What did TRNR announce on March 11 about Ergatta and guidance?
TRNR announced that it has completed its acquisition of Ergatta, Inc., the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. The signing of the acquisition was announced in February and the closing of this transaction significantly strengthens TRNR's portfolio of brands and accelerates both its top- and bottom-line growth. The company also confirmed its increased 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million.
What are the key points from the announcement?
Our release focuses on five key points for shareholders:
(1) TRNR completed the Ergatta acquisition on schedule.
(2) TRNR confirmed 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of $30 million or more.
(3) Ergatta's 2026 revenue is expected to exceed $10 million with approximately 30% EBITDA margin.
(4) TRNR received $6.4 million from Sportstech on March 4th and paid $1.8 million to Ergatta shareholders to close the acquisition.
(5) Ergatta is expected to generate cashflow for TRNR in 2026 in excess of the closing cash consideration paid.
What does it mean that Ergatta will generate more cash than TRNR paid?
TRNR paid $1.8 million in cash to Ergatta shareholders to close the deal, and that TRNR expects to receive more than $1.8 million in cashflow from the operations of Ergatta in 2026, such that the acquisition is accretive to group cashflow this year. It reduces any need for dilutive capital and strengthens TRNR's path to profitability.
WHO IS ERGATTA
-
What does Ergatta do?
Ergatta makes premium rowing machines with embedded game-based fitness content. Its platform delivers personalized, highly interactive workout experiences designed to build lasting fitness habits through games rather than instructor-led classes. The company is described as the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Importantly it is an asset-light, subscription-based business (see Q’s below), which means that it can grow very cost-efficiently.
How big is Ergatta's business, and how stable is it?
Ergatta is expected to generate revenue of more than $10 million in 2026. Approximately 70% of that revenue comes from recurring subscriptions, which provides high revenue visibility. The company has a monthly net retention rate of more than 98% - the highest in the connected fitness industry, according to its own reporting.
Why is Ergatta's business model unusually profitable for the fitness industry?
Ergatta operates an asset-light model. It effectively buys finished hardware made in the US and installs its software rather than manufacturing, so it does not carry inventory risk or capital-intensive production costs. Combined with approximately 70% recurring subscription revenue, the result is approximately 30% EBITDA margins - which is exceptional for a connected fitness business.
Has Ergatta's game-based platform been validated beyond its own hardware?
Yes. iFIT - one of the largest fitness equipment brands in the world - has licensed Ergatta's game-based platform and uses it on its own hardware. That is an important data point: a major incumbent in the fitness industry chose to license Ergatta's content rather than develop its own, which speaks to the quality and differentiation of the platform.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR TRNR IN 2026
-
What is TRNR's updated 2026 revenue guidance, and what drives it?
TRNR confirms 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million. That is more than 2.5x expected 2025 revenue. The guidance is driven by two main contributors: continued Wattbike performance, and Ergatta's expected contribution of more than $10 million in revenue. The guidance does not include any revenue from the recovery of the Sportstech loan as this is not revenue.
The release mentions catalysts from the TRNR February 2026 investor presentation - what were they?
In its February 2026 investor presentation, TRNR identified three key catalysts for the year, which were closing the Ergatta acquisition, recovering capital from Sportstech and Wattbike performance. Two of the three have now been delivered: the completion of the Ergatta acquisition, and the receipt of $6.4 million from Sportstech. Wattbike continues to perform and that expected improvement will begin to show up in the published financials throughout 2026.
How does TRNR view Ergatta's role in its path to profitability?
The acquisition is a major step towards TRNR's near-term objective of profitability through increased scale as well as operating leverage. Beyond the top-line contribution, Ergatta's approximately 30% EBITDA margin profile means it is expected to contribute meaningful operating cash flow - not just revenue. TRNR expects to receive more cashflow from Ergatta in 2026 than the $1.8 million cash consideration paid at closing, and the top end of the Ergatta earn-out is approximately $4.0 million in EBITDA.
How is TRNR funding its 2026 operations?
TRNR's existing operations will be supported significantly by Ergatta's expected cashflow and with the $6.4 million received from Sportstech last week. The closing cash consideration for Ergatta was funded through TRNR's cash on hand prior to the transaction - no new equity was raised to complete the deal and TRNR has no need to raise financing in the near-term as there is cash runway.
WHAT LEADERSHIP SAID
-
What did TRNR CEO say about the close?
Ward said: “The beginning of March has been exciting for TRNR, as we delivered on two of the three key catalysts that we outlined in our February investor presentation. We received $6.4 million from Sportstech, closing that chapter with a positive return that allows us to invest into our growing businesses without additional dilution, and we completed the acquisition of Ergatta as we said we would.” He added that Ergatta is a very strong brand and business, and that TRNR expects it to be immediately accretive to TRNR's financials and product experience.
What did Ergatta CEO say?
Aulet said: “Our team is very proud that we've built the most engaging fitness content platform in the world, and we've done it profitably.” He described joining TRNR as the right next step for the business and highlighted the opportunity to grow the Ergatta gaming experience across other hardware brands.
What was shared about the plans for Ergatta's gaming platform across TRNR brands?
There is strategic rationale beyond financial accretion: Ergatta's gaming experience has already been licensed by iFIT, and TRNR plans to add that experience to Wattbike and CLMBR. He also noted that the Ergatta team has strong customer acquisition capabilities and is expected to help drive US revenue growth for TRNR's brands. TRNR CEO summarized the acquisition philosophy: “As with all of our acquisitions, we are focused on minimizing near-term dilution and protecting downside with transaction valuation tied to future performance, while generating incremental upside from group synergies.”
TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
-
What did TRNR acquire, and at what price?
TRNR acquired 100% of Ergatta, Inc. The base transaction value is $8.8 million, comprising three components: $1.8 million in cash consideration paid at close, $1.8 million in assumed debt, and $5.3 million in equity that is locked up until May 2027.
Assuming full achievement of both years' earn-outs, the maximum enterprise value would be $19.5 million, primarily through an increase in equity granted in May 2027 and May 2028. The upper 2026 EBITDA earn-out threshold is approximately $4.0 million. If fully achieved across 2026 and 2027, TRNR expects the purchase multiple to be less than 5.0x EBITDA before any group synergies. The structure means TRNR only pays maximum value if Ergatta delivers maximum results.
How was the $1.8 million cash payment funded?
The initial cash consideration was funded through TRNR's cash on hand prior to the transaction. No new equity was raised to complete the deal.
When is the equity component of the deal unlocked?
The equity component is locked up until May 2027 and there is another small piece related to Ergatta management in May 2028.
Who is leading Ergatta after the acquisition?
Ergatta's founders and key management team members have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business post-acquisition. Tom Aulet, Co-Founder and CEO of Ergatta, and Alessandra Gotbaum, C0-Founder and COO, both signed new employment agreements and confirmed their commitment to executing as part of TRNR.
THE SPORTSTECH RECOVERY
-
Has the Sportstech matter now been resolved?
Yes. TRNR recovered $6.4 million from Sportstech - comprising $5.0 million in principal and $1.4 million in interest and expenses - closing the enforcement proceedings. The recovery was received as non-dilutive capital and will support TRNR operations throughout 2026, which greatly reduces any additional equity issuance.
Was the Sportstech recovery included in TRNR's 2026 revenue guidance?
No. TRNR's 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million does not include any Sportstech recovery as its not revenue. TRNR CEO described the recovery as allowing TRNR to invest into its growing businesses without additional dilution.

SPORTSTECH Loan Recovery
-
TRNR previously said the balance owed was approximately $6.8 million. The settlement was $6.4 million. Did TRNR accept less than it was owed?
The $6.8 million figure represented the full outstanding balance including default interest and fees continuing to accrue through the enforcement process. The $6.4 million settlement represents the full recovery of the $5.0 million principal advanced, plus interest and legal fees for enforcement. TRNR management determined that the cost/benefit analysis of accepting $6.4 million as a negotiated resolution today was a better option for TRNR shareholders given there would have been incremental legal costs and more time to achieve a potentially higher settlement, and there are higher return opportunities to invest in TRNR’s businesses now. While TRNR is not a lender, the settlement amount could be evaluated as a double digit return on capital after all expenses, which is a successful outcome for shareholders.
Why didn't TRNR proceed with the auction and try to acquire Sportstech or sell it for more than the settlement?
These outcomes were theoretically attractive and TRNR was fully prepared to acquire Sportstech or have another bidder acquire the business and receive the proceeds, but TRNR management determined that the settlement was the best path for shareholders. There were some risks and unknowns with the auction path and we determined that there were much more certain results by receiving immediate, non-dilutive cash in hand as it allows us to invest in the businesses we own and are acquiring without raising any additional capital in the near-term. Simply, we chose the lower risk, but still very attractive outcome, as compared to the highly levered, but riskier, path.
This is the same approach we use when acquiring businesses or analyzing opportunities - managed downside and uncapped upside. We are not gamblers and are looking for asymmetric payoffs in our favor. And, importantly, this resolution removes a significant distraction and allows management to focus where it should be: closing and integrating Ergatta, accelerating Wattbike's commercial momentum, and demonstrating the operating leverage that drives the 2026 growth plan.
Why did Sportstech suddenly come up with $6.4 million now, after months of disputing that it owed anything?
Sportstech did not deny that they owed us at least the capital we lent them, but they were trying to get out of the deal they signed with respect to the interest and fees. We structured the loan to have a high return, knowing that if we were being repaid, it would mean that we were not closing the acquisition and likely could have significant broken deal costs. In the end, this is what occurred and our structure protected our shareholders by allowing us to recover our capital and more than cover our transaction costs.
As to the timing of the settlement, our view is that there was a greater ability to pay than a willingness to pay, and ultimately the legal proceedings forced their hand. We know Sportstech had some capital in December, but its cash conversion cycle is such that their highest amount of cash is in February and March. This business reality coincided with the Berlin court denying all attempts by Sportstech to stop the share auction on March 11 and they reached out to settle almost immediately.
That outcome validated what TRNR said from the beginning: the agreements were legally sound, the money was owed, and enforcement would succeed. It also further validates that Sportstech's series of public statements disputing the loan's legitimacy were misleading - a pattern that has been consistent since December 2025 - and unfortunately, we believe our shareholders have been impacted by.
Does this settlement fully resolve TRNR's relationship with Sportstech? Are there any remaining claims or obligations?
Yes, the settlement is complete and total. The settlement resolves all claims arising from the Loan Agreements and the Share Pledge Agreement. The public auction of Sportstech shares scheduled for March 11, 2026 has been cancelled. All lawsuits are being withdrawn. TRNR retains no ownership interest in or involvement with Sportstech. The TRNR micro site on Sportstech will be minimized.
How will the $6.4 million be used?
The settlement proceeds are expected to be invested to grow the equity value of TRNR. We expect to use some of the proceeds to close the acquisition of Ergatta, we will invest in Wattbike’s growth and we expect to have real operating runway as we approach profitability such that we do not expect to raise capital in the near-term. This settlement proceeds are not dilutive, i.e. TRNR received these funds without issuing new shares or taking on new debt, and we are focused on minimizing dilution while we grow equity.

