John Paul Foley, co-founder, board chair and CEO of Peloton, commented:
We had a strong start to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 with revenue growth of 103% in our first quarter versus last year. We benefited from continued strong demand for our connected fitness experience, attributable to our effective brand and performance marketing and growing word-of-mouth referrals from our loyal Members. Despite the significant investments we are making to grow internationally, scale operations, and enhance our end-to-end Member experience, we narrowed our Net Loss by $4.8 million to $(49.8) million and improved our Adjusted EBITDA margin of (9.2)% by 283 basis points versus last year.
