FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

•our financial and business performance, including key business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder;

•our market opportunity and our ability to acquire new clients and retain existing clients;

•our expectations and timing related to commercial product launches;

•the success of our go-to-market strategy;

•our ability to scale our business and expand our offerings;

•our competitive advantages and growth strategies;

•our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash;

•our ability to obtain funding for our future operations;

•the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;

•changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions;

•future global, regional or local economic and market conditions affecting the cannabis industry;

•the development, effects and enforcement of and changes to laws and regulations, including with respect to the cannabis industry;

•our ability to successfully capitalize on new and existing cannabis markets, including our ability to successfully monetize our solutions in those markets;

•our ability to manage future growth;

•our ability to effectively anticipate and address changes in the end-user market in the cannabis industry and the impact that no longer tracking and reporting MAUs may have on our business or the expectations of investors;

•our ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to our platform and our ability to maintain and grow our two sided digital network, including our ability to acquire and retain paying clients;

•the effects of competition on our future business;

•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, officers, key employees or directors; and

•the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. 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” and included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe,” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. 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.

WM Technology, Inc. was initially incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 7, 2019 under the name “Silver Spike Acquisition Corp” (“Silver Spike”). Silver Spike was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On June 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Silver Spike consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Silver Spike, Silver Spike Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), WM Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (when referred to in its pre-Business Combination capacity, “Legacy WMH” and following the Business Combination, “WMH LLC”), and Ghost Media Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the initial holder representative (the “Holder Representative”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Silver Spike was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to WM Technology, Inc.

The Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by WMH LLC and continue to operate through WMH LLC and its subsidiaries, and WM Technology, Inc.’s material assets are the equity interests of WMH LLC indirectly held by it. Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management believes that these accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP in annual financial statements have been omitted or condensed and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. The condensed financial statements of the Company include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, Silver Spike was treated as the acquired company and Legacy WMH was treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy WMH issuing stock for the net assets of Silver Spike, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•Legacy WMH Class A Unit holders, through their ownership of the Class V Common Stock, had the greatest voting interest in the Company with over 50% of the voting interest;

•Legacy WMH selected the majority of the new board of directors of the Company;

•Legacy WMH senior management was the senior management of the Company; and

•Legacy WMH was the larger entity based on historical operating activity and had the larger employee base.

Thus, the financial statements included in this quarterly report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy WMH prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the WMH LLC and Silver Spike following the Business Combination; and (iii) the acquired assets and liabilities of Silver Spike stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WM Technology, Inc. and WM Holding Company, LLC, including their wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. In conformity with GAAP, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the periods. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations from translation of assets and liabilities is insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the valuation of accounts receivable, the useful lives of long-lived assets, income taxes, website and internal-use software development costs, leases, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of warrant liability, deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a relatively new industry where laws and regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. Currently, the majority of U.S. states permit medical cannabis, and several permit adult use. Additionally, while a number of U.S. legislators have introduced various bills to legalize cannabis at the federal level, none of these bills has become law. Currently, under federal law, cannabis, other than hemp (defined by the U.S. government as Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis), is still a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Even in states or territories that have legalized cannabis to some extent, the cultivation, possession, and sale of cannabis all violate the CSA and are punishable by imprisonment, substantial fines, and forfeiture. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they aid and abet another in violating the CSA, or conspire with another to violate the law, and violating the CSA is a predicate for certain other crimes, including money laundering laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If any of the states that permit use of cannabis were to change their laws or the federal government was to actively enforce the CSA or other laws related to the federal prohibition on cannabis, the Company’s business could be adversely affected.

In addition, the Company’s ability to grow and meet its operating objectives depends largely on the continued legalization and regulation of cannabis on a widespread basis. There can be no assurance that such legalization will occur on a timely basis, or at all.

The geographic concentration of the Company’s clients makes the Company vulnerable to a downturn in the local market area. Historically, the Company’s business operations have been located primarily in the State of California, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 56% of the Company’s revenue originated in California.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and does not bear interest.

11

WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company measures credit losses on its trade accounts receivable using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current and forecast information.

The Company calculates the expected credit losses on a pool basis for those trade receivables that have similar risk characteristics. For those trade receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics, the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on an individual basis. Risk characteristics relevant to the Company’s accounts receivable include balance of customer account and aging status.

Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13.9 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts included a higher reserve for at-risk customers that indicated financial difficulties and the impact from macroeconomic factors.

