Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
A. Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
B. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
C. Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. As of December 31, 2022, management completed an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Based on that assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. KPMG, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included below.
D. Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
E. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors fuboTV Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited fuboTV Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 27, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors fuboTV Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of fuboTV Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 27, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for the 2026 Convertible Notes as of January 1, 2022 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill impairment assessment for the streaming reporting unit
As discussed in Notes 3 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the streaming reporting unit is $618.5 million as of December 31, 2022. Since October 1, 2022, the Company experienced sustained decreases in its stock price and market capitalization. As a result, the Company conducted an impairment test of its goodwill as of December 31, 2022, estimating the fair value of its streaming reporting unit by weighting results from a market approach and an income approach. The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit. Therefore, it was determined that goodwill is not impaired.
We identified the assessment of the fair value of the streaming reporting unit for purposes of the December 31, 2022 goodwill impairment test as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain assumptions used in the income approach. Specifically, the Company’s determination of the revenue growth, subscriber related expenses and discount rate used in the test were challenging as they represented subjective determinations of future market and economic conditions. Changes in these assumptions could have had a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the fair value of the streaming reporting unit. Additionally, the audit effort associated with the discount rate required specialized skills and knowledge.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process, including controls related to the revenue growth, subscriber related expenses and discount rate used. We evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s revenue growth by comparing it to historical results, analyst reports and the Company’s underlying business strategies and growth plans. We evaluated the reasonableness of subscriber related expenses by comparing them to historical results and distribution rights arrangements with content providers. To assess the Company’s ability to accurately project revenue growth and subscriber related expenses, we compared the Company’s historical projections to actual results. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in developing an estimate of the discount rate using inputs from publicly available market data and comparing the result to the Company's discount rate assumption.

fuboTV Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except for share and per share information)
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Incorporation
fuboTV Inc. (“Fubo” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name York Entertainment, Inc. The Company changed its name to FaceBank Group, Inc. on September 30, 2019. On August 10, 2020, the Company changed its name to fuboTV Inc. and as of May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “FBNK” to “FUBO.” The Company’s common stock was approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in connection with a public offering in October 2020 and commenced trading on the NYSE on October 8, 2020.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “Fubo,” “fuboTV,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Merger with fuboTV Inc.
On April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into fuboTV Pre-Merger, whereby fuboTV Pre-Merger 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 Pre-Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and such transaction, the “Merger”).
Nature of Business
The Company is principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment through its streaming platform. The Company’s revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements in the United States, though the Company has expanded into several international markets, with operations in Canada, Spain and France.
The Company’s subscription-based streaming services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts through which the Company provides basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase incremental features that include additional content or enhanced functionality (“attachments”) best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. The Fubo platform provides a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine, as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company launched a business-to-consumer online sports wagering business (“Fubo Sportsbook”) in the states of Iowa and Arizona, and in the state of New Jersey during the third quarter of 2022. On October 17, 2022, the Company ceased operation of Fubo Sportsbook in connection with the dissolution of Fubo Gaming Inc. ("Fubo Gaming") (see Note 4).
Note 2 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company 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.
The Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $ 343.2 million, working capital of $ 26.1 million (excluding discontinued operations) and an accumulated deficit of $ 1,558.1 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $ 425.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been financed primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities. The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and expects to continue to incur substantial losses.
F-12
Table of Contents
On February 2, 2021, the Company issued $ 402.5 million of convertible notes (“2026 Convertible Notes.”) The 2026 Convertible Notes bear interest from February 2, 2021, at a rate of 3.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. The 2026 Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $ 389.4 million, after deducting a discount and offering expenses of approximately $ 13.1 million.
As discussed further in Note 14, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 292.1 million (after deducting $ 6.6 million in commissions and expenses) from sales of 50,620,577 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average gross sales price of $ 5.90 per share, pursuant to at-the-market sales agreements with its sales agents.
