Exhibit 99.1

 

 

August 10, 2021

 

Fellow Shareholders,

 

Our record second quarter reflects continued strong execution in support of our vision to define a new category of interactive sports and entertainment television. Within the quarter we made meaningful advancement towards our long-term growth and margin targets, while also capitalizing on the favorable trends we are seeing in the category.

 

In the quarter, we delivered triple-digit year-over-year growth in total paid subscribers (up 138% to 681,721), total revenue (up 196% to $130.9 million) and advertising revenue (up 281% to $16.5 million). Engagement reached record highs, with fuboTV customers streaming 245 million hours of content during the quarter, a 148% increase year-over-year.

 

We also made significant progress towards our profitability goals, driven by a 62% year-over-year increase in advertising Monthly Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and a 30% increase in total Monthly ARPU. This positions us well to continue making deliberate, strategic investments in team, technology and infrastructure to optimize our market position and grow share, while also driving margin expansion.

 

Our second quarter results showcase the continued momentum in our business, with consumers choosing fuboTV over more expensive legacy pay TV services due to our innovative product experience and customer-friendly approach at an affordable price. This shift, along with a heavy sports calendar, drove a healthy 91,291 net subscribers added in the quarter.

 

As we have consistently highlighted, it is our view that there will be a major shift back to aggregation and bundling as the proliferation of SVOD services becomes increasingly burdensome and costly for consumers. Moreover, we continue to believe that consumers will ultimately favor a more personalized and interactive premium viewing experience.

 

The broader industry has followed our lead on both fronts in recent weeks, repeatedly pointing to consumer fatigue as a consequence of actively managing numerous subscriptions, and with certain industry players also announcing plans to expand their existing portfolio of product offerings. We see both of these trends as continued validation of our unique model and our ability to offer a truly differentiated consumer experience in this category. We believe that the delivery of a unified, personalized and interactive streaming experience is the future of this space and the key to capturing market share. Our internally developed technology stack allows us to remain nimble and support continuous product development velocity to innovate against consumer preferences and pain points. Our product and technology-leading approach positions us well to win the so-called streaming wars by providing consumers easy access to premium content, favorite sports teams and live TV channels at a fair price.

In light of our strong execution in the quarter, and the strength of the macro tailwinds we are seeing, we are increasing our full year 2021 revenue guidance to $560-570 million, representing a 116% increase at the mid-point year-over-year, and our guidance on year-end subscribers to 910,000-920,000, representing a 67% increase at the mid-point compared to our subscribers at year-end 2020.

Earnings per share (EPS) in the second quarter of 2021 was a loss of $0.68, including $0.02 impact from expenses incurred for our wagering business, compared to a loss of $2.08 in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EPS in the second quarter of 2021 was a loss of $0.38, excluding the non-cash impact of stock based compensation, the re-measurement of warrant liabilities and the amortization of intangibles and debt discount. 2

 

As we continue to lay the foundation for future growth, our strategic investments in programming, team, technology and infrastructure have resulted in expected expense increases on an absolute dollar basis year-over-year. However, expenses continue to be significantly reduced in proportion to revenue, resulting in a material year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin which improved from negative -95.0% to -36.2% as we continuously improve our operating leverage and further advance on our path to profitability. 3

 

We ended the quarter with $412.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. This included the repayment in full of the $18.1 million senior secured loan with AMC Networks as part of our ongoing capital structure optimization.

 

Operating cash flow in the quarter was negative $33.6 million, improving $20.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, and inclusive of $4.3 million negative impact from payments associated with the build-up of our wagering infrastructure.

 

As of June 30, 2021 the Company had 140,920,362 common shares issued and outstanding.

 

Operational Highlights

 

The Company delivered record results during the second quarter of 2021, growing total revenue by 196%, increasing advertising revenue by 281% and delivering subscriber growth of 138%, each compared to the prior year period.

