Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors to Consider
Strength in advertising demand on the streaming platform along with strong attachment rates on value-added services, such as cloud DVR storage and the ability to stream on multiple devices is expected to have aided top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
Investor focus will be on paid subscriber growth, which is an important metric for fuboTV. The popularity of its sports-first live TV streaming platform is expected to have aided paid subscriber growth in the first quarter.
North America subscribers are expected to reach 1.14-1.16 million in the first quarter of 2023. ROW subscribers are expected to reach 368-373 thousand in the first quarter of 2023.
The company closed 2022 with 1.445 million total paid subscribers, up 29% from the prior year. Net subscriber additions in the fourth quarter of 2022 were around 80K, driven by the company’s sports-first positioning, which differentiates fuboTV from other live TV-streaming platforms. The trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
In the first quarter, fuboTV rebrands its consumer facing products as Fubo. The nationwide campaign was co-produced by Ryan Reynolds and featured Kevin Garnett and Mark Sanchez. This campaign is expected to have positively impacted on the number of subscribers in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s strengthening position in online sports wagering is likely to have aided first-quarter performance.
Key Developments in Q1
In the first quarter, MLB.TV has been added to fuboTV’s streaming platform. The customers can add MLB.TV to their existing plan for $24.99/month. MLB.TV offers every out-of-market MLB game live. This addition is expected to boost the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
