Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 st 53-week Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, revenue, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from these estimates. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity. Translation of Foreign Currencies For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the translation of intercompany receivables and intercompany payables with the Company’s international subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other expense, net, unless the receivable or payable is considered long-term in nature, in which case the foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Cash includes balances due from third-party credit card companies. Inventories Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 10 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the related assets. Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $17, $5 and $62, respectively, related to internal-use In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $758, $516 and $1,310, respectively, related to property, plant and equipment that were expected to be disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives. In fiscal 2022, the Company recorded lease asset impairment charges of $2,680 in the aggregate. See Note 4 for further information on the Company’s leases. Franchise Rights Acquired Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up In its hypothetical start-up Goodwill In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $104,019, $39,547 and $12,432, respectively, which represented 66.7%, 25.3% and 8.0%, respectively, of total goodwill as of December 31, 2022 of $155,998. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $105,121, $42,409 and $9,844, respectively, which represented 66.8%, 26.9% and 6.3%, respectively, of total goodwill as of January 1, 2022 of $157,374. In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of the Company’s reporting units, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Impairment Tests The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed its annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, based on triggering events, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022 on certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2022 on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. See Note 7 for further information regarding the results of the franchise rights acquired and goodwill annual impairment tests, the franchise rights acquired interim impairment test for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the franchise rights acquired and goodwill interim impairment tests for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Other Intangible Assets Other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years. The Company expenses all software costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalizes all internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development has reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 3 years for website development costs and from 3 to 5 years for all other software costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which do not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. The Company earns revenue from subscriptions for its digital products and by conducting workshops, for which it charges a fee, predominantly through commitment plans, as well as prepayment plans or the “pay-as-you-go” e-commerce Commitment plan revenues and prepaid workshop fees are recorded to revenue on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. “Digital Subscription Revenues,” consisting of the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Digital products, including Personal Coaching + Digital and Digital 360 (as applicable), are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. One-time sign-up non-refundable e-commerce “pay-as-you-go” The Company grants refunds in aggregate amounts that historically have not been material. Because the period of payment of the refund generally approximates the period revenue was originally recognized, refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue over the same period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred (amortization period would have been one year or less) and these expenses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company treats shipping and handling fees as fulfillment costs and not as a separate performance obligation, and as a result, any fees received from customers are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of product sales and other for amounts paid to applicable carriers. Sales tax, value-added tax and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist primarily of broadcast and digital media. All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred, except for media production-related costs, which are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Total advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 were $238,978, $252,754 and $248,473, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If it is more-likely-than-not The Company recognizes a benefit for uncertain tax positions when a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is more-likely-than-not In addition, assets and liabilities acquired in purchase business combinations are assigned their fair values and deferred taxes are provided for lower or higher tax bases. Derivative Instruments and Hedging The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company does not use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes the fair value of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company has designated and accounted for interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on its balance sheet. See Note 18 for a further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. The net effect of the interest payable and receivable under the Company’s effective interest rate swap is included in interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of fees paid by the Company as part of the establishment, exchange and/or modification of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $5,018, $6,136 and $8,845, respectively.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	4. Leases A lease is defined as an arrangement that contractually specifies the right to use and control an identified asset for a specific period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term, since the Company’s lessors do not provide an implicit rate, nor is one readily available. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the Company’s credit yield curve and adjusted for collateralization, credit quality and economic environment impact, all where applicable. The lease asset includes scheduled lease payments and excludes lease incentives, such as free rent periods and tenant improvement allowances. The Company has certain leases that may include an option to renew and when it is reasonably probable to exercise such option, the Company will include the renewal option terms in determining the lease asset and lease liability. The Company does not have any renewal options that would have a material impact on the terms of the leases and that are also reasonably expected to be exercised as of December 31, 2022. A lease may contain both fixed and variable payments. Variable lease payments that are linked to an index or rate are measured based on the current index or rate at the implementation of the lease accounting standard, or lease commencement date for new leases, with the impact of future changes in the index or rate being recorded as a period expense. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease non-lease non-lease The Company has elected the short-term lease exception accounting policy, whereby the recognition requirements of the updated guidance is not applied and lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis with respect to leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company’s operating leases are primarily for its studios and corporate offices. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company’s lease assets and lease liabilities were as follows: December 31, January 1, Assets: Operating lease assets $ 75,696 $ 89,902 Finance lease 54 127 Total leased assets $ 75,750 $ 90,029 Liabilities: Current Operating $ 17,955 $ 20,297 Finance 31 75 Noncurrent Operating 68,099 78,157 Finance 7 29 Total lease liabilities $ 86,092 $ 98,558 For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the components of the Company’s lease expense were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, Operating lease cost: Fixed lease cost $ 33,227 $ 37,688 $ 48,674 Lease termination cost 2,726 8,542 6,109 Variable lease cost 27 21 (30 ) Total operating lease cost $ 35,980 $ 46,251 $ 54,753 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets $ 112 $ 151 $ 192 Interest on lease liabilities 6 8 12 Total finance lease cost $ 118 $ 159 $ 204 Total lease cost $ 36,098 $ 46,410 $ 54,957 In conjunction with the continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio, the Company entered into subleases, which resulted in lease asset impairment charges of $2,680 in the aggregate that were recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company expects to begin recording sublease income as of the sublease commencement dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as an offset to general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates were as follows: December 31, January 1, Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (years) Operating leases 6.90 7.29 Finance leases 1.00 1.54 Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 7.03 7.15 Finance leases 3.52 5.31 The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0 to 10 years with a weighted average lease term of 6.90 years as of December 31, 2022.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	7. Franchise Rights Acquired, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Franchise rights acquired are due to acquisitions of the Company’s franchised territories as well as the acquisition of franchise promotion agreements and other factors associated with the acquired franchise territories. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the carrying value of franchise rights acquired was due to the impairments of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia units of account as discussed below, the effect of exchange rate changes and the Northern Ireland franchisee acquisition as described in Note 6. Goodwill primarily relates to the acquisition of the Company by The Kraft Heinz Company (successor to H.J. Heinz Company) in 1978, and the Company’s acquisitions of WW.com, LLC (formerly known as WW.com, Inc. and WeightWatchers.com, Inc.) in 2005 and the Company’s franchised territories. See Note 6 for additional information about acquisitions by the Company. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill was due to the Republic of Ireland franchisee and Northern Ireland franchisee acquisitions as described in Note 6, the impairments of the Republic of Ireland reporting unit and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Kurbo, Inc. (“Kurbo”) as discussed below and the effect of exchange rate changes as follows: North America International Total Balance as of January 2, 2021 $ 145,071 $ 10,546 $ 155,617 Goodwill acquired during the period 2,153 — 2,153 Effect of exchange rate changes 306 (702 ) (396 ) Balance as of January 1, 2022 $ 147,530 $ 9,844 $ 157,374 Goodwill acquired during the period — 5,936 5,936 Goodwill impairment (1,101 ) (2,023 ) (3,124 ) Effect of exchange rate changes (2,862 ) (1,326 ) (4,188 ) Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 143,567 $ 12,431 $ 155,998 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Annual Impairment Test The Company performed its annual impairment review of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 on May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, respectively. In performing its annual impairment analysis as of May 8, 2022, the Company determined that (i) the carrying amounts of its Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values and, as a result, the Company recorded impairment charges impairment impairment Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States unit of account, which held 92.7% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair value of this unit of account exceeded its carrying value by approximately 15%. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its Canada and New Zealand units of account, which held 4.6 % and 0.5%, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. The above difference or lack thereof between the estimated fair value of the applicable unit of account and its carrying value is referred to herein as the “Annual Impairment Headroom”. As previously disclosed, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand could change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $698,383, $34,556 and $3,574, respectively, as of July 2, 2022. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual franchise rights acquired impairment analysis performed for its remaining units of account, which collectively held 2.2% of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account exceeded their respective carrying values by over 100%. In performing this annual impairment analysis for fiscal 2022, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for all of its reporting units, all units, except for the Republic of Ireland, had an estimated fair value at least 35% higher than the respective unit’s carrying amount. Collectively, these reporting units represented 97.3% of the Company’s total goodwill as of the July 2, 2022 balance sheet date. Based on the results of the Company’s May 8, 2022 annual goodwill impairment analysis performed for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit, which held 2.7% of the Company’s goodwill as of the July 2, 2022 The following are the more significant assumptions utilized in the Company’s annual impairment analyses for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021: Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2021 