Exhibit 99.1

 

 

August 4, 2023

 

Fellow Shareholders:

 

The momentum in our business continued in the second quarter, with Fubo posting results that exceeded guidance, including 23% year-over-year growth in subscribers and 41% year-over-year revenue growth in North America (NA). The results for the quarter also marked a healthy year-over-year improvement in cash usage, demonstrating our focus on unit economics, cost control and profitability while strategically supporting our growth initiatives. In addition, we maintained a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, ending the quarter with $299.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. We are confident that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operating plan and that the momentum in our business will continue as we raise our full year 2023 revenue and subscriber guidance in NA and make further progress towards our goal of achieving positive cash flow in 2025.

 

Q2 2023 Highlights1:

 

Posted Q2 NA subscribers of 1.167 million, meaningfully exceeding the midpoint of our Q2 NA subscriber guidance of 1.130 million, and revenue of $305 million, ahead of the midpoint of our guidance of $295 million.
Achieved a 1,380 bps year-over-year improvement in Gross Margin to 7%.
Expanded NA ARPU by 13% year-over-year to $81.62, an all-time record.
Made marked progress in optimizing our content costs as reflected in a 1,193 bps reduction in Subscriber-related expenses (SRE) as a percentage of revenue to 87%.
Achieved year-over-year improvement in Net Loss of $41 million and a $12 million improvement in net cash used in operating activities.
Continued to make considerable progress toward becoming cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA) positive in 2025, with a Q2 AEBITDA improvement of $40 million and a Q2 Free Cash Flow improvement of $9 million, in each case as compared to Q2 of 2022.

 

Q2 Performance

 

Fubo posted Q2 North America subscriber growth ahead of guidance, reaffirming the pricing power and strong appeal of our sports-first content offering. Notably, we achieved this growth efficiently, with total sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue declining year-over-year from ~13% to ~11%.

North America Subscription revenue growth of 45% year-over-year was driven by both expansion in ARPU, on the back of recent price increases, and the addition of regional sports networks (RSNs).

 

North America Advertising revenue grew 5% year-over-year, despite headwinds across ad budgets, highlighting both the appeal and resilience of our content and subscriber base for advertisers. We expect to see an acceleration in the back half of the year in connection with an anticipated recovery of ad budgets.

Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt discount and other non-cash items.

 

Our ongoing efforts to drive operating leverage across the business led to the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvements in both Free Cash Flow and AEBITDA of $9 million and $40 million, respectively.

 

We maintained a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity position, ending the quarter with $299.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. We remain confident we have sufficient liquidity to achieve our stated profitability goals.

Q2 2023 Operational Highlights

 

North America Ad Sales

 

Fubo delivered North America ad revenue of $22.8 million in the quarter, an increase of 5% year-over-year, reflecting the appeal of our highly sought-after audience and our premium sports-first content.

 

We believe Fubo is poised to continue to benefit from the ongoing market dynamics driving a decline in linear TV advertising alongside the growing appeal of connected TV (CTV). Accordingly, our focus has been on investing in our advertising team, technology and infrastructure in order to optimize our unique value proposition to advertisers. We are accelerating our direct sales business alongside our successful programmatic business and leveraging the Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) inventory to cater to ad categories that have both national and regional advertising needs.

 

North America Content

 

We continue to gain added leverage over our subscriber related expenses (SRE), which decreased from 99% to 87% of revenue in Q2 versus the same prior year period. We expect this year-over-year trend to continue as we work towards meaningfully growing subscribers, optimizing our pricing and further improving our mix of premium plans.

 

The launch of MLB.TV exceeded expectations and offers further support that fully integrated add-on products perform very well on the Fubo platform and drive ARPU expansion. On the back of the February launch of the Bally Sports RSNs across the country, Fubo is the only streaming platform carrying all four major sports league channels, along with all of their premium add-ons.

 

We also expanded our FAST channel offering and continue to see positive results from this initiative, including record hours watched, and ad revenue earned during the second quarter.

 

As part of our long-term partnership with Ryan Reynolds, we launched the Maximum Effort Channel at the end of the quarter. The channel is home to original content in addition to classic TV and movies distributed across Fubo and nearly a dozen streaming platforms. The network’s first original show, Bedtime Stories with Ryan, secured Autodesk as the Official Imagination Sponsor. The Maximum Effort Channel has introduced innovative sponsor opportunities, including whisper content breaks, enabling us to work creatively with ad partners.

