" We are celebrating our position
of strength and reaffirming our
commitment to growth in the
dynamic wellness industry."

Samuel L. Caster
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholders,

This year,we are celebrating our position of strength and reaffirming our commitment to growth in the
dynamic wellness industry.I am truly gratified by our accomplishments in 2005,which include reporting 32%
growth in sales and 45% growth in earnings per share.Our sales reached $389 million,driven in part by a 33%
increase in the number of independent Associates and Members purchasing and using our products.I am proud of
the recognition we’ve received.In 2005,Business Week ranked Mannatech #6 on its annual list of Hot Growth
Companies among 2,200 small to mid-cap companies.Also,the Dallas Business Journal reported that Mannatech
jumped from 100th to 79th largest among public companies in the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex area and ranked
29th in sales growth.I am pleased that we continued to strengthen our global sales presence by opening
operations in Taiwan in June of 2005 and expanding our market into Denmark and Germany.Finally,as our annual
sales approach the half billion dollar mark and our current independent Associates and Members number more
than 490,000,I am convinced that our networking model of distribution is the most effective way to penetrate the
emerging wellness industry with proprietary and advanced technologies.

At the same time that we are delivering record revenues and solid earnings growth,I am confident that we are

also appropriately investing in our future by developing fully integrated global information technology systems,
which will service the diversified needs of our future business.I am also confident that we have strengthened and
protected our intellectual rights by expanding the number of patents that we hold to 20.Our customer base
continues to expand,contributing to a strengthened balance sheet of $123 million in assets,minimal debt,and a
cash position of $73 million,up 20% from 2004.

We have also strengthened both our Board of Directors and our core executive team.We successfully recruited

and elected Larry A.Jobe to our Board of Directors.Larry brings a strong background in business finance,
operations and management.We made two new additions to our management team to address our key growth
initiatives of product innovation and international expansion.Dr.Rob Sinnott joined us as our Chief Science Officer,
bringing over twelve years of biotechnology experience and a fresh perspective on innovative wellness
technologies.John Price,our President of International Operations,brings an impressive international background
to his job of spearheading new market entries and developing existing markets.

With a strong executive team in place,I firmly believe that we can stay the course in our core business while
continuing to execute our strategic growth plan to develop international markets and expand proprietary product
offerings.In the coming months,we will launch a new line of preservative-free  skin care products in Japan,
continuing our commitment to offer our customers the most advanced wellness technologies.

We are committed to return value to our shareholders and encourage long-term investment in Mannatech’s
common stock through continued higher earnings,dividends,and continuation of share repurchases. Our intent is
to reward our investors who view Mannatech as we do – as a strong growth company with exceptional future
potential.

As proud as I am with our overall history and recent accomplishments,I am even more gratified with the

corporate culture that we have worked hard to establish.We believe that we are a Company of hope,of compassion
and of generosity,and have evolved into a cutting edge wellness solution provider. I make a promise to you,our
independent Associates,our customers,and our shareholders,that we will strive to deliver rock-solid results as we
remain committed to our effective model of distribution and to the development of products that will meet the
growing needs of a global wellness market.

Sincerely,

Samuel L.Caster,
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

Solid financial strength and a
solid management team are two of our greatest 

strengths. We have reported for 2005 yet another year of exceptional sales and earnings growth.Our sales for the
year grew by $94 million and exceeded $389 million,for an increase of 32% as compared to 2004.Even more
impressively,net income reached more than $28 million and grew year-over-year in excess of 47%.Earnings per
share (diluted) of $1.03 represented an increase of 45%. Our balance sheet demonstrates a solid financial
foundation,including liquidity in cash and investments of $73 million,with no long-term debt.We reported
retained earnings of $70 million,and total assets of $123 million.The strength of our balance sheet gives the
Company exceptional flexibility,as shown by the payment of quarterly dividends and funding of the share
repurchase program during 2005,along with continued investment in our future growth through the GlobalView
Oracle/JDE Enterprise One integrated computer system installation project.We also funded the opening of
operations in Taiwan in June 2005 and initiated shipments of some of our key products to Denmark later in the
year.

Our customer base of independent Associates and Members purchasing products has increased by 33% to
490,000 as of December 31,2005 as compared to 369,000 independent Associates and Members a year earlier.
This growing statistic is quite important,as approximately 74% of our regular monthly product sales are
automatic,standing reorders placed by our independent Associates and Members. These automatic repeating
orders represent a continuously growing group of consumers who are committed to wellness and to Mannatech
products.

