NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share information and where indicated otherwise)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BACKGROUND
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of Nerdy Inc. (herein referred to as “Nerdy,” the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Nerdy and its consolidated subsidiaries) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Nerdy Inc., a member of Nerdy LLC (as defined below), has the right to appoint a majority of the managers of Nerdy LLC and therefore, controls Nerdy LLC. As a result, the financial results of Nerdy LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and a portion of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below) are entitled to or are required to absorb, are allocated to the noncontrolling interests (the “NCI”).
Background
Nerdy Inc. was formed on September 20, 2021 in connection with a business combination between TPG Pace Tech Opportunities (“TPG Pace”) and Live Learning Technologies LLC (along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “Nerdy LLC”). Nerdy LLC is a holding company that is the sole owner of multiple operating companies, including Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”) and Varsity Tutors for Schools LLC (“Varsity Tutors for Schools”). As a result of the business combination and related transactions, Nerdy LLC merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nerdy Inc., with Nerdy LLC surviving such merger. Nerdy Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership interests in Nerdy LLC and its indirect interests in the subsidiaries of Nerdy LLC, and has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow.
Nerdy Inc. has the following classes of securities issued and outstanding: (i) Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below), have voting rights only, and have no dividend or economic rights. The Company does not intend to list its Class B Common Stock on any stock exchange. Nerdy LLC has units issued and outstanding (the “OpCo Units”) to its members, the legacy holders of Nerdy LLC equity (the “Legacy Nerdy Holder(s)”) and Nerdy Inc. Nerdy Inc. and Nerdy LLC will at all times maintain a one
NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and based on current information, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have an impact on its results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit).
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027), and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company’s adoption of this ASU will result in expanded disclosures

related to expense captions reported on the face of the income statement but will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025), with early adoption permitted. This ASU calls for a prospective method of adoption, but a retrospective method of adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to income taxes but will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 — NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
As of June 30, 2025, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 64,395 OpCo Units, equal to 34.7 % of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 64,395 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of December 31, 2024, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 64,395 OpCo Units equal to 35.4 % of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 64,395 shares of Class B Common Stock.
Nerdy Inc. owned 65.3 % and 64.6 % of the outstanding OpCo Units as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The financial results of Nerdy LLC and its subsidiaries were consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and the portions of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders were entitled to or required to absorb, was allocated to NCI. At the end of each reporting period, Nerdy LLC equity attributable to Nerdy Inc. and the Legacy Nerdy Holders was rebalanced to reflect Nerdy Inc.’s and the Legacy Nerdy Holders’ ownership in Nerdy LLC.
The following table summarizes the changes in ownership of OpCo Units in Nerdy LLC for the periods presented.

Contract liabilities are reported within “Deferred revenue” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of advanced payments from customers for performance obligations that have not been satisfied. Deferred revenue is recognized when the performance obligations have been completed. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of the deferred revenue balance in the next twelve months. The following table presents the Company’s “Accounts receivable, net” and “Deferred revenue” reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

| Deferred revenue | $ | $ | |||||||||
“Accounts receivable, net” is reported net of reserves of $842 and $781 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES
Nerdy Inc. holds an economic interest in Nerdy LLC (see Notes 1 and 3), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Nerdy LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income (loss) or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Nerdy Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits of Nerdy LLC. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Nerdy Inc. as of June 30, 2025.
The effective income tax rate was (0.62 )% and (0.36 )% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate was (0.26 )% and (0.23 )% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both the current and prior year periods, primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and income tax benefit attributable to the NCI. Income tax expense reported in all periods represents amounts owed to state authorities.
On July 4, 2025, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the OBBBA on its financial statements and will continue to monitor any future developments or interpretive guidance.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and accounts payable for which the carrying value approximates fair value due to their short maturities (less than 12 months). Certain assets and liabilities, including definite-lived assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no fair value measurement adjustments recognized related to definite-lived assets or goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
NOTE 11 — RELATED PARTIES
Tax Receivable Agreement
Nerdy Inc. has a tax receivable agreement with certain Legacy Nerdy Holders (the “TRA Holder(s)”) (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by Nerdy Inc. to the TRA Holders of 85 % of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that Nerdy Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the reverse recapitalization (including as a result of cash received in the reverse recapitalization and debt repayment occurring in connection with the reverse recapitalization) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the Nerdy LLC operating agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Nerdy Inc. as a result of, and additional basis arising from, any payments Nerdy Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Nerdy Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15 % of these net cash savings.
As of June 30, 2025, Nerdy Inc. has not recognized a liability of $117,228 under the Tax Receivable Agreement after concluding it was not probable that such Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on its estimates of Nerdy’s LLC future taxable income. Nerdy Inc. did not make any payments to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within the statement of operations.

