The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of$207.4 million , short-term investments in time deposits of$100.0 million that mature inDecember 2022 , working capital of$38.5 million and an accumulated deficit of$1.4 billion as ofSeptember 30, 2022 . The Company incurred a net loss of$152.7 million and$409.8 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively. Since inception, the Company's operations have been financed primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities. The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and expects to incur substantial losses in the future. 9

Table of Contents fuboTV Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) As discussed further in Note 13, during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company received net proceeds of approximately$229.0 million (after deducting$4.9 million in commissions and expenses) from sales of 31,658,931 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average gross sales price of$7.39 per share pursuant to At-the-Market Sales Agreements with its sales agents. The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will provide it with the necessary liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In addition to the foregoing, the Company cannot predict the long-term impact on its development timelines, revenue levels and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors, including inflationary cost pressures and potential recession indicators. Based upon the Company's current assessment, it does not expect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic factors to materially impact the Company's operations. However, the Company is continuing to assess the impact that the spread of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors may have on its operations.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results. The results for the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year endingDecember 31, 2022 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as ofDecember 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required byU.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity withU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements, and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. 10

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents, including balances held in the Company's money market account and time-based deposits. Restricted cash primarily represents cash on deposit with financial institutions in support of a letter of credit outstanding in favor of the Company's landlord for office space. The restricted cash balance has been excluded from the cash balance and is classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands): September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 201,221 $ 374,294 Restricted cash 6,131 5,112
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 207,352
$ 379,406 Cash Reserved for Users
The Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate users' funds from
operational funds. As of
Short-term investments The Company classifies its time-based deposits as cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments if it had a term at inception of greater or less than 90 days in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The Company reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period. OnJune 27, 2022 , the Company entered into a time-based deposit totaling$100.0 million which accrues interest monthly at a rate of 2.54% and matures onDecember 27, 2022 and is included in short-term investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as ofSeptember 30, 2022 . No interest is paid until the settlement date ofDecember 27, 2022 .
At
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of demand deposits, time-based deposits and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits.
The majority of the Company's software and computer systems utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided byAmazon Web Services , which cannot be easily switched to another cloud service provider. As such, any disruption of the Company's interference withAmazon Web Services could adversely impact the Company's operations and business.
Segment and Reporting Unit Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM. The Company has two operating segments as ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 : streaming and wagering. 11

Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , included in the Company's Annual Report. Except for the accounting for the 2026 Convertible Notes discussed in Note 10 and Licensed Content below, there were no significant changes to the Company's accounting policies during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 .
Licensed Content
During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company entered into various license agreements to obtain rights to certain live sports events. Costs incurred in acquiring certain rights to live sporting events are accounted for in accordance with ASC 920, Entertainment-Broadcasters ("ASC 920"). These program rights are expensed in a manner consistent with how it expects to monetize the licensed content, which is primarily based on subscription revenue.
Cash flows for licensed content are presented within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Foreign Currency
The Company's reporting currency is theU.S. dollar while the functional currency of each non-U.S. subsidiary is determined based on the primary economic environment in which such subsidiary operates. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated intoUnited States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements intoU.S. dollars are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss).
Impairment Testing of Long-Lived Assets
Annually, or upon the identification of a triggering event, management is required to perform an evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. InAugust 2022 the Company initiated a strategic review of the Online Sportsbook, exploring a possible sale or partnership transaction, or possible dissolution. This represented a triggering event in that there will be a significant change in the extent and manner in which the long-lived assets of the Online Sportsbook will be used, and there is an expectation that the assets will be sold or otherwise disposed of. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company determined the carrying value of the asset groups, within the Online Sportsbook, exceeded future undiscounted cash flows. The Company then calculated the fair value of the asset groups as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value in certain instances. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of$35.5 million on intangible assets, prepaid market access agreements and property and equipment (see Notes 6 and Note 7).Goodwill Annually, or upon the identification of a triggering event, management is required to perform an evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill. Triggering events potentially warranting an interim goodwill impairment test include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained declines in the Company's stock price or market capitalization, considered both in absolute terms and relative to peers. We measure recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. 12