Debt-Free Cumulative Annual Cash Flow Growth Rate 1.2% to 20.6% 0.2% to 2.6% Discount Rate 9.6% 8.5% Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test During the quarter ended October 1, 2022, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively, when combined with the Annual Impairment Headroom discussed above for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, indicated a triggering event had occurred within these units of account. These factors included actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in its annual impairment test, the continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test of these units of account. In performing this interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its United States, Canada and New Zealand franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges In performing this interim impairment analysis, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up Based on the results of the Company’s October 1, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account, which held 91.5%, 4.4% and 0.5%, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the October 1, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Canada and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Canada and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $400,092, $19,342 and $2,141, respectively, as of October 1, 2022. The most significant assumptions used in the interim impairment test discussed above were the discount rate applied and the Digital revenue growth rates. The Company applied a discount rate of 13.4% based on our actual weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The Company projected Digital revenues based upon its current and past performance. Changes in these assumptions would have a significant impact on the valuation model. Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired Interim Impairment Test During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively indicated a triggering event had occurred. These factors included (i) actual business performance as compared to the assumptions used in its third quarter fiscal 2022 interim impairment test for the United States, Canada and New Zealand units of account and as compared to the assumptions used in its annual impairment test in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for the United Kingdom and Australia units of account; and (ii) the further decline in the Company’s market capitalization and market factors, including the increase in interest rates. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test for all of its franchise rights acquired units of account in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In performing the interim franchise rights acquired impairment test as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of its United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges start-up impairment In performing this interim impairment analysis, in the Company’s hypothetical start-up Based on the results of the Company’s December 31, 2022 interim franchise rights acquired impairment test performed for its United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand units of account, which held 97.6%, 1.1%, 0.7%, and 0.6%, respectively, of the Company’s franchise rights acquired as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of these units of account were equal to their respective carrying values. Accordingly, a change in the underlying assumptions for the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand may change the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in an impairment of the franchise rights acquired related to the United States, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand, for which the net book values were $374,353, $4,232, $2,666 and $2,432, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. The most significant assumptions used in the interim impairment test discussed above were the discount rate applied and the Digital revenue growth rates. The Company applied a discount rate of 13.7% based on our actual weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. The Company projected Digital revenues based upon its current and past performance. Changes in these assumptions would have a significant impact on the valuation model. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the Company’s discount rate assumption would decrease the fair values of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand units of account by approximately 6.6%, 8.9%, 5.6% and 5.3%, respectively, which would result in additional impairment charges. Holding all other assumptions constant, a hypothetical 1% reduction in projected Digital revenues for each year in the analysis would decrease the fair values of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand units of account by approximately 1.0%, 6.8%, 2.9% and 1.0%, respectively, which would also result in additional impairment charges. Republic of Ireland Goodwill Impairment With respect to its Republic of Ireland reporting unit, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company made a strategic decision to delay the launch of the Digital business in that country. As a result of this decision, a triggering event occurred which required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing its discounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $2,023. The preponderance of this impairment was driven by a decrease in projected revenues and an increased weighted-average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test as compared to the weighted-average cost of capital used in the May 8, 2022 annual impairment test of its goodwill, reflecting market factors including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company’s equity and debt. Kurbo Goodwill Impairment On August 10, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Kurbo Health, Inc., a family-based healthy lifestyle coaching program, for a net purchase price of $3,063, of which $1,101 was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill was deductible annually for tax purposes. The Company determined in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to exit the Kurbo business in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as part of its strategic plan. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,101 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which comprised the entire goodwill balance for Kurbo. Brazil Goodwill Impairment With respect to its Brazil reporting unit, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made a strategic decision to shift to an exclusively Digital business in that country. The Company determined that this decision, together with the negative impact of COVID-19, As it related to its goodwill impairment analysis for Brazil, the Company estimated future debt-free cash flows in contemplation of its growth strategies for that market. In developing these projections, the Company considered the growth strategies under the current market conditions in Brazil.

