•additional factors discussed in our SEC filings, including those identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023.
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.
3
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” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023. 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 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1—Nature of the business and basis of presentation
Organization
F45 Training Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (“F45 Training Holdings”, the “Company”, or “F45”) are a global fitness franchisor engaged in franchising and licensing the F45 Training, FS8, and Vive Active brands to fitness facilities in multiple countries across the globe. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 12, 2019. The Company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
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 franchisees and its subsidiaries (if applicable). The joint venture will be conducted through FAFC LLC, a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company (“FAFC”). CSG is wholly owned by 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 14% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and its related affiliates, and has the right to nominate a majority of the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2023, no activity has occurred through FAFC.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related 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.
The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which it is the primary beneficiary and has a controlling financial interest, which is defined as (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has determined it possesses a variable interest in certain franchisee entities to which the Company provides a lease guaranty or financing (see Note 15—Commitments and contingencies) but lacks the characteristics of having a controlling financial interest. As our franchisee entities provide our franchisee the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, we do not consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of any such entity that might be a VIE. The Company, therefore, is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary for these franchise entities and, as a result, does not include them in the Company’s 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 interim 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, 2022.
Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
7
Key estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, depreciation of long-lived assets, internally developed software, amortization of intangible assets, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative instruments, valuation of stock-based compensation, 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company currently funds its operations primarily from cash on hand, credit facilities and operating cash flow. The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s forecast for the twelve months from the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements could result in the possibility of insufficient resources to meet its ongoing obligations and maintain compliance with the minimum liquidity requirement of $10 million in its credit agreement. The Company has determined that these circumstances represent conditions regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern before consideration of management’s plans.
In response to these conditions, the Company obtained additional financing and intends to implement the following to reduce the demands on future Company resources: i) eliminate costs associated with being a public registrant with the SEC by the filing of Form-15 as soon as it is able to; and ii) manage the cash flows associated with non-recurring expenditures, including legal fees, certain professional services fees, and others. The NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC on August 25, 2023 with respect to the Company to effect the withdrawal of the listing of its common stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of its common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act (which became effective on September 5, 2023), and the Company intends to file a Form 15 as soon as practicable after the Company’s outstanding filings with the SEC have been filed. Additionally, management believes that they will be successful in limiting the Company’s non-recurring expenditures and managing the timing of such expenditures for at least twelve months from the date these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As a result, the Company’s management believes that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Subordinated Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Subordinated Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative Agent and Australian security trustee, and the lenders party thereto. The lender group consists of existing stockholders of the Company led by affiliates of Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LP (“KLIM”), the investment manager to significant stockholders of the Company and party to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement. The Subordinated Credit Agreement provides for a $90.0 million, five-and-a-half-year term loan facility (the “KLIM Term Loan”) at an original issue discount of 3.00% payable in kind. The proceeds from the KLIM Term Loan were used by the Company to pay down $20.1 million of existing indebtedness and accrued interest and fees on its existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and to pay down other liabilities of the Company and for general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Subordinated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
Amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable in kind. Upon repayment or acceleration of the KLIM Term Loan (including in connection
8
with a change of control), the Company is required to pay an exit fee equal to: (i) 35% of the then-current principal balance of the KLIM Term Loan during the first 12 months following closing of the KLIM Term Loan; (ii) 25% of the then-current principal balance of the KLIM Term Loan during the next 12 months; and (iii) 10% of the then-current principal balance of the KLIM Term Loan thereafter.
Amendment to Subordinated Credit Agreement
On October 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Subordinated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the lenders agreed to extend credit in the form of an incremental loan in an original aggregate principal amount equal to $40.0 million, upon the same terms as the original loan amount. Approximately $5.0 million of the proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the loan outstanding on the Company’s existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. In addition, the lenders provided the Company with a delayed draw facility of up to $10 million.
Note 2—Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As previously described in Part II Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The errors underlying the restatement also impacted the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2022.
Description of Restatement Errors
The errors identified as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:
•Equipment and merchandise revenue - The Company prematurely recognized Equipment and merchandise revenue before the criteria under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) had been met. In particular, errors resulted from incorrect conclusions regarding (i) the identification and recognition of performance obligations for customer contracts and (ii) the assessment of criteria of a contract under ASC 606. The restatement resulted in a change in the timing of the recognition of revenue and deferred revenue until such transactions meet all the criteria for revenue recognition.
•Cost of equipment and merchandise - The associated Cost of equipment and merchandise for each equipment and merchandise revenue sales order was also recognized in the incorrect period.
•Vendor rebate - The Company incorrectly recognized a rebate received from a vendor.
•Income taxes - The Company recalculated its income tax expense on an annual and quarterly basis to account for the identified restatement adjustments.
•Other errors - There are other restatement errors otherwise not described in the restatement errors listed above. These errors and related restatement adjustments were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting policies
There were no changes to the significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements that were disclosed in Note 3—Summary of significant accounting policies to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other than as discussed below.
