NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Nautilus, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
On December 30, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31st to March 31st. This document reflects our second fiscal quarter, which ended September 30, 2021, of our fiscal year from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management believes the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties regarding such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements and actual results could differ from those estimates. These uncertainties will be heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, as we may be unable to accurately predict the impact of COVID-19 going forward and as a result our estimates may change in the near term. Further information regarding significant estimates can be found in our 2020 Form 10-K. We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, we have reclassified from accrued liabilities to income taxes payable, current portion.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, and our results of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders' equity for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and our cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Our revenues typically vary seasonally, and this seasonality can have a significant effect on operating results, inventory levels and working capital needs.
Unless indicated otherwise, all information regarding our operating results pertain to our continuing operations.
Updates to Significant Accounting Policies
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of acquisition costs over the fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations. We review goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. For this purpose, goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level. For further information regarding goodwill, see Note 8, Goodwill and Other intangible assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
ASU 2019-12
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in ASU 2019-12 introduce the following new guidance: (1) provides a policy
election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax; and (2) provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized or a separate transaction. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 make changes to the following current guidance: (1) making an intra-period allocation if there is a loss in continuing operations and a gain outside of continuing operations; (2) determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting; (3) accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods; and (4) determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. Our adoption of ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform and provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a reference rate, which is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and we may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which permits entities to apply optional expedients in Topic 848 to derivative instruments modified because of discounting transition resulting from reference rate reform. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2020-01
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” The amendments in ASU 2020-01 clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2016-13
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides entities to have certain instruments with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which provides clarification and addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC 2020-03, which provides an update to clarify or address specific issues. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On September 17, 2021, we acquired VAY AG (“VAY”) for an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $27.0 million using cash on hand. Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, VAY specializes in computer vision and AI technology solutions and has developed software solutions for human motion analysis using any normal RGB (red-green-blue) camera from a device, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. With a mission to democratize professional human motion analysis, VAY enables clients in fitness and health industries to understand and analyze human movement, providing personalized feedback on repetitions and form in real-time.
We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. Goodwill from the acquisition of $24.5 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill recorded in connection with this acquisition is primarily attributable to intellectual property base, employee workforce and application to future digital technologies.
Total acquisition costs incurred through the three-months and six months ended September 30, 2021 were $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and were expensed in general and administrative costs. Since the acquisition occurred on September 17, 2021, no material amount of net sales or net income related to the VAY business was included in our reported September 30, 2021 financial statements.
The sellers of VAY have the opportunity to earn additional contingency consideration subject to the achievement of continued employment over an 18 month period and a total of twenty software engineers. The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay the former owners of VAY upon achievement of these milestones $3.9 million and will be recognized as compensatory expense over the service period. An escrow account was funded for the contingency consideration and is reported as Other assets - restricted, non-current.
Purchase Price Allocation
Acquired assets were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $24.5 million, and is attributed primarily to VAY intellectual property base, employee workforce and application to future digital technologies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Certain liabilities were acquired as part of the transaction.
The purchase price allocation was determined based on the preliminary fair values of the assets identified as of the acquisition date. It may be adjusted, within a period of no more than 12 months from the acquisition date, if the preliminary fair values change as a result of circumstances existing at the acquisition date, and upon receipt of final appraisals and valuations. Such fair value adjustments may arise in respect of property, plant and equipment upon completion of the necessary valuations and physical verifications of such assets.
As of September 30, 2021, the fair values of the assets acquired are preliminary because final appraisals and valuations have not yet been completed. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2021, estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future totaled $84.0 million, primarily related to customer order backlog, which includes firm orders for future shipment and unfulfilled orders to our Retail customers, as well as unfulfilled consumer orders within the Direct channel. We have further refined our Retail backlog to include unfilled future orders. Direct orders of $1.1 million and Retail orders of $82.9 million comprised our backlog as of September 30, 2021, compared to Direct orders of $23.1 million and Retail orders of $208.5 million as of September 30, 2020. The estimated future revenues are net of contractual rebates and consideration payable for applicable Retail customers, and net of current promotional programs and sales discounts for our Direct customers. Due to the severe shortage of shipping containers, some factory fulfilled orders, representing over $22 million in revenue, did not ship as planned in late September. 56% of those orders shipped in October.
The following table provides information about our liabilities from contracts with customers, primarily customer deposits and deferred revenue for which advance consideration is received prior to the transfer of control. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs.

