- Revenue
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are its recurring content Subscription revenue and revenue from sales of its Connected Fitness Products and related accessories, as well as Precor branded fitness products, delivery and installation services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue is reported net of sales returns and concessions, discounts and allowances, incentives, and rebates to commercial distributors as a reduction of the transaction price. Certain contracts include consideration payable that is accounted for as a payment for distinct goods or services. The Company’s transaction price estimate includes its estimate for product returns and concessions based on the terms and conditions of home trial programs, historical return trends by product category, impact of seasonality, an evaluation of current economic and market conditions, and current business practices, and the Company records the expected customer refund liability as a reduction to revenue, and the expected inventory right to return asset as a reduction of cost of revenue. If actual return costs differ from previous estimates, the amount of the liability and corresponding revenue are adjusted in the period in which such costs occur.
For customer contracts that include multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations if they are distinct. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company generally determines the standalone selling price based on the prices charged to customers.
The Company applies the practical expedient as per ASC 606-10-50-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and does not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations due to their original expected terms being one year or less.
The Company applies the practical expedient as per ASC 340-40-25-4, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers and expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are recorded in Sales and marketing in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Some of the Company’s revenues relate to arrangements for our Bike rental products. The Company’s rental program allows Members to lease certain Bike products with a Peloton Rental Membership for a single monthly cost and a one-time delivery fee, and gives the Member the option to purchase the equipment outright or cancel at any time with no penalty. These lease arrangements include both lease and non-lease components. Consideration is allocated between the lease and non-lease components based on management’s best estimate of the relative standalone selling price of each component. The lease component relates to the customer’s right to use the equipment over the lease term and is accounted for as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease within Connected Fitness Products Revenue and was $11.9 million and $24.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $17.5 million and $26.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The underlying equipment subject to the lease remains within Property and equipment, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciates over the equipment’s useful life. Depreciation expense associated with the underlying equipment is reflected in Connected Fitness Products Cost of revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Non-lease components primarily consist of an All-Access Membership, which is recognized ratably over the subscription term within Subscription Revenue.
Connected Fitness Products include the Company’s portfolio of Connected Fitness Products and related accessories, Precor branded fitness products, delivery and installation services, Bike rental products, extended warranty agreements, branded apparel, and commercial service contracts. The Company recognizes Connected Fitness Products Revenue net of sales returns and concessions, discounts and allowances, and third-party financing program fees, when the product has been delivered to the customer, except for extended warranty revenue that is recognized over the warranty period and service revenue that is recognized over the term of the service contract. The Company generally allows customers to return Peloton branded Connected Fitness Products within thirty days of purchase, as stated in its return policy.
The Company records fees paid to third-party financing partners in connection with its consumer financing program as a reduction of revenue, as it considers such costs to be a customer sales incentive. The Company records payment processing fees for its credit card sales for Connected Fitness Products within Sales and marketing in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The Company’s subscriptions provide access to Peloton content and its library of live and on-demand fitness classes. The Company’s subscriptions are offered on a month-to-month or prepaid basis.
Amounts paid for subscription fees, net of refunds are included within Deferred revenue and customer deposits on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized ratably over the subscription term. The Company records payment processing fees for its monthly subscription charges within Subscription Cost of revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities is not included in revenue and is reflected as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Product Warranty
The Company offers a standard product warranty that its Connected Fitness Products will operate under normal, non-commercial use covering the touchscreen and most original Bike, Bike+, Tread, Tread+, Row, and Guide components. The Company has the obligation, at its option, to either repair or replace the defective product. At the time revenue is recognized, an estimate of future warranty costs is recorded as a component of cost of revenue. Factors that affect the warranty obligation include historical as well as current product failure rates, service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures, and warranty policies and business practices. The Company’s products are manufactured by contract manufacturers and, in certain cases, the Company may have recourse to such contract manufacturers.
Activity related to the Company’s accrual for its estimated future product warranty obligation was as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Six Months Ended December 31, | |||

The Company also offers the option for customers in some markets to purchase an extended warranty and service contract that extends or enhances the technical support, parts, and labor coverage offered as part of the base warranty included with the Connected Fitness Products for additional periods beyond the standard product warranty period.
Extended warranty revenue is recognized ratably over the extended warranty coverage period and is included in Connected Fitness Product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company’s revenue attributable to extended warranty was $5.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively, representing 1% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, and $9.5 million and $19.7 million, respectively, representing 1% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2023.

