Gross Margin Improves 300 Basis Points vs. Q3 Fiscal 2022 and 580 Basis Points vs Q2 Fiscal 2023

Adjusted EBITDA Loss Reduced by 67% versus Q3 Fiscal 2022

Executes $30M Cost Reduction Initiatives to Drive Profitable Growth

The Company Updates Full Year Guidance

Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS) today reported its unaudited operating results for the fiscal 2023 third quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Management Comments

“We are pleased with our Q3 results, highlighted by continued strength in our Direct segment, with net sales growing 30% compared to the same quarter in pre-pandemic fiscal 2020. Ongoing improvement of inventory management delivered consolidated sequential and year-over year gross margin rate improvement. We see continued momentum in our differentiated digital fitness platform, JRNY®, as we reached nearly 450,000 members at the end of Q3,” said Jim Barr, Nautilus, Inc. Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Barr continued, “Despite solid demand for our products as demonstrated in our Direct segment, headwinds in Retail re-orders persist as our retail partners continue to act conservatively in light of uncertainty in the economic environment. We are taking decisive actions to reduce our costs and realign our business with the short-term revenue outlook, positioning us to navigate these near-term challenges, enhance free cash flow, and drive long-term profitable growth.”

“We have set the foundation for our path to becoming a leader in connected fitness thanks to the strength and breadth of our equipment business and advancements in our differentiated digital fitness platform. Looking ahead, we will remain proactive and nimble in responding to market conditions. We will continue to be prudent in how we manage our costs and prioritize investments to ensure we support momentum of our transformation and enhance our profitability,” Mr. Barr concluded.

Cost Reduction Initiatives

Over the last several quarters, Nautilus has improved its operational efficiency, including executing on opportunities to enhance supply chain, improve inventory management, and optimize marketing spend. As challenges in the retail environment persist, Nautilus has taken additional proactive cost reduction actions to drive profitability despite market headwinds. This includes the difficult decision to reduce its workforce by approximately 15%. In addition, Nautilus has reduced its contracted labor, leveraging the flexibility of the Company's variable operating model. As a result, Nautilus is better positioned to manage through near-term headwinds in its Retail business, while continuing to drive its Direct business and serve its growing base of JRNY® members.

These actions along with enterprise-wide cost optimization efforts are expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $30.0 million beginning in Q4 Fiscal 2023. The Company expects to incur restructuring and other one-time charges of approximately $3.0 million in the Q4 Fiscal 2023 to Q1 Fiscal 2024 time frame.

Total Company Results

To gauge sales growth against more "normalized" or pre-pandemic results, the Company will rely more heavily on measuring performance of fiscal 2023 versus the pre-pandemic twelve-month period that ended March 31, 2020 ("fiscal 2020"), rather than measuring performance against the atypical, outsized results that occurred during the pandemic.

Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021

  • Net sales were $98.1 million, compared to $147.3 million, a decline of 33.4% versus last year. Net sales are up 9%, when compared to the same period in fiscal 2020, excluding sales related to the Octane brand, which was sold in October 2020. The sales decline versus last year is driven primarily by the return to pre-pandemic seasonal demand.
  • Gross profit was $22.9 million, compared to $29.9 million last year. Gross profit margins were 23.3% compared to 20.3% last year. The 3.0 ppt increase in gross margins was primarily due to decreases in inventory adjustments (+3 ppts), lower product costs (+2 ppts), partially offset by unfavorable logistics overhead absorption (-1 ppt) and higher outbound freight (-1 ppt). JRNY® investments were lower in dollars versus the prior year and negatively affected gross margins by only 0.40 ppts.
  • Operating expenses were $33.1 million compared to $49.2 million last year. The decrease of $16.1 million, or 32.7%, was primarily driven by $12.7 million lower media spending, a decrease of $2.1 million due to other cost savings, and a $1.3 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales. Total advertising expenses were $9.5 million this year versus $22.3 million last year.
  • Operating loss was $10.3 million compared to an operating loss of $19.3 million last year, primarily driven by improved gross margins and lower operating expenses.
  • Income tax expense was $0.3 million this year compared to a $7.0 million tax benefit last year. The income tax expense this quarter was primarily related to activities in foreign jurisdictions, as well as the recording of a $2.8 million valuation allowance.
  • Loss from continuing operations was $11.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $13.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, last year.
  • Net loss was $11.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $13.5 million or $0.43 per diluted share, last year.
  • The following statements exclude the impact of acquisition and other related costs1 for the three-months ended December 31, 2021.
    • Adjusted operating expenses were $32.5 million compared to $48.6 million last year. The $16.1 million or 33.1% decrease was primarily due to $12.7 million lower media spending, a decrease of $2.1 million due to other cost savings, and a $1.3 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales.
    • Adjusted operating loss was $9.6 million compared to $18.7 million last year, primarily driven by improved gross margins and lower operating expenses.
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations was $4.9 million compared to $14.8 million last year.