(4) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:
•Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active liquid markets for identical securities as of the reporting date;
•Level 2 - other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk, or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume and/or infrequent transactions; and
•Level 3 - significant inputs that are generally unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

For our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we recognize transfers between levels at the actual date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, nor for the year ended March 31, 2021.
We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record them at fair value. Level 1 investment valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 investment valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions. The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in comprehensive income until realized.
The fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts are calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount factors derived from relevant Level 2 market inputs, including forward curves and volatility levels.
We did not have any changes to our valuation techniques during the during the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, nor for the year ended March 31, 2021.
We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets, such as non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill, other intangible assets and certain other long-lived assets in connection with impairment evaluations. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Other than assets acquired, see Note 2, Business Acquisition, we determined the fair value of our developed technology included in property, plant and equipment using the cost approach which considers how much it would cost to replace an asset of equivalent utility. We did not perform any valuations on assets or liabilities that are valued at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. We perform our goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names impairment valuations annually or when triggering events are identified.
As of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, there were no assets or liabilities that were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaids and other current assets, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our debt approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the interest rate is variable and based on current market rates.
(5) DERIVATIVES
From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the earnings impacts of exchange rate fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to manage foreign currency exposure. That is, we do not engage in currency exchange rate speculation using derivative instruments.
We may hedge our net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivative instruments hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded as other income. These derivative instruments do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. As of September 30, 2021, total outstanding contract notional amounts were $42.3 million and had maturities of 78 days or less.

(9) LEASES
We have several non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for office space, that expire at various dates over the next nine years. These leases generally contain renewal options to extend for one lease term of five years. For leases that we are reasonably certain we will exercise the lease renewal options, the options were considered in determining the lease term, and associated potential option payments are included in the lease payments. The payments used in the renewal term were estimated using the percentage rate increase of historical rent payments for each location where the renewal will be exercised.
Payments due under the lease contracts include annual fixed payments for office space. Variable payments including payments for our proportionate share of the building’s property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance are treated as non-lease components and are recognized in the period for which the costs occur.
Operating lease expense was as follows (in thousands):

(11) PRODUCT WARRANTIES
Our products carry defined warranties for defects in materials or workmanship which, according to their terms, generally obligate us to pay the costs of supplying and shipping replacement parts to customers and, in certain instances, pay for labor and other costs to service products. Outstanding product warranty periods range from thirty days to, in limited circumstances, the lifetime of certain product components. We record a liability at the time of sale for the estimated costs of fulfilling future warranty claims. If necessary, we adjust the liability for specific warranty-related matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. Estimated warranty expense is included in cost of sales, based on historical warranty claim experience and available product quality data. Warranty expense is affected by the performance of new products, significant manufacturing or design defects not discovered until after the product is delivered to the customer, product failure rates, and higher or lower than expected repair costs. If warranty expense differs from previous estimates, or if circumstances change such that the assumptions inherent in previous estimates are no longer valid, the amount of product warranty obligations is adjusted accordingly.

(13) (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted per share amounts were calculated using the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding increased by dilutive potential common shares related to stock-based awards, as determined by the treasury stock method. Basic income per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share amounts were calculated using the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding increased by dilutive potential common shares related to stock-based awards, as determined by the treasury stock method.
The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding used to compute (loss) income per share were as follows (in thousands):

The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding listed in the table below were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted per share due to loss from continuing operations, as such, the exercise or conversion of any potential shares would increase the number of shares in the denominator and result in a lower loss per share (in thousands):

Stock options | 526 | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding listed in the table below were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted income per share. In the case of restricted stock units, this is because unrecognized compensation expense exceeds the current value of the awards (i.e., grant date market value was higher than current average market price). In the case of stock options, this is because the average market price did not exceed the exercise price.

(14) SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE INFORMATION
We have two operating segments, Direct and Retail. There were no changes in our operating segments during the six-months ended September 30, 2021.
We evaluate performance of the operating segments using several factors, of which the primary financial measures are net sales and reportable segment contribution. Contribution is the measure of profit or loss, defined as net sales less product costs and directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses that are directly related to segment operations. Segment assets are those directly assigned to an operating segment's operations, primarily accounts receivable, inventories and other intangible assets. Unallocated assets primarily include cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, derivative securities, shared information technology infrastructure, distribution
centers, corporate headquarters, prepaids and other current assets, deferred income tax assets and other assets. Capital expenditures directly attributable to the Direct and Retail segments were not significant in any period.