As discussed further in Note 5, in December 2021, the Company acquired Molotov SAS (“Molotov”) for an estimated purchase price of € 101.7 million (approximately $ 115.0 million) in a combination of € 14.4 million of cash ($ 16.3 million) and 5.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents provide it with the necessary liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company cannot predict the long-term impact on its development timelines, revenue levels and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors, including inflationary cost pressures and potential recession indicators. Based upon the Company’s current assessment, it does not expect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic factors to materially impact the Company’s operations. However, the Company is continuing to assess the impact that the spread of COVID-19 and other macroeconomic factors may have on its operations.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 4 for information on discontinued operations).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements, and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Segment and Reporting Unit Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM. As discussed in Note 1, the Company ceased operations of Fubo Sportsbook in connection with the dissolution of Fubo Gaming in October 2022. Consequently, the wagering reportable segment has been eliminated. Subsequent to the dissolution of Fubo Gaming, the CODM reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions at the consolidated group level. The Company has one operating segment as of December 31, 2022, the streaming business.
Cash , Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents, including balances held in the Company’s money market account. Restricted cash primarily represents cash on deposit with financial institutions in support of a letter of credit outstanding in favor of the Company’s landlord for office space. The restricted cash balance has been excluded from the cash balance and is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same on the consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 337,087 $ 370,968
Restricted cash 6,139 5,112
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 343,226 $ 376,080
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of demand deposits, time-based deposits and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits.
The majority of the Company’s software and computer systems utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided by Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services, which cannot be easily switched to another cloud service provider. As such, any disruption of the Company’s interference with Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services could adversely impact the Company’s operations and business.
Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for the treasury stock using the cost method, which treats it as a reduction in shareholders’ equity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 800,000 shares of its common stock at par value. In February 2021, the Company issued 623,068 shares of treasury stock in connection with the acquisition of Vigtory, Inc. and in December 2021, the Company issued the remaining 176,932 shares of treasury stock in connection with the acquisition of Edisn Inc. See Note 5 for further discussion regarding the acquisitions.
Fair Value Estimates
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued payroll, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of notes payable and long-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity and the fact that the effective interest rates on these obligations are comparable to market interest rates for instruments of similar credit risk.
F-14
Table of Contents
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Accounts Receivable, net
The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any potentially uncollectible accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable balance consists of amounts due from the sale of advertisements and subscription revenue. In evaluating our ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current economic trends. Bad debts are written off after all collection efforts have ceased. Based on the Company’s current and historical collection experience, management concluded that an allowance for credit losses was not necessary as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, one customer, respectively, accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Licensed Content
The Company entered into various license agreements to obtain rights to certain live sports events. Costs incurred in acquiring certain rights to live sporting events are accounted for in accordance with ASC 920, Entertainment—Broadcasters (“ASC 920”). These program rights are expensed in a manner consistent with how it expects to monetize the licensed content, which is primarily based on subscription revenue and is included in subscriber related expenses.
Cash flows for licensed content are presented within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Impairment Testing of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Table of Contents
In August 2022 the Company initiated a strategic review of Fubo Sportsbook, exploring a possible sale or partnership transaction, or possible dissolution. This represented a triggering event in that there would be a significant change in the extent and manner in which the long-lived assets of Fubo Sportsbook would be used, and there was an expectation that the assets would be sold or otherwise disposed of. T he Company ceased operation of Fubo Sportsbook in connection with the dissolution of Fubo Gaming in October 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined the carrying value of the asset groups, within Fubo Sportsbook, exceeded future undiscounted cash flows. The Company then calculated the fair value of the asset groups as the present value of the estimated future cash flows and determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value in certain instances. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $ 76.7 million which represented substantially all of the long-lived assets of Fubo Sportsbook (see Note 4) which is recorded in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Acquisitions and Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business combination transactions to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and separately identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from: (a) acquired technology, (b) trademarks and trade names, and (c) customer relationships, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. The allocation of the purchase consideration may remain preliminary as the Company gathers additional facts about the circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Exit and Disposal Costs
