Business OVERVIEW Founded in 1986, Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, "Nautilus" or the "Company") is a global leader in innovative home fitness solutions, headquartered in Vancouver, Washington and incorporated in the State of Washington in January 1993. We became a publicly traded company in May 1999 and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. ® Our company's diverse brand portfolio includes Bowflex , Schwinn , JRNY and Nautilus a broad selection of exercise bikes, cardio equipment, strength training products, as well as the JRNY digital fitness platform. ® ® ® ® Nautilus empowers healthier living through individualized connected fitness experiences. We sell our products through two distinct distribution channels, Direct and Retail, which we consider to be separate business segments. We also derive a portion of our revenue from the licensing of our brands and intellectual property. BUSINESS STRATEGY Nautilus empowers healthier living through individualized connected fitness experiences. We develop and market home fitness equipment and related products to meet the needs of a broad range of consumers. We have diversified our business by expanding our portfolio of high quality fitness equipment into multiple product lines utilizing our well-recognized brand names. We view the continual innovation of our product offerings as a key aspect of our business strategy. We regularly refresh our existing product lines with new technologies and finishes, and focus significant effort and resources on the development or acquisition of innovative new fitness products and technologies for introduction to the marketplace at periodic intervals. Our long-term strategy involves: Enhancing our product lines by designing personalized connected-fitness equipment that meets or exceeds the high expectations of our existing and new customers; • ® • Continuing our investment in innovation, with a particular focus on expanding the reach of our digital platform, JRNY ; • Creatively marketing our equipment, both directly to consumers and through our Retail customers, while leveraging our well-known brand names; • Increasing our international Retail sales and distribution. 1 Table of Contents Our strategies incorporate the individual characteristics of our Direct and Retail businesses. Our Direct business focuses on: (i) the development of, or acquisition of rights to, unique, branded products and technologies; (ii) the application of creative, cost-effective ways to communicate the benefits of their use; and (iii) making various payment options available to our customers. We are particularly attentive to Direct business metrics that provide feedback regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of our media marketing programs and attractiveness of third-party consumer financing programs. In our Retail business, we strive to develop long-term relationships with key retailers of sports or fitness equipment. The primary objectives of our Retail business are (i) to offer a selection of innovative, unique products at key price-points to capture market share; and (ii) to utilize the strength of our brands and long-standing customer relationships to secure more exposure in the stores or websites of our Retail customers. PRODUCTS We market quality cardiovascular and strength fitness products that cover a broad range of price points and features. Our products are designed for home use by individuals with varying exercise needs. From the person who works out occasionally to the serious athlete, we have products that will help them achieve their fitness objectives. • Our Bowflex brand represents a highly-regarded line of fitness equipment. Cardio products include the following connected-fitness equipment: C6 and VeloCore bikes, ® the Max Trainer line, and the new Treadmills. Strength products include SelectTech dumbbells, kettlebells and barbells and the Revolution home gyms. ® ® ® ® ® ® ® • Our Schwinn brand is known for its popular line of exercise bikes, including the connected-fitness IC4 . • Our JRNY digital fitness platform coaches members to achieve their fitness goals by offering curated workout and entertainment options that stream while being coached. The JRNY platform uses machine learning to virtually create an infinite number of personalized workouts that include motivation and praise and is based on an initial fitness assessment that learns and adapts as the member progresses. ® ® • Our Nautilus brand is our corporate umbrella brand and is also used to differentiate certain specialized cardio equipment. ® BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION We conduct our business in two segments, Direct and Retail. Our Direct business offers products directly to consumers primarily through our websites. Our Retail business offers our products through a network of independent companies to reach consumers in the home use markets in the U.S. and internationally. For further information regarding our segments and geographic information, see Note 21, Segment and Enterprise-Wide Information, to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. SALES AND MARKETING Direct In our Direct business, we sell our products directly to consumers via our websites bowflex.com, schwinnfitness.com and nautilus.com. Our marketing efforts are based on an integrated combination of media and direct consumer contact. In addition to television advertising, our marketing mix includes a combination of digital, search, shopping and social media, as well as email and direct mail campaigns. Marketing and media effectiveness is measured continuously based on web traffic, leads generated, cost-per-lead, conversion rates, return on investment and other performance metrics and we strive to optimize the efficiency of our marketing and media expenditures based on this data. Almost all of our Direct customer orders are received either on our websites or through call centers. Retail In our Retail business, we market and sell a comprehensive line of consumer fitness equipment under the Bowflex , Schwinn and Nautilus brands. Our products are marketed through a network of retail companies, via brick and mortar locations and those retailers' websites. Retail partners include, online-only retailers, sporting goods stores, electronics stores, furniture stores, large-format and warehouse stores, smaller specialty retailers and independent bike dealers. ® ® ® 2 Table of Contents We offer programs that provide price discounts to our Retail customers for ordering container-sized shipments or placing orders early enough in the season to allow for more efficient manufacturing by our Asian suppliers. These programs are designed to reduce our shipping and handling costs, with much of the savings being passed on to our customers. In addition, we often offer other types of sales incentives to our Retail customers, including volume discounts and various forms of rebates or allowances, which generally are intended to increase product exposure and availability for consumers, reduce transportation costs, and encourage marketing and promotion of our brands or specific products. PRODUCT DESIGN AND INNOVATION Innovation is a vital part of our business, and we continue to expand and diversify our product offerings by leveraging our research and development capabilities. We constantly search for new technologies and innovations that will help us grow our business, either through higher sales or increased production efficiencies. To accomplish this objective, we seek out ideas and concepts both within our company and from outside inventors. Recently, our investments have been focused on personalized connected-fitness such as voice coaching, simulated outdoor exploration and diverse music play list options with copyright clearance. Our JRNY digital platform uses artificial intelligence and data from an initial assessment and every workout to create, and continually evolve, personalized daily workouts based on the user's fitness goals and capabilities. Our data shows the JRNY system is coaching people to work out longer and getting them to stay with their fitness journey longer. ® ® We rely on financial and engineering models to assist us in assessing the potential operational and economic impacts of adopting new technologies and innovations. If we determine that a third-party technology or innovation concept meets certain technical and financial criteria, we may enter into a licensing arrangement to utilize the technology or, in certain circumstances, purchase the technology for our own use. Our product design and engineering teams also invest considerable effort to improve product design and quality. As a consumer-driven company, we invest in qualitative and quantitative consumer research to help us assess new product concepts, optimal features and anticipated consumer adoption. Our research and development expenses were $15.8 million, $14.3 million and $16.8 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in our research and development expenses in 2020 compared to 2019 was due to increased expenses related to personnel to develop and update our connected-fitness technology. The decrease in our research and development expenses in 2019 compared to 2018 was due to increased capitalized investment for our connected-fitness technology. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in 2021 as we continue to supplement our investment in new product development, technology initiatives, and engineering capabilities. SEASONALITY Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our revenue from fitness equipment products varied seasonally. Sales were typically strongest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the second quarter as we believe that consumers tend to be involved in outdoor activities during the spring and summer months, including outdoor exercise, which impacts sales of indoor fitness equipment this seasonality had a significant effect on our inventory levels, working capital needs and resource utilization. In 2020, due to stay-at-home orders related to COVID-19 pandemic, we did not experience the typical seasonality. MERCHANDISE SOURCING All of our products are produced by third-party manufacturers, and our manufacturing partners are primarily located in Asia. Although multiple factories bid on and are able to produce most of our products, we typically select one factory to be the primary supplier of any given product. Lead times for inventory purchases from our Asian suppliers, from order placement to receipt of goods, generally range from approximately two to three months, of which transit time represents three to four weeks. The length of our lead times requires us to place advance manufacturing orders based on management forecasts of future demand for our products. We attempt to compensate for our long replenishment lead times by maintaining adequate levels of inventory at our warehousing facilities. We monitor our suppliers' ability to meet our product needs and we participate in quality assurance activities to reinforce adherence to our quality standards. Our third-party manufacturing contracts are generally of annual or shorter duration and our manufactured products are sourced on the basis of individual purchase orders. Our manufacturing relationships are non-exclusive, and we are permitted to procure our products from other sources at 3 Table of Contents our discretion. None of our manufacturing contracts include production volume or purchase commitments on the part of either party. Our third-party manufacturers are responsible for the sourcing of raw materials and producing parts and finished products to our specifications. In 2020, we experienced demand that significantly outpaced supply and we made efforts to increase the production capabilities of our Asian suppliers. We have increased capacity on all our modalities with an increased focus on connected fitness bikes, selectorized weights, and our new embedded screen products launched in late 2020 and early 2021. However, we are still experiencing supply constraints as the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic continues to put pressure on our lead times. LOGISTICS Our company-operated warehousing and distribution facilities are located in Oregon and Ohio. In addition to Company-operated distribution centers, we utilize third-party warehouses and logistics providers to fulfill orders. In our Direct business, we strive to maintain inventory levels that will allow us to ship our products shortly after receiving a customer's order. We use common carriers for substantially all of our merchandise shipments to Direct customers. In our Retail business, we manage our inventory levels to accommodate anticipated seasonal changes in demand. Generally, we maintain higher inventory levels at the end of the third and fourth quarters to satisfy relatively higher consumer demand in the fourth and first quarters of each year. Many of our Retail customers place orders well in advance of peak periods of consumer demand to ensure an adequate supply for the anticipated selling season. In 2020, approximately 61% of our Retail customers' orders were shipped by our contract manufacturers in Asia directly to our Retail customers' locations, typically in container loads. The use of such direct shipments allows us to maintain lower levels of inventory in our warehouses, resulting in lower storage, handling, freight, insurance and other costs, with much of the savings being passed on to our customers. We use various commercial truck lines for our merchandise shipments to Retail customers. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced demand that significantly outpaced supply and are still experiencing shipping constraints as the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic continues to put pressure on shipping container availability in Asia, global ship route availability, and overall shipping transit time. COMPETITION The markets for all of our products are highly competitive. We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our business are quality, brand recognition, innovation and pricing. We believe we are well positioned to compete in markets in which we can take advantage of our strong brand names and that our focus on innovative product design, quality, and performance distinguishes our products from the competition. Our products compete directly with those offered by a large number of companies that market consumer fitness equipment and fitness programs. As more retailers adopt eCommerce, our competitors have become increasingly similar across our Direct and Retail segments. Our principal competitors include: Peloton, ICON Health & Fitness (NordicTrack), Johnson Health Tech, Technogym, Echelon, Mirror, Hydrow, Tonal, JaxJox and Tempo. We also compete with marketers of mobile device applications focused on fitness training and coaching on both iOS and Android™ platforms, such as Peloton, Zwift, Strava, Mirror, BeachBody, Apple Fitness+, NeoU, Equinox+, FitScope, FitOn, Fulgaz Video Cycling, Sufferfest Training Systems, At Home Workouts by Daily Burn, and NIKE Training Club. Additional marketers of competitive products include the following: activity trackers and content-driven physical activity products, such as Fitbit , Garmin vivofit , Whoop, and Oura; group fitness, such as cross-fit classes; and gym memberships, each of which offers alternative solutions for a fit and healthy lifestyle. ® ® ® ® EMPLOYEES As of February 22, 2021, we had 412 employees, 410 of whom were full-time. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced a material interruption of our operations due to labor disputes. 4 Table of Contents At Nautilus, we promote overall alignment of our mission, values and strategy to create a company culture that attracts talent and provides retention, employee engagement and wellness while ensuring equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion, and workforce compensation, and equity at the company for its employees. Company culture We promote our company culture and have initiatives to provide alignment with our company's mission, values and strategy by conducting employee town halls, communicating strategy and encouraging feedback on a regular basis, and emphasizing the importance of each employees’ role in our success. We recognize the importance of wellness and fitness through company events and activities as well as encouraging holistic and healthy behaviors across numerous areas. Employee engagement and wellness We measure and analyze employee engagement. We conduct surveys on at least an annual basis, analyze the results, provide feedback to employees of those results, and where appropriate develop initiatives around issues raised by employees. Nautilus also supports learning and development initiatives, implementation of health and safety measures and other employee wellness programs. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we transitioned our workforce to remote work environment and at our distribution centers added safety measures and protocols were added to enhance the wellness of our employees. We encourage to live a healthy life style by having a free on-site fitness center, discounts, employee driven wellness program and the opportunity to participate in many company sponsored fitness and community events throughout the year. Talent acquisition and retention We monitor our overall workforce composition and talent needs and competitive trends affecting talent acquisition to meet our talent needs We leverage and design programs to identify, foster, and retain our top talent throughout the organization. We provide employees compensation that is both competitive and consistent with the employees’ positions, experience, skill levels and knowledge, and market trends. We also retain national outside compensation and benefits consulting firms that evaluate the effectiveness of our benefit programs and benchmarking to our peers and industry while designing compensation programs to be in alignment with shareholder interests, employee retention, and linking compensation with corporate strategic goals. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Trademarks, patents and other forms of intellectual property are vital to the success of our business and are an essential factor in maintaining our competitive position in the health and fitness industry. We regularly monitor commercial activity in our industry to identify potential infringement of our intellectual property. We protect our proprietary rights and attempt to take prompt, reasonable actions to prevent counterfeit products and other infringement on our intellectual property. ® Trademarks ® We own many trademarks, including Nautilus , Bowflex , Max Trainer , TreadClimber , Power Rod , Bowflex Revolution , SelectTech , Airdyne , Max Total , Explore the World , VeloCore and JRNY . Nautilus is the exclusive licensee under the Schwinn mark for indoor fitness products. We believe that having distinctive trademarks that are readily identifiable by consumers is an important factor in creating a market for our products, maintaining a strong company identity and developing brand loyalty among our customers. In addition, we have granted licenses to a third party to use the Nautilus , Schwinn and TreadClimber trademarks on commercial fitness products, for which we receive royalty income and expanded consumer awareness of our brands. ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® Each federally registered trademark is renewable indefinitely if the trademark is still in use at the time of renewal. Patents and Designs Building our intellectual property portfolio is an important factor in maintaining our competitive position in the health and fitness equipment industry. We have followed a policy of filing applications for U.S. and non-U.S. patents on utility and design inventions that we deem valuable to our business. We own or license patents and design registrations covering a variety of technologies, some of which are utilized in our selectorized dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, treadmills, exercise bikes, and elliptical machines. Patent and design protection for these technologies, which are utilized in products sold in both the Direct and Retail segments, extends as far as 2045. 5 Table of Contents We maintain a portfolio of patents related to our TreadClimber specialized cardio machines, which are sold primarily in our Direct segment. The portfolio includes patents with expiration dates ranging from 2021 to 2027. ® We maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to our Max Trainer specialized cardio machines, which are sold in our Direct and Retail segments. The portfolio includes issued patents with expiration dates ranging from 2024 to 2037, and additional pending patent applications. ® We maintain a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to our JRNY digital fitness platform. The portfolio includes issued patents with expiration dates ranging from 2032 to 2038, and additional pending patent applications. ® Nautilus is the licensee of patents related to the Bowflex Revolution home gyms and patents related to the VeloCore bike. The home gym patents have expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2025, and the bike patents have expiration dates in 2027. ® ® BACKLOG We define our customer order backlog to include firm orders for future shipment to our Retail customers, as well as unfulfilled consumer orders within the Direct segment. Backlog as of a given date fluctuates based on specific timing of product shipment within the typical shipment timeframes for each of our segments. Due to the severe shortage of shipping containers, some factory fulfilled orders, representing over $16 million in revenue, did not ship in late December. Container shortages, worsening global logistics disruptions, and continued factory capacity constraints resulted in $91.5 million in backlog as of December 31, 2020. Our customer order backlog as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $5.8 million. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS In 2020, 2019 and 2018, Amazon.com and Dick's Sporting Goods accounted for more than 10% of total net sales as follows: Amazon.com Dick's Sporting Goods ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS 2020 2019 2018 17.1 % 10.2 % 15.2 % 11.7 % 11.5 % 13.8 % Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations both domestically and abroad. In the U.S., federal, state and local regulations impose standards on our workplace and our relationship with the environment. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other federal agencies have the authority to promulgate regulations that may impact our operations. In particular, we are subject to legislation placing restrictions on our generation, emission, treatment, storage and disposal of materials, substances and wastes. Such legislation includes: the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; the Safe Drinking Water Act; and the Comprehensive Environmental Response and the Compensation and Liability Act (also known as Superfund). We are also subject to the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, in addition to regulations concerning employee health and safety matters. Our operations and certain disposed components of our former Commercial business expose us to claims related to environmental matters. Although compliance with federal, state, local and international environmental legislation has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows in the past, there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such environmental matters in the future. Our digital platforms may receive, process, transmit and store personal health and fitness information relating to identifiable individuals. Consumer demand for personalized fitness experiences, through mobile applications or wearable fitness trackers and our focus on digital fitness solutions for our products may increase the volume of identifiable individual information we receive on our platforms and through our products. We also receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals in our capacity as an employer. As a result, we may 6 Table of Contents be subject to numerous United States (both federal and state) and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations designed to protect both individually identifiable information as well as personal health information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), each of which governs, among other things, the privacy, security and electronic transmission of individually identifiable health information. The GDPR includes, and a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies elsewhere in the world have adopted, consumer notification requirements in the event of unauthorized access to or acquisition of certain types of personal data. These breach notification laws continue to evolve and include jurisdiction-specific obligations. We believe that we comply with such laws and regulations in all material respects and our controls in place are adequate for our continued compliance.

