New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 65% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.8x net interest cover). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (58% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 65% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (US$58.3m market cap). Annonce • Mar 23
WW International Receives Written Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement On March 19, 2025, WW International, Inc. received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, notifying the Company that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Company’s failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement was based on the Company’s common stock per share price being below the $1.00 threshold for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to September 15, 2025. Neither the Nasdaq Letter nor the Company’s noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “WW.” The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 17% a week.

WeightWatchers Adds Compounded GLP-1, Expanding Accessibility and Affordability of Weight Loss Medications WeightWatchers announced the addition of compounded semaglutide into its offering, broadening eligible members' access to clinical weight management interventions that are underpinned by the comprehensive, science-backed, behavioral and lifestyle support that has helped millions of people reach and sustain their weight goals. Shortages of GLP-1 medications have plagued the market for more than two years, with patients often unable to find name-brand medications in stock at their local pharmacies. Over the last six months, roughly 45% of WeightWatchers Clinic members eligible for and prescribed a GLP-1 by their clinician have been denied coverage by their insurance after three prior authorization requests. Less than 40% of insurers cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss, leaving many individuals living with obesity without crucial financial support, and for those with coverage, more than half say their GLP-1 is still difficult to affordability. For drugs that appear on the FDA drug shortages list, the FDA allows compounding pharmacies to create compounded medications that are identical to, or nearly identical to the drug in shortage. WeightWatchers undertook an extensive and robust diligence process to select an FDA-registered 503B facility. A 503B must adhere to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations, which are the same manufacturing standards enforced by the FDA for all manufacturing facilities involved in the production of FDA-approved drugs. Every batch of the finished product from a 503B facility is tested for sterility and potency, among other things, before release. For more information about WeightWatchers' Compounded GLP-1 medication offering and due diligence process, the Company has published a comprehensive Transparency Report which can be found at ww.com/compounded-glp1-safety. WeightWatchers clinicians have the option to prescribe compounded semaglutide, if determined that the use of a GLP-1 weight-loss medication is appropriate for a patient. Eligible members can either use their insurance for brand-name medications or choose to self-pay for brand-name medications or compounded semaglutide. Only patients meeting clinical eligibility requirements will be prescribed a compounded GLP-1; the clinical eligibility requirements for compounded GLP-1s are the same as for brand-name medications. If prescribed, WeightWatchers members receive their compounded semaglutide within 1-3 business days. They can also request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for their medication, which provides transparency as to how medications were tested and quality standards in place throughout the process. WeightWatchers continues to deliver a holistic care model of high-touch, accessible clinical solutions in combination with its comprehensive, science-backed behavioral programs, providing members with all of the tools and resources they need to reach and sustain their weight health goals.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 64% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits.

A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.
