Exhibit 99.1
August 6, 2024
Fellow Shareholders:
We delivered excellent results in 2Q24. Compared to 2Q23, we grew North America revenue by 26% and subscribers by 24%, exceeding our forecasts. Globally, we successfully achieved meaningful top-line growth alongside continued progress towards our profitability goals and improvements in cash usage, with a year-over-year improvement in Net Loss of $28.4 million1, Adjusted EBITDA of $19.6 million, Net cash used in operating activities of $39.2 million and Free Cash Flow of $40.5 million. These results attest to our ongoing focus on operational excellence and efficiency. This furthermore represents the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in our global profitability metrics, and the corresponding incremental margin demonstrates the operating leverage in our business as we scale.
We remain focused on delighting our users with a seamless product that aggregates a portfolio of sports and entertainment programming at compelling price points. During the quarter we continued to make strategic investments in product and technology, which we see as key focus areas enhancing the user experience, increasing monetization and making great progress on our path to profitability.
In our last shareholder letter, we described our antitrust lawsuit, which we filed in response to anticompetitive practices by Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery harming Fubo, industry competition, and consumers.
We firmly believe in the lawsuit’s merits and appreciate public support from DIRECTV, Dish Network, Newsmax, the American Economic Liberties Project, Sports Fans Coalition, the Open Markets Institute and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Fubo continues to fight for consumer choice, fair pricing and innovative products, achievable only in a competitive streaming market.
1 Our consolidated Net Loss for 2Q24 was $25.7 million, which includes net income of $106 thousand from discontinued operations. Net Loss from continuing operations was $25.8 million.

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.

2Q24 Financial Results
Net Loss from continuing operations in 2Q24 was $25.8 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.08. This compares favorably to a Net Loss from continuing operations of $54.2 million, or an EPS loss of $0.19, in 2Q23. Adjusted EPS loss in 2Q24 was $0.04, compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $0.12 in 2Q23. Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, gain on extinguishment of debt and amortization of debt premium (discount), net, and certain litigation expenses.
In 2Q24 Adjusted EBITDA was -$11.0 million, a $19.6 million improvement when compared to 2Q23. This reduction was a result of our continued focus on efficient growth and cost control.
2 Given the many unknowns related to the potential launch of Venu Sports (“Venu”), the proposed sports streaming joint venture between the Walt Disney Company, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, including the outcome of our antitrust lawsuit and the Department of Justice’s reported investigation, our guidance and other statements in this letter with respect to Fubo’s financial condition and our anticipated financial performance in future periods do not reflect any potential impact of the launch to our business. See also “Risks Related to Venu Sports” below.

Cash Flow and Capital Structure
Net cash used in operating activities in 2Q24 was -$31.9 million, a $39.2 million improvement compared to 2Q23, and Free Cash Flow in 2Q24 was -$35.3 million, an improvement of $40.5 million compared to 2Q23. This improvement, as with our improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, was a result of operating leverage and various efficiencies throughout the business.
During 2Q24 we took steps to bolster our balance sheet and optimize our capital structure. We raised $36.9 million in net proceeds through our At-The-Market (ATM) program. In addition, we repurchased $46.9 million face value of our 2026 convertible notes at prices significantly below par value3. Since the fourth quarter of 2023, we have reduced our level of debt outstanding by $80.2 million while also eliminating the potential dilution associated with the repurchased convertible notes. Having done so evidences our continued commitment to judiciously reducing our leverage as well as improving the quality of our balance sheet. Indeed, we ended the quarter with $161.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand. Following the debt repurchase transactions described above, we now have no debt maturing in 2024 or 2025, $144.8 million maturing in 2026 and $177.5 million maturing in 2029.
We ended the quarter with 329,336,621 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Product and Technology
As we have discussed previously, the North American roll-out of our global Unified Platform allows us to rapidly iterate and introduce new product features to improve engagement and drive retention. For example, in 2Q24 we extended the reach of our AI-driven playlists offering, producing game summaries and highlights for select sports, allowing users to easily catch up on missed events. We continue to refine our recommendation engine and algorithms to personalize each user’s individual experience. Furthermore, we continually update the look, feel and polish of our applications on connected devices and Smart TVs to provide an increasingly intuitive user experience.
In addition, we continued to improve ARPU and Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q24 by focusing on monetization, including additional upsell pathways designed to allow users to seamlessly add additional content or features.
3 Note that of the $46.9 million face value that was repurchased, $27.1 million settled in 2Q24 and $19.9 million settled in 3Q24.