THE ERGATTA ACQUISITION
-
What is Ergatta and why is TRNR acquiring it?
Ergatta is the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Its digital subscription has best-in-class retention - 98.3% monthly - and the business is profitable, with approximately 30% EBITDA margins expected in 2026. Unlike most connected fitness companies, Ergatta runs an asset-light model: it buys finished hardware and installs its software experience, as well as licenses its game-based software platform to partners such as iFIT, so it generates revenue without the capital intensity of manufacturing hardware. Ergatta adds a fourth brand to TRNR’s portfolio, expands our content and software capabilities, and - critically - brings profitable, cash-generating operations that improve our overall margin profile as we scale.
What are the deal terms?
Base enterprise value is $8.8 million: $1.8 million in cash, $1.8 million in seller notes, and $5.3 million in TRNR equity that is locked up until May 2027. Maximum enterprise value is $19.5 million, with earnouts tied to 2026 and 2027 EBITDA, and the total valuation is expected to be less than 5.0x EBITDA. Less than 10% of the total deal value is funded at closing. The structure is performance-linked and protects TRNR shareholders - Ergatta’s team has to deliver results before the full value is paid, but it will still be an attractive price.
What does this deal do for TRNR’s revenue and profitability?
Ergatta is expected to contribute more than $10 million in revenue in 2026 at approximately 30% EBITDA margins. Combined with TRNR’s standalone guidance of more than $20 million, pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is now more than $30 million - more than 2.5x 2025 expected revenue. Ergatta is expected to be immediately accretive and cash-flow-positive in 2026. That is a meaningful step toward the operating leverage TRNR needs to fund growth without relying on equity capital.
When does the deal close?
We expect to close in Q1 2026. The definitive agreement has been signed. Closing is subject to customary conditions.
How does Ergatta fit with the other brands?
Ergatta’s game-based content platform is licensable and can be deployed across TRNR’s other brands, especially Wattbike and CLMBR, creating cross-brand content and engagement opportunities. The Ergatta team brings software and content capabilities that complement our hardware and performance expertise. And the Ergatta team brings a very strong capability in digital customer acquisition that should help drive growth in that channel for Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME.

SPORTSTECH ENFORCEMENT
-
What happened with the Sportstech deal?
As part of a potential acquisition, TRNR signed a binding transaction agreement with Sportstech in February 2025 and provided approximately $5 million in working capital loans secured by a pledge of 100% of the company shares and a personal guarantee by the CEO. After dragging out the acquisition closing, Sportstech issued misleading public statements in December 2025 to attack TRNR shareholders, and is contesting the amount due under the loan, which was due on December 30, 2025. There is no dispute that the $5 million was borrowed and is owed, but Sportstech is trying to avoid paying interest despite the agreements having been prepared by a top tier law firm in Germany and the agreements were notarized with the Sportstech CEO’s signature. TRNR has initiated all appropriate enforcement proceedings on multiple fronts, as detailed in our microsite.
How much does Sportstech owe TRNR?
As there is default interest continuing to accrue, the balance is approximately $6.8 million including principal, accrued interest, and fees. Sportstech acknowledges owing $5 million in principal but disputes certain interest components. TRNR has indicated privately and publicly that it would accept the $5 million and continue negotiating about the interest. Despite also offering privately to move forward on a similar basis, Sportstech has provided no such funds and continued to issue misleading statements that appear to have no purpose beyond destroying TRNR shareholder value.
What is TRNR doing to recover the money?
We are pursuing enforcement on multiple fronts. First, we have initiated a public auction of 100% of Ali Ahmad’s pledged shares in Sportstech, scheduled for March 11, 2026, as we are entitled to do under Clauses 11 and 12 of the Share Pledge Agreement filed with the SEC, and referenced on the microsite. Second, lawsuits have been filed in multiple German jurisdictions, as well as shared with Sportstech and its bank lenders. Finally, we remain in regular contact with Sportstech.
Sportstech disputes the basis for the loan. Is this accurate?
Every material agreement in this transaction was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Loan Agreement was reviewed by their own counsel, signed by Sportstech in front of a German notary, and the principal was fully disbursed. The Binding Transaction Agreement was filed as a Material Definitive Agreement in February 2025. These are executed, public documents - not drafts or discussion papers. Sportstech received the money. The loan terms are straightforward. We have published a comprehensive timeline with direct links to every SEC filing so shareholders can review the source documents themselves.
What does Sportstech recovery mean for shareholders?
The $6.8 million owed represents a multiple of TRNR’s current market capitalization. Recovery - whether through repayment or through the auction - would provide non-dilutive capital that extends our runway without borrowing capital or issuing additional shares. Our 2026 guidance of $30 million or more in pro forma revenue assumes zero Sportstech recovery. Any recovery is incremental upside to the growth story.

GUIDANCE & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue.
How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.
When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline. This occurred two days prior and we hoped the expected value accretion would have been reflected in the share price such that we would have been able to avoid the split. The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

February 23, 2026
SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026. We also expect to achieve profitability in the near-term and therefore capital raising could be limited to accretive acquisitions potentially in the future.
How many shares are outstanding?
As shared in the recent press release announcing the split, there were approximately 14.3 million shares as of February 19, which will consolidate to approximately 1.4 million shares post-split effective February 24, 2026. Outstanding warrants and convertible instruments are adjusted proportionally, so we do not expect to experience adverse impacts from the mechanics of the split.
What is the ATM program?
In January 2026, TRNR filed an at-the-market offering program with capacity of approximately $2.6 million through H.C. Wainwright. An ATM allows the company to sell shares into the open market over time at market prices, rather than in a single discounted offering, so there is often less dilution. It provides flexible access to working capital as needed, and is at management’s discretion.

Is Wattbike performing as expected now that it is consolidated?
Yes. Wattbike’s first full quarter of inclusion contributed meaningfully to TRNR’s 139% YoY revenue growth. The brand is performing in line with expectations across both elite performance and commercial channels, and the performance is improved as a result of the immediate changes we made to the cost structure after closing. We expect to be able to drive more synergies from the business during 2026 so that the financial contribution of the brand will be materially better than the business that we acquired.

What does it mean that Maxim initiated coverage of TRNR, and why is that important?
When a sell-side equity research firm begins covering a company, it assigns an analyst who regularly publishes ratings (e.g., Buy/Hold/Sell), share price targets and potentially financial models. These reports are read by portfolio managers, hedge-fund traders, and wealth-management advisers - people who decide where large blocks of capital go - so coverage can potentially:
- Increase institutional awareness and credibility. Professional investors often won’t look at a micro-cap until at least one independent analyst is on the name.
- Improve trading liquidity over time. More eyes on the story typically mean more daily volume, tighter bid/ask spreads, and easier execution for both small and large shareholders.
Who is Maxim Group?
Maxim Group LLC is a full-service investment bank and wealth-management firm headquartered in New York that focuses on emerging-growth companies linkedin.com. Its research team covers roughly 200 small- and mid-cap stocks across technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

(Updated June 27, 2025)
Why did TRNR carry out a reverse share split?
There is a Nasdaq continuing listing requirement that prohibits a listed company from having a closing bid price below $1.00 for 30 straight trading days. Despite our market cap growing this year -powered by two strategic acquisitions, 2025 revenue guidance of ~$75 million, adding $50 million to the balance sheet and an outlook for profitability in Q4 2025 - the share price stayed under that $1.00 threshold. The reverse split simply combined existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares so we remain in compliance and keep our Nasdaq listing. For example, you could have had 10 shares at $0.50 and now you would have 1 share of $5.00. It does not change your percentage ownership, the value of your holdings or the company’s fundamentals; it protects your investment so we can “harvest the expected future return on our current investments,” as our CEO wrote to shareholders earlier today. Bottom line, our listing is the mechanism for our acquisition-related growth and expansion - and this was solely an administrative exercise.

What is TRNR doing about the continued short selling pressure on its stock?
We remain aware of what appears to be persistent short selling pressure and the concerns it raises among our shareholders. While short interest is a feature of public markets, we take any indications of potential market manipulation seriously. We are actively monitoring trading activity, staying in close communication with regulators, and evaluating all available options to protect our investors and ensure a fair and orderly market. We are also encouraged by recent signs that ongoing positive business updates — including strong performance from our acquired businesses — are being reflected in improved support for the stock.

Wattbike Acquisition
What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Wattbike is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.
Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
How will all the tariffs impact this deal and the combined business - especially with all TRNR’s and Wattbike’s stated plans to expand across borders, e.g., sell more in the US?
TRNR and Wattbike management teams - like most businesses worldwide - are monitoring and adapting to all the shifts in international trade. There’s plenty of change and uncertainty. That said, what’s also true is that more than 75% of the combined company’s 2024 revenues are outside the US - insulating the business from US-specific protectionism to a degree and for a fair amount of time. And we also have US-based inventory for FORME/CLMBR that will fulfill 2025 revenue projections. Finally, the other reality is that a lot of business across both TRNR and Wattbike is B2B sales, which are more resilient in terms of tariff-driven price sensitivity than individual consumer purchases. Taken together, all these factors at minimum mean that we don’t expect our operations to be severely impacted by trade considerations in the near future.businesses in terms of accelerating what they already each were doing.
For TRNR, Wattbike adds a truly marquee brand and set of products to its performance-focused portfolio. Wattbike’s indoor cycling training platform is arguably the best in the world - leading gyms, healthcare facilities, universities, and even special forces military operations - along with every NHL team and many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and the Premier League - all use Wattbikes.
For Wattbike, the deal gives its latest product launches and renewed growth a larger platform for marketing and distribution that will dramatically and cost-effectively speed up expansion across key international markets, while staying true to Wattbike’s commitment to deliver world-class training solutions for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Forward Looking Statements:

