The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2022 , filed with theSEC onSeptember 7, 2022 ("Form 10-K"). As discussed in the section titled "Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements," the following discussion and analysis contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K. Overview Peloton is the largest interactive fitness platform in the world with a loyal community of 6.7 million Members as ofDecember 31, 2022 . We pioneered connected, technology-enabled fitness, and the streaming of immersive, instructor-led boutique classes to our Members anytime, anywhere. We make fitness entertaining, approachable, effective, and convenient, while fostering social connections that encourage our Members to be the best versions of themselves. We define a Member as any individual who has a Peloton account through a paid All-Access Membership, or a paid Peloton App subscription. Our Connected Fitness Product portfolio includes the Peloton Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, Guide, and Row. Our revenue is generated primarily from recurring Subscription revenue and the sale of our Connected Fitness Products. We have historically experienced significant growth in sales of ourConnected Fitness Products, which, when combined with our low Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn has led to significant growth in Connected Fitness Subscriptions.
Our financial profile has been characterized by strong retention, recurring revenue, and efficient customer acquisition. Our low Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn, together with our high Subscription Contribution Margin, yields an attractive lifetime value (LTV) for our Connected Fitness Subscriptions well in excess of our customer acquisition cost (CAC). Maintaining an attractive LTV/CAC ratio is a primary goal of our customer acquisition strategy.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Update and Recent Developments As we have previously disclosed, forecasting for our business during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in its more recent stages, has proven to be very challenging. While we have been able to grow more than we anticipated just over two years ago, fluctuations in demand and supply that we have been navigating during this time period led us to grow our operations beyond what we believe is currently best suited to our business. Although our belief in the positive long-term outlook forConnected Fitness remains unchanged, the long-term cost demands of our business require us to recalibrate our near-term expectations. Additionally, while demand for ourConnected Fitness Products has continued to strongly outpace pre-pandemic levels, we have had significant difficulty in forecasting near-term consumer demand and, as a result, our expected near-term operating performance. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Our operating results have been, and could in the future be, adversely affected if we are unable to accurately forecast consumer demand for our products and services and adequately manage our inventory" in our Form 10-K. Product and Content Highlights Our annualThanksgiving Day and "Turkey Burn" classes were again a Member hit, with over 790 thousand Members completing 1.3 million workouts. Responding to member feedback for new and innovative class formats, November saw the debut of "LOL Cody", our first "variety class" series created to break down pop culture's biggest moments. Cycling instructorCody Rigsby hosted a collection of live classes featuring special guests such asMariah Carey ,Carly Rae Jepsen ,Bowen Yang , andMatt Rogers , as well as drop-ins by guest Peloton instructors. November also saw the launch of our "Extra 10" series, a collection of classes designed to provide members ten extra minutes of focused workout time, without warm-up introductions. Extra 10s are a mixture of intervals, climbs, and low-impact cycling and Tread classes, which we plan to extend to additional modalities in the new calendar year. An instant hit with Members, Extra 10s saw over 1.3 million workouts taken in the quarter by over 540 thousand Members.
In December, we officially launched and began deliveries of our new
To support our growing community of Tread users,Logan Aldridge ,Hannah Frankson ,Camila Ramon , andAlex Toussaint joined our Tread instructor roster during the quarter, bringing our Tread instructor count up to 24. In the quarter, we produced over 700 classes across our running, walking, and Tread bootcamp modalities, bringing our total Tread class count to over 7,300 at quarter's end. Lastly, in December we announced that our award-winning Tread will be available inAustralia starting in February. Restructuring Plan InFebruary 2022 , we announced and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign our operational focus to support our multi-year growth, scale the business, and improve costs (the "Restructuring Plan"). The Restructuring Plan originally included: (i) reducing our headcount; (ii) closing several assembly and manufacturing plants, including the completion and subsequent sale of the shell facility for our previously plannedPeloton Output Park ; (iii) closing and consolidating several distribution facilities; and (iv) shifting to third-party logistics providers in certain locations. We expect the Restructuring Plan to be substantially implemented by the end of fiscal 2024.
