Organization and Nature of Business | Organization and Nature of Business Incorporation fuboTV Inc. (“Fubo” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name York Entertainment, Inc. The Company changed its name to FaceBank Group, Inc. on September 30, 2019. On August 10, 2020, the Company changed its name to fuboTV Inc. and as of May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “FBNK” to “FUBO.” The Company’s common stock was approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in connection with a public offering in October 2020 and commenced trading on the NYSE on October 8, 2020. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Fubo,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Nature of Business The Company is principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment through its streaming platform. The Company’s revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements in the United States, though the Company has expanded into several international markets, with operations in Canada, Spain and France. The Company’s subscription-based streaming services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts through which the Company provides basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase incremental features that include additional content or enhanced functionality ("Attachments") best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. The Fubo platform provides a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine, as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings. Recent Developments On January 6, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”) and Hulu, LLC (“Hulu”), which contemplates, among other things, (i) Hulu contributing certain assets (the “HL Business Assets”) related to the business of negotiating and administering carriage agreements and similar contracts relating to and for the purpose of the retransmission, distribution, carriage, display or broadcast of any programming service, channel or network on the HL DMVPD Service (as defined below) to a newly formed entity to be jointly owned by Hulu and the Company (“Newco”), (ii) the Company undergoing an umbrella partnership C corporation reorganization (the “Up-C Reorganization”) and contributing its business to Newco in exchange for units in Newco (“Newco Units”) such that, after giving effect to such contribution, Hulu will hold a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 70% economic interest in Newco and the Company will hold a number of Newco Units representing, in the aggregate, a 30% economic interest in Newco, and (iii) the Company issuing to Hulu shares of a newly created vote-only class of the Company’s common stock (“Class B Common Stock”) representing, in the aggregate, a 70% voting interest in the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The HL Business Assets will include certain carriage agreements, rights under joint subscription agreements and related data and information about its subscribers, advertising or sponsorship agreements exclusively related to Hulu’s linear multi-channel subscription video programming distribution service component of the offering known as “Hulu + Live TV” as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and operated by Hulu (such service, the “HL DMVPD Service”), all other assets (including intellectual property) exclusively related to the HL DMVPD Service and all intellectual property constituting the “Live TV” brand. Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in connection with the Up-C Reorganization, the Company will, among other things, (i) effect a conversion from a Florida corporation to a Delaware corporation pursuant to a plan of conversion and (ii) authorize and adopt a new certificate of incorporation and adopt new bylaws, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. At the Closing, the Company and Hulu, as the members of Newco, will adopt, and Newco will thereafter be governed by, an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Newco (the “Newco Operating Agreement”). The Newco Operating Agreement will provide, among other things, Hulu a redemption right pursuant to which Hulu may cause Newco to redeem all or a portion of its Newco Units, together with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock, in exchange for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock or, at the Company’s option, cash, subject to the Company’s right to elect to effect, in lieu of such a redemption, a direct exchange between the Company and Hulu of cash or an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock for such Newco Units and Class B Common Stock. The Closing is subject to certain closing conditions specified in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among other things, obtaining requisite shareholder and regulatory approval. Hulu will be required to pay to the Company a termination fee in the amount of $130.0 million in the event of a termination of the Business Combination Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including if the Business Combination fails to close due to the failure to obtain requisite regulatory approvals on the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Conversely, the Company will be required to pay Hulu a termination fee in amount of $50.0 million in the event of a termination of the Business Combination Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including if the Company implements a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and an affiliate of Disney entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which such affiliate committed to provide the Company, on January 5, 2026 and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, up to $145.0 million of indebtedness in the form of a senior unsecured term loan (the “Facility”), subject to customary conditions. The proceeds of the Facility will be used for general corporate purposes of the Company. The funding of the Facility under the Commitment Letter is not contingent on the occurrence of the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The Company will account for the acquisition contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). On January 6, 2025, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company settled its antitrust litigation (the "Antitrust Settlement") against The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”), Fox Corporation (“Fox”), and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“WBD”) and their affiliates (collectively, the “Defendants”). In conjunction therewith, the Defendants made an aggregate cash payment to the Company of $220.0 million, which has been recorded within non-operating gain on settlement of litigation, net on the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Revision of previously issued interim financial statements (unaudited) During the preparation of the second quarter 2025 financial statements, management identified an error in the calculation of diluted earnings per share related to the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management determined that it did not properly include potential common stock equivalents related to the Company’s convertible debt instruments, stock options, and unvested restricted stock units in the weighted-average shares outstanding calculation which resulted in an overstatement of diluted earnings per share. Management determined that the error was not material to the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, management will revise the calculation in future filings. This matter also had a corresponding impact on the Company’s disclosure of the quantity of potential common stock equivalents excluded from diluted earnings per share (as such shares were previously disclosed as excluded shares). The impact of the revision for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (for the three months ended March 31, 2025) is as follows:
(1) Reflects interest expense incurred, net of tax, associated with convertible note activity during the period as evaluated under the if-converted method.
