NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WW International, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. The terms “Company” and “WW” as used throughout these notes are used to indicate WW International, Inc. and all of its operations consolidated for purposes of its financial statements. The Company’s “Digital” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s digital product offerings, including Digital 360 and Personal Coaching + Digital. The Company’s “Workshops + Digital” (formerly known as “Studio + Digital”) business refers to providing unlimited access to the Company’s workshops combined with the Company’s digital subscription product offerings to commitment plan subscribers. It also includes the provision of access to workshops for members who do not subscribe to commitment plans, including the Company’s “pay-as-you-go” members.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. For example, the global outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has had and will continue to have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business as well as on the business environment and the markets in which it operates. This global health crisis has also had a significant adverse effect on overall economic conditions and the Company expects consumer demand to continue to be negatively impacted due to changes in consumer behavior and confidence and health concerns. The situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly significant change, with the United States and other countries continuing to struggle with rolling outbreaks of the virus and its variants. Accordingly, the full extent of the magnitude and duration of the negative impact to the Company’s business from the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q quarterly financial statements. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity. The consolidated financial statements include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. All entities acquired, and any entity of which a majority interest was acquired, are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments including those of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the interim results presented.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A, for fiscal 2020 filed on February 25, 2021 and March 30, 2021, respectively, which include additional information about the Company, its results of operations, its financial position and its cash flows.

2.	Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 as well as by improving consistent application of GAAP by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. On January 3, 2021, the Company adopted the updated guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Leases

A lease is defined as an arrangement that contractually specifies the right to use and control an identified asset for a specific period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term, since the Company’s lessors do not provide an implicit rate, nor is one readily available. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the Company’s credit yield curve and adjusted for collateralization, credit quality and economic environment impact, all where applicable. The lease asset includes scheduled lease payments and excludes lease incentives, such as free rent periods and tenant improvement allowances. The Company has certain leases that may include an option to renew and when it is reasonably probable to exercise such option, the Company will include the renewal option terms in determining the lease asset and lease liability. The Company does not have any renewal options that would have a material impact on the terms of the leases and that are also reasonably expected to be exercised as of July 3, 2021. A lease may contain both fixed and variable payments. Variable lease payments that are linked to an index or rate are measured based on the current index or rate at the implementation of the lease accounting standard, or lease commencement date for new leases, with the impact of future changes in the index or rate being recorded as a period expense. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s operating leases are primarily for its studios and corporate offices.

At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company’s lease assets and lease liabilities were as follows:

Information about Contract Balances

For Subscription Revenues, the Company can collect payment in advance of providing services. Any amounts collected in advance of services being provided are recorded in deferred revenue. In the case where amounts are not collected, but the service has been provided and the revenue has been recognized, the amounts are recorded in accounts receivable. The opening and ending balances of the Company’s deferred revenues are as follows:

	Deferred		Deferred
	Revenue		Revenue-Long Term
Balance as of January 2, 2021	$	50,475	$	44
Net increase (decrease) during the period		960		(28	)
Balance as of July 3, 2021	$	51,435	$	16

Revenue recognized from amounts included in current deferred revenue as of January 2, 2021 was $48,227 for the six months ended July 3, 2021. The Company’s long-term deferred revenue, which is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, had a balance of $16 and $44 at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively, for revenue that will not be recognized during the next fiscal year and is generally related to upfront payments received as an inducement for entering into certain sales-based royalty agreements with third party licensees. This revenue is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable agreement.

5.	Acquisitions

Acquisition of Franchisees

On March 22, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of its Michigan franchisee, The WW Group, Inc., and its Ontario, Canada franchisee, The WW Group Co., as follows:

(a)

The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of The WW Group, Inc., which operated franchises in certain territories in Michigan, for an aggregate purchase price of $17,500. Payment was in the form of cash ($8,255), cash payable on July 30, 2021 ($8,750), and assumed net liabilities ($495). Of the $8,750 of cash payable on July 30, 2021, $2,300 will be cash held in reserves. The total purchase price has been allocated to franchise rights acquired ($16,885), customer relationship value ($408), inventories ($162), property and equipment, net ($41) and other assets ($4); and

(b)

The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of The WW Group Co., which operated franchises in certain territories in Ontario, Canada, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,114. Payment was in the form of cash ($2,605), cash in reserves ($599) and assumed net assets ($90). The total purchase price has been allocated to franchise rights acquired ($3,040), customer relationship value ($42), property and equipment, net ($25), inventories ($6) and other assets ($1).

Both acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, earnings of the acquired franchises have been included in the consolidated operating results of the Company since the date of acquisition.

6.	Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Franchise rights acquired are due to acquisitions of the Company’s franchised territories as well as the acquisition of franchise promotion agreements and other factors associated with the acquired franchise territories. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the change in the carrying value of franchise rights acquired was due to the franchisee acquisitions as described in Note 5 and the effect of exchange rate changes.

Goodwill primarily relates to the acquisition of the Company by The Kraft Heinz Company (successor to H.J. Heinz Company) in 1978, and the Company’s acquisitions of WW.com, Inc. (formerly known as WeightWatchers.com, Inc.) in 2005 and the Company’s franchised territories. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill was due to the effect of exchange rate changes as follows:

Franchise Rights Acquired

Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested on an annual basis for impairment.

In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for franchise rights related to the Company’s Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for franchise rights related to the Company’s Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for these rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for those franchise rights. The Company has determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date were $698,383, $61,644, $12,459, $6,766 and $4,976, respectively.

In its hypothetical start-up approach analysis for fiscal 2021, the Company assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, the Company estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. The cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Goodwill

In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date were $102,968, $43,486 and $10,300, respectively.

For all of the Company’s reporting units tested as of May 9, 2021, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test

The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed fair value impairment testing as of May 9, 2021 and May 3, 2020, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill.

In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 9, 2021 and May 3, 2020, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives units of account and goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed.

WW INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

When determining fair value, the Company utilizes various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, the Company would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. The Company would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on its balance sheet.

Based on the results of the Company’s May 9, 2021 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for all of its units of account as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, all units, except for New Zealand, had an estimated fair value at least 45% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these units of account represent 99.4% of the Company’s total franchise rights acquired. Based on the results of the Company’s annual franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its New Zealand unit of account, which holds 0.6% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to New Zealand, for which the net book value was $4,976 as of July 3, 2021.

