−Removed: and do not include the operating results of fuboTV, Inc.
−Removed: Company is a leading digital entertainment company, combining fuboTV’s direct-to-consumer live TV streaming platform with
−Removed: FaceBank’s technology-driven IP in sports, movies and live performances.
−Removed: This business combination, operating as fuboTV,
−Removed: Inc., will create a content delivery platform for traditional and future-form IP.
−Removed: fuboTV plans to leverage FaceBank’s IP
−Removed: sharing relationships with leading celebrities and other digital technologies to enhance its already robust sports and entertainment
−Removed: the Merger, while we continue our previous business operations, we are principally focused on offering consumers a leading live
−Removed: TV streaming platform for sports, news and entertainment through fuboTV.
−Removed: fuboTV revenues are almost entirely derived from the
−Removed: sale of subscription services and advertising in the United States, though fuboTV has started to assess expansion opportunities
−Removed: into international markets, with operations in Canada and the launch in late 2018 of its first ex-North America offering of streaming
−Removed: entertainment, to consumers in Spain.
−Removed: subscription-based services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts at https://fubo.tv , through which we
−Removed: provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the add-ons and features best suited for them.
−Removed: website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices.
−Removed: The fuboTV platform provides, what we believe to be, a superior
−Removed: viewer experience, with a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities,
−Removed: favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.
−Removed: the broad global adoption of internet connectivity, streaming platforms have seen rapid adoption as consumers engage with TV and
−Removed: audio through a variety of devices, including TV, mobile phones and tablets.
−Removed: The penetration of multiple devices and streaming
−Removed: has brought the convenience of watching whatever, whenever and wherever to consumers.
−Removed: According to Comscore over-the-top media
−Removed: services (“OTT”) Intelligence data, as of March 2019, half of all US households have OTT streaming.
−Removed: Streaming continues
−Removed: to increase its share of TV viewing hours, now accounting for 15% of total TV viewing hours based on 3 month average in March
−Removed: 2019, but is still in the early innings of adoption.
−Removed: The majority, 65% of OTT viewing households, still have subscriptions to
−Removed: traditional PayTV, according to Comscore OTT Intelligence.
−Removed: While traditional live TV accounts for the majority of TV viewing hours
−Removed: for US households, the proportion is declining as customers continue cutting the cord.
−Removed: Consumers are increasingly favoring the
−Removed: streaming experience and lower cost of streaming services.
−Removed: As stated in a February 2019 eMarketer report, cord-cutters and cord-nevers
−Removed: are expected to reach 49 million US households in 2020.
−Removed: Historically,
−Removed: sports and news have been a key growth driver for PayTV operators to attract audiences at scale.
−Removed: Amongst streaming providers,
−Removed: live sports and news represent a largely untapped opportunity, as virtual multichannel video programming distributors, or vMVPDs,
−Removed: have been focused largely on entertainment offerings.
−Removed: Avid sports fans have been forced to stay tethered to the PayTV ecosystem.
−Removed: According to a December 2019 Moffett Nathansan report, 60% of US households consume sports on a regular basis and 90% of sports
−Removed: consuming households continue to subscribe to PayTV, creating a significant opportunity to provide live sports over streaming.
−Removed: has been slow to adapt to changing customer needs.
−Removed: In its Telecommunications Report, the American Customer Satisfaction Index
−Removed: (ACSI) found that streaming-video services averaged a score of 76 out of 100 while traditional PayTV remained substantially lower
−Removed: at 62 out of 100 (last places amongst the 46 industries tracked by ASCI) in 2019.
−Removed: Further, according to Leichtman Research Group
−Removed: as of November 2019, the average US cable package costs $110 per month, significantly higher than virtually all OTT options.
−Removed: providers have struggled to retain consumers, as US PayTV households decreased by 5.9 million in 2019, according to eMarketer.
−Removed: Virtual MVPDs (vMVPDs), services that provide multiple television channels via broadband, are quickly taking a share of the market
−Removed: by delivering greater value at a lower price.
−Removed: vMVPDs offer consumers a larger range of content that can be viewed anywhere, on
−Removed: any device, online or off, and with new features continuously being innovated.
