Exhibit 99.1

 

 

March 1, 2024

 

Fellow Shareholders:

 

We continue to execute on our long-term strategy to provide an aggregated and curated sports-centric entertainment offering to our customers. We believe that a sports-first, live streaming experience should benefit all market participants, and we strive to be champions of the consumer on this front.

 

Our mission has always been to serve the consumer by aggregating the best in TV, including premium sports, news and entertainment content, through a single app with must-have features. And since our founding in 2015, our subscriber base has steadily grown - a testament to the high-value that consumers place on our compelling and technologically innovative content offering. Our performance in Q4 and FY 2023 reaffirms our belief in Fubo’s value proposition and the unparalleled streaming experience that we aim to bring to consumers.

 

The fourth quarter capped another great year for Fubo, as we again exceeded guidance across key financial and operational metrics. In Q4, Fubo posted 12% year-over-year growth in subscribers and 29% year-over-year revenue growth in North America (NA), along with strong results across several key performance metrics, including an all-time high $86.65 average revenue per user (ARPU). The quarter also marked a healthy year-over-year improvement in profitability and cash usage, reflecting the success of our continuing initiatives focused on increasing efficiency across our operations.

 

We enter 2024 with considerable optimism, strong momentum, and with meaningful improvements across just about every facet of our business. We expect both top-line growth across revenue and subscribers as well as further leverage in reducing our expenses. We also plan to continue strategically investing in our business, including expanding our content offering, furthering the use of technology (including AI), and in other areas that increase monetization, such as advertising. We have also recently taken meaningful steps in response to actions by competitors that we believe are harmful to Fubo, the industry as a whole, and most importantly, to consumers.

Q4 2023 Highlights1:

 

Posted NA subscribers of 1.618 million, an all-time high and ahead of the midpoint of our Q4 NA subscriber guidance of 1.592 million.
Grew NA Revenue to $402 million, representing a 29% increase over the prior year period and surpassing the midpoint of our guidance of $387.5 million.

 

  NA Subscription revenue growth of 30% year-over-year.
  NA Advertising revenue growth of 15% year-over-year.

 

Gross Margin of 10% representing an 888 bps year-over-year improvement.
Expanded NA ARPU by 15% year-over-year to $86.65, representing an all-time high.
Drove a 662 bps reduction in Subscriber-related expenses (SRE) as a percentage of revenue to 87%, reflecting significant progress in optimizing content costs.
Achieved year-over-year improvement in Net Loss of $25 million and a $19 million improvement in net cash used in operating activities.
Marked progress towards our goal of positive cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA) in 2025, with a Q4 AEBITDA improvement of $25 million and a Q4 Free Cash Flow improvement of $15 million, compared to Q4 2022.

 

Note: Except as otherwise indicated, financial information presented and discussed in this letter reflects Fubo’s results on a continuing operations basis, which excludes our former wagering reportable segment. See “Basis of Presentation – Continuing Operations” below for further detail.

Net Loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was $71 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.24. This compares favorably to a Net Loss from continuing operations of $95.9 million, or an EPS loss of $0.48 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2023 improved to a loss of $0.17, compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $0.39 in Q4 2022. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt discount and other non-cash items.

 

In Q4 2023 we achieved a $15 million improvement in Free Cash Flow and a $25 million improvement in AEBITDA, when compared to Q4 2022. These improvements were a result of our ongoing efforts to drive operating leverage across the business, and represent the 4th consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvements in these metrics.

 

We maintained a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity position, ending the quarter with $251 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our current operating plan as we progress towards our stated profitability goals.

Q4 2023 Operational Highlights

 

North America Ad Sales

 

Fubo delivered North America ad revenue of $38.6 million in the quarter, an increase of 15% year-over-year. 2023 FY ad revenues were $114 million for a year-over-year increase of 14%. This performance reflects the continued positive impact of our improved go-to market strategies to better leverage our premium sports-first content and our highly sought-after audience with top agency holding companies. This is especially true around key tentpoles and seasonal events that typically drive higher viewer engagement and premium CPMs.

 

We ended the year with 158 FAST channels on the platform. FAST channels represent a key pillar of our strategy to provide a greater diversity of content to our users and, at the same time, expand advertising.

 

North America Content

 

We continue to gain added leverage over our subscriber related expenses (SRE), which decreased from 93% to 87% of revenue in Q4 versus the same period in the prior year. We expect this year-over-year trend to continue as we work to grow subscribers, optimize our pricing, manage our cost structure, and further improve our mix of premium plans.

Product Roadmap

 

In 2023, Fubo made significant progress on the roll-out of our global Unified Platform (UP), with every application being re-built and re-designed to better leverage technology synergies across the globe. This new technical architecture is already allowing us to rapidly iterate our product experience while also laying the foundation for additional platform level enhancements. We expect to deliver an increasingly personalized Fubo experience, including incorporating various AI features. We will also continue to focus on building our technology advantage to create must-have product features designed with the consumer top of mind across the entire demand curve at a range of price points.

 

Guidance

 

North America Streaming

 

Our FY 2024 subscriber guidance projects 1,665,000 to 1,685,000 subscribers, representing 4% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. This reflects conservatism in our outlook, and in particular, our exposure to potential industry volatility, and our intention to maintain discipline in subscriber acquisition costs relative to monetization.

 

Our FY 2024 revenue guidance projects $1,505 to $1,525 million, representing 13% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Our projection of revenue growth meaningfully outpacing subscriber growth reflects our continued expectation of ARPU expansion as the result of improved unit economics and margin gains.

 

Our 1Q 2024 subscriber guidance projects 1,415,000 to 1,435,000 subscribers, representing 11% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Our 1Q 2024 revenue guidance projects $365 to $375 million, representing 17% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

 

Rest of World

 

Our FY 2024 subscriber guidance projects 390,000 to 410,000 subscribers, representing a -2% year-over-year decline at the midpoint. Our FY 2024 revenue guidance projects $31 to $35 million, representing 2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

 

Our 1Q 2024 subscriber guidance projects 380,000 to 385,000 subscribers, representing 1% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Our 1Q 2024 revenue guidance projects $6.6 to $8.6 million, representing a -2% year-over-year decline at the midpoint.

 

Conclusion

 

As we enter 2024, we remain focused on continuing to provide consumers a differentiated experience, while also balancing profitability targets and growth. We believe that our balance sheet, which includes $251 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, provides us with liquidity to both continue to strategically support the business and reach positive cash flow in 2025. Our company has never been more aligned in its vision and strategy, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead of us to deliver long-term value to our employees, partners, customers, and shareholders.

 

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

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 letter 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)

 

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

 

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.

 

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 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. 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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

FUBO’S NORTH AMERICAN BUSINESS CLOSED Q4 2023

WITH RECORD 1.618 MILLION PAID SUBSCRIBERS, 29% YEAR-OVER-YEAR REVENUE GROWTH; EXCEEDED GUIDANCE ACROSS KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS

 

NEW YORK – MARCH 1, 2024 – FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a/ Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company exceeded guidance across key financial and operating metrics in North America, posting double digit year-over-year (YoY) revenue and subscriber growth during the fourth quarter. Fubo ended the quarter with 1.618 million paid subscribers, up 12% YoY, and $402 million in total revenue, up 29% YoY. Ad revenue in the quarter also increased double digits, closing at $38.6 million, up 15% YoY. Furthermore, ad revenue grew 14% for the full year 2023, totaling $114 million, despite an overall challenged ad market in 2023. Additionally, Fubo achieved an all-time high $86.65 average revenue per user (ARPU), up 15% YoY, and 10% gross margin, representing an 888 basis points (bps) YoY improvement.

 

In the Rest of World (ROW), Fubo delivered $8.4 million total revenue, up 18% year-over-year, and 406,000 paid subscribers, down 3% year-over-year, during the quarter. ARPU was $6.81, up 12% YoY. ROW includes the results of Molotov, the French live TV streaming service acquired by Fubo in December 2021.

 

During the quarter, Fubo achieved YoY improvement in net loss of $25 million and a $19 million improvement in net cash used in operating activities. Fubo also achieved a $15 million improvement in Free Cash Flow and a $25 million improvement in Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA), when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. These improvements were a result of the Company’s ongoing efforts to drive operating leverage across the business, and represent the fourth consecutive quarter of YoY improvements in these metrics.

 

Fubo continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and healthy liquidity position, ending the quarter with $251 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Fubo believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its current operating plan and the momentum necessary to reach its 2025 positive cash flow goal.

 

 
 

 

Guidance

 

North America

 

For the first quarter 2024, Fubo is forecasting 1.415 million-1.435 million paid subscribers, representing 11% YoY growth at the midpoint, and $365 million-$375 million total revenue, representing 17% YoY growth at the midpoint.

 

For the full year 2024, Fubo is guiding to 1.665 million-1.685 million paid subscribers, representing 4% YoY growth at the midpoint, and $1.505 billion-$1.525 billion total revenue, representing 13% YoY growth at the midpoint.

 

Fubo’s projection of revenue growth outpacing subscriber growth reflects the Company’s continued expectation of ARPU expansion as the result of improved unit economics and margin gains. Subscriber growth reflects conservatism in the Company’s outlook and, in particular, exposure to potential industry volatility, as well as Fubo’s intention to maintain discipline in subscriber acquisition costs relative to monetization.

 

ROW

 

For the first quarter 2024, the Company is forecasting 380,000-385,000 paid subscribers, representing 1% YoY growth at the midpoint, and $6.6 million-$8.6 million total revenue, representing a -2% YoY decline at the midpoint.

 

For the full year 2024, Fubo is guiding to 390,000-410,000 paid subscribers, representing a -2% YoY decline at the midpoint, and $31 million-$35 million total revenue, representing 2% YoY growth at the midpoint.

 

Complete fourth quarter and full year 2023 results are detailed in Fubo’s shareholder letter available on the company’s IR site.

 

“The fourth quarter capped a great year for Fubo, as we again exceeded guidance across key financial and operational metrics,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, Fubo. “Our strong results in North America included 12% year-over-year growth in subscribers, 29% year-over-year revenue growth and a record $86.65 average revenue per user (ARPU). The quarter also marked a healthy year-over-year improvement in profitability and cash usage, reflecting the success of our continuing initiatives focused on adding efficiency across our operations. We remain confident in achieving our 2025 positive cash flow goal.”

 

 
 

 

Gandler continued: “The results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 demonstrate that Fubo continues to execute on our long-term strategy and that we are well positioned to capitalize on our aggregated and curated sports-centric entertainment offering, leveraging the evolving trends across the media and consumer landscape. These results are especially impressive given the years-long challenges Fubo has faced as a result of what we believe have been anticompetitive practices by The Walt Disney Company, FOX Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery. As evident in the antitrust lawsuit we filed against these parties last month, their proposed sports streaming joint venture is only the latest example of the pernicious practices they have inflicted to suppress our business and harm consumers. We are asking for an opportunity to compete fairly as a business, and to offer consumers a streaming option that gives them the channels they want, and at a fair price. Going forward, despite these challenges, consumers should still expect a compelling sports-centric entertainment offering, and investors should expect Fubo to continue to execute well against our stated business objectives.”

 

“Fubo enters 2024 with good momentum and with meaningful improvements across just about every facet of our business, reaffirming our confidence in our 2025 positive cash flow goal,” said Edgar Bronfman Jr., executive chairman, Fubo. “We expect both top-line growth across revenue and subscribers as well as further leverage in our expenses.

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)

 

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

 

 
 

 

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.

 

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 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.
