NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galloway Capital Partners, LLC (\u201cGalloway\u201d), together with its affiliates, today announced that it has accumulated an ownership stake of approximately 8.42% in WW International, Inc. (\u201cWW\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d).<\/p>
\nGalloway believes WW is materially undervalued despite owning one of the world\u2019s most recognized wellness brands and operating in the rapidly growing markets of weight management, metabolic health, GLP-1 support, and longevity.<\/p>
\nFollowing its recent restructuring, WW reduced debt from approximately $1.4 billion to roughly $460 million while maintaining more than $220 million of cash on its balance sheet. Despite this improved capital structure, the Company\u2019s market capitalization has fallen to less than $100 million.<\/p>
\n\u201cWe believe the market is dramatically undervaluing WW\u2019s brand, clinical business, member ecosystem, and long-term strategic potential,\u201d said Bruce Galloway, Chief Investment Officer of Galloway Capital Partners.<\/p>
\nGalloway noted that WW\u2019s clinical business is growing more than 50% annually and believes the Company\u2019s approximately 2.8 million members, combined with decades of proprietary consumer data, represent a highly valuable strategic asset in an increasingly personalized healthcare and wellness environment.<\/p>
\nAt current levels, WW trades at approximately 3.7x EBITDA, a substantial discount to peers in the digital health and wellness sector.<\/p>
\nGalloway also stated that the Company has an opportunity to recruit a transformational CEO with expertise in consumer health, digital wellness, and subscription-based healthcare platforms.<\/p>
\n\u201cWe believe WW is worth a multiple of its current trading value and look forward to engaging constructively with the Board and management team to help unlock shareholder value,\u201d added Galloway.<\/p>
