REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of
Nautilus, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
Vancouver, Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Nautilus, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying supplemental schedule of Form 5500, Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held At End of Year) as of December 31, 2015 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but include supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NAUTILUS, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Nautilus, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General - The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan maintained for the benefit of all eligible employees of Nautilus, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nautilus”). The Plan was established effective January 1, 1999, and contributions to the Plan began on March 4, 1999. The Plan was amended and restated on January 1, 2009 to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and to standardize operating procedures.

Eligibility - The Plan is available to all full-time employees of the Company who are age 18 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Trustee -T. Rowe Price Trust Company (“T. Rowe Price” or “TRP”) is the Plan's trustee and holds all investments of the Plan.

Administration of the Plan - The Company is the named fiduciary and administrator of the Plan, as well as the plan sponsor, as defined by ERISA. The Company has contracted with T. Rowe Price to provide record keeping services with respect to the Plan.

Contributions - Participants may voluntarily contribute between 1% and 75% of their eligible compensation. Employee contributions were limited to $18,000 in 2015 and $17,500 in 2014, as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined contribution plans. After tax contributions are not permitted by the Plan. The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby all newly eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Automatically enrolled participants have their deferral rate set at 3% of eligible compensation and their contributions invested in a designated balanced fund until changed by the participant. The deferral automatically increases by 1%, to a maximum of 6%, annually on January 1.

Matching contributions are subject to certain limitations by the Plan. For each eligible participant, the Company contributes matching contributions equal to (i) 100% of the participant's elective deferrals that do not exceed 1% of compensation for the allocation period and (ii) 50% of the participant's elective deferrals that exceed 1% of compensation for the allocation period but do not exceed 6% of compensation for the allocation period.

Investment Options - Participants direct the investment of their contributions and the Company's matching contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers investments in Nautilus's common stock, a common trust fund, and mutual funds offered through a registered investment company. Participants may not direct more than 20% of their voluntary contributions or transfer more than 20% of their account balance into Nautilus' common stock.

Participant Accounts - A separate account is maintained for each participant. Each account is credited with the participant's and Company's matching contributions and allocations of Plan earnings. All amounts in participant accounts are participant directed.

Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching contribution portion of a participant's account, plus actual earnings thereon, are pursuant to the following vesting schedule.

Effective April 18, 2009, the Plan was amended to fully vest employer matching contributions for eligible employees who were
either active on April 18, 2009 or terminated on or after July 24, 2008 and before April 18, 2009.


6



Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of service, a participant may receive (i) a lump-sum distribution equal to his or her vested account value, (ii) elect to maintain his or her account in the Plan until a future date, or (iii) elect to receive distributions in the form of installment payments.

Forfeitures - Forfeited non-vested balances are used to reduce future employer matching contributions. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, forfeited non-vested balances totaled $2 and $320, respectively. During 2015 and 2014, $7,149 and $5,980 in forfeitures, respectively, were utilized to reduce employer corrective contributions. In addition, during 2015 and 2014, $11,484 and $17,203 of forfeitures, respectively, were used to reduce employer matching contributions.

Notes Receivable from Participants - The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts in amounts ranging from a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Only one loan per participant may be outstanding at any one time. Terms of all loans (other than primary residence loans) are for a period not greater than five years. Primary residence loans are limited to fifteen years. Interest rates are based on the Wall Street Journal's Prime Rate published on the prior business day plus 1%. Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2015 bear interest at a rate of 4.25%. Loan repayments are made via payroll deduction on a bi-weekly basis and are reinvested according to the participant's investment allocation in effect at the time of the loan repayment. Loans are due in full by the end of the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the participant's employment with the Company was terminated.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are generally stated at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

The Company's common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the Plan year.

The Stable Value Fund (see Note 5) is comprised of investment contracts which are stated at fair value (determined based on the net asset value of its underlying investments) and included as a component of investments in the statements of net assets available for benefits; the adjustment from fair value to contract value is reported in a separate line in the statements of net assets available for benefits. The statements of changes in net assets available for benefits are presented on a contract value basis.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Benefit Payments - Benefit payments are recorded when the funds are distributed.

