Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis by our management of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying related notes included in this Quarterly Report, the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Fubo and the Hulu Live Business included in the HL Business Closing 8-K. The historical financial results and information presented below reflect the Hulu Live Business prepared on a carve-out basis for periods prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the historical results of the Hulu Live Business are not necessarily comparable to the results of the combined company following the Business Combination. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Overview We are a consumer-first live TV streaming company with a mission to deliver premium sports, news and entertainment programming through a best-in-class user experience that offers greater choice, flexibility and value. In the United States, we offer consumers a broad array of programming focused on sports, news and entertainment through Fubo-branded and Hulu Live-branded services, both live and on-demand, including tens of thousands of live sporting events. Outside the United States, we operate live TV streaming services in Canada, France and Spain. Our content can be accessed through streaming devices including Smart TVs, mobile phones, tablets and computers. Our business model is centered on operating and monetizing our sports-, news- and entertainment-focused live TV streaming offerings under multiple brands and distribution arrangements. Through our offerings, we seek to serve consumers across the demand curve, offering multiple plan options from “skinny” packages with a number of targeted channels to more robust packages at varying price points, designed to deliver greater choice and flexibility. We leverage sporting events and other popular news and entertainment programming to acquire subscribers at efficient acquisition costs, given built-in demand for such programming. For the Fubo-branded offerings (such services, the "Fubo Services"), we leverage our technology and data to drive higher engagement and induce retentive behaviors such as watching content, favoriting channels, recording shows, and increasing discovery through our proprietary machine learning recommendations engine. We drive our business model with three core strategies, coupled with disciplined capital management: •Grow our paid subscriber base across our offerings •Optimize our content portfolio, product features, engagement and retention to improve unit economics and expand subscriber lifetime value •Drive monetization through subscription pricing, Attachment sales and advertising, and, with respect to our Hulu Live Business, through our wholesale fee arrangement under a commercial services agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") with Hulu, pursuant to which, during the term of such agreement, Hulu pays us fees initially equal to 95% of the Hulu Live Business’s carriage fee expenses in calendar years 2025 and 2026, escalating to 97.5% in calendar year 2027 and 99% in calendar year 2028 and thereafter. Nature of Business We are principally focused on offering consumers live TV streaming services for sports, news, and entertainment programming. Our revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services for the Fubo Services, a wholesale fee arrangement under the Commercial Agreement with Hulu relating to the Hulu Live Service (as defined below), and the sale of advertisements in the United States on the Fubo Services and Hulu Live Service. We also have operations in several international markets, including Canada, France and Spain. 34 Table of Contents Business Combination On October 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2025 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Disney and Hulu, pursuant to which the parties combined the existing Fubo business with the Hulu Live Business (as defined below) (such transactions, collectively, the "Business Combination"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) Hulu (x) contributed certain assets (the “HL Business Assets”) related to the business of negotiating and administering carriage agreements and similar contracts relating to and for the purpose of the retransmission, distribution, carriage, display or broadcast of any programming service, channel or network on the Hulu Live Service (as defined below) (the “Hulu Live Business”) to Hulu Live LLC (“Hulu Live”), (y) caused Hulu Live to assume only the HL Business Liabilities (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (z) contributed the Hulu Live Business and the HL Business Assets to a newly formed entity, Fubo Operations LLC (“Newco”), by transferring all of its right, title and interest in, to and under 100% of the equity interests of Hulu Live to Newco, (ii) the Company underwent an umbrella partnership C corporation (“up-C”) reorganization and contributed 100% of the equity interests in a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Fubo Services LLC, to which the Company had previously contributed the Company’s business prior to the Closing Date, to Newco in exchange for units in Newco (“Newco Units”), resulting in Hulu holding a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 70% economic interest (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) in Newco and the Company holding a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 30% economic interest (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) in Newco, and (iii) the Company issued to Hulu shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, a 70% voting interest in the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted basis). The HL Business Assets include certain