NU SKIN ENTERPRISES REPORTS
FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS

PROVO, Utah — Feb. 6, 2008 — Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS) today reported fourth-quarter revenue of $306.1 million, a 6 percent improvement over the prior-year period and ahead of company guidance. Fourth-quarter net income and earnings per share were $5.9 million and $0.09, compared to $15.9 million and $0.23 during the same quarter of 2006. Fourth-quarter earnings per share were negatively impacted by planned restructuring charges of $17.0 million, or $0.17 per share. Revenue for the quarter was positively impacted 3 percent by foreign currency fluctuations.

“Concluding 2007 with good momentum sets the stage for Nu Skin Enterprises to generate record results in 2008,” said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer. “During the fourth quarter, we continued to see promising growth trends in South Korea, the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and South East Asia. In China, we recently received approval to operate a direct selling model in all of the districts of Beijing and Shanghai, helping establish a good foundation for future growth in this market. In Japan, revenue met our expectations as the sales force responded positively to our sales promotions and marketing initiatives, which included the restaging of our Galvanic Spa System product.

“During the quarter, we also successfully executed phase two of our restructuring plan, including significant simplification of our operating infrastructure in China. These efforts are targeted to help us achieve our operating margin objective of 10.5 percent for 2008,” said Hunt.

Regional Results

North Asia. Fourth-quarter revenue in North Asia was $157.3 million, compared to $152.7 million for the same period in 2006. Regional results were positively affected approximately 4 percent by foreign currency fluctuations. Local-currency revenue in Japan was down 5 percent year-over-year, while South Korea’s continued momentum drove a local currency revenue gain of 18 percent. The number of executive distributors was down 3 percent while the number of active distributors improved 1 percent.

Greater China. Revenue in Greater China was $52.0 million for the fourth quarter, representing a 1 percent increase compared to prior-year results. Hong Kong generated local currency revenue growth of 12 percent over the prior-year period, while Taiwan was down slightly and Mainland China was down 10 percent. The executive distributor count in the region was down 2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, while the number of active distributors decreased 10 percent.

Americas. Revenue in the Americas was $48.0 million, a 9 percent increase over the prior-year period. In the United States, revenue improved 8 percent. Executive and active distributor counts in North America improved 11 percent and 5 percent, respectively, over prior-year results.

South Asia/Pacific. Revenue in South Asia/Pacific was $27.3 million compared to $23.5 million in the prior year. This 16 percent improvement was driven by strong results in most markets and the positive impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The region’s fourth-quarter executive count improved 3 percent while active distributors decreased 11 percent, compared to the same period in 2006.

Europe. Revenue from Europe was $21.6 million, a 22 percent improvement over the prior-year period. The region’s results benefited from strong growth in Eastern Europe and were positively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. Executive and active distributor counts in the region increased 22 and 16 percent, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.

Operational Performance

The company’s gross margin was 81.9 percent, a 30 basis point decrease over the prior-year period. Selling expenses, as a percent of revenue, were 42.9 percent, slightly lower than the fourth quarter of 2006. General and administrative expenses were $89.3 million, or 29.2 percent of sales, compared to $88.3 million, or 30.5 percent in the prior year period.

The company’s income tax rate for the quarter was 44 percent compared to a historical average of 37 percent. The increase in the fourth quarter tax rate is related to the timing of tax benefits associated with net operating losses in China. The company estimates that its 2008 tax rate will be comparable to its historical average.

In addition, in connection with the reconciliation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, the company has identified accounting adjustments related to prior periods. Although the company is still finalizing its review of these items, it expects the potential income statement adjustment will be less than $2.5 million with respect to any individual year during the period from 2005 through 2007. Furthermore, the net cumulative effect over the past 5 years is expected to be less than $1 million. The company is currently evaluating whether potential adjustments should be made in 2007 or in prior periods.

The company’s cash and short-term investment position at the end of the quarter was $92.6 million and the company paid $6.8 million in dividends during the period. In November, the company purchased $25 million worth of outstanding stock, or 1.48 million shares, using an accelerated stock purchase program. Earnings per share were positively impacted approximately 3 percent by stock repurchases during the past year.

Outlook

“The top-line improvements we are seeing globally, coupled with the aggressive steps we are taking to achieve our operating margin target, give us confidence that 2008 will be a great year,” said Hunt. “We expect to improve earnings per share by 35 to 45 percent through increased revenue and improved operating efficiency. Overall, I am very encouraged with the direction of the business,” concluded Hunt.

We reiterate our revenue guidance for 2008 of $1.18 to $1.20 billion with a projected yen of 114 to the dollar and earnings per share in the $1.15 to $1.22 range.”
