1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WW International, Inc. and, all of its subsidiaries.subsidiaries and the variable interest entities of which WW International, Inc. is the primary beneficiary (as discussed below). The terms “Company” and “WW” as used throughout these notes are used to indicate WW International, Inc. and all of its operations consolidated for purposes of its financial statements. The Company’s “Digital” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s digital product offerings, including Personal Coaching + Digital andwhich formerly included Digital 360 as applicable.(as applicable). The Company’s “Workshops + Digital” business refers to providing unlimited access to the Company’s workshops combined with the Company’s digital subscription product offerings to commitment plan subscribers, including former Digital 360 members as applicable.(as applicable). It also includesformerly included the provision of access to workshops for members who dodid not subscribe to commitment plans, includingwhich included the Company’s “pay-as-you-go” members. The Company’s “Clinical” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s clinical product offerings included in its Sequence (as defined below) program. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company ceased offering its Digital 360 product. More than a majority of associated members were transitioned from the Company’s Digital business to its Workshops + Digital business during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, with a de minimis number transitioning during the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The cessation of this product offering and these transitions of former Digital 360 members at the then-current pricing for such product impacted the number of End of Period Subscribers in each business as well as the associated Paid Weeks and Revenues for each business.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity. The consolidated financial statements include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries. All entities acquired, and any entity of which a majority interest was acquired, are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments including those of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the interim results presented.

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex, involve judgment, and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available information. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, such entity is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change.

The Company operates certain clinical telehealth groups which are deemed to be Friendly-Physician Entities (“FPEs”) and due to legal requirements, the physician-owners must retain 100% of the equity interest. The Company’s agreements with FPEs generally consist of both an Administrative Service Agreement, which provide for various administrative and management services to be provided by the Company to the FPE, and Stock Transfer Restriction (“STR”) agreements with the physician-owners of the FPEs, which provide for the transition of ownership interest of the FPEs under certain conditions. The Company has the right to receive income as an ongoing management fee, which effectively absorbs all of the residual interests and can also provide financial support through loans to the FPEs. The Company has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including technology and intellectual property required for the day-to-day operation and management of each of the FPEs. In addition, the STR provides that the Company has the right to designate a person(s) to purchase the equity interest of the FPE for a nominal amount in the event of a succession event at the Company’s discretion. Based on the provisions of these agreements, the Company determined that the FPEs are VIEs due to its equity holder having insufficient capital at risk, and the Company has a variable interest in the FPEs.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

The contractual arrangements described above allow Sequence to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the FPEs. Accordingly, Sequence is the primary beneficiary of the FPEs and consolidates the FPEs under the VIE model. Furthermore, as a direct result of nominal initial equity contributions by the physicians, the financial support the Company can provide to the FPEs (e.g., loans) and the provisions of the contractual arrangements and nominee shareholder succession arrangements described above, the interests held by noncontrolling interest holders lack economic substance and do not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the FPEs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the FPEs are consolidated by the Company. The Company does not hold interests in any VIEs for which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to income tax errors resulting primarily from the reversal of (i) a basis difference related to goodwill and other intangibles and (ii) a U.S. federal income tax receivable that should have been adjusted in prior fiscal years. The impact of correcting these errors, which werewas immaterial to prior period financial statements and corrected in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, resulted in an income tax benefit of $2,150 and decreased net loss by $2,150 for the ninethree and six months ended October 1,July 2, 2022.

With respect to the Company’s previously announced change in segment reporting, segment data for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 has been updated to reflect the new reportable segment structure. See Notes 4 and 14 for disclosures related to segments.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 20212022 filed on March 1, 2022,6, 2023, which includes additional information about the Company, its results of operations, its financial position and its cash flows.

2.
Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year

In October 2021,There were no new accounting standards adopted during the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to (i) recognition of an acquired contract liability and (ii) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this update require an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after its effective date. On January 2, 2022, the Company early adopted this updated guidance on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.six months ended July 1, 2023.

Franchise Rights Acquired

Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require.

In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for franchise rights related to the Company’s Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for franchise rights related to the Company’s Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for these franchise rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for those franchisethese rights. The Company has determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada,Australia, United Kingdom Australia and New Zealand as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date were $400,092374,353, $19,3424,137, $10,061, $5,7532,799 and $2,1412,350, respectively.

In its hypothetical start-up approach analysis for fiscal 2022,2023, the Company assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, the Company estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach analysis for fiscal 2022,2023, the cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Goodwill

In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. TheExcluding the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sequence, the Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill, excluding the acquisition of Sequence, in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date were $104,019104,020, $38,75940,463 and $13,37712,535, respectively.

ForIn performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of the Company’s reporting units, tested as of May 8, 2022, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test

The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed its annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 20227, 2023 and May 9, 2021,8, 2022, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill.

In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 7, 2023, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account and goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022, the Company determined that (i) the carrying amounts of its Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, the Company recorded impairment charges for its Canada and New Zealand units of account of $24,485 and $834, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022; and (ii) the carrying amounts of all of its other franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect thereto. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 9, 2021, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022, and May 9, 2021, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed.

When determining fair value, the Company utilizes various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, the Company would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. The Company would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on its balance sheet.

Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 20227, 2023 annual franchise rights acquired impairment testanalysis performed for all of its United States unitunits of account, which heldall units, except for New Zealand, had an estimated fair value at least 92.770% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these units of account represented 99.4% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 20221, 2023 balance sheet date. Based on the results of the Company’s May 7, 2023 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its New Zealand unit of account, which held 0.6% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 1, 2023 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 1520%. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its Canada and New Zealand units of account, which held 4.6 % and 0.5%, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. The above difference or lack thereof between the estimated fair value of the applicable unit of account and its carrying value is referred to herein as the “Annual Impairment Headroom”. As previously disclosed,Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand couldunit of account may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values werevalue was $698,3832,350, $34,556 and $3,574, respectively, as of July 2, 2022. Based on1, 2023.

In performing the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its remaining unitsfiscal 2023, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of account, which collectively held maturity, it assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of (2.237.1%) to (18.4%) in the year of maturity from fiscal 2022, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.8%. For the year of maturity and beyond, the Company assumed operating income margin rates of (6.4%) to 12.7%. In the Company’s relief from royalty approach, it assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of (14.8%) to 7.5% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account exceeded their respective carrying values by over for fiscal 2023.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 20227, 2023 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for all of its reporting units, all units, except for the Republic of Ireland, had an estimated fair value at least 35120% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these reporting units represented 97.499.0% of the Company’s total goodwill as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 20227, 2023 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit, which holdsheld 2.61.0% of the Company’s goodwill as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 1455%. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the Republic of Ireland may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the goodwill related to the Republic of Ireland, for which the net book value was $4,0092,381 as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022.2023.

The following are the more significant assumptions utilized in the Company's annual goodwill impairment analyses for fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022:

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test

During the quarter ended October 1, 2022, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively, when combined with the Annual Impairment Headroom discussed above for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, indicated a triggering event had occurred within these units of account. These factors included actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in its annual impairment test, the continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test of these units of account. In performing this interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its United States, Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges for its United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account of $298,291, $13,312 and $1,138, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The preponderance of these impairments was driven by the increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test of its indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company's equity and debt.

When determining fair value, the Company utilizes various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, the Company would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. The Company would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on its balance sheet.

Based on the results of the Company’s October 1, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, which hold 91.5%, 4.4% and 0.5%, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $400,092, $19,342 and $2,141, respectively, as of October 1, 2022.

On August 10, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Kurbo Health, Inc., a family-based healthy lifestyle coaching program, for a net purchase price of $3,063, of which $1,101 was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was deductible annually for tax purposes. The Company determined in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to exit the Kurbo business in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as part of its strategic plan. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,101 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which comprised the entire goodwill balance for Kurbo.