−Removed: With superior direct-to-consumer (DTC) relationships
−Removed: and easier, more convenient functionality, we believe it will be a matter of time before streaming is the preferred medium across
−Removed: all platforms for TV consumption.
−Removed: also expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have lasting effects on consumer behavior.
−Removed: With the increasing likelihood of sports
−Removed: resuming with empty stadiums and otherwise generally limited in-person viewership, we believe fans will turn to digital streaming
−Removed: vMVPDs are also a more affordable alternative to PayTV, which, we believe, in this current economic climate, further
−Removed: accelerates adoption.
−Removed: Market Opportunity
−Removed: rapid shift to TV streaming has disrupted the traditional cable TV distribution model, creating new options for consumers and
−Removed: new opportunities for broadcasters and advertisers.
−Removed: Cord-cutting and cord-never households continue to accelerate adoption in
−Removed: the US, as PayTV subscribers increasingly favor the streaming experience.
−Removed: We believe this creates significant opportunities for
−Removed: vMVPDs to address the $199 billion global PayTV services market in 2018, according to a September 2019 Digital TV Research report.
−Removed: Linear TV advertising spending in the U.S.
−Removed: was $71 billion in 2019, according to a March 2020 eMarketer report, and is expected
−Removed: to be $175 billion globally in 2020, according to a June 2019 MAGNA report.
−Removed: As consumers continue to spend more time streaming
−Removed: content, we believe advertisers will allocate dollars away from traditional TV advertising to advertising on streaming services.
−Removed: According to a MAGNA April 2019 report, OTT advertising spending is expected to reach $5 billion in 2020.
−Removed: Today, streaming accounts
−Removed: for 15% of total TV hours viewed, but only attracts 5% of ad spending.
−Removed: If OTT advertising spending rises to levels commensurate
−Removed: with current share of viewing hours, this represents over $10 billion of additional opportunity.
−Removed: platforms have a significant opportunity to enable digital subscriptions, eCommerce transactions and other consumer services.
−Removed: We believe our sports-first product offering is well suited to facilitate sports wagering in the future as a natural extension
−Removed: of engaging sports content.
−Removed: Sports wagering is a rapidly growing and large opportunity.
−Removed: According to H2 Gambling Capital, the
−Removed: global online sports wagering market was estimated to be approximately $70 billion in 2019.
−Removed: offer consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news and entertainment.

+Added: (“fuboTV Sub”) and its subsidiaries prior to the Merger.
+Added: are a sports-first, live TV streaming company, offering subscribers access to tens of thousands of live sporting events annually
+Added: as well as leading news and entertainment content.
+Added: Our platform, fuboTV, allows customers to access content through streaming
+Added: devices and on SmartTVs, mobile phones, tablets, and computers.
+Added: TV streaming has disrupted the traditional pay TV model (linear video received through cable or satellite providers for a paid
+Added: subscription), which we refer to as “Pay TV”.
+Added: This disruption has shifted billions of dollars in subscription and
+Added: advertising revenue to streaming platforms.
+Added: The number of cable TV cord-cutting households (those that terminate their cable or
+Added: satellite subscription) and cable TV cord-never households (those that have never subscribed to traditional cable or satellite)
+Added: continues to accelerate in the United States, as cable and satellite subscribers increasingly favor the streaming experience.
+Added: As consumers continue to spend more time streaming content, we also believe that advertisers will allocate more dollars away from
+Added: traditional linear TV advertising spend and towards streaming services.
+Added: Yet, despite being a growing share of TV consumption,
+Added: streaming is still in the early stages of adoption.
+Added: We believe this creates a significant opportunity for us to capitalize on
+Added: the cord-cutting movement.
+Added: offer subscribers a live TV streaming service with the option to purchase incremental features available for purchase that include
+Added: additional content or enhanced functionality (“Attachments”) best suited to their preferences.
+Added: Our base plan includes
+Added: a broad mix of channels, including top 50 Nielsen-ranked networks, across sports, news, and entertainment.
+Added: In the summer of 2020,
+Added: we enhanced our sports-centric offering with the addition of ESPN and ABC as well as other top programming from Disney.
