AUSTIN, TX, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire –Interactive Strength Inc. d/b/a FORME (the "Company", or “FORME”) (NASDAQ: TRNR), today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023.   

The Company incurred a net loss of $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, or a loss of $0.73 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $14.8 million, or a loss of $30.16 per diluted share for the same period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a $3.4 million loss for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter reflects $4.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

The Company continued to make substantial progress towards completing the acquisition of the assets of CLMBR, Inc., the maker of the first-to-market connected vertical climber, with a definitive agreement being executed in early October as previously disclosed.

As previously announced, the potential transaction, if consummated, is expected to accelerate FORME’s commercialization path, result in immediate scale across all functions and create a high-growth and profitable platform that sells connected fitness equipment and digital fitness services across B2B and B2C channels. Based on internal projections from the target’s management, 2024 combined revenues are projected to exceed $20 million. By the fourth quarter of 2024, the combined business is expected to be cash flow positive and to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA based on identified cost synergies.  There can be no assurance, however, that such results will be achieved.

CEO Comments

Trent Ward, co-founder and CEO of FORME, said, “The third quarter showed continued reduction in operating expenses, resulting in the lowest adjusted EBITDA loss we have had since becoming commercial at $3.4 million. We expect that our operating expenses further decrease in the fourth quarter as we drive more operating efficiencies, which is setting the stage for us to reach profitability in the next twelve months based on the acquisition of CLMBR.”

“We believe that this is a transformational acquisition, both in its potential to help drive the business to profitability toward the end of next year and by shifting the channel where the vast majority of the revenue is generated to B2B. We continue to grow our distribution footprint in different B2B verticals and are excited about gaining a partner such as WOODWAY to really drive the business forward.”