The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities, including termination of a line of business or restructuring, in accordance with ASC 420 , Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company defines a business restructuring as an exit or disposal activity that includes but is not limited to a program which is planned and controlled by management and materially changes either the scope of a business or the manner in which that business is conducted. Under ASC 420 , a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is measured at its fair value and recognized as incurred. Business restructuring charges may include (i) contract termination costs and (ii) other related costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Contract termination costs include costs to terminate a contract or costs that will continue to be incurred under the contract without benefit to the Company. A liability is recognized and measured at its fair value when the Company either terminates the contract or ceases using the rights conveyed by the contract. The Company estimated the fair value using a probability-weighted cash flow approach. A subsequent change resulting from a revision to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows is recognized as an adjustment to the liability in the period of the change. During the year ended December 31, 2022 , the Company recognized liabilities in connection with the dissolution of Fubo Gaming (See Note 4), including termination of certain contracts and severance and other employee related costs.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1 for each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment, issued by the FASB. If it is determined that the fair value is less than its carrying amount, the excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Table of Contents
Intangible Assets, net
The Company’s intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Customer relationships 2 years
Trade names 2 - 9 years
Software and technology 3 - 9 years
We capitalize qualifying development costs associated with software that is developed or obtained for internal use, provided that management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the project, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs, including costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional significant functionality are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, which approximates three years . Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation operation activities, including training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 represents Pulse Evolution Corp. shareholders who retained an aggregate 23.4 % and 23.4 %, respectively, interest in that entity following the Company's acquisition of Evolution AI Corporation. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders’ proportionate share of the earnings or losses even if loss allocations result in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for common stock warrants with cash settlement features as liability instruments at fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities has been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. There were no warrant liabilities outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term.
In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less, if any, from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue From Contracts With Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “revenue standard”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
• Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 3: Determine the transaction price
• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
• Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
In 2022, the Company generated revenue from the following sources:
1. Subscriptions – The Company sells various subscription plans through its website and third-party app stores. These subscription plans provide different levels of streamed content and functionality depending on the plan selected. Subscription fees are fixed and paid in advance by credit card on primarily on a monthly basis. A subscription customer executes a contract by agreeing to the Company’s terms of service. The Company considers the subscription contract legally enforceable once the customer has accepted terms of service and the Company has received credit card authorization from the customer’s credit card company. The terms of service allow customers to terminate the subscription at any time, however, in the event of termination, no prepaid subscription fees are refundable. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to the customers, which is ratably over the subscription period. Upon the customer agreeing to the Company’s terms and conditions and authorization of the credit card, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the streamed content ratably throughout the term of the contract. Subscription services sold through third-party app stores are recorded gross in revenue with fees to the third-party app stores recorded in subscriber related expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Management concluded that the customers are the end user of the subscription services sold by these third-party app stores.
2. Advertising – The Company executes agreements with advertisers that want to display ads (“impressions”) within the streamed content. The Company enters into individual insertion orders (“IOs”) with advertisers, which specify the term of each ad campaign, the number of impressions to be delivered and the applicable rate to be charged. The Company invoices advertisers monthly for impressions actually delivered during the period. Each executed IO provides the terms and conditions agreed to in respect of each party’s obligations. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to the advertiser, which generally is when the advertisement has been displayed.

Subscriber Related Expenses
Subscriber related expenses consist primarily of affiliate distribution rights and other distribution costs related to content streaming. The cost of affiliate distribution rights is generally incurred on a per subscriber basis and is recognized when the related programming is distributed to subscribers. The Company has certain arrangements whereby affiliate distribution rights are paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed payments. An accrual is established when actual affiliate distribution costs are expected to fall short of the minimum guaranteed amounts. To the extent actual per subscriber fees do not exceed the minimum guaranteed amounts, the Company will expense the minimum guarantee in a manner reflective of the pattern of benefit provided by these subscriber related expenses, which approximates a straight-line basis over each minimum guarantee period within the arrangement. Subscriber related expenses also include credit card and payment processing fees for subscription revenue, customer service, certain employee compensation and benefits, cloud computing, streaming, and facility costs. The Company receives advertising spots from television networks for sale to advertisers as part of the affiliate distribution agreements. Subscriber related expenses totaled $ 976.4 million, $ 593.2 million and $ 204.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Broadcasting and Transmission
Broadcasting and transmission expenses are charged to operations as incurred and consist primarily of the cost to acquire a signal, transcode, store, and retransmit it to the subscriber.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, agency costs, advertising campaigns and branding initiatives. All sales and marketing costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising expense totaled $ 133.2 million, $ 111.9 million and $ 48.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Technology and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, technical services, software expenses, and hosting expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, corporate insurance, office expenses, professional fees, as well as travel, meals, and entertainment costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for the fair value of restricted stock units using the closing market price of its common stock on the date of the grant.
