fuboTV Reaches One Million Subscribers

Live TV Streaming Platform Delivered Record $156.7M Revenue and Reached 944,605 Total Subscribers in Q3 2021; Raises 2021 Guidance

fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, since the quarter ended, fuboTV reached the significant milestone of one million total paid subscribers.

The company delivered triple-digit year-over-year growth during the third quarter in total paid subscribers (up 108% to 944,605), total revenue (up 156% to $156.7 million) and advertising revenue (up 147% to $18.6 million). Viewership hours reached record highs with fuboTV customers streaming 284 million hours of content during the quarter, a 113% increase year-over-year. fuboTV also added 262,884 net subscribers during the quarter.

Complete third quarter 2021 results are detailed in fuboTV’s shareholder letter available on the company’s IR site.

fuboTV also increased revenue and subscriber guidance for the full year 2021.

“fuboTV’s record third quarter 2021 results again showcase consistent strong execution in support of our company mission and continued traction towards our long-term growth and margin targets,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, fuboTV. “The company delivered record results during the third quarter of 2021, growing total revenue by 156%, increasing advertising revenue by 147% and delivering subscriber growth of 108%, each compared to the prior year period. Additionally, we added 262,884 net subscribers in the third quarter - more subscribers than added throughout all of 2020.”

Gandler continued: “fuboTV’s achievement of hitting the one million subscriber mark since the third quarter ended is an extraordinary milestone by any measure but particularly remarkable given the momentum of our business over six short years. To put this in perspective, as of the end of the second quarter 2020, we had approximately 286,000 subscribers. And, even at the one million subscriber mark, we believe we are still just scratching the surface of the massive opportunity ahead of us with 72.6 million subscribers still active on traditional pay television.”

“The one million subscriber milestone represents an exciting inflection point in our business, with tremendous implications for revenue growth and profitability, particularly given the continued strength of our advertising business,” said Edgar Bronfman Jr., executive chairman, fuboTV. “I am thrilled about the evolution of fuboTV in such a short period of time. There is so much more to come as we track towards defining a new category of interactive sports and entertainment television.”

Gandler and CFO Simone Nardi will host a live video webcast today at 5:30 p.m. ET to deliver brief remarks followed by Q&A. The live webcast will be available on the Events page of fuboTV’s investor relations website.
