Mannatech Declares Fourth Quarter 2018 Dividend

Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock, payable on Friday, March 29, 2019, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Friday, March 22, 2019. The dividend reflects a commitment to rewarding shareholders and encouraging long-term investment in Mannatech’s common stock.

Alfredo "Al” Bala, President and CEO of Mannatech, said, "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act gave us more latitude in our treasury operations. During the second quarter of 2018, we brought cash that had been invested overseas to the U.S. at a lower tax rate because of this tax reform. This allowed us to take some actions to deliver value to the shareholder. First we invested $7.5 million to purchase our own stock, and second, our second quarter and third quarter dividend were increased to $0.50 per share. Now we are returning our dividend to the previous rate of $0.125 per share.”