The Company accounts for share-based payment awards exchanged for services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. Stock options issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plans are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and expire up to ten years from the date of grant. These options generally vest over a four- year period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
Expected Term - The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its
F-19
Table of Contents
contractual term. The simplified method was used because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.
Expected Volatility – The Company historically has lacked sufficient company specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies with consideration of the volatility of its own traded stock price.
Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U. S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
Expected Dividend - The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.
The Company accounts for forfeited awards as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currencies of non-U.S. subsidiaries is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters , using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separately account for an embedded conversion feature as an equity component in certain circumstances. A convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for an embedded conversion feature unless separate accounting is required for an embedded conversion feature as a derivative or under the substantial premium model. The ASU simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. Further, the ASU requires enhanced disclosures about convertible instruments. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception.
The Company adopted the ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption at January 1, 2022, the Company made certain adjustments in its consolidated balance sheets as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 11) which consists of an increase of $ 75.3 million in Convertible notes, net of discount, a net decrease of $ 87.9 million in Additional paid-in capital and a net decrease of $ 12.7 million in Accumulated deficit.
F-21
Table of Contents
Additionally, from January 1, 2022, as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes, we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount related to the previously separated equity component.
After adoption, the Company accounts for the 2026 Convertible Notes as single liability measured at amortized cost. The Company did not elect the fair value option. The Company will apply the if-converted methodology in computing diluted earnings per share if and when profitability is achieved.
The following table summarizes the adjustments made to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 as a result of applying the modified retrospective method in adopting ASU 2020-06 (in thousands):
As Reported ASU 2020-06 As Adjusted
December 31, 2021 Adjustments January 1, 2022
2026 Convertible Notes $ 316,354 $ 75,264 $ 391,618
Additional paid-in capital $ 1,691,206 $ ( 87,946 ) $ 1,603,260
Accumulated deficit $ ( 1,009,293 ) $ 12,682 $ ( 996,611 )
Under the modified retrospective method, the Company does not need to restate the comparative periods in transition and will continue to present financial information and disclosures for periods before January 1, 2022 in accordance with guidance under ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20). The adoption did not impact previously reported amounts in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and the basic and diluted net loss per share amounts.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in January 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment-Broadcasters-Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. The amendments also require that an entity reassess estimates of the use of a film for a film in a film group and account for any changes prospectively. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to test for impairment a film or license agreement within the scope of ASC 920-350 at the film group level, when the film or license agreement is predominantly monetized with other films and/or licensed agreements. The Company adopted this ASU in January 2022, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change.

The Company performed its annual test for goodwill impairment for the streaming reporting unit as of October 1, 2022. Based on a qualitative analysis, it was determined that it was more likely than not that goodwill was not impaired. Since October 1, 2022, the Company experienced sustained decreases in its stock price and market capitalization. As a result, the Company conducted an impairment test of its goodwill and long-lived assets as of December 31, 2022. The Company estimated the fair value by weighting results from a market approach and an income approach. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies included, but are not limited to, prospective financial information (including revenue growth and subscriber related expenses), a long-term growth rate, discount rate, and comparable multiples from publicly-traded companies in the same industry. The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value of the streaming reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value. Therefore, it was determined that goodwill is not impaired.
