Forward Guidance
Peloton anticipates seasonal growth in hardware sales and modest improvement in Paid Connected Fitness Subscription churn in Q2. They also expect a sequential improvement in Paid App gross additions, offset by increased churn due to the expiration of legacy content access. A sequential decline in Q2 total gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA is expected due to a mix-shift toward Connected Fitness and higher sales and marketing expenses.
Positive Outlook
- Seasonal growth in hardware sales is expected in Q2.
- Modest sequential improvement to Paid Connected Fitness Subscription churn is anticipated.
- Sequential improvement in Paid App gross additions is expected due to improvements to the conversion funnel.
- Revenue growth acceleration in the second half of the fiscal year, fueled, in part, by the expected relaunch of Tread+.
- Continued growth of our Bike rental program and strong growth in our International markets.
Challenges Ahead
- Uncertain macroeconomic environment.
- Sequential increase in Paid App Subscription churn due to the expiration of legacy content access.
- Sequential decline in Q2 total gross margin as a result of a seasonal mix-shift toward our Connected Fitness segment.
- Sequential decline in Q2 Adjusted EBITDA due to higher sales and marketing expense.
- Uncertainty related to the performance of the Tread+ relaunch and our ability to efficiently grow Paid App subscribers.
