Interactive Strength Raises 2026 Revenue Guidance to Over $50M

Interactive Strength updated its Investor Presentation, highlighting the increase of its 2026 pro forma revenue guidance of more than $50M and its expectation of achieving profitability in the fourth quarter of 2026. In just over twelve months, TRNR has added three profitable, cash-flow-generative fitness equipment brands to its portfolio. Wattbike closed in July 2025 and Ergatta closed in March. On July 7, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire STEPR, the category leader in connected stair climbing, in a transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. Together, Wattbike, CLMBR, FORME, Ergatta and STEPR give the Company five brands across home and commercial fitness. The updated investor presentation details the financial trajectory that TRNR's acquisition strategy has produced and the terms on which the Company structures its acquisitions. Reported revenue grew from $5.4M in 2024 to $11.5M in 2025, and the Company expects more than $50M in 2026 pro forma revenue with the addition of STEPR. Typically, the vast majority of acquisition consideration is funded in equity that is locked up and contingent on the acquired business meeting future performance targets and a very small portion of is funded in cash at close. The STEPR transaction is expected to be completed at an enterprise value of less than four times its 2027 EBITDA, with a substantial portion of the consideration payable only if STEPR reaches defined EBITDA thresholds through June 2028. Trent Ward, CEO of TRNR, stated: "We are building a fitness equipment holding company by acquiring profitable, category-leading brands and operating them together on a shared platform. We buy at disciplined multiples, structure most of the consideration as locked-up equity tied to future performance, and use the cash flow from the businesses we own to help fund future acquisitions. STEPR is the latest brand to join that portfolio, and the updated presentation shows how the pieces fit together. With the addition of STEPR, we expect more than $50M in 2026 pro forma revenue and Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter of 2026. Gross margins have expanded as the acquired businesses have scaled, and each transaction is structured to be accretive to shareholders. We see a substantial disconnect between the trajectory of the underlying business and the share price and are focused on addressing that over the course of 2026."

Interactive Strength Acquires STEPR for $6.7 Million

Interactive Strength signed a definitive agreement to acquire STEPR. STEPR is a hardware-first fitness company that has built the leading position in connected stair climbing, profitably and bootstrapped with only the founders' capital. It sells both direct to consumers and through major national retail partners, including Dick's Sporting Goods, Rogue Fitness, Johnson Fitness and Scheels, and its machines are used by everyday consumers, elite athletes and commercial facilities. STEPR is growing quickly and is expected to generate more than $15M in revenue in 2026, with immediate earnings accretion to TRNR after closing. The acquisition advances TRNR's strategy of building a global, multi-brand fitness equipment platform through opportunistic acquisitions and disciplined operations. TRNR uses its Nasdaq listing to acquire profitable, cash-flow-generative, premium fitness equipment brands and to operate them together on a shared platform of content, technology, distribution and commercial relationships. STEPR is the latest brand to join a portfolio that already includes Wattbike, CLMBR, FORME and Ergatta, each a leader in its category. TRNR will acquire 100% of STEPR through a combination of cash, debt and contingent stock consideration, including working capital to support growth. TRNR expects to close the transaction in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including completing an audit of financial statements. The consideration is structured as follows: The base transaction value is $6.7M, comprising $2.2M cash and debt re-financing at close, $1.5M in debt for working capital and $3M in TRNR equity locked up until September 30, 2027. Up to $3M in additional TRNR equity could be earned by STEPR achieving $4M in EBITDA in the period from July 2026 to June 2027. This equity would be locked up until September 30, 2027. Up to $10.5M in an additional TRNR equity could be earned based on achieving $7M in EBITDA in the period from July 2027 to June 2028. A final $2.5M could be earned through various quantitative synergies and this tranche of equity would be locked up until September 30, 2028 as well. It is expected that the EV/EBITDA multiple will be less than 4.0x on 2027 EBITDA, given most of the valuation is tied to the EBITDA achieved in the next two years. Consistent with TRNR's acquisition strategy, the deal structure detailed above demonstrates that a substantial portion of the consideration is contingent on STEPR's future performance, and is also designed to minimize near-term dilution and protect downside. The initial cash consideration at closing will be funded through TRNR's existing financing facilities. STEPR's founders have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business post-acquisition.
