Revenue of $162.3 million; Clinical Subscription Revenue of $39.9 million, up 30.4% year-over-year

Reaffirms Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WW International, Inc. (Nasdaq: WW) (“Weight Watchers” or the “Company”), the global leader in science-backed weight management, today announced its results for the second quarter of 2026 ended June 30, 20261 in this Earnings Press Release and a Shareholder Letter issued today and posted on the Company’s Corporate Website.

“We view 2026 as a year of focused transition for Weight Watchers, and our Q2 results reflect that work taking hold across the business,” said Jon Volkmann, Chief Operations Officer and member of the Company’s Interim Office of the Chief Executive. “Core+, our high-value Behavioral tier delivering tailored expert coaching and integrated weight health support, posted sequential subscriber growth for the third consecutive quarter, underscoring that members continue to embrace our holistic approach.”

“We are pleased with the continued momentum in Core+, which saw subscriber count grow 13.9% year-over-year and represents a clear signal that interest in our Behavioral business is stabilizing while our Clinical business continues to grow,” said Felicia DellaFortuna, Chief Financial Officer and member of the Company’s Interim Office of the Chief Executive. “End of Period Clinical Subscribers grew 55.7% year-over-year, and the sequential stability we saw in subscribers from Q1 to Q2 2026 reflects a deliberate recalibration of marketing investment following elevated peak season spend. We are reaffirming our full-year 2026 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA2 guidance. With a business that remains cash accretive and generated positive operating cash flow in Q2, we have confidence in our ability to continue building momentum into 2027 and beyond.”

Q2 Business Updates

Q2 2026 Clinical Subscription Revenue grew 30.4% year-over-year and End of Period Clinical Subscribers grew 55.7% year-over-year, despite lapping significant prior-year growth in Q2 2025 from the Company’s former compounded semaglutide offering. End of Period Clinical Subscribers were flat compared to Q1 2026, as the Company strategically recalibrated its Clinical marketing investment following elevated spend in Q1 2026.Core+ represented 541 thousand End of Period Subscribers at the end of Q2 2026, up 13.9% from Q2 2025, representing the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth in the Company’s higher-value Behavioral tier.Q2 Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber (ARPU) increased 10.2% year-over-year, driven by the continued mix shift towards Clinical.Q2 Gross Margin was 70.3%. Q2 Adjusted Gross Margin2 was 73.6%, which remained near record highs, reflecting continued operational discipline across the Company’s portfolio.Marketing expense was $47.9 million or 29.5% of Revenue, declining from $92.9 million in Q1 2026 as the Company moved past peak season and rebalanced investment across its business lines.Q2 Net Income was $14.1 million, which reflects higher depreciation and amortization related to Fresh Start Accounting1. Q2 Adjusted EBITDA2 was $39.8 million.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Updates

Cash and Cash Equivalents balance as of June 30, 2026 was $101.5 million.Operating activities generated $24.3 million of cash in Q2 2026, reflecting the cash-generative nature of the Weight Watchers business and continued commitment to maintaining a strong liquidity position as the Company executes its strategic priorities.In Q2 2026, the Company prepaid $36.8 million in cash to reduce the principal amount of its outstanding term loan. The prepayment was comprised of the following two components: In June 2026, $26.8 million in aggregate principal amount of prepayment from the annual cash sweep; andIn May 2026, $10.0 million as part of the voluntary solicitation, which was fully subscribed at 68.5% of par. As a result of these actions, the Company reduced the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding term loan by $41.4 million and reduced its annualized interest expense by approximately $4 million3.

1Fresh Start Accounting and Predecessor and Successor Periods

In connection with the Company’s emergence from its financial reorganization process on June 24, 2025, the Company applied fresh start accounting which resulted in Successor and Predecessor financial statement presentation. References to “Successor” relate to the Company’s operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025. References to “Predecessor” relate to the Company’s operations for the periods from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 and December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements after June 24, 2025 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

2Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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. The Company presents in this release non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and share-based compensation expense (“EBITDA”); and for each period presented, EBITDA adjusted, as applicable, for (a) goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments, (b) reorganization items, net related to the Company’s emergence from its Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (c) gain on extinguishment of debt, (d) transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company’s Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (e) net restructuring charges associated with the previously disclosed 2025, 2024, and 2023 restructuring plans, (f) non-recurring expenses in connection with the management of certain executive matters, and (g) other items such as the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses as indicated in the reconciliations below that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company also presents gross profit, gross margin, marketing expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, and product development expenses on a non-GAAP basis that adjusts for similar items, as further indicated in the reconciliations below.