Risk Factors Nautilus operates in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that presently are not considered material or are not known to us, and therefore are not mentioned herein, may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, operating results and financial position could be adversely affected. Strategic and Operational Risks Our business is typically affected by seasonality which results in fluctuations in our operating results. We typically experience fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. In years prior to 2020, sales were typically strongest in the fourth quarter and are generally weakest in the second quarter. The stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic largely nullified the seasonality we typically experience. The mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for particular types of fitness equipment. In addition, our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Accordingly, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly from period to period. The loss of one or more of our large Retail customers could negatively impact our revenue and operating results. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small number of Retail customers. A Retail customer or any of our retail partners may in the future experience difficulties in their businesses that could prompt store closures or reorganizations. A loss of business from one or more of these large customers, if not replaced with new business, could negatively affect our operating results and cash flows. Our inventory purchases are subject to long lead times, which could negatively impact our revenue, cash flows and liquidity. All of our products are produced by third-party manufacturers, substantially all of which are located in Asia, primarily China. Lead times for inventory purchases from our Asian suppliers, from order placement to receipt of goods, generally range from approximately two to three months, of which transit time represents three to four weeks. The length of our lead times requires us to place advance manufacturing orders based on management forecasts of future demand for our products. Due to the length of our lead times, our revenue and cash flows may be negatively impacted if we do not have sufficient inventory on hand to meet customer demand for such items. In addition, our liquidity and cash flows may be negatively affected, and inventory obsolescence may increase, if the quantity of products we order exceeds customer demand for such items. If our contract manufacturers experience any delay, disruption or quality control problems in their operations, we could lose revenues, and our reputation and market share may be harmed Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us to the following risks over which we may have limited control: Interruptions in shipments if our contract manufacturer is unable to complete production; Inability to completely control the quality of finished products; Inability to completely control delivery schedules; • Unexpected increases in manufacturing and repair costs; • • • • Changes in our contract manufacturer's business models or operations; • • Potential increases in our negotiated product costs as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates; Impact of the global market and economic conditions on the financial stability of our contract manufacturers and their ability to operate without requesting earlier payment terms or letters of credit; Potential lack of adequate capacity to manufacture all or a part of the products we require; and Potential unauthorized reproduction or counterfeiting of our products. • • Substantially all of our contract manufacturers are located in Asia, primarily China, and may be subject to disruption by natural disasters, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, as well as political, social or economic instability. The temporary or permanent loss of the services of any of our primary contract manufacturers could cause a significant disruption in our product supply chain and operations and delays in product shipments. For 8 Table of Contents example, the recent spread of the COVID-19 and related quarantines and work and travel restrictions in China has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, production for certain of our products, and the extent to which these events will affect our results of operations and financial position remains uncertain. Such uncertainties, and disruptions caused by other public health crises, natural disasters and instability, could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis, reduce demand for our products or force us to incur remediation costs, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our third-party manufacturing contracts are generally of annual or shorter duration and some manufactured products are sourced on the basis of individual purchase orders. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current relationships with these parties or, if necessary, establish future arrangements with other third-party manufacturers on commercially reasonable terms. Further, while we maintain an active quality control, factory inspection and qualification program, we cannot assure that their manufacturing and quality control processes will be maintained at a level sufficient to meet our inventory needs or prevent the inadvertent sale of substandard products. While we believe that products manufactured by our current third-party manufacturers could generally be procured from alternative sources, temporary or permanent loss of services from a significant manufacturer could cause disruption in our supply chain and operations. Our operating results could be adversely affected if we are unable to accurately forecast consumer demand for our products and services and adequately manage our inventory. To ensure adequate inventory supply, we must forecast inventory needs and expenses and place orders sufficiently in advance with our suppliers and contract manufacturers, based on our estimates of future demand for particular products and services. Failure to accurately forecast our needs may result in manufacturing delays or increased costs. Our ability to accurately forecast demand could be affected by many factors, including changes in consumer demand for our products and services, changes in demand for the products and services of our competitors, unanticipated changes in general market conditions, and the weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in future economic conditions, such as those caused by the current COVID-19 outbreak. This risk will be exacerbated by the fact that we may not carry a significant amount of inventory and may not be able to satisfy short-term demand increases. For example, we have experienced an unexpected increase in demand for our connected fitness products as a result of government shelter-in-place orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in inventory shortages and delayed delivery timelines. If we fail to accurately forecast consumer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of products available for sale. Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which would cause our gross margins to suffer and could impair the strength and premium nature of our brand. Further, lower than forecasted demand could also result in excess manufacturing capacity or reduced manufacturing efficiencies, which could result in lower margins. Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand, our suppliers and manufacturers may not be able to deliver products to meet our requirements or we may be subject to higher costs in order to secure the necessary production capacity. An inability to meet consumer demand and delays in the delivery of our products to our customers could result in reputational harm and damaged customer relationships and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. We are subject to warranty claims for our products, which could result in unexpected expense. Many of our products carry warranties for defects in quality and workmanship. We may experience significant expense as the result of product quality issues, product recalls or product liability claims which may have a material adverse effect on our business. We maintain a warranty reserve for estimated future warranty claims. However, the actual costs of servicing future warranty claims may exceed the reserve and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Portions of our operating expenses and costs of goods sold are relatively fixed, and we may have limited ability to reduce expenses sufficiently in response to any revenue shortfalls. Many of our operating expenses are relatively fixed. We may not be able to adjust our operating expenses or other costs sufficiently to adequately respond to any revenue shortfalls. If we are unable to reduce operating expenses or other costs quickly in response to any declines in revenue, it would negatively impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. 9 Table of Contents If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences or to effectively develop, market and sell future products, our future revenues and operating results could be adversely affected. Our future success depends on our ability to effectively develop, market and sell new products that respond to new and evolving consumer preferences. Accordingly, our revenues and operating results may be adversely affected if we are unable to develop or acquire rights to new products that satisfy consumer preferences. In addition, any new products that we market may not generate sufficient revenues to recoup their acquisition, development, production, marketing, selling and other costs. We may be unable to adapt to significant changes in media consumption habits and media coverage of current events may compete for consumer attention, which could diminish the effectiveness or efficiency of our advertising. New technologies and services, such as streaming services and social media have changed traditional patterns of media coverage and consumption. Additionally, consumer attention is increasingly fragmented across a variety of traditional and digital media the balance of which may shift at any time in response to media coverage of current events and the advancement of new technologies. We believe that consumer attention to media coverage of major events, such as the Olympics and the U.S. presidential election, have, in the past, impacted the effectiveness of our media advertising. Future events that draw significant media coverage may similarly impact our ability to engage consumers with our media advertising. If we are unable to successfully adapt our media strategies to new television viewing and media consumption habits, or if consumer attention is focused on other events, the effectiveness and efficiency of our media placements could be adversely affected, and our operating results may be negatively impacted. Substantially higher advertising rates or a significant decline in availability of media time may hinder our ability to effectively market our products and may reduce profitability. We depend media advertising to market certain products sold directly to consumers. Consequently, an increase in the price we must pay for our preferred medium, or a reduction in its availability, may adversely impact our financial performance. Health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, have had, and could in the future have, an adverse impact on our operations, supply chains and distribution systems Our business and operations has been and may continue to be affected by health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the markets and communities in which we and our partners, advertisers, and customers operate. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant worldwide operational and economic volatility, uncertainty and disruption, and the extent to which COVID-19 will adversely impact our business is highly uncertain, rapidly changing, and cannot be accurately predicted. A continued slowdown or downturn in the economy may have a negative impact on many of our customers. Public health officials worldwide have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including prohibitions on congregating in heavily populated areas and shelter-in-place orders or similar measures. As a result, we have temporarily closed our offices and retailers have permanently closed some locations and curtailed occupancy of remaining locations. Some retail partners have increased their online presence or allowed for buy online, pick up in store. Our financial results could be adversely impacted by these retail store closures and other actions taken to contain or treat the impact of COVID-19, and the extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our revenue growth may slow or our revenue may decline from a reduced demand for our products or services from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our operations, supply chains and distribution systems. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, unpredictable supply and demand for certain of our products and services. As a result of COVID-19, we have been unable to satisfy certain customer orders for our products. As a result, our customers have experienced delays in receiving our products due to difficulties in sourcing logistics from Asia during the pandemic and the resulting higher costs associated with securing shipping slots from Asia. There is uncertainty around the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as general economic uncertainty and 10 Table of Contents macroeconomic conditions, and, as a result, the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, potentially reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. While the spread of COVID-19 may eventually be contained or mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could seriously harm our business. Our business is subject to the risk of earthquakes, fire, power outages, floods, public health crises, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by man-made problems such as terrorism. Our business is vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, fires, floods, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, human errors, break- ins, public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar events. The third-party systems and operations and contract manufacturers we rely on are subject to similar risks. Our insurance policies may not cover losses from these events or may provide insufficient compensation that does not cover our total losses. For example, a significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire, or flood, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results, and our insurance coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for losses that may occur. Acts of terrorism, which may be targeted at metropolitan areas that have higher population density than rural areas, could also cause disruptions in our or our suppliers’ and contract manufacturers’ businesses or the economy as a whole. We may not have sufficient protection or recovery plans in some circumstances, such as natural disasters affecting locations that store significant inventory of our products, that house our servers, or from which we generate content. As we rely heavily on our computer and communications systems, and the internet to conduct our business and provide high-quality customer service, these disruptions could negatively impact our ability to run our business and either directly or indirectly disrupt suppliers’ and our contract manufacturers’ businesses, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Disruption to our information and communication systems could result in interruptions to our business and potential implementation of new systems for critical business functions may heighten the risk of disruption. Our business is reliant on information and communication technology, and a substantial portion of our revenues are generated with the support of information and communication systems. The success of our Direct business is heavily dependent on our ability to respond to customer sales inquiries and process sales transactions using our call center communication systems, websites and similar data monitoring and communication systems provided and supported by third-parties. If such systems were to fail, or experience significant or lengthy interruptions in availability or service, our revenues could be materially affected. We also rely on information systems in all stages of our product cycle, from design to distribution, and we use such systems as a method of communication between employees, suppliers and customers. In addition, we use information systems to maintain our accounting records, assist in trade receivables collection and customer service efforts, and forecast operating results and cash flows. System failures or service interruptions may occur as the result of a number of factors, including: computer viruses; hacking or other unlawful activities by third parties; disasters; equipment, hardware or software failures; ineffective design or implementation of new systems or systems upgrades; cable outages, extended power failures, or our inability or failure to properly protect, repair or maintain our communication and information systems. To mitigate the risk of business interruption, we have in place a disaster recovery program that targets our most critical operational systems. If our disaster recovery system is ineffective, in whole or in part, or efforts conducted by us or third-parties to prevent or respond to system interruptions in a timely manner are ineffective, our ability to conduct operations would be significantly affected. If we do not consider the potential impact of critical decisions related to systems or process design and implementation, this could lead to operational challenges and increased costs. Any of the aforementioned factors could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows. System security risks, data protection breaches and cyber-attacks could disrupt our operations. We manage and store various proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our business, including sensitive and personally identifiable information. Breaches of our security measures or the accidental loss, 11 Table of Contents inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us, or our customers, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data as a result of fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, could expose us, our customers or the individuals affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures could be significant. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Computer programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our systems. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the system. The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our revenue, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions. Our products and services may be affected from time to time by design and manufacturing defects that could adversely affect our business and result in harm to our reputation. We offer complex hardware and software products and services that can be affected by design and manufacturing defects. Sophisticated operating system software and applications, such as those offered by us, often have issues that can unexpectedly interfere with the intended operation of hardware or software products. Defects may also exist in components and products that we source from third parties. Any such defects could make our products and services unsafe, create a risk of environmental or property damage and personal injury, and subject us to the hazards and uncertainties of product liability claims and related litigation. In addition, from time to time we may experience outages, service slowdowns, or errors that affect our fitness and wellness programming. As a result, our services may not perform as anticipated and may not meet customer expectations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix all issues and defects in the hardware, software, and services we offer. Failure to do so could result in widespread technical and performance issues affecting our products and services and could lead to claims against us. We maintain general liability insurance; however, design and manufacturing defects, and claims related thereto, may subject us to judgments or settlements that result in damages materially in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. In addition, we may be exposed to recalls, product replacements or modifications, write-offs of inventory, property and equipment, or intangible assets, and significant warranty and other expenses such as litigation costs and regulatory fines. If we cannot successfully defend any large claim, maintain our general liability insurance on acceptable terms, or maintain adequate coverage against potential claims, our financial results could be adversely impacted. Further, quality problems could adversely affect the experience for users of our products and services, and result in harm to our reputation, loss of competitive advantage, poor market acceptance, reduced demand for our products and services, delay in new product and service introductions, and lost revenue. Our results of operations and ability to grow could be materially negatively affected if it cannot successfully keep pace with technological changes impacting the development and implementation of its products, services and business needs. Our success depends on the ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes affecting both the development and implementation of products, services and business needs. Technological advances such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation are impacting industries and business operations. In addition, we rely on a variety of technologies, including those that support order management, billing, and consumer analytics. If we do not sufficiently invest in new technology and industry developments, appropriately implement new technologies, or evolve its business at sufficient speed and scale in response to such developments, or if it does not make the right strategic investments to respond to these developments, our services, results of operations, and ability to develop and maintain its business could be negatively affected. Future impairments of intangible assets could negatively impact our operating results. As of December 31, 2020, we had other intangible assets of $9.4 million. Any future impairment charges, if significant, could materially and adversely affect our operating results. An unexpected decline in revenue, changes 12 Table of Contents in market conditions, changes in competitive products or technologies or a change