The process of determining the fair value of a reporting unit is highly subjective and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company’s December 31, 2022 goodwill impairment test reflected an allocation of 50% and 50% between income and market-based approaches, respectively. The income-based approach also takes into account the future growth and profitability expectations. Significant inputs into the valuation models included the control premium, discount rate, and revenue market multiples as follows:
December 31, 2022
Control premium 35 %
Discount rate 31 %
Revenue multiples 0.34 x - 0.52 x
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $ 148.1 million related to the historical Facebank reporting unit .

The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company continued to maintain that the realization of its deferred tax assets has not achieved a more likely than not threshold therefore, net deferred tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $ 103.4 million and $ 116.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1,207.3 million. The federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 88.1 million generated before January 1, 2018 will begin to expire in 2033, and $ 1,119.3 million will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 475.0 million. The state net operating loss carryforward of $ 462.7 million will begin to expire in 2033 and $ 12.3 million will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 162.5 million. With the exception of the loss carryforwards attributable to the Company’s Indian subsidiary which may be carried for eight years, the foreign net operating loss carryforwards will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to a limitation on the amount that can be used to offset taxable income in a given year.
Utilization of the NOL carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Code Sections 382 and 383, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain shareholders or public groups. Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions which, combined with the purchasing shareholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares have resulted in such an ownership change and could result in an ownership change in the future upon subsequent disposition.
The Company conducted an analysis of our stock ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and 383. The net operating loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitations as a result of the ownership changes in 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2021. Approximately $ 1.1 million of the net operating loss carryforwards are expected to expire before the utilization.
The Company follows the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return. No liability related to uncertain tax positions was required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company had not incurred any material tax interest or penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not anticipate any significant change within 12 months of this reporting date of its uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions, France, Spain and India. The Company had been delinquent in filings since December 31, 2014. During 2021, the Company filed all past due income tax returns There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s tax years 2013 through 2022 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss credits. The Company’s 2019 to 2022 tax years will remain open for examination by the Spain tax authority for four years starting from the day following the date of termination of the voluntary tax filing period. The Company’s 2020 - 2022 tax years remain open for examination in France. The Company's 2021-2022 tax years are open for examination by the Indian tax authority.

The Company accounted for the 2026 Convertible Notes using a cash conversion model. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company used an effective interest rate of 8.67 % to estimate the fair value of the debt instrument, excluding the equity conversion feature, and recognized a debt discount of $ 90.9 million (representing the difference between the fair value and the net proceeds) with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. The underwriting discount and offering expenses totaling $ 13.1 million were allocated between the debt and equity issuance costs in proportion to the allocation of the liability and equity components of the 2026 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, equity issuance costs of $ 3.0 million were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital and total debt issuance costs of $ 10.1 million were recorded on the issuance date and are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The debt discount and debt issuance costs are being amortized through February 15, 2026, as amortization of debt discount on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid $ 13.4 million of interest expense in connection with the 2026 Convertible Notes and recorded amortization expense of $ 2.5 million included in amortization of debt discount in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
As of December 31, 2022, the net carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $ 394.1 million, with unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $ 8.4 million. The estimated fair value (Level 2) of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $ 183.1 million.

Framework Agreement with MEP FTV
On August 2, 2022 (the "MEP Effective Date"), Fubo Studios Inc. (formerly known as Fubo Entertainment Inc.), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a binding framework agreement (the “MEP Framework Agreement”) with MEP FTV Holdings, LLC (“MEP FTV”) and Maximum Effort Productions, Inc. (“MEP” and, together with MEP FTV, “Maximum Effort”), memorializing the parties’ collaboration on a forthcoming Maximum Effort linear channel and original programming for launch on Fubo. Maximum Effort is a premiere entertainment production company led by Ryan Reynolds and George Dewey. Pursuant to the MEP Framework Agreement, the Company and Maximum Effort desire to work together to (1) develop scripted and unscripted television programs intended for initial distribution on Fubo’s platform (the “MEP Projects”) and (2) create a new television channel with unique content, features and functionality (the “MEP Network”).
