Overview
For more than sixty years, Weight Watchers has been one of the world’s most effective weight management programs, designed to help millions of members live longer, healthier lives. Our unique approach to weight health was built on a simple idea: people trying to lose weight together succeed more often than those who go it alone.
Today, we are redefining weight management for the GLP-1 era with a fully integrated model that brings together our supportive community built over six decades with personalized nutrition, behavioral science, digital innovation, world-class coaching, and compassion to create a differentiated program that is unique in the marketplace. In addition, our digital platform provides our U.S. members access to a network of licensed, specialized healthcare professionals – including board-certified doctors and clinicians trained in obesity medicine – who can prescribe a comprehensive formulary of medications, including both the oral and injectable versions of GLP-1 medications, to eligible members through Weight Watchers-affiliated practices.
Our primary sources of revenue across our fully integrated model are subscriptions for our Behavioral and Clinical business offerings. Our “Behavioral” business refers to providing subscriptions to our digital product offerings with the option to add on unlimited access to our workshops. Our “Clinical” business refers to providing subscriptions to our clinical product offerings provided by Weight Watchers Clinic combined with our digital subscription product offerings and unlimited access to our workshops.
Emergence from Bankruptcy
See “Item 1. Business—Emergence from Bankruptcy” for information regarding the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on June 24, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. We present within this Annual Report on Form 10-K the following non-GAAP financial measures: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and share-based compensation expense (“EBITDA”); and EBITDA adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets impairments, reorganization items, net, transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and Chapter 11 financial reorganization, net restructuring charges, former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) separation expenses and other items as indicated in the reconciliations below that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”). See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in each case.
Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of our business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of our business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our 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.
45
Use of Constant Currency
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe in certain cases the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we calculate constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We generally refer 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 we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Sources of Revenue
We derive our revenue principally from:
•
Subscription Revenue. Our “Subscription Revenue” consists of the aggregate of: (a) “Behavioral Subscription Revenue”, the fees associated with subscriptions for our Behavioral offerings; and (b) “Clinical Subscription Revenue”, the fees associated with subscriptions for our Clinical offerings. See “—Overview” above for additional details on these offerings.
•
Other Revenue. We license our trademarks and other intellectual property in certain categories of food, beverages and other weight management-relevant consumer products and services. We also co-brand with or endorse carefully selected branded consumer products and services. In addition, we generate revenue from franchise fees with respect to commitment plans and royalties, and publishing. Prior to fiscal 2024, we also sold a range of consumer products, including bars, snacks, cookbooks and kitchen tools, online through our e-commerce platforms, at our studios, and through our trusted partners. Our consumer products business closed at the end of fiscal 2023.
Cost and Expenses
Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses to operate our studios and workshops, costs to develop and provide our digital and clinical products and costs to sell consumer products prior to fiscal 2024. Operating costs primarily consist of salary expense paid to operations management, commissions and expenses paid to our employees, coaches and guides, clinicians, studio room rent, customer service costs (both in-house and third-party), program material expenses, depreciation and amortization associated with field automation, credit card and fulfillment fees and training and other expenses. Cost to sell products includes costs of products purchased from our third-party suppliers, inventory reserves, royalties, and inbound and outbound shipping and related costs incurred in making our products available for sale or use. Costs to operate our products include salaries and related benefits, depreciation and amortization of capitalized software and website development, credit card processing fees and other costs incurred in developing our offerings, as applicable.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses primarily consist of costs to produce advertising and marketing materials as well as media costs to advertise our brand and products across multiple platforms (e.g., television (linear and digital streaming), social media, search, programmatic, audio, affiliate, branded content, electronic customer relationship marketing (eCRM), direct mail and public relations), costs paid to third-party agencies who help us develop our marketing campaigns and strategy, expenses associated with brand ambassadors, expenses in support of market research, as well as costs incurred in connection with local marketing and promotions and personnel-related costs, such as salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation.
46
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses include personnel-related costs, such as salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation, as well as engineering, design, data, and other costs related to product development, such as software licenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation, benefits and other related costs, including share-based compensation, third-party consulting, temporary help, audit, legal and litigation expenses as well as facility costs and depreciation and amortization of systems in support of the business infrastructure and offices globally. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include amortization expense of certain of our intangible assets and certain one-time transaction expenses.
Material Trends
Performance Indicators
Our management team regularly reviews and analyzes a number of financial and operating metrics, including the key performance indicators listed below, in order to manage our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, determine the allocation of resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and assess the quality and potential variability of our cash flows and earnings. We also believe that these key performance indicators are useful to both management and investors for forecasting purposes and to facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results. These metrics are supplemental to our GAAP results and include operational measures. As of the Emergence Date and due to our change in fiscal year, we consider these metrics on a fiscal month basis and therefore we no longer report Paid Weeks and Subscription Revenue Per Paid Weeks, but now report Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber.
•
Revenue—Our “Subscription Revenue” consists of the aggregate of: (a) “Behavioral Subscription Revenue”, the fees associated with subscriptions for our Behavioral offerings; and (b) “Clinical Subscription Revenue”, the fees associated with subscriptions for our Clinical offerings. See “—Overview” above for additional details on these offerings. In addition, “Other Revenue” (formerly known as “product sales and other”) consists of revenue from licensing, franchise fees with respect to commitment plans and royalties, publishing and other revenue. Prior to fiscal 2024, Other Revenue included sales of consumer products.
