NBTY Reports Second Quarter Results
Date:4/23/2009

nditions continued to negatively impact results for the last two quarters. The Company believes operations are stabilizing.

OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL SECOND QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2009

Net sales for the Wholesale/US Nutrition division, which markets various brands including Nature's Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, Rexall, Ester-C and Leiner products, increased $90 million, or 35%, to $350 million. Since acquiring Leiner, the Company has eliminated in excess of $30 million in annualized non-manufacturing costs.

Gross profit for the Wholesale operation decreased to 27% from 41% for the prior like quarter. Operating results were adversely affected by higher raw material costs which were not offset by higher prices charged to wholesale customers. While the gross profit percentage decreased during this period, the Company continued to increase its market share. The Nielsen Company tracks industry-wide sales of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements in the food, drug and mass market sectors. For the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2009, Nielsen reported an increase in the entire category of 8%. According to Nielsen, for that same period, the Company's Wholesale brands reported a 10% increase.

The Wholesale/US Nutrition division utilizes valuable consumer preference sales data generated by the Company's Vitamin World retail stores and Puritan's Pride Direct Response/E-Commerce operations to empower its wholesale customers with this latest data. The Vitamin World stores are used as a laboratory for new ideas and are an effective tool in determining and monitoring consumer preferences. This information, as well as scanned sales data from the Vitamin World stores, is shared on a real time basis with our wholesale customers to give them a competitive advantage.
