You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated
financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including
information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk
Factors” for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and
analysis. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future .
Overview
Our
business model is “come for the sports, stay for the entertainment.”
First,
we leverage sporting events to acquire subscribers at lower acquisition costs, given the built-in demand for sports. We then leverage
our technology and data to drive higher engagement and induce retentive behaviors such as favoriting channels, recording shows,
and increasing discovery through our proprietary machine learning recommendations engine. Next, we look to monetize our growing
base of highly engaged subscribers by driving higher average revenue per user (“ARPU”).
We
believe our expected expansion into wagering and interactivity is core to this model. We believe free-to-play predictive games
enhance the sports streaming experience - while also providing a bridge between video and our contemplated sportsbook. We expect
the integration of gaming with our expansive live sports coverage will create a flywheel that lifts engagement and retention,
expands advertising revenue through increased viewership, and creates additional opportunities for Attachment sales.
We
drive our business model with three core strategies:
●
Grow
our paid subscriber base
●
Optimize
engagement and retention
●
Increase
monetization
COVID-19
Update
The
widespread global impact from the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continued throughout 2020. We took precautionary
measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and slow down the spread of the virus by transitioning our workforce
to remote working as we closed our offices.
The
global spread of COVID-19 and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic
disruption in 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations began towards the end of the first quarter of 2020,
impacting advertising markets and the availability of live sport events, as numerous professional and college sports leagues cancelled
or altered seasons and events.
During
2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continued to accelerate the shift of TV viewing away from traditional pay TV to streaming
TV and the on-going shift of advertising budgets away from traditional linear TV into streaming offering. While in 2020 we have
experienced an increase in TV streaming and our overall business was largely unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic there can be
no assurance that these positive trends will continue during 2021 and beyond.

Merger
with fuboTV and Basis of Presentation
On
April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged
with and into fuboTV Sub, whereby fuboTV Sub continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and
fuboTV Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). Following the Merger, we changed our name from “FaceBank Group, Inc.”
to “fuboTV Inc.,” and we changed the name of fuboTV Sub to “fuboTV Media, Inc.” The combined company operates
under the name “fuboTV,” and our trading symbol is “FUBO.”
In
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all of the capital stock of fuboTV Sub
was converted into the right to receive shares of our newly created class of Series AA convertible preferred stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock was entitled to 0.8 votes
per share and was convertible into two (2) shares of our common stock following the sale of such share of Series AA Preferred
Stock on an arms’-length basis either pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act. On March 1, 2021, we consummated an offer to exchange the remaining outstanding shares of
Series AA Preferred Stock for two shares of our common stock per share of Series AA Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Offer”).
As a result of the Exchange Offer, 13,412,246 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock, representing 100% of the outstanding shares
of Series AA Preferred Stock, were exchanged for 26,824,492 shares of our common stock.
Unless
otherwise stated, 2020 financial statements and metrics include FaceBank Pre-Merger from January 1 through March 31 and the combined
company post-Merger from April 1 through December 31, and 2019 financial statements and metrics include fuboTV pre-merger. These
financial statements are reported on a GAAP basis. The Company does not intend to report pro forma results to compare fuboTV Pre-Merger’s
2019 and first quarter 2020 performance against the combined company post-Merger’s 2020 performance.
A
discussion and analysis covering the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2018 as well
as the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, for fuboTV Sub premerger, are included
in our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2020.
Restatement
of Financial Statements
In
connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarter
ended March 31, 2020, the Company identified an error in the accounting for goodwill relating to the Company’s
acquisitions of Nexway AG and Facebank AG. In connection with these acquisitions, goodwill was impaired. Upon further
evaluation, the Company determined that goodwill amounting to $79.7 million should not have been impaired. Accordingly, the Company
should have allocated $51.2 million towards the loss on deconsolidation of Nexway AG during the three months ended March 31, 2020,
which would have resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of Nexway AG of $11.9 million. The financial statement misstatements did
not impact cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash
flows for any period previously presented.
