The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WW International, Inc., all of its subsidiaries and the variable interest entities of which WW International, Inc. is the primary beneficiary. The terms “Company” and “WW” as used throughout these notes are used to indicate WW International, Inc. and all of its operations consolidated for purposes of its financial statements. The Company’s “Behavioral” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s digital product offerings with the option to add on unlimited access to the Company’s workshops. The Company’s “Clinical” business refers to providing subscriptions to the Company’s clinical product offerings provided by WeightWatchers Clinic combined with the Company’s digital subscription product offerings and unlimited access to the Company’s workshops.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and assumptions. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions 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.

Beginning in the Successor Period (as defined below), the Company began reporting product development costs separately within the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Product development costs include personnel-related costs such as salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation as well as engineering, design, data, and other costs related to product development, such as software licenses. Product development costs were also recast in the Predecessor Periods (as defined below). Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 filed on February 28, 2025, which includes additional information about the Company, its results of operations, its financial position and its cash flows.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

On May 6, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), WW International, Inc. and its subsidiaries WW North America Holdings, LLC, WW Canada Holdco, Inc., WW.com, LLC, W Holdco, Inc., WW Health Solutions, Inc., Weekend Health, Inc. and WW NewCo, Inc. (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). Subsequently, on May 30, 2025, the Debtors filed with the Court the First Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of WW International, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates, Docket No. 143 (as supplemented, the “Plan”), and on June 24, 2025 (the “Emergence Date”), the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. Refer to Note 2 “Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11” for additional information.

Between the Petition Date and the Emergence Date, the Debtors entered into certain first day motions and received approval from the Court to take certain operating actions under the supervision of the Court. The effect of the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy has been applied to the financial statements as of close of business on June 24, 2025. As used herein, the following terms refer to the Company and its operations:

“Predecessor”

The Company, prior to and including the Emergence Date

“Current Predecessor Period”

The Company’s operations, March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025

        and December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025

“Successor”

The Company, after the Emergence Date

“Successor Period”

The Company’s operations, June 25, 2025 through June 30, 2025

 

In accordance with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Successor’s unaudited consolidated financial statements after June 24, 2025 are not comparable with the Predecessor’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date. The fair value of the assets and liabilities following the reorganization may differ from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor.

All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections related to fresh start accounting, including the fair value adjustments, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, no assurances can be provided that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.

The Debtors applied ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) during the period from the Petition Date to the Emergence Date. The prepetition liabilities that are unsecured, under-secured or where it could not be determined that the liabilities are fully secured, were classified to “Liabilities subject to compromise” through the Emergence Date (see Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting”). For the period from the Petition Date to the Emergence Date, the Predecessor prepared the unaudited financial statements by distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that were realized or incurred during and directly related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including fresh start valuation adjustments and gains on liabilities subject to compromise, were recorded as reorganization items, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations in the Current Predecessor Period.

Due to the lack of comparability with historical financial statements, the Company’s unaudited financial statements and related footnotes are presented with a “black line” that separates the Predecessor and Successor Periods to emphasize the lack of comparability between amounts presented after the Emergence Date and amounts presented for all prior periods. The Successor’s financial results for future periods following the application of fresh start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material. Refer to Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information.

Fiscal Year Change

Following emergence from bankruptcy, the Company changed its fiscal year end from a 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31, and the respective quarterly periods, to a calendar year ending on December 31 with quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and prior periods were not adjusted.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As noted above, the Debtors voluntarily commenced and completed a prepackaged bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to restructure the Company’s debt and allow increased operating cash flow for funding its operations and strategic initiatives. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience significant disruption and competitive pressures, including shifts in consumer behavior in the weight loss category. There is also a rapid proliferation of GLP-1 and other medications available as weight-loss options, an evolving regulatory landscape, and significantly increased competition from new entrants. These factors have negatively impacted the Company’s business.

The Successor has assessed the impact of the current disruption and competitive pressures on its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. To support this assessment, the Successor has analyzed the following factors: (1) its current financial condition, including available liquidity sources; (2) both conditional and unconditional obligations that are due or anticipated, including any required prepayments of excess cash under the senior secured credit agreement described in Note 8; (3) the funds necessary to sustain operations in light of its current financial condition, obligations, and expected cash flows; and (4) any other conditions or events that may adversely impact the Successor’s ability to meet its obligations for at least one year after the issuance date of the financial statements. Based on such evaluation, the Successor has concluded that it is probable the Successor will have sufficient liquidity to meet its future cash needs with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations for at least one year after the issuance date of the financial statements as the restructuring of its debt significantly reduced the amount of outstanding debt and ongoing interest payments.

The Successor’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents. The Successor had unrestricted cash on hand of $152,379 as of June 30, 2025 (Successor). The Company also had a senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), which provided for a five-year term loan (the “New Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $465,000 maturing on June 24, 2030 with required contractual repayments only expected to be annual prepayments to be made for excess cash above $100,000 applicable to the last 10 calendar days of the first quarter. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025 (Successor), the Company had $3,659 in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding with Bank of America, N.A., which are permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and issued pursuant to separate reimbursement and cash collateral agreements. Given the Company’s current and forecasted liquidity position, it does not foresee needing access to additional sources of liquidity in the next 12 months.