(15) BORROWINGS
Wells Fargo Bank Credit Agreement
On May 13, 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement, dated January 31, 2020, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with Wells Fargo the “Lenders”) (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make available to us an asset-based revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55.0 million, subject to a borrowing base (the “ABL Revolving Facility”), and a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility”), in each case, as such amounts may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Several key features have been beneficially amended including permanently removing the $7.5 million minimum liquidity covenant and minimum EBITDA covenant that was scheduled to commence on February 1, 2022. The Credit Facility now contains a single market-based 1.0x springing fixed charge coverage ratio tested only when availability is less than the greater of $6.0 million and 12.5% of the Loan Cap, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Various borrowing base definitions and limits were also amended that will result in improved availability under the ABL Revolving Facility. In addition to the above structural improvements, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was reduced to LIBOR plus 4.50% versus 5.00%.The Term Loan Facility continues to contain amortization as originally scheduled. The repayment of obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. Principal and interest amounts are required to be paid as scheduled.
Interest on the ABL Revolving Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% (based on average quarterly availability) and interest on the Term Loan Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus 4.50%. As of September 30, 2021, our interest rate was 1.83% for the ABL Revolving Facility and 4.58% for the Term Loan Facility.
As of September 30, 2021, outstanding borrowings totaled $17.5 million, with $11.5 million and $6.0 million under our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and $49.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility. Any outstanding balance is due and payable on January 31, 2025.
The balance sheet classification of the borrowings under the revolving loan credit facility has been determined in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Borrowings outstanding under a revolving credit agreement that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a springing lock-box arrangement are classified based on the provisions of ASC 470 because the lock-box remittances do not automatically reduce the debt outstanding.
See Note 17 for a discussion of an amendment to the Credit Agreement in October 2021, which included extending the maturity date from January 31, 2025 to October 29, 2026.
(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees, Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we had standby letters of credit of $0.9 million.
We have long lead times for inventory purchases and, therefore, must secure factory capacity from our vendors in advance. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $78.0 million compared to $216.3 million as of March 31, 2021 in non-cancellable market-based purchase obligations, primarily to secure additional factory capacity for inventory purchases in the next twelve months. The decrease in purchase obligations was primarily due to having received much of the inventory we have ordered for the season. Purchase obligations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and versus the same period in prior years due to a number of factors, including the amount of products that are shipped directly to Retail customer warehouses versus through Nautilus warehouses.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions.
The nature and terms of these indemnification obligations vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated within the agreements. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of indemnification obligations. Management does not deem these obligations to be significant to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and therefore, no related liabilities were recorded as of September 30, 2021.
Legal Matters
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. These legal and tax proceedings involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.
We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to these contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates accordingly. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss probable or reasonably possible, and whether the amount of a probable or reasonably possible loss is estimable. Among other factors, we evaluate the advice of internal and external counsel, the outcomes from similar litigation, the current status of the lawsuits (including settlement initiatives), legislative developments and other factors. Due to the numerous variables associated with these judgments and assumptions, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. Further, while we face contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur, other than as discussed below, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss at this time.
As of September 30, 2021, we accrued $4.7 million for a loss contingency related to a legal settlement involving a class action lawsuit related to advertisement of our treadmills. The settlement includes damages, a one-year free membership to JRNY®, and administrative fees and is reflected in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the face of our Consolidated Balance Sheet and reported as general and administrative expenses.
(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 29, 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the aggregate principal amount available under the ABL Revolving Facility from $55.0 million to $100.0 million (“Revolver”), subject to a borrowing base. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended to October 29, 2026. The unamortized balance on the Term Loan was $11.5 million, as of the effective date of the Amendment, and will amortize on a new 60-month straight line basis to coincide with the extended maturity date.
Other structural improvements to the Credit Agreement include amending the definition of Springing Trigger Event to mean the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (a) the Revolver Commitment and (b) the Borrowing Base as of such date of determination and (ii) $7.5 million. The Springing Trigger Event pertains to the period in which a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test will apply and be tested. Consistent with the Credit Agreement before the Amendment, there continues to be no additional financial maintenance covenants. Additionally, the borrowing base definitions were favorably amended to change the eligible in-transit inventory sublimit from $10.0 million to $22.5 million and the total inventory sublimit from $35.0 million to $65.0 million.