What does Ergatta do?
Ergatta makes premium rowing machines with embedded game-based fitness content. Its platform delivers personalized, highly interactive workout experiences designed to build lasting fitness habits through games rather than instructor-led classes. The company is described as the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Importantly it is an asset-light, subscription-based business (see Q’s below), which means that it can grow very cost-efficiently.How big is Ergatta's business, and how stable is it?
Ergatta is expected to generate revenue of more than $10 million in 2026. Approximately 70% of that revenue comes from recurring subscriptions, which provides high revenue visibility. The company has a monthly net retention rate of more than 98% - the highest in the connected fitness industry, according to its own reporting.Why is Ergatta's business model unusually profitable for the fitness industry?
Ergatta operates an asset-light model. It effectively buys finished hardware made in the US and installs its software rather than manufacturing, so it does not carry inventory risk or capital-intensive production costs. Combined with approximately 70% recurring subscription revenue, the result is approximately 30% EBITDA margins - which is exceptional for a connected fitness business.Has Ergatta's game-based platform been validated beyond its own hardware?
Yes. iFIT - one of the largest fitness equipment brands in the world - has licensed Ergatta's game-based platform and uses it on its own hardware. That is an important data point: a major incumbent in the fitness industry chose to license Ergatta's content rather than develop its own, which speaks to the quality and differentiation of the platform.WHAT THIS MEANS FOR TRNR IN 2026
-
What is TRNR's updated 2026 revenue guidance, and what drives it?
TRNR confirms 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million. That is more than 2.5x expected 2025 revenue. The guidance is driven by two main contributors: continued Wattbike performance, and Ergatta's expected contribution of more than $10 million in revenue. The guidance does not include any revenue from the recovery of the Sportstech loan as this is not revenue.
The release mentions catalysts from the TRNR February 2026 investor presentation - what were they?
In its February 2026 investor presentation, TRNR identified three key catalysts for the year, which were closing the Ergatta acquisition, recovering capital from Sportstech and Wattbike performance. Two of the three have now been delivered: the completion of the Ergatta acquisition, and the receipt of $6.4 million from Sportstech. Wattbike continues to perform and that expected improvement will begin to show up in the published financials throughout 2026.
How does TRNR view Ergatta's role in its path to profitability?
The acquisition is a major step towards TRNR's near-term objective of profitability through increased scale as well as operating leverage. Beyond the top-line contribution, Ergatta's approximately 30% EBITDA margin profile means it is expected to contribute meaningful operating cash flow - not just revenue. TRNR expects to receive more cashflow from Ergatta in 2026 than the $1.8 million cash consideration paid at closing, and the top end of the Ergatta earn-out is approximately $4.0 million in EBITDA.
How is TRNR funding its 2026 operations?
TRNR's existing operations will be supported significantly by Ergatta's expected cashflow and with the $6.4 million received from Sportstech last week. The closing cash consideration for Ergatta was funded through TRNR's cash on hand prior to the transaction - no new equity was raised to complete the deal and TRNR has no need to raise financing in the near-term as there is cash runway.
WHAT LEADERSHIP SAID
-
What did TRNR CEO say about the close?
Ward said: “The beginning of March has been exciting for TRNR, as we delivered on two of the three key catalysts that we outlined in our February investor presentation. We received $6.4 million from Sportstech, closing that chapter with a positive return that allows us to invest into our growing businesses without additional dilution, and we completed the acquisition of Ergatta as we said we would.” He added that Ergatta is a very strong brand and business, and that TRNR expects it to be immediately accretive to TRNR's financials and product experience.
What did Ergatta CEO say?
Aulet said: “Our team is very proud that we've built the most engaging fitness content platform in the world, and we've done it profitably.” He described joining TRNR as the right next step for the business and highlighted the opportunity to grow the Ergatta gaming experience across other hardware brands.
What was shared about the plans for Ergatta's gaming platform across TRNR brands?
There is strategic rationale beyond financial accretion: Ergatta's gaming experience has already been licensed by iFIT, and TRNR plans to add that experience to Wattbike and CLMBR. He also noted that the Ergatta team has strong customer acquisition capabilities and is expected to help drive US revenue growth for TRNR's brands. TRNR CEO summarized the acquisition philosophy: “As with all of our acquisitions, we are focused on minimizing near-term dilution and protecting downside with transaction valuation tied to future performance, while generating incremental upside from group synergies.”
TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
-
What did TRNR acquire, and at what price?
TRNR acquired 100% of Ergatta, Inc. The base transaction value is $8.8 million, comprising three components: $1.8 million in cash consideration paid at close, $1.8 million in assumed debt, and $5.3 million in equity that is locked up until May 2027.
Assuming full achievement of both years' earn-outs, the maximum enterprise value would be $19.5 million, primarily through an increase in equity granted in May 2027 and May 2028. The upper 2026 EBITDA earn-out threshold is approximately $4.0 million. If fully achieved across 2026 and 2027, TRNR expects the purchase multiple to be less than 5.0x EBITDA before any group synergies. The structure means TRNR only pays maximum value if Ergatta delivers maximum results.
How was the $1.8 million cash payment funded?
The initial cash consideration was funded through TRNR's cash on hand prior to the transaction. No new equity was raised to complete the deal.
When is the equity component of the deal unlocked?
The equity component is locked up until May 2027 and there is another small piece related to Ergatta management in May 2028.
Who is leading Ergatta after the acquisition?
Ergatta's founders and key management team members have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business post-acquisition. Tom Aulet, Co-Founder and CEO of Ergatta, and Alessandra Gotbaum, C0-Founder and COO, both signed new employment agreements and confirmed their commitment to executing as part of TRNR.
THE SPORTSTECH RECOVERY
-
Has the Sportstech matter now been resolved?
Yes. TRNR recovered $6.4 million from Sportstech - comprising $5.0 million in principal and $1.4 million in interest and expenses - closing the enforcement proceedings. The recovery was received as non-dilutive capital and will support TRNR operations throughout 2026, which greatly reduces any additional equity issuance.
Was the Sportstech recovery included in TRNR's 2026 revenue guidance?
No. TRNR's 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million does not include any Sportstech recovery as its not revenue. TRNR CEO described the recovery as allowing TRNR to invest into its growing businesses without additional dilution.

SPORTSTECH Loan Recovery
-
TRNR previously said the balance owed was approximately $6.8 million. The settlement was $6.4 million. Did TRNR accept less than it was owed?
The $6.8 million figure represented the full outstanding balance including default interest and fees continuing to accrue through the enforcement process. The $6.4 million settlement represents the full recovery of the $5.0 million principal advanced, plus interest and legal fees for enforcement. TRNR management determined that the cost/benefit analysis of accepting $6.4 million as a negotiated resolution today was a better option for TRNR shareholders given there would have been incremental legal costs and more time to achieve a potentially higher settlement, and there are higher return opportunities to invest in TRNR’s businesses now. While TRNR is not a lender, the settlement amount could be evaluated as a double digit return on capital after all expenses, which is a successful outcome for shareholders.
Why didn't TRNR proceed with the auction and try to acquire Sportstech or sell it for more than the settlement?
These outcomes were theoretically attractive and TRNR was fully prepared to acquire Sportstech or have another bidder acquire the business and receive the proceeds, but TRNR management determined that the settlement was the best path for shareholders. There were some risks and unknowns with the auction path and we determined that there were much more certain results by receiving immediate, non-dilutive cash in hand as it allows us to invest in the businesses we own and are acquiring without raising any additional capital in the near-term. Simply, we chose the lower risk, but still very attractive outcome, as compared to the highly levered, but riskier, path.
This is the same approach we use when acquiring businesses or analyzing opportunities - managed downside and uncapped upside. We are not gamblers and are looking for asymmetric payoffs in our favor. And, importantly, this resolution removes a significant distraction and allows management to focus where it should be: closing and integrating Ergatta, accelerating Wattbike's commercial momentum, and demonstrating the operating leverage that drives the 2026 growth plan.
Why did Sportstech suddenly come up with $6.4 million now, after months of disputing that it owed anything?
Sportstech did not deny that they owed us at least the capital we lent them, but they were trying to get out of the deal they signed with respect to the interest and fees. We structured the loan to have a high return, knowing that if we were being repaid, it would mean that we were not closing the acquisition and likely could have significant broken deal costs. In the end, this is what occurred and our structure protected our shareholders by allowing us to recover our capital and more than cover our transaction costs.
As to the timing of the settlement, our view is that there was a greater ability to pay than a willingness to pay, and ultimately the legal proceedings forced their hand. We know Sportstech had some capital in December, but its cash conversion cycle is such that their highest amount of cash is in February and March. This business reality coincided with the Berlin court denying all attempts by Sportstech to stop the share auction on March 11 and they reached out to settle almost immediately.
That outcome validated what TRNR said from the beginning: the agreements were legally sound, the money was owed, and enforcement would succeed. It also further validates that Sportstech's series of public statements disputing the loan's legitimacy were misleading - a pattern that has been consistent since December 2025 - and unfortunately, we believe our shareholders have been impacted by.
Does this settlement fully resolve TRNR's relationship with Sportstech? Are there any remaining claims or obligations?
Yes, the settlement is complete and total. The settlement resolves all claims arising from the Loan Agreements and the Share Pledge Agreement. The public auction of Sportstech shares scheduled for March 11, 2026 has been cancelled. All lawsuits are being withdrawn. TRNR retains no ownership interest in or involvement with Sportstech. The TRNR micro site on Sportstech will be minimized.
How will the $6.4 million be used?
The settlement proceeds are expected to be invested to grow the equity value of TRNR. We expect to use some of the proceeds to close the acquisition of Ergatta, we will invest in Wattbike’s growth and we expect to have real operating runway as we approach profitability such that we do not expect to raise capital in the near-term. This settlement proceeds are not dilutive, i.e. TRNR received these funds without issuing new shares or taking on new debt, and we are focused on minimizing dilution while we grow equity.

THE ERGATTA ACQUISITION
-
What is Ergatta and why is TRNR acquiring it?
Ergatta is the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Its digital subscription has best-in-class retention - 98.3% monthly - and the business is profitable, with approximately 30% EBITDA margins expected in 2026. Unlike most connected fitness companies, Ergatta runs an asset-light model: it buys finished hardware and installs its software experience, as well as licenses its game-based software platform to partners such as iFIT, so it generates revenue without the capital intensity of manufacturing hardware. Ergatta adds a fourth brand to TRNR’s portfolio, expands our content and software capabilities, and - critically - brings profitable, cash-generating operations that improve our overall margin profile as we scale.
What are the deal terms?
Base enterprise value is $8.8 million: $1.8 million in cash, $1.8 million in seller notes, and $5.3 million in TRNR equity that is locked up until May 2027. Maximum enterprise value is $19.5 million, with earnouts tied to 2026 and 2027 EBITDA, and the total valuation is expected to be less than 5.0x EBITDA. Less than 10% of the total deal value is funded at closing. The structure is performance-linked and protects TRNR shareholders - Ergatta’s team has to deliver results before the full value is paid, but it will still be an attractive price.
What does this deal do for TRNR’s revenue and profitability?
Ergatta is expected to contribute more than $10 million in revenue in 2026 at approximately 30% EBITDA margins. Combined with TRNR’s standalone guidance of more than $20 million, pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is now more than $30 million - more than 2.5x 2025 expected revenue. Ergatta is expected to be immediately accretive and cash-flow-positive in 2026. That is a meaningful step toward the operating leverage TRNR needs to fund growth without relying on equity capital.
When does the deal close?
We expect to close in Q1 2026. The definitive agreement has been signed. Closing is subject to customary conditions.
How does Ergatta fit with the other brands?
Ergatta’s game-based content platform is licensable and can be deployed across TRNR’s other brands, especially Wattbike and CLMBR, creating cross-brand content and engagement opportunities. The Ergatta team brings software and content capabilities that complement our hardware and performance expertise. And the Ergatta team brings a very strong capability in digital customer acquisition that should help drive growth in that channel for Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME.

