NEW YORK (February 27, 2025) – WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024 ended December 28, 2024, and announced that the Company’s Board of Directors named Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Tara Comonte, to a permanent role as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective February 26, 2025.

“We are pleased with the momentum in our Clinical business in the Fourth Quarter, reflecting the increasing demand for comprehensive weight management solutions. As more people seek sustainable approaches—including those using or transitioning off medication—our unique combination of science-backed behavioral support, clinical care, and engaged global community allows us to deliver the right solutions at the right time. I am grateful for the Board’s trust in me to lead WeightWatchers through this next phase, and I look forward to building on our progress, working alongside our incredible team, and driving meaningful impact for our members,” said Tara Comonte, President and CEO.


“At the same time, WeightWatchers is in a period of significant transition as we navigate industry shifts and reposition our business for long-term growth. For more than six decades, we have led innovation in weight management, continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of our members. While we see clear opportunities ahead, executing on them will require careful prioritization as we balance investment in growth with the realities of our capital structure.”

“I’m excited to join WeightWatchers at this pivotal time,” said Felicia DellaFortuna, CFO. “In Q4, we continued to demonstrate disciplined and strategic cost management, which not only drove our year-over-year improvement in Q4’24 Adjusted EBITDAS, but also keeps us on track to achieve our $100 million run-rate cost savings target by the end of 2025. As we look ahead, our focus remains on strengthening our financial foundation to position WeightWatchers for sustained, long-term success.”

Q4 2024 Financial Highlights

 

   

End of Period Subscribers in Q4 2024 were 3.3 million, down 12.2% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in the Digital and Workshops + Digital businesses. End of Period Clinical Subscribers of 92 thousand increased 37.8% versus the prior year period.

 

   

Total Paid Weeks in Q4 2024 were down 9.9% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in the Digital and Workshops + Digital businesses. The decline in Total Paid Weeks was partially offset by growth in Clinical Paid Weeks, which increased 53.3%.

 

   

Revenues in Q4 2024 were $184.4 million. On a constant currency basis, Q4 2024 revenues decreased 10.4% versus the prior year period.

 

   

Subscription Revenues in Q4 2024 were $181.7 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 7.2% versus the prior year period primarily driven by lower recruitments and incoming subscribers in the Company’s non-Clinical businesses. Subscription Revenues benefited from $20.5 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues, which increased 57.9% versus the prior year period. Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by the continued mix shift from the Workshops + Digital business to the Digital business and a higher mix of non-Clinical Subscribers within their initial, lower-priced commitment periods.

 

   

Other Revenues in Q4 2024 were $2.7 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 72.8% versus the prior year period driven by the closure of the consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023.

 

   

Gross Profit in Q4 2024 was $128.5 million, compared to $124.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit, which excluded the net reversal of $1.1 million of restructuring charges related to prior years, was $127.4 million. Adjusted Gross Profit in Q4 2023, which excluded the net impact of $1.5 million of restructuring charges, was $126.4 million.


   

Gross Margin in Q4 2024 was 69.7%, compared to 60.6% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Margin in Q4 2024 was 69.1%, up from 61.4% in the prior year period, driven primarily by actions to reduce the fixed cost base within the Workshops + Digital business and the closure of the lower margin consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023.

 

   

Operating Income in Q4 2024 was $36.2 million, compared to an Operating Loss of $6.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income, which excluded the net impact of $0.7 million of restructuring charges, was $36.9 million and benefited from the Company’s previously announced cost savings initiatives. Adjusted Operating Income in Q4 2023, which excluded the net impact of $23.6 million of restructuring charges and non-cash intangible impairment charges of $3.6 million, was $21.3 million.

 

   

Income Tax Benefit in Q4 2024 was $11.7 million, which reflected the impact of a valuation allowance on the Company’s full year fiscal 2024 financials. In the prior year period, income tax expense was $57.6 million.

 

   

Net Income in Q4 2024 was $25.1 million compared to a Net Loss of $88.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDAS in Q4 2024 was $50.4 million compared to $33.5 million in the prior year period as a result of previously announced cost savings initiatives. Q4 2024 Adjusted EBITDAS margin was 27.4% compared to 16.3% in the prior year period and the highest since the third quarter of 2022.

 

   

Diluted Earnings Per Share in Q4 2024 was $0.31 compared to Diluted Net Loss Per Share of $1.11 in the prior year period. Q4 2024 Adjusted Earnings Per Share, which excluded $0.01 net impact of restructuring charges, was $0.32. In the prior year period, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, which excluded $0.22 of net impact of restructuring charges and $0.05 of non-cash intangible impairment charges, was $0.84.

 

   

Additionally, certain other items affected year-over-year comparability:

 

   

In Q4 2024, $0.28 per diluted share positive tax impact arising from the impact of a valuation allowance on the Company’s full year fiscal 2024 financials.

 

   

In Q4 2023, $0.78 per diluted share negative tax impact due to an increase in the valuation allowance to offset all U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits of the assets.

Operating Loss in fiscal 2024 was $236.2 million, compared to Operating Income of $22.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted Operating Income, which excluded $315.0 million of non-cash intangible impairment charges, the net impact of $22.2 million of restructuring charges, and $3.9 million of former CEO separation expenses, was $104.8 million. Adjusted Operating Income in fiscal 2023, which excluded the net impact of $54.9 million of restructuring charges, $8.6 million of acquisition transaction costs, and $3.6 million of non-cash intangible impairment charges, was $89.5 million.

In fiscal 2024, $0.12 per diluted share negative tax impact arising from the impact of a valuation allowance on the Company’s full year fiscal 2024 financials.

 

   

In fiscal 2023, $0.66 per diluted share negative tax impact due to an increase in the valuation allowance to offset all U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits of the assets.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Conference Call and Webcast

The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. During the conference call, Company management will discuss the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024 results and answer questions from the investment community.

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 (loss) income, operating (loss) income margin, net income (loss), net income (loss) margin, diluted (net loss) earnings per share, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis) to exclude, as applicable in a given period: (a) the net impact of the Company’s previously disclosed restructuring plans; (b) the impact of impairment charges for the Company’s franchise rights acquired and goodwill; and (c) certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations, including acquisition transaction costs and former CEO separation expenses. 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”) and EBITDAS margin; EBITDAS as further adjusted for the items described above (“Adjusted EBITDAS”) and Adjusted EBITDAS margin; 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. 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 is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
