4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company no longer amortizes goodwill or other indefinite lived intangible assets. The Company performed its annual impairment review as of December 30, 2006 and determined that no impairment existed. Unamortized goodwill is due mainly to the acquisition of the Company by the H.J. Heinz Company in 1978 and the acquisition of WW.com in 2005. Franchise rights acquired are due mainly to acquisitions of the Company’s franchised territories. For the nine months ended September 29, 2007, the changes in goodwill and franchise rights acquired are due to the British Columbia acquisition as well as foreign currency fluctuations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, aggregate amortization expense for finite lived intangible assets was recorded in the amounts of $2,350 and $5,797 for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense was $1,193 and $3,777 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The carrying amount of the amortized intangible assets as of September 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 was as follows:

	September 29, 2007				December 30, 2006
	Gross				Gross
	Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying		Accumulated

5. Long-Term Debt

WWI Credit Facility

WWI’s credit agreement, dated as of January 16, 2001, and amended and restated as of January 21, 2004, as supplemented on October 19, 2004 and as amended on June 24, 2005, May 8, 2006 and amended and supplemented on January 26, 2007, consists of a term loan facility consisting of two tranche A facilities, or Term Loan A and Additional Term Loan A, and a tranche B facility, or Term Loan B, in an aggregate amount of $1,550,000 and a revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, in the amount of up to $500,000. We refer to the term loan facilities and the Revolver collectively as the WWI Credit Facility.

On May 8, 2006, WWI entered into a refinancing to reduce its effective interest rate while increasing its borrowing capacity and extending the maturities of borrowings under the WWI Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing, WWI’s then existing tranche B facilities in the aggregate amount of $294,375 were repaid and replaced with a new Term Loan A in the amount of $350,000. The additional funds of $55,625 were used to pay down the then existing revolving line of credit. Also, in connection with this refinancing, WWI’s then existing revolving line of credit was repaid and replaced with a new revolving line of credit, the Revolver, that increased borrowing capacity from $350,000 to $500,000. The Term Loan A and the Revolver have a maturity date of June 2011. In connection with the early extinguishment of debt resulting from this refinancing, the Company recorded a charge of $1,321 in the second quarter of 2006 relating to the write-off of a portion of the deferred financing costs associated with its old debt.

On January 26, 2007, in connection with the Tender Offer (as defined in Note 6) and the share repurchase from Artal Holdings Sp. z.o.o., an indirect subsidiary of Artal Group, S.A., the Company increased its debt capacity by adding an Additional Term Loan A in the amount of $700,000 and a new Term Loan B in the amount of $500,000 (see Note 6). We refer to Artal Group, S.A. together with its parent and subsidiaries as Artal. The Company utilized (a) $185,784 of these proceeds to pay off the WW.com Credit Facilities, consisting of (i) a five year, senior secured first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $170,000 and (ii) a five and one-half year, senior secured second lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $45,000, (b) $461,593 to repurchase 8,548 of its shares in the Tender Offer and (c) $567,617 to repurchase 10,511 of its shares from Artal. In connection with the early extinguishment of the WW.com Credit Facilities, the Company recorded a charge of $3,021 in the first quarter of 2007 relating to the write-off of the deferred financing costs associated with the WW.com Credit Facilities. The Additional Term Loan A and Term Loan B mature in January 2013 and January 2014, respectively. At September 29, 2007, the Company had $349,518 of availability under the Revolver.

The Term Loan A, Additional Term Loan A and the Revolver bear interest at an initial rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum or, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate (as defined in the WWI Credit Facility). The Term Loan B bears interest at an initial rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

or, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate (as defined in the WWI Credit Facility). In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the WWI Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver with respect to the unused commitments at an initial rate equal to 0.25% per annum.

The WWI Credit Facility contains customary covenants including covenants that, in certain circumstances, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on and redeem capital stock, make other payments, including investments, sell its assets and enter into consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. The WWI Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests. At September 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of the required financial ratios and also met all of the financial condition tests and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The WWI Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the WWI Credit Facility, the lenders thereunder may cease making loans and declare amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The WWI Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries. Substantially all the assets of the Company collateralize the WWI Credit Facility.

On June 7, 2007, Standard & Poor’s raised its rating on the Company’s Term Loan A, Additional Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Revolver from “BB” to “BB+”. On January 4, 2007, Moody’s affirmed its “Ba1” rating for the Company’s Term Loan A and Revolver and assigned a “Ba1” rating to the Company’s Additional Term Loan A and Term Loan B.