SPORTSTECH ENFORCEMENT
-
What happened with the Sportstech deal?
As part of a potential acquisition, TRNR signed a binding transaction agreement with Sportstech in February 2025 and provided approximately $5 million in working capital loans secured by a pledge of 100% of the company shares and a personal guarantee by the CEO. After dragging out the acquisition closing, Sportstech issued misleading public statements in December 2025 to attack TRNR shareholders, and is contesting the amount due under the loan, which was due on December 30, 2025. There is no dispute that the $5 million was borrowed and is owed, but Sportstech is trying to avoid paying interest despite the agreements having been prepared by a top tier law firm in Germany and the agreements were notarized with the Sportstech CEO’s signature. TRNR has initiated all appropriate enforcement proceedings on multiple fronts, as detailed in our microsite.
How much does Sportstech owe TRNR?
As there is default interest continuing to accrue, the balance is approximately $6.8 million including principal, accrued interest, and fees. Sportstech acknowledges owing $5 million in principal but disputes certain interest components. TRNR has indicated privately and publicly that it would accept the $5 million and continue negotiating about the interest. Despite also offering privately to move forward on a similar basis, Sportstech has provided no such funds and continued to issue misleading statements that appear to have no purpose beyond destroying TRNR shareholder value.
What is TRNR doing to recover the money?
We are pursuing enforcement on multiple fronts. First, we have initiated a public auction of 100% of Ali Ahmad’s pledged shares in Sportstech, scheduled for March 11, 2026, as we are entitled to do under Clauses 11 and 12 of the Share Pledge Agreement filed with the SEC, and referenced on the microsite. Second, lawsuits have been filed in multiple German jurisdictions, as well as shared with Sportstech and its bank lenders. Finally, we remain in regular contact with Sportstech.
Sportstech disputes the basis for the loan. Is this accurate?
Every material agreement in this transaction was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Loan Agreement was reviewed by their own counsel, signed by Sportstech in front of a German notary, and the principal was fully disbursed. The Binding Transaction Agreement was filed as a Material Definitive Agreement in February 2025. These are executed, public documents - not drafts or discussion papers. Sportstech received the money. The loan terms are straightforward. We have published a comprehensive timeline with direct links to every SEC filing so shareholders can review the source documents themselves.
What does Sportstech recovery mean for shareholders?
The $6.8 million owed represents a multiple of TRNR’s current market capitalization. Recovery - whether through repayment or through the auction - would provide non-dilutive capital that extends our runway without borrowing capital or issuing additional shares. Our 2026 guidance of $30 million or more in pro forma revenue assumes zero Sportstech recovery. Any recovery is incremental upside to the growth story.

GUIDANCE & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue.
How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.
When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline. This occurred two days prior and we hoped the expected value accretion would have been reflected in the share price such that we would have been able to avoid the split. The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026. We also expect to achieve profitability in the near-term and therefore capital raising could be limited to accretive acquisitions potentially in the future.
How many shares are outstanding?
As shared in the recent press release announcing the split, there were approximately 14.3 million shares as of February 19, which will consolidate to approximately 1.4 million shares post-split effective February 24, 2026. Outstanding warrants and convertible instruments are adjusted proportionally, so we do not expect to experience adverse impacts from the mechanics of the split.
What is the ATM program?
In January 2026, TRNR filed an at-the-market offering program with capacity of approximately $2.6 million through H.C. Wainwright. An ATM allows the company to sell shares into the open market over time at market prices, rather than in a single discounted offering, so there is often less dilution. It provides flexible access to working capital as needed, and is at management’s discretion.

Is Wattbike performing as expected now that it is consolidated?
Yes. Wattbike’s first full quarter of inclusion contributed meaningfully to TRNR’s 139% YoY revenue growth. The brand is performing in line with expectations across both elite performance and commercial channels, and the performance is improved as a result of the immediate changes we made to the cost structure after closing. We expect to be able to drive more synergies from the business during 2026 so that the financial contribution of the brand will be materially better than the business that we acquired.

What does it mean that Maxim initiated coverage of TRNR, and why is that important?
When a sell-side equity research firm begins covering a company, it assigns an analyst who regularly publishes ratings (e.g., Buy/Hold/Sell), share price targets and potentially financial models. These reports are read by portfolio managers, hedge-fund traders, and wealth-management advisers - people who decide where large blocks of capital go - so coverage can potentially:
- Increase institutional awareness and credibility. Professional investors often won’t look at a micro-cap until at least one independent analyst is on the name.
- Improve trading liquidity over time. More eyes on the story typically mean more daily volume, tighter bid/ask spreads, and easier execution for both small and large shareholders.
Who is Maxim Group?
Maxim Group LLC is a full-service investment bank and wealth-management firm headquartered in New York that focuses on emerging-growth companies linkedin.com. Its research team covers roughly 200 small- and mid-cap stocks across technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

(Updated June 27, 2025)
Why did TRNR carry out a reverse share split?
There is a Nasdaq continuing listing requirement that prohibits a listed company from having a closing bid price below $1.00 for 30 straight trading days. Despite our market cap growing this year -powered by two strategic acquisitions, 2025 revenue guidance of ~$75 million, adding $50 million to the balance sheet and an outlook for profitability in Q4 2025 - the share price stayed under that $1.00 threshold. The reverse split simply combined existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares so we remain in compliance and keep our Nasdaq listing. For example, you could have had 10 shares at $0.50 and now you would have 1 share of $5.00. It does not change your percentage ownership, the value of your holdings or the company’s fundamentals; it protects your investment so we can “harvest the expected future return on our current investments,” as our CEO wrote to shareholders earlier today. Bottom line, our listing is the mechanism for our acquisition-related growth and expansion - and this was solely an administrative exercise.

(Updated May 21, 2025)
What is TRNR doing about the continued short selling pressure on its stock?
We remain aware of what appears to be persistent short selling pressure and the concerns it raises among our shareholders. While short interest is a feature of public markets, we take any indications of potential market manipulation seriously. We are actively monitoring trading activity, staying in close communication with regulators, and evaluating all available options to protect our investors and ensure a fair and orderly market. We are also encouraged by recent signs that ongoing positive business updates — including strong performance from our acquired businesses — are being reflected in improved support for the stock.

Wattbike Acquisition
What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Wattbike is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.
Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
How will all the tariffs impact this deal and the combined business - especially with all TRNR’s and Wattbike’s stated plans to expand across borders, e.g., sell more in the US?
TRNR and Wattbike management teams - like most businesses worldwide - are monitoring and adapting to all the shifts in international trade. There’s plenty of change and uncertainty. That said, what’s also true is that more than 75% of the combined company’s 2024 revenues are outside the US - insulating the business from US-specific protectionism to a degree and for a fair amount of time. And we also have US-based inventory for FORME/CLMBR that will fulfill 2025 revenue projections. Finally, the other reality is that a lot of business across both TRNR and Wattbike is B2B sales, which are more resilient in terms of tariff-driven price sensitivity than individual consumer purchases. Taken together, all these factors at minimum mean that we don’t expect our operations to be severely impacted by trade considerations in the near future.businesses in terms of accelerating what they already each were doing.
For TRNR, Wattbike adds a truly marquee brand and set of products to its performance-focused portfolio. Wattbike’s indoor cycling training platform is arguably the best in the world - leading gyms, healthcare facilities, universities, and even special forces military operations - along with every NHL team and many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and the Premier League - all use Wattbikes.
For Wattbike, the deal gives its latest product launches and renewed growth a larger platform for marketing and distribution that will dramatically and cost-effectively speed up expansion across key international markets, while staying true to Wattbike’s commitment to deliver world-class training solutions for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

What did TRNR CEO say about the close?
Ward said: “The beginning of March has been exciting for TRNR, as we delivered on two of the three key catalysts that we outlined in our February investor presentation. We received $6.4 million from Sportstech, closing that chapter with a positive return that allows us to invest into our growing businesses without additional dilution, and we completed the acquisition of Ergatta as we said we would.” He added that Ergatta is a very strong brand and business, and that TRNR expects it to be immediately accretive to TRNR's financials and product experience.What did Ergatta CEO say?
Aulet said: “Our team is very proud that we've built the most engaging fitness content platform in the world, and we've done it profitably.” He described joining TRNR as the right next step for the business and highlighted the opportunity to grow the Ergatta gaming experience across other hardware brands.What was shared about the plans for Ergatta's gaming platform across TRNR brands?
There is strategic rationale beyond financial accretion: Ergatta's gaming experience has already been licensed by iFIT, and TRNR plans to add that experience to Wattbike and CLMBR. He also noted that the Ergatta team has strong customer acquisition capabilities and is expected to help drive US revenue growth for TRNR's brands. TRNR CEO summarized the acquisition philosophy: “As with all of our acquisitions, we are focused on minimizing near-term dilution and protecting downside with transaction valuation tied to future performance, while generating incremental upside from group synergies.”TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
-
What did TRNR acquire, and at what price?
TRNR acquired 100% of Ergatta, Inc. The base transaction value is $8.8 million, comprising three components: $1.8 million in cash consideration paid at close, $1.8 million in assumed debt, and $5.3 million in equity that is locked up until May 2027.
Assuming full achievement of both years' earn-outs, the maximum enterprise value would be $19.5 million, primarily through an increase in equity granted in May 2027 and May 2028. The upper 2026 EBITDA earn-out threshold is approximately $4.0 million. If fully achieved across 2026 and 2027, TRNR expects the purchase multiple to be less than 5.0x EBITDA before any group synergies. The structure means TRNR only pays maximum value if Ergatta delivers maximum results.
How was the $1.8 million cash payment funded?
The initial cash consideration was funded through TRNR's cash on hand prior to the transaction. No new equity was raised to complete the deal.
When is the equity component of the deal unlocked?
The equity component is locked up until May 2027 and there is another small piece related to Ergatta management in May 2028.
Who is leading Ergatta after the acquisition?
Ergatta's founders and key management team members have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business post-acquisition. Tom Aulet, Co-Founder and CEO of Ergatta, and Alessandra Gotbaum, C0-Founder and COO, both signed new employment agreements and confirmed their commitment to executing as part of TRNR.
THE SPORTSTECH RECOVERY
-
Has the Sportstech matter now been resolved?
Yes. TRNR recovered $6.4 million from Sportstech - comprising $5.0 million in principal and $1.4 million in interest and expenses - closing the enforcement proceedings. The recovery was received as non-dilutive capital and will support TRNR operations throughout 2026, which greatly reduces any additional equity issuance.
Was the Sportstech recovery included in TRNR's 2026 revenue guidance?
No. TRNR's 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $30 million does not include any Sportstech recovery as its not revenue. TRNR CEO described the recovery as allowing TRNR to invest into its growing businesses without additional dilution.