Concentration of credit risk
One of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 37% of the Company’s Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
Credit losses
The Company’s accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an allowance for estimated credit losses. The Company estimates credit losses based on historical collections, age of receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition, and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. The Company’s payment terms on its accounts receivable from franchisees are generally 30 days.
The change in the Company’s allowance for credit losses is as follows (in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 16,043 | $ | 8,132 | |||||||
Provisions for bad debts, included in Selling, general and administrative | 5,514 | 1,464 | |||||||||
Uncollectible receivables written off | (2,449) | (4,230) | |||||||||
Balance at end of period | $ | 19,108 | $ | 5,366 |
Debt issuance costs and debt discount
The Company records debt issuance costs as a reduction to the carrying value of the related debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs and debt discount are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method of amortization, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs are included in Interest expense, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Derivative instruments
Embedded derivatives
When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative liability. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets, separate from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in within Loss on derivative liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
12
The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded derivatives through a “with-and-without method” that isolates the value of the embedded derivatives by measuring the difference between the host contract’s value “with” and “without” the embedded derivatives. This method utilizes the following inputs: (i) the expected term in years, (ii) the probability of a change in control event, (iii) an exit fee, (iv) the make-whole premium discount rate, and (v) the implied discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The host contract’s value with the embedded derivatives involves the application of an implied discount rate based on repayment and prepayment scenarios upon the estimated timing and probability weighted expected change in control events. Valuations derived from this method are subject to ongoing internal and external verification review. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors.
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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
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, 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, 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 adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
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). In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848.” ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-06 on its consolidated financial statements; however, the Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2022-06 will materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

16
convert $8.0 million of the amount outstanding under 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 $5.0 million of the principal amount of the Revolving Facility outstanding.
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 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Secured Credit Agreement dated September 18, 2019. The Senior Credit Agreement provided for a $90.0 million -year senior secured revolving facility (“Facility”). The Senior Credit Agreement also provided that, under certain circumstances, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $35.0 million.
On May 13, 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Senior Credit Agreement.

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Senior Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, certain amendments were made to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement to permit the execution of a $90.0 million, five-and-a-half-year term loan facility with a lender group consisting of existing stockholders of the Company led by affiliates of Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LP. In addition, a $20.1 million repayment to the Lender was required to facilitate the carve out of a $66.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”) on the Facility, with an interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) (“SOFR”) plus 550 basis points per annum and a two-year term, and a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Facility”) (10.46% as of March 31, 2023).
In connection with the New Revolving Facility, the Lender 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 March 31, 2023 totaled $1.6 million, all of which have expiration dates in less than one year. The amount of borrowings available at any time under the New Revolving Facility is reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding.
As a result of the reduction in borrowing capacity on the Facility with the Third Amendment, the Company, in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity, performed a write-off of debt issuance costs of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 which is included in Interest expense, net. Additionally, the Company has capitalized all new lender and third party fees paid and recognizes these fees as part of interest expense over the life of the modified debt in accordance with the effective interest method. The unamortized debt issuance cost in connection to the Facility as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The availability on the Facility as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Subordinated Second Lien PIK Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a subordinated credit agreement (the “Subordinated Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative Agent and Australian security trustee, and the lenders party thereto. The lender group consists of existing stockholders of the Company led by affiliates of Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LP (“KLIM”), the investment manager to significant stockholders of the Company and party to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement. The Subordinated Credit Agreement provides for a $90.0 million, five-and-a-half-year term loan facility (the “KLIM Term Loan”) at an original issue discount of 3.00% payable in kind. The proceeds from the KLIM Term Loan were used by the Company to pay down $20.1 million of outstanding amounts owed on the existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to pay down other liabilities of the Company and for general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Subordinated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
Amounts outstanding under the KLIM Term Loan accrue interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable in kind. The outstanding balance on the loan facility as of March 31, 2023 was $88.5 million, which included $90.0 million of principal, $2.7 million in a paid-in-kind (“PIK”) fee taking the form of original issue discount, and $1.2 million of PIK interest accrued.
Certain features of the Subordinated Credit Agreement, specifically the exit fee and applicable premium, as described below, were identified as embedded derivatives and require bifurcation and separate valuation.
Exit Fee - The terms of the Subordinated Credit Agreement state that upon repayment or acceleration of the KLIM Term Loan, including in connection with a change of control, optional prepayment, or Event of Default, as defined under the Subordinated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay an exit fee (“Exit Fee”) equal to: (i) 35% of the then-current principal balance of the Subordinated Credit Agreement during the first 12 months following closing of the Subordinated Credit Agreement; (ii) 25% of the then-current principal balance of the Subordinated Credit Agreement during the next 12 months; and (iii) 10% of the then-current principal balance of the Subordinated Credit Agreement thereafter.
