Business Wire

Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) today reported first-quarter net sales
of $508.1 million, an increase of 11.5 percent compared to the same
period of 2006. This record performance was largely attributable to
continued growth in several of the company’s largest markets,
including its two largest markets, the U.S. and Mexico, which reported
net sales growth of 22.5 percent and 12.6 percent, respectively,
versus the first quarter of 2006. The company’s chief executive
officer, Michael O. Johnson, said, "We are pleased to report our 13th
consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and
another record quarter for revenue and earnings. This performance was
driven by the strength of our independent distributors, the success of
their daily methods of operation, our products and our employees."

   During the first quarter 2007, a record 44,226 distributors
qualified as new supervisors, an increase of 6.3 percent versus the
first quarter of 2006. Total supervisors of 313,962 increased 21.1
percent versus first quarter 2006 and the company’s President’s Team
increased 14.1 percent to 1,003 members. Additionally, based on its
January 2007 re-qualification results, the company retained 42.5
percent of its distributor supervisors, an increase of 100 basis
points from 2006.

   Financial Performance

   For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the company reported net
income of $41.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $38.7
million, or $0.53 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2006. The
increase in net income was primarily attributable to strong net sales
growth and a lower effective tax rate during the period, partially
offset by $1.0 million in after-tax, employee-related costs incurred
during the quarter relating to the company’s realignment for growth
initiative and a $3.6 million increase in tax reserves. Excluding the
impact of these realignment costs and other items(1), first quarter
2007 net income increased 30.7 percent to $45.7 million, or $0.61 per
diluted share, compared to $0.48 per diluted share in the first
quarter of 2006.

   The company invested $9.1 million in capital expenditures during
the first quarter, primarily related to enhancements to its management
information systems and additional infrastructure investments to
improve distributor service levels. Additionally, the company pre-paid
$29.5 million of its senior credit facility during the quarter.

   First Quarter 2007 Business Highlights

   Consistent with its distributor strategy, the company continued to
support the development and training of its distributors during the
first quarter, by hosting over 55,000 distributors globally at more
than 40 major local and regional events. Highlights include the
worldwide President’s Summit in the U.S.; regional Extravaganzas in
Colombia and northeast Brazil; a Supervisor Spectacular and Leadership
meeting in Japan and Korea; a Greater China Spectacular in Hong Kong
along with a three-city doctor tour and a three-city CEO tour in
China. Additionally, the company opened El Salvador as its 64th
country in February.

   The company also continued to support distributor business methods
by expanding its distribution reach in key markets, enhancing product
packaging and expanding the global distribution of its leading
products. "We continue to focus our company resources on increasing
product availability in Mexico while we strengthen our product line
and services to better support our distributors’ daily methods of
operations," said Greg Probert, the company’s president and chief
operating officer.

   In March, the company received notification from China’s Ministry
of Commerce that it had received a direct-selling license that permits
the company to conduct a direct-selling business in Suzhou and Nanjing
in the Jiangsu province. Over six million people live in Suzhou, the
fifth largest Chinese city based upon GDP and approximately eight
million people live in Nanjing, which is the second largest commercial
center in East China after Shanghai.

   Additionally, the company announced a five-year, multimillion
dollar expansion of its agreement with AEG making Herbalife the
presenting sponsor of the Los Angeles Galaxy. The agreement gives
Herbalife on-jersey exposure for its brand beginning with the 2007
season.

   Regional Performance

   EMEA reported net sales of $143.2 million in the first quarter, up
1.2 percent versus the same period of 2006. However, excluding
currency fluctuations, net sales decreased 5.5 percent. The
performance was primarily attributable to growth in several of the
region’s top markets, including Portugal, up 37.3 percent, Spain, up
18.1 percent, France, up 8.4 percent, and Italy, up 6.9 percent, in
each case compared to the first quarter of 2006. These gains were
partially offset by declines in other core markets including Germany
and the Netherlands, which were down 21.1 percent and 19.5 percent,
respectively, versus the comparable period of 2006. Total supervisors
in the region, as of March 31, 2007, decreased 3.0 percent versus the
same period in 2006.

up 28.3 percent versus the same period of 2006. Excluding currency

and a 94.1% increase in Colombia compared to the first quarter of 2006
coupled with the recent opening of Peru. Total supervisors in the
region, as of March 31, 2007, increased 48.9 percent versus the same
period in 2006.

   Greater China reported net sales of $40.7 million in the first
quarter, up 42.3 percent versus the same period of 2006. Excluding
currency fluctuations, net sales increased 42.7 percent. The increase
was primarily attributable to incremental sales in China up 173.4
percent, and 28.5 percent growth in Taiwan. Total supervisors in the
region, as of March 31, 2007, increased 33.1 percent versus the same
period in 2006.

quarter, down 2.5 percent versus the same period of 2006. Excluding
currency fluctuations, net sales decreased 3.0 percent. The
performance reflects a 12.8 percent decline in Japan, mostly offset by
a 14.6 percent increase in South Korea. Total supervisors in the
region, as of March 31, 2007, decreased 1.3 percent versus the same
period in 2006.