Finally, we announced in May the launch of the Fubo Free Tier, initially available only to former subscribers and non-converting free trial users. Our initial goal is to keep these users engaged with quality content between their primary sports seasons, allowing them to easily re-activate their subscription. Early results are encouraging, and we expect this initiative to result in improved retention and reactivation rates over time.
Fubo Free is the foundational layer of our Super Aggregation strategy, which aims to offer users premium content at different price points, all within the Fubo ecosystem. Our vision is to offer consumers a seamless way to access all of the content they love without requiring users to sign into different apps and stream from multiple interfaces.
North America Advertising
Fubo delivered North America ad revenue of $26.0 million, an increase of 14% year-over-year. This is a result of our ongoing efforts to increase visibility within agency holding companies through improved go-to-market strategies.
We launched our Upfront season with sponsorship opportunities leveraging our proprietary technology (The Marquee) and innovative new ad units (interactive, pause and enhanced banner ads). Fubo’s appeal to advertisers is a result of our highly engaged, affluent sports-focused audience that compares favorably with the traditional pay TV audience. We believe Fubo viewers hit the sweet spot for brands - they are younger than the traditional pay TV audience, yet older than the typical SVOD streaming demo and with more buying power. With Fubo, brands have the ability to engage with our viewers as they move through personal milestones, capitalizing on major life events.

Brands are also able to engage with consumers on Fubo that they can’t access through traditional linear TV. A recent study from iSpot.TV showed that 62% of ad impressions served on Fubo reach incremental households that are unreachable on linear TV (July 2023 - March 2024).
In summary, Fubo offers brands access to a crucial audience that can’t be matched by linear TV or streaming services.
North America Content
In the second quarter we extended our strong local sports coverage as the vMVPD with the leading baseball portfolio by adding YES Network and MASN at the beginning of baseball season. In addition, we ensured continuity of carriage of local San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies games through a direct relationship with Major League Baseball.
We continue to superserve all sports fans with an expanding portfolio of content - from the major sports leagues to niche favorites. During the quarter, and just in time for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup, we closed a multiyear partnership with Willow by Cricbuzz.
The increasing popularity of MMA and soccer, including the UEFA Euro Championship, further contributed to the growth of our owned-and-operated network, Fubo Sports, which was the number one FAST channel on our platform in June for both revenue and hours watched, and through the entire quarter Fubo Sports grew viewership 81% year-over-year and revenue 12% year-over-year.
In addition, we boast strong coverage of women’s sports, including approximately 3,500 games annually from leagues like WNBA, PWHL, NCAA, NWSL, WTA, and LPGA. In the first two months of 2024 WNBA season viewership on Fubo grew fourfold (vs. first two months of the 2023 season), with overall viewership already up by 30% compared to viewership on Fubo for the entire 2023 WNBA season. In addition, in the quarter, women’s sports viewership hours increased by 146% and first views increased by 700% vs the same period last year. This indicates that users are seeking out Fubo for this programming and that it is a meaningful driver of engagement.
North America Growth and Distribution
We continue to pursue partnerships that expand Fubo’s reach and attract high-quality subscribers to the platform. During the quarter, we expanded distribution of our product by launching our app on Comcast entertainment platforms, including millions of Xfinity internet households. The Fubo app is now available on Flex and Xumo Stream Box as well as on Xumo TVs, currently sold at retail locations across the U.S.
We also collaborated with Optimum to allow Optimum subscribers to seamlessly sign up for Fubo, leaning into our local sports offering.
Guidance
Given the many unknowns related to the potential launch of Venu, including the outcome of our antitrust lawsuit and the Department of Justice’s reported investigation, our guidance does not reflect any potential impact of the launch to our business. See “Risks related to Venu Sports” below.

Conclusion

We’re confident that we can continue this success while also advocating for a fairer playing field in the media industry, benefiting Fubo, our competitors and, most importantly, our customers.
We look forward to sharing updates on our progress as we continue on our path to profitability.
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 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 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.
13 |
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.
