WW International, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2025 Results
"We demonstrated continued strong financial discipline in Q1," said Felicia DellaFortuna, CFO. "While Clinical revenue grew 57% year-over-year, revenue headwinds in our Behavioral business continued. Despite overall revenue declines, we increased Adjusted EBITDAS by $20 million year-over-year, reflecting our team's focus on operational efficiency and strategic cost management. Looking ahead, we are engaged in substantive discussions with our lenders and noteholders in order to take decisive actions with our capital structure and remain focused on strengthening our financial foundation to position WeightWatchers for future success.'
"As we navigate this period of significant reset, we remain focused on our key priorities: delivering a unified and engaging member experience, revitalizing our brand, innovating and expanding adjacent revenue streams, and driving operational excellence and efficiency throughout the organization. As we execute our strategy with discipline, we are confident in our ability to stabilize the business and build the path back to growth, continuing our six-decade legacy of helping millions achieve healthier lives."
"We are making progress on our strategic priorities with continued momentum in our Clinical business, while laying the foundation for long-term, sustainable growth," said Tara Comonte, President and CEO. "As the weight management landscape evolves, we believe our unique combination of science-backed behavioral support, clinical care, and engaged community positions us to deliver superior outcomes."

Q1 2025 Financial Highlights
End of Period Subscribers in Q1 2025 were 3.4 million, down 14.2% versus the prior year period, driven by declines in the Behavioral business. End of Period Clinical Subscribers of 135 thousand increased 55.2% versus the prior year period.
Revenues in Q1 2025 were $186.6 million. Q1 2025 revenues decreased 9.7% versus the prior year period driven by headwinds in the Behavioral business from lower Incoming Subscribers and recruitment challenges. Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by a higher mix of Behavioral Subscribers within their initial, lower-priced commitment periods. Subscription Revenues benefited from $29.5 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues, which increased 57.1% versus the prior year period primarily due to higher recruitments and Incoming Subscribers.
Subscription Revenues Per Paid Weeks in Q1 2025 were up 4.8% versus the prior year period, due to strong growth in the Company's Clinical business.
Gross Profit in Q1 2025 was $132.9 million, compared to $137.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit , which excluded the net reversal of $0.4 million of restructuring charges related to prior year restructuring plans, was $132.5 million. Adjusted Gross Profit in Q1 2024, which excluded the net impact of $2.5 million of restructuring charges related to prior year restructuring plans, was $140.3 million.
Gross Margin in Q1 2025 was 71.2%, compared to 66.7% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Margin in Q1 2025 was 71.0%, up from 67.9% in the prior year period, driven primarily by actions to reduce the fixed cost base across the business.
Net Loss in Q1 2025 was $72.6 million compared to a Net Loss of $347.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDAS in Q1 2025 was $26.9 million compared to $7.2 million in the prior year period due to continued cost discipline and execution of the Company's cost savings initiatives as well as lower marketing spend. Q1 2025 Adjusted EBITDAS Margin was 14.4% compared to 3.5% in the prior year period.
Non-Cash Intangible Impairment Charge: During Q1 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of franchise rights acquired of $27.5 million. This impairment was primarily driven by the Company's weighted average cost of capital reflecting market factors, including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company's equity and debt, and, to a lesser extent, business performance in the Behavioral business.
Income Tax Expense in Q1 2025 was $22.6 million, which reflected an increase in valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets, in relation to the Company's forecasted full-year 2025 financials. In the prior year period, income tax expense was $55.4 million.
Diluted Net Loss Per Share in Q1 2025 was $0.91 compared to Diluted Net Loss Per Share of $4.39 in the prior year period. Q1 2025 Adjusted Net Loss Per Share , which excluded $0.33 of a non-cash intangible impairment charge, $0.10 of costs related to review of strategic alternatives to strengthen our balance sheet, and $0.01 net impact of restructuring charges, was $0.47. In the prior year period, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, which excluded $3.05 of non-cash intangible impairment charges and $0.05 of net impact of restructuring charges, was $1.29.
Additionally, certain other items affected year-over-year comparability: Q1 2025 included $0.43 per diluted share negative tax impact arising from the impact of a valuation allowance. Q1 2024 included $1.22 per diluted share negative tax impact arising from an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate as a result of a valuation allowance and small pretax loss reflected in the Company's full year fiscal 2024 guidance.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Other Updates
Cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 29, 2025 was $236.3 million, which included borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility of $171.3 million.
The Company is engaged in substantive discussions with an ad hoc group of its lenders and noteholders, including the negotiation of a plan of reorganization to significantly reduce debt obligations and currently expects that agreement will be effectuated through a prepackaged filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which is anticipated to occur imminently.