As of September 30, 2022, a receivable due from one single customer accounted for approximately 11% of the total gross accounts receivable outstanding.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Allowance, beginning of period	$	7,971	$	719	$	5,169	$	914
Addition to allowance	10,176		2,355		14,867		3,015
Write-offs, net of recoveries	(4,273)		(49)		(6,162)		(904)
Allowance, end of period	$	13,874	$	3,025	$	13,874	$	3,025

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and qualify for the measurement alternative for equity investments provided in ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value was $6.5 million, which is recorded within Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and consist of internally developed software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and generally over five years for computer equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized website and internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company began to capitalize these costs when preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

The Company assess impairment of property and equipment when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset are less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Leases

The Company classifies arrangements meeting the definition of a lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and instead recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company assess impairment of ROU assets when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such ROU assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may not be recoverable and the estimated fair value attributable to the ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the ROU asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Total net lease costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Total net lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $7.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Sublease rental income is recognized as a reduction to the related lease expense on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded contra rent expense of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.6 million and $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, related to certain ROU assets reducing the carrying values of the lease assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values were estimated using an income approach based on management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived based on the sublease market rent. The impairment charges are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liability

The Company assumed 12,499,993 public warrants originally issued in the initial public offering of Silver Spike (the “Public Warrants”) and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants that were originally issued in a private placement by Silver Spike (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon the Closing, all of which were issued in connection with Silver Spike’s initial public offering and entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2022, 12,499,973 Public Warrants and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding. The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time the warrants may be cashless exercised. The Private Placement Warrants are transferable, assignable or salable in certain limited exceptions. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will cease to be Private Placement Warrants, and become Public Warrants and be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the other Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise of the Warrants

13

WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of our Class A equity holders. Because not all of the voting stockholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with continuing members that provides for a payment to the continuing Class A Unit holders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of redemptions or exchanges of Units. In connection with such potential future tax benefits resulting from the Business Combination, the Company has established a deferred tax asset for the additional tax basis and a corresponding TRA liability of 85% of the expected benefit. The remaining 15% is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from monthly subscriptions and additional offerings for access to the Company’s Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company recognizes revenue when the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition are met. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: the contract with the customer is identified; the performance obligations in the contract are identified; the transaction price is determined; the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract; and revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies these performance obligations in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company excludes sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. For clients that pay in advance for listing and other services, the Company records deferred revenue and recognizes revenue over the applicable subscription term.

The Company offers Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, the Company offers other products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising, client relationship management, digital menu, and delivery and logistics services. The Company’s Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance. The Company has a fixed inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each market, and price is generally determined through a competitive auction process that reflects local market demand. Revenues for these arrangements are recognized over-time, generally during a month-to-month subscription period as the products are provided. The Company rarely needs to allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations. In the rare case that allocation of the transaction price is needed, the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the standalone selling prices of the underlying services at contract inception.

Disaggregation of revenue

Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions include the Company's WM Pages subscription package as well subscriptions to the Company's other SaaS products. The WM Pages subscription package includes access to WM Listings, WM Orders, WM Store, WM Connectors and WM Insights. Additional SaaS subscriptions include WM CRM, WM Dispatch and WM Screens. These subscriptions are typically monthly in nature. Featured and deal listings include the Featured Listings and WM Deals products. Other ad solutions include certain advertising products on and off the Weedmaps marketplace, including WM AdSuite. For a description of these solutions, see the "Business and Organization" section.

Total revenues	$	50,500	$	50,884	$	166,246	$	138,969

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription offerings, as described above, and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 of $8.1 million was fully recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2022 of $6.6 million is expected to be fully recognized within the next twelve months. The Company generally invoices customers and receives payment on an upfront basis and payments do not include significant financing components or variable consideration and there are generally no rights of return or refunds after the subscription period has passed.

All revenues during the periods presented were recognized over time, as opposed to at a point in time. Substantially all of the revenue has been generated in the United States during the periods presented.

Cost of Revenues

The Company’s cost of revenue primarily consists of web hosting, internet service costs, credit card processing costs and inventory costs related to multi-media offerings.

Product Development Costs

Product development costs include salaries and benefits for employees, including engineering and technical teams who are responsible for building new products, as well as improving existing products. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2.3 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12.6 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures fair value of employee stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and allocates the related expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the Class P Units is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied volatilities for comparable companies, the expected life of the award is based on the simplified method. When awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting of the award, the Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met and the expense will be attributed over the performance period.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e., the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under the guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of its annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax provision, and estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), revaluations of the warrant liability, changes in flow-through income not subject to tax and tax law developments.