In 2005,we also paid dividends of $0.28 per share thus returning over 27% of net earnings to our shareholders.

Inclusion of the $7 million used last year in our market stock repurchase program increased shareholders returns
for 2005 to more than 50% of net earnings.In recognition of successful business trends,the Board of Directors
increased quarterly dividends 14% to $0.08 per share.

Our focus on cost containment enhanced our results in 2005.Our gross profit margin improved by $42 million

and gained 100 basis points as compared to 2004,or as a percentage of net sales,one full percentage point.We
primarily attribute the increase in gross profit to realizing efficiencies in our supply-chain.Our operating costs also
improved by 100 basis points.This improvement relative to sales was the result of continued careful management
of overhead costs and specific project expenses,which are challenging in a rapid growth environment such as ours.

In the future,we will continue to focus financial and management resources on building our existing countries

while also expanding into new markets.We will drive our core business by broadening our consumer-focused
initiatives in glyconutritionals as well as skin care,and we will prepare for new global expansion with our proven
business model.

independent Associates."

Our Mannatech independent
Associates make up a
tremendously committed
business team, which is changing the face of network-marketing.

For over 12 years our independent Associates have helped to shape progress in the networking industry.Since
1994,we have worked hand-in-hand with our independent Associates to help ensure that our product
development,training methods,and information technology standards are the finest available.Through these
efforts we have developed new,inspiring promotional and educational materials to assist the endeavors of our
independent Associates in bringing glyconutritionals to the world.

The number of independent Associates and Members purchasing Mannatech products has strengthened and

grown to more than 490,000 around the world.The unceasing activities of our independent Associate base have
allowed us to record enviable growth trends over the last several years.Our increases in sales volume and
improvements in profitability and earnings over the past several years are a testament to the value of close
teamwork between the independent field Associates and the Company.The commitment of our independent
Associates to the growth of Mannatech has been,and continues to be,exceptional.Our reciprocal dedication to the
network-marketing business model has allowed the news about glyconutritionals to spread around the world.

We believe we can continue to energize our independent Associates around the globe by opening up new
avenues for their growth. Our global expansion plan has targeted new markets in Europe,Latin America,and Asia
that will significantly extend our reach to new customers in the coming years.Our Mannatech name is already
synonymous with the science of glyconutritionals,and we have renewed our commitment to the development of
new quality-driven products that continue to focus on optimal heath.Our complementary products,such as the
expanded skin care line in Japan,will appeal to a broad,new spectrum of consumers.We believe that these
carefully crafted plans form a powerful global business opportunity,which will increase our competitive strength
and growth potential,as well as strengthen the potential opportunity for our valued independent Associates and
health-conscious consumers.

In recent years the Internet has dramatically impacted many industries,including the recent surge in direct
marketing.The web has strengthened our business model by enhancing our ability to attract new consumers and
retain existing independent Associates.Our investment in cutting-edge internet technology has made it possible
for our independent Associates to access product and business information instantly,use interactive training tools,
and also simplify the ordering process. Over the past three years,our product and pack sales derived from Internet
orders have grown to exceed 70% of our total volume.

Our ultimate goal is to provide the support necessary to help  facilitate the success of our independent
Associates succeed,and that goal forms the heart of everything we do.Our relationship is reciprocal as our
independent Associates place their trust in our Company,in our products,and in our corporate mission; and we are
committed to providing meaningful opportunity and state-of-the-art wellness products and support programs.
We owe them our best in everything that we do.As our independent Associates continue to realize their goals and
aspirations,our shareholders likewise will also benefit and we will all build on our strength as a team and on our
heritage as pioneers in wellness science and technology.

Over the last decade,we have
achieved and maintained a
leadership positionin the wellness industry by developing

glyconutritional products that help achieve optimal health and wellness.“Glyco”is derived from the Greek word for
“sugar”or “sweet,”and glyconutritionals are dietary supplements that contain natural,nutritious plant sugars,
referred to as glyconutrients.Our product philosophy is to take a natural approach by developing products that
supply certain sugars to help support normal cellular structure and function,leading in turn to better health and
wellness.Our signature platform product,Ambrotose® complex,is designed to help effectively facilitate cell-to-cell
communication to support the body’s immune system.We believe that most people eat more than enough table
sugar (sucrose) and high-fructose corn syrup but do not consume a sufficient amount of plant saccharides,which
we believe cells need to sustain optimal health.Each of our products is designed to deliver certain benefits on a
cellular level and target specific areas of health.When taken together,our products can complement each other
and intensify the overall positive wellness benefits.Our outstanding products include seven general categories,
which are as follows:

General Overall   a variety of nutritional supplements that aid in optimizing overall health 
Optimal Health and wellness.

