More than a majority of associated members were transitioned from the Company’s Digital business to its Workshops + Digital business during the second quarter, 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 access to meetings to the Company’s “pay-as-you-go” membersassociated Paid Weeks and other meetings members. “Online” refers to Weight Watchers Online, Weight Watchers OnlinePlus, Personal Coaching and other digital subscription products.Revenues for each business.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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. For example, the Company considered the impact of COVID-19 and its variants on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q quarterly financial statements. 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.

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 were 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 three and six months ended July 2, 2022.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 20162021 filed on March 1, 2017,2022, which includes additional information about the Company, its results of operations, its financial position and its cash flows.

Out-of-Period Adjustments:

In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments primarily to reverse a foreign tax receivable originally recorded in fiscal 2008 that should have been reversed in fiscal 2009. The impact of these income tax errors, which increased provision for income taxes and decreased net income attributable to the Company by $2,684, was immaterial to prior period financial statements and thus corrected in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Year

In February 2016,October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued updated guidance regarding leases, requiring lesseesto 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 right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leasesbusiness combination in accordance with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but will be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases.Topic 606. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 20182022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance mustshould be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The updated guidance isapplied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after its effective fordate. On January 2, 2022, the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption ofearly adopted this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers,a prospective basis, which is intended to clarify the implementation guidancedid not have a material impact on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this update do not change the core principle of the guidance, but are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by including indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to clarify guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. In May 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to provide narrow scope guidance and practical expedients contained in the new revenue standard. In December 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers for technical corrections and improvements on narrow aspects within the original and amended guidance. The amendments in these updates are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company continues to makeits consolidated financial statements.

progress in its assessment of the updated guidance3.Leases

At July 2, 2022 and in evaluating the effect of adoption on the consolidated financial statements. The Company plans on adopting this guidance on a modified retrospective basis. While the completion of this assessment is still ongoing, based on the progress to date, the Company does not expect the new standard will have a material impact on its revenue recognition accounting policy or its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating2022, the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statementsCompany’s lease assets and related disclosures of the Company.lease liabilities, primarily for its studios and corporate offices, were as follows:

In August 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve accounting for hedging activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the issuance date. The Company plans to adopt this guidance the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, which will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.

In performing its annualthe impairment analysis as of May 7, 2017, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its goodwill reporting units andfor indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, with indefinite lives units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and therefore, no impairment existed. For all reporting units, except for Brazil, there was significant headroom in the impairment analysis.

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 July 2, 2022, 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 July 2, 2022 and January 1, 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 4.63% and 5.11% per annum at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 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 5.12% and 5.62% per annum at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and May 12, 2004, respectively,six months ended July 2, 2022 were 38.4% and 26.7%, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2022, the tax benefit was primarily driven by a tax benefit recorded for out-of-period income tax adjustments, which was partially offset by tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. For the six months ended July 2, 2022, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s shareholders approvedconsolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) and out-of-period income tax adjustments, partially offset by state income tax expense, tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions and tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation.

The effective tax rates for the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”)three and six months ended July 3, 2021 were 9.9% and 42.3%, respectively. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the tax expense was impacted by tax windfalls from stock compensation. For the six months ended July 3, 2021, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”)Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to state income tax expense and tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to FDII.

Non-Income Tax Matters

The Internal Revenue Service notified the Company’s shareholders approvedCompany of certain penalties assessed related to the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (as amendedannual disclosure and restated, the “2014 Plan”), which replaced the 2008 Plan and 2004 Plan for all equity-based awards granted on or after May 6, 2014. The 2014 Plan is designed to promote the long-term financial interests and growthreporting requirements of the Company by attracting, motivating and retaining employees with the ability to contribute to the success of the business and to align compensation for the Company’s employees over a multi-year period directly with the interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof administers the 2014 Plan.