WW.com Credit Facilities

On December 16, 2005, WW.com borrowed $215,000 pursuant to the WW.com Credit Facilities. The WW.com Credit Facilities were governed by two credit agreements among WW.com, Credit Suisse, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the participating lenders. As discussed above, the WW.com Credit Facilities were repaid in full in January 2007.

6. Treasury Stock

On October 9, 2003, the Company, at the direction of WWI’s Board of Directors, authorized a program to repurchase up to $250,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On each of June 13, 2005 and May 25, 2006, the Company, at the direction of WWI’s Board of Directors, authorized adding an additional $250,000 to this program. The repurchase program allows for shares to be purchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. No shares will be purchased from Artal under the program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company purchased 3,627 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $151,678. Other than shares repurchased in connection with the Tender Offer and the share repurchase from Artal referred to below, the Company purchased no additional shares of its common stock during the nine months ended September 29, 2007.

On December 18, 2006, the Company commenced a tender offer in which it sought to acquire up to 8,300 shares of its common stock at a price between $47.00 and $54.00 per share, which we refer to as the Tender Offer. Prior to the Tender Offer, the Company entered into an agreement with Artal, whereby Artal agreed to sell to the Company, at the same price determined in the Tender Offer, the number of its shares necessary to keep its percentage ownership in the Company at substantially the same level after the Tender Offer. Artal also agreed not to participate in the Tender Offer so that it would not affect the determination of the price in the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer expired at midnight on January 18, 2007, and on January 26, 2007 approximately 8,548 shares were repurchased at a price of $54.00 per share. The 8,548 shares repurchased are comprised of the 8,300 shares the Company offered to purchase and 248 shares purchased pursuant to the Company’s right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding shares as of November 30, 2006. On February 2, 2007, the Company repurchased 10,511 of its shares from Artal at a purchase price of $54.00 per share pursuant to its prior agreement with Artal. In January 2007, the Company amended and supplemented the WWI Credit Facility to finance these repurchases. See Note 5.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, or EPS, computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 29, 2007		September 30, 2006		September 29, 2007		September 30, 2006
Numerator:
Net income	$	49,511	$	50,615	$	161,360	$	165,529
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding		79,159		97,425		80,985		99,152
Effect of dilutive common stock equivalents		449		611		575		720
Weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding		79,608		98,036		81,560		99,872
EPS:
Basic	$	0.63	$	0.52	$	1.99	$	1.67
Diluted	$	0.62	$	0.52	$	1.98	$	1.66

The number of anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares for diluted EPS was 910 and 1,762 for the three months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, and 1,079 and 1,282 for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30 2006, respectively.

8. Stock Plans

On May 12, 2004 and December 16, 1999, respectively, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2004 Plan, and the 1999 Stock Purchase and Option Plan, or the 1999 Plan. We refer to the 1999 Plan and the 2004 Plan collectively as the Stock Plans. These plans are designed to promote the long-term financial interests and growth of the Company by attracting and retaining management with the ability to contribute to the success of the business. The Board of Directors or a committee thereof administers the Stock Plans.

Under the 2004 Plan, grants may take the following forms at the Board of Directors’ or a committee’s sole discretion: non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and other share-based awards. The maximum number of shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan is 2,500 shares of authorized common stock.

Under the 1999 Plan, grants may take the following forms at the Board of Directors’ or a committee’s sole discretion: non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, purchase stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance units, performance shares and other share-based grants. The maximum number of shares available for grant under the 1999 Plan is 7,058 shares of authorized common stock.

On March 12, 2007, the Company granted 326 options and 41 RSUs to certain members of management. The options and RSUs will vest over three years and the options will expire 10 years from the date of grant. The options and RSUs had an aggregate estimated grant date fair value of $4,253 and $1,790, respectively.

9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007 was 38.5%. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 36.1% and 37.6%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007, the primary differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate were state income taxes and increases in valuation allowances, offset by lower statutory rates in certain foreign jurisdictions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the primary differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate were state income taxes, offset by lower statutory tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions, the reversal of $1,000 of tax reserves, primarily due to the resolution of an audit issue, and net operating loss carryforwards utilized by WW.com.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” or FIN 48, on December 31, 2006, the first day of its 2007 fiscal year. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognized a $1,907 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings for fiscal year 2007. Upon adoption of FIN 48 on December 31, 2006, the Company had $8,232 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $4,232 would affect its effective tax rate, if recognized. As of December 31, 2006, given the nature of the Company’s uncertain tax positions, it is reasonably possible that there will not be a significant change in the Company’s uncertain tax benefits within the next twelve months.

