Key Metrics

Paid Subscribers

We believe the number of paid subscribers is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. Paid subscribers is defined as total subscribers that have completed registration with FuboTV, have activated a payment method (only reflects one paying user per plan), from which FuboTV has collected payment from in the month ending the relevant period. Users who are on a free (trial) period are not included in this metric.

​​Adjusted Contribution Margin

We believe Adjusted Contribution Margin (ACM) is a relevant metric to gauge our per-subscriber profitability. ACM is a non-GAAP measure that measures costs against subscriber revenue. ACM is calculated by subtracting ACPU from ARPU.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net Loss, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax benefit, impairment of intangibles, other expenses, and one-time non-cash expenses.
