Herbalife Outlines Growth Strategy Focused on APAC Momentum, Margin Expansion, and Debt Reduction
During a presentation at the Midwest IDEAS Conference, Herbalife outlined its strategy for returning to growth through regional momentum in Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Latin America. The company reported second-quarter sales increases of 15.2% in APAC and 16% in Latin America, while North America is stabilizing after a post-pandemic decline. Herbalife also emphasized its product expansion into sports nutrition, healthy-lifespan solutions, ketone products, skincare, and personalized nutrition via the Bioniq acquisition and Pro2col platform. The company has reduced gross debt by $800 million since 2021 and aims to cut it further to $1.4 billion by 2028. Recent refinancing efforts are expected to save about $45 million annually in interest costs, while the firm raised its full-year net-sales growth guidance to between 2.5% and 5.5%. Herbalife’s direct-selling model relies on a global network of distributors, with active sales leaders up by 4.3%. The company operates more than 63,000 nutrition clubs globally, which serve as key touchpoints for customer engagement.