Based on the results of the Company’s May 9, 2021 annual goodwill impairment test performed for all of its reporting units as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, there was significant headroom in the goodwill impairment analysis for those units, with the difference between the carrying value and the fair value exceeding 100%.

Brazil Goodwill Impairment

With respect to its Brazil reporting unit, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made a strategic decision to shift to an exclusively Digital business in that country. The Company determined that this decision, together with the negative impact of COVID-19, the ongoing challenging economic environment in Brazil and its reduced expectations regarding the reporting unit’s future operating cash flows, required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing this discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value and as a result recorded an impairment charge of $3,665, which comprised the remaining balance of goodwill for this reporting unit.

As it related to its goodwill impairment analysis for Brazil, the Company estimated future debt-free cash flows in contemplation of its growth strategies for that market. In developing these projections, the Company considered the growth strategies under the current market conditions in Brazil. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets

On April 13, 2021, the Company (1) repaid in full approximately $1,189,750 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under its then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “Discharged Senior Notes”). On April 13, 2021, the Company’s then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. The Company funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $1,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its new credit facilities and proceeds received from the issuance of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the “April 2021 debt refinancing”. The Company’s new credit facilities consist of a $1,000,000 term loan facility and a $175,000 revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) (collectively, as amended from time to time, the “New Credit Facilities”). During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company incurred fees of $37,910 (which included $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $5,000 of a debt discount on its New Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29,169 in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt write-off was comprised of $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9,017 of financing fees paid in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing and $7,213 of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount.

New Credit Facilities

The New Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “New Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The New Credit Facilities consist of (1) $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028 (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and (2) $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”).

As of July 3, 2021, the Company had $1,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the New Credit Facilities, with $173,846 of availability and $1,154 in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of July 3, 2021.

All obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including:

•

a pledge of 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such first-tier non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and

•

a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The New Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow;

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and

•

100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the New Credit Agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the New Term Loan Facility. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, except (1) for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans under the New Credit Facilities and (2) during the six months following the Closing Date (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), with respect to certain voluntary prepayments or refinancings of the New Term Loan Facility that reduce the effective yield of the New Term Loan Facility, which will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium.

Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBOR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00% or (2) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero. As of July 3, 2021, the applicable margins for the LIBOR rate borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50% and 2.50%, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the New Credit Agreement provides that the Company and the administrative agent may amend the New Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the New Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If the Company fails to do so, its borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin.

On a quarterly basis, the Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility).

The New Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt, amendments of material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, changes to lines of business and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default.

The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35% of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, the Company must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of, on or prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2022, 6.00:1.00, with a step down to 5.75:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2023, with an additional step down to 5.50:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2024, with a step down to 5.25:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2025 and again to 5.00:1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025.

Senior Secured Notes

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “New Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The New Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500% and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125% on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000% on or after April 15, 2026. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date.

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the New Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the New Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the New Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

Outstanding Debt

At July 3, 2021, the Company had $1,500,000 outstanding under the New Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility of $1,000,000, $0 drawn down on the New Revolving Credit Facility and $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding.

At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company’s debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. See Note 11 for information on the Company’s interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.67% and 7.03% per annum at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 6.17% and 7.41% per annum at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates.

8.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

The number of anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares for diluted EPS was 4,724 and 4,075 for the three months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The number of anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares for diluted EPS was 6,426 and 2,849 for the six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively.

9.Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 were 9.9% and 42.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 were 28.6% and 38.4%, respectively. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the tax expense was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income. For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the tax expense was impacted by an impairment of the Company’s Brazil reporting unit which had a full valuation allowance and tax reserves related to a foreign income tax audit, partially offset by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the six months ended June 27, 2020, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income, state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Securities Class Action and Derivative Matters

In March 2019, two substantially identical class action complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed by individual shareholders against the Company, certain of the Company’s current officers and the Company’s former controlling shareholder, Artal Group S.A. (“Artal”), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The actions were consolidated and lead plaintiffs were appointed in June 2019. A consolidated amended complaint was filed on July 29, 2019, naming as defendants the Company, certain of the Company’s current officers and directors, and Artal and certain of its affiliates. A second consolidated amended complaint was filed on September 27, 2019. The operative complaint asserted claims on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s common stock between May 4, 2018 and February 26, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including purchasers of the Company’s common stock traceable to the May 2018 secondary offering of the Company’s common stock by certain of its shareholders. The complaint alleged that, during the Class Period, the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed or recklessly disregarded material adverse facts. The complaint alleged claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and with respect to the secondary offering, under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The plaintiffs sought to recover unspecified damages on behalf of the class members. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on October 31, 2019. On November 30, 2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss in full and dismissed the complaint. The plaintiffs did not appeal.

Between March and July 2019, the Company received shareholder litigation demands alleging breaches of fiduciary duties by certain current and former Company directors and executive officers, to the alleged injury of the Company. The allegations in the demands related to those contained in the dismissed securities class action litigation. In response to the demands, pursuant to Virginia law, the Board of Directors created a special committee to investigate and evaluate the claims made in the demands. In addition, four derivative complaints were filed, each making allegations against certain of the Company’s officers and directors and/or Artal and certain of its affiliates. First, on June 13, 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company’s officers and directors alleging, among other things, that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the alleged injury of the Company. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the complaint on July 8, 2019 and the Company agreed to treat the complaint as a litigation demand. Second, on July 23, 2019, another shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company’s officers and directors alleging, among other things, that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the alleged injury of the Company. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the complaint the same day. Third, on October 25, 2019, another shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company’s officers and directors alleging, among other things, that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the alleged injury of the Company. Finally, on December 16, 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in New York Supreme Court against certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and Artal and certain of its affiliates, alleging, among other things, that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to the alleged injury of the Company. This action and the derivative action filed October 25, 2019 (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”) were initially stayed pending a decision on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the securities class action, and all parties agreed to an additional stay until June 24, 2021. On June 24, 2021, the parties to the Derivative Actions jointly notified the Southern District of New York and the New York Supreme Court that the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to resolve the Derivative Actions. The parties will participate in settlement approval proceedings in the coming months.