Forward Looking Guidance
Back Half of Fiscal 2022
•The Company’s revenue for the next few quarters will be compared to record results due to the pandemic’s effect on net sales last year. To gauge continued progress against the expanded addressable market, the Company will be measuring business versus the same period two years ago for the next few quarters.
•The Company expects total company net sales for the back half of fiscal 2022 to be between $290 million and $320 million, a 2-year revenue CAGR of 21% to 27%. Sales guidance reflects $6.0 million to $7.0 million of deferred revenue related to the Company’s plan to continue bundling 12-month JRNY® trials with cardio equipment sales.
•The Company expects global supply chain challenges to continue pressuring gross margins in the back half. Gross margins are expected to be 15 to 17 percentage points lower than the same period last year driven by increased logistics, deferred revenue, and investments in JRNY®.
•The Company was pleased with the results of the JRNY® investments in the 1st Half and plans to increase investments in the back half to accelerate membership acquisition. The Company expects these investments to dilute operating margins by 5 to 6 percentage points.
•The Company expects to increase advertising spend in the 2nd Half by 9 to 11 percentage points as a rate of sales to market the latest connected fitness offerings to remain competitive in share of voice in the upcoming fitness season.
•Lastly, the Company expects to continue investing in the infrastructure needed to scale and expects these investments to dilute operating margins by 4 to 5 percentage points.
•Given these investments and the external macro pressure on gross margin, the Company expects a loss in the back half with negative operating margins in the mid-teens.
•The Company continues to expect full year capital expenditures to be between $12 million and $14 million with the majority earmarked for JRNY® investments.
•The Company is raising their guidance for JRNY® members to 250,000 to 350,000 by the end of FY22
Longer term view, beyond Fiscal 2022
•For fiscal year 2023, the Company expects gross margin to improve to the low 30% range driven by stabilization in the logistics environment and the accretive impact of the higher margin subscription business. Thus, the Company expects to return to positive adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2023.
•The Company stated that they have made the strategic decision to accelerate investments in JRNY for the remainder of fiscal 2022 and through fiscal 2023 with a focus on product innovation and marketing. The Company now believes that JRNY will be accretive sooner than previously expected and will accelerate the achievement of their long-term operating margin goal of 15% by one year to FYE 2025, with margins expanding to high teens by FYE 26.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our results of operations may vary significantly from period-to-period. Our revenues typically fluctuate due to the seasonality of our industry, customer buying patterns, product innovation, the nature and level of competition for health and fitness products, our ability to procure products to meet customer demand, the level of spending on, and effectiveness of, our media and advertising programs and our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing sales relationships. In addition, our revenues are highly susceptible to economic factors, including, among other things, the overall condition of the economy and the availability of consumer credit in both the U.S. and Canada. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a heightened need for home-fitness products at an unplanned rate. We are unable to estimate the length of time that the short-term increases in demand for many of our home-fitness products will outpace supply and we are accelerating the manufacturing and delivery of key products. We cannot predict the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 and the impact on our results of operations is uncertain. Our gross margins are being impacted by fluctuations in the costs or availability of materials used to manufacture our products, tariffs,
expedited shipping and transportation costs and product warranty costs. Gross margins may also be affected by fluctuations in cost associated with acquisition or license of products and technologies, product warranty costs, the cost of fuel, foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in costs of other distribution or manufacturing-related services. Our operating profits or losses may also be affected by the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization. Historically, our operating expenses have been influenced by media costs to produce and distribute advertisements of our products on television, websites and other media, facility costs, operating costs of our information and communications systems, product supply chain management, customer support and new product development activities. In addition, our operating expenses have been affected from time-to-time by asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other significant unusual or infrequent expenses.
As a result of the above and other factors, our period-to-period operating results may not be indicative of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on our operating results and should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by us and other companies, both within and outside our industry. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties and, consequently, we cannot assure you of any future growth or profitability. For more information, see our discussion of risk factors located at Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K as supplemented by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Discontinued Operations
Results from discontinued operations relate to the disposal of our former Commercial business, which was completed in April 2011. We reached substantial completion of asset liquidation as of December 31, 2012. Although there was no revenue related to the former Commercial business in either the 2021 or 2020 periods, we continue to incur product liability and other legal expenses associated with product previously sold into the Commercial channel.

The decrease in media advertising for Direct for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due the launch of the Bowflex® VeloCore® bike last year. The increase in media advertising for Direct for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to the return to normalized levels of media spend.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to a $4.7 million loss contingency related to a legal settlement for a class action lawsuit, $1.7 million increase in personnel expenses and acquisition costs of $0.8 million.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to a $4.7 million loss contingency related to a legal settlement for a class action lawsuit, $3.4 million increase in personnel expenses and acquisition costs of $1.0 million.