Legal Proceedings
Independent Contractor Classification Matters
The Company, through its consolidated subsidiaries, is subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings at the federal, state, and municipal levels challenging the classification of third-party Experts on its platform as independent contractors, and claims that, by the alleged misclassification, it has violated various labor and other laws that would apply to employees. The Company disputes any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters.
In 2019, a Complaint was filed in a Superior California Court against Varsity Tutors alleging that Varsity Tutors misclassified California tutors as independent contractors as opposed to employees in violation of the California Labor Code and seeking penalties and other remedies under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). In October 2023, Varsity Tutors agreed to a tentative settlement in this matter. No 2,000 for this matter, which was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Court approved the aforementioned settlement, which Varsity Tutors paid in the first quarter of 2025.
Other
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and actions in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accrual for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 13 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has one reportable segment: Tutoring. The Tutoring Segment generates revenue by selling services to Learners and Institutions for one-on-one instruction and small group tutoring that are fulfilled by Experts, who deliver instruction on its behalf through its proprietary Live Learning Platform. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.
The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The Company’s CODM assesses performance of the Tutoring Segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that also is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net Loss.” Consolidated net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results in order to assess the performance of the Tutoring Segment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Total Assets.” The segment additions to property are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as “Capital expenditures.”
Substantially all of the Company’s tangible long-lived assets and revenues are located within the U.S. The Company does not have a customer that accounted for more than 10% of its consolidated net sales. See Note 4 for the Company’s revenue by business.

OVERVIEW
We operate a platform for live online learning. Our mission is to transform the way people learn through technology. Our purpose-built proprietary platform leverages technology, including artificial intelligence (“AI”), to connect students, users, parents, guardians, and purchasers (“Learner(s)”) of all ages to tutors, instructors, subject matter experts, educators, and other professionals (“Expert(s)”), delivering superior value on both sides of the network. Our comprehensive learning destination provides learning experiences across numerous subjects and multiple formats, including Learning Memberships, one-on-one instruction, small group tutoring, large format classes, tutor chat, essay review, adaptive assessments, and self-study tools. Our flagship business, Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”), is one of the nation’s largest platforms for live online tutoring and classes. Our solutions are available directly to Learners (“Consumer(s)”), as well as through education systems (“Institution(s)”). Our platform offers Experts the opportunity to generate income from the convenience of home, while also increasing access for Learners by removing barriers to high-quality live online learning. Our offerings include Varsity Tutors for Schools, a product suite that leverages our platform capabilities to offer high-dosage tutoring and our online learning solutions to Institutions. We have built a diversified business across the following audiences: K-8, High School, College, Graduate School, and Professional.
KEY OPERATING METRICS
We monitor the following key operating metrics, among others, to evaluate the performance of our business.
“Active Member(s)” is defined as the number of Learners with an active paid Learning Membership as of the date presented. Variations in the number of Active Members are due to changes in demand for our solutions, seasonality, testing schedules, and the launch of new membership options. As a result, we believe Active Members is a key indicator of our ability to attract, engage, and retain Learners. Active Members exclude our Institutional business. Our Active Member count as of June 30, 2025 was lower when compared to June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower retention in older customer cohorts that included a higher proportion of lower frequency Learning Memberships.
| Active Members in thousands | June 30, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | September 30, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