SPORTSTECH Loan Recovery
-
TRNR previously said the balance owed was approximately $6.8 million. The settlement was $6.4 million. Did TRNR accept less than it was owed?
The $6.8 million figure represented the full outstanding balance including default interest and fees continuing to accrue through the enforcement process. The $6.4 million settlement represents the full recovery of the $5.0 million principal advanced, plus interest and legal fees for enforcement. TRNR management determined that the cost/benefit analysis of accepting $6.4 million as a negotiated resolution today was a better option for TRNR shareholders given there would have been incremental legal costs and more time to achieve a potentially higher settlement, and there are higher return opportunities to invest in TRNR’s businesses now. While TRNR is not a lender, the settlement amount could be evaluated as a double digit return on capital after all expenses, which is a successful outcome for shareholders.
Why didn't TRNR proceed with the auction and try to acquire Sportstech or sell it for more than the settlement?
These outcomes were theoretically attractive and TRNR was fully prepared to acquire Sportstech or have another bidder acquire the business and receive the proceeds, but TRNR management determined that the settlement was the best path for shareholders. There were some risks and unknowns with the auction path and we determined that there were much more certain results by receiving immediate, non-dilutive cash in hand as it allows us to invest in the businesses we own and are acquiring without raising any additional capital in the near-term. Simply, we chose the lower risk, but still very attractive outcome, as compared to the highly levered, but riskier, path.
This is the same approach we use when acquiring businesses or analyzing opportunities - managed downside and uncapped upside. We are not gamblers and are looking for asymmetric payoffs in our favor. And, importantly, this resolution removes a significant distraction and allows management to focus where it should be: closing and integrating Ergatta, accelerating Wattbike's commercial momentum, and demonstrating the operating leverage that drives the 2026 growth plan.
Why did Sportstech suddenly come up with $6.4 million now, after months of disputing that it owed anything?
Sportstech did not deny that they owed us at least the capital we lent them, but they were trying to get out of the deal they signed with respect to the interest and fees. We structured the loan to have a high return, knowing that if we were being repaid, it would mean that we were not closing the acquisition and likely could have significant broken deal costs. In the end, this is what occurred and our structure protected our shareholders by allowing us to recover our capital and more than cover our transaction costs.
As to the timing of the settlement, our view is that there was a greater ability to pay than a willingness to pay, and ultimately the legal proceedings forced their hand. We know Sportstech had some capital in December, but its cash conversion cycle is such that their highest amount of cash is in February and March. This business reality coincided with the Berlin court denying all attempts by Sportstech to stop the share auction on March 11 and they reached out to settle almost immediately.
That outcome validated what TRNR said from the beginning: the agreements were legally sound, the money was owed, and enforcement would succeed. It also further validates that Sportstech's series of public statements disputing the loan's legitimacy were misleading - a pattern that has been consistent since December 2025 - and unfortunately, we believe our shareholders have been impacted by.
Does this settlement fully resolve TRNR's relationship with Sportstech? Are there any remaining claims or obligations?
Yes, the settlement is complete and total. The settlement resolves all claims arising from the Loan Agreements and the Share Pledge Agreement. The public auction of Sportstech shares scheduled for March 11, 2026 has been cancelled. All lawsuits are being withdrawn. TRNR retains no ownership interest in or involvement with Sportstech. The TRNR micro site on Sportstech will be minimized.
How will the $6.4 million be used?
The settlement proceeds are expected to be invested to grow the equity value of TRNR. We expect to use some of the proceeds to close the acquisition of Ergatta, we will invest in Wattbike’s growth and we expect to have real operating runway as we approach profitability such that we do not expect to raise capital in the near-term. This settlement proceeds are not dilutive, i.e. TRNR received these funds without issuing new shares or taking on new debt, and we are focused on minimizing dilution while we grow equity.

THE ERGATTA ACQUISITION
-
What is Ergatta and why is TRNR acquiring it?
Ergatta is the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Its digital subscription has best-in-class retention - 98.3% monthly - and the business is profitable, with approximately 30% EBITDA margins expected in 2026. Unlike most connected fitness companies, Ergatta runs an asset-light model: it buys finished hardware and installs its software experience, as well as licenses its game-based software platform to partners such as iFIT, so it generates revenue without the capital intensity of manufacturing hardware. Ergatta adds a fourth brand to TRNR’s portfolio, expands our content and software capabilities, and - critically - brings profitable, cash-generating operations that improve our overall margin profile as we scale.
What are the deal terms?
Base enterprise value is $8.8 million: $1.8 million in cash, $1.8 million in seller notes, and $5.3 million in TRNR equity that is locked up until May 2027. Maximum enterprise value is $19.5 million, with earnouts tied to 2026 and 2027 EBITDA, and the total valuation is expected to be less than 5.0x EBITDA. Less than 10% of the total deal value is funded at closing. The structure is performance-linked and protects TRNR shareholders - Ergatta’s team has to deliver results before the full value is paid, but it will still be an attractive price.
What does this deal do for TRNR’s revenue and profitability?
Ergatta is expected to contribute more than $10 million in revenue in 2026 at approximately 30% EBITDA margins. Combined with TRNR’s standalone guidance of more than $20 million, pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is now more than $30 million - more than 2.5x 2025 expected revenue. Ergatta is expected to be immediately accretive and cash-flow-positive in 2026. That is a meaningful step toward the operating leverage TRNR needs to fund growth without relying on equity capital.
When does the deal close?
We expect to close in Q1 2026. The definitive agreement has been signed. Closing is subject to customary conditions.
How does Ergatta fit with the other brands?
Ergatta’s game-based content platform is licensable and can be deployed across TRNR’s other brands, especially Wattbike and CLMBR, creating cross-brand content and engagement opportunities. The Ergatta team brings software and content capabilities that complement our hardware and performance expertise. And the Ergatta team brings a very strong capability in digital customer acquisition that should help drive growth in that channel for Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME.

SPORTSTECH ENFORCEMENT
-
What happened with the Sportstech deal?
As part of a potential acquisition, TRNR signed a binding transaction agreement with Sportstech in February 2025 and provided approximately $5 million in working capital loans secured by a pledge of 100% of the company shares and a personal guarantee by the CEO. After dragging out the acquisition closing, Sportstech issued misleading public statements in December 2025 to attack TRNR shareholders, and is contesting the amount due under the loan, which was due on December 30, 2025. There is no dispute that the $5 million was borrowed and is owed, but Sportstech is trying to avoid paying interest despite the agreements having been prepared by a top tier law firm in Germany and the agreements were notarized with the Sportstech CEO’s signature. TRNR has initiated all appropriate enforcement proceedings on multiple fronts, as detailed in our microsite.
How much does Sportstech owe TRNR?
As there is default interest continuing to accrue, the balance is approximately $6.8 million including principal, accrued interest, and fees. Sportstech acknowledges owing $5 million in principal but disputes certain interest components. TRNR has indicated privately and publicly that it would accept the $5 million and continue negotiating about the interest. Despite also offering privately to move forward on a similar basis, Sportstech has provided no such funds and continued to issue misleading statements that appear to have no purpose beyond destroying TRNR shareholder value.
What is TRNR doing to recover the money?
We are pursuing enforcement on multiple fronts. First, we have initiated a public auction of 100% of Ali Ahmad’s pledged shares in Sportstech, scheduled for March 11, 2026, as we are entitled to do under Clauses 11 and 12 of the Share Pledge Agreement filed with the SEC, and referenced on the microsite. Second, lawsuits have been filed in multiple German jurisdictions, as well as shared with Sportstech and its bank lenders. Finally, we remain in regular contact with Sportstech.
Sportstech disputes the basis for the loan. Is this accurate?
Every material agreement in this transaction was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Loan Agreement was reviewed by their own counsel, signed by Sportstech in front of a German notary, and the principal was fully disbursed. The Binding Transaction Agreement was filed as a Material Definitive Agreement in February 2025. These are executed, public documents - not drafts or discussion papers. Sportstech received the money. The loan terms are straightforward. We have published a comprehensive timeline with direct links to every SEC filing so shareholders can review the source documents themselves.
What does Sportstech recovery mean for shareholders?
The $6.8 million owed represents a multiple of TRNR’s current market capitalization. Recovery - whether through repayment or through the auction - would provide non-dilutive capital that extends our runway without borrowing capital or issuing additional shares. Our 2026 guidance of $30 million or more in pro forma revenue assumes zero Sportstech recovery. Any recovery is incremental upside to the growth story.

GUIDANCE & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue.
How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.
When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline. This occurred two days prior and we hoped the expected value accretion would have been reflected in the share price such that we would have been able to avoid the split. The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026. We also expect to achieve profitability in the near-term and therefore capital raising could be limited to accretive acquisitions potentially in the future.
How many shares are outstanding?
As shared in the recent press release announcing the split, there were approximately 14.3 million shares as of February 19, which will consolidate to approximately 1.4 million shares post-split effective February 24, 2026. Outstanding warrants and convertible instruments are adjusted proportionally, so we do not expect to experience adverse impacts from the mechanics of the split.
What is the ATM program?
In January 2026, TRNR filed an at-the-market offering program with capacity of approximately $2.6 million through H.C. Wainwright. An ATM allows the company to sell shares into the open market over time at market prices, rather than in a single discounted offering, so there is often less dilution. It provides flexible access to working capital as needed, and is at management’s discretion.

Is Wattbike performing as expected now that it is consolidated?
Yes. Wattbike’s first full quarter of inclusion contributed meaningfully to TRNR’s 139% YoY revenue growth. The brand is performing in line with expectations across both elite performance and commercial channels, and the performance is improved as a result of the immediate changes we made to the cost structure after closing. We expect to be able to drive more synergies from the business during 2026 so that the financial contribution of the brand will be materially better than the business that we acquired.

What does it mean that Maxim initiated coverage of TRNR, and why is that important?
When a sell-side equity research firm begins covering a company, it assigns an analyst who regularly publishes ratings (e.g., Buy/Hold/Sell), share price targets and potentially financial models. These reports are read by portfolio managers, hedge-fund traders, and wealth-management advisers - people who decide where large blocks of capital go - so coverage can potentially:
- Increase institutional awareness and credibility. Professional investors often won’t look at a micro-cap until at least one independent analyst is on the name.
- Improve trading liquidity over time. More eyes on the story typically mean more daily volume, tighter bid/ask spreads, and easier execution for both small and large shareholders.
Who is Maxim Group?
Maxim Group LLC is a full-service investment bank and wealth-management firm headquartered in New York that focuses on emerging-growth companies linkedin.com. Its research team covers roughly 200 small- and mid-cap stocks across technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

(Updated June 27, 2025)
Why did TRNR carry out a reverse share split?
There is a Nasdaq continuing listing requirement that prohibits a listed company from having a closing bid price below $1.00 for 30 straight trading days. Despite our market cap growing this year -powered by two strategic acquisitions, 2025 revenue guidance of ~$75 million, adding $50 million to the balance sheet and an outlook for profitability in Q4 2025 - the share price stayed under that $1.00 threshold. The reverse split simply combined existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares so we remain in compliance and keep our Nasdaq listing. For example, you could have had 10 shares at $0.50 and now you would have 1 share of $5.00. It does not change your percentage ownership, the value of your holdings or the company’s fundamentals; it protects your investment so we can “harvest the expected future return on our current investments,” as our CEO wrote to shareholders earlier today. Bottom line, our listing is the mechanism for our acquisition-related growth and expansion - and this was solely an administrative exercise.

(Updated May 21, 2025)
What is TRNR doing about the continued short selling pressure on its stock?
We remain aware of what appears to be persistent short selling pressure and the concerns it raises among our shareholders. While short interest is a feature of public markets, we take any indications of potential market manipulation seriously. We are actively monitoring trading activity, staying in close communication with regulators, and evaluating all available options to protect our investors and ensure a fair and orderly market. We are also encouraged by recent signs that ongoing positive business updates — including strong performance from our acquired businesses — are being reflected in improved support for the stock.

Wattbike Acquisition
What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Wattbike is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.
Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
How will all the tariffs impact this deal and the combined business - especially with all TRNR’s and Wattbike’s stated plans to expand across borders, e.g., sell more in the US?
TRNR and Wattbike management teams - like most businesses worldwide - are monitoring and adapting to all the shifts in international trade. There’s plenty of change and uncertainty. That said, what’s also true is that more than 75% of the combined company’s 2024 revenues are outside the US - insulating the business from US-specific protectionism to a degree and for a fair amount of time. And we also have US-based inventory for FORME/CLMBR that will fulfill 2025 revenue projections. Finally, the other reality is that a lot of business across both TRNR and Wattbike is B2B sales, which are more resilient in terms of tariff-driven price sensitivity than individual consumer purchases. Taken together, all these factors at minimum mean that we don’t expect our operations to be severely impacted by trade considerations in the near future.businesses in terms of accelerating what they already each were doing.
For TRNR, Wattbike adds a truly marquee brand and set of products to its performance-focused portfolio. Wattbike’s indoor cycling training platform is arguably the best in the world - leading gyms, healthcare facilities, universities, and even special forces military operations - along with every NHL team and many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and the Premier League - all use Wattbikes.
For Wattbike, the deal gives its latest product launches and renewed growth a larger platform for marketing and distribution that will dramatically and cost-effectively speed up expansion across key international markets, while staying true to Wattbike’s commitment to deliver world-class training solutions for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

The settlement proceeds are expected to be invested to grow the equity value of TRNR. We expect to use some of the proceeds to close the acquisition of Ergatta, we will invest in Wattbike’s growth and we expect to have real operating runway as we approach profitability such that we do not expect to raise capital in the near-term. This settlement proceeds are not dilutive, i.e. TRNR received these funds without issuing new shares or taking on new debt, and we are focused on minimizing dilution while we grow equity.

