WW Earnings: Will Its Digital-First Strategy Work Out?

Ahead of the print, WW shares are flat on a three-month basis. Last quarter, the global wellness company reported mixed results with a revenue miss. WW cited declines in workshop fees and overall product sales as a result of COVID-19 pressures. Investors are also anxious about up-and-coming players like weight-loss app Noom and food-tracking monitor Lifesum.

But despite the revenue shortfall, analysts praised WW's pivot to a digital-first world. That included WW shutting down studios and ramping up digital health and wellness services (which boast higher profit margins). Plus WW's total subscribers rose 5% in Q3 to a record 4.7M. Most impressively, digital subscribers soared 23.5% year-over-year (YoY), with eCommerce sales rising 300%.

According to CEO Mindy Grossman, "All of WW's 4.7 million members utilize our digital platforms, with over 80% of our members being digital-only and 20% having both digital and workshop, whether virtual or physical access." So did this strategy continues to pay off in the fourth quarter?