- Restructuring
In February 2022, the Company announced and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s operational focus to support its multi-year growth, scale the business, and improve costs (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”). The 2022 Restructuring Plan originally included: (i) reducing the Company’s headcount; (ii) closing several assembly and manufacturing plants, including the completion and subsequent sale of the shell facility for the Company’s previously planned Peloton Output Park; (iii) closing and consolidating several distribution facilities; and (iv) shifting to third-party logistics providers in certain locations.
Throughout fiscal year 2023 and 2024, the Company continued to take actions to implement the 2022 Restructuring Plan and announced that it was (i) exiting all owned-manufacturing operations and fully transitioning its North American Field Operations to third-party providers, including a significant reduction in its delivery workforce teams; (ii) eliminating a significant number of roles on the North America Member support team and exiting its real-estate footprints in its Plano and Tempe locations; and (iii) reducing its retail showroom presence.
In April 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new restructuring plan to expand upon its 2022 Restructuring Plan (as expanded, the “2024 Restructuring Plan”, collectively, the “Restructuring Plans”). The Company believes the 2024 Restructuring Plan will position Peloton for sustained, positive free cash flow, while enabling the Company to continue to invest in software, hardware and content innovation, improvements to its Member support experience, and optimizations to marketing efforts to scale the business. The 2024 Restructuring Plan includes: (i) a reduction in global headcount; and (ii) continued closures of the Company’s retail locations. The Company expects the majority of the 2024 Restructuring Plan to be implemented by the end of fiscal 2025.
As a result of these restructuring initiatives, the Company incurred the charges shown in the following table. Asset write-downs and write-offs are included within Impairment expense, and Write-offs of inventory related to restructuring activities are included within Connected Fitness Products Cost of revenue, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The remaining charges incurred during the relevant periods are included within Restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss:

(2) Asset write-downs and write-offs are included within Impairment expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
(3) Write-offs of inventory are included within Connected Fitness Products Cost of revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Due to the actions taken pursuant to the Restructuring Plans, the Company tested certain long-lived assets (asset groups) for recoverability by comparing the carrying values of the asset group to estimates of their future undiscounted cash flows, which were generally the liquidation value, or for operating lease right-of-use assets, income from a sublease arrangement. Based on the results of the recoverability tests, the Company determined that during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the undiscounted cash flows of certain assets (asset groups) were below their carrying values, indicating impairment. The assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined based on their estimated liquidation or sales value, or for operating lease right-of-use assets, discounted cash flows of a sublease arrangement.

- Debt
Convertible Notes due 2029
In May 2024, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private offering, including the exercise in full of the option granted to the initial purchasers to purchase $50.0 million of the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “2029 Notes Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2024. The net proceeds from this offering of 2029 Notes were approximately $342.3 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions of $7.7 million.
Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes is initially convertible into 218.4360 shares of Class A common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.58 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2029 Notes Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change occur or the Company elects to redeem the 2029 Notes, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
The 2029 Notes will mature on December 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2029 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at certain times and upon the occurrence of certain events. A holder may convert its 2029 Notes during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The last reported sale price of the Class A common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price of the 2029 Notes for more than 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2025, the 2029 Notes may be converted at the option of the applicable holder through March 31, 2025.
On or after September 1, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2029 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder.
The Company may satisfy any conversion obligation under the 2029 Notes by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2029 Notes Indenture. If all of the 2029 Notes were to be converted prior to March 31, 2025, the Company’s current intention would be to settle such conversion in shares of the Class A common stock.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion (subject to the partial redemption limitation described in the 2029 Notes Indenture) of the 2029 Notes, at its option, on or after June 7, 2027 and on or before the 20th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (1) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the 2029 Notes periodically.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 2029 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of fundamental change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2029 Notes; equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company (including trade payables and to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof, preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries).
The effective interest rate upon issuance of the 2029 Notes was 5.97%, which is the effective interest rate as of December 31, 2024.

Convertible Notes due 2026
In February 2021, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private offering, including the exercise in full of the option granted to the initial purchasers to purchase $125.0 million of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “2026 Notes Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2026 Notes do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the 2026 Notes does not accrete.
Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes is initially convertible into 4.1800 shares of Class A common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $239.23 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change occur or the Company elects to redeem the 2026 Notes, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
The 2026 Notes will mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2026 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at certain times and upon the occurrence of certain events.
On or after August 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the 2026 Notes Indenture.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion (subject to the partial redemption limitation described in the 2026 Notes Indenture) of the 2026 Notes, at its option, on or before the 20th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (1) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the 2026 Notes periodically.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 2026 Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 2026 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of fundamental change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2026 Notes; equal in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of current or future subsidiaries of the Company (including trade payables and to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof, preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries).
Repurchase of a Portion of the 2026 Convertible Notes
In May 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $801.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for an aggregate of $724.9 million of cash. The Company accounted for this repurchase of the 2026 Notes as a debt extinguishment under ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). The Company recorded a $69.8 million gain on early extinguishment of debt during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, which included the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs of $6.3 million, which was included within Net gain on debt refinancing on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
The effective interest rate upon issuance of the 2026 Notes was 0.45%, which is the effective interest rate as of December 31, 2024.
The net carrying amount of the 2026 Notes was as follows:
| December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|