THE ERGATTA ACQUISITION
-
What is Ergatta and why is TRNR acquiring it?
Ergatta is the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Its digital subscription has best-in-class retention - 98.3% monthly - and the business is profitable, with approximately 30% EBITDA margins expected in 2026. Unlike most connected fitness companies, Ergatta runs an asset-light model: it buys finished hardware and installs its software experience, as well as licenses its game-based software platform to partners such as iFIT, so it generates revenue without the capital intensity of manufacturing hardware. Ergatta adds a fourth brand to TRNR’s portfolio, expands our content and software capabilities, and - critically - brings profitable, cash-generating operations that improve our overall margin profile as we scale.
What are the deal terms?
Base enterprise value is $8.8 million: $1.8 million in cash, $1.8 million in seller notes, and $5.3 million in TRNR equity that is locked up until May 2027. Maximum enterprise value is $19.5 million, with earnouts tied to 2026 and 2027 EBITDA, and the total valuation is expected to be less than 5.0x EBITDA. Less than 10% of the total deal value is funded at closing. The structure is performance-linked and protects TRNR shareholders - Ergatta’s team has to deliver results before the full value is paid, but it will still be an attractive price.
What does this deal do for TRNR’s revenue and profitability?
Ergatta is expected to contribute more than $10 million in revenue in 2026 at approximately 30% EBITDA margins. Combined with TRNR’s standalone guidance of more than $20 million, pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is now more than $30 million - more than 2.5x 2025 expected revenue. Ergatta is expected to be immediately accretive and cash-flow-positive in 2026. That is a meaningful step toward the operating leverage TRNR needs to fund growth without relying on equity capital.
When does the deal close?
We expect to close in Q1 2026. The definitive agreement has been signed. Closing is subject to customary conditions.
How does Ergatta fit with the other brands?
Ergatta’s game-based content platform is licensable and can be deployed across TRNR’s other brands, especially Wattbike and CLMBR, creating cross-brand content and engagement opportunities. The Ergatta team brings software and content capabilities that complement our hardware and performance expertise. And the Ergatta team brings a very strong capability in digital customer acquisition that should help drive growth in that channel for Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME.

SPORTSTECH ENFORCEMENT
-
What happened with the Sportstech deal?
As part of a potential acquisition, TRNR signed a binding transaction agreement with Sportstech in February 2025 and provided approximately $5 million in working capital loans secured by a pledge of 100% of the company shares and a personal guarantee by the CEO. After dragging out the acquisition closing, Sportstech issued misleading public statements in December 2025 to attack TRNR shareholders, and is contesting the amount due under the loan, which was due on December 30, 2025. There is no dispute that the $5 million was borrowed and is owed, but Sportstech is trying to avoid paying interest despite the agreements having been prepared by a top tier law firm in Germany and the agreements were notarized with the Sportstech CEO’s signature. TRNR has initiated all appropriate enforcement proceedings on multiple fronts, as detailed in our microsite.
How much does Sportstech owe TRNR?
As there is default interest continuing to accrue, the balance is approximately $6.8 million including principal, accrued interest, and fees. Sportstech acknowledges owing $5 million in principal but disputes certain interest components. TRNR has indicated privately and publicly that it would accept the $5 million and continue negotiating about the interest. Despite also offering privately to move forward on a similar basis, Sportstech has provided no such funds and continued to issue misleading statements that appear to have no purpose beyond destroying TRNR shareholder value.
What is TRNR doing to recover the money?
We are pursuing enforcement on multiple fronts. First, we have initiated a public auction of 100% of Ali Ahmad’s pledged shares in Sportstech, scheduled for March 11, 2026, as we are entitled to do under Clauses 11 and 12 of the Share Pledge Agreement filed with the SEC, and referenced on the microsite. Second, lawsuits have been filed in multiple German jurisdictions, as well as shared with Sportstech and its bank lenders. Finally, we remain in regular contact with Sportstech.
Sportstech disputes the basis for the loan. Is this accurate?
Every material agreement in this transaction was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Loan Agreement was reviewed by their own counsel, signed by Sportstech in front of a German notary, and the principal was fully disbursed. The Binding Transaction Agreement was filed as a Material Definitive Agreement in February 2025. These are executed, public documents - not drafts or discussion papers. Sportstech received the money. The loan terms are straightforward. We have published a comprehensive timeline with direct links to every SEC filing so shareholders can review the source documents themselves.
What does Sportstech recovery mean for shareholders?
The $6.8 million owed represents a multiple of TRNR’s current market capitalization. Recovery - whether through repayment or through the auction - would provide non-dilutive capital that extends our runway without borrowing capital or issuing additional shares. Our 2026 guidance of $30 million or more in pro forma revenue assumes zero Sportstech recovery. Any recovery is incremental upside to the growth story.

GUIDANCE & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue.
How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.
When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline. This occurred two days prior and we hoped the expected value accretion would have been reflected in the share price such that we would have been able to avoid the split. The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026. We also expect to achieve profitability in the near-term and therefore capital raising could be limited to accretive acquisitions potentially in the future.
How many shares are outstanding?
As shared in the recent press release announcing the split, there were approximately 14.3 million shares as of February 19, which will consolidate to approximately 1.4 million shares post-split effective February 24, 2026. Outstanding warrants and convertible instruments are adjusted proportionally, so we do not expect to experience adverse impacts from the mechanics of the split.
What is the ATM program?
In January 2026, TRNR filed an at-the-market offering program with capacity of approximately $2.6 million through H.C. Wainwright. An ATM allows the company to sell shares into the open market over time at market prices, rather than in a single discounted offering, so there is often less dilution. It provides flexible access to working capital as needed, and is at management’s discretion.

Is Wattbike performing as expected now that it is consolidated?
Yes. Wattbike’s first full quarter of inclusion contributed meaningfully to TRNR’s 139% YoY revenue growth. The brand is performing in line with expectations across both elite performance and commercial channels, and the performance is improved as a result of the immediate changes we made to the cost structure after closing. We expect to be able to drive more synergies from the business during 2026 so that the financial contribution of the brand will be materially better than the business that we acquired.

What does it mean that Maxim initiated coverage of TRNR, and why is that important?
When a sell-side equity research firm begins covering a company, it assigns an analyst who regularly publishes ratings (e.g., Buy/Hold/Sell), share price targets and potentially financial models. These reports are read by portfolio managers, hedge-fund traders, and wealth-management advisers - people who decide where large blocks of capital go - so coverage can potentially:
- Increase institutional awareness and credibility. Professional investors often won’t look at a micro-cap until at least one independent analyst is on the name.
- Improve trading liquidity over time. More eyes on the story typically mean more daily volume, tighter bid/ask spreads, and easier execution for both small and large shareholders.
Who is Maxim Group?
Maxim Group LLC is a full-service investment bank and wealth-management firm headquartered in New York that focuses on emerging-growth companies linkedin.com. Its research team covers roughly 200 small- and mid-cap stocks across technology, consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

(Updated June 27, 2025)
Why did TRNR carry out a reverse share split?
There is a Nasdaq continuing listing requirement that prohibits a listed company from having a closing bid price below $1.00 for 30 straight trading days. Despite our market cap growing this year -powered by two strategic acquisitions, 2025 revenue guidance of ~$75 million, adding $50 million to the balance sheet and an outlook for profitability in Q4 2025 - the share price stayed under that $1.00 threshold. The reverse split simply combined existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares so we remain in compliance and keep our Nasdaq listing. For example, you could have had 10 shares at $0.50 and now you would have 1 share of $5.00. It does not change your percentage ownership, the value of your holdings or the company’s fundamentals; it protects your investment so we can “harvest the expected future return on our current investments,” as our CEO wrote to shareholders earlier today. Bottom line, our listing is the mechanism for our acquisition-related growth and expansion - and this was solely an administrative exercise.

(Updated May 21, 2025)
What is TRNR doing about the continued short selling pressure on its stock?
We remain aware of what appears to be persistent short selling pressure and the concerns it raises among our shareholders. While short interest is a feature of public markets, we take any indications of potential market manipulation seriously. We are actively monitoring trading activity, staying in close communication with regulators, and evaluating all available options to protect our investors and ensure a fair and orderly market. We are also encouraged by recent signs that ongoing positive business updates — including strong performance from our acquired businesses — are being reflected in improved support for the stock.

Wattbike Acquisition
What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Wattbike is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.
Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
How will all the tariffs impact this deal and the combined business - especially with all TRNR’s and Wattbike’s stated plans to expand across borders, e.g., sell more in the US?
TRNR and Wattbike management teams - like most businesses worldwide - are monitoring and adapting to all the shifts in international trade. There’s plenty of change and uncertainty. That said, what’s also true is that more than 75% of the combined company’s 2024 revenues are outside the US - insulating the business from US-specific protectionism to a degree and for a fair amount of time. And we also have US-based inventory for FORME/CLMBR that will fulfill 2025 revenue projections. Finally, the other reality is that a lot of business across both TRNR and Wattbike is B2B sales, which are more resilient in terms of tariff-driven price sensitivity than individual consumer purchases. Taken together, all these factors at minimum mean that we don’t expect our operations to be severely impacted by trade considerations in the near future.businesses in terms of accelerating what they already each were doing.
For TRNR, Wattbike adds a truly marquee brand and set of products to its performance-focused portfolio. Wattbike’s indoor cycling training platform is arguably the best in the world - leading gyms, healthcare facilities, universities, and even special forces military operations - along with every NHL team and many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and the Premier League - all use Wattbikes.
For Wattbike, the deal gives its latest product launches and renewed growth a larger platform for marketing and distribution that will dramatically and cost-effectively speed up expansion across key international markets, while staying true to Wattbike’s commitment to deliver world-class training solutions for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

