On February 5, 2020, Peloton Interactive, Inc. (“Peloton” or the "Company") will hold a conference call regarding its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Peloton also issued a letter to its stockholders announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 (the “Shareholder Letter”). A copy of the Shareholder Letter is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information furnished with this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Peloton is making reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the Shareholder Letter and the conference call. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the Shareholder Letter, as attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Peloton uses its Investor Relations website (https://investor.onepeloton.com/investor-relations) as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
In connection with the initial public offering of Class A common stock (the “IPO”) of Peloton, all of the Company’s executive officers, directors, and substantially all of the holders of the Company’s common stock, or securities exercisable for or convertible into the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the IPO, including shares of Class A common stock issued in a private placement to entities affiliated with TCV, an existing stockholder, concurrently with the IPO (the “Private Placement”), and shares of Class A common stock purchased by two directors of the Company in the IPO, were parties to market standoff agreements with the Company or entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters that restrict their ability to sell or transfer their shares, or otherwise engage in certain transactions related to their shares, for a period of 180 days after September 25, 2019. Such period is referred to as the lock-up period.
Pursuant to the lock-up agreements with the underwriters, if (i) at least 120 days have elapsed since September 25, 2019, (ii) the Company has publicly released earnings results for the quarterly period during which the IPO occurred and (iii) such lock-up period is scheduled to end during or within five trading days prior to a broadly applicable period during which trading in the Company’s securities would not be permitted under its insider trading policy (the “blackout period”), such lock-up period will end ten trading days prior to the commencement of such blackout period.
The lock-up period is scheduled to end on March 23, 2020, which falls within the Company’s quarterly blackout period that commences at the end of the day on March 7, 2020. Therefore, in accordance with the lock-up agreements with the underwriters, the lock-up period will end on February 23, 2020 and shares subject to the lockup period will be eligible to begin trading on February 24, 2020, which is ten trading days prior to the commencement of the Company’s quarterly blackout period. The Company will also release the market standoff agreements when the lock-up period expires.
The Company estimates that, based on the number of shares of the Company's capital stock which as of January 31, 2020 are: (i) outstanding or (ii) subject to stock options that have or will be vested as of February 24, 2020, approximately 317.4 million shares of Class A common stock (including approximately 273.4 million shares of Class B common stock convertible into Class A common stock) may become eligible for sale in the public market at the open of trading on February 24, 2020, including (i) 3,448,275 shares of Class A common stock issued in the Private Placement and (ii) 86,206 shares of Class A common stock issued to the two directors of the Company in the IPO. This includes shares held by affiliates which are subject to volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

PELOTON INTERACTIVE, INC. FINANCIAL DISCUSSION OPERATING EXPENSES TOTAL OPERATING Total operating expenses of $258.7 million grew 55% year-over- EXPENSES year primarily due to increases in marketing expenses, personnel- related expenses, and rent and occupancy expenses to support our $258.7 million growth, including expansion into new international markets and 55% of revenue fitness verticals. Total operating expenses were 55% of total revenue, compared to 64% of total revenue in the prior year period. Our prior SALES AND year quarter included a one-time stock-based compensation charge of MARKETING $28.0 million related to our Series F tender offer. Excluding this impact, operating expense would have been 53% of total revenue. $160.5 million 34% of revenue Sales and marketing expense was $160.5 million and grew 61% year-over-year, representing 34% of total revenue. The increase GENERAL AND was primarily driven by higher acquisition and brand marketing ADMINISTRATIVE spend in the current year, including marketing for Tread, Digital and international. We also increased our global showroom count to 96 $77.5 million retail locations at the end of the quarter, up from 69 in the same 17% of revenue period last year, resulting in an increase in personnel costs, rent and occupancy costs, and depreciation expense in the current period. RESEARCH AND We believe these strategic investments in our sales and marketing DEVELOPMENT channels will set us up for continued future growth. Our prior year quarter included a one-time stock-based compensation charge $20.7 million related to our Series F tender offer of $2.3 million. Excluding this 4% of revenue impact, sales and marketing expense as a percent of total revenue would have been 37% in Q2 fiscal 2019.

The year-over-year growth was driven by continued investment in our teams and systems, public company costs, and lease expense related to our new headquarters in New York City, which we took possession of in August 2019. Our move to our new headquarters is planned for Fall 2020. Research and development expense was $20.7 million and grew 67% year-over-year representing 4% of total revenue. Excluding the one-time stock-based compensation charge related to our Series F tender offer of $1.3 million in the prior year quarter, research and development expense would have been 4% of total revenue in Q2 fiscal 2019. The growth in overall expense is primarily due to the expansion of our software and hardware engineering teams to continue to develop a robust pipeline of new software features and products.