 

Net subscriber additions in the second quarter increased approximately 91,000, compared to a decline of approximately 1,000 in the second quarter of 2020. We have added approximately 396,000 net subscribers since the second quarter of 2020, resulting in subscriber growth of 138% year-over-year, compared to the 31% growth for the entire vMVPD market over the same period. 4 We drove this strong subscriber growth with efficient deployment of sales and marketing dollars, which came in at 16% of revenue in the quarter, down from 18% in the first quarter of 2021. We also saw churn improve by 203 basis points year-over-year.

In the second quarter of 2021, our users (paid and trial) streamed over 245 million hours, an increase of 148% year-over-year. Our monthly active users (MAUs) watched 134 hours per month on average, demonstrating strong engagement with our platform’s leading sports, news and entertainment content. Engagement was also driven by a heavier sports calendar compared to the first quarter, including our exclusive streams of the South American Qatar World Cup qualifying matches (CONMEBOL), and expanded smart TV distribution.

 

 

 

The second quarter was also record-breaking for our advertising business, representing the company’s strongest ad sales quarter in our history. Ad revenue reached $16.5 million and grew 281% year-over-year, accounting for 13% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 10% in the second quarter of 2020. Advertising ARPU was up 62% year-over-year to $8.70, and increased 22% sequentially.

 

This growth demonstrates the foundational strength of our advertising model, offering brands the engagement and premium live content of linear TV, augmented by the efficiencies and first-party addressable targeting capabilities of a connected TV (CTV) platform. In the second quarter, our recurring advertiser base of Fortune 500 companies and blue-chip national brands continued to rapidly expand, drawn to our platform’s differentiated and highly engaged premium audience: 94% of our content was viewed on a big-screen connected TV and 89% of viewing was for live content. We continue to grow our national ad sales team to address significant demand in the marketplace and offer advertisers optimal flexibility and ROI for their campaigns.

Alongside our record revenue growth in the quarter, we also reported continued margin expansion year-over-year, with an adjusted contribution margin of 8.3%, up 316 basis points from the second quarter of 2020. This growth was driven by ARPU expansion of both advertising and subscriptions, partly as a result of strong execution associated with upsells and packaging. This is evidenced by our Attach Rate of 2.3, up from 1.2 in the second quarter of 2020, and the 1.5 million attachments sold in the quarter.

 

Business Expansion

 

We were pleased with the performance of our exclusive CONMEBOL streams, which began in June and will continue through early 2022 in the run-up to the World Cup. This coveted piece of content features some of soccer’s most competitive teams (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) and biggest stars (Messi, Suarez, Neymar, etc). Alongside the matches, fuboTV produced nearly 20 hours of live shoulder programming in English and Spanish for our ad-supported linear channel Fubo Sports Network. The June match window proved very popular with our subscribers, driving a significant lift in viewership hours over three days. We expect that our full run of CONMEBOL will drive well over four million viewing hours.

 

 

Turning to the distribution side of our business, we brought fuboTV to an even greater number of consumers in the second quarter through our launch on LG Smart TVs, one of the leading smart TV platforms in the U.S. We are also pleased to announce that fuboTV has closed a partnership with Vizio to launch on their popular SmartCast platform in the coming weeks. These important partnerships offer consumers multiple options for accessing their favorite content on the big screen. This is particularly significant, as 94% of our subscribers enjoyed fuboTV on a connected or smart TV in the second quarter.

Ad Sales

 

The second quarter was the strongest advertising quarter in fuboTV’s history, in terms of both absolute revenue (up 281% year-over-year) as well as advertising ARPU (up 62% year-over-year). Advertising revenue accounted for 13% of total revenue in the quarter compared to 10% in the prior year period, providing a significant contribution to margin expansion. This ongoing momentum is driven by strong subscriber growth and enhanced monetization, as we continue to benefit from industry trends, specifically the rapid adoption of CTV devices by consumers, the migration of sports entertainment from linear to live TV streaming and the shift of linear ad dollars to CTV.

 

Earlier in the quarter, we announced the launch of our Branded Content studio, as well as our first-party data partnership with LiveRamp, enabling advertisers to bring together our ROI-driving addressable and programmatic capabilities with unique, custom branded experiences. We capitalized on the high demand for CTV in this year’s upfront, with buyers seeking to reach our valuable cord-cutting audience of premium paying subscribers that can’t be accessed via linear TV. These trends continue to accelerate: a report issued in June 2021 by GroupM’s Business Intelligence unit found that one in five of all TV ad dollars is now going to a CTV platform. fuboTV’s concentration of live sports content also drove outperformance on advertising in the quarter.

 

Wagering & Interactivity

 

fuboTV is focused on activating our vision of an interactive streaming platform that transcends the industry’s current vMVPD model. We are tracking well, and are on schedule to launch Fubo Sportsbook in the fourth quarter of this year. The launch of our own sportsbook is an important driver of this strategy as we aim to turn passive viewers into active participants and define a new category of interactive sports and entertainment television. While other industry players have recently moved to partner with gaming and media distribution companies - confirming that the television market is moving towards interactivity - we’ve stayed ahead of the curve. Fubo Sportsbook will represent a differentiated and industry-first integration of streaming and a sports wagering product and we continue to build our team of talent in support of this initiative.

 

We are building Fubo Sportsbook to be a holistic and hyper-personalized betting experience reflecting what the user is watching on fuboTV at that very moment. We’re excited to preview for the first time today how the Fubo Sportsbook app will immediately and in real time update with relevant bets based on what the user is watching - even as they change the channel to a new game. This invisible connection between streaming video and our mobile betting app is a feature we believe only fuboTV can bring to market. We expect to roll out continued product advancements to enhance the customer journey.

 

With our sportsbook, we are focused on becoming an emerging player across those states within which we will operate, and establishing and growing our market share in those regions over time. Our existing fuboTV business puts us at a distinct advantage here, as it allows us to leverage product integrations and marketing synergies that support our long-term gross margin targets in this segment.

In July, we announced a market access agreement for Pennsylvania through a partnership with The Cordish Companies - our fourth state following previous agreements for Iowa (via Casino Queen) as well as Indiana and New Jersey (via Caesars Entertainment Inc). These launches are subject to obtaining requisite regulatory approvals in each market.

 

Our launch of predictive, free-to-play games is also progressing well. This is a key component of our overall wagering strategy, as it represents a new potential customer on-ramp to our experience and also positions us to assess the propensity of our customers to engage in greater levels of interactivity on our platform. Free-to-play also importantly serves to train and educate our customers which we believe will ultimately reduce the customer learning curve and drive greater levels of adoption of our wagering offering.

We leveraged our exclusive CONMEBOL coverage to begin beta testing the free gaming experience integrated into our core video product. Additionally, we tested a new FanView feature, which allows for supplemental, user-initiated interactive content, like live game stats and scores, to sit next to and under a reduced-size video player. Our goals were to test free gaming with a cohort of users on select devices, gather data on usability and optimize ahead of launch.

 

As expected, gaming proved extremely popular across the subset of users with whom we conducted our test. We saw a nice lift in viewership, with subscribers who engaged in free gaming watching CONMEBOL content for significantly more time per user than those that did not play. We’re looking forward to bringing the interactive experience of free-to-play gaming and FanView to all fuboTV subscribers alongside multiple sports in the fall.

Guidance

 

We are very pleased with our performance in the first half of 2021 and believe that we are well positioned to continue to execute on our long-term revenue and margin goals, all while delivering a differentiated and world-class experience to the consumer.

 

Accordingly, we are increasing our full year 2021 revenue guidance to $560-570 million, representing a 116% increase at the mid-point compared to 2020, up from an increase of 101% in our prior guidance. Similarly, we are increasing our end-of-year subscribers guidance to 910,000-920,000, representing a 67% increase at the midpoint compared to 2020. This subscriber outlook implies full year 2021 net additions of at least 367,000, 58% higher than our full year 2020 net additions of 232,000.

 

8
 

 

Third quarter revenue is estimated to be between $140 million and $144 million, up 132% year-over-year at the midpoint. Third quarter end-of-period subscribers are estimated to be between 810,000 and 820,000, up 79% year-over-year at the midpoint.