carriage agreements, rights under joint subscription agreements and related data and information about its subscribers, advertising or sponsorship agreements exclusively related to Hulu’s linear multi-channel subscription video programming distribution service component of the offering known as “Hulu + Live TV” (such service, the “Hulu Live Service”), all other assets (including intellectual property) exclusively related to the Hulu Live Service and all intellectual property constituting the “Live TV” brand. On the Closing Date, the Company and Hulu, as the members of Newco, adopted an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Newco, pursuant to which Fubo became the sole managing member of Newco. In addition, we entered into certain commercial agreements with Hulu, including a brand licensing agreement and the Commercial Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things: •we granted to Hulu the right, license and obligation to distribute the Hulu Live Service via the Hulu platform on a wholesale basis, pursuant to which, during the term of the Commercial Agreement, Hulu pays us fees initially equal to 95% of the Hulu Live Business’s carriage fee expenses in calendar year 2025 and 2026, escalating to 97.5% in calendar year 2027 and 99% in calendar year 2028 and thereafter; •we agreed to bear the cost of marketing expenses for the Hulu Live Service in accordance with an agreed budget, and Hulu is responsible for all marketing execution for the Hulu Live Service in consultation with us; •Hulu or its affiliates continue to own and operate the Hulu and Disney platforms on which the Hulu Live Service is distributed and will exclusively sell and administer subscriptions to the Hulu Live Service, as well as each add-on thereto, and retain subscription revenue; •certain affiliates of Disney agreed to sell ads on behalf of us for the Fubo Services and the Hulu Live Service in exchange for a 15% ad agency fee; and •Hulu agreed to license the Hulu Live Service-specific brands to us for use in the Hulu Live Business. The Commercial Agreement provides for an initial term of five years, renewable for an additional five-year term by mutual agreement. 35 Table of Contents Basis of Presentation — Business Combination The Company has accounted for the acquisition consummated pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement as a reverse acquisition of the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, with the Hulu Live Business treated as the accounting acquirer of the Company. Accordingly, commencing with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 5, 2026, the historical combined carve-out financial statements of the Hulu Live Business are presented as the historical financial statements of the Company. Prior to the Business Combination, the Hulu Live Business operated as part of Hulu, which is controlled and consolidated by Disney, and, therefore, its historical financial statements were prepared on a carve-out basis from Disney and Hulu, including allocations of certain corporate costs, shared services, and assets and liabilities that were not historically operated or financed on a standalone basis. As a result, the financial results and information included herein for the six month periods ended March 31, 2026 reflects (x) the results of the Hulu Live Business prepared on a carve-out basis for the period from September 28, 2025 through October 28, 2025, and excludes Fubo’s results for this period, and (y) the results of combined Fubo and Hulu Live businesses for the period from October 29, 2025 through March 31, 2026. The financial results and information for all historical periods presented herein reflect the results of the Hulu Live Business prepared on a carve-out basis and excludes the results of the historical Fubo business. Therefore, the historical results of the Hulu Live Business are not necessarily comparable to the results of the Company following the Business Combination. Reverse Stock Split On March 23, 2026, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Company’s Class A Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange at market open on March 24, 2026 under the existing trading symbol "FUBO". As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified into one new share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below, without any action on the part of the holders. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares or the par value of the Company's capital stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of the Company's Class A Common Stock who would otherwise have been en [Excerpt truncated for page length; source filing is linked above.]

Overview
We are a sports-first, cable TV replacement product, offering subscribers access to tens of thousands of live sporting events annually, as well as leading news and entertainment content, both live and on demand. Fubo allows customers to access content through streaming devices and on Smart TVs, mobile phones, tablets, and computers.
Our business motto is “come for the sports, stay for the entertainment.”
First, we leverage sporting events to acquire subscribers at efficient acquisition costs, given the built-in demand for sports. We then leverage our technology and data to drive higher engagement and induce retentive behaviors such as watching content, favoriting channels, recording shows, and increasing discovery through our proprietary machine learning recommendations engine. We monetize our growing base of highly engaged subscribers by driving higher average revenue per user.
We drive our business model with three core strategies:
•Grow our paid subscriber base
•Optimize our content portfolio, engagement and retention
•Increase monetization through subscription and advertising.
