NutriSystem Inc. (NTRI) is a company that has capitalized on America’s mounting weight problem by offering customers a home-delivery meal program that includes balanced, pre-prepared, portion-controlled (smaller) meals. Over the past three decades, Americans have become increasingly overweight, with over 2/3 of adults classified as overweight in 2003. As public awareness of the obesity epidemic has grown, demand for products from companies like Nutrisystem has increased dramatically.

Fortunately for NTRI, the U.S. is not the only country where the people are concerned about their expanding waist lines. Nutrisytem, which is primarily based in the United States, began expanding its operations into Europe, Australia and Canada in 2007. While entering any new market comes with significant risks, in this case, the company's target markets represent significant revenue opportunities, particularly in the case of a depreciating U.S. dollar.