+Added: core of our offering are our proprietary technology platform, purpose-built for live TV and sports viewership, and our first-party
+Added: Our proprietary technology stack has enabled us to regularly offer new features and functionality.
+Added: Unlike other popular
+Added: Video-on-Demand-only (VOD) streaming services, live TV streaming requires sophisticated infrastructure and technology, given the
+Added: nuances associated with an offering of live programming that refreshes regularly.
+Added: Today, our proprietary video delivery platform
+Added: supports all major sports leagues and entertainment content owner delivery requirements.
+Added: We offer multi-view on Apple TV, which
+Added: enables subscribers to watch four live streams simultaneously.
+Added: Our technology enables us to meet blackout and geographical rights
+Added: requirements with zip-code-level fidelity and deliver conforming streams on a per-user, per-device basis, protected by industry-standard
+Added: Digital Rights Management (“DRM”) technology.
+Added: We leverage our data throughout our organization to make data driven
+Added: decisions on what content we acquire for our subscribers to influence product design and strategy, to drive subscriber engagement,
+Added: and to enhance the capabilities and performance of our advertising platform for our advertising partners.
+Added: a result of our direct-to-consumer model, we gain further insight into customer behavior from the billions of data points captured
+Added: by our platform each month.
+Added: This data drives our continued innovation and is at the core of our enhanced user experience, product
+Added: and content strategy, and advertising differentiation.
+Added: The data also enables us to provide users with real-time personalized discovery
+Added: of live and on-demand programming and to surface relevant content for our users.
+Added: growth strategy is to acquire subscribers who are attracted to our sports offering and can find with us a compelling sport, news, and
+Added: entertainment viewing alternative to a traditional Pay TV service.
+Added: We actively engage those subscribers by providing a seamless Pay TV
+Added: replacement through a personalized easy-to-use streaming product at a significantly lower cost than traditional Pay TV providers.
+Added: then monetize our audience through subscription fees and our digital advertising offering.
+Added: In 2020, the majority of our revenue was
+Added: generated from monthly subscriptions.
+Added: are investing to accelerate expansion into the sports wagering space, which we believe will be a complementary revenue stream to our
+Added: current business model.
+Added: We recently announced our intent to expand into wagering and our subsequent acquisition of Camo Holdings
+Added: d/b/a Balto (“Balto”) and acquisition of Vigtory, Inc.
+Added: (“Vigtory”).
+Added: We plan to leverage Balto’s contest
+Added: automation software to launch a free to play game offering.
+Added: With the Vigtory acquisition, we expect to add Vigtory’s sportsbook
+Added: technology and pipeline of market access agreements to our business.
+Added: Our intended online wagering strategy includes the planned roll-out
+Added: of free to play gaming in the third quarter of 2021, the launch of a sportsbook application by the end of 2021 and ultimately the integration
+Added: of wagering with our live TV streaming platform.
+Added: By expanding into free to play gaming, we believe we can build further scale and drive
+Added: additional subscribers.
+Added: services have experienced rapid growth in adoption as consumers engage with streaming video and audio through a variety of devices,
+Added: including connected TVs, mobile phones, and tablets.
+Added: Traditional live TV accounts for the majority of TV viewing hours for U.S.
+Added: households, however, the proportion is declining as customers continue cutting the cord.
+Added: We believe consumers are increasingly
+Added: favoring the superior customer experience, lower cost, and better value of streaming services.
+Added: and news content have been a key driver for pay TV operators to retain and grow audiences.
+Added: Most streaming subscription services
+Added: have primarily focused on entertainment content offerings, requiring sports fans to, until recently, remain tethered to the pay
+Added: TV ecosystem.
+Added: This positions our offering well to provide a pay TV replacement service via streaming that also features an enhanced
+Added: live sports and news viewing experience.
+Added: Business Model
+Added: business model is “come for the sports, stay for the entertainment.”
+Added: This consists of leveraging sporting events to
+Added: acquire subscribers at lower acquisition costs, given the built-in demand for sports.