in management's intentions regarding utilization of intangible assets could lead to future impairment charges. Economic and External Market Risks We operate in a highly competitive market and we may be unable to compete successfully against existing and future competitors. The markets for our products and services are characterized by intense competition, new industry standards, evolving distribution models, limited barriers to entry, disruptive technology developments, short product life cycles, customer price sensitivity and frequent product introduction. Our products and services face significant competition in every aspect of our business, including at-home fitness equipment and digital platforms, fitness clubs, in-studio fitness classes, and health and wellness apps. Further, we expect the competition in our market to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new or enhanced products and services that compete with ours. Our competitors may develop, or have already developed, products, features, content, services, or technologies that are similar to ours or that achieve greater acceptance, may undertake more successful product development efforts, create more compelling employment opportunities, or marketing campaigns, or may adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Our competitors may develop or acquire, or have already developed or acquired, intellectual property rights that significantly limit or prevent our ability to compete effectively in the public marketplace. In addition, some competitors may have greater resources, or lack a short-term profitability motive, allowing them to identify and capitalize more efficiently upon opportunities in new markets and consumer preferences and trends, quickly transition and adapt their products and services, devote greater resources to marketing and advertising, or be better positioned to withstand substantial price competition. If we are not able to compete effectively against our competitors, they may acquire and engage customers or generate revenue at the expense of our efforts, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Decline in consumer spending would likely negatively affect our product revenues and earnings. Success of each of our products depends substantially on the amount of discretionary funds available to our customers. Global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme disruptions in the recent past, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that similar disruptions will not occur in the future. Deterioration in general economic conditions may depress consumer spending, especially spending for discretionary consumer products such as ours. Poor economic conditions could, in turn, lead to substantial decreases in our net sales or have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows. Our revenues could decline due to changes in credit markets and decisions made by credit providers. Historically, a significant portion of our Direct sales have been financed for our customers under various programs offered by third-party consumer credit financing sources. Reductions in consumer lending and the availability of consumer credit could limit the number of customers with the financial means to purchase our products. Higher interest rates could increase monthly payments for consumer products financed through one of our financing partners or through other sources of consumer financing. In the past, we have partnered with financial service companies to assist our customers in obtaining financing to purchase our products. Our present agreements with our third-party consumer credit financing providers enable certain customers to obtain financing if they qualify for the provider's private label revolving credit card. We cannot be assured that our third-party financing providers will continue to provide consumers with access to credit or that credit limits under such arrangements will not be reduced. Such restrictions or reductions in the availability of consumer credit could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could result in higher costs, reduced margins or decreased international sales. Substantially all of our products are manufactured outside of the U.S. and, therefore, currency exchange rate fluctuations could result in higher costs for our products, or could disrupt the business of independent manufacturers that produce our products, by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and more difficult to finance. Our future financial results could be significantly affected by the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the foreign 13 Table of Contents currencies in which we, our customers or our suppliers conduct business. Past fluctuations in currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar have caused our costs for certain products to increase, reducing our margins and cash flows. Similar fluctuations and cost increases may occur in the future. If we are unable to increase our selling prices to offset such cost increases, or if such increases have a negative impact on sales of our products, our revenues and margins would be reduced and our operating results and cash flows would be negatively impacted. In addition, a portion of our revenue is derived from sales outside the U.S., primarily in Canada and Europe. Currency rate fluctuations could make our products more expensive for foreign consumers and reduce our revenue, which would negatively affect our operating results and cash flows. Legal and Regulatory Risks We are subject to laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions relating to individually identifiable information and personal health information, and failure to comply with those laws, whether or not inadvertent, could subject us to legal actions and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our digital platforms may receive, process, transmit and store personal health and fitness information relating to identifiable individuals. Consumer demand for personalized fitness experiences, through mobile applications or wearable fitness trackers, and our strategy to focus on digital fitness solutions for our products may increase the volume of identifiable individual information we receive on our platforms and through our products. We also receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals in our capacity as an employer. As a result, we may be subject to United States (both federal and state) and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations designed to protect both individually identifiable information and personal health information, including HIPAA and its regulations, and the GDPR, which became effective in May 2018. The GDPR includes, and a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies elsewhere in the world have adopted, consumer notification requirements in the event of unauthorized access to or acquisition of certain types of personal data. These breach notification laws continue to evolve and include jurisdiction-specific obligations. Complying with these obligations could cause us to incur substantial costs and could increase negative publicity surrounding any incident that compromises personal data. These and other related laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted at any time. Changes to existing laws, introduction of new laws in this area or failure to comply with existing laws that are applicable to us may subject us to, among other things, additional costs or changes to our business practices, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, restrictions on our ability to obtain and process information and allegations by our customers and consumers that we have not performed our contractual obligations, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may face competition from providers of comparable products in categories where our patent protection is limited or reduced due to patent expiration. Increased competition in those product categories could negatively affect our future revenues and operating results. Sales of cardio products represent a substantial portion of our Direct segment revenues. Introduction by competitors of comparable products, a maturing product lifecycle or other factors could result in a continued decline in our revenues derived from this product line. A significant decline in our revenue from this product line, without offsetting sales gains, would have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows. Trademark infringement, patent infringement or other intellectual property claims relating to our products could increase our costs. Our industry is susceptible to litigation regarding trademark and patent infringement and other intellectual property rights. We could become a plaintiff or defendant in litigation involving trademark or patent infringement claims or claims for breach of a license agreement. The prosecution or defense of intellectual property litigation is both costly and disruptive of the time and resources of our management, regardless of the claim's merit. We could also be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs to resolve intellectual property litigation or related matters. We may not be able to successfully acquire intellectual property rights, protect existing rights, or potentially prevent others from claiming that we have violated their proprietary rights. We could incur substantial costs in defending 14 Table of Contents against such claims even if they are without basis, and we could become subject to judgments or settlements requiring us to pay substantial damages, royalties or other charges. We are subject to periodic litigation, product liability risk and other regulatory proceedings, which could result in unexpected expense of time and resources. From time to time, we may be a defendant in lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to our business or the former operations of our discontinued Commercial business segment. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any significant litigation in the future, regardless of its merits, could divert management's attention from our operations and may result in substantial legal costs. Our business is exposed to potential false advertising and other related claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition and performance. The global nature of our business involves a risk of exposure under U.S. (both federal and state) and foreign laws and regulations related to false advertising. A false advertising claim or related judgment against us could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures, affect consumer or customer confidence in our products and services, and divert management’s time and attention from other responsibilities. Although we maintain product and general liability insurance, there can be no assurance that the type or level of coverage we have is adequate (or will apply to the claim at hand) or that we will be able to continue to maintain our existing insurance or obtain comparable insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all. A false advertising or other judgment against us and related negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition. We may in the future be subject to claims and lawsuits alleging that our products fail to provide accurate measurements and data to our users. Some components of our digital platform are used to track and display various information about users’ activities, such as calories burned, distance traveled and floors climbed. We anticipate new features and functionality in the future, as well. We believe that we have done, and will continue to do, everything we can to ensure accuracy of measurements in our digital system, but as with all such systems, there is always the risk that there may be an unintentional software design issue that results in measurements being inaccurately reported. We may receive reports made against us alleging that our products do not provide accurate measurements and data to users, including claims asserting that certain features of our products do not operate as advertised. Such reports and claims may result in negative publicity, and may require us to expend time and resources to defend litigation. If our products fail to provide accurate measurements and data to users, or if there are reports or claims of inaccurate measurements, claims of false advertisement, or claims of inaccuracy regarding the overall health benefits of our products and services in the future, we may become the subject of negative publicity, litigation, including class action litigation, regulatory proceedings, and warranty claims, and our brand, operating results, and business could be harmed. Government regulatory actions could disrupt our marketing efforts and product sales. Various international and U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, regulate our product and marketing efforts. Our revenue and profitability could be significantly harmed if any of these authorities commence a regulatory enforcement action that interrupts our marketing efforts, results in a product recall or negative publicity, or requires changes in product design or marketing materials. Changes in international trade policy could adversely affect our business and results of operations. All of our products are produced by third-party manufacturers, substantially all of which are located in Asia, primarily in China. Additionally, we make significant sales to customers worldwide, and in particular to customers in Canada. Most of our imported products are subject to duties or tariffs that affect the cost and quantity of various types of goods imported into the U.S. or our other markets. The prior U.S. presidential administration sought changes to, or the withdrawal of the United States from various international treaties and trade arrangements. Our operating results have been negatively impacted by tariffs imposed by the prior U.S. presidential administration. Uncertainty regarding future policies affecting global trade may make it difficult for our management to accurately forecast our 15 Table of Contents business, and increases in the duties, tariffs and other charges imposed on our products by the United States or other countries in which on our products are manufactured or sold, or other restraints on international trade, could negatively affect our business and the results of our operations. A delay in getting non-U.S.-sourced products through port operations and customs in a timely manner could result in reduced sales, canceled sales orders and unanticipated inventory accumulation. Our business depends on our ability to source and distribute products in a timely manner. As a result, we rely on the free flow of goods through open and operational ports worldwide. Labor disputes or other disruptions at ports create significant risks for our business, particularly if work slowdowns, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions occur during our peak importing seasons. Any of these factors could result in reduced sales, canceled sales orders and unanticipated inventory accumulation and have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows. Unpredictable events and circumstances relating to our international operations, including our use of non-U.S. manufacturers, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Substantially all of our products are manufactured outside of the U.S. and a portion of our revenue is derived from sales outside the U.S., primarily in Canada, but also in markets outside North America. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of factors pertaining to international trade, including: changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions; trade restrictions; import and export licensing requirements; changes in regulatory requirements; additional efforts to comply with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; and longer payment cycles in certain countries, thus requiring us to finance customer purchases over a longer period than those made in the U.S. In addition, we rely on the performance of our employees located in foreign countries. Our ability to control the actions of these employees may be limited by the laws and regulations in effect in each country. Changes in any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows. Regulations related to conflict minerals may cause us to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the costs of certain metals used in the manufacturing of our products. We are subject to requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which will require us to conduct due diligence on and disclose whether or not our products contain conflict minerals. The implementation of these requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability, and pricing of the materials used in the manufacture of components used in our products. In addition, we will incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to conducting diligence procedures to determine the sources of minerals that may be used or necessary to the production of our products and, if applicable, potential changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such due diligence activities. It is also possible that we may face reputational harm if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to alter our products, processes, or sources of supply to avoid such materials. Failure or inability to protect our intellectual property could significantly harm our competitive position. Protecting our intellectual property is an essential factor in maintaining our competitive position in the health and fitness industry. Failure to maximize or to successfully assert our intellectual property rights could impact our competitiveness. We rely on trademark, trade secret, patent and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights. Many factors bear upon the exclusive ownership and right to exploit intellectual properties, including, without limitation, prior rights of third parties and nonuse and/or nonenforcement by us and/or related entities. While we make efforts to develop and protect our intellectual property, the validity, enforceability and commercial value of our intellectual property rights may be reduced or eliminated. We cannot be sure that our intellectual property rights will be maximized or that they can be successfully asserted. There is a risk that we will not be able to obtain and perfect our own intellectual property rights or, where appropriate, license intellectual property rights necessary to compete successfully within the marketplace for our products. We cannot be sure that these rights, if obtained, will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged in the future. If we do not, or are unable to, adequately protect our intellectual property, then we may face difficulty in differentiating our products from those of our competitors and our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. 16 Table of Contents General Risk Factors Our revenues and profitability can fluctuate from period to period and are often difficult to predict due to factors beyond our control. Our results of operations in any particular period may not be indicative of results to be expected in future periods, and have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, subject to periodic fluctuations arising from a number of factors, including: Introduction and market acceptance of new products and sales trends affecting specific existing products; Variations in product selling prices and costs and the mix of products sold; Size and timing of Retail customer orders, which, in turn, often depend upon the success of our customers' businesses or specific products; • • • • Changes in the market conditions for consumer fitness equipment; • Changes in macroeconomic factors; Availability of consumer credit; • Timing and availability of products coming from our offshore contract manufacturing suppliers; • Seasonality of markets, which vary from quarter-to-quarter and are influenced by outside factors such as overall consumer confidence and the availability and cost of • television advertising time; Effectiveness of our media and advertising programs; • • Customer consolidation in our Retail segment, or the bankruptcy of any of our larger Retail customers; • Restructuring charges; • Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; and • Legal and contract settlement charges. These trends and factors could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial position and cash flows in any particular period. Our business and operations are dependent on the expertise of our key contributors, our successful implementation of succession plans, and our ability to attract and retain management employees and skilled labor. Our future success depends on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including executives and skilled labor. Availability of skilled workers is critical to our operations. We may experience difficulty maintaining desired staffing levels with unemployment rates at low levels in many of the geographic areas in which we manufacture or distribute goods. COVID-19 has added new challenges in attracting people for relocation.The loss of qualified personnel, our inability to attract new qualified employees or adequately train employees or a delay in hiring key personnel, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to continue to execute our growth strategy could potentially be adversely affected by the effectiveness of organizational changes. Any disruption or uncertainty resulting from such changes could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We are subject to a number of debt covenants. In January 2020, we entered into new credit facility with Wells Fargo National Association for a period of five years ending January 2025. The proceeds from this new credit facilities were used to refinance our existing indebtedness. Our new credit facility contain certain debt covenants and other customary events of default. Our ability to comply with these debt covenants may be affected by the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section and other factors outside of our control. Failure to comply with one or more of these debt covenants may result in an event of default. Upon an event of default, if not waived by our our lender may declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable. If our current lender accelerates the maturity of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lender on a timely basis. In addition, these debt covenants may prevent us from engaging in transactions that benefit us, including responding to changing business and economic conditions and taking advantage of attractive business opportunities. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and may result in dilution to our existing shareholders. 