Member recruitment trends improved throughout the second quarter as we saw good response to our spring campaigns. End of period subscribers increased 1.5% year-over-year to 4.6 million – our highest level ever for a second quarter. We are focused on building momentum and look forward to launching our new program innovation later this year, which we believe will accelerate subscriber growth in 2020. We are still early in our journey as a global holistic wellness company with the best-in-class weight management program, and we see tremendous opportunities ahead to drive growth in 2020 as well as over the long-term.

Grossman noted Oprah’s efforts in the conference call saying:

I’m sure many of you saw the U.S. campaign with Oprah Winfrey surprising WW members with a video of FaceTime call to celebrate the success on WW. We mirror this approach in many of our international markets, including utilizing Alison Hammond in the UK and Motsi Mabuse in Germany. The surprise and delight these calls elicited has definitely resonated across media channels and social.