| Total interest expense related to the 2026 Notes | $0.2 | $1.1 | $0.4 | $2.3 |
Termination of Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “Capped Call Transactions”). In the last quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the Company terminated the Capped Call Transactions in their entirety pursuant to negotiated termination agreements with each such counterparty.
Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain banks and financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing banks.
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which will be due and payable on May 30, 2029. The Term Loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 0.25%, payable at the end of each fiscal quarter and on the maturity date.
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which will mature on May 30, 2029. The Company is only required to meet the total liquidity covenant, set at $250.0 million for the last business day of any week, and the subscription revenues covenant, set at $1.2 billion for the four-quarter trailing period, to the extent any revolving loans are borrowed and outstanding.
The Revolving Facility, when drawn, bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 4.00% per annum or the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% per annum. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on a quarterly basis based on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, provided that the commitment fee is subject to one 0.125% step-down after the delivery of the financial statements and related compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2024 for which the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) is less than 5.00 to 1.00.
The Term Loan initially bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% per annum or the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 6.00% per annum. After the delivery of the financial statements and related compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2024 for which the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) is less than 5.00 to 1.00, the applicable rate for Alternate Base Rate loans or Term SOFR Rate loans will be subject to one 0.50% step-down. Any borrowing at the Alternate Base Rate is subject to a 1.00% floor and the Term SOFR Rate is subject to a 0.00% floor.
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants as well as customary negative covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens or grant negative pledges, make loans and investments, conduct certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain assets, enter into certain swap agreements, guarantee obligations of third parties, declare dividends or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default. Certain baskets and covenant levels have been adjusted and will apply equally to both the Term Loan and Revolving Facility for so long as the Term Loan is outstanding.
The obligations under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with certain exceptions set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and are required to be guaranteed by certain material subsidiaries of the Company if, at the end of future financial quarters, certain conditions are not met.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred total commitment fees of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, which are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had drawn the full amount of the Term Loan and hadnot drawn on the Revolving Facility, and the Company had $995.0 million total outstanding borrowings under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
In connection with the execution of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Term Loan was accounted for as a modification, extinguishment, or new loan for certain lenders in accordance with ASC 470-50. Accordingly, incremental discount and debt issuance costs of $10.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, will be amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the Company expensed $8.7 million of debt issuance costs incurred with third parties related to loss on debt modification and recognized a $7.5 million loss on extinguishment related to previously deferred debt discount and debt issuance costs, which was included within Net gain on debt refinancing on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not drawn any amount under the Revolving Facility and as such did not have to test the financial covenants under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pledge or otherwise restrict a portion of cash and cash equivalents as collateral for standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.9 million, which are classified as Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Upon entering into the Term Loan, the effective interest rate was 12.4% and the current effective interest rate as of December 31, 2024 is 11.4%.
The net carrying amount of the Term Loan was as follows:
| December 31, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |

Commitments to Suppliers
The Company utilizes contract manufacturers to build its products and accessories. These contract manufacturers acquire components and build products based on demand forecast information the Company supplies, which typically covers a rolling 12-month period. Consistent with industry practice, the Company acquires inventories from such manufacturers through purchase orders against which orders are applied based on projected demand information and availability of goods. Such purchase commitments typically cover the Company’s forecasted product and manufacturing requirements for periods that range a number of months. In certain instances, these agreements allow the Company the option to cancel, reschedule, and/or adjust its requirements based on its business needs for a period of time before the order is due to be fulfilled. While the Company’s purchase orders are legally cancellable in many situations, there are some which are not cancellable in the event of a demand plan change or other circumstances, such as where the supplier has procured unique, Peloton-specific designs, and/or specific non-cancellable, non-returnable components based on the Company’s provided forecasts.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s commitments to contract with third-party manufacturers for their inventory on-hand and component purchase commitments related to the manufacture of Peloton products were estimated to be approximately $68.8 million, of which $62.6 million is expected to be paid over the next twelve months, the majority of which is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal year 2025.
Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
The Company is, or may become, a party to legal and regulatory proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the ordinary course of its business, including the matters set forth below. The Company denies the allegations in the active matters described below and intends to vigorously defend against such matters.
Some of the Company’s legal and regulatory proceedings, including matters and litigation that center around intellectual property claims, may be based on complex claims involving substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages. Accordingly, except for proceedings that have settled or been terminated, or except where otherwise indicated below, it is not possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for such matters, and therefore, the Company has not established reserves for any of these proceedings. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability, and, if the liability is material, discloses the amount of the liability reserved.
Unless otherwise disclosed below, while it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, the Company is unable to estimate a range of potential loss due to the complexity and current status of these lawsuits. In these matters, the Company has not established a reserve.
The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, developments in its legal proceedings and other contingencies that could affect the amount of liability, including amounts in excess of any previous accruals and reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments and changes to the Company’s accruals and disclosures as appropriate. For the matters the Company discloses that do not include an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses, such an estimate is not possible or is immaterial.
Given that the Company’s legal and regulatory proceedings are subject to uncertainty, there can be no assurance that such legal and regulatory proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In May 2021, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of its Tread+ product in collaboration with the CPSC. In December 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the CPSC regarding matters related to the Tread+ recall. In the settlement, the Company agreed to pay a $19.1 million civil penalty, resolving the CPSC’s charges that the Company violated the Consumer Product Safety Act (the “CPSA”). On May 18, 2023, the Company and the CPSC jointly announced the approval of a rear guard repair for the recalled Tread+. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security subpoenaed the Company for documents and other information related to the Company’s statutory obligations, including under the CPSA.
On October 26, 2021 and January 24, 2022, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York consolidated four stockholder derivative actions purportedly brought on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s officers and directors under the caption In re Peloton Interactive, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Master File No. 21-cv-02862-CBA-PK (the “EDNY Derivative Action”), which alleged, among other claims, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act related to the Peloton Tread+ and the safety of the product.

Foley, et al., Case No. 22-cv-01618-GBW (the “Blackburn Action”). The EDNY Derivative Action, the Chancery Derivative Action, and the Blackburn Action were all stayed pending the resolution of a related securities class action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “EDNY Class Action”). The court entered a final judgment in the EDNY Class Action on July 9, 2024. The parties in the EDNY Derivative Action, the Chancery Derivative Action, and the Blackburn Action agreed to a settlement-in-principle to resolve those derivative actions on July 29, 2024, and plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of that settlement in the EDNY Derivative Action on November 15, 2024.

- Equity-Based Compensation
2019 Equity Incentive Plan
In August 2019, the Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders in September 2019. The 2019 Plan serves as the successor to the 2015 Stock Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The 2015 Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. Any reserved shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2015 Plan on the effective date of the 2019 Plan became available for grant under the 2019 Plan and will be issued as Class A common stock.
Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, for stock option and restricted stock unit grants, vesting generally occurs overtwo tofour years. Stock option grants are not exercisable after the expiration often years from the date of grant or such shorter period as specified in a stock award agreement. Restricted stock units are generally granted with a service condition only or both a service and performance condition. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units to certain members of management. The performance-based restricted stock units generally cliff vest, if earned, two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year. The number of shares that can be earned generally ranges from 0% to 200% of the target number based on the achievement of the performance condition over the respective measurement period.
The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan will increase automatically on July 1 of each of 2020 through 2029 by the number of shares of Class A common stock equal to 5% of the total outstanding shares of all of the Company’s classes of common stock as of each June 30 immediately preceding the date of increase (the “evergreen feature”), or a lesser amount as determined by the Board of Directors. On July 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan was automatically increased according to its terms by 18,813,085 shares.
In October 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the 2019 Plan (the “Amendment”) that increases the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan by 36,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (and retains the existing evergreen feature through July 1, 2029) and extends the right to grant awards under the 2019 Plan through October 24, 2033. The Amendment became effective following approval by the Company’s stockholders on December 7, 2023. As of December 31, 2024,58,249,054 shares of Class A common stock were available for future award under the 2019 Plan.

Unvested option activity is as follows:
| Options | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested — June 30, 2024 | 6,348,265 | $17.24 |
| Granted | 255,145 | $2.86 |