As
a result, we were required to restate certain financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Between
May 11, 2020 and June 8, 2020, we entered into securities purchase agreements pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 3,735,922
shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.00 per share and issued warrants to several investors covering a total of
3,735,922 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.2 million. We determined that the fair value of the
warrants totaled $26.8 million. We originally recorded a loss on issuance of common stock and warrants totaling $26.8 million,
resulting in an overstatement of the loss by $26.2 million (the “Error”). We should have allocated the purchase price
of $26.2 million to a warrant liability with the residual amount of $0.6 million to the loss on issuance of common stock and warrants.
●
On
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, there was no net effect of the Error to total assets, total
liabilities, and total stockholders’ equity. The only line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheet that the
Error affected were additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit, both of which were overstated by $26.2 million.
●
On
the statement of condensed consolidated operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Error caused
a $26.2 million overstatement of loss on issuance of common stock, notes, bonds and warrants.
●
On
the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was no net effect of the
Error on cash used in operating activities, cash used in investing activities and cash provided by financing activities.
As
a result, we were required to restate certain financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 2020.

On
August 15, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Facebank AG. On September 16, 2019, the Company acquired approximately
51% of the stock of Nexway. On April 1, 2020, the Company merged with fuboTV Pre-Merger. The results of our operations for the
year ended December 31, 2020 include the results of operations of Facebank AG and Nexway and also include the effects of the deconsolidation
of Nexway as of March 31, 2020 and the sale of Facebank AG in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The results of our operations
for the year ended December 31, 2020 also include the results of operations of fuboTV post-Merger from April 1, 2020. Because
of this, the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are not comparable.
Revenue,
net
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized revenues of $217.7 million, primarily related to $184.3 million of subscription
revenue, $24.9 million of advertising revenue and $1.2 million in other revenue in connection with the second quarter acquisition
of fuboTV Pre-Merger. These revenues were generated entirely by the fuboTV business, which we acquired through the Merger that
closed on April 1, 2020, and there are no comparable results in the prior year. In addition, we generated $7.3 million related
to the sale of software licenses from our acquisition Nexway.
43
Subscriber
related expenses
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized subscriber related expenses of $204.2 million due to affiliate distribution rights
and other distribution costs in connection with the streaming revenue generated from the fuboTV business. There are no comparable
results in the prior year.
Broadcasting
and transmission
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized broadcasting and transmission expenses of $29.5 million primarily related to transmissions
of our services in connection with the streaming revenue generated from the fuboTV business. There are no comparable results in
the prior year.
Sales
and marketing
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized sales and marketing expenses of $63.1 million as compared to $0.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily related to marketing expenses incurred
to acquire new customers to the fuboTV streaming platform after the Merger on April 1, 2020. There are no comparable results in
the prior year.
Technology
and development
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized technology and development expenses of $30.2 million in connection with the development
of our streaming platform after the Merger on April 1, 2020. There were no technology and development expenses recognized during
the year ended December 31, 2019.
General
and Administrative
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, general and administrative expenses totaled $77.6 million, compared to $13.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $64.3 million was primarily related to $43.9 million of stock-based compensation,
$16.7 million of incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of fuboTV Pre-Merger, $7.5 million
in professional fees and $1.2 million in insurance partially offset by a reduction of $5.1 million of expenses related to Facebank
AG and Nexway, which was sold during 2020.
Depreciation
and amortization
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized depreciation and amortization expenses of $44.0 million compared to $20.8 million
during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $23.2 million is primarily related to $27.2 million of amortization expense
recorded for the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Merger on April 1, 2020 offset by a reduction of amortization
expense of $4.5 million resulting from the impairment of legacy Facebank intangible assets recorded during 2020.
Impairment
of intangible assets and goodwill
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an impairment of Facebank Pre-Merger intangible assets and goodwill of $248.9 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized an impairment of intangible assets of Nexway of $8.6 million.
