- The digital fitness brand saw Q4 revenue decline 4% YoY, with year-end revenue up 1% compared to 2020 and 16% over 2019.
- Net loss was $228.4M for FY2021, compared to $21.4M in 2020 and net income of $32.3M in 2019.
- The company’s subscriber base totaled 2.54M, down 3% compared to 2020, but a 50% increase compared to 2019.
Reorg. Like Peloton and iFIT, Beachbody is restructuring to lower expenses — the company laid off 10% of its workforce in Q1’22. Additionally, after its SPAC merger with smart bike maker MYXfitness, hardware sales have slowed, presenting new challenges going forward.
Further streamlining the business, Beachbody will implement a “One Brand” strategy, unifying its digital and connected fitness efforts under the Beachbody namesake.
2022 outlook. The company is forecasting Q1 2022 revenue of $170–180M. Still, it has a long road ahead to hit the $1.47B in 2022 revenue it pitched investors ahead of going public last year.