In addition, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $708 of accrued interest and penalties.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. At December 31, 2006, with few exceptions, the Company was no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2002, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2001. The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2003. The IRS has proposed and management has agreed to certain adjustments that will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Legal

In March 2006, the Company agreed to settle a litigation filed on behalf of a purported class of employees under the California Labor Code and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act for $2,300. This settlement was accrued for in fiscal 2005 and the funds were distributed in June 2007 following final approval by the court.

On July 7, 2006, the Company filed an amended notice of appeal with the U.K. VAT and Duties Tribunal, or the Tribunal, appealing a ruling by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, or HMRC, that from April 1, 2005 Weight Watchers meetings fees in the U.K. should be fully subject to 17.5% standard rated value added tax, or VAT. For over a decade prior to April 1, 2005, HMRC had determined that Weight Watchers meetings fees in the U.K. were only partially subject to 17.5% VAT. It is the Company’s view that this prior determination by HMRC should remain in effect and this view was further supported on March 8, 2007 when the Tribunal ruled that Weight Watchers meetings in the U.K. should only be partially subject to 17.5% VAT. On May 3, 2007, HMRC appealed the Tribunal’s ruling in favor of the Company and a hearing is scheduled for November 2007. The Company intends to vigorously defend the Tribunal’s ruling. If such appeal by HMRC is ultimately successful or if it is determined by HMRC that a lesser proportion of Weight Watchers meetings fees as compared to HMRC’s prior rulings is not subject to 17.5% VAT, the Company may incur monetary liability in excess of reserves previously recorded and its U.K. results of operations may be adversely affected in the future. However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of this matter, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or ongoing cash flows of the Company.

On July 27, 2007, HMRC issued the Company notices of determination and decisions that for the period April 2001 to April 2007 the Company’s leaders and certain other service providers should have been classified as employees for tax purposes and, as such, the Company should have withheld tax from the leaders and certain other service providers pursuant to the “Pay as You Earn”, or PAYE, and National Insurance Contributions, or NIC, collection rules and remitted such amounts to the HMRC. The current assessment associated with the notices of determination and decisions is approximately $27,000. It is the Company’s view that the U.K. leaders and other service providers identified by HMRC in its notices and decisions are self-employed and no withholding by the Company was required. On September 3, 2007, the Company appealed HMRC’s notices and decisions as to these classifications and against any amount of PAYE and NIC liability claimed to be owed by the Company. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this appeal and, although there can be no assurances, the Company believes it will ultimately prevail in its appeal. If such appeal is unsuccessful, it is possible that the Company’s cash flows and results of operations in a particular quarter may be adversely affected by this matter. However, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of this matter will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or ongoing cash flows of the Company.

Due to the nature of its activities, the Company is also, at times, subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the normal course of business. The Company has had and continues to have disputes with certain of its franchisees. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of all such matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge a substantial portion of its variable rate debt. As of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company held contracts for interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1,050,000 and $257,500, respectively. The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next five years. At September 29, 2007, given the current configuration of its debt, the Company estimates that no derivative gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to the statement of operations within the next twelve months.

As of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, cumulative gains/(losses) for qualifying hedges were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the amounts of $(3,535) ($(5,794) before taxes) and $1,217 ($1,998 before taxes), respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, there were no fair value adjustments recorded in the statement of operations since all hedges are considered qualifying.

12. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income, the effects of foreign currency translation and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. Comprehensive income is as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

Net revenues were $337.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $52.7 million or 18.5%, from $284.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The primary driver of revenue growth was a $37.7 million increase in meeting fees, resulting largely from the impact of the Monthly Pass commitment plan in NACO. Monthly Pass, first introduced in our 2006 fall diet season, is a recurring billing model whereby the member authorizes us to charge her credit card on a monthly basis, at a discounted rate. Product sales rose $7.8 million in the quarter as we continued to launch new products in our meetings and experience strong sell through. The remaining components of significance contributing to the $52.7 million revenue increase were $5.5 million growth in internet revenues and $2.3 million of higher licensing royalties. Other revenues decreased by $0.6 million. Net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates in the amount of $8.5 million, or 3.0%.

For the three months ended September 29, 2007, total global meeting fees were $204.5 million versus $166.8 million for the same period in the prior year, representing growth of $37.7 million or 22.6% including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. This growth in meeting fees resulted from a 19.3% increase in the average meeting fee per attendee on a constant currency basis.

