Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Nautilus’ third-quarter results are expected to have benefited from strong demand for its home-fitness equipment owing to the coronavirus-led social distancing practices.

Moreover, pandemic-induced restrictions have forced gyms to shutdown globally to contain the spread of the virus. This is expected to have attracted new customers and driven growth for Nautilus’ at-home fitness products.

Additionally, the growing adoption of curbside pickup services of its retail partners is expected to have boosted demand for the company’s robust product offerings.

Notably, partnerships with e-commerce companies like Best Buy, Amazon and DICK’S Sporting Goods are expected to have led to expansion and customer acquisition for the company.

Moreover, in August, Nautilus launched Blowflex VeloCore, the first stationary, dual-mode bike, which includes a stationery setting and lean mode. This is expected to have added significant value to the company’s existing product portfolio.

Additionally, the company inked an agreement with SEKO Logistics, which is expected to have extended its international footprint to Europe and increased distribution of Bowflex, Schwinn and Nautilus home fitness products.

However, the company is expected to have experienced a slowdown in demand for its at-home fitness equipment in the to-be-reported quarter due to the reopening of gyms. Further, an increase in shipping rates of the logistics partners is expected to have dented the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
