The Western Union Company (WU) Presents at J.P. Morgan 54th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference Transcript

The Western Union Company remains a Buy, with conviction strengthened by its stablecoin launch and accelerated digital transformation, despite recent share price stagnation. WU's stablecoin, USDPT, and digital asset initiatives are reshaping its settlement infrastructure, targeting efficiency, new revenue streams, and broader digital adoption. Short-term risks include margin pressure, North American weakness, and regulatory uncertainty around the Intermex acquisition, but 2026 EPS/revenue guidance is reaffirmed.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and Western Union, the global money transfer network, today announced that its users can now access USDPT, a US dollar–denominated stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A. on the Solana blockchain, via Bybit's fiat channels. This integration makes Bybit the first major crypto exchange to join Western Union’s global USDPT network.

Through this launch, Bybit and Western Union are building the foundations for a deeper, faster, and compliant integration of digital assets into the broader financial system. Starting with the onboarding of USDPT, Bybit and Western Union will expand on digital asset utility and towards a more inclusive vision for the future of finance.

USDPT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., a US national trust bank. USDPT is redeemable 1:1 for US dollars, and is fully backed by reserves. USDPT is designed to operate within real-world payment systems, combining blockchain-based settlement with Western Union’s global compliance, risk and distribution capabilities.

Bybit brings the exchange platform, fiat liquidity, and access to millions of users. Western Union brings the stablecoin, the institutional backing, and one of the world's most established financial networks. Together, they open up a new way to buy and sell USDPT in local currencies.

Bybit has been building the crypto infrastructure to address real-world financial services gaps since 2018. USDPT, built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, is where those two trajectories meet.

In practice, that means a new on- and off-ramp channel for USDPT in selected markets across Latin America. Users can buy USDPT with supported fiat currencies on Bybit, or convert holdings back to any of those currencies at any time.

“Making USDPT available through a leading global exchange like Bybit is a meaningful step in extending Western Union’s network into the digital asset ecosystem,” said Malcolm Clarke, Head of Digital Assets at Western Union. “By connecting our global payout infrastructure with a major crypto platform, we’re enabling more seamless movement between digital value and real-world money. This is where we see the future of settlement heading: always-on, programmable, and integrated across both traditional and digital financial systems, with USDPT at the center as a trusted, regulated settlement asset.”

“This product marks a meaningful step for crypto adoption. When an established financial institution joins forces with a leading crypto exchange in a new stablecoin network, it shows crypto’s potential as payment infrastructure. For the millions who depend on remittances, USDPT represents financial innovation that solves real problems for real people,” said Victoria Kilikyan, Deputy Head of Fiat at Bybit.

"Bybit and Western Union are setting a new standard for real-world crypto adoption in Latin America. We're building infrastructure for the future of the digital economy by working with an established global network that millions of people already trust," said Patricio Mesri, Country Manager of Spanish-speaking Latin America at Bybit.

USDPT is now available on Bybit. To transact with USDPT, eligible users may simply log into Bybit and select the token, if available to their account, and buy or sell through Bybit One-Click Buy.

The simple flow slashes the time needed from USDPT purchase to fiat off-ramp from days to minutes. Through the new channel, senders benefit from faster delivery of funds and lower overall costs. For Western Union and Bybit, it streamlines operations by removing settlement friction and capital lock-up across multiple layers.

USDPT was launched as part of Western Union's broader digital asset strategy. The innovation creates a new layer parallel to legacy settlement networks that operate only on business days, enabling around-the-clock settlement.

Terms and conditions apply. For details on eligibility and potential restrictions, and to learn more about how to trade USDPT on Bybit, users may visit: Bybit and Western Union bring USDPT to Latin America

Disclaimer: USDPT is a digital asset issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A.. USDPT is not issued, backed, approved, or guaranteed by the US government. Bybit does not issue, back, or guarantee USDPT. Bybit provides only a virtual asset trading platform and does not provide any remittance, foreign-exchange, cash, or money transfer services.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: WVE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on unlocking the broad potential of RNA medicines to transform human health, today announced that its board of directors has unanimously approved a plan to redomicile the parent company of the Wave Life Sciences group of companies from Singapore to the United States (the Redomiciliation).

