NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mannatech, Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), located in Flower Mound, Texas, was incorporated in the state of Texas on November 4, 1993 and is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “MTEX”. The Company develops, markets, and sells high-quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care and anti-aging products, and weight-management products. We currently sell our products into three regions: (i) the Americas (the United States, Canada, Colombia and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); and (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China).

On July 1, 2017, the Company revised its 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was designed to stimulate business growth and development for our active business building associates ("independent associates" or "associates") and to maximize the buying experience for our preferred customers. In doing so, the Company hopes to better utilize commission dollars to stimulate Company growth. The 2017 Associate Compensation Plan provides revised income streams, new leadership levels and titles, and modified various volume requirements for our associates. In addition, the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan re-designated members as preferred customers and modified their pricing structure.

Associates and now preferred customers purchase the Company’s products at published wholesale prices. The Company cannot distinguish products sold for personal use from other sales, when sold to associates, because it is not involved with the products after delivery, other than usual and customary product warranties and returns. Only associates are eligible to earn commissions and incentives. The Company operates a non-direct selling business in mainland China. Our subsidiary in China, Meitai Daily Necessity & Health Products Co., Ltd. (“Meitai”), is operating as a traditional retailer under a cross-border e-commerce model in China. Meitai cannot legally conduct a direct selling business in China unless it acquires a direct selling license in China.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained herein do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP to be considered “complete financial statements”. However, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial information as of, and for, the periods presented. The Company cautions that its consolidated results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of its consolidated results of operations to be expected for its fiscal year. The December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet was included in the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2018 (the “2017 Annual Report”), which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the 2017 Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors. The Company continually evaluates the information used to make these estimates as the business and economic environment changes. Historically, actual results have not varied materially from the Company’s estimates and the Company does not currently anticipate a significant change in its assumptions related to these estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The use of estimates is pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, but the accounting policies and estimates considered the most significant are described in this note to the consolidated financial statements, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company includes in its cash and cash equivalents credit card receivables due from its credit card processor, as the cash proceeds from credit card receivables are received within 24 to 72 hours. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, credit card receivables were $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts in foreign countries totaled $18.3 million and $30.6 million, respectively. The Company invests cash in liquid instruments, such as money market funds and interest bearing deposits. The Company also holds cash in high quality financial institutions and does not believe it has an excessive exposure to credit concentration risk.

A significant portion of our cash and cash equivalent balances were concentrated within the Republic of South Korea, with total net assets within this foreign location totaling $35.2 million and $32.7 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a concentrated portion of our operating cash flows were earned from operations within the Republic of South Korea. An adverse change in economic conditions within the Republic of South Korea could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company is required to restrict cash for: (i) direct selling insurance premiums and credit card sales in the Republic of Korea; (ii) reserve on credit card sales in the United States and Canada; and (iii) the Australia building lease collateral. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our total restricted cash was $8.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Company's consolidated balance sheets to the total amount presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	37,682	$	28,687
Current restricted cash at beginning of period	1,514		1,510
Long-term restricted cash at beginning of period	7,565		6,429
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	46,761	$	36,626

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	28,775	$	37,682
Current restricted cash at end of period	1,513		1,514
Long-term restricted cash at end of period	7,242		7,565
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period	$	37,530	$	46,761

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Receivables are created upon shipment of an order if the credit card payment is rejected or does not match the order total. As of each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, receivables consisted primarily of amounts due from preferred customers and associates. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company's accounts receivable balance (net of allowance) was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates its receivables for collectability based on historical experience, recent account activities, and the length of time receivables are past due and writes-off receivables when they become uncollectible. As of each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.6 million.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and promotional materials that are stated at the lower of cost (using standard costs that approximate average costs) or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as obsolete are reserved or written off.

Other Assets

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, other assets were $3.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. These amounts primarily consisted of deposits for building leases in various locations of $1.9 million at each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Additionally, included in the June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 balances was $1.7 million representing a deposit with Mutual Aid Cooperative and Consumer in the Republic of Korea, an organization established by the Republic of Korea’s Fair Trade Commission to protect consumers who participate in network marketing activities. Also included in each of the June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 balances was $0.2 million of indefinite lived intangible assets relating to the Manapol® powder trademark.

Notes Payable

Notes payable were $1.8 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as a result of funding from a capital financing agreement related to our investment in leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software and other financing arrangements. At June 30, 2018, the current portion was $1.0 million. At December 31, 2017, the current portion was $0.8 million.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities were $2.8 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $0.2 million in other long-term liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions (see Note 7, Income Taxes, of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed March 26, 2018). Certain operating leases for the Company’s regional office facilities contain a restoration clause that requires the Company to restore the premises to its original condition. At each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accrued restoration costs related to these leases amounted to $0.4 million. At each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company also recorded a long-term liability for estimated defined benefit obligation related to a non-U.S. defined benefit plan for its Japan operations of $0.4 million (see Note 9, Employee Benefit Plans, of the Company’s 10-K, filed March 26, 2018). As of June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $1.4 million in other long-term liabilities for lease incentives related to the corporate headquarters operating lease.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of individual products and associate fees or, in certain geographic markets, starter and renewal packs. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales are made at published wholesale prices to associates and preferred customers. The Company records revenue net of any sales taxes and records a reserve for expected sales returns based on its historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue from shipped products when control of the product transfers to the customer, thus the performance obligation is satisfied. Corporate-sponsored event revenue is recognized when the event is held.

As a result of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was implemented on July 1, 2017, the Company also collects associate fees, which relate to providing associates with the right to earn commissions, benefits and incentives for an annual period. Revenue from software tools included in the first contractual year is recognized over three months and revenue from associate fees is recognized over 12 months (see Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations for recognition guidelines). Almost all orders are paid via credit card. See Note 9, Segment Information, for disaggregation of revenues by geographic segment and type.

The Company collected associate fees within the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan since the implementation of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan. Prior to the change, associates purchased packs that were bundles of products within these respective geographic markets.

Deferred Commissions

The Company defers commissions on (i) the sales of products shipped but not received by customers by the end of the respective period and (ii) the loyalty program. Deferred commissions are incremental costs and are amortized to expense consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. Deferred commissions were $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Of this balance $1.8 million was amortized to commissions expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, deferred commissions were $3.1 million.