•
Incoming Subscribers—“Subscribers” refer to Behavioral subscribers and Clinical subscribers who participate in recurring bill programs in Company-owned operations. The “Incoming Subscribers” metric reports Subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period start. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric. Management utilizes this metric to monitor changes in the subscriber base which directly impacts our 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 our revenue growth and trends.
•
Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber—The “Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber” metric reports the monthly fees associated with subscriptions for our offerings divided by the Average Subscriber for our 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.
•
Gross profit and gross margin.
47
Market Trends
Our revenue and profitability can be sensitive to major trends in the weight management and health and wellness industries. In particular, we believe that our business could be adversely impacted by:
•
the rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive clinical weight management and weight loss market and increasing consumer interest in weight management medications and the failure of our offerings to compete in such market and environment;
•
the development of more effective or more favorably perceived weight management methods or technologies, including by the pharmaceutical, genetics and biotechnology industries;
•
the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape applicable to GLP-1s;
•
increased competition from weight loss and wellness apps;
•
reduced consumer interest in commercial weight loss and diet programs;
•
a failure to develop and market new, innovative services and products, to enhance our existing services and products, or to successfully expand into new channels of distribution or respond to consumer trends or sentiment, including the failure of new services or products to appeal to evolving consumer sentiment;
•
a failure to successfully implement new strategic initiatives;
•
a failure of our technology or systems to perform as designed;
•
a decrease in the effectiveness of our marketing, advertising, and social media programs or an increase in the effectiveness of our competitors’ similar programs;
•
a downturn in general economic conditions or consumer confidence;
•
an impairment of our brands and other intellectual property; and
•
any event or condition that impedes people from accessing resources or discourages or impedes people from gathering with others.
For additional information on the aforementioned trends, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Based on this criteria, we believe the following accounting policies are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most significant judgments and estimates. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.
48
Goodwill
In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for our reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have determined the appropriate reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment to be the Behavioral and Clinical business lines.
In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of our reporting units, we estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to each of the Behavioral and Clinical reporting units and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for the respective reporting unit. We utilized adjusted EBITDA as the basis for measuring our potential growth because we believe it is the best indicator of the performance of our business. We then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.
Other Intangible Assets - Predecessor
Finite-lived franchise rights acquired were amortized over the remaining contractual period, which was generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired were tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so required.
In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired was estimated using both a relief from royalty methodology and a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up approach. The aggregate estimated fair value for these franchise rights was then compared to the carrying value of the unit of account for these rights. We determined the appropriate unit of account for purposes of assessing impairment to be the rights in the Behavioral business in the country in which the applicable acquisition occurred.
In our relief from royalty approach analysis, the cash flows associated with the Behavioral business in each country were based on the expected revenue for such country and the application of a royalty rate based on current market terms. In our hypothetical start-up approach analysis, we assumed that the year of maturity was reached after 7 years. Subsequent to the year of maturity for the hypothetical start-up approach, we estimated future cash flows in each country based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and operating income margins. The cash flows were discounted utilizing rates which were calculated using the weighted average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt.
Other finite-lived intangible assets were amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years. We expensed all software costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalized all internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally included software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs were amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years for software and website development costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which did not result in additional functionality, were expensed as incurred.
Other Intangible Assets - Successor
Upon the adoption of fresh start accounting, we identified total other intangible assets of $529.0 million that principally consisted of trade name, developed technology, database, customers/subscribers and customer relationships, which were estimated based on either the cost approach, direct cost approach, relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods. Significant assumptions for identified intangibles included royalty rates, discount rates, margins, attrition rates, revenue growth rates, and economic lives. Such fair value measurement of intangible assets is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
49
Trade name is an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The remaining other intangible assets are finite-lived intangible assets, which are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 6 years. We also capitalize internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development has reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 years for software and website development costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which did not result in additional functionality, were expensed as incurred.
We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. Impairment is assessed by examining underlying assumptions used to determine fair value including projections of future cash flows, revenue growth rates, operating income margins and discount rates. We also consider the trading value of both our equity and debt. If we determine that it is more likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired, we use a quantitative approach to assess the asset’s fair value and the amount of the impairment, if any.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Impairment Tests
We review goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. In performing the annual impairment analyses as of May 4, 2025 (Predecessor) and May 5, 2024 (Predecessor), we determined that the carrying values of our goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairments existed.
We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. Impairment is assessed by examining underlying assumptions used to determine fair value including projections of future cash flows, revenue growth rates, operating income margins and discount rates. We also considered the trading value of both our equity and debt. If we determine that it's more likely than not that our intangible assets may be impaired, we use a quantitative approach to assess the asset’s fair value and the amount of the impairment, if any. In performing the annual impairment analyses as of May 4, 2025 (Predecessor) and May 5, 2024 (Predecessor), we determined that the carrying values of our franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairments existed.