On April 13, 2021, the Company (1) repaid in full approximately $1,189,750 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under its then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “Discharged Senior Notes”). On April 13, 2021, the Company’s then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. The Company funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $1,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its new credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities”) and proceeds received from the issuance of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), each as described below. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the “April 2021 debt refinancing”. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company incurred fees of $37,910 (which included $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $5,000 of a debt discount on its Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29,169 in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt charge was comprised of $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9,017 of financing fees paid in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing and the write-off of $7,213 of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount.

Credit Facilities

The Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The Credit Facilities consist of (1) $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

In December 2021, the Company made voluntary prepayments at par in an aggregate amount of $52,500 in respect of its outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of these prepayments, the Company wrote off a debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1,183 in the aggregate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the Company had $945,000 in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, with $173,911173,921 of availability and $1,0891,079 in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.Facility subject to its terms and conditions as discussed below.

a pledge of 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such first-tier non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and
a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow;
100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and
100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the Term Loan Facility. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities at any time without penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBORTerm SOFR loans under the Credit Facilities.

In June 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, the Company amended its Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement, which will be calculated to include a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448%, 0.26161%, 0.42826%, or 0.71513% for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months period, respectively, in addition to the Term SOFR Screen Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the margin (which was not amended).

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBORTerm SOFR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00% or (2) a LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero. As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the applicable margins for the LIBORTerm SOFR rate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50% and 2.75%, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company and the administrative agent may amend the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If the Company fails to do so, its borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin.

On a quarterly basis, the Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt, amendments of material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, changes to lines of business and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default.

The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35% of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, the Company must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of 5.75:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2023, with a step down to 5.50:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2024, with an additionala step down to 5.25:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2025, and againan additional step down to 5.00:1.00 for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025. As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the Company’s actual Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio was 4.997.48:1.00 and there were no borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and total letters of credit issued were $1,0891,079. The Company expects it maywas not be able to satisfyin compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio in the near future,as of July 1, 2023, and as a result, the Company is limited to borrowing no more than 35%, or $61,250, of the amount of funds the Company is able to borrowaggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility would be effectively limited.as of each fiscal quarter end until the Company complies with the applicable ratio.

Senior Secured Notes

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions.

The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500% and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125% on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000% on or after April 15, 2026. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date.

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

Outstanding Debt

At OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the Company had $1,445,000 outstanding under the Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of $945,000, $0 drawn down on the Revolving Credit Facility and $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding.

At OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, the Company’s debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. See Note 11 for information on the Company’s interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 4.987.35% and 5.115.45% per annum at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.286.37% and 5.625.50% per annum at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates.

Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 were (25.61,740.0%) and (40.4%), respectively, compared to 38.4% and 25.626.7% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. In fiscal 2023, the Company was required to increase the valuation allowance recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of the limitation on interest deductions in the U.S. The forecasted full-year tax expense, which included the increase in valuation allowance, in relation to the Company’s forecasted full-year pretax loss (albeit minimal), respectively. drove an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate. Applying this negative annual effective tax rate to the pretax loss for the six months ended July 1, 2023 resulted in an income tax expense of $19,515. This tax charge resulted in an income tax benefit of $48,066 for the three months ended July 1, 2023, since an income tax expense of $67,580 was recorded for the three months ended April 1, 2023.

For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 1, 2023, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance noted above. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”). For the six months ended July 2, 2022, the tax benefit was impactedprimarily driven by a tax benefit recorded for out-of-period income tax adjustments, and a U.S. state tax rate change,which was partially offset by tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. For the ninesix months ended October 1,July 2, 2022, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits related to FDII and out-of-period income tax adjustments, partially offset by state income tax expense, and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions partially offset by aand tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 were 22.4% and 14.9%, respectively. For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the tax expense was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation and the reversal of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now expected to be realized. For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expenseshortfalls from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to FDII.

The U.S. federal government has recently signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) which, among other things, imposes a minimum “book” tax on certain large corporations and creates a new excise tax on stock repurchases made by certain publicly traded corporations after December 31, 2022. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the IRA on its consolidated financial statements as it awaits further guidance, the Company does not currently expect a material impact.compensation.

Non-Income Tax Matters

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) notified the Company of certain penalties assessed related to the annual disclosure and reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The Company is in the process of appealing this determination and does not believe it has any liability with respect to this matter. Until the appeals process is complete, the IRS will maintain a federal tax lien which is currently limited to certain IRS refunds due to the Company.

Legal

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, it is, at times, subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of any such matters is not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.

11.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging

In June 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swap agreements to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on Term SOFR in place of LIBOR. Since the interest rate swap agreements were affected by reference rate reform, the Company applied the expedients and exceptions provided to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. All amendments to interest rate swap agreements were executed with the existing counterparties and did not change the notional amounts, maturity dates, or other critical terms of the hedging relationships.

As of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, the Company had in effect interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $500,000.

On June 11, 2018, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2018 swap”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The initial notional amount of this swap was $500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $250,000 on March 31, 2021. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 3.10053.1513%. On June 7, 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2019 swap”, and together with the 2018 swap, the “current swaps”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The notional amount of this swap is $250,000. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.9011.9645%. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of OctoberJuly 1, 2023, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $7,967 ($10,472 before taxes). As of December 31, 2022, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $9,93210,723 ($13,12714,146 before taxes). As of January 1, 2022, the cumulative unrealized loss for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $10,843 ($14,622 before taxes).

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

WW INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

When measuring fair value, the Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s significant financial instruments include long-term debt and interest rate swap agreements as of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022. Since there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, the fair value approximated a carrying value of $0 at both OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022.

The fair value of the Company’s Credit Facilities is determined by utilizing average bid prices on or near the end of each fiscal quarter (Level 2 input). As of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $922,092906,567 and $1,389,306782,384, respectively, as compared to the carrying value (net of deferred financing costs and debt discount) of $1,421,2391,424,374 and $1,418,1041,422,284, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values for the Company’s derivative financial instruments are determined using observable current market information such as the prevailing LIBORTerm SOFR interest rate and LIBORTerm SOFR yield curve rates and include consideration of counterparty credit risk. See Note 11 for disclosures related to derivative financial instruments.

Segment Data

As previously disclosed, effective the first day of fiscal 2023 (i.e., January 1, 2023), the Company realigned its organizational structure and resources to more closely align with its strategic priorities and centralized the global management of certain functions and systems. As a result of the change in its organizational structure, the Company now has two reportable segments, consisting of North America and International, for the purpose of making operational and resource decisions and assessing financial performance. “North America” refers to the Company’s North American Company-owned operations and franchise revenues and related costs; and “International” refers to the Company’s Continental Europe Company-owned operations, United Kingdom Company-owned operations, and Australia, New Zealand and emerging markets operations. The new reportable segments will continue to provide similar services and products. To be consistent with the information that is presented to the chief operating decision maker, the Company does not include intercompany activity in the segment results. Segment information for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 presented below has been updated to reflect the new reportable segment structure.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or GAAP,(“GAAP”), we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross profit margin, operating (loss) income (loss), operating income (loss) income margin and components thereof are discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the thirdsecond quarter and first six months of fiscal 20222023 to exclude (a) the impact of the impairment charges for our franchise rights acquired related to our United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account and (b) the net impact of (w) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”), (x) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”) andor the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (y) charges associated with our 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 (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”) and (b) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (as defined below); (ii) the first nine monthssecond quarter of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for our franchise rights acquired related to our United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account and the impairment charge for our goodwill related to our wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc. (“Kurbo”) and (b) the net impact of (x) charges associated with the 2022 plan and (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan; and (iii) the first six months of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the impact of impairment charges for our franchise rights acquired related to our Canada and New Zealand units of account and the impairment charge for our goodwill related to Kurbo, and (b) the net impact of (x) charges associated with the 2022 plan, (y) charges associated with the 2021 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2021 plan, as applicable, and (z) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”); and (iii) the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 to exclude the net impact of (x) charges associated with the 2021 plan and (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2020 plan. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as follows: (i) with respect to the adjustments for the thirdsecond quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022,2023, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of the franchise rights acquired impairments and the net impact of restructuring charges;charges and the impact of acquisition transaction costs; and (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the second quarter and first ninesix months of fiscal 2022, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and the net impact of restructuring charges; and (iii) with respect to the adjustments for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges. We also present within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, and early extinguishmentcertain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of debt with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed April 2021 debt refinancing and voluntary debt prepaymentsSequence (“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. Adjusted EBITDAS for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as presented herein was recast to reflect certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt” for the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in each case. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of our business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of our business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our 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 entitled measures reported by other companies.