 

The Maximum Effort Channel is an important component of our overall FAST channels strategy, which continues to gain momentum on our platform. With free ad-supported television networks like Maximum Effort Channel, we believe we can grow ad revenue and expand our entertainment programming with minimal incremental content costs.

 

Product Roadmap

 

We continue to focus on our proprietary tech stack to build the most intuitive and personalized TV experience for the consumer, while also driving a revenue fly-wheel for our business. Our goal remains to enhance the DVR experience by introducing AI product features designed to revolutionize how consumers engage with streaming video. Our recently launched Instant Highlights beta, which we tested during the NBA playoffs, is the first example of new Fubo products leveraging our AI technology. We are taking those learnings and applying them to a broader release planned for this fall for the football season.

In the coming weeks, we will begin the rollout of our global Unified Platform (UP) initiative. Under UP, every Fubo app has been re-designed and re-built to leverage technology synergies across our global company. We believe UP will provide a number of new critical capabilities that neither Fubo nor Molotov have today - which we expect will increase product velocity, innovation and cost savings.

 

Guidance

 

North America Streaming

 

We are raising our prior FY 2023 revenue and subscriber guidance.

 

Our FY 2023 guidance now projects 1,565,000 to 1,585,000 subscribers, representing 9% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $1,260 to $1,280 million, representing 29% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. This FY 2023 revenue guidance implies $648 million of revenue at the midpoint in the second half of the year, $10.4 million higher than as implied by our prior guidance.

 

Q3 2023 guidance projects 1,327,000 to 1,347,000 subscribers, representing 9% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $272.5 to $277.5 million, representing 25% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

 

ROW Streaming

 

Our FY 2023 guidance projects 380,000 to 400,000 subscribers, representing a 7% year-over-year decline at the midpoint, and revenue of $29.4 to $33.4 million, representing 29% year-over-year growth at the midpoint and an increase to our previous guidance. Note that our FY 2022 subscriber count was positively impacted by the 2022 World Cup.

 

Q3 2023 guidance projects 382,500 to 387,500 subscribers, representing 7% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $7.2 to $8.2 million, representing 34% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

 

Conclusion

 

We are encouraged by our execution in the second quarter, exceeding our forecasts across a number of KPIs, including revenue and subscriber growth, as well as seeing improvements across other key operational metrics such as ARPU, SRE and Gross Margin. While we have much work ahead of us, we are as excited and as confident as ever about the opportunities ahead to leverage our resources on the back of key strategic additions to our platform, including over 35 RSNs and over 125 FAST channels, as well as the Maximum Effort Channel. We are confident we are on the right path to achieve our profitability goals.

 

We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the quarters to come.

 

Sincerely,

 

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

Paid subscribers is defined as 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 from 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)

 

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is calculated using Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue on a GAAP basis. Previously, ARPU was calculated using Platform Bookings, which consisted of Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue, adjusted for deferred revenue.

 

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, 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 Common Shareholders, adjusting for discontinued operations, 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.

 

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 and capitalization of internal use software). We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, 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.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin (GAAP)

 

Gross Profit is defined as Revenue less Subscriber related expenses and Broadcasting and transmission. Gross Margin is defined as Gross Profit divided by Revenue. We believe these measures are useful because they represent key profitability metrics for our business and are used by management to evaluate the performance of our business, including measuring the cost to deliver our product to subscribers against revenue.

 

Revenue Growth Presented on a Constant Currency Basis

 

Revenue growth presented on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure defined as revenues for a given period restated at the comparative period’s foreign currency exchange rates measured against the comparative period’s revenues.

 

Subscriber Acquisition Cost

 

Subscriber Acquisition Cost (SAC) reflects total GAAP sales and marketing expenses less headcount related to sales and marketing spend for a given period divided by Gross Paid Subscriber Additions for the same period.

 

Reconciliation of Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain measures used in this letter, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow, as well as revenue growth presented on a constant currency basis, 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 letter to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We have recast our previously disclosed non-GAAP financial measures to only reflect the results from continuing operations, thereby removing the discontinued operations of our former wagering reportable segment.
