Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words, variations of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, including, without limitation, the following:
our dependence on the operational and financial results of, and our relationships with, our         franchisees and the success of their new and existing studios;
our ability to protect our brand and reputation;
our ability to identify, recruit and contract with a sufficient number of qualified franchisees;
our ability to execute our growth strategy, including through development of new studios by new and existing franchisees;
our ability to execute and achieve the benefits of our recent restructuring initiative and other cost saving measures
our ability to manage our growth and the associated strain on our resources;
our ability to identify, source and procure components of our inventories on a timely basis and at attractive economics terms;
our ability to successfully integrate any acquisitions, or realize their anticipated benefits;
the high level of competition in the health and fitness industry;
economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict;
changes to the industry in which we operate;
our reliance on information systems and our and our franchisees’ ability to properly maintain the confidentiality and integrity of our data;
the occurrence of cyber incidents or a deficiency in our cybersecurity protocols;
our and our franchisees’ ability to attract and retain members;
our and our franchisees’ ability to identify and secure suitable sites for new franchise studios;
risks related to franchisees generally;
our ability to obtain third-party licenses for the use of music to supplement our workouts;
certain health and safety risks to members that arise while at our studios;
our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property;
risks associated with the use of social media platforms in our marketing;
our ability to obtain and retain high-profile strategic partnership arrangements;
our ability to comply with existing or future franchise laws and regulations;
our ability to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences and shifting views of health and fitness;
our business model being susceptible to litigation; and
additional factors discussed in our SEC filings, including those identified under the header “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 73 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on historical performance, management’s current expectations and projections about future events and trends that management believes may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects in light of information currently available to us.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward- looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking
iii


statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

(unaudited)

Note 1—Nature of the business and basis of presentation

Organization

F45 Training Holdings Inc. (“F45 Training Holdings,” the “Company,” or “F45”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 12, 2019 as a C-Corp. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in franchising and licensing the F45 Training brand to fitness facilities in multiple countries across the globe.

Transaction with MWIG LLC (“MWIG”)

On March 15, 2019, MWIG, a special purpose private investment fund vehicle led by FOD Capital LLC, a family office investment fund, and Mark Wahlberg, made a minority preferred investment in the Company. On March 15, 2019, F45 Training Holdings, MWIG and Flyhalf Acquisition Company Pty Ltd, a newly incorporated wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of F45 Training Holdings, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with F45 Aus Hold Co Pty Ltd (“F45 Aus Hold Co”) and its existing stockholders pursuant to which F45 Training Holdings became the ultimate parent of F45 Aus Hold Co and its subsidiaries. Upon the consummation of the transaction with MWIG, the existing stockholders and MWIG held 72.5% and 27.5% ownership interests, respectively, in the Company and, its wholly-owned subsidiaries. On December 30, 2020, MWIG converted 1,145,568 shares of preferred stock of the Company into 3,181,514 shares of common stock of the Company and sold those shares of common stock to affiliates of L1 Capital Fund, an Australian based global fund manager. See Note 18—Convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) for further discussion.

Pursuant to the SPA and in return for acquiring 100% of the shares in F45 Aus Hold Co, F45 Training Holdings issued 29,000,000 shares of common stock to the existing stockholders of F45 Aus Hold Co proportionate to their relative ownership of the common stock of F45 Aus Hold Co and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result of this transaction, there was no change in control. All references to shares in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein, including but not limited to the number of shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted, have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the transaction retrospectively as of the earliest period presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 19, 2021, the Company completed its IPO of 20,312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00005 par value per share at an offering price of $16.00 per share. The Company sold 18,750,000 shares and one of the Company’s existing stockholders sold an aggregate of 1,562,500 shares. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $277.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs. Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation and its bylaws authorizing an increase of capital stock to 215,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00005 per share.

Upon completion of the IPO, 9,854,432 shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding with a carrying value of $98.5 million were automatically converted into an aggregate of 27,368,102 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible notes were converted into an aggregate of 14,847,066 shares of common stock. Following the completion of the IPO, the Company only has outstanding common stock.

On August 13, 2021, the underwriters in the Company’s IPO exercised in part their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 307,889 shares of the Company’s common stock from the Company and to purchase an additional 1,231,555 shares of the Company’s common stock from the selling stockholder at a public offering price of $16.00 per share. The over-allotment sale was consummated on August 17,
7


2021 and the Company received $4.6 million in net proceeds from the purchase of the additional 307,889 shares after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and utilized the net proceeds for continuing operations and to pay expenses related to the offering.

Joint Venture with Club Sports Group LLC

On May 16, 2022, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture with Club Sports Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CSG”), to, among other things, make, hold and monetize certain loans to prospective franchisees of the Company who have prior military service, with such loans secured by first priority senior liens on the equity interests of such franchisees and all or substantially all of the assets of such franchisee and its subsidiaries (if applicable). The joint venture will be conducted through FAFC LLC, a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company (“FAFC”). CSG is an affiliate of Kennedy Lewis Management LP, a significant stockholder of the Company which beneficially owns directly or indirectly through funds it manages, as of the date hereof, in excess of 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and has the right to designate a member of the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2022, no activity has occurred through FAFC.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting, and include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable required disclosures and regulations of the SEC. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Key estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation of long-lived assets, internally developed software, amortization of intangible assets, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative instruments, warrant liability, fair value of stock-based awards, and accounting for income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

The Company currently funds its operations and growth primarily from cash on hand, credit facilities, and operating cash flow. The ability of the Company to grow and be competitive in the marketplace is dependent on the availability of adequate capital. Access to capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flows and the availability of and access to debt and equity financing. The Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations. While we believe that our cash, liquid assets, and cash generated by operating cash flows will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due in the twelve months
8


subsequent to the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, changes in forecasted growth and available funds could have a further negative impact on our future liquidity.

The Company continues to manage its liquidity and could take further action, if needed, to protect its liquidity position including, but not limited to, the sale of excess inventory, entry into a borrowing facility with one or more lenders, reduction in headcount, and the reduction of promotional and professional advisory contracts. However, there can be no assurance that such matters can be implemented, if needed, on acceptable terms or at all.

Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies

There were no changes to the significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements that were disclosed in Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, other than as discussed below.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents at major financial institutions, which often exceed insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses due to such bank depository concentration. Restricted cash relates to cash held in term deposits.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable is primarily comprised of amounts owed to the Company resulting from fees due from franchisees. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collections and specific review of outstanding accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off as uncollectible when it is determined that further collection efforts will be unsuccessful.

The change in allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended September 30,For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022202120222021
Balance at beginning of period$5,756 $5,256 $8,132 $5,746 
Provision for bad debts, included in selling, general and administrative4,628 1,903 11,308 5,417 
Uncollectible receivables written off(2,202)(114)(11,258)(4,118)
Balance at end of period$8,182 $7,045 $8,182 $7,045 

One of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 22% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022. None of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, $2.0 million of long-term receivables were reported in other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. One customer accounted for approximately 20% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, and intangible assets

The Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated
9


undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on October 1 of each fiscal year or more frequently when an event or circumstance indicates that goodwill might be impaired. Generally, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If factors indicate that this is the case, the Company then estimates the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is determined to be impaired and the Company will record an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over its fair value.

The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each asset with its carrying value, with any excess of carrying value over fair value being recognized as an impairment loss. The Company is also permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying value prior to applying the quantitative assessment. If based on the Company’s qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the asset is less than its fair value, then a quantitative assessment may be required. The Company also tests for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of such indefinite-lived intangible asset has been impaired.

If impairment indicators arise with respect to finite-lived intangible assets, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, then the Company estimates the fair value of the asset and compare the estimated fair value to the intangible asset’s carrying value. The Company recognizes any shortfall from carrying value as an impairment loss in the current period.

Warrant liabilities

The Company accounts for its Immediately Exercisable Warrants and the 50% Utilization Warrants (as defined in Note 13—Warrant liabilities) under the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”). ASC 480 requires the recording of certain liabilities at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of these liabilities are recognized in earnings. The Company determined the fundamental transaction provisions required the warrants to be accounted for as a liability at fair value on the date of the transaction, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. On May 17, 2022, the holders of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants exercised the Put Option via a net share settlement, resulting in the issuance of 346,192 shares of Common Stock.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company’s contracts with customers are typically comprised of multiple performance obligations, including exclusive franchise rights to access the Company’s intellectual property to operate an F45 Training-branded fitness facility in a specific territory (franchise agreements), a material right related to discounted renewals of the franchise agreements (both reflected in franchise revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss) and equipment and merchandise. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are recorded on a net basis.

Franchise revenue

The Company’s primary performance obligation under the franchise agreement is granting certain exclusive rights to access the Company’s intellectual property to operate an F45 Training-branded fitness facility in a defined territory. This performance obligation is a right to access the Company’s intellectual property, which is satisfied ratably over the term of the franchise agreement. Renewal fees are generally recognized over the renewal term for the respective agreement from the start of the renewal period. Transfer fees are recognized over the remaining term of the franchise agreement beginning at the time of transfer.

10


Franchise agreements generally consist of an obligation to grant exclusive rights over a defined territory and may include options to renew the agreement. Earlier franchise agreements had an initial term of three years while more recent agreements have an initial term of five years. With the Company’s approval, a franchisee may transfer a franchise agreement to a new or existing franchisee, at which point a transfer fee is paid. Generally the Company’s arrangements have no financing elements as there is no difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price. Additionally, the Company has assessed that a significant amount of the costs incurred under the contract to perform are incurred up-front.

Franchise revenue consists primarily of upfront establishment fees, monthly franchise fees and other franchise-related fees. The upfront establishment fee is payable by the franchisee upon signing a new franchise agreement and monthly franchise and related fees are payable throughout the term of the franchise license. Historically, franchisees have paid a fixed monthly franchise fee. For new franchisees the franchise fee is based on the greater of a fixed monthly franchise fee or a percentage of gross monthly studio revenue.

Discounted franchise agreement renewal fees

The Company’s franchise agreements may include discounted renewal options allowing franchisees to renew at no cost or at a reduction of the initial upfront establishment fee. The resulting discount in fees at renewal provides a material right to franchisees. The Company’s obligation to provide future discounted renewals to franchisees are accounted for as separate performance obligations. The value of these material rights related to the future discount was determined by reference to the estimated franchise agreement term, which has been estimated to be 10 years, and related estimated transaction price. The estimated transaction price allocated to the franchise agreements, including the upfront establishment fee, is recognized as revenue over the estimated contract term of 10 years, which gives recognition to the renewal option containing a material right. At the end of the initial contract term, any unrecognized transaction price would be recognized during the renewal term, if exercised, or when the renewal option expires, if unexercised.

Equipment and merchandise revenue

The Company requires its franchisees to purchase fitness and technology equipment directly from the Company and payment is typically required to be made prior to the placement of the franchisees’ orders. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of ordered items, generally upon delivery to the franchisee, which is when the franchisee obtains physical possession of the goods, legal title has transferred, and the franchisee has all risks and rewards of ownership. The franchisees are charged for all freight costs incurred for the delivery of equipment. Freight revenue is recorded within equipment and merchandise revenue and freight costs are recorded within cost of equipment and merchandise revenue.

The Company is the principal in a majority of its equipment revenue transactions as the Company controls its proprietary equipment prior to delivery to the franchisee, has pricing discretion over the goods, and has primary responsibility to fulfill the franchisee order through its direct third-party vendor.

The Company is the agent in a limited number of equipment and merchandise revenue transactions where the franchisee interacts directly with third-party vendors for which the Company receives a rebate on sales directly from the vendor.

Allocation of transaction price

The Company’s contracts include multiple performance obligations—typically the franchise license, equipment and material rights for discounted renewal fees. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for these performance obligations. The Company does not sell the franchise license or World Pack equipment on a stand-alone basis (the Company’s contracts with customers almost always include both performance obligations), as such the standalone selling price of the performance obligations are not directly observable on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, the Company estimates the standalone selling prices using available information including the prices charged for each performance obligation within its contracts with customers in the relevant geographies and market conditions.
11


Individual standalone selling prices are estimated for each geographic location, primarily the United States, Australia and ROW, due to the unique market conditions of those performance obligations in each region.

Contract assets

Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled revenue where the Company is utilizing the costs incurred as the measure of progress of satisfying the performance obligation. When the contract price is invoiced, the related unbilled receivable is reclassified to trade accounts receivable, where the balance will be settled upon the collection of the invoiced amount. The unbilled receivable represents the amount expected to be billed and collected for services performed through period end in accordance with contract terms. The unbilled contract assets are principally the result of a number of multi-unit franchise agreements executed during 2021 and credits provided to studios impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract assets of $15.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in other current assets, and $22.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively, in other long-term assets. These contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of impairment charges with respect to these assets within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, the Company recognized no impairment charges with respect to these assets within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Deferred costs

Deferred costs consist of incremental costs to obtain (e.g., commissions) and fulfill (e.g., payroll costs) a contract with a franchisee. Both the incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract with a franchisee are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period if the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company reviews existing franchisee contract terminations and where terminations are identified associated contract and fulfillment costs are fully impaired. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $12.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with franchisees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in amortization of these deferred costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in amortization of these deferred costs. The amortization of these costs is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for costs to obtain a contract and cost of franchise revenue for costs to fulfill a contract in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in impairment charges with respect to these assets within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized no impairment charges with respect to these assets within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Revenue recognition—Change in estimate

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Company entered into franchise agreements that included a discount on upfront establishment fees and modified other contract terms as part of a limited-time promotional offer made exclusively to existing franchises (“limited-time promotional deals”). The Company deemed that the limited-time promotional deals did not meet the criteria of a contract at the inception of the agreement under ASC 606-10-25-1 due to the Company’s inability to determine that collectability under the agreements was probable, and as such, the Company did not begin immediately recognizing revenue upon the inception of these franchise agreements. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company assessed the limited-time promotional deals and determined the criteria of a contract under ASC 606-10-25-1 had been met and, as a result, recorded cumulative revenue of $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company noted the assessment of collectability was primarily driven by a review of post-COVID payment and collection histories for franchisees who owned multiple studios within the Company's network, system-wide sales per region,
12


and increases in post re-opening weekly visit volume and store-level gross sales volumes compared to specified periods in which the contracts were initially signed.

The Company’s United States subsidiary, F45 Training, Inc., operates in various states within the United States which require the Company to defer collection of certain fees (“the Deferred States”), including the initial establishment fees, until certain criteria are met as specified by state and local requirements. In Deferred States, the Company concluded that the deferred establishment fees represent variable consideration as receipt was subject to uncertainty due to a lack of experience with contracts requiring deferral of establishment fees and uncertainty on the length of timing between inception of an agreement and the opening of a studio. As a result, establishment fees were excluded from the transaction price upon signing of the franchise agreements within the Deferred States. The Company re-evaluates the transaction price on its Deferred States franchise agreements if there is a significant change in facts and circumstances at the end of each reporting period. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company increased the transaction price of the Deferred States contracts by $1.7 million because of an enhanced history of franchise agreements and collections history on Deferred States franchise agreements, as well as a review of post-COVID payment and collection history for similar franchisees, resulting in the recognition of an additional $1.3 million in revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Consideration from a vendor

Consideration from a vendor includes rebates that the Company can apply against the purchase price of the equipment acquired from the Company’s suppliers. Such consideration is accounted for by the Company as a reduction to the cost of sales of the related acquired equipment upon delivery to the franchisee. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of consideration from its suppliers as a reduction to the cost of sales of equipment and merchandise in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Additionally, $0.2 million of consideration from its suppliers was included as a reduction to inventory in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized no consideration from its suppliers as a reduction to the cost of sales of equipment and merchandise in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Advertising

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss totaled $2.5 million and $15.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3.0 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications and change in presentation of the statements of cash flows did not impact previously recorded loss from operations, net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company (“EGC”). The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for
13


Transition, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements, ASU No. 2019-10, Effective Dates, and ASU No. 2020-02, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to ASU 2016-02. This guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, amends various other aspects of accounting for leases by lessees and lessors, and requires enhanced disclosures. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition within the income statement. Topic 842 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Topic 842, the Company expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets upon adoption. The standard is not expected to have a material impact to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). Topic 326 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements, ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements, ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief; ASU No. 2019-10, Effective Dates, ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements, ASU No. 2020-02, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC section on Effective Date Related to ASU 2016-02, and ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The guidance will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which amends ASC 740. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by modifying the treatment of intraperiod tax allocation in certain circumstances, eliminating an exception to recognizing deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences for foreign equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries when ownership or control changes, and modifying interim period tax calculations when a loss is forecast. In addition, this ASU also requires that enacted changes in tax laws or rates be included in the annual effective rate determination in the period that includes the enactment date and clarifies the tax accounting of a step up in tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides companies with optional guidance, including expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). ASU 2020-04 is effective for the Company upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements; however, the Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2020-04 will materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

14


In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Entity (Subtopic 815-40), to clarify the accounting for modifications or exchanges of equity-classified warrants (“ASU 2021-04”). In accordance with the ASU, if there is a modification and the option is still determined to be classified as equity, the modification should be accounted for as an exchange of the original option for a new option. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update and will monitor for modifications or exchanges of the issued freestanding stock options, but at this time does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2021-04 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ended December 31, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Restructuring

On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company initiated a reduction in force, reducing its number of employees by approximately 110 employees, which represented approximately 45% of the Company’s total employees globally. This decision was made in light of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty in order to best position itself to achieve sustained growth over the near and long-term, as well as the loss of growth capital as a result of the termination of the Company’s $150 million credit agreement, dated as of May 13, 2022, with Fortress Credit Group. Additionally, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its Chief Executive Officer and amended the employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer (these actions are collectively referenced as “the Restructuring Plan”). The Company anticipates the Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete by the end of the 2022 fiscal year.

Due to the actions taken as a result of the Restructuring Plan and the revision of guidance issued in our Form 8-K filed July 26, 2022, the Company tested certain fixed and intangible assets for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows. Based on the results of the recoverability test, the Company determined that as of September 30, 2022, the undiscounted cash flows of certain asset groups were below the carrying values, indicating impairments. As a result, the assets were written down to their estimated fair value based on their expected liquidation value.

Charges incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relate to severance and personnel costs which includes employee termination costs, costs associated the separation agreement signed between the Company and former Chief Executive Officer Adam J. Gilchrist, and costs incurred associated with the amendment to the employment agreement between the Company and Chief Financial Officer Chris Payne; financing related charges associated with the termination of the Company’s $150 million credit agreement (“the Fortress credit facility”), dated as of May 13, 2022 with a newly created subsidiary of the Company, F45 SPV Finance Company, LLC as “Borrower” and Fortress Credit Group, as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender; professional fees incurred as a result of the restructuring; and impairment charges associated with the write-off of assets. These charges were partially offset by a change in in fair value on outstanding warrant liabilities issued in conjunction with the Fortress credit facility.

The following table presents a summary of restructuring related charges incurred for the periods presented:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company began moving into the Austin, Texas headquarters and partially placed the related assets into service.

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Depreciation expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 6—Acquisitions

Acquisition of Surf & Turf Holdings Pty Ltd (“Vive Active” or “Vive”)

On October 29, 2021, Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Vive Active. Vive Active, located in Australia, provides Pilates classes through its online platform and its studios. The consideration exchanged for the acquisition amounts to $7.5 million (50% cash up front and 50% deferred cash paid no later than 6 months after completion and which is not subject to any other conditions). The stock acquisition was a strategic transaction to leverage Vive’s intellectual property, content, and expertise to supplement the Company’s brands, to expand the Company’s corporate footprint across Australia and key global markets, and to leverage Vive management team’s experience in developing corporate-owned studios.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred at the date of acquisition, as well as the calculation of goodwill based on the excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired (in thousands):

Net assets acquired2,726 
Goodwill$4,776 

The creation of goodwill in this transaction was the result of the expected growth in future cash flows and cost savings to be derived from economies of scale of combining Vive’s assets and workforce to the Company’s business operations. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The acquired intangible assets consist of the following:

Useful Life (in years)Fair Value as of October 29, 2021
Brand nameIndefinite$418 
Software6485 
Customer contracts71,238 
Total$2,141 

The fair values of the customer contracts and brand name were based on multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods, respectively. The fair value of the software was based on replacement cost method. Such methods are widely-accepted valuation techniques, which inherently use critical assumptions such as future revenue growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates.

Vive was consolidated into the condensed consolidated financial statements starting on the acquisition date of October 29, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, $0.7 million and less than $0.1 million of the Company’s consolidated revenue and consolidated net loss, respectively, was attributable to Vive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $2.1 million and $0.1 million of the Company’s consolidated revenue and consolidated net loss, respectively, was attributable to Vive.

The Company has not disclosed pro forma information of the combined business as the transaction is not material to the Company’s consolidated revenue or consolidated net loss.

Acquisition of Flywheel Sports, Inc. (“Flywheel”)

In April 2021, the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement with FW SPV II LLC (“FW SPV”), a Delaware limited liability company, regarding certain intellectual property previously owned by Flywheel Sports, Inc. (“Flywheel IP”). The license agreement is for a period of five years at a rate of $5.0 million per year. The Company initially recorded $20.8 million of intangible assets when the license
18


agreement became effective in April 2021 based on the present value of the annual payments throughout the term of the license agreement.

On July 19, 2021, after the consummation of the IPO, the Company acquired certain assets of the Flywheel indoor cycling studio business for $25.0 million in cash consideration, effectively transferring control of the assets to the Company and terminating the license agreement entered into in April 2021. The acquisition was accounted as an asset acquisition. On the acquisition date, the Company reversed the net carrying amount of $19.8 million of intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization of $0.8 million, and $20.6 million of the related liability that was initially recorded under the license agreement, resulting in a decrease to the cash consideration transferred by $0.8 million. The net purchase consideration of $24.2 million was allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis, which primarily consisted of the client relationship management (“CRM”) software and trade names. The CRM software is amortized on a straight-line basis over 9 years, while the trade names have an indefinite life.

Total intangible assets, net$34,242 $5,900 $28,342 $31,709 $3,263 $28,446 

The amortization expense of intangible assets was approximately $1.1 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The weighted average remaining life of internal-use software was 2.4 years and 1.6 years as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The weighted average remaining life of acquired software was 4.4 years and 4.8 years as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were the result of foreign currency translation adjustments and the acquisition of a corporate-owned studio.

The Company assesses potential impairment of its amortizable intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, management identified qualitative factors that collectively indicated the Company had a triggering event in which the carrying amount may not be recoverable, including (i) revision of forward guidance (ii) a reduction in force implemented by the Company and (iii) a sustained decrease in the Company stock price. As a result of the quantitative assessment, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021

As of September 30, 2022, the expected amortization of intangible assets for future periods, excluding those assets not yet placed in service as of September 30, 2022, is as follows (in thousands):

Note 10—Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue results from establishment fees paid by franchisees at the outset of the contract term and the value of material rights related to discounted renewal options as well as equipment fees paid by franchisees prior to the transfer of the equipment. The following tables reflect the change in deferred revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Deferred revenue expected to be recognized within one year from the balance sheet date is classified as current, and the remaining balance is classified as non-current. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted franchise and equipment revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue recognized as revenue in future periods. Total contract revenues from franchisees yet to be recognized as revenue was $177.5 million as of September 30, 2022, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 24% of the revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

Note 11—Debt

Subordinated Convertible Debt Agreement

On October 6, 2020, the Company entered into a subordinated convertible debt agreement (the “Convertible Notes”), whereby the Company issued $100 million of Convertible Notes to certain holders maturing on September 30, 2025. The Convertible Notes had an annual interest rate of 8.28%, which accrues as paid-in-kind through the duration of the contract. Repayment of principal and accrued interest was payable in cash or shares of the Company upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events or at the end of the contract term. Interest accrued over the term of the debt and was payable upon repayment at maturity or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

As a part of the subordinated convertible debt agreement, the Company identified embedded derivatives that require bifurcation under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, relating to the contingent conversion option, payment of liquidation, default payment and prepayment options. See Note 12—Derivative instruments for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for these embedded derivatives.

In conjunction with the IPO on July 15, 2021, the outstanding Convertible Notes of $106.3 million of principal and interest were converted into 14,847,066 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $16.00.

Subordinated Second Lien Term Loan

On October 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Second Lien Term Loan (“Subordinated Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders which committed the lenders to provide $125 million of financing to the Company in exchange for a note payable. This agreement matured over a five-year period that carried a Paid-In Kind (“PIK”) Interest rate of 13.00%. PIK Interest accrued over the term of the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The Subordinated Credit Agreement had a maturity date of October 5, 2025.
In connection with the Subordinated Credit Agreement, the Company paid the lenders approximately $3.8 million in fees. Similarly, the Company paid third parties fees of approximately $1.0 million. The Company determined that all fees paid to the lenders and third parties would result in a reduction of the
22


initial carrying amount. The Company amortized the debt discount and debt issuance costs into interest expense utilizing the effective interest method.

On July 19, 2021, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness and terminated all commitments and obligations under the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The Company used proceeds from its IPO to repay $150.5 million under the terms of the Subordinated Credit Agreement, inclusive of a prepayment penalty of $3.8 million and penalty of six months of advanced interest for $9.3 million as a result of the repayment of indebtedness or termination of the Subordinated Credit Agreement.

First Lien Loan

The Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement, dated as of September 18, 2019 (the “Secured Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Australian Security Trustee, Lender, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, consisting of a $20.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $30.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”). Initial borrowings of $30.0 million from the Term Facility and $11.9 million of the availability under the Revolving Facility were used to repay, in full, amounts due to common stockholders as a result of the MWIG transaction. See Note 18—Convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) for further discussion. The remaining availability under the Revolving Facility may be drawn and used for general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain operating subsidiaries of the Company and secured by a majority of the Company’s assets. The Revolving Facility may be prepaid and terminated by the Company at any time without premium or penalty (subject to customary LIBOR breakage fees). The Term Facility bore interest at floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.5 percent.

On June 23, 2020, the Company amended the Secured Credit Agreement to allow it to enter into a definitive agreement with a special purpose acquisition corporation. On October 6, 2020, the Company amended the agreement a second time. Through the second amendment, the Company agreed to convert $8,000,000 of the amount outstanding on the Revolving Facility to be part of the Term Facility. In addition to converting a portion of the Revolving Facility to the Term Facility, the Company agreed to repay $5,000,000 of the principal amount of the Revolving Facility outstanding. The interest rate of both the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility were amended to 4.00% and 3.00% for Eurodollar loans and letters of credit, and ABR Loans, respectively.

On July 19, 2021, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness and terminated all commitments and obligations under the Term Facility. The Company used proceeds from its IPO to repay the Term Facility and Revolving Facility in the amount of $31.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which amends and restates the Secured Credit Agreement dated September 18, 2019. The Credit Agreement provides for a $90 million five-year senior secured revolving facility (“Facility”). The Credit Agreement also provides that, under certain circumstances, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $35 million. The proceeds from the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to either, at the Company’s election, the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.50% per annum, or base rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.50%, in each case depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio.

As a result of the amendment, the Company modified the existing covenant under the Secured Credit Agreement. The total leverage ratio was modified such that the Company is required to maintain a total leverage ratio, of less than 3.00 to 1.00.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company paid lender and third-party fees of $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, associated with the amendment. The Company concluded that the amendment resulted in a modification of debt rather than a debt extinguishment. As such, the Company determined that all fees incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement would be deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement.
23



On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, certain terms of the Credit Agreement were amended to permit the execution of the credit agreement dated as of May 13, 2022 between the Company and Fortress Credit Group (including establishing the securitization of the franchisee loans described below) and the issuance of warrants pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement (See Note 13—Warrant liabilities).

The outstanding balance of the Facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $88.1 million and $0, respectively. The unamortized debt issuance cost in connection to the Facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The availability on the Facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0.3 million and $88.5 million, respectively.

In connection with the Facility, the Lender has issued standby letters of credit on behalf of the Company associated with our corporate headquarters. The outstanding commitments under these letters of credit as of September 30, 2022 totaled $1.6 million, of which $0.1 million has expiration dates in less than one year and $1.5 million has an expiration date greater than one year. The amount of borrowings available at any time under the Facility is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding.

On July 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Waiver Under Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Waiver”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and Australian Security Trustee. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Waiver, certain lenders party to the Credit Agreement have agreed to waive certain defaults under the Credit Agreement related to cross-default provisions associated with required minimum market capitalization thresholds under the Company’s Fortress Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants on the Secured Credit Agreement.

Fortress Credit Facility

The Company entered into a credit agreement, dated as of May 13, 2022 (the “New Credit Agreement”), with a newly created subsidiary of the Company, F45 SPV Finance Company, LLC as “Borrower” and Fortress Credit Group (“Fortress”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender, consisting of a $150 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) seven-year credit facility (the “New Facility”). The Maximum Committed Amount may be increased to $300 million in certain circumstances under the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company enter into a limited guaranty, guaranteeing the Company’s obligations under the New Facility, in an amount not to exceed 10% of the total New Facility size. The proceeds from the New Facility will be used by the Borrower to purchase loans made by another subsidiary of the Company, F45 Intermediate Holdco, LLC, to certain franchisees of the Company (the “Receivables”). The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by the Receivables. Amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to the amount of interest received by the Company from each franchisee loan agreement.

The covenants of the New Credit Agreement include negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens and make certain acquisitions, investments, asset dispositions and restricted payments. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain certain market capitalization levels. During July 2022, the Company determined it was no longer in compliance with covenants requiring minimum market capitalization thresholds in the New Credit Agreement. Subsequently, on August 14, 2022, F45 SPV Finance Company, LLC, delivered a notice to Fortress, as administrative agent, terminating its New Credit Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2022, by and among the Borrower, the Company and Fortress, as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender. There were no borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Agreement at the time of termination.

In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a warrant purchase agreement with certain affiliates of Fortress, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to issue warrants in up to
24


four tranches, each representing 1.25% of the fully diluted shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the issue date of the warrants (see Note 13—Warrant liabilities). As a result of issuance of the warrants, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants of approximately $8.9 million issued in connection with the New Credit Agreement would be deferred and amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. The Company recorded additional debt issuance costs for fees paid to lenders and third parties of approximately $2.9 million. As a result of the termination of the New Credit Agreement on August 14, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $11.5 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 associated with the write-off of debt issuance costs incurred on the New Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company recorded additional charges of approximately $2.5 million associated with fees incurred with termination of the New Credit Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

PPP Loan

On April 10, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $2.1 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses to help sustain its employee payroll costs, rent, and utilities due to the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Loans obtained through the PPP are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes, which include the payment of payroll costs, interest on covered mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility payments. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria. In June 2020, Congress passed the Payroll Protection Program Flexibility Act that made several significant changes to PPP loan provisions, including providing greater flexibility for loan forgiveness.

The Company used the proceeds from the PPP loan to fund payroll costs in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. The Company followed the government guidelines and tracking costs to ensure full forgiveness of the loan. To the extent it was not forgiven, the Company would have been required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of 1.5 years, beginning November 2020 with a final installment in April 2025.

During the third quarter of 2021, the outstanding balance on the PPP loan including interest was forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Company is subject to examination by the SBA as the total loan forgiveness exceeds the $2.0 million threshold.

Interest expense

Interest expense recorded on the debt facilities was $1.2 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $42.1 million and $59.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

The weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2022 was 5.58%. There was no outstanding debt as of December 31, 2021.

Note 12—Derivative instruments
Interest rate swap
The Company is subject to interest rate volatility with regard to existing debt. From time to time, the Company enters into swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

On October 25, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract (the “Swap Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. to fix the interest rate on the Term Facility over the life of the loan. The notional amount of the swap covers the entire $30.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Term Facility. Under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Term Facility, which formerly accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%, started effectively accruing interest on the effective date (October 30, 2019) at a fixed rate of 1.74% on an annualized basis.
25



To hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in benchmark interest rates, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to debt issuances. The swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge. The derivative's gain or loss is recorded in other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified to interest expense over the life of the related debt.

The Company recognized an unrealized loss of less than $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of $0.2 million on this instrument during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The respective unrealized loss and unrealized gain have been presented within other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On July 21, 2021, in connection with the repayment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Subordinated Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the swap agreement. The Company paid $0.5 million to terminate the Swap Agreement.

Convertible notes

In October 2020, the Company entered into a subordinated convertible debt agreement (the “Convertible Notes”) as discussed in Note 11—Debt, whereby the Company issued $100 million of
convertible notes to certain holders maturing on September 30, 2025. These notes can be converted
into common shares of the Company at the holders’ option. The Company has analyzed the
conversion and redemption features of the agreement and determined that certain of the embedded
features should be bifurcated and classified as derivatives. The Company has bifurcated the following
embedded derivatives: (i) Liquidity Event Conversion Option; (ii) Liquidity Event Redemption Option;
and (iii) Qualified Public Offering (“QPO”) Redemption Option.

The $27.8 million initial fair value of the embedded derivatives for the Convertible Notes was
recorded as a debt discount along with a corresponding liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The initial debt discount is not subsequently re-valued and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Convertible Notes. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the derivative liabilities were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as non-current as the Company was not required to net cash settle within 12 months of the balance sheet date and were marked-to-market at each reporting period.

As discussed in Note 11—Debt, in connection with the IPO, outstanding Convertible Notes of $106.3 million, including principal and interest, were converted into 14,847,066 shares of common stock.

Note 13—Warrant liabilities

In conjunction with the New Facility with Fortress, on May 13, 2022, the Company issued (i) immediately exercisable warrants (“Immediately Exercisable Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,211,210 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) warrants that will become exercisable on the date on which loans in an amount equal to 50% of the Maximum Committed Amount (as in effect on the date any warrant is issued) have been drawn under the New Credit Agreement (“50% Utilization Warrants” and together with the Immediately Exercisable Warrants, the “Warrants”) (the date a 50% Utilization Warrant becomes exercisable upon reaching required utilization levels under the New Facility, a “Vesting Date”) to purchase up to 1.25% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock as of the Vesting Date.

The exercise price of the Warrants is $16.00 per share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment as defined within the warrant purchase agreement. The Warrants will be exercisable from the date of issuance (in the case of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants) or their Vesting Date (in the case of the 50% Utilization Warrants) until the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance of each Warrant, may only be exercised on a cashless net exercise basis, and are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events such as a distribution, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar event.

Each holder of the Warrants will also have the right to put back the Warrants to the Company (the “Put Option”) at an aggregate price (the “Aggregate Put Price”) equal to the product of (a) such holder’s percentage share of $2.5 million (calculated based on the number of Warrants issued to such holder relative to the number of Warrants issued to all holders) and (b) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Warrants for which the Put Option is being exercised divided by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Warrants issued to the holder as of the issue date of the Warrant (in the case of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants) or the Vesting Date (in the case of the 50% Utilization Warrants). The Aggregate Put Price will be settled (i) within the first twelve months after the issue date (in the case of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants) or the Vesting Date (in the case of the 50% Utilization Warrants), solely in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the Share Issuance Cap (as defined herein) and certain limitations on beneficial ownership of the holders (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), based on a trailing volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) or (ii) after the twelve month anniversary of the issue date (in the case of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants) or the Vesting Date (in the case of the 50% Utilization Warrants), in cash or shares of Common Stock based on a trailing VWAP, at the holder’s option, and subject to the Share Issuance Cap and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Put Option would exceed the Share Issuance Cap or the Beneficial Ownership Limitations with respect to a holder, a cash payment will be made in lieu of delivery of such excess shares of Common Stock.

The Immediately Exercisable Warrants and the 50% Utilization Warrants issued do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore must be recorded as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, respectively. The liability for these Warrants was recorded at fair value on the date of the issuance of the Warrants and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings.

The fair value of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants and the 50% Utilization Warrants was calculated using a Binomial Lattice model. The following are the assumptions used in calculating fair value on the date of issuance:

Trading price of common stock on measurement date$6.52 
Exercise price$16.00 
Risk-free interest rate2.93 %
Warrant life in years7.0 years
Expected volatility50.00 %
Expected dividend yield$— 
Put price (per share)$2.06 
Expected Vesting Date(1)
5/31/2024
(1) The expected vesting date criteria is only relevant in the calculation of the fair value of the 50% Utilization Warrant as the Immediately Exercisable Warrant vested at issuance.

On May 17, 2022, holders of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants exercised the Put Option via a net share settlement, resulting in the issuance of 346,192 shares of Common Stock.

Due to the termination of the New Credit Agreement on August 14, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $4.5 million associated with the termination of the 50% Utilization Warrants in change in fair value - warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the termination of the New Credit Agreement, no warrants were outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

Note 14—Fair value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are based on a fair value hierarchy, based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. These estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

The warrant liabilities (see Note 13—Warrant liabilities) and promotional agreements (see Note 17—Commitments and contingencies) are Level 3 instruments and use internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Such inputs include risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and expected vesting date. These Level 3 liabilities generally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate, expected vesting date, and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities generally increase (decrease) in value if the expected volatility were to increase (decrease).

Note 15—Income taxes

For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full-year income and the related income tax expense/benefit for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences or the estimated level of annual pre-tax income can affect the effective tax rate. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.

29


Provision (benefit) for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was $14.0 million and $20.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The benefit for income taxes was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the provision for income taxes was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of (28.60)% differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the valuation allowance recorded against all of the deferred tax assets of F45 Training Inc., withholding taxes, state taxes, the foreign tax rate differential and by current period losses incurred by F45 Holdings Inc. not benefited due to its full valuation allowance. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of (0.35)% differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, the foreign tax rate differential, and by current period losses incurred by F45 Holdings Inc. not benefited due to its full valuation allowance.

If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount previously accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, and the Company adjusts the accruals and disclosures accordingly. The Company does not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

On December 17, 2021, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Timothy Kennedy (“TK”). Pursuant to this agreement, effective December 30, 2021, Timothy Kennedy will provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for annual compensation and $0.1 million of the Company’s Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) for each 12-month period of service. RSAs will vest 100% upon each of the first four one-year anniversaries of the services being provided. The agreement between the Company and TK terminates on December 16, 2026. The Company determined that the RSAs granted to TK are equity-classified awards. The stock-based compensation expense related to the RSAs is recognized ratably over the requisite service period in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 18—Convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit)
Issuance of convertible preferred stock and common stock

In connection with the transaction with MWIG described in Note 1—Nature of the business and basis of presentation, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and authorized 108,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00005 and 11,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 97,315,803 and 95,806,063 shares of common stock, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no shares of convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.

As part of the transaction with MWIG and in return for Flyhalf Acquisition Company Pty Ltd acquiring 100% of the shares in F45 Aus Hold Co, the Company issued 58,000,000 shares of its common stock to F45 Aus Hold Co’s existing stockholders. In addition, Flyhalf Acquisition Company Pty Ltd made a payment to F45 Aus Hold Co’s existing stockholders of $100 million.

The payment of $100 million was funded by MWIG, subscribing for 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $10.00 per share in the Company. This amount was ultimately paid to F45 Aus Hold Co’s existing stockholders pro rata in proportion to their interests in F45 Aus Hold Co. Further, Flyhalf Acquisition Company Pty Ltd issued $50.0 million secured promissory notes to F45 Aus Hold Co’s existing stockholders pro rata in proportion to their interests in F45 Aus Hold Co (the “Sellers Notes”). The $100.0 million payment, $50.0 million Sellers Notes and related interest thereon have been recorded as a dividend in the consolidated statements of changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit during the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to the initial issue of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, MWIG was granted an option to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock for $10.00 per share under the Share Purchase Agreement. The $10.0 million in funds raised by the issue of the additional Preferred Stock were used in full to partially settle the outstanding Sellers Notes.

On December 30, 2020, MWIG converted 1,145,568 shares of preferred stock of the Company
into 3,181,514 shares of common stock of the Company and sold those shares of common stock to affiliates of L1 Capital Fund, an Australian based global fund manager.

The rights and features of the Company’s preferred stock are as follows:

Dividends

The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than stock dividends) unless the holders of the preferred stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of preferred stock in an amount at least equal to the product of (1) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into common stock and (2) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a share of preferred stock.

Liquidation

Upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to the greater of (1) preferred stock issue price per share for such preferred stock, as adjusted to reflect any combination or subdivision, stock dividend or other similar recapitalization, plus declared but unpaid dividends, if any, on such shares, and (2) the amount per share of common stock to which the holder would be entitled had all outstanding Preferred Stock shares been converted to common stock immediately before the distribution. After the distributions or payments to the holders of preferred stock have been paid in full, the entire remaining assets and funds, if any, will be distributed ratably among the holders of common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them.

Conversion

The holder of each share of preferred stock has the option to convert the share at any time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock that results from dividing the preferred stock issue price for the preferred stock share by the preferred stock conversion price that is in effect at the time of conversion. In addition, on (i) the consummation of Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) or (ii) with the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, each share of preferred stock will be automatically converted. The preferred stock conversion price should initially be equal to the preferred stock issue price but subject to special adjustment upon either a Qualified Public Offering, a deemed liquidation event or a fair market value determination (each a “Conversion Price Adjustment Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Price Adjustment Event, the conversion price will be adjusted based on a formula, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which results in reductions to the preferred stock conversion price and additional value to the holder based on higher enterprise value; provided that in no event shall the preferred stock conversion price exceed $10.00 or be less than $7.2014 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any combination or subdivision, stock dividend or other similar recapitalization).

Voting rights

The holders of preferred, on an as-converted basis, and common stock vote together as a single class, except with respect to certain matters specified in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that require the separate approval of the holders of preferred stock.

The Company classified the preferred stock in temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99 because the preferred stock is redeemable for cash or other assets of the Company upon a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) that are not solely within the control of the Company. The net carrying amount of the preferred stock is not
37


currently accreted to a redemption value because the preferred stock is not currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable in the future.

In July 2021, due to the completion of a public offering, all preferred stock outstanding was automatically converted into an aggregate of 27,368,102 shares of common stock with a conversion price of $16.00. There were no shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 19—Stock-based compensation

Issuance of restricted stock units

In connection with the transaction with MWIG described in Note 1—Nature of the business and basis of presentation, on March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Mark Wahlberg (“Mr. Wahlberg”), a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and an investor in MWIG, pursuant to which Mr. Wahlberg agreed to provide promotional services to the Company. In exchange for the agreed upon services provided in the promotional agreement, the Company issued 2,738,648 restricted stock units (RSUs) to Mr. Wahlberg.

The RSUs were to vest based on the Company attaining certain valuation thresholds upon a vesting event, defined as: (i) a deemed liquidation event or change in control; (ii) the closing of a financing transaction including the sale, issuance or redemption of the Company’s (or one of its subsidiaries) equity securities, and any initial public offering; or (iii) at any time that the Company’s common stock is publicly traded, with the Company’s equity value exceeding the following thresholds:
Company Equity Value ThresholdPotential Restricted Stock Units Vested
$1.0 billion912,882
$1.5 billion912,882
$2.0 billion912,884

The Company determined that the RSUs are equity classified awards that contained both performance (deemed liquidation event, closing of a financing transaction or the public trading of the Company’s common stock) and market conditions (achievement of prescribed Company equity values) in order for the units to vest.

On July 5, 2021, the Company approved the acceleration of Mr. Wahlberg’s RSUs such that 100% of the RSUs granted to Mr. Wahlberg are fully vested concurrent with and subject to the consummation of the IPO, effectively eliminating the market condition based on the achievement of prescribed Company equity values. The RSUs shall be settled in shares of common stock on a date determined by the Company during 2022 but no later than March 15, 2022. All remaining terms and conditions in the original promotional agreement are still applicable. The Company determined the modification of the RSUs as a Type IV modification in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, because at the modification date, both the original and modified awards were considered improbable of vesting as the performance condition has not been met on the modification date of July 5, 2021. The Company utilized the assumed initial public offering price of $16.00 per share as the modification date fair value.

In connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, the fair value of the RSUs of 2,738,648 fully vested and was recognized as compensation expense in the amount of $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company issued the fully vested RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

2021 Incentive Plan

38


The Company’s stock-based compensation plan, which became effective at the IPO date, includes equity incentive compensation plans under which three types of share-based compensation plans are granted to the employees, directors and consultants of the Company, which are stock options (SOs), RSUs and restricted stock awards (RSAs). The purpose of the plan is to assist the Company in securing and retaining the service of eligible award recipients to provide incentives to employees, directors and consultants and promote the long-term financial success of the Company and thereby increase stockholder value. In accordance with the 2021 Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive or related events, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be subject to stock awards and sold under this plan is 5,000,000 shares, or the share reserve (“Share Reserve”). Beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on January 1, 2031, the Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each year during the term of the 2021 Incentive Plan in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that the Company’s board of directors may provide that there will not be a January 1 increase in the Share Reserve in a given year or that the increase will be less than 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the preceding December 31.

Employees meeting certain employment qualifications are eligible to receive stock-based awards. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, forfeitures of SOs, RSUs and RSAs are accounted for as they occur.

Stock options

Stock options (“SOs”) granted under the incentive equity plans are generally non-statutory stock options, but the incentive equity plans permit some options granted to qualify as incentive stock options under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Stock options generally vest over one to three years from the date of grant. The exercise price of a stock option is equal to the closing price of the Company’s stock on the option grant date. The majority of stock options issued by the Company are subject to only service vesting conditions. As of December 31, 2021, the total number of shares subject to outstanding SOs was 252,737. As of September 30, 2022, the total number of shares subject to outstanding SOs was 2,370,251.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options subject to service-based vesting conditions. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure fair value were for SOs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as follows:

Weighted-average fair value (1)$1.51 
Expected volatility (2)26.70 %
Risk-free interest rate (3)
2.20% - 3.51%
Expected dividend yield (4)— 
Expected term in years
5.05 - 6.25
(1)The weighted-average fair value based on stock options granted during the period.
(2)Selected volatility is relevered equity volatility based on median asset volatility.
(3)The risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the yield on U.S. Treasury scrips.
(4)The expected dividend yield represents a constant dividend yield applied for the duration of the expected term of the award.

A summary of option activity under the employee share option plan as of September 30, 2022, and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have realized had all option holders exercised their options on the last trading day of the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and unvested options as of September 30, 2022 was $1.6 million. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $3.09 on the last trading day of the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, no options were exercised.

As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $1.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.20 years. The maximum contractual term of the SO is approximately ten years.

Restricted stock units

RSUs may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Company. The Company will set vesting criteria at its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of RSUs that will be paid out to the participant. The Company may set vesting criteria based upon the passage of time, the achievement of target levels of performance, or the occurrence of other events or any combination thereof as determined by the Company at its discretion. Dividend equivalents shall not be paid on a RSU during the period it is unvested. The RSUs granted by the Company are subject to service vesting conditions. RSUs also provide for accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as defined in the plans and related grant agreements. As of September 30, 2022, the total number of shares subject to outstanding RSUs was 3,128,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company withheld 1,045,661 shares of common stock related to net share settlement of restricted stock units vested during the prior year.

The Company uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based RSUs. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using the closing stock price on the grant date.

A summary of RSU’s activity is as follows:

The total grant date fair value of RSU vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $2.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, total recognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs was $2.5 million, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2022, total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs was $15.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.17 years. The maximum contractual term of RSUs is approximately 3.38 years.

Restricted stock awards

Subject to the terms and provisions of the plan, the Company, at any time and from time to time, may grant shares of restricted stock to service providers in such amounts as the Company, in its sole discretion, will determine. During the period of restriction, service providers holding shares of restricted stock may exercise full voting rights and will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares, unless the Company determines otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares; the shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of restricted stock with respect to which they were paid. The RSAs granted by the Company are subject to service vesting conditions. As of September 30, 2022, the total number of shares subject to outstanding RSAs was 341,880.

The Company uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based RSAs. The Company estimates the fair value of RSAs subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using the closing stock price on the grant date.

As of September 30, 2022, total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards was $1.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.70 years. The maximum contractual term of the RSAs is one year.

Non-employee promotional agreements

Liability-classified awards

As described in Note 17—Commitments and contingencies, the Company entered into promotional agreements with ABG-Shark, DB Ventures, MJE, and CDP which included RSUs that contain equity-based payments, which have performance and market conditions.

The Company determined that the RSUs are liability-classified awards that contain both performance (deemed liquidation event, closing of a financing transaction or the public trading of the Company’s common stock) and market conditions (achievement of prescribed Company equity values) in order for the units to vest. As of September 30, 2022, the market conditions have not been met on any of the non-employee promotional agreements other than those listed in Note 16 under the promotional agreement with DB Ventures. The Company began recognizing stock-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period when the performance condition was met through the achievement of the IPO on July 15, 2021.

Equity-classified awards

The promotional agreement with TK included RSAs that contain equity-based payment, which has a service condition. The Company determined that the RSAs granted to TK are equity based awards that contains a service condition to vest. The stock-based compensation expense related to the RSAs are recognized ratably over the requisite service period in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified 0.2 million shares that were improperly included in the June 30, 2022 issued share count, and the Company adjusted the issued share count presented on the condensed consolidated statement of changes in convertible preferred stock and shareholders’ equity (deficit). This adjustment was not material to the September 30, 2022 condensed consolidated financial statements or basic and diluted net loss per share.

Note 21—Segment and geographic area information

The Company’s operating segments align with how the Company manages its business and interacts with its franchisees on a geographic basis. F45 is organized by geographic region based on the Company’s strategy to become a globally recognized brand. F45 has three reportable segments: United States, Australia and Rest of World. The Company refers to “United States” as the operations in the United States and South America. The Company refers to “Australia” as the operations in Australia, New Zealand and the immediately surrounding island nations. The Company refers to “Rest of World” as the operations in locations other than the United States and Australia. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) group is comprised of two executive officers, Messrs. Adam Gilchrist and Chris Payne. Subsequent to the Company entering into a Separation Agreement with Adam Gilchrist on July 26, 2022, the Company identified a change to the CODM group. The CODM group now consists of two executive officers, Messrs. Ben Coates and Chris Payne. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit for each of the reportable segments. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue incurred by the segment.

The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis.

The following is key financial information by reportable segment which is used by management in evaluating performance and allocating resources (in thousands):

Note 22—Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2022 through November 14, 2022, the date on which the September 30, 2022 condensed consolidated financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring adjustments to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, other than as discussed below.

Master Franchise Agreement with Club Sports Group, LLC

On October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) with Club Sports Group, LLC (“Club Sports”), an affiliate of KLIM, pursuant to which the Company granted Club Sports the master franchise rights for F45 in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In exchange, the Company will receive certain fees and royalties, including a percentage of the revenue generated by Club Sports. In accordance with the agreement, F45 will assign existing franchise agreement rights to approximately 103 studios previously signed by the Company.

Lawsuit by DB Ventures Limited

On October 19, 2022, DB Ventures Limited and ABG-Shark LLC filed a complaint (Case No. 22STCV33846) against F45 Training Holdings, Inc. alleging breach of contract in connection with certain promotional agreements with David Beckham and Greg Norman, respectively. The company disputes these claims and intends to vigorously defend itself. The litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties, therefore, there can be no assurance that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the impact of the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and in other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are F45 Training, a fast growing fitness franchisor focused on creating a leading global fitness training and lifestyle brand. We primarily offer consumers functional 45-minute workouts that are effective, fun, and community-driven. Our workouts combine elements of high-intensity interval, circuit, and functional training to offer consumers what we believe is the world’s best functional training workout. We deliver our workouts through our digitally-connected global network of studios, and we have built a differentiated, technology-enabled platform that allows us to create and distribute workouts to our global franchisee base. Our platform enables the rapid scalability of our model and helps to promote the success of our franchisees. We offer our members a continuously evolving fitness program in which virtually no two workouts are ever the same. Our vast and growing library of functional training content allows us to vary workout programs to keep consumers engaged with fresh content, stay at the forefront of consumer trends and drive maximum individual results, while helping our members achieve their fitness goals.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have a significant impact on the gym and fitness industry generally, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations. Following the outbreak of the pandemic and at its initial peak, nearly all of our studios temporarily closed pursuant to local, state and federal mandates and guidelines.

As businesses have been allowed to re-open in certain jurisdictions pursuant to local and state mandates, we have worked closely with our franchisees in helping to re-open their studios subject to certain indoor capacity or other restrictions, including company-implemented health and safety policies. We have also been providing additional operating guidance to our franchisees by assisting with modifications to studio layouts and workouts to accommodate proper social distancing.

There have been frequent changes and variation in local and state regulation of the health club industry, and many local and state jurisdictions have returned to shelter in place restrictions after allowing for health club re-openings. While we are optimistic about our ability to continue to effectively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the duration or future impact of the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Segments 
    
We operate and manage our business based on geographic regions and our strategy to become a leading global fitness and lifestyle brand. We have three reportable segments: United States, Australia and Rest of World. We refer to “United States” as the operations in the United States and South America. We refer to “Australia” as our operations in Australia, New Zealand and the immediately surrounding island nations. We refer to “Rest of World” or “ROW” as our operations in locations other than those in the United States and Australian segments. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources to them based on revenue and gross profit. Revenue and gross profit for all operating segments include only transactions with external customers and do not include inter-segment transactions. The tables on the following pages summarize the financial information for our segments for
46


the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. In all other sections of this filing when we present geographic data, we are presenting such data for the named region on a stand-alone basis

Our Franchise Model

We operate a nearly 100% franchise model. We believe our franchise model is attractive due to its potential for asset-light growth, strong profitability and robust cash flow generation, and has helped to facilitate our rapid growth and strong financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we grew our footprint and experienced minimal permanent closures during 2020 and 2021, which we believe underscores the resilience of our business model. Between Q3 2022 and Q3 2021, our Total Franchises Sold increased by 22% and our Total Studios increased by 26%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same period in 2021, our revenue increased by 51%.

Notwithstanding the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe we are well positioned to continue to successfully manage through the pandemic and drive growth in the future.

Our opportunities to drive the long-term growth of our business include:

expanding our studio footprint throughout the United States, Australia, and the Rest of World (“ROW”);
growing same store sales and transitioning to a franchise fee based on the greater of a fixed monthly franchise fee or percentage of gross monthly studio revenue model;
expanding into new channels;
developing new modalities and workout programs to access new target demographics; and
driving increased member spend through ancillary product offerings.

Recent Developments

Departure of President and Chief Executive Officer

On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Adam J. Gilchrist, in conjunction with his stepping down from those roles as of July 24, 2022 (the “Separation Agreement”). Mr. Gilchrist will remain a director of the Company and the Board will appoint a new Chairman.

Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Gilchrist will be eligible to receive certain payments and benefits, subject to certain agreed conditions set forth in the Separation Agreement, including: (i) a one-time cash payment of $4.8 million; (ii) a one-time payment by the Company of $1.2 million for the 12-month lease of Mr. Gilchrist’s residence in Florida; (iii) reimbursement for COBRA premiums for Mr. Gilchrist and his covered dependents for up to eighteen months; (iv) relocation expenses up to $20,000; (v) reimbursement of legal fees related to the Separation Agreement; and (vi) a one-time cash payment of $1.0 million.

Appointment of Interim Chief Executive Officer

On July 24, 2022, the Board appointed Ben Coates, a current member of the Board, as Interim Chief Executive Officer, to serve while the Board conducts a formal search for a permanent successor to Mr. Gilchrist. In addition to his new role as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Coates will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board.

On September 20, 2022, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Coates in connection with his service as the Interim Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement provides for a term that expires upon the earlier of January 31, 2023 and the
47


date Mr. Coates’ employment with the Company terminates for any reason. Mr. Coates will receive a base salary at a rate of $1,500,000 per annum with (i) $1,000,000 payable in cash and (ii) $500,000 paid in the form of a restricted stock units award that vest in 12 equal installments at the end of each calendar month. The number of shares subject to the restricted stock units award was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 17, 2022. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Coates is eligible to participate in any employee benefits or compensation practices generally available to other executive officers, including paid time off policies.

The Employment Agreement contains certain severance provisions which provide for the benefits to be received by Mr. Coates upon termination of employment prior to January 31, 2023. In the event of Mr. Coates’ termination of employment due to Mr. Coates’ dismissal or discharge other than for cause or by reason of his death or disability, and subject to certain conditions, Mr. Coates will receive a cash severance payment in an amount equal to 50% of his base salary, less any amounts paid by the Company from July 24, 2022 through the date of termination. Upon such termination, Mr. Coates’ unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other equity-based awards that would have become vested based on continued employment through January 31, 2023, will become immediately vested on the date of termination.

Reduction in Force

On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company initiated a reduction in force, reducing its number of employees by approximately 110 employees, which represented approximately 45% of the Company’s total employees globally. This decision was made in light of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty in order to best position itself to achieve sustained growth over the near and long-term, as well as the loss of growth capital as a result of the termination of the Company’s $150 million credit agreement, dated as of May 13, 2022, with Fortress Credit Group. Additionally, the Company committed to the closures of certain office and warehouse locations, entered into a separation agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, and amended the employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer (these actions are collectively referenced as “the Restructuring Plan”). The Company anticipates the Restructuring Plan to be substantially complete by the end of the 2022 fiscal year.

As a result of this workforce reduction and other restructuring related charges, the Company incurred pre-tax cash charges of $14.4 million and pre-tax non-cash charges of $12.4 million, inclusive of previously described amounts included within the Separation Agreement and those incurred in connection with the termination of the Fortress Credit Facility.

Termination of Fortress Credit Facility

On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a newly created subsidiary of the Company, F45 SPV Finance Company, LLC as “Borrower” and Fortress Credit Group (“Fortress”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender, consisting of a $150 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) seven-year credit facility (the “New Facility”). The Maximum Committed Amount may be increased to $300 million in certain circumstances under the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement required that the Company enter into a limited guaranty, guaranteeing the Company’s obligations under the New Facility, in an amount not to exceed 10% of the total New Facility size. The proceeds from the New Facility were to be used by the Borrower to purchase loans made by another subsidiary of the Company, F45 Intermediate Holdco, LLC, to certain franchisees of the Company (the “Receivables”).

During July 2022, the Company determined it was no longer in compliance with covenants requiring minimum market capitalization thresholds in the New Credit Agreement. Subsequently, on August 14, 2022, F45 SPV Finance Company, LLC, delivered a notice to Fortress, as administrative agent, terminating it’s the New Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Agreement at the time of termination.

European Master Franchise Agreement
48



On October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a Master Franchise Agreement (“MFA”) with Club Sports Group, LLC (“Club Sports”), an affiliate of KLIM, pursuant to which the Company granted Club Sports the master franchise rights for F45 in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In exchange, the Company will receive certain fees and royalties, including a percentage of the revenue generated by Club Sports. In accordance with the agreement, F45 will assign existing franchise agreement rights to approximately 103 studios previously signed by the Company.

Unsolicited Bid

On September 30, 2022, the Company received an unsolicited preliminary non-binding proposal from Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LP ("KLIM") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, not already beneficially owned by KLIM or other stockholders participating in the proposed transaction, at a price per share equal to $4.00 in cash. Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Company's Board of Directors will evaluate KLIM's proposal with its advisors and pursue the course of action it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. There is no certainty that any transaction will be consummated. The proposal was required to be disclosed by KLIM under Regulation 13D by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Key Non-GAAP Financial and Operating Metrics

In addition to our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we regularly review the following key metrics to measure performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, compensate our employees, and monitor our business.

Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of important factors, including new Franchises Sold, new studio openings and number of visits. Many of these factors have been, and will continue to be, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table sets forth our key performance indicators for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands except, net earnings (loss) per share):

System-wide Sales

We define System-wide Sales as all payments made to our studios and includes payment for classes, apparel and other sales for a given period. We track System-wide Sales as an indication of the strength of our franchisee network.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our System-wide Sales were approximately $130.6 million and $375.1 million, respectively, which compares favorably to approximately $99.4 million and $296.5 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as presented in the table below:

$130,594 $99,436 $375,088 $296,474 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Sales year-over-year growth of 32% in our U.S. segment and 50% in our ROW segment was driven by both new studio openings during the period and a greater percentage of total studios which were not impacted by COVID-19 restrictions or temporary closures during the quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Sales year-over-year growth of 47% in our U.S. segment and 75% in our ROW segment was driven by both new studio openings during the period and a greater percentage of total studios which were not impacted by COVID-19 restrictions or temporary closures during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Sales year-over-year increased by 20% and decreased by 7%, respectively, for our Australian segment. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by increased market competition and a greater percentage of studios in this segment recovering from the impact of government mandated closures resulting from COVID-19 restrictions during the second half of 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022.

System-wide Visits

We define System-wide Visits as the number of registered individual workouts for any specified period. A workout is registered when the consumer checks into a class.

Our long-term growth will depend in part on our continued ability to attract and retain consumers to visit our studios for individual workouts. Our franchisees must continue to provide an experience that both attracts new consumers and retains existing consumers.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our System-wide Visits were approximately 7.6 million and 22.1 million, respectively, which compares favorably to approximately 6.4 million and 20.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as presented in the table below:

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Visits year-over-year growth of 10% in our U.S. segment and 38% in our ROW segment was driven by both new studio openings during the period and a greater percentage of total studios which were not impacted by COVID-19 restrictions or temporary closures during the year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Visits year-over-year growth of 19% in our U.S. segment and 68% in our ROW segment was driven by both new studio openings during the period and a greater percentage of total studios which were not impacted by COVID-19 restrictions or temporary closures during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, System-wide Visits year-over-year increased by 22% and decreased by 17%, respectively, for our Australian segment, primarily driven by increased market competition and a greater percentage of studios in this segment recovering from the impact of government mandated closures resulting from COVID-19 restrictions during the second half of 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022.

New Franchises Sold

New Franchises Sold refers to the number of franchises sold during any specific period. We classify Total Franchises Sold, as of any specified date, (i) the total number of signed franchise agreements in place as of such date for which an establishment fee has been paid and (ii) the total number of franchises committed in a multi-studio agreement in place as of such date for which an upfront payment has been made, in each case that have not been terminated. Each new franchise is included in the number of franchises sold from the date in which we enter into a signed franchise agreement related to each such new franchise. Total Franchises Sold includes franchise arrangements in all stages of development after signing a franchise agreement, and includes franchises with open studios. Franchises are removed from Total Franchises Sold upon termination of the franchise agreement.

Our long-term growth will depend in part on our continued ability to sell new franchises. We are still in the early stages of growth and expansion, particularly in the United States and ROW, and we believe we can significantly grow our franchisee base. If we cannot sell new franchises as quickly as we would like in these geographies, our operating results may be adversely affected.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold a net average of (51) and 42 new franchises per month, respectively, as compared to the 70 and 84 net average New Franchises Sold, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Negative New Franchises Sold, net, represents periods in which terminations were in excess of new franchises sold. Decreases in the net change in the United States was primarily attributable to terminations from multi-unit franchise deals signed during the first quarter of 2022.

Initial Studio Openings and Total Studios

Initial Studio Openings refers to the number of studios that were determined to be first opened during such period. Prior to October 1, 2021, we classified an Initial Studio Opening to occur in the first month in which the studio first generates monthly revenue of at least $4,500. Starting on October 1, 2021, we classify an Initial Studio Opening to occur in the month in which we record the initial studio opening in our internal systems. Any studios that did not have an Initial Studio Opening under the prior definition are included as of October 1, 2021. We classify Total Studios, as of any specified date, as the total cumulative Initial Studio Openings as of that date less cumulative permanent studio closures as of that date. Neither Initial Studio Openings nor Total Studios are adjusted downward for studios that were temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise.

Our long-term growth will depend in part on our continued ability to open new studios. We believe that we will experience continued expansion of new studio openings in the United States and ROW. However, if delays or difficulties are encountered and new studio openings do not occur as quickly as we would like, our operating results may be adversely affected.

(a) Initial Studio Openings are shown net of studios that have permanently closed which had a recorded initial studio opening.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net initial studio openings of 28 and 33 new franchises per month, respectively, compared to the net initial studio openings of 21 and 20 franchises per month during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in net initial studio openings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was driven by gross studio openings in Australia and ROW generated by studio sales during the latter half of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use a variety of non-GAAP information, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and same store sales.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted to exclude the impact of sales tax liability, transaction expenses, loss on derivative liabilities, certain legal costs and settlements, stock-based compensation expense, COVID concessions, relocation costs, charitable donations, and certain other items identified as affecting comparability, when applicable. Adjusted EBITDA margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin have been included in this filing because they are important metrics used by management as one of the means by which it assesses our financial
52


performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing our company and its results of operations.

(1)Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to
investors as they eliminate certain items identified as affecting the period-over-period comparability of our operating results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin eliminate, among other items, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets, as well as income taxes, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our tax structure.

Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Although we use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because these measures do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or
contractual commitments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended as alternatives to net income or as indicators of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Our GAAP-based measures can be found in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filing.

Same Store Sales

We view Same Store Sales as a helpful measure to assess performance of our franchise studios.

Several factors impact our Same Store Sales in any given period, including the following:

the number of studios that have been in operation for more than 16 months;
the mix of recurring membership and workout pack revenue per studio;
growth in total memberships and workout pack visits per studio;
consumer recognition of our brand and our ability to respond to changing consumer preferences;
our and our franchisees’ ability to operate studios effectively and efficiently to meet consumer expectations;
marketing and promotional efforts;
local competition;
trade area dynamics;
opening of new studios in the vicinity of existing locations; and
overall economic trends, particularly those related to consumer spending.

Same Store Sales of our international studios are calculated on a constant currency basis on a studio level, meaning that we translate the current year’s Same Store Sales of our international studios at the same exchange rates used in the prior year. We view Same Store Sales as a helpful measure to assess performance of our franchise studios.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue from the following sources:
Franchise Revenue: Consists primarily of upfront establishment fees, monthly franchise fees, and other franchise-related fees, including fees related to our brand fund, marketing and other recurring fixed fees paid by franchisees on a monthly basis for various services we provide, such as the use of intranet, email and the studio’s website. Franchise agreements generally consist of an obligation to grant exclusive rights over a defined territory and may include options to renew the agreement, generally for two additional five year terms, as well as the license for certain trademarks and systems to operate that studio.

Monthly franchise fees generally become payable six to twelve months after we and a franchisee execute a franchise agreement, irrespective of whether the franchise has opened their studio. Monthly franchise fees are generally structured as the greater of i) fixed payments of $1,000-$3,000 per month per studio or ii) 7% of monthly gross sales per studio.
Equipment and Merchandise Revenue: Consist of fees paid to us in exchange for (i) World Packs for new F45 Training studios, which are comprehensive opening packs containing the standardized set of F45-branded fitness equipment and related technology required to operate an F45 Training studio and (ii) subsequent additional and/or replacement equipment and merchandise sales to franchisees including technology, apparel and other fitness-related products. Typically, a portion of the World Pack fee is required to be paid upon the execution of a franchise agreement, with the balance due upon the earlier of: (i) the date the franchisee orders the World Pack; or (ii) six months from the effective date of the franchise agreement. The franchise agreement mandates all franchisees to order and update new equipment on an annual basis.

Expenses

We primarily incur the following expenses directly related to our cost of revenues:
Cost of Franchise Revenue: Consists of direct costs associated with franchise sales, lead generation and the provision of marketing services to our franchisees. Our cost of franchise revenue changes primarily based on the number of Total Franchises Sold and Total Studios.

Cost of Equipment and Merchandise Revenue: Primarily includes the direct costs associated with World Pack equipment as well as additional and replacement equipment and merchandise sales to new and existing franchisees. World Pack costs consist of the cost of the components included in opening packs sold to franchisees, including: (i) gym equipment; (ii) our tech pack (e.g., TVs, F45TV adapters / dongles, heart monitors); and (iii) uniforms and merchandise. Our cost of equipment and merchandise changes primarily based on the World Pack equipment sales, which is driven by the number of Franchises Sold. Cost of equipment revenue is reduced by consideration (i.e. rebates) payable by the equipment supplier, in which the amount is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss generally upon delivery of the equipment.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: Primarily consists of costs associated with wages and salaries, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, and ongoing administrative and franchisee support functions related to our existing franchisees. Wages and salaries and costs related to ongoing administrative and franchisee support functions are primarily associated with brand marketing, fitness programming development and testing, technology costs related to development and maintenance of our technology-enabled centralized
56


delivery platform, marketing and promotional activities for the F45 Training brand, and professional expenses.

Loss on derivative liability, net: Our loss on derivative liability, net, primarily relates to the change in the derivative liabilities’ fair value based on the probability of the IPO event from when the Company entered into the subordinated convertible debt agreement to the consummation of the IPO on July 15, 2021.

Change in fair value - warrant liabilities: Our change in fair value - warrant liabilities, primarily relates to change in the fair value of outstanding warrant liabilities as a result of fluctuations in the Company’s stock price .

Other Income, Net: Our other income, net, primarily relates to realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, permanent differences, foreign jurisdiction earnings taxed at different rates, withholding taxes, and a valuation allowance against certain domestic deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

On October 6, 2020, we entered into a subordinated convertible debt agreement, or the Convertible Notes, whereby we issued $100 million of Convertible Notes to certain holders maturing on September 30, 2025. The Convertible Notes contain embedded derivatives that required bifurcation and recognition as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The liabilities for these embedded derivatives were measured at fair value as of October 6, 2020, and the subsequent change in the estimated fair value was recorded as a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The $48.6 million loss on derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to the change in the derivative liabilities’ fair value resulting from the Company’s growing equity value and increasing probability of the IPO event from when the Company entered into the subordinated convertible debt agreement in October 2020 to the consummation of the IPO on July 15, 2021. The embedded derivatives were extinguished in connection with the repayment of the debt upon the IPO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2022, we held $16.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, of which $5.3 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. Restricted cash relates to cash held in term deposits. In the event that we repatriate these funds from our foreign subsidiaries, we would need to accrue and pay applicable United Sates taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. As of September 30, 2022, our intent was to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for withholding taxes or other taxes that would result upon repatriation of approximately $30.9 million of undistributed earnings from these foreign subsidiaries as those earnings continue to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the United States due to the complexity of the underlying calculation. Although we have no intention to repatriate the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, if such funds are needed for operations in the United States, to the extent applicable and material, we will revise future filings to address the potential tax implications.

As of September 30, 2022, our primary cash needs are for the funding of day-to-day operations, financing capital investments and to address our working capital needs.

We believe that our operating cash flows and cash on hand as well as the reduction in expenditures resulting from the reduction in force implemented during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs for the next 12 months. However, changes in forecasted growth and available funds could have a further negative impact on our future liquidity. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings, the sale of excess inventory, reduction of promotional and professional advisory contracts, or a combination of these potential sources of funds and reductions of expenses; however, such financing or reductions may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to meet our operating, investing and financing needs depends to a significant extent on our future financial performance, which will be subject in part to general economic, competitive, financial, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including those described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors.” In addition to these general economic and industry factors, the principal factors in determining whether our cash flows will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements will be our ability to globally expand our franchisee footprint.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $89.0 million, which resulted from a net loss of $92.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $50.4 million and
68


net cash outflow of $46.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $14.0 million loss on the Fortress Financing Facility, $11.7 million for deferred income taxes, $11.5 million for stock-based compensation expense and $11.3 million provision for bad debt, slightly offset by a $4.5 million of gain on the change in fair value related to the Company’s warrant liability. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of a $2.9 million increase in prepaid expenses, which increased due to our deposits placed on equipment and merchandise, an $16.4 million increase in accounts receivable, which increased primarily due to orders on equipment and merchandise, a $12.9 million increase in other current assets and a $6.5 million increase in other assets due to an increase in unbilled receivables, a $41.8 million increase in inventory, partially offset by a $24.5 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $34.8 million, which resulted from a net loss of $197.6 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $199.1 million and net cash inflow of $36.3 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $85.7 million of stock based compensation, $48.6 million for loss on derivative liability, $31.6 million accretion and write-off of debt discount, $12.9 million of paid-in-kind interest, and $5.4 million provision for bad debt. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of a $5.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $1.0 million increase in deferred revenue, a $0.2 million increase in other liabilities, partially offset by a $11.4 million increase in accounts receivable, a $7.1 million increase in inventory, and a $9.3 million increase in other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of $9.1 million resulted primarily from purchases of property and equipment of $6.1 million and capitalization of internal-use software development costs, trademarks, and patents of $3.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $27.4 million resulted primarily from the asset acquisition of Flywheel CRM software and Flywheel brand names of $25.0 million, purchases of property and equipment of $1.5 million and capitalization of internal-use software development costs, trademarks, and patents of $0.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $73.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to borrowings under our Revolving Facility of $87.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to provide cash to fund purchases and deposits placed on equipment. The net change in cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by $11.4 million of taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.

Net cash used in financing activities of $85.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was due to required repayments under our term facility.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2022, consisted of $30.5 million in operating leases, of which all of which is due within the next four years and thereafter. Please see Note 11—Debt and Note 17—Commitments and contingencies to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the contractual obligations related to our debt and operating leases, respectively.

69


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guaranties provided by the Company for leases for office space by unconsolidated organizations and standby letters of credit. See Note 17—Commitments and contingencies and Note 11—Debt to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing for more information regarding these guaranties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred contract acquisition costs, the capitalization and estimated useful life of internal-use software, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, and accounting for income taxes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our consolidated financial statements including those that involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. A thorough understanding of these critical accounting policies is essential when reviewing our consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements include those described in Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 23, 2022.
Impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets

We assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment,
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no impairment charges recorded on long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended 2021.

We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible asset (trademark) to determine whether current events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. In addition, our indefinite-lived
intangible asset is tested for impairment annually. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each asset with its carrying value, with any excess of
carrying value over fair value being recognized as an impairment loss. We are also permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying value prior to applying the quantitative assessment. If, based on our qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the asset is less than its fair value, then a quantitative assessment may be required.

We perform our annual impairment test for our indefinite-lived intangible asset during the fourth quarter of the calendar year. We also test for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the fair
70


value of such indefinite-lived intangible asset has been impaired. No impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Recent accounting pronouncements

See Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the dates of the statements of financial position included in this filing.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

We have chosen to apply the provision of the JOBS Act that permits us, as an “emerging growth company,” to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised
accounting standards applicable to public companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risk

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.7 million deposited with major financial institutions, which consisted of bank deposits. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, our exposure to interest rate risk is limited to changes in our bank interest rates for which an immediate one percent change would not have had a material effect on our financial condition or operating results.

Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding borrowings under our Secured Credit Agreement. Our revolving line of credit bears interest at a variable rate, which exposes us to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. As of September 30, 2022, we had $88.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our Secured Credit Agreement. An increase of 100 basis points in the effective interest rate on our outstanding debt at September 30, 2022 would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.9 million over the next 12 months. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.

Foreign exchange risk

We report our results in U.S. dollars, which is our reporting currency. The operations of Australia
and ROW that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are impacted by fluctuations in currency exchange rates and changes in currency regulations. The majority of Australia’s operations, income, revenues, expenses and cash flows are denominated in Australian dollars, which we translate to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. ROW revenues and expenses in their respective local currencies are translated using the average rates during the period in which they are recognized and are impacted by changes in currency exchange rates.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, income from operations would have decreased or increased approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, if all foreign currencies uniformly weakened or strengthened 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, holding other variables constant, including sales volumes. The effect of a uniform movement of all currencies by 10% is provided to illustrate a hypothetical scenario and related effect on operating income. Actual results will differ as foreign currencies may move in uniform or different directions and in different magnitudes. To date, we
71


have not had a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency should become more significant.

Inflation Risk

We are subject to the effects of inflation through elevated supply chain costs, including equipment and logistics costs. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations, our business could be more affected by inflation in the future which could have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue if we are unable to fully offset such higher costs through price increases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that control objectives are attained.

As previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 23, 2022, for the year ended December 31, 2021, management had identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the financial close process. Specifically, management noted that the Company had identified control deficiencies within the financial close processes as the Company has not properly designed or maintained effective controls over our financial closing and reporting process to record, review and monitor compliance with generally accepted accounting principles for transactions on a timely basis. This includes an inadequate level of precision in management’s reviews of accounting documentation and journal entries, including a lack of evidence to support that a review had been performed.

The Company believes that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses mentioned above, the consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial positions, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as of the dates and for the periods stated therein.

As required by Rule13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above.

Remediation Plan and Status

Based on deficiencies identified above, the Company has identified and implemented additional processes, procedures and controls as noted below to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures in this area. The Company initiated and implemented the following corrective actions:

72


developed, formalized and implemented additional management review controls across the organization in order to add more comprehensive levels of review and approval for significant transactions;

enhanced and refined our quarterly and annual financial analysis and procedures to allow for more timely and substantive review of financial results before the filing of the quarterly reports of Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K;

commenced the implementation of certain modules within our accounting system to automate and provide better tracking and more timely reporting of certain processes; and

retained an outside consultant to assist the Company in refining and testing the internal controls over financial reporting that are in place at the Company, including within the financial close process.

The Company believes the actions described above will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. The steps taken to address the material weakness have not operated for a sufficient amount of time to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated. The Company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make further changes where management determines appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than those actions described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On October 19, 2022, DB Ventures Limited and ABG-Shark LLC filed a complaint (Case No. 22STCV33846) against F45 Training Holdings, Inc., alleging breach of contract in connection with certain promotional agreements with David Beckham and Greg Norman, respectively. The company disputes these claims and intends to vigorously defend itself. The litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

See Part I, “Financial Information – Note 17—Commitments and contingencies Litigation. The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022. The risks and uncertainties described in our 2021 Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Use of Proceeds

The registration statement, as amended, registered up to 19,375,000 shares of our common stock to be issued and sold by us and up to 3,984,375 shares of common stock to be issued and sold by MWIG LLC, one of our stockholders. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on July 14, 2021. The offering commenced immediately thereafter. In the initial public offering, we sold 19,057,889 shares of our common stock (including 307,889 shares that were sold on August 17, 2021 to the underwriters pursuant to exercise of their over-allotment option) and MWIG LLC sold 2,794,055 shares of our common stock (including 1,231,555 shares that were sold on August 17, 2021 to the underwriters pursuant to the exercise of their over-allotment option) at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $304.9 million and aggregate gross proceeds to MWIG LLC of approximately $44.7 million.

There has been no material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus, dated June 21, 2021, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) relating to our Registration Statement.

In conjunction with the New Facility with Fortress, on May 13, 2022, the Company issued in a private placement Immediately Exercisable Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,211,210 shares of the Company’s common stock and Warrants that will become exercisable on the date on which loans in an amount equal to 50% of the Maximum Committed Amount (as in effect on the date any warrant is issued) have been drawn under the New Credit Agreement to purchase up to 1.25% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock as of the Vesting Date. On May 17, 2022, the holders of the Immediately Exercisable Warrants exercised the Put Option via a net share settlement, resulting in the issuance of 346,192 shares of Common Stock. The issuance of warrants and common stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
