WW Announces First Quarter 2021 Results and Continued Strong Digital Subscriber Growth

NEW YORK (May 5, 2021) – WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) today announced its results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

“WW had a strong start to the year, ending Q1 with 5.0 million subscribers, record Digital subscribers, and member retention remaining at an all-time high of over 10 months,” said Mindy Grossman, the Company’s President and CEO. “Today, we are the world’s leading weight loss and wellness digital subscription platform with multiple membership verticals and diverse revenue streams, creating a healthier, more profitable and more sustainable business model. Our continued digital transformation to a personalized, technology experience company was clearly evident in our first quarter results with our high-margin Digital membership growth driving performance and positioning us for subscriber, revenue and profit growth over the balance of 2021.”

Amy O’Keefe, the Company’s CFO, said, “Our first quarter performance was ahead of our expectations, with margin expansion driven by Digital growth and continued cost management in our Workshops business. In addition, our recent refinancing has further strengthened our balance sheet and significantly lowered our interest rates. As the world reopens, we will continue to take decisive actions to capitalize on consumer trends, flex our cost structure to meet demand, and position WW for accelerated momentum.”

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 profit margin, operating income, operating income 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company’s 2021 organizational restructuring plan and with respect to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to exclude the impact of the impairment charge for the Company’s goodwill related to its Brazil operations. 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, restructuring charges and goodwill impairment (“Adjusted EBITDAS”), net debt, and a net debt to 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 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.
