Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 30, 2005 (the November Form 8-K) in which the Company furnished information under Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure related to the issuance of a press release and the hosting of the annual Investor Day Presentation. Among other things, the press release announced plans for an organizational restructuring. On December 1, 2005 the Company filed an amendment to the November Form 8-K (the December Form 8-K) in order to report the restructuring plans under Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The Company is now filing an additional amendment in order to update and provide further detail on the restructuring plans under Item 2.05, and add disclosure under Item 2.06.
This amendment does not modify or update the information previously provided under Item 7.01 of the November Form 8-K.
In the December Form 8-K the Company indicated that it expected to incur a total cost of $15 to $25 million on a pre-tax basis over several quarters to implement its planned restructuring initiatives. The Company indicated that the analysis was preliminary and subject to change, and that it was not at that time able in good faith to make a determination of the estimated amount or range of amounts to be incurred for each major type of cost nor the charges and future cash expenditures associated therewith, as required by Item 2.05 of Form 8-K. The Company undertook to announce further details as initiatives are finalized.
On February 7, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors reviewed and approved estimates of the restructuring charges and the amounts of each major type of cost associated with the planned restructuring, including (i) costs related to employee severance payments, (ii) costs related to the write-down of the book-value of the first-generation BioPhotonic Scanner units due to the Companys planned introduction of and transition to the second-generation model of the BioPhotonic Scanner, and (iii) expenses related to various other streamlining initiatives. As a result, the Company now expects to incur a total cost of $30 to $40 million on a pre-tax basis, primarily in the first quarter of 2006, to implement these initiatives. The Company estimates that it will record charges (before taxes) in its first quarter 2006 results as follows:
Employee severance costs: | $10 to $15 million (will result in future cash expenditures) | ||
Scanner write-down: | $15 to $20 million (non-cash charge) | ||
Other streamlining initiatives: | $5 million (some non-cash and some future cash expenditures) | ||
Total: | $30 to $40 million |
Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
On February 7, 2006, management met with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and discussed the Company's planned restructuring initiatives and the planned timing of the Company's introduction of and transition to the second-generation model of the BioPhotonic Scanner, resulting in the need to write down the book-value of the first-generation units. Based on its analysis and its discussions with the Audit Committee, management determined that a write-down of the book-value is required and has preliminarily estimated this write-down to be in the range of $15 to $20 million. This write-down is non-cash in nature and will be recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
