The “As adjusted” measure is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts the consolidated statements of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to exclude the net impact of the $1.9 million ($1.4 million after tax)of 2023 plan restructuring charges andthe $0.1 million ($0.1 million after tax)of 2022 plan restructuring charges. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for an explanation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures.
Current report
Certain results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 are adjusted to exclude the net impact of restructuring charges and the impact of acquisition transaction costs. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of certain of those components of our selected financial data for the three months ended July 1, 2023 which have been adjusted.
Current report
The “As adjusted” measure is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts the consolidated statements of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to exclude the net impact of the $1.8 million ($1.3 million after tax)of 2023 plan restructuring charges, the $0.8 million ($0.6 million after tax)of 2022 plan restructuring charges, the $0.1 million ($48 thousand after tax) of 2021 plan restructuring charges and the reversal of $16 thousand ($12 thousand after tax) of 2020 plan restructuring charges, and the impact of the $4.9 million ($4.3 million after tax) of acquisition transaction costs. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for an explanation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures.
Current report
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $202.1 million, a decrease of $24.8 million, or 10.9%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which negatively impacted our revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.7 million, revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased 10.6% versus the prior year period. This decrease was driven by both the decline in Other Revenues and the decline in Subscription Revenues. The decline in Other Revenues was primarily due to the discontinuation of our consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023. The decline in Subscription Revenues was primarily due to a higher mix of subscribers within their initial, lower-priced, commitment periods and the continued mix shift from our Workshops + Digital business to our Digital business. Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by non-Clinical recruitment declines during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period. The decline in Subscription Revenues was partially offset by an increase in Clinical Subscription Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period. See “—Operating Results” for additional details on revenues.
Current report
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased $5.9 million, or 4.1%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which negatively impacted gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.5 million, gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased 3.8% versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the reversal of $0.1 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and the net impact of the $0.7 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased by 4.6%, or 4.3% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to 67.9% versus 63.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have increased 4.9% to 68.0% versus the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the reversal of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have increased 4.5% to 67.9%, both as adjusted and as adjusted on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This gross margin increase was driven primarily by the discontinuation of our lower margin consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased $18.1 million, or 27.5%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which decreased selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.1 million, selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased 27.4% versus the prior year period. Excluding the net impact of the $2.1 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the net impact of the $2.0 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and the impact of the $4.9 million of acquisition transaction costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased by 22.6%, or 22.4% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decline in employee compensation and related costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased to 23.6% from 29.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and the impact of acquisition transaction costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased by 3.4%, both as adjusted and as adjusted on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period.

Operating Income
Current report
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $9.6 million, or 36.5%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which negatively impacted operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.3 million, operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have increased 37.6% versus the prior year period.

Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the net impact of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and the impact of acquisition transaction costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, operating income margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 would have increased by 3.8%, or 3.9% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period. This increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by an increase in gross margin and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue, versus the prior year period.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Current report
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $23.3 million compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $50.8 million. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by $0.2 million of foreign currency. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 included a $1.5 million net impact from restructuring charges. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 included a $2.0 million net impact from restructuring charges and a $4.3 million impact from acquisition transaction costs.
Current report
Earnings per fully diluted share (“EPS”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $0.29 compared to EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.65.

Current report
** N/A - There were no Incoming Clinical Subscribers in the prior year period since our acquisition of Sequence closed during the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Current report
The decrease in Subscription Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period was driven by both a decrease in Digital Subscription Revenues and a decrease in Workshops + Digital Subscription Revenues primarily due to a higher mix of subscribers within their initial, lower-priced, commitment periods and the continued mix shift from our Workshops + Digital business to our Digital business. Digital Subscription Revenues and Workshops + Digital Subscription Revenues were also negatively impacted by recruitment declines during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period. In addition, the lower number of Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 contributed to the decrease in Workshops + Digital Subscription Revenues in the quarter. The decrease in Subscription Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was partially offset by an increase in Clinical Subscription Revenues versus the prior year period, despite the recruitment challenges in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 arising from the increasingly competitive environment.
Current report
The decrease in Total Paid Weeks for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period was driven primarily by non-Clinical recruitment declines during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period and the lower number of Incoming Subscribers at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

