- Revenue Mix: Subscription revenue grew 2.3% YoY, driven by price increases effective in late 2025, offsetting declines in subscriber counts. Connected Fitness Products revenue declined slightly (1.2% YoY) due to lower sales of certain products, partially offset by Precor revenue growth.
- Cost Reductions: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased significantly by 27.1% YoY ($41.0 million) due to reduced headcount and reallocation of executive compensation. Sales and marketing expenses dropped 7.9% YoY.
- Debt Repayment: The company repaid the remaining $199.0 million of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 upon maturity in February 2026, reducing total debt obligations.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Restructuring Plan: The 2025 Restructuring Plan aims to achieve at least $100.0 million in run-rate savings by the end of fiscal year 2026. The company expects to incur an additional $15.0 million in cash charges and $5.0 million in non-cash charges related to this plan.
- Product Strategy: Focus has shifted to the new Cross Training Series and Pro Series. The company continues to sell refurbished Original Series Bikes but has discontinued Original Series Treads and Rows.
- Recall Contingency: A voluntary recall of the Original Series Bike+ (seat post issue) remains active. As of March 31, 2026, the company has accrued $7.2 million for this recall, a reduction from $16.5 million in the prior quarter.
- Tariffs and Trade: The company is monitoring global trade policies. While IEEPA tariffs were invalidated by the Supreme Court in February 2026, the company remains subject to Section 122 tariffs (10%). Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum were removed from fitness equipment in April 2026.
- Liquidity: Management believes existing cash ($1.1 billion) and operating cash flows are sufficient to meet needs for the next 12 months. The company has a $1.0 billion Term Loan and a $100 million Revolving Facility (undrawn).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Subscriber Churn: Verify the sustainability of the 1.2% Average Net Monthly Paid Connected Fitness Subscription Churn rate amidst declining subscriber counts (2.66 million vs 2.88 million YoY).
- Hardware Margins: Monitor Connected Fitness Products gross margin (11.3%) for pressure from tariffs, promotional discounts, and product mix shifts toward lower-margin items.
- Recall Costs: Track the $7.2 million accrual for the Bike+ seat post recall to ensure no material incremental costs arise from increased incident reports.
- Restructuring Execution: Confirm the realization of the projected $100 million run-rate savings and the timing of the remaining $20 million in restructuring charges.
- Debt Covenants: Review compliance with the Total Liquidity covenant ($250 million) and Subscription Revenue covenant ($1.2 billion trailing four-quarter) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
