over Same Quarter Last Year

San Diego, CA, November 9, 2010, LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB: LFVN), the maker of science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced unaudited first quarter fiscal 2011 financial and operating results.
The Company recorded approximately $6.4 million net revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, which represents a $4.6 million, or 247%, increase over net revenue from the same quarter last fiscal year, and a $2.0 million, or 45%, sequential increase over net revenue from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company also recorded $5.4 million in gross profit, representing an 84% gross profit margin, an approximate 1% improvement over both first and fourth fiscal quarters of 2010.
Total operating expenses for the first fiscal quarter 2011 were approximately $5.1 million, which represents a $525,000, or 12%, increase over operating expenses from the same quarter last fiscal year, and a $1.1 million, or 27%, sequential increase over operating expenses from the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. The increase of $1.1 million over last quarter is due to increased sales commissions attributed directly to increased revenue, and to higher personnel costs, tied to our increased support requirements.
Along with recording our highest quarterly net revenue of $6.4 million, the Company is also reporting record operating income of approximately $345,000 in the first fiscal quarter 2011. This $345,000 operating profit compares to an operating loss of over $3.0 million for the same quarter last year and an operating loss of $290,000 for the most recent fourth fiscal quarter 2010. The improvement of $635,000 in operating income is due to a $1.7 million increase in gross profit offset by a $1.1 million increase in operating expenses.
“We are very pleased with our first quarter results,” said David W. Brown, LifeVantage President and CEO, “They reflect the growth we saw at our recent Elite Academy in San Diego, attended by over 1200 distributors. We’d like to thank all of our distributors, customers and employees responsible for these record results.”