USE OF CONSTANT CURRENCY

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe in certain cases the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we calculate constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding or adjusting for the impact of foreign currency or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered in isolation. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Franchise Rights Acquired

Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require.

In performing the impairment analysis for our indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for our franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach for our franchise rights related to our Workshops + Digital business and a relief from royalty methodology for our franchise rights related to our Digital business. The aggregate estimated fair value for these franchise rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for those franchisethese rights. We have determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in both the Workshops + Digital business and the Digital business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred. The net book values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada,Australia, United Kingdom Australia and New Zealand as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date were $400.1$374.4 million, $19.3$4.1 million, $10.1 million, $5.8$2.8 million and $2.1$2.3 million, respectively.

In our hypothetical start-up approach analysis for fiscal 2022,2023, we assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity, we estimated future cash flows for the Workshops + Digital business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. In our relief from royalty approach analysis for fiscal 2022,2023, the cash flows associated with the Digital business in each country were based on the expected Digital revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. The cash flows for the Workshops + Digital and the Digital businesses were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Goodwill

In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for our reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. WeExcluding the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sequence, we have determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill, excluding the acquisition of Sequence, in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 balance sheet date were $104.0 million, $38.8$40.5 million and $13.4$12.5 million, respectively.

ForIn performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of our reporting units, tested as of May 8, 2022, we estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. We utilized operating income as the basis for measuring our potential growth because we believe it is the best indicator of the performance of our business. We then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment TestTests

We review indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. We performed our annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 20227, 2023 and May 9, 2021,8, 2022, each the first day of fiscal May, on our indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill.

In performing our annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022, we determined that (i) the carrying amounts of our Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, we recorded impairment charges for our Canada and New Zealand units of account of $24.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022; and (ii) the carrying amounts of all of our other franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed with respect thereto. In performing our annual impairment analysis as of May 9, 2021, we determined that the carrying amounts of our franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed. In performing our annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, we determined that the carrying amounts of our goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed.

When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, revenue growth rates, operating income margins and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, we would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. We would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on our balance sheet. We continue to evaluate these assumptions and believe that these assumptions are appropriate.

In performing our annual impairment analysis, we also considered the trading value of both our equity and debt. If the trading values of both our equity and debt were to significantly decline from their levels at the time of testing, we may have to take an impairment charge at the appropriate time, which could be material. For additional information on risks associated with our recognizing asset impairment charges, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021.2022.

Based onFurther information regarding the results of our May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for our United States unit of account, which held 92.7% of our franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair valueand goodwill annual impairment tests can be found in Part I, Item 1 of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 15%. BasedQuarterly Report on the results of our May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for our CanadaForm 10-Q under Note 6 “Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and New Zealand units of account, which held 4.6% and 0.5%, respectively, of our franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. The above difference or lack thereof between the estimated fair value of the applicable unit of account and its carrying value is referred to herein as the Annual Impairment Headroom. As previously disclosed, a changeOther Intangible Assets” in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand could change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired relatedNotes to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $698.4 million, $34.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, as of July 2, 2022. Based on the results of our May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for our remaining units of account, which collectively held 2.2% of our franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account exceeded their respective carrying values by over 100%.

In performing this annual impairment analysis for fiscal 2022, in our hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, we assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of 23.0% to 106.2% in the year of maturity from fiscal 2021, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.4%. For the year of maturity and beyond, we assumed operating income margin rates of (3.0%) to 8.8%. In our relief from royalty approach, we assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of (25.6%) to 16.1% for fiscal 2022.

Based on the results of our May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for all of our reporting units, all units, except for the Republic of Ireland, had an estimated fair value at least 35% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these reporting units represented 97.4% of our total goodwill as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date. Based on the results of our May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for our Republic of Ireland reporting unit, which holds 2.6% of our goodwill as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 14%. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the Republic of Ireland may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the goodwill related to the Republic of Ireland, for which the net book value was $4.0 million as of October 1, 2022.

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test

During the quarter ended October 1, 2022, we identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively, when combined with the Annual Impairment Headroom discussed above for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, indicated a triggering event had occurred within these units of account. These factors included actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in our annual impairment test, the continued decline in our market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, we performed an interim impairment test of these units of account. In performing this interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022, we determined that the carrying amounts of our United States, Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges for our United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account of $298.3 million, $13.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The preponderance of these impairments was driven by the increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test of 13.4% as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test of its indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired of 9.6%, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of our equity and debt.

When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying amounts and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, we would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. We would also be required to reduce the carrying amounts of the related assets on our balance sheet. We continue to evaluate these assumptions and believe that these assumptions are appropriate.

In performing this interim impairment analysis, in our hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, we assumed Workshops + Digital revenue (comprised of Workshops + Digital Fees and revenues from products sold to members in studios) growth of 20.2% to 57.6% in the year of maturity from fiscal 2021, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 2.5%. For the year of maturity and beyond, we assumed operating income margin rates of 2.3% to 8.8%. In our relief from royalty approach, we assumed Digital revenue growth in each country of (21.5%) to 1.6% for fiscal 2022.

Based on the results of our October 1, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for our United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, which hold 91.5%, 4.4% and 0.5%, respectively, of our franchise rights acquired as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $400.1 million, $19.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as of October 1, 2022.

Any impairment test is highly dependent on the assumptions used. The most significant assumptions used in the interim impairment test discussed above were the discount rate applied and the Digital revenue growth rates. We applied a discount rate of 13.4% based on our actual weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. We projected Digital revenues based upon our current and past performance. Changes in these assumptions would have a significant impact on the valuation model. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in our discount rate assumption would decrease the fair values of the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account by approximately 5.5%, 5.4% and 4.2%, respectively, which would result in additional impairment charges. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 1% reduction in projected Digital revenues for each year in the analysis would decrease the fair values of the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account by approximately 0.9%, 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively, which would also result in additional impairment charges.

Kurbo Goodwill Impairment

On August 10, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Kurbo Health, Inc., a family-based healthy lifestyle coaching program, for a net purchase price of $3.1 million, of which $1.1 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was deductible annually for tax purposes. We determined in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to exit the Kurbo business in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as part of our strategic plan. As a result of this determination, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which comprised the entire goodwill balance for Kurbo.Consolidated Financial Statements.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Our management team regularly reviews and analyzes a number of financial and operating metrics, including the key performance indicators listed below, in order to manage our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and assess the quality and potential variability of our cash flows and earnings. We also believe that these key performance indicators are useful to both management and investors for forecasting purposes and to facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results. These metrics are supplemental to our GAAP results and include operational measures.

Revenues—Our “Subscription Revenues” consist of “Digital Subscription Revenues” and, “Workshops + Digital Fees” and “Clinical Subscription Revenues”. “Digital Subscription Revenues” consist of the fees associated with subscriptions for our Digital offerings, including Personal Coaching + Digital andwhich formerly included Digital 360 as applicable.(as applicable). “Workshops + Digital Fees” consist of the fees associated with our subscription plans for combined workshops and digital offerings and other payment arrangements for access to workshops. “Clinical Subscription Revenues” consist of the fees associated with subscriptions for our Clinical offerings. In addition, “product sales and other” consists of sales of consumer products via e-commerce, in studios and through our trusted partners, revenues from licensing and publishing, other revenues, and, in the case of the consolidated financial results and Otherthe North America reportable segment, franchise fees with respect to commitment plans and royalties.