Based on the triggering events indicated during the quarters ended September 28, 2024 (Predecessor), March 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and March 29, 2025 (Predecessor), we performed interim impairment tests for all of our goodwill reporting units and franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor), the first quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor) and the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (Predecessor), respectively.
When determining fair value, we utilize various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, revenue growth rates, operating income margins and discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of the impairment assessments and, as such, could cause fair value to be less than the carrying values and result in an impairment of those assets. In the event such a result occurred, we would be required to record a corresponding charge, which would impact earnings. We would also be required to reduce the carrying values of the related assets on our balance sheet. We continue to evaluate these assumptions and believe that these assumptions are appropriate.
In performing our impairment analyses, we also considered the trading value of both our equity and debt. If the trading values of both our equity and debt were to significantly decline from their levels at the time of testing, we may have to take an impairment charge at the appropriate time, which could be material. For additional information on risks associated with our recognizing asset impairment charges, see the risk factor titled “We have in the past and may in the future be required to recognize asset impairment charges for indefinite- and definite-lived assets” found in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
50
As a result of the inherent uncertainty associated with forming the estimates within our goodwill and other intangible assets impairment tests, actual results could differ from those estimates. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to future revenue and operating margin growth, weighted average cost of capital, and other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of fair value. Although we believe the assumptions used in testing for impairment are reasonable, a lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions or financial performance, a lack of recovery or further decline in our share price from current levels for a sustained period, or an increase in the market-based weighted average cost of capital, among other factors, could significantly impact our impairment analysis and may result in future goodwill or other intangible asset impairment charges that, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Further information regarding the results of our goodwill and other intangible assets annual impairment tests and interim impairment tests for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor), the first quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor) and the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (Predecessor) can be found in Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Bankruptcy
We applied ASC 852 in preparing our consolidated financial statements starting on the Petition Date. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the Petition Date and up to and including the Emergence Date, which includes the period of emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges are recorded as Reorganization Items, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, we qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Emergence Date. We were required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor, and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our individual assets and liabilities (except for deferred income taxes) based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amount of deferred taxes was determined in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Emergence Date fair values of our assets and liabilities differed materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information.
We identified intangible assets of $529.0 million, which principally consisted of trade name, developed technology, database, customer/subscribers and customer relationships were estimated based on either the cost approach, direct cost approach, relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods. Significant assumptions for identified intangibles included royalty rates, discount rates, margins, attrition rates, revenue growth rates, and economic lives. Such fair value measurement of intangible assets is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
For trade names valued under the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 6.0%. For the developed technology-based intangibles that were valued using the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 4.0% for Behavioral developed technology and 5.0% for Clinical developed technology. For the database intangibles that were valued using the cost approach and direct cost approach, the margin was estimated to be 19.0%. For customer related intangible assets that were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, the attrition rate was estimated to be 25.0% for Behavioral customers/ subscribers and 40.0% for Clinical customers/subscribers. For business-to-business (B2B) customer-related intangible assets that were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, the attrition rate was estimated to be 10.0%. The discount rate applied to all the above models was 17.0%.
51
Income Taxes – Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining our provision for income taxes, most notably the realizability of our deferred income tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. We consider historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, potential carrybacks of operating loss and tax credits and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a tax valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), we had valuation allowances of $106.8 million. After taking into consideration the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, we maintain a partial valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state interest expense carryforward as it is deemed more likely than not that the related deferred tax income assets will not be realized. As a result of emergence from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we experienced an ownership change and our ability to utilize disallowed business interest carryforwards to reduce future taxable income and federal income tax is subject to various limitations under Section 382 of the Code.
In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we considered three years of cumulative operating results and determined we do not have sufficient positive evidence from our estimates of future taxable income to release our valuation allowances. Estimating future taxable income requires significant judgment based on our current plans to manage our underlying business. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
Critical Accounting Policies
Information concerning our critical accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue was $347.1 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $363.6 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $785.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency positively impacted our revenue for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) by $6.0 million and for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) by $0.5 million. The change in revenue was driven by a decline in Behavioral Subscription Revenue, partially offset by an increase in Clinical Subscription Revenue and four additional reporting days in fiscal 2025 as a result of the change in our fiscal reporting calendar. The decline in Behavioral Subscription Revenue was primarily due to the lower number of Incoming Behavioral Subscribers versus the prior year coupled with Behavioral recruitment challenges, which were further impacted by bankruptcy-related media coverage. The increase in Clinical Subscription Revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of subscribers due to consumer interest in weight management medications, including from our former compounded GLP-1 offering.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was $100.0 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $100.2 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $252.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency increased cost of revenue for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) by $0.7 million and had a de minimis impact on cost of revenue for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor). The change in cost of revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue, coupled with operational efficiency gains from actions taken to reduce our fixed cost base resulting in a more variable cost structure.
55
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $247.1 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $263.4 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $533.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency positively impacted gross profit for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) by $5.3 million and for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) by $0.5 million.
