    “WeightWatchers has long been recognized as the leader in weight loss, positioned at the intersection of science and community. I am excited to bring my expertise in building digital communities to WW and to take our product to the next level,” said Sima Sistani, the Company’s CEO. “By narrowing our focus, I am confident we will be able to return the Company to profitable growth.”

    Amy O’Keefe, the Company’s CFO, said, “We delivered EPS ahead of our guidance range for Q1, primarily due to lower marketing spend in our international markets, strong gross margin, and cost management. We have taken significant and decisive action to reset the cost structure, while shifting the organization’s focus to executing on a narrowed set of priorities. 2022 will serve as the foundation for future growth and operating margin expansion.”

    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 profit margin, operating income, operating income 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 first quarter of fiscal 2022 to exclude (a) the net impact of (x) charges associated with our previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”), and (y) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”) or (b) the impact of charges associated with the 2021 plan; and (ii) the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to exclude the impact of charges associated with the 2021 plan. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as follows: (i) with respect to the adjustments for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, as excluding or adjusting for the net impact of restructuring charges or the impact of restructuring charges, as applicable; and (ii) with respect to the adjustments for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as excluding or adjusting for the impact of the restructuring charges. 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, early extinguishment of debt with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed April 2021 debt refinancing and voluntary debt prepayments, and restructuring charges (including the net impact where applicable) (“Adjusted EBITDAS”), net debt, and a net debt to 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.

    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 should not 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 entitled 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.
