Douglas C. Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage, stated, "We are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter and a record full year for fiscal 2012. Growing demand for and interest in our products combined with a stronger distributor base and infrastructure enabled us to increase our annual revenue by 224%, increase operating income by 480% and exceed the top end of our previously issued guidance range."

Mr. Robinson continued, "In fiscal 2012, we made strategic investments into our infrastructure and personnel in corporate administration, finance, marketing, operations, sales and R&D in order to put the necessary platform in place for us to continue our strong growth. As we begin fiscal 2013, we are excited about the opportunities ahead of us. In addition to continuing our strong organic growth in the core United States market, we plan to expand our international presence and enter new markets as well.

"Our financial and operating improvements in fiscal 2012 have also enabled us to achieve a listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market for our common stock. This event marks a major milestone in LifeVantage's history and will be an important step in achieving long-term shareholder value for our company."

Mr. Robinson concluded, "As we enter fiscal 2013, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver another record year of revenue and operating income growth. We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout this year."

Nasdaq Capital Market Listing

The Company announced today that its common stock has been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Shares of LifeVantage's common stock are expected to commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under its current ticker symbol "LFVN," effective at market opening on September 12, 2012.

Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter Results

For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported record net revenue of $44.6 million, compared to $15.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2011, an increase of 197%. On a sequential quarter basis, net revenue increased 23% from the $36.2 million reported for the Company's 2012 third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012.

The year-over-year sales increase was driven by increases in active independent distributors and active preferred customers. The Company defines an active independent distributor as someone who has, in the prior three months, purchased a business pack containing product and sales aids and who intends to sell product to, and actively enroll, other independent distributors and/or preferred customers. The number of active independent distributors increased to approximately 46,000 as of June 30, 2012, compared to approximately 16,000 active independent distributors as of June 30, 2011. Active preferred customers are defined as those customers who have purchased products in the past three months at wholesale price on a monthly auto-ship basis for personal consumption, without the intent to resell LifeVantage products. The number of active preferred customers increased to approximately 119,000 as of June 30, 2012, compared to approximately 35,000 active preferred customers as of June 30, 2011.     

Gross profit for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased to $38.2 million, compared to $12.9 million for the same period last year, delivering a gross margin of 85.6%, compared to 85.9% for the prior year period. 

Operating expenses for the fiscal year 2012 fourth quarter increased to $30.8 million from $11.0 million for the prior year period, but decreased as a percent of revenue to 69.1% for the fiscal year 2012 fourth quarter, compared to 72.9% of revenue for the same period last year. On a sequential quarter basis, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly from 68.5% in the third fiscal quarter. The increase in the amount of operating expenses is due primarily to increased sales commissions which are a direct result of the Company's higher sales volume. This increase in the amount of operating expenses also reflects greater investment in personnel and infrastructure to position the Company for future growth. 

Operating income improved to $7.3 million for the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to $2.0 million in the same period last year and $6.4 million in the third fiscal quarter. This was the Company's eighth consecutive quarter of achieving operating income. Operating income margin was 16.5% in the fourth fiscal quarter, compared to 13.0% in the same period last year and 17.7% in the third fiscal quarter. 

Net Income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $4.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $47.2 million, or $(0.56) per diluted share. 

Fiscal 2012 Full Year Results

For the full year ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported record net revenue of $126.2 million, compared to $38.9 million in fiscal 2011, a 224% increase. Operating income increased to $21.5 million, compared to $3.7 million for the prior fiscal year. Net Income improved to $12.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $50.8 million or $(0.69) per diluted share for the prior fiscal year.   

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

The Company's cash balance at June 30, 2012 was $24.6 million, a significant increase from $6.4 million at the end of fiscal 2011, due to strong revenue growth and operating profits. The Company generated $19.4 million of cash flow from operations for the full year ended June 30, 2012, compared to $4.7 million for the prior fiscal year. Stockholders' Equity increased to $28.3 million as of June 30, 2012 compared to a Stockholders' Deficit of $(20.8) million as of June 30, 2011.

Dave Colbert, the Company's recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We finished fiscal 2012 in a much stronger financial position compared to previous years. Our strong cash balance provides us the financial flexibility to make strategic investments in our business and continue improving our infrastructure. Importantly, our balance sheet is free of all derivative liabilities, and in fiscal 2013, we will present financial results that we believe will more accurately reflect the operational performance of our business without the impact of non-cash accounting adjustments."

Fiscal Year 2013 Guidance

The Company anticipates continued strong growth in fiscal 2013. LifeVantage expects to generate revenue for fiscal 2013 in the range of $250 million to $260 million. The Company expects to generate operating income in the range of $34.5 million to $38.2 million, and an operating margin of 13.8% to 14.7%. The Company expects to generate earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.18 to $0.20, based on estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 129 million.