Other
Income (Expense)
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $129.2 million of other expense (net), compared to $4.5 million during the year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $124.6 million was primarily related to an increase of $83.3 million change in fair value
of warrant liabilities, $16.6 million of interest expense on our outstanding borrowings, $24.5 million loss on extinguishment
of debt, $11.9 million loss on the deconsolidation of Nexway, $4.5 million change in fair value of subsidiary warrants, $1.7 million
change in fair value of change in shares settled liability, $1.2 million change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and $1.0
million increase in foreign currency exchange loss. These expenses were partially offset by a $8.3 million loss on investment
recorded during 2019, $7.6 million gain on the sale of the Facebank AG and Nexway assets, $2.2 million change in fair value of
profit share liability and $2.6 million unrealized gain on our equity method investment in Nexway.
Income
tax benefit
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an income tax benefit of $9.7 million compared to $5.3 million during the year ended
December 31, 2019. The increase is due to an increase in deferred tax assets primarily resulting from the merger.

Key
Metrics & Non-GAAP Measures
Note
that unless otherwise stated, 2020 metrics below represent pro-forma combined fuboTV, Facebank Pre-Merger and fuboTV Pre-Merger,
and year-over-year comparisons refer to 2019 fuboTV Pre-Merger.
Paid
Subscribers
We
believe the number of paid subscribers is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. Paid subscribers are 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 in the month ending the relevant period. Users who are on a free (trial) period are not included
in this metric. We had 547,880 and 315,729 paid subscribers as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Content
Hours
We
believe the number of Content Hours streamed on our platform is a relevant measure to gauge user engagement. Content Hours is
defined as the sum of total hours of content watched on the fuboTV platform for a given period. We had 544.9 million and 289.7
million Content Hours streamed in the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Non-GAAP
Monthly Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)
We
believe Non-GAAP Monthly Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is a relevant measure to gauge the revenue received per subscriber on
a monthly basis. ARPU is defined as total subscriber revenue collected in the period, also known as Platform Bookings (subscriber
and advertising revenues excluding other revenues) divided by the average daily paid subscribers in such period divided by the
number of months in the period. Our ARPU was $62.84 and $53.73 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Non-GAAP
Monthly Average Cost Per User (ACPU)
We
believe Non-GAAP Monthly Average Cost Per User (ACPU) is a relevant measure to gauge our variable expenses per subscriber. ACPU
reflects Variable COGS per user, defined as subscriber related expenses less minimum guarantees expensed, payment processing for
deferred revenue, IAB fees for deferred revenue and other subscriber related expenses in a given period, divided by the average
daily subscribers in the period, divided by the number of months in the period. Our ACPU was $56.48 and $55.37 for the twelve
months ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Non-GAAP
Adjusted Contribution Margin (ACM)
We
believe Non-GAAP Adjusted Contribution Margin (ACM) is a relevant metric to gauge our per-subscriber profitability. ACM is calculated
by subtracting ACPU from ARPU and dividing the result by ARPU. Our ACM was 10.1% and (3.1%) for the twelve months ending December
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Our
primary sources of cash are receipts from subscriber and advertising revenue, as well as proceeds from equity and debt financings.
The primary uses of cash are content and programming license fees, operating expenses including payroll-related, marketing, technology
and professional fees and expenses related to the launch and operation of our wagering business.
We
have multi-year lease agreements for office space. We expect to continue to incur material expenses for content and programming
license fees. As our business and workforce expands, we further expect ongoing expenditures for computer systems. In addition,
we may pursue merger and acquisition activities that could materially impact our liquidity and capital resources.
At
December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $134.9 million and a working capital deficiency of $70.6 million. We successfully
raised $181.0 million, net of offering expenses in October 2020, through a public offering of our common stock. Subsequent to
December 31, 2020, we successfully raised $391.4 million, net of offering expenses through the sale of 3.25% senior convertible notes.
