PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We have prepared our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2023, the interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future interim period. These interim statements have not been audited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements

References in this report to “we”, “us”, “our” or “Gaia” refer to Gaia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise. All textual currency references are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars (unless otherwise indicated).

1. Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation

Gaia, Inc. (“Gaia,” “we” or “us”) operates a global digital video subscription service and on-line community that caters to a unique and underserved member base. Our digital content library includes over 10,000 titles, with a growing selection of titles available in Spanish, German and French. Our members have unlimited access to this vast library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation-related content and more – 88% of which is exclusively available to our members for digital streaming on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere, commercial free.

Our mission is to create a transformational network that empowers a global conscious community. Content on our network is currently organized into four primary channels—Yoga, Transformation, Alternative Healing, and Seeking Truth—and delivered directly to our members through our streaming platform. We curate programming for these channels by producing content in our in-house production studios with a staff of media professionals. This produced and owned content currently comprises approximately 75% of our members’ viewing time. We complement our produced and owned content through long term licensing agreements.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates and Reclassifications

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations.

Discontinued Operations

Yoga International historically had a line of business focused on one-time transactional course sales. With the launch of a premium membership tier that includes this content, this line of business was discontinued in 2022 as the contractual commitments related to this line of business lapsed. There are no other assets or liabilities associated with this revenue stream. As this represents a strategic shift with a major effect on our operations and financial results, we have presented the results of operations related to winding up this line of business as discontinued operations on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations in 2022.

2. Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of subscription fees paid by our members. We present revenues net of taxes collected from members. Members are billed in advance and revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term. Deferred revenue consists of subscription fees collected from members that have not been earned and is recognized ratably over the remaining term of the subscription. We recognize revenue on a net basis for relationships where our partners have the primary relationship, including billing and service delivery, with the member. Payments made to partners to assist in promoting our service on their platforms are expensed as marketing expenses in the period incurred. We do not allow access to our service to be provided as part of a bundle by any of our partners.

3. Equity and Share-Based Compensation

During the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $599 and $1,267, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense is reported in selling and operating expenses and corporate, general and administration expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no options exercised during the first nine months of 2023 or 2022.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

There were no changes in goodwill for the period from December 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

5. Debt

On September 9, 2020, Boulder Road sold a 50% undivided interest in a portion of our corporate campus to Westside Boulder, LLC (Westside). Boulder Road retained a 50% undivided interest in the property as well as full ownership of our studio and production facilities. Boulder Road received consideration of $13.2 million in the transaction.

On December 28, 2020, Boulder Road and Westside entered into a loan agreement with First Interstate Bank, as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13.0 million. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum, matures on December 28, 2025, is secured by a deed of trust on our corporate campus, a portion of which is owned by Boulder Road and Westside as tenants-in-common and the remainder of which is owned by Boulder Road. Westside and Boulder Road each received 50% of the loan proceeds and are each responsible for 50% of the monthly installments. Gaia guaranteed payment of the mortgage. The mortgage is subject to certain financial covenants related to the underlying property.

On August 25, 2022 (the Closing Date), Gaia, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million with a sublimit of $1.0 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permitted acquisitions or other investments. As of September 30, 2023, $9.0 million was drawn under the Credit Agreement, which is included in Short-term debt and lease liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Loans made, or letters of credit issued, under the Credit Agreement mature on August 25, 2025 and are secured (subject to permitted liens and other exceptions) by a first priority lien on all business assets, including intellectual property, of Gaia and the subsidiary guarantors.

Any advance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%), plus, the SOFR Index Adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin of 2.00%; provided, that, during the existence of a Benchmark Unavailability Period or a SOFR Unavailability Period, advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (iii) SOFR and (iv) 3.00%, plus, in each instance, a margin of 1.00%.

The aggregate outstanding amount of advances under the Credit Agreement is required to be $0 for at least 30 consecutive days during the period commencing on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The company expects this requirement to be satisfied during fourth quarter 2023.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions), including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, pay dividends, enter into transactions with its affiliates and engage in certain fundamental changes. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires Gaia to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 and to not permit the Leverage Ratio to exceed 1.50 to 1.00 for any computation period.

