“During the quarter we successfully completed the transition to our expanded BODi platform”, said Carl Daikeler, Beachbody’s co-founder, chairman, and CEO. “While we are still in the early stages of scaling this transformation, our subscribers clearly recognize the unrivaled value BODi offers with renewals and upgrades ahead of our expectations. We are also seeing the intended increase in LTV with higher than expected nutrition retention and healthy nutrition attachment rates. The early indications we have witnessed from the launch of BODi, along with the positive customer response to our Health Esteem platform and nutrition initiatives, give us confidence in our strategy as we progress towards a return to profitable growth by the end of the year.”
