Overview
We are committed to providing innovative, quality solutions to help people achieve a fit and healthy lifestyle. Our principal business activities include designing, developing, sourcing and marketing high-quality cardio and strength fitness products, related accessories and digital platform for consumer use, primarily in theU.S. ,Canada ,Europe andAsia . Our products are sold under some of the most-recognized brand names in the fitness industry: Nautilus®, Bowflex®, Octane Fitness® and Schwinn®. We market our products through two distinct distribution channels, Direct and Retail, which we consider to be separate business segments. Our Direct business offers products directly to consumers through television advertising, our websites, social media channels, and catalogs. Our Retail business offers our products through a network of independent retail companies and specialty retailers with stores and websites located in theU.S. and internationally. We also derive a portion of our revenue from the licensing of our brands and intellectual property. Our results for the first quarter were primarily impacted by higher sales, driven by stronger demand for home-fitness products and the appropriate improvements being implemented into our overall business to address long-term profitability. The primary actions taken include extensive, in-depth consumer insights research, which has identified an effective new positioning for the Bowflex® brand, and which is now underway through a new advertising campaign and updates to our websites, television commercials, social media, and other digital platforms. Additionally, we expect to launch targeted new products across all our channels over the next few quarters. In parallel, we plan to continue our digital transformation with the inclusion of updated digital experience platforms on key new products, moving toward our goal of having the majority of our products equipped with subscription-based digital experience offerings. 18

Net sales for the first three months of 2020 were$93.7 million , reflecting a 11.0% increase as compared to net sales of$84.4 million for the first three months of 2019. The increase was driven primarily by strong demand for strength and cardio products, particularly the Bowflex® SelectTech® weights and the new connected-fitness bikes. Additionally, the Company was able to capture the accelerated demand for home fitness resulting from COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in the last few weeks of March through strong omni-channel execution. Net sales of our Direct segment increased by$0.4 million , or 0.9%, for the first three months of 2020, compared to the first three months of 2019. Increased sales were driven primarily by strength products which grew 58.5% versus last year. Strength product sales were driven by Bowflex® SelectTech® weights and Bowflex® Home Gyms. Cardio product sales declined by 9.4% as strong demand for our connected-fitness bikes, the Bowflex® C6 and Schwinn® IC4, were not enough to fully offset declines in our Max Trainer® sales. Net sales of our Retail segment increased by$8.8 million , or 23.9%, for the first three months of 2020, compared to the first three months of 2019, with strong growth coming from both strength and cardio product sales. Strength sales were up 54.6%, driven primarily by strong demand for Bowflex® SelectTech® weights and Bowflex® Home Gyms. Cardio sales were up 17.7%, driven by the Schwinn® IC4 connected-fitness bikes and partially offset by declines in Octane Fitness® products as gym closures have begun to affect sales of commercial-grade equipment. Although numerous retailers have temporarily closed store locations due to COVID-19, Bowflex® and Schwinn® experienced strong year-over-year sales increases through retail partners' e-commerce and curbside pick-up platforms. Royalty income increased by$0.1 million , or 11.9%, for the first three months of 2020, compared to the first three months of 2019, primarily due to a royalty settlement. Gross profit decreased by$0.2 million , or 0.7%, for the first three months of 2020 to$35.6 million , or 38.0% of net sales, compared to gross profit of$35.8 million , or 42.5% of net sales, for the first three months of 2019. The decrease in gross profit dollars was primarily due to lower gross margin percentages in both the Direct and Retail segments. Gross margin percentage points decreased by 4.5% for the first three months of 2020 compared to the first three months of 2019 primarily due to unfavorable sales mix and higher landed product costs. Operating expenses decreased by$9.9 million or 21.4%, for the first three months of 2020 to$36.2 million , compared to operating expenses of$46.0 million for the first three months of 2019. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to increased expense discipline, particularly in advertising expenses which delivered strong return on investment in the first quarter of 2020. Operating loss decreased by$9.6 million , or 94.5%, for the first three months of 2020 to$0.6 million , compared to operating loss of$10.2 million for the first three months of 2019. The decrease in operating loss for the first three months of 2020 compared to the first three months of 2019 was primarily driven by lower operating expenses partially offset by lower gross margins. Income from continuing operations was$2.3 million for the first three months of 2020, or$0.08 per diluted share, compared to loss from continuing operations of$8.5 million , or$0.29 per diluted share, for the first three months of 2019. The increase in income from continuing operations was driven by higher revenue, expense discipline, and aided by the tax benefit related to the CARES Act. The effective tax rates for the first three months of 2020 and 2019 were 301.2% and 20.0%, respectively. The 281.2% year-over-year percentage rate differential was primarily due to changes in the tax treatment of net operating loses as a result of the CARES Act. The Company anticipates carrying back 2019 and 2020 losses to the 2016 and 2017 tax years and recognized$3.2 million of tax benefit, representing the 14 point tax rate differential between 2019 and 2020 and carry back tax periods, as income in the first quarter of 2020. Net income was$2.2 million for the first three months of 2020, compared to net loss of$8.6 million for the first three months of 2019. Net income per diluted share was$0.07 for the first three months of 2020, compared to net loss per diluted share of$0.29 for the first three months of 2019.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our results of operations may vary significantly from period-to-period. Our