The proceeds from these offering together with improving results from operations provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue
as a going concern within one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
Our
future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully
attract and retain subscribers, develop new technologies that can compete in a rapidly changing market with many competitors and
the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement
our product and service offerings.
In
addition to the foregoing, based on our current assessment, we do not expect any material impact on our long-term development
timeline and our liquidity due to the worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID 19”). However, we
are continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented to combat
the virus throughout the world. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global response to curb its spread,
COVID-19 may affect our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

offset by $9.7 million of deferred income tax benefit, $7.6 million gain on the sale of assets, $2.6 million of unrealized gain
on investments and $2.0 million change in fair value of profit share liability. Changes
in operating assets and liabilities resulted in cash outflows of approximately $5.8 million, primarily due to a net increase in
accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $14.7 million, a decrease in accounts payable, due to related
parties and lease liabilities of $40.5 million, and partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $40.8 million, and
deferred revenue of $8.6 million.
Investing
Activities
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million, which consisted of a $10.0 million advance
to fuboTV Pre-Merger, $0.6 million related to the sale of Nexway and $0.2 million in capital expenditures, offset by net cash
received of $9.4 million from the acquisition of fuboTV Pre-Merger.
Financing
Activities
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $279.1 million. The net cash provided is primarily
related to $278.9 million of proceeds received from the sale of our common stock, $33.6 million of proceeds received in connection
with short-term and long-term borrowings, $3.9 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants and $3.0 million of proceeds
received from the issuance of convertible notes. These proceeds were partially offset by repayments of $35.4 million of notes
payable, repayment of $3.9 million of convertible notes, and $0.9 million in connection with the redemption of Series D preferred
stock.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified all significant accounting policies in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business
Combinations
We
recognize, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the
date of acquisition. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible
assets. We estimate the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating
economic benefit from the asset. The determination of the fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets requires us to
make significant estimates and assumptions regarding projected revenue and growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. Unanticipated
events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
We also review our intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset is not recoverable.
In
accounting for the Merger described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, judgment was required in determining the accounting acquirer. Our evaluation of the accounting acquirer considered
various indicators including voting rights, minority voting interest, composition of board of directors, composition of management
and relative size of the entities. We ultimately concluded that Facebank Pre-Merger was the accounting acquirer in the Merger
because (i) FaceBank Pre-Merger’s stockholders owned approximately 57% of the voting common shares of the combined company
immediately following the closing of the Merger (54% assuming the exercise of all vested stock options as of the closing of the
transaction) and (ii) directors appointed by FaceBank Pre-Merger would hold a majority of board seats in the combined company.
Goodwill
We
test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year or earlier when circumstances
dictate. We measure recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The process of determining the fair value of a reporting
unit is highly subjective and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In performing our annual assessment,
we can opt to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or we can directly perform
a quantitative assessment. Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of our reporting unit is,
more likely than not, less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative assessment is performed. Any excess of the reporting
unit’s carrying amount over its fair value will be recorded as an impairment loss.
During
the third quarter of 2020, we identified a triggering event related to our Facebank reporting unit that required us to perform
a quantitative assessment. We concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and we recognized
an impairment charge of $148.1 million in third quarter of 2020. The impairment charge was primarily related to the departure
of the former executive of the Facebank business and our shift in focus to the fuboTV business.
We
performed our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2020 and concluded that no additional impairment charges were necessary.
Intangible
Assets
We
identify intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determine their fair value. The determination involves certain
judgments and estimates. We amortize purchased-intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the
assets. We review purchased-intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter
than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances
indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of purchased-intangible assets
by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the asset group against their respective carrying amounts.
Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of these asset groups. If the useful life
of the asset is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying
value over the new shorter useful life
During
the third and fourth quarters of 2020, we identified triggering events related to our Facebank intangible assets that
required us to perform a quantitative assessment. We concluded that the fair value of the intangible assets was less than its
carrying value and we recognized impairment charges of $100.3 million related to the legacy Facebank intangible
assets.