Deferred Revenue

The Company defers certain components of its revenue. Deferred revenue consisted of: (i) sales of products shipped but not received by customers by the end of the respective period; (ii) revenue from the loyalty program; (iii) prepaid registration fees from customers planning to attend a future corporate-sponsored event, and (iv) prepaid annual associate fees. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s deferred revenue was $8.6 million. Of this balance, $4.6 million was recognized as revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s deferred revenue was $7.3 million.

Mannatech’s customer loyalty program conveys a material right to the customer as it provides the promise to redeem loyalty points for the purchase of products, which is based on earning points through placing consecutive qualified automatic orders. The timing and recognition of loyalty points has not changed with the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The Company factors in breakage rates, which is the percentage of the loyalty points that are expected to be forfeited or expire, for purposes of revenue recognition. Breakage rates are estimated based on historical data and can be reasonably and objectively determined. There have not been significant changes for the breakage estimate as a result of adopting ASC 606. The deferred revenue associated with the loyalty program at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $5.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Sales Refund and Allowances

The Company utilizes the expected value method, as set forth by ASC 606, to estimate the sales returns and allowance liability by taking the weighted average of the sales return rates over a rolling six-month period. The Company allocates the total amount recorded within the sales return and allowance liability as a reduction of the overall transaction price for the Company’s product sales. The Company deems the sales refund and allowance liability to be a variable consideration. The method for estimating the sales returns and allowance liability has remained consistent as a result of adopting ASC 606.

Historically, sales returns have not materially changed through the years, as the majority of our customers who return their merchandise do so within the first 90 days after the original sale. Sales returns have historically averaged 1.5% or less of our gross sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 our sales return reserve consisted of the following (in thousands):

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Orders placed by associates or preferred customers constitute our contracts. Product sales placed in the form of an automatic order contain two performance obligations - a) the sale of the product and b) the loyalty program. For these contracts, the Company accounts for each of these obligations separately as they are each distinct. The transaction price is allocated between the product sale and the loyalty program on a relative standalone selling price basis. Sales placed through a one-time order contain only the first performance obligation noted above - the sale of the product.

The Company provides associates with access to a complimentary three-month package for the Success Tracker^TM and Mannatech+ online business tools with the first payment of an associate fee. The first payment of an associate fee contains three performance obligations - a) the associate fee, whereby the Company provides an associate with the right to earn commissions, bonuses and incentives for a year, b) three months of complimentary access to utilize the Success Tracker™ online tool and c) three months of complimentary access to utilize the Mannatech+ online business tool. The transaction price is allocated between the three performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Associates do not have complimentary access to online business tools after the first contractual period.

With regards to both of the aforementioned contracts, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of the contracts.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records inbound freight as a component of inventory and cost of sales. The Company records freight and shipping fees collected from its customers as fulfillment costs. In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-18a, freight and shipping fees are not deemed to be separate performance obligations as these activities occur before the customer receives the product.

Commissions and Incentives

Associates earn commissions and incentives based on their direct and indirect commissionable net sales over each month of the fiscal year. The Company accrues commissions and incentives when earned by associates and pays commissions on product and pack sales on a monthly basis.

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of the Company’s net income, foreign currency translation adjustments from its Japan, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Colombia, Mexico and China operations, remeasurement of intercompany balances classified as equity in its Korea, Mexico and Cyprus operations, and changes in the pension obligation for its Japanese employees.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2018. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. The standard allows for two transition methods - entities can either apply the new standard (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after that date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net), in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provide additional clarification on certain topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12 follow the same implementation guidelines as ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14. All of these aforementioned ASUs have been codified under ASC 606. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach applied to open contracts at the date of initial application. As the cumulative effect of applying the modified retrospective approach was immaterial, no adjustment was recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The timing of revenue recognition for our

various revenue streams was not materially impacted by the adoption of this standard. The Company believes its business processes, systems, and controls are appropriate to support recognition and disclosure under ASC 606. In addition, the adoption has led to increased footnote disclosures. The overall financial impact of adopting this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), during the first quarter of 2018. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which addresses the diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Restricted cash amounts are to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts of cash on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements, financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

The Company adopted ASU 2017-09, Compensation, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), during the first quarter of 2018. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is required to be applied prospectively. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements, financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently in the initial stages of evaluating the future impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The overall financial impact of adopting this standard is unknown at this time.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which amended its standard on comprehensive income to provide an option for an entity to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") that was passed in December of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) directly to retained earnings. The stranded tax effects result from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which were originally recorded in comprehensive income but whose remeasurement is reflected in the income statement. This is a one-time amendment applicable only to the changes resulting from the TCJA. The standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and may be reflected retroactively to any period in which the impacts of the TCJA are recognized. The standard permits early adoption for any financial statements that have not been released as of the date of the revised standard. The overall financial impact of adopting this standard is unknown at this time.

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 3: INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate was (359.8)% and (44.6)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was 36.5% and 36.6%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was determined based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, were different from the federal statutory rate due to the mix of earnings across jurisdictions, add-backs from foreign loss positions in certain jurisdictions and the impact of global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) as a result of the TCJA.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, was slightly higher than would have been expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before tax. Items increasing the effective income tax rate include the valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets, “subpart F income” resulting from controlled foreign corporation operations and foreign permanent components. Items decreasing the effective income tax rate include the favorable rate differences from foreign jurisdictions, unrealized foreign exchange gains and deductions on non-qualified stock options.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the TCJA, in effect allowing an entity to use a methodology similar to the measurement period in a business combination. Pursuant to the disclosure provisions of SAB 118, as of June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. The Company recorded a reasonable estimate of the impact from the TCJA, but is still analyzing the TCJA and refining our calculations. Additionally, future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, SEC, or the FASB could result in changes to our accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA.

NOTE 4: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company calculates basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS also reflects the potential dilution that could occur if common stock were issued for awards outstanding under the Mannatech, Incorporated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.

In determining the potential dilution effect of outstanding stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used the quarterly and six-month ended average common stock close price of $19.46 and $17.12 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, approximately 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares of the Company's common stock subject to options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive. The Company reported a net loss for both of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

In determining the potential dilution effect of outstanding stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used the quarterly and six-month ended average common stock close price of $15.04 and $16.71 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares of the Company's common stock subject to options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, respectively, as the effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 5: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, the Mannatech, Incorporated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 17, 2017 and was approved by its shareholders on June 8, 2017. The 2017 Plan supersedes the Mannatech, Incorporated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which was set to expire on February 20, 2018. The Board has reserved a maximum of 250,000 shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2017 Plan, consisting of 181,674 newly reserved shares and 68,326 shares that remained available for issuance under the 2008 Plan (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in corporate capitalization). As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a total of 39,572 shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan, which expires on April 16, 2027.

