NEW YORK (February 28, 2024) – WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2023.

“2023 was a pivotal year as we began transforming our business for the future. We returned WeightWatchers to year end subscriber growth – for the first time in 3 years - up 7% year-over-year,” said Sima Sistani, the Company’s CEO. “We are on track to deliver growth in total subscribers in 2024, expecting to end the year with subscribers in the range of 3.8 million to 4.0 million, including between 140 thousand and 160 thousand subscribers to our new WeightWatchers Clinic.”

“WeightWatchers is creating the category of Weight Health, and to do so requires us to go further in the transformation and expand our offerings to deliver the support, services, and treatments that many need to advance their weight loss journeys. We are making intentional choices to prioritize these initiatives that we believe will have the greatest benefit for the long-term health of our business,” continued Sistani.


“We executed against our 2023 objectives with a return to sign up and subscriber growth, record adjusted gross margin, and improved cost structure,” said Heather Stark, the Company’s CFO. “We anticipate returning to year-over-year growth in subscription revenues in the second half of 2024, and we are committed to improving margins and driving operating income growth.”

Full Year Fiscal 2024 Guidance

The Company is providing the following full year fiscal 2024 guidance:

 

 

Revenues are expected to be in the range of $830.0 million to $860.0 million, reflecting a $55 million year-over-year headwind from the strategic decision to wind down the Company’s low-margin consumer products business.

 

Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $100.0 million to $110.0 million. Changes to modernize the Company’s technology organization required the Company to update its capitalized labor rate expectations. Based on these updated expectations, an estimated $9.0 million of expenses that were previously expected to be capitalized will now be reflected on the income statement in 2024. This shift in operating methodology does not impact cash.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Conference Call and Webcast

The live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company’s corporate website, corporate.ww.com, under Events and Presentations. Supplemental investor materials will also be available in the same location prior to the start of the webcast. A replay of the webcast will be available on this site for approximately 90 days.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and today’s scheduled conference call:

To supplement the Company’s consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), operating income (loss) margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 to exclude (a) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”) and (x) charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”), and (b) the impact of the impairment charges for the Company’s goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland reporting units and the impairment charge for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its Northern Ireland unit of account; (ii) the full year of fiscal 2023 to exclude (a) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company’s 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the Company’s 2022 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (y) charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”) or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”), (b) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (as defined below), and (c) the impact of the impairment charges for the Company’s goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland reporting units and the impairment charge for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its Northern Ireland unit of account; (iii) the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia units of account and an impairment charge for the Company’s goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit and (b) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the Company’s 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the Company’s 2022 plan, (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company’s 2021 plan, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company’s 2020 plan; and (iv) the full year of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia units of account and impairment charges for the Company’s goodwill related to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit and its wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc., and (b) the net impact of (w) charges associated with the 2023 plan, (x) charges associated with the 2022 plan, (y) charges associated with the 2021 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the


2020 plan. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as follows: (i) with respect to the adjustments for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges and the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments; (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the full year of fiscal 2023, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges, the impact of acquisition transaction costs, and the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments; and (iii) with respect to the adjustments for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2022, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and the net impact of restructuring charges. The Company also presents in the attachments to this release the non-GAAP financial measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, net restructuring charges, and certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (“Adjusted EBITDAS”); total debt less unamortized deferred financing costs, unamortized debt discount and cash on hand (i.e., net debt); and a net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS ratio. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year EBITDAS outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

WW International, Inc. Announces Upcoming Oprah Winfrey Board Transition

Continued Collaboration to Advocate for and Elevate Conversation on Weight Health

Ms. Winfrey to Donate Financial Interest in WeightWatchers to the National Museum of African American History and Culture

NEW YORK (February 28, 2024) – WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or “the Company”) announced today that Director Oprah Winfrey has decided not to stand for re-election at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of shareholders to be held in May 2024. Ms. Winfrey has served on the Company’s Board of Directors since 2015.

“I look forward to continuing to advise and collaborate with WeightWatchers and CEO Sima Sistani in elevating the conversation around recognizing obesity as a chronic condition, working to reduce stigma, and advocating for health equity,” said Oprah Winfrey.

“Weight Health is a critically important topic and one that needs to be addressed at a broader scale. I plan to participate in a number of public forums and events where I will be a vocal advocate in advancing this conversation,” continued Winfrey. “In addition, I have decided to donate my interest in WeightWatchers to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (“NMAAHC”). I have been a long-time supporter of this worthy organization, and I am proud to continue my support.”

The Board of Directors of WeightWatchers is supportive of Ms. Winfrey’s proposal to donate all of her WW stock to the NMAAHC during the Company’s upcoming trading window in March 2024. Ms. Winfrey is making the donation to support the NMAAHC’s goal to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans and to eliminate any perceived conflict of interest around her taking weight loss medications. In addition, Ms. Winfrey intends to donate the proceeds from any future exercises of her WW stock options to NMAAHC.

“Oprah has been an inspiring presence and passionate advocate for our members, providing critical insights and counsel that has helped shape WeightWatchers over these last 8 years. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank her for her energy, dedication, and for continuing to play a role as collaborator and thought partner going forward. What I know for sure, we will dearly miss her presence on the Board,” said Thilo Semmelbauer, Chairman of the Board.

In May, Oprah Winfrey and WeightWatchers will be hosting an event on Weight Health. The event will feature industry experts coming together to un-shame our relationship with weight.