Through Wave Life Sciences’ listing on Nasdaq, the majority of the company’s operations, its corporate headquarters, the majority of its operating assets, including its manufacturing and research and development facilities, along with the majority of its employees, management team and board of directors being in the United States, Wave already has a substantial U.S. presence. Having Wave’s parent company domiciled in the United States will streamline Wave’s organizational, statutory and regulatory structure, resulting in administrative efficiencies and reducing dual financial reporting, regulatory, legal and other compliance costs, among other benefits.

“We believe the United States is the best place for Wave to enhance shareholder value. With several of our investigational therapies showing tremendous potential to become first- and/or best-in-class treatments, now is the right time and becoming a Delaware corporation is the right strategic move for Wave in order to better align our parent company’s domicile with our operations and our people,” said Kyle Moran, Chief Financial Officer of Wave Life Sciences.

Subject to the receipt of necessary Wave shareholder and Singapore High Court approvals, pursuant to the Redomiciliation transaction, the ordinary shares of the existing Singapore parent company (Wave Life Sciences Ltd.) will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for common stock in a newly-formed Delaware parent corporation (Wave Life Sciences, Inc.). Wave Life Sciences, Inc. will become the ultimate parent company of the Wave Life Sciences group of companies and will operate the business of the group in substantially the same manner as the company has done previously. Upon completion of the Redomiciliation, the shares of common stock of the new Delaware parent corporation (Wave Life Sciences, Inc.) will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under Wave’s existing trading symbol “WVE”. The company will remain subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Wave will continue to report its consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars and under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Wave is filing its preliminary proxy materials with the SEC today in preparation for a company shareholder meeting to approve the Redomiciliation. The Redomiciliation is subject to the approval of Wave’s shareholders and the Singapore High Court. Subject to receiving the requisite approvals, Wave expects the Redomiciliation to take effect in mid-2026. The Redomiciliation is expected to be tax-free to Wave’s U.S. shareholders.

Wave Life Sciences (WVE - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.13 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.34. This compares to a loss of $0.29 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +61.31%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this biopharmaceutical company would post a loss of $0.28 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.3, delivering a surprise of -7.14%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

Wave Life Sciences, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $38.25 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 256.61%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $9.18 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Wave Life Sciences shares have lost about 59.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.8%.

What's Next for Wave Life Sciences?While Wave Life Sciences has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Wave Life Sciences was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

Data reinforce WVE-006's potential to address both lung and liver manifestations of AATD with a durable, convenient, and safe therapy capable of recapitulating the protective MZ-like phenotype with monthly dosing

The sponsorship helps expand proven strategies to consistently detect a genetic, irreversible, and progressive condition in patients with liver and/or lung disease.

, /PRNewswire/ -- AlphaDetect, the nonprofit organization powered and funded by the Alpha-1 Foundation (A1F), today announced Wave Life Sciences as an inaugural industry sponsor. The support further strengthens efforts to accelerate routine targeted detection of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1) in people impacted by liver and/or lung disease, consistent with clinical practice guidelines.

Wave Life Science AlphaDetect is dedicated to identifying everyone at risk for this progressive, irreversible genetic condition by elevating awareness and removing barriers to detection. The organization will provide free genetic testing for Alpha-1 in their proprietary laboratory, at no cost to insurance or patients. In addition, they provide support from a committed engagement team for healthcare providers. These efforts will increase the availability of Alpha-1 detection tools and support at the practice level while also partnering with healthcare providers to strategically advance protocols and technologies across healthcare systems.