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
InAugust 2020 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separately account for an embedded conversion feature as an equity component in certain circumstances. A convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for an embedded conversion feature unless separate accounting is required for an embedded conversion feature as a derivative or under the substantial premium model. The ASU simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. Further, the ASU requires enhanced disclosures about convertible instruments. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The Company adopted the ASU 2020-06 onJanuary 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption atJanuary 1, 2022 , the Company made certain adjustments in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 10) which consists of an increase of$75.3 million in Convertible notes, net of discount, a net decrease of$87.9 million in Additional paid-in capital and a net decrease of$12.7 million in Accumulated deficit. Additionally, fromJanuary 1, 2022 , as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 10) we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount related to the previously separated equity component. 13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents fuboTV Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) After adoption, the Company accounts for the 2026 Convertible Notes as single liability measured at amortized cost. The Company did not elect the fair value option. The Company will apply the if converted methodology in computing diluted earnings per share if and when profitability is achieved. The following table summarizes the adjustments made to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as ofJanuary 1, 2022 as a result of applying the modified retrospective method in adopting ASU 2020-06 (in thousands): As Reported ASU 2020-06 As Adjusted December 31, 2021 Adjustments January 1, 2022 2026 Convertible Notes $ 316,354 $ 75,264 $ 391,618 Additional paid-in capital$ 1,691,206 $ (87,946)$ 1,603,260 Accumulated deficit$ (1,009,293) $ 12,682$ (996,611) Under the modified retrospective method, the Company does not need to restate the comparative periods in transition and will continue to present financial information and disclosures for periods beforeJanuary 1, 2022 in accordance with guidance under ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20). The adoption did not impact previously reported amounts in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and the basic and diluted net loss per share amounts. InJune 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." The ASU sets forth a "current expected credit loss" model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2019 , including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU inJanuary 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. InMarch 2019 , the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment-Broadcasters-Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. The amendments also require that an entity reassess estimates of the use of a film for a film in a film group and account for any changes prospectively. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to test for impairment a film or license agreement within the scope of ASC 920-350 at the film group level, when the film or license agreement is predominantly monetized with other films and/or licensed agreements. The Company adopted this ASU inJanuary 2022 , and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company's financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company's financial statements properly reflect the change.

In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carrybacks and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative losses in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. AtSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , the Company continued to maintain that a portion of its deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not realization threshold. Therefore, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance against such assets.

Table of Contents fuboTV Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Options The Company provides option grants to employees, directors, and consultants under the fuboTV Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2020 Plan"). The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company historically has lacked sufficient company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly-traded set of peer companies with consideration of the volatility of its own traded stock price. The risk-free interest rate is determined by referencing theU.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of options represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term. The simplified method was used because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.

As of
Performance-Based Stock Options
OnOctober 8, 2020 , the Company awarded the CEO an option which vests based upon the achievement of certain predetermined goals for each of the five years in the performance period related to stock price, revenue, gross margin, an increase in the number of subscribers, the launch of new markets and, commencing in 2023, creation of new revenue streams. The Company's board of directors (the "Board") will review attainment of such goals annually from 2021 through 2025 warranted on a given "Determination Date" (subsequent to the Company's calendar year end) to determine if any vesting is warranted. The Board may determine vesting at, above, or below 20% of the shares subject to the performance option on a given Determination Date. All shares may be eligible for vesting until the Determination Date following the 2025 calendar year. Any such vesting is subject to the CEO's continuation in service with the Company through the applicable Determination Date. Because the number of shares to be earned on each Determination Date is subject to the discretion of the Board, the compensation expense is adjusted each reporting period for changes in fair value prorated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered and based on the number of shares expected to be earned. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Board determined that the option would vest with respect to 820,000 shares for the 2021 calendar year. Upon each subsequent Determination Date in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 stock-based compensation expense will be remeasured and adjusted to reflect the grant date fair value.
Modification of Options
During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Board approved the acceleration of vesting and extended the post-termination exercisability of certain employee stock options and restricted stock units. The Company reported$2.2 million of expense during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 as a result of the accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock units. 29

