Nautilus, Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter Results

First Half Fiscal Year 2022 Net Sales up 20% versus Last Year and up 167% versus Fiscal Year 2020

Advances JRNY® platform with Completed Acquisition of VAY AG, a leader in motion technology

JRNY® Total Members Approximately 200,000

Increasing JRNY® Investment to Accelerate Roadmap to Achieving Long-Term Operating Margin Targets

Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS) today reported its unaudited operating results for the fiscal 2022 second quarter and six-months ended September 30, 2021.

Management Comments

“Our second quarter results reflect the continued momentum of our North Star Strategy, as we capitalize on the sustained expansion of the home fitness addressable market. Second quarter fiscal 2022 net sales were up 124% on a two-year basis, driven by triple digit gains across both Retail and Direct segments compared to 2019 levels. We also increased revenue 20% for the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to first half of fiscal 2021. While our results were affected by global shipping constraints, we continued to advance our supply chain process, including the opening of a new distribution center, that has allowed us to work down backlog and improve our inventory position relative to last year,” said Jim Barr, Nautilus Inc. Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Barr continued “As we look ahead, we have great conviction that a winning personalized connected fitness experience is the future of Nautilus. We have made significant progress executing against our North Star strategy, including the recent VAY acquisition that enhances our software development capabilities and adds new and innovative features to the JRNY platform. The business impact of these strategic initiatives has already exceeded our expectations, with nearly 200,000 JRNY members today, about 3x where we were a year-ago. While we are thrilled with this initial success, we are just scratching the surface of where we believe we can take the business and cement our leadership position within the digitally connected fitness space. We have made the strategic decision to accelerate our investment in JRNY® for the remainder of fiscal 2022 and in fiscal 2023, with a focus on product innovation and marketing. This will enable our digital subscription business to be accretive sooner than previously expected and ultimately accelerate our roadmap to achieving a sustainable operating margin target of 15% by one year to fiscal 2025, with margins expanding to high teens by fiscal 2026.”

Total Company Results

Fiscal 2022 Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to September 30, 2020

  • Net sales were $138.0 million, compared to $155.4 million, a decline of 11.2% versus last year, or down 5.4% excluding sales related to the Octane brand, which was sold in October 2020. Net sales are up 160%, or a 61% CAGR, when compared to the same period in 2019, excluding Octane. The sales decline was driven primarily by lower Direct sales and shipping constraints.

  • Gross profit was $42.1 million, compared to $67.9 million last year. Gross profit margins were 30.5% compared to 43.7% last year. The 13.2 ppt decrease in gross margins was primarily due to: logistics (-8 ppts), commodities, components, and foreign exchange (-4 ppts) and increased investments in JRNY® (-1 ppt).
  • Operating expenses were $44.0 million, an increase of $20.1 million, or 83.8%, compared to last year, primarily due to last year’s $8.3 million Octane Gain on Disposal Group, a legal settlement of $4.7 million, $4.0 million more in advertising, $3.5 million increase in JRNY® investments, and acquisition expenses of $0.8 million. Total advertising expenses were $12.1 million versus $8.0 million last year, trending more towards historical levels.

  • Net loss was $4.6 million, or -$0.15 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $33.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, last year.

    • Adjusted operating expenses were $38.5 million, or 27.9% of sales, compared to $32.3 million, or 20.8% of sales, last year. The increase was driven by increased advertising and JRNY® investments.

    • Adjusted operating income decreased to $3.5 million compared to last year’s $35.7 million, driven by lower gross profit and higher adjusted operating expenses.

    • Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $28.0 million, or $0.87 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet and Other Key Highlights as of September 30, 2021:

  • Cash and Liquidity:

    • Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $21.5 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale securities of $113.2 million as of March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the strategic decision to increase on-hand inventory for the holiday season and the acquisition of VAY.

    • Debt and other borrowings were $17.2 million compared to $13.3 million as of March 31, 2021.

    • $49.0 million was available for borrowing under the Wells Fargo Asset Based Lending Revolving Facility (“Facility”) compared to $54.4 million as of March 31, 2021.

    • On October 29, 2021 we amended our Facility to increase our revolver size from $55.0 million to $100.0 million and extended the maturity date to October 29, 2026.
  • Inventory was $162.7 million, compared to $68.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The increase in inventory is driven by the strategic decision to increase on-hand inventory levels ahead of the fitness season given continued disruption in global logistics. About 40% of inventory as of September 30, 2021 was in-transit.
  • Trade receivables were $88.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021. Trade receivables were flat due to the timing of customer payments on decreased sales.
  • Trade payables were $115.2 million, compared to $98.9 million as of March 31, 2021. The increase in trade payables was primarily due to the timing of payments for inventory.
  • Capital expenditures totaled $5.0 million for the six-months ended September 30, 2021.

