Cash and marketable securities totaled $21.2 million as of March 31, 2026, down from $28.9 million at the end of 2025, primarily due to share repurchases, dividend payments and operating cash outflows. Cash flow trends were less favorable, with the company using $797,000 in operating activities against generating $484,000 in the prior-year period, reflecting both lower profitability and working capital changes.

Image source: The Motley Fool. Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. ET President — Chris Sharng Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — Scott Davidson Chris Sharng: Thank you, Michelle, and thanks to everyone for joining us this morning to discuss our third quarter 2025 financial results. With me today is Scott Davidson, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Third quarter net sales decreased 11% to $9.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2024, while orders declined 5% year-over-year. The decrease in net sales is in part due to the timing of product promotion and the presale of our new skin care line at the end of September 2025 in Hong Kong. The economic outlook in our largest market remains challenging in the near term. In response, we're executing a targeted major restructuring plan, which we expect will result in $1.5 million annualized savings by mid-2026. Our ongoing measures include optimizing our workforce by approximately 10%, reducing operating costs and cutting back or exiting certain facility leases. Also, as reported last quarter, we already begun the process of transitioning U.S.-based product manufacturing to be closer to Asia to mitigate tariff uncertainty, streamline logistics and reduce costs. As part of these restructuring initiatives, we expect to incur a onetime charge of approximately $250,000 in the fourth quarter and anticipate a reduction in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 per share in the first quarter next year. These actions will enable investments in new systems and technologies, including an AI-enabled marketing app and a member interface business suite as well as new marketing initiatives designed to drive growth and engagement. By aligning costs with global sales performance, we are positioning the company for sustainable growth, profitability and long-term value creation. In mid-September, we hosted a 4-day cruise to Kagoshima Japan, recognizing our top-performing and up-and-coming members and qualifiers with immersive training and team building experiences designed to strengthen collaboration and performance. Our Greater China market remains focused on continuous training and leadership development to deepen product expertise and reinforce the strong foundation needed for sustained business growth. In Hong Kong, we prelaunched a new Korean formulated moisturizing skin care series c...