Pursuant to the restricted stock provisions of the 2014 Plan, in fiscal 2016 the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) determined to grant 289.9 performance-based stock unit (“PSU”) awards having both time- and performance-vesting criteria. The time-vesting criteria for these PSUs will be satisfied on the third anniversary of the grant date (i.e., May 16, 2019). The performance-vesting criteria for these PSUs will be satisfied if the Company has achieved a Debt Ratio (as defined in the applicable term sheet for these PSU awards and based on a Debt to EBITDAS ratio (each, as defined therein)) at levels at or above a “threshold” level performance of 4.5x over the performance period from December 31, 2017 to December 29, 2018. Pursuant to these awards, the number of PSUs that become vested, if any, upon the satisfaction of both vesting criteria, shall be equal to (x) the target number of PSUs granted multiplied by (y) the applicable Debt Ratio achievement percentage, rounded down to avoid the issuance of fractional shares. If all of these awards fully meet the time-vesting criteria and the minimum performance condition is attained, depending on the Company’s Debt Ratio achievement, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under these PSUs range from 61.7 to 308.4.Affordable Care Act. The Company is currently accruing compensation expensein the process of appealing this determination and does not believe it has any liability with respect to what it believes is the probable outcome upon vesting.this matter.

Additionally, pursuant to the restricted stock provisions of the 2014 Plan, in fiscal 2017 the Compensation Committee determined to grant 98.5 PSUs in May 2017 and 47.9 PSUs in July 2017, all having both time- and performance-vesting criteria. The time-vesting criteria for these PSUs will be satisfied on May 15, 2020. The performance-vesting criteria for these PSUs will be satisfied if the Company has achieved, in the case of the May 2017 awards, certain annual operating income objectives and, in the case of the July 2017 award, certain net income or operating income objectives, as applicable for each performance year, in each fiscal year over a three-year period (i.e., fiscal 2017 through fiscal 2019) (each, a “2017 Award Performance Year”). When the performance measure has been met for a particular 2017 Award Performance Year, that portion of units is “banked” for potential issuance following the satisfaction of the three-year time-vesting criteria. Such portion of units to be “banked” shall be equal to (x) the target number of PSUs granted for the applicable 2017 Award Performance Year multiplied by (y) the applicable achievement percentage, rounded down to avoid the issuance of fractional shares. If all of these awards fully meet the time-vesting criteria and the minimum performance condition is attained in each 2017 Award Performance Year, depending on the Company’s performance achievement, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under these PSUs range from 48.8 to 244.0.  The Company is currently accruing compensation expense to what it believes is the probable outcome upon vesting.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 30.5% and 26.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016 were 10.3% and 18.6%, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the primary difference between the US federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was due to the $11,633 tax benefit related to the cessation of operations of the Company’s Spanish subsidiary recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and a $2,255 reversal of tax reserves resulting from an updated transfer pricing study.

For the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016 the primary differences between the US federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate were due to $11,438 net tax benefits arising from a research and development tax credit and a Section 199 deduction for the tax years 2012 through 2016, partially offset by $2,684 of income tax expenses recorded for out-of-period adjustments. See Note 1 for additional information on these adjustments. For the nine months ended October 1, 2016, the difference between the US federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was also due to the reversal of a $2,500 valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now expected to be realized.

Raymond Roberts v. Weight Watchers International, Inc.

On January 7, 2016, an OnlinePlus member filed a putative class action complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County, asserting class claims for breach of contract and violations of the New York General Business Law. On February 5, 2016, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. On March 18, 2016, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that, as a result of the temporary glitches in the Company’s website and app in November and December 2015, the Company has: (1) breached its Subscription Agreement with its OnlinePlus members; and (2) engaged in deceptive acts and practices in violation of Section 350 of the New York General Business Law. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified actual, punitive and statutory damages, as well as his attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with this action. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on May 6, 2016. The plaintiff filed his opposition papers on June 9, 2016 and the Company filed its reply papers on June 23, 2016. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss on November 14, 2016. On November 16, 2016, the plaintiff filed a timely notice of appeal of the Court’s decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and on January 31, 2017, the plaintiff filed his brief in support of appeal. The Company filed its opposition brief on April 5, 2017, and the plaintiff filed his reply brief on April 25, 2017. On October 25, 2017, the Second Circuit conducted oral arguments on the plaintiff’s appeal. On November 2, 2017, the Second Circuit issued its decision denying the plaintiff’s appeal and affirming the lower court’s dismissal of the case.  The plaintiff has until November 16, 2017 to file a petition for a rehearing with the Second Circuit, or until January 31, 2018 to file a petition for appeal with the United States Supreme Court.

