Updates Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance


VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON, November 14, 2023 - BowFlex Inc. (NYSE: BFX) today reported its unaudited operating results for the fiscal 2024 second quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Management Comments

“The retail environment has remained challenging throughout our fiscal year second quarter. We continued to offset the topline softness with diligent cost management and operational excellence efforts, resulting in another quarter of year-over-year improvement in gross margin and adjusted EBITDA loss during Q2,” said Jim Barr, BowFlex Inc. Chief Executive Officer. “While both our Retail and Direct segment net sales declined year-over-year, we were encouraged by the growth of our international Retail business and the positive comp we delivered in our Direct Strength equipment, a testament to the deliberate product enhancements we’ve made in this area. Additionally, we recently marked a major milestone for our business with our rebranding to BowFlex Inc., reflecting our reinforced focus on our strongest brand and providing our consumers with the products and experiences that support their lifelong fitness journey.”

Mr. Barr concluded, “Coming into our fiscal third quarter, we see the difficult macroeconomic landscape persisting, with retailers maintaining a highly conservative approach to inventory reorders. In this environment, we are delivering on our operational excellence initiatives, successfully controlling our costs and optimizing our inventory position. These initiatives resulted in improvements to adjusted EBITDA loss in the first half of the year and we believe will drive continued adjusted EBITDA loss improvement in the second half of the year. Looking further ahead, we are strategically positioned to capitalize on the long-term shift to connected at-home fitness with a strong pipeline of new strength and cardio products and continued momentum on scaling JRNY®.”

Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to September 30, 2022

•Net sales were $48.7 million, compared to $65.5 million, a decline of 25.7% versus last year. The sales decline versus last year was driven primarily by lower customer demand.

The 3 ppt increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower landed product costs (+9 ppts) and a decrease in inventory adjustments (+2 ppts), partially offset by unfavorable absorption of JRNY COGs (-4 ppts), increased discounting (-3 ppts), and higher other costs (-1 ppt).

1

•Operating expenses were $21.2 million compared to $25.8 million last year. The decrease of $4.6 million, or 18.0%, was primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in personnel expenses, a $0.8 million decrease in media spending, and a $0.3 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales. Total advertising expenses were $2.3 million this year versus $3.1 million last year.

•Operating loss was $11.2 million compared to an operating loss of $14.3 million last year, primarily driven by lower operating expenses and higher gross profit.

•Income tax expense was $0.5 million this year compared to $0.2 million last year. The increase in income tax expense compared to last year was primarily driven by higher foreign related taxes.

•Loss from continuing operations was $12.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $15.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, last year.

•Net loss was $12.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, last year.

◦Adjusted operating expenses were $19.8 million compared to $25.2 million last year.

•Net sales were $90.4 million, compared to $120.3 million, a decline of 24.8% versus last year. The net sales decline versus last year was driven primarily by lower customer demand.

•Gross profit was $18.6 million, compared to $18.4 million last year. Gross profit margin was 20.6% compared to 15.3% last year. The 5 ppt increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower landed product costs (+10 ppts), a decrease in inventory adjustments (+2 ppts), and favorable logistics overhead absorption (+1 ppt), partially offset by unfavorable absorption of JRNY COGS (-5 ppts), increased discounting (-1 ppt), increased outbound freight (-1 ppt), and higher other costs (-1 ppt).

•Operating expenses were $40.3 million compared to $83.9 million last year. The decrease of $43.6 million, or 51.9%, was primarily due to a prior year goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $27.0 million, an $8.4 million decrease in personnel expenses, a $5.4 million decrease in media spending, a $1.1 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales, and a $0.4 million decrease in legal expenses. Total advertising expenses were $3.4 million versus $8.8 million last year.

•Operating loss was $21.7 million or a negative 24.0% operating margin, compared to an operating loss of $65.5 million last year, primarily driven by lower operating expenses during the period as well as a prior year goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $27.0 million.

•Income tax expense was $1.0 million this year compared to $8.3 million last year. Tax expense in the current period was primarily driven by foreign related taxes and reserves related to an income tax audit. The decrease
2

in income tax expense compared to last year was primarily as a result of the U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in fiscal 2023.

•Loss from continuing operations was $17.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $75.5 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, last year.

◦Adjusted operating expenses were $38.6 million compared to $55.7 million last year. The $17.1 million or 30.7% decrease was driven by an $8.4 million decrease in personnel expenses, a $5.4 million decrease in media spending, a $1.1 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales, and a $0.4 million decrease in legal expenses.

◦Adjusted operating loss was $20.0 million compared to a loss of $37.3 million last year, driven by lower operating expenses.

