Fubo Closed Q3 2024 With 21% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth and 1.613M Subscribers in North America

Company Achieved Year-over-Year Improvement of $110M in Net Loss and $99M in Adjusted EBITDA for the Trailing Twelve Months

FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a/ Fubo) FUBO, the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company, targeting positive Free Cash Flow in 2025, delivered continued top-line growth and bottom-line improvements, including year-over-year (YoY) improvements in Net Loss of $110.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA) of $98.8 million for the trailing twelve months (TTM).

Fubo exceeded revenue guidance in North America, ending the third quarter with $377 million total revenue, up 21% YoY. The Company achieved its third quarter subscriber goal, ending the period with 1.613 million subscribers, up 9% YoY. Fubo's average revenue per user (ARPU) expanded 2.5% YoY to $85.64.

In the Rest of World (ROW), the Company delivered $8.9 million total revenue, up 6.0% YoY, and 378,000 paid subscribers, down 8.1% YoY. ARPU reached $7.50, up 7.5% YoY. ROW includes the results of Molotov, the French live TV streaming service acquired by Fubo in December 2021.

Fubo states its key metrics on a YoY basis given the seasonality of sports content.

Net Loss from continuing operations in the third quarter was $54.7 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.17. This compares favorably to a Net Loss from continuing operations of $84.4 million, or an EPS loss of $0.29, in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EPS loss in the third quarter was $0.08, compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $0.22 in the third quarter of 2023.

In the third quarter, AEBITDA was -$27.6 million, a $33.8 million improvement when compared to the third quarter of 2023. This reduction was a result of Fubo's continued focus on efficient growth and cost control.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was $2.4 million, a $27.4 million improvement compared to the third quarter of 2023, and Free Cash Flow in the third quarter was -$1.1 million, an improvement of $31.3 million compared to third quarter of 2023. These improvements, as with Fubo's improvements in Net Loss and AEBITDA, were a result of operating leverage and continued efficiencies throughout the business.

Fubo ended the quarter with $152.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand.

"We continue to prioritize the delivery of a high-quality, innovative and frictionless experience for our users that includes personalization across content and price.

We continue our fight to ensure American consumers have the streaming experience they deserve."

"In addition, we are gratified by recent wins in our ongoing fight for a fair and competitive marketplace, including the granting of a preliminary injunction against the proposed sports streaming joint venture. The streaming industry remains under constant disruption which Fubo sees as an opportunity to build a distinctive sports entertainment streaming platform with consumer needs at its heart."

Basis of Presentation – Continuing Operations

In connection with the dissolution of Fubo Gaming, Inc. and termination of Fubo Sportsbook, the assets and liabilities and the operations of our former wagering reportable segment are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. With respect to our continuing operations, we operate as a single reportable segment. Financial information presented in this release reflects Fubo's results on a continuing operations basis, which excludes our former wagering reportable segment.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Measures

Paid Subscribers

We believe the number of paid subscribers is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. Paid subscribers ("subscribers") are total subscribers that have completed registration with Fubo, have activated a payment method (only reflects one paying user per plan), from which Fubo has collected payment in the month ending the relevant period. Users who are on a free (trial) period are not included in this metric.

Average Revenue per User (ARPU)

We believe ARPU provides useful information for investors to gauge the revenue generated per subscriber on a monthly basis. ARPU, with respect to a given period, is defined as total Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue recognized in such period, divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period, divided by the number of months in such period. Advertising revenue, like Subscription revenue, is primarily driven by the number of subscribers to our platform and per-subscriber viewership such as the type of, and duration of, content watched on platform. We believe ARPU is an important metric for both management and investors to evaluate the Company's core operating performance and measure our subscriber monetization, as well as evaluate unit economics, payback on subscriber acquisition cost and lifetime value per subscriber. In addition, we believe that presenting a geographic breakdown for North America ARPU and ROW ARPU allows for a more meaningful assessment of the business because of the significant differences in both Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue generated on a per subscriber basis in North America when compared to ROW due to our current subscription pricing models and advertising monetization in the two geographic regions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Loss from Continuing Operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, certain litigation expenses, income tax provision (benefit), other (income) expenses, and one-time non-cash expenses. Certain litigation expenses consist of legal expenses and related fees and costs for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of the ordinary course of business and do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance, based on the several considerations which we assess regularly, including: (1) the frequency of similar cases that have been brought to date, or are expected to be brought in the future; (2) matter-specific facts and circumstances, such as the unique nature or complexity of the case and/or remedy(ies) sought, including the size of any monetary damages sought; (3) the counterparty involved; and (4) the extent to which management considers these amounts for purposes of operating decision-making and in assessing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

Adjusted EPS (Earnings per Share)

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure defined as Adjusted Net Loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding.

Adjusted Net Loss

Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusting for discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrants, amortization of debt premium (discount), amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash items, and certain litigation expenses (as described further above, see "Adjusted EBITDA").

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash used in operating activities - continuing operations, reduced by capital expenditures (consisting of purchases of property and equipment), purchases of intangible assets and capitalization of internal use software. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available for operational expenses, investments in our business, strategic acquisitions, and for certain other activities such as repaying debt obligations and stock repurchases. Free Cash Flow is a key financial indicator used by management. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. The use of Free Cash Flow as an analytical tool has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Because of these limitations, Free Cash Flow should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain measures used in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these are useful financial measures for investors as they are supplemental measures used by management in evaluating our core operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. First, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Second, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information directly comparable to measures provided by other companies in our industry, as those other companies may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently.

The following tables include reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The tables also include reconciliations of GAAP Subscription revenue and GAAP Advertising revenue to North America ARPU and ROW ARPU, respectively, each of which is a key performance metric.
