WEIGHT WATCHERS ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 RESULTS

AND PROVIDES FULL YEAR 2015 GUIDANCE

NEW YORK, N.Y., February 26, 2015 – Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014 and provided full year fiscal 2015 earnings guidance, including:

 

    Q4 2014 revenues of $327.8 million, down 10.4% versus the prior year period, with total paid weeks down 7.0%

 

    Q4 2014 adjusted earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) was $0.07, which excluded the impact of restructuring and non-cash impairment charges of $0.01 and $0.34, respectively, per fully diluted share; as reported, Q4 2014 EPS was a loss of $0.28

 

    Full year 2014 cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $231.6 million, with a cash balance of $301.2 million at year end

 

    Full year 2015 earnings guidance of between $0.40 and $0.70 per fully diluted share

“While we still believe in our underlying strategies, I am disappointed that we are not yet where we hoped to be and our turnaround will take longer than we had anticipated,” commented Jim Chambers, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Therefore, as we continue to enhance our consumer offerings, we are taking more aggressive steps to right-size our cost structure with a $100 million cost-savings initiative.”

Second, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $26.1 million ($19.1 million after tax or $0.34 per fully diluted share) for its franchise rights acquired related to its Canada operations. Excluding these two items, net income was $3.7 million and EPS was $0.07 in Q4 2014.

Net income and EPS for Q4 2013 were negatively impacted by an impairment charge of $1.2 million ($0.02 per fully diluted share) for its franchise rights acquired related to its Mexico and Hong Kong operations. Excluding this item, net income was $32.0 million and EPS was $0.56 in Q4 2013.

Fourth quarter 2014 revenues decreased 7.9% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in North America. Q4 2014 total paid weeks were down 7.0% as compared to the prior year period, with an Online paid weeks decline of 7.2% and meeting paid weeks decline of 6.8%. These declines were driven by lower active subscriber bases at the start of the quarter and lower recruitments in the quarter for both the meetings and Online businesses versus the prior year period.

Fourth quarter 2014 operating income decreased 82.4% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. Excluding the $1.0 million of restructuring charges and $26.1 million impairment charge in Q4 2014 and excluding the $1.2 million impairment charge in Q4 2013, operating income decreased 46.2% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. The operating income decline was driven primarily by lower revenues and higher marketing expense in North America.

Fourth quarter 2014 had 14 weeks as compared to 13 weeks in the fourth quarter 2013, which had a negative impact of $0.05 per fully diluted share.

Fourth quarter 2014 service revenues for North America were down 12.7% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period driven by a 12.8% decline in total paid weeks. These declines were driven by lower active subscriber bases at the start of the quarter and lower recruitments in the quarter for both the meetings and Online businesses versus the prior year period. As was the case throughout 2014, North America continued to face strong competition for consumer trial from an evolving competitor set, including mobile apps and activity monitors, during the fourth quarter 2014.

Fourth quarter 2014 service revenues for Continental Europe (CE) were up 3.3% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. Total paid weeks increased by 8.3%, driven by a 13.0% increase in Online paid weeks. Service revenues were positively impacted by a 0.7% paid weeks increase in the meetings business. The increase in total paid weeks was primarily driven by the higher Online active subscriber base at the start of the quarter and increased Online recruitments compared to the prior year period, which more than offset a lower meeting active subscriber base at the start of the quarter and lower meeting recruitments compared to the prior year period.

*Excluding the financials attached to this release, “Net Income” refers to Net Income attributable to Weight Watchers International, Inc.

Fiscal 2014 net income was $97.4 million versus $204.7 million in the prior year. EPS for fiscal 2014 was $1.72 versus $3.63 in the prior year. Foreign currency had a de minimis impact to EPS in fiscal 2014.

Net income and EPS for fiscal 2014 included: (i) $11.8 million ($7.2 million after tax or $0.13 per fully diluted share) of restructuring charges; (ii) a $26.1 million ($19.1 after tax or $0.34 per fully diluted share) impairment charge; (iii) the impact of the gain of $10.5 million ($6.4 million after tax or $0.11 per fully diluted share) recognized in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed Brazil acquisition due to an adjustment of its previously held equity interest to fair value offset by a charge associated with the settlement of the royalty-free arrangement of its Brazilian partnership; and (iv) the $2.4 million net tax benefit ($0.04 per fully diluted share) related to an intercompany loan write-off in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed closure of its China business partially offset by the recognition of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are not expected to be realized. Excluding the impact of the above items, net income was $115.0 million and EPS was $2.03 in fiscal 2014.

Net income and EPS for fiscal 2013 were impacted by two items that affected year-over-year comparability. First, the Company wrote-off fees associated with the Company’s debt

refinancing in April 2013. This write-off resulted in a $21.7 million ($13.3 million after tax or $0.24 per fully diluted share) early extinguishment of debt charge recorded in fiscal 2013. Second, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 million ($0.02 per fully diluted share) for its franchise rights acquired related to its Mexico and Hong Kong operations.

Fiscal 2014 revenues decreased 14.2% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in North America. Fiscal 2014 total paid weeks were down 12.2% as compared to the prior year, with an Online paid weeks decline of 12.2% and meeting paid weeks decline of 12.3%. These declines were driven by lower active subscriber bases at the start of the year and lower recruitments in the year for both the meetings and Online businesses versus the prior year.

Fiscal 2014 operating income decreased 41.7% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year. Excluding the fiscal 2014 $11.8 million of restructuring charges and $26.1 million impairment charge and the fiscal 2013 $1.2 million impairment charge, fiscal 2014 operating income decreased 33.2% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year. The operating income decline was driven primarily by lower revenues in North America.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

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. Net income, earnings per fully diluted share and operating income with respect to the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, as follows: (i) with respect to the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014, to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2014 restructuring of its organization and the impact of the impairment charge for its franchise rights acquired related to its Canada operations; (ii) with respect to the full year fiscal 2014, to exclude the net tax benefit related to an intercompany loan write-off in connection with the previously disclosed closure of the Company’s China business partially offset by the recognition of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are not expected to be realized and the impact of the gain on the Company’s previously disclosed Brazil acquisition; (iii) with respect to the fourth quarter fiscal 2013, to exclude the impact of the impairment charge for its franchise rights acquired related to its Mexico and Hong Kong operations; and (iv) with respect to the full year fiscal 2013, to exclude the impact from the early extinguishment of debt charge associated with the Company’s previously reported debt refinancing and the impact of the impairment charge for its franchise rights acquired related to its Mexico and Hong Kong operations. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS) is presented in the attachments to this release. 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. In this release and any attachments, 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 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 entitled 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.