Gross margin was 71.2% for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), 72.4% for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and 67.8% for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). The gross margin change was due to the reduction in cost of revenue as a result of actions to reduce our fixed cost base and move to a more variable cost structure.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses were $116.7 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $110.9 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $236.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency increased marketing expenses for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) by $0.5 million and decreased marketing expenses for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) by $0.1 million. The change in marketing expenses was primarily due to the strategic decision to reduce marketing spend during our financial reorganization process, partially offset by increased spend associated with additional calendar days in fiscal 2025 as a result of the change in our fiscal reporting calendar. These additional calendar days had heightened spend to drive awareness for our product offerings ahead of peak demand season in the new year.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses were $17.1 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $25.3 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $42.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency had a de minimis impact on product development expenses for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) and for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor). The change in product development expenses was de minimis due to an increase in the capitalization rate associated with product and technology initiatives aligned with our website and app rebuild.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $115.7 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $78.5 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $175.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). Foreign currency increased selling, general and administrative expenses for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) by $0.3 million and had a de minimis impact on selling, general and administrative expenses for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor). The change in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to increased depreciation and amortization expenses and the transaction and reorganization related costs associated with the Chapter 11 financial reorganization of the Company, partially offset by a decline in restructuring charges and the related cost reductions.
Franchise Rights Acquired Impairments
In performing our interim impairment analysis as of March 29, 2025 (Predecessor), we determined that the carrying value of our United States indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired unit of account exceeded its respective fair value and, as a result, we recorded an impairment charge for our United States unit of account of $27.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (Predecessor).
In performing our interim impairment analysis as of September 28, 2024 (Predecessor), we determined that the carrying values of our United States and United Kingdom indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, we recorded impairment charges for our United States and United Kingdom units of account of $54.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor).
56
In performing our interim impairment analysis as of March 30, 2024 (Predecessor), we determined that the carrying values of our United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, we recorded impairment charges for our United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom units of account of $251.4 million, $4.1 million, $2.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 (Predecessor).
Reorganization Items, Net
The net reorganization gain of $1,143.9 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) related to our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and primarily consisted of the gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and the impacts of fresh start valuation adjustments. See Note 2 “Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further information.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $24.7 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $38.7 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $109.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). The change in interest expense was driven by the Chapter 11 financial reorganization and the reduction in Successor debt under the New Term Loan Facility relative to Predecessor debt. The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount, as applicable) and our average borrowings during each of the respective periods and excluding the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps, was 10.91% per annum for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), 7.14% per annum for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and 7.74% per annum for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor), or 7.50% per annum for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor) including the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps. Interest expense was impacted by the termination of our interest rate swaps on March 31, 2024. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net, which consists primarily of the impact of foreign currency on intercompany transactions, was $1.3 million of expense for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $6.7 million of expense for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and was a de minimis amount of income for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor).
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was (119.3%) for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), 0.1% for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and (0.2%) for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor).
The tax expense for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) was impacted by tax expense due to increases in our valuation allowance, as well as tax expense impacts of interim period tax accounting adjustments as described below.
The tax expense for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) was 0.1% and primarily consisted of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. We recorded income tax benefits for reorganization adjustments in the Predecessor period, primarily consisting of: (i) tax expense for the reduction in federal and state deferred tax assets related to cancelled share-based compensation awards, (ii) tax benefit related to non-taxable cancellation of debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; and (iii) tax benefit for the reduction in our valuation allowance resulting from the adjustments described above. We recorded income tax expense for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, consisting of tax expense for the increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from fresh start accounting adjustments, which was partially offset by a tax benefit for the reduction in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The rate was also impacted by tax benefits from interim period tax accounting adjustments as described below.
57
The effective tax rate for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) was determined using an annualized effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items. The tax effects of statutory rate changes, significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items, and certain changes in the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets are excluded from the determination of our estimated AETR, as such, items were recognized as discrete items in the Predecessor and Successor Periods. The Predecessor Period includes the discrete tax impacts resulting from reorganization adjustments and fresh start accounting. Any changes to our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the Predecessor Period (whether resulting from reorganization adjustments, fresh start adjustments or otherwise) were partially offset with a corresponding adjustment to our valuation allowances.
As part of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, our prepetition funded debt was extinguished. The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of our CODI was estimated to be $951.5 million. As a result, our U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards will be reduced as required. The reductions in NOL carryforwards for the CODI have been fully offset by a corresponding decrease to our valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 (Successor). The tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor Period represent our best estimate using all available information at June 24, 2025. Further adjustments were recorded in the Successor Period at December 31, 2025 based on our final December 31, 2025 financial positions under the Code. The final tax impacts on the Company’s tax attributes could change significantly from the current estimates.
As a result of emergence from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we did experience an ownership change. Our ability to utilize disallowed business interest carryforwards to reduce future taxable income and federal income tax is subject to various limitations under Section 382 of the Code. The utilization of such attributes including state and local NOLs will be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code and will be reduced as required.
The tax expense for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor) was impacted by a tax expense due to a valuation allowance and a tax expense related to share-based awards, partially offset by a tax benefit related to state tax and a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income.
In addition, for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor), the effective tax rate was impacted by out-of-period income tax adjustments and tax expense from a valuation allowance established to offset certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits. The adoption of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s global tax reform initiative, which introduced a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to large multinational corporations, impacted our effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor) by (0.04%) related to Canadian top up tax.