Nature of Business
We are a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment. Our revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements in the United States, though we have expanded into several international markets, with operations in Canada, Spain and France.
Our subscription-based services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts at https://fubo.tv, through which we provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the add-ons and features best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. Our platform provides, what we believe to be, a superior viewer experience, with a broad suite of unique features and personalization capabilities such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.
On October 17, 2022, we ceased operation of our business-to-consumer online mobile sportsbook ("Fubo Sportsbook") in connection with the dissolution of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fubo Gaming, Inc. ("Fubo Gaming"). The results of operations of Fubo Sportsbook are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Key Factors and Trends Impacting Performance
Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and may in the future be, affected by a number of factors and trends, such as those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the following:
Brand Awareness
Building and maintaining a strong brand is important to our ability to attract and retain subscribers, as potential subscribers have a number of pay TV choices. We and our competitors attract new subscribers from each other’s existing subscriber bases as well as from first-time purchasers of Pay TV services. We continue to experience increased competition, including from larger companies with greater resources to promote their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and TV commercials, as well as Internet advertising and website product placement. We primarily rely on paid marketing channels (such as social media, search advertising, display advertising, radio, out of home and television) to grow our brand and reach new subscribers. If these channels become less efficient our growth could be adversely affected.
Subscriber Acquisition, Retention and Engagement
Our long-term growth will depend in part on our ability to grow and retain our subscriber base, as well as increased engagement by our subscribers. The relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and user experience of our platform will impact our ability to attract and retain subscribers versus our competitors. Any perceived decline in platform value, whether through new features, pricing adjustments, or content changes, could hurt our ability to attract and retain customers. Aggressive promotions by competitors could further impact our value proposition.
Acceleration or Deceleration of Cord-Cutting
In recent years, we and other streaming services experienced rapid growth in adoption as consumers engage with streaming video and audio through a variety of devices, including connected TVs, mobile phones, and tablets. Although traditional Pay TV still accounts for a meaningful share of TV viewing hours for U.S. households, the proportion has declined in recent years as customers cut the cord. While we believe consumers are increasingly favoring the streaming services based on, among other factors, customer experience and pricing considerations, these positive trends for our business may not continue during future periods.
Shift of Advertising Dollar Spend from Traditional Pay TV to Connected TV
Our business model depends on our ability to grow ad inventory on our platform and sell it to advertisers. We operate in a highly competitive advertising industry and we compete for revenue from advertising with other streaming platforms and services, as well as traditional media, such as radio, broadcast, cable and satellite TV, and satellite and internet radio. Many advertisers devote a substantial portion of their advertising budgets to traditional media, and we expect advertisers may do so in the future. Although traditional TV advertisers have shown a growing interest in over-the-top (“OTT”) advertising, we cannot be certain that their interest will increase in the future. If advertisers do not perceive meaningful benefits of OTT advertising, the market may develop more slowly than we expect, which could adversely impact our operating results and our ability to grow our business. In addition, advertising spend is affected by broader macroeconomic conditions, and therefore economic downturns and recessionary fears may also negatively impact our ability to capture advertising dollars.
61
Table of Contents
Content Acquisition and Renewal
Our ability to compete successfully will depend, among other things, on our ability to obtain desirable content and deliver it to our subscribers at competitive prices. The addition or loss of popular content or channels, including our ability to enter into new content deals or negotiate renewals with our content providers on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, could affect our results and our ability to grow our business. Content costs represent the majority of our “Subscriber related expenses” and the largest component of our total operating expenses. We have seen an increase in these costs in recent periods, and we expect further increases in the future. Moreover, the renewal of long-term content contracts may be on less favorable pricing terms in the future. As a result, our margins may face pressure if we are unable to renew our long-term content contracts on acceptable pricing and other economic terms or if we are unable to pass these increased programming costs on to our subscribers. In addition, as content providers bring to market their own direct-to-consumer streaming services, including the simulcasting and/or exclusive distribution of sporting events, the differentiated value proposition offered by our aggregated content mix may diminish. Moreover, if current or future content partners refuse to grant our subscribers access to stream certain channels, or make their content available on their own DTC platform or our competitors’ platforms, whether exclusively or at more attractive pricing, this could adversely affect our ability to acquire and retain subscribers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Seasonality
We generate significantly higher levels of revenue and subscriber additions in the third and fourth quarters of the year. This seasonality is driven primarily by an influx of new subscribers at the start of the National Football League and college football seasons. Our operating results may also be affected by the scheduling of major sporting events that do not occur annually, such as the World Cup or Olympic Games, or the cancellation or postponement of sporting events. In addition, we typically see subscribers on our platform decline from the fourth quarter of the previous year through the first and second quarter of the following year.
