P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 3 Peloton Shareholders, We’re pleased to announce strong results for our second quarter. We continued to see robust demand for our connected fitness platform through the Holiday selling season, and Member engagement gains continue to validate our hardware, software, and content investments. Our new Peloton Tread officially debuted in the U.K. on December 26 and we look forward to extending distribution to additional geographies in the coming months. On December 21, 2020 we announced our agreement to purchase Precor, one of the world’s largest commercial fitness equipment providers. Precor has long been a leader in the commercial fitness industry and brings substantial domestic manufacturing capabilities and a deep bench of R&D and manufacturing talent to Peloton. With Precor we see an opportunity to accelerate our plan to produce Peloton products domestically and further enhance our consumer and commercial offerings. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to present a challenging operating landscape, and we continue to work to address long order-to-delivery timeframes. However, our supply chain investments over the last several months are helping us better match our supply and demand going forward. Our manufacturing output has significantly increased, and we’ve officially begun ramping up production at our new Shin Ji factory in Taiwan. Unfortunately, well-publicized West Coast port delays and COVID-related factors continue to present challenges to returning our delivery times to pre-pandemic levels. We are making substantial additional investments in the near-term to address our extended delivery times and are hopeful that an acceleration in vaccine distribution and the broader opening of our economy will provide a tailwind to our efforts over the coming months.


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 4 Turning to our operations, we ended the quarter with 1.67 million Connected Fitness Subscriptions, representing 134% year-over-year growth. Total revenue grew 128% to $1.06 billion for the quarter, driven by strong demand for our Connected Fitness Products and sustained low churn levels. Paid Digital Subscriptions grew 472% year-over-year to approximately 625,000. As with our most recent quarter, we saw significant operating efficiencies despite our ongoing investments in supply chain, R&D, and scaling our operations. Net income for the quarter was $63.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $116.9 million, or 11.0% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, compared to a year-ago margin of (6.1)%. Total platform workouts (both Connected Fitness and Digital) grew to over 113 million in the quarter from 26 million in the year-ago quarter. In Q2, we recorded our largest single day of Member workouts (over 1.6 million).


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 5 Q U A R T E R H I G H L I G H T S Our global Content team was exceptionally busy in the quarter. In December, we introduced Peloton Pilates, an eagerly awaited series of 20 classes led by instructors Hannah Corbin, Emma Lovewell, Kristin McGee, Aditi Shah and Sam Yo. Members were thrilled and have taken over 1 million Pilates classes to date. Seasonally themed content featured the debut of Gratitude Week, encompassing the Thanksgiving holiday, with 17 classes across 9 fitness disciplines, driving over 870,000 workouts. A perennial favorite among our Member base, our Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Burn live rides led by Robin Arzón and Alex Toussaint were our single largest live rides ever, with a combined live audience of over 88,000 Members. Another highlight of Gratitude Week was our first ever Live Fit Family class. We were also excited to launch a series of Pre/Postnatal classes led by Robin Arzón. Heritage Months have become widely popular points of engagement on the Peloton platform. This quarter we celebrated LatinX/Hispanic Heritage Month, producing over 25 classes and driving over 330,000. This year we also extended our Heritage celebrations to our international markets, launching Black History Month in the U.K. and a series of Unification Rides hosted by our German instructors Irène Scholz and Erik Jäger. Asian Heritage Month Pride Month Gratitude Month Women’s History Month


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 6 From the beginning, it’s been clear that music is a critical component of the Peloton workout experience for our Members. Our music team is committed to providing the most compelling music experience in Connected Fitness, continuing to produce collaborations with artists and music rights holders to bring exclusive “only on Peloton” experiences to our Members. In Q2, we proudly announced our Beyoncé partnership with seven Beyoncé-themed classes. These classes drove over 1 million workouts in the quarter and included our largest live audiences to date for Yoga and Bike Bootcamp. And, in another first for our Peloton Music team, this quarter we partnered with the Elvis Presley Estate and Sony Music to produce three original Elvis remixes featuring Big Boi, Dillon Francis and Chromeo. These remixes debuted exclusively on our platform, providing a unique music discovery experience for our Member base. Beyoncé Collaboration Announcement Peloton App The Elvis Remixes Other Artist Series launches in the quarter included Metallica, Outkast and—on Christmas Day—The Beatles. Overall, our Artist Series themed classes were taken over 3.6 million times in the quarter, with over 148,000 live class participants across ten fitness disciplines.