In
25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, onAugust 12, 2022 , we announced our decision to perform the following additional restructuring activities: (i) fully transition our North American Field Operations to third-party providers, including the significant reduction of our delivery workforce teams; (ii) eliminate a significant number of roles on the North America Member Support team and exit our real-estate footprints in our Plano and Tempe locations; and (iii) reduce ourNorth America retail showroom presence. OnOctober 6, 2022 , we announced approximately 500 global team member positions have been eliminated. Total charges related to the Restructuring Plan were$62.4 million and$232.2 million for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively. Total charges for the three months endedDecember 31, 2022 consisted of cash charges of$34.1 million for severance and other personnel costs and$8.9 million for professional fees and other related charges, and non-cash charges of$9.7 million related to non-inventory asset write-downs and write-offs and$6.0 million for stock-based compensation expense. Total charges for the six months endedDecember 31, 2022 consisted of cash charges of$61.1 million for severance and other personnel costs and$12.0 million for professional fees and other related charges, and non-cash charges of$72.6 million related to non-inventory asset write-downs and write-offs and$82.8 million for stock-based compensation expense. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company estimates that it will incur additional cash charges of approximately$35 million , primarily composed of severance and other exit costs in fiscal year 2023 and beyond. Additionally, the Company expects to recognize additional non-cash charges of approximately$25 million , primarily composed of asset impairment and stock-based compensation charges in fiscal year 2023 in connection with the Restructuring Plan. We may not be able to fully realize the cost savings and benefits initially anticipated from the Restructuring Plan, and the expected costs may be greater than expected. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-We may not successfully execute or achieve the expected benefits of our restructuring initiatives and other cost-saving measures we may take in the future, and our efforts may result in further actions and/or additional asset impairment charges and adversely affect our business" in our Form 10-K. Product Recall Update OnMay 5, 2021 , we announced separate, voluntary recalls of each of our Tread+ and Tread products in collaboration with theConsumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC") and halted sales of these products to work on product enhancements. Members were notified that they could return their Tread or Tread+ for a full refund, or wait until a solution is available. Tread+ owners were also given the option to have Peloton move their Tread+ to a different location within their home. We announced a repair for the Tread inAugust 2021 , shortly before resuming sales. We continue to work on potential hardware enhancements for Tread+, which remains recalled. InAugust 2022 , the CPSC notified us that the agency staff believes we failed to meet our statutory obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act (the "CPSA"), and, inJanuary 2023 , the CPSC announced a settlement involving civil monetary penalties. To continue our cooperation with the CPSC, we agreed to pay the$19.1 million civil penalty, resolving the CPSC's charges that we knowingly failed to immediately report hazards associated with the Tread+, and we continue to work cooperatively with the CPSC to further enhance the safety of our products. OnOctober 18, 2022 , we announced a one-year extension of the full refund period for our Tread+ if consumers wish to return their Tread+ pursuant to the recall. With the extension of the full refund period by one additional year, toNovember 6, 2023 , the Company expects that more Members will opt for a full refund, and has accordingly increased the Company's return reserve. For the recall-to-date period, the Company recognized a reduction to Connected Fitness Products revenue for actual and estimated future returns of$166.9 million , and return reserves of$44.5 million and$26.7 million were included within Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the impacts of the recall as ofDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We may continue to incur additional costs that could include costs for which we have not accrued or established adequate reserves, including increases to the return reserves, inventory write-downs, logistics costs associated with Member requests to return or move their hardware, subscription waiver variable costs of service, anticipated recall-related hardware development and repair costs, and related legal and advisory fees. Recall charges are based upon estimates associated with our expected and historical consumer response rates. Our plan for the Tread+ recall is still being finalized and actual costs related to this matter may vary from the estimate, and may result in further impacts to our future results of operations and business. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Connected Fitness Products and Members-We may be subject to warranty claims that could result in significant direct or indirect costs, or we could experience greater product returns than expected, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results" in our Form 10-K. 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Operational and Business Metrics In addition to the measures presented in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operational and business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

Connected Fitness Subscriptions Our ability to expand the number of Connected Fitness Subscriptions is an indicator of our market penetration and growth. We define a "Connected Fitness Subscription" as a person, household, or commercial property, such as a hotel or residential building, who has either paid for a subscription to a Connected Fitness Product (a Connected Fitness Subscription with a successful credit card billing or with prepaid subscription credits or waivers) or requested a "pause" to their subscription for up to three months. We do not include canceled or unpaid Connected Fitness Subscriptions in the Connected Fitness Subscription count. A subscription is canceled and ceases to be reflected in the above metrics as of the effective cancellation date, which is the Member's next scheduled billing date. Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn We use Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn to measure the retention of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions. We define "Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn" as Connected Fitness Subscription cancellations, net of reactivations, in the quarter, divided by the average number of beginning Connected Fitness Subscriptions in each month, divided by three months. When a Connected Fitness Subscription payment method fails, we communicate with our Members to update their payment method and make multiple attempts over several days to charge the payment method on file and reactivate the subscription. We cancel a Member's Connected Fitness Subscription when it remains unpaid for two days after their billing cycle date. This metric does not include data related to our Peloton Digital subscriptions for Members who pay a monthly fee for access to our content library on their own devices.

As of
27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If a Connected Fitness Subscription owns a combination of a Bike, Tread, Guide or Row product in the same household, the price of the Subscription remains$44 monthly (price increased from$39 to$44 USD effective as ofJune 1, 2022 ). As ofDecember 31, 2022 , approximately 7% of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions owned both a Bike and Tread product. Cost of revenue Connected Fitness Products Connected Fitness Product cost of revenue consists of our portfolio of Connected Fitness Products and branded apparel product costs, including manufacturing costs, duties and other applicable importing costs, shipping and handling costs, packaging, warranty replacement and service costs, fulfillment costs, warehousing costs, depreciation of property and equipment, and certain costs related to management, facilities, and personnel-related expenses associated with supply chain logistics.
Subscription
Subscription cost of revenue includes costs associated with content creation and costs to stream content to our Members. These costs consist of both fixed costs, including studio rent and occupancy, other studio overhead, instructor and production personnel-related expenses, depreciation of property and equipment as well as variable costs, including music royalty fees, content costs for past use, third-party platform streaming costs, and payment processing fees for our monthly subscription billings. Operating expenses Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expense consists of performance marketing media spend, asset creation, and other brand creative, all showroom expenses and related lease payments, payment processing fees incurred in connection with the sale of our Connected Fitness Products, sales and marketing personnel-related expenses, expenses related to the Peloton App, and depreciation of property and equipment. General and administrative General and administrative expense includes personnel-related expenses and facilities-related costs primarily for our executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, IT functions and member support. General and administrative expense also includes fees for professional services principally comprised of legal, audit, tax and accounting services, depreciation of property and equipment, and insurance, as well as litigation settlement costs. Research and development Research and development expense primarily consists of personnel and facilities-related expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, tooling and prototype materials, software platform expenses, and depreciation of property and equipment. We capitalize certain qualified costs incurred in connection with the development of internal-use software that may also cause research and development expenses to vary from period to period. Impairment expense Impairment expense consists of non-cash impairment charges relating to long-lived assets. Impairments are determined using management's judgment about our anticipated ability to continue to use fixed assets in-service and under development, current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management disposes of fixed assets during the regular course of business due to damage, obsolescence, strategic shifts, and loss. Additionally, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted net future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Restructuring expense Restructuring expense consists of severance and other personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, professional services, facility closures and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities. Supplier settlements Supplier settlements are payments made to third-party suppliers to terminate certain future inventory purchase commitments. Non-operating income and expenses Other income (expense), net Other income (expense), net consists of interest income (expense), unrealized and realized gains (losses) on investments, and impacts from foreign exchange transactions. 28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income tax provision The provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to state and international taxes for jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a valuation allowance on the majority of our deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be utilized.

OnJuly 1, 2022 , the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") approved accelerating the vesting requirement for unvested restricted stock units held by certain employees by one year. This applied to eligible unvested restricted stock units that had more than eight quarterly vesting dates remaining in their vesting schedule. The acceleration resulted in approximately$5.1 million and$31.7 million of stock-based compensation expense being pulled forward and recognized in the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 . Additionally, onJuly 1, 2022 , the Compensation Committee approved a one-time repricing of certain stock option awards that had been granted to date under the 2019 Plan. The repricing impacted stock options held by all employees who remained employed throughJuly 25, 2022 . The repricing did not apply to ourU.S. -based hourly employees (or employees with equivalent roles in non-U.S. locations) or our C-level executives. The modification resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of$21.9 million in the aggregate. Approximately$4.7 million was recognized immediately during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , for vested options, with the remainder to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting term of approximately 2.9 years. ____________________

These decreases were primarily attributable to fewer Bike, Tread and Accessory deliveries due to a return to our historical seasonality following the strong demand for home fitness in fiscal 2022 attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by revenues generated fromPeloton Row which launched in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Subscription revenue increased$73.7 million and$181.9 million for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively, compared to the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2021 . These increases were primarily attributable to the year-over-year growth in our Connected Fitness Subscriptions and the price increase of the All-Access membership fee from$39 to$44 , effective as ofJune 1, 2022 . The growth of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions was primarily driven by the number of Connected Fitness Products delivered during the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2022 and the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 under new Subscriptions and our low Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn of 1.14% for both the three and six month periods endingDecember 31, 2022 .

Our Connected Fitness Products Gross Margin decreased to (11.2)% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2022 compared to 6.5% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2021 , primarily driven by promotional pricing in place during the quarter as well as inventory reserves and write downs, partially offset by reduced payroll expenses resulting from restructuring efforts. Subscription cost of revenue for the three months endedDecember 31, 2022 increased$25.5 million , or 23.6%, compared to the three months endedDecember 31, 2021 . This increase was primarily driven by an increase of$17.9 million in music royalties and platform streaming costs, and an increase of$4.8 million in stock-based compensation expense primarily driven by the acceleration of certain restricted stock unit vesting schedules and an increased number of awards vesting.
Subscription Gross Margin remained consistent for the three months ended

Research and development expense decreased$19.8 million and$29.4 million in the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively, when compared to the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2021 . These decreases were primarily due to decreases in product development and research costs associated with development of new software features and products of$7.7 million and$17.4 million during the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively. Additionally, decreases of$4.1 million and$8.0 million for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively, were driven by decreased costs associated with software and web platform costs. The decreases were also due to decreases in personnel-related expenses of$8.1 million and$15.1 million for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively, primarily due to decreased average headcount. The overall decreases in research and development expenses were partially offset by increases in stock-based compensation expense of$2.7 million and$16.0 million for the three and six months ended 32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------December 31, 2022 , respectively, primarily driven by an acceleration of certain restricted stock unit vesting schedules, the repricing of certain stock option awards, and an increased number of awards vesting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in
Adjusted EBITDA We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; impairment expense; product recall costs; litigation and settlement expenses; transaction and integration costs; reorganization, severance, exit, disposal and other costs associated with restructuring plans; supplier settlements; and other adjustment items that arise outside the ordinary course of our business. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons: •Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired; •Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and •Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows: •Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; •Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; •Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; •Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain litigation expenses, consisting of legal settlements and related fees for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of the ordinary course of business based on the following considerations which we assess regularly: (1) the frequency of similar cases that have been brought to date, or are expected to be brought within two years; (2) the complexity of the case; (3) the nature of the remedy(ies) sought, including the size of any monetary damages sought; (4) offensive versus defensive posture of us; (5) the counterparty involved; and (6) our overall litigation strategy;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for goodwill and fixed assets, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of purchase accounting adjustments
to inventory related to the
34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect costs associated with Tread and Tread+ product recalls including increases to the return reserves, Tread+ inventory write-downs, logistics costs associated with Member requests on Tread and Tread+, the cost to move the Tread+ for those that elect the option, subscription waiver costs of service, and recall-related hardware development and repair costs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect reorganization, severance, exit, disposal and other costs associated with restructuring plans;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-recurring supplier settlements; and
•The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results and we may, in the future, exclude other significant, unusual expenses or other items from these financial measures. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures can be limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated: Adjusted EBITDA Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (dollars in millions) Net loss$ (335.4) $

These include a reduction to Connected Fitness Products revenue for actual and estimated future returns of zero and$26.5 million , recorded costs in Connected Fitness Products cost of revenue associated with inventory write-downs and logistic costs of zero and$2.5 million , and operating expenses of$2.3 million and$2.3 million associated with recall-related hardware development costs, in each case for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively. For the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2021 , these include a reduction to Connected Fitness Products revenue for actual and estimated future returns of$7.4 million and$18.9 million , recorded costs in Connected Fitness Products cost of revenue associated with inventory write-downs and logistic costs of$5.2 million and$5.7 million , and operating expenses of$2.1 million and$3.0 million associated with recall-related hardware development costs, respectively. (2) Includes litigation-related expenses and settlement for certain non-recurring patent infringement litigation, securities litigation, consumer arbitration, and product recalls for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021. Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin We define "Subscription Contribution" as Subscription revenue less cost of Subscription revenue, adjusted to exclude from cost of Subscription revenue, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense. Subscription Contribution Margin is calculated by dividing Subscription Contribution by Subscription revenue. We use Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin to measure our ability to scale and leverage the costs of ourConnected Fitness Subscriptions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results because our management uses Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. The use of Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider these in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows: 35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and •Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
Because of these limitations, Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Subscription Contribution to Subscription Gross Profit, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (dollars in millions) Subscription Revenue$ 411.3 $ 337.5 $ 823.6 $ 641.7 Less: Cost of Subscription 133.4 107.9 272.9 209.4 Subscription Gross Profit$ 277.9 $ 229.6 $ 550.7 $ 432.3 Subscription Gross Margin 67.6 % 68.0 % 66.9 % 67.4 % Add back: Depreciation and amortization expense $ 8.8$ 6.4 $ 17.3 $ 11.9 Stock-based compensation expense 10.0 5.1 22.7 8.7 Subscription Contribution$ 296.6 $ 241.2 $ 590.7 $ 452.9 Subscription Contribution Margin 72.1 % 71.4 % 71.7 % 70.6 % The continued growth of our Connected Fitness Subscription base will allow us to improve our Subscription Contribution Margin. While there are variable costs, including music royalties, associated with our Connected Fitness Subscriptions, a significant portion of our content creation costs are fixed given that we operate with a limited number of production studios and instructors. We expect the fixed nature of those expenses to scale over time as we grow our Connected Fitness Subscription base. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow as Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized internal-use software development costs. Free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides management, investors and other users of our financial information with a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. The use of Free Cash Flow as an analytical tool has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, Free Cash Flow does not incorporate payments made for purchases of marketable securities, business combinations and asset acquisitions. Because of these limitations, Free Cash Flow should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in millions) Net cash used in operating activities $ (88.5)$ (446.6) $ (291.3) $ (1,007.6) Capital expenditures and capitalized internal-use software development costs (5.9) (100.1) (49.5) (191.0) Free Cash Flow $ (94.4)$ (546.7) $ (340.7) $ (1,198.6) 36
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources Our operations have been funded primarily through net proceeds from the sales of our equity and convertible debt securities, and term loan, as well as cash flows from operating activities. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we had Cash and cash equivalents of approximately$871.0 million . We anticipate capital expenditures over the next 12 months which include capitalized labor, investments in content and our studios, product development and systems implementation, offset by any proceeds from the expected eventual sale ofPeloton Output Park . We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, timing to adjust our supply chain and cost structures in response to material fluctuations in product demand, timing and amount of spending related to acquisitions, the timing and amount of spending on research and development and manufacturing initiatives, the timing and financial impact of product recalls, sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our Connected Fitness Products, timing and investments needed for international expansion, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. Restructuring Plan InFebruary 2022 , we announced and began implementing the Restructuring Plan to realign our operational focus to support our multi-year growth, scale the business, and improve costs. The Restructuring Plan originally included: (i) reducing our headcount; (ii) closing several assembly and manufacturing plants, including the completion and subsequent sale of the shell facility for our previously plannedPeloton Output Park ; (iii) closing and consolidating several distribution facilities; and (iv) shifting to third-party logistics providers in certain locations. We expect the Restructuring Plan to be substantially implemented by the end of fiscal 2024. InJuly 2022 ,August 2022 andOctober 2022 , the Company took actions to update the Restructuring Plan. OnJuly 12, 2022 , we announced we are exiting all owned-manufacturing operations and our expansion of our current relationship with Taiwanese manufacturer Rexon Industrial Corporation. Additionally, onAugust 12, 2022 , we announced the decision to perform the following additional restructuring activities: (i) fully transition our North American Field Operations to third-party providers, including the significant reduction of our delivery workforce teams; (ii) eliminate a significant number of roles on the North America Member Support team and exit our real-estate footprints in our Plano and Tempe locations; and (iii) reduce ourNorth America retail showroom presence. OnOctober 6, 2022 , we announced approximately 500 global team member positions have been eliminated. Total charges related to the Restructuring Plan were$62.4 million and$232.2 million for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2022 , respectively. Total charges for the three months endedDecember 31, 2022 consisted of cash charges of$34.1 million for severance and other personnel costs and$8.9 million for professional fees and other related charges, and non-cash charges of$9.7 million related to non-inventory asset write-downs and write-offs and$6.0 million for stock-based compensation expense. Total charges for the six months endedDecember 31, 2022 consisted of cash charges of$61.1 million for severance and other personnel costs and$12.0 million for professional fees and other related charges, and non-cash charges of$72.6 million related to non-inventory asset write-downs and write-offs and$82.8 million for stock-based compensation expense. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company estimates that it will incur additional cash charges of approximately$35 million , primarily composed of severance and other exit costs in fiscal year 2023 and beyond. Additionally, the Company expects to recognize additional non-cash charges of approximately$25 million , primarily composed of asset impairment and stock-based compensation charges in fiscal year 2023 in connection with the Restructuring Plan. We may not be able to realize the cost savings and benefits initially anticipated as a result of the Restructuring Plan, and the costs may be greater than expected. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-We may not successfully execute or achieve the expected benefits of our restructuring initiatives and other cost-saving measures we may take in the future, and our efforts may result in further actions and/or additional asset impairment charges and adversely affect our business" in our Form 10-K. Convertible Notes InFebruary 2021 , we issued$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") in a private offering, including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers of$125.0 million . The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between us andU.S. Bank National Association , as trustee. The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes does not accrete. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately$977.2 million , after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and our offering expenses. Capped Call Transactions In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the "Capped Call Transactions"). The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of approximately$239.23 per share, subject to adjustments, which corresponds to the approximate initial conversion price of the Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be approximately$362.48 per share. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, 6.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Class A Common Stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we would be required 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. If, however, the market price per share of Class A Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, there would be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that the then-market price per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. Class A Common Stock Offering OnNovember 16, 2021 , we entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") withGoldman Sachs & Co. LLC andJ.P. Morgan Securities LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the "Representatives") relating to the offer and sale by the Company (the "Offering") of 27,173,912 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Class A Common Stock, which includes 3,260,869 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. We sold the Shares to the underwriters at the public offering price of$46.00 per share less underwriting discounts. The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately$1.2 billion , after deducting the underwriters' discounts and commissions and our offering expenses. Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement In 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to entrance into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below), the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for a$500.0 million secured revolving credit facility, including up to the lesser of$250.0 million and the aggregate unused amount of the facility for the issuance of letters of credit.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also permitted the incurrence of indebtedness to permit the Capped Call Transactions and issuance of the Notes.
OnMay 25, 2022 , the Company entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") withJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A ., as administrative agent, and certain banks and financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing banks. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a$750.0 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan"), which will be due and payable onMay 25, 2027 or, if greater than$200.0 million of the Notes are outstanding onNovember 16, 2025 (the "Springing Maturity Condition"),November 16, 2025 (the "Springing Maturity Date"). The Term Loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 0.25%, payable at the end of each fiscal quarter and on the maturity date. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a$500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"),$35.0 million of which will mature onJune 20, 2024 (the "Non-Consenting Commitments"), with the rest ($465.0 million ) maturing onDecember 10, 2026 (the "Consenting Commitments") or if the Springing Maturity Condition is met and the Term Loan is outstanding on such date, the Springing Maturity Date. The key terms of the Revolving Facility remain substantially unchanged from those set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including requiring compliance with a total level of liquidity of not less than$250.0 million and maintaining a minimum total four-quarter revenue level of$3.0 billion (which are replaced with a covenant to maintain a minimum debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio upon our meeting a specified adjusted EBITDA threshold). The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 2.25% per annum or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 1.25% per annum for the Consenting Commitments, and bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 2.75% per annum or the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75% per annum for the Non-Consenting Commitments. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.325% per annum and 0.375% per annum on a quarterly basis based on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility for the Consenting Commitments and the Non-Consenting Commitments, respectively. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 5.50% per annum or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 6.50% per annum. As stipulated in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the applicable rates increased one time by 0.50% per annum as the Company chose not to obtain a public rating for the Term Loan fromS&P Global Ratings orMoody's Investors Services, Inc. on or prior toNovember 25, 2022 . Any borrowing at the Alternate Base Rate is subject to a 1.00% floor and a term loan borrowed at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is subject to a 0.50% floor and any revolving loan borrowed at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is subject to a 0.00% floor. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants as well as customary covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain assets, guarantee obligations of third parties, declare dividends or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. Certain baskets and covenant levels have been decreased and will apply equally to both the Term Loan and Revolving Facility for so long as the Term Loan is outstanding. After the repayment in full of the Term Loan, such baskets and levels will revert to those previously disclosed in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, with certain exceptions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and are required to be guaranteed by certain material subsidiaries of the Company if, at the end of future financial quarters, certain conditions are not met. 38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we were in compliance with the covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we had drawn the full amount of the Term Loan and we had not drawn on the Revolving Facility, and we therefore had$746.3 million total outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we had outstanding letters of credit totaling$85.4 million , of which$80.6 million is classified as Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon entering the Term Loan, the effective interest rate was 10.2% and onNovember 25, 2022 the rate was updated to 13.7%. Cash Flows Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 (in millions) Net cash used in operating activities$ (291.3) $ (1,007.6) Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities (49.5) 299.6 Net cash provided by financing activities 27.9 1,287.2 Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities of$291.3 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2022 was primarily due to a net loss of$743.9 million and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of$27.7 million , partially offset by an increase in non-cash adjustments of$425.0 million . The increase in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a$218.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of a decrease in accrued expense and payables due to supplier settlements and decreased inventory spending, partially offset by a$316.4 million decrease in inventory. Non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense, long-lived asset impairment expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash operating lease expense, and net foreign currency adjustments. Investing activities Net cash used in investing activities for the six months endedDecember 31, 2022 of$49.5 million was a result of capital expenditures primarily related to software development, and the continued build out of our warehouses and studios. Financing activities Net cash provided by financing activities of$27.9 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2022 was primarily related to exercises of stock options of$29.9 million , partially offset by a$3.8 million principal repayment to the Term Loan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The commitment amounts in the table above are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. We utilize contract manufacturers to build our products and accessories. These contract manufacturers acquire components and build products based on demand forecast information we supply, which typically covers a rolling 12-month period. Consistent with industry practice, we acquire inventories from such manufacturers through blanket purchase orders against which orders are applied based on projected demand information and availability of goods. Such purchase commitments typically cover our forecasted product and manufacturing requirements for periods that range a number of months. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to cancel, reschedule, and/or adjust our requirements based on our business needs for a period of time before the order is due to be fulfilled. While our purchase orders are legally cancellable in many situations, some purchase orders are not cancellable in the event of a demand plan change or other circumstances, such as where the supplier has procured unique, Peloton-specific designs, and/or specific non-cancellable, non-returnable components based on our provided forecasts. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , our commitments to contract with third-party manufacturers for their inventory on-hand and component purchase commitments related to the manufacture of our products were estimated to be approximately$274.1 million . See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Our operating results could be adversely affected if we are unable to accurately forecast consumer demand for our products and services and adequately manage our inventory" in our Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ from these estimates and could differ based upon other assumptions or conditions. The critical accounting policies that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements include those described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part I, Item 7 of our Form 10-K. Revenue Recognition As described in Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company announced voluntary recalls of the Company's Tread+ and Tread products, permitting customers to return the products for a refund. The amount of a refund customers are eligible to receive may differ based on the status of an approved remediation of the issue driving the recall, and the age of the Connected Fitness Unit being returned. We estimate a returns reserve primarily based on historical and expected product returns, product warranty, and service call trends. We also consider current trends in consumer behavior in order to identify correlations to current trends in returns. However, with current uncertainty in the global economy, negative press and general sentiment surrounding Peloton's post-pandemic business and financial performance, and the absence of a complete remediation plan with the CPSC for our Tread+ product, predicting expected product returns based on historical returns becomes less relevant, requiring reliance on highly subjective estimates based on our interpretation of how current conditions and factors will drive consumer behavior. OnOctober 18, 2022 , the CPSC and the Company jointly announced that consumers now have more time to get a full refund if they wish to return their Tread+. With the extension of the full refund period for one additional year, toNovember 6, 2023 , the Company expects that more Members will opt for a full refund, and accordingly has increased the Company's return reserve. As ofDecember 31, 2022 andJune 30, 2022 , our returns reserve related to the impacts of the recalls was$44.5 million and$40.8 million , respectively.