Transaction Costs: In Q1 2025, the Company recorded $10.8 million of costs related to review of strategic alternatives to strengthen the Company's balance sheet.
Full Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance
The Company is not providing full year fiscal 2025 guidance at this time.
Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:
To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('GAAP'), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating loss, operating loss margin, net loss, net loss margin, diluted net loss per share, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis) to exclude, as applicable in a given period: (a) the net impact of the Company's previously disclosed restructuring plans; (b) the impact of impairment charges for the Company's franchise rights acquired; and (c) costs related to the review of strategic alternatives to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. 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') and EBITDAS margin; EBITDAS as further adjusted for the items described above as well as former CEO separation expenses and other items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations ('Adjusted EBITDAS') and Adjusted EBITDAS Margin; total debt less unamortized deferred financing costs, unamortized debt discount and cash on hand (i.e., net debt); and a net debt/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 is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" 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.

Reporting on Stingray's fiscal 2025 and fourth quarter results, President, Co-Founder and CEO Eric Boyko stated: 'Fiscal 2025 was a highly successful year that checked many boxes in our profitable growth strategy. First, advertising revenues for our Broadcast and Recurring Commercial Music segment, which comprises our FAST channel and retail media advertising units, increased by more than 45% for a second consecutive year as advertisers increasingly relied on connected TVs to maximize their advertising dollars. Accordingly, we invested in our FAST channel platform in 2025, including the recent launch of channels like Cozy Café, Movie Music, Stargaze and Cityscapes, to position Stingray as the No. 1 supplier of musical and ambient channels for connected TVs. To take advantage of growing listening hours on FAST channels worldwide, we also introduced Stingray's Premium Connected TV Ad Inventory Network to enable alternative vendors to sell unsold inventory.' 'Second, our collaboration with IAB Canada and Leger to produce a breakthrough report about the evolution of in-store audio advertising in Canada has consolidated our standing as the de facto leader in this growing sector. We are true trailblazers in this market, evangelizing retailers about the untapped potential of in-store media ads, adding sales representatives and partners to increase inventory selling, and optimizing our pricing structure to improve monetization.' 'Third, double-digit organic growth for a second straight year reflects the judicious investment decisions Stingray has made to sustain revenue growth and drive profitability.' 'Finally, we reduced our net debt level by more than $27 million in 2025, closing the fiscal year with a Net Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.28 times and well within our target range.' 'In this encouraging context, Broadcasting and Commercial Music revenues increased 17.8% to $254.5 million in 2025, driven by higher FAST channel revenues, greater equipment and installation sales related to digital signage, and a positive foreign exchange impact,' Mr. Boyko added. 'Radio revenues improved 2.3% year-over-year to $132.3 million in 2025 mainly due to higher digital revenues. We are particularly pleased that our strategy to leverage the Radio sales team in Canada to sell in-store audio and video ads is beginning to deliver meaningful results. This latest facet of our plan helped to generate Radio revenue growth of nearly 4% in the fourth quarter despite a tight market environment.' 'Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, our capital allocation priorities are well-defined. We intend to sustain our momentum by re-investing in high-growth growth areas of our business; lowering our net debt level to a leverage ratio approaching 2.0 times; seeking acquisitions on an opportunistic basis; and continuing to reward shareholders with our well-established NCIB and dividend programs,' Mr. Boyko concluded. Fourth Quarter ResultsRevenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $12.3 million, or 14.8%, to $96.0 million from $83.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The growth was mainly due to an increase in FAST channel revenues and a positive foreign exchange impact. Revenues in Canada rose $1.2 million, or 2.7%, to $46.8 million from $45.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The growth was mainly due to an increase in Radio revenue mostly driven by higher local sales. Revenues in the United States grew $11.8 million, or 45.0%, to $38.0 million from $26.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase can be attributed to higher FAST channel revenues and a positive foreign exchange impact. Revenues in Other countries decreased $0.7 million, or 5.5%, to $11.2 million from $11.9 million in Q4 2024. The year-over-year decline was mainly due to lower in-store commercial revenues. Broadcasting and Commercial Music revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $11.2 million, or 20.9%, to $64.6 million from $53.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The growth was primarily driven by higher FAST channel revenues and a positive foreign exchange impact. For the fourth quarter of 2025, Radio revenues improved $1.1 million, or 3.9%, to $31.4 million from $30.3 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was largely due to higher local revenues. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $5.6 million, or 19.0%, to $35.0 million from $29.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 rose to 36.5% from 35.2% in the same period last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was mainly due to higher revenues, partially offset by greater operating expenses related mainly to higher salaries. For the fourth quarter of 2025, net income totaled $7.7 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $46.3 million, or ($0.67) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The variance was mainly due to a one-time impairment charge of $56.1 million on goodwill related to the Radio segment in the comparable period in 2024 and higher operating results in Q4 2025. These factors were partially offset by a foreign exchange loss and an unrealized loss on derivative financial instruments in the most recent quarter. Cash flow generated from operating activities amounted to $39.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $44.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decline was primarily due to a foreign exchange loss, higher income taxes paid, as well as greater acquisition, legal, restructuring and other costs. These factors were partially offset by improved operating results. Adjusted free cash flow generated in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $18.4 million compared to $15.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly related to improved operating results, partially offset by higher income taxes paid. As of March 31, 2025, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $14.0 million and credit facilities of $341.4 million. The credit facility consists of a $500 million revolving credit facility, of which $156.3 million was available. Full-Year ResultsFiscal 2025 revenues increased $41.5 million, or 12.0%, to $386.9 million from $345.4 million in 2024. The growth was largely due to higher FAST channel revenues, greater equipment and installation sales related to digital signage, and a positive foreign exchange impact. Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2025 improved by $16.3 million, or 13.0%, to $142.2 million from $125.9 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin in 2025 reached 36.8% compared to 36.4% in 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was mainly driven by higher revenues, partially offset by greater operating expenses related mostly to higher salaries. Net income in fiscal 2025 totaled $36.4 million, or $0.53 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.7 million, or ($0.20) per share, in 2024. The variance was primarily due to a one-time impairment charge of $56.1 million on goodwill related to the Radio segment in the comparable period in 2024 and to higher operating results in 2025. These factors were partially offset by an unrealized loss on derivative financial instruments, a one-time settlement gain related to a trademark dispute in the comparable period in 2024, and a higher foreign exchange loss. Adjusted net income in fiscal 2025 amounted to $72.7 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to $60.3 million, or $0.87 per share, in 2024. The increase can mainly be attributed to higher operating results and lower interest expense, partially offset by a greater foreign exchange loss. Declaration of DividendThe Corporation declared a dividend of $0.075 per subordinate voting share, variable subordinate voting share and multiple voting share on March 25, 2025. The dividend will be payable on or around June 13, 2025, to shareholders on record as of May 30, 2025.

Please note, however, that not all forward-looking information contains these terms and phrases. Forward-looking information is based upon a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Stingray's control. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors identified in Stingray's Annual Information Form for the year ended March 31, 2025, which is available on SEDAR at Consequently, all of the forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the results or developments that Stingray anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on Stingray's business, financial condition or results of operation.

Non-IFRS MeasuresThe Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are important measures when analyzing its operating profitability without being influenced by financing decisions, non-cash items and income taxes strategies. Comparison with peers is also easier as companies rarely have the same capital and financing structure. The Corporation believes that Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Net income per share are important measures as it shows stable results from its operation which allows users of the financial statements to better assess the trend in the profitability of the business. The Corporation believes that Adjusted free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow per share are important measures when assessing the amount of cash generated after accounting for capital expenditures and non-core charges. It demonstrates cash available to make business acquisitions, pay dividend and reduce debt. The Corporation believes that Net debt and Net debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are important to analyse the company's debt repayment capacity on an annualized basis, taking into consideration the annualized adjusted EBITDA of acquisitions made during the last twelve months. Each of these non-IFRS financial measures is not an earnings or cash flow measure recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. This method of calculating such financial measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, our definition of these non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of our performance or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.