revenues typically fluctuate due to the seasonality of our industry, customer
buying patterns, product innovation, the nature and level of competition for
health and fitness products, our ability to procure products to meet customer
demand, the level of spending on, and effectiveness of, our media and
advertising
19--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

programs and our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing sales relationships. In addition, our revenues are highly susceptible to economic factors, including, among other things, the overall condition of the economy and the availability of consumer credit in both theU.S. andCanada . The COVID-19 pandemic has created a heightened need for home-fitness products at an unplanned rate partially offset by declines in Octane Fitness® equipment as gym closures have begun to affect sales of commercial-grade equipment. Short-term increases in demand for many of our home-fitness products continue to outpace supply and we are accelerating the manufacturing and delivery of key products. We are uncertain and cannot predict with confidence the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 on our company's results of operations. Our profit margins may vary in response to the aforementioned factors and our ability to manage product costs. Profit margins may also be affected by fluctuations in the costs or availability of materials used to manufacture our products, tariffs, expedited shipping and transportation costs, costs associated with acquisition or license of products and technologies, product warranty costs, the cost of fuel, foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in costs of other distribution or manufacturing-related services. Our operating profits or losses may also be affected by the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization. Historically, our operating expenses have been influenced by media costs to produce and distribute advertisements of our products on television, the Internet and other media, facility costs, operating costs of our information and communications systems, product supply chain management, customer support and new product development activities. In addition, our operating expenses have been affected from time-to-time by asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other significant unusual or infrequent expenses. As a result of the above and other factors, our period-to-period operating results may not be indicative of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on our operating results and should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by us and other companies, both within and outside our industry. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties and, consequently, we cannot assure you of any future growth or profitability. For more information, see our discussion of risk factors located at Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K.
Discontinued Operations
Results from discontinued operations relate to the disposal of our former Commercial business, which was completed inApril 2011 . We reached substantial completion of asset liquidation atDecember 31, 2012 . Although there was no revenue related to the Commercial business in either the 2020 or 2019 periods, we continue to incur product liability and other legal expenses associated with product previously sold into the Commercial channel. 20

and subscription services.
(2) Strength products include: home gyms and Bowflex® SelectTech® dumbbells, kettlebell weights,
and accessories.
Direct
Net sales were $47.1 million , up 0.9%, from $46.7 million . Increased sales were
driven primarily by strength products which grew 58.5% versus last year.
Strength product sales were driven by Bowflex® SelectTech® weights and Bowflex®
Home Gyms. Cardio product sales declined by 9.4% as strong demand for our
connected-fitness bikes, the Bowflex® C6 and Schwinn® IC4, were not enough to
fully offset declines in our Max Trainer® sales.
Gross margin rate was 51.5%, down from 56.5%, primarily driven by unfavorable
product mix and higher landed product costs. Sales declines in the higher margin
Max Trainers line continue to pressure margins, while landed product costs were
driven higher by tariffs and expediting shipments from our factories in Asia .
Segment contribution income was $1.8 million , up 139.8%, compared to segment
contribution loss of $4.5 million . The improvement in segment contribution was
primarily driven by $6.5 million reduction in media spend, as gross profit was
below last year. Advertising expenses were $13.2 million in first quarter of
2020 compared to $19.7 million first quarter of 2019.
Combined consumer credit approvals by our primary and secondary U.S. third-party
financing providers for the first quarter of 2020 were 52.9%, compared to 54.3%
in the same period of 2019. The decrease in approval rates reflects lower credit
quality applications.