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 7 We’re also excited by the early results of our November “Sessions” beta test. Sessions offers Members the ability to take pre-recorded classes with a synchronized start time, providing Members with a live leaderboard experience and the ability to more easily schedule shared rides with other Peloton Community Members. Sessions represented our first platform-wide feature beta test, logging over 1.7 million workouts by 780,000 Members over just a three week period. After further refinements, we’re looking forward to the relaunch of Sessions in the coming months. As our international Member community grows, so too does our investment in foreign language content. This quarter, we were excited to announce the addition of two German language instructors: Mayla Wedekind and Cliff Dwenger. Based in London, Mayla and Cliff will lead cycling classes in both German and English. “Sessions” beta test


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 8 Connected Fitness Subscription growth remained strong, benefiting from sustained demand for our original Bike, new category-defining Bike+, and Tread+, despite lower than typical levels of Holiday marketing. As with last quarter, our extended order-to-delivery windows resulted in a significant carry-over of undelivered product into Q3 2021. R E V E N U E We generated total revenue of $1,064.8 million, representing 128% year-over-year growth. Connected Fitness segment revenue was $870.1 million, representing 124% year-over-year growth and 82% of total revenue. Though we’re excited to announce that our new Peloton Tread commenced sales in the U.K. on December 26, these sales did not materially impact our reported revenue for the quarter. Subscription revenue grew to $194.7 million, representing 152% year-over-year growth and 18% of total revenue, driven by strong Connected Fitness Product sales and continued low Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn of 0.76%. Our Connected Fitness Subscription base climbed to 1.67 million at the end of Q2, representing year-over-year growth of 134%. As of December 31, 97% of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions were on month-to- month payment plans. In Q2, Average Monthly Workouts per Connected Fitness Subscription was 21.1, representing 67% year-over-year growth. Users with Connected Fitness Subscriptions logged over 98.1 million workouts, up from 24.3 million workouts in the same period last year, representing 303% year-over-year growth.

P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 9 G R O S S P R O F I T Gross profit in Q2 was $424.8 million and 39.9% of revenue, representing 115% year-over-year growth. Connected Fitness segment gross profit was $307.3 million in Q2, representing 102% year-over-year growth. Our Connected Fitness segment gross margin was 35.3%, a 385 basis point decline versus last year. Compared to the year-ago period, our Connected Fitness gross profit margin was primarily impacted by the recent Peloton Bike price reduction and expedited shipping costs. Subscription gross profit was $117.5 million in Q2, representing 163% year-over-year growth. Subscription gross margin was 60.3%, up from 58.0% in the year-ago period. Subscription Contribution was $127.2 million in Q2, representing 156% year-over-year growth. Subscription Contribution Margin was 65.3%, versus the prior year at 64.4%. As with last quarter, we continued to leverage our fixed content production costs which were partially offset by the impact of higher Member engagement and the higher penetration of Peloton Digital Subscriptions.

Sales and marketing expense was $177.4 million, and grew 11% year-over-year, representing 16.7% of total revenue versus the prior year period of 34.4%. In the quarter, we resumed a modest amount of paid holiday media support behind our new brand campaign, Peloton Digital and the launch of Bike+, though our spending remains restrained due to our ongoing inventory constraints. General and administrative expense was $141.1 million, and grew 82% year-over-year, representing 13.2% of total revenue versus the prior year period of 16.6%. Year-over-year growth was driven by continued investment in our teams and systems. Research and development expense was $47.5 million and grew 130% year-over-year, representing 4.5% of total revenue, versus the prior year period of 4.4%. Expense growth reflects increased investments behind people, new software features, and our hardware development pipeline.

Capital expenditures were $70 million, the majority of which were related to our New York City headquarters, London Studios, retail footprint expansion, and Taiwan manufacturing facilities.


