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 on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 29, 2020, as amended on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on August 11, 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not readily comparable against the results of our operations in the comparable prior year three and nine month period ended September 30, 2019 as a result of our acquisitions of fuboTV Pre-Merger and Facebank AG, and our acquisition of and then deconsolidation of Nexway AG and its subsidiaries.





Incorporation


fuboTV Inc. ("fuboTV" 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."

Unless the context otherwise requires, "fuboTV," "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refers to fuboTV and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and "fuboTV Pre-Merger" refers to fuboTV Inc., a Delaware corporation, prior to the Merger, and "fuboTV Sub" refers to fuboTV Media Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary following the Merger. "FaceBank Pre-Merger" refers to FaceBank Group, Inc. prior to the Merger and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Merger.





Merger with fuboTV Pre-Merger


On April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary ("Merger Sub") merged with and into fuboTV Pre-Merger, whereby fuboTV Pre-Merger continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and fuboTV Pre-Merger (the "Merger Agreement" and such transaction, the "Merger").

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), all of the capital stock of fuboTV Pre-Merger was converted into the right to receive shares of our newly-created class of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series AA Preferred Stock"). Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.8 votes per share and shall only be convertible immediately following the sale of such shares on an arms'-length basis either pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Prior to our uplist to the NYSE, the Series AA Preferred Stock benefited from certain protective provisions that would require us to obtain the approval of a majority of the shares of outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, before undertaking certain matters.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was, and after the Merger continues to be, in part, a character-based virtual entertainment business, and a developer of digital human likeness for celebrities, focused on applications in traditional entertainment, sports entertainment, live events, social networking, mixed reality (AR/VR) and artificial intelligence. As a result of the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger, a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with the Merger, on March 11, 2020, the Company and HLEE Finance S.a r.l. ("HLEE") entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2020, pursuant to which HLEE provided the Company with a $100.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility was secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. On July 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with HLEE Finance to terminate the Credit Agreement. The Company did not draw down on the Credit Agreement during its term.

On March 19, 2020, FaceBank Pre-Merger, Merger Sub, Evolution AI Corporation ("EAI") and Pulse Evolution Corporation ("PEC" and collectively with EAI, Merger Sub and FaceBank Pre-Merger, the "Initial Borrower") and FB Loan Series I, LLC ("FB Loan") entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Initial Borrower sold to FB Loan senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10.1 million (the "Senior Notes"). The Company received proceeds of $7.4 million, net of an original issue discount of $2.7 million. In connection with the FB Loan, FaceBank Pre-Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger and certain of their respective subsidiaries granted a lien on substantially all of their assets to secure the obligations under the Senior Notes. The Company made a $7.5 million payment on the Note Purchase Agreement on May 28, 2020 and paid the remaining balance of $2.6 million on July 3, 2020.

Prior to the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger and its subsidiaries were party to a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2018 (the "AMC Agreement"), with AMC Networks Ventures LLC as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent ("AMC Networks Ventures"). fuboTV Pre-Merger previously granted AMC Networks Ventures a lien on substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations thereunder. The AMC Agreement survived the Merger and, as of the Effective Time, there was $23.8 million outstanding under the AMC Agreement (excluding issuance costs). In connection with the Merger, the Company guaranteed the obligations of fuboTV Pre-Merger under the AMC Agreement on an unsecured basis. The liens of AMC Networks Ventures on the assets of fuboTV Pre-Merger are senior to the liens in favor of FB Loan and the Company securing the Senior Notes.





Nature of Business



The Company is a leading digital entertainment company, combining fuboTV Pre-Merger's direct-to-consumer live TV streaming, or vMVPD, platform with FaceBank Pre-Merger's technology-driven IP in sports, movies and live performances. We expect that this business combination will create a content delivery platform for traditional and future-form IP. We plan to leverage FaceBank Pre-Merger's IP sharing relationships with leading celebrities and other digital technologies to enhance its already robust sports and entertainment offerings.

Since the Merger, while we continue our previous business operations, we are principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news and entertainment through fuboTV. 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 started to assess expansion opportunities into international markets, with operations in Canada and the launch in late 2018 of its first ex-North America offering of streaming entertainment, to consumers in Spain.

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. The fuboTV 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.

Advertisements


Advertisement revenue consists primarily of fees charged to advertisers who want to display ads ('impressions") within the streamed content.

As a result of the deconsolidation of Nexway AG, which was effective as of March 31, 2020, the Company no longer generates revenue from software licenses.

These intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes and the deferred tax liability has been established for the amount of such temporary differences expected to reverse in periods where net operating loss carryforwards will not be available to offset the taxable income generated from these reversals.

Liquidity and Going Concern


The accompanying condensed 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.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $38.9 million, a working capital deficiency of $189.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $458.6 million at September 30, 2020. We incurred a $404.1 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. While we expect to continue incurring losses in the foreseeable future, we successfully raised $183 million in October 2020, net of offering expenses, through a public offering of our common stock. The proceeds from this offering provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue to as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued.

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.

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 spread of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID 19"). 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 virus throughout the world. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global response to curb its spread, COVID-19 may affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, fair value of stock-based awards, fair value of equity instruments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, allocating the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business acquisitions, and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Annual Report.





Revenue from Customers


We recognize revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the "revenue standard"). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service.

The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

Subscription revenue is recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to the customers. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to the advertiser, which generally is when the advertisement has been displayed.
