The company also improved cash usage and strengthened its balance sheet, ending the quarter with $364.8 million in cash and equivalents.

Fubo ranks #1 in Customer Satisfaction among Live TV Streaming Providers according to J.D. Power, thanks to its growing market share and users spending over 100 hours per month on the platform. The company rebranded to Fubo in March, reflecting its diverse offerings, and launched a national advertising campaign featuring Kevin Garnett and Mark Sanchez.

Q1 performance showcased Fubo’s 37% YoY growth in North American subscription revenue, driven by ARPU expansion and strong subscriber growth, as well as lower-than-expected churn. North American advertising revenue remained flat, but acceleration is anticipated in Q2. Efficiency was demonstrated through a reduction in sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue, from ~18% to ~13%.

“We are pleased with Fubo’s execution to start 2023 – beating expectations across our KPIs – and our increased North America guidance for the year reflects our confidence in our continued leadership in streaming,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, Fubo. “In addition, we remain confident in our path to generate positive cash flow in 2025. While the macro uncertainty continues, the second quarter has started well, with customer engagement ongoing and advertising accelerating sequentially. We look forward to keeping shareholders updated on our progress in the quarters to come.”