 

 

 

The above guidance does not include any projected revenues from online sports wagering.

 

Conclusion

 

fuboTV delivered a strong second quarter in 2021 across a number of our key financial and operational metrics: subscribers, total revenue, advertising revenue and margin expansion. Engagement reached record highs as we added exclusive sports streaming rights with CONMEBOL and began beta testing predictive, free-to-play gaming integrated into our streaming platform ahead of our expected launch this fall. Our Fubo Sportsbook with real-money wagering remains on track for a fourth quarter launch as we intend to further combine interactivity with streaming video.

 

There is strong investor interest around fuboTV, and only eight months after our listing on the New York Stock Exchange, we were added to the Russell 2000® Index in June. This marks another important milestone for the company as we push forward on our goal to turn passive viewers into active participants and define a new category of interactive sports and entertainment television.

 

We look forward to keeping you updated on our remarkable progress.

 

Sincerely,

 

David Gandler, co-founder and CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr., executive chairman

Key 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. Total subscribers that have completed registration with fuboTV, have activated a payment method (only reflects one paying user per plan), from which fuboTV has collected payment from in the month ending the relevant period.

 

Attachments

 

Attachments are incremental add-ons sold on top of the base subscription.

 

Attach Rate

 

The Attach Rate represents the total number of Attachments at the end of the period divided by the number of Subscribers at the end of the period.

 

Monthly Active Users (MAUs)

 

Monthly Active Users (MAU) refers to the total count of Paid Subscribers that have consumed content for greater than 10 seconds in the 30-days preceding the period-end indicated.

 

Daily Active Users (DAUs)

 

Daily Active Users (DAU) refers to the total count of Paid Subscribers that have consumed content for greater than 10 seconds in a given day

 

Content Hours

 

We believe the number of Content Hours streamed on our platform is a relevant measure to gauge user engagement. Content Hours is defined as the sum of total hours of content watched on the fuboTV platform for a given period.

 

Monthly Content Hours Watched per MAU

 

Content Hours per MAU refers to the total hours of content viewed by MAUs in a given month divided by the MAU count in the period.

 

Daily Content Hours Watched per DAU (“Daily Engagement”)

 

Content Hours per DAU refers to the total hours of content viewed by DAUs in a given day, divided by the DAU count in the day.

 

Monthly Subscription Average Revenue per User (Monthly Sub ARPU)

 

Sub ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) is a fuboTV measure defined as total subscriber revenue collected in the period divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

 

Monthly Advertising Average Revenue per User (Monthly Ad ARPU)

 

Ad ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) is a fuboTV measure defined as total advertising revenue in the period divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

Monthly Average Revenue per User (Monthly ARPU)

 

We believe Monthly Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is a relevant measure to gauge the revenue received per subscriber on a monthly basis. ARPU is a fuboTV measure defined as total subscriber revenue collected in the period (subscriber and advertising revenues excluding other revenues) divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period divided by the number of months in the period.

 

Average Cost Per User (ACPU)

 

We believe Monthly Average Cost Per User (ACPU) is a relevant measure to gauge our variable expenses per subscriber. ACPU reflects variable COGS per user defined as subscriber related expenses less minimum guarantees expensed, payment processing for deferred revenue, In-App-Billing (IAB) fees for deferred revenue and other subscriber related expenses in a given period, divided by the average daily subscribers in the period, divided by the number of months in the period.

 

Adjusted Contribution Margin

 

We believe Adjusted Contribution Margin (ACM) is a relevant metric to gauge our per-subscriber profitability. ACM is a non-GAAP measure that measures variable costs against subscriber revenue. ACM is calculated by subtracting ACPU from ARPU.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Loss, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax benefit, other expenses, and one-time non-cash expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

 

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

 

Adjusted Net Loss

 

Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Loss Attributable to Controlling Interest, adjusting for stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrants, amortization of debt discount, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash items.

 

Adjusted EPS (Earnings per Share)

 

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

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain measures used in this letter, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, ARPU, Advertising ARPU, Adjusted Contribution Margin, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS 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.