17 Table of Contents The Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on November 9, 2020 with the SEC, that will allow us to issue up to $100 million in securities including common stock, debt securities, warrants and units. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide the Company with increased financial flexibility and more efficient access to the capital markets. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of these securities or the availability of the securities will have on the prevailing market price of our common stock from time to time. Substantial sales of shares of our common stock or other securities in the public market, or the perception that those sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Such a decrease in our share price could in turn impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Future issuances of our common stock, or other securities convertible into our common stock, may result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders. Significant dilution would reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power held by our existing shareholders. We have incurred operating losses in the past, may incur operating losses in the future, and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We have incurred operating losses in our fiscal year of 2019 of $92.8 million and may incur net losses in the future. We expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we continue our sales and marketing efforts, continue to invest in research and development, expand our operating and retail infrastructure, add content and software features to our platform, expand into new geographies, develop new connected-fitness products and services, and in connection with legal, accounting, and other expenses related to operating as a public company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we expect, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to increase our revenue to offset our operating expenses. Our revenue growth may slow or our revenue may decline for a number of other reasons, including reduced demand for our products and services, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or reduction in size of our overall market, the impacts to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, or if we cannot capitalize on growth opportunities. If our revenue does not grow at a greater rate than our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve and maintain profitability. We track certain operational and business metrics with internal methods that are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. We track certain operational and business metrics, including our connected fitness products, with internal methods, which are not independently verified by any third party and are often reliant upon an interface with mobile operating systems, networks and standards that we do not control. Our internal methods have limitations and our process for tracking these metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including the metrics we report. If the internal methods we use under-count or over- count metrics related to our connected fitness products metrics as a result of algorithm or other technical errors, the operational and business metrics that we report may not be accurate. In addition, limitations or errors with respect to how we measure certain operational and business metrics may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our longer term strategies. If our operational and business metrics are not accurate representations of our business, market penetration, retention or engagement; if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics; or if the metrics we rely on to track our performance do not provide an accurate measurement of our business, our reputation may be harmed, and our operating and financial results could be adversely affected. We may engage in merger and acquisition activities, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our operating results. As part of our business strategy, we have made or may in the future make investments in other companies, products, or technologies. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all, in the future. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals, and any acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by Members or investors. Moreover, an acquisition, investment, or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including disrupting our ongoing operations, diverting management from their primary responsibilities, subjecting us to additional liabilities, increasing our expenses, and adversely impacting our business, financial condition, and operating results. Moreover, we may be exposed to unknown liabilities and the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized, if, for example, we fail to successfully integrate such acquisitions, or the technologies associated with such acquisitions, into our company. 18 Table of Contents To pay for any such acquisitions, we would have to use cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities, each of which may affect our financial condition or the value of our capital stock and could result in dilution to our stockholders. If we incur more debt it would result in increased fixed obligations and could also subject us to covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. Additionally, we may receive indications of interest from other parties interested in acquiring some or all of our business. The time required to evaluate such indications of interest could require significant attention from management, disrupt the ordinary functioning of our business, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Legal Proceedings From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. These legal proceedings involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 20 Table of Contents Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities PART II Market for our Common Stock Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trades under the symbol “NLS.” As of February 22, 2021, there were 40 holders of record of our common stock and approximately 5,200 beneficial shareholders. We did not pay any dividends on our common stock in 2020 or 2019. Payment of any future dividends, in accordance with our borrowing arrangements, is at the discretion of our Board of Directors, which considers various factors such as our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and future expansion plans. Equity Compensation Plans See Part III, Item 12 for equity compensation plan information. 21 Stock Performance Graph The graph below compares the cumulative total shareholder return of our common stock with the cumulative total return of the NYSE Composite Index and the S&P SmallCap 600 index for the period commencing December 31, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2020. The S&P SmallCap 600 was chosen because we do not believe we can reasonably identify an industry index or specific peer issuer that would offer a meaningful comparison. The S&P SmallCap 600 represents a broad-based index of companies with similar market capitalization. The graph assumes $100 was invested, on December 31, 2015, in our common stock and each index presented in the graph. The comparisons in the table below are not intended to forecast or be indicative of future performance of our common stock. Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. OVERVIEW We empower healthier living through individualized connected fitness experiences. We are committed to build a healthier world, one person at a time. Our principal business activities include designing, developing, sourcing and marketing high-quality cardio and strength fitness products, related accessories and digital platform for consumer use, primarily in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. Our products are sold under some of the most-recognized brand names in the fitness industry: Bowflex , Schwinn , JRNY and ® Nautilus . ® ® ® We market our products through two distinct distribution channels, Direct and Retail, which we consider to be separate business segments. Our Direct business offers products directly to consumers primarily through websites. Our Retail business offers our products through a network of independent retail companies to reach consumers in the home use markets in the U.S. and internationally. We also derive a portion of our revenue from the licensing of our brands and intellectual property. Our results for 2020 were primarily impacted by strong demand driven by changes we made to our operating model beginning in late 2019 and COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. The primary actions taken include extensive, in-depth consumer insights research, which has identified an effective new positioning for the Bowflex brand, and which is now underway through a new advertising campaign and updates to our websites, television commercials, social media, and other digital platforms. Additionally, we expect to launch targeted new products across all our channels over the next twelve months. In parallel, we plan to continue our digital transformation with the inclusion of updated digital experience platforms on key new products, moving toward our goal of having the majority of our products equipped with subscription-based digital experience offerings. ® • Net sales for 2020 were $552.6 million, reflecting a 78.7% increase as compared to net sales of $309.3 million for 2019. • Net sales of our Direct segment increased by $121.3 million, or 101.4%, in 2020, compared to 2019. • Net sales of our Retail segment increased by $121.5 million, or 65.1%, in 2020, compared to 2019, and up 95.4% excluding sales related to the Octane brand. • Due to the severe shortage of shipping containers, some factory fulfilled orders, representing over $16 million in revenue, did not ship in late December. Container shortages, worsening global logistics disruptions, and continued factory capacity constraints resulted in $91.5 million of backlog. • Royalty income for 2020 increased by $0.5 million compared to 2019. • Gross profit for 2020 was $228.8 million, or 41.4% of net sales, an increase of $118.2 million, or 106.9%, as compared to gross profit of $110.6 million, or 35.8% of net sales, for 2019. • Operating expenses for 2020 were $151.0 million, a decrease of $60.1 million, or 28.5%, as compared to operating expenses of $211.1 million for 2019. • Operating income for 2020 was $77.8 million, an increase of $178.4 million, or 177.4%, as compared to an operating loss of $100.5 million for 2019. • Income from continuing operations was $60.5 million for 2020, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared to loss from continuing operations of $92.3 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, for 2019. The effective tax rates for 2020 and 2019 were 16.8% and 9.4%, respectively. Table of Contents • Net income for 2020 was $59.8 million, compared to a net loss of $92.8 million for 2019. Net income per diluted share was $1.86 for 2020, compared to net loss per diluted share of $3.13 per diluted share, for 2019. Forward Looking Guidance Turning now to our forward-looking guidance for the transition period from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. We expect sales growth of 55% to 75% versus the same period last year. Due to pressure from increased logistics costs, higher commodity prices, and continued foreign exchange headwinds, we expect gross margins to be relatively flat to the same period last year. We expect operating expenses to be higher in dollars but achieve leverage as these expenses are expected to be lower as a percent of sales than the same period last year, driven by increased marketing and investments in JRNY and North Star. ® Factors Affecting Our Performance Our results of operations may vary significantly from period-to-period. Our revenues typically fluctuate due to the seasonality of our industry, customer buying patterns, product innovation, the nature and level of competition for health and fitness products, our ability to procure products to meet customer demand, the level of spending on, and effectiveness of, our media and advertising programs and our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing sales relationships. In addition, our revenues are highly susceptible to economic factors, including, among other things, the overall condition of the economy and the availability of consumer credit in both the U.S. and Canada. Our profit margins may vary in response to the aforementioned factors and our ability to manage product costs. Profit margins may also be affected by fluctuations in the costs or availability of materials used to manufacture our products, product warranty costs, the cost of fuel, and changes in costs of other distribution or manufacturing-related services. Our operating profits or losses may also be affected by the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization. Historically, our operating expenses have been influenced by media costs to produce and distribute advertisements of our products on television, websites and other media, facility costs, operating costs of our information and communications systems, product supply chain management, customer support and new product development activities. In addition, our operating expenses have been affected from time-to-time by asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other significant unusual or infrequent expenses. As a result of the above and other factors, our period-to-period operating results may not be indicative of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on our operating results and should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by us and other companies, both within and outside our industry. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties and, consequently, we cannot assure you any future growth or profitability. For more information, see our discussion of Risk Factors located at Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Results from discontinued operations relate to the disposal of our former Nautilus Commercial business, which was completed in April 2011. We reached substantial completion of asset liquidation at December 31, 2012. Although there was no revenue related to the Commercial business in 2020, 2019 and 2018, we continue to incur product liability expenses associated with product previously sold into the Commercial channel, and accrued interest associated with an uncertain tax position on discontinued international operations. ® CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility 25 Table of Contents of such matters to change, and (ii) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed below. Goodwill and Other Long-Term Assets Valuation We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for potential impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may be impaired. Definite-lived intangible assets, including acquired trade names, customer relationships, patents and patent rights, and other long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. In 2019, we recognized a non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $72.0 million primarily related to the goodwill and indefinite-lived Octane Fitness brand name which was sold October 14, 2020. No goodwill remained as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, we recognized a loss on disposal for the sale of Octane Fitness related assets of $20.7 million. Our impairment evaluations contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in order to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values. Our judgments regarding potential impairment are based on a number of factors including: the timing and amount of anticipated cash flows; market conditions; relative levels of risk; the cost of capital; terminal values; royalty rates; and the allocation of revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities to reporting units. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value of our goodwill or other long-term assets and, thereby, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. Income Tax Significant judgments are required in determining tax provisions in relation to valuation allowance and tax positions. Such judgments require us to interpret existing tax law and other published guidance as applied to our circumstances. If our financial results or other relevant factors change, thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position or deferred tax assets, significant judgment would be applied in determining the effect of the change. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation. Furthermore, valuation allowance would be provided against deferred tax assets if we determine it is no longer more likely than not that such assets would be fully realized based on the objectively verifiable evidence available. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID- 19”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes several significant provisions that could impact corporate taxpayers’ accounting for income taxes. In 2020, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and net non-current deferred income tax assets of $2.4 million, which included a deferred tax asset for the capital loss from the sale of the Octane business, net of valuation allowance. 26 Table of Contents RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion that follows regarding our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes in this report. All comparisons to prior year results are in reference to continuing operations only in each period, unless otherwise indicated. A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 can be found under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020, which is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investors website at http://www.nautilusinc.com/investors/sec-filings/.

Strength products include: home gyms and Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells, kettlebell and barbell weights, and accessories ® ® ® ® ® ® ® 28 Table of Contents Sales and Gross Profit Direct Segment Net sales for 2020 were $240.9 million, reflecting a 101.4% increase as compared to $119.7 million for 2019. Increased sales were driven primarily by cardio products which grew by 82.6% versus 2019 and were led by strong demand for our connected-fitness bikes, the Bowflex C6 and Schwinn IC4, offset by lower Max Trainer sales. Strength product sales grew 185.5% versus the same period in 2019 driven by SelectTech weights and Bowflex Home Gyms. Positive customer response to the new JRNY powered connected fitness products launched in 2020 also contributed to sales growth. ® ® ® ® ® ® Gross margin rates for 2020 and 2019 were 54.3% and 49.8%, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by increased full-priced sales and favorable fixed cost leverage, partially offset by higher transportation costs. Segment contribution income for 2020 was $60.0 million, compared to loss of $24.6 million for 2019. The $84.6 million improvement was primarily driven by higher gross profit. Combined consumer credit approvals by our primary and secondary U.S. third-party financing providers were 52.0% in 2020 compared to 54.1% in 2019. The decrease in approvals reflects lower credit quality applications. Retail Segment Net sales for 2020 were $308.0 million, reflecting a 65.1% increase as compared to $186.6 million for 2019 or a 95.4% increase, excluding sales related to the Octane brand. Cardio sales were up 66.5% versus 2019, driven by the Schwinn IC4 connected-fitness bikes, Bowflex VeloCore and Max Trainer . Strength sales were up 60.7% versus 2019 led by the popular Bowflex Home Gyms and SelectTech weights. ® ® ® ® ® ® Gross margin rates for 2020 and 2019 were 30.6% and 25.7%, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by favorable customer mix and fixed cost leverage, partially offset by higher transportation costs. Segment contribution income for 2020 was $62.8 million, compared to $16.0 million for 2019. The $46.8 million improvement was primarily driven by higher gross profit. Royalty Royalty income increased by $0.5 million, or 18.0%, to $3.6 million for 2020, compared to 2019, due to a royalty settlement and increased license sales in 2020. Operating Expenses Operating expenses for 2020 were $151.0 million, a decrease of $60.1 million, or 28.5%, as compared to operating expenses of $211.1 million for 2019. The decrease in operating expenses primarily related to a loss on disposal group of $20.7 million in 2020 compared to a goodwill and other intangible impairment charge of $72.0 million in 2019 and a reduction in media spending in 2020 to $34.1 million compared to $44.9 million in 2019. These expense reductions were partially offset by increases in general and administrative and research and development costs. Selling and Marketing Selling and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of media advertising, promotions, trade shows, seminars, and other programs. 29 Table of Contents Selling and marketing information was as follows (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Change Selling and marketing As % of net sales $ 2020 14.2% 78,337 $ 2019 30.6% 94,595 $ Media advertising expense of our Direct business is the largest component of selling and marketing and was as follows (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ (16,258) % (17.2)% Change Media advertising $ 34,066 $ 44,916 $ (10,850) % (24.2)% The decrease in selling and marketing expenses in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to decreases, during the first six months of 2020, in media advertising, given strong organic demand and inventory scarcity. Additionally, COVID-19 reduced travel costs related to selling and marketing. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2020 compared to 2019 was due to the increase in net sales combined with lower expenses. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, and other headcount-related expenses associated with finance, legal, facilities, certain human resources and other administrative personnel, and other administrative fees. General and administrative expenses was as follows (dollars in thousands): General and administrative As % of net sales Year Ended December 31, $ 2020 6.5% 36,176 $ 2019 9.8% Change $ 30,242 $ 5,934 % 19.6% The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020 compared to 2019 was due to personnel costs, primarily in bonus and stock expenses, and consulting expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to the increase net sales. Research and Development Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, other headcount-related expenses and information technology associated with product development.