"We know from conversations with the Alpha-1 community that AATD (Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency) is highly underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed. We're proud to support AlphaDetect as an inaugural sponsor and especially excited about this centralized lab for Alpha-1 testing and detection, supported by a team dedicated to the Alpha-1 community," said Christopher Wright, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Wave Life Sciences. "In addition to genetic testing, AlphaDetect is part of a broader effort to connect people living with Alpha-1 to care, resources, and ongoing research that may potentially have a significant impact on their quality of life and the progression of their disease."

"Alpha-1 is a progressive, genetic lung and liver condition where delays in detection may have real, irreversible consequences," said Julie Murray, CEO of AlphaDetect. "The ability to scale proven approaches to identifying at-risk patients, quickly and systematically, can inform timely decisions for those impacted. The support and commitment from Wave Life Sciences are important and appreciated as we continue to advance Alpha-1 detection."

Alpha-1 remains significantly underdiagnosed, with more than 90% of affected individuals estimated to be unidentified. It is also the leading known genetic risk factor for COPD and is associated with liver disease in both children and adults. Importantly, detection also provides a point of entry into the Alpha-1 community, opening the door to the comprehensive information, support, and resources needed for the journey ahead.

"This support builds on Wave Life Science's focus on novel approaches to support the Alpha-1 community and represents an important step forward in how we advance detection," said Scott Santarella, CEO of the Alpha-1 Foundation. "By expanding these efforts through AlphaDetect, we can identify more individuals earlier and deliver on A1F's mission of improving their lives."

The latest clinical guidelines recommend testing for Alpha-1 in all individuals with COPD, treatment-resistant asthma, or unexplained liver disease. Yet real-world results fall far short of this. AlphaDetect is committed to closing the gap. Wave Life Science's sponsorship and commitment will help AlphaDetect scale efforts to enhance provider education, broaden detection strategies, and work across the Alpha-1 community to identify individuals with Alpha-1.

About AlphaDetect 

AlphaDetect, founded in 2025, accelerates detection to uncover everyone genetically at risk for Alpha-1. Located in Durham, NC, AlphaDetect will operate as a limited liability company and a non-profit subsidiary of Alpha-1 Foundation, holding tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.

WW International (NASDAQ:WW), the global weight management company formerly known as Weight Watchers, released its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, showing stronger-than-expected earnings despite a year-over-year decline in total revenue. The company's shares surged more than 12% following the report, trading just shy of $24 on Monday morning.

NEW YORK, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“Weight Watchers”), the global leader in science-backed weight health, today announced that eligible Weight Watchers Med+ members will have access to subscription pricing for Wegovy® that significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs and is a result of expanded collaboration between Weight Watchers and Novo Nordisk.

The new subscription offer gives Weight Watchers Med+ members access to the lowest available self-pay price in the market for doses of Wegovy not otherwise available through limited-time offers, saving cash-pay members up to $1,200 per year. The announcement coincides with Novo Nordisk’s launch of the industry’s first-of-its-kind medication subscription pricing model for Wegovy and reinforces Weight Watchers’ role as a NovoCare® Recognized Care Provider and leader in integrated, evidence-based GLP-1 care.

“Novo Nordisk and Weight Watchers are each committed to helping those living with obesity take control of their health–and we are strengthening our collaboration to support that shared mission,” said Ed Cinca, Senior Vice President Marketing and Patient Solutions at Novo Nordisk. “We are making our subscription prices available to Med+ members to help them get and stay on treatment. This subscription option adds to ongoing efforts to meet people where they are, bringing transparency and predictability to those seeking treatment for obesity management.”

Through the new offer, eligible Med+ members with a valid prescription can pre-pay for three, six, or 12 months of Wegovy at a discounted monthly rate, including Wegovy pens across all doses and Wegovy pills at 9 mg and 25 mg doses. Depending on the commitment length, members can save up to $100 per month on pens and up to $50 per month on pills, versus the standard monthly self-pay price. Even without a multi-month commitment, members can take advantage of existing limited-time pricing offers, including starting doses of the Wegovy pill for only $149 per month. These offers give Med+ members best in market pricing for self-pay Wegovy.