YoY change | (14)% | (12)% | (8)% | 1% | 15% | 40% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“Average Revenue per Member per Month” (“ARPM”) is defined as the average Consumer Learning Membership subscription revenue per member per month as of the date presented. Variations in ARPM are primarily due to changes in the mix of Learning Memberships sold and pricing changes. We believe ARPM is a key indicator of the value we provide to our customers. ARPM excludes our Institutional business. ARPM as of June 30, 2025 was higher when compared to June 30, 2024 due to the mix shift to higher frequency Learning Memberships coupled with price increases enacted during the first quarter of 2025.

“Active Experts” is defined as the number of Experts who have instructed one or more sessions in a given period. We believe Active Experts is a key indicator of our ability to service Learners and provide Experts with revenue-generating opportunities. Active Experts includes our Institutional business. The following table summarizes Active Experts for the periods presented. Our Active Expert count during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the prior year periods decreased due to lower Consumer Active Experts as a result of our Expert incentives, which has promoted utilization of the highest quality Experts by encouraging them to work with more Learners and develop deeper relationships that allow for increased revenue-generating opportunities, coupled with lower utilization of tutoring sessions in our Institutional business as a result of lower bookings.

Revenue
Revenue in both current year periods decreased when compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower Institutional revenue and a specific ($3,007 thousand and $4,475 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively) state-funded Consumer revenue program that did not recur in 2025. For both current year periods, these impacts were partially offset by higher ARPM in our Consumer business as a result of a mix shift to higher frequency Learning Memberships and price increases enacted during the first quarter of 2025, coupled with higher retention in newer cohorts due primarily to improvements in the user experience and new Expert incentives.

| % Margin | 62 | % | 66 | % | 60 | % | 67 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased primarily due to lower Expert costs of $292 thousand, driven by lower utilization of tutoring sessions in our Institutional business when compared to the prior year period as a result of lower bookings. These impacts were partially offset by Expert incentives enacted during the fourth quarter of 2024. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased primarily due to higher Expert costs of $2,211 thousand, primarily driven by the Expert incentives enacted during the fourth quarter of 2024.
We believe these incentives drive Expert satisfaction and engagement with our platform (and Learners) by allowing certain Experts to receive additional income for each sequential recurring session with the same student. Following the adoption of the new incentives, we are seeing faster time to the first session, more sessions in the first 30 days, lower tutor replacement rates, and higher retention.
Gross margin for both current year periods decreased primarily due to Expert incentives enacted during the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 improved sequentially quarter-over-quarter as a result of price increases for new Consumer customers enacted during the first quarter of 2025. We expect to deliver sequential quarterly gross margin improvements as we move throughout the year.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $330 thousand and $638 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses decreased $1,671 thousand, or 11%. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included non-cash stock-based compensation and restructuring costs of $674 thousand and $193 thousand, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $1,173 thousand. Excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses decreased $3,280 thousand, or 10%.
These decreases in sales and marketing expenses were driven by Consumer marketing efficiency gains coupled with the moderation of our investment in the Institutional business given near-term funding uncertainties. We believe a significant
15