The PRSUs will vest over a period of 5-calendar years through 2025, subject to the achievement of certain established performance metrics including revenue targets, subscriber targets, and the launching of new markets (and, with respect to 2023, the creation of one or more new revenue streams). The determination of the actual number of PRSUs that will vest each year during the five-year performance period will be determined upon the achievement of the predetermined performance targets. Any such vesting is subject to the employee's continuation in service with the Company through the applicable vesting date. At each reporting period, the Company will make a determination of the most likely outcome for achievement of each performance metric. This may result in a cumulative catch-up as the Company assessments are evaluated. The fair value of the PRSUs is measured based on their grant date fair value which totaled$64.4 million .

Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including relating to business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company's view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the financial statements taken as a whole. When a material loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made. Legal expenses associated with any contingency are expensed as incurred. The Company is engaged in discussions with certain third parties regarding patent licensing matters. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate whether it will be able to reach an agreement with these parties or the amount of potential licensing fees, if any, it may agree to pay in connection with these discussions, but it is possible that any such amount could be material. Following the dissolution ofFubo Gaming inOctober 2022 , the Company has received communications from several commercial partners ofFubo Gaming , alleging breach byFubo Gaming of applicable agreements. Additional allegations, or litigation, may arise againstFubo Gaming or the Company in the future related to the dissolution ofFubo Gaming , including potential breach of contract claims by other commercial partners ofFubo Gaming or claims related to guarantees by the Company ofFubo Gaming's contractual obligations. 33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents fuboTV Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) From time to time, we enter into business arrangements with vendors for technology services in the ordinary course of business. We are currently engaged in discussions with a vendor surrounding the scope of the parties' relationship and underlying obligations under the terms of their contract. This includes, among other things, the type and range of services to be provided by this vendor to the Company, the corresponding expenditures by the Company payable under the agreement, and the vendor's compliance with its good faith express and implied obligations under the contract. Accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of the Company's potential expenditures, if any, under our arrangement with this vendor, but it is possible that the amounts that the Company may pay for services under the contract could be material.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is and may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, the Company believes that the likelihood of any material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position for any such litigation or claims is remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of the costs to defend lawsuits, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis by our management of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying related notes included in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Our business motto is "come for the sports, stay for the entertainment."
First, we leverage sporting events to acquire subscribers at lower acquisition costs, given the built-in demand for sports. We then leverage our technology and data to drive higher engagement and induce retentive behaviors such as favoriting channels, recording shows, and increasing discovery through our proprietary machine learning recommendations engine. Next, we look to monetize our growing base of highly engaged subscribers by driving higher average revenue per user.
We drive our business model with three core strategies:
•Grow our paid subscriber base
•Optimize engagement and retention
•Increase monetization.
Recent Developments - Fubo Gaming Dissolution
OnOctober 17, 2022 , we filed a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of theState of Delaware to dissolve our wholly owned subsidiary, fuboGaming Inc. ("Fubo Gaming"). As previously announced, we had placed our interactive wagering business under strategic review following the decision by our Board of Directors (the "Board") not to move forward with the business without a strategic partner. In connection with the dissolution ofFubo Gaming , we concurrently ceased operation of Fubo Sportsbook (as defined below).
Nature of Business
We are a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment. Our revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements inthe United States , though we have expanded into several international markets, with operations inCanada ,Spain andFrance . Our subscription-based services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts at https://fubo.tv, through which we provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the add-ons and features best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. Our platform provides, what we believe to be, a superior viewer experience, with a broad suite of unique features and personalization capabilities such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings. We launched a business-to-consumer online mobile sportsbook ("Fubo Sportsbook") in the states ofIowa andArizona in the fourth quarter of 2021 and inNew Jersey during the third quarter of 2022. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we entered into market access agreements with third parties in various states and paid$6.2 million under those market access agreements. See Note 7 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. OnOctober 17, 2022 , we ceased operation of Fubo Sportsbook in connection with the dissolution ofFubo Gaming . See "-Recent Developments-Fubo Gaming Dissolution." 36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Segments
Prior to the third quarter of 2021, we operated our business and reported our results through a single reportable segment. As a result of the launch of our wagering business in the fourth quarter of 2021, we began to operate our business and report our results through two operating and reportable segments: streaming and wagering. These segments are components of the Company for which separate discrete financial information is available to and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). Revenue and adjusted operating expenses are the metrics reported to the Company's CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Adjusted operating expenses is calculated as operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we ceased operation of Fubo Sportsbook in connection with the dissolution ofFubo Gaming . As a result, we expect to present discontinued operations disclosures in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year endingDecember 31, 2022 and will begin to report our results through a single reportable segment effective in the first quarter of 2023.
Key Factors and Trends Impacting Performance
Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and may in the future be, affected by a number of factors and trends, such as those described in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and the following:
Brand Awareness
Building and maintaining a strong brand is important to our ability to attract and retain subscribers, as potential subscribers have a number of pay TV choices. We and our competitors must seek to attract a greater proportion of new subscribers from each other's existing subscriber bases rather than from first-time purchasers of pay TV services. As a result, we continue to experience increased competition, including from larger companies with greater resources to promote their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and TV commercials, as well as Internet advertising and website product placement. We primarily rely on paid marketing channels (such as social media, search advertising, display advertising, radio, out of home and television) to grow our brand and reach new subscribers. If these channels become less efficient our growth could be adversely affected.
Subscriber Acquisition, Retention and Engagement
Our long-term growth will depend in part on our ability to grow and retain our subscriber base, as well as increase engagement by our subscribers. The relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and product experience of our platform will impact our ability to attract and retain subscribers versus our competitors. If consumers perceive a reduction in the value of our platform because, for example, we introduce new or adjust existing features, adjust pricing or platform offerings, or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain subscribers. To the extent that our competition pursues aggressive promotional campaigns, our value proposition may also be adversely impacted.
Acceleration or Deceleration of Cord-Cutting
In recent years, including as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we and other streaming services have experienced rapid growth in adoption as consumers engage with streaming video and audio through a variety of devices, including connected TVs, mobile phones, and tablets. Although traditional pay TV currently accounts for the majority of TV viewing hours forU.S. households; the proportion has declined in recent years as customers cut the cord. While we believe consumers are increasingly favoring the streaming services based on, among other factors, customer experience and pricing considerations, these positive trends for our business may not continue during future periods. 37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Shift of Advertising Dollar Spend from Traditional Pay TV to Connected TV
Our business model depends on our ability to grow ad inventory on our platform and sell it to advertisers. We operate in a highly competitive advertising industry and we compete for revenue from advertising with other streaming platforms and services, as well as traditional media, such as radio, broadcast, cable and satellite TV, and satellite and internet radio. Many advertisers devote a substantial portion of their advertising budgets to traditional media, and we expect advertisers may do so in the future. Although traditional TV advertisers have shown a growing interest in over-the-top ("OTT") advertising, we cannot be certain that their interest will increase in the future. If advertisers do not perceive meaningful benefits of OTT advertising, the market may develop more slowly than we expect, which could adversely impact our operating results and our ability to grow our business. In addition, advertising spend is affected by broader macroeconomic conditions, and therefore economic downturns and recessionary fears may also negatively impact our ability to capture advertising dollars.
Content Acquisition and Renewal
Our ability to compete successfully will depend, among other things, on our ability to obtain desirable content and deliver it to our subscribers at competitive prices. The addition or loss of popular content or channels, including our ability to enter into new content deals or negotiate renewals with our content providers on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, could affect our results and our ability to grow our business. Content costs represent the majority of our "Subscriber related expenses" and the largest component of our total operating expenses. We have seen an increase in these costs in recent periods, and we expect further increases in the future. Moreover, the renewal of long-term content contracts may be on less favorable pricing terms in the future. As a result, our margins may face pressure if we are unable to renew our long-term content contracts on acceptable pricing and other economic terms or if we are unable to pass these increased programming costs on to our subscribers. In addition, as content providers bring to market their own direct-to-consumer streaming services, the differentiated value proposition offered by our content mix may diminish. Seasonality We generate significantly higher levels of revenue and subscriber additions in the third and fourth quarters of the year. This seasonality is driven primarily by sports leagues, specifically theNational Football League . In addition, we typically see subscribers on our platform decline from the fourth quarter of the previous year through the first and second quarter of the following year.
COVID-19 and Other Macroeconomic Factors
The widespread global impact from the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continued throughout the third quarter of 2022. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a number of precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, including by transitioning our workforce to remote working as we temporarily closed our offices beginning inMarch 2020 . We have subsequently reopened our offices; however, most of our employees continue to work remotely, and, in the long term, we expect some personnel to continue to do so on a regular basis. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. In addition, mounting inflationary cost pressures and potential recession indicators have negatively impacted the global economy. We continue to monitor the effects of the pandemic and macroeconomic environment and take appropriate steps to mitigate the impact on our business; however, the nature and extent of this impact in future periods remains difficult to predict due to numerous uncertainties outside our control.

Key Performance Metrics
We use certain key performance metrics to monitor and manage our business, including to measure our operating performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We believe these key performance metrics provide useful information to investors in evaluating our operating results in the same manner management does. Comparable information for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 is not presented for Rest of World (as defined below) metrics because until our acquisition of our French streaming service, Molotov, inDecember 2021 , we primarily operated inNorth America and therefore we believe such a comparison would not provide useful information for investors in evaluating our business. Paid Subscribers We believe the number of paid subscribers is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. Paid subscribers are total subscribers that have completed registration withFuboTV , have activated a payment method (only reflects one paying user per plan), from whichFuboTV has collected payment in the month ending the relevant period. Users who are on a free (trial) period are not included in this metric. We had 1.2 million and 0.9 million paid subscribers inthe United States andCanada ("North America" or "NA") as ofSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.4 million paid subscribers in the remaining territories in which the Company operates ("Rest of World" or "ROW") as ofSeptember 30, 2022 .
Average Revenue Per User
Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") is calculated using GAAP Subscription revenue andGAAP Advertising revenue. Previously, ARPU was calculated using Platform Bookings, which consisted of GAAP Subscription revenue andGAAP Advertising revenue, adjusted for deferred revenue. We believe ARPU provides useful information for investors to gauge the revenue generated per subscriber on a monthly basis. ARPU, with respect to a given period, is defined as total Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue recognized in such period, divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period, divided by the number of months in such period. Advertising revenue, like Subscription revenue, is primarily driven by the number of subscribers to our platform and per-subscriber viewership such as the type of, and duration of, content watched on platform. We believe ARPU is an important metric for both management and investors to evaluate the Company's core operating performance and measure our subscriber monetization, as well as evaluate unit economics, payback on subscriber acquisition cost and lifetime value per subscriber. In addition, we believe that presenting a geographic breakdown forNorth America ARPU and ROW ARPU allows for a more meaningful assessment of the business because of the significant differences in both Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue generated on a per subscriber basis inNorth America when compared to ROW due to our current subscription pricing models and advertising monetization in the two geographic regions. Our NA ARPU was$71.52 and$70.19 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and our ROW ARPU was$5.46 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 . 44

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. See Note 14 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of our cash commitments and contractual obligations as ofSeptember 30, 2022 , including lease obligations, market access agreements and sponsorship agreements, in addition to our discussion below regarding the dissolution ofFubo Gaming inOctober 2022 . 45

Our primary sources of cash are receipts from subscribers and advertising revenue as well as proceeds from equity and debt financings. Our primary uses of cash are content and programming license fees and operating expenses, including payroll-related, marketing, technology and professional fees. In addition, prior to the dissolution of our subsidiary,Fubo Gaming , onOctober 17, 2022 and the concurrent termination of operations of Fubo Sportsbook, as previously announced, our primary uses of cash included expenses related to the launch and operations of our wagering business. We successfully raised$389.4 million , net of offering expenses, through the sale of 3.25% senior convertible notes inFebruary 2021 . We currently have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-258428) initially filed with theSEC onAugust 4, 2021 , as amended (the "2021 Form S-3") pursuant to which we may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units of up to$750.0 million in the aggregate. We also have an additional effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No 333-266557) under which we may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units of up to$750.0 million in the aggregate. OnAugust 13, 2021 , we entered into a sales agreement withEvercore Group L.L.C., Needham & Company, LLC andOppenheimer & Co. Inc. , as sales agents, under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to$500.0 million through the sales agents (the "2021 ATM Program") under our 2021 Form S-3. OnAugust 4, 2022 , we terminated the 2021 ATM Program, and entered into a sales agreement withEvercore Group L.L.C. ,Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ,Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC andNeedham & Company, LLC , as sales agents pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to$350.0 million through the sales agents (the "2022 ATM Program") under our 2021 Form S-3. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we sold 31,658,931 shares of our common stock in At-the-Market offerings pursuant to the 2021 Form S-3 and the 2021 ATM Program and 2022 ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately$229.0 million , after deducting agent commissions and issuance costs. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of$207.4 million and short-term investments consisting of time-based deposits of$100.0 million that will mature inDecember 2022 . As a result of the dissolution ofFubo Gaming and termination of Fubo Sportsbook operations, we expect that our planned cash outlay over the next twelve months will be reduced, which we believe will allow us to allocate additional funds to our streaming segment. We expect to incur immaterial charges for severance and other employee-related costs. We also expect to incur other cash charges, including in connection with market access agreements and sponsorship agreements, the amount and timing of which cannot be estimated at this time. We may be required to seek additional capital, including in the event we engage in repurchases of our debt or equity securities in the future. In the future, we expect to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our capital stock or offering additional debt or other equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity, or shares of preferred stock. Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or additional securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders, reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their percentage ownership. If we are unable to raise additional capital due to unfavorable market conditions, including rising interest rates, or otherwise, or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, operations, and financial condition. 46

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully attract and retain subscribers, develop new technologies that can compete in a rapidly changing market with many competitors and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisting of time-based deposits, will provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months. In addition to the foregoing, based on our current assessment, we do not expect any material impact on our long-term development timeline and our liquidity due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented to combat the pandemic throughout the world. Although the number of people who have been vaccinated has been increasing, the duration and severity of this pandemic is unknown and the potential future impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity depends on factors beyond our knowledge and control. See Note 10 in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our outstanding indebtedness.

These proceeds were offset by repayments of$24.7 million of outstanding debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, allocating the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of warrants, and equity instruments and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year or earlier when circumstances dictate. We measure recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The process of determining the fair value of a reporting unit is highly subjective and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In performing our annual assessment, we can opt to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment or we can directly perform a quantitative assessment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of our reporting unit is, more-likely-than-not, less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative assessment is performed. Any excess of the reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value will be recorded as an impairment loss. We identify intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determine their fair value. The determination involves certain judgments and estimates. We amortize purchased-intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. We review purchased-intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances indicate an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of purchased-intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the asset group against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of these asset groups. If the useful life of the asset is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. 48
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Due to the previously announced strategic review of the wagering segment, during the third quarter of 2022, we tested our long-lived assets for impairment, including amortizing intangibles and other non-current assets, as there were indicators that their carrying value might not be recoverable. We compared the carrying value to the forecasted undiscounted cash flows for each asset or asset group, and because this evaluation indicated that the carrying value of our long-lived assets was not recoverable, we performed an impairment test of these assets. Based on these analyses, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of$35.5 million during the third quarter of 2022 to reduce the carrying amounts of the asset or asset group to their fair values. The determination of the fair value of the asset groups within the wagering reporting unit was predominately based on an income approach that considered the discounted cash flows of each asset group. The total fair value of the asset groups was then compared to the fair value of the wagering unit as a whole which was determined based on a combination of a market approach that considers benchmark company market multiples and market multiples derived from the value of recent transactions, and an income approach that utilizes discounted cash flows for the reporting unit, with equal weighting applied to each of the approaches. We believe the assumptions utilized in the valuations reflect those that would be utilized by a hypothetical market participant. See Note 6 and Note 7 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of impairment charges recognized with respect to property and equipment, and intangible assets and other long-lived assets, respectively. There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Annual Report.