On April 13, 2021, the Company (1) repaid in full approximately $1,189,750 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2024 under its then-existing credit facilities and (2) redeemed all of the $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “Discharged Senior Notes”). On April 13, 2021, the Company’s then-existing credit facilities included a senior secured revolving credit facility (which included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2022 with $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments. There were no outstanding borrowings under such revolving credit facility on that date. The Company funded such repayment of loans and redemption of notes with cash on hand as well as with proceeds received from approximately $1,000,000 in an aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its new credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities”) and proceeds received from the issuance of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), each as described below. These transactions are collectively referred to herein as the “April 2021 debt refinancing”. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company incurred fees of $37,910 (which included $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes and $5,000 of a debt discount on its Term Loan Facility (as defined below)) in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing. In addition, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $29,169 in connection thereto. This early extinguishment of debt charge was comprised of $12,939 of a prepayment penalty on the Discharged Senior Notes, $9,017 of financing fees paid in connection with the April 2021 debt refinancing and the write-off pre-existing Credit Facilities The Credit Facilities were issued under a credit agreement, dated April 13, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent and an issuing bank. The Credit Facilities consist of (1) $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B term loans due in 2028 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) $175,000 in an aggregate principal amount of commitments under a senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due in 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In December 2021, the Company made voluntary prepayments at par in an aggregate amount of $52,500 in respect of its outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility. As a result of these prepayments, the Company wrote off a debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1,183 in the aggregate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $945,000 in an aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, with $173,921 of availability and $1,079 in issued but undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to its terms and conditions as discussed below. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including: • a pledge of 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. non-U.S. • a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Facilities require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with: • 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% if the Company attains certain first lien secured net leverage ratios) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow; • 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary • 100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the Term Loan Facility. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities at any time without penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans under the Credit Facilities. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.50% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided that LIBOR is not lower than a floor of 0.50%. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%; provided that such rate is not lower than a floor of 1.00% or (2) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, provided such rate is not lower than a floor of zero. As of December 31, 2022, the applicable margins for the LIBOR rate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility were 3.50% and 2.75%, respectively. In the event that LIBOR is phased out as is currently expected, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company and the administrative agent may amend the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR definition therein with a successor rate subject to notifying the lending syndicate of such change and not receiving within five business days of such notification objections to such replacement rate from lenders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments then outstanding under the Credit Agreement; provided that such lending syndicate may not object to a SOFR-based successor rate contained in any such amendment. If the Company fails to do so, its borrowings will be based off of the alternative base rate plus a margin. The Company expects to transition from LIBOR in advance of its cessation on or about June 30, 2023. On a quarterly basis, the Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder, which commitment fee fluctuates depending upon the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt, amendments of material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, changes to lines of business and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions are also subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, if the aggregate principal amount of extensions of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of any fiscal quarter end exceeds 35% of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in effect on such date, the Company must be in compliance with a Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of 5.75:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2022 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2023, with a step down to 5.50:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2023 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2024, with an additional step down to 5.25:1.00 for the period ending after the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through and including the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and again to 5.00:1.00, for the period following the first fiscal quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s actual Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio was 5.77:1.00 and there were no borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and total letters of credit issued were $1,079. The Company was not in compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2022, and as a result, the Company is limited to borrowing no more than 35%, or $61,250, of the amount of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility as of each fiscal quarter end until the Company is in compliance again with such ratio. Senior Secured Notes The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment The Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.500% and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, such optional redemption price decreasing to 101.125% on or after April 15, 2025 and to 100.000% on or after April 15, 2026. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 104.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Secured Notes at a make-whole price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, during any twelve-month period ending prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a change of control occurs, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Following the sale of certain assets and subject to certain conditions, the Company must offer to purchase for cash the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Notes and the note guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on all the collateral that secures the Credit Facilities, subject to a shared lien of equal priority with the Company’s and each guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Facilities and subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens. Outstanding Debt At December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,445,000 outstanding under the Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Notes, consisting of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of $945,000, $0 drawn down on the Revolving Credit Facility and $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company’s debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. See Note 19 for information on the Company’s interest rate swaps. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, exclusive of the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.45% and 5.11% per annum at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. The weighted average interest rate (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount) on the Company’s outstanding debt, including the impact of the swaps then in effect, was approximately 5.50% and 5.62% per annum at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, based on interest rates on these dates. Maturities At December 31, 2022, the aggregate amounts of the Company’s existing long-term debt maturing in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter were as follows: Fiscal 2023 $ — Fiscal 2024 — Fiscal 2025 — Fiscal 2026 — Fiscal 2027 10,000 Thereafter 1,435,000 $ 1,445,000

Stock Plans	12. Stock Plans Incentive Compensation Plans, Inducement Option and Winfrey Amendment Option On May 6, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). On May 6, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2014 Plan”, and together with the 2008 Plan, the “Stock Plans”), which replaced the 2008 Plan for all equity-based awards granted on or after May 6, 2014. The 2014 Plan is designed to promote the long-term financial interests and growth of the Company by attracting, motivating and retaining employees with the ability to contribute to the success of the business and to align compensation for the Company’s employees over a multi-year period directly with the interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program has historically included time-vesting non-qualified Under the 2014 Plan, grants may take the following forms at the Company’s Board of Directors’ Compensation and Benefits Committee’s (the “Compensation Committee”) discretion: non-qualified Under the 2014 Plan, the Company also grants fully-vested shares of its common stock to certain members of its Board of Directors. While these shares are fully vested, the directors are restricted from selling these shares while they are still serving on the Company’s Board of Directors subject to limited exceptions. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the Company granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors an aggregate of 77, 29 and 31 fully-vested shares, respectively, and recognized compensation expense of $624, $757 and $688, respectively. Commencing during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the above-referenced members of the Company’s Board of Directors could elect to defer receipt of such grants of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to their service on the Company’s Board of Directors during fiscal 2022. Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors made such an election such that the Company granted to those members of its Board of Directors an aggregate of 27 deferred stock units. These deferred stock units will be settled on the date of separation from service from the Company’s Board of Directors of the applicable member of the Company’s Board of Directors or earlier based on his or her election or upon a change in control of the Company. In fiscal 2022, as part of an initial equity award, the Company granted a stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of its common stock (the “Inducement Option”) to its new Chief Executive Officer upon commencement of her employment. The Inducement Option vests proportionately over four years on each anniversary of the grant date and expires on the seven-year anniversary of the grant date. While the Inducement Option was granted in reliance on an employment inducement exemption and not awarded pursuant to the 2014 Plan, it is subject to the same terms and conditions of the 2014 Plan. Under the Winfrey Amendment Option (as defined below), in fiscal 2020 the Company granted Ms. Winfrey a fully vested option to purchase 3,276 shares of the Company’s common stock as more fully described in Note 22. The Company issues common stock for share-based compensation awards from treasury stock. The total compensation cost that has been charged against income for share-based compensation awards and the Winfrey Amendment Option, as applicable, was $12,333, $21,348 and $55,013 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Such amounts have been included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all share-based compensation awards was $2,603, $5,175 and $10,915 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. The tax benefits realized from options exercised and RSUs and PSUs vested totaled $1,017, $7,999 and $8,426 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. No compensation costs were capitalized. As of December 31, 2022, there was $24,958 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs granted under the Stock Plans and the Inducement Option. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

Taxes Income Taxes The components of the Company’s consolidated income before income taxes consist of the following: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, Domestic $ (375,689 ) $ (27,763 ) $ (10,467 ) Foreign 9,907 104,428 102,970 $ (365,782 ) $ 76,665 $ 92,503 The following tables summarize the Company’s consolidated (benefit) provision for U.S. federal, state and foreign taxes on income: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, Current: U.S. federal $ 13,147 $ 38 $ (14,052 ) State 3,446 1,055 4,421 Foreign 20,022 24,245 28,533 $ 36,615 $ 25,338 $ 18,902 Deferred: U.S. federal $ (114,727 ) $ (8,510 ) $ 94 State (24,262 ) (9,589 ) (2,835 ) Foreign (12,005 ) 2,534 1,301 $ (150,994 ) $ (15,565 ) $ (1,440 ) Total tax (benefit) provision $ (114,379 ) $ 9,773 $ 17,462 The effective tax rates for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 were 31.3%, 12.7% and 18.9%, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate is as follows: The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $48,265 tax benefit from a legal entity restructuring in connection with the Organizational Realignment (as defined below) which resulted in a reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities, (ii) a $4,450 tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”), and (iii) a $2,150 tax benefit for out-of-period The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $6,347 tax benefit related to a decrease in the applicable state tax rate on certain deferred income, (ii) a $3,548 tax benefit related to tax windfalls from stock compensation and (iii) a $1,560 tax benefit due to the reversal of a valuation allowance related to certain non-U.S. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 was impacted by the following items: (i) a $7,566 tax benefit related to the reversal of the tax impact of global intangible low-taxed out-of-period Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, U.S. federal statutory tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes (net of federal benefit) 3.8 % (1.8 %) 1.0 % Research and development credit 0.4 % (1.8 %) (2.2 %) Tax windfall/shortfall on share-based awards (0.5 %) (4.6 %) (4.3 %) Reserves for uncertain tax positions 0.0 % 0.2 % 0.9 % Tax rate changes 0.3 % (8.2 %) (1.2 %) Executive compensation limitation (0.2 %) 1.8 % 1.2 % GILTI 0.0 % 0.0 % (8.2 %) FDII 1.2 % 0.0 % (1.5 %) Change in valuation allowance (7.1 %) (2.0 %) 0.0 % Out-of-period 0.6 % 0.0 % 2.5 % Impact of foreign operations (1.6 %) 9.0 % 8.7 % Reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities 13.2 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Other 0.2 % (0.9 %) 1.0 % Total effective tax rate 31.3 % 12.7 % 18.9 % On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to modifications to the net interest deduction limitation, net operating loss carryforward rules, refundable payroll tax credits and deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes. On July 20, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department released final regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 951A (TD 9902) permitting a taxpayer to elect to exclude from its GILTI inclusion items of income subject to a high effective rate of foreign tax. As a result of the final regulations, the Company recorded a $7,566 tax benefit in fiscal 2020 related to the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 taxes previously accrued attributable to GILTI. The deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows: December 31, January 1, Interest expense disallowance $ 54,259 $ 44,598 Operating lease liabilities 20,842 22,901 Operating loss carryforwards 10,102 14,172 Provision for estimated expenses 2,734 2,128 Salaries and wages 10,280 2,710 Share-based compensation 15,190 15,707 Other comprehensive income 1,841 6,306 Other 3,695 5,927 Less: valuation allowance (35,818 ) (10,083 ) Total deferred tax assets $ 83,125 $ 104,366 Goodwill and intangible assets $ (51,841 ) $ (224,548 ) Operating lease assets (18,228 ) (20,794 ) Depreciation (13,498 ) (4,044 ) Prepaid expenses (431 ) (1,433 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (83,998 ) $ (250,819 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (873 ) $ (146,453 ) As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had primarily foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $82,184 and $111,432, respectively, some of which have an unlimited carryforward period, while others expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2023. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its state and certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards as it is deemed more likely than not that such losses will not be realized. In fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a $1,560 income tax benefit for the release in the valuation allowance related to its operations in Switzerland. As of December 31, 2022, the Company established a $27,108 valuation allowance on its business interest expense carryforwards. As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changing the U.S. to a modified territorial tax system, the Company does not assert its $82,355 of undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2022 are permanently reinvested. The Company has considered whether there would be any potential future costs of not asserting indefinite reinvestment and does not expect such costs to be significant. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, Balance at beginning of year $ 1,055 $ 851 $ 206 Increases related to tax positions taken in current year 145 196 — Increases related to tax positions taken in prior years 8 260 605 Reductions related to tax positions taken in prior years (95 ) (199 ) — Reductions related to settlements with tax authorities (273 ) — — Reductions related to lapse of statutes of limitations (206 ) — — Effects of foreign currency translation (23 ) (53 ) 40 Balance at end of year $ 611 $ 1,055 $ 851 At December 31, 2022, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $508. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. At December 31, 2022, 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 2019, or non-U.S. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had $(60) and $(54) of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $83, $142 and $190 of income tax expense in interest and penalties during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. The U.S. federal government has recently signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) which, among other things, imposes a minimum “book” tax on certain large corporations and creates a new excise tax on stock repurchases made by certain publicly traded corporations after December 31, 2022. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the IRA on its consolidated financial statements as it awaits further guidance, the Company does not currently expect a material impact. Non-Income The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) notified the Company of certain penalties assessed related to the annual disclosure and reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The Company is in the process of appealing this determination and does not believe it has any liability with respect to this matter. Until the appeals process is complete, the IRS will maintain a federal tax lien which is currently limited to certain IRS refunds due to the Company.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	14. Employee Benefit Plans The Company sponsors the Third Amended and Restated WW Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) for salaried and certain hourly U.S. employees of the Company. The Savings Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides for employer matching contributions of 50% of the employee’s tax deferred contributions up to 6% of an employee’s eligible compensation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021. Effective as of May 30, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended employer matching contributions through December 31, 2020. Expense related to these contributions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $2,564, $3,136 and $1,655, respectively. During fiscal 2014, the Company received a favorable determination letter from the IRS that qualifies the Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the Savings Plan, the Company also makes profit sharing contributions for all full-time salaried U.S. employees who are eligible to participate in the Savings Plan (except for certain personnel above a determined compensation level). The profit sharing contribution is a guaranteed monthly employer contribution on behalf of each participant based on the participant’s age and a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation. The Savings Plan also has a discretionary supplemental profit sharing employer contribution component that is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. Effective as of March 6, 2022, the Company suspended profit sharing contributions. Effective as of May 30, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended profit sharing contributions through December 31, 2020. Expense related to these contributions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $179, $1,342 and $914, respectively. For certain U.S. personnel above a determined compensation level, the Company sponsors the Second Amended and Restated Weight Watchers Executive Profit Sharing Plan (“EPSP”). Under the IRS definition, the EPSP is considered a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. There is a promise of payment by the Company made on the employees’ behalf instead of an individual account with a cash balance. The EPSP provides for a guaranteed employer contribution on behalf of each participant based on the participant’s age and a percentage of the participant’s eligible compensation. The EPSP has a discretionary supplemental employer contribution component that is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. The E P