In connection with the MEP Framework Agreement, as consideration for Maximum Effort’s participation in the collaboration, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated August 12, 2022 (the “MEP RSA Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed to issue to MEP FTV (i) 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, of the Company, within 10 business days after the MEP Effective Date; (ii) a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $ 10.0 million by the 30 -day volume weighted average closing price of common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the first anniversary of the MEP Effective Date, within 10 business days after the first anniversary of the MEP Effective Date; and (iii) a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $ 10.0 million by the 30 -day volume weighted average closing price of common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the second anniversary of the MEP Effective Date, within 10 business days after the second anniversary of the MEP Effective Date (collectively, the “MEP Shares”). The MEP Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions until various time- and performance-based milestones are met, and, during this restricted period, will be subject to potential forfeiture if the MEP Framework Agreement is terminated under certain conditions. The parties agreed that 80 % of the equity grant shall be allocated as consideration for the MEP Projects and 20 % of the equity grant shall be allocated as consideration for the MEP Network.
Because shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued as consideration for the MEP Framework Agreement, the Company accounted for the MEP RSA Agreement pursuant to the non-employee guidance in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.

Stock Options
The Company provides option grants to employees, directors, and consultants under the 2020 Plan. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company historically has lacked sufficient company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly-traded set of peer companies with consideration of the volatility of its own traded stock price. The risk-free interest rate is determined by referencing the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term. The simplified method was used because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.

Performance-Based Stock Options
On October 8, 2020, the Company awarded the CEO an option to purchase up to 4,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock which vests based upon the achievement of certain predetermined goals for each of the five years in the performance period related to stock price, revenue, gross margin, subscribers, new markets launched and new revenue streams between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2025, which are described in the Company’s annual operating plan. On a given Determination Date (subsequent to the Company’s calendar year end), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will review actual performance against the predetermined metrics and determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of any vesting that occurs on a given Determination Date. Any such vesting is subject to the CEO’s continuation in service with the Company through such Determination Date. The Board may determine vesting at, above, or below 20% of the shares subject to the performance option. All shares may be eligible for vesting until the Determination Date following the 2026 calendar year. Because the number of shares to be earned on each Determination Date is subject to the discretion of the Board, a grant date will not occur until then. As such, compensation expense is adjusted each reporting period for changes in fair value prorated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered and based on the number of shares expected to be earned. As of December 31, 2022, 820,000 shares of the option had vested, and during the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company recognized $ 2.2 million of stock-based compensation benefit related to the options. Upon each subsequent Determination Date in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, total stock-based compensation expense for each vested tranche will be remeasured and adjusted to reflect the grant date fair value.

Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including relating to business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the financial statements taken as a whole. When a material loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made. Legal expenses associated with any contingency are expensed as incurred.
The Company is engaged in discussions with certain third parties regarding patent licensing matters. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate whether it will be able to reach an agreement with these parties or the amount of potential licensing fees, if any, it may agree to pay in connection with these discussions, but it is possible that any such amount could be material.
Following the dissolution of Fubo Gaming in October 2022, the Company has received communications from several commercial partners of Fubo Gaming, alleging breach by Fubo Gaming of applicable agreements. Additional allegations, or litigation, may arise against Fubo Gaming or the Company in the future related to the dissolution of Fubo Gaming, including potential breach of contract claims by other commercial partners of Fubo Gaming or claims related to guarantees by the Company of Fubo Gaming’s contractual obligations.
From time to time, we enter into business arrangements with vendors for technology services in the ordinary course of business. We are currently engaged in discussions with a vendor surrounding the scope of the parties’ relationship and underlying obligations under the terms of their contract. This includes, among other things, the type and range of services to be provided by this vendor to the Company, the corresponding expenditures by the Company payable under the agreement, and the vendor’s compliance with its good faith express and implied obligations under the contract. Accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of the Company’s potential expenditures, if any, under our arrangement with this vendor, but it is possible that the amounts that the Company may pay for services under the contract could be material.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is and may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, the Company believes that the likelihood of any material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position for any such litigation or claims is remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of the costs to defend lawsuits, diversion of management resources and other factors.