Applicable Premium - The terms of the Subordinated Credit Agreement state that in the event that a change in control shall occur, the Company shall prepay all of the outstanding KLIM Term Loan on the change in control date. The Company is also required to pay the Applicable Premium should the change in control date occur on or prior to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The Applicable Premium is either a Make-Whole Premium, if the change in control date is prior to or on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement, or a Prepayment Premium, if the change in control date occurs after the first anniversary of the effective date through the third anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The Make-Whole Premium is the present value of all required interest payments from the prepayment date through the first anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The present value is to be calculated using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus an additional 2% of the then-current principal amount. The Prepayment Premium is 2% of the then-current principal amount if the prepayment date is after the first anniversary of the effective date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement, or 1% of the then-current principal amount if the prepayment date is after the second anniversary of the effective date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the effective date of the Subordinated Credit Agreement, or 0% afterwards.
In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company identified embedded derivatives relating to the Exit Fee and Applicable Premium requiring bifurcation. See Note 11—Derivative instruments for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for the embedded derivatives.
18
In connection with issuing of the KLIM Term Loan, the Company repaid the Lender $20.1 million on the Facility and $5.7 million in third party fees. The Company determined that all fees paid to the lenders and third parties would result in a reduction of the initial carrying amount of the note. The Company is amortizing the debt discount and debt issuance costs into interest expense utilizing the straight-line method of amortization, which approximates the effective interest method.

loans will accrue interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable in kind, and will mature on August 13, 2028.
On October 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”).

Note 11—Derivative instruments
Embedded Derivatives
As discussed in Note 10—Debt, in February 2023, the Company entered into the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The Company has analyzed the embedded features of the Subordinated Credit 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) the Exit Fee and (ii) the Applicable Premium.
The $23.5 million initial fair value of the embedded derivatives for the Subordinated Credit Agreement has been recorded as a debt discount along with a corresponding liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The initial debt discount is not subsequently revalued and is being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the life of the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as non-current as the Company is not required to net cash settle within 12 months of the balance sheet date and are marked-to-market at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded within Loss on derivative liabilities in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company valued the embedded derivatives using a “with-and-without method” where the value of the KLIM Term Loan including the embedded derivatives were defined as the “with” and the value of the KLIM Term Loan excluding the embedded derivatives were defined as the “without.” This method estimates the fair value of the embedded derivatives as the difference between the KLIM Term Loan value with and without the embedded derivatives. The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with the KLIM Term Loan was estimated using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value. This involves significant Level 3 inputs and assumptions including an (i) estimated probability and timing of a change in control and (ii) our risk-adjusted discount rate.
The following table sets forth the inputs to the “with-and-without method” that was used to value the embedded derivatives based on potential change in control scenarios with different probabilities and a maturity scenario that would not result in a change in control event:
21
As of March 31, 2023 | |||||
Expected term in years | 1.13 | ||||
Exit fee “with” the embedded derivatives | 10.00% - 35.00% | ||||
Make-whole premium discount rate(1) | 5.49% | ||||
Implied discount rate | 45.00% |
(1) | The make-whole premium discount rate is the 1-year constant maturity Treasury rate plus 50 basis points as of March 31, 2023 and would not be applicable if the loan fully matures without a change in control event. |
Note 12—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 unaudited interim 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 promotional agreements (see Note 15—Commitments and contingencies) and derivative instruments (see Note 11—Derivative instruments) are Level 3 instruments and use internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which require 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. The 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 increases (decreases) if the expected volatility were to increase (decrease).
The inputs for determining fair value of the embedded Exit Fee and Applicable Premium are Level 3 instruments. Refer to Note 11—Derivative instruments for further discussion related to the inputs and accounting for these instruments.
The following table summarizes the Company’s total Level 3 liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Note 13—Income taxes
The effective income tax rate was a provision rate of negative 0.9% and positive 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax expense for the interim period was computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full year. The effective tax rate reflects the tax effect of the establishment of a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the second quarter of tax year 2022, and the effect of not recognizing the benefit of the losses incurred in 2023 and 2022 in jurisdictions where the Company concluded it is more likely than not that such benefits would not be realized.
The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of this assessment during the second quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would not realize its deferred tax assets. For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company considered cumulative losses as a significant source of negative evidence and maintained the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax attributes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $15.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to marketing service awards that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized due to insufficient evidence to support payment of the service awards.