Forward Looking Guidance

Back Half of Fiscal 2022

  • The Company’s revenue for the next few quarters will be compared to record results due to the pandemic’s effect on net sales last year. To gauge continued progress against the expanded addressable market, the Company will be measuring business versus the same period two years ago for the next few quarters.
  • The Company expects total company net sales for the back half of fiscal 2022 to be between $290 million and $320 million, a 2-year revenue CAGR of 21% to 27%. Sales guidance reflects $6.0 million to $7.0 million of deferred revenue related to the Company’s plan to continue bundling 12-month JRNY® trials with cardio equipment sales.
  • The Company expects global supply chain challenges to continue pressuring gross margins in the back half. Gross margins are expected to be 15 to 17 percentage points lower than the same period last year driven by increased logistics, deferred revenue, and investments in JRNY®.
  • The Company was pleased with the results of the JRNY® investments in the 1st Half and plans to increase investments in the back half to accelerate membership acquisition. The Company expects these investments to dilute operating margins by 5 to 6 percentage points.
  • The Company expects to increase advertising spend in the 2nd Half by 9 to 11 percentage points as a rate of sales to market the latest connected fitness offerings to remain competitive in share of voice in the upcoming fitness season.
  • Lastly, the Company expects to continue investing in the infrastructure needed to scale and expects these investments to dilute operating margins by 4 to 5 percentage points.
  • Given these investments and the external macro pressure on gross margin, the Company expects a loss in the back half with negative operating margins in the mid-teens.
  • The Company continues to expect full year capital expenditures to be between $12 million and $14 million with the majority earmarked for JRNY® investments.
  • The Company is raising their guidance for JRNY® members to 250,000 to 350,000 by the end of FY22.

Longer term view, beyond Fiscal 2022

  • For fiscal year 2023, the Company expects gross margin to improve to the low 30% range driven by stabilization in the logistics environment and the accretive impact of the higher margin subscription business. Thus, the Company expects to return to positive adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2023.
  • The Company stated that they have made the strategic decision to accelerate investments in JRNY for the remainder of fiscal 2022 and through fiscal 2023 with a focus on product innovation and marketing. The Company now believes that JRNY will be accretive sooner than previously expected and will accelerate the achievement of their long-term operating margin goal of 15% by one year to FYE 2025, with margins expanding to high teens by FYE 26.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Presentation

In addition to disclosing its financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, Nautilus has presented in this release certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of certain items (as further described below) and provide supplemental information regarding operating performance. Nautilus presents non-GAAP financial measures as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a substitute for GAAP. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of operating results and trends for the periods presented. Management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate performance using the same metrics that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Nautilus strongly encourages you to review all its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.

EBITDA from Continuing Operations

Nautilus defines EBITDA from continuing operations as its income from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit) of continuing operations, and depreciation and amortization expense. Nautilus uses EBITDA from continuing operations in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes such as budgeting and establishing operational goals. Nautilus believes that EBITDA from continuing operations helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that are excluded from EBITDA from continuing operations and enhances the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. Management believes that EBITDA is frequently used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently, and it may not be comparable.

Adjusted Results

In addition to disclosing the comparable GAAP results, Nautilus has presented its operating expenses, operating income (loss), and income (loss) from continuing operations on an adjusted basis. Adjusted operating expenses excludes the non-cash charges related to the disposal group held-for-sale of Octane Fitness®, legal settlements and acquisition costs. Adjusted operating income excludes non-cash charges related to the disposal group held-for-sale of Octane Fitness®. Adjusted income from continuing operations excludes the loss as well as the associated tax benefit. We believe that the adjustment of this charge and associated tax benefit, which are inconsistent in amount and frequency, supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. In addition to presenting its EBITDA from continuing operations as described above, Nautilus has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, excluding the aforementioned loss for similar reasons.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

In addition to presenting its EBITDA from continuing operations as described above, Nautilus has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, to exclude the non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation expense, legal settlements, and acquisition costs. We believe that the adjustment of this charge, which is inconsistent in amount and frequency, supplements the EBITDA information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

(1) Gain or loss on disposal group

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, for a long-lived assets or disposal group classified as held-for-sale, a loss is recognized for the carrying amount that exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets less the cost to sell. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale should be presented separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the balance sheet. The disposal group was structured as a sale of the subsidiary shares and we elected to classify the deferred taxes associated with the individual assets and liabilities as part of the disposal group held-for-sale.