Nine-Months Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Nine-Months Ended December 31, 2021

  • Net sales were $218.4 million, compared to $469.8 million, a decline of 53.5% versus last year. Net sales are up 13% when compared to the same period in fiscal 2020, excluding sales related to the Octane brand, which was sold in October 2020. The sales decline versus last year is driven primarily by the return to pre-pandemic seasonal demand and pre-pandemic sales discounting practices, as our typical sales discounts were largely unnecessary during the pandemic period.
  • Gross profit was $41.3 million, compared to $127.5 million last year. Gross profit margins were 18.9% compared to 27.1% last year. The 8.2 ppt decrease in gross margins was primarily due to increased discounting (-5 ppts), unfavorable logistics overhead absorption (-4 ppts), increased investments in JRNY® (-2 ppts), and higher outbound freight (-1 ppt), partially offset by a decrease in product costs (+4 ppts).
  • Operating expenses were $117.1 million compared to $130.9 million last year. The decrease of $13.8 million, or 10.5%, was primarily due to a $28.0 million decrease in media spending, a $6.6 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales, a decrease of $6.5 million due to savings in other operating expenses, and a $4.7 million prior year loss contingency for a legal settlement, partially offset by a goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $27.0 million and a $5.0 million increase in JRNY® investments. Total advertising expenses were $18.3 million versus $46.3 million last year.
  • Operating loss was $75.8 million or a negative 34.7% operating margin, compared to an operating loss of $3.4 million last year, primarily driven by lower gross profit and a goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $27.0 million.
  • Income tax expense was $8.6 million this year compared to a $1.3 million tax benefit last year. The income tax expense in the current year was primarily the result of the $20.6 million U.S. deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
  • Loss from continuing operations was $86.6 million, or $2.75 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $4.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, last year.
  • Net loss was $84.5 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $4.2 million or $0.14 per diluted share, last year.
  • The following statements exclude the impact of non-cash impairment charges1 related to the carrying value of our goodwill and intangible assets for the nine-months ended December 31, 2022 and the impact of legal settlement and acquisition and other related costs1 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.
    • Adjusted operating expenses were $88.2 million compared to $124.5 million last year. The $36.3 million or 29.2% decrease was driven by $28.0 million lower media spending, a $6.6 million decrease in other variable selling and marketing expenses due to decreased sales, a decrease of $6.5 million due to savings in other operating expenses, partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in JRNY® investments.
    • Adjusted operating loss was $46.9 million compared to a loss of $2.9 million last year, driven by lower gross profit.
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations was $34.1 million compared to income of $13.5 million last year.

  • Inventory was $77.3 million, down 30% compared to $111.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and down 40% versus the same quarter last year.

  • Trade receivables were $42.7 million, compared to $61.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The decrease in trade receivables was primarily due to lower sales.

Forward Looking Guidance

The following forward-looking statements reflect the Company's full fiscal year 2023 expectations as of February 9, 2023 and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Full Year 2023

  • The Company expects full year revenue of about $270 million compared to the previous range of $315 million to $365 million. The decline in revenue is primarily due to lower expectations in the Retail segment.
  • The Company now expects full year Adjusted EBITDA1 loss (excluding restructuring costs) to be approximately $50 million compared to the prior range of Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss of between $30 million and $40 million.
  • The Company is targeting JRNY® Members to be approximately 500,000 at March 31, 2023.



    (1) We provide Adjusted EBITDA guidance, rather than net income guidance, due to the inherent unpredictability of forecasting certain types of expenses such as stock-based compensation and income tax expenses, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA. We are unable to reasonably estimate the impact of such expenses, if any, on net income. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of a reconciliation. Accordingly, we do not provide a reconciliation of projected net income to projected Adjusted EBITDA.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Presentation

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.

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). Management believes these measures are also useful to investors as these are the same metrics that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Nautilus strongly encourages investors to review all its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s performance.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. We require regular capital expenditures including technology improvements to automate processes, engage with customers, and optimize our supply chain. We use this metric internally, as we believe our sustained ability to generate free cash flow is an important driver of value creation. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.

Adjusted Results

In addition to disclosing the comparable GAAP results, Nautilus has presented its operating expenses and operating (loss) income on an adjusted basis to exclude certain non-recurring items, including the non-cash charge related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment(1), the legal settlement(2), and acquisition and other related costs(3). The Company believes that excluding these items, which are inconsistent in amount and frequency, supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. Nautilus has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, excluding the aforementioned items for similar reasons.

Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations

Nautilus has also presented EBITDA from continuing operations on an adjusted basis, to exclude the non-cash charge related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment(1), the legal settlement(2), and acquisition and other related costs(3), depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation and other net expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important measure as it allows the company to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The Company believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of operating results to prior periods and to peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. The Company excludes other expenses, net that are the result of factors and can vary significantly from one period to the next, we believe that exclusion of such other expenses are useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis.

We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

(1) Goodwill and intangible impairment charge

In accordance with ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, an entity is required to perform goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names impairment valuations annually, or sooner if triggering events are identified. We observed continued market volatility including significant declines in our market capitalization during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, which we identified as a triggering event. In response to the triggering event, we performed an interim evaluation and a market capitalization reconciliation during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which resulted in non-cash goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charges.

(2) Legal Settlement