+Added: We then leverage our technology and data
+Added: to drive higher engagement and induce retentive behaviors such as favoriting channels, recording shows, and increasing discovery
+Added: through our proprietary machine learning recommendations engine.
+Added: Next, we look to monetize our growing base of highly engaged
+Added: subscribers by driving higher average revenue per user (“ARPU”).
+Added: believe our expected expansion into wagering and interactivity is core to this model.
+Added: We believe free-to-play predictive games
+Added: enhance the sports streaming experience - while also providing a bridge between video and our contemplated sportsbook.
+Added: the integration of gaming with our expansive live sports coverage will create a flywheel that lifts engagement and retention,
+Added: expands advertising revenue through increased viewership, and creates additional opportunities for Attachment sales.
+Added: drive our business model with three core strategies:
+Added: our paid subscriber base
+Added: engagement and retention
+Added: offerings address the needs of the parties in the TV streaming ecosystem.
+Added: offer consumers a live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment.

−Removed: While our sports offerings are key to customer acquisition, our broader entertainment and live news continue to drive

−Removed: fuboTV has a robust news lineup with more news channels in its base plan than any other
−Removed: live TV streaming platform and also offers over 700 local TV channels covering 99% of US households.
−Removed: Additionally, fuboTV’s
−Removed: entertainment offering includes more than 30,000 TV shows and movies via VOD each month.
−Removed: TV streaming market continues to grow and evolve as more viewers shift from traditional PayTV to streaming.
+Added: for consumers to purchase the Attachments best suited for them.
+Added: Our base plan, fubo Standard, includes approximately 100+ channels,
+Added: including many of the top Nielsen-rated networks, dozens of channels with sports, double digit news channels, and some popular
+Added: entertainment channels.
+Added: Subscribers have the option to add premium channels and additional channel packages, as well as upgrade
+Added: Attachments such as more DVR storage with Cloud DVR Plus and additional simultaneous streams with Family Share.
+Added: cord cutting continues and traditional Pay TV viewers decline, advertisers are increasingly allocating their ad budgets to Over-the-Top
+Added: (“OTT”) platforms to reach these audiences.
+Added: fuboTV’s sports-first live TV platform offers advertisers a growing
+Added: and increasingly valuable live audience and provides un-skippable ad inventory on high quality content.
+Added: Advertisers also benefit
+Added: from combining traditional TV advertising formats with the advantages of digital advertising including measurability, relevancy,
+Added: and interactivity.
+Added: TV streaming platform creates the opportunity for content providers to monetize and distribute their content to our highly engaged
+Added: In doing so, content providers are expanding their audiences, which have shrunk on traditional TV because of ongoing
+Added: cord-cutting.
+Added: By aggregating a broad variety of content to deliver a comprehensive offering on our platform, we believe fuboTV
+Added: is able to provide greater engagement and value to subscribers than content providers would otherwise be able to deliver independently.
+Added: Furthermore, our data-driven platform enables us to capture valuable insights on consumer behavior and preferences, which are
+Added: increasingly valuable to our content providers.
+Added: generate significantly higher levels of revenue and subscriber additions in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
+Added: This seasonality
+Added: is driven primarily by sports leagues, specifically the NFL, which has a shorter partial-year season.
+Added: In addition, we typically
+Added: see average subscribers on our platform decline from the fourth quarter of the previous year through the first and second quarter
+Added: of the following year.
+Added: Growth Strategy
+Added: believe that we are at the early stages of our growth and that we are at an inflection point in the TV industry where streaming
+Added: has begun to surpass traditional linear Pay TV in several key areas, including content choice, ease of access and use across devices,
+Added: and cost savings to consumers.
+Added: We have identified potential growth opportunities, both in current markets and adjacent markets,
+Added: that we believe may provide additional upside to our business model.
+Added: The key elements to our growth strategy include:
+Added: to grow our subscriber base :
+Added: At the end of 2020, fuboTV had 547,880 paid subscriber, up from approximately 316,000
+Added: at the end of 2019.
+Added: Our Sales and Marketing expenses relative to total revenues was approximately 25% in 2020 and we believe
+Added: there is significant opportunity to accelerate subscriber acquisition by increasing our marketing expenditures on an absolute
+Added: dollar basis.
