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 Weight Watchers Clinic and third parties 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 Companys 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.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 filed on March 16, 2026, which includes additional information about the Company, its results of operations, its financial position and its cash flows.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

As previously disclosed, 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.

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 the close of business on June 24, 2025.

As used herein, references to “Predecessor” relate to the Company and its operations prior to and including the Emergence Date and references to “Successor” relate to the Company and its operations after the Emergence Date.

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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, 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. 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 as 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 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.

Liquidity

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 market disruption and competitive pressures, and shifts in consumer behavior in the weight loss category. This includes a rapid adoption 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. While the Clinical business is growing, it has not yet been able to offset the declines in the Behavioral business, resulting in decreased revenue overall. Further, the Company has historically had recurring net losses.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary cash needs are funding its operations and global strategic initiatives, meeting debt service requirements and other financing commitments. The Company had unrestricted cash on hand of $101,497 as of June 30, 2026 (Successor). 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.
