P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 3 Fellow Shareholders – For several months, I have been working closely with our Board of Directors, discussing how best to ensure Peloton is built to last well into the future. Among other actions being taken, together, we have decided that now is the right time to introduce the next phase of leadership at this great company. It is with great pride in what the Peloton team has built, and a recognition for where we need to go, that I will be transitioning from my CEO role and will assume the role of Executive Chair of the Board of Directors. While I will always be Peloton’s most loyal Member and biggest supporter, I couldn’t think of a better CEO for Peloton’s next stage of growth than Barry McCarthy. Barry has served in senior leadership roles at Spotify and Netflix and has been a longtime advisor and board member at public and private technology companies. This collective experience and his proven track record of execution will serve Peloton well, and I’m eager to have the opportunity to partner with him and support him as Executive Chair. In addition, William Lynch is transitioning from his role as President of Peloton to a non-executive director on the Board. He’s been an important member of our team since the early days, and we are grateful for his many contributions in this role. We look forward to continuing to benefit from his expertise on our Board. As we work to unlock the tremendous value inherent in Peloton, there are a number of other important changes we’re announcing today. These changes follow extensive work completed over the last several months to better align our investments and organizational structure with our updated view of the post-COVID demand landscape. Our objective is clear: we are taking steps to best position Peloton for sustainable growth, while also establishing a clear path to consistent profitability. The comprehensive restructuring actions we are announcing today will streamline our teams and reporting structures, increase P&L accountability, create a more efficient and flexible supply chain, and enforce greater investment discipline to ensure our spending meets appropriate return thresholds. As part of this program, we are announcing a meaningful reduction of our workforce, which will impact nearly all of our operations and across almost all levels. It is not easy to say goodbye to valued colleagues and friends, each of whom have made important contributions to helping build Peloton into the company it is today. Decisions like these were not taken lightly, and we will work hard to assist impacted teammates with their transitions.
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 4 When fully implemented, we expect our restructuring initiatives to yield at least $800 million in annual run-rate cost savings across operating expense efficiencies and material improvements in our Connected Fitness gross margin. The COGS savings will primarily come from efficiencies in procurement, manufacturing, and logistics. Operating expense savings will come from a wide range of initiatives, including corporate workforce reductions, marketing spend efficiencies, changes to our real estate strategy, optimized software costs, and more tightly controlled outside services spend. We have also decided to wind down the development of Peloton Output Park. While we still see strategic merit in diversifying our manufacturing footprint and developing capabilities in North America over the long term, we believe Tonic and our third party manufacturing partners can support our growth for the next few years. This has been a humbling time for Peloton, but we remain confident in the fundamentals of our business, the strength of our platform, and the significant growth potential for Connected Fitness and our leadership position within it. The decisions we have made will make us a leaner and more nimble organization that is better able to execute against our sizable growth opportunity. Importantly, our operational restructuring will not negatively impact our instructor roster, number of classes produced, or range of class modalities. As we adjust our operations, our commitment to putting our Members first and to increasing the accessibility of our platform remains unchanged. Consistent with this, we will continue to invest in our business moving forward. Through the integration of hardware, software, and streaming media, we offer Members a motivating, convenient, and cost-effective fitness experience, whether they are life-long fitness enthusiasts or just beginning their fitness journeys. Our high net promoter scores, strong retention rates, and passionate community provide clear evidence of our value proposition and the positive impact we have on millions of Members’ lives each and every day. But, our investments will be made more judiciously and with greater discipline than we have exhibited over the past several quarters. While not directly related to our restructuring, in addition to Barry joining the Board, we also announced the appointment of two new Board members, Angel Mendez and Jonathan Mildenhall. Angel is a proven supply chain leader at the intersection of software, technology, and industrial operations. He currently serves as Executive Chairman of the Board of LevaData Inc., an AI company focused on supply chain management, and previously held executive roles at HERE Technologies and Cisco. Jonathan, who co-founded TwentyFirstCenturyBrand and previously served as CMO
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 5 of Airbnb, is a globally recognized creative leader in marketing and advertising. We also want to thank Erik Blachford, who has served as a director since 2015 and is stepping down from his role on the Board, for his many contributions to Peloton. While this has been a very challenging time for all of us at Peloton, our Members and community have been a source of positive feedback and have reinforced our conviction in the Connected Fitness opportunity – and the role we play in this growing category. Indeed, when I co-founded Peloton we were a five-person fitness group who aimed to bring the community and excitement of boutique fitness into the home. Today, we are over 6.6 million Members strong. As we look to execute on the next phase of our company’s transformation, we are clear-eyed that it will not occur overnight and that our progress may not be linear. However, we are confident the changes we are making will lead to improved and more consistent operating performance. We look forward to reporting on our progress and sharing more details in the coming months. John
