Q2’17 EARNINGS DECKAugust 2, 2017
Safe Harbor StatementThis presentation contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties, including
statements regarding our financial outlook for the third quarter 2017 and the full year of 2017, the quality of our smartwatch user experience, the timing of the retail availability of
our smartwatch, our performance in the second half of the year, and our long-term market opportunity. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ
materially from actual results due to a variety of factors, including: the effects of the highly competitive market in which we operate, including competition from much larger
technology companies; our ability to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences in a timely manner; our ability to successfully develop and timely introduce new products and
services or enhance existing products and services; retail and customer acceptance of existing and new products; any inability to accurately forecast consumer demand and
adequately manage our inventory; our ability to ship products on the timelines we anticipate and unexpected delays; our ability to detect, prevent or fix quality issues in our
products or services; uncertain ability to retain employees; our reliance on third-party suppliers, contract manufacturers, and logistics providers, and our limited control over
such parties; delays in procuring components and product from these third parties or their suppliers; the ability of third parties to successfully manufacture and ship in a timely
manner quality products; seasonality; product liability issues, security breaches or other defects, which may adversely affect product performance, our reputation and brand
awareness and overall market acceptance of our products and services; ability to integrate acquired technologies and employees into our operations, particularly in new
geographies; warranty claims; the fact that the market for connected health and fitness devices is relatively new and unproven; the ability of our channel partners to sell our
products; litigation and related costs; privacy; and other general market, political, economic and business conditions.
Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the full year ended
December 31, 2016, and our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are available on our Investor Relations website at investor.fitbit.com and on the SEC
website at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements contained herein are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and we do not assume any obligation to
update these statements as a result of new information or future events. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking
statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.
This presentation also includes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP
financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of
limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial
measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for
comparison. We have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the appendix.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation(In thousands, except percentages and per share amounts)
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP
financial measures in this presentation: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income
(loss); non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income or loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, revenue on a constant currency basis, and non-
GAAP free cash flow. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to,
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with
useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain
items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present
similar non-GAAP financial measures.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP
financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, specifically stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and the related
income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition,
these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. A
reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables
included in this presentation, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes Jawbone litigation costs, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and
tax effects associated with these items. We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain, out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
13
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation(In thousands, except percentages and per share amounts)
The following are explanations of the adjustments that are reflected in one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
• Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity awards granted primarily to our employees. We exclude stock-based compensation expense
because we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational
performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective
assumptions.
• In January 2017, the Company conducted a reorganization of its business, including a reduction in workforce. The restructuring costs impacted our
results for the first quarter of 2017. Restructuring costs primarily included severance-related costs. We believe that excluding the is expenses
provides great visibility to the underlying performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our results with other periods, and may
also facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.
• Litigation expense relates to legal costs incurred due to litigation with Aliphcom, Inc. d/b/a Jawbone. We exclude these expenses because we do not
believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operations of our business and because of the singular nature of the claims underlying the
Jawbone litigation matters. We began excluding Jawbone litigation costs in the second quarter of 2016 as these costs significantly in 2016, and may
continue to be material for the remainder of 2017. Although not excluded in reporting for the first quarter of 2016, these litigation expenses were $9.1
million in that quarter.
14
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation(In thousands, except percentages and per share amounts)
The following are explanations of the adjustments that are reflected in one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
• In March 2014, we recalled the Fitbit Force after some of our users experienced allergic reactions to adhesives in the wristband. This recall primarily
impacted our results for the fourth quarter of 2013, the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2015.
• Amortization of intangible assets relates to our acquisitions of FitStar, Pebble and Vector. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not
believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.
• Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures such as
stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and valuation allowance in order to provide a more meaningful measure of non-
GAAP net income (loss).
• Purchase of property and equipment is deducted from net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to arrive at non-GAAP free cash flow, which
reflects the amount of cash generated that is available to be used for investments in the business.
• We translated revenue from non-US dollar based transactions for the three and six months ended July 1, 2017 using the exchange rates that were
effective in the comparable prior year period to calculate revenue to exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.