32


Paid Weeks—The “Paid Weeks” metric reports paid weeks by WW customers in Company-owned operations for a given period as follows: (i) “Digital Paid Weeks” is the total paid subscription weeks for our digital subscription products, (including Personal Coaching + Digital andwhich formerly included Digital 360 as(as applicable); (ii) “Workshops + Digital Paid Weeks” is the sum of total paid commitment plan weeks which include workshops and digital offerings and formerly included total “pay-as-you-go” weeks; (iii) “Clinical Paid Weeks” is the total paid subscription weeks for our Clinical subscription products; and (iii)(iv) “Total Paid Weeks” is the sum of Digital Paid Weeks, and Workshops + Digital Paid Weeks and Clinical Paid Weeks.
Incoming Subscribers—“Subscribers” refer to Digital subscribers, and Workshops + Digital subscribers and Clinical subscribers who participate in recurrecurring bill programs in Company-owned operations. The “Incoming Subscribers” metric reports WW subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period start as follows: (i) “Incoming Digital Subscribers” is the total number of Digital, including Personal Coaching + Digital andformer Digital 360 (as applicable), subscribers; (ii) “Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers” is the total number of commitment plan subscribers that have access to combined workshops and digital offerings; and (iii) “Incoming Subscribers” is the sum of Incoming Digital Subscribers and Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers. Given we completed our acquisition of Sequence in April 2023 after the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we have no incoming subscribers with respect to our Clinical business for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and the first six months of fiscal 2023. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric.
End of Period Subscribers—The “End of Period Subscribers” metric reports WW subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period end as follows: (i) “End of Period Digital Subscribers” is the total number of Digital, including Personal Coaching + Digital andformer Digital 360 (as applicable), subscribers; (ii) “End of Period Workshops + Digital Subscribers” is the total number of commitment plan subscribers that have access to combined workshops and digital offerings; (iii) “End of Period Clinical Subscribers” is the total number of Clinical subscribers; and (iii)(iv) “End of Period Subscribers” is the sum of End of Period Digital Subscribers, and End of Period Workshops + Digital Subscribers and End of Period Clinical Subscribers. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The novel coronavirus (including its variants, COVID-19) pandemic continues to evolve and have unpredictable impacts on consumer sentiment and behavior, which in turn have impacted and may impact our business performance and operations. We have seen significant shifts in consumer sentiment with respect to the weight loss and wellness marketplace, which we believe in part is attributable to the evolution of the pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant effect on our recruitments starting in March 2020. Our Workshops + Digital recruitments were substantially negatively impacted during the first year of the pandemic. While Digital recruitments were strong in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a subsequent turn in consumer sentiment drove a decline in Digital recruitments. Given the long-term subscription model of our business, these declines in recruitment continued to impact the number of our End of Period Subscribers in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which declined compared to the prior year period. Additionally, our mix shift toward our Digital business, which was significant during the onset of the pandemic, especially when amplified by the nature of our subscription business, negatively impacted revenue. Over the longer term, it remains uncertain how the COVID-19 pandemic will impact consumer demand for our products and services and consumer preferences and behavior generally.

We continue to serve our members virtually, both via our Digital business and through virtual workshops, and to evolve our workshop strategy as we evaluate our cost structure and respond to shifting consumer sentiment. The current number of our studio locations is significantly lower than that prior to the pandemic, and we expect it to remain below pre-COVID-19 levels. As a result, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant costs associated with our real estate realignment.

While we expect the effects of the pandemic and the related responses, including shifts in consumer sentiment and behavior, to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the uncertainty of the full extent of the duration and severity of the consumer, economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means we cannot reasonably estimate the related financial impact at this time. This dynamic situation continues to drive uncertainty at the macroeconomic, local and consumer levels. We continue to actively monitor the ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact and related developments. For more information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20222023 increased $1.6$4.8 million, or 8.4%25.0%, versus the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in the base rate of our Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20222023 and the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20212022 and excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, increased to 5.68%7.51% per annum at the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20222023 from 4.69%4.73% per annum at the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2023 and the second quarter of fiscal 2022, and the third quarter of fiscal 2021, increased to 5.77%6.63% per annum at the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20222023 from 5.29%5.30% per annum at the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon. For additional details on our interest rate swaps, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net, which consists primarily of the impact of foreign currency on intercompany transactions, increasedchanged by $0.6$2.1 million for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 20222023 to $1.3$0.5 million of expenseincome as compared to $0.8$1.6 million of expense for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2021.2022.

Tax

Our effective tax rate for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2023 was (1,740.0%) compared to 38.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. In fiscal 2023, we were required to increase the valuation allowance recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of the limitation on interest deductions in the U.S. The forecasted full-year tax expense, which included the increase in valuation allowance, in relation to our forecasted full-year pretax loss (albeit minimal), drove an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate. Applying this negative annual effective tax rate to the pretax loss for the first six months of fiscal 2023 resulted in an income tax benefit of $48.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, since an income tax expense of $67.6 million was recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance noted above. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”). The tax benefit for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 25.6% as compared to 22.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Theprimarily driven by a tax benefit recorded for the third quarter of fiscal 2022out-of-period income tax adjustments, which was impactedpartially offset by a U.S. state tax rate change.expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. For the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2022, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits related to FDII and out-of-period income tax adjustments, partially offset by state income tax expense, and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions partially offset by aand tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income, or FDII.The tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was impacted by the reversal of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now expected to be realized.

We continue to evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and if our U.S. business continues to decline, it is possible that some or all of the business interest expense carryforward may not be used. While this carryforward has an indefinite life, a change in the valuation allowance is possible in the foreseeable future which could materially increase our tax expense in the period the valuation allowance is recognized.

Segment Results

As previously disclosed, effective the first day of fiscal 2023 (i.e., January 1, 2023), we realigned our organizational structure and resources to more closely align with our strategic priorities and centralized the global management of certain functions and systems. As a result of the change in our organizational structure, we now have two reportable segments, consisting of North America and International, for the purpose of making operational and resource decisions and assessing financial performance. The new reportable segments will continue to provide similar services and products.

Including the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the first ninesix months of fiscal 2023 and the first six months of fiscal 2022, and the first nine months of fiscal 2021, decreasedincreased to 5.40%6.55% per annum at the end of the first ninesix months of fiscal 20222023 from 6.00%5.22% per annum at the end of the first ninesix months of fiscal 2021.2022. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net, which consists primarily of the impact of foreign currency on intercompany transactions, increasedchanged by $2.4$2.8 million for the first ninesix months of fiscal 20222023 to $3.3$0.9 million of expenseincome as compared to $0.9$2.0 million of expense for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2021.2022.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we wrote-off $29.2 million of fees in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing that we recorded as an early extinguishment of debt charge, comprised of $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes (as defined below), $9.0 million of financing fees and $7.2 million of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount. For additional details on this refinancing, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt”.

Tax

Our effective tax rate for the first ninesix months of fiscal 20222023 was 25.6% as(40.4%) compared to 14.9%26.7% for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2021.2022. The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. In fiscal 2023, we were required to increase the valuation allowance recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of the limitation on interest deductions in the U.S. The forecasted full-year tax expense, which included the increase in valuation allowance, in relation to our forecasted full-year pretax loss (albeit minimal), drove an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate. Applying this negative annual effective tax rate to the pretax loss for the first six months of fiscal 2023 resulted in an income tax expense of $19.5 million.