S&P 500 Gains & Losses Today: J.M. Smucker Stock Sinks, Tesla Shares Recover
The S&P 500 added 0.6% on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, as investors awaited developments in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. Tesla shares moved higher as social media posts from CEO Elon Musk promoted the company's upcoming robotaxi launch. Declining sales of sweet baked goods weighed on the performance J.M. Smucker, and shares of the food maker U.S. equities indexes climbed Tuesday as trade representatives from the U.S. and China engaged in talks for a second straight day. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ended the session with gains of around 0.6%, while the Dow was up 0.3%. Read Investopedia's full coverage of the day's trading here. Intel (INTC) shares surged nearly 8%, gaining the most of any stock in the S&P 500. Shares of other semiconductor makers also moved higher as the U.S.-China talks bolstered hopes for looser export restrictions. Although Apple (AAPL) said it will end support next year for Mac computers built with Intel's processors, providing more evidence of the transitional period faced by the chipmaker, analysts have expressed confidence in the ability of CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took the reins of in March, to drive a turnaround at Intel. Caesars Entertainment (CZR) shares jumped 5.7%. TD Cowen analysts reiterated a "buy" rating on the casino operator's stock, noting that the company's loyalty program has helped drive entertainment, food and beverage, and lodging revenues to supplement its traditional earnings from gaming operations. The analysts also pointed to potential growth in its digital business. Tesla (TSLA) stock also added 5.7% as social-media posts from CEO Elon Musk hinted at the impending launch of the company's autonomous ride hailing service in Austin, Texas. Tuesday's move higher extended a recovery for the stock that kicked into gear during the previous session as tensions appeared to ease between Musk and President Donald Trump. Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shares advanced 5%, a day after the media conglomerate announced plans to split into two companies. One entity will house Warner's TV and movie studios along with the HBO Max streaming service, while the other will be home to its cable channels and the Discovery+ streaming service. The stock initially surged following the Monday-morning announcement, gave back those gains to end Monday's session lower, and then rose again today. Food maker J.M. Smucker (SJM) reported lower-than-expected sales for its fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, and its profit guidance for fiscal 2026 also came in below expectations. The maker of Folgers coffee and Uncrustables handheld sandwiches said that volume/mix impacts contributed to a year-over-year decline in net sales, especially declines in dog treats and sweet baked goods. Smucker shares sank nearly 16%, losing the most of any S&P 500 stock on Tuesday. Universal Health Services (UHS) fell 2.9% on Tuesday, extending losses posted in the prior session after the hospital operator's chief financial officer discussed a decline in the volume of surgical procedures at its facilities.

US stocks drift closer to their record as Wall Street waits to see what US-China talks will bear
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks drifted closer to their all-time high on Tuesday as the wait continued to hear what will come of trade talks between the United States and China. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% as talks between the world's two largest economies carried into a second day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 105 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6%. Stocks have roared higher since dropping roughly 20% below their record two months ago, when President Donald Trump shocked financial markets with his announcement of tariffs that were so stiff that they raised worries about a possible recession. Much of the rally has been due to hopes that Trump would lower his tariffs after reaching trade deals with countries around the world, and the S&P 500 is back within 1.7% of its record set in February. It's getting to be time to see whether such hopes were warranted. The talks with China were going 'really, really well,' U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said Tuesday evening in London, where the talks were being held. The two sides worked on 'all sorts of trade issues,' he said, according to a video clip posted by the Chinese state broadcaster CGTN. Both the United States and China have put many of their tariffs announced against each other on pause as talks continue. Even though many tariffs are on hold for the moment, they're still affecting companies and their ability to make profits because of all the uncertainty they've created. Designer Brands, the company behind the DSW shoe store chain, became the latest U.S. company to yank its financial forecasts for 2025 because of 'uncertainty stemming primarily from global trade policies.' The company, which also owns the Keds, Jessica Simpson and other shoe brands, reported a larger loss for the start of the year than analysts were expecting, and its revenue also fell short of forecasts. CEO Doug Howe pointed to 'persistent instability and pressure on consumer discretionary' spending, and the company's stock tumbled 18.2%. The uncertainty is moving in both directions, to be sure. A survey released Tuesday of optimism among small U.S. businesses improved a bit in May. 'While the economy will continue to stumble along until the major sources of uncertainty are resolved, owners reported more positive expectations on business conditions and sales growth,' according to Bill Dunkelberg, chief economist at the National Federation of Independent Business. On Wall Street, J.M. Smucker fell 15.6% even though its results for the latest quarter topped analysts' expectations. Its revenue fell short of expectations, as did its forecast for profit in the upcoming year. Tesla helped to make up for such losses after rising 5.7%. The electric vehicle company has been recovering since tumbling last week as Elon Musk's relationship with Trump imploded. That raised fear about possible retaliation by the U.S. government against Tesla. Shares that trade in the United States of chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. rose 2.6% after the company known as TSMC said its revenue in May jumped nearly 40% from the year earlier. Casey's General Stores leaped 11.6% after the chain of convenience stores based in Ankeny, Iowa, reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It credited strength in sales of hot sandwiches and other items. All told, the S&P 500 rose 32.93 points to 6,038.81. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 105.11 to 42,866.87, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 123.75 to 19,714.99. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed amid mostly modest movements across Europe and Asia. A 0.8% drop for Germany's DAX and a 0.6% gain for South Korea's Kospi were two of the bigger moves. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.47% from 4.49% late Monday. Choe writes for the Associated Press.
