AUSTIN, TX, Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Interactive Strength Inc. d/b/a FORME (the "Company", or “FORME”) (NASDAQ: TRNR), today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2023.

The Company incurred a net loss of $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, or a loss of $1.02 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $11.9 million, or a loss of $24.46 per diluted share for the same period in 2022, due primarily to expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a $5.7 million loss for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter reflects $4.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Additionally, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent and exclusivity agreement to acquire a connected fitness equipment business. The potential transaction, if consummated, is expected to accelerate FORME’s commercialization path, result in immediate scale across all functions and create a high-growth and profitable platform that sells connected fitness equipment and digital fitness services across B2B and B2C channels.

Based on internal projections from the target’s management, 2023 combined gross revenues are projected to exceed $10 million and 2024 combined gross revenues are projected to exceed $25 million. By the fourth quarter of 2024, the combined business is expected to be cash flow positive and to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA based on identified cost synergies. It is currently anticipated that all of the equity of the target company will be exchanged for TRNR equity and be subject to a “lock-up” until at least the end of October 2024, similar to pre-IPO shareholders. There will be a separate press release providing more information on the potential acquisition.

CEO Comments
Trent Ward, co-founder and CEO of FORME, said, “While the second quarter revenue was an improvement on the first quarter, we believe the most exciting driver in the business going forward is the letter of intent and exclusivity agreement into which we have entered, and which we believe should result in a transformational acquisition that can accelerate our commercialization path. We expect this transaction can help us achieve immediate scale across all of our cost centers, resulting in a high-growth and profitable platform that sells connected fitness equipment and digital fitness services across B2B and B2C channels.”

“Specifically, for the second quarter, hardware installations drove the fitness product revenue to more than triple from the first quarter, and it would have been higher, but a number of installations slipped to July as a result of consumers’ holiday travel in June.”

“We are excited about what we are seeing in the B2B channel, as evidenced by our new partnership with The Risher Companies that was announced earlier this month. We expect that fitness product sales into the B2B channel will drive a material percentage of our hardware installations going forward as we are focusing more on this higher return on capital channel. In fact, the strength of the performance in the B2B channel, as well as our belief that the FORME business would benefit from it, were key reasons for our interest in the potential acquisition.”

"If the transaction is consummated and we generate the expected combined gross revenues, we expect to that the combined business will be generating profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis by the fourth quarter of 2024.”

Channels for Disclosure of Information

In compliance with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD, we announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, company blog posts, public conference calls, and webcasts, as well as via our investor relations website. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references only.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

The Company's non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; vendor settlements; and IPO readiness costs and expenses.

The Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired;
  • Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:

  • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for fixed assets, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect gains associated with vendor settlements.
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect IPO readiness costs and expenses that do not qualify as equity issuance costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non cash fair value gains (losses) on convertible notes, warrants and unrealized currency gains (losses).

Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Households
We believe our ability to expand the number of households is an indicator of our market penetration and growth. Total households are defined as individuals or entities with an active paid membership and training.

Members
Our total member count is a key indicator of the size of our future revenue opportunity. We define a member as someone who has a unique profile on our platform, either as the primary membership owner or an associated user within the household.

ARR
Given the recurring nature of usage on our platform, we view annual recurring revenue as an important indicator of our progress towards growth targets and of the overall health of the member base. We calculate ARR at a point in time by multiplying the latest monthly period’s revenue by 12.

ARPH
We believe that our average recurring revenue per household, which we refer to as ARPH, is a strong indication of our ability to deliver value to our members and we use this metric to track expanding usage on our platform by our existing members. We calculate ARPH on a monthly basis as our total revenue in that period divided by the number of households determined as of the last day of that period. For a quarterly or annual period, ARPH is determined as the weighted average monthly ARPH over such three or 12-month period.

Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our ability to maintain long-term revenue growth and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability to retain and grow revenue from our existing members. To help us measure our performance in this area, we monitor our net dollar retention rate. We calculate net dollar retention rate monthly by starting with the revenue from the cohort of all members during the corresponding month 12 months prior, or the Prior Period Revenue. We then calculate the revenue from these same members as of the current month, or the Current Period Revenue, including any expansion and net of any contraction or attrition from these members over the last 12 months. The calculation also includes revenue from members that generated revenue before, but not in, the corresponding month 12 months prior, but subsequently generated revenue in the current month and are therefore reflected in the Current Period Revenue. We include this group of re-engaged members in this calculation because our members may use our platform for workouts that stop and start over time. We then divide the total Current Period Revenue by the total Prior Period Revenue to arrive at the net dollar retention rate for the relevant month. For a quarterly or annual period, the net dollar retention rate is determined as the average monthly net dollar retention rates over such three or 12-month period.