The 2008 Plan provided, and the 2017 Plan provides, for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock and performance stock units to our employees, board members, and consultants. However, only employees of the Company and its corporate subsidiaries are eligible to receive incentive stock options. The exercise price per share for all stock options will be no less than the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Any incentive stock option granted to an employee owning more than 10% of our common stock will have an exercise price of no less than 110% of our common stock’s market value on the grant date.

The majority of stock options vest over two or three years, and generally are granted with a term of ten years, or five years in the case of an incentive option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of our common stock.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to granting stock options in selling and administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the company granted 184,667 and 10,000 stock options, respectively. The fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $7.29 and $5.87 per share, respectively.

On or before April 12, 2015, Mannatech Korea, Ltd. filed a suit against the Busan Custom Office (“BCO”) to challenge BCO’s method of calculation regarding its assessment notice issued on July 11, 2013. The assessment notice included an audit of the Company’s imported goods covering fiscal years 2008 through 2012 and required the Company to pay $1.0 million for this assessment, all of which was paid in January 2014. Both parties submitted a response to the Court’s inquiry on January 15, 2016. The final hearing for the case was held on May 26, 2016 where each party presented their respective arguments. The Court set the decision hearing on October 27, 2016, and the Court decided the case in the Company’s favor. However, on November 18, 2016, BCO filed an appeal to the Busan High Court. The first hearing occurred on March 31, 2017, and the second hearing occurred on April 21, 2017. The final hearing was held on June 2, 2017.

Patent Litigation

Mannatech, Incorporated v. Wellness Quest, LLC and Harley Reginald McDaniel, Case No. 3:14-cv-2497, U.S. District Court, for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division

On July 11, 2014 the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Wellness Quest, LLC and Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel (“Defendants”) alleging the Defendants infringe United States Patent Nos. 7,157,431 and 7,202,220, both entitled “Compositions of Plant Carbohydrates as Dietary Supplements,” (the “Patents”) and seeking to stop their manufacture, offer, and sale of infringing glyconutritional dietary supplement products. Mediation on this matter was held on April 24, 2015 and a settlement was not reached.

On November 5, 2015, the Court issued an Order accepting Defendant’s stipulation of infringement under the Court’s claim interpretation and granted the Company’s partial motion for summary judgment and issued a permanent injunction against Defendants’ infringement of the Patents. The Court stayed the permanent injunction until the conclusion of Defendants’ appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”). On August 5, 2016, the Court of Appeals issued a per curium opinion affirming the trial court’s judgment in favor of the Company. On August 10, 2016, the Company filed a motion to lift the stay of permanent injunction previously issued by the trial court. On August 24, 2016, the Company received confirmation from its counsel that Defendants changed the formulation of the infringing product to a formulation proposed by the Company. On October 18, 2016, the Court entered an order lifting the stay and putting the permanent injunction back into full effect. On March 31, 2017, the Court entered the Agreed Scheduling Order for trial on damages and determination of willfulness.

On June 22, 2017, bankruptcy counsel for Defendant Dr. McDaniel filed a Suggestion of Bankruptcy with the Court notifying the Court and the Company that on June 20, 2017, Defendant Dr. McDaniel filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas in Cause No. 17-42560. This case was automatically stayed, which under the Bankruptcy Code, prevents any type of collection to continue including litigation against the debtor. Defendant Dr. McDaniel asserted that the stay included Defendant Wellness Quest as it is wholly owned by Defendant Dr. McDaniel. On May 11, 2018, the Court entered an order granting a discharge to Defendant Dr. McDaniel in the bankruptcy proceeding. Concerned that the cost of prosecuting its remaining claim for damages against Defendant Wellness Quest would far exceed Defendant Wellness Quest’s ability to pay, the Company submitted an Agreed Order to Dismiss the matter on June 8, 2018. The Court entered an order dismissing the case on June 18, 2018. The Company considers this matter closed.

In Re: Harley Reginald McDaniel, Case No. 17-42560 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas)

On June 22, 2017, the Company received notice that on June 20, 2017, Dr. H. Reginald McDaniel (the “Debtor”) filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Company is the largest creditor based on the Company’s judgment against the Debtor in the patent litigation styled, Mannatech, Incorporated v. Wellness Quest, LLC and Harley Reginald McDaniel. The Debtor asserts that the value of the debt is $700,000. The Company engaged bankruptcy counsel. The first meeting of creditors was held on August 8, 2017. On August 24, 2017, the Chapter 7 Trustee and the Company each filed objections to certain exemptions asserted by the Debtor. On August 25, 2017, the U.S. Trustee filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. On September 14, 2017, the Company filed its response opposing the U.S. Trustee’s motion on the grounds that dismissal would be contrary to the best interests of the creditors. A hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on September 20, 2017. On October 12, 2017, the U.S. Trustee stipulated to dismiss its dismissal motion. On November 7, 2017, the Company filed a proof of claim in the amount of $700,000. On November 27, 2017, the Company commenced an adversary proceeding in the case styled Mannatech, Inc. v. Harley Reginald McDaniel, Sr., Adversary Number 17-04153 against the Debtor seeking a declaration that the indebtedness to Mannatech is non-dischargeable. On December 27, 2017, the Chapter 7 Trustee, the Debtor,

On January 31, 2018, the Court entered an Order granting the Trustee’s motion. On March 9, 2018, the Company dismissed the adversarial case against the Debtor. On March 15, 2018, the Company received notice that the Chapter 7 Trustee submitted the Final Report to the U.S. Trustee’s office for approval. The U.S. Trustee filed the Notice of the Trustee’s Final Report and Application for Compensation with the Court on April 24, 2018. Under the Final Report, the Company is scheduled to receive $62,976.69 for its allowed, general unsecured claim. Objections to the Final Report or the Application for Compensation must be filed with Court and served on the U.S. Trustee within 30 days of the date of the notice. If no objection to the Final Report is filed and served, the U.S. Trustee may pay proceeds contemplated by the Final Report without further order of the Court. No objections to the Final Report were filed. On May 11, 2018, the Court entered an order granting a discharge to the Debtor. On June 4, 2018 the Company received a check for $62,976.69 as its portion of the proceeds from the bankruptcy estate. The Company considers this matter closed.

