NEW YORK — FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a/ Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company, targeting positive Free Cash Flow in 2025, delivered continued top-line growth and bottom-line improvements, including year-over-year (YoY) improvements in Net Loss of $110.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA (AEBITDA) of $98.8 million for the trailing twelve months (TTM).

Fubo exceeded revenue guidance in North America, ending the third quarter with $377 million total revenue, up 21% YoY. The Company achieved its third quarter subscriber goal, ending the period with 1.613 million subscribers, up 9% YoY. Fubo’s average revenue per user (ARPU) expanded 2.5% YoY to $85.64.

In the Rest of World (ROW), the Company delivered $8.9 million total revenue, up 6.0% YoY, and 378,000 paid subscribers, down 8.1% YoY. ARPU reached $7.50, up 7.5% YoY. ROW includes the results of Molotov, the French live TV streaming service acquired by Fubo in December 2021.

Fubo states its key metrics on a YoY basis given the seasonality of sports content.

Net Loss from continuing operations in the third quarter was $54.7 million, leading to an earnings per share (EPS) loss of $0.17. This compares favorably to a Net Loss from continuing operations of $84.4 million, or an EPS loss of $0.29, in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EPS loss in the third quarter was $0.08, compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $0.22 in the third quarter of 2023.

In the third quarter, AEBITDA was -$27.6 million, a $33.8 million improvement when compared to the third quarter of 2023. This reduction was a result of Fubo’s continued focus on efficient growth and cost control.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was $2.4 million, a $27.4 million improvement compared to the third quarter of 2023, and Free Cash Flow in the third quarter was -$1.1 million, an improvement of $31.3 million compared to third quarter of 2023. These improvements, as with Fubo’s improvements in Net Loss and AEBITDA, were a result of operating leverage and continued efficiencies throughout the business.

Fubo ended the quarter with $152.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand.
