Connected Fitness Products Revenue decreased d $13.5 million, or 6% Y/Y, driven by lower sales and deliveries, partially offset by a mix shift toward higher-priced products. The company reported quarterly Ending Paid Connected Fitness Subscriptions of $2.80 million, down by 6% Y/Y.

Subscription Revenue decreased $23.2 million, or 5% Y/Y  driven by lower Paid Connected Fitness Subscriptions and lower Paid App Subscriptions, partly offset by Used Equipment Activation Fee Revenue.

Total Gross Profit was $328.1 million in the quarter, an increase of 5% Y/Y. Total Gross Margin was 54.1%, an increase of 560 bps Y/Y. Connected Fitness Products gross margin rose 900 bps to 17.3% due to prior-year inventory writedowns, a shift to higher-margin products, and lower service, warehousing and transportation costs. Subscription gross margin expanded 370 bps to 71.9% as music royalties, personnel costs, and depreciation and amortization declined.

Adjusted EBITDA was $140 million in the quarter, which was a $69.7 million improvement Y/Y.

The firm ended the quarter with $1.04 billion in unrestricted cash and equivalents. Net debt reduced $343 million or 43% Y/Y.

Outlook: Peloton Interactive expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $2.4 billion-$2.5 billion versus analyst consensus estimate of $2.460 billion.

Peloton Interactive expects first-quarter revenue of $525 million-$545 million versus $561.09 million analyst consensus estimate. It expects a quarterly Ending Paid Connected Fitness Subscriptions guidance of 2.72 million-2.73 million.

Peloton aims to generate at least $200 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2026 by cutting costs and improving monetization. The company expects $100 million in run-rate cost savings from its new restructuring plan, despite headwinds from tariff exposure, reduced net working capital benefits, and one-time restructuring charges. Improved gross margin and lower operating expenses are expected to help offset these pressures.

Peloton Interactive stock plunged 19% year-to-date as it missed at least two EPS estimates out of the last four quarters.