Administrative Expenses - Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid directly by the Company and are excluded from these financial statements. Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants are charged directly to the participant's account and are included in administrative expenses. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation (depreciation) of fair value of investments.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2015,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-12, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III Measurement Date Practical Expedient (ASU 2015-12). ASU 2015-12 Part I designates contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. ASU 2015-l2 Part II simplifies the investment disclosure requirements under existing U.S. GAAP, including eliminating the disclosure of (1) individual investments that represent five percent or more of net assets available for benefits and (2) the net appreciation or depreciation for investments by general type. ASU 2015-12 Part III does not apply to the Plan. The amendments in ASU 2015-12 applicable to the Plan are effective retrospectively for the year ending December 31,2016 with early adoption permitted. Plan management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU
2015-12 on the Plan's financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (ASU 2015-07). ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to include investments in the fair value hierarchy for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient under ASC 820. ASU 2015-07 is effective for the Plan retrospectively for the year ending December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted. Plan management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2015-07 on the Plan's financial statements.


(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active liquid markets for identical securities as of the reporting date;
 
Level 2 - other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume and/or infrequent transactions; and
 
Level 3 - significant inputs that are generally unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Common stocks - Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Mutual funds - Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

Common collective trust funds - Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of units of a bank collective trust. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment adviser reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

(5) STABLE VALUE FUND

The Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a common trust fund sponsored by T. Rowe Price. The Fund invests principally in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) issued by insurance companies; investment contracts issued by banks; structured or synthetic investment contracts (SICs) issued by banks, insurance companies and other issuers, as well as the securities supporting such SICs (underlying assets); separate account contracts (SACs); and other similar instruments that are intended to maintain a constant NAV while permitting participant-initiated benefit-responsive withdrawals for certain events (collectively, investment contracts).

The beneficial interest of each participant is represented by units. Fund units may be redeemed on a daily basis to meet benefit payments and other participant-initiated withdrawals permitted by the Plan at the Fund's constant NAV of $1 per unit. It is the policy of the Fund to use its best efforts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain this value.

Because the Fund is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the Fund. The Fund is presented on the face of the statement of net assets available for benefits at fair value with an adjustment to contract value in arriving at net assets available for benefits. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by T. Rowe Price, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals, and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The fair value of the Fund at December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $744,599 and $759,662, respectively. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.

Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial Plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) changes to the Plan's prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions, (3) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other Plan sponsor

10



events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan administrator believes that any events that would limit the Plan's ability to transact at contract value with participants are probable of not occurring.

In addition, issuers of investment contracts have certain rights to terminate a contract and settle at an amount that differs from contract value. For example, certain breaches by the Fund of its obligations, representations or warranties under the terms of an investment contract can result in its termination at market value, which may differ from contract value. Investment contracts also may provide for termination with no payment obligation from the issuer if the performance of the contract constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or other applicable law. SICs and SACs also may provide issuers with the right to reduce contract value in the event an underlying investment suffers a credit event or the right to terminate the contract in the event certain investment guidelines are materially breached and not cured.

There is also no guarantee that the Fund will always be able to have SICs in place with respect to its fixed income securities or that it will be able to invest the desired portion of its assets in investment contracts that are fully benefit responsive. In the event a replacement from another issuer cannot be secured, the Fund will have to recognize currently the fair value of certain assets, possibly including the contract and/or underlying assets. These values may be less than contract value and could result in a loss of principal and/or reduction in earnings with respect to unit holders' investment in the Fund. Further, in the case of a SAC, the Fund could experience a delay in accessing the assets in the underlying separate account, which, in turn, could result in a further loss of value or earnings. Similarly, a loss of principal or reduction of earnings could occur as a result of a GIC issuer's bankruptcy or other significant credit event that causes the issuer to not satisfy its payment obligations.

The average yields earned by the Fund are as follows:

(6) EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Plan invests in shares of the Company's common stock, at the direction of the participants, and shares of mutual funds and the Stable Value fund managed by T. Rowe Price. TRP is the trustee and record keeper as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions under U.S. Department of Labor regulations.

(7) INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan is based on an underlying non-standardized prototype plan. The prototype plan obtained its latest determination letter on March 31, 2008, in which the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) stated that the prototype plan, as then designed, was qualified under the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan meets the criteria for qualification under the IRC, and that, the related trust is tax exempt. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require the recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions.

(8) PLAN TERMINATION

While it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company may terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of total or partial termination of the Plan, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

(9) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan allows for investment in various securities including mutual funds, common/collective trust funds and the Company's common stock. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect (i) participant's account balances and (ii) the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
