Outlook
For the first quarter of 2023 the Company expects:

• Total revenue of $135.0 million to $140.0 million
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.0 million to $6.0 million

In reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Regulation S-K, a reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including net income (loss) and adjustments that are made for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and employee incentives, impairment, inventory net realizable value, transaction costs, restructuring costs, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, non-operating items including interest income and gain on investment, and other adjustments reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical Adjusted EBITDA. The variability of the amounts of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results.

Recent Events
In January 2023, the Company executed cost-reduction initiatives intended to further streamline the business, while focusing on key growth priorities.

On March 9, 2023, the Company announced a rebrand from Beachbody to BODi and the launch of an updated version of its premium digital platform, BODi.

Adjusted EBITDA

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 impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, amortization of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, amortization of content assets, interest expense, income taxes, equity-based compensation, inventory net realizable value adjustments, transaction costs, restructuring, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, 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 its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) can be found below:
