尊敬的股东们:

 

我们很高兴地报告,我们在第三季度取得了强劲的业绩,持续实现了营收和利润的增长。我们实现了北美营业收入增长21%,订阅用户增长9%,同比增长,并分别超过和达到了我们的目标。在第三季度,我们全球范围内的盈利指标也有所改善,净损失同比改善了2980万美元,调整后的EBITDA为3380万美元,经营活动产生的净现金为2740万美元,自由现金流为3130万美元。此外,过去十二个月,我们将这些指标同比分别提高了11010万美元,9880万美元,9560万美元和9610万美元,展示了我们在实现盈利增长道路上的进展。

 

我们持续将提供高质量、创新和无障碍体验的优先级放在我们的用户身上,其中包括跨内容和价格的个性化。在本季度,我们通过对产品和科技的投资来执行这一要求,并有信心利用这些投资为客户和股东创造价值。

 

我们致力于促进一个有利于消费者的竞争性流媒体环境,这促使我们对迪士尼、福克斯和华纳兄弟探索公司提起反垄断诉讼。我们很高兴法庭批准了初步禁令,暂时阻止了它们流媒体合作创业公司的推出。尽管法庭关于初步禁令的裁决并未具体涉及节目包装实践的合法性,但法庭指出“很难避免这样的结论,总的来看,这些做法对消费者是不利的。”

 

我们 很高兴得知美国司法部和纽约州检察长都在考虑提交友情协助意见书,支持Fubo在第二巡回法庭审理前的临时禁令上诉。我们的斗争是跨党派的,我们感谢国会多位成员、公共倡导团体、经销商(包括DIRECTV和dish network)以及节目制作人给予我们的支持。我们期待在2025年10月预定的反垄断诉讼审判中有机会证明我们的主张。

财务结果3Q24

 

在2024年第三季度,持续经营业务的净损失为5470万美元,导致每股收益(EPS)亏损0.17美元。这相比于2023年第三季度持续经营业务净损失为8440万美元,每股亏损0.29美元的情况更有利。到2024年第三季度,调整后的每股亏损为0.08美元,相比之下,2023年第三季度调整后的每股亏损为0.22美元。调整后的每股收益不包括股票补偿、无形资产摊销、债务摊销和债务折让(贴现)净额以及特定诉讼费用的影响。

 

在第三季度24调整后的EBITDA为-2760万美元,与第三季度23相比,改善了3380万美元,体现了我们对高效增长和成本控制的持续关注。

 

 

 

现金流和资本结构

 

3Q24的经营活动现金净额为240万美元,比3Q23提高了2740万美元,而3Q24的自由现金流为-110万美元,比3Q23提高了3130万美元。这些改善,以及我们在调整后EBITDA中的改善,都是业务中运营杠杆和各种效率提升的结果。

我们以334,092,630股普通股作为期末已发行并流通股份。

 

产品和科技

 

正如上季度我们所分享的,统一平台的推出以及Fubo免费版创建了更大的用户参与、沟通、留存和变现机会。在第三季度,我们通过免费版引入了升级销售能力,允许之前的付费订阅用户无缝重新激活他们的订阅。此外,我们部署了增强的商品展示能力,以更好地展示内容(比如我们在季度期间推出的欧元2024和美洲杯的精选播放列表)和升级销售机会(包括我们也在季度推出的无限DVR)。

 

在本季度,我们还在选定的Roku设备上测试推出了备受欢迎的Multiview功能的beta版。 Fubo是第一个在2020年推向市场的直播电视流媒体多视角体验的开创者。在所有版本中,Fubo的客户可以同时选择并流式传输最多四个他们喜欢的实时频道。

 

北美 广告

 

Fubo于北美地区广告营业收入达2690万美元。值得注意的是,我们2024-2025赛季的预付款比2023-2024赛季增加超过40%,创下公司历史新高。

 