“GLP-1s have helped millions across the world take control of their health -- but many more can't access these medications due to high costs.” said Scott Honken, Chief Commercial Officer of Weight Watchers. “That's why Weight Watchers is proud to introduce an expanded collaboration with Novo Nordisk, which gives our eligible Med+ members a more affordable and predictable path to access FDA-approved Wegovy. These reduced costs, combined with our unique lifestyle support system that drives 29% greater weight loss than the drugs alone, will continue to help Weight Watchers deliver the best GLP-1 results on the market.”

The expanded collaboration builds on Weight Watchers’ long-standing relationship with Novo Nordisk and reflects a shared commitment from both Weight Watchers and Novo Nordisk to improve access to FDA-approved weight health treatment.

Weight Watchers’ Med+ platform offers access to board-certified physicians, FDA-approved prescriptions, and lifestyle support to drive better outcomes and create lasting habits that can sustain results over time. Combined with the GLP-1 Success program, the Weight Watchers’ program helps members stay consistent with the tools they need for success throughout their GLP-1 journey.

The new medication commitment pricing offer comes as Weight Watchers’ clinical business grows rapidly, underscoring rising demand for its integrated GLP-1 model as more consumers seek a comprehensive approach to weight health.

As GLP-1 medications continue to reshape obesity care, Weight Watchers remains focused on what drives lasting results: pairing FDA-approved treatment with structured nutritional, behavioral, and lifestyle support. This expanded collaboration with Novo Nordisk marks another step in making that integrated model more affordable, accessible, and sustainable for the people who need it.

The addition of Foundayo® (orforglipron) gives Weight Watchers Med+ members a new FDA-approved oral GLP-1 option for weight loss April 09, 2026 09:00 ET  | Source: WW International Inc.

NEW YORK, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW) (“Weight Watchers”), the global leader in science-backed weight management, announced that it is now offering access to Eli Lilly and Company’s newly FDA-approved oral GLP-1, Foundayo® (orforglipron) through its Med+ offering and affiliated medical groups. The addition gives members a new once-daily, injection-free option for adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related medical problems and further expands the company’s growing portfolio of FDA-approved oral GLP-1 treatments, all within a clinically supported program designed to help them succeed.

Through Weight Watchers Med+, clinically eligible members will be able to access this newly approved medication alongside care from board-certified clinicians, insurance support, and additional tools designed to support the treatment journey. All Med+ members also receive direct access to the Weight Watchers GLP-1 Success program to support them before, during, and after medication use.

For members choosing self-pay, pricing will start at $149 per month for the lowest dose, with pricing varying by dose.

“As the weight health landscape evolves, it’s important that people have access to a broad range of FDA-approved treatment options that reflect different needs, preferences, and routines,” said Scott Honken, Chief Commercial Officer at Weight Watchers. “With this new offering, Weight Watchers is expanding access to a new FDA-approved option through a trusted platform built to help members access treatment with clinical support and ongoing guidance.”

Weight Watchers Med+ enables access, if appropriate, to medications like Foundayo with an integrated support model designed to help members navigate treatment in real life. Among Med+ members prescribed a GLP-1, those who regularly engaged with the GLP-1 Success Program for 12 months lost 29.1% more body weight, on average, than those who did not engage in behavioral support.

“At Lilly, we are committed to expanding access to innovative treatments that meet the diverse needs of people living with obesity,” said Laura Steele, Group Vice President of U.S. Cardiometabolic Health at Lilly. “Expanding choice means more people can find a treatment pathway that meets patients where they are in their journey.”

