Wattbike acquisition is the latest milestone in transformational strategy and the Sportstech acquisition is on track to close in the third quarter
TRNR confirms guidance of more than $75 million in pro forma 2025 revenue and profitability in fourth quarter
TRNR's $55 million Digital Asset Treasury is actively purchasing $FET cryptocurrency
AUSTIN, TX AND NOTTINGHAM, UK / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2025 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) ("TRNR" or the "Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands and pending acquirer of Sportstech, today announced that it has completed its previously announced all-stock acquisition of Wattbike, the pioneering indoor performance training bike business trusted by elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts worldwide, which has cumulatively sold more than 100,000 bikes.
The closing follows the approval on June 18, 2025 from the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the satisfaction of all material conditions of the binding transaction agreement signed in April 2025. Wattbike's operations will be consolidated into TRNR's results immediately and will be reported in TRNR's third quarter financials.
"Today's acquisition marks the latest milestone in the transformational strategy that we have outlined to investors and should provide increased confidence in our ability to execute against our plan," said Trent Ward, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of TRNR. "Wattbike is now officially part of TRNR, and we look forward to being able to announce the completion of the Sportstech acquisition in the near-term.
Mr. Ward continued: "As a result of those transactions, we expect to generate more than $75 million of pro forma 2025 revenue and achieve profitability in the fourth quarter. When combined with the $55 million we raised a few weeks ago for our innovative Digital Asset Treasury strategy, and the fact that we are actively investing in AI-focused $FET, we believe that TRNR has significant, under-appreciated upside."
Mr. Ward concluded: "Wattbike's operations, thousands of customer gyms and world-class brand give us meaningful assets and scale in the world's second-largest fitness market - the UK. Its differentiated range of products - for both elite and mainstream athletes - also create big potential opportunities in the US, EU and Asia."
Stephen Loftus, CEO of Wattbike, added: "TRNR's unique portfolio of operating assets, combined with its Nasdaq listing, and increasing focus on using cost-effective technology is expected to unlock new levels of growth for Wattbike. We're thrilled to start building the next chapter together."
Recap - Transaction highlights:
100 % of Wattbike acquired in an all-stock deal, with up to 60 % of total consideration subject to performance-based hurdles in order to align business performance with shareholder returns.
The consideration shares are locked up until at least June 2026, and no cash consideration was paid to previous Wattbike shareholders.
Wattbike's projected performance is expected to be immediately accretive to TRNR's 2025 results, and combined with the pending Sportstech transaction, is expected to result in more than $75 million of pro forma 2025 revenue and profitability in Q4 2025.
Creates a diversified connected hardware portfolio spanning cycling (Wattbike), vertical climbing (CLMBR) and digital strength (FORME).
In terms of next steps, TRNR anticipates continuing with integration planning and execution, including optimizing the global distribution networks and channels it already shares with Wattbike - e.g., with entities like Woodway - as well as its manufacturing and supply chain partnerships to drive rapid cost synergies and working-capital optimization.
In addition, joint teams are already working on ways to leverage Wattbike's uniquely differentiated dataset on performance training, including with AI-focused training experiences developed with Fetch.ai and powered by TRNR's recently announced up to $500 million $FET Digital Asset Treasury strategy. Finally, the Sportstech acquisition remains on track to close in the third quarter.