2024年第3季,我们持续利用不断增长的连接电视(CTV)销售市场,通过新的专有广告格式,如《The Triple Play》,来进行推广。该模块使我们能够通过品牌视频内容和横幅广告针对受众受众,在主页的精选即时电视内容轮播中进行定位。沃尔玛,我们的启动赞助商,已成功为其《返校季》活动部署了新的格式。

 

北 美洲内容

 

我们持续执行我们的超级整合策略,旨在为消费者提供多样且灵活的订阅期权,在Fubo生态系统内。最近推出的独立订阅服务使用户可以在不购买主要Fubo vMVPD产品的情况下,获得领先的体育和娱乐节目,直播和VOD。除了这些订阅服务,我们还提供Fubo Free,这是一个基础的免费FASt频道层级,供以前的Fubo付费用户和免费试用订户使用,以及我们的标志性vMVPD产品。

 

在本季度,我们推出了独立的奥运专区,包括重点和回顾以及易于访问的特定活动节目,体现了我们在创新方面投资,展示了我们多样化和丰富的内容组合。这一倡议使45%活跃用户与奥运内容互动。广告参与度也很高,CTV测量平台EDO确定,在Fubo上的2024年夏季奥运观众与广告互动的机会比线性电视高出20%。

 

 

值得注意的是,我们拥有并经营的Fubo体育频道(O&O),作为2019年首批在市场上推出的FASt频道之一,于第3季度实现了盈利。我们策略的重要部分是该频道在Fubo平台之外的分发,增加观众参与度和广告营业收入。在第三季度,我们扩大了Fubo体育的分发范围,包括在加拿大亚马逊Prime Video。

 

我们持续发布额外的O&O FASt频道,覆盖多种类型,在Fubo和透过我们的分发合作伙伴。我们在第三季推出了BKFC TV,这是与合作的 Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship(BKFC),这是世界上成长最快的搏击运动推广活动,标志著BKFC TV首次在BKFC应用程式之外提供。

 

Fubo 自豪地保持著提供本地体育赛事的地位,与其他vMVPD相比,价格最为亲民。尽管区域型体育网络(RSN)市场最近发生了变故,但我们的重要本地体育覆盖范围基本保持不变,我们仍致力于提供本地体育粉丝他们所热爱的主队比赛。

北美成长与分配

 

Fubo最近被任命为The Athletic的首个官方直播电视串流合作伙伴,The Athletic是体育界一个重要品牌。The Athletic和Fubo计划共同在The Athletic平台上开发新的产品功能,旨在最终打造独特且市场领先的用户体验。这项为期多年的合作伙伴关系旨在整合内容和产品,目的是将观众吸引到两个平台。

结论

 

Fubo的2024年第三季度以持续增长的订阅用户和营业收入为突出特点,同时关键盈利指标的改善,这些都是我们对2025年盈利目标持续信心的重要指标。此外,我们对最近在公平竞争市场中取得的胜利感到满意。流媒体行业始终处于持续扰乱之中,富博视之为建立以消费者需求为核心的独特体育娱乐流媒体平台的机会。

 

我们期待在2025年实现盈利道路上继续分享我们的进展。

 

此致敬礼,
 

David Gandler, 联合创始人和首席执行官 Edgar Bronfman Jr.,执行主席

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)

 

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, certain litigation expenses, income tax provision (benefit), other (income) expenses, and one-time non-cash expenses. Certain litigation expenses consists of legal expenses and related fees for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of the ordinary course of business and do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance, based on the several considerations which we assess regularly, including: (1) the frequency of similar cases that have been brought to date, or are expected to be brought in the future; (2) matter-specific facts and circumstances, such as the unique nature or complexity of the case and/or remedy(ies) sought, including the size of any monetary damages sought; (3) the counterparty involved; and (4) the extent to which management considers these amounts for purposes of operating decision-making and in assessing operating performance.

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 premium (discount), amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash items, and certain litigation expenses (as described further above, see “–Adjusted EBITDA”).

 

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.