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 6 I N T R O D U C I N G P E L O T O N G U I D E We are excited to officially announce the launch of Peloton Guide, our first connected fitness strength product, on April 5. The Peloton App already enables Members to stream great fitness workouts with world-class instructors on any screen in their home, including their TV. Priced at $495, Guide further enhances the full-body workout experience through a number of unique product features: • Body activity features allow Members to see what movements will be in a class, understand correct form, and see which muscles were worked each day to guide the next workout. • Metric-driven accountability through a smart camera with Peloton’s unique Movement Tracker pushes our Members to complete every strength movement in every class. • Form matching, via a picture-in-picture feature lets Members simultaneously see themselves side by side with the instructor. • All-new Peloton Heart Rate Band that comes with the Guide empowers Members to understand exertion levels and track effort. Guide will be supported with dedicated content, including exclusive programs for all levels, live full-body training classes with instructors, and an extensive move library to help Members learn and perfect proper form. Guide represents a compelling value in the strength category and we will continue to add new features and content to continuously improve the value proposition.
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 7 S O F T WA R E In October, we launched Guest Pass, a referral program enabling Members to share extended Peloton App trials with their friends. Available on iOS and web, Guest Pass leverages our growing word of mouth flywheel to bring high-quality incremental users into our ecosystem. The early results are encouraging, with users referred via Guest Pass completing more workouts and converting to paid Digital and Connected Fitness Subscriptions at a higher rate than those acquired by other means. C O N T E N T Music has always been at the heart of the Peloton experience, and our sizable and growing member base makes us a desirable partner for the music industry. During Q2, we announced the newest installment of our Peloton x Beyoncé Artist Series, which featured 22 classes across nine modalities in three languages and our Ivy Park apparel collaboration. We were also thrilled to introduce our first ever Artist Series featuring Taylor Swift, a long-standing top member request, as well as series centered around Queen, Foo Fighters, ABBA, and The Beatles. In total, Members took over 5 million Artist Series classes during the quarter, an over 50% sequential increase from Q1. During the quarter, we launched Boxing, which represented the last leg of a two year fitness modality development plan, totaling 14 fitness modalities. Boxing is an engaging and efficient full body workout that appeals to all fitness levels and has been on our member wishlist for years. Our initial offering is a Boxing Program featuring 3 of our instructors (Kendall Toole, Rad Lopez and Selena Samuela) and based on member response, we have already added to our class strategy (with additional live and recorded classes) and intend to continue expanding the content and instructor offering going forward. We were also delighted to add Logan Aldridge to our team during Q2. Logan is our first adaptive athlete instructor who, in addition to teaching classes, serves in an off-air training specialist role, assisting all our instructors to ensure their content is accessible and inclusive. We remain committed to being the most inclusive fitness brand in the world and will continue to take steps to achieve this goal.
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 8 Q 2 2 0 2 2 S U M M A R Y We ended the quarter with 2.77 million Connected Fitness Subscriptions, representing 66% year-over-year growth. Total revenue grew 6% to $1,133.9 million, driven by higher Subscription revenue and the contribution from Precor, partly offset by a decline in Connected Fitness Product sales against a difficult year- ago comparison. Digital subscriptions grew 38% to 862 thousand, driven by strong gross additions over the past year, including through our initial corporate wellness partnerships. Operating expense grew 93% year-over-year to $706 million, reflecting growth in marketing, as well as investments in systems, capabilities, and research and development. Net loss was $(439.4) million and Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(266.5) million, yielding a (23.5)% Adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to a year-ago margin of 11.0%. Total platform workouts (both Connected Fitness and Digital) grew to over 139 million in the quarter from 113 million in the year-ago quarter.
P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 9 R E V E N U E We generated total revenue of $1,133.9 million, growing 6% year- over-year. Connected Fitness segment revenue, which includes the contribution from Precor, was $796.4 million, representing an 8% year-over-year decline and 70% of total revenue. The decline reflected fewer Connected Fitness unit sales against a very strong year-ago comparison, and the impact of the August 2021 price reduction on our original Bike. Subscription revenue grew to $337.5 million, representing 73% year-over-year growth and 30% of total revenue. Our Connected Fitness subscription base climbed to 2.77 million at the end of Q2, representing year-over-year growth of 66%, reflecting the impact of Connected Fitness Product deliveries and secondary market activations, as well as continued low Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn of 0.79%. As of December 31, 99% of our Connected Fitness Subscribers were on month-to- month payment plans. In Q2, Average Monthly Workouts per Connected Fitness Subscription were 15.5, below the pandemic-aided 21.1 figure last year, but representing 23% growth from engagement levels during Q2 2020. Connected Fitness Subscribers worked out with us 123.2 million times, up from 98.1 million workouts in the same period last year, representing 26% year-over-year growth.

