NEW YORK (October 29, 2020) – WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) today announced its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

“The world has profoundly changed and WW, being a human-focused technology company, is needed now more than ever,” said Mindy Grossman, the Company’s President and CEO. “We ended the quarter with 4.7 million subscribers, marking a new record for a third quarter close. We accelerated initiatives that were already underway to create a truly differentiated, tech-enabled, member experience. Building on the massive success of the myWW food program, we are thrilled for the upcoming launch of our newest innovation myWW+ which offers even deeper personalized insights and new app features to deliver an enriching and fully interactive member experience.”

Amy O’Keefe, the Company’s CFO, said, “The power of our high-margin digital subscription business is demonstrated in our Q3 results as year-over-year we grew total subscribers, matched operating income levels, and grew EPS, despite the negative impact of COVID-19 on our Studio business. We remain focused on maximizing member recruitment opportunities, while maintaining cost discipline and increasing the flexibility of our operating structure. We are confident we have the right initiatives in place to fuel profitability and growth.”

  ¡   

Service Revenues in Q3 2020 were $282.3 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 6.7% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in Studio + Digital Fees primarily as a result of fewer open studios and reduced operations related to COVID-19.

 

  ¡   

Product Sales and Other in Q3 2020 were $38.4 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 25.4% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in product sales primarily as a result of fewer open studios and reduced operations related to COVID-19.

 

   

Gross Profit in Q3 2020 was $190.1 million and adjusted gross profit in Q3 2020 was $191.2 million, which excluded $1.1 million in charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan. Gross profit in Q3 2019 was $194.8 million.

 

  ¡   

Gross Margin in Q3 2020 was 59.3%. Adjusted gross margin was 59.6%, up from 55.9% in the prior year period driven primarily by a mix shift to the Company’s higher margin Digital business.

  ¡   

Operating Income Margin for Q3 2020 was 28.9%. Adjusted operating income margin was 29.6%, an increase from 27.2% in the prior year period driven primarily by a mix shift to the Company’s higher margin Digital business as well as continued expense discipline.

 

   

Effective Tax Rate in Q3 2020 was 13.6%, versus 21.8% in the prior year period. The tax rate was lower in Q3 2020 primarily due to a $7.6 million discrete tax benefit related to the reversal of prior years’ global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, taxes that are no longer required.

$0.11 per fully diluted share benefit from the reversal of prior years’ tax expense related to GILTI.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and today’s scheduled conference call:

To supplement the Company’s consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross profit margin, operating income, operating income margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), with respect to the third quarter of fiscal 2020 to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan, and with respect to the first nine months of fiscal 2020 to exclude the impact of the impairment charge for the Company’s goodwill related to its Brazil operations, the impact of 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 and charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan, as applicable. The Company also presents in the attachments to this release the non-GAAP financial measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, 2020 restructuring charges and goodwill impairment (“Adjusted EBITDAS”), net debt, and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDAS ratio. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant

currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