No 30 Table of Contents goodwill remained as of December 31, 2019. In 2020, we recognized a loss on disposal for the sale of Octane Fitness related assets of $20.7 million. Operating Income Operating income for 2020 was $77.8 million, an increase of $178.4 million, as compared to an operating loss of $100.5 million for 2019. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses as discussed in more detail above. Income from continuing operations was $72.7 million for 2020, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $101.8 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, for 2019. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses as discussed in more detail above and aided by the tax benefit related to the CARES act. Interest Expense Interest expense of $1.5 million and $1.0 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, was primarily related to the outstanding balance on our term loan and line of credit and a loss on debt extinguishment. Other, Net Other, net includes the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations with the U.S. and our foreign subsidiaries and equity investment impairments. Other, net for 2020 was $3.6 million, an increase of $3.1 million, as compared to $0.5 million in 2019. The increase in other, net was primarily due to an equity investment impairment for the significant fair value deterioration from adverse changes in the general market condition of investees' industry of $2.5 million. Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Income tax expense (benefit) includes U.S. and international income taxes, and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense (benefit) was as follows (dollars in thousands): Income tax expense (benefit) Effective tax rate Year Ended December 31, $ 2020 16.8% 12,198 $ 2019 9.4% Change $ (9,537) $ 21,735 % (227.9)% The higher effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to profit generated in the U.S., partially offset by the 14% rate benefit of net operating loss carry-backs as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act. Refer to Note 16, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report for additional information. Net Income Net income was $59.8 million for 2020, compared to a net loss of $92.8 million for 2019. Net income per diluted share was $1.86 for 2020, compared to net loss per diluted share of $3.13 for 2019. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our levels of revenue, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. 31 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2020, we had $94.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $11.1 million as of December 31, 2019. Cash provided by operating activities was $71.7 million for 2020, compared to cash used in operating activities of $22.6 million for 2019. The increase in cash flows from operating activities for 2020, compared to 2019, was primarily due the increase in operating income, along with the changes in our operating assets and liabilities discussed below. Trade receivables increased by $36.6 million to $91.2 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $54.6 million as of December 31, 2019, due to the higher net sales and the timing of receipts in 2020. Inventory decreased by $3.6 million to $51.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $54.8 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the surge in demand for home- fitness products and the divestiture of Octane Fitness in 2020. Prepaids and other current assets increased by $10.9 million to $19.2 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $8.3 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily related to short-term deposits. Trade payables increased by $22.1 million to $96.4 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $74.3 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to timing of payments for inventory and advertising related payments. Accrued liabilities increased by $15.2 million to $22.8 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to payroll related liabilities and customer deposits. Warranty obligations decreased by $0.5 million to $5.2 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $5.7 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the sales mix offset by $2.8 million in warranty obligations assumed by True Fitness on the sale of Octane Fitness. Net deferred income tax assets increased by $3.6 million to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to net deferred income tax liabilities of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the divestiture of Octane Fitness in 2020. Cash used in investing activities of $24.5 million for 2020 was related to the purchase of marketable securities of $36.2 million, $9.7 million used for capital expenditures during 2020, primarily for information technology assets, our digital platform JRNY , and production tooling and equipment offset by proceeds from the sale of Octane Fitness of $21.4 million. ® Cash used in financing activities of $3.1 million for 2020 was primarily related to principal repayments on our term loan and line of credit of $45.1 million, tax payments and proceeds on stock award issuances of $2.2 million and debt issuance costs of $1.8 million, offset by proceeds from our line of credit of $45.8 million. Financing Arrangements JP Morgan Chase Bank Credit Agreement As of December 31, 2019, we had an outstanding credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“Chase Bank”) which consisted of an $80.0 million term loan and a $40.0 million revolving line of credit. The term loan was used to finance the acquisition of Octane Fitness and was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2020. The revolving line of credit was scheduled to mature December 31, 2021. Both the term loan and the revolving line of credit were secured by substantially all of our assets. The Chase Bank debt facilities were terminated in January 2020 upon entering into a new credit agreement described below. 32 Table of Contents Wells Fargo Bank Credit Agreement On January 31, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with Wells Fargo the “Lenders”) (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make available to us an asset-based revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55.0 million, subject to a borrowing base (the “ABL Revolving Facility”), and a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “Wells Fargo Financing"), in each case, as such amounts may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Wells Fargo Financing expires and all outstanding amounts become due on January 31, 2025 unless the maturity is accelerated subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The repayment of obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. Principal and interest amounts are required to be paid as scheduled. We used the proceeds from the Wells Fargo Financing to extinguish our existing $40.0 million revolver with Chase Bank, pay transaction expenses, and for general corporate purposes. Our previously existing credit facilities and agreements with Chase Bank and all guarantees and liens existing in connection with those facilities and agreements were terminated upon the closing of this Wells Fargo financing. In connection with the termination of the Chase Bank facility, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Interest on the ABL Revolving Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% (based on average quarterly availability) and interest on the Term Loan Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus 5.00%. As of December 31, 2020, our interest rate was 1.90% for the ABL Revolving Facility and 5.15% for the Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2020, outstanding borrowings totaled $13.8 million, with $13.6 million and $0.2 million under our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Wells Fargo Financing and $54.8 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility. Any outstanding balance is due and payable on January 31, 2025. The balance sheet classification of the borrowings under the revolving loan credit facility has been determined in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Borrowings outstanding under a revolving credit agreement that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a springing lock-box arrangement are classified based on the provisions of ASC 470 because the lock-box remittances do not automatically reduce the debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility and assessed the probability that the creditor would accelerate the due date of the debt by exercising the subjective acceleration clauses of our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility before its scheduled maturity as remote. Accordingly, this obligation has been classified as a long-term liability in the balance sheet. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for financings of this type, including, among other terms and conditions, delivery of financial statements, reports and maintenance of existence, revolving availability subject to a calculated borrowing base, as well as limitations and conditions on our ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of our property; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include a minimum liquidity covenant of $7.5 million. Beginning February 1, 2022, the minimum liquidity covenant will decrease to $5.0 million and only a minimum EBITDA covenant will apply. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including but not limited to, the nonpayment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency and default on indebtedness held by third parties (subject to certain limitations and cure periods). Shelf Registration Statement On November 9, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (“Shelf Registration”) with the SEC under which we may, from time to time, sell securities in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $100,000,000. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions. We have not made any offerings of securities under the Shelf Registration. 33 Table of Contents Stock Repurchase Program On February 21, 2018 our Board of Directors authorized an additional $15.0 million share repurchase program. Under this program, shares of our common stock may be repurchased from time to time through February 21, 2020. During 2019, we repurchased 990,229 shares at an average price of $13.12 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $13.0 million. As of February 2020, the stock repurchases under this program were completed in full and the program expired. Repurchases were made in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. Share repurchases were funded with existing cash balances, and the repurchased shares were retired and returned to unissued authorized shares. Commitments and Contingencies For a description of our commitments and contingencies, refer to Note 22, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. Non-Cancellable Contractual Obligations Our operating cash flows include the effect of certain non-cancellable contractual obligations. A summary of such obligations as of December 31, 2020 is as follows (in thousands): Debt obligations, including interest Purchase obligations Minimum royalty obligations (1) Total Payments due by period Total Less 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years $ $ 15,591 165,676 625 181,892 $ $ 3,841 $ 165,676 625 170,142 $ 11,458 $ — — 11,458 $ 292 $ — — 292 $ — — — — (1) Our purchase obligations are comprised primarily of inventory purchase commitments to our third-party manufactures. Because substantially all of our inventory is sourced from Asia, we have long lead times and therefore need to secure factory capacity from our vendors in advance. Our third-party manufacturing contracts are generally of annual or shorter duration, or manufactured products are sourced on the basis of individual purchase orders. Due to uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020, we are unable to make reasonable reliable estimates of the timing of any cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, approximately $4.4 million of liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions, have been excluded from the contractual table above. For further information, refer to Note 16, Income Taxes. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from our use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions. The nature and terms of these indemnifications vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of indemnifications. Because we are unable to estimate our potential obligation, and because management does not expect these obligations to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, no liabilities are recorded at December 31, 2020. 34 Table of Contents INFLATION We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2020, 2019 or 2018. Inflation pressures do exist in countries where our contract manufacturers are based; however, we have largely mitigated these increases through cost improvement measures. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report. 35 Table of Contents Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, derivative assets, and variable-rate debt obligations. As of December 31, 2020, we held money market funds and marketable debt securities in a combination of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, and U.S. government bonds. Our cash equivalents mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. Marketable securities with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. We have classified our marketable securities as available- for-sale and, therefore, we may choose to sell or hold them as changes in the market occur. Because of the short-term nature of the instruments in our portfolio, a decline in interest rates would reduce our interest income over time, and an increase in interest rates may negatively affect the market price or liquidity of certain securities within the portfolio. Our negotiated credit facilities generally charge interest based on a benchmark rate such as LIBOR. Fluctuations in short-term interest rates may cause interest payments on term loan principal and drawn amounts on the revolving line to increase or decrease. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balances on our credit facilities totaled $13.8 million. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the earnings impacts of exchange rate fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities. Total notional amounts outstanding at December 31, 2020 were $32.1 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates, or a 10% movement in the currencies underlying our foreign currency derivative positions, would have material impacts on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to manage our interest rate or foreign currency exposure. That is, we do not engage in interest rate or currency exchange rate speculation using derivative instruments. 36 Table of Contents Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Nautilus, Inc.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for Leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Income tax impacts of the sale of the Octane business 37 Table of Contents As described in Note 1 and Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and net non-current deferred income tax assets of $2.4 million, which included a deferred tax asset for the capital loss from the sale of the Octane business. We identified the evaluation of particular income tax impacts of the sale of the Octane business, including the recognition of the deferred tax asset related to the capital loss, as a critical audit matter. Due to the transaction being significant, complex, and unusual in nature, the audit effort related to the evaluation of these income tax impacts of the transaction and application of the relevant tax laws and regulations in calculating the capital loss required the involvement of professionals with specialized tax skills and knowledge. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s assessment of these income tax impacts of the sale and recognition of the deferred tax asset for the capital loss. We involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the relevant tax laws and regulations were appropriately applied to the transaction and to the calculation of the capital loss. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017. Portland, Oregon February 26, 2021 /s/ KPMG LLP 38 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Nautilus, Inc.: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 26, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLP 39 Table of Contents Portland, Oregon February 26, 2021 40 NAUTILUS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Organization and Business Nautilus, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, "Nautilus," the "Company," "we" or "us") was founded in 1986 and incorporated in the State of Washington in 1993. Our headquarters are located in Vancouver, Washington. We empower healthier living through individualized connected fitness experiences to build a healthier world, one person at a time. Our principal business activities include designing, developing, sourcing and marketing high-quality cardio and strength fitness products and related accessories for consumer use, primarily in the U.S., Canada, and ® Europe. Our products are sold under some of the most-recognized brand names in the fitness industry: Bowflex , Schwinn , JRNY and Nautilus . ® ® ® We market our products through two distinct distribution channels, Direct and Retail, which we consider to be separate business segments. Our Direct business offers products directly to consumers through television advertising, catalogs and our websites. Our Retail business offers our products through a network of independent retail companies and specialty retailers with stores and websites located in the U.S. and internationally. We also derive a portion of our revenue from the licensing of our brands and intellectual property. Basis of Consolidation and Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and relate to Nautilus, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, directly or indirectly. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, we have reclassified from other assets to deferred income tax assets, non-current. Unless indicated otherwise, all information regarding our operating results pertain to our continuing operations. Fiscal Year On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of Nautilus approved a change in the Nautilus’ fiscal year from the twelve months beginning January 1 and ending December 31 to the twelve months beginning April 1 and ending March 31. The Company plans to file a transition report on Form 10-QT for the transition period from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. The Company’s fiscal year 2022 will begin April 1, 2021 and end March 31, 2022. Discontinued Operations Results from discontinued operations relate to the disposal of our former Nautilus Commercial business, which was completed in April 2011. We reached substantial completion of asset liquidation at December 31, 2012. Although there was no revenue related to our former Commercial business during 2018 through 2020, we continue to have product liability and other legal expenses associated with product previously sold into the Commercial channel. ® Results of operations related to the Commercial business have been presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Our critical accounting estimates relate to income taxes, valuation allowances, and other long-term assets valuation. Actual results could differ from our estimates. 47 Table of Contents Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts in excess of federally-insured limits and trade receivables. Trade receivables are generally unsecured and therefore collection is affected by the economic conditions in each of our principal markets. We rely on third-party contract manufacturers in Asia for substantially all of our products and for certain product engineering support. Business operations could be disrupted by natural disasters, difficulties in transporting products from non-U.S. suppliers, as well as political, social or economic instability in the countries where contract manufacturers or their vendors or customers conduct business. While any such contract manufacturing arrangement could be replaced over time, the temporary loss of the services of any primary contract manufacturer could delay product shipments and cause a significant disruption in our operations. We derive a significant portion of our net sales from a small number of our Retail customers. A loss of business from one or more of these large customers, if not replaced with new business, would negatively affect our operating results and cash flows. In 2020, 2019 and 2018 two customers each individually accounted for more than 10%, but less than 20%, of our net sales. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and totaled $14.9 million. As of December 31, 2019, we did not have any cash equivalents. Restricted Cash We are required by our banking partner to maintain a restricted bank account to cover for exposures on corporate credit cards and letters of credits. The use of these funds are restricted until the exposure with the banking partner is closed. Available-For-Sale Securities We classify our marketable debt securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record them at fair value. Marketable securities with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is expected to be used for current operations. Unrealized holding gains and losses, which are immaterial, are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in other comprehensive income until realized. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses, which were not material in 2020, 2019 or 2018, are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. We periodically evaluate whether declines in fair values of our investments below their cost are "other-than-temporary." This evaluation consists of qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs. For additional information, refer to Note 5, Fair Value Measurements. Derivative Securities We record our derivative securities at fair value, and our portfolio currently consists of foreign currency forward contracts. Our interest rate swap agreement, which was classified as a cash flow hedge, was terminated as of June 30, 2019 and the $0.1 million, net of tax, amount related to the cash flow hedge recorded as deferred gains was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive losses to other income. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the earnings impacts of exchange rate fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates, or a 10% movement in the currencies underlying our foreign currency derivative positions, would have material impacts on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in the Other, net line of our consolidated statements of operations. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to manage our interest rate or foreign currency exposure. That is, we do not engage in interest rate or currency exchange rate speculation using derivative instruments. For additional information, refer to Note 6, Derivatives. 48 Table of Contents Trade Receivables Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables due from our Retail segment customers. We determine an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical customer experience and other currently available evidence. When a specific account is deemed uncollectible, the account is written off against the allowance. For additional information, refer to Note 7, Trade Receivables. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value ("NRV"), with cost determined based on the first-in, first-out method. We establish inventory allowances for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on inventory levels, expected product life and forecasted sales. Inventories are written down to NRV based on historical demand, competitive factors, changes in technology and product lifecycles. For additional information, refer to Note 8, Inventories. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements or betterments which add new functionality or significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Software costs related to an asset developed for internal use are capitalized after the preliminary project stage, management has committed to the completion of the project and it is probable the project will be complete and used as intended. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts at the time of disposal. Gains and losses resulting from asset sales and dispositions are recognized in the period in which assets are disposed. Depreciation is recognized, using the straight-line method, over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, including renewal periods if we expect to exercise our renewal options. Depreciation on automobiles, computer software and equipment, machinery and equipment is determined based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from two-to-seven years, and furniture and fixtures which generally range from five-to-twenty years. For additional information, refer to Note 9, Property, Plant and Equipment. Goodwill Goodwill consists of the excess of acquisition costs over the fair values of net assets acquired in business combinations. It is not amortized, but rather is tested at the reporting unit level at least annually for impairment or more frequently if triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment. Initially, qualitative factors are considered to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of these qualitative factors may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, a change in financial performance, entity-specific events, a sustained decrease in share price, and consideration of the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of a reporting unit as determined in the most recent quantitative assessment. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed. A quantitative impairment analysis involves estimating the fair value of a reporting unit using widely-accepted valuation methodologies including the income and market approaches, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, discounts rates, and determination of appropriate market comparables. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. In accordance ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, we perform a goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment evaluation during the fourth quarter of each year. However, as a result of the decline in our market value relative to the market and our industry, identified as a triggering event, we performed an interim evaluation and a market capitalization reconciliation during the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $63.5 million which reduced goodwill to zero. We performed an assessment of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2018 and determined no impairment was indicated in that year. Other Intangible Assets Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired trademarks, specifically trade names. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost and are not amortized; instead, they are tested for impairment at least annually. We assess the value of indefinite-lived assets under either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, we consider various market factors, including applicable key assumptions also used in the quantitative assessment listed below. If we determine that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible assets is impaired, the quantitative approach is used to assess the asset fair value and the amount of the impairment. We review our 49 Table of Contents indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The fair value of trademarks is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method to estimate the value of the cost savings and a discounted cash flows method to estimate the value of future income. The sum of these two values for each trademark is the fair value of the trademark. If the carrying amount of trademarks exceeds the estimated fair value, we calculate impairment as the excess of carrying amount over the estimate of fair value. We tested our indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment in the fourth quarters of 2020, 2019 and 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we sold Octane Fitness and the related other intangible asset were reduced by $32.0 million. During the second quarter of 2019, we identified impairment indicators with our indefinite-lived trademarks resulting in an $8.5 million non-cash intangible impairment charge in our Octane Fitness brand name originally acquired through the Octane Fitness acquisition on December 31, 2015. The impairment charge is recorded in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. We determined no impairment was indicated in 2018 for our indefinite-lived intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets, primarily acquired trade names, customer relationships, patents and patent rights, are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are evaluated for impairment as discussed below under Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recognize amortization expense for our definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. For further information regarding other intangible assets, see Note 11, Other Intangible Assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. When such an event or condition occurs, we estimate the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to determine whether a potential impairment exists. If the carrying value exceeds estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we record impairment expense to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. In accordance ASC 360 — Property, Plant, and Equipment and other long-lived assets, we performed a test for recoverability of our assets as the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment from the decline in our market value relative to the market and our industry identified a long-lived asset impairment indicator in 2019. For a long-lived assets or disposal group classified as held-for-sale to be disposed of, the carrying value is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to sell. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale were presented separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the balance sheet. The disposal group was structured as a sale of the subsidiary shares and asset sale for the international assets. Our long-lived assets were recoverable, and step two impairment charge was not required in 2020, 2019 and 2018. Equity Investments ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, requires us to measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in earnings. We do not hold any equity investments where we use quoted market prices to determine the fair values of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. During the fourth quarter of 2020 we recognized an impairment of $2.5 million as we made an assessment of the investment after observing impairment indicators upon receipt of the most recent financial statements and third party valuation reports. The fair value was determined by reviewing the financial information and financial performance indicating a significant adverse change in the general market condition the investee operates. See Note 12, Equity Investments, for additional information. Share Repurchases Shares of our common stock may be repurchased from time to time as authorized by our Board of Directors. Repurchases may be made in open market transactions at prevailing prices, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. Share repurchases are funded from existing cash balances, and repurchased shares are retired and returned to unissued authorized shares. These repurchases are accounted for as reductions to our common stock to the extent available with remaining amounts allocated against retained earnings. As of December 31, 2020, we did not have an authorized share repurchase plan. 50 Table of Contents Revenue Recognition and Adoption of Topic 606 On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606. We elected to apply the standard and all related ASUs retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The implementation of the new standard had no material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue, resulting in no adjustments to prior periods. Additional disclosures, however, have been added in accordance with the ASU. Our Direct and Retail revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For our Direct channel, control is transferred when products are shipped to customers as the entity has fulfilled the promise to transfer the goods. For Retail, control is transferred when contractual shipping terms are performed for the customer, generally upon our delivery to the carrier, in accordance with the terms of a sales contract. Our product sales and shipping revenues are reported net of promotional discounts, returns allowances, contractual rebates, and consideration payable to our customers. We estimate the revenue impact of retail sales incentive programs based on the planned duration of the program and historical experience. If the amount of sales incentives is reasonably estimable, the impact of such incentives is recorded at the later of the time the customer is notified of the sales incentive or the time of the sale. We estimate our liability for product returns based on historical experience, and record the expected customer refund liability as a reduction of revenue, and the expected inventory right of recovery, net of estimated scrap, as a reduction of cost of sales. 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. We provide standard assurance-type warranties on our products which cover defective materials or nonconforming products, and is included with each product at no additional charge. In addition, we offer service-type/extended warranties for an additional fee to our Direct channel customers and Retail specialty and commercial customers. These warranty contracts provide coverage on labor and parts beyond the standard assurance warranty period. For our product sales, services, and freight and delivery fees, we are the principal in the contract and recognize revenue at a point in time. For our Direct channel extended warranty contracts, we are the agent and recognize revenue on a net basis because our performance obligation is to facilitate the arrangement between our customers and the third-party performance obligor. For customer contracts that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling price based on prices charged to customers on standalone sales or using expected cost plus margin. Many Direct business customers finance their purchases through a third-party credit provider, for which we pay a commission or financing fee to the credit provider. Revenue for such transactions is recognized based on the sales price charged to the customer, net of promotional discounts, and the related commission or financing fee is included in selling and marketing expense. Exemptions and Elections We apply the practical expedient as per ASC 606-10-50-14 and do not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations due to their original expected durations are one year or less. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded in selling and marketing expense. We generally account for our shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment activity, consistent with the timing of revenue recognition; that is, when our customer takes control of the transferred goods. In the event that a customer were to take control of a product prior to shipment, we make an accounting policy election to treat such shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. For additional information, see Note 4, Revenues. 51 Table of Contents Sales Discounts and Returns Allowance Product sales and shipping revenues are reported net of promotional discounts and return allowances. We estimate the revenue impact of retail sales incentive programs based on the planned duration of the program and historical experience. If the amount of sales incentives is reasonably estimable, the impact of such incentives is recorded at the later of the time the customer is notified of the sales incentive or the time of the sale. We estimate our liability for product returns based on historical experience, and record the expected customer refund liability as a reduction of revenue, and the expected inventory right of recovery, net of estimated scrap, as a reduction of cost of sales. 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. Activity in our sales discounts and returns allowance was as follows (in thousands): Balance, January 1 Charges to reserve Reductions for sales discounts and returns Balance, December 31 2020 2019 2018 $ $ 4,385 22,009 (19,983) 6,411 $ $ 4,419 18,311 (18,345) 4,385 $ $ 6,920 15,058 (17,559) 4,419 Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recorded on a net basis and excluded from net sales. Shipping and Handling Fees Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded net of discounts and included in both net sales and cost of sales. We generally account for our shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment activity, consistent with the timing of revenue recognition; that is, when our customer takes control of the transferred goods. Cost of Sales Cost of sales primarily consists of: inventory costs; royalties paid to third parties; employment and occupancy costs of warehouse and distribution facilities, including depreciation of improvements and equipment; transportation expenses; product warranty expenses; distribution information systems expenses; and allocated expenses for shared administrative functions. Product Warranty Obligations Our products carry defined warranties for defects in materials or workmanship which, according to their terms, generally obligate us to pay the costs of supplying and shipping replacement parts to customers and, in certain instances, pay for labor and other costs to service products. Outstanding product warranty periods range from thirty days to, in limited circumstances, the lifetime of certain product components. We record a liability at the time of sale for the estimated costs of fulfilling future warranty claims. If necessary, we adjust the liability for specific warranty-related matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. Estimated warranty expense is included in cost of sales, based on historical warranty claim experience and available product quality data. Warranty expense is affected by the performance of new products, significant manufacturing or design defects not discovered until after the product is delivered to the customer, product failure rates, and higher or lower than expected repair costs. If warranty expense differs from previous estimates, or if circumstances change such that the assumptions inherent in previous estimates are no longer valid, the amount of product warranty obligations is adjusted accordingly. Litigation and Loss Contingencies From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. These legal proceedings involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We record expenses for litigation and loss contingencies as a component of general and administrative expense when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, we do not establish an accrued liability. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then we disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. 52 Table of Contents Advertising and Promotion We expense our advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Production costs of television advertising commercials are recorded in prepaids and other current assets until the initial broadcast, at which time such costs are expensed. Advertising and promotion costs are included in selling and marketing expenses and totaled $36.3 million, $46.8 million and $65.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Prepaid advertising and promotion costs were $0.6 million, $1.3 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and Development Internal research and development costs, which primarily consist of salaries and wages, employee benefits, expenditures for materials, and fees to use licensed technologies, are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs for products under development or being researched, if any, are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Improvements or betterments which add new functionality or significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Software costs related to an asset developed for internal use are capitalized after the preliminary project stage, management has committed to the completion of the project and it is probable the project will be complete and used as intended. Income Taxes We account for income taxes based on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to be included, as income or expense, in the applicable tax return. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period of the enactment. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income tax assets if we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Unrecognized Tax Benefits We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation. We recognize tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Foreign Currency Translation We translate the accounts of our non-U.S. subsidiaries into U.S. dollars as follows: revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the year; and assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reported in our consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions, including transactions between us and our non-U.S. subsidiaries, are recorded as a component of other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaids and other current assets, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. For additional information on financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020, refer to Note 5, Fair Value Measurements. Stock-Based Compensation We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the award. To the extent a stock- based award is subject to performance conditions, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects our assessment of the probability of achieving the performance targets. Fair value of stock options and shares subject to our employee stock purchase plan are estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model; fair value of performance share unit ("PSU") awards, restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards and restricted stock awards ("RSA") is based on the closing market price on the day preceding the grant. Our accounting treatment of forfeiture expenses reversals is at the forfeiture date and do not estimate future forfeitures prior to their actual occurrence. 53 Table of Contents Shares to be issued upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of stock awards will come from newly issued shares. Income (Loss) Per Share Amounts Basic income per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share amounts were calculated using the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding increased by dilutive potential common shares related to stock-based awards, as determined by the treasury stock method. If there is a loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Newly-Adopted Pronouncements ASU 2019-01 In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements.” The amendments in ASU 2019-01 address three issues: (1) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufactures or dealers; (2) presentation on the statement of cash flows of sales-type and direct financing leases; and (3) transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. ASU 2019-01 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early application permitted. Our adoption of ASU 2019-01 as of January 1, 2020 had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2018-13 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting - Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which was finalized in August 2018. The main provisions include removals, modifications, and additions of specific disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial year of adoption, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Our adoption of ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020 had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted ASU 2020-04 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform and provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a reference rate, which is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and we may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2020-01 In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” The amendments in ASU 2020-01 clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not 54 Table of Contents expect the adoption of this guidance would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2019-12 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in ASU 2019-12 introduce the following new guidance: (1) provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax; and (2) provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized or a separate transaction. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 make changes to the following current guidance: (1) making an intraperiod allocation if there is a loss in continuing operations and a gain outside of continuing operations; (2) determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting; (3) accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods; and (4) determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2016-13 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides entities to have certain instruments with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which provides clarification and addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC 2020-03, which provides an update to clarify or address specific issues. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. (2) ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE As part of our strategic decision to renew our focus on connected in-home fitness we sold OF Holdings. The OF Holdings business was reported within our Retail segment. On October 14, 2020, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with True Fitness Technology, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“True Fitness”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on October 14, 2020, True Fitness purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary OF Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), which included Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary Octane Fitness, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (collectively, “Octane Fitness”). In addition, effective October 14, 2020, pursuant to terms of a U.K. Asset Transfer Agreement, a subsidiary of True Fitness, True Fitness Technology U.K. Limited, purchased certain assets and assumed certain Octane Fitness brand-related liabilities of our U.K. subsidiary, Octane Fitness UK Ltd. Contemporaneously with the transactions described above, True Fitness Technology Ireland Limited, a subsidiary of True Fitness, entered into an NL Asset Transfer Agreement with Octane Fitness International B.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, providing for the True Fitness subsidiary to purchase certain assets and assume certain Octane brand-related liabilities of Octane Fitness International B.V. The above-described transactions are collectively referred to as the “Sale of the Octane Business”. The aggregate consideration for the Sale of the Octane Business as provided by the Stock Purchase Agreement and the asset transfer agreements consists of a base purchase price of $25.0 million subject to adjustments for cash and cash equivalents, indebtedness, transaction expenses and working capital. True Fitness assumed $2.8 million of warranty liabilities and $0.5 million of vendor recourse lease obligations. We incurred selling costs of $3.0 million in connection with the Sale of the Octane Business. 55 Table of Contents The assets and liabilities of the Octane Fitness disposal group sold were as follows (in thousands): ® Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Inventories Prepaids and other current assets Property, plant and equipment, net Other intangible assets Other assets Total assets sold Liabilities: Trade payables Accrued liabilities Warranty obligations Deferred income tax liabilities Total liabilities sold Assets Liabilities Carrying value Current fair value (Consideration) Plus cash and cash equivalents Less disposal costs Less working capital adjustment Net fair value Loss on disposal group (3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS As of October 14, 2020 As of October 14, 2020 497 3,904 10,099 560 1,571 32,045 23 48,699 3,766 1,058 2,762 1,513 9,099 48,699 9,099 39,600 25,000 497 (2,976) (3,589) 18,932 20,668 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Following is a summary of certain financial information regarding our discontinued operations (in thousands): Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes Income tax expense Total loss from discontinued operations 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 $ $ (162) 527 (689) $ $ (206) $ 299 (505) $ (206) 246 (452) Table of Contents (4) REVENUES Our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by revenue source, excluding sales-based taxes, were as follows (in thousands): 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Product sales Extended warranties and services Other (1) Net sales $ $ 534,758 8,157 9,645 552,560 $ $ 296,447 6,691 6,147 309,285 (1) Other revenue is primarily freight and delivery, royalty income and subscription revenue.