Total worldwide attendance was 13.9 million in the quarter, which was on par with the prior year level of 13.9 million. NACO grew attendance volumes in the quarter compared to the prior year quarter as a result of franchise acquisitions that took place during the past twelve months. Declines in Continental Europe and U.K. attendance offset these gains. In addition to the attendance volume metric, we now furnish the paid weeks metric for meetings to provide a greater degree of transparency. This metric captures total Weight Watchers paid membership, be it pay as you go meeting attendance, or our broader commitment plan relationship with members, which encompasses both meeting attendance and Weight Watchers eTools, our internet product for meeting members. In the meeting business, the global paid weeks increased 28.9% in the quarter versus the same period last year, to 19.7 million, driving the 19.3% increase in the global average meeting fee per attendee excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange. The average meeting fee per paid week declined 7.1% in the quarter in constant dollars versus last year’s third quarter. The decline in average meeting fee per paid week is a function of the rollout and ramp up in NACO, our largest market, of the Monthly Pass commitment plan, which is offered at a discounted weekly price.

In NACO, meeting fees for the three months ended September 29, 2007 grew 32.4% or $35.6 million from $109.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $145.3 million. Attendances were 8.7 million in the quarter, including 0.9 million attendances from acquisitions made in the second half of 2006. NACO’s attendances in the quarter grew 7.2% versus the prior year quarter while paid weeks rose 51.2%, displaying the success of NACO’s Monthly Pass commitment plan. The impact of Monthly Pass on NACO’s revenues was to raise the average meeting fee per attendee, which grew by 23.5% (24.6% excluding the impact of acquisitions). NACO’s average meeting fee per paid week declined by 12.4% in the quarter as a result of the discounting. Monthly Pass has an accretive impact on the average meeting fee despite its discounted price because not all members who purchase it attend all of the meetings for which they have paid. One major benefit of Monthly Pass and its free access to eTools is that it enables us to keep members engaged through holiday periods and the summer season, when some memberships might otherwise lapse.

International Company-owned meeting fees were $59.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $2.1 million or 3.6%, from $57.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. On a local currency basis, total international meeting fee revenues were lower versus the comparable prior year quarter, declining 4.3%, driven by total international attendance as a result of decreases of 4.3% and 11.7% in the U.K. and Continental Europe, respectively. The offset to the volume related decline in revenues came from meeting fee pricing increases taken since last year in some of our countries, most notably in the U.K.

Worldwide product sales for the three months ended September 29, 2007 were $72.2 million, up $7.8 million or 12.1%, from $64.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Product sales growth was pervasive across our geographies in the third quarter of 2007. Domestically, product sales posted strong increases, up 12.7% or $4.4 million to $38.7 million, while international product sales increased 11.3%, or $3.4 million, to $33.5 million. On a local currency basis, international product sales

18

rose 2.8%. Increased penetration of existing products, as well as the successful launch of several new consumable products, drove global in-meeting product sales per attendee growth of 8.3% on a constant currency basis.

Internet revenues, which include subscription revenue from sales of Weight Watchers Online and Weight Watchers eTools, as well as internet advertising revenue, grew $5.5 million or 16.5%, to $38.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, from $33.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. End-of-period active Weight Watchers Online subscribers increased 24.5%, from approximately 489,000 in the third quarter of 2006 to approximately 609,000 in the third quarter of 2007. The revenue impact of growth in end-of-period Weight Watchers Online subscribers was partially offset by a reduction in paid Weight Watchers eTools subscribers in the quarter as compared to last year, since Weight Watchers eTools is now provided free as part of the Monthly Pass commitment plan. While internet revenues are lower as a result, the revenue gains in NACO from Monthly Pass have far surpassed the impact of lower paid eTool subscriptions.

Other revenue, comprised primarily of licensing revenues and our publications, was $18.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $2.1 million or 13.9%, from $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Global licensing revenues increased 18.6% or $2.3 million over last year’s third quarter with increases in both existing and new licenses.

Franchise royalties were $2.7 million domestically and $1.1 million internationally for the three months ended September 29, 2007. As a result of our recent acquisition of five franchises, total franchise royalties were down 10.0% to $3.8 million, from $4.2 million in the prior year quarter. On a comparable basis, excluding lost royalties from recent acquisitions, franchise royalties rose 10.2% as domestic franchises benefited from our switch this year to national TV advertising in the U.S.

Cost of revenues was $149.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $20.6 million or 15.9%, from $129.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit margin of 55.7% of sales for the three months ended September 29, 2007 increased 100 basis points from 54.7% of sales in the prior year. The margin expansion is derived primarily from higher meeting fees per attendee, a result of the Monthly Pass commitment plan in NACO and a price increase in the U.K., and from growth in our licensing business.