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes in certain cases the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s operating results and evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company uses results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate the Company’s performance. In this press release, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. The Company generally refers 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 the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of the Company’s business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business. While the Company 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” in 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.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking full year Adjusted EBITDA 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.

3The interest rate in effect for the term loan as of June 30, 2026 was 10.53%.

In addition, “Other Revenue” consists of revenue from licensing, franchise fees with respect to commitment plans and royalties, publishing and other revenue. “Revenue” consists of the aggregate of Subscription Revenue and Other Revenue.

“Incoming Subscribers” - “Subscribers” refer to Behavioral subscribers and Clinical subscribers who participate in recurring bill programs in Company-owned operations.

Management utilizes this metric to monitor changes in the subscriber base which directly impacts the Company’s revenue growth and trends.

“End of Period Subscribers” - The “End of Period Subscribers” metric reports Subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period end. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric. Management utilizes this metric to monitor changes in the subscriber base which directly impacts the Company’s revenue growth and trends.

“Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber” (“ARPU”) - The “Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber” metric reports the monthly fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s offerings divided by the Average Subscriber for its businesses. Monthly Subscription Revenue for both quarterly and year-to-date periods for each respective business are calculated as Subscription Revenue divided by the number of months in the respective quarterly or year-to-date period. The “Average Subscriber” for quarterly periods for each respective business is the average of its Incoming Subscribers and End of Period Subscribers for the respective quarterly period. The “Average Subscriber” for year-to-date periods for each respective business is the average of its Incoming Subscribers at the beginning of the fiscal year and its End of Period Subscribers for each quarter end within the respective year-to-date period. Management utilizes this metric to consider revenue growth and trends on a per subscriber basis.

Weight Watchers Med+ nabídne GLP-1 přes Medicare
WW Weight Watchers International
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“Weight Watchers”), the global leader in science-backed weight health, today announced that Weight Watchers Med+ will support Medicare members seeking access to GLP-1 medications under the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program.

Through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program, eligible beneficiaries purchase GLP-1 medications for weight loss, including Zepbound®, KwikPen®, Foundayo®, and Wegovy® pen and pill, for $50 per month. The program will run from July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. In addition to prescribing medication when appropriate and managing care for these medications, Weight Watchers helps Med+ members navigate insurance coverage, paperwork, and prior authorizations so they can easily access care.

“For many people, weight loss is about health, mobility and being able to keep doing the things they love. At Weight Watchers, our goal is to make the process feel less overwhelming by helping members understand their options, access care and receive a GLP-1 prescription if they’re eligible, while also providing the support they need to live well on treatment,” said Scott Honken, PharmD, Chief Commercial Officer, Weight Watchers.

To qualify for the Medicare Bridge program, you must have Medicare Part D, meet clinical eligibility, and have a prescription for an eligible GLP-1 medication. This medication must be used alongside ongoing lifestyle changes, including nutrition and physical activity, to support weight loss and maintenance.

As Medicare beneficiaries consider GLP-1 treatment, Weight Watchers, a trusted brand for older adults on their health journey, offers comprehensive care beyond providing a prescription. Our Med + program blends clinical oversight with behavioral tools to deliver sustainable results. In addition to clinical care, members access nutrition support, medication tracking, refill reminders, and expert GLP-1 coaches through our integrated GLP-1 Success Program. Crucially for older adults, the program includes tailored strength-building guidance to preserve muscle mass and reduce the risk of frailty and falls.

Weight Watchers data show that Med+ members prescribed a GLP-1 medication who regularly engaged with the GLP-1 Success Program lost 29.1% more body weight on average at 12 months than those who did not engage in behavioral support.1 In addition, 73% of Med+ members given the GLP-1 Success Program say that Weight Watchers Med+ helps minimize weight-loss medication side effects.2

1 Based on an internal analysis of 3,325 members who requested at least 1 GLP-1 medication refill through Weight Watchers Med+ and self-reported both a starting weight and weight at week 52. On average, members who logged in to the GLP-1 Success Program at least 4 days each week (n=376) lost 22.20% body weight, and members who never logged in to the app (n=2,949) lost 17.20% body weight in 52 weeks. Not a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Self-reported outcomes have not been independently verified. Individual results may vary.
2 Based on an internal data analysis of 92,160 members who received a treatment plan, were prescribed an injectable GLP-1 medication through Weight Watchers, and recorded their starting weight and completed a weigh-in 4 weeks after starting their treatment plan.