+Added: We will continue to utilize and analyze the data we have collected to help us become more efficient with our
+Added: marketing campaigns relative to spend.
+Added: and Retain Existing Subscribers :
+Added: By improving our Attachment offerings, we have been able to steadily increase the
+Added: quantity of Attachments sold within our subscriber base while continuing to improve our overall retention rates.
+Added: By piggybacking
+Added: on to our existing offerings and not meaningfully increasing our cost basis while increasing revenues, Attachments increase
+Added: Through each Attachment, we provide incremental value to our paying subscribers and are able to capitalize on
+Added: the incremental dollars earned through our ability to upsell.
+Added: We have consistently upgraded our Attachment offerings, as well
+Added: as optimized our merchandising and bundling of these offerings, and as a result have more than doubled the attach rate of
+Added: our subscribers.
+Added: Advertising Inventory:
+Added: Improvements to our content offering, UI / navigational elements and content merchandising
+Added: / targeting capabilities, combined with evolutions in customer behavior and growth in our subscriber base, have driven growth
+Added: of our viewership over time.
+Added: We are increasingly monetizing this engagement through advertising on the fuboTV platform.
+Added: intend to continue leveraging our data and analytics to deliver relevant advertising while improving the ability of our advertisers
+Added: to optimize and measure the results of their campaigns.
+Added: We also plan to continue to expand our direct sales teams to increase
+Added: the number of advertisers who leverage our platform and continue improving our fill-rates and Cost Per Thousands (“CPMs”).
+Added: Our Content Portfolio :
+Added: Because we have the direct-to-consumer relationship and have
+Added: the ability to analyze all the content that our subscribers consume, we believe we can continue
+Added: to drive better subscriber experiences.
+Added: We plan to continue to optimize our content mix to
+Added: best suit our subscribers’
+Added: interests by leveraging our deep understanding of our subscribers
+Added: through the data captured on the platform.
+Added: Continue to invest in our technology and
+Added: data capabilities:
+Added: We believe that our technology platform, coupled with our content offering, differentiates us,
+Added: and we will continue to invest in both to drive the subscriber experience.
+Added: We plan to continue to enhance our product for
+Added: sports viewers by increasing the number of 4K streams and enhancing the image quality of fast-paced games.
+Added: We have also rolled
+Added: out personalization capabilities for our subscribers, including Favorites List and User Profiles, which allow us to enhance
+Added: our recommendation technology, thereby potentially increasing subscriber engagement and satisfaction.
+Added: Adjacent Markets, Including Wagering:
+Added: fuboTV, through our collaborations with premier programmers, content providers
+Added: and advertisers, is very closely aligned with several adjacent markets.
+Added: For example, our current sports-first platform lends itself
+Added: to entering into the sports wagering market.
+Added: This is a market that fuboTV is well-positioned to enter given our unique live sport
+Added: streaming offering, our deep knowledge of sports marketing and underlying technology platform.
+Added: Internationally:
+Added: With more than 3.5 billion soccer fans worldwide, in addition to all other sports fans and TV viewers,
+Added: we believe there remains a significant opportunity to expand internationally.
+Added: intellectual property is an essential element of our business.

+Added: intellectual property laws, confidentiality agreements and license agreements to protect our intellectual property rights.

+Added: to sign agreements acknowledging that all inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated

−Removed: fuboTV’s base package is significantly cheaper than traditional
−Removed: PayTV options and includes 100+ channels across a variety of sports, news and entertainment content.
−Removed: In order to provide flexibility
−Removed: in pricing and the best value for our subscribers, our add-on options are an incremental cost to the base plan and enable users
−Removed: to purchase both enhanced content (e.g.
−Removed: Sports Plus, which features NFL RedZone;
−Removed: SHOWTIME) and feature attachments (e.g.
−Removed: Cloud DVR, Family Share plan).
−Removed: fuboTV is also the only vMVPD to stream in 4K.
−Removed: Our value to subscribers continues to be exhibited
−Removed: as we continue to drive more subscribers to the platform and have experienced increased retention levels as our platform matures.