Marketing expenses for the three months ended September 29, 2007 increased $8.5 million or 27.8%, to $39.2 million, from $30.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. WW.com and international marketing accounted for most of the increase. Higher marketing expense at WW.com was primarily the result of its national television campaign, which, like the winter and spring campaigns before it, reaped significant benefit to the Online business. Internationally the increase was due primarily to television productions costs. Foreign currency exchange was also a component of the increase in marketing expense. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing expenses were 11.6% for the three months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to 10.8% in the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $42.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $9.4 million. The increase is due in part to our ongoing multi-year investment initiative in technology that began in mid-2005 after our acquisition of WeightWatchers.com and is geared to upgrade and add functionality to our office and meeting room systems. The increase in IT expense is a combination of depreciation from prior year capitalization and ongoing maintenance expense of new systems already put into service. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses rose as a result of management infrastructure upgrades, foreign currency, and ordinary operational increases. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.5% for the three months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to 11.5% in the same period last year.

Operating income was $106.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $14.2 million or 15.4%, from $92.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The operating income margin for the three months ended September 29, 2007 was 31.6% as compared to 32.4% for the comparable period last year. The decline in margin resulted from the impact of investments in marketing and IT as noted above.

Interest expense increased $15.1 million to $28.3 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, while the average effective interest rate declined slightly. The increase in

19

interest expense was primarily the result of higher debt outstanding. We raised our debt level in the first quarter of 2007 to finance the repurchase of 19.1 million of our shares (as further explained in “Liquidity and Capital Resources–Stock Transactions”).

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2007 was 38.5%, as compared to 36.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

Net revenues were $1,123.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $175.2 million or 18.5%, from $947.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This $175.2 million increase was driven primarily by a $119.4 million increase in meeting fees and a $35.0 million increase in product sales, both a result of attendance growth and higher average sales per attendee. Internet and licensing revenues grew $14.6 million and $8.3 million respectively, with the growth partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in other revenues resulting from lower franchise royalties. Net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates in the amount of $30.8 million or 3.2%.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2007, total global meeting fees were $672.1 million versus $552.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $119.4 million or 21.6% including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. Globally, attendance volume reached 49.7 million for the first nine months of 2007, up 4.1% from 47.7 million in the comparable prior year period. NACO and the U.K. grew attendance volumes in the period versus prior year, while Continental Europe declined. In the first nine months of 2007, there were 64.8 million paid weeks in the global meeting business, a 23.6% increase from the prior year level. The excess of paid weeks growth over attendance growth was the key driver of the 13.8% increase in the average meeting fee per attendee on a constant currency basis. The paid weeks metric for meetings, which we began to furnish earlier this year in order to provide greater transparency, captures total Weight Watchers paid membership by adding pay as you go attendance to paid commitment plan weeks.

In NACO, meeting fees for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 were $461.2 million, up $102.7 million or 28.6%, from $358.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Attendances were 30.1 million including 3.0 million from acquisitions made during the second half of 2006. NACO’s attendance in total grew 9.6% in the nine months versus the prior year period, but was slightly behind last year excluding acquisitions, declining 0.2%. Paid weeks rose 39.2% as a result of the success of NACO’s commitment plan, Monthly Pass, outpacing attendance and thereby driving the 17.3% increase in the average meeting fee. The increase in the average meeting fee arises because not all members who purchase Monthly Pass attend all the meetings for which they have paid.

International Company-owned meeting fees were $210.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $16.7 million or 8.6%, from $194.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. On a local currency basis, total international meeting fee revenues declined 0.1% from the comparable prior year period. Despite U.K. attendance growth of 3.0% in the first nine months of 2007, total international attendance declined 3.3% in the period to 19.6 million as a result of softness in Continental Europe, down 8.2%.

Worldwide product sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 were $266.9 million, up $35.0 million, or 15.1%, from $231.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Increased product sales penetration in the meeting room was driven by the launch and strong sell through of several new consumables products and by the strong appeal of our newly designed enrollment products to both new and returning members. Domestically, product sales grew 13.1% or $16.8 million to $145.1 million in the first nine months of 2007. International product sales increased 17.6% or $18.2 million, to $121.8 million. On a local currency basis, international product sales rose 8.2%.

20

Internet revenues, which include subscription revenue from sales of Weight Watchers Online and Weight Watchers eTools, as well as internet advertising revenue, grew $14.6 million or 15.0%, to $112.6 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 from $98.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. End-of-period active Weight Watchers Online subscribers increased 24.5%, from approximately 489,000 at September 30, 2006 to approximately 609,000 at September 29, 2007. This growth was driven by building awareness resulting from the success of WW.com’s first three national television advertising campaigns, which aired in the beginning of 2007 and again in the Spring and Fall. The revenue impact of the growth in end-of-period online subscribers was partially offset by a reduction in paid Weight Watchers eTools subscribers in the nine months as compared to last year, since Weight Watchers eTools is now provided free as part of the Monthly Pass commitment plan. While internet revenues are lower as a result, the revenue gains in NACO from Monthly Pass have far surpassed the impact of lower paid Weight Watchers eTool subscriptions.