Trademark Opposition - U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

United States Trademark Opposition No. 91221493, Shaklee Corporation v. Mannatech, Incorporated re: UTH

On April 15, 2015, the Company received notice that Shaklee Corporation (“Shaklee”) filed a Notice of Opposition to the Company’s trademark application for UTH (stylized as Û ^th) with the USPTO. On May 19, 2015, the Company filed an answer to the opposition and also filed a counterclaim seeking to cancel Shaklee’s registration of its YOUTH mark.

On March 28, 2017, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (the "TTAB") ruled on the 56(d) Motion, granting the Company’s motion in part to oblige Shaklee to answer the Company’s request for discovery related to Shaklee’s use or non-use of the YOUTH mark. The Company took the deposition of Shaklee’s designated witness on May 31, 2017. On June 29, 2017, the Company filed Applicant’s Opposition to Opposer’s Motion for Summary Judgment on Applicant’s Counterclaim for Abandonment and Applicant’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment on its Counterclaim for Abandonment. Shaklee’s reply in support of their Motion for Summary Judgement and Response to the Company’s Counterclaim was filed on August 3, 2017. Each party’s respective motions for summary judgment were denied by the TTAB. The Company filed its expert disclosures on and the parties completed discovery on May 21, 2018. The Company’s pretrial disclosures are due on September 3, 2018.

It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this office action or whether the Company will incur any liability, or to estimate the ranges of damages, if any, which may be incurred in connection with this matter. However, the Company believes it has a valid defense and will vigorously defend this claim. This matter remains open.

Litigation in General

The Company has incurred several claims in the normal course of business. The Company believes such claims can be resolved without any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company maintains certain liability insurance; however, certain costs of defending lawsuits are not covered by or only partially covered by its insurance policies, including claims that are below insurance deductibles. Additionally, insurance carriers could refuse to cover certain claims, in whole or in part. The Company accrues costs to defend itself from litigation as they are incurred or as they become determinable.

The outcome of litigation is uncertain, and despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of the Company’s estimates and reserves, the Company’s financial statements could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from current legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable, and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial assets and to determine fair value disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 820) of the FASB establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable market data, when available, and prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in the following categories:


•	Level 1 – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all observable inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.


•	Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable, including assumptions developed by the Company.

The primary objective of the Company’s investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. The investment instruments held by the Company are money market funds and interest bearing deposits for which quoted market prices are readily available. The Company considers these highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The Company does not have any material financial liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018. The table below presents the recorded amount of financial assets measured at fair value (in thousands) on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's sole reporting segment is one where we sell proprietary nutritional supplements, skin care and anti-aging products, and weight-management and fitness products through network marketing distribution channels operating in twenty-five countries. Each of the business units sells similar packs (with the exception of the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan where packs have been replaced with associate fees, see Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and products and possesses similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins. In each country, the Company markets its products and pays commissions and incentives in similar market environments. The Company’s management reviews its financial information by country and focuses its internal reporting and analysis of revenues by pack sales and associate fees and product sales. The Company sells its products through its independent associates who occupy positions in our network and distribute products through similar distribution channels in each country. No single independent associate has ever accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. The Company also operates a non-direct selling business in mainland China. Our subsidiary in China, Meitai, is operating as a traditional retailer under a cross-border e-commerce model. Meitai cannot legally conduct a direct selling business in China unless it acquires a direct selling license in China.

The Company operates facilities in fourteen countries and sells product in twenty-six countries around the world. These facilities are located in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Taiwan, South Africa, Mexico, Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombia and China. Each facility services different geographic areas. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) the Americas (the United States, Canada, Colombia and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); and (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China).

Consolidated net sales shipped to customers in these regions, along with pack or associate fee and product information for the three and six months ended June 30, were as follows (in millions, except percentages):

^(a)Coincident with the introduction of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was implemented on July 1, 2017, the Company collects associate fees, which each independent associate pays to the Company annually in order to be entitled to earn commissions, benefits and incentives for that year. The Company collected associate fees within the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan since the implementation of 2017 Associate Compensation Plan. Prior to the change, independent associates purchased packs that were bundles of products within these respective geographic markets. Since implementing the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, total associate fees represented an immaterial amount of total sales.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017, and should be read in conjunction with Item 1 “Financial Statements” in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Unless stated otherwise, all financial information presented below, throughout this report, and in the consolidated financial statements and related notes includes Mannatech and all of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we disclose certain adjusted financial measures which we refer to as Constant dollar (“Constant dollar”) measures, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section herein for a description of how such Constant dollar measures are determined.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Mannatech is a global wellness solution provider, which was incorporated and began operations in November 1993. We develop and sell innovative, high quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care and anti-aging products, and weight-management products that target optimal health and wellness. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) the Americas (the United States, Canada, Colombia and Mexico); (ii) Europe/the Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”) (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); and (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China).

On July 1, 2017, we revised our 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was designed to stimulate business growth and development for our active business building associates and to maximize the buying experience for our preferred customers. In doing so, the Company hopes to better utilize commission dollars to stimulate Company growth. The 2017 Associate Compensation Plan provides revised income streams, new leadership levels and titles, and modified various volume requirements for our associates. In addition, the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan re-designated members as preferred customers and modified their pricing structure.

We conduct our business as a single operating segment and primarily sell our products through a network of approximately 202,000 active associates and preferred customer positions held by individuals that had purchased our products and/or packs or paid associate fees during the last 12 months, who we refer to as current associates and preferred customers. New pack sales and the receipt of new associate fees in connection with new positions in our network are leading indicators for the long-term success of our business. New associate or preferred customer positions are created in our network when our associate fees are paid or packs and products are purchased for the first time under a new account. We operate as a seller of nutritional supplements, topical and skin care and anti-aging products, and weight-management products through our network marketing distribution channels operating in 25 countries and direct e-commerce retail in China. We review and analyze net sales by geographical location and by packs and products on a consolidated basis. Each of our subsidiaries sells similar products and exhibits similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins.

Because we sell our products through network marketing distribution channels, the opportunities and challenges that affect us most are: recruitment of new and retention of current associates and preferred customers that occupy sales or purchasing positions in our network; entry into new markets and growth of existing markets; niche market development; new product introduction; and investment in our infrastructure. Our subsidiary in China, Meitai, is currently operating as a traditional retailer under a cross-border e-commerce model. Meitai cannot legally conduct a direct selling business in China until it acquires a direct selling license in China.