Macroeconomic Factors
Macroeconomic factors, including mounting inflationary cost pressures and potential recession indicators, have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. We continue to monitor the effects of the macroeconomic environment and take appropriate steps designed to mitigate the impact on our business; however, the nature and extent of this impact in future periods remains difficult to predict due to numerous uncertainties outside our control.

Revenue, net
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized revenues of $1,622.8 million compared to $1,368.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $254.6 million was primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue of $250.5 million, comprising $171.8 million from increases in our subscriber base and $78.7 million from increases in subscription package prices and attachments sold, and an increase in other revenue of $4.2 million primarily due to new contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2024. Advertising revenue decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to a decrease in CPMs offset by an increase in the number of impressions sold.
Subscriber related expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized subscriber related expenses of $1,361.0 million compared to $1,213.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $147.7 million was primarily due to an increase in affiliate distribution rights and other distribution costs primarily resulting from an increase in subscribers and contractual rates.
Broadcasting and transmission
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized broadcasting and transmission expenses of $57.9 million compared to $68.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $10.9 million was primarily due to a reduction in expenses resulting from initiatives implemented by the Company to optimize our cloud infrastructure.
Sales and marketing
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized sales and marketing expenses of $202.5 million compared to $207.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $4.5 million was primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation and a $1.5 million decrease in marketing expense offset by a $2.2 million increase in payroll expense.
Technology and development
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized technology and development expenses of $80.0 million compared to $67.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $12.3 million was primarily due to an increase in payroll and contractor expense of $11.3 million.
General and administrative
During the year ended December 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses totaled $75.1 million compared to $64.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $10.8 million was primarily due to a $23.9 million increase in legal fees partially offset by a $12.1 million reduction in accrual for indirect taxes primarily due to expiration of statute of limitations.
Depreciation and amortization
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized depreciation and amortization expenses of $38.5 million compared to $36.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $2.1 million is primarily related to an increase in amortization from the capitalization of internal use assets.
Impairment of other assets
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized impairment of other assets of $3.8 million due to non-recoverability.

Other income (expense)
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $18.9 million of other income (net) compared to $4.6 million of other expense (net) during the year ended December 31, 2023. The change of $23.5 million is primarily related to a $27.9 million increase in gain on extinguishment of debt partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $7.1 million.
Income tax (provision) benefit
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a provision for income tax of $0.7 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The change of $1.5 million was primarily driven by foreign taxes related to our Indian operations. The Company has not provided any income tax benefit relating to its current operating losses in the U.S., France, and Spain as the Company concluded that its deferred tax assets in those countries are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized net income from discontinued operations of $1.7 million compared to $5.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $3.5 million is primarily due to the change in impact from the re-evaluation of certain contract termination costs in each period. We discontinued the operations of our wagering business in October 2022.

Key Performance Metrics
We use certain key performance metrics to monitor and manage our business, including to measure our operating performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We believe these key performance metrics provide useful information to investors in evaluating our operating results in the same manner management does.
