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.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, impairment of other assets, stock-based compensation, certain litigation and transaction expenses, other (income) expense, and income tax provision (benefit). Certain litigation expenses consist of legal expenses and related fees and costs for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of 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. Certain transaction expenses consist of professional advisor costs related to the pending business combination with Hulu + Live TV.
Adjusted EPS (Earnings per Share)
Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure defined as Adjusted Net Loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding.
Adjusted Net Loss
Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, adjusting for discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt premium, net, amortization of intangibles, gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on settlement of litigation, net and certain litigation and transaction expenses (as described further above, see “Adjusted EBITDA”).
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations, reduced by capital expenditures (consisting of purchases of property and equipment), capitalization of internal use software, purchases of intangible assets and gain on settlement of litigation, net. 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.
Reconciliation of Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain measures used in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, 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 press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