Current Economic Conditions and Recent Developments

Overall net sales decreased $2.6 million, or 5.3%, to $45.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $1.8 million, or 2.0%, to $86.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our net sales declined 7.3% and 5.1%, respectively, on a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below); favorable foreign exchange during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, caused a $0.9 million and $2.7 million increase, respectively, in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our operations outside of the Americas accounted for approximately 61.6% and 64.2%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales.

The net sales comparisons for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were primarily affected by the average value of product orders and the transition to associate fees from pack sales in conjunction with the changes made to our 2017 Associate Compensation Plan.

•

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the average product order value increased 15.2%, to $205, as compared to $178 for the same period in 2017. This was partially offset by a 8.9% decrease in the number of product orders, to 222,775 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 244,438 during the same period in 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the average product order value increased 18.2%, to $201, as compared to $170 for the same period in 2017. This was partially offset by a 6.5% decrease in the number of product orders, to 443,711for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 474,461 during the same period in 2017.

•

The number of packs sold to, and associate fees paid by, new and continuing independent associates and preferred customers decreased 22.6% during the second quarter of 2018 to 23,779, as compared to 30,734 during the same period in 2017. In addition, the average value of packs and associate fees decreased by $170, to $25 for the second quarter of 2018, as compared to $195 for the same period in 2017. The number of packs sold to, and associate fees paid by, new and continuing independent associates and preferred customers decreased 24.9% to 44,517, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 59,250 for the same period in 2017. Additionally, the average value of packs and associate fees decreased by $172, to $25, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $197 for the same period in 2017.

The changes in our 2017 Associate Compensation Plan were strategically designed to reduce the importance of pack sales and maximize the buying experience for our preferred customers, thus affecting the mix between product and pack sales. Additional information regarding the changes to our 2017 Associate Compensation Plan can be found in the Current Economic Conditions and Recent Developments section of Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed March 26, 2018.

Excluding the effects due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, net sales would have decreased $3.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. These adjusted net sales expressed in Constant dollars are a non-GAAP financial measure discussed in further detail below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as Constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

Product Sales

Our product sales are made to our independent associates and preferred customers at published wholesale prices. We also sell our products to preferred customers in various markets at discounted published retail prices.

Product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $3.0 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in product sales was primarily due to an increase in the average order value. The average order value for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $205, as compared to $178 for the same period in 2017. The number of orders processed during the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 8.9%, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $8.9 million, or 11.6%, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Pack Sales and Associate Fees

As a result of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was implemented on July 1, 2017, the Company now collects associate fees in lieu of selling packs in certain markets. Associate fees are paid annually by new and continuing associates to the Company, which entitle them to earn commissions, benefits and incentives for that year. The Company collected associate fees in lieu of pack sales within the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan since the implementation of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan. Prior to the change, pack sales represented sales of packs that were bundles of products within these respective geographic markets. Since implementing the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, total associate fees for these respective geographic markets represented an immaterial amount of total sales. In order to stay current and competitive with industry changes, the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan was strategically designed to reduce the importance of pack sales. As such, over the course of the coming year, we will seek to replace pack sales with associate fees in all of our geographic markets.

Table of Contents

In markets other than the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, packs may still be purchased by our associates who wish to build a Mannatech business. We also do not collect associate fees or sell packs in our non-direct selling business in mainland China. These packs contain products that are discounted from both the published retail and associate prices. There are several pack options available to our associates. In certain of these markets, pack sales are completed during the final stages of the registration process and can provide new associates with valuable training and promotional materials, as well as products for resale to retail customers, demonstration purposes, and personal consumption. Business-building associates in these markets can also purchase an upgrade pack, which provides the associate with additional promotional materials, additional products, and eligibility for additional commissions and incentives.

The dollar amount of pack sales and associate fees related to new and continuing independent associates held by individuals in our network was as follows, for the three and six months ended June 30, (in millions, except percentages):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2018		2017		Dollar			Percentage

Total pack sales and associate fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $5.4 million, or 90.0%, to $0.6 million, as compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2017. Average pack and associate fee value for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $25, as compared to $195 for the same period in 2017. The total number of packs and associate fees sold decreased by 6,955, or 22.6%, to 23,779 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Total pack sales and associate fees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $10.6 million, or 90.6%, to $1.1 million, as compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2017.

The total number of packs and associate fees sold decreased by 14,733, or 24.9%, to 44,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Pack sales and associate fees correlate to new associate positions held by individuals in our network when a starter pack or associate fee is purchased and to continuing associate positions held by individuals in our network when an upgrade or a renewal pack or renewal associate fee is purchased. However, there is no direct correlation between product sales and the number of new and continuing associate positions and preferred customer positions held by individuals in our network because associates and preferred customers utilize products at different volumes.

Income from our international operations is subject to taxation in the countries in which we operate. Although we may receive foreign income tax credits that would reduce the total amount of income taxes owed in the United States, we may not be able to fully utilize our foreign income tax credits in the United States.

We use the recognition and measurement provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), to account for income taxes. The provisions of Topic 740 require a company to record a valuation allowance when the “more likely than not” criterion for realizing net deferred tax assets cannot be met. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of such evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. As

a result, we reviewed the operating results, as well as all of the positive and negative evidence related to realization of such deferred tax assets to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance in each tax jurisdiction.

For each of the periods ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we maintained the following valuation allowances for deferred tax assets totaling $12.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively, as we believe the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition and realization purposes, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 740, cannot be met:



Country	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017

The dollar amount of the provisions for income taxes is directly related to our profitability and changes in the taxable income among countries of operation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate was (359.8)% and (44.6)%, respectively, as compared to 36.5% and 36.6%, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were different from the federal statutory rate due to the mix of earnings across jurisdictions, add-backs from foreign loss positions in certain jurisdictions and the impact of global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) as a result of the TCJA.

The effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, was slightly higher than would have been expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before tax. Items increasing the effective income tax rate include the valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets, “subpart F income” resulting from controlled foreign corporation operations and foreign permanent components. Items decreasing the effective income tax rate include the favorable rate differences from foreign jurisdictions, unrealized foreign exchange gains and deductions on non-qualified stock options.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by 23.6%, or $8.9 million, to $28.8 million from $37.7 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company is required to restrict cash for direct selling insurance premiums and credit card sales in the Republic of Korea. The current portion of restricted cash balances were $1.5 million at each of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Finally, fluctuations in currency rates produced a decrease of $1.7 million and an increase of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our principal use of cash is to pay for operating expenses, including commissions and incentives, capital assets, inventory purchases, and periodic cash dividends. Business objectives, operations, and expansion of operations are funded through net cash flows from operations rather than incurring long-term debt.