Other Litigation Matters

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, it is, also, 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.

As of September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, the Company had in effect an interest rate swapswaps with aan aggregate notional amount totaling $1,250,000 and $1,500,000, respectively.$500,000.

On July 26, 2013,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 March 31, 2014April 2, 2020 and a termination date of April 2, 2020.March 31, 2024.

During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $1,500,000$500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $250,000 on March 31, 2014 to $1,250,000 on April 3, 2017, and will decrease to $1,000,000 on April 1, 2019.2021. This interest rate swap effectively fixesfixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 2.38%3.1005%. 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 qualifieseffectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.901%. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of this swapthe current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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.

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.

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 an interest rate swap agreementagreements as of September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016.January 1, 2022. Since there were 0 outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the fair value approximated a carrying value of $0 at both July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

The fair value of the Company’s TermCredit Facilities is determined by utilizing average bid prices on or near the end of each fiscal quarter (Level 2 input). As of September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,897,108$1,058,883 and $1,671,920,$1,389,306, respectively, as compared to the carrying value (net of deferringdeferred financing costs)costs and debt discount) of $1,916,271$1,420,194 and $2,002,299,$1,418,104, 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 LIBOR interest rate and LIBOR yield curve rates and include consideration of counterparty credit risk.

As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company committed to a restructuring plan consisting of (i) an organizational realignment to simplify the Company’s corporate structure and reduce associated costs (the “Organizational Realignment”) and (ii) a continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio resulting in the termination of certain of the Company’s operating leases (together with the Organizational Realignment, the “2022 Plan”). In connection with the 2022 Plan, the Company previously expected to record restructuring charges ranging between $18,000 to $22,000 in the aggregate in fiscal 2022. The Company revised its estimate and currently expects to record restructuring expenses of approximately $27,000 in fiscal 2022 related to this plan. For both the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $19,117 ($14,313 after tax).

The Organizational Realignment has resulted and will result in the elimination of certain positions and termination of employment for certain employees worldwide. In connection with its Organizational Realignment, the Company previously expected to record charges of approximately $12,000 to $16,000 in the aggregate with respect to employee termination benefit costs (consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses), the majority of which were recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company revised its estimate and currently expects to record restructuring expenses with respect to employee termination benefit costs of approximately $20,000 in fiscal 2022.

In connection with the termination of certain of its operating leases, the Company continues to expect to record charges of approximately $6,000 in the aggregate consisting of lease termination and other related costs in fiscal 2022.

Substantially all of these costs arising from the 2022 Plan are expected to result in cash expenditures related to separation payments, other employee termination expenses and lease termination payments. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, the components of the Company’s restructuring expenses were as follows:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross profit margin, operating income, operating 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 second quarter 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 our wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc. (“Kurbo”) and (b) the net impact of (x) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”) and (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”); (ii) 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 second quarter and first six 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 second quarter and first six 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 (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the second quarter and first six 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 measuresmeasures: 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 debt.restructuring charges, and early extinguishment of debt with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed April 2021 debt refinancing and voluntary debt prepayments (“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. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—EBITDAS”EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt” for the calculations.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-


yearcurrent-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 POLICIESESTIMATES

Goodwill and Franchise Rights Acquired Annual Impairment Test

We review goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, includingFinite-lived franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives,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. We performed fair value impairment testing as of May 7, 2017 and May 8, 2016, each the first day of fiscal May, on our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. In performing our goodwill impairment analysis for our reporting units for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, no impairment was identified as the fair value of those units exceeded their respective carrying value. require.

In performing the impairment analysis for our indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, with indefinite livesthe fair value for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, we determined that the carrying amounts of these units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and therefore no impairment existed.

With respect to our analysis, a change in the underlying assumptions would cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could result in an impairment of those assets, 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 they are appropriate.