Paid Subscribers
We believe the number of paid subscribers is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. Paid 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.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately 1.7 million and 1.6 million paid subscribers in the United States and Canada ("North America" or "NA"), respectively. We had approximately 0.4 million and 0.4 million paid subscribers in the remaining territories in which the Company operates ("Rest of World" or "ROW") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Average Revenue Per User
We believe ARPU provides useful information for investors to gauge the revenue generated per subscriber on a monthly basis. ARPU, with respect to a given period, is defined as total Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue recognized in such period, divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period, divided by the number of months in such period. Advertising revenue, like Subscription revenue, is primarily driven by the number of subscribers to our platform and per-subscriber viewership such as the type of, and duration of, content watched on platform. We believe ARPU is an important metric for both management and investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and measure our subscriber monetization, as well as evaluate unit economics, payback on subscriber acquisition cost and lifetime value per subscriber. In addition, we believe that presenting a geographic breakdown for North America ARPU and ROW ARPU allows for a more meaningful assessment of the business because of the significant differences in both Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue generated on a per subscriber basis in North America when compared to ROW due to our current subscription pricing models and advertising monetization in the two geographic regions.
Our NA ARPU was $85.97 and $82.25 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our ROW ARPU was $7.49 and $6.82 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin (GAAP)
Gross Profit is defined as Revenue less Subscriber related expenses and Broadcasting and transmission. Gross Margin is defined as Gross Profit divided by Revenue. We believe these measures are useful because they represent key profitability metrics for our business and are used by management to evaluate the performance of our business, including measuring the cost to deliver our product to subscribers against revenue.
Our Gross Profit was $203.9 million and $86.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our Gross Margin was 12.6% and 6.3% for the same periods, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. See Note 15 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our cash commitments and contractual obligations as of December 31, 2024, including lease obligations and sponsorship agreements.
Our primary sources of cash are receipts from subscription and advertising revenue as well as proceeds from equity and debt financings. Our primary uses of cash are content and programming license fees and operating expenses, including payroll-related, marketing, technology and professional fees.
On February 2, 2021, we raised $389.4 million, net of offering expenses, through the sale of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% senior convertible notes due 2026 (the "2026 Convertible Notes"). The 2026 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually each year. In October 2023, the Company repurchased $5.0 million principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes for $3.3 million. In January 2024, we exchanged (the "Exchange") $205.8 million principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes for $177.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new convertible senior secured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”). At our election for any interest period, the 2029 Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of (i) 7.5% per annum on the principal amount thereof if interest is paid in cash and (ii) 10.0% per annum on the principal amount thereof if interest is paid in kind, in each case payable semi-annually each year. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased $46.9 million principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes for $27.1 million, including accrued interest. Upon completion of the Exchange and the repurchases, the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes outstanding is $144.8 million, and the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes outstanding is $177.5 million.
On January 6, 2025, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement (see "Recent Developments—Business Combination" above), the Company settled its antitrust litigation against Disney, Fox, and WBD and their affiliates (collectively, the “Defendants”). In conjunction therewith, the Defendants made an aggregate cash payment to the Company of $220.0 million. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."
In addition, in connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and an affiliate of Disney entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which such affiliate committed to provide the Company, on January 5, 2026 and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, up to $145.0 million of indebtedness in the form of a senior unsecured term loan (the “Facility”), subject to customary conditions. The proceeds of the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes of the Company. The funding of the Facility under the Commitment Letter is not contingent on the occurrence of the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
We currently have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-266557) filed with the SEC on August 5, 2022 under which we may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units of up to $750.0 million in the aggregate. In addition, we have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-277677) filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024 under which we may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units (the "2024 Form S-3"). On August 4, 2022, we entered into an at-the-market sales agreement with Evercore Group L.L.C., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Needham & Company, LLC, as sales agents, under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $350.0 million through the sales agents (the "ATM Program") under our 2021 Form S-3. On August 6, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus accompanying the 2024 Form S-3 in order to migrate the ATM Program from a prior effective registration to the 2024 Form S-3. Upon the filing of such prospectus supplement, all offers or sales under the ATM Program shall be made under the 2024 Form S-3. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold 33,218,851 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $43.3 million, after deducting agent commissions and issuance costs. As of December 31, 2024, there was $112.0 million of common stock remaining available for sale under the 2022 Sales Agreement.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $167.6 million. Based on our current outlook, we expect to primarily use our cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operations, to fund our operations. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, those detailed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report. We therefore may from time to time seek to raise additional capital, including selling shares of our common stock under our ATM program to, among other things, fund repurchases of our debt or equity securities or, if a change in market conditions or other circumstances impacts our current outlook and/or liquidity needs, to fund our operating plan. We also may raise capital from time to time to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our liquidity. In addition, we may seek to repurchase, refinance or restructure our outstanding debt securities prior to their maturity in one or more transactions, which may involve the payment of cash or the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.