“As more and more people are seeking GLP-1 medications, it is more critical than ever for comprehensive care models to support lasting outcomes,” said Mike Mason, a member of Weight Watchers’ Board of Directors and former President of Eli Lilly’s Diabetes and Obesity business. “Weight Watchers stands at the forefront of this evolution with its clinical credibility, behavior change expertise, and community support.”

On April 30, 2026, Eli Lilly and Co LLY released its 8-K filing detailing first-quarter 2026 results. Revenue rose 56% year over year to $19.8 billion as strong volume growth, led by Mounjaro and Zepbound, more than offset lower realized prices. Reported EPS increased 170% to $8.26 and non-GAAP EPS increased 156% to $8.55. Revenue of $19.80 billion exceeded the estimated revenue of $17.62 billion. Reported EPS of $8.26 was higher than the estimated EPS of $7.02. Non-GAAP EPS of $8.55 was higher than the estimated EPS of $7.02.

Eli Lilly is a drug firm with a focus on neuroscience, cardiometabolic, cancer, and immunology. Lilly's key products include Verzenio for cancer; Mounjaro, Zepbound, Jardiance, Trulicity, Humalog, and Humulin for cardiometabolic; and Taltz and Olumiant for immunology.

Q1 performance and what drove the results Worldwide revenue grew to $19.8 billion, up 56% year over year, driven by a 65% increase in volume, partially offset by a 13% decrease from lower realized prices. Reported net income was $7.4 billion and reported EPS was $8.26, both buoyed by significantly lower acquired IPR&D charges versus the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $7.7 billion and non-GAAP EPS was $8.55.

Key Products revenue reached $13.4 billion, with growth led by Mounjaro and Zepbound. The company noted that Key Products revenue in Immunology, Oncology, and Neuroscience grew 160% compared to Q1 2025, illustrating broad-based adoption beyond cardiometabolic therapies.

Product and geographic trends Mounjaro revenue increased 125% to $8.7 billion. U.S. sales were $4.2 billion, reflecting strong demand and a favorable one-time rebate and discount adjustment, partially offset by lower realized prices. Revenue outside the U.S. rose to $4.4 billion from $1.2 billion, driven by volume, with lower realized prices reflecting Mounjaro’s addition to China’s NRDL.

U.S. Zepbound revenue was $4.1 billion, up 79%, driven by demand and partially offset by lower realized prices following previously announced cash pay reductions. Outside the U.S., total company revenue climbed 81% to $7.7 billion on 95% volume growth, with price headwinds tied to reimbursement dynamics. Jardiance outside the U.S. included $250 million of one-time collaboration benefits in Q1 2026 compared to $370 million in Q1 2025, a factor to consider in year-over-year comparisons.

2026 is off to a strong start, we delivered 56% revenue growth in the first quarter and raised our full-year revenue guidance by $2 billion," said David A. Ricks, Lilly chair and CEO. “A key milestone was the U.S. FDA approval of Foundayo—the only approved GLP-1 pill that can be taken any time of day, without food and water restrictions. Foundayo will meaningfully expand the number of people who can benefit from GLP-1s. We also delivered pipeline progress across all four therapeutic areas and continued investing in Lilly's future growth through four acquisitions.”Profitability, expenses, and taxes Reported gross margin increased 54% to $16.2 billion, or 81.9% of revenue, down 0.6 percentage points due to lower realized prices. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin rose 54% to $16.4 billion, or 82.6% of revenue, down 0.9 percentage points.

R&D expense rose 28% to $3.5 billion (18% of revenue) as the company continued investing across early- and late-stage programs. Marketing, selling, and administrative expense increased 19% to $2.9 billion to support ongoing and planned launches. Acquired IPR&D charges were $584 million in Q1 2026 versus $1.6 billion in Q1 2025, reducing the earnings drag this quarter. Asset impairment, restructuring and other special charges were $279 million, primarily related to litigation matters. The effective tax rate declined to 16.4% from 20.2%, reflecting the unfavorable non-deductible IPR&D item in the prior year and net discrete tax benefits. Reported EPS included $0.52 of acquired IPR&D charges compared to $1.72 in Q1 2025.