What is Ergatta and why is TRNR acquiring it?
Ergatta is the pioneer in game-based connected fitness. Its digital subscription has best-in-class retention - 98.3% monthly - and the business is profitable, with approximately 30% EBITDA margins expected in 2026. Unlike most connected fitness companies, Ergatta runs an asset-light model: it buys finished hardware and installs its software experience, as well as licenses its game-based software platform to partners such as iFIT, so it generates revenue without the capital intensity of manufacturing hardware. Ergatta adds a fourth brand to TRNR’s portfolio, expands our content and software capabilities, and - critically - brings profitable, cash-generating operations that improve our overall margin profile as we scale.What are the deal terms?
Base enterprise value is $8.8 million: $1.8 million in cash, $1.8 million in seller notes, and $5.3 million in TRNR equity that is locked up until May 2027. Maximum enterprise value is $19.5 million, with earnouts tied to 2026 and 2027 EBITDA, and the total valuation is expected to be less than 5.0x EBITDA. Less than 10% of the total deal value is funded at closing. The structure is performance-linked and protects TRNR shareholders - Ergatta’s team has to deliver results before the full value is paid, but it will still be an attractive price.What does this deal do for TRNR’s revenue and profitability?
Ergatta is expected to contribute more than $10 million in revenue in 2026 at approximately 30% EBITDA margins. Combined with TRNR’s standalone guidance of more than $20 million, pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is now more than $30 million - more than 2.5x 2025 expected revenue. Ergatta is expected to be immediately accretive and cash-flow-positive in 2026. That is a meaningful step toward the operating leverage TRNR needs to fund growth without relying on equity capital.When does the deal close?
We expect to close in Q1 2026. The definitive agreement has been signed. Closing is subject to customary conditions.How does Ergatta fit with the other brands?
Ergatta’s game-based content platform is licensable and can be deployed across TRNR’s other brands, especially Wattbike and CLMBR, creating cross-brand content and engagement opportunities. The Ergatta team brings software and content capabilities that complement our hardware and performance expertise. And the Ergatta team brings a very strong capability in digital customer acquisition that should help drive growth in that channel for Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME.Contact: ir@interactivestrength.com

SPORTSTECH ENFORCEMENT
-
What happened with the Sportstech deal?
As part of a potential acquisition, TRNR signed a binding transaction agreement with Sportstech in February 2025 and provided approximately $5 million in working capital loans secured by a pledge of 100% of the company shares and a personal guarantee by the CEO. After dragging out the acquisition closing, Sportstech issued misleading public statements in December 2025 to attack TRNR shareholders, and is contesting the amount due under the loan, which was due on December 30, 2025. There is no dispute that the $5 million was borrowed and is owed, but Sportstech is trying to avoid paying interest despite the agreements having been prepared by a top tier law firm in Germany and the agreements were notarized with the Sportstech CEO’s signature. TRNR has initiated all appropriate enforcement proceedings on multiple fronts, as detailed in our microsite.
How much does Sportstech owe TRNR?
As there is default interest continuing to accrue, the balance is approximately $6.8 million including principal, accrued interest, and fees. Sportstech acknowledges owing $5 million in principal but disputes certain interest components. TRNR has indicated privately and publicly that it would accept the $5 million and continue negotiating about the interest. Despite also offering privately to move forward on a similar basis, Sportstech has provided no such funds and continued to issue misleading statements that appear to have no purpose beyond destroying TRNR shareholder value.
What is TRNR doing to recover the money?
We are pursuing enforcement on multiple fronts. First, we have initiated a public auction of 100% of Ali Ahmad’s pledged shares in Sportstech, scheduled for March 11, 2026, as we are entitled to do under Clauses 11 and 12 of the Share Pledge Agreement filed with the SEC, and referenced on the microsite. Second, lawsuits have been filed in multiple German jurisdictions, as well as shared with Sportstech and its bank lenders. Finally, we remain in regular contact with Sportstech.
Sportstech disputes the basis for the loan. Is this accurate?
Every material agreement in this transaction was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Loan Agreement was reviewed by their own counsel, signed by Sportstech in front of a German notary, and the principal was fully disbursed. The Binding Transaction Agreement was filed as a Material Definitive Agreement in February 2025. These are executed, public documents - not drafts or discussion papers. Sportstech received the money. The loan terms are straightforward. We have published a comprehensive timeline with direct links to every SEC filing so shareholders can review the source documents themselves.
What does Sportstech recovery mean for shareholders?
The $6.8 million owed represents a multiple of TRNR’s current market capitalization. Recovery - whether through repayment or through the auction - would provide non-dilutive capital that extends our runway without borrowing capital or issuing additional shares. Our 2026 guidance of $30 million or more in pro forma revenue assumes zero Sportstech recovery. Any recovery is incremental upside to the growth story.

GUIDANCE & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
-
What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue.
How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.
When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline.

The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026. We also expect to achieve profitability in the near-term and therefore capital raising could be limited to accretive acquisitions potentially in the future.
How many shares are outstanding?
As shared in the recent press release announcing the split, there were approximately 14.3 million shares as of February 19, which will consolidate to approximately 1.4 million shares post-split effective February 24, 2026. Outstanding warrants and convertible instruments are adjusted proportionally, so we do not expect to experience adverse impacts from the mechanics of the split.
What is the ATM program?
In January 2026, TRNR filed an at-the-market offering program with capacity of approximately $2.6 million through H.C. Wainwright. An ATM allows the company to sell shares into the open market over time at market prices, rather than in a single discounted offering, so there is often less dilution. It provides flexible access to working capital as needed, and is at management’s discretion.

Is Wattbike performing as expected now that it is consolidated?
Yes. Wattbike’s first full quarter of inclusion contributed meaningfully to TRNR’s 139% YoY revenue growth. The brand is performing in line with expectations across both elite performance and commercial channels, and the performance is improved as a result of the immediate changes we made to the cost structure after closing. We expect to be able to drive more synergies from the business during 2026 so that the financial contribution of the brand will be materially better than the business that we acquired.

What does it mean that Maxim initiated coverage of TRNR, and why is that important?
When a sell-side equity research firm begins covering a company, it assigns an analyst who regularly publishes ratings (e.g., Buy/Hold/Sell), share price targets and potentially financial models. These reports are read by portfolio managers, hedge-fund traders, and wealth-management advisers - people who decide where large blocks of capital go - so coverage can potentially:
- Increase institutional awareness and credibility. Professional investors often won’t look at a micro-cap until at least one independent analyst is on the name.
- Improve trading liquidity over time. More eyes on the story typically mean more daily volume, tighter bid/ask spreads, and easier execution for both small and large shareholders.

Why did TRNR carry out a reverse share split?
There is a Nasdaq continuing listing requirement that prohibits a listed company from having a closing bid price below $1.00 for 30 straight trading days. Despite our market cap growing this year -powered by two strategic acquisitions, 2025 revenue guidance of ~$75 million, adding $50 million to the balance sheet and an outlook for profitability in Q4 2025 - the share price stayed under that $1.00 threshold. The reverse split simply combined existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares so we remain in compliance and keep our Nasdaq listing. For example, you could have had 10 shares at $0.50 and now you would have 1 share of $5.00. It does not change your percentage ownership, the value of your holdings or the company’s fundamentals; it protects your investment so we can “harvest the expected future return on our current investments,” as our CEO wrote to shareholders earlier today. Bottom line, our listing is the mechanism for our acquisition-related growth and expansion - and this was solely an administrative exercise.

What is TRNR doing about the continued short selling pressure on its stock?
We remain aware of what appears to be persistent short selling pressure and the concerns it raises among our shareholders. While short interest is a feature of public markets, we take any indications of potential market manipulation seriously. We are actively monitoring trading activity, staying in close communication with regulators, and evaluating all available options to protect our investors and ensure a fair and orderly market. We are also encouraged by recent signs that ongoing positive business updates — including strong performance from our acquired businesses — are being reflected in improved support for the stock.

Wattbike Acquisition
What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Wattbike is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.
Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
How will all the tariffs impact this deal and the combined business - especially with all TRNR’s and Wattbike’s stated plans to expand across borders, e.g., sell more in the US?
TRNR and Wattbike management teams - like most businesses worldwide - are monitoring and adapting to all the shifts in international trade. There’s plenty of change and uncertainty. That said, what’s also true is that more than 75% of the combined company’s 2024 revenues are outside the US - insulating the business from US-specific protectionism to a degree and for a fair amount of time. And we also have US-based inventory for FORME/CLMBR that will fulfill 2025 revenue projections. Finally, the other reality is that a lot of business across both TRNR and Wattbike is B2B sales, which are more resilient in terms of tariff-driven price sensitivity than individual consumer purchases. Taken together, all these factors at minimum mean that we don’t expect our operations to be severely impacted by trade considerations in the near future.businesses in terms of accelerating what they already each were doing.
For TRNR, Wattbike adds a truly marquee brand and set of products to its performance-focused portfolio. Wattbike’s indoor cycling training platform is arguably the best in the world - leading gyms, healthcare facilities, universities, and even special forces military operations - along with every NHL team and many teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and the Premier League - all use Wattbikes.
For Wattbike, the deal gives its latest product launches and renewed growth a larger platform for marketing and distribution that will dramatically and cost-effectively speed up expansion across key international markets, while staying true to Wattbike’s commitment to deliver world-class training solutions for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

What is TRNR’s 2026 revenue guidance?
Pro forma 2026 revenue guidance is more than $30 million, consisting of more than $20 million in standalone TRNR revenue (including a full year of Wattbike) plus more than $10 million from Ergatta, assuming the acquisition closes as expected in Q1 2026. This represents more than 2.5x expected 2025 reported revenue. How is Wattbike performing?
Profitability is above expectations. The Air-Pro product launch drove 700-plus bikes sold in the UK commercial market and approximately $2.5 million in revenue in the six months since acquisition. Major operator wins include David Lloyd, Third Space, Virgin Active, and new customers like GymBox and Everlast Gyms. Utilization rates are 25-35% higher than legacy models. After eight months of ownership, Wattbike is validating our M&A playbook and we look forward to sharing how excited we are about the business soon.When will TRNR be profitable?
Our focus is on demonstrating operating leverage in 2026 - growing revenue while reducing operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Ergatta’s approximately 30% EBITDA margins and cash-flow-positive profile are a meaningful step in that direction. While we have not provided a specific profitability target, the combination of Wattbike’s scale, Ergatta’s margins, and continued top-line growth gives us a clear path to near-term profitability.Contact: ir@interactivestrength.com

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
-
Why did TRNR do another reverse split?
We were approaching the 30th day with a closing price below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is essential to our M&A-driven growth strategy - it is the foundation for how we structure acquisitions, raise capital, and attract institutional interest. We tried to avoid the split and pushed incredibly hard to be able to announce the Ergatta acquisition before the deadline. This occurred two days prior and we hoped the expected value accretion would have been reflected in the share price such that we would have been able to avoid the split. The volume and volatility were significant, but the price did not recover above $1.00 and so our hand was forced. At this point, the negative news is behind us and we expected to close Ergatta soon and have material positive newsflow in front of us.
What are the mechanics of the split?
As outlined in the press release on February 20, it is a 1-for-10 reverse split, effective February 24. Every ten pre-split shares consolidate to one post-split share. The number of outstanding shares goes from approximately 14.3 million to approximately 1.4 million. There is no change to authorized shares or par value. Fractional shares below one will be settled in cash. The split was approved by stockholders at the September 2025 annual meeting, and the final ratio was approved by the board on February 6, 2026 as there is about a two week timeline to be prepared to split, though the final decision was made after the close on February 19 when the price was below $1.00.
Does the reverse split change the value of my investment?
No. Your ownership percentage does not change. You will hold fewer shares at a proportionally higher price, but the value is the same. TRNR’s market capitalization is the same before and immediately after the split.
Didn’t TRNR already do a reverse split last year?
Yes. A 1-for-10 reverse split was effective June 27, 2025. We are candid that a second reverse split within eight months is not where we wanted to be, but as the CEO’s February 20 letter states, the decline in our stock price from a reasonable level to below $1.00 was triggered by misleading, value-destructive statements from Sportstech at the end of December and and early January. The enforcement process to recover shareholder value on that front is active, but we believe the decline in the price over the past couple months was due to outside factors that we expect to reverse and be positive in the future.

