Exhibit 99.1

 

 

May 2, 2025

 

Fellow Shareholders:

 

Our first quarter 2025 performance built on our achievements in 2024 demonstrates the company’s resilience and focus amid market turbulence.

 

Fubo ended the first quarter with North America subscribers of 1.47 million and revenue of $407.9 million, exceeding and meeting our applicable guidance range, respectively. Furthermore, we delivered year-over-year improvements in Net income (loss) of $245 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $37 million, Net cash provided by operating activities of $228 million, and Free Cash Flow of $9 million.1 Once again, we improved each of these global profitability metrics by more than $100 million on a trailing twelve-month basis.

 

We continued to invest in infrastructure, technology, and product, with the goal of providing customers with a high-quality, seamless and differentiated experience. When consumers are looking for a service that includes sports, news, and entertainment, they are choosing among traditional Pay TV (cable and satellite), virtual MVPDs (including Fubo), or even aggregating a set of DTC streaming services. We believe that our content aggregation, innovative user experience, and rich sports-specific features provide an appealing solution, particularly for the ardent sports fan.

 

Additionally, as a demonstration of our continued commitment to serving our customers with compelling content at attractive price points, in the first quarter we decreased the price of our Latino product and introduced new baseball-specific bundles. Fubo aims to provide adaptable packages and programming choices at suitable prices for each customer.

 

In summary, we are pleased with our performance in the first quarter and remain focused on our goal of achieving profitability in 2025 for our global streaming business. We also remain excited about our agreement with The Walt Disney Company to combine Fubo with Hulu + Live TV, and its potential to increase competition in the Pay TV space. We continue to work through the regulatory process, and look forward to sharing more information when we are able.

 

 

1 Net income and Net cash provided by operating activities were positively impacted by $220 million associated with the gain on settlement of litigation, net.

 

   

 

 

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.

1Q25 Financial Results

 

Net income from continuing operations in 1Q25 was $188.5 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.55. This compares favorably to a Net loss from continuing operations of $56.3 million, or an EPS loss of $0.19, in 1Q24. Note that 1Q25 Net income and EPS were positively impacted by $220 million associated with the gain on settlement of litigation, net. Adjusted EPS loss in 1Q25 was $0.02, compared to an Adjusted EPS loss of $0.14 in 1Q24. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, gain on extinguishment of debt, amortization of debt premium, net, certain litigation and transaction expenses, and gain on settlement of litigation, net.

 

In 1Q25 Adjusted EBITDA was -$1.4 million, a $37.4 million improvement when compared to 1Q24, reflecting our continued focus on efficient growth, cost control, and our profitability objectives.

 

 

 

   

 

 

Cash Flow and Capital Structure

 

Net cash provided by operating activities in 1Q25 was $161.4 million, a $228.4 million increase compared to 1Q24, and Free Cash Flow in 1Q25 was -$62 million, an improvement of $9.3 million compared to 1Q24. The improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow were the result of operating leverage and various efficiencies throughout the business.

 

We ended the quarter with 341,539,797 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

North America Advertising

 

Fubo delivered North America ad revenue of $22.5 million for 1Q25, representing a 17.3% decline year-over-year. Note that this decline was primarily due to the drop of certain ad-insertable content. Excluding this impact, our underlying performance improved year-over-year.

 

North America Content

 

Underscoring our Super Aggregation strategy, we advanced on our goal to provide consumers with skinny bundles of sports programming. These include new content packaging options such as our Latino + Beisbol plan, which combines our popular Spanish-language plan with a local regional sports network (RSN) for baseball coverage. Fubo also provides customers across multiple markets the flexibility to subscribe to their RSN on a standalone basis, reflecting our commitment to providing consumers with choice and flexibility as part of our content strategy.

 

More recently, we renewed our exclusive multi-year rights agreement with the English Premier League, one of the world’s most popular sports leagues, in Canada. Fubo, Canada’s premier soccer streaming platform, has been the market’s exclusive distributor of EPL since the 2022/2023 season.

 

Product and Technology

 

Personalized game alerts and live game scores are the latest features in Fubo’s roadmap as we further optimize the sports streaming experience.

 

Fubo is the only vMVPD delivering personalized game alerts in real-time, based on past viewership and location. Key moments can include when a team has made a comeback and is within points of taking (or losing) the lead, or when a player reaches a milestone. Users can click into the game directly from the alert. These alerts are now live for NBA coverage, and we plan to roll this functionality out to other leagues.

 

   

 

 

Live game scores are available on the Fubo home page to instantly update users on the status of a game and make click-through to live seamless and can be easily turned on or off to avoid spoilers, further allowing users to personally customize their streaming experience within the Fubo app.

 

 

Guidance

 

North America

Our 2Q 2025 subscriber guidance projects 1,225,000 to 1,255,000 subscribers, representing a 14% year-over-year decline at the midpoint. Our 2Q 2025 revenue guidance projects $340 million to $350 million, representing 10% year-over-year decline at the midpoint. Note that this guidance includes the continued subscriber impact of our recent drop of TelevisaUnivision content, and the benefit of one-time sports events in 2Q24.

 

Rest of World

Our 2Q 2025 subscriber guidance projects 325,000 to 335,000 subscribers, representing a 17% year-over-year decline at the midpoint. Our 2Q 2025 revenue guidance projects $6.5 million to $7.5 million, representing a 15% year-over-year decline at the midpoint.

 

Conclusion

 

In the first quarter of 2025, we capitalized on our momentum from 2024, bringing us closer to our profitability goals. We remain focused on delivering an innovative streaming experience that also offers exceptional value and choice. We are excited about the opportunities ahead for Fubo, our customers, and our shareholders.

 

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)

 

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 income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, impairment of other assets, stock-based compensation, certain litigation and transaction expenses, other (income) expense, and income tax provision (benefit). Certain litigation expenses consist of legal expenses and related fees and costs 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. Certain transaction expenses consist of professional advisor costs related to the pending business combination with Hulu + Live TV.

 

   

 

 

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 income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusting for discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt premium, net, amortization of intangibles, gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on settlement of litigation, net, and certain litigation and transaction 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 provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations, reduced by capital expenditures (consisting of purchases of property and equipment), capitalization of internal use software, purchases of intangible assets and gain on settlement of litigation, net. 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 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.
