Q2 2020 Business and Financial Highlights

  • End of Period Subscribers in Q2 2020 were up 8.6% versus the prior year period, driven by Digital subscriber growth across all major geographic markets. Q2 2020 End of Period Digital Subscribers were up 23.2% and End of Period Studio + Digital Subscribers were down 24.2% versus the prior year period.
     
  • Total Paid Weeks in Q2 2020 were up 5.1% versus the prior year period, driven by Digital growth across all major geographic markets. Q2 2020 Digital Paid Weeks increased 16.8% and Studio + Digital Paid Weeks decreased 19.7% versus the prior year period. 
     
  • Revenues in Q2 2020 were $333.6 million. On a constant currency basis, Q2 2020 revenues decreased 8.7% versus the prior year period.
     
    • Service Revenues in Q2 2020 were $293.0 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 5.7% versus the prior year period, primarily driven by declines in Studio + Digital Fees as a result of the closure of our studios due to  COVID-19.
       
    • Product Sales and Other in Q2 2020 were $40.6 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues decreased 25.7% versus the prior year period, primarily due to lower in-studio product sales as a result of the closure of our studios due to COVID-19.
       
  • Gross Profit in Q2 2020 was $194.7 million. Adjusted gross profit in Q2 2020 was $201.2 million, which excluded $6.5 million in charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan.  On a constant currency basis, adjusted gross profit would have decreased 5.8% versus the prior year period.

Adjusted operating income in Q2 2020 was $94.9 million, which excluded the $32.7 million one-time stock compensation expense associated with the previously disclosed option granted to Ms. Oprah Winfrey in connection with the Company extending its partnership with Ms. Winfrey and the $11.2 million in charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan. On a constant currency basis, adjusted operating income would have decreased 8.7% versus the prior year period. This decrease was due to lower revenues related to the Company’s Studio + Digital business.
     
    • Operating Income Margin for Q2 2020 was 15.3% and adjusted operating income margin was 28.4%.  This compares to an operating income margin of 28.6% in the prior year period.
       
  • Effective Tax Rate in Q2 2020 was 28.6%, versus 23.6% in the prior year period.

  • Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) in Q2 2020 was $0.20 compared to $0.78 in the prior year period.
    • Certain items affect year-over-year comparability. The following items in the aggregate negatively impacted Q2 2020 fully diluted EPS by $0.47:
      • $0.35 per fully diluted share impact from the one-time stock compensation expense associated with the previously disclosed option granted to Ms. Winfrey in connection with the Company extending its partnership with Ms. Winfrey.

Second Quarter 2020 Conference Call and Webcast

The Company has scheduled a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET.  During the conference call, Mindy Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Nicholas Hotchkin, Chief Financial Officer, Operating Officer, North America & President, Emerging Markets, will discuss the second quarter of fiscal 2020 results and answer questions from the investment community.

The live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company’s corporate website, corporate.ww.com, in the Investors section under Presentations and Events.  Supplemental investor materials will also be available in the same location prior to the start of the webcast.  A replay of the webcast will be available on this site for approximately 90 days.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release and today’s scheduled conference call:

To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross profit margin, operating income,  operating income margin, and earnings per fully diluted share are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and, with respect to the second quarter of fiscal 2020, as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), to exclude the impact of the one-time stock compensation expense associated with the previously disclosed option granted to Ms. Winfrey in connection with the Company extending its partnership with Ms. Winfrey and charges associated with the Company’s previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan, as applicable. The Company also presents in the attachments to this release the non-GAAP financial measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, 2020 restructuring charges and goodwill impairment (“Adjusted EBITDAS”), net debt, and a net debt to Adjusted EBITDAS ratio.  In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business.  While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.  See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