Container shortages, worsening global logistics disruptions, and continued factory capacity constraints resulted in $91.5 million of customer order backlog, which includes firm orders for future shipment to our Retail customers, as well as unfulfilled consumer orders within the Direct channel. Direct orders of $46.5 million and Retail orders of $45.0 million comprise our backlog as of December 31, 2020. The estimated future revenues are net of contractual rebates and consideration payable for applicable Retail customers, and net of current promotional programs and sales discounts for our Direct customers. The following table provides information about our liabilities from contracts with customers, primarily customer deposits and deferred revenue for which advance consideration is received prior to the transfer of control. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs. All customer deposits and deferred revenue received are short-term in nature. Significant changes in contract liabilities balances, including revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in opening contract liabilities, are shown below (in thousands): Balance, January 1 Cash additions Revenue recognition Balance, December 31 (5) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 2020 2019 2018 $ $ 1,225 9,148 (3,981) 6,392 $ $ 816 2,330 (1,921) 1,225 $ $ 1,084 1,794 (2,062) 816 Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories: • • • Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active liquid markets for identical securities as of the reporting date; Level 2 - other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume and/or infrequent transactions; and Level 3 - significant inputs that are generally unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, including our own assumptions in determining fair value. 57 Table of Contents Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2020 Assets: Cash Equivalents Money market funds Available-for-Sale Securities Commercial paper Corporate bonds U.S. government bonds Derivatives Foreign currency forward contracts Total derivatives at fair value - assets Total assets at fair value Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign currency forward contracts Total liabilities at fair value Assets: Derivatives Foreign currency forward contracts Total assets at fair value Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign currency forward contracts Total liabilities at fair value $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 14,902 14,902 $ $ — — — — — — — — 14,902 — — — — — — $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Level 1 5,993 2,067 28,139 36,199 228 228 36,427 15 15 $ $ $ December 31, 2019 Level 2 Level 3 295 295 9 9 $ $ $ $ — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 14,902 14,902 5,993 2,067 28,139 36,199 228 228 51,329 15 15 295 295 9 9 Total For our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we recognize transfers between levels at the actual date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, we did not have any changes to our valuation techniques during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record them at fair value. Level 1 investment valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 investment valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions. The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in comprehensive income until realized. 58 Table of Contents The fair values of our interest rate swap contract and our foreign currency forward contracts are calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount factors derived from relevant Level 2 market inputs, including forward curves and volatility levels. ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates and terminal value. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to an even higher degree of uncertainty. We also use market valuation models and other financial ratios, which require us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to our assets and businesses. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we did record an impairment of our equity investment assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the amount of $2.5 million. We recognized an impairment of $2.5 million as we made an assessment of the investment after observing impairment indicators upon receipt of the most recent financial statements and third party valuation reports and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2.5 million. The fair value was determined by reviewing the financial information and financial performance indicating a significant adverse change in the general market condition the investee operates. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaids and other current assets, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our debt approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the interest rate is variable and based on current market rates. (6) DERIVATIVES From time to time, we enter into interest rate swaps to fix a portion of our interest expense, and foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the earnings impacts of exchange rate fluctuations on certain monetary assets and liabilities. We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to manage interest rate or foreign currency exposure. That is, we do not engage in interest rate or currency exchange rate speculation using derivative instruments. We may hedge our net recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities with forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivative instruments hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded as other income. These derivative instruments do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. As of December 31, 2020, total outstanding contract notional amounts were $32.1 million. At December 31, 2020, these outstanding balance sheet hedging derivatives had maturities of 77 days or less. The fair value of our derivative instruments was included in our consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands): Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges: Foreign currency forward contracts Balance Sheet Classification Prepaids and other current assets Accrued liabilities As of December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ 228 15 213 $ $ 295 9 286 59 Table of Contents The effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations was as follows (in thousands): Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: (Gain) loss recognized in other comprehensive income before reclassifications Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the effective portion Income tax expense Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges: (Loss) gain recognized in earnings Income tax benefit (expense) For additional information related to our derivatives, see Notes 5 and 17.

These leases generally contain renewal options to extend for one lease term of five years. For leases that we are reasonably certain we will exercise the lease renewal options, the options were considered in determining the lease term, and associated potential option payments are included in the lease payments. The payments used in the renewal term were estimated using the percentage rate increase of historical rent payments for each location where the renewal will be exercised.

The accounting guidance related to the classification and measurement of certain equity investments requires us to account for these investments at fair value or to elect to account for these investments under the "practicability exception," which permits measurement of these investments at cost, minus impairments, plus or minus observable changes in price from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer for each reporting period. We elected this practicability exception and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an impairment of $2.5 million as we made a qualitative assessment of the investment after observing impairment indicators upon receipt of the most recent financial statements and third party valuation reports. The fair value was determined by reviewing the financial information and financial performance indicating a significant adverse change in the general market condition the investee operates. No impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 and we have not recognized any upward adjustments on either an annual or cumulative basis due to observable price changes.

(“Chase Bank”) which consisted of an $80.0 million term loan and a $40.0 million revolving line of credit. The term loan was used to finance the acquisition of Octane Fitness and was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2020. The revolving line of credit was scheduled to mature December 31, 2021. Both the term loan and the revolving line of credit were secured by substantially all of our assets. The Chase Bank debt facilities were terminated in January 2020 upon entering into a new credit agreement described below. Wells Fargo Bank Credit Agreement On January 31, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively with Wells Fargo the “Lenders”) (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, among other things, to make available to us an asset-based revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55.0 million, subject to a borrowing base (the “ABL Revolving Facility”), and a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “Wells Fargo Financing"), in each case, as such amounts may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Wells Fargo Financing expires and all outstanding amounts become due on January 31, 2025 unless the maturity is accelerated subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The repayment of obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets. Principal and interest amounts are required to be paid as scheduled. We used the proceeds from the Wells Fargo Financing to extinguish our existing $40.0 million revolver with Chase Bank, pay transaction expenses, and for general corporate purposes. Our previously existing credit facilities and agreements with Chase Bank and all guarantees and liens existing in connection with those facilities and agreements were terminated upon the closing of this Wells Fargo financing. In connection with the termination of the Chase Bank facility, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Interest on the ABL Revolving Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25% (based on average quarterly availability) and interest on the Term Loan Facility will accrue at LIBOR plus 5.00%. As of December 31, 2020, our interest rate was 1.90% for the ABL Revolving Facility and 5.15% for the Term Loan Facility. 64 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2020, outstanding borrowings totaled $13.8 million, with $13.6 million and $0.2 million under our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Wells Fargo Financing and $54.8 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Revolving Facility. Any outstanding balance is due and payable on January 31, 2025. The balance sheet classification of the borrowings under the revolving loan credit facility has been determined in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Borrowings outstanding under a revolving credit agreement that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a springing lock-box arrangement are classified based on the provisions of ASC 470 because the lock-box remittances do not automatically reduce the debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility and assessed the probability that the creditor would accelerate the due date of the debt by exercising the subjective acceleration clauses of our Term Loan Facility and ABL Revolving Facility before its scheduled maturity as remote. Accordingly, this obligation has been classified as a long-term liability in the balance sheet. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for financings of this type, including, among other terms and conditions, delivery of financial statements, reports and maintenance of existence, revolving availability subject to a calculated borrowing base, as well as limitations and conditions on our ability to: create, incur, assume or be liable for indebtedness; dispose of assets outside the ordinary course; acquire, merge or consolidate with or into another person or entity; create, incur or allow any lien on any of our property; make investments; or pay dividends or make distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include a minimum liquidity covenant of $7.5 million. Beginning February 1, 2022, the minimum liquidity covenant will decrease to $5.0 million and only a minimum EBITDA covenant will apply. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including but not limited to, the nonpayment of principal and interest when due thereunder, breaches of representations and warranties, noncompliance with covenants, acts of insolvency and default on indebtedness held by third parties (subject to certain limitations and cure periods).

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID- 19”). The CARES Act, among other things, included several significant provisions that impacted corporate taxpayers’ accounting for income taxes. Prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act generally eliminated the ability to carryback net operating losses (“NOLs”), and permitted the NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to be carried forward indefinitely, limited to 80% of the taxpayer’s income. The CARES Act amended the NOL rules, suspending the 80% limitation on the utilization of NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021. Additionally, the CARES Act allows corporate NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021, to be carried back to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss. Pursuant to the enactment of CARES Act, we performed various analyses and evaluated the impact to our financial statements. Based on our assessment, we determined that the modifications to the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act resulted in a tax benefit and cash inflow for the company. We utilized the taxable losses incurred in 2019 by carrying back against the taxable income generated in prior years which were measured at 35%. As a result, we recorded a $3.9 million income tax benefit associated with the remeasurement to the NOL carryback at a 14% tax rate differential and a corresponding income tax receivable from the 2019 NOL carryback was recorded in 2020. Furthermore, during 2020, we entered in to a stock purchase agreement with True Fitness Technology, Inc. ("True Fitness") where True Fitness acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary OF Holdings, Inc. As a result, we expect approximately $25.5 million capital loss deferred tax asset in connection with this sale. In addition to the stock sale, we recorded a $2.5 million impairment on an equity investment in the fourth quarter of 2020, which resulted in an additional $0.6 million capital loss deferred tax asset. However, as we currently do not have or expect to generate capital gain to utilize these capital loss deferred tax assets in the near future, these deferred tax assets were fully reduced by a valuation allowance in 2020. We account for income taxes based on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Evaluating the need for, and amount of, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets often requires significant judgment and extensive analysis of all available evidence on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Such judgments require us to interpret existing tax law and other published guidance as applied to our circumstances. As part of this assessment, we consider both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of positive and negative evidence must be commensurate with the extent to which the strength of the evidence can be objectively verified. In our assessment during the fourth quarter of 2020, we heavily weighted the positive evidence of 1) large positive earnings realized in recent quarters combined with the upward financial trends of current period; and 2) future realization of the existing U.S. deferred tax assets. Given our recent improved financial performance along with the sustained cumulative accounting profit in 2020, we projected a positive forecasted taxable income in the U.S. Accordingly, we determined that a portion of our U.S. domestic valuation allowance was no longer required and released $1.3 million of valuation allowance which was primarily against the U.S. state net operating loss carryforward deferred tax assets as we expect to utilize the portion of the remaining U.S state net operating loss carry forwards before its expirations. The amount is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we had a valuation allowance against net deferred income tax assets of $27.0 million. Of the valuation allowance, $26.1 million relates to the aforementioned domestic capital losses and $0.7 million relates 67 Table of Contents to state tax credit carryforwards and state net operating loss carryforwards as we currently do not anticipate generating income of appropriate character to utilize those deferred tax assets. The remainder of $0.2 million relates to certain foreign intangible assets which are not more likely than not to be realized due the indefinite nature of the deferred tax assets. Should it be determined in the future that it is more likely than not that our domestic deferred income tax assets will be realized, an additional valuation allowance would be released during the period in which such an assessment is made. Income Tax Carryforwards As of December 31, 2020, we had the following income tax carryforwards (in millions): Net operating loss carryforwards U.S. state Capital loss carryforwards U.S federal and state Income tax credit carryforwards U.S. state Amount Expires in $ $ $ 19.0 2021 - 2039 103.9 2025 0.4 2021 - 2022 The timing and manner in which we are permitted to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, Limitation on Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards and Certain Built-in-Losses Following Ownership Change. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Following is a reconciliation of gross unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions, excluding the impact of penalties and interest (in thousands): Balance, January 1 Additions for tax positions taken in prior years Reductions for tax positions taken in prior years Additions for tax positions related to the current year Lapses of statutes of limitations Other Balance, December 31 2020 2019 2018 $ $ 2,338 4 — 109 (20) (108) 2,323 $ $ 2,330 44 (81) 87 (42) — 2,338 $ $ 2,194 41 (4) 116 (12) (5) 2,330 Of the $2.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions outstanding as of December 31, 2020, $2.3 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. We recorded tax-related interest and penalty expense of $0.4 million for both 2020 and 2019 and $0.3 million for 2018. We had a cumulative liability for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2008 through 2020 are open to review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Our state income tax returns for 2008 through 2020 are open to review, depending on the respective statute of limitation in each state. In addition, we file income tax returns in several non-U.S. jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. As of December 31, 2020, we believe it is reasonably likely that, within the next twelve months, $1.0 million of the previously unrecognized tax benefits related to certain non-U.S. filing positions may be recognized due to the expirations of the statutes of limitations and an anticipated deregistration of a certain foreign entity.

The 2015 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and authorizes us to grant various types of stock-based awards including: stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs. Stock options granted under the 2015 Plan shall not have an exercise price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of a stock option or stock appreciation right may not be reduced without shareholder approval. Stock options generally vest over periods of three or four years of continuous service, commencing on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 2015 Plan have a seven-year contractual term. Upon adoption, there were approximately 4.8 million shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance upon adoption of the 2015 Plan included new shares approved, plus any shares of common stock which were previously reserved for issuance under our preceding plan that were not subject to grant as of April 28, 2015, or as to which the stock-based compensation award is forfeited on or after April 28, 2015. The number of shares available for issuance is reduced by (i) two shares for each share delivered in settlement of any stock appreciation rights, RSA, RSU or PSU awards, and (ii) one share for each share delivered in settlement of a stock option award. In no event shall more than 1.0 million aggregate shares of common stock subject to stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSA, RSU or PSU awards be granted to any one participant in any one year under the 2015 Plan. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, As Amended On May 1, 2020, Nautilus shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2015 Plan (the "Amended 2015 Plan"). Prior to the amendment, there were approximately 4.8 million shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan, 3.5 million shares originally reserved under the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan and 1.3 million shares of common stock authorized under the 2015 Plan. The Amended 2015 Plan added an additional 2.0 million shares to be reserved for issuance. Upon adoption, there were approximately 6.8 million shares available for issuance under the Amended 2015 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or stock unit awards which may be granted to any one participant in any one year under the Amended 2015 Plan is 1.0 million. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the Amended 2015 Plan will be reduced by one and half (1.5) shares for each share delivered in settlement of any stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted 69 Table of Contents stock unit or performance unit award, and one (1) share for each share delivered in settlement of a stock option award. At December 31, 2020, we had 1.8 million shares available for future grant under our Amended 2015 Plan, and a total of 4.6 million shares of our common stock are reserved for future issuance pursuant to awards currently outstanding under the Amended 2015 Plan and our previous plan combined.