Working Capital

Working capital represents total current assets less total current liabilities. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our working capital was $12.9 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The change in working capital is primarily due to cash used to repurchase common stock pursuant to our tender offer and increases in taxes payable and commissions and incentives payable.

Net Cash Flows

Our net consolidated cash flows consisted of the following, for the six months ended June 30 (in millions):



Provided by/(Used in):	2018			2017
Operating activities	$	1.7		$	7.8
Investing activities	$	(1.0	)	$	(0.7	)
Financing activities	$	(8.3	)	$	(1.4	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.8 million for the same period in 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we purchased inventory, collected cash from our income tax receivable, used less cash to pay commissions due to the timing of our commission payments, and managed our accrued expenses and other liabilities and taxes payable carefully. We defer certain components of our revenue and commission expense as discussed in Revenue Recognition and Deferred Commissions in Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We defer the recognition of revenue on payments received and related commission expenses on payments made. Recognition of revenue previously collected and deferred resulted in cash used of $1.3 million. Recognition of the related commission expense previously paid on the deferred revenue resulted in a $0.8 million source cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold inventory, collected cash from our income tax receivable, and managed our prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable carefully.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we invested cash of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we invested approximately $0.4 million in back-office software projects, approximately $0.3 million in leasehold improvements and $0.3 million in furniture and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we invested approximately $0.5 million in back-office software projects, approximately $0.1 million in leasehold improvements in various international offices and training centers, and $0.1 million in office equipment.

Since the beginning of 2018, we have acquired an additional $1.3 million in leasehold improvements for the new corporate offices through financing arrangements and an additional $0.9 million in back-office software projects through a capital financing agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our financing activities used cash of $8.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we used $6.8 million to repurchase common stock pursuant to a tender offer, $0.7 million in the repayment of capital lease obligations and $0.7 million in payments of dividends to shareholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used $0.8 million in the repayment of capital lease obligations and $0.7 million in payments of dividends to shareholders, which was partially offset by approximately $0.1 million of cash provided by the exercise of stock options.

General Liquidity and Cash Flows

Short Term Liquidity

We believe our existing liquidity and cash flows from operations are adequate to fund our normal expected future business operations and possible international expansion costs for the next 12 months. As our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations, this will be dependent on our ability to maintain and increase revenue and/or continue to reduce operational expenses. However, if our existing capital resources or cash flows become insufficient to meet current business plans, projections, and existing capital requirements, we may be required to raise additional funds, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

We are engaged in ongoing audits in various tax jurisdictions and other disputes in the normal course of business. It is impossible at this time to predict whether we will incur any liability, or to estimate the ranges of damages, if any, in connection with these matters. Adverse outcomes on these uncertainties may lead to substantial liability or enforcement actions that could adversely affect our cash position. For more information, see Note 3, Income Taxes, and Note 7, Litigation, to our consolidated financial statements.

Long Term Liquidity

We believe our cash flows from operations should be adequate to fund our normal expected future business operations. As our primary source of liquidity is from our cash flows from operations, this will be dependent on our ability to maintain or improve revenue as compared to operational expenses.

However, if our existing capital resources or cash flows become insufficient to meet anticipated business plans and existing capital requirements, we may be required to raise additional funds, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Our future access to the capital markets may be adversely impacted if we fail to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules for the continued listing of our stock. We continuously monitor our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing rules.

⁽¹⁾For purposes of the table, a purchase obligation is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is non-cancelable, enforceable and legally binding on the Company that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

⁽²⁾Excludes approximately $14.3 million of finished product purchase orders that may be canceled or with delivery dates that have changed as of June 30, 2018.

⁽³⁾Represents the tax liability associated with uncertain tax positions, see Note 3, Income Taxes, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽⁴⁾Other obligations are composed of pension obligations related to the Company's international operations (approximately $1.2 million) and lease restoration obligations (approximately $0.4 million).

We have maintained purchase commitments with certain raw material suppliers to purchase minimum quantities and to ensure exclusivity of our raw materials and the proprietary nature of our products. Currently, we have one supply agreement that requires minimum purchase commitments. We also maintain other supply agreements and manufacturing agreements to protect our products, regulate product costs, and help ensure quality control standards. These other agreements do not require us to purchase any set minimums. We have no present commitments or agreements with respect to acquisitions or purchases of any manufacturing facilities; however, management from time to time explores the possible benefits of purchasing a raw material manufacturing facility to help control costs of our raw materials and help ensure quality control standards.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any special-purpose entity arrangements, nor do we have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We use estimates throughout our financial statements, which are influenced by management’s judgment and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on historical trends, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are applicable and reasonable under the circumstances at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Our Audit Committee reviews our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually evaluate and review our policies related to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations that require the application of significant judgment by our management. We also analyze the need for certain estimates, including the need for such items as allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, long-lived fixed assets and capitalization of internal-use software development costs, reserve for uncertain income tax positions and tax valuation allowances, revenue recognition, sales returns, and deferred revenues, accounting for stock-based compensation, and contingencies and litigation. Historically, actual results have not materially deviated from our estimates. However, we caution readers that actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. If circumstances change relating to the various assumptions or conditions used in our estimates, we could experience an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We have identified the following applicable critical accounting policies and estimates as of June 30, 2018.

Table of Contents

Inventory Reserves

Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods, and promotional materials that are stated at the lower of cost (using standard costs that approximate average costs) or market. We record the amounts charged by the vendors as the costs of inventory. Typically, the net realizable value of our inventory is higher than the aggregate cost. Determination of net realizable value can be complex and, therefore, requires a high degree of judgment. In order for management to make the appropriate determination of net realizable value, the following items are considered: inventory turnover statistics, current selling prices, seasonality factors, consumer demand, regulatory changes, competitive pricing, and performance of similar products. If we determine the carrying value of inventory is in excess of estimated net realizable value, we write down the value of inventory to the estimated net realizable value.

We also review inventory for obsolescence in a similar manner and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. Our determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for our products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and general future plans. We monitor actual sales compared to original projections, and if actual sales are less favorable than those originally projected by us, we record an additional inventory reserve or write-down. Historically, our estimates have been close to our actual reported amounts. However, if our estimates regarding inventory obsolescence are inaccurate or consumer demand for our products changes in an unforeseen manner, we may be exposed to additional material losses or gains in excess of our established estimated inventory reserves.