No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or additional securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing shareholders, reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their percentage ownership. If we are unable to raise additional capital due to unfavorable market conditions, including rising interest rates, or otherwise, or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, operations, and financial condition.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully attract and retain subscribers and compete in a rapidly changing market with many competitors. In addition to the foregoing, based on our current assessment, we do not expect any material impact on our long-term development timeline, revenue levels and our liquidity due to macroeconomic factors, including inflationary cost pressures and potential recession indicators. However, we are continuing to assess the impact that macroeconomic factors may have on our operations, financial condition and liquidity, which depends on factors beyond our knowledge and control. See Note 10 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our outstanding indebtedness.

Continuing Operations
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $75.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $173.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net loss and an increase in cash receipts from accounts receivables partially offset by an increase in payments for programming license fees.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $15.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $25.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower capitalization of internal use software.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $111.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower amount of proceeds from the ATM Program, repurchases of outstanding convertible notes during the year ended December 31, 2024 and payments for financing costs associated with the issuance of the 2029 Convertible Notes during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Discontinued operations
Operating and Investing Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by decrease in activity in the current year since the wind down of Fubo Sportsbook which was terminated in October 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified all significant accounting policies in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Business Combinations
We recognize, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the date of acquisition. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets. We estimate the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating economic benefit from the asset. The determination of the fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding projected revenue and growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. We also review our intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable.

Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year or earlier when circumstances dictate. We measure recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The process of determining the fair value of a reporting unit is highly subjective and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In performing our annual assessment, we can opt to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or we can directly perform a quantitative assessment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of our reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative assessment is performed. Any excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value will be recorded as an impairment loss.
In the first quarter of 2024, we identified a triggering event that required us to perform a quantitative assessment of impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2024. The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value was substantially in excess of its carrying value. Therefore, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired.
We performed a qualitative assessment for our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2024 and concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value was less than the carrying value.
Intangible Assets
We amortize purchased-intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. We review purchased-intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of purchased-intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the asset group against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of these asset groups. If the useful life of the asset is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life.
The Company determined that the initiation of a strategic review of its interactive wagering business in August 2022 constituted a triggering event, in that there would be a significant change in the extent and manner in which the long-lived assets of Fubo Sportsbook would be used, and there was an expectation that the assets would be sold or otherwise disposed of. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined the carrying value of the asset groups, within Fubo Sportsbook, did not exceed future undiscounted cash flows. The Company then calculated the fair value of the asset groups as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value in certain instances. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $76.7 million which represented substantially all of the long-lived assets of Fubo Sportsbook.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation for stock-based awards (including stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards) in accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires numerous assumptions, some of which are highly complex and subjective.
Stock-based awards generally vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, or the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain performance conditions or market and service conditions. For stock-based awards that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements or market and service conditions, stock-based compensation is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and is recognized as stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For stock-based awards that have a performance component, stock-based compensation is measured based on the fair value on the grant date and is recognized over the requisite service period as achievement of the performance objective becomes probable.
We estimate the fair value of our stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of judgments and assumptions, including fair value of our common stock, the option’s expected term, the expected price volatility of the underlying stock, risk free interest rates and the expected dividend yield. The Black-Scholes model assumptions are further described below:
•Common stock – the fair value of the Company’s common stock.

•Expected Term - The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term. The simplified method was used because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.
•Expected Volatility – The Company historically has lacked sufficient company specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies with consideration of the volatility of its own traded stock price.
•Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
•Expected Dividend - The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.
The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023:

Expected price volatility

There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2024.
If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model change significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the previously granted awards.
We account for forfeitures as they occur.
The fair value of our restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of our common stock.