Other revenue, comprised primarily of licensing revenues and our publications, was $58.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $8.6 million or 17.4%, from $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Global licensing revenues increased 23.1% or $8.3 million.

Franchise royalties were $9.5 million domestically and $4.0 million internationally for the nine months ended September 29, 2007. As a result of our recent acquisition of five franchises, total franchise royalties were down 15.3% to $13.5 million from $15.9 million in the prior year. On a comparable basis, excluding lost royalties from recent acquisitions, franchise royalties rose 11.8%.

Cost of revenues was $489.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $70.3 million or 16.8%, from $419.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit margin of 56.4% of sales for the nine months increased 60 basis points from 55.8% of sales in the comparable prior year period. The margin expansion was derived primarily from higher meeting fees per attendee, a result of the Monthly Pass commitment plan in NACO, a price increase in the U.K. and price increases in a few European markets, and from growth in the licensing business.

Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 increased $38.1 million or 30.4%, to $163.6 million, from $125.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. A significant portion of the increase resulted from additional television advertising. In the U.S., WW.com began advertising on television for the first time this year, with its national television advertising campaigns. For NACO, Continental Europe and the U.K., we increased our level of television advertising and experienced higher production costs as a result. We also invested more heavily in other non-TV media and direct mail in the NACO business and online advertising in the WW.com business during this period as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing expenses were 14.6% for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to 13.2% in the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $124.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 as compared to $101.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $23.1 million. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly above the prior year level, at 11.1% for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to 10.7% in the same period last year. This year’s selling, general and administrative expense has been impacted by our ongoing technology investment in upgrading our systems, both office and meeting room, by employment related expenses, in particular for building our Continental Europe and marketing infrastructures, and to a lesser extent for costs associated with our franchise acquisitions.

Operating income was $345.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, an increase of $43.7 million or 14.5%, from $301.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The operating income margin for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 was 30.8%, a decrease of 100 basis points from 31.8% for the comparable period last year, primarily as a result of our higher marketing expense.

21

Interest expense increased $46.7 million to $82.6 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, as compared to $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, while the average effective interest rate remained constant. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of higher debt outstanding. We raised our debt level in the first quarter of 2007 to finance the repurchase of 19.1 million of our shares (as further explained in “Liquidity and Capital Resources–Stock Transactions”).

In connection with the refinancing of the WW.com Credit Facility and the WWI Credit Facility (as further explained in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), we recorded a charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 relating to the write-off of the deferred financing costs associated with WW.com and of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 for early extinguishment of debt relating to WWI. These charges represented the write-off of a portion of deferred financing costs associated with this old debt.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 was 38.5%, as compared to 37.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Cash

For the nine months ended September 29, 2007, cash and cash equivalents were $48.7 million, an increase of $11.2 million from December 30, 2006. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $265.3 million. The cash provided by operations exceeded our net income of $161.4 million, with the excess arising from changes in our working capital, in particular a significant increase in deferred revenues, and differences between book and cash taxes. Funds used for investing and financing activities combined totaled $256.5 million. Investing activities utilized $38.2 million, primarily for acquisitions of $16.8 million, capital expenditures of $8.7 million, software expenditures of $8.7 million and website development expenditures of $3.9 million. Cash used for financing activities totaled $218.3 million. This included the repurchase of 19.1 million shares of our common stock for $1,033.6 million in connection with our Tender Offer and share repurchase from Artal (as further explained in “Liquidity and Capital Resources–Stock Transactions”) and dividend payments of $44.6 million, financed primarily by net proceeds from borrowings of $837.1 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $58.8 million, an increase of $27.3 million from December 31, 2005. Cash flows provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2006 were $234.0 million, including $32.2 million provided by WW.com’s operating activities. The cash provided by operations was driven by our net income of $165.5 million, changes in our working capital and permanent differences between book and cash taxes. Funds used for investing and financing activities combined totaled $208.0 million. Investing activities utilized $97.0 million, primarily for payments of $74.6 million for the purchase of Walmar, Vale and our Indiana franchise, capital expenditures of $10.2 million, software expenditures of $8.4 million and website development fees of $3.6 million. Cash used for financing activities totaled $111.0 million. This included the repurchase of 3.6 million shares of our common stock for $151.7 million, consistent with our stock repurchase program (as further explained in “Liquidity and Capital Resources–Stock Transactions”), and dividend payments of $34.8 million, offset by net proceeds from borrowings of $70.9 million.

Balance Sheet

Comparing the balance sheet at September 29, 2007 with that at December 30, 2006, our cash balance has increased by $11.2 million to $48.7 million, as noted above. Our working capital deficit at September 29, 2007 was $133.9 million, including $48.7 million of cash, as compared to $81.8 million, including $37.5 million of cash, at December 30, 2006. Excluding the change in cash, the working capital deficit increased by $63.3 million from December 30, 2006 to September 29, 2007.

Of the $63.3 million increase in negative working capital, approximately $81.4 million relates to operational items and $12.3 million reflects an increase in the current portion of our long-term debt. These are partially offset by a decrease in negative working capital of $30.4 million arising from higher deferred taxes. The $81.4 million of operational items is largely the result of a $28.3 million increase in deferred revenue for member prepayments associated with our new commitment plans, a $17.0 million increase in accrued interest and the remaining $36.1 million is primarily comprised of payables and accrued expenses.

Long-Term Debt

As of September 29, 2007, the WWI Credit Facility consisted of a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $1,550.0 million consisting of Term Loan A, Additional Term Loan A and Term Loan B, and the Revolver in the amount of up to $500.0 million. At September 29, 2007, we had debt of $1,686.3 million and had additional availability under our $500.0 million Revolver of $349.5 million.

At September 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, our debt consisted entirely of variable-rate instruments. The average interest rate on our debt was approximately 6.7% and 6.8% per annum at September 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively.

The following schedule sets forth our long-term debt obligations and interest rates at September 29, 2007:

Long-Term Debt

At September 29, 2007

	Balance (in millions)		Interest Rate
Revolver due 2011	$	147.5	6.79	%
Term Loan A due 2011		341.3	6.63	%
Additional Term Loan A due 2013		700.0	6.63	%
Term Loan B due 2014		497.5	6.88	%
Total Debt		1,686.3
Less Current Portion		31.3
Total Long-Term Debt	$	1,655.0

The Term Loan A, Additional Term Loan A and the Revolver bear interest at an initial rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum or, at our option, the alternate base rate (as defined in the WWI Credit Facility). The Term Loan B bears interest at an initial rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum or, at our option, the alternate base rate (as defined in the WWI Credit Facility). In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the WWI Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver with respect to the unused commitments at an initial rate equal to 0.25% per year.

23

The WWI Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that, in certain circumstances, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on and redeem capital stock, make other payments, including investments, sell our assets and enter into consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets. The WWI Credit Facility also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial condition tests. At September 29, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the required financial ratios and also met all of the financial condition tests and we are expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The WWI Credit Facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the WWI Credit Facility, the lenders thereunder may cease making loans and declare amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The WWI Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries. Substantially all of our assets collateralize the WWI Credit Facility.

On June 7, 2007, Standard & Poor’s raised its rating on our Term Loan A, Additional Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Revolver from “BB” to “BB+”. On January 4, 2007, Moody’s affirmed its “Ba1” rating for our Term Loan A and Revolver and assigned a “Ba1” rating to our Additional Term Loan A and Term Loan B.

The following schedule sets forth our year-by-year debt obligations:

Total Debt Obligation

(Including Current Portion)

As of September 29, 2007

(in millions)

Remainder of 2007	$	5.7
2008		45.6
2009		162.5
2010		215.0
2011		502.5
Thereafter		755.0
Total	$	1,686.3

Debt obligations due to be repaid in the next 12 months are expected to be satisfied with operating cash flows. We believe that cash flows from operating activities, together with borrowings available under our Revolver, will be sufficient for the next 12 months to fund currently anticipated capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements and working capital requirements.

Dividends

On March 12, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which was paid on April 13, 2007 to shareholders of record as of March 30, 2007. On June 14, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a dividend for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 paid on July 13, 2007 to shareholders of record as of June 29, 2007. On September 4, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, which was paid on October 12, 2007 to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2007.

The WWI Credit Facility provides that we are permitted to pay dividends and extraordinary dividends so long as we are not in default under our credit agreement. However, payment of extraordinary dividends shall not exceed $150 million in any fiscal year if net debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is greater than 2.5:1 and investment grade rating date (as defined in our credit agreement) has not occurred. We do not expect this restriction to impair our ability to pay dividends, but it could do so.

24

Stock Transactions

On December 18, 2006, we commenced a tender offer in which we sought to acquire up to 8.3 million shares of our common stock at a price between $47.00 and $54.00 per share, which we refer to as the Tender Offer. Prior to the Tender Offer, we entered into an agreement with Artal whereby Artal agreed to sell to us at the same price as is determined in the Tender Offer the number of our shares necessary to keep its percentage ownership in us at substantially the same level after the Tender Offer. Artal also agreed not to participate in the Tender Offer so that it would not affect the determination of the price in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer expired at midnight on January 18, 2007, and on January 26, 2007 we repurchased approximately 8.5 million shares at a price of $54.00 per share. The 8.5 million shares repurchased are comprised of the 8.3 million shares we offered to purchase and 0.2 million shares purchased pursuant to our right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding shares as of November 30, 2006. On February 2, 2007, we repurchased 10.5 million of our shares from Artal at a purchase price of $54.00 per share pursuant to our prior agreement with Artal.