SHORT SELLING
-
Are you aware of short selling activity in TRNR stock?
Yes. We are aware of shareholder concerns about short selling activity and the pressure it places on the stock. We are in regular communication with our regulators and our banking partners on this topic. We receive frequent comments from concerned shareholders, but there is a limit to what an issuer can do as we are not regulated by FINRA. We cannot file a Suspicious Activity Report and sharing reports of trading volume that is multiples of our shares outstanding has not been compelling to any regulators.
Why hasn’t TRNR put out a press release addressing short sellers?
Because we believe it would hurt shareholders, not help them. We have studied the track record of public companies issuing press releases about short selling, and it shows a nearly unbroken correlation with stock price declines. These releases tend to amplify attention to the short thesis, invite additional short interest, and signal vulnerability rather than strength. We do not think that serves our shareholders. Our approach is to focus on executing the business - closing and integrating Ergatta, advancing Sportstech enforcement, growing Wattbike, and delivering on guidance. Results are the most effective response to short pressure.
TRNR raised significant capital in 2025. Is this expected to continue?
In addition to capital raised to fund operations during 2025, we raised nearly $8.0 million to invest in Sportstech and Wattbike during 2025. During 2026, these investments are not expected to repeat and we expect that Wattbike will start to generate cash and we also expect to recover capital from Sportstech. So, from these two examples, we expect to have a reversal of approximately $15.0 million given we raised nearly $8.0 million in 2025 and we expect to receive $7.0 million or more in the near-term.
To add to this positive dynamic, we are expecting to generate more than $30 million in 2026 pro forma revenue as compared to generating approximately $12 million in 2025 revenue and this increased revenue base is expected to greatly reduce our adjusted EBITDA loss, and therefore our cash needs in 2026.

Interactive Strength Inc.
What are you doing to counter market manipulation like naked short selling? The trading volumes in TRNR stock can’t be real as it’s many multiples of the free-trading float.
Today is the third day during February when more than 50 million shares have traded in a day. This just highlights the many other times in the recent past when every share outstanding appears to have been traded more than 10 times in a single day. We have heard from many of our shareholders that they believe that this trading dynamic reflects an illegal “naked short.” If correct, this would harm all of us and our interests, as defending the share price is critical to our long-term plans. We have not been able to explain this volume and we are investigating the possible reasons for it, which include speaking with the Nasdaq Market Intelligence desk and possibly the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).That being said, we are aware that TRNR has a low number of shares outstanding. A rush of buying, such as in response to the very positive Sportstech news, could move the share price up dramatically and attract traders with short time horizons. Beyond our investigating naked shorts, we are growing revenue through acquisitions and we are also spending a lot of time communicating the long-term value we expect to create so that we can attract more owners of TRNR to combat any short-sellers.

Stock/financials
I’ve heard TRNR’s CEO, Trent Ward, has a $20 million salary. The company can’t pay that from operations, so are shareholders being diluted by capital raising to fund this?
There seems to be some confusion and misreading about the TRNR CEO compensation of $20M from the 10-K. We’d like to clear it up, because it is fantastically wrong. TRNR’s CEO did not - and does not - get paid $20M. The CEO salary has been flat for the past 2 years, averaging just under $300K in 2023 and 2024. So, what’s the $20M? It’s a non-cash number that frankly has very little to do with reality and is an accounting treatment tied to the issuance of stock options more than two years ago and pre-IPO. It has to be calculated, assigned a dollar value, and disclosed as a non-cash expense on the balance sheet according to GAAP. Each option was valued at $18/shr - even when the IPO valued shares at $8 - given the required Black-Scholes option-valuation methodology. Actual compensation related to those options is zero, and the options now have a strike price that’s over $2,000.00 per share, making them effectively worthless. So, again, the CEO is paid only in cash in the low six figures - and the $20M figure is a historical one off item associated with required accounting for old stock options that have no real value.Why has the share price declined even as you report better financials?
We believe that the market has not fully understood how to value a roll-up strategy, which means that we believe the share is very undervalued. Especially given our $50M 2025 pro forma revenue guidance, as well as earnout assumptions built into our binding agreement to acquire Sportstech, which produced over $40M in profitable revenue in 2024.There are a lot of factors that go into stock prices and like any company we can’t predict or unpack how our shares trade. We can say that we are extremely bullish about our market - which is growing, and ripe for consolidation - and our brands and business. We can also say that we are confident in our formula for growth and success: accelerate via acquisition; structure deals with equity and earnouts; and so align deal strategy, acquisitions and shareholder upside while risk-managing any downside.
What are you doing to improve the share price?
We’re growing a valuable fitness and equipment portfolio, rapidly, in a capital efficient way. On a TTM basis, we expect to increase annual revenues nearly 10X from 2024 to the end of 2025. More specifically, over the past year, we have locked in:A worldwide distribution agreement with Woodway, an established and high quality partner for selling fitness equipment globally
Gold’s, Crunch, Chuze and Armah gym-chain initial installations, giving TRNR gateways into over 1,000 gyms in the US and worldwide
Additional distribution agreements and certifications enabling sales in the EU overall, and Germany, France, the Gulf region and Indonesia, heavily populated regions with thousands more gyms
Initial orders and installations for over 1,000 CLMBR units – achieving a level of scaled order traction within months that CLMBR had never reached on its own
Five major tradeshow exhibition opportunities
An expansion of our FORME brand into new verticals like golf, physical therapy, the military and college use-cases;
Significant steps to strengthen our listing and balance sheet; and
Our binding agreement to acquire Sportstech, Germany’s largest connected fitness and equipment business.
We’re also not stopping here - we’ll continue to build our customer and geographic presence, and also remain focused on finding additional acquisition opportunities.
Why should I buy/hold onto my shares?
We believe the market significantly undervalues TRNR on both a top and bottom line basis. As our investor deck and shareholder letters outline, we are building a risk-managed portfolio of fitness-related brands, content and equipment that has major upside.We’re acquiring and scaling businesses in a growing market with a lot of demand from both consumers and companies like gym chains, multi-family residential and hotels. We’ve announced two acquisitions, and by the end of 2025, we expect to scale revenues nearly 10X as compared to 2024. In short, we’re pleased with our progress in just the last twelve months and bullish on our prospects going forward.
What is TRNR’s status with Nasdaq? What’s the likelihood you are delisted?
We are in full compliance with Nasdaq continuing listing standards. You can read more details about this on our website or in our filings. Given our progress building the business and our revenues, we believe we will continue to be in compliance with Stockholder’s Equity. We cannot control the share price, but we are focused on maintaining compliance, so we are asking for shareholder approval for a reverse split in the chance that it is required by Nasdaq.TRNR did two reverse splits in 2024; will this occur again in the future?
Given the revenue base after the Sportstech acquisition, the profit potential and the equity we’re building, we are hopeful that we will not require another reverse split. We have no plans for an equity offering, which it seems is what caused a sudden decrease in share price in July 2024 and therefore we fell out of compliance with the Nasdaq listing standard and had to perform a reverse split. We’d expect that as we start to report significantly higher revenues and integrate our acquisitions, shareholders will start to better appreciate the quality of the business and therefore we will not be required to perform a reverse split, but we do want to be prepared in case there is a sudden deterioration in markets, which is why we are asking for shareholder approval for one.How is the company performing - what are the major achievements in the past year?
We are on track in terms of making significant progress over the past twelve months, laying the groundwork for a much larger business that matches our large opportunity. We have a value-based operating strategy, driven by disciplined acquisitions and an increasingly improving and efficient capital structure, applied to a large category that’s rich with targets. We’ve done a lot to set the company and shareholders up for success, including locking in:- A worldwide distribution agreement with Woodway, an very established, and high quality partner for selling fitness equipment globally
- Gold’s, Crunch, Chuze and Armah gym-chain pilots/installations, giving TRNR gateways into over 1,000 gyms in the US and worldwide
- Additional distribution agreements and certifications enabling sales in the EU overall, and Germany, France, the Gulf region and Indonesia, heavily populated regions with thousands more gyms
- Initial orders and installations for over 1,000 CLMBR units – achieving a level of scaled order traction within months that CLMBR had never reached on its own
- Five major tradeshow exhibition opportunities
- An expansion of our FORME brand into new verticals like golf, physical therapy, the military and college use-cases;
- Took significant steps to strengthen our listing and balance sheet; and
- Our binding agreement to acquire Sportstech, Germany’s largest connected fitness and equipment business.
So, when you own TRNR stock, you get positive exposure to catalysts like:
- Our market tailwind – for people worldwide, health & wellness is increasingly an “essential” spend.
- Our portfolio strategy – TRNR is building a collection of opportunities for its investors to benefit from macro trends, the diversity of which helps lower the risk of any one opportunity.
- Our M&A expertise – TRNR’s goal is to source and purchase high-potential businesses before their multiples expand, within our highly-fragmented sector.
- Our growth – the more we grow and the more valuable our shares become, the more capital efficient our acquisitions and portfolio strategy.
- Our assortment of equipment, services and brands – as the range of what we offer both consumers and businesses expands, so do the ways we can create shareholder value.
Why does buying other companies make sense for the business?
In a nutshell, TRNR offers exposure to a huge, growing market that we define in terms of consolidating overlooked value opportunities – fitness platforms and equipment that we can acquire and scale more efficiently than smaller owner-operators by themselves, due to our listing and capital structure.This acquisition strategy in turn gives us and our shareholders more exposure to a greater set of opportunities across the fitness, health and wellness markets.
When will we see meaningful growth in revenues? Profits?
Once the Sportstech acquisition closes - likely in April - we’ll be able to start reporting their results as part of TRNR operations in subsequent quarters. As noted in our most recent guidance, the most significant impact on the top line will be clear at the end of 2025, when we expect to report over $50M in revenues on a pro forma basis.How are your brands doing in the marketplace? When will we see more customer announcements?
We’re pleased with our ability to grow both brands on a capital-efficient basis. It remains early days yet, but we expanded FORME into the golf vertical - and we were able to sign multiple distribution as well as customer agreements for CLMBR across the US, EU, EMEA and Asia within a few months of closing the deal for those assets.What’s next for TRNR? More deals, or building out what you have?
Both. TRNR’s vision is building a portfolio of businesses that can capture value across different segments and geographies in health & wellness and drive significant multiple expansion for shareholders. Sportstech is large enough that our combined organic opportunity set is attractive, but also provides enough scale that we can acquire future businesses with larger synergies.Going forward, we’ll continue to execute by both operating what we buy, well - and by strategically acquiring additional growth businesses on a low-cost, low-risk basis.
Should I buy more TRNR stock? Why?
You have to make your own decisions about what stocks are right for your portfolio. We can say that the Sportstech deal illustrates the increasingly low-risk, high-growth potential that TRNR management is working to provide to shareholders.A roll-up strategy can provide consistent growth in all markets when executed well. We are focused on a portfolio strategy in a specific, high-growth sector ripe for consolidation and this can give stockholders terrific exposure to value creation. TRNR, especially with Sportstech, offers a lot of that kind of opportunity.
