Hello, and thank you for standing by. My name is Tiffany, and I’ll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Fubo First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise.

Thank you, Ameet, and good morning, everyone. Thank you all for joining us today to discuss Fubo's first quarter 2025 results. In the first quarter, our global streaming business exceeded our subscriber forecast and achieved our revenue guidance. We are pleased with these results, which came against a typically lighter first quarter sports calendar and a broader backdrop of economic uncertainty. Looking at our North American streaming business. We delivered 1.47 million paid subscribers, down 2.7% year-over-year, but exceeding our Q1 guidance of $1.46 million at the high point. Total revenue in the region was $407.9 million, and that was up 3.5% year-over-year. Notably, we once again improved our global profitability metrics by more than $100 million for the trailing 12 months. These results demonstrate our team's ongoing execution as we focus on profitability in 2025 for our global streaming business. We remain excited about our agreement with the Walt Disney Company to combine Fubo with Hulu + Live TV and the potential to increase competition and consumer choice in the pay TV space. We continue to work through the regulatory process and look forward to sharing more information when we are able. The streaming landscape continues to evolve and grow more fragmented, further demonstrating the importance and relevance of Fubo's aggregation model. We remain committed to providing customers multiple and flexible packaging options from skinny bundles to the full virtual pay TV bundle and everything in between. In recent months, we've seen the industry follow our lead and introduce skinny year content bundles. We are gratified by this because we believe a streaming landscape with multiple options benefits all consumers. We continue to focus on meeting consumer needs at every point along the demand curve. As we have previously communicated, our skinny bundle offering will include a sports and broadcasting service. In addition to featuring content from the Walt Disney Company, we are working hard to secure content from non-Disney programmers for the new service. It is critical for Fubo subscribers that we are able to negotiate content licensing agreements at their rates and terms. Our goal remains to launch this service for the fall sports season. In closing, we continue to focus on consumers and what they expect from a streaming service, namely premium content and innovative product experience, value and above all choice. At the same time, our priority is providing value for our shareholders, and we remain focused on achieving profitability in our streaming business this year. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress. I will now turn the call over to John Janedis, CFO to discuss our financial results in greater detail. John?

Thank you, David, and good morning, everyone. Our performance during the first quarter validates our strategy to optimize our aggregated content platform even amidst changes in the media landscape and a potentially cautious consumer outlook. We achieved North America revenue growth of 3.5% and within our guidance range, and our North America subscriber count of 1.47 million was ahead of expectations. From an advertising revenue standpoint, ad revenue for the quarter was $22.5 million down 17% year-over-year, largely due to the discontinuation of Warner Bros. Discovery and TelevisaUnivision Networks. Excluding these impacts, our underlying performance improved year-over-year. Net income from continuing operations was $188 million, or $0.55 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $56.3 million and a loss per share of $0.19 in the prior year period. It is important to note that net income includes the $220 million gain on settlement of litigation. Adjusted EPS loss improved to $0.02 and a marked improvement compared to a loss of $0.14 a year ago, as we made meaningful progress reducing non-operating expenses and narrowing adjusted losses. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $1.4 million, a $37 million improvement year-over-year, highlighting our ongoing focus on cost control, efficient growth and driving leverage in the model. Turning to cash flow. Net cash provided by operating activities was $161 million, reflecting the $220 million impact of the gain on settlement of litigation. Free cash flow improved by $9 million year-over-year to negative $62 million, as we remain disciplined in our capital allocation and working capital management. On a trailing 12 month basis, we improved both adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow by more than $100 million, underscoring the effectiveness of our profitability initiatives and operating efficiency. Looking ahead, our North America guidance for 2Q 2025 calls for subscribers of $1.225 million to $1.255 million, or a 14% year-over-year decline at the midpoint and revenue of $340 million to $350 million, a 10% decline at the midpoint. Note that this guidance includes the continued impact of our recent drop of TelevisaUnivision content and reflects the benefit of one-time sports events in 2Q 2024. For Rest of World, our Q2 guidance projects subscribers of 325,000 to 335,000, down 17% year-over-year and revenue of $6.5 million to $7.5 million, reflecting a 15% decline at the midpoint. In closing, for several years, we've been driving important investments in Fubo's technology and they made strategic content changes resulting in significantly improved profitability and cash flow under challenging circumstances. Looking ahead, we are energized by what we believe we can achieve through added scale with our pending transaction with Hulu + Live TV. In the meantime, we remain firmly focused on achieving profitability in 2025, alongside executing on our long-term strategic priorities. I would now like to turn the call over to the operator for Q&A.

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Dave Joyce with Seaport Research Partners. Please go ahead.

Thank you. On the -- a little bit more color on the content front, please. Given that TelevisaUnivision, did say on their earnings call that they would look forward to being in discussions with you again. Is there anything new that you can report on that front since they expressed that interest? And also on the content side, how are you progressing on getting your programming contracts all realigned for skinnier packages and time for the football season? Thanks.

Hey, David. This is John. I'll take the first one, and maybe David will talk to the skinny package progression. Look, on TelevisaUnivision, I would say, no update to share, but as you know, look, there's some content we've dropped in the past that we brought back. Consistent with what we said last quarter, I think we're certainly open to those discussions with acceptable terms and that's important. But in the interim, we've lowered the price on our Latino package. We're seeing solid interest and we're always looking to improve our offerings to our customers. But I'd also say, as we mentioned, the impact will continue into the second quarter. We're now about 4.5 months since the drop. But as the time goes on, the impact on our subscriber base will be more modest.

Yes. And this is David. As to the second part of your question, look, we are very focused on releasing skinny bundles. We've stated this many times. We started offering some standalone services. And early indications, really I think, create a situation for us where we feel very comfortable that there's probably a growth opportunity headed into the fall. So, we're very focused on completing our content deals with non-Disney partners. But of course, we've made it very clear that it has to be on acceptable terms at a fair market price with the same flexibility as other distributors. So, that will be our focus in the short-term, and we look forward to providing you more information as we move forward on that front.

Your next question comes from Clark Lampen with BTIG. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good morning. For David or John, I'll sort of ask the obligatory macro question, and curious, if you guys have seen any impact 2Q to date or whether maybe you expect as a result of some lag effect impact, any impact on your gross additions churn or on the ad side of your business demand in the U.S.? And then for 2Q, John, I don't know, if it's possible to quantify for us or give us a sort of even directional sense for what 2Q growth would have looked like had you not had the Copa America and Televisa impact that might be challenging to quantify, but would just be curious, I guess, if you have a sense for what like-for-like performance across the U.S. is looking like right now? Thank you.

Yeah. Sure. I'll take those, Clark. So maybe I'll start with the second question first. Look, on 2Q to your question, look, we have ongoing churn in the Latino package, as we referenced and then to your point, we had Copa last year. If I were to kind of clean it up and calculate the same-store, if you will, I would say, on a same-store basis, our subscriber growth looks to be relatively flattish. On the macro side, what I would say is, look, short answer is nothing stands out in terms of tone from both our customers and our advertising partners. I'd say on the customer side to your question, I think overall churn for our English package is relatively in line or actually slightly better on a year-over-year basis even with the price increase. I would say also that reactivations were better than we expected for the month of April, which I think is relevant given the timing of some of the macro headlines out there. And then on the advertising side, I would say, if I look at what I would just call year-to-date on a monthly basis, April is actually our best month in terms of growth. And I would say that, as a reminder, in terms of modeling that we lapped the Discovery Scripts drop as of the end of April. And so, we'll see more of a normalization of our advertising – normalization of our advertising business starting now.

Your next question comes from Laura Martin of Needham. Please go ahead.

Good morning. Okay. So David, I wanted to ask you about Rest of World. We've got the Rest of World subs down 11% for the last six months now. ARPU is down, revenues down. I know this was -- my recollection is sort of was an [indiscernible], but is this business -- is this business just in a shrink structurally? And how are you thinking about Rest of World? And then also for you, David, I wanted to know about Gen AI. What are you guys doing with Gen AI integrating some of the new forms? Are you doing anything with creative or advertising with using Gen AI tools? And then John, for you, ad revenue down 17% sort of disappointing, and I didn't understand why it mattered if we dropped certain networks? Do you guys have plenty of networks? So why would -- did they have some kind of commitment where they had to advertise with you because you have plenty of ad inventory. So I don't understand why losing two big content players would actually drive ad revenue down 17% year-over-year? Thanks, guys.

Okay. Yeah, Laura. I'll take that first question. There's a lot in there. On the Molotov side, I think we've said this many times, it's really about team technology and the synergies that we see with that business. As we've stated now since 2022, despite all of the whiplash that we've seen over this period of time from larger companies like Netflix and others and plus services, etc. Our goal has always been profitability, profitability over growth. Molotov like Fubo, we've set that same expectation, and they have to get to profitability. And we feel comfortable that they will get there. And then on the other side of that coin is the fact that we are really focused on building out our unified platform, we feel very good about where the platform is today. Fubo itself is now on that platform. We are now onboarding, Molotov and in terms of subscriber growth, it's very simple. It's a relatively straightforward formula. You have to invest in marketing. And we -- as we stated, investing in marketing is an upfront cost that has short-term cost implications, and so that has not been on the forefront for us. But yeah, international is an important piece to the long-term trajectory of this business. We see what YouTube has been able to accomplish on a global basis and where the majority of viewership and revenues coming from international. We see the same trend with Netflix, I think even Reed Hastings, when he was still CEO, had mentioned that many, many times, the importance of international. And we're getting everything ready to expand at the right moment at the right time. And so, this will be a testing ground as it has been, and we're almost there. John, would you like to take the rest of this?

Yeah. Sure. And Laura, I would just add one thing to David's comment that, to your point, even with the subscriber decline there, we had -- or the team had EBITDA that came in comfortably ahead of budget. So again, profitability remains the focus. In terms of your question on the ads, I would say a couple of things. One is, just don't forget that we do have ad insertion for those networks. So for instance, both on the Univision Nets and on the Discovery Scripts Nets, we're losing ad insertable hours. And so – and there’s a direct impact on that. If I were to normalize for that, I would tell you that Q1 would have actually been up sliding on a year-over-year basis. And I would tell you that 2Q looks to be a little bit better than Q1.

Your final question comes from Alicia Reese of Wedbush. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I have a few as well. On the ad spend, I was wondering, if you could dig in a little bit on how your gamified ads are tracking and how you can get more advertiser interest, while the budgets are tightening with features such as that. If it's gotten much traction so far, we had heard in the quarter that it has. Could you just double click on that, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah. Sure. Hey, Alicia. This is John. I’ll take it. Look, I’d actually broaden it out from gamify to what I would just call interactive ads. And look, over the past, I’d say, a couple of quarters or a few quarters you’ve seen us and read about us launching various new formats that I would just call interactive gamified, etc. We’ll also be launching shoppable. But if I take it as a larger bucket, I would say that we’re really starting to see some good traction. And so, our interactive ads are up 30% or 37% year-over-year. And I’d say that interest is actually accelerating. I’d say ad products overall in terms of big picture, up 41% year-over-year for the first half. And so, we’re seeing acceleration. Look, I would say, candidly, the sales cycle was a little bit longer than we would have expected initially. But I’d say that we’re actually like what we’re seeing. And then in terms of advertiser interest as budgets potentially shrink. Look, I think that we need to innovate. And I would say, our ad sales team was with at a conference earlier in the week, we had very strong interest from a variety of parties, including the holdcos about a new ad format that we’ve just brought to market. And I expect that I’ll start talking about that on our next quarter’s call. But we feel like what we’re seeing from our pause ads, from Marquis, among others.

There are no further questions at this time. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