opportunity exists in the Institutional space and that the product enhancements we are making to the Live+AI™ platform will drive growth in future periods.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include compensation for certain employees, support services, product and development expenses intended to support continued innovation, and other operating expenses. Product and development costs were $10,683 thousand and $11,569 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Product and development costs were $21,417 thousand and $22,232 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Product and development costs include compensation for employees on our product and engineering teams who are responsible for developing new and improving existing offerings, maintaining our website, improving efficiencies across our organization, and third-party expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included non-cash stock based compensation of $7,208 thousand and $10,676 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses decreased $3,139 thousand, or 14%. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included non-cash stock based compensation and restructuring costs of $14,452 thousand and $455 thousand, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included non-cash stock based compensation $21,253 thousand. Excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses decreased $3,826 thousand, or 9%.
AI-enabled productivity improvements, coupled with new software-driven processes and system implementations, headcount reductions, and other cost reduction efforts, have enabled us to generate operating efficiencies and remove significant costs from the business. Recent advances in AI provide us with the opportunity to drive further levels of productivity, including the agentification of key processes that will allow us to improve both the customer experience and operational consistency while further reducing the operating costs necessary to scale our business.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $365 thousand, a decrease from $879 thousand in the same period in 2024, driven by lower interest income on our cash balances during the current period. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $827 thousand, a decrease from $1,765 thousand in the same period in 2024, driven by lower interest income on our cash balances during the current period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $36,722 thousand and $52,541 thousand, respectively. We have incurred cumulative losses from our operations, and we will likely incur additional losses in the future. Our operations have historically been financed primarily through cash on hand and capital contributions. To the extent we continue to generate negative operating cash flows, it is possible that we may have to finance future operations primarily or in part from cash on hand.
Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements within the next twelve months include working capital requirements, sales and marketing activities, and capital expenditures. We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to satisfy these future requirements.
As of June 30, 2025, we had no debt obligations. Our cash requirements under our contractual obligations and commitments consist primarily of a lease arrangement. For information on our lease obligations and the amount and timing of future payments, see Note 15 within “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our leasing arrangements previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $2,333 thousand and $3,755 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for both periods related to capital expenditures primarily for the development of internal use software and IT equipment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 2 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in Part 1, Item 1 of this report for a discussion regarding recently issued accounting standards.
CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future, including our expectations with respect to: revenue growth; enhancing the Learning Membership experience; continued improvements in sales and marketing leverage; gross margin and operating leverage; the growth of our Institutional business; changes to our marketplace infrastructure systems; simplifying our operations model while growing our business; the sufficiency of our cash to fund future operations. Any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “approximately,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “seeks,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including:
•our offerings continue to evolve, which makes it difficult to predict our future financial and operating results;
•our history of net losses and negative operating cash flows, which could require us to need other sources of liquidity;
•risks associated with our ability to acquire and retain customers, operate, and scale up our Consumer and Institutional businesses;
•risks associated with our intellectual property, including claims that we infringe on a third-party’s intellectual property rights;
17
Table of Contents
•risks associated with our classification of some individuals and entities we contract with as independent contractors;
•risks associated with the liquidity and trading of our securities;
•risks associated with payments that we may be required to make under the tax receivable agreement;
•litigation, regulatory, and reputational risks arising from the fact that many of our Learners are minors;
•changes in applicable law or regulation;
•the possibility of cyber-related incidents and their related impacts on our business and results of operations;
•risks associated with the development and use of artificial intelligence and related regulatory uncertainty;
•the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;
•risks associated with managing our rapid growth; and
•other risks and uncertainties included under “Risk Factors” within Part II, Item 1A of this report and in our 2024 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We expect to remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of TPG Pace Tech Opportunities’ initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1,235,000 thousand, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30 or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1,000,000 thousand in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of June 30, 2025, we continued to be an emerging growth company for our quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2025. However, due to the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the TPG Pace’s initial public offering occurring in 2025, we will no longer be an emerging growth company starting with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and as a result, will no longer be able to take advantage of the exemptions listed above.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. An entity is a “smaller reporting company” based upon the following criteria: (i) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250,000 thousand as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100,000 thousand during the prior fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30. Based upon the facts and circumstances that exist as of June 30, 2025, we will remain a smaller reporting company for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (and interim periods therein) and for our quarterly reports in the 2026 interim periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our exposure to market risk, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates are immaterial.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
For information regarding our legal proceedings, refer to Note 12 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
For disclosure of environmental proceedings with a governmental entity as a party pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K, we have elected to disclose matters where we reasonably believe such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1,000 thousand or more. Applying this threshold, there are no such environmental proceedings to disclose as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), you should carefully consider the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025. As of the date of the Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