P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 1 0 G R O S S P R O F I T Gross profit in Q2 was $280.2 million and 24.7% of revenue, representing a 34% year-over-year decline. Connected Fitness segment gross profit was $51.0 million in Q2, representing an 83% year-over-year decline. Our Connected Fitness segment gross margin was 6.4%, a 2,892 basis point decline versus last year. Compared to the year-ago period, our Connected Fitness gross profit margin was primarily impacted by the August 2021 Peloton Bike price reduction, higher supply chain and logistics expenses per delivery, increased material and component part costs, and charges associated with the voluntary recalls of Tread+ and Tread. Subscription gross profit was $229.3 million in Q2, representing 95% year-over-year growth. Subscription gross margin was 67.9%, up from 60.3% in the year-ago period. Subscription Contribution was $240.9 million in Q2, representing 89% year- over-year growth. Subscription Contribution Margin was 71.4%, versus 65.3% in the prior year period. The improvement to last year reflected continued fixed cost leverage, as well as favorability in certain variable costs.

Sales and marketing expense was $349.6 million, and grew 97% year-over-year, representing 30.8% of total revenue versus the prior year period of 16.7%. The year-over-year increase reflected a return to typical holiday marketing this year. General and administrative expense was $248.7 million, and grew 76% year-over-year, representing 21.9% of total revenue versus 13.2% in the prior year. Significant investments in teams, systems, and Member support accounted for the increased year-over-year spending. Research and development expense was $100.0 million and grew 110% year-over-year, representing 8.8% of total revenue, versus 4.5% in the year-ago period. The year over year deleverage reflects the onboarding of several acqui-hires and the R&D team from Precor.

P E L O T O N Q 2 : 2 0 2 2 | 1 3 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 2022 BUSINESS OUTLOOK We expect approximately $950 million to $1 billion of revenue in Q3 and $3.7 billion to $3.8 billion for the full year. Our forecast extrapolates traffic trends from the first half of the year into the second and incorporates assumed demand impacts from reduced sales and marketing spend and the implementation of delivery and set-up surcharges on January 31st. For our Connected Fitness segment only, we are presenting margin commentary excluding restructuring charges that are added back in our adjusted EBITDA calculation. We believe this approach will offer more constructive modeling guidance. For Q3, we expect a Gross Margin of approximately 23%, embedding expectations for a Connected Fitness Product Gross Margin of approximately 6% and a Subscription Contribution Margin of approximately 71%. The year-over-year reduction in our Connected Fitness gross margin reflects deleverage from our reduced demand plan and a limited benefit from our pricing changes and warehouse restructuring, which will be more consequential in Q4. We expect our Subscription Contribution Margin will continue to expand year-over- year as we realize efficiencies against fixed content production costs, as well as favorability in certain variable costs. For the full year, we now expect a Gross Margin of approximately 28%, a reduction from our previous forecast of 32%, reflecting the same factors as listed above. This outlook embeds full-year expectations for a Connected Fitness Product Gross Margin of approximately 11% and a Subscription Contribution Margin of approximately 71%. We intend to manage discretionary spend tightly in the back-half of the year, which along with our sales and margin outlook, informs our Q3 Adjusted EBITDA loss estimate of $(140) million to $(125) million. Our revised outlook for full year FY22 EBITDA is a range of $(675) million to $(625) million. We remain comfortable with our balance sheet position and expect to exit the year with approximately $1.2 billion in cash and $500 million of additional revolver capacity. 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 first quarter in the reconciliation tables at the end of this letter.

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.

We define Total Workouts as all workouts completed during a given period. We define a Workout as the completion of at least 50% of an instructor-led class or scenic ride or run, or ten or more minutes of “Just Ride” or “Just Run” mode by a Member associated with a Connected Fitness Subscription. 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 2 | 2 1 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 calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; Income 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 tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; impairment expense; product recall costs; litigation and settlement expenses; transaction and integration costs; reorganization, severance, exit, disposal and other costs associated with restructuring plans; and other adjustment items that arise outside the ordinary course of our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

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.

and Enhancing Capital and Operational Efficiency
Expects to Deliver at Least $800 Million in Annual Run-Rate Cost Savings;
Reduces Planned 2022 CapEx Spending by Approximately $150 Million
Reschedules Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Earnings Conference Call
to Today at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time)
NEW YORK, February 8, 2022 – Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTON) today announced a series of steps it is taking to position the business for long-term growth while establishing a clear path to consistent profitability and sustainable free cash flow. Once these actions are fully implemented, the company expects to achieve at least $800 million of annual run-rate cost savings through operating expense efficiencies and significant margin improvement in its Connected Fitness category. The company will also reduce its planned capital expenditures in 2022 by approximately $150 million. The restructuring program is expected to result in approximately $130 million in cash charges related to severance as well as other exit and restructuring activities and $80 million in non-cash charges. The majority of the charges will be recorded in fiscal year 2022.
“Peloton is at an important juncture, and we are taking decisive steps. Our focus is on building on the already amazing Peloton Member experience, while optimizing our organization to deliver profitable growth,” said John Foley, Co-Founder of Peloton and newly appointed Executive Chair. “With today’s announcements, we are taking action to ensure Peloton capitalizes on the large, long-term Connected Fitness opportunity. This restructuring program is the result of diligent planning to address key areas of the business and realign our operations so that we can execute against our growth opportunity with efficiency and discipline.”
As a result of the initiatives announced today, the company expects to:
•Improve the economics of its hardware business. The company is winding down the development of its Peloton Output Park (POP) manufacturing plan. This will result in $60 million in restructuring capital expenditures, which is included in the company’s revised full year guidance. In addition, Peloton will optimize its logistics network by reducing its owned and operated warehousing and delivery footprint, while scaling third party relationships.
•Right-size the organization by enacting a workforce reduction. The workforce reduction will occur across nearly all business operations to streamline reporting structures and create clearer lines of accountability. This will result in the reduction of approximately 2,800 global positions. Corporate positions will be reduced by approximately 20%. With regard to operations in the field, the company is reducing its owned and operated warehouses and delivery teams and expanding its commercial agreements with third party logistics providers.

Peloton’s roster of instructors and breadth and depth of its content will not be impacted by the initiatives announced today.
Foley added, “These decisions, particularly those related to our impacted Peloton team members, were not taken lightly. We greatly value the contributions of our talented colleagues and are committed to supporting impacted team members in their transitions. We thank our global team members for their focus and dedication through this process.”