The following is a more detailed discussion of our fiscal 2017 goodwill and 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 rights is then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for those franchise rights. We have determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment analysis.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, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date were $698.4 million, $34.6 million, $10.9 million, $6.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

In our hypothetical start-up approach analysis for fiscal 2022, 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, 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 units.unit. 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 in the United States, Canada Brazil and other countries at September 30, 2017 were $97.8 million, $43.0 million, $19.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

Based on the results of our annual impairment test performed as of the first day of fiscal May (May 7, 2017), we estimated that for reporting units that hold approximately 88.9% of our goodwill, those units had a fair value at least 50% higher than the respective reporting unit’s carrying amount. In Brazil, which holds 11.1% of our goodwill, the fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%.July 2, 2022 balance sheet date were $104.0 million, $41.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

For all of our reporting units except for Brazil (see below),tested as of May 8, 2022, we estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operating activitiesoperations 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 averageweighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The cost

Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test

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 fair value impairment testing as of equity was determined by combining a risk-free rateMay 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, each the first day of returnfiscal May, on our indefinite-lived intangible assets and a market risk premium for the Company’s peer group. The risk-free rate of return was determined based on the average rate of long-term U.S. Treasury securities. The market risk premium was determined by reviewing external market data. The cost of debt was determined by estimating our current borrowing rate.goodwill.

As it relates to our impairment analysis for Brazil,as of May 8, 2022, we estimated future debt free cash flows in contemplationdetermined that (i) the carrying amounts of our growth strategiesCanada 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 that market. In developing these projections, we considered the historical impactour Canada and New Zealand units of similar growth strategies in other markets as well as the current market conditions in Brazil. We then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the average cost account of capital, which included the cost of equity$24.5 million and the cost of debt. The cost of equity was determined by combining a risk-free rate of return and a market risk premium for the Company’s peer group. The risk-free rate of return was determined based on the average rate of long-term U.S. Treasury securities. The market risk premium was determined by reviewing external market data including the current economic conditions in Brazil and the country specific risk thereon. A further risk premium was included to reflect the risk associated with the rate of growth projected $0.8 million, respectively, in the analysis. The costsecond quarter of debt was determined by estimatingfiscal 2022; and (ii) the Company’s current borrowing rate.

The following are the more significant assumptions utilized incarrying 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.

Franchise Rights Acquired

Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized overas of May 9, 2021, we determined that the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. In performing the impairment analysis for our indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value forcarrying amounts of our franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred towith 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, the hypothetical start-up approach forCompany determined that the carrying amounts of our franchise rights related to our meetings businessgoodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, a relief from royalty methodology for our franchise rights related to our Online business. The aggregate estimatedtherefore, no impairment existed.

When determining fair value, forwe utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. A change in these rights is then comparedunderlying 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 unittrading values of account for those franchise rights. Weboth our equity and debt were to significantly decline from their levels at the time of testing, we may have determinedto take an impairment charge at the appropriate unittime, which could be material. For additional information on risks associated with our recognizing asset impairment charges, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of accountour Annual Report on Form 10-K for purposes of assessing impairment to be the combination of the rights in the meetings and Online businesses in the country in which the acquisitions have occurred. The values of these franchise rights in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand at September 30, 2017 were $671.9 million, $58.0 million, $12.7 million, $7.0 million, and $5.1 million, respectively.fiscal 2021.

Based on the results of our fiscal 2017May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis we estimated that approximately 100.0%performed for our United States unit of account, which holds 92.7% of our franchise rights acquired had aas of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value at least 40% higher thanof this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 15%. Based on the results of our May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for our Canada and New Zealand units of account, which hold 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 amount.

In our hypothetical start-up approach analysisvalues. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for fiscal 2017, we assumed that the yearUnited States, Canada and New Zealand may change the results of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequentthe impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the yearUnited 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 maturity, we estimated future cash flows for the meetings business in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. The cash flows associated with the Online business were basedJuly 2, 2022. Based on the expected Online revenueresults of our May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for such country andour remaining units of account, which collectively hold 2.2% of our franchise rights acquired as of the applicationJuly 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of a market-based royalty rate. The cash flows for the meetings and Online businesses were discounted utilizing rates consistent with those utilized in the goodwill impairment analysis.these units of account exceeded their respective carrying values by over 100%.