Note 14—Related party transactions
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of Franchise revenue and Equipment and merchandise revenue from studios owned by Mark Wahlberg, Chief Brand Officer and Director of the Company, and Michael Raymond, Director of the Company. With respect to these transactions, the Company has presented the revenue recognized during these periods in Franchise revenue in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding receivables from these studios. These amounts are included in Due from related parties on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of Franchise revenue from studios owned by an entity in which an existing stockholder that is an executive officers. With respect to these transactions, the Company has presented the revenue recognized during these periods in Franchise revenue in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
23
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had less than $0.1 million outstanding receivables from these studios. These amounts are included in Due from related parties on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred expenses totaling approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in connection with certain shipping and logistic services from a third-party vendor that is owned by an immediate family member of a former executive officer of the Company (who was an executive officer of the Company during this time period). The Company has presented the expenses incurred during these periods in Cost of equipment and merchandise in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of outstanding payables to the third-party vendor. These amounts are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a development agreement with an existing multi-unit franchisee to open approximately 87 studios. Following the execution of this agreement, the Company entered into an employment agreement and contractor agreement with two individuals who hold an equity ownership in the franchisee entity. As a result of the employment agreements, the Company determined the development agreement and studios operating under ownership of its franchisee now represent related party transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized Franchise revenue and Equipment and merchandise revenue totaling $0.1 million from studios under the development agreement. The Company has presented the expenses incurred during these periods in Cost of equipment and merchandise in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The development agreement required payment for equipment delivered during the first quarter of 2022 to be made at the earlier of opening of the underlying studio or 12 months from the date of the purchase of the equipment. The Company is currently assessing alternatives to the current agreement, including potentially amending the agreements to provide for no further development of studios or termination of the agreements; however, it cannot be certain that a solution will be reached. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had receivables outstanding related to amounts due under the development agreement of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Due from related parties on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
U.S. Development Agreement Transaction with Club Franchise Group LLC
On June 15, 2021, the Company entered into a long-term multi-unit studio agreement, with Club Franchise Group LLC (“Club Franchise”), an affiliate of KLIM, the investment manager to significant stockholders of the Company, an affiliate of lenders under the Company’s KLIM Credit Agreement and party to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement. Pursuant to the term multi-unit studio agreement, the Company granted to Club Franchise the right to, and Club Franchise agreed to, open at least 300 studios in certain territories in the U.S. over 36 months, with the first 150 studios to be open within 18 months of the date of the multi-unit studio agreement, or December 15, 2022. Club Franchise had 24 studios opened as of March 31, 2023 under the multi-unit studio agreement.
Club Franchise is obligated to pay to the Company the same general fees as other franchisees in the U.S., and to enter into a franchise agreement in respect of each studio upon approval by the Company of the studio site. Consistent with some of the franchise agreements in the United States entered into since July 2019, Club Franchise is required to pay the Company a monthly franchise fee based on the greater of a fixed monthly franchise fee of $2,500 per month or 7% of gross monthly studio revenue regardless of whether such studios are open. Club Franchise has also agreed to pay the Company an upfront establishment fees of $7.5 million as follows: (i) $1.9 million upon execution of the multi-unit studio agreement (which amount had been paid as of December 31, 2021); (ii) $1.9 million by June 2022; (iii) $1.9 million by December 2022; and (iv) $1.9 million by December 2023. Club Franchise is required to pay monthly franchise fees to the Company in respect of additional studios with monthly franchise fees for
24
150 studios being payable by December 2022. With respect to the remaining 150 studios, the Company and Club Franchise have agreed to negotiate a payment schedule that provides for the monthly franchise fees in respect of such studios to commence no later than 12 months after the opening date of the relevant studio. Like other franchisees, Club Franchise is also obligated to pay the Company other fees, including fees related to marketing and equipment and merchandise, some of which the Company has agreed to provide at a discounted rate.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company determined that Club Franchise was no longer in compliance with the multi-unit studio agreement as a result of outstanding franchise fee invoices as well as delays related to required studio openings in accordance with development schedules. As a result of the non-compliance and subsequent discussions with Club Franchise management, the Company determined that collections related to approximately 280 studios under the agreement were no longer probable based on their expected opening date.
The Company recognized $0.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of Franchise revenue and Equipment and merchandise revenue in conjunction with the transaction with Club Franchise Group LLC during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. There was less than $0.1 million and $3.2 million outstanding receivable balance owed by Club Franchise as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
European Master Franchise Agreement Transaction 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 to sell F45 licenses to franchisees in certain territories as defined in the agreement, including 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 franchise agreements signed under the MFA. In accordance with the MFA, F45 will assign existing franchise agreement rights to approximately 103 studios previously signed by the Company. Subsequent to the original signing of the MFA, the MFA was modified to include an additional 71 franchise agreements. The term of the MFA provides for a ten-year period for Club Sports to sell licenses to franchisees with the option to renew the MFA for two additional ten-year periods at the then current master franchise fee rate. The MFA expires at the expiration or termination of the last franchise agreement sold by Club Sports.
At signing of the MFA, Club Sports was required to make an upfront master franchise fee payment of $1.5 million on the effective date of the MFA as well as purchase 40 equipment packs to be sold to sub-franchisees under the MFA. The Company recognized Equipment and merchandise revenue of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of these orders. No franchise revenues were recognized under the MFA during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as it was determined that Club Sports had not taken over master franchising activities, including marketing of sale of new franchise agreements and general and administrative activities over the franchise agreements as of March 31, 2023.
Related party franchise arrangements were transacted at arm’s length pricing with standard contractual terms.