6. Leases

In connection with the sale of a portion of our corporate campus as further discussed in Note 5, we leased the property pursuant to a master lease for an initial term extending through September 30, 2030, with two five-year extensions. We record the right to use the underlying asset for the operating lease term as an asset and our obligation to make lease payments as a liability, based on the present value of the lease payments over the initial lease term. On commencement of the lease, we recorded a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $8,800.

Because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Information related to our right-of-use asset and related lease liability were as follows:

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period (“common stock equivalents”). Common stock equivalents consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method.

8. Income Taxes

Periodically, we perform assessments of the realization of our net deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. Based on our historical operating losses, combined with our plans to continue to invest in our revenue growth and content library, we have a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, our net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis were $80,490 and $26,416 for federal and state, respectively. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is a stimulus bill which was in response to economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $1,750 related to the employee retention credit in Selling and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations with a related receivable balance from the United States government related to the CARES Act, which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9. Non-income Taxes

The Company is subject to tax examinations for Value Added Taxes (VAT). A number of these examinations are ongoing and, in certain cases, have resulted in assessments from taxing authorities. Where a VAT liability with respect to a jurisdiction is probable and can be reliably estimated, the Company accrues for these matters in corporate, general, and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Future developments relating to the foregoing could result in adjustments to these accruals.

10. Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at September 30, 2023 and that can be reasonably estimated are either reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11. Subsequent Events

Class A Common Stock Offering

On October 2, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the Underwriter) relating to the offer and sale of 1,855,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock ($0.0001 par value) (the Shares). We sold the Shares to the Underwriter at the public offering price of $2.70 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $4,678. We provided a 30-day option to the Underwriter to purchase up to an additional 278,250 Shares to cover over-allotments. At time of filing, the over-allotment option was not exercised.

Overview and Outlook

We operate a global digital video subscription service with a library of over 10,000 titles, with a growing selection of titles available in Spanish, German and French that caters to a unique, underserved member base. Our digital content is available to our members on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere, commercial-free. Through our online Gaia subscription service our members have unlimited access to a library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation related content, and more – 88% of which is exclusively available to our members for digital streaming on most internet-connected devices.

Gaia’s position in the streaming video landscape is firmly supported by its wide variety of exclusive and unique content, which provides a complementary offering to other entertainment-based streaming video services. Our original content is developed and produced in-house in our production studios near Boulder, Colorado. By offering exclusive and unique content through our streaming service, we believe we will be able to significantly expand our target member base.

Our available content is currently focused on yoga, transformation, alternative healing, seeking truth and conscious films. This content is specifically targeted to a unique member base that is interested in alternatives and supplements to the content provided by mainstream media. We have grown these content options both organically through our own productions and through strategic acquisitions. In addition, through our investments in our streaming video technology and our user interface, we have expanded the many ways our subscription member base can access our unique library of media titles.

Our core strategy is to grow our subscription business domestically and internationally by expanding our unique and exclusive content library, enhancing our user interface, extending our streaming service to new internet-connected devices as they are developed and creating a conscious community built around our content.

The full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, operations and financial results will depend on a number of evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional discussion regarding risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commencing during the second half of March 2020 and continuing through July 2020, we saw an increase in demand for our content from both current and potential members. This created a positive trend in existing member retention, costs to acquire new members, and the corresponding revenue and cash flow impacts from these higher volumes. This trend dissipated beginning in August 2020, when we saw the online paid media advertising market start to return to historical norms with a corresponding effect on the cost of our online advertising efforts.

12


 

With the rollout of privacy changes affecting a large number of mobile consumers during the summer of 2021 we saw an increase in the costs of our online advertising efforts which reduced the number of new members we add each period with our allocated marketing spend. In addition, in the period of March through October 2022, we lost about 40% of the members we added during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

We are a Colorado corporation. Our principal and executive office is located at 833 West South Boulder Road, Louisville, CO 80027-2452. Our telephone number at that address is (303) 222-3600.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Revenues, net. Revenues increased $0.3 million, or 1.5%, to $20.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $19.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This was primarily driven by an increase in member count.