As a result of the Business Combination, WM Technology, Inc. became the sole managing member of WMH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, WMH LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for the period of January 1 to June 16, 2021 as this period was prior to the Business Combination. Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including WM Technology, Inc. following the Business Combination, on a pro rata basis. WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC following the Business Combination. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was the result of the tax benefit of the Company's pro rata share of losses and tax credits flowing through from WM Holding LLC. The tax benefit related to U.S. federal and state tax benefits from certain Business Combination-related expenses offset, in part, by income taxes recorded during the period ended March 31, 2021 as a result of an audit performed by the Canada Revenue Agency on prior years income taxes paid by the Company’s subsidiary, WM Canada Holdings, Inc. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of warrant valuations, non-controlling interests represented by the portion of the flow-through income not subject to tax, permanent stock-based compensation and state taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired additional interest in WM Holding Company LLC (“LLC Interests”) in connection with the exchange of LLC Interests, and activity relating to its stock compensation plan. The Company recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $28.5 million associated with the basis difference in its investment in WM Holding Company LLC upon acquisition of these LLC Interests, some of which are related to the additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”), some of which are partially offset by the TRA liability amount of $14.3 million, and these amounts were recorded through equity.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain income tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the reporting period. See Note 13 for additional information on dilutive securities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Management believes that the risk of loss is not significant and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Reclassifications

Repayments of insurance premium financing in the amount of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was previously classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows under cash used in the operating activities in the prior year. During the nine month ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified the repayments to cash used in financing activities in accordance with ASC 230 - Statement of Cash Flows. There is no impact to the total cash flow activities from this reclassification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

During the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it is subject to various claims and litigation. Management believes that the outcome of such claims or litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

4.    Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

	Level	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Public Warrants	1	$	4,125	$	16,750
Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants	3	2,730		10,710
Total warrant liability		$	6,855	$	27,460

The following tables summarize the changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
	Public Warrants		Private Placement Warrants		Warrant Liabilities		Public Warrants		Private Placement Warrants		Warrant Liabilities

Public Warrants

The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants, based on the publicly listed trading price of such warrants as of the valuation date. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. The fair value of the Public Warrants was $4.1 million and $16.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Private Placement Warrants

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes model. The significant inputs and assumptions in this method are the stock price, exercise price, volatility, risk-free rate, and term or maturity. The underlying stock price input is the closing stock price as of each valuation date and the exercise price is the price as stated in the warrant agreement. The volatility input was determined using the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies which operate in a similar industry or compete directly against the Company. Volatility for each comparable publicly traded company is calculated as the annualized standard deviation of daily continuously compounded returns. The Black-Scholes analysis is performed in a risk-neutral framework, which requires a risk-free rate assumption based upon constant-maturity treasury yields, which are interpolated based on the remaining term of the Private Placement Warrants

18

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

as of each valuation date. The term/maturity is the duration between each valuation date and the maturity date, which is five years following the date the Business Combination closed, or June 16, 2026.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Stock price	$	1.61		$	5.98
Volatility	87.5		%	52.4		%
Term (years)	3.71			4.46
Risk-free interest rate	4.18		%	1.18		%

Significant changes in the volatility would result in a significant lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was $2.7 million and $10.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are presented within warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

5.     Business Combination

As previously discussed in Note 1, on June 16, 2021, the Company consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Closing, the following occurred:

•Silver Spike was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “WM Technology, Inc.”

•The Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by WMH LLC and continue to operate through WMH LLC and its subsidiaries, and WM Technology, Inc.’s material assets are the equity interests of WMH LLC indirectly held by it.

•The Company consummated the sale of 32,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (together, the “PIPE Financing”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements dated as of December 10, 2020, for an aggregate price of $325.0 million.

•The Company contributed approximately $80.3 million of cash to WMH LLC, representing (a) the net amount held in the Company’s trust account following the redemption of 10,012 shares of Class A Common Stock originally sold in the Silver Spike’s initial public offering, less (b) cash consideration of $455.2 million paid to Legacy WMH Class A equity holders, plus (c) $325.0 million in aggregate proceeds from the PIPE Financing, less (d) the aggregate amount of transaction expenses incurred by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement.

•The Company transferred $455.2 million to the Legacy WMH equity holders as cash consideration.

•The Legacy WMH equity holders retained an aggregate of 65,502,347 Class A Units and 25,896,042 Class P Units.

•The Company issued 65,502,347 shares of Class V Common Stock to Class A Unit holders, representing the same number of Class A Units retained by the Legacy WMH equity holders.

•The Company, the Holder Representative and the Class A Unit holders entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, pursuant to which WM Technology, Inc. will pay to WMH LLC Class A equity holders 85% of the net income tax savings that WM Technology, Inc. actually realizes as a result of increases in the tax basis of WMH LLC’s assets as a result of the exchange of Units for cash in the Business Combination and future exchanges of the Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and certain other tax attributes of

19

WMH LLC and tax benefits related to the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the Unit holders entered into the Exchange Agreement. The terms of the Exchange Agreement, among other things, provide the Unit holders (or certain permitted transferees thereof) with the right from time to time at and after 180 days following the Business Combination to exchange their vested Paired Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or Class P Units for shares of Class A Common Stock with a value equal to the value of such Class P Units less their participation threshold