For the first six months of fiscal 2023, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance noted above. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”). The tax benefit for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2022 was impactedprimarily driven by a tax benefit recorded for out-of-period income tax adjustments, and a U.S. state tax rate change,which was partially offset by tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. For the first ninesix months of fiscal 2022, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits related to FDII and out-of-period income tax adjustments, partially offset by state income tax expense, and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions partially offset by aand tax benefit related to FDII. The tax expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation and the reversal of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now expected to be realized. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expenseshortfalls from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to FDII.

We continue to evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and if our U.S. business continues to decline, it is possible that some or all of the business interest expense carryforward may not be used. While this carryforward has an indefinite life, a change in the valuation allowance is possible in the foreseeable future which could materially increase our tax expense in the period the valuation allowance is recognized.stock compensation.

Net (Loss) IncomeLoss and Diluted (Net Loss) EarningsNet Loss Per Share

Net loss for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2023 was $67.9 million compared to the net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2022 was $218.9 million compared to net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 of $37.0$12.9 million. Net loss for the first ninesix months of fiscal 20222023 was negatively impacted by $5.7$0.3 million of foreign currency. Net loss for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2023 included a $19.0 million net impact from restructuring charges and a $7.5 million impact from acquisition transaction costs. Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2022 included a $256.4$21.3 million impact from franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and a $16.7 million net impact from restructuring charges. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 included a $21.8 million impact from the write-off of fees related to our April 2021 debt refinancing and an $14.5$14.0 million net impact from restructuring charges.

Diluted net loss per share for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2023 was $0.91 compared to diluted net loss per share for the first six months of fiscal 2022 was $3.12 compared to EPS of $0.52 for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.$0.18. Diluted net loss per share for the first ninesix months of fiscal 2023 included a $0.26 net impact from restructuring charges and a $0.10 impact from acquisition transaction costs.

Segment Results

As previously disclosed, effective the first day of fiscal 2023 (i.e., January 1, 2023), we realigned our organizational structure and resources to more closely align with our strategic priorities and centralized the global management of certain functions and systems. As a result of the change in our organizational structure, we now have two reportable segments, consisting of North America and International, for the purpose of making operational and resource decisions and assessing financial performance. The new reportable segments will continue to provide similar services and products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows provided by operating activities have historically supplied and are expected to continue to supply, us with our primary source of liquidity. We usehave used these cash flows, supplemented with long-term debt and short-term borrowings, to fund our operations and global strategic initiatives, pay down debt and engage in selective acquisitions. Upon the completion of our previously announced acquisition of Weekend Health, Inc., doing business as Sequence (“Sequence”) (the “Acquisition”), in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we had a net cash outlay of $40.3 million on April 10, 2023 with respect to the payment of the purchase price and certain transaction costs. For additional details on the purchase price consideration for the Acquisition and related terms, see Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 5 “Acquisitions” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This cash outlay has reduced the liquidity available to us in the future. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Acquisition of Weekend Health, Inc. (d/b/a Sequence)—The Acquisition may not achieve its intended results.” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Liquidity—We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt and satisfy our other liquidity requirements.of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022 for additional details. We currently believe that cash generated by operations, our cash on hand of approximately $188.3$91.4 million at OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, our availability under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and described below) at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and our continued cost focus will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for the short- and long-term. In addition, if necessary, we have the flexibility to delay investments or reduce marketing spend.

We continue to proactively manage our liquidity so we can maintain flexibility to fund investments in our business, honor our long-term debt obligations, and respond to evolving business and consumer conditions. To increase our flexibility and reduce our cash interest payments, we refinanced our then-existing credit facilities and then-existing senior notes in April 2021. See “—Long-Term Debt” for additional details on this refinancing. Additionally, we instituted a number of measures throughout our operations to mitigate expenses and reduce costs as well as ensure liquidity. For example, we instituted restructuring plans in recent fiscal years which have resulted in aggregate cash outlays of approximately $25.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023 and are expected to result in an additional $16.1 million for the remainder of fiscal 2023. For additional details, see Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 16 “Restructuring” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The evolving nature, and uncertain economic impact, of the current demand environment may impact our liquidity going forward. To the extent that we do not successfully manage our costs, our liquidity and financial results, as well as our ability to fully access our Revolving Credit Facility, may be adversely affected.

As market conditions warrant, we may, from time to time, seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Senior Secured Notes and borrowings under the Credit Facilities (each as defined below). Such transactions could be privately negotiated or open market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing, or terms of, our indebtedness, any such purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet, the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt, the issuance of our equity or the sale of assets. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may equate to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, which may reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.

The changedecrease in derivative (receivable) payable, netportion of operating lease liabilities due within one year was primarily due to a changeoperating lease terminations resulting from the continued rationalization of our real estate portfolio. The increase in fair value driven by the change in interest rates. The decrease in deferred revenueoperational liabilities and other, net of assets, which includes accrued salaries and wages, was driven primarily by lower signups compared to the prior year. Thean increase in accrued interest was dueliabilities related to both our acquisition of Sequence in regard to cash to be paid on April 10, 2024 and lease termination accruals, and lower inventory as we rationalized product SKUs in North America and continued the timingwind down of debt principal payments. The decrease in prepaid income taxes was driven primarilyour International consumer products business, partially offset by the timing of tax payments.our annual bonus payment, employee termination benefit payments and an increase in receivables due to seasonality.

On April 13, 2021, we (1) repaid in full approximately $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under our then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our then-outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2025 or the Discharged(the “Discharged Senior Notes.Notes”). On April 13, 2021, our then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $175.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. We funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $1,000.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under our new credit facilities (as amended from time to time, referred to herein as the Credit Facilities)“Credit Facilities”) and proceeds received from the issuance of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 or the Senior(the “Senior Secured Notes,Notes”), each as described below. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the April“April 2021 debt refinancing.refinancing”. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we incurred fees of $37.9 million (which included $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $5.0 million of a debt discount on our Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt charge was comprised of $12.9 million of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9.0 million of financing fees paid in connection with our April 2021 debt refinancing and the write-off of $7.2 million of pre-existing deferred financing fees and debt discount.

Credit Facilities

The Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 or, as(as amended from time to time, the Credit Agreement,“Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., or (“Bank of America,America”), as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The Credit Facilities consist of (1) $1,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028 or the Term(the “Term Loan Facility,Facility”) and (2) $175.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026 or the Revolving(the “Revolving Credit Facility.Facility”).

In December 2021, we made voluntary prepayments at par in an aggregate amount of $52.5 million in respect of our outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of these prepayments, we wrote off a debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1.2 million in the aggregate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, we had $945.0 million in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under our Credit Facilities, with $173.9 million of availability and $1.1 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.Facility subject to its terms and conditions as discussed below. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022.2023.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of our current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including:

a pledge of 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such first-tier non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and
a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow;
100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and
100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the Term Loan Facility. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities at any time without penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBORTerm SOFR loans under the Credit Facilities.

In June 2023, in connection with the planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement, which will be calculated to include a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448%, 0.26161%, 0.42826%, or 0.71513% for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months period, respectively, in addition to the Term SOFR Screen Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the margin (which was not amended).

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBORTerm SOFR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at our option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00% or (2) a LIBORTerm SOFR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero. As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the applicable margins for the LIBORTerm SOFR rate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50% and 2.75%, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the Credit Agreement provides that we and the administrative agent may amend the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If we fail to do so, our borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin.

On a quarterly basis, we pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon our Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt, amendments of material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, changes to lines of business and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default. As of July 1, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement that were in effect on such date.

51


The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35% of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, we must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of 5.75:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2023, with a step down to 5.50:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2024, with an additionala step down to 5.25:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including with the first fiscal quarter of 2025, and againan additional step down to 5.00:1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025. As of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, our actual Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio was 4.99:7.48:1.00 and there were no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and total letters of credit issued were $1.1 million. We expect we maywere not be able to satisfyin compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio in the near future,as of July 1, 2023, and as a result, we are limited to borrowing no more than 35%, or $61.3 million, of the amount of funds we are able to borrowthe aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility would be effectively limited.as of each fiscal quarter end until we comply with the applicable ratio.