Operating Results
Although GAAP requires that we report our results for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) separately, management views certain metric and revenue information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor Periods because management believes such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods. Although the Predecessor and Successor Periods generally are not comparable as they are impacted by fresh start accounting, there are no fresh start adjustments affecting revenue and therefore revenue information has been combined to provide a meaningful understanding of operating trends, which would be consistent with a pro forma calculation under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Nevertheless, the combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and may not be indicative of future results.
We cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) against any of the previous periods reported in our consolidated financial statements without combining it with the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and do not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as Subscription Revenue, Incoming and End of Period Subscribers and Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber for the Successor Period when combined with the Predecessor Period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, the tables below present the combined results for fiscal 2025.
58
Metrics and Business Trends
The following tables set forth key metrics for combined fiscal 2025 and the percentage change in those metrics versus fiscal 2024:
Subscription Revenue (in millions except percentages)
Behavioral Clinical Total
Subscribers (in thousands except percentages)
Behavioral Clinical Total
Incoming End of Period Incoming End of Period Incoming End of Period
Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber
Behavioral Clinical Total
Operating Performance
The decline in Behavioral Subscription Revenue was primarily due to the lower number of Incoming Behavioral Subscribers versus the prior year coupled with Behavioral recruitment challenges, which were further impacted by bankruptcy-related media coverage. The increase in Clinical Subscription Revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of subscribers due to the demand for weight management medications, a portion of which was for our former compounded GLP-1 offering.
The change in Total Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber was driven primarily by a mix shift of our subscriber base to the Clinical business. Clinical Monthly Subscription Revenue Per Average Subscriber declined primarily driven by a shift to longer term commitment plans, which commit members for more months, but at a lower rate per month.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We voluntarily commenced and completed a prepackaged bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to restructure our debt and allow increased operating cash flow for funding our operations and strategic initiatives. We have experienced and expect 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 our 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 and decreased cash flows from operations. Further, we have historically had recurring net losses. We voluntarily commenced and completed a prepackaged bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 to restructure our debt and allow increased operating cash flow for funding our operations and strategic initiatives.
59
On the Emergence Date, all outstanding liabilities under the Prepetition Credit Facilities and the Prepetition Credit Agreement totaling approximately $1,116.0 million and our 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 of $500.0 million were discharged and the liens and mortgages related thereto were released. Concurrently, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated June 24, 2025 which provided for the New Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $465.0 million maturing on June 24, 2030. Prepayments for excess cash are required annually as further described below. The restructuring of our debt significantly reduces the amount of outstanding debt and ongoing interest payments.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations. Our primary cash needs are funding our operations and global strategic initiatives, meeting debt service requirements and other financing commitments. We had unrestricted cash on hand of $160.3 million as of December 31, 2025 (of which $65.6 million is maintained at foreign subsidiaries).
Following our emergence from bankruptcy and restructuring of our debt, we believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our obligations for at least 12 months following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements found herein.

Cash Flows
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:
(In millions)
Successor Predecessor
Period from Period from
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities $ 5.5 $ (34.4 ) $ (16.8 )
Net cash used for investing activities $ (13.2 ) $ (6.3 ) $ (16.4 )
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities $ — $ 153.9 $ (17.3 )
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), net cash used for operating activities was $34.4 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and net cash used for operating activities was $16.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). The change in net cash provided by (used for) operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in other non-cash add-back adjustments driven by the decline in franchise rights acquired impairments, partially offset by a decrease in net loss after excluding the non-cash impact of the reorganization items, net and an increase in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $13.2 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $6.3 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $16.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). The change in net cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired and an increase in capitalized software and website development expenditures.
Financing Activities
There were no financing cash flows for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor). Net cash provided by financing activities was $153.9 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and net cash used for financing activities was $17.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor). The change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings on the Prepetition Revolving Credit Facility.
Long-Term Debt
We currently plan to meet our long-term debt obligations by using cash flows provided by operating activities and opportunistically using other means to repay or refinance our obligations as we determine appropriate.
The following schedule sets forth our long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2025 (Successor):
(In millions)

61
Total interest expense on long-term debt, inclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premium or discount, as applicable, amounted to $26.9 million for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), $34.3 million for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and $110.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor).
As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), our debt consisted of variable-rate instruments and as of December 28, 2024 (Predecessor), our debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. We have historically entered into interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with our variable-rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), we did not have any interest rate swaps in effect. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premium or discount, as applicable) on our outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps, was approximately 10.91% and 7.75% per annum at December 31, 2025 (Successor) and December 28, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, or 7.47% per annum at December 28, 2024 (Predecessor) including the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps, based on interest rates on these dates.
Senior Secured Credit Agreement
In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, on June 24, 2025 we, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and WSFS, as administrative agent, entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) which provides for the New Term Loan Facility.
The New Term Loan Facility bears a variable interest rate based on either (1) the sum of (x) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement), (b) the prime rate announced by WSFS and (c) one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50%, plus (y) 5.80% per annum, or (2) the sum of (x) Term SOFR plus (y) 6.80% per annum, provided that Term SOFR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%.
All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of our current and future material subsidiaries. All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are or will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor organized in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands (each, a “Secured Guarantor”).