Note 15—Commitments and contingencies
Litigation
Where appropriate, the Company establishes accruals in accordance with FASB guidance over loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had established a litigation accrual of $2.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses for claims brought against the Company in the ordinary course
25
of business. Subsequent to year end 2022, the Company resolved certain legal claims for approximately $6.6 million, which was included in the litigation accrual as of December 31, 2022, and paid during the first half of 2023. Our accruals for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. The Company does not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of the matters for which accruals have been established will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations.
Lease commitments
The Company lease portfolio consists of office buildings, a company-owned studio, and warehouse space in the United States, England, and Australia. Certain lease agreements contain options that allow the Company to extend the lease agreement. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding guaranties of $2.6 million for lease payments related to 8 franchisee studio leases in the states of California, Maryland, and Virginia. These leases have non-cancelable remaining lease periods ranging from 1 to 10 years.
Promotional agreements
Liability-classified awards
On October 15, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with ABG-Shark, LLC (“ABG-Shark”). Pursuant to this agreement, Greg Norman agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for annual compensation. In connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, ABG-Shark became entitled to receive additional performance-based cash compensation based on the Company’s enterprise value. On the same date, Malibu Crew, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, also entered into a promotional agreement with Greg Norman, whereby, he agreed to provide certain promotional and marketing services to the Company in exchange for equity compensation equal to 15% of the fair market value of Malibu Crew, Inc. (“Malibu Crew”). Both of these promotional agreements expire on October 14, 2025.
On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with DB Ventures Limited (“DB Ventures”). Pursuant to this agreement, David Beckham agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for annual compensation. In connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, DB Ventures became entitled to receive the greater of 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock or $5.0 million on the six- and 12-month anniversaries of the Company becoming publicly traded. This agreement expires on December 5, 2025. The Company has been recognizing expenses related to the promotional activities and image rights under this agreement ratably over the five-year contractual term. As part of the agreement, the Company is obligated to create two F45 studios for DB Ventures who will then have the option to take ownership of the studios upon termination of the agreement for no additional service or consideration. In December 2021, the Company invested in a joint venture with 75% ownership in the newly incorporated CLF High Street Limited that operates the DB studios and provided $0.5 million of cash for equipment and other studio opening costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $1.4 million in expense related to this agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 914,692 of common shares vested under this agreement as a result of meeting the six-month anniversary of the Company becoming publicly traded.
On October 19, 2022, DB Ventures and ABG-Shark filed a complaint (‘the complaint”) against the Company alleging breach of contract in connection with these promotional agreements. Prior to the filing of the complaint, the Company recognized expenses associated with the DB Ventures promotional agreement over the service period which was to run through December 5, 2025. As a result of the
26
complaint, the Company determined it was no longer probable that any future services would be provided by the promoters under the agreements and for the year ended December 31, 2022, accelerated recognition of $5.6 million of additional marketing expenses equal to the fair value of 914,692 common shares vested and issued under the promotional agreement with DB Ventures which were previously expected to be recognized over the service period of the promotional agreement. The Company disputes the claims filed under the complaint and intends to vigorously defend itself. As the litigation is preliminary in nature and involves substantial uncertainties, no additional amounts have been accrued as a result of the complaint.
On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Magic Johnson
Entertainment (“MJE”). Pursuant to this agreement, MJE agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for compensation. In connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, MJE agreed to a cash payment of $4.0 million in lieu of equity compensation that MJE was entitled to receive as a result of the IPO. The prepayment of $4.0 million was recorded as Prepaid expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the amount is amortized ratably over the service period. Additionally, in connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, the Company became obligated to grant MJE a number of shares of common stock equal to the result of $5.0 million divided by the Average Trading Price upon each occurrence of a vesting event based on increases in the Company’s market capitalization as defined in the agreement. The agreement between the Company and MJE terminates on January 23, 2026.
On June 25, 2021, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Craw Daddy Productions (“CDP”). Pursuant to this agreement, effective July 1, 2021, Cindy Crawford agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for annual compensation. In connection with the Company becoming publicly traded on July 15, 2021, the Company became obligated to grant CDP a number of shares of common stock equal to the result of $5.0 million divided by the Average Trading Price upon each occurrence of a Vesting Event which is based on increases in the Company’s market capitalization as defined in the agreement. On the same date, Avalon House, a subsidiary of the Company, also entered into a promotional agreement with Cindy Crawford, whereby she agreed to provide certain promotional and marketing services to the Company in exchange for equity compensation equal to 10% of the fair market value of Avalon House. Both of these promotional agreements expire on June 30, 2026. On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into a mutual termination agreement with CDP pursuant to which both promotional agreements were terminated in exchange for a cash payment of $0.3 million.