Senior Secured Notes

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021 or, as(as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the Indenture,“Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions. As of July 1, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture that were in effect on such date.

52


The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500% and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024, we may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125% on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000% on or after April 15, 2026. Prior to April 15, 2024, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, we must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, we must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date.

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

Outstanding Debt

At OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, we had $1,445.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of $945.0 million, $0.0 drawn down on the Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding.

At OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, our debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with our variable-rate borrowings. Further information regarding our interest rate swaps can be found in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Note 11 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 4.98%7.35% and 5.11%5.45% per annum at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.28%6.37% and 5.62%5.50% per annum at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Our accumulated other comprehensive loss includes changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and the effects of foreign currency translations. At OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, the cumulative balance of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, net of taxes, was a gain of $9.9$8.0 million and a lossgain of $14.5$3.5 million, respectively. At OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, the cumulative balance of the effects of foreign currency translations, net of taxes, was a loss of $21.2$15.5 million and a loss of $6.5$14.1 million, respectively.

Dividends and Stock Transactions

We do not currently pay a dividend and we have no current plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, after taking into account our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, the provisions of Virginia law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and such other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants in our existing indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement governing the Credit Facilities and the Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, and may be limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur in the future.

On October 9, 2003, our Board of Directors authorized, and we announced, a program to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On each of June 13, 2005, May 25, 2006 and October 21, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized, and we announced, the addition of $250.0 million to this program. The repurchase program allows for shares to be purchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. No shares will be purchased from Artal Holdings Sp. z o.o., Succursale de Luxembourg and its parents and subsidiaries under this program. The repurchase program currently has no expiration date. During the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, we repurchased no shares of our common stock under this program.

EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt

We define EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and Adjusted EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, net restructuring charges, and early extinguishmentcertain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of debt.Sequence.

In addition, we believe EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS are useful to investors, analysts and rating agencies in measuring the ability of a company to meet its debt service obligations. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” herein for an explanation of our use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in arrangements that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

SEASONALITY

Our principal business is seasonal due to the importance of the winter season to our overall member recruitment environment. Historically, we experience our highest level of recruitment during the first quarter of the year, which is supported with the highest concentration of advertising spending. Therefore, our number of End of Period Subscribers in the first quarter of the year ishas been typically higher than the number in other quarters of the year, historically reflecting a decline over the course of the year.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Corporate information and our press releases, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments thereto, are available free of charge on our corporate website at corporate.ww.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (i.e., generally the same day as the filing), or the SEC. Moreover, we also make available at that site the Section 16 reports filed electronically by our officers, directors and 10 percent shareholders.

We use our corporate website at corporate.ww.com and certain social media channels such as our corporate Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WW)(www.facebook.com/WW), LinkedIn page (www.linkedin.com/company/weightwatchers), Instagram account (Instagram.com/WW) and Twitter account (@ww_us) as channels of distribution of Company information. The information we post through these channels may be deemed material. Accordingly, investors should monitor these channels, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of our website and social media channels shall not be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

AsDuring the second quarter of October 1, 2022,fiscal 2023, in connection with the market risk disclosures appearingpreviously announced planned phase-out of LIBOR, we amended our Credit Facilities to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the benchmark rate under the Credit Agreement and modified our interest rate swap agreements to transition from LIBOR-indexed to Term SOFR-indexed periodic swap payments to align with interest payments in connection with our Term SOFR-indexed debt. Other than this transition, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the information disclosed in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 have not materially changed from January 1, 2022.

At the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2022,2023, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bore interest at LIBORTerm SOFR plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. For the Term Loan Facility, the minimum interest rate for LIBORTerm SOFR applicable to such facility pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement was set at 0.50%, referred to herein as the LIBORTerm SOFR Floor. In addition, as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, our interest rate swaps in effect had an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million. Accordingly, as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, based on the amount of variable rate debt outstanding and the then-current LIBORTerm SOFR rate, after giving consideration to the impact of the interest rate swaps and the LIBORTerm SOFR Floor, a hypothetical 90 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $4.0 million and a hypothetical 90 basis point decrease in interest rates would have decreased annual interest expense by approximately $4.0 million. This increase and decrease would have been driven primarily by the interest rate applicable to our Term Loan Facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of OctoberJuly 1, 2022,2023, the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2022.2023. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2022,2023, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The information called for by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 10 “Legal” of the notesNotes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in the risk factors from those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021.2022, as updated by the risk factors detailed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 which are reproduced below.

Risks Related to Our Acquisition of Weekend Health, Inc. (d/b/a Sequence)

The Acquisition may not achieve its intended results.

On April 10, 2023, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Weekend Health, Inc., doing business as Sequence (the “Acquisition”), with the expectation that the Acquisition would result in various benefits, including, among other things, revenue synergies with our existing business and operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether our business and the Sequence business are integrated in an efficient and effective manner. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues generated by the combined company and diversion of management’s attention and energy away from ongoing business concerns, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and prospects.

Additional risks relating to integration of Sequence into our business, include, among others, the following:

our inability to successfully integrate Sequence in a manner that permits us to achieve the full revenue and other benefits anticipated to result from the Acquisition;
our ability to compete effectively in the telehealth industry;
disruption to our and Sequence’s business and operations and relationships with service providers, customers, employees and other partners;
negative effects on our core business from the changes and potential disruption that may follow the Acquisition;
diversion of significant resources from our core business;
our inability to retain the service of key management and other personnel of Sequence;
increased regulatory oversight of our business;
potential limitations placed on our business by regulatory authorities;
our inability to successfully integrate Sequence into our internal control over financial reporting, which could compromise the integrity of our financial reporting; and
greater than anticipated costs related to the integration of Sequence’s business and operations into ours.

These potential difficulties, some of which are outside of our control, could adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. In addition, the market price of our common stock may decline if our assumptions regarding the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition are not accurate or we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or at all.

The Acquisition may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

We expect the Acquisition will initially be dilutive to our earnings per share, largely driven by the costs associated with the Acquisition itself. In the long term, the Acquisition may be less accretive than expected, or may be dilutive, to our earnings per share. Estimates of our earnings per share in the future are based on assumptions that may materially change. In addition, future events and conditions could decrease or delay the accretion that is currently projected or could result in dilution, including adverse changes in market conditions, additional transaction and integration-related costs and other factors such as the failure to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. Any dilution of, decrease in or delay of any accretion to, our earnings per share could cause the price of shares of our common stock to decline or grow at a reduced rate.

57


We have limited experience in the telehealth industry, which may hinder our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.

Due to the fact that the healthcare industry is highly regulated, we are required to adhere to new laws and regulations, including those related to telehealth, pharmacy, the corporate practice of medicine, health and consumer privacy, false claims, and the prescribing, distributing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products. We have limited experience operating a telehealth business and expect to rely in large part on the existing management of Sequence to continue to manage the Sequence business. The management teams will work together to comply with applicable laws and regulations and stay abreast of the frequent legislative and regulatory changes specific to telehealth.

In addition, the telehealth industry has incumbent and established competitors with substantial market share and new competitors will likely enter the market in the future. These companies may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have and may have existing cost and operational advantages that we lack. Our limited experience in this industry could negatively affect our ability to appeal to potential customers in the market, including our existing customers, develop expertise and new technologies, attract talent, manage risks, and compete with larger and more experienced competitors.

If we fail to retain the existing management of Sequence, or we fail to successfully compete in the telehealth industry, our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition may be adversely affected.

Notwithstanding the due diligence investigation that we performed in connection with our entry into the Merger Agreement, Sequence may have liabilities, losses, or other exposures for which we do not have adequate insurance coverage, indemnification, or other protection.

