Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Positive Adjusted EBITDA

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:

Net Cash Position and Free Cash Flow

Net Cash Position

We use net cash position, which is a non-GAAP liquidity measure, to supplement our liquidity as presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that net cash position is useful in viewing our liquidity, 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 liquidity. Net cash position is not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and, as calculated may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of liquidity for other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

The table below presents our net cash position, which is our cash and cash equivalents less the debt on our balance sheet for the periods indicated:

Free Cash Flow

We use free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP liquidity measure, to supplement our cash provided by (used in) operating activities as presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that free cash flow is useful in evaluating our liquidity, 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 liquidity. Free cash flow is not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and, as calculated may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of liquidity for other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

The table below presents our free cash flow, which is our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property and equipment for the periods indicated:

Pivot Restructuring

On September 30, 2024, the Company announced the Pivot which will convert the Company's MLM model to a single level affiliate model and will reduce the employee headcount by approximately 170 employees (33% of the Company's workforce on that date) in the fourth quarter of 2024. The actions associated with the Pivot are expected to result in approximately $18.4 million in costs, with approximately $9.2 million recorded in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2024 with approximately $9.2 million expected to be recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2024.
