Nautilus, Inc. Announces Plans to Change Corporate Name to BowFlex Inc.

Company to also change NYSE ticker to BFX, effective November 1

Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS) announced today plans to change its corporate name to BowFlex Inc., reflecting a focus on the Company’s strongest consumer brand, and continued execution of its growth transformation strategy, North Star.

“In the last few decades, BowFlex has become a powerful brand in our portfolio, recognized for quality and innovative strength and cardio equipment,” commented Jim Barr, Chief Executive Officer and Director. “Our new corporate identity better represents our unique position in connected at-home fitness equipment and reinforces our focus to help people build inner and outer strength. We’re gearing up for an exciting fitness season as we introduce a pipeline of new products this holiday season and continue to position our Company to capitalize on the enduring shift to home fitness.”

The Company expects the corporate name change to be effective November 1, 2023. In tandem, the Company also intends to change its ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange from “NLS” to “BFX” effective on November 1, 2023. BowFlex Inc. will be led by the current management team and will continue its mission of fueling the joy of movement in thousands of people worldwide daily.

The corporate name and ticker symbol change follow the Company’s sale of the Nautilus brand trademark assets and related licenses earlier this year as part of its ongoing comprehensive strategic review.

“As BowFlex Inc., we remain committed to our shareholders, our partners, our customers and our employees,” added Aina Konold, Chief Financial Officer. “We are excited for this next chapter and what it means for us as we continue to execute on our North Star strategy.”