Direct Segment

•Direct segment sales were $20.7 million, compared to $24.5 million, a decline of 15.3% versus the same period in 2022. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by lower customer demand.

•Cash and Liquidity:

•Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $10.3 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $18.3 million as of March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in slow season combined with inventory purchases in anticipation of our busy season, which occurs in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.

•Debt and other borrowings were $15.8 million, a reduction of $12.1 million, compared to $27.9 million as of March 31, 2023.

•Inventory was $66.1 million, up 42% compared to $46.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and down 33% versus the same quarter last year. The increase in inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 was driven by inventory purchases in anticipation of our busy season, which occurs in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. About 40% of inventory as of September 30, 2023 was in-transit.

•Trade receivables were $24.2 million, compared to $21.5 million as of March 31, 2023. The increase in trade receivables was due to increased Retail sales offset by cash collection efforts in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Trade payables were $63.2 million, compared to $29.4 million as of March 31, 2023. The increase in trade payables was primarily due to inventory purchases in advance of our busy season, which occurs in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.

•Capital expenditures totaled $1.9 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.5 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2022. The decline is primarily related to lower investments in JRNY® as the Company completed the integration of Vay.

Forward Looking Guidance

The following forward-looking statements reflect the Company's full fiscal year 2024 expectations as of November 14, 2023 and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Full Year Fiscal 2024

BowFlex is adjusting full year fiscal 2024 guidance.

•The Company now expects full year net revenue to be in the range of $215 million to $240 million, compared to previous guidance of a range of $270 million to $300 million.

•The Company now expects full year royalty revenue to be $1.1 million, compared to previous guidance of $1.8 million.

•The Company now expects full year Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of between $15 million to $25 million, compared to previous guidance of $15 million loss to break-even.

•The Company now expects to cross 650,000 JRNY® Members by March 31, 2024, compared to previous guidance of targeting 625,000 JRNY® Members by March 31, 2024.

1The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance, rather than net income guidance, due to the inherent unpredictability of forecasting certain types of expenses such as stock-based compensation and income tax expenses, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the impact of such expenses, if any, on net income. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of a reconciliation. Accordingly, the Company does not provide a reconciliation of projected net income to projected Adjusted EBITDA

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Presentation
BowFlex presents non-GAAP financial measures as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a substitute for GAAP.

In addition to disclosing its financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, BowFlex has presented in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of certain items (as further described below). Management believes these measures are also useful to investors as these are the same metrics that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. BowFlex strongly encourages investors to review all its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s performance.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. BowFlex defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures. The Company believes that, when viewed with its GAAP results, free cash flow provides management, investors and other users of the Company's financial information with a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its cash flows. BowFlex believe free cash flow provides useful additional information to users of the Company's financial information and is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash is available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. The Company uses this metric internally, as we believe a sustained ability to generate free cash flow is an important driver of value creation. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to supersede or replace GAAP results.

Adjusted Results

In addition to disclosing the comparable GAAP results, BowFlex has presented its operating expenses and operating (loss) income on an adjusted basis to exclude certain non-recurring items, including the non-cash charge related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment(1)and exit charges(2). The Company believes that excluding these items, which are inconsistent in amount and frequency, supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. BowFlex has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, excluding the aforementioned items for similar reasons.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

BowFlex has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, to exclude the non-cash charge related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment(1) and restructuring and exit charges(2), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other net expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important measure as it allows the company to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The Company believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of operating results to prior periods and to peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. The Company excludes other expenses, net that are the result of factors and can vary significantly from one period to the next. BowFlex believes that exclusion of such other expenses are useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis.

BowFlex does not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

(1) Goodwill and intangible impairment charge
In accordance with ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, an entity is required to perform goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names impairment valuations annually, or sooner if triggering events are identified. We observed continued market volatility including significant declines in our market capitalization during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, which we identified as a triggering event. In response to the triggering event, we performed an interim evaluation and a market capitalization reconciliation during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which resulted in non-cash goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charges.
(2) Restructuring and exit charges
In February 2023, we restructured our cost structure to align with lower revenue. In addition to ending relationships with outsourced contractors, we executed a reduction in our workforce of approximately 15%. Restructuring and exit charges include involuntary employee termination benefits and other exit costs.

(3) Acquisition and other related costs
On September 17, 2021, we acquired VAY AG ("VAY") for aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $27.0 million. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. Acquisition and other costs are reflected in general and administrative costs and consist of acquisition related closing costs and a contingent consideration arrangement. The contingent consideration arrangement required the Company to recognize $3.9 million compensatory expense over an 18 month service period.
