Fourth quarter fiscal 2010 net income was $48.9 million versus $18.7 million in the prior year period. Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) for Q4 2010 were $0.66 versus $0.24 in the prior year period.
Net income and EPS for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 were both impacted by certain items which affect year-over-year comparability. After adjusting for these items as described below, Q4 2010 net income increased 9.2% versus the prior year period and Q4 EPS increased 13.8% versus the prior year period.
| • | In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reversed to revenue an over-accrual of $2.0 million ($1.3 million after-tax), or $0.02 per fully diluted share, related to charges taken in Q2 2008 with respect to the Company’s previously reported adverse UK VAT ruling. Excluding this benefit from Q4 2010, net income was $47.6 million and EPS was $0.64 in Q4 2010. |
| • | In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a charge associated with periods prior to Q4 2009 of $35.6 million ($24.9 million after-tax), or $0.32 per fully diluted share, in connection with the Company’s previously reported adverse UK self-employment tax ruling. Excluding this prior period charge from the fourth quarter of 2009, net income was $43.6 million and EPS was $0.56 in Q4 2009. |

Fourth quarter 2010 revenues increased 15.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period, primarily driven by strong performance in both the WeightWatchers.com business and the North American meeting business. Compared to the prior year period, Q4 2010 total paid weeks rose 13.0%, with Online paid weeks increasing 33.2%. Attendance was down 0.8% globally versus the prior year period, with increased attendance in North America offset by decreases internationally.
Operating income for Q4 2010 was $96.3 million. After excluding the revenue benefit from Q4 2010 associated with the accrual reversal related to the Company’s adverse UK VAT ruling, and adjusting Q4 2009 operating income to add back charges for prior periods associated with the UK self-employment tax ruling, Q4 2010 operating income increased 11.0% on a constant currency basis.

The drivers of NACO’s Q4 2010 growth were the launch of the new PointsPlus™ program innovation in November 2010, continued strength of the new marketing campaign and continued strong Monthly Pass retention.

After excluding the revenue benefit from Q4 2010 associated with the accrual reversal related to the Company’s adverse UK VAT ruling, fourth quarter 2010 International meeting revenues were up 3.8% on a constant currency basis, with growth in the UK offsetting Continental Europe (CE) shortfalls.
| • | UK: After adjusting Q4 2010 UK meeting revenues for the VAT accrual reversal, fourth quarter 2010 UK meeting revenues increased 19.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period despite relatively flat meeting paid weeks and declining attendance of 11.3%. Q4 2010 volumes were adversely impacted by Q3 2010 recruitment shortfalls and weather in Q4 2010. However, strong in-meeting product sales in connection with the November launch of the new ProPoints® program innovation and higher pricing for meetings drove double-digit revenue growth in this market. |
| • | CE: Fourth quarter 2010 CE meeting revenues were down 8.7% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period primarily driven by declines in in-meeting product sales. Meeting paid weeks were relatively flat versus the prior year period, while attendance declined 14.6%. Weaker CE results were adversely affected by the competitive impact of a fad diet in France. |

Revenues for the full year 2010 were up 3.5% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year. The WeightWatchers.com business, which continued to strengthen throughout the year, and improved NACO meeting business performance in the last nine months of fiscal 2010 drove the revenue increase. Partially offsetting the revenue increase were first quarter revenue declines in the NACO meeting business and performance shortfalls in the UK meeting business.
Operating income for the full year 2010 was $390.3 million, up 9.8% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year. After excluding from fiscal 2010 results the revenue benefit associated with the accrual reversal related to the Company’s adverse UK VAT ruling, and adjusting fiscal 2009 operating income to add back charges for prior year periods associated with the UK self-employment tax ruling and restructuring charges associated with the Company’s previously reported cost saving initiatives, operating income for the full year 2010 declined 1.3% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year.
Full Year Fiscal 2011 Earnings Guidance
The Company provided full year 2011 earnings guidance of between $3.50 and $3.85 per fully diluted share.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:
To supplement the Company’s consolidated statement of operations presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Net income, operating income, International meeting revenues, UK meeting revenues and earnings per fully diluted share are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis): with respect to the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2010, to exclude the benefit of an accrual reversal related to charges taken in a prior year with respect to the Company’s previously reported adverse UK VAT ruling; with respect to the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2009, to exclude the impact of the previously reported adverse UK tax ruling relating to the self-employment status of the Company’s UK leaders for prior year periods; and, with respect to the full year of fiscal 2009, to exclude the impact of the restructuring charges associated with the Company’s previously reported cost savings initiatives. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. In this release and any attachments, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business. While management believes that these financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this release and reconciliations included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
