Weight Watchers president and CEO said Linda Huett: “The first quarter saw continued strength in the US business, with double digit revenue growth. I am pleased with the company’s operating performance despite a decline in UK revenue as well as unfavourable currency exchange rates.”
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2006 earnings guidance of between $2.18 and $2.28 per fully diluted share.
