WEIGHT WATCHERS ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2015 RESULTS AND PROVIDES FULL YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE

NEW YORK, N.Y., February 25, 2016 – Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2015 and provided full year fiscal 2016 earnings guidance. Year-over-year comparability is impacted by the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2015 having 13 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively, and the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014 having 14 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively.

 

•

In Q4 2015, the Company successfully launched SmartPointsTM as part of its new, global Beyond the Scale program and announced its strategic partnership with Oprah Winfrey.

 

•

Q4 2015 revenues were $259.2 million. End of period active subscribers were down 4.8% for Q4 2015 versus the prior year period, an improvement from being down 12.7% for Q3 2015 versus the prior year period, reflecting strong recruitment growth following the early December global launch of the Company’s new program.

 

•

Q4 2015 earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) was a loss of $0.18; Q4 2015 adjusted EPS was a loss of $0.03, reflecting the exclusion of the $0.13 per fully diluted share impact of one-time transaction expenses associated with the Company entering into its previously disclosed partnership with Ms. Winfrey and the $0.01 per fully diluted share impact of restructuring charges.

 

•

Cash balance at fiscal year-end 2015 was $241.5 million.

 

•

Full year 2016 earnings guidance is between $0.70 and $1.00 per fully diluted share, which incorporates the increased share count resulting from the transaction with Ms. Winfrey.

“With the launch of Beyond the Scale and SmartPoints earlier this winter, we introduced an entirely new Weight Watchers program, which is resonating with consumers,” commented Jim Chambers, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The partnership with Oprah Winfrey is off to a strong start. Our transformation momentum is building, with positive recruitments this winter season setting a solid foundation for revenue growth and increased profitability.”

*Except in the case of the financials attached to this release, “Net (Loss) Income” refers to Net (Loss) Income attributable to Weight Watchers International, Inc.

Fourth quarter 2015 net loss was $11.3 million versus net income of $4.4 million in the prior year period. EPS for Q4 2015 was a loss of $0.18 versus income of $0.08 in the prior year period. In Q4 2015, foreign currency negatively impacted EPS by $0.02.

Q4 2015 net loss and EPS were impacted by two items that affect year-over-year comparability. First, the Company recorded one-time transaction expenses associated with entering into its partnership with Ms. Winfrey of $13.6 million ($8.3 million after tax or $0.13 per fully diluted share). Second, the Company incurred $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax or $0.01 per fully diluted share) of charges in connection with its previously disclosed 2015 restructuring plan. Excluding these two items, net loss would have been $2.2 million and EPS would have been a loss of $0.03 in Q4 2015.

Q4 2014 net income and EPS were negatively impacted by $1.0 million ($0.6 million after tax or $0.01 per fully diluted share) of charges in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed 2014 restructuring plan.

Q4 2015 total paid weeks were down 16.8% as compared to the prior year period, with an Online paid weeks decline of 16.4% and a meeting paid weeks decline of 17.3%. These declines were driven primarily by the lower active subscriber base at the start of Q4 2015, as well as the lower number of weeks in Q4 2015, versus the prior year period.

Fourth quarter 2015 operating income decreased 56.8% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. Excluding the $13.6 million of one-time transaction expenses associated with the Company entering into a partnership with Ms. Winfrey and the 2015 plan restructuring charges of $1.3 million from Q4 2015 and excluding the 2014 plan restructuring charges of $1.0 million from Q4 2014, Q4 2015 operating income would have decreased 23.3% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period.

Fourth quarter 2015 service revenues for North America were down 18.0% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period driven by an 18.8% decline in total paid weeks. These declines were driven in part by the lower number of weeks in Q4 2015 versus the prior year period. The lower active subscriber base at the start of the quarter versus the prior year period, partially offset by increased recruitments following the Company’s announcement of its partnership with Ms. Winfrey and the Company’s early December launch of its new program, also contributed to these declines.

See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this release for further detail on adjustments to GAAP financial measures.

*Except in the case of the financials attached to this release, “Net Income” refers to Net Income attributable to Weight Watchers International, Inc.

Fiscal 2015 net income was $32.9 million versus $117.8 million in the prior year. EPS for fiscal 2015 was $0.56 versus $2.08 in the prior year. In fiscal 2015, foreign currency negatively impacted EPS by $0.19. In addition, fiscal 2015 EPS was negatively impacted by $0.02 due to the increased share count resulting from Ms. Winfrey’s equity investment in the Company and related option grant.

Fiscal 2015 net income and EPS were impacted by three items that affect year-over-year comparability. First, the Company recorded one-time transaction expenses associated with entering into its partnership with Ms. Winfrey of $13.6 million ($8.3 million after tax or $0.14 per fully diluted share). Second, the Company recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $11.4 million ($7.0 million after tax or $0.12 per fully diluted share) for its previously disclosed debt prepayments. Third, the Company incurred $8.4 million ($5.1 million after tax or $0.09 per fully diluted share) of charges in connection with its 2015 restructuring plan. Excluding these three items, net income would have been $39.4 million and EPS would have been $0.67 in fiscal 2015.

Fiscal 2014 net income and EPS were impacted by three items that affect year-over-year comparability. First, the Company incurred $11.8 million ($7.2 million after tax or $0.13 per fully diluted share) of charges in connection with its 2014 restructuring plan. Second, the Company recorded a gain of $10.5 million ($6.4 million after tax or $0.11 per fully diluted share) recognized in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed Brazil acquisition due to an adjustment of its previously held equity interest to fair value offset by a charge associated with the settlement of the royalty-free arrangement of its Brazilian partnership. Third, the Company recorded a $2.4 million net tax benefit ($0.04 per fully diluted share) related to an intercompany loan write-off in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed closure of its China business partially offset by the recognition of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are not expected to be realized. Excluding these three items, net income would have been $116.3 million and EPS would have been $2.05 in fiscal 2014.

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 (loss) income, earnings per fully diluted share, operating income and operating income margin, gross profit and gross profit margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, as follows: (i) with respect to the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2015, to exclude the impact of (a) one-time transaction expenses associated with the Company entering into its previously disclosed partnership with Ms. Winfrey and (b) charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2015 plan to restructure its organization; (ii) with respect to the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014, to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2014 plan to restructure its organization; (iii) with respect to the full year fiscal 2015, to exclude the impact from the gains on early extinguishment of debt associated with the Company’s previously reported debt prepayments in the year; and (iv) with respect to the full year fiscal 2014, to exclude the impact of (a) the net tax benefit associated with an intercompany loan write-off in connection with the closure of the Company’s China business and the establishment of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are not expected to be realized and (b) the gain recognized in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed Brazil acquisition due to an

adjustment of the Company’s previously held equity interest to fair value offset by a charge associated with the settlement of the royalty-free arrangement of the Brazil partnership. 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, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
