Executive Summary

  • Management reiterated expectations to reach run-rate adjusted EBITDA positive as early as Q4 2024, pointing to CLMBR integration and WOODWAY’s distribution leverage to drive near‑term orders and pilot expansions .
  • The business model pivoted toward B2B; legacy DTC KPIs (households, members, ARR, ARPH, NDR) were discontinued as no longer indicative of performance .

  • “The fourth quarter of 2023 showed continued improvement in expense control…We expect to see a further reduction in adjusted operating expenses in 2024 despite the acquisition of CLMBR…we expect to reach run-rate Adjusted EBITDA positive as early as in the 4th quarter of 2024.” — Trent Ward .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue inflected higher YoY with broader mix (membership and training) and early CLMBR contribution; expect stronger sequential momentum in Q2 as CLMBR is included for the full period .
  • Management reaffirmed a path to run-rate adjusted EBITDA positive by Q4 2024; execution hinges on B2B order flow (CLMBR) and continued cost discipline .
  • Gross margin remains deeply negative, reflecting membership and product cost structure; operating model normalization and scale are required to translate B2B ramp into margin improvement .
  • Financing costs and leverage are material headwinds (Q1 interest expense $2.0M; total liabilities $39.8M); balance sheet initiatives (e.g., prior liabilities-to-equity conversions) are supportive but liquidity remains tight .
  • Strategic narrative shifted firmly to commercial channels; legacy DTC KPIs are no longer reported, aligning disclosure with new revenue drivers .
  • Near-term trading catalyst: confirmation of flagship CLMBR orders and pilot expansions, plus Q2 print with full-quarter CLMBR inclusion; WOODWAY distribution alignment is a key accelerant for B2B sales .
  • Monitor disclosures for quantitative guidance updates (revenue/margins) and any additional balance sheet actions that could reduce interest burden and strengthen liquidity .
