The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the text of the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in Items 2.02 and 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document or filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On August 1, 2024, WW International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item2.05.

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 27, 2024, in connection with the strategic streamlining of its operational structure to optimize its clinical and behavioral product portfolio and its cost-savings initiative, the Company committed to a plan of reduction in force that will result in the elimination of certain positions and the termination of employment for certain employees worldwide (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Company anticipates recording restructuring charges that it currently estimates will range between $12.0 million to $15.0 million in the aggregate with respect to employee termination benefit costs, which are expected to consist primarily of general and administrative expenses. These charges are expected to be recorded in the second half of fiscal 2024. Substantially all of the costs arising from the Restructuring Plan are expected to result in cash expenditures related to separation payments and other employee termination expenses. The Company expects the Restructuring Plan to be fully executed by the end of fiscal 2025.

 

Item5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 27, 2024, in connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the elimination of the position of Chief Technology Officer effective August 9, 2024 and the related departure from the Company of Pierre-Olivier Latour, the Company’s current Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Latour will cease providing services to the Company on August 9, 2024 (the “Leave Date”) and his employment will be terminated effective October 31, 2024 (the “Departure Date”, and such period between the Leave Date and the Departure Date, the “Leave Period”). In connection with his departure from the Company, on July 31, 2024, Mr. Latour entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of the Company regarding the termination of his employment (the “Agreement”). The material terms of the Agreement are as follows: (i) during the Leave Period, the continued payment of his base salary as of the Leave Date, such amount not to exceed $137,9791 in the aggregate, and the continued provision of his contractual benefits and (ii) the payment of an aggregate cash amount of up to $427,2892 to be paid in substantially equal installments via salary continuation over a 9-month period following his Departure Date. All of Mr. Latour’s unvested equity awards as of the Departure Date will be forfeited. Mr. Latour is subject to covenants with respect to non-competition and non-solicitation of employees of the Company for one year following the Departure Date as well as with respect to confidentiality for perpetuity. In the Agreement, Mr. Latour released all claims against the Company and all of its affiliates, related entities, predecessors and successors.

The live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company’s corporate website, corporate.ww.com, under Events and Presentations.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and today’s scheduled conference call:

To supplement the Company’s consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), operating income (loss) margin and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed 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 2024 to exclude the impact or net impact, as applicable, of charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”) and the Company’s previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”); (ii) the first six months of fiscal 2024 to exclude (x) the impact of impairment charges for the Company’s franchise rights acquired related to its United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom units of account and (y) the net impact of charges associated with the 2023 plan and the 2022 plan; and (iii) the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 to exclude (x) the net impact of (a) charges associated with the 2023 plan, (b) charges associated with the 2022 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (c) charges associated with the Company’s 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 (d) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”) and (y) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence. The Company generally refers to such non-GAAP measures as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired impairments, the impact or net impact, as applicable, of restructuring charges, and the impact of acquisition transaction costs, as applicable. The Company also presents in the attachments to this release 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 certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (“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. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year EBITDAS outlook to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.


Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s 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 titled measures reported by other companies. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