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 1 2 P E L O T O N I N T E R A C T I V E , I N C . Q3 AND FULL FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUSINESS OUTLOOK F Y 2 0 2 1 Q 3 G U I D A N C E • 1.980 million ending Connected Fitness Subscriptions • Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn under 0.75% • $1.10 billion total revenue • Gross profit margin of approximately 35% • $10 million Adjusted EBITDA R E V I S E D F U L L F Y 2 0 2 1 G U I D A N C E • 2.275 million or more ending Connected Fitness Subscriptions • Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn under 0.80% • $4.075 billion or more total revenue • Gross profit margin of approximately 39% • $300 million or more Adjusted EBITDA With many of our markets reaching record level COVID-19 cases and implementing new stay-at-home orders, we continue to see robust demand for our products. As a consequence, we are carrying a substantial number of deliveries into Q3. While we have significantly increased Bike and Bike+ production over the last several months, we remain inventory constrained with longer than acceptable wait times for the delivery of our products. To directly address this situation, we will be incrementally investing over $100 million in air freight and expedited ocean freight over the next six months in order to improve our order-to-delivery windows. While this investment will dampen our near-term profitability, improving our Member experience is our first priority. We expect $1.10 billion of revenue in Q3 and are raising our FY 2021 revenue outlook to $4.075 billion from $3.90 billion prior, driven by continued strong demand for our products and an improving inventory outlook as we progress through the balance of the year. Our revised forecast anticipates slow but steady progress in narrowing our order-to-delivery windows over the remainder of the fiscal year. For Q3, we expect Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn to remain under 0.75% as we typically see strong Connected Fitness Product reactivations and high levels of Member engagement in Q3 driven by New Years resolutions and colder weather. For FY 2021, we expect Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn to remain under 0.80% For Q3, we expect a Gross Margin of 35%, with Connected Fitness Product Gross Margin of 29% and a Subscription Contribution Margin of 64%. For FY 2021, we expect a Gross Margin of 39%, with Connected Fitness Product Gross Margin of 34% and a Subscription Contribution Margin of 65%. The primary driver of Connected Fitness Product year-over-year margin contraction is our $100 million+ of incremental expedited shipping investments to help get our products to our new Members as quickly as possible, as well as the September price reduction of our original Bike. Our guidance also reflects upward ocean freight pricing pressure. For our Subscription segment, we continue to realize year-over-year fixed content cost efficiencies, though these gains continue to be partially offset by higher year-over-year growth in engagement and a higher penetration of Digital Subscriptions which carry a lower gross margin. Though we have resumed some marketing spend, for the full fiscal year we expect to realize significant year-over-year leverage in sales and marketing expenses. Likewise, we expect year-over-year G&A expense as a percent of revenue to decline despite continued significant investments in scaling our organization with people and systems. Importantly, we have been able to significantly advance the hiring of product and software teams to accelerate software and product development and expect R&D to remain flat as a percentage of revenue, year-over-year. Due to the additional shipping costs and incremental G&A and R&D spend, we expect Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $10 million, and we leave our FY 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance unchanged at $300 million or better. These investments are impacting our near term profitability, but we believe strongly that we can and must invest in our Member experience. These investments today will also allow us to resume marketing spend so that we can maintain our leadership in global connected fitness. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the second quarter in the reconciliation tables at the end of this letter.

P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 1 4 C O N N E C T E D F I T N E S S S U B S C R I P T I O N S Our ability to expand the number of Connected Fitness Subscriptions is an indicator of our market penetration and growth. We define a Connected Fitness Subscription as a person, household, or commercial property, such as a hotel or residential building, who has either paid for a subscription to a Connected Fitness Product (a Connected Fitness Subscription with a successful credit card billing or with prepaid subscription credits or waivers) or requested a “pause” to their subscription for up to 3 months. We do not include canceled or unpaid Connected Fitness Subscriptions in the Connected Fitness Subscription count. A V E R A G E N E T M O N T H L Y C O N N E C T E D F I T N E S S C H U R N We use Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn to measure the retention of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions. We define Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn as Connected Fitness Subscription cancellations, net of reactivations, in the quarter, divided by the average number of beginning Connected Fitness Subscriptions in each month, divided by three months. This metric does not include data related to our Digital Subscriptions for Members who pay a monthly fee for access to our content library on their own devices.

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES In addition to the measures presented in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operational and business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES T O T A L W O R K O U T S A N D A V E R A G E M O N T H L Y W O R K O U T S P E R C O N N E C T E D F I T N E S S S U B S C R I P T I O N We review Total Workouts and Average Monthly Workouts per Connected Fitness Subscription to measure engagement, which is the leading indicator of retention for our Connected Fitness Subscriptions. We define Total Workouts as all workouts completed during a given period. We define a Workout as a Connected Fitness Subscription for Members either completing at least 50% of an instructor-led or scenic ride or run, or ten or more minutes of “Just Ride” or “Just Run” mode. We define Average Monthly Workouts per Connected Fitness Subscription as the Total Workouts completed in the quarter divided by the average number of Connected Fitness Subscriptions in each month, divided by three months. N O N - G A A P F I N A N C I A L M E A S U R E S 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 performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Subscription Contribution, and Subscription Contribution Margin should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below.


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 1 6 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use these measures for business planning purposes. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business. We expect Adjusted EBITDA Margin to increase over the long-term as we continue to scale our business and achieve greater leverage in our operating expenses. P E L O T O N I N T E R A C T I V E , I N C . ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: other (income) expense, net; income tax (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; transaction costs; certain litigation expenses, consisting of legal settlements and related fees for specific proceedings that arise outside of the ordinary course of our business; and specific non-recurring costs associated with COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, (dollars in millions) (dollars in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income (loss) $ 63.6 $ (55.4) $ 132.8 $ (105.2) Adjusted to exclude the following: Other (income), net (1.8) (5.7) (3.5) (6.9)  Income tax (benefit) (3.0) (0.4) (1.7)  (0.4)  Depreciation and amortization expense 12.8 10.1 24.2 17.2 Stock-based compensation expense 37.5 17.1 67.1 35.8 Litigation and settlement expenses 4.4 5.8 7.5 9.7  Other adjustment items (1) 3.4 0.1 9.4  0.3 Adjusted EBITDA $ 116.9 $ (28.4) $ 235.8 $ (49.4) Adjusted EBITDA margin 11.0% (6.1)% 12.9% (7.1)% (1) Includes incremental costs associated with COVID-19 of zero and $5.9 million, respectively, and transaction costs of $3.4 million for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million of transaction costs for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.


 
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 1 | 1 7 P E L O T O N I N T E R A C T I V E , I N C . SUBSCRIPTION CONTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION CONTRIBUTION MARGIN We use Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin to measure our ability to scale and leverage the costs of our Connected Fitness Subscriptions. The continued growth of our Connected Fitness Subscription base will allow us to improve our Subscription Contribution Margin. While there are variable costs, including music royalties, associated with our Connected Fitness Subscriptions, a significant portion of our content creation costs are fixed given that we operate with a limited number of production studios and instructors. The fixed nature of those expenses should scale over time as we grow our Connected Fitness Subscription base. 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 because our management uses Subscription Contribution and Subscription Contribution Margin in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. We define Subscription Contribution as subscription revenue less cost of subscription revenue, adjusted to exclude from cost of subscription revenue, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense. Subscription Contribution Margin is calculated by dividing Subscription Contribution by subscription revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Subscription Contribution to subscription gross profit, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, (dollars in millions) (dollars in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Subscription Revenue $ 194.7 $ 77.1 $ 351.2 $ 144.3  Less: Cost of Subscription 77.2 32.4 142.2 61.9 Subscription Gross Profit $ 117.5 $ 44.7 $ 209.0 $ 82.4  Subscription Gross Margin 60.3% 58.0% 59.5% 57.1% Add back: Depreciation and amortization expense $ 4.6 $ 3.8 $ 9.0 $ 7.5 Stock-based compensation expense 5.1 1.2 9.5 2.2 Subscription Contribution $ 127.2 $ 49.7 $ 227.6 $ 92.0 Subscription Contribution Margin 65.3% 64.4% 64.8% 63.8%