We are required to prepay (a) 100% of the unrestricted cash held by us and our subsidiaries in excess of $100.0 million applicable to the last 10 calendar days of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, (b) 100% of the proceeds from the sale of certain assets and proceeds of certain casualty events, and (c) 100% of incurrence of any new debt proceeds unless such incurrence is permitted under the credit agreement. Other than the mandatory prepayments of excess unrestricted cash as described above, we are also required to pay a prepayment premium of: (a) for the first eighteen months following the Emergence Date, 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of prepayments or refinancings of the New Term Loan Facility in excess of $200.0 million, (b) from the eighteen-month anniversary of the Emergence Date to the second anniversary of the Emergence Date, 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of prepayments or refinancings of the New Term Loan Facility, and (c) from the second anniversary of the Emergence Date to the third anniversary of the Emergence Date, 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of prepayments or refinancings of the New Term Loan Facility. All prepayments of the principal balance of outstanding loans under the New Term Loan Facility are subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to Term SOFR loans under the New Term Loan Facility.
Refer to “—Emergence from Bankruptcy” for additional information.
Dividends
We do not currently pay a dividend and we have no current plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the sole discretion of our Board, after taking into account our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, the provisions of Virginia law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and such other factors our Board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants in our existing indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and may be limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur in the future.
62
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and share-based compensation expense and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDA adjusted for franchise rights acquired impairments, reorganization items, net, transaction costs related to strategic alternatives and Chapter 11 financial reorganization, net restructuring charges, former CEO separation expenses, and other items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations, as applicable.
The table below sets forth the reconciliations for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each a non-GAAP financial measure, to net (loss) income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor):

Restructuring charges consist of expenses associated with the reduction in headcount as a result of certain strategic re-alignments. Restructuring charges include the 2025 Plan, the 2024 Plan, the 2023 Plan and the 2022 Plan. Refer to Note 22 “Restructuring” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, contained in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further information.
(2)
Primarily consists of the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses.
We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be useful supplemental measures of our performance and useful for period-over-period comparisons. In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors and analysts. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” herein for an explanation of our use of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Contractual Obligations
We are obligated under non-cancelable agreements primarily for office and rent facilities operating leases. Consolidated rent expense charged to operations under all our leases for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor) and the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) was approximately $0.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Due to the fact that our debt is variable rate based, we have assumed for purposes of this table that the interest rate on all of our debt as of the end of fiscal 2025 remains constant for all periods presented.
(2)
The provision for income tax contingencies included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet is not included in the table above due to the fact that the Company is unable to estimate the timing of payment for this liability.
Acquisition of Peoplehood
On August 6, 2025, we acquired certain assets from, and offered employment to certain employees of, Peoplehood, Inc. (“Peoplehood”), a wellness support platform co-founded by Julie Rice, who previously served as a member of the Board. We purchased the assets for $1.0 million in cash upon closing and $1.0 million in deferred consideration that was paid in cash on November 5, 2025.
Factors Affecting Future Liquidity
Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions could require additional capital and we cannot be certain that any additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund our capital expenditure requirements, interest, principal and dividend payment obligations and working capital requirements depends on our future operations, performance and cash flow. These are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in arrangements that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.
Related Parties
For a discussion of related party transactions affecting us, see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” in Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal due to the importance of the winter season to our overall member recruitment environment. Historically, we have experienced our highest level of recruitment during the first quarter of the year, which is supported with the highest concentration of advertising spending. Therefore, our number of End of Period Subscribers in the first quarter of the year has been typically higher than the number in other quarters of the year, historically reflecting a decline over the course of the year.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks relating to interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading. The Company’s exposure to market risk as of the end of fiscal 2025 is described below.
64
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to interest expense of variable rate debt, in particular changes in Term SOFR or the base rates which are used to determine the applicable interest rates for borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility.
As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility bore interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 6.80%. For the New Term Loan Facility, the minimum interest rate for Term SOFR applicable to such facility pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement was set at 0.50% (the “Term SOFR Floor”). Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 (Successor), based on the amount of variable rate debt outstanding and the then-current Term SOFR rate, after giving consideration to the Term SOFR Floor, a hypothetical 125 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $5.8 million and a hypothetical 125 basis point decrease in interest rates would have decreased annual interest expense by approximately $5.8 million. This decrease in market risk exposure from the end of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the Chapter 11 financial reorganization of the Company, with an overall reduction in our variable rate debt.
Foreign Currency Risk
Other than inter-company transactions between our domestic and foreign entities, we generally do not have significant transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency applicable to each entity. As a result, substantially all of our revenue and expenses in each jurisdiction in which we operate are in the same functional currency. In general, we are a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our revenue and gross margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. In the future, we may enter into forward and swap contracts to hedge transactions denominated in foreign currencies to reduce the currency risk associated with fluctuating exchange rates. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from any of these transactions may be included in net income for the period.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the euro, Canadian dollar and pound sterling, may impact our shareholders’ equity. The assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, exchange rate fluctuations will cause the U.S. dollar translated amounts to change in comparison to prior periods.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, the end of fiscal 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on pages F-2 to F-6 of our consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
Insider Arrangements and Policies
From time to time, our directors and officers may engage in open-market transactions with respect to their Company equity holdings for diversification or other personal reasons. All such transactions by directors and officers must comply with the Company’s Amended and Restated Securities Trading Policy, which requires that such transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables directors and officers to prearrange transactions in the Company’s securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information.