| Unvested — December 31, 2024 | 1,573,707 | $14.09 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and vested and exercisable, were calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2024. The fair value of the common stock is the closing stock price of Class A common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised options was $4.8 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the weighted-average grant date fair value per option was $2.86, and for the six months ended December 31, 2023 no options were granted. The fair value of each option was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions:
| Six Months Ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2024 | |
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate (1) | 3.7% |
| Weighted average expected term (in years) | 3.3 |
| Weighted average expected volatility (2) | 90.6% |
| Expected dividend yield | — |
(1) Based on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
(2) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of Class A common stock.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In August 2019, the Board of Directors adopted, and in September 2019, the Company's stockholders approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), through which eligible employees may purchase shares of Class A common stock at a discount through accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on September 25, 2019, the date the registration statement, filed in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, was declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”). The number of shares of Class A common stock that are available for issuance and sale to eligible employees under the ESPP will increase automatically on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company beginning on July 1, 2020 through 2029, in an amount equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of all classes of the Company's common stock on the immediately preceding June 30, or such lesser number as may be determined by the Board of Directors or applicable committee in its sole discretion. On July 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the ESPP was automatically increased according to its terms by 3,762,617 shares. As of December 31, 2024,18,632,205 shares of Class A common stock were available for sale to employees under the ESPP.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, each offering period will consist offour six-month purchase periods, commencing on September 1 and March 1 and ending on August 31 and February 28 of eachtwo-year period or eachsix-month period, respectively, subject to a reset provision. If the closing price of Class A common stock on the first day of an offering period is higher than the closing price of Class A common stock on the last day of any applicable purchase period, participants will be withdrawn from the ongoing offering period immediately following the purchase of ESPP shares on the purchase date and would automatically be enrolled in the subsequent offering period (“ESPP reset”), resulting in a modification under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the purchase price for each share of Class A common stock purchased under the ESPP will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value per share on the first trading day of the applicable offering period or the fair market value per share on the last trading day of the applicable purchase period.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions used to calculate the fair value of shares estimated to be purchased at the commencement of the ESPP offering periods were as follows:
| Six Months Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Weighted average risk-free interest rate | 2.8% | 2.0% |
| Weighted average expected term (in years) | 1.3 | 1.3 |
| Weighted average expected volatility | 92.3% | 92.7% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — |
The expected term assumptions were based on each offering period's respective purchase date. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of Class A common stock. The risk-free rate assumptions were based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grants. The dividend yield assumption waszero as the Company has not historically paid any dividends and does not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and $2.0 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
In connection with the offering period that ended on August 31, 2024, employees purchased 375,829 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted-average price of $3.91 under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP was $5.6 million, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.3 years.

During the six months ended December 31, 2024, one employee of the Company who was eligible to participate in the Company’s Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) terminated employment. Certain modifications were made to equity awards, including the extension of the post-termination period during which an employee may exercise outstanding stock options from 90 days toone year (or the option expiration date, if earlier). In the six months ended December 31, 2023, one employee who was eligible to participate in the Company’s Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) terminated employment. Certain modifications were made to equity awards, including the extension of the post-termination period during which an employee may exercise outstanding stock options from 90 days to the earlier of the original expiration date or 3 years. The employee transitioned to a non-executive advisory role and as a result of this modification, the Company recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense of $5.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 within Restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
- Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision from income taxes of $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and a benefit of $(1.7) million and $(1.0) million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Furthermore, the Company's effective tax rates were (0.77)% and (1.75)% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and 0.88% and 0.27% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The income tax provision and the effective tax rate are primarily driven by state and international taxes.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on the majority of its deferred tax assets as it has concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be utilized.
- Net Loss Per Share
The computation of basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Six Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| ($ in millions, except per share amounts) | ||||
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(92.0) | $(194.9) | $(92.8) | $(354.1) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 385,591,039 | 362,334,326 | 382,059,323 | 360,440,945 |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.24) | $(0.54) | $(0.24) | $(0.98) |
Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for each class of common stock because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.
The following potentially dilutive shares were not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding above as the effect would have been anti-dilutive:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Six Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Employee stock options | 6,941,850 | 7,693,440 | 6,468,819 | 8,198,291 |
| Restricted stock units and awards | 25,602,278 | 637,660 | 13,137,055 | 815,567 |

| Convertible senior notes | 77,284,420 | — | 77,284,420 | — |
Capped Calls
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the denominator for basic and diluted loss per share does not include any effect from the Capped Call Transactions the Company entered into concurrently with the issuance of the 2026 Notes as this effect would have been anti-dilutive. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Capped Call Transactions were terminated. Refer to Note 7 - Debt for additional information.
- Segment Information
The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments. The Company hastwo reportable segments: Connected Fitness Products and Subscription. Segment information is presented in the same manner that the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer and President, reviews the operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit for both of the reportable segments. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue incurred by the segment.
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.
The Connected Fitness Products segment derives revenue from sale of the Company's portfolio of Connected Fitness Products and related accessories, as well as Precor branded fitness products, delivery and installation services, Bike rental products, extended warranty agreements, branded apparel, and commercial service contracts. The Subscription segment derives revenue from monthly Subscription fees. There are no internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments.
Key financial performance measures of the segments including Revenue, Cost of revenue, and Gross profit are as follows:
