Management Comments

“The second quarter of 2020 was one of the strongest quarters ever for our Company; highlighted by record sales, almost 1,200 basis point increase in gross margins, and a $78 million improvement in operating loss, resulting in adjusted EBITDA of $25 million," said Jim Barr, Nautilus Inc. Chief Executive Officer. “While we benefitted from the COVID-19 at-home fitness trend, our team’s agility and strong execution were essential to our outstanding results. The operational improvements we implemented in the back half of 2019 changed our trajectory in the first quarter of 2020 and were instrumental in record results in Q2. We dramatically improved the flow of inventory in our supply chain by increasing factory capacity for our leading products by as much as 500%. Our team worked quickly to find solutions to move product from our manufacturers to the ports and then secured the quickest vessels to get the product to our distribution centers. Even with our expanded production and improved supply chain, demand still outpaced supply and we are entering the third quarter with a $34 million backlog."

Mr. Barr continued, “Our strong second quarter performance was driven by sales growth across both segments for all consumer modalities and brands, slightly offset by declines in our commercial business due to gym closures related to COVID-19. To continue providing new and existing customers with products that lead to a healthier lifestyle, we will be introducing several new strength and cardio product offerings in the fall, including an expansion of our JRNY® personalized connected fitness digital platform with the rollout of next generation JRNY® that will include an updated user interface, new content, integration of Explore The World™ and Apple Health.”

Mr. Barr, concluded, “We are still in the early stages of our long-term transformation, but we have made good progress in the past 6 months in enhancing our digital capabilities, in our products, our marketing, and our business operations. We remain confident that the company’s resolve, resilience, and agility are qualities that, when coupled with well-known brands, a strong product portfolio, and a strengthening digital strategy should allow us to successfully return Nautilus Inc. to long-term profitable growth.”