On October 9, 2003, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On each of June 13, 2005 and May 25, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized adding an additional $250.0 million to this plan. The repurchase program allows for shares to be purchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. No shares will be purchased from Artal under the program. Other than the aforementioned Tender Offer and share repurchase from Artal, we purchased no additional shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 29, 2007.

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 and to comply with all of the financial covenants under our debt agreements 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 TRANSACTIONS

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions 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.

25

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For a discussion of related party transactions affecting us, see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. Other than during the normal course of business, the related party transactions affecting us have not changed since December 30, 2006.

SEASONALITY

Our business is seasonal, with revenues generally decreasing at year end and during the summer months. Our advertising schedule supports the three key enrollment-generating seasons of the year: winter, spring and fall, with winter having the highest concentration of advertising spending. The timing of certain holidays, particularly Easter, which precedes the spring diet season and occurs between March 22 and April 25, may affect our results of operations and the year-to-year comparability of our results. For example, in 2007, Easter fell on April 8, which means that the pre-summer diet season began earlier than it did in 2006. Our operating income for the first half of the year is generally the strongest. While WW.com experiences similar seasonality in terms of new subscriber signups, its revenue tends to be less seasonal because it amortizes subscription revenue over the related subscription period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since 100% of our debt is variable rate-based, any changes in market interest rates will cause an equal change in our interest expense associated with our debt. Accordingly we have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge a substantial portion of our variable rate debt, which mitigates a substantial portion of the associated market risk.

For a more detailed discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks that affect us, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. Our exposure to market risks has not changed materially since December 30, 2006.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In addition, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, in fiscal year 2007, we are in the process of upgrading some of our information systems, which will result in the automation of certain key processes. As we migrate to this new environment, our management takes appropriate actions to ensure the continuity of key controls, and the transitions are reviewed as part of our testing of internal controls as they relate to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 7, 2006, the Company filed an amended notice of appeal with the Tribunal appealing a ruling by HMRC that from April 1, 2005 Weight Watchers meetings fees in the U.K. should be fully subject to 17.5% standard rated value added tax, or VAT. For over a decade prior to April 1, 2005, HMRC had determined that Weight Watchers meetings fees in the U.K. were only partially subject to 17.5% VAT. It is the Company’s view that this prior determination by HMRC should remain in effect and this view was further supported on March 8, 2007 when the Tribunal ruled that Weight Watchers meetings in the U.K. should only be partially subject to 17.5% VAT. On May 3, 2007, HMRC appealed the Tribunal’s ruling in favor of the Company and a hearing is scheduled for November 2007. The Company intends to vigorously defend the Tribunal’s ruling. If such appeal by HMRC is ultimately successful or if it is determined by HMRC that a lesser proportion of Weight Watchers meetings fees as compared to HMRC’s prior rulings is not subject to 17.5% VAT, the Company may incur monetary liability in excess of reserves previously recorded and its U.K. results of operations may be adversely affected in the future. However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of this matter, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or ongoing cash flows of the Company.

On July 27, 2007, HMRC issued the Company notices of determination and decisions that for the period April 2001 to April 2007 the Company’s leaders and certain other service providers should have been classified as employees for tax purposes and, as such, the Company should have withheld tax from the leaders and certain other service providers pursuant to the PAYE and NIC collection rules and remitted such amounts to the HMRC. The current assessment associated with the notices of determination and decisions is approximately $27 million. It is the Company’s view that the U.K. leaders and other service providers identified by HMRC in its notices and decisions are self-employed and no withholding by the Company was required. On September 3, 2007, the Company appealed HMRC’s notices and decisions as to these classifications and against any amount of PAYE and NIC liability claimed to be owed by the Company. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this appeal and, although there can be no assurances, the Company believes it will ultimately prevail in its appeal. If such appeal is unsuccessful, it is possible that the Company’s cash flows and results of operations in a particular quarter may be adversely affected by this matter. However, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of this matter will not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or ongoing cash flows of the Company.

Due to the nature of its activities, the Company is also, at times, subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the normal course of business. The Company has had and continues to have disputes with certain of its franchisees. In the opinion of management, based in part upon advice of legal counsel, the disposition of all such matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
