Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq: TRNR) Reports First Quarter 2025 Results, Increases 2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance to more than $75M
Company reports quarterly revenue of $1.4 million; net loss and earnings per diluted Share of $6.6 million and $1.74 Quarterly adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.5 million reflects 29% YOY improvement Stockholders' equity was $13.8 million at quarter end Increases 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75 million based on strong first quarter across TRNR, Sportstech and Wattbike AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) ("TRNR" or the "Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands and pending acquirer of Sportstech and Wattbike, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The Company reported revenue of $1.4 million, a nearly 4x increase from the prior-year period. Net loss for the quarter was $6.6 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $11.4 million and $2,681.82 per share in the same period last year. These figures do not include the pending acquisitions of Sportstech and Wattbike. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a loss of $2.5 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Stockholders' equity increased to $13.8 million, up from $7.1 million at year-end 2024, strengthening compliance with a key Nasdaq continued-listing requirement. As a result of strong Q1 performance across TRNR and the pending acquisitions of Sportstech, and Wattbike - which all together generated more than $20 million in pro forma revenue during the first quarter - the Company is raising its full-year 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75 million, a greater than 15% increase from the April guidance of $65 million. Trent Ward, CEO and Co-Founder of TRNR, said: "Our acquisition activity in the past few months and our improved shareholder's equity are expected to result in a transformational year. While our Sportstech and Wattbike deals are not yet closed, and therefore not reflected in our reported financials yet, we are operating as one group and our pro forma Q1 shows more than $20M in revenues when including those acquisitions. As a result, we are increasing our 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $75M and we expect that we will generate positive adjusted EBITDA in Q4 given that we would have been close to this milestone on a pro forma basis in Q1. We're focused on closing the transactions in the near-term and integrating operations to drive increased growth and synergy."

Channels for Disclosure of Information In compliance with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD, we announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'), press releases, company blog posts, public conference calls, and webcasts, as well as via our investor relations website. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating Company's non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on debt extinguishment; vendor settlements; and transaction related Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons: Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows: Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
