Net Loss and Earnings per Diluted Share of $10.6 million and $17.48

Adjusted EBITDA was a $2.9 million loss, a $2.8 million improvement versus second quarter of 2023

The Company expects to generate between $2.0 million and $2.5 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2024

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) ("TRNR" or the "Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2024.

The Company incurred a net loss of $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, or a loss of $17.48 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $13.6 million, or a loss of $40.78 per diluted share for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a $2.9 million loss for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter reflects $2.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Trent Ward, Co-Founder and CEO of TRNR, said: "We have made progress towards our highest priority of achieving run-rate adjusted EBITDA profitability, with an improvement of $0.6 million as compared to the first quarter. We believe that we will be able to achieve this milestone in the near-term, though we do not expect to be able to accomplish this until 2025 due to a slower ramp in revenue for CLMBR. We had previously hoped that we might be able to achieve this as early as the fourth quarter of this year."

"The second quarter was our first full quarter with CLMBR and we were able to more fully immerse ourselves in the business," Mr. Ward continued. "As a result of thorough reliability testing, we determined that the longevity of a few CLMBR components would benefit from being upgraded and we experienced delays in shipping product, and therefore generating revenue, to customers as the improved components were designed and produced. We have been very pleased with the durability and performance of the new components and have seen great results in the lab and in the field. The specifications of commercial users are more stringent than consumers and our partnership with WOODWAY has enabled us to ensure that CLMBR exceeds those expectations."

Pilots and Flagship Orders
During the quarter, the Company announced successful pilots with two major fitness center operators, which are both expected to lead to additional orders in the future. Crunch Fitness successfully completed a multi-month group fitness pilot in its West Hollywood location and purchased 13 CLMBRs. CLMBR has earned Approved Vendor Partner status from Crunch Fitness and was invited to exhibit at the Crunch Franchise Convention in July. Crunch Fitness is considering additional locations for future CLMBR group fitness pilots in advance of potentially rolling out across the Crunch Fitness network. Crunch Fitness is expected to have 500 locations by the end of 2024 and 600 locations by the end of 2025.

Gold's Gym SoCal successfully completed a multi-location CLMBR pilot and placed an order to install two CLMBRs in each of the group's 23 locations. It is expected that these installations will occur during the third quarter. Following that success, Gold's Gym purchased six CLMBRs to install in three of the brand's 58 locations in Texas. Gold's Gym has more than 600 locations and the Company is focused on further penetrating the Gold's Gym network.

International Opportunity
The Company has announced significant initial orders with distributors in Germany, the world's largest fitness market outside the United States, and in the Gulf-region, one of the world's fastest growing economic regions. The Company has shared previously that it expects to sell to at least ten international distributors or key accounts this year, and that the international sales opportunity is expected to be similar in size to the opportunity in the United States.

The Company expects to receive the required certifications to deliver to European countries in the third quarter and believes that achieving that certification will allow distributors to fulfill the demand indications that were received at IHRSA and FIBO, the two largest fitness equipment shows in the world, earlier this year. Europe has some of the largest fitness markets in the world after the United States and it is expected that there will be strong demand for CLMBRs.

Outlook
Based on deliveries in the quarter so far and the current order book, the Company expects to generate between $2.0 million and $2.5 million in revenue during the third quarter. The major driver of the range in expected revenue is whether orders to customers in Europe are delivered in the third quarter or fourth quarter as determined by the timing of receiving the required certifications.

Given the slower ramp for CLMBR after the February acquisition of the business, the Company does not expect to achieve its previous revenue and profitability guidance until 2025 and will provide updated guidance when the timing is more certain. Consequently, the earn-out that was agreed with the sellers is unlikely to be earned and the liability has been written down.

Nasdaq Compliance
As shared on August 12th, the Company won its appeal regarding deficiency with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule"), and the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has granted the Company's request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Stockholder's Equity for the period ended June 30 was reported as $0.4 million. The Company closed an equity offering of $4.0 million on July 2, which indicates that the Stockholder's Equity would have been in excess of the required $2.5 million on a pro forma basis. The Company expects to be in compliance with the Equity Rule when its third quarter earnings are reported in November, driven by expected further conversions of debt to equity. These conversions are in progress and are expected to be similar to the conversions that were agreed between the Company and its lenders in the second quarter.

In compliance with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD, we announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), press releases, company blog posts, public conference calls, and webcasts, as well as via our investor relations website. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references only.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

The Company's non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; loss on debt extinguishment; vendor settlements; transaction related expenses; and IPO readiness costs and expenses.

The Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

• Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired;

• Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and

• Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:

• Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for fixed assets and capitalized content, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect gains associated with debt extinguishments.

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect gains associated with vendor settlements.

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect IPO readiness costs and expenses that do not qualify as equity issuance costs.

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related expenses from CLMBR acquisition.

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non cash fair value gains (losses) on convertible notes, warrants and unrealized currency gains (losses).

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect expenses related to the Asset Purchase Agreement and potential acquisition;

Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