To supplement our consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Gross profit, gross margin, operating loss, operating loss margin and components thereof are discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, with respect to (i) the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to exclude (x) the impact of impairment charges for our franchise rights acquired related to our United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom units of account and (y) the net impact of charges associated with our previously disclosed 2023 restructuring plan (the “2023 plan”) and our previously disclosed 2022 restructuring plan (the “2022 plan”); and (ii) the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to exclude (x) the net impact of (a) charges associated with the 2023 plan, (b) charges associated with the 2022 plan or the reversal of certain of the charges associated with the 2022 plan, as applicable, (c) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2021 organizational restructuring plan (the “2021 plan”), and (d) the reversal of certain of the charges associated with our previously disclosed 2020 organizational restructuring plan (the “2020 plan”); and (y) the impact of certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence. We generally refer to such non-GAAP measures as excluding or adjusting for the impact of franchise rights acquired impairments, the net impact of restructuring charges, and the impact of acquisition transaction costs, as applicable. We also present within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the non-GAAP financial measures: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“EBITDAS”); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, franchise rights acquired and goodwill impairments, net restructuring charges, and certain non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Sequence (“Adjusted EBITDAS”); total debt less unamortized deferred financing costs, unamortized debt discount and cash on hand (i.e., net debt); and a net debt/Adjusted EBITDAS ratio. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—EBITDAS, Adjusted EBITDAS and Net Debt” for the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure in each case. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of our business and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of our business. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not…

In performing the impairment analysis for goodwill, the fair value for our 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. We have determined the appropriate reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment to be the Behavioral and Clinical business lines. Our “Behavioral” business line consists of our Workshops + Digital business and Digital business. The net book values of goodwill in the Behavioral and Clinical reporting units as of the March 30, 2024 balance sheet date were $152.5 million and $89.7 million, respectively.

Incoming Subscribers—“Subscribers” refer to Digital subscribers, Workshops + Digital subscribers and Clinical subscribers who participate in recurring bill programs in Company-owned operations. The “Incoming Subscribers” metric reports Subscribers in Company-owned operations at a given period start as follows: (i) “Incoming Digital Subscribers” is the total number of Digital subscribers; (ii) “Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers” is the total number of subscribers that have access to combined workshops and Digital offerings; (iii) “Incoming Clinical Subscribers” is the total number of Clinical subscribers; and (iv) “Incoming Subscribers” is the sum of Incoming Digital Subscribers, Incoming Workshops + Digital Subscribers and Incoming Clinical Subscribers, as applicable. Given we completed our acquisition of Sequence in April 2023 after the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we have incoming subscribers with respect to our Clinical business for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, but not for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Recruitment and retention are key drivers for this metric.

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $1.9 million, or 8.2%, versus the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in the base rate of our Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and excluding the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, increased to 7.78% per annum at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 from 7.20% per annum at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Including the impact of our interest rate swaps then in effect, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023, increased to 6.80% per annum at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 from 6.48% per annum at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon.

Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $4.5 million, or 18.7%, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in the base rate of our Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and excluding the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps, increased to 7.76% per annum for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 from 7.51% per annum for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Interest expense was impacted by the termination of our interest rate swaps on March 31, 2024. Including the impact of any applicable interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on our debt, based on interest incurred (which includes amortization of our deferred financing costs and debt discount) and our average borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023, increased to 7.76% per annum for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 from 6.63% per annum for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding our debt, including interest rates and payments thereon.

Previous wording
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was (19.0%) compared to (132.3%) for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The forecasted full-year tax expense, which included an increase in valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets, in relation to our forecasted full-year pretax loss (albeit minimal), drove an unusually high negative annual effective tax rate. Applying this negative annual effective tax rate to the pretax loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 resulted in an income tax expense of $55.4 million, which is mostly reflected in income taxes payable on our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows. Given the seasonal nature of our business, this income tax expense is expected to largely reverse in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024, when we expect to earn pretax income.
Current wording
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was (213.0%) compared to (1,740.0%) for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The effective tax rate for interim periods is determined using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The forecasted full-year tax expense, which included an increase in valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets, in relation to our forecasted full-year pretax loss (albeit minimal), drove the unusually high negative annual effective tax rate. Applying this negative annual effective tax rate to pretax income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 resulted in an income tax benefit. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by tax expense recorded for an out-of-period income tax adjustment and tax expense from a valuation allowance established to offset certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits. The adoption of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s global tax reform initiative, which introduces a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to large multinational corporations, did not have an impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $206.5 million, a decrease of $35.3 million, or 14.6%, versus the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, which positively impacted our revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 by $0.8 million, revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 would have decreased 14.9% versus the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by the decline in Other Revenues from the discontinuation of our consumer products business at the end of fiscal 2023. Lower Subscription Revenues primarily due to a higher mix of subscribers within their initial, lower-priced, commitment periods and the continued mix shift from our Workshops + Digital business to our Digital business also contributed to the decrease in revenues in the quarter. Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by non-Clinical recruitment declines during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period. Subscription Revenues included $18.8 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. See “—Operating Results” for additional details on revenues.