Member Class Action Matter

In June 2020, a Workshops + Digital (then known as Studio + Digital) member filed a class action complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of California in Ventura County. The complaint was filed on behalf of all Workshops + Digital members nationwide and regarded the fees charged for Workshops + Digital memberships since the replacement of in-person workshops with virtual workshops in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company’s decision to charge its members the full Workshops + Digital membership fee while only providing a virtual workshop experience violated California state consumer protection laws and gave rise to claims for breach of contract, fraud, and other tort causes of action based on the same factual allegations that were the basis for the breach of contract claim. The plaintiff sought to recover damages plus injunctive relief to enjoin the Company from engaging in similar conduct in the future on behalf of the class members.

On July 30, 2020, the Company filed a notice to remove the matter to the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and per the parties’ stipulation, on August 7, 2020, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 23, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all of the plaintiff’s claims with prejudice. At the parties’ September 29, 2020 preliminary conference, the court issued an order permitting the plaintiff to either submit her opposition to the motion to dismiss or file an amended complaint by October 14, 2020. On October 14, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint with predominantly the same claims. The Company filed another motion to dismiss the matter on November 4, 2020. The plaintiff filed her opposition brief on November 19, 2020, and the Company filed its reply brief on November 25, 2020. On May 24, 2021, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with prejudice.

Other Litigation Matters

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, it is also, at times, subject to other pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

11.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging

As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the Company had in effect interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $500,000 and $750,000, respectively.

On June 11, 2018, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2018 swap”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The initial notional amount of this swap was $500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $250,000 on March 31, 2021. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 3.1005%. On June 7, 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (together with the 2018 swap, the “current swaps”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The notional amount of this swap is $250,000. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.901%. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, cumulative unrealized losses for qualifying hedges were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amounts of $15,947 ($21,435 before taxes) and $20,979 ($28,161 before taxes), respectively. As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the aggregate fair values of the Company’s current swaps were liabilities of $21,532 and $28,283, respectively, which were included in derivative payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next three years. The Company expects approximately $4,921 ($6,578 before taxes) of derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at July 3, 2021, based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

12.	Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

When measuring fair value, the Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s significant financial instruments include long-term debt and interest rate swap agreements as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility approximated a carrying value of $0 at July 3, 2021. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the then-existing Revolving Credit Facility approximated a carrying value of $0 at January 2, 2021.

The fair value of the Company’s Credit Facilities is determined by utilizing average bid prices on or near the end of each fiscal quarter (Level 2 input). As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,476,884 and $1,501,148, respectively, as compared to the carrying value (net of deferred financing costs and debt discount) of $1,469,737 and $1,485,800, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values for the Company’s derivative financial instruments are determined using observable current market information such as the prevailing LIBOR interest rate and LIBOR yield curve rates and include consideration of counterparty credit risk. See Note 11 for disclosures related to derivative financial instruments.

The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments:

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	Total Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap liability at July 3, 2021	$	21,532	$	—	$	21,532	$	—
Interest rate swap liability at January 2, 2021	$	28,283	$	—	$	28,283	$	—

The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 and did not maintain any assets or liabilities classified as Level 3 during the six months ended July 3, 2021 and the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.

14.	Segment Data

The Company has four reportable segments based on an integrated geographical structure as follows: North America, Continental Europe (CE), United Kingdom and Other. Other consists of Australia, New Zealand and emerging markets operations and franchise revenues and related costs, all of which have been grouped together as if they were a single reportable segment because they do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds and are immaterial for separate disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on October 18, 2015, the Company entered into the Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Oprah Winfrey, under which she would consult with the Company and participate in developing, planning, executing and enhancing the WW program and related initiatives, and provide it with services in her discretion to promote the Company and its programs, products and services for an initial term of five years (the “Initial Term”).

As previously disclosed, on December 15, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment of the Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Ms. Winfrey, pursuant to which, among other things, the Initial Term of the Strategic Collaboration Agreement was extended until April 17, 2023 (with no additional successive renewal terms) after which a second term will commence and continue through the earlier of the date of the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders or May 31, 2025. Ms. Winfrey will continue to provide the above-described services during the remainder of the Initial Term and, during the second term, will provide certain consulting and other services to the Company. In consideration of Ms. Winfrey entering into the amendment to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement and the performance of her obligations thereunder, on December 15, 2019 the Company granted Ms. Winfrey a fully vested option to purchase 3,276 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Winfrey Amendment Option") which became exercisable on May 6, 2020, the date on which shareholder approval of such option was obtained. The amendment to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement became operative on May 6, 2020 when the Company’s shareholders approved the Winfrey Amendment Option. Based on the Black Scholes option pricing method as of May 6, 2020, the Company recorded $32,686 of compensation expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 for the Winfrey Amendment Option. The Company used a dividend yield of 0.0%, 63.68% volatility and a risk-free interest rate of 0.41%. Compensation expense was included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

In addition to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, Ms. Winfrey and her related entities provided services to the Company totaling $192 and $666 for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and $823 and $1,761 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, which services included advertising, production and related fees.

Entities related to Ms. Winfrey were reimbursed for actual costs incurred in connection with the WW Presents: Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour totaling $141 and $1,650 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s accounts payable to parties related to Ms. Winfrey at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021 was $0 and $76, respectively.

During the six months ended July 3, 2021, as permitted by the transfer provisions set forth in the previously disclosed Share Purchase Agreement, dated October 18, 2015, between the Company and Ms. Winfrey, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), and the previously disclosed Winfrey Option Agreement, dated October 18, 2015, between the Company and Ms. Winfrey (the “Initial Option Agreement”), Ms. Winfrey sold shares she purchased under such purchase agreement and exercised a portion of her stock options granted in 2015 resulting in the sale of shares issuable under such options, respectively, as follows: (i) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, 666 purchased shares and 251 option shares and (ii) in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 875 purchased shares and 330 option shares.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as permitted by the transfer provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Initial Option Agreement, Ms. Winfrey sold 604 of the shares she purchased under such purchase agreement and exercised a portion of her stock options granted in 2015 resulting in the sale of 297 shares issuable under such options.

16.Restructuring

2021 Plan

As previously disclosed, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as the Company continued to evaluate its cost structure, anticipate consumer demand and focus on costs, the Company committed to a plan which has resulted and will result in the termination of operating leases and elimination of certain positions worldwide. The Company had previously estimated this plan would cost approximately $11,000 in fiscal 2021. The Company revised its estimate and currently expects to record restructuring expenses of approximately $22,000 in fiscal 2021 related to this plan. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $6,036 ($4,515 after tax) and $11,574 ($8,659 after tax), respectively.

