Weight Watchers is becoming a much larger voice in the
preventative healthcare discussions. The very defi nition of
preventative care relates to maintaining good health habits
and leading a healthier lifestyle through methods that
are sustainable and effective. Weight Watchers provides
the method and tools to achieve sustainable, long-term
results. Our employees are working every day to increase
recognition that a healthier lifestyle is a necessity, and all of
our program enhancements and offerings make this goal
even more attainable. Additionally, our “At Work” program
helps employers save on healthcare costs and employees
lose weight and live healthier lifestyles through programs
offered conveniently at their workplace. In this context,
Weight Watchers has a critical role to play in addressing
this vexing health issue.
Looking to 2010, while the economic environment is still
a diffi cult one for consumers, we have the structure in
place to execute on our goals and continue to deliver solid
results. We are continuing to implement an aggressive
program to improve the Weight Watchers experience
and ensure the weight loss success of our members and
subscribers as we implement key initiatives that will drive
future growth for the Company.
I would like to thank all of our members and subscribers,
service providers, employees, directors and shareholders
for their insight and support in what has proven to be a
challenging, but immensely rewarding year for Weight
Watchers. I look forward to seeing our initiatives beginning
to bear fruit in the months and years ahead as we focus
on growing our business over the long-term.
Sincerely,
David P. Kirchhoff
President & Chief Executive Offi cer