Additionally, Subscription Revenues were negatively impacted by non-Clinical recruitment declines during the first six months of fiscal 2024 versus the prior year period. Subscription Revenues included $38.5 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2024 versus $7.6 million of Clinical Subscription Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 as a result of our acquisition of Sequence closing during the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

This increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the costs associated with our new Clinical business that we acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to 28.6% from 24.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the net impact of restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and the impact of acquisition transaction costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 would have increased by 5.4%, or 5.5% on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period.

This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decline in employee compensation and related costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2024 decreased to 26.1% from 26.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2023. Excluding the net impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2024, the net impact of restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2023 and the impact of acquisition transaction costs in the first six months of fiscal 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2024 would have increased by 1.1%, both as adjusted and as adjusted on a constant currency basis, versus the prior year period.

We continue to proactively manage our liquidity so we can maintain flexibility to fund investments in our business, honor our long-term debt obligations, and respond to evolving business and consumer conditions. To increase our flexibility and reduce our cash interest payments, we refinanced our then-existing credit facilities and then-existing senior notes in April 2021. Additionally, we instituted a number of measures throughout our operations to mitigate expenses and reduce costs as well as ensure liquidity. For example, we instituted restructuring plans in recent fiscal years which have resulted in aggregate cash outlays of approximately $8.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and are expected to result in an additional $12.9 million for the remainder of fiscal 2024. For additional details, see Note 15 “Restructuring” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evolving nature, and uncertain economic impact, of the current demand environment may impact our liquidity going forward. To the extent that we do not successfully manage our costs, our liquidity and financial results, as well as our ability to fully access our Revolving Credit Facility, may be adversely affected. Pursuant to their respective terms, our interest rate swaps in effect as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 terminated on March 31, 2024. Given then-current market conditions, management determined to not enter into any new swap arrangement during such quarter. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to interest rates and, from time to time, may opportunistically hedge any interest rate exposure by entering into new swap arrangements.

To the extent that we do not successfully manage our costs, our liquidity and financial results, as well as our ability to fully access our Revolving Credit Facility, may be adversely affected. Pursuant to their respective terms, our interest rate swaps were terminated on March 31, 2024. Given subsequent market conditions, management determined to not enter into any new swap arrangement during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to interest rates and, from time to time, may opportunistically hedge any interest rate exposure by entering into new swap arrangements.

The following table sets forth a summary of the primary factors contributing to the $19.6 million increase in our working capital deficit, excluding cash and cash equivalents:
Previous wording
The decrease in operational liabilities and other, net of assets, which includes accrued salaries and wages, was driven primarily by a decrease in accrued liabilities due to the timing of our annual bonus payments. The increase in accrued interest was primarily due to the timing of payments. The decrease in prepaid income taxes and the increase in income taxes payable was primarily due to the outsized impact of a significant, largely non-cash, income tax expense resulting from the valuation allowance recorded to reflect the uncertainty of the realization of U.S. deferred tax assets. A decrease in income taxes payable is expected to largely reverse this impact in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended:
Previous wording
Cash flows used for operating activities of $36.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 reflected an increase of $9.3 million from $26.7 million of cash flows used for operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2023. This increase in cash flows used for operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss and a decrease in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase in non-cash add-back adjustments driven by the franchise rights acquired impairments, in the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Current wording
Cash flows used for operating activities of $38.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024 reflected an increase of $10.9 million from $27.1 million of cash flows used for operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2023. This increase in cash flows used for operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss, partially offset by an increase in non-cash add-back adjustments driven by the franchise rights acquired impairments, in the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Previous wording
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $4.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $5.5 million as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in capitalized software and website development expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Current wording
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $10.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $47.9 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and a decrease in capitalized software and website development expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Previous wording
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $0.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards in the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Current wording
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $17.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, an increase of $14.8 million as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash paid for acquisitions in the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to the prior year period.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our consolidated effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance noted above. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by tax expense from income earned in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by a tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).

Interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased $6.4 million, or 13.6%, versus the first six months of fiscal 2023. The increase in interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in the base rate of our Term Loan Facility (as defined below).