On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Big Sky, Inc. (“Big Sky”). Pursuant to this agreement, Joe Montana agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in exchange for annual compensation. On the same date, Malibu Crew also entered into a promotional agreement with Big Sky, whereby Joe Montana agreed to provide certain promotional and marketing services to the Company in exchange for equity compensation equal to 1% of the fair market value of Malibu Crew. As part of the agreement, the Company is obligated to provide franchise rights to five Malibu Crew studios and cover costs associated with start-up of the studios, subject to the Company’s ability to recoup these start-up costs over a negotiated period of time to be defined in the underlying franchise agreements. On March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a mutual termination agreement with Big Sky in which both promotional agreements were terminated in exchange for a cash payment of $0.2 million.
No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in connection with the aforementioned promotional agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of reductions in the fair value of the liability-classified awards. The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million in connection with such promotional agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company determined that the common stock to be issued upon settlement of the remaining promotional agreements with ABG-Shark and MJE are liability-classified awards. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million of stock-based compensation liability in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Equity-classified awards
On December 17, 2021, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with Timothy Kennedy (“TK”). Pursuant to this agreement, effective December 30, 2021, TK agreed to 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.
See Note 16—Stock-based compensation for discussion on the stock option activities and total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Note 16—Stock-based compensation
2021 Incentive Plan
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”), restricted stock units (“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
28
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. SOs generally vest over to three years from the grant date. 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 SOs issued by the Company are subject to only service vesting conditions.

Note 18—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 regions 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, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The Company identified changes to the CODM group with the appointments of Robert Madore as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Tom Dowd as Interim Chief Executive Officer on February 13, 2023 and March 29, 2023, respectively. Further, on July 13, 2023, the Board appointed Patrick Grosso as Interim Chief Financial Officer, in light of the vacancy created by Robert Madore’s resignation as Interim Chief Financial Officer on July 9, 2023. There was no change in our operating or reportable segments as a result of the change in CODM. Messrs. Madore and Dowd served as the CODM that reviewed 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.

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 unaudited interim 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” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023.
Overview
We are 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 primarily 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 scalability of our model and helps to promote the success of our franchisees. We offer consumers a continuously evolving fitness program in which virtually no two workouts are ever the same. We believe our library of functional training movements 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.
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 (which for segment reporting purposes includes our operations in the United States and South America), 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. Our Australia segment also includes operations under our FS8 and Vive Active, Avalon House (which operations were wound down in 2023), and Malibu Crew brand (which operations were wound down in 2022). 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 the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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.
Key Non-GAAP Financial and Operating Metrics
In addition to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 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 the number of visits.
The following table sets forth our key performance indicators for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands except, net 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. System-wide Sales include sales by franchisees that are not revenue recognized by us in accordance with GAAP. We track System-wide Sales as an indication of the scale and growth of our franchisee network. Vive is excluded from System-wide Sales.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our System-wide Sales were approximately $136.8 million, which compares favorably to approximately $119.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as presented in the table below:

Total | $ | 136,840 | $ | 118,993 |
System-wide Sales year-over-year growth of 29% in our US segment and 35% in our ROW segment was driven by total studios open during the period. System-wide Sales year-over-year decreased by 12% for our Australian segment, driven by increased market competition, as well as fewer new studio openings during the period.
37
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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our System-wide Visits were approximately 8.2 million, which compares favorably to approximately 7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as presented in the table below:

System-wide Visits year-over-year growth of 26% in our U.S. segment and 32% in our ROW segment was driven by total studios open during the period. System-wide Visits year-over-year decreased by 12% for our Australian segment, driven by increased market competition, as well as fewer new studio openings during the period.
New Franchises Sold
New Franchises Sold refers to the number of franchises sold during any specific period, using the methodology set forth below for “Total Franchises Sold”. We classify Total Franchises Sold, as of any specified date, as (i) the total number of signed F45 and FS8 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 Total Franchises Sold from the date on which such franchise first satisfies the condition in clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable. 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 or multi-studio agreement.

Negative New Franchises Sold, net, represents periods in which terminations were in excess of New Franchises Sold. The decrease in New Franchises Sold, net, compared to the prior year is primarily due to terminations of multi-unit franchise agreements and development agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, franchise terminations exceeded New Franchises Sold by 32 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 during which New Franchises Sold exceeded franchise terminations by 706. Of these multi-unit and development agreements, approximately 887 studios are not open as of March 31, 2023. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, two development agreements, representing approximately 518 Total Franchises Sold, were not in compliance with their development schedule timelines. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, certain multi-unit franchise and development agreements were terminated resulting in 325 studios remaining unopened and 41 studios remaining as not in compliance with their development schedule timelines as of the date of this report.
New Franchises Sold, net, does not include any required openings under the terms of master franchise agreements.
Initial Studio Openings and Total Studios
Initial Studio Openings refers to the number of F45 and FS8 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, in the studio customer management platform as having generated revenue or has a recorded opening date in the franchise management platform (“Internal Systems”). Any studios that did not have an Initial Studio Opening under the prior definition are included as of October 1, 2021. Initial Studio Openings are not adjusted downward for studios that were temporarily closed due to Covid-19 pandemic or otherwise. 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. Permanent studio closures are studios in which we have executed a mutual termination or unilateral termination of the franchise agreements and whose operations have permanently ceased. Total Studios are not adjusted downward for studios that were temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic or are associated with franchise agreements that have not been terminated.
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, subsequent to this period, the Company has been unable to engage in the sale of franchises because of delays associated with completing its financial statements and related audit for the year ended December 31, 2022. Therefore, this delay, in addition to other 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Same Store Sales Growth
We use a variety of non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Same Store Sales growth.
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 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:
40
•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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filing.

(2)“Same Store Sales” means, for any reporting period, studio-level revenue generated by a comparable base of franchise studios, which we define as Total Studios that have been operating for more than 16 months. Vive is excluded from Same Store Sales figures as they are corporate-
41
owned studios. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 1,583 and 1,328 studios, respectively, in our comparable base of franchise studios.
Same Store Sales
We view Same Store Sales as a helpful measure to assess the 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;
•inflationary pressures;
•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. Vive is excluded from Same Store Sales figures as they are corporate-owned 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. However, franchises sold earlier in the Company’s operations, such as in Australia, primarily have a royalty structure that is a fixed amount per month.
Where charged, brand fund fees generally become payable at opening of the studio. Brand fund fees are generally structured as the greater of i) fixed payments of $200 per month per studio or ii) 2-3% of monthly gross sales per studio.
•Equipment and merchandise revenue: Consists of fees charged by 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
42
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. During 2022, the Company began providing short-term financing to select franchisees with payment due upon the earlier of: (i) the opening of the studio; or (ii) twelve months from the date of the order. 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, including direct marketing costs related to our brand fund. Our Cost of franchise revenue changes primarily based on the number of Total Franchises Sold and Total Studios.
•Cost of equipment and merchandise: 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 changes in Studios Open. Cost of equipment revenue is reduced by consideration (e.g., rebates) payable by the equipment supplier to the Company, 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, bad debt write-offs, 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, onboarding, technology costs related to development and maintenance of our technology-enabled centralized delivery platform, marketing and promotional activities for the F45 Training brand, and professional expenses.
•Other (income) expense, net: Our other (income) expense, net, primarily relates to realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily because the valuation allowance against all domestic and foreign deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The 2.6 million, or 108%, increase in the Provision (benefit) for income taxes, was primarily a result of the Company having recorded a valuation allowance during the second quarter of tax year 2022. As of the period ended March 31, 2023, the company’s provision for income taxes of $0.2 million primarily consists of withholding taxes on royalties paid and interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s effective tax rate of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was negative 0.9% and positive 20.3%, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2023, we held $53.8 million of Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash relating to cash held in deposits, of which $2.6 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. 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
48
March 31, 2023, the Company maintained an indefinite reinvestment assertion on any undistributed earnings and profits related to the foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States noting that its foreign operations remain in an E&P deficit.
Due to a lack of liquidity to support our ongoing business, on February 14, 2023, we entered into the Subordinated Credit Agreement (see Note 10—Debt) which provided for a $90.0 million, five-and-a-half year term loan facility at an original issue discount of 3.00% payable in kind. Approximately $20.1 million of proceeds of the Subordinated Credit Agreement were used to pay down a portion of our existing debt owed and outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
Due to our continued lack of liquidity, on October 20, 2023, we entered into an Amendment to the Subordinated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the lenders agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, to extend credit in the form of an incremental loan in an original aggregate principal amount equal to $40.0 million, upon the same terms as the original loan amount, which the Company received on October 23, 2023, provide delayed draw commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up $10 million, and extend the deadline under the Subordinated Credit Agreement with respect to the delivery of the Company’s quarterly financial statements for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2023, together with the accompanying compliance certificate, to November 8, 2023. The delayed draw commitments are available to be drawn until the date that is fifteen months following the effective date of the Amendment to the Subordinated Credit Agreement. The incremental term loans and delayed draw loans will accrue interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, payable in kind, and will mature on August 13, 2028.
On October 20, 2023, we also entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the lenders agreed to permit the incremental loans and delayed draw commitments under the Subordinated Credit Agreement, and extend the deadline under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to delivery of the Company’s quarterly financial statements for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2023, together with the accompanying compliance certificate, to November 8, 2023. In addition, the minimum liquidity covenant was amended to require that, as of the end of each fiscal month, the Company will not permit the sum of (i) Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) and (ii) any undrawn commitments under the Specified Secured Subordinated Debt (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) to be less than $10 million, provided, however, that at
no time shall the sum of (A) Unrestricted Cash and (B) any undrawn commitments under the Specified Secured Subordinated Debt be less than $7.5 million. The Fifth Amendment also required that that $5.0 million in term loans under the Senior Credit Agreement be repaid, which the Company repaid on October 23, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, our material cash requirements include contractual obligations from debt and lease obligations. Refer to Note 10—Debt and Note 15—Commitments and contingencies to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the contractual obligations related to our debt and operating leases, respectively.