No contracts, instructions or written plans for the purchase or sale of Company securities were adopted or terminated by our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that were intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c). No “non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangements” (as defined by Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) or other Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements were entered into or terminated, nor were any such arrangements modified, by our directors or officers during such period.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of WW International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Successor) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity (deficit) and of cash flows for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedule for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis of Accounting
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the district of Delaware confirmed the Company’s First Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of WW International, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (the “plan”) on June 17, 2025. Confirmation of the plan resulted in the discharge of certain claims against the Company that arose before May 6, 2025 and substantially alters rights and interests of equity security holders as provided for in the plan. The plan was substantially consummated on June 24, 2025 and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting as of June 24, 2025.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
F-2
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
As described in Notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 were $79,628 thousand, which is net of a valuation allowance of $106,816 thousand. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If management concludes it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. Management considers historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a tax valuation allowance. As disclosed by management, after taking into consideration the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, management has maintained a partial valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. federal, and state interest expense carryforward as management deemed it more likely than not that the related deferred tax income assets will not be realized.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of deferred tax assets is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining whether the deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized in the future and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets, including controls over management’s estimates of future taxable income. These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating the positive and negative evidence available to support management’s assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in management’s assessment; and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; (iii) whether tax planning strategies are prudent and feasible; and (iv) the consistency with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Interim and Annual Impairment Assessments – Clinical Reporting Unit Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired (United States)
As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, management reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. Based on triggering events, management performed interim impairment tests as of March 29, 2025 on goodwill and indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired. The annual impairment assessment was performed as of May 4, 2025. In performing the impairment test for goodwill, the fair value for the reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. In performing the interim and annual goodwill impairment tests, management determined that the fair value of its Clinical reporting unit was higher than its carrying value and, therefore, no impairment existed. As of June 24, 2025, the date fresh start accounting was applied, goodwill was $199,053 thousand, of which a portion relates to the Clinical reporting unit. In performing the impairment test for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value is estimated using both a relief from royalty methodology and a discounted cash flow approach. The aggregate estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the franchise rights. In performing the interim franchise rights acquired impairment test as of March 29, 2025, management determined that the carrying value of its United States indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, management recorded an impairment charge of $27,549 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In performing the annual franchise rights acquired impairment test, management determined that the carrying value of its United States indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired did not exceed its fair value and, therefore, no impairment existed. As disclosed by management, when determining fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, management utilizes various assumptions, including projections of future cash flows, revenue growth rates, operating income margins and discount rates.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the interim and annual impairment assessments for the Clinical reporting unit goodwill and the indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired (United States) is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of the Clinical reporting unit and indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired (United States); (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, operating income margins, and discount rate for the Clinical reporting unit and revenue growth rates and discount rate for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired (United States); and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the Clinical reporting unit and indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired (United States); (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow approaches and the relief from royalty methodology; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow approaches and relief from royalty methodology; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth rates, operating income margins, and discount rate for the Clinical reporting unit and revenue growth rates and discount rate for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired (United States). Evaluating management’s assumptions related to revenue growth rates and operating income margins involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Clinical business, as well as revenues associated with indefinite lived franchise rights acquired (United States) and (ii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow approaches and relief from royalty methodology and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumptions.
Valuation of Trade Name Resulting from the Application of Fresh Start Accounting
As described in Notes 1, 3, and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, on May 6, 2025, WW International, Inc., together with certain of its subsidiaries, filed petitions under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The First Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of WW International, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates was substantially consummated on June 24, 2025, and the Company emerged from bankruptcy and applied fresh start accounting. In accordance with the application of fresh start accounting, management allocated the Company’s reorganization value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values, including those of intangible assets and liabilities. Upon the adoption of fresh start accounting, management identified total other intangible assets of $529,000 thousand, of which $320,000 thousand related to the trade name. Management estimated the value of the trade name under the relief from royalty income approach. Significant assumptions for the trade name included royalty rate, discount rate, and revenue growth rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the trade name resulting from the application of fresh start accounting is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the trade name; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to royalty rate, discount rate and revenue growth rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
F-5
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others (i) reading the restructuring support agreement and related amendments, disclosure statement and subsequent updates, plan of reorganization and subsequent amendments, and settlement agreements; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the trade name; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the relief from royalty income approach used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the relief from royalty income approach; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to royalty rate, discount rate, and revenue growth rate. Evaluating management’s assumption related to the revenue growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the relief from royalty income approach; and (ii) the reasonableness of the royalty rate and discount rate assumptions.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 (as discussed below). 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 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”) and 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.
Beginning in the Successor Period (as defined below), the Company began reporting product development expenses separately within the consolidated statements of operations. Product development expenses include personnel-related costs, such as salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation, as well as engineering, design, data, and other costs related to product development, such as software licenses. Product development expenses were also recast in the Predecessor Periods (as defined below). Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Emergence from Bankruptcy
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. Refer to Note 2 “Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11” for additional information.
