WEIGHT WATCHERS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

NEW YORK, N.Y., October 29, 2014 – Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) today announced its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and updated its full year fiscal 2014 earnings guidance. Third quarter 2014 results include:

 

    Revenues of $345.2 million, down 12.9% versus the prior year period, with total paid weeks down 12.4%

 

    Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) were $0.67

 

    Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $76 million, and $221 million year-to-date, with a cash balance of $327 million at the end of the third quarter

“While our Q3 financial results were substantially below 2013 levels, they reflect a slight improvement in our topline trends and demonstrate continued cost discipline,” commented Jim Chambers, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Turning around recruitment declines remains our top priority for 2015. To do this, we are focusing on the upcoming launches of our new offerings and the repositioning of our brand.”

Third quarter 2014 revenues decreased 13.5% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in North America. Q3 2014 total paid weeks were down 12.4% as compared to the prior year period, with an Online paid weeks decline of 12.6% and meeting paid weeks decline of 12.2%. These declines were driven by lower active subscriber bases at the start of the quarter for both Monthly Pass and Online and lower recruitments versus the prior year period.

Third quarter 2014 operating income decreased 27.2% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. Excluding the Q3 2014 $0.7 million of restructuring charges, Q3 2014 operating income decreased 26.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. The operating income decline was driven primarily by lower revenues in North America.

Third quarter 2014 service revenues for the North America business were down 17.2% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period driven by a 16.9% decline in total paid weeks. The paid weeks decline was driven by lower Monthly Pass and Online active subscriber bases at the start of the quarter and lower recruitments as compared to the prior year period. As has been the case throughout 2014, the North America business continued to face strong competition for consumer trial from an evolving competitor set, including mobile apps and activity monitors, during the third quarter 2014.

Third quarter 2014 service revenues for the UK business were down 9.5% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period driven by an 8.6% decline in total paid weeks. The paid weeks decline was driven by lower Monthly Pass and Online active subscriber bases at the start of the quarter, partially offset by an increase in third quarter 2014 recruitments, as compared to the prior year period.

Third quarter 2014 service revenues for the Continental Europe (CE) business were up 0.1% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. Total paid weeks increased by 1.0%, driven by a 3.8% increase in Online paid weeks. Service revenue was negatively impacted by a 3.9% paid weeks decline in the meetings business. The increase in total paid weeks was primarily driven by the higher active Online subscriber base at the beginning of the quarter and increased Online recruitments compared to the prior year period, which more than offset a lower Monthly Pass starting active base and lower recruitments in the meetings business compared to the prior year period.

Full Year Fiscal 2014 Earnings Guidance

The Company raised its full year fiscal 2014 adjusted earnings guidance to between $1.95 and $2.05 per fully diluted share compared to its previously provided adjusted earnings guidance of between $1.65 and $1.85 per fully diluted share. The Company’s full year 2014 earnings guidance incorporates the fact that fiscal 2014 includes a 53rd week, which bridges the last week of December 2014 and the first week of January 2015 and has an expected negative $0.04 per share impact on the full year EPS. Excluded from the above earnings guidance are the following items: the one-time gain of $0.11 per share associated with the Weight Watchers Brazil acquisition, the anticipated full year, aggregate charges of approximately $0.12 per share in connection with the Company’s organizational restructuring and the net tax benefit of $0.04 per share associated with the closure of the Company’s China business and the establishment of a valuation allowance.

Third Quarter 2014 Conference Call

The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. During the conference call, Jim Chambers, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nick Hotchkin, Chief Financial Officer, and Lesya Lysyj, President, North America, will discuss third quarter 2014 results and answer questions from the investment community. Live audio of the conference call will be simultaneously webcast over the Internet on the Company’s corporate website, www.weightwatchersinternational.com. A replay of the webcast will be available on this site for approximately 90 days.

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 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. Net income, earnings per fully diluted share and operating income with respect to the third quarter of fiscal 2014 are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis) to exclude the impact of expenses associated with the Company’s previously disclosed restructuring of its organization. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS) is presented in the attachments to this release. 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