In performing this impairment analysis for fiscal 2017,2022, in our hypothetical start-up approach analysis, for the year of maturity, we assumed meeting roomWorkshops + Digital revenue (comprised of MeetingWorkshops + Digital Fees (defined hereafter) and revenues from products sold to members in meetings)studios) growth of 16.2%23.0% to 58.3%106.2% in the year of maturity from fiscal 2016,2021, in each case, earned in the applicable country and assumed cumulative annual revenue growth rates for the years beyond the year of maturity of 1.9%2.4%. For the year of maturity and beyond, we assumed operating income margin rates of 7.1%(3.0%) to 22.5%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.

Other 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 97.3% of our total goodwill as of the July 2, 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 2.7% of our goodwill as of the July 2, 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 $4.3 million as of July 2, 2022.

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.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Our management team regularly reviews and analyzes severala 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. TheseWe also believe that these key performance indicators include:

Gross profit and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we ceased offering our Digital 360 product. More than a majority of associated members were transitioned from our Digital business to our Workshops + Digital business during the second quarter, 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 Meeting Subscribers in each business as well as the associated Paid Weeks and Revenues for each business. For additional details on the cessation of our Digital 360 offering and the impact of those former Digital 360 members who transitioned from our Digital business to our Workshops + Digital business, see “—Segment Results.”

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The novel coronavirus (including its variants, COVID-19) pandemic continues to evolve and have unpredictable impacts on consumer sentiment and behavior and on our business operations and the markets in which we operate. 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 has had a significant effect on our recruitments since its onset. 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 Online Subscribers. RecruitmentSubscribers in the second 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 retentionservices and consumer preferences and behavior generally.

The extent to which our operations and business trends will continue in future periods to be impacted by, and any unforeseen costs will result from, the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 will depend largely on future developments, which are key drivershighly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. These developments include, among other things, the severity of any variant or surges in COVID-19 cases, new information about health implications, vaccine availability and hesitancy, and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. This dynamic situation is driving 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.

As we continue to address the impact of the pandemic, and the related evolving legal and consumer landscape, we are focused on how to best meet our members’ and consumers’ needs. 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. We consolidated certain of our studios and continue to close certain other branded studio locations. We continually evaluate our studio locations, and the decision to operate at any particular studio location is influenced by a number of factors, including consumer confidence and preferences, changes in consumer sentiment and behavior, the protection of the health and safety of our employees and members and applicable legal restrictions, and is dependent on cost efficiencies and alignment with our strategy. 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. For more information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for this metric.

Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt

In May 2017, we paid an aggregate amount of cash proceeds totaling $73.0 million plus an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to prepay $75.5 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility.

For the first six 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 to out-of-period income tax adjustments, partially offset by state income tax expense, tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions and tax expense related to tax shortfalls from stock compensation. The tax expense for the first ninesix months of fiscal 20172021 was impacted by the following one-time discrete items occurring intax windfalls from stock compensation. For the first ninesix months of fiscal 2017: (i) an $11.6 million2021, 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 expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to the cessation of operations of our Spanish subsidiaryFDII.

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 use these cash flows, supplemented with long-term debt and short-term borrowings, to fund our operations and global strategic initiatives, pay down debt and opportunistically engage in selective acquisitions. We currently believe that cash generated by operations, during fiscal 2017, our cash on hand of $178.2approximately $148.6 million at September 30, 2017July 2, 2022, our $173.9 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) at July 2, 2022 and our continued cost focus will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for the next twelve months.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 and the availability of our Revolving Credit Facility. 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 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.

Balance Sheet Working Capital

We generally operate with negative working capital that is driven in part by our commitment and subscription plans which are our primary payment method. These plans require members and subscribers to pay us for meetings and Online subscription products before we pay for our obligations in the normal course of business. These prepayments are recorded as a current liability on our balance sheet which has resulted in, and in certain circumstances has helped drive, negative working capital. This core characteristic of our business model is expected to continue. However, in a period in which revenue is increasing, we get higher working capital benefit from this deferred revenue.