While we performed due diligence on Sequence prior to our entry into the Merger Agreement, we are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of statements and disclosures made or actions taken by Sequence and its representatives during due diligence and during our evaluation of the results of such due diligence. We did not control Sequence and may be unaware of certain activities of Sequence before the completion of the Acquisition, including intellectual property and other litigation claims or disputes, information security vulnerabilities, violations of laws, policies, rules and regulations, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities.

Following the consummation of the Acquisition, the liabilities of Sequence, including contingent liabilities, were consolidated with the Company’s. If Sequence’s liabilities are greater than expected, or if Sequence has obligations of which we are not aware, our business could be materially and adversely affected. We do not have indemnification rights from the prior owners of Sequence and instead rely on a limited amount of representation and warranty insurance. Such insurance is subject to exclusions, policy limits and certain other customary terms and conditions. Sequence may also have other unknown liabilities. If we are responsible for liabilities not covered by insurance, we could suffer severe consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our reputation could be impaired due to actions taken by our franchisees, licensees, suppliers and other partners.

We believe that our brands, including their widespread recognition and strong reputation and goodwill in the market, are one of our most valuable assets and they provide us with a competitive advantage. Our franchisees operate their businesses under our brands. We license our trademarks to third parties for the manufacture and sale in retail stores by such parties of a variety of goods, including food products, and also co-brand or endorse third-party branded consumer services and products. We also sell through a variety of channels, including online through our e-commerce platforms, at our studios, and through our trusted partners, food and non-food products manufactured by third-party suppliers. In addition, we integrate our services and products with those of other third parties, including through bundled and joint offerings, and integrate data from trusted third-party partners into our offerings. Our third-party partnerships also extend to event sponsorships and co-promotions. Our franchisees, licensees, suppliers and other partners are independent third parties with their own financial objectives, third-party relationships and brand associations. Actions taken by them, including violations of generally accepted ethical business practices or breaches of law, regulations or contractual obligations, such as not following our program or not maintaining our quality and safety standards, could harm our reputation. Also, our products and services, or the third-party products or services with which we integrate our own services and products, may be subject to product recalls, brand confusion, litigation, regulatory action or other deficiencies, as the case may be, which could harm our brands. Any negative publicity associated with these actions or these third parties would adversely affect our reputation and may result in decreased recruitment, Digital product subscriptions, workshop attendance and product sales and, as a result, lower revenues and profits.

58


As a result of the consummation of the Acquisition, we are now associated with and may in the future become associated with professional corporations, professional associations or equivalent entities, which are legal entities organized under state laws that employ or contract with healthcare professionals in one or more states to provide telehealth services (collectively, “PCs”). We and the PCs may suffer losses or reputational harm from medical malpractice liability, professional liability or other claims against the healthcare professionals employed by, or contracting with, us or the PCs (the “Affiliated Professionals”). We and/or the PCs may be unable to obtain or maintain adequate insurance against these claims. Healthcare professionals providing telehealth services have become subject to a number of lawsuits alleging malpractice and some of these lawsuits may involve large claims and significant defense costs. It is possible that these claims could also be asserted against us and potential litigation may include us as an additional defendant. Any suits against us, the PCs or the Affiliated Professionals, if successful, could result in substantial damage awards to the claimants that may exceed the limits of any applicable insurance coverage. Although we do not control the practice of telehealth by the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals, it could be asserted that we should be held liable for malpractice of a healthcare professional employed by a PC.

In addition, we and the PCs could incur reputational harm or negative publicity in relation to a material malpractice or care-related event involving an Affiliated Professional. Malpractice lawsuits and claims can also lead to increased scrutiny by state regulators. In addition, some plaintiffs have asserted allegations of corporate practice of medicine in connection with malpractice lawsuits. There can be no assurance, however, that a future claim or claims will not be successful. Malpractice insurance, moreover, can be expensive and varies from state to state and there can be no assurance that malpractice insurance will be available to us or the PCs or the Affiliated Professionals at an acceptable cost.

Successful malpractice claims asserted against us or the PCs or the Affiliated Professionals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our inability to obtain adequate insurance may also have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Additionally, a number of laws and regulations govern the business of advertising, promotion, dispensing, and marketing services and products, including generic and branded pharmaceuticals. These regulatory regimes are overseen by governmental bodies, principally the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the “HHS”), the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), and several state and local government agencies in the United States. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations of these governmental agencies may result in legal or other enforcement actions, including orders to cease non-compliant activities. We depend on pharmacies, laboratories and other contractors to provide certain products and services for members. These third parties may be subject to inspections and audits by federal, state or local health authorities, health insurers, and pharmacy benefit managers. If these third parties do not maintain appropriate licenses or comply with legal and regulatory requirements or are subject to enforcement actions, our business may be adversely affected.

Any inquiry into the safety, efficacy or regulatory status of the products prescribed by the Affiliated Professionals and any related interruption in the marketing and sale of these products could damage our reputation and image in the marketplace. For example, the use of such products may cause adverse events or other undesirable side effects, which could cause regulatory authorities to issue warnings about the products or could lead to recalls, withdrawals of approvals for such products or other regulatory or other enforcement actions. The FDA has also issued warning letters to companies alleging improper claims regarding their pharmaceutical products. If the FDA or any other regulatory authorities determine that we have made inappropriate drug claims, we could receive a warning or untitled letter, be required to modify our claims or take other actions to satisfy the FDA or any other regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to state, federal or foreign government actions or class action lawsuits, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We, the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals are subject to extensive and complex healthcare laws and regulations. If we, the PCs or the Affiliated Professionals fail to comply with existing or new laws or regulations that apply to us, we or they could suffer civil or criminal penalties or be subject to other enforcement actions.

The healthcare industry and services provided via telehealth are highly regulated. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, various aspects of our operations are subject to federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations, any of which may change from time to time. Regulatory oversight includes, but is not limited to, considerations of corporate practice of medicine, licensure and scope of practice limitations for physicians and other healthcare professionals, establishment of a physician-patient relationship, prohibitions on fraud, waste and abuse, including laws prohibiting the submission of false claims, anti-kickback and all-payor fraud laws, restrictions on referrals and self-referrals, advertising and promotional restrictions, privacy protections, including patient information, and complex prior authorization and other requirements. Federal and state laws permit private parties to bring “qui tam” or whistleblower lawsuits on behalf of the federal government against companies for violations of fraud and abuse laws.

59


Although we and the PCs strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, our operations and the operations of the PCs may not be in compliance with certain laws or regulations as they may be interpreted by governmental, judicial, law enforcement or regulatory authorities or their agents. Failure to comply with laws and regulations may subject us, the PCs or the Affiliated Professionals to civil or criminal penalties, licensing or other sanctions, that limit our ability to operate our business or their ability to provide telehealth services. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Acquisition of Weekend Health, Inc. (d/b/a Sequence)—We may be subject to extensive fraud, waste, and abuse laws that may give rise to federal and state audits and investigations, including actions for false and other improper claims.”

Changes to laws and regulations pose additional risks. The failure to comply with such changes to laws and regulations may subject us, the PCs and/or the Affiliated Professionals to civil or criminal penalties or other sanctions that will limit our ability to operate our business or the ability of the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals to provide telehealth services. Changes to laws or regulations might have the effect of imposing additional costs or rendering invalid or illegal, in whole or in part, certain aspects of the expected agreements between us, the PCs and healthcare professionals. Any or all of the issues above could adversely affect our ability to attract new members or retain existing members, or subject us to governmental or third-party lawsuits, investigations, regulatory fines or other actions or liability, resulting in a material adverse effect to our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.

The healthcare laws and regulations to which we are subject are constantly evolving and may change significantly in the future.