The increases in research and development expenses for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods of 2020, were driven primarily by increased investments in JRNY®, our digital platform.
(Gain) Loss on Disposal Group
The (gain) loss on disposal group for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 related to the disposal of our Octane Business in 2020.
Operating (Loss) Income
Operating loss for the three-months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.0 million, a decrease of $46.0 million, or 104.4%, as compared to an operating income of $44.0 million compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit and increased operating expenses as discussed in more detail above.
Operating income for the six-months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.9 million, a decrease of $21.0 million, or 56.9%, as compared to an operating income of $36.9 million compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit and increased operating expenses as discussed in more detail above.
Other, Net
Other, net relates to the effect of exchange rate fluctuations with the U.S. and our foreign subsidiaries.

Income tax expense for the three-months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the non-deductible GAAP book expenses that are not allowed for income tax purposes. Such expenses were incurred in the second quarter as a result of our acquisition of VAY, consequently increasing the effective tax rate for the same period. Income tax expense for the three-months ended September 30, 2020 was as a result of the profit generated in U.S.
Income tax expense for the six-months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily a result of the profit generated in the U.S combined with the aforementioned non-deductible GAAP book expenses incurred during the second quarter. The lower effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six-months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the 14% rate benefit of net operating loss carry-backs as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act.
(Loss) Income from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations was $4.6 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2021, or -$0.15 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $34.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for the three-months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in income from continuing operations was primarily due to lower gross profit and higher operating expenses as discussed in more detail above.
Income from continuing operations was $9.4 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2021, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $29.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the six-months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit and increased operating expenses as discussed in more detail above.
Net (Loss) Income
Net loss was $4.6 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $33.8 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2020. Net loss per diluted share was -$0.15 for the three-months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income per diluted share of $1.04 for the three-months ended September 30, 2020.
Net income was $9.3 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $28.7 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2020. Net income per diluted share was $0.29 for the six-months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.90 for the six-months ended September 30, 2020.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.
As of September 30, 2021, we had $21.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and $49.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility, compared to $113.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale securities, and $54.4 million available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2021. We expect our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and amounts available for borrowing under our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2021, along with cash expected to be generated from operations, to be sufficient to fund our operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months from September 30, 2021.
On October 29, 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the aggregate principal amount available under the ABL Revolving Facility from $55.0 million to $100.0 million (“Revolver”), subject to a borrowing base. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended to October 29, 2026. The unamortized balance on the Term Loan was $11.5 million, as of the effective date of the Amendment, and will amortize on a new 60-month straight line basis to coincide with the extended maturity date.
Cash used in operating activities was $56.8 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, compared to cash provided in operating activities of $63.6 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities discussed below, as well as the decrease in net income.
Trade receivables were basically flat at $88.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, primarily due to timing of customer payments on decreased sales.
Inventory was $162.7 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $68.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The increase in inventory was driven by the strategic decision to increase on-hand inventory levels for the holiday season given continued disruption in global logistics. About 40% of inventory as of September 30, 2021 was in-transit.
Prepaid and other current assets decreased by $12.7 million to $13.1 million, compared to $25.8 million as of March 31, 2021, primarily related to other short-term deposits for inventory.
Trade payables increased by $16.4 million to $115.2 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $98.9 million as of March 31, 2021, primarily due to timing of payments for inventory.
Accrued liabilities increased by $2.8 million to $22.4 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $19.6 million as of March 31, 2021, primarily due to an accrued loss contingency related to a class action lawsuit legal settlement.
Cash provided by investing activities of $41.7 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities partially offset by the $26.8 million acquisition of VAY. We anticipate spending between $12.0 million and $14.0 million in fiscal 2022 for digital platform enhancements, systems integration, and production tooling.
Cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds from long-term debt.
Financing Arrangements
On October 29, 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the aggregate principal amount available under the ABL Revolving Facility from $55.0 million to $100.0 million ("Revolver"), subject to a borrowing base. The maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended to October 29, 2026. The unamortized balance on the Term Loan was $11.5 million, as of the effective date of the Amendment, and will amortize on a new 60-month straight line basis to coincide with the extended maturity date.
Other structural improvements to the Credit Agreement include amending the definition of Springing Trigger Event to mean the greater of (i) 10.0% of the lesser of (a) the Revolver Commitment and (b) the Borrowing Base as of such date of determination and (ii) $7.5 million. The Springing Trigger Event pertains to the period in which a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test will apply and be tested. Consistent with the Credit Agreement before the Amendment, there continues to be no additional financial maintenance covenants. Additionally, the borrowing base definitions were favorably amended to change the eligible in-transit inventory sublimit from $10.0 million to $22.5 million and the total inventory sublimit from $35.0 million to $65.0 million.
