SCHIFF NUTRITION INTERNATIONAL, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2007

FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS AND DECLARES SPECIAL

CASH DIVIDEND OF $1.50 PER SHARE

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 19, 2007: Schiff Nutrition International, Inc., (NYSE: WNI), today announced results for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and year ended May 31, 2007.  The company also announced plans to return $1.50 per share to shareholders through a special cash dividend payable on August 13, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2007.

Financial Results

Schiff Nutrition’s net sales were $43.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2007, compared to $45.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2006.  For the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter, Schiff Nutrition reported net income of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.  The company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter was 47.5 percent, compared to less than one percent for the prior year quarter.

For fiscal 2007, Schiff Nutrition’s net sales were $172.7 million, compared to fiscal 2006 net sales of $178.4 million.  For fiscal 2007, Schiff Nutrition reported net income of $12.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for fiscal 2006.  Fiscal 2006 financial results were favorably impacted by reimbursement of approximately $2.7 million in import related costs, recognition of $1.6 million in foreign currency gain related to liquidation of certain foreign entities subsequent to the Weider and Haleko business divestitures, and an approximate overall 13 percent effective tax rate.

Bruce Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continued to experience intense competitive conditions in the fourth quarter, which contributed to a modest decline in both branded and private label net sales, versus the year ago quarter.  At the same time, we were encouraged by the improvement in both our gross and operating margins.  We remain confident in the long-term prospects for our Schiff® branded business, and plan to continue to invest in the Schiff business, particularly our flagship Move Free® joint care brand.”

Special Dividend

Schiff Nutrition’s Board of Directors approved a $1.50 per share special cash dividend, payable on August 13, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2007.  Schiff’s Class A common stock will begin trading on an ex-dividend basis on August 14, 2007, the day after the payment date, in accordance with NYSE rules.  Shareholders who sell their shares on or before the August 13, 2007 payment date will also be selling their right to receive the $1.50 per share cash dividend.  Shareholders are advised to contact their financial advisor before selling their shares.

Wood commented, “We are pleased to make this special distribution to our shareholders.  The company has continued to generate positive cash flows from operations and as of May 31, 2007 has available approximately $80.3 million in cash and short-term investments.  The dividend payment also reflects our confidence the company will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations during fiscal 2008 while highlighting our commitment to our shareholders.  We believe our cash position after the dividend payment provides us with the financial flexibility to continue investing in our business and funding growth initiatives.”

In connection with the declaration of the special dividend, the Board of Directors approved certain dividend equivalent rights, allowing holders of other Schiff equity awards, including stock options and restricted stock units, to receive dividend equivalents in the form of cash on each share underlying the stock options and restricted stock units.  In aggregate, at July 31, 2007, the record date, the company expects approximately 29.9 million potential common shares to be outstanding, including approximately 26.6 million shares of outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, approximately 1.8 million shares of Class A common stock underlying outstanding stock options and approximately 1.5 million shares of Class A common stock underlying outstanding restricted stock units.  The aggregate amount of the special dividend is approximately $44.9 million, presuming 100 percent vesting of shares underlying equity awards.  To the extent outstanding stock options and restricted stock units are unvested at July 31, 2007, the $1.50 per share dividend will not be distributed until after such equity awards become vested.

In connection with the dividend equivalents paid or payable on stock options and certain restricted stock units, the company expects to recognize a compensation charge during its fiscal year 2008.  The pre-tax charge may amount to approximately $5.0 million, with approximately $3.0 million recognized during the fiscal first quarter.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV in early 2008 to notify them of the division, if any, between the dividend and return of capital portions of the special dividend.  The determination of these amounts, requiring a comprehensive review and analysis of the company’s history, is ongoing.  Shareholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax and financial advisors regarding the implications of the special dividend.