The laws and regulations applicable to our business, to telehealth services, and to the healthcare industry generally are constantly evolving. While we believe that Sequence has structured its agreements and operations in material compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully address changes in the current regulatory environment. Some of the healthcare laws and regulations that are applicable to us are subject to limited or evolving interpretations, and a review of our business or operations by a governmental, judicial, law enforcement or regulatory authority might result in a determination that could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the healthcare laws and regulations applicable to us may be amended or interpreted in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Recent and frequent legislative and regulatory changes specific to telehealth may present us with additional requirements and compliance costs, with potential operational impacts in certain jurisdictions. Our business could be adversely affected by challenges to our business model or by state actions restricting the ability of the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals to provide products and services via telehealth in certain states.

Healthcare professionals who provide professional services to a patient via telehealth must, in most instances, hold a valid license to practice or provide treatment in the state in which the patient is located. Certain states require healthcare professionals providing telehealth services to be physically located in the same state as the patient. State law applicable to telehealth, particularly licensure requirements, has been relaxed in many jurisdictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unclear which, if any, of these changes will remain in place permanently. If regulations change to restrict healthcare professionals from delivering care through telehealth modalities or such healthcare professionals fail to comply with telehealth laws, the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, and our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Federal and state laws and regulations specific to telehealth vary and may set forth informed consent, modality, medical records, licensing, follow-up care, and other requirements. The ability of the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals to conduct business via telehealth is dependent, in part, upon that particular state’s treatment of remote healthcare and that state medical or other board’s regulation of the practice of medicine and telehealth services, each of which is subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. Where new laws and regulations apply to telehealth services, we may incur costs to monitor, evaluate, and modify operational processes for compliance. All such activities may increase our costs and could, in certain circumstances, impact the ability of the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals to make telehealth available in a particular state. Additionally, patients may be reluctant to accept services delivered via telehealth or may not find it preferable to traditional treatment. It is possible that the laws, rules, and regulations governing the practice of telehealth in one or more states may change or be interpreted in a manner unfavorable to our business. If adverse laws or regulations are adopted, if patients prove unwilling to adopt the telehealth services offered by the PCs and the Affiliated Professionals as rapidly or in the numbers that we anticipate, or if any claims challenging the provision of services via telehealth are successful, and we were unable to adapt our business model accordingly, our operations in such states would be disrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

We may also be subject to changes in laws, regulations, and enforcement trends governing the marketing of pharmaceutical products. Such products are subject to regulation by the FDA, FTC, and other governmental agencies, and over time, the regulatory landscape for pharmaceutical products approved for weight management may become more complex with increasingly strict requirements. To the extent federal or other requirements regarding safety, prescribing, and claims change in the future, such changes could result in increased costs, recalls, increased cancelations of member subscriptions, decreased interest from potential members or other adverse impacts or additional risks.

60


We may be subject to extensive fraud, waste, and abuse laws that may give rise to federal and state audits and investigations, including actions for false and other improper claims.

The U.S. healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern our contractual relationships and arrangements with healthcare professionals and vendors, our marketing activities, and other aspects of our operations and the operations of the PCs and vendors. Such laws include, without limitation, federal and state anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, and false claims laws, and may authorize the imposition of criminal, civil and administrative penalties for submitting false or fraudulent claims for reimbursement to federal and state healthcare programs.

The federal anti-kickback statute (the “Anti-Kickback Statute”) makes it a criminal offense to knowingly and willingly offer, pay, solicit or receive any remuneration to induce or reward referrals of items or services reimbursable by federal healthcare programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute defines “remuneration” to include the transfer of anything of value, in cash or in kind and directly or indirectly. The statute has been interpreted to cover any arrangement where at least one purpose of the arrangement is to obtain remuneration for the referral of services or to induce the purchase, lease, order, recommendation or arrangement of items or services reimbursable under a federal healthcare program. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Many states have similar anti-kickback and consumer protection laws, and in some cases these laws have expanded to apply to commercial insurers. If any governmental, judicial, law enforcement or regulatory authority determines that we are not in compliance with any such laws, any such authority could bring an action against us and/or our supported offices for violations of such laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Federal Civil False Claims Act (the “FCA”) prohibits the knowing submission of any false or fraudulent claim for payment to the federal government or to its agents or contractors or any recipient if the federal government provides any payment for the claim. The FCA also prohibits knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false claims to government health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. It also prohibits the use of any false record or statement material to a claim made in order to have a false or fraudulent claim paid in whole or in part by the federal government. It further prohibits the knowing concealment or improper avoidance of an obligation to pay money or property to the federal government. The FCA requires no proof of specific intent to defraud to create liability. In addition, a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in liability under the FCA. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the United States Attorney Offices, or as a qui tam action by a private individual in the name of the government. These private parties, often referred to as relators, are entitled to share in any amounts recovered by the government through trial or settlement. These “qui tam” cases are sealed by the court at the time of filing. The only parties privy to the information contained in the complaint are the relator, the federal government and the presiding court. It is possible that “qui tam” lawsuits will be filed against us and that we will be unaware of such filings. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties. The federal government continues to use the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigations and prosecutions of telehealth companies and healthcare professionals that provide telehealth services. The government has obtained multi-million and multi-billion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminal statutes. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the federal government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating telehealth companies and healthcare professionals that provide telehealth services for compliance with the FCA and other applicable fraud and abuse laws. Collateral consequences of a violation of the FCA include administrative penalties and the imposition of settlement, monitoring, integrity or other agreements. Many states have similar FCA laws to which we may be subject. A determination that we have violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) also created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

61


In addition, federal healthcare laws prohibit the offer or transfer to a federal healthcare program beneficiary, of any remuneration, including free services, and waivers of beneficiary cost sharing that the offeror knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider, practitioner or supplier of federal healthcare program items or services unless there has been a good faith determination of the beneficiary’s financial need. Violations may result in the imposition of civil monetary penalties. Moreover, the routine waivers of copayments and deductibles offered to patients covered by commercial payors may also implicate applicable state laws related to, among other things, unlawful schemes to defraud, insurance fraud, excessive fees for services, tortious interference with patient contracts and statutory or common law fraud. If arrangements are found to be inconsistent with applicable federal and state fraud, waste and abuse, state advertising, insurance or other applicable laws, we may be required to restructure or discontinue certain programs, or be subject to other significant penalties, enforcement actions or investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

To enforce compliance with the federal laws such as the FCA, the Office of the Inspector General of the HHS (the “OIG”) and the DOJ recently have increased their scrutiny of interactions between healthcare companies and healthcare professionals, which has resulted in investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. Dealing with investigations can be time and resource consuming and can divert management’s attention from the business. Any such future investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business.

Additionally, federal and state government agencies, as well as commercial payors, have increased their auditing and administrative, civil and criminal enforcement efforts as part of an effort to identify and to stem healthcare fraud and abuse. These audits and investigations relate to a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to the following: ordering and referral practices, technical compliance with coverage and payment rules, the offering of prohibited remuneration, patient privacy and data security rules and financial reporting. In addition, the OIG and the DOJ have, from time to time, undertaken national enforcement initiatives that focus on specific practices or other suspected areas of abuse. For example, the OIG announced a special fraud alert informing healthcare professionals that they should exercise caution when entering into arrangements with certain telemedicine companies. Federal and state governments also are authorized to impose criminal, civil and administrative penalties on any person or entity that files a false claim for payment for items or services reimbursed under a federal or state healthcare program. While the criminal statutes are generally reserved for instances of fraudulent intent, the federal government is applying its enforcement powers in an ever-expanding range of circumstances. If we or any of the PCs are found to be in violation of federal or state laws or regulations, we and they could be forced to discontinue the violative practice and may be subject to actions, fines and criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Similar to federal and state governmental agencies, commercial payors have increased their auditing and recovery efforts. Claims filed with private insurers can lead to criminal and civil penalties, including, but not limited to, penalties relating to violations of federal mail and wire fraud statutes, as well as penalties under the healthcare fraud provisions of HIPAA.