The change in derivative (receivable) payable, net was due to a change in fair value driven by the change in interest rates. The decrease in operational liabilities and other, net of assets, which includes accrued salaries and wages, was driven primarily by a decrease in accrued liabilities and an increase in receivables, partially offset by an increase in account payable, all due to seasonality and timing. The decrease in prepaid income taxes was primarily driven bydue to the timing of payments and seasonality. The increase in deferred revenue was driven by improved business performance.tax payments.

In connection with this refinancing, we used the proceeds from borrowings under the Term Facilities to pay off a total of $2,399.9 million of outstanding loans consisting of $128.8 million of Term B Loans, $110.6 million of Term C Loans, $117.6 million of Term D Loans, $1,125.0 million of Term E Loans, $817.9 million of Term F Loans, $21.2 million of loans under the Revolver A-1 and $78.8 million of loans under the Revolver A-2. Following the refinancing of a total of $2,399.9 million of loans, at April 2, 2013, we had $2,400.0 million debt outstanding under the Termour Credit Facilities, and $248.8with $173.9 million of availability under the Revolving Facility. We incurred fees of $44.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 in connection with this refinancing. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we wrote-off fees associated with this refinancing which resulted in our recording a charge of $21.7 million in early extinguishment of debt.

On September 26, 2014, we entered into an agreement with certain lenders amending the Credit Agreement that, among other things, eliminated the Financial Covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to the Revolving Facility. In connection with this amendment, we wrote-off deferred financing fees of approximately $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Concurrently with and in order to effect this amendment, we reduced the amount of the Revolving Facility from $250.0 million to $50.0 million.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, depending on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), on an annual basis on or about the time we are required to deliver our financial statements for any fiscal year, we are obligated to offer to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Facilities in an aggregate amount determined by a percentage of our annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (said payment referred to as a Cash Flow Sweep). On March 13, 2015, we commenced an offer to prepay at a discount to par up to $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility. On March 20, 2015, we accepted offers with a discount equal to or greater than 9.00% in respect of such term loans. On March 25, 2015, we paid an aggregate amount of cash proceeds totaling $57.4 million plus an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to prepay $63.1 million in aggregate principal amount of such term loans under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility. This expenditure reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, our $59.7 million obligation to make a mandatory excess cash flow prepayment offer to the term loan lenders under the terms of the Credit Agreement. In addition, we made a voluntary prepayment at par on March 25, 2015 of $2.5 million in respect of such term loans under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility to reduce the remaining excess cash flow prepayment obligation for fiscal 2014. As a result of this prepayment, we wrote-off fees of $0.3 million, incurred fees of $0.6 million and recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $4.7 million, inclusive of these fees, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

On June 17, 2015, we commenced another offer to prepay at a discount to par up to $229.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility. On June 22, 2015, we accepted offers with a discount equal to or greater than 9.00% in respect of such term loans. On June 26, 2015, we paid an aggregate amount of cash proceeds totaling $77.2 million plus an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to prepay $84.9 million in aggregate principal amount of such term loans under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility. As a result of this prepayment, we wrote-off fees of $0.3 million, incurred fees of $0.6 million and recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $6.7 million, inclusive of these fees, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

On July 14, 2015, we drew down the $48.0 million available on our Revolving Facility in order to enhance our cash position and to provide additional financial flexibility. As of January 2, 2016, the revolver borrowing was classified as a short-term liability in consideration of the fact that the terms of the Revolving Facility require an assessment as to whether there have been any material adverse changes with respect to the Company in connection with our monthly interest elections. Although the revolver borrowing had classified as a short-term liability as of January 2, 2016, absent any change in fact and circumstance, we had, and continue to have, the ability to extend and not repay the Revolving Facility until its due date of April 2, 2018.

On April 1, 2016, we paid in full, with cash on hand, a principal amount of term loans equal to $144.3 million, which constituted the entire remaining principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility due April 2, 2016.

On July 29, 2016, we paid down, with cash on hand, a principal amount of $25.0 million of the $48.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility. On September 16, 2016, we paid down, with cash on hand, the remaining outstanding principal amount of $23.0 million on the Revolving Facility.  


