NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 ended June 30, 2025 in this Earnings Press Release and a Shareholder Letter posted on the Company’s Corporate Website.

“The need for effective and sustainable support in weight health has never been more important, and no company is better positioned to meet that need than WeightWatchers,” said Tara Comonte, CEO of WeightWatchers. “This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Company, one that’s grounded in stronger financial footing and a clear sense of opportunity. With greater flexibility to invest, we’re accelerating innovation across our platform to meet the evolving needs of our members. There’s work to do, and it will take time, but we’re confident in the strength of our approach. Our integrated model, spanning clinical care, behavioral support, and community, puts us in a powerful position to reinforce our leadership in long-term weight health.”

“We completed our reorganization swiftly, positioning the Company to move forward with greater financial flexibility," said Felicia DellaFortuna, CFO of WeightWatchers. “While we continue to navigate some volatility, our immediate priority is stabilizing the business. With a strengthened capital structure, we are better positioned to invest in growth, support innovation, and scale efficiently, while maintaining the financial discipline needed to drive long-term profitability.”

Second Quarter Overview

• While Combined Revenues¹ declined 6% year-over-year, Monthly Subscription Revenues Per Average Subscriber (ARPU)¹ increased for the third consecutive quarter due to increased Clinical mix while Gross Margin also remained strong.

• Combined Revenues¹ decline reflects ongoing headwinds in the Behavioral business, partially offset by 55% growth in Clinical, primarily driven by compounded semaglutide subscriptions. This year's fiscal quarter also benefited from foreign exchange movements and two additional reporting days.

• From May 22nd, the Clinical business began transitioning subscribers from compounded semaglutide to FDA-approved medications, in line with current FDA guidance, despite others continuing to offer compounded GLP-1s under the guise of a personalization exemption.

• Combined End of Period Subscribers¹ declined 17% year-over-year, reflecting continued recruitment challenges in Behavioral, further impacted by financial reorganization headlines.

• Net Income Margin was impacted by Reorganization items in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA Margin² remained strong, supported by structural cost discipline and reduced marketing investment during the financial reorganization period.
  

Full Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance
The Company is providing the following full year fiscal 2025 guidance:

• Total Combined Revenues: $685 million - $700 million

• Adjusted EBITDA²: $140 million - $150 million

Second Quarter Conference Call and Webcast
The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss results. The webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company’s corporate website, corporate.ww.com, under Events and Presentations. A replay of the webcast will be available on this site for at least 90 days.

¹Fresh Start Accounting and Predecessor and Successor Periods
In connection with the Company’s emergence from its financial reorganization process on June 24, 2025, the Company’s second quarter ended June 30, 2025 includes a "Predecessor" period from March 30, 2025 to June 24, 2025, and a “Successor” period from June 25, 2025 to June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company qualified for and applied fresh start accounting. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements after June 24, 2025 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

Although GAAP requires that the Company report its results for the period from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the period from June 25, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (Successor) separately, management views certain metric and revenue information for the three months ended June 30, 2025 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because management believes such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of the Company’s results to prior periods. Although the Predecessor and Successor periods generally are not comparable as they are impacted by fresh start accounting, there are no fresh start adjustments affecting revenues and therefore revenue information has been combined to provide a meaningful understanding of operating trends, which would be consistent with a pro forma calculation under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Nevertheless, the combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent the Company’s emergence from its financial reorganization process and may not be indicative of future results.

The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from June 25, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (Successor) against any of the previous periods reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements without combining it with the period from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and do not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as Subscription Revenues, Incoming and End of Period Subscribers and Monthly Subscription Revenues per Average Subscriber for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, this press release presents the combined results for these metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Definitions
“Behavioral” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s digital product offerings with the option to add on unlimited access to the Company’s workshops.

“Clinical” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s clinical product offerings provided by WeightWatchers Clinic combined with the Company’s digital subscription product offerings and unlimited access to the Company’s workshops.

“Revenues” - “Subscription Revenues” consist of the aggregate of: (a) “Behavioral Subscription Revenues”, the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Behavioral offerings; and (b) “Clinical Subscription Revenues”, the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Clinical offerings. In addition, “Other Revenues” (formerly known as “product sales and other”) consist of revenues from licensing, franchise fees with respect to commitment plans and royalties, publishing and other revenues. Prior to fiscal 2024, Other Revenues included sales of consumer products.

“Incoming Subscribers” - “Subscribers” refer to Behavioral subscribers and Clinical subscribers who participate in recurring bill programs in Company-owned operations. The “Incoming Subscribers” metric reports Subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period start. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric. Management utilizes this metric to monitor changes in the subscriber base which directly impacts the Company’s revenue growth and trends.

“End of Period Subscribers” - “End of Period Subscribers” metric reports Subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period end. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric. Management utilizes this metric to monitor changes in the subscriber base which directly impacts the Company’s revenue growth and trends.

“Monthly Subscription Revenues Per Average Subscriber” - The “Monthly Subscription Revenues Per Average Subscriber” metric reports the monthly fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s offerings divided by the Average Subscriber for its businesses. Monthly Subscription Revenues for both quarterly and year-to-date periods for each respective business are calculated as Subscription Revenues divided by the number of months in the respective quarterly or year-to-date period. The “Average Subscriber” for quarterly periods for each respective business is the average of its Incoming Subscribers and End of Period Subscribers for the respective quarterly period. The “Average Subscriber” for year-to-date periods for each respective business is the average of its Incoming Subscribers at the beginning of the fiscal year and its End of Period Subscribers for each quarter end within the respective year-to-date period. Management utilizes this metric to consider revenue growth and trends on a per subscriber basis.

²Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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, marketing expenses, selling, general & administrative expenses, and product development expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to:

1. the period from June 25, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (Successor) to exclude (a) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company's Chapter 11 financial reorganization and (b) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, which varies considerably from period-to-period due to the size and frequency of acquisitions and application of fresh start accounting and therefore is omitted to assess the Company's core operating performance;

2. the period from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) to exclude (a) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company's Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (b) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, and (c) the net impact of charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2024 restructuring plan (the “2024 plan”) or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2024 plan, as applicable, and the reversal of charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”);

3. the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) to exclude (a) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company's Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (b) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, and (c) the net impact of charges associated with the 2024 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2024 plan, as applicable, and the reversal of charges associated with the 2023 plan;

4. the three months ended June 29, 2024 (Predecessor) to exclude (a) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses and (b) the impact or net impact, as applicable, of charges associated with the 2023 plan and the Company's previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”); and

5. the six months ended June 29, 2024 (Predecessor) to exclude (a) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses and (b) the net impact of charges associated with the 2023 plan and the 2022 plan.
   

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 (“EBITDA”); and EBITDA adjusted for franchise rights acquired impairments, reorganization items, net, transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company's Chapter 11 financial reorganization, net restructuring charges, and other items as indicated in the reconciliations below that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes in certain cases the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company uses results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate the Company’s performance. In this press release, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. The Company generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding or adjusting for the impact of foreign currency or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered in isolation. Results on a constant currency basis, as the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of the Company's business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While the Company 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 is not meant to 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.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year EBITDA 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 the Company's 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.
