Insights

Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges at WeightWatchers, with concerning metrics across multiple fronts. Revenue declined 10.2% to $192.9 million, while subscriber base dropped 8.8% to 3.7 million. The company posted an operating loss of $39 million, including a $57 million non-cash impairment charge.

The bright spot is the Clinical segment (formerly Sequence) showing 71.5% subscriber growth, contributing $19.1 million in revenues. Cost reduction initiatives yielded improved adjusted gross margins of 69.1%. However, the core Digital and Workshops businesses continue to struggle with declining recruitment and subscribers.

The liquidity position appears tight with only $57.2 million cash on hand, though the company maintains an undrawn credit facility. The reiterated full-year guidance suggesting revenue of at least $770 million will require strong Q4 execution given year-to-date performance.

  • End of Period Subscribers of 3.7 million
  • Revenues of $192.9 million
  • Gross margin of 67.1%; adjusted gross margin of 69.1%
  • Operating Loss of $39.0 million; adjusted operating income of $35.7 million

Q3 2024 Business and Financial Highlights

  • End of Period Subscribers in Q3 2024 were down 8.8% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in the Digital and Workshops + Digital businesses reflecting year to date recruitment declines. Q3 2024 End of Period Clinical Subscribers of 78 thousand increased 71.5% versus the prior year period.

  • Total Paid Weeks in Q3 2024 were down 7.4% versus the prior year period driven by declines in the Digital and Workshops + Digital businesses. Total Paid Weeks benefited from growth in Clinical Paid Weeks.

  • Revenues in Q3 2024 were $192.9 million. On a constant currency basis, Q3 2024 revenues decreased 10.6% versus the prior year period.

    • Subscription Revenues in Q3 2024 were $191.2 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 6.4% versus the prior year period primarily driven by lower recruitments and non-Clinical Incoming Subscribers. Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by the continued mix shift from the Workshops + Digital business to the Digital business and a higher mix of Digital Subscribers within their initial, lower-priced commitment periods. Subscription Revenues benefited from $19.1 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues, which increased 90.7% versus the prior year period.

    • Other Revenues in Q3 2024 were $1.6 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 85.7% versus the prior year period driven by the discontinuation of the consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023.

  • Gross Profit in Q3 2024 was $129.5 million, compared to $141.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit, which excluded the net impact of $3.8 million of restructuring charges, was $133.3 million. Adjusted gross profit in Q3 2023, which excluded the net impact of $0.4 million of restructuring charges, was $142.2 million.

    • Gross Margin in Q3 2024 was 67.1%, as compared to 66.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin in Q3 2024 was 69.1%, up from an adjusted gross margin of 66.2% in the prior year period, driven primarily by actions to reduce the fixed cost base within our business and the discontinuation of our lower margin consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023.

  • Non-Cash Intangible Impairment Charges: During Q3 2024, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of franchise rights acquired totaling $57.0 million. These impairments were primarily driven by an increase in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital reflecting market factors.

  • Operating Loss in Q3 2024 was $39.0 million, compared to operating income of $30.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income, which excluded $57.0 million of non-cash intangible impairment charges, the net impact of $13.8 million of restructuring charges, and $3.9 million of former CEO separation expenses, was $35.7 million. Adjusted operating income in Q3 2023, which excluded the net impact of $6.0 million of restructuring charges, was $36.6 million.

  • Income Tax Benefit in Q3 2024 was $27.3 million, which reflected the impact of an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate driven by a valuation allowance and small pretax loss reflected in the Company’s full year fiscal 2024 guidance. In the prior year period, income tax benefit was $38.4 million.

  • Net Loss in Q3 2024 was $46.2 million compared to net income of $43.7 million in the prior year period.

  • Diluted Net Loss per share in Q3 2024 was $0.58 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.54 in the prior year period. Q3 2024 adjusted earnings per share, which excluded $0.65 of non-cash intangible impairment charges, $0.13 of net impact of restructuring charges, and $0.04 of former CEO separation expenses, was $0.24. In the prior year period, adjusted earnings per share, which excluded $0.06 of net impact of restructuring charges, was $0.60.

    • Additionally, certain other items affected year-over-year comparability:
      • In Q3 2024, $0.33 per diluted share positive tax impact arising from an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate as a result of a valuation allowance and small pretax loss reflected in the Company’s full year fiscal 2024 guidance.
      • In Q3 2023, $0.54 per diluted share positive tax impact arising from an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate as a result of a valuation allowance and small pretax loss reflected in the Company’s full year fiscal 2023 guidance.

Other Items

  • Cash balance as of September 28, 2024 was $57.2 million. On that same date, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Full Year Fiscal 2024 Guidance

The Company is reiterating its following full year fiscal 2024 guidance:

  • Year end total subscribers of at least 3.1 million;
  • Revenue of at least $770.0 million; and
  • Excluding non-cash intangible impairment charges and the net impact of restructuring charges (both of which include Q3 2024 charges), and the Q3 2024 former CEO separation expenses,
    • Adjusted operating income of at least $100.0 million; and
    • Adjusted EBITDAS of at least $150.0 million.

Reflecting the Q3 2024 charges and expenses referred to above, the Company is updating its full year fiscal 2024 operating loss guidance to not exceed $240.4 million.

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

To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating (loss) income, operating (loss) income margin, diluted (net loss) earnings per share, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the third quarter of fiscal 2024 to exclude (x) the impact of impairment charges for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its United States and United Kingdom units of account, (y) the net impact of (a) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2024 restructuring plan (the “2024 plan”), (b) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”) or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2023 plan, as applicable and (c) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”), and (z) the impact of certain non-recurring expenses in connection with the separation from the Company of its former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”); (ii) the first nine months of fiscal 2024 to exclude (x) the impact of impairment charges for the Company's franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand units of account, (y) the net impact of charges associated with the 2024 plan, the 2023 plan and the 2022 plan, and (z) the impact of certain non-recurring expenses in connection with the separation of the Company's former CEO; (iii) the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to exclude the net impact of charges associated with the 2023 plan and the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan; and (iv) the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to exclude (x) the net impact of (a) charges associated with the 2023 plan, (b) charges associated with the 2022 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (c) charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”) or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (d) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”), and (y) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence. The Company generally refers to such non-GAAP measures as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired impairments, the net impact of restructuring charges, the impact of acquisition transaction costs, and the impact of former CEO separation expenses, 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, franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, net restructuring charges, acquisition transaction costs and former CEO separation expenses (“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. 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. A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year EBITDAS outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled 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.
