By GlobalDataDespite the record revenue, the company’s net loss for the financial year was $561.9 million, which includes $136.9 million loss from discontinued operations. Losses from continuing operations were $425 million.
Fubo’s net loss for Q4 stood at $152 million, including $56.1 million losses from discontinued operations and $95.9 million from continuing operations.
For 2023, the streaming platform is forecasting total revenue of between $1.19 billion and $1.23 billion.
David Gandler, Fubo co-founder and chief executive, said: “Fubo’s fourth quarter results represent a strong finish to 2022 and an inflection point for our company supported by two very important milestones: we surpassed $1 billion in total annual revenue and $100 million in ad sales annual revenue for the first time.
“The fourth quarter also marked our lowest level of quarterly cash usage in Fubo’s time as a publicly-traded company and we achieved positive gross profit. Over the course of 2022, we undertook bold measures to position our business for today’s challenging macroeconomic environment.
“We furthermore believe that Fubo’s model will prove to be resilient, profitable, and poised to continue to deliver a truly differentiated consumer experience while providing our media partners with a growing distribution platform.”