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, the following terms refer to the Company and its operations:
“Predecessor” The Company, prior to and including the Emergence Date
“Successor” The Company, 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 consolidated financial statements after June 24, 2025 are not comparable with the Predecessor’s 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 (see Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting”). For the period from the Petition Date to the Emergence Date, the Predecessor prepared the 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 consolidated statements of operations in the Predecessor Period.
Due to the lack of comparability with historical financial statements, the Company’s 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. Refer to Note 3 “Fresh Start Accounting” for additional information.
Fiscal Year Change
Following emergence from bankruptcy, the Company changed its fiscal year end from a 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 and the respective quarterly periods to a calendar year ending on December 31 with quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and prior periods were not adjusted.
Liquidity and Going Concern
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.
The Successor has assessed the impact of the current market disruption and competitive pressures on its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. To support this assessment, the Successor has analyzed the following factors: (1) its current financial condition, including available liquidity sources; (2) both conditional and unconditional obligations that are due or anticipated, including any required prepayments of excess cash under the senior secured credit agreement described in Note 9; (3) the funds necessary to sustain operations in light of its current financial condition, obligations, and expected cash flows; and (4) any other conditions or events that may adversely impact the Successor’s ability to meet its obligations for at least one year after the issuance date of the financial statements. Based on such evaluation, the Successor has concluded that it is probable the Successor will have sufficient liquidity to meet its future cash needs with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations for at least one year after the issuance date of the financial statements as the restructuring of its debt significantly reduced the amount of outstanding debt and ongoing interest payments.
The Successor’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents. The Successor had unrestricted cash on hand of $160,279 as of December 31, 2025 (Successor). The Company also had a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (as defined below), which provided for a five-year term loan (the “New Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $465,000 maturing on June 24, 2030, with required contractual repayments only expected to be annual prepayments to be made for excess cash above $100,000 applicable to the last 10 calendar days of the first quarter. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company had $3,409 in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding with Bank of America, N.A., which are permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and issued pursuant to separate reimbursement and cash collateral agreements. 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.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the impairment analyses for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, revenue, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from these 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 Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Variable Interest Entity
The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex and involve judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available information. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, such entity is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change.
Through Weight Watchers Clinic, the Company operates certain clinical telehealth groups which are deemed to be Friendly-Physician Entities (“FPEs”) and due to legal requirements, the physician-owners must retain 100% of the equity interest. The Company’s agreements with FPEs generally consist of both an Administrative Services Agreement, which provides for various administrative and management services to be provided by the Company to the FPE, and a Share Transfer Agreement (“STA”) with the physician-owners of the FPEs, which provides for the transition of ownership interest of the FPEs under certain conditions. The Company has the right to receive income as an ongoing management fee, which effectively absorbs all of the residual interests, and can also provide financial support through loans to the FPEs. The Company has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including technology and intellectual property required for the day-to-day operation and management of each of the FPEs. In addition, the STA provides that the Company has the right to designate a person(s) to purchase the equity interest of the FPE for a nominal amount in the event of a succession event at the Company’s discretion. Based on the provisions of these agreements, the Company determined that the FPEs are VIEs due to their equity holder having insufficient capital at risk, and the Company has a variable interest in the FPEs.
The contractual arrangements described above allow the Company to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the FPEs. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the FPEs and consolidates the FPEs under the VIE model. Furthermore, as a direct result of nominal initial equity contributions by the physicians, the financial support the Company can provide to the FPEs (e.g., loans) and the provisions of the contractual arrangements and nominee shareholder succession arrangements described above, the interests held by noncontrolling interest holders lack economic substance and do not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the FPEs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the FPEs are consolidated by the Company. The Company does not hold interests in any VIEs for which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the translation of intercompany receivables and intercompany payables with the Company’s international subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other expense (income), net, unless the receivable or payable is considered long-term in nature, in which case the foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Cash includes balances due from third-party credit card companies.
Receivables
Receivables include amounts that are billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected, including balances from customers under recur-bill commitment plans. The assessment of the likelihood of customer defaults is based on various factors, including length of time the receivables are past due and historical experience, all of which are subject to change. The Company’s credit write offs were $4,966, $6,748 and $15,080for the period from June 25, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (Successor), the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 10 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the related assets. Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income.
Leases
A lease is defined as an arrangement that contractually specifies the right to use and control an identified asset for a specific period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term, since the Company’s lessors do not provide an implicit rate, nor is one readily available. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the Company’s credit yield curve and adjusted for collateralization, credit quality and economic environment impact, all where applicable. The lease asset includes scheduled lease payments and excludes lease incentives, such as free rent periods and tenant improvement allowances. The Company has certain leases that may include an option to renew and when it is reasonably probable to exercise such option, the Company will include the renewal option terms in determining the lease asset and lease liability. The Company does not have any renewal options that would have a material impact on the terms of the leases and that are also reasonably expected to be exercised as of December 31, 2025. A lease may contain both fixed and variable payments. Variable lease payments that are linked to an index or rate are measured based on the current index or rate at the implementation of the lease accounting standard, or lease commencement date for new leases, with the impact of future changes in the index or rate being recorded as a period expense. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component.
