Exhibit 99.1
May 5, 2023
Fellow Shareholders:
In the first quarter Fubo exceeded guidance, posting 22% year-over-year growth in subscribers and revenue growth of 34% for North America (NA). The quarter also marked a substantial year-over-year improvement in our cash usage, as we continue to balance our focus on growth with an increased emphasis on unit economics, cost controls and profitability. And, we further strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity position, ending the quarter with $364.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. We are confident that our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operating plan until we achieve positive cash flow in 2025. Accordingly, we have no plans to utilize the at-the-market (ATM) program based on our current outlook.
Q1 2023 Highlights1:
| ● | Meaningfully exceeded the midpoint of our Q1 NA subscriber guidance of 1.150 million and revenue guidance of $297.5 million by 135K subs and $19 million, respectively. |
| ● | Successfully expanded NA ARPU by 8% year-over-year to $76.79. |
| ● | Captured record 13 million viewership hours from 100+ FAST channels, which represent an important driver of continued margin expansion. |
| ● | Posted positive Gross Profit and a 1,075 bps year-over-year improvement in Gross Margin. |
| ● | Achieved year-over-year improvement in Net Loss of $45 million and a $42 million improvement in net cash used in operating activities. |
| ● | Made considerable progress toward our goal of becoming cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA) positive in 2025, with a Q1 AEBITDA improvement of $36 million and a Q1 Free Cash Flow improvement of $40 million, compared to Q1 of 2022. |
Consumers are choosing Fubo in greater numbers, both with their wallets and with their time and attention. Our growing market share, coupled with the over 100 hours per month our users spend on our platform on average, support why Fubo ranks #1 in Customer Satisfaction among Live TV Streaming Providers by J.D. Power.
In March, we rebranded the company from FuboTV to Fubo to reflect the breadth of our offering. We kicked off the rebrand with a national multi-platform advertising campaign co-produced by our partner Ryan Reynolds and starring 15-time NBA All-Star, NBA Champion and Hall of Famer, Kevin Garnett, along with veteran NFL quarterback, Mark Sanchez.

Q1 Performance
Fubo posted Q1 North American subscription revenue growth of 37% year-over-year, driven by both expansion in ARPU, primarily due to recent price increases and the addition of RSNs, as well as ongoing strong subscriber growth. Our subscriber growth came in ahead of guidance and was accompanied by lower-than-expected churn, which we believe reaffirms the pricing power and strong appeal of our sports-first offering. While North American advertising revenue was relatively flat, we expect an acceleration in the second quarter. Notably, we achieved this growth efficiently, with total sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue declining from ~18% to ~13%.
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.

Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter was $83.4 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.37. This compares favorably to a loss of $0.81 in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EPS in the first quarter of 2023 was a loss of $0.27, an improvement compared to an adjusted EPS loss of 0.62 in 1Q22. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt discount and other non-cash items.
The success of our ongoing efforts to identify efficiencies and maximize leverage across each operating expense category led to year-over-year improvements in both cash usage and AEBITDA Margin.
We closed the quarter with $364.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. During the quarter, we raised $117.2 million in net proceeds from our at-the-market (ATM) program, $106.1 million of which settled in Q1 and the remainder settled in Q2. We remain highly disciplined in the management of our capital structure.
Q1 2023 Operational Highlights
North America Ad Sales
Fubo’s ongoing strategic initiatives focused on increasing monetization in our North American ad business delivered ad revenue of $22.5 million in the quarter. This was flat year-over-year, which we believe reflects the resilience of our ad offering in the face of continued pressures on the advertising market.
In 2023, we are more focused than ever on maximizing our highly sought-after audience and our premium sports-first content to accelerate our direct sales business alongside our successful programmatic business.
North America Content
We continue to gain greater leverage over our subscriber related expenses (SRE), which decreased from 101% to 93% of revenue in Q1 versus the same prior year period. We expect this year-over-year trend to continue as we work towards meaningfully growing subscribers, optimizing our pricing and further improving our mix of premium plans.
In February, we officially launched the Bally Sports regional sports networks (RSNs) across the country. Fubo is now the home of local teams in every sport, with nearly 100% of our U.S. subscribers receiving RSN coverage. Additionally, with the launch of MLB.TV on Fubo, we now offer the most comprehensive professional baseball coverage of any streaming platform. Fubo is also the only streaming platform to offer all four major sports league channels (NFL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV and NHL Network), along with all of their premium add-ons. These offerings, in aggregate, support Fubo’s position as the leading streaming platform for fans looking to engage with their favorite sports leagues.
Product Roadmap
Fubo’s proprietary tech stack has enabled us to continuously evolve and improve the live TV streaming experience. We were the first virtual MVPD to launch 4K streaming (2018) and MultiView (2020) - and now, with the acquisition of Edisn.ai, we are aiming to build the future of live TV with AI as its centerpiece. By leveraging Edisn’s real-time computer vision, in addition to all of the new capabilities from Large Language Models like GPT4, we intend to design a completely new way for our customers to interact with and watch Live TV.
First on our roadmap is Instant Highlights, offering users easy access to a game’s biggest moments - while that game is still ongoing. Instant Highlights is expected to be released as a beta product feature on several devices in the coming days and will launch on further platforms in the coming months.
Looking ahead, we aim to advance the DVR experience through additional AI product features envisioned to change how consumers interact with streaming video.
Guidance
North America Streaming
Q2 2023 guidance projects 1,120,000 to 1,140,000 subscribers, representing 19% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $292.5 to $297.5 million, representing 36% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
On a full-year basis we are raising our previous guidance. Our FY 2023 guidance now projects 1,550,000 to 1,570,000 subscribers, representing 8% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $1,235 to $1,265 million, representing 27% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
ROW Streaming
Q2 2023 guidance projects 377,500 to 382,500 subscribers, representing 10% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and revenue of $6.9-$7.9 million, representing 27% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
Our FY 2023 guidance projects 395,000 to 415,000 subscribers, representing a 4% year-over-year decline at the midpoint, and revenue of $28.6 to $32.6 million, representing 26% year-over-year growth at the midpoint and an increase to our previous guidance. Excluding the impact of the 2022 World Cup, we are forecasting at least mid-single-digit subscriber growth for 2023 at the midpoint of our guidance range.
Conclusion
We are pleased with our execution to start 2023 - beating our expectations across our KPIs. While the macro uncertainty continues, the second quarter has started well, with customer engagement ongoing and advertising accelerating sequentially. Our increased North America and Rest of World guidance for the year reflects our confidence in our continued leadership in streaming. In addition, we remain confident in our path to generate positive cash flow in 2025.
We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the quarters to come.
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. Prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.
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 is defined as 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 from 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)
Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is calculated using Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue on a GAAP basis. Previously, ARPU was calculated using Platform Bookings, which consisted of Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue, adjusted for deferred revenue.
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, income tax benefit, other expenses, and one-time non-cash expenses.
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 discount, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash items.
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 and capitalization of internal use software). We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, 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.
Revenue Growth Presented on a Constant Currency Basis
Revenue growth presented on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure defined as revenues for a given period restated at the comparative period’s foreign currency exchange rates measured against the comparative period’s revenues.
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, as well as revenue growth presented on a constant currency basis, 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. We have recast our previously disclosed non-GAAP financial measures to only reflect the results from continuing operations, thereby removing the discontinued operations of our former wagering reportable segment.