−Removed: Growth Strategy
−Removed: believe that we are at the very early stages of our growth and that we are at an inflection point in the TV industry where streaming
−Removed: has begun to surpass traditional linear TV in several key areas, including content variety, flexible access and cost savings to
−Removed: We have identified potential growth opportunities, both in current markets and adjacent markets, that provide additional
−Removed: upside to our business model.
−Removed: The key elements to our growth strategy are:
−Removed: Subscriber Acquisition
−Removed: and Retain Existing Subscribers
−Removed: Advertising Inventory
−Removed: to Enhance Our Content Portfolio and Technology
−Removed: Internationally
−Removed: into Adjacent Markets
−Removed: Business Model
−Removed: drive our business model with three core activities:
−Removed: our paid subscriber base
−Removed: engagement and retention
−Removed: Our Paid Subscriber Base
−Removed: are still in the early stages of growth.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, we had 315,789 paid subscribers, a small fraction of the $199
−Removed: billion global PayTV market.
−Removed: We plan to continue to attract more users with a highly compelling OTT streaming value proposition
−Removed: that allows users to access the most comprehensive live sports offering, as well as the most relevant channels for news and entertainment,
−Removed: at a significantly lower price relative to traditional PayTV.
−Removed: We believe our success in growing our subscriber base is due to
−Removed: our data-driven digital marketing efforts and our broadening customer demographics.
−Removed: We believe international expansion represents
−Removed: a large opportunity to grow our subscriber base.
−Removed: We plan to invest in our international strategy over time and become a global
−Removed: business in the long term.
−Removed: have both Free Trial Users, who have created an account and are within the 7-day free trial period, and Paid Subscribers (“subscribers”),
−Removed: who have a paid subscription and from whom we have collected payment for the current cycle.
−Removed: have grown our Paid subscriber base significantly over the past several years and ended 2019 with 315,789 paid subscribers, up
−Removed: 37% year over year.
−Removed: Engagement & Retention
−Removed: intend to increase user engagement and hours streamed by offering more content that is easier to find and discover on our platform,
−Removed: including more News and Entertainment.
−Removed: By increasing the available content on our platform and making it easily accessible, we
−Removed: have diversified the type of content streamed, resulting in higher customer engagement and retention.
−Removed: active users (MAUs) refers to the total count of subscribers that have consumed content for greater than 10 seconds in the last
−Removed: 30 days from the period-end indicated.
−Removed: In December 2019, our monthly active users (MAUs) watched 123 hours across the platform
−Removed: on average, and those who streamed primarily on connected TVs watched an average of 144 hours.
−Removed: Content hours per MAU is a key
−Removed: metric and our users (paid and trial/free) streamed 298.7 million hours in 2019, a 210% increase year over year.
−Removed: have identified the following three key drivers that we believe have helped us increase our subscriber engagement:
−Removed: subscribers are watching more than just sports.
−Removed: While many subscribers initially come to us for sports, we compel them to
−Removed: stay for other content as well, with more than 70% of viewership hours in December 2019 spent on non-sports content.
−Removed: subscribers are coming back for shows that they may have missed.
−Removed: The percentage of subscribers that are using and watching
−Removed: DVR has increased from 20% in October 2018 to 41% in February 2020.
−Removed: subscribers are watching a broader range of content and recording shows to be watched later, both programs per MAU and channels
−Removed: watched per MAU have increased significantly.
−Removed: The average MAU now consumed 140+ programs on 16 different channels in February
−Removed: 2020, up from only 59 programs on 10 channels in October 2018.
−Removed: is the leading indicator of retention for our subscribers.
−Removed: We have continued to increase subscriber engagement, which has resulted
−Removed: in an increased average number of content hours per MAU, representing an increase from 34 hours in the first quarter of 2018 to
−Removed: 123 hours in the fourth quarter of 2019.
−Removed: we believe that the consistent improvements we have driven in engagement have led to an increased retention rate amongst our subscribers.
−Removed: expect to continue to grow Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”), which is our subscription revenue and ad revenue divided
−Removed: by average daily paid subscribers in the relevant period, by growing hours streamed and enhancing our advertising monetization
−Removed: capabilities.
