Weight Watchers Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results And Revises Its Fiscal 2013 Guidance

NEW YORK - Aug. 1, 2013 // PRNewswire // - Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and revised its fiscal 2013 earnings guidance. Second quarter 2013 results include:

  • Global engagement, as measured by paid weeks, down 2.5% versus the prior year period 
  • Operating margin improved 140bps to 33.1% despite a difficult top line environment, benefiting from our cost savings initiatives 
  • On April 2, 2013, successfully completed a refinancing of $2.4 billion of its long-term debt

"Current business conditions are challenging," commented Jim Chambers, the Company's newly appointed CEO. "As an offset, we are making good progress with our cost savings agenda. We know there's much more to be done to improve overall business performance. While I'm excited about the team's plans for the January 2014 campaign, the 2013 recruitment weakness means that we'll start 2014 with fewer active members and therefore a lower earnings base."

Chambers added, "That said, I believe in our strategic potential and I am confident that we have the building blocks in place to enable a meaningful transformation over the next few years."

Second quarter 2013 net income was $64.9 million versus $77.5 million in the prior year period.  Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) for Q2 2013 were $1.15 versus $1.36 in the prior year period.

Net income and EPS for Q2 2013 were impacted by the write-off of fees associated with the Company's recently reported debt refinancing in April 2013.  This write-off resulted in a $21.7 million ($13.3 million after tax), or $0.24 per fully diluted share, early extinguishment of debt charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  Excluding this early extinguishment of debt charge (after tax), net income was $78.3 million and EPS was $1.39 in Q2 2013. Foreign currency had a de minimis impact on EPS in Q2 2013.

Second quarter 2013 revenues decreased 3.9% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period, resulting from lower revenues in the meetings business as it experienced weaker volumes globally, most notably in North America and the UK.

Q2 2013 total paid weeks were down 2.5% as compared to the prior year period.  Online paid weeks increased 4.4% versus the prior year period, while meeting paid weeks declined 10.4% versus the prior year period.

Q2 2013 operating income increased 0.3% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period.  This increase in operating income was driven by lower marketing expense, primarily in the United States from the elimination of inefficient digital advertising and lack of a men's campaign in Q2 2013.

Q2 2013 meeting paid weeks and attendance decreased 10.0% and 14.5%, respectively, versus the prior year period. 

The Company completed three franchise acquisitions in the second half of fiscal 2012 (September through December 2012) as well as a fourth franchise acquisition in March 2013.  Franchise acquisitions benefitted NACO meeting revenues by approximately 2.2% in the second quarter of 2013.

Second quarter 2013 International meeting revenues were down 8.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period, primarily driven by lower revenues in the United Kingdom (UK).

  • UK:  Second quarter 2013 UK meeting revenues decreased 16.0% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period.  Q2 2013 results were negatively impacted by a difficult competitive climate. Q2 2013 paid weeks declined 19.0% versus the prior year period.
  • CE:  Second quarter 2013 Continental Europe (CE) meeting revenues decreased 0.9% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period, while paid weeks declined 1.6% versus the prior year period.  The declines in revenues and volumes in the quarter were driven by cycling against the successful launch of the new program and new advertising campaigns in the prior year period.

Second quarter 2013 Internet revenues grew 6.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period.  This growth in Internet revenues was a deceleration from the period-over-period increase of 10.9% experienced in Q1 2013.  This deceleration was driven by declining sign-ups in the US business which continued through the quarter, as the commercial weight loss category continued to be impacted by increasing consumer trial of activity monitors and free apps. Sign-up performance in our Continental European market remained strong in Q2 2013. Online paid weeks were up 4.4%, and end of period active Online subscribers were up 1.4%, versus Q2 2012.

First half fiscal 2013 net income was $113.7 million versus $132.1 million in the prior year period.  EPS for the first half of fiscal 2013 was $2.02 versus $2.01 in the prior year period.

Net income and EPS for the first half of fiscal 2013 were impacted by a $21.7 million ($13.3 million after tax), or $0.24 per fully diluted share, early extinguishment of debt charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 resulting from the Company's previously announced recent debt refinancing.  Excluding this early extinguishment of debt charge (after tax), net income was$127.0 million and EPS was $2.26 in Q2 2013.

EPS in the first half of fiscal 2013 continued to benefit from the completion of the Company's previously disclosed tender offer and related stock repurchase transaction that took place in March and April 2012, respectively.  Foreign currency did not have a significant impact on EPS in the first half of fiscal 2013.

First half 2013 revenues decreased 3.5% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. This decrease resulted from lower revenues in the meetings business as it experienced weaker volumes globally, most notably in North America and the UK. This decline in meetings business revenues was partially offset by revenue growth in the WeightWatchers.com business.

First half 2013 total paid weeks were down 0.6% as compared to the prior year period. Online paid weeks increased 7.3% versus the prior year period, while meeting paid weeks declined 9.3% versus the prior year period.

First half 2013 operating income increased 0.6% on a constant currency basis versus the prior year period. The increase in operating income was driven by lower marketing expense, primarily in the United States from the elimination of inefficient digital advertising and the lack of a men's campaign in the first half 2013.

Full Year Fiscal 2013 Earnings Guidance

The Company has revised its full year 2013 earnings guidance to a range of between $3.55 and $3.70 per fully diluted share as compared to its previously provided range of between $3.60 and $3.90 per fully diluted share. This revised earnings guidance range excludes the one-time, second quarter charge of $0.24 per fully diluted share related to the early extinguishment of debt associated with the Company's recent debt refinancing.

Second Quarter 2013 Conference Call

The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. During the conference call, Jim Chambers, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Nick Hotchkin, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will discuss second quarter 2013 results and answer questions from the investment community. Live audio of the conference call will be simultaneously webcast over the Internet on the Company's corporate website, www.weightwatchersinternational.com. A replay of the webcast will be available on this site for approximately 90 days.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

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. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS) is presented in the attachments to this release. Net income and earnings per fully diluted share with respect to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2013 are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis) to exclude the impact from the early extinguishment of debt charge associated with the Company's previously reported debt refinancing. 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. In this release and any attachments, 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 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.