Regulatory progress included U.S. FDA approval of Foundayo (orforglipron) for adults with obesity, or overweight with weight-related medical problems. Pipeline updates highlighted positive Phase 3 data across obesity, diabetes, oncology, and immunology programs, including Foundayo in type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight at increased cardiovascular risk; Jaypirca combinations in relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL; Taltz with Zepbound in psoriasis and obesity or overweight; and retatrutide in type 2 diabetes. Business development activity included agreements to acquire Orna Therapeutics, Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc., Kelonia Therapeutics, and Ajax Therapeutics.

Why the quarter matters and key challenges The quarter confirms accelerating demand for GLP-1–based therapies as a central growth engine. Sustained volume gains in Mounjaro and Zepbound are particularly important in the context of price headwinds, where expanding patient access and reimbursement can pressure realized prices but enlarge the addressable market. The favorable one-time rebate and discount adjustments also aided results, a dynamic that may not repeat each quarter.

Challenges remain. Lower realized prices in both the U.S. and international markets can dampen margin expansion even amid strong volume. The addition of Mounjaro to China’s NRDL underscores significant pricing trade-offs to drive access. Litigation-related charges and elevated commercial investment accompany rapid launches. The reliance on a concentrated set of high-growth products elevates execution and competitive risks typical for large drug manufacturers; continued pipeline diversification and integration of acquisitions are thus strategically important for durability.

Key financial context for investors Gross margin remains high despite pricing pressure, a valuable attribute in branded pharmaceuticals. R&D at 18% of revenue illustrates ongoing reinvestment to support future assets across cardiometabolic, oncology, neuroscience, and immunology. The lower tax rate versus last year aided net income, while reduced IPR&D charges lessened EPS headwinds. These metrics help frame earnings power and cash generation potential as Lilly scales launches and absorbs portfolio investments.

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 months ended March 31, 2026 and the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025. References to “Predecessor” relate to the Company’s operations for the three months ended March 29, 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 intangible assets impairments, (b) reorganization items, net related to the Company’s emergence from its Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (c) transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and the Company’s Chapter 11 financial reorganization, (d) net restructuring charges associated with the previously disclosed 2025, 2024, and 2023 restructuring plans, (e) non-CEO executive separation expenses and (f) 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 March 31, 2026 was 10.51%.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galloway Capital Partners, LLC (“Galloway”), together with its affiliates, today announced that it has accumulated an ownership stake of approximately 8.42% in WW International, Inc. (“WW” or the “Company”).

Galloway believes WW is materially undervalued despite owning one of the world’s most recognized wellness brands and operating in the rapidly growing markets of weight management, metabolic health, GLP-1 support, and longevity.

Following its recent restructuring, WW reduced debt from approximately $1.4 billion to roughly $460 million while maintaining more than $220 million of cash on its balance sheet. Despite this improved capital structure, the Company’s market capitalization has fallen to less than $100 million.

“We believe the market is dramatically undervaluing WW’s brand, clinical business, member ecosystem, and long-term strategic potential,” said Bruce Galloway, Chief Investment Officer of Galloway Capital Partners.

Galloway noted that WW’s clinical business is growing more than 50% annually and believes the Company’s approximately 2.8 million members, combined with decades of proprietary consumer data, represent a highly valuable strategic asset in an increasingly personalized healthcare and wellness environment.

At current levels, WW trades at approximately 3.7x EBITDA, a substantial discount to peers in the digital health and wellness sector.

Galloway also stated that the Company has an opportunity to recruit a transformational CEO with expertise in consumer health, digital wellness, and subscription-based healthcare platforms.

“We believe WW is worth a multiple of its current trading value and look forward to engaging constructively with the Board and management team to help unlock shareholder value,” added Galloway.