Long Lived Fixed Assets and Capitalization of Software Development Costs

In addition to capitalizing long lived fixed asset costs, we also capitalize costs associated with internally-developed software projects (collectively “fixed assets”) and amortize such costs over the estimated useful lives of such fixed assets. Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. If a fixed asset is sold or otherwise retired or disposed of, the cost of the fixed asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is written off and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in other operating costs in our consolidated statement of operations.

We review our fixed assets for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable, such as plans to dispose of an asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Our impairment review includes a comparison of future projected cash flows generated by the asset, or group of assets, with its associated net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The fair value is determined by calculating the discounted expected future cash flows using an estimated risk-free rate of interest. Any identified impairment losses are recorded in the period in which the impairment occurs. The carrying value of the fixed asset is adjusted to the new carrying value, and any subsequent increases in fair value of the fixed asset are not recorded. In addition, if we determine the estimated remaining useful life of the asset should be reduced from our original estimate, the periodic depreciation expense is adjusted prospectively, based on the new remaining useful life of the fixed asset.

The impairment calculation requires us to apply judgment and estimates concerning future cash flows, strategic plans, useful lives, and discount rates. If actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions, we may be exposed to an additional impairment charge, which could be material to our results of operations. In addition, if accounting standards change, or if fixed assets become obsolete, we may be required to write off any unamortized costs of fixed assets, or if estimated useful lives change, we would be required to accelerate depreciation or amortization periods and recognize additional depreciation expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

Historically, our estimates and assumptions related to the carrying value and the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets have not materially deviated from actual results. As of June 30, 2018, the estimated useful lives and net carrying values of fixed assets were as follows:



	Estimated useful life	Net carrying value at June 30, 2018
Office furniture and equipment	5 to 7 years	$0.7 million
Computer hardware and software	3 to 5 years	2.8 million
Automobiles	3 to 5 years	0.1 million
Leasehold improvements ⁽¹⁾	2 to 10 years	2.1 million
Total		$5.7 million

⁽¹⁾We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful estimated life of the leased asset or the lease term.

Table of Contents

The net carrying costs of fixed assets are exposed to impairment losses if our assumptions and estimates of their carrying values change, there is a change in estimated future cash flow, or there is a change in the estimated useful life of the fixed asset. Based on management’s analysis, no impairment indicators existed for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions and Tax Valuation Allowances

As of June 30, 2018, we recorded $0.2 million in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet related to uncertain income tax positions. As required by FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, we use judgments and make estimates and assumptions related to evaluating the probability of uncertain income tax positions. We base our estimates and assumptions on the potential liability related to an assessment of whether the income tax position will “more likely than not” be sustained in an income tax audit. We are also subject to periodic audits from multiple domestic and foreign tax authorities related to income tax and other forms of taxation. These audits examine our tax positions, timing of income and deductions, and allocation procedures across multiple jurisdictions. Depending on the nature of the tax issue, we could be subject to audit over several years. Therefore, our estimated reserve balances and liability related to uncertain income tax positions may exist for multiple years before the applicable statute of limitations expires or before an issue is resolved by the taxing authority. Additionally, we may be requested to extend the statute of limitations for tax years under audit. It is reasonably possible the tax jurisdiction may request that the statute of limitations be extended, which may cause the classification between current and long-term to change. We believe our tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are based upon reasonable judgment and estimates; however, if actual results materially differ, our effective income tax rate and cash flows could be affected in the period of discovery or resolution. There are ongoing income tax audits in various international jurisdictions that we believe are not material to our financial statements.

We also review the estimates and assumptions used in evaluating the probability of realizing the future benefits of our deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance when we believe that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. If we are unable to realize the expected future benefits of our deferred tax assets, we are required to provide a valuation allowance. We use our past history and experience, overall profitability, future management plans, and current economic information to evaluate the amount of valuation allowance to record. As of June 30, 2018, we maintained a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets arising from our operations of $12.6 million because they did not meet the “more likely than not” criteria as defined by the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, as of June 30, 2018, we had deferred tax assets, after valuation allowance, totaling $5.6 million, which may not be realized if our assumptions and estimates change, which would affect our effective income tax rate and cash flows in the period of discovery or resolution.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02 (ASU 2018-02), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The guidance in ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Commissions

Our revenue is derived from sales of individual products, sales of starter and renewal packs, associate fees and shipping fees. Substantially all of our product and pack sales are to associates and preferred customers at published wholesale prices. We record revenue net of any sales taxes and record a reserve for expected sales returns based on historical experience. We recognize revenue from shipped packs and products upon receipt by the customer. Corporate-sponsored event revenue is recognized when the event is held.

As a result of the 2017 Associate Compensation Plan, which was implemented on July 1, 2017, we also collect associate fees, which associates pay to the Company annually in order to earn commissions, benefits and incentives for that year. Associate fees are recognized evenly over the course of the annual period of the associate’s contract. We collected associate fees within the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The arrangement regarding associate fees has three service elements: (1) providing new associates with the eligibility to earn commissions, benefits and incentives for twelve months, (2) three months of complimentary access to utilize the Success Tracker™ online tool, and (3) three months of complimentary access to utilize the Mannatech+ customized electronic business-building tool. Each of these service elements is provided over time to the customer. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the associate fees were allocated to these three service elements on a relative standalone selling price basis in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition.

We defer certain components of revenue. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, deferred revenue was $7.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively. When participating in our loyalty program, customers earn loyalty points from qualified automatic

Table of Contents

orders that can be applied to future purchases. We defer the dollar equivalent in revenue of these points until the points are applied, forfeited or expired, which includes an estimate of the percentage of the unvested loyalty points that are expected to be forfeited or expired. The deferred revenue associated with the loyalty program at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $5.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Deferred revenue consisted primarily of: (i) sales of packs and products shipped but not received by the customers by the end of the respective period; (ii) revenue from the loyalty program; and (iii) prepaid registration fees from customers planning to attend a future corporate-sponsored event. In total current assets, we defer commissions on (i) the sales of packs and products ordered but not received by the customers by the end of the respective period and (ii) the loyalty program. Deferred commissions were $3.1 million and $3.9 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Product Return Policy

We stand behind our packs and products and believe we offer a reasonable and industry-standard product return policy to all of our customers. We do not resell returned products. Refunds are not processed until proper approval is obtained. All refunds must be processed and returned in the same form of payment that was originally used in the sale. Each country in which we operate has specific product return guidelines. However, we allow our associates and preferred customers to exchange products as long as the products are unopened and in good condition. Our return policies for our retail customers and our associates and preferred customers are as follows:

•

Retail Customer Product Return Policy. This policy allows a retail customer to return any of our products to the original associate who sold the product and receive a full cash refund from the associate for the first 180 days following the product’s purchase if located in the United States and Canada, and for the first 90 days following the product’s purchase in other countries where we sell our products. The associate may then return or exchange the product based on the associate product return policy.