We believe that our operating cash flows, proceeds from our Subordinated Credit Agreement, and cash on hand 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 liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the sale of inventory, entry into a borrowing facility with one or more lenders, and reduction in operating expenditures, legal fees, and promotional and professional advisory contracts; 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 disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023. In addition to these general
49
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. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operating or that future borrowings will be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs.

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $11.0 million, which was primarily due to a net loss of $22.7 million and net cash decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $0.5 million, offset by non-cash adjustments of $12.2 million. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $8.4 million increase in Other current assets, a $0.7 million increase in Deferred cost, a $3.8 million decrease in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1.1 million decrease in Deferred revenue, a $0.6 million increase in Inventories, a $0.3 million decrease in Income taxes payable, and a $0.5 million decrease in Lease liabilities, primarily offset by a $9.6 million decrease in Other long-term assets, a $1.1 million decrease in Prepaid expenses, a $0.7 million increase in Other long-term liabilities, and a $1.3 million increase in Interest payable, and a $2.1 million decrease in Accounts receivable, net.

50
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $0.6 million resulted primarily from purchases of intangible assets of $0.2 million and purchases of property plant and equipment of $0.6 million, offset by $0.1 million of disposal of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $3.4 million resulted primarily from purchases of property and equipment of $2.1 million and purchases of intangible assets of $1.3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $61.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to borrowings under our KLIM Term Loan of $87.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net change in cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by a $20.1 million repayment of our revolving credit facility, $5.7 million of deferred financing costs, and $0.5 million of taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $20.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $31.6 million, offset by $11.0 million of taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guaranties provided by the Company for leases for office space by unconsolidated organizations and standby letters of credits. See Note 15—Commitments and contingencies 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
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Part II Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest rate risk
As of March 31, 2023, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $53.7 million deposited with major financial institutions, which consisted of bank deposits and Restricted cash of $0.1 million. 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.
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
51
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 months ended March 31, 2023, income from operations would have decreased or increased $0.2 million 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Based upon our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
As previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023, management had identified material weaknesses within our:
• Control Environment,
• Financial Close and Reporting process
• Non-Routine Revenue Transactions and Business Process
• Accounting for Costing of Inventory and Cost of Sales
Specifically, management identified the following deficiencies:
a.Lack of Entity Level Controls that comply with the Control Environment principles of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework;
b.Accounting and financial close process lacks clearly defined processes and procedures resulting in delays in data collection, reconciliation, and financial reporting;
c.Manual processes, reconciliations and transaction processing requires additional layers of review and approval;
d.Complex transactions with complex accounting rules require an additional level of oversight and precision that is lacking;
e.Insufficient resources, including personnel, technologies, and tools, to appropriately assess and review non-routine transactions, including but not limited to impairment of goodwill and long lived-assets; and
f.Lack of segregation of duties in certain key financial reporting processes and inadequate segregation of duties in key business process controls, including privileged administrative access to the Company’s NetSuite platform.
52
The Company believes that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses mentioned above, the unaudited interim condensed 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.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Status
Based on the deficiencies identified above, the Company has identified and is looking to devise an implementation plan, additional processes, procedures and controls as noted below to improve the effectiveness of its internal controls over the financial close process:
•Board-level direction to senior management to ensure that a proper, consistent tone is communicated throughout the organization, including through changes in personnel and policies;
•Emphasis by the management team of the expectation that previously existing deficiencies will be rectified through implementation of certain processes and controls to ensure strict compliance with GAAP and regulatory requirements;
•Hire additional accounting personnel with expertise to review and identify complex agreements and the accounting related to them in compliance with GAAP;
•Develop, formalize, and implement additional management review controls across the organization in order to add more comprehensive levels of review and approval for significant non-routine transactions;
•Implement control procedures to identify and assess non-routine revenue contracts and business process changes in a timely manner;
•Provide training of standard operating procedures and internal controls to key employees within the revenue and purchasing processes;
•Leverage existing technologies within our NetSuite platform, our ERP system, to track the movement of and costing for our inventories, including implementation of a perpetual inventory system;
•Establish a more formal process for reconciling inventories in a timely manner across our geographies and create an independent review process by a qualified professional independent of the preparer;
•Standardize our process for costing inventories on a more consistent basis across our geographies leveraging our NetSuite platform;
•Onboarding additional resources and appropriate personnel necessary to effectively implement additional review and analysis procedures;
•Enhancing the use of automation within our accounting system to provide better tracking and more timely reporting of certain processes; and
•Enhancing the Company’s controls over the review of journal entries including timely monitoring and review of administrative access granted to employees.
The Company believes the actions described above will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses. However, management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and make further changes as appropriate.
53
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than those actions described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Information – Note 15—Commitments and contingencies. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.