On May 18, 2017, we commenced another offer to prepay at a discount to par up to $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility. On May 24, 2017, we accepted offers with a discount equal to or greater than 3.28% in respect of such term loans. On May 25, 2017, we paid an aggregate amount of cash proceeds totaling $73.0 million plus an amount sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to prepay $75.5 million in aggregate principal amount of such term loans under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility. As a result of this prepayment, we wrote-off fees of $0.6 million, incurred fees of $0.3 million and recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million, inclusive of these fees, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

At September 30, 2017, under the WWI Credit Facility, we had $1,930.4 million outstanding consisting entirely of a term loan under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility. At September 30, 2017, the Revolving Facility had $0 outstanding, $2.2$1.1 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding thereunder and $47.8 million in available unused commitments thereunder. The proceeds fromunder the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (including swing lineas of July 2, 2022.

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 LIBOR loans under the Credit Facilities.

53


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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 July 2, 2022, the applicable margins for the LIBOR 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.

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 additional 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 again to 5.00:1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025. As of July 2, 2022, our actual Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio was 4.60:1.00 and there were no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and total letters of credit)credit issued were $1.1 million. We may not be able to satisfy the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio in the future, and as a result, it may effectively limit the amount of funds we are availableable to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Secured Notes

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021, or, 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.

54


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 usedredeemed, 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 working capitalcash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and general corporate purposes. 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 September 30, 2017July 2, 2022, we had $1,445.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facilities and December 31, 2016,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 July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, our debt consisted entirely of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. An interestInterest rate swap wasswaps 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)costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swap,swaps then in effect, was approximately 4.68%4.63% and 4.41%5.11% per annum at September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on the applicablethese dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs)costs and debt discount) on our outstanding debt, including the impact of the swap,swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.19%5.12% and 5.32%5.62% per annum at September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on the applicablethese dates.

At September 30, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, it is probable that we will have a Cash Flow Sweep obligation of approximately $11.2 million to the term loan lenders in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, LIBOR plus an applicable margin or a base rate plus an applicable margin. LIBOR under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility is subject to a minimum interest rate of 0.75% and the base rate under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility is subject to a minimum interest rate of 1.75%. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, in the event we receive a corporate rating of BB- (or lower) from S&P and a corporate rating of Ba3 (or lower) from Moody’s, the applicable margin relating to the Term Facilities would increase by 25 basis points. On February 21, 2014, both S&P and Moody’s issued revised corporate ratings of the Company of B+ and B1, respectively. As a result, effective February 21, 2014, the applicable margin on borrowings under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility went from 2.75% to 3.00% and on borrowings under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility went from 3.00% to 3.25%. The applicable margin relating to the Revolving Facility will fluctuate depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. At April 1, 2016, the date of payment of the principal amount of loans outstanding under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility discussed above, borrowings under the Tranche B-1 Term Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. At September 30, 2017, borrowings under the Tranche B-2 Term Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%. Based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of September 30, 2017, had there been any borrowings under the Revolving Facility, it would have borne interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. On a quarterly basis, we will pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee will fluctuate, but in no event exceed 0.50% per annum, depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. At our Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 5:49:1.00 as of September 30, 2017, the commitment fee was 0.50% per annum. We also will pay customary letter of credit fees and fronting fees under the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants including covenants that, in certain circumstances, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on and redeem capital stock, make other payments, including investments, sell our assets and enter into consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets. The WWI Credit Facility does not require us to meet any financial maintenance covenants and is guaranteed by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries. Substantially all of our assets secure the WWI Credit Facility.

The following schedule sets forth our year-by-year debt obligations at September 30, 2017:July 2, 2022:

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 September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2016,July 3, 2021, the cumulative balance of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, net of taxes, was a gain of $3.5 million and a loss of $10.8 million and $29.3$15.9 million, respectively. At September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2016,July 3, 2021, the cumulative balance of the effects of foreign currency translations, net of taxes, was a loss of $4.0$14.1 million and $8.3a loss of $2.9 million, respectively.