•

Associate and Preferred Customer Product Return Policy. This policy allows the associate or preferred customer to return an order within one year of the purchase date upon terminating his/her account. If an associate or preferred customer returns a product unopened and in good condition, he/she may receive a full refund minus a 10% restocking fee. We may also allow the associate or preferred customer to receive a full satisfaction guarantee refund if they have tried the product and are not satisfied for any reason, excluding promotional materials. This satisfaction guarantee refund applies in the United States and Canada, only for the first 180 days following the product’s purchase, and applies in other countries where we sell our products for the first 90 days following the product’s purchase; however, any commissions earned by an associate will be deducted from the refund. If we discover abuse of the refund policy, we may terminate the associate’s or preferred customer’s account.

Historically, sales returns estimates have not materially deviated from actual sales returns, as the majority of our customers who return merchandise do so within the first 90 days after the original sale. Based upon our return policies and historical experience, we estimate a sales return reserve for expected sales refunds over a rolling six-month period. If actual results differ from our estimated sales returns reserves due to various factors, the amount of revenue recorded each period could be materially affected. Historically, our sales returns have not materially changed through the years and have averaged 1.5% or less of our gross sales.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock options to our employees, board members, and consultants. At the date of grant, we determine the fair value of a stock option award and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, or the vesting period of such stock option award, which is two or three years. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires us to apply judgment and use highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock option life, expected volatility, expected average risk-free interest rates, and expected forfeiture rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our assumptions and estimates used for the estimated fair value of stock options granted were as follows:



	April 2018 Grant			June 2018 Grant
Estimated fair value per share of options granted:	$	7.17		$	8.59
Assumptions:
Annualized dividend yield	2.9		%	2.4		%
Risk-free rate of return	2.5		%	2.8		%
Common stock price volatility	55.6		%	56.4		%
Expected average life of stock options (in years)	4.5			4.5

The assumptions we use are based on our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties related to market conditions that are outside of our control. If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions we use, the stock-based compensation expense reported in our consolidated financial statements may not be representative of the actual economic cost of stock-based compensation. For example, if actual employee forfeitures significantly differ from our estimated forfeitures, we may be required to make an adjustment to our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

If we grant additional stock options in the future, we would be required to recognize additional compensation expense over the vesting period of such stock options in our consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2018, we had 39,572 shares available for grant in the future. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted 184,667 stock options.

Contingencies and Litigation

Each quarter, we evaluate the need to establish a reserve for any legal claims or assessments. We base our evaluation on our best estimates of the potential liability in such matters. The legal reserve includes an estimated amount for any damages and the probability of losing any threatened legal claims or assessments. We consult with our general and outside counsel to determine the legal reserve, which is based upon a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Although we believe that our legal reserve and accruals are based on reasonable judgments and estimates, actual results could differ, which may expose us to material gains or losses in future periods. If actual results differ, if circumstances change, or if we experience an unanticipated adverse outcome of any legal action, including any claim or assessment, we would be required to recognize the estimated amount which could reduce net income, earnings per share, and cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. The standard allows for two transition methods - entities can either apply the new standard (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after that date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net), in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provide additional clarification on certain topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12 follow the same implementation guidelines as ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14. All of these aforementioned ASUs have been codified under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach applied to open contracts at the date of initial application. As the cumulative effect of applying the modified retrospective approach was immaterial, no adjustment was recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The timing of revenue recognition for our various revenue streams was not materially impacted by the adoption of this standard. We believe our business processes, systems, and controls are appropriate to support recognition and disclosure under ASC 606. In addition, the adoption has led to increased footnote disclosures. The overall financial impact of adopting this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations, and we do not expect a significant impact to future revenue trends.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the initial stages of evaluating the future impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The overall financial impact of adopting this standard is unknown at this time.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which amended its standard on comprehensive income to provide an option for an entity to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) directly to retained earnings. The stranded tax effects result from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which were originally recorded in comprehensive income but whose remeasurement is reflected in the income statement. This is a one-time amendment applicable only to the changes resulting from the TCJA. The standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, and may be reflected retroactively to any period in which the impacts of the TCJA are recognized. The standard permits early adoption for any financial statements that have not been released as of the date of the revised standard. We have not yet determined the overall financial impact of adopting this standard.

See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase investments as hedges or for purposes “other than trading” that are likely to expose us to certain types of market risk, including interest rate, commodity price, or equity price risk. Although we have investments, we believe there has been no material change in our exposure to interest rate risk. We have not issued any debt instruments, entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options, or entered into any swap agreements.

We are exposed, however, to other market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the United States dollar. Because the change in value of the United States dollar measured against foreign currency may affect our consolidated financial results, changes in foreign currency exchange rates could positively or negatively affect our results as expressed in United States dollars. For example, when the United States dollar strengthens against foreign currencies in which our products are sold or weakens against foreign currencies in which we may incur costs, our consolidated net sales or related costs and expenses could be adversely affected. We translate our revenues and expenses in foreign markets using an average rate. We believe inflation has not had a material impact on our consolidated operations or profitability.

We maintain policies, procedures, and internal processes in an effort to help monitor any significant market risks and we do not use any financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We assess the anticipated foreign currency working capital requirements of our foreign operations and maintain a portion of our cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies sufficient to satisfy most of these anticipated requirements.

We caution that we cannot predict with any certainty our future exposure to such currency exchange rate fluctuations or the impact, if any, such fluctuations may have on our future business, product pricing, operating expenses, and on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, to combat such market risk, we closely monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations. The regions and countries in which we currently have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk include (i) the Americas (Canada, Colombia and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom); and (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China). The current (spot) rate, average currency exchange rates, and the low and high of such currency exchange rates as compared to the United States dollar, for each of these countries as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