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Geographic Data	17. Segment and Geographic Data Effective the first day of fiscal 2023 (i.e., January 1, 2023), the Company realigned its organizational structure and resources to more closely align with its strategic priorities and centralized the global management of certain functions and systems. As a result of the change in its organizational structure, the Company now has two reportable segments, consisting of North America and International. The Company has two reportable segments based on its organizational structure and how the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) allocates resources and assesses financial performance, North America and International. “North America” refers to the Company’s North American Company-owned operations and franchise revenues and related costs. “International” refers to the Company’s Continental Europe Company-owned operations, United Kingdom Company-owned operations, and Australia, New Zealand and emerging markets operations. Each reportable segment provides similar services and products. To be consistent with the information that is presented to the CODM, the Company does not include intercompany activity in the segment results. Information about the Company’s reportable segments is as follows: Total Revenues, net for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, North America $ 728,379 $ 816,418 $ 946,307 International 312,477 396,045 431,817 Total revenues, net $ 1,040,856 $ 1,212,463 $ 1,378,124 Net (Loss) Income for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, Segment operating (loss) income: North America $ (218,997 ) $ 218,257 $ 271,123 International 83,330 130,622 136,337 Total segment operating (loss) income $ (135,667 ) $ 348,879 $ 407,460 General corporate expenses 147,283 152,595 191,298 Interest expense 81,141 87,909 123,310 Other expense, net 1,691 1,358 349 Early extinguishment of debt — 30,352 — (Benefit from) provision for income taxes (114,379 ) 9,773 17,462 Net (loss) income $ (251,403 ) $ 66,892 $ 75,041 Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest — — 38 Net (loss) income attributable to WW International, Inc. $ (251,403 ) $ 66,892 $ 75,079 Depreciation and Amortization for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, January 1, January 2, North America $ 32,521 $ 39,270 $ 39,740 International 1,660 2,671 3,002 Total segment depreciation and amortization $ 34,181 $ 41,941 $ 42,742 General corporate depreciation and amortization 14,638 12,745 16,780 Depreciation and amortization $ 48,819 $ 54,686 $ 59,522 The following tables present information about the Company’s revenue and other information by geographic area.

Fair Value Measurements	Dec. 31, 2022
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	18. Fair Value Measurements Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. When measuring fair value, the Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s significant financial instruments include long-term debt and interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022. Since there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the fair value approximated a carrying value of $0 at both December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s Credit Facilities is determined by utilizing average bid prices on or near the end of each fiscal quarter (Level 2 input). As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $782,384 and $1,389,306, respectively, as compared to the carrying value (net of deferred financing costs and debt discount) of $1,422,284 and $1,418,104, respectively. Derivative Financial Instruments The fair values for the Company’s derivative financial instruments are determined using observable current market information such as the prevailing LIBOR interest rate and LIBOR yield curve rates and include consideration of counterparty credit risk. See Note 19 for disclosures related to derivative financial instruments. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments: Fair Value Measurements Using: Total Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Interest rate swap current asset at December 31, 2022 $ 11,748 $ — $ 11,748 $ — Interest rate swap noncurrent asset at December 31, 2022 $ 2,450 $ — $ 2,450 $ — Interest rate swap current liability at January 1, 2022 $ 14,670 $ — $ 14,670 $ — The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 and did not maintain any assets or liabilities classified as Level 3 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	19. Derivative Instruments and Hedging As of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had in effect interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $500,000. On July 26, 2013, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap with an effective date of March 31, 2014 and a termination date of April 2, 2020. The initial notional amount of this swap was $1,500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $1,500,000 effective March 31, 2014 to $1,250,000 on April 3, 2017 and to $1,000,000 on April 1, 2019. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 2.41%. This swap qualified for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of this swap were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. On June 11, 2018, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2018 swap”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The initial notional amount of this swap was $500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $250,000 on March 31, 2021. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 3.1005%. On June 7, 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2019 swap”, and together with the 2018 swap, the “current swaps”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The notional amount of this swap is $250,000. This interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.901%. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2022, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $10,723 ($14,146 before taxes). As of January 1, 2022, the cumulative unrealized loss for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $10,843 ($14,622 before taxes). The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments by balance sheet classification and location: Fair Value Balance Sheet Balance Sheet Location December 31, January 1, Assets: Interest rate swaps - current swaps Current asset Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 11,748 $ — Interest rate swaps - current swaps Noncurrent asset Other noncurrent assets 2,450 — Total assets $ 14,198 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swaps - current swaps Current liability Derivative payable $ — $ 14,670 Total liabilities $ — $ 14,670 The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next two years. The Company expects approximately $9,890 ($13,194 before taxes) of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2022, based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 st 53-week
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, the impairment analysis for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, revenue, share-based compensation, income taxes, tax contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While all available information has been considered, actual amounts could differ from these estimates. These assumptions and estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Translation of Foreign Currencies	Translation of Foreign Currencies For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the translation of intercompany receivables and intercompany payables with the Company’s international subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other expense, net, unless the receivable or payable is considered long-term in nature, in which case the foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Cash includes balances due from third-party credit card companies.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 10 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the related assets. Expenditures for new facilities and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $17, $5 and $62, respectively, related to internal-use In fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $758, $516 and $1,310, respectively, related to property, plant and equipment that were expected to be disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives. In fiscal 2022, the Company recorded lease asset impairment charges of $2,680 in the aggregate. See Note 4 for further information on the Company’s leases.
Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill	Franchise Rights Acquired Finite-lived franchise rights acquired are amortized over the remaining contractual period, which is generally less than one year. Indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired are tested for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. In performing the impairment analysis for indefinite-lived franchise rights acquired, the fair value for franchise rights acquired is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach referred to as the hypothetical start-up In its hypothetical start-up Goodwill In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for the Company’s reporting units is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. This approach involves projecting future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit and discounting those estimated cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair value is then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company has determined the appropriate reporting unit for purposes of assessing annual impairment to be the country for all reporting units. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the December 31, 2022 balance sheet date were $104,019, $39,547 and $12,432, respectively, which represented 66.7%, 25.3% and 8.0%, respectively, of total goodwill as of December 31, 2022 of $155,998. The net book values of goodwill in the United States, Canada and other countries as of the January 1, 2022 balance sheet date were $105,121, $42,409 and $9,844, respectively, which represented 66.8%, 26.9% and 6.3%, respectively, of total goodwill as of January 1, 2022 of $157,374. In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, for all of the Company’s reporting units, the Company estimated future cash flows by utilizing the historical debt-free cash flows (cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures) attributable to that country and then applied expected future operating income growth rates for such country. The Company utilized operating income as the basis for measuring its potential growth because it believes it is the best indicator of the performance of its business. The Company then discounted the estimated future cash flows utilizing a discount rate which was calculated using the weighted-average cost of capital, which included the cost of equity and the cost of debt. Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Impairment Tests The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, including franchise rights acquired with indefinite lives, and goodwill for potential impairment on at least an annual basis or more often if events so require. The Company performed its annual fair value impairment testing as of May 8, 2022 and May 9, 2021, each the first day of fiscal May, on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, based on triggering events, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of October 1, 2022 on certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and an interim impairment test as of December 31, 2022 on its indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for its Republic of Ireland reporting unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. See Note 7 for further information regarding the results of the franchise rights acquired and goodwill annual impairment tests, the franchise rights acquired interim impairment test for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the franchise rights acquired and goodwill interim impairment tests for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
Other Intangible Assets	Other Intangible Assets Other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 20 years. The Company expenses all software costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and capitalizes all internal and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing software once the development has reached the application development stage. Application development stage costs generally include software configuration, coding, installation to hardware and testing. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 3 years for website development costs and from 3 to 5 years for all other software costs. All costs incurred for upgrades, maintenance and enhancements, including the cost of website content, which do not result in additional functionality, are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. The Company earns revenue from subscriptions for its digital products and by conducting workshops, for which it charges a fee, predominantly through commitment plans, as well as prepayment plans or the “pay-as-you-go” e-commerce Commitment plan revenues and prepaid workshop fees are recorded to revenue on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. “Digital Subscription Revenues,” consisting of the fees associated with subscriptions for the Company’s Digital products, including Personal Coaching + Digital and Digital 360 (as applicable), are recognized on a straight-line basis as control is transferred since these performance obligations are satisfied over time. One-time sign-up non-refundable e-commerce “pay-as-you-go” The Company grants refunds in aggregate amounts that historically have not been material. Because the period of payment of the refund generally approximates the period revenue was originally recognized, refunds are recorded as a reduction of revenue over the same period. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred (amortization period would have been one year or less) and these expenses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company treats shipping and handling fees as fulfillment costs and not as a separate performance obligation, and as a result, any fees received from customers are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of product sales and other for amounts paid to applicable carriers. Sales tax, value-added tax and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist primarily of broadcast and digital media. All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred, except for media production-related costs, which are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Total advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 were $238,978, $252,754 and $248,473, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. If it is more-likely-than-not The Company recognizes a benefit for uncertain tax positions when a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is more-likely-than-not In addition, assets and liabilities acquired in purchase business combinations are assigned their fair values and deferred taxes are provided for lower or higher tax bases.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	Derivative Instruments and Hedging The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Interest rate swaps were entered into to hedge a portion of the cash flow exposure associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company does not use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes the fair value of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company has designated and accounted for interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on its balance sheet. See Note 18 for a further discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. The net effect of the interest payable and receivable under the Company’s effective interest rate swap is included in interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of fees paid by the Company as part of the establishment, exchange and/or modification of the Company’s long-term debt. Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 was $5,018, $6,136 and $8,845, respectively.