Dividends and Stock Transactions

We do not currently pay a cash dividend.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 itour Board of Directors may deem relevant. The WWI Credit Facility also contains restrictions onIn addition, our ability to pay dividends onmay be limited by covenants in our common stock.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, addingthe 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 September 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and October 1, 2016,July 3, 2021, we repurchased no shares of our common stock in the open market under this program.

The WWI Credit Facility provides that we are permitted to pay dividends and extraordinary dividends, as well as repurchase shares of our common stock, so long as we are not in default under the Credit Agreement. However, payment of extraordinary dividends and stock repurchases shall not exceed $100.0 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year if our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.25:1. As of September 30, 2017, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was greater than 3.25:1 and we expect that it will remain above 3.25:1 for the foreseeable future.

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. 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 extinguishment of debt.

The “Adjusted EBITDAS” measure is a non-GAAP financial measure that (i) adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the three months ended July 2, 2022 to exclude the impact of the $26.4 million of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and the net impact of the $19.1 million of 2022 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.6 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges; (ii) adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the three months ended July 3, 2021 to exclude the net impact of the $6.0 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.8 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges and the impact of the $29.2 million early extinguishment of debt; (iii) adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the six months ended July 2, 2022 to exclude the impact of the $26.4 million of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments and the net impact of the $19.1 million of 2022 plan restructuring charges, the reversal of $0.3 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.1 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges; (iv) adjusts the consolidated statements of net income for the six months ended July 3, 2021 to exclude the net impact of the $11.6 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.8 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges and the impact of the $29.2 million early extinguishment of debt; and (v) adjusts EBITDAS for the trailing twelve months ended July 2, 2022 to exclude the impact of the $26.4 million of franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, the net impact of the $19.1 million of 2022 plan restructuring charges, the $9.7 million of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $0.9 million of 2020 plan restructuring charges and the impact of the $1.2 million early extinguishment of debt. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for an explanation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures.

Reducing leverage is a clear capital structure priority for the Company. As part of our commitment to deleveraging, we are targeting a year end 2018 net debt/EBITDAS ratio of less than 4.5x, based on improved operating performance and cash generation. As of September 30, 2017 our trailing twelve months EBITDAS was $328.3 million and our net debt/EBITDAS ratio was 5.3x.

We present EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS because we consider them to be useful supplemental measures of our performance. 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“—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 transactionsarrangements 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 business is seasonal due to the importance of the winter season to our overall member recruitment environment. Our advertising schedule generally supportsHistorically, we experience our highest level of recruitment during the three key recruitment-generating seasonsfirst quarter of the year: winter, spring and fall,year, which is supported with winter having the highest concentration of advertising spending. Therefore, our number of End of Period Subscribers in the first quarter of the year is typically higher than the number in other quarters of the year, historically reflecting a decline over the course of the year.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2017,July 2, 2022, the market risk disclosures appearing in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 20162021 have not materially changed from December 31, 2016.January 1, 2022.

At the end of the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2022, borrowings under the Tranche B-2 Term FacilityCredit Facilities bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%3.50%. For the Tranche B-2 Term Loan Facility, the minimum interest rate for LIBOR applicable to such facility pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement iswas set at 0.75%0.50%, referred to herein as the B-2 LIBOR Floor. In addition, at the endas of the third quarter of fiscal 2017,July 2, 2022, our interest rate swapswaps in effect had aan aggregate notional amount of $1.25 billion.$500.0 million. Accordingly, as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017,July 2, 2022, based on the amount of variable rate debt outstanding and the then-current LIBOR rate, after giving consideration to the impact of the interest rate swapswaps and the B-2 LIBOR Floor, a hypothetical 5090 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $3.4$4.0 million and a hypothetical 5090 basis point decrease in interest rates would have decreased annual interest expense by approximately $4.0 million. This increase isand decrease would have been driven primarily driven by the interest rate applicable to our Tranche B-2 Term Loan Facility. This decrease is primarily driven by the lower debt balance resulting from our Tranche B-2 Term Facility prepayment of $73.0 million as well as the principal payments during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2017.
