LifeVantage recorded net revenue of approximately $7.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, which represents an increase of approximately $1.1 million or 17% over net revenue of $6.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. This is also an approximate $5.0 million or 204% increase in net revenue over the $2.5 million net revenue reported for the same quarter last year.

Along with recording its highest quarterly net revenue of approximately $7.5 million, the Company is also reporting record operating income of approximately $609,000 in the second fiscal quarter 2011.  This $609,000 operating income represents a $264,000, or an approximate 77%, increase over operating income of $345,000 for the first fiscal quarter 2011 and a $3.3 million increase over operating loss of $2.7 million for the same quarter last year.  The increase of $264,000 in operating income is due to the revenue growth paired with modest spending in hiring and other operating expenses.

Total operating expenses for the second fiscal quarter 2011 were approximately $5.7 million, which represents a $581,000, or 11% sequential increase over operating expenses of $5.1 million from the first fiscal quarter of 2011, and a 20% increase over operating expenses of $4.7 million from the same quarter last fiscal year. The increase of $581,000 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.

"We are excited to announce that we exceeded our second quarter guidance and we are reporting our highest quarterly net revenue and operating profit to date," stated David W. Brown, President & Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage.  

"We are very pleased to be exceeding our previous guidance of a 10% improvement in net revenue while continuing to generate operating income," added Carrie E. McQueen, Chief Financial Officer of LifeVantage. "We believe it is important to note that we have achieved this growth while maintaining conservative spending in operations. We are proud to report our 8th consecutive quarter of net revenue growth, our 6th consecutive quarter of improvement in operating income or loss, and our 2nd consecutive quarter of operating income. We remain focused on continued revenue growth and maintaining operating profits in future quarters."