On May 13, 2021, we amended the January 31, 2020 Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with Wells Fargo the “Lenders”) (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make available to us an asset-based revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55.0 million, subject to a borrowing base (the “ABL Revolving Facility”), and a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility"), in each case, as such amounts may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Several key features have been beneficially amended including permanently removing the $7.5 million minimum liquidity covenant and minimum EBITDA covenant that was scheduled to commence February 1, 2022. The Credit Facility now contains a single market-based 1.0x springing fixed charge coverage ratio tested only when availability is less than the greater of $6.0 million and 12.5% of the Loan Cap, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Various borrowing base definitions and limits were also amended that will result in improved availability under the asset-based revolver. In addition to the above structural improvements, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was reduced to LIBOR plus 4.50% versus 5.00%. The Term Loan Facility continues to contain amortization as originally scheduled. The repayment of obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. Principal and interest amounts are required to be paid as scheduled.Interest on the ABL Revolving Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% (based on average quarterly availability) and interest on the Term Loan Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus 4.50%. As of September 30, 2021, our interest rate was 1.83% for the ABL Revolving Facility and 4.58% for the Term Loan Facility.
As of September 30, 2021, outstanding borrowings totaled $17.5 million, with $11.5 million and $6.0 million under our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and $49.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility. Any outstanding balance is due and payable on January 31, 2025.
The balance sheet classification of the borrowings under the revolving loan credit facility has been determined in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Borrowings outstanding under a revolving credit agreement that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a springing lock-box arrangement are classified based on the provisions of ASC 470 because the lock-box remittances do not automatically reduce the debt outstanding.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have long lead times for inventory purchases and, therefore, must secure factory capacity from our vendors in advance. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $78.0 million, compared to $216.3 million as of March 31, 2021 in non-cancellable market-based purchase obligations, primarily to secure additional factory capacity for inventory purchases in the next twelve months. Purchase obligations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and versus the same period in prior years due to a number of factors, including the amount of products that are shipped directly to Retail customer warehouses versus through Nautilus warehouses. The decrease in purchase obligations was primarily due to receipt of inventory ordered for the fitness season.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from our use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements
with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions.
The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of indemnifications. Management does not deem these obligations to be significant to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and therefore, no liabilities were recorded at September 30, 2021.
SEASONALITY
We expect our revenue from fitness equipment products to vary seasonally. Sales are typically strongest in the fourth quarter and are generally weakest in the second quarter. We believe that consumers tend to be involved in outdoor activities during the spring and summer months, including outdoor exercise, which impacts sales of indoor fitness equipment. This seasonality can have a significant effect on our inventory levels, working capital needs and resource utilization.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those discussed in our 2020 Form 10-K.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk
Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents, derivative assets and variable-rate debt obligations. Our cash equivalents mature within three-months or less from the date of purchase. Marketable securities with original maturities of greater than three-months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. We have classified our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, therefore, we may choose to sell or hold them as changes in the market occur. Because of the short-term nature of the instruments in our portfolio, a decline in interest rates would reduce our interest income over time, and an increase in interest rates may negatively affect the market price or liquidity of certain securities within the portfolio.
Our ABL Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility generally charge interest based on a benchmark rate such as LIBOR. Fluctuations in short-term interest rates may cause interest payments on term loan principal and drawn amounts on the revolving line to increase or decrease. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balances on our ABL Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility totaled $17.5 million.
We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the earnings impacts of exchange rate fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities. Total notional amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2021 were $42.3 million.
A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates, or a 10% movement in the currencies underlying our foreign currency derivative positions, would have material impacts on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to manage our interest rate or foreign currency exposure. That is, we do not engage in interest rate or currency exchange rate speculation using derivative instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our management, including the Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer Principal Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-months ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. These legal and tax proceedings involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. As of September 30, 2021, we accrued $4.7 million for a contingent loss related to a legal settlement involving a class action lawsuit related to the advertisement of our treadmills. The settlement includes damages, a one-year free membership to JRNY®, and administrative fees and is reflected in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the face of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in our 2020 Form 10-K are not the only risks and uncertainties to which we are subject, and there may be other risk and uncertainties that are not currently considered material or are not known to us that could impair our business or operations. If any of the risks described in our 2020 Form 10-K actually occur, our business, operating results and financial position could be adversely affected. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as set forth in our 2020 Form 10-K.