13


 

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.4 million or 15.4% to $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 related to the increase in revenues and increased content amortization. Gross profit margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 85.2% from 86.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to increased content amortization related to an overall increase in our investment of our original content offerings.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 5.2%, to $16.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven primarily by an increase in marketing spend expenses and tax accruals. These increased expenses are offset by a one-time Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) against payroll tax expense. This ERTC tax credit was recognized upon completion of the filing. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and operating expenses increased to 80.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 78.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 30.0% to $1.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2023 from $2.0 million for three months ended September 30, 2022, driven primarily by decreases in salary and payroll related expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses decreased to 7.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 10.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Revenues, net. Revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 4.5%, to $59.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $62.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This was primarily driven by a post-COVID subscriber contraction, experienced industry wide during the second half of 2022, which resulted in decreased revenue and overall member count into 2023. The reversal of this trend began during the first half of 2023, when we started to see member count growth along with revenues. This steady pace of growth culminated in the third quarter of 2023, when we started to see a return to the pre-contraction revenue levels.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.3 million, or 3.6%, to $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from $8.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased content amortization. Gross profit margin decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 85.6% from 86.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to decreased revenues.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $1.3 million, or 2.7%, to $49.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $48.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven primarily by an increase in marketing spend and tax accruals. These increased expenses are offset by a one-time Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) against payroll tax expense. This ERTC tax credit was recognized upon completion of the filing. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses increased to 82.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 77.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses decreased $0.9 million or 16.1% to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by decreases in salary and payroll expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses decreased to 7.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven primarily by a decrease in revenues.

Seasonality

Our member base growth reflects seasonal variations driven primarily by periods when consumers typically spend more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing, similar to those of traditional TV and cable networks. The effects of the global pandemic have shifted our historical pattern over the past two years, but we have historically experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest growth during May through August. This has historically driven quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but has not historically resulted in corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we also expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital needs arise from working capital required to fund operations, capital expenditures related to acquisition and development of media content, development and marketing of our digital platforms, acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, replacements, expansions and improvements to our infrastructure, and future growth.

14


 

These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our offerings, our ability to expand our customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to our offerings, our expenditures for marketing, and other factors. Additionally, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our media libraries, evaluate possible investments in businesses and technologies, and increase our marketing programs as needed.

Our budgeted content and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2023 are expected to be between $3.0 to $4.0 million which we intend to fund with cash flows generated from operations. These planned expenditures will be predominately utilized to expand our content library and build out the capabilities of our digital platforms. The planned expenditures are discretionary and, with our in-house production capabilities, we have the ability to scale expenditures based on the available cash flows from operations. We began to generate positive cash flows from operations in October 2019 and have continued to generate cash flows from operations since. We expect to continue generating positive cash flows from operations during the remainder of 2023. We generated approximately $10.1 million in cash flows from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, our cash balance was $11.2 million.

As described in Note 5, during August 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement with KeyBank, which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million. Funds from the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permitted acquisitions or other investments. As of September 30, 2023, $9.0 million was drawn under the Credit Agreement, which is included in Long-term debt, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in our market. For any future investment, acquisition, or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring indebtedness.

While there can be no assurances, we believe our cash on hand, our cash expected to be generated from operations, our $10 million revolving line of credit, our potential additional borrowing capabilities now that we have a history of generating positive operating cash flows, and our potential capital raising capabilities will be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, product development, unforeseen operational difficulties, or other factors.

Class A Common Stock Offering

On October 2, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the Underwriter) relating to the offer and sale of 1,855,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock ($0.0001 par value) (the Shares). We sold the Shares to the Underwriter at the public offering price of $2.70 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $4,678. We provided a 30-day option to the Underwriter to purchase up to an additional 278,250 Shares to cover over-allotments. At time of filing, the over-allotment option was not exercised. Proceeds were, and are, expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital, financing of capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, acquisitions and strategic investment opportunities.

Operating activities. Cash flows provided by operations increased approximately $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by changes in earnings, timing of working capital, primarily accounts payable and deferred revenues.

15


 

Investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $4.5 million during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due primarily to the cost reduction initiatives we completed in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities were primarily impacted by borrowing and repayment activities associated with our revolving line of credit.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