In May 2020, we granted PSU awards to certain of our executive officers and management team covering a total of 262,999 shares of our common stock. The PSUs vest based on achievement of the goal that measures our relative total shareholder return against pre-approved peers three-year performance period ending May 5, 2023. The number of shares that ultimately vest following conclusion of the performance period will be determined based on the level at which the financial goals are achieved. The number of shares vesting can range from 60% of the PSU awards if minimum thresholds are achieved to a maximum of 150%. These awards are expected to vest at 100% achievement. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 263,000 PSU shares remained, net of actual forfeitures to date. 71 Table of Contents Following is a summary of PSU activity (shares in thousands): Outstanding at December 31, 2019 Granted and additional goal shares awarded Forfeited, canceled or expired Vested Outstanding at December 31, 2020 PSUs Outstanding Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share 115 $ 263 (55) — 323 $ 14.57 6.64 17.49 — 7.62 6 292 1,527 52 104 1,981 2018 1,451 655 614 Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense, primarily included in general and administrative expense, was as follows (in thousands): 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Stock options RSAs RSUs PSUs ESPP Certain other information regarding our stock-based compensation was as follows (in thousands): Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised Fair value of RSUs vested Fair value of PSUs vested $ $ $ 182 478 2,533 383 158 3,734 $ $ 61 289 609 (410) 70 619 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 $ 66 6,662 — 84 354 — $ $ $ As of December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding, but unvested stock-based awards was $7.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.3 to 1.8 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On April 28, 2015, our shareholders approved our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount using payroll deductions. The ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 0.5 million shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events. Pursuant to the ESPP, and subject to certain limitations specified therein, eligible employees may elect to purchase shares of our common stock in one or more of a series of offerings conducted pursuant to the procedures set forth in the ESPP at a purchase price equal to 90% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period. Offering periods commence on May 15 and November 15 of each year and are six-months in duration, with the exception of the first offering period in 2015, which was a four-month offering. Purchases under the ESPP may be made exclusively through payroll deductions. Persons eligible to participate in the ESPP generally include employees who have been employed for at least 12 months prior to the applicable offering date and who, immediately upon purchasing shares under the ESPP, would own directly or indirectly, an aggregate of less than 5% of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of our common stock. Compensation expense for the ESPP is recognized over the six-month offering period based on the total estimated participant contributions and number of shares expected to be purchased. 72 Table of Contents ESPP activity was as follows (shares in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2019 Employee shares purchased Balance at December 31, 2020 Shares Available for Issuance Weighted- Average Purchase Price Weighted-Average Discount per Share 293 (94) $ 199 2.71 $ 8.15 Assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock option grants and employee stock purchases were as follows: Dividend yield Risk-free interest rate Expected life (years) Expected volatility 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 ESPP —% 0.9% N/A 132% Options —% 1.5% N/A 64% ESPP —% 2.3% N/A 64% Options —% 1.8% 5 55% ESPP —% 1.7% N/A 40% 2018 Options —% —% N/A —% Dividend yield is based on our current expectation that no dividend payments will be made in future periods. Risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rate, as of the grant date, for issues having a term approximately equal to the expected life of the stock option. For the ESPP, it is the U.S. Treasury six-month constant maturities rate, as of the offering date. Expected life is the period of time over which stock options are expected to remain outstanding. We calculate expected term based on the average of the sum of the vesting periods and the full contractual term. Expected volatility is the percentage amount by which the price of our common stock is expected to fluctuate annually during the estimated expected life for stock options. Expected price volatility is calculated using historical daily closing prices over a period matching the weighted-average expected life for stock options, as management believes such changes are the best indicator of future volatility. For the ESPP, expected volatility is the percentage amount by which the price of our common stock is expected to fluctuate semi-annually during the offering period. (19) INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted per share amounts were calculated using the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding increased by dilutive potential common shares related to stock-based awards, as determined by the treasury stock method. Basic income per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share amounts were calculated using the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding increased by dilutive potential common shares related to stock-based awards, as determined by the treasury stock method The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding used to compute income (loss) per share amounts were as follows (in thousands): Shares used for basic per share calculations Dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs, and PSUs Shares used for diluted per share calculations 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 30,007 2,116 32,123 29,684 — 29,684 2018 30,099 256 30,355 The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding listed in the table below were dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted per share when there is a loss from continuing operations, as such, the exercise or 73 Table of Contents conversion of any potential shares would increase the number of shares in the denominator and results in a lower income (loss). These shares may be dilutive potential common shares in the future (in thousands): Stock options RSUs 2020 As of December 31, 2019 2018 — — 96 257 — — The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding listed in the table below were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per share. In the case of RSUs, this is because unrecognized compensation expense exceeds the current value of the awards (i.e., grant date market value was higher than current average market price). In the case of stock options, this is because the average market price did not exceed the exercise price. These shares may be anti-dilutive potential common shares in the future (in thousands): Stock options RSUs (20) 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN 2020 14 11 As of December 31, 2019 76 228 2018 10 1 We sponsor a 401(k) savings plan that allows eligible employees to contribute a certain percentage of their salary. Employees are automatically enrolled within the first month of employment and have the ability to opt out. As a safe harbor plan sponsor, we are subject to non-discretionary matching contributions. Currently, we match 100% of the employee's first 1% of eligible pay contributed plus 50% of eligible pay contributed on the next 5%, for a maximum employer matching of 3.5%. Employees vest in the employer matching portions at 25% after the first year of employment, and 100% after two years of employment. Our matching contributions for the savings plan were as follows (in thousands): 401(k) matching contributions (21) SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE INFORMATION 2020 Year ended December 31, 2019 2018 $ 1,086 $ 976 $ 1,105 We have two operating segments - Direct and Retail. There have been no changes in our operating segments during the year ended December 31, 2020. We evaluate performance using several factors, of which the primary financial measures are net sales and reportable segment contribution. Contribution is the measure of profit or loss, defined as net sales less product costs and directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses that are directly related to segment operations. Segment assets are those directly assigned to an operating segment's operations, primarily accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets. Unallocated assets primarily include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, derivative securities, shared information technology infrastructure, distribution centers, corporate headquarters, prepaids and other current assets, deferred income tax assets and other assets. Capital expenditures directly attributable to the Direct and Retail segments were not significant in any period. 74 Table of Contents Following is summary information by reportable segment (in thousands): Net Sales: Direct Retail Unallocated royalty Consolidated net sales Contribution: Direct Retail Unallocated royalty Consolidated contribution Reconciliation of consolidated contribution to income (loss) from continuing operations: Consolidated contribution Amounts not directly related to segments: Operating expenses Other expense, net Income tax expense (benefit) Income (loss) from continuing operations Depreciation and amortization expense: Direct Retail Unallocated corporate Total depreciation and amortization expense Assets: Direct Retail Unallocated corporate Total assets 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 240,926 308,036 3,598 552,560 59,976 62,782 3,598 126,356 $ $ $ $ 119,651 186,584 3,050 309,285 (24,569) 16,043 3,050 (5,476) $ $ $ $ 184,925 208,092 3,736 396,753 6,865 31,516 3,733 42,114 126,356 $ (5,476) $ 42,114 (48,547) (5,074) 12,198 60,537 5,071 3,574 803 9,448 $ $ $ (95,068) (1,288) (9,537) (92,295) 2,919 5,657 2,235 10,811 $ $ $ (21,345) 232 5,891 15,110 1,537 5,098 2,307 8,942 As of December 31, 2020 2019 45,516 141,247 131,354 318,117 $ $ 47,377 148,965 24,137 220,479 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ There are no material long-lived assets held outside of the U.S. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, each of Amazon.com and Dick's Sporting Goods accounted for more than 10% of total net sales as follows: Amazon.com Dick's Sporting Goods 2020 17.1 % 10.2 % Year Ended December 31, 2019 15.2 % 11.7 % 2018 11.5 % 13.8 % 75 Table of Contents (22) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating leases We lease property and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases which, in the aggregate, extend through 2029. Many of these leases contain renewal options and provide for rent escalations and payment of real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses of the properties. For additional information related to leases, see Note 10, Leases. Guarantees, Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have long lead times for inventory purchases and, therefore, must secure factory capacity from our vendors in advance. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $165.7 million compared to $28.4 million as of December 31, 2019 in non-cancelable market-based purchase obligations, primarily for inventory purchases expected to be received within the next twelve months. Purchase obligations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and versus the same period in prior years due to a number of factors, including the number of products that are shipped directly to Retail customer warehouses versus through Nautilus warehouses. As of December 31, 2020, we had no outstanding letters of credit with any of our vendors. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that require us to indemnify counterparties against third-party claims. These may include: agreements with vendors and suppliers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from use of their products or services; agreements with customers, under which we may indemnify them against claims arising from their use or sale of our products; real estate and equipment leases, under which we may indemnify lessors against third-party claims relating to the use of their property; agreements with licensees or licensors, under which we may indemnify the licensee or licensor against claims arising from their use of our intellectual property or our use of their intellectual property; and agreements with parties to debt arrangements, under which we may indemnify them against claims relating to their participation in the transactions. The nature and terms of these indemnification obligations vary from contract to contract, and generally a maximum obligation is not stated within the agreements. We hold insurance policies that mitigate potential losses arising from certain types of indemnification obligations. Management does not deem these obligations to be significant to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows and, therefore, no related liabilities were recorded as of December 31, 2020. Legal Matters From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. These legal proceedings involve uncertainty as to the eventual outcomes and losses which may be realized when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Litigation and jury verdicts are, to some degree, inherently unpredictable, and although we have determined that a loss is not probable in connection with any current legal proceeding, it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred in connection with proceedings to which we are a party. Assessment of whether incurrence of a loss is probable, or a reasonable possibility, in connection with a particular proceeding, and estimation of the loss, or a range of loss, involves complex judgments and numerous uncertainties. Management is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses related to litigation in which the damages sought are indeterminate, or the legal and factual basis for the relevant claims have not been developed with specificity. As such, zero liability is recorded as of December 31, 2020. We regularly monitor our estimated exposure to these contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, may change our estimates accordingly. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss probable or reasonably possible, and whether the amount of a probable or reasonably possible loss is estimable. Among other factors, we evaluate the advice of internal and external counsel, the outcomes from similar litigation, current status of the lawsuits (including settlement initiatives), legislative developments and other factors. Due to the numerous variables associated with these judgments and assumptions, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related loss contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings. 76 Table of Contents (23) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited) The following table summarizes our unaudited quarterly financial data for 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts): 2020 Net sales Gross profit Operating (loss) income Income (loss) from continuing operations Loss from discontinued operations Net income (loss) Net income (loss) per share: (1) Basic Diluted (4) 2019 Net sales Gross profit Operating (loss) income (Loss) income from continuing operations Loss from discontinued operations Net (loss) income Net (loss) income per share: (2) (3) Basic Diluted March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31 Total Quarter Ended $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 93,722 35,597 (560) 2,302 (118) 2,184 0.07 0.07 84,400 35,842 (10,167) (8,484) (91) (8,575) $ $ $ 114,188 47,396 (7,106) (4,986) (124) (5,110) (0.17) (0.17) 59,004 17,517 (85,414) (78,744) (124) (78,868) $ $ $ 155,391 67,938 43,995 33,969 (131) 33,838 1.13 1.04 61,708 19,067 (8,253) (8,730) (114) (8,844) $ $ $ 189,259 77,871 41,480 29,252 (316) 28,936 0.96 0.89 104,173 38,157 3,290 3,663 (176) 3,487 (0.29) (0.29) $ (2.66) (2.66) $ (0.30) (0.30) $ $ 0.12 0.12 552,560 228,802 77,809 60,537 (689) 59,848 1.99 1.86 309,285 110,583 (100,544) (92,295) (505) (92,800) (3.13) (3.13) (1) (2) (3) (4) Operating (loss) income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 included a $29.0 million non-cash loss on disposal group and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 included an $8.3 million non-cash gain on disposal group. Operating (loss) income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 included a $72.0 million non-cash goodwill and other intangible impairment charge. (Loss) income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 includes an immaterial correction to reduce income tax expense and the valuation allowance by $1.8 million. The correction reflects the impact of 2017 tax reform associated with the application of indefinite-lived deferred taxes to properly calculate the valuation allowance.

Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of December 31, 2020, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2020 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: • • • Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management's Assessment Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, which appears in Part II, Item 8 of this report. Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 78 Table of Contents Item 9B.

(the “Company,” “we” or “our”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: our common stock (the “Common Stock”). The following description of our Common Stock is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein, and to the applicable provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act (“WBCA”), Title 23B of the Revised Code of Washington. Authorized Capital Shares Our authorized capital shares consist of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock). Common Stock Voting Rights The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by the shareholders, including the election of directors. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Dividend Rights The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Liquidation Rights The holders of Common Stock will share ratably in all assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders in the event of dissolution. Other Rights and Preferences Our Common Stock has no sinking fund or redemption provisions or preemptive, conversion or exchange rights. Holders of Common Stock may act by unanimous written consent. Anti-Takeover Provisions The provisions of Washington law could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. We are subject to the WBCA which imposes restrictions on certain transactions between a corporation and certain significant shareholders. The WBCA generally prohibits a “target corporation” (as defined in the WBCA) from engaging in certain significant business transactions with an “acquiring EXHIBIT 4.1 person,” which is defined as a person or group of persons that beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting securities of the target corporation, for a period of five years after such acquisition, unless the transaction or acquisition of shares is approved (1) prior to the time of the acquisition, by a majority of the members of the target corporation’s board of directors or (2) at or subsequent to the acquiring person’s share acquisition time, by a majority of the members of the target corporation’s board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting shares, except for shares beneficially owned by or under the voting control of the acquiring person. Such prohibited transactions include, among other things: • • • a merger or consolidation with, disposition of assets to, or issuance or redemption of stock to or from the acquiring person; termination of 5% or more of the employees of the target corporation employed in Washington, whether at one time or over a five-year period as a result of the acquiring person’s acquisition of 10% or more of the shares; or allowing the acquiring person to receive any disproportionate benefit as a shareholder. After the five-year period, a “significant business transaction” may occur if it complies with “fair price” provisions specified in the statute or are approved at an annual or special meeting of shareholders by a majority of the outstanding shares other than those of which the acquiring person has beneficial ownership. As a result, Chapter 23B.19 of the WBCA could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control. Transfer Agent and Registrar Our transfer agent and registrar is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Listing Our Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “NLS.” Exhibit 10.17             SUBSIDIARIES OF NAUTILUS, INC.