−Removed: Advertising-based content is our fastest growing segment, and we are increasing the monetization of these hours
−Removed: by expanding our advertising capabilities.
−Removed: We intend to continue to leverage our data and analytics to deliver relevant advertising
−Removed: and improve the ability of our advertisers to optimize their campaigns and measure their results.
−Removed: increased 42% YoY to $53.80 in 2019.
−Removed: Our 2 main sources of revenue are Subscription revenue and Advertising revenue, both of which
−Removed: have seen continuous growth since 2017.
−Removed: Our subscription ARPU increased to $49.37 while advertising ARPU grew to $4.43.
−Removed: believe that additional attachments to the basic package such as premium content packages as well as services which include Cloud
−Removed: DVR will be a key driver of increasing ARPU for our existing and future subscriber base, and we have already seen the number of
−Removed: attachments grow significantly.
−Removed: Factors Affecting Performance
−Removed: Our content depends on the operations of sports leagues both domestically and abroad.
−Removed: While our platform
−Removed: provides a broad suite of offerings across sports, news and entertainment, sports is a key acquisition lever and appeal of
−Removed: our offering, and the operations of sports leagues is important to our user base.
−Removed: The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the hiatus
−Removed: of live sports globally has impacted our business as sports viewership has declined.
−Removed: The return of leagues both with and without
−Removed: live audiences will greatly impact our platform and ability to serve our subscriber base.
−Removed: of Cord Cutting & Shift To OTT Streaming :
−Removed: Consumers have significantly shifted their TV viewing behavior,
−Removed: and we believe there will be an ongoing shift to OTT streaming.
−Removed: This is a critical component of our business model as all
−Removed: of our revenues, both subscription and advertising, are dependent on this shift.
−Removed: In addition, the number of hours streamed
−Removed: on our platform is a critical element of our business because hours determine our retention, attachment rates and our advertising
−Removed: We generate significantly higher levels of revenue and subscriber additions in the third and fourth quarters of the
−Removed: This seasonality is driven primarily by sports seasons, specifically the NFL, which have shorter partial-year seasons.
−Removed: For example, in 2018 and 2019, our third and fourth quarters combined each represented 61% and 57% of our total revenue and
−Removed: 60% and 65% of our total gross paid subscriber additions, respectively.
−Removed: We also incur higher sales and marketing expenses
−Removed: during these periods, which we expect to continue.
−Removed: to Grow Internationally:
−Removed: Entering new geographic markets requires us to invest in sales and marketing, infrastructure,
−Removed: and personnel.
−Removed: Our international growth will depend on our ability to sell relevant content and attractive offerings in international
−Removed: Our international expansion has resulted in, and will continue to result in, increased costs and is subject to a
−Removed: variety of risks, including local competition, content localization, multilingual customer support and compliance with foreign
+Added: we compete to attract and retain broadcasters.
+Added: Our ability to license content from broadcasters is dependent on the scale of our
+Added: user base as well as license terms.
+Added: of December 31, 2020, we had 220 employees, all of whom were located in North America.
+Added: We consider our relationship
+Added: with our employees to be good.
+Added: None of our domestic employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective
+Added: bargaining agreement.
+Added: widespread global impact from the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continued throughout 2020.
+Added: We took precautionary
+Added: measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and slow down the spread of the virus by transitioning our workforce
+Added: to remote working as we closed our offices.
+Added: global spread of COVID-19 and the various attempts to contain it created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption
+Added: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations began towards the end of the first quarter of 2020, impacting advertising
+Added: markets and the availability of live sport events, as numerous professional and college sports leagues cancelled or altered seasons
+Added: 2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continued to accelerate the shift of TV viewing away from traditional pay TV to streaming
+Added: TV and the on-going shift of advertising budgets away from traditional linear TV into streaming offering.
+Added: While in 2020 we have
+Added: experienced an increase in TV streaming and our overall business was largely unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be
+Added: no assurance that these positive trends will continue during 2021 and beyond.
+Added: April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged
+Added: with and into fuboTV Sub, whereby fuboTV Sub continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant
