Beachbody (BODi) Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenues in-line with the mid-point of Guidance
 Gross Margin of 67%-up 880bps over prior year
 Net Loss in-line with Guidance
 Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Positive Adjusted EBITDA

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Beachbody Company, Inc. (NYSE: BODi) ("BODi" or the "Company"), a leading fitness and nutrition company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Carl Daikeler, BODi's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Our third quarter results demonstrated the continued successful execution of the first phase of our turnaround plan, with significant improvements in adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow generation. As we enter the next phase of our transformation, we are evolving our distribution model to a modern affiliate network that will broaden our market opportunities and further optimize our cost structure."

"On September 30, 2024, we announced a major change in our business model from a multi-level marketing ("MLM") to a single-level affiliate network. This pivot marks a strategic shift that will fundamentally transform our company and positions us well for long-term profitable growth. This change of our distribution strategy, combined with the expansion of our direct-to-consumer and partnership channels, represents a pivotal moment that will remove legacy barriers associated with the former MLM structure and allow us to fully capitalize on the significant market opportunity in health, nutrition, and wellness."

"We're already seeing a strong number of signups from former partners in our network to our new single level affiliate program since our November 1st launch, and with upcoming initiatives like our Belle Vitale program and expanded sales channels, we're well-positioned to help people realize their health and fitness objectives."

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure, to supplement our results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance, as it is similar to measures reported by our public competitors and is regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, amortization of content assets, interest expense, income tax provision, equity-based compensation, restructuring costs, and other items that are not normal, recurring, operating expenses necessary to operate the Company's business as described in the reconciliation below.

We include this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by management to evaluate BODi's core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-cash (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization and equity-based compensation) or are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of restructuring costs, interest income and expense).

The table below presents our Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to our net loss, the closest GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:

1 Represents the loss related to the $1.0 million, $5.5 million and $4.0 million partial debt prepayments that the Company made on January 9, 2024, February 29, 2024 and April 5, 2024, respectively, and the $15.0 million partial debt prepayment that the Company made on July 24, 2023.
2 Includes accelerated depreciation expense of $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to certain long-lived assets that due to the Company's announcement on September 30, 2024 that it was transitioning its network business from a Multi-Level marketing ("MLM") model to a single level affiliate model (the "Pivot") will not be used by the Company after December 31, 2024.
3 Includes benefits due to the modification of stock awards of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately zero and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
4 The non-cash charge for employee incentives which were expected to be settled in equity was recorded and included in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reclassified the non-cash charge from employee incentives expected to be settled in equity to equity-based compensation because we settled certain employee incentives with restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards during the period.
5 Includes (a) restructuring expense and personnel costs associated with the Pivot of $5.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and (b) adjustments recorded to nutrition and other inventory of $0.2 million due to the Pivot and adjustments recorded to connected fitness inventory of $1.2 million due to the decision to cease the sale of connected fitness inventory after December 31, 2024, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
6 Includes restructuring expense and personnel costs associated with key initiatives of zero and $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and restructuring expense and personnel costs of $1.3 million and $7.2 million associated with executing our key growth priorities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively
7 Primarily includes interest income.

Net Cash Position and Free Cash Flow

N et Cash Position

We use net cash position, which is a non-GAAP liquidity measure, to supplement our liquidity as presented in accordance with GAAP.

Total Restructuring Costs

(1) Termination and retention benefits which are included in restructuring expense in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of approximately $5.1 million were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company expects to record an additional $1.1 million in restructuring expense in the three months ended December 31, 2024.

(2) Due to the Pivot, certain long-lived assets with a net book value of approximately $12.7 million will not be used by the Company after December 31, 2024. The Company performed an impairment review for its long-lived assets, including the long-lived assets that will not be used after December 31, 2024. The Company performed a test of recoverability and concluded that the carrying value of its long-lived assets, which are all in one asset group, were recoverable. The Company decreased the average remaining useful lives for the long-lived assets that were impacted by the Pivot from 25 months prior to the Pivot to 3 months after the Pivot. This resulted in accelerated depreciation expense of $2.9 million that was recorded in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $8.1 million which is expected to be recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2024.

(3) Consists of (a) inventory adjustments recorded associated with the decision by management to no longer sell connected fitness inventory after December 31, 2024, which was recorded in cost of revenue-connected fitness ($1.2 million) and (b) inventory adjustments for nutrition and other inventory impacted by the Pivot which was recorded in cost of revenue-nutrition and other ($0.2 million) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(4) Modification of stock awards for employees who were impacted by the Pivot which includes accelerating the vesting of any options or RSU's that would have vested within six months of the employees termination date, and all vested options will be available for exercise for a total of six months after the employees termination date (that is, three month in addition to the standard three months per original agreement), which resulted in a decrease to equity based compensation expense of $0.3 million in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