Wellness Management  products that deliver specific nutrients to help keep select body systems 

healthy.

Lifestyle Management   products especially designed to help maintain health in a stressful world.

Growth Essentials  formulated for growing young people,these products supply vitamins,

minerals,glyconutrients,and phytonutrients.

Performance Nutrition   products that help improve endurance,help muscles recover quickly from 
exercise, and satisfy thirst and hunger nutritiously.

Skincare Solutions   products to nourish,support and protect the skin.

Weight Management   unique products that,along with a healthy lifestyle,can help achieve 

and  maintain a lean and healthy body.

Our goal with each and every product is to consistently meet or exceed customer product expectations
without compromising our quality standards.Our quality system is based on current Good Manufacturing
Practices (“GMPs”) established by the United States Food and Drug Administration for foods.We continuously
enhance our quality system and have incorporated the unique requirements of dietary supplement GMPs for foods
into our quality assurance program.Our quality assurance process is driven by a team of biologists,chemists,and
technicians,thoroughly versed in current GMPs and focused on the highest quality achievable.

Our research and development team of experts supporting Dr.Sinnott strives for innovation and excellence in
new products while continuously searching for opportunities to refine and upgrade existing products. In 2006,we
are broadening our horizons by refining our Advanced Ambrotose™ product to include a more balanced
glyconutritional profile,and introducing FiberSlim™,which contains high-viscosity glucomannan and is a water-
soluble fiber product designed to curb the appetite and thereby help to control weight.We also plan to introduce
two new,improved great-tasting Manna BarsTM containing Omega-3 fatty acids,as well as a line of new
preservative-free skin care products in Japan.

expanded our international presence,
broadened our product base,bolstered
our management team,and reinforced
our operational platforms."

Our global vision is to continue
to expand our international
presence to reach new customers in new geographies.We now sell our products in 5 of the

10 largest network-marketing markets in the world.Although the United States remains our single largest market
and accounts for roughly two-thirds of our total sales,we believe that our biggest near-term growth opportunity
lies in international expansion.Due to our proven business model,our entry into new markets is efficient owing to
modest investments in both capital and human resources.In addition,our existing international base benefits by
replicating our domestic strategy and successes.For example,the registration and introduction of Ambrotose AO®
in our existing foreign markets during 2005 helped to fuel an increase in our total sales of $36 million.

For the past several years,we have focused on an important company-wide project to implement GlobalView

Oracle/JDE Enterprise One,our global integrated real time enterprise system,which will allow our business
processes to become integrated and immediate,allowing for increased performance and productivity.This fully-
integrated system provides a complete suite of business applications including financial,personnel,order
processing,customer relationship management,and distribution modules. This new system was needed to
support our global expansion and future business plans.As the system configuration and implementation project
comes to a close during 2006,we are focusing on registering additional products in existing markets.In March
2006,we submitted applications to German authorities for some of our key core products.As with Denmark,the
German market will be serviced by our existing operation in the United Kingdom.

In 2007,we expect our fully-integrated software system project will be successfully implemented,so we will

then be ready to implement our international expansion efforts of opening operations in new countries in the
European,Latin American,and Asian sectors.

Our international team is headed by John Price,President of International Operations,and strongly supported

by Ron Norman,Vice President of International Finance.Over the past years,Mannatech’s leadership has
developed sound expertise in transplanting our glyconutritional business into new markets and installing the
necessary local management talent to successfully guide the growth of our business.Our international team has
helped us expand into Australia,the United Kingdom,Japan,the Republic of Korea,New Zealand,Taiwan,
Denmark,and Germany.With this strong history,we have successfully demonstrated our ability to add to our
growing portfolio of successful new market entries.

We believe that we are still in the early growth stage of our global business.Thus,we believe international
expansion promises a tremendous opportunity for our sustained future expansion.We pledge to continue the
execution of our successful strategy to make available our core products in all our operating countries.We also
pledge to develop new high-quality glyconutritional products to be offered to consumers by highly-motivated
independent Associates,which will bring our global vision to our Mannatech customers and shareholders around
the world.
