I was sharing the document with a couple people, but fantastic analyst Connor Davidson pointed out on Twitter today, Herbalife has misstated another slew of numbers relevant to how the business is doing. This time it’s from the company’s updated 2015 Statement of Average Gross compensation.

All of the percentages are wrong.
They list vs. The calculation (# of ppl/group total*100)
0.0% vs. 0.3%
0.0% vs. 0.6%
2.4% vs 0.89%
2.4% vs 1.72%
4.5% vs 3.03%
6.1% vs 3.9%
28.7% vs 16.9%
45.9% vs 62.3%
10% vs 10.56%
How many data misstatements must this company make before regulators do something?