Retail
Net sales were$45.6 million , up 23.9%, from$36.8 million with strong growth coming from both strength and cardio product sales. Strength sales up were up 54.6%, driven primarily by strong demand for Bowflex® SelectTech® weights and Bowflex® Home Gyms. Cardio sales were up 17.7%, driven by the Schwinn® IC4 connected-fitness bikes and partially offset by declines in Octane Fitness® products as gym closures have begun to affect sales of commercial-grade equipment. Although numerous retailers have temporarily closed store locations due to COVID-19, Bowflex® and Schwinn® experienced strong year-over-year sales increases through retail partners' e-commerce and curbside pick-up platforms.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As ofMarch 31, 2020 , we had$26.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and$18.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility, compared to$11.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as ofDecember 31, 2019 . We expect our cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our Wells Fargo Financing atMarch 31, 2020 , along with cash expected to be generated from operations, to be sufficient to fund our operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months fromMarch 31, 2020 . Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Cash provided by operating activities was$6.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared to cash used in operating activities of$24.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The increase in cash flows from operating activities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 was primarily due to the increase in operating income, along with the changes in our operating assets and liabilities discussed below. Trade receivables decreased by$20.3 million to$34.3 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$54.6 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to the seasonality of the business. Trade receivables as ofMarch 31, 2020 compared toMarch 31, 2019 increased by$12.3 million due to the higher net sales in the first quarter of 2020. Allowance for doubtful accounts increased$0.4 million primarily due to requested payment delays for commercial accounts impacted by COVID-19. Inventories decreased by$19.8 million to$34.9 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$54.8 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to the seasonality of the business and to the surge in demand. Inventories as ofMarch 31, 2020 compared toMarch 31, 2019 decreased by$26.0 million , primarily due to our efforts to align inventory more closely to sales trends and to the surge in demand. Prepaid and other current assets decreased by$1.0 million to$7.3 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$8.3 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to lower prepaid marketing expenses. This decrease was partially offset by increases to prepaid insurance and information technology expenses. Trade payables decreased by$40.0 million to$34.2 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$74.3 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to seasonality of the business and inventory related payments. Trade payables as ofMarch 31, 2020 compared toMarch 31, 2019 decreased by$6.4 million , primarily due to our aligning inventory more closely to sales trends. Accrued liabilities increased by$1.8 million to$9.4 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$7.6 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 , primarily due to payroll related liabilities and other accruals. Cash used by investing activities of$1.7 million for the first three months of 2020 was due to capital expenditures for implementation of new software systems, production tooling and equipment. We anticipate spending between$8.0 million and$10.0 million in 2020 for digital platform enhancements, systems integration, and production tooling.
Cash provided by financing activities of
Financing Arrangements OnJanuary 31, 2020 , we entered into a Credit Agreement withWells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") and lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with Wells Fargo, the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make available to us an asset-based revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to$55.0 million , subject to a borrowing base (the "ABL Revolving Facility"), and a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of$15.0 million (the "Term Loan Facility" and together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the "Wells Fargo Financing"), in each case, as such amounts may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Wells Fargo Financing expires and all outstanding amounts become due onJanuary 31, 2025 unless the maturity is accelerated subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The repayment of obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. Principal and interest amounts are required to be paid as scheduled. 25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
We used the proceeds from the Wells Fargo Financing to extinguish our existing$40.0 million revolver withChase Bank ("2019 Chase Credit Agreement"), pay transaction expenses, and for general corporate purposes. Our previously existing credit facilities and agreements withChase Bank and all guarantees and liens existing in connection with those facilities and agreements were terminated upon the closing of the Wells Fargo Financing. In connection with the termination of the 2019 Chase Credit Agreement we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of$0.2 million as interest expense in our consolidated statement of income. As ofMarch 31, 2020 , outstanding borrowings totaled$28.4 million with$14.8 million and$13.6 million under our Wells Fargo Financing Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility, respectively. As ofMarch 31, 2020 , we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Wells Fargo Financing and$18.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility. Any outstanding balance is due and payable onJanuary 31, 2025 , unless the maturity is accelerated subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for financings of this type, including, among other terms and conditions, delivery of financial statements, reports and maintenance of existence, revolving availability subject to a calculated borrowing base, as well as limitations and conditions on our ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of its property; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include a minimum liquidity covenant of$7.5 million . BeginningFebruary 1, 2022 , the minimum liquidity covenant will decrease to$5.0 million and only a minimum EBITDA covenant will apply. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including but not limited to, the nonpayment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency and default on indebtedness held by third parties (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from our use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions. The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of indemnifications. Management does not deem these obligations to be significant to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and therefore, no liabilities were recorded atMarch 31, 2020 . Stock Repurchase Program OnFebruary 21, 2018 our Board of Directors authorized a$15.0 million share repurchase program and repurchases under this program totaled$1.0 million . For the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 no shares were repurchased. As ofFebruary 21, 2020 , the share repurchase program expired.
SEASONALITY
We expect our revenue from fitness equipment products to vary seasonally. Sales are typically strongest in the fourth quarter and are generally weakest in the second quarter. We believe that consumers tend to be involved in outdoor activities during the spring and summer months, including outdoor exercise, which impacts sales of indoor fitness equipment. This seasonality can have a significant effect on our inventory levels, working capital needs and resource utilization.