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, the components of the Company’s restructuring expenses were as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2021		July 3, 2021
Lease termination and other related costs	$	4,789	$	9,509
Employee termination benefit costs		1,247		2,065
Total restructuring expenses	$	6,036	$	11,574

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, restructuring expenses were recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2021		July 3, 2021
Cost of revenues	$	5,579	$	10,781
Selling, general and administrative expenses		457		793
Total restructuring expenses	$	6,036	$	11,574

All expenses were recorded to general corporate expenses and, therefore, there was no impact to the segments.

For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company made payments of $4,567 towards the liability for the lease termination costs and increased provision estimates by $16. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the Company made payments of $566 towards the liability for the employee termination benefit costs and decreased provision estimates by $9. The Company expects the remaining lease termination liability of $1,809 and the remaining employee termination benefit liability of $1,490 to be paid in full no later than the end of fiscal 2023.

2020 Plan

As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, in connection with its cost-savings initiative, and its continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related shift in market conditions, the Company committed to a plan of reduction in force which has resulted in the elimination of certain positions and termination of employment for certain employees worldwide. To adjust to anticipated consumer demand, the Company evolved its workshop strategy and expanded its restructuring plan to include lease termination and other related costs. For the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $33,092 ($24,756 after tax).

For the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, the components of the Company’s restructuring expenses were as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended
	January 2, 2021

The following terms used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are our trademarks: Digital 360^TM, myWW^® and Weight Watchers^®.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 as amended that includes additional information about us, our results of operations, our financial position and our cash flows, and with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (collectively referred to as the “Consolidated Financial Statements”).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross profit margin, operating income and operating income margin are discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 to exclude the net impact of (x) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan and (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan; (ii) the second quarter of fiscal 2020 to exclude the impact of (x) the one-time stock compensation expense associated with the previously disclosed option granted to Ms. Oprah Winfrey in connection with the Company extending its partnership with Ms. Winfrey (the “Winfrey Stock Compensation expense”) and (y) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 restructuring charges”); and (iii) the first six months of fiscal 2020 to exclude the impact of (x) the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, (y) the 2020 restructuring charges and (z) the impairment charge for our goodwill related to our Brazil reporting unit. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as follows: (i) with respect to the adjustments for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges; and (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2020, as applicable, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, the restructuring charges and/or the goodwill impairment charge. We also present within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges (including the net impact where applicable) and goodwill impairment (“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. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt” for the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in each case. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of our business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of our business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our 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 entitled measures reported by other companies.

USE OF CONSTANT CURRENCY

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe in certain cases the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we calculate constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We generally refer 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 we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franchise Rights Acquired

In performing the impairment analysis for our indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for our franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for our franchise rights related to our Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for our franchise rights related to our Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for these rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for those franchise rights. We have determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date were $698.4 million, $61.6 million, $12.5 million, $6.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

In our hypothetical start-up approach analysis for fiscal 2021, we assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, we estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. The cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Goodwill

In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for our reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date were $103.0 million, $43.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively.

For all of our reporting units tested as of May 9, 2021, we estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. We utilized operating income as the basis for measuring our potential growth because we believe it is the best indicator of the performance of our business. We then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test

We review indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. We performed fair value impairment testing as of May 9, 2021 and May 3, 2020, each the first day of fiscal May, on our indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill.

In performing our annual impairment analysis as of May 9, 2021 and May 3, 2020, we determined that the carrying amounts of our franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives units of account and goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed.

When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, we would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. We would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on our balance sheet. We continue to evaluate these assumptions and believe that these assumptions are appropriate.

In performing our annual impairment analysis, we also considered the trading value of both our equity and debt. If the trading values of both our equity and debt were to significantly decline from their current levels, we may have to take an impairment charge at the appropriate time, which could be material. For additional information on risks associated with our recognizing asset impairment charges, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 as amended.

Based on the results of our May 9, 2021 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for all of our units of account as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, all units, except for New Zealand, had an estimated fair value at least 45% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these units of account represent 99.4% of our total franchise rights acquired. Based on the results of our annual franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for our New Zealand unit of account, which holds 0.6% of our franchise rights acquired as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to New Zealand, for which the net book value was $5.0 million as of July 3, 2021.

In performing this impairment analysis for fiscal 2021, for the year of maturity, we assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of (41.5%) to 5.6% in the year of maturity from fiscal 2020, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 1.8%. For the year of maturity and beyond, we assumed operating income margin rates of 7.1% to 11.7%.

Based on the results of our May 9, 2021 annual goodwill impairment test performed for all of our reporting units as of the July 3, 2021 balance sheet date, there was significant headroom in the goodwill impairment analysis for those units, with the difference between the carrying value and the fair value exceeding 100%.

The following are the more significant assumptions utilized in our annual impairment analyses for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020:

	Fiscal	Fiscal
	2021	2020
Debt-Free Cumulative Annual Cash Flow Growth Rate	0.2% to 2.6%	4.0% to 13.9%
Discount Rate	8.5%	9.5%

Brazil Goodwill Impairment

With respect to our Brazil reporting unit, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we made a strategic decision to shift to an exclusively Digital business in that country. We determined that this decision, together with the negative impact of COVID-19, the ongoing challenging economic environment in Brazil and our reduced expectations regarding the reporting unit’s future operating cash flows, required us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing this discounted cash flow analysis, we determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value and as a result recorded an impairment charge of $3.7 million, which comprised the remaining balance of goodwill for this reporting unit.

As it related to our goodwill impairment analysis for Brazil, we estimated future debt-free cash flows in contemplation of our growth strategies for that market. In developing these projections, we considered the growth strategies under the current market conditions in Brazil. We then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Other Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of the other critical accounting policies affecting us, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 as amended. Our critical accounting policies have not changed since the end of fiscal 2020.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Our management team regularly reviews and analyzes a number of financial and operating metrics, including the key performance indicators listed below, in order to manage our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and assess the quality and potential variability of our cash flows and earnings. We also believe that these key performance indicators are useful to both management and investors for forecasting purposes and to facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results. These metrics are supplemental to our GAAP results and include operational measures.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The novel coronavirus (including its variants, COVID-19) pandemic continues to impact our business operations and the markets in which we operate. While the outbreak of COVID-19 did not have a significant effect on our reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, it did have a significant effect on our reported results for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and the first half of fiscal 2021. The number of End of Period Subscribers for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 1.9% versus the prior year period. The challenging COVID-19 environment for our Workshops + Digital business drove a significant decrease in End of Period Workshops + Digital Subscribers for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period, which was partially offset by the increase in End of Period Digital Subscribers. The negative impact of COVID-19 is expected to continue to significantly impact the Workshops + Digital business in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and potentially in subsequent periods.

The extent to which our operations and business trends will continue in future periods to be impacted by, and any unforeseen costs will result from, the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These developments include, among other things, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak, health implications and vaccine availability, actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, and changes in consumer behavior resulting from the outbreak and such government actions. We continue to actively monitor the ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact and related developments and expect that it will significantly impact our reported results for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and may potentially do so in subsequent periods.

In response to the public health crisis posed by COVID-19, in March 2020, we suspended our in-person workshops and moved quickly to transition these workshops to an entirely virtual experience. In June 2020, we began a phased re-opening with reduced operations of a limited number of our studio locations. We continue to evolve our workshop strategy as we evaluate our cost structure and respond to shifting consumer sentiment. We are selectively resuming in-person workshops where we can in a cost-efficient manner that promotes the health and safety of our employees and members. However, during these uncertain times, we will continue to adhere to the requirements in local jurisdictions to close re-opened studios as necessary, and we may not be able to open studios as planned or may need to further reduce operations. We continue to serve our members virtually, both via our Digital business and through virtual workshops now available to our Workshops + Digital subscribers. Nevertheless, our Workshops + Digital business, including its business operations, number of subscribers and in-studio product sales, remain substantially affected by the evolving COVID-19 environment. We expect that applicable regulatory restrictions, including stay-at-home requirements and restrictions on in-person group gatherings, may continue to impact our studio operations, including how we conduct our in-person workshops.

As we continue to address the impact of the pandemic, and the related evolving legal and consumer landscape, we are focused on how to best meet our members’ and consumers’ needs as restrictions are lifted or reinstated. We consolidated certain of our studios into branded studio locations and continue to close certain other branded studio locations. The decision to re-open a studio location, if at all, or further consolidate studio locations, will be influenced by a number of factors, including applicable legal restrictions, consumer confidence and preferences, changes in consumer behavior, and the protection of the health and safety of our employees and members, and will be dependent on cost efficiencies and alignment with our digital and brand strategy. The current number of our studio locations is significantly lower than that prior to the pandemic, and we expect it to remain below pre-COVID-19 levels. As a result, we have incurred and will incur significant costs associated with our real estate realignment.

While we expect the effects of the pandemic and the related responses to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the uncertainty of the full extent of the duration and severity of the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means we cannot reasonably estimate the related financial impact at this time. For more information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 as amended. We continue to believe that our powerful communities and our ability to inspire people to adopt healthy habits will be invaluable to people across the globe as they continue to acclimate to new social and economic environments, and that they uniquely position us in the markets in which we operate.

Consolidated Results

Revenues

Revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $311.4 million, a decrease of $22.3 million, or 6.7%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted our revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $11.9 million, revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 10.2% versus the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by lower revenues related to Workshops + Digital Fees as a result of the closure of our studios and reduced operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “—Segment Results” for additional details on revenues.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Total cost of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $13.6 million, or 9.8%, versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $5.0 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the $6.5 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, total cost of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 9.1%, or 11.8% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. Gross profit decreased $8.6 million, or 4.4%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $8.3 million, gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 8.7% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $5.0 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the $6.5 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 5.1%, or 9.2% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period primarily due to the decrease in revenues. Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 1.4% to 59.7% versus 58.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased 1.0% to 59.4% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased 1.0% to 61.3% versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased 0.7% to 61.0% versus the prior year period. Gross margin increase was driven primarily by a mix shift to our higher margin Digital business, offset in part by a contraction of margins in the Workshops + Digital business and lower margins related to consumer product sales.

Marketing

Marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased $15.3 million, or 36.4%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which increased marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $2.4 million, marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased 30.7% versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020. This increase in marketing expenses was primarily due to cycling against lower than usual second quarter marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 given the then-uncertain COVID-19 environment. Marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased to 18.4% from 12.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $32.6 million, or 32.0%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which increased selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $1.7 million, selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 33.7% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $0.2 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of both the $32.7 million of Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and $4.7 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased by 7.1%, or 4.5% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was driven primarily by higher employee compensation and related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased to 22.2% from 30.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Operating Income

Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased $8.7 million, or 17.0%, versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $4.2 million, operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have increased 8.9% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $5.2 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of both the $32.7 million Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and the $11.2 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 31.6%, or 36.0% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. Operating income margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 3.9% to 19.2% versus 15.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the impact of both the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, operating income margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 7.6%, or 8.2% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This decrease in operating income margin was driven primarily by an increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, minimally offset by an increase in gross margin, versus the prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $10.7 million, or 34.5%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by lower interest rates under our New Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and on our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) as a result of our April 2021 debt refinancing (as defined below). The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, decreased to 4.73% per annum at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from 6.42% per annum at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2020, decreased to 5.32% per annum at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from 7.25% per annum at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon. For additional details on our interest rate swaps, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, which consists primarily of the impact of foreign currency on intercompany transactions, was $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, flat compared to the prior year period.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we wrote-off $29.2 million of fees in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing that we recorded as an early extinguishment of debt charge, comprised of $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes (as defined below), $9.0 million of financing fees and $7.2 million of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount. For additional details on this refinancing, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt”.

Tax

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was 9.9% as compared to 28.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income, or FDII. The tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was impacted by tax reserves related to a foreign income tax audit, partially offset by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, and state income tax expense.

Net Income Attributable to the Company and Earnings Per Share

Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 reflected a $5.1 million, or 36.7%, decrease from the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 by $3.0 million, net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 57.9% from the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included a $21.8 million impact from the write-off of fees related to our April 2021 debt refinancing and a $3.9 million net impact from restructuring charges. Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 included a $24.4 million impact from the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and an $8.3 million impact from restructuring charges.

Earnings per fully diluted share, or EPS, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.12 compared to $0.20 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included a $0.31 impact from the write-off of fees related to our April 2021 debt refinancing and a $0.05 net impact from restructuring charges. EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 included a $0.35 impact from the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and a $0.12 impact from restructuring charges.

Consolidated Results

Revenues

Revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 were $643.2 million, a decrease of $90.8 million, or 12.4%, versus the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted our revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $22.3 million, revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 15.4% versus the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by lower revenues related to Workshops + Digital Fees and in-studio product sales as a result of the closure of our studios and reduced operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In North America, revenue also declined as we cycled against the revenues from the WW Presents: Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour. See “—Segment Results” for additional details on revenues.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Total cost of revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased $64.6 million, or 19.7%, versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $10.2 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the $6.5 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2020, total cost of revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 21.2%, or 23.3% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. Gross profit decreased $26.2 million, or 6.5%, in the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $15.5 million, gross profit in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 10.3% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $10.2 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the $6.5 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2020, gross profit in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 5.5%, or 9.2% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period primarily due to the decrease in revenues. Gross margin increased to 59.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 as compared to 55.3% in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have increased 3.4% to 58.6% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2020, gross margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have increased 4.4% to 60.6% versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the net impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2020, gross margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have increased 4.1% to 60.3% versus the prior year period. Gross margin increase was driven primarily by a mix shift to our higher margin Digital business and cycling against the net profit from the WW Presents: Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour as a percentage of revenue, offset in part by a contraction of margins in the Workshops + Digital business and lower margins related to consumer product sales.

Marketing

Marketing expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 increased $14.3 million, or 8.9%, versus the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which increased marketing expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $6.3 million, marketing expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have increased 5.0% versus the first six months of fiscal 2020. This increase in marketing expenses was primarily due to cycling against lower than usual second quarter marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 given the then-uncertain COVID-19 environment. Marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 27.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 as compared to 21.8% in the prior year period.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased $23.4 million, or 14.1%, versus the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which increased selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $2.9 million, selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 15.8% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $0.6 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of both the $32.7 million Winfrey Stock Compensation expense and the $4.7 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have increased by 10.4%, or 8.1% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was driven primarily by higher employee compensation and related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 22.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2021 as compared to 22.7% in the prior year period.

Impairment

In performing our interim impairment analysis for our Brazil reporting unit during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we determined that, based on the fair values calculated, the carrying amount of goodwill related to our Brazil reporting unit exceeded our fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $3.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Operating Income

Operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased $13.3 million, or 17.6%, versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $6.4 million, operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 26.0% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $10.7 million of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the $32.7 million Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, the $11.2 million of restructuring charges and the $3.7 million goodwill impairment charge related to our Brazil reporting unit in the first six months of fiscal 2020, operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 40.7%, or 45.8% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. Operating income margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased 0.6% to 9.7% versus 10.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the impact of the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, restructuring charges and the goodwill impairment charge in the first six months of fiscal 2020, operating income margin in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased by 5.4%, or 6.0% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This decrease in operating income margin was driven primarily by an increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase in gross margin, versus the prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the first six months of fiscal 2021 decreased $13.1 million, or 21.0%, versus the first six months of fiscal 2020. The decrease in interest expense was driven primarily by lower interest rates under our New Term Loan Facility and on our Senior Secured Notes as a result of our April 2021 debt refinancing. The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the first six months of fiscal 2020 and excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, decreased to 5.66% per annum at the end of the first six months of fiscal 2021 from 6.97% per annum at the end of the first six months of fiscal 2020. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the first six months of fiscal 2020, decreased to 6.43% per annum at the end of the first six months of fiscal 2021 from 7.52% per annum at the end of the first six months of fiscal 2020. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon. For additional details on our interest rate swaps, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, which consists primarily of the impact of foreign currency on intercompany transactions, decreased by $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $0.1 million of expense as compared to $0.4 million of expense in the prior year period.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we wrote-off $29.2 million of fees in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing that we recorded as an early extinguishment of debt charge, comprised of $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9.0 million of financing fees and $7.2 million of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount. For additional details on this refinancing, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt”.

Tax

Our effective tax rate in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was 42.3% as compared to 38.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2020. The tax expense for the first six months of fiscal 2021 was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the first six months of fiscal 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to FDII. The tax expense for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was impacted by an impairment of our Brazil reporting unit which had a full valuation allowance and tax reserves related to a foreign income tax audit, partially offset by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the first six months of fiscal 2020, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax expense related to GILTI, state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to the Company and (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Net loss attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was $9.4 million, which reflected a $17.3 million, or 217.9%, decrease from net income attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2020 of $7.9 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted net loss attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2021 by $4.6 million, net loss attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased 275.3% from net income attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Net loss attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2021 included a $21.8 million impact from the write-off of fees related to our April 2021 debt refinancing and an $8.0 million net impact from restructuring charges. Net income attributable to the Company in the first six months of fiscal 2020 included a $24.4 million impact from the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, an $8.3 million impact from restructuring charges and a $2.7 million impact from the goodwill impairment charge related to our Brazil reporting unit.

Diluted net loss per share in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was $0.14 compared to EPS of $0.11 in the first six months of fiscal 2020. Diluted net loss per share for the first six months of fiscal 2021 included a $0.31 impact from the write-off of fees related to our April 2021 debt refinancing and a $0.12 net impact from restructuring charges. EPS for the first six months of fiscal 2020 included a $0.35 impact from the Winfrey Stock Compensation expense, a $0.12 impact from restructuring charges and a $0.04 impact from the goodwill impairment charge related to our Brazil reporting unit.

North America Performance

The decrease in North America revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by both a decrease in Subscription Revenues and a decrease in product sales and other. The decrease in Subscription Revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by a decrease in Workshops + Digital Fees, partially offset by an increase in Digital Subscription Revenues. Workshops + Digital Fees were negatively impacted by both the lower number of Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers at the beginning of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period and the significant recruitment decline in the first six months of fiscal 2021 driven by the closure of certain of our studios and the limited reopening of others primarily related to the COVID-19 environment. The decrease in North America Total Paid Weeks in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was driven primarily by lower recruitments versus the prior year period due to the COVID-19 environment and cycling against the successful launch of the myWW program in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

The decrease in North America product sales and other in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by cycling against the revenue received in connection with the WW Presents: Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Continental Europe Performance

The increase in Continental Europe revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by the impact of foreign currency. Excluding foreign currency, Continental Europe revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 would have decreased versus the prior year period driven primarily by a decrease in Subscription Revenues. The decrease in Subscription Revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by a decrease in Workshops + Digital Fees, partially offset by an increase in Digital Subscription Revenues. Workshops + Digital Fees were negatively impacted by both the lower number of Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers at the beginning of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period and the significant recruitment decline in the first six months of fiscal 2021 driven by the closure of certain of our studios and the limited reopening of others primarily related to the COVID-19 environment. The increase in Continental Europe Total Paid Weeks in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by the higher number of Incoming Digital Subscribers at the beginning of fiscal 2021 versus the beginning of fiscal 2020.

The decrease in Continental Europe product sales and other in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by a decrease in in-studio product sales, partially offset by an increase in e-commerce product sales.

United Kingdom Performance

The decrease in UK revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by both a decrease in Subscription Revenues and a decrease in product sales and other. The decrease in Subscription Revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by a decrease in Workshops + Digital Fees, partially offset by an increase in Digital Subscription Revenues. Workshops + Digital Fees were negatively impacted by both the lower number of Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers at the beginning of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period and the significant recruitment decline in the first six months of fiscal 2021 driven by the closure of certain of our studios and the limited reopening of others primarily related to the COVID-19 environment. The decrease in UK Total Paid Weeks in the first six months of fiscal 2021 was driven primarily by lower recruitments versus the prior year period due to the COVID-19 environment and cycling against the successful launch of the myWW program in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

The decrease in UK product sales and other in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by a decrease in in-studio product sales.

Other Performance

The decrease in Other revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by a decrease in product sales and other. The decrease in Subscription Revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven by a decrease in Workshops + Digital Fees, partially offset by an increase in Digital Subscription Revenues. Workshops + Digital Fees were negatively impacted by both the lower number of Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers at the beginning of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period and the significant recruitment decline in the first six months of fiscal 2021 driven by the closure of certain of our studios and the limited reopening of others primarily related to the COVID-19 environment.

The decrease in Other product sales and other in the first six months of fiscal 2021 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by a decrease in franchise commissions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows provided by operating activities have historically supplied, and are expected to continue to supply, us with our primary source of liquidity. We use these cash flows, supplemented with long-term debt and short-term borrowings, to fund our operations and global strategic initiatives, pay down debt and engage in selective acquisitions. We currently believe that cash generated by operations, our cash on hand of approximately $125.6 million at July 3, 2021, our $173.8 million of availability under our New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) at July 3, 2021 and our continued cost focus will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for the next twelve months. In addition, if necessary, we have the flexibility to delay investments or reduce marketing spend.

We continue to proactively manage our liquidity so we can maintain flexibility to fund investments in our business, honor our long-term debt obligations, and respond to evolving business and consumer conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. To increase our flexibility and reduce our cash interest payments, we refinanced our then-existing credit facilities and then-existing senior notes in April 2021. See “—Long-Term Debt” for additional details on this refinancing. Additionally, we instituted a number of measures throughout our operations to mitigate expenses and reduce costs as well as ensure liquidity and the availability of our New Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with our continued focus on maintaining flexibility and exercising cost discipline, in the third quarter we revised our previously disclosed fiscal 2021 restructuring plan and now estimate this plan will cost approximately $22.0 million in fiscal 2021. The evolving nature, and uncertain economic impact, of COVID-19 may impact our liquidity going forward. To the extent that we do not successfully manage our costs, our liquidity and financial results, as well as our ability to access our New Revolving Credit Facility, may be adversely affected.

As market conditions warrant, we may, from time to time, seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Senior Secured Notes and borrowings under the New Credit Facilities (each as defined below). Such transactions could be privately negotiated or open market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing, or terms of, our indebtedness, any such purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet, the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt, the issuance of our equity or the sale of assets. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may equate to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, which may reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

The increase in prepaid income taxes was primarily due to an accrual of tax benefits from the pre-tax loss and tax windfalls from stock options exercised by Ms. Oprah Winfrey, each in the first six months of fiscal 2021. The decrease in derivative payable was due to a change in fair value driven by the change in interest rates. The decrease in income taxes payable was primarily due to foreign tax payments, partially offset by foreign tax accruals. The decrease in the portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year was due to the increase in lease terminations. The increase in operational liabilities and other, net of assets, which includes accrued salaries and wages, was driven primarily by declines in inventory balances due to seasonality and prepaid advertising due to seasonality and timing of payments, partially offset by a decline in accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended:

	July 3, 2021			June 27, 2020
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	38.3		$	47.5
Net cash used for investing activities	$	(30.8	)	$	(39.2	)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(46.1	)	$	(41.0	)

Operating Activities

First Six Months of Fiscal 2021

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $38.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021 reflected a decrease of $9.3 million from $47.5 million of cash flows provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a change in net (loss) income attributable to the Company of $17.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2020

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $47.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 reflected a decrease of $32.3 million from $79.8 million of cash flows provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a decrease in net income attributable to the Company of $35.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the prior year period.

Investing Activities

First Six Months of Fiscal 2021

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $30.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021, a decrease of $8.4 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in cash paid for acquisitions, in the first six months of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year period.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2020

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $39.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020, an increase of $15.6 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2020. In the first six months of fiscal 2020, we entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with ClassPass Inc. (“ClassPass”) and also invested $5.0 million in ClassPass’ $285.0 million Series E Preferred Stock funding round.

Financing Activities

First Six Months of Fiscal 2021

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $46.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to the April 13, 2021 payment in full of approximately $1.2 billion of borrowings under our then-existing credit facilities and redemption of all of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then-existing senior notes, as well as the payment in aggregate of $37.3 million of prepayment penalties, financing costs and debt discount in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, there was $19.3 million used for scheduled debt repayments under our then-existing term loan facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. These payments were partially offset by the proceeds received of $1,000.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under our New Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and proceeds received from the issuance of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing. See “—Long-Term Debt” for additional details on debt.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2020

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $41.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020 primarily due to $38.5 million used for scheduled debt repayments under our then-existing term loan facility. See “—Long-Term Debt” for additional details on debt.

Long-Term Debt

We currently plan to meet our long-term debt obligations by using cash flows provided by operating activities and opportunistically using other means to repay or refinance our obligations as we determine appropriate.

The following schedule sets forth our long-term debt obligations at July 3, 2021:

Long-Term Debt

At July 3, 2021

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

On April 13, 2021, we (1) repaid in full approximately $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under our then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our then-outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2025, or the Discharged Senior Notes. On April 13, 2021, our then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $175.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. We funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $1,000.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under our new credit facilities and proceeds received from the issuance of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, or the Senior Secured Notes. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the April 2021 debt refinancing. Our new credit facilities consist of a $1,000.0 million term loan facility and a $175.0 million revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) (collectively, as amended from time to time, referred to herein as the New Credit Facilities). During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we incurred fees of $37.9 million (which included $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $5.0 million of a debt discount on our New Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt write-off was comprised of $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9.0 million of financing fees paid in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing and $7.2 million of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount.

New Credit Facilities

The New Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 or, as amended from time to time, the New Credit Agreement, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., or Bank of America, as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The New Credit Facilities consist of (1) $1,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028, or the New Term Loan Facility, and (2) $175.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026, or the New Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 3, 2021, we had $1,000.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under our New Credit Facilities, with $173.8 million of availability and $1.2 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of July 3, 2021.

All obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of our current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including:

•

a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The New Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow;

•

100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the New Credit Agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the New Term Loan Facility. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, except (1) for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans under the New Credit Facilities and (2) during the six months following the Closing Date (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), with respect to certain voluntary prepayments or refinancings of the New Term Loan Facility that reduce the effective yield of the New Term Loan Facility, which will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium.

Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBOR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at our option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00% or (2) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero. As of July 3, 2021, the applicable margins for the LIBOR rate borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50% and 2.50%, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the New Credit Agreement provides that we and the administrative agent may amend the New Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the New Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If we fail to do so, our borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin.

On a quarterly basis, we pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon our Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility).

The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35% of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, we must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of, on or prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2022, 6.00:1.00, with a step down to 5.75:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2023, with an additional step down to 5.50:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2024, with a step down to 5.25:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including with first fiscal quarter of 2025 and again to 5.00:1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025.

Senior Secured Notes

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021, or, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the New Indenture, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The New Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions.

The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500% and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024, we may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125% on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000% on or after April 15, 2026. Prior to April 15, 2024, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, we must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, we must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date.

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee the New Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the New Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the New Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

Outstanding Debt

At July 3, 2021, we had $1,500.0 million outstanding under the New Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility of $1,000.0 million, $0.0 drawn down on the New Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding.

At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, our debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with our variable-rate borrowings. Further information regarding our interest rate swaps can be found in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 11 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.67% and 7.03% per annum at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 6.17% and 7.41% per annum at July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates.

The following schedule sets forth our year-by-year debt obligations at July 3, 2021:

At July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the cumulative balance of the effects of foreign currency translations, net of taxes, was a loss of $2.9 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

We do not currently pay a dividend and we have no current plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, after taking into account our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, the provisions of Virginia law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and such other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants in our existing indebtedness, including the New Credit Agreement governing the New Credit Facilities and the New Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, and may be limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur in the future.

On October 9, 2003, our Board of Directors authorized, and we announced, a program to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On each of June 13, 2005, May 25, 2006 and October 21, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized, and we announced, the addition of $250.0 million to this program. The repurchase program allows for shares to be purchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. No shares will be purchased from Artal Holdings Sp. z o.o., Succursale de Luxembourg and its parents and subsidiaries under this program. The repurchase program currently has no expiration date. During the six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, we repurchased no shares of our common stock under this program.

EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt

We define EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and Adjusted EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges (including the net impact where applicable) and goodwill impairment.

The table below sets forth the reconciliations for EBITDAS and Adjusted EBITDAS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, and EBITDAS and Adjusted EBITDAS to net income for the trailing twelve months ended July 3, 2021:

The “Adjusted EBITDAS” measure is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the three months ended July 3, 2021 to exclude the $29.2 million early extinguishment of debt, the $6.0 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.8 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges; adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the three months ended June 27, 2020 to exclude the $11.2 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges; adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the six months ended July 3, 2021 to exclude the $29.2 million early extinguishment of debt, the $11.6 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.8 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges; and adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the six months ended June 27, 2020 to exclude the $11.2 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges and the $3.7 million impairment charge for goodwill related to our Brazil reporting unit. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for an explanation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures.

Reducing leverage is a capital structure priority for the Company. As of July 3, 2021, our net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS ratio was 4.3x.

The table below sets forth the reconciliation for net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to total debt, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, for the six months ended:

(in millions)

	July 3, 2021
Total debt	$	1,500.0
Less: Unamortized deferred financing costs		13.9
Less: Unamortized debt discount		16.4
Less: Cash on hand		125.6
Net debt	$	1,344.2

Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

We present EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS because we consider them to be useful supplemental measures of our performance. In addition, we believe EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS are useful to investors, analysts and rating agencies in measuring the ability of a company to meet its debt service obligations. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” herein for an explanation of our use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in arrangements that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

SEASONALITY

Our business is seasonal due to the importance of the winter season to our overall member recruitment environment. Historically, we experience our highest level of recruitment during the first quarter of the year, which is supported with the highest concentration of advertising spending. Therefore, our number of End of Period Subscribers in the first quarter of the year is typically higher than the number in other quarters of the year, historically reflecting a decline over the course of the year.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Corporate information and our press releases, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments thereto, are available free of charge on our corporate website at corporate.ww.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (i.e., generally the same day as the filing), or the SEC. Moreover, we also make available at that site the Section 16 reports filed electronically by our officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders.

We use our corporate website at corporate.ww.com and certain social media channels such as our corporate Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WW), Instagram account (Instagram.com/WW) and Twitter account (@ww_us) as channels of distribution of Company information.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of July 3, 2021, the market risk disclosures appearing in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 as amended have not materially changed from January 2, 2021.

At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, borrowings under the New Credit Facilities bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. For the New Term Loan Facility, the minimum interest rate for LIBOR applicable to such facility pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement was set at 0.50%, referred to herein as the LIBOR Floor. In addition, as of July 3, 2021, our interest rate swaps in effect had an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million. Accordingly, as of July 3, 2021, based on the amount of variable rate debt outstanding and the then-current LIBOR rate, after giving consideration to the impact of the interest rate swaps and the LIBOR Floor, a hypothetical 90 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $4.5 million, driven primarily by the interest rate applicable to our New Term Loan Facility. A hypothetical 90 basis point decrease in interest rates would have resulted in no change to annual interest expense, driven primarily by the LIBOR Floor.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 3, 2021, the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
