The Beachbody Company, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Successfully Completed Three-Way Merger on June 25, 2021

Strong $347.2 Million Cash Position with No Debt

Strong Two-Year Growth in Revenue +21%, Subscriptions +55%, Total Streams +75%, and Engagement +330BPS

Poised to Accelerate Future Growth with an Additional 30% Increase in Bike Units, Launch of BOD Interactive, and Increased Media Investment in the Second Half of 2021

The Beachbody Company, Inc. (NYSE: BODY) (“Beachbody” or the “Company”), a leading subscription health and wellness company, today announced financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Beachbody completed a three-way business combination with Myx Fitness Holdings (“Myx”) and Forest Road Acquisition Corp. on June 25, 2021. Results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 include five days of results for Myx.

“Over the last two decades, Beachbody has established itself as a worldwide leader in subscription health & wellness through the development of compelling digital fitness content and proprietary nutritional products that deliver results for millions of customers,” said Carl Daikeler, Beachbody’s Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Office. “Completing our merger, adding connected fitness to the Beachbody portfolio, and bringing Beachbody to the public market has now set the stage for a multi-year period of accelerated growth,” he added. “The addition of Myx enhances our holistic approach to health & wellness and provides us with tremendous opportunity to serve our customers with the enhancements they have been asking for, specifically a high quality connected indoor bike and live content produced with the same innovation that has been Beachbody’s signature since the days of P90X. Looking ahead, we believe the business is poised to benefit from several drivers, including our first ever Beachbody brand advertising campaign, the launch of our new live interactive content subscription offering BOD Interactive (BODi), and the sell-in of the MYX bike to our customer base and powerful network of coaches and influencers.”

“We continued to execute to our proven business model during the second quarter, introducing new digital content and nutritional products that have been well received by our subscribers,” said Sue Collyns, Beachbody’s President and Chief Financial Officer. “However, the delay in closing our business combination resulted in us deferring $12 million of media investments and postponing the launch of the MYX bike within our coach ecosystem until the second half of the year,” she added. “Moving forward, we are well positioned to execute on our strategic objectives with over $347 million of cash on our balance sheet, a decision to ramp up connected fitness unit projections, and increase media investment by an incremental $33 million in the second half of 2021 compared to previous forecasts.”

“The digital disruption of fitness is here, unlocking and expanding the total addressable market. Beachbody is uniquely positioned at the forefront of three mega trends driving this shift—the rise of digital streaming subscriptions, the popularity of connected fitness and the heightened demand for effective health & wellness solutions,” stated Daikeler. “Beachbody has a proven approach, with entry points across multiple platforms and our long history of successfully acquiring, engaging and retaining subscribers. While we remain keenly aware that the near-term COVID variant and macro conditions present heightened uncertainty as we head into the second half of the year, I remain very upbeat on our long-term prospects and confident in our ability to scale the business and create significant shareholder value as conditions begin to normalize.”

Due to the impact of COVID-19 on second quarter 2020 results, the Company is also providing comparisons to the second quarter of 2019.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2021 ²

The merger between Beachbody, Forest Road Acquisition Corp., and Myx Fitness Holdings, LLC on June 25, 2021 occurred one quarter after the forecasted date and resulted in deferring $12.0 million of media investments to the second half of the year. With the merger complete, we now plan to integrate the content of both digital platforms onto the bike in September 2021. In addition, given our strong cash position of $347.2 million, we also plan to increase our media investment in the second half of 2021 compared to previous forecasts by $33.0 million, for a total of $189.0 million in 2021. Additionally, we are increasing our estimated connected fitness bike forecasts by approximately 30% to 95,000 units. While we expect these initiatives to drive long-term value, they are projected to negatively impact Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2021 as they are not forecasted to generate a meaningful in-year payback. Given the many consumer and supply chain variables created by the pandemic, we feel it is prudent to present a more conservative view with respect to our outlook for the remainder of the year. Accordingly, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 the Company currently expects:

• Total revenue¹ between $930.0 million and $960.0 million
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ between ($110.0) million and ($100.0) million

In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance.

We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, amortization of content assets, interest expense, income taxes, equity-based compensation, and other items that are not normal, recurring, operating expenses necessary to operate the Company’s business.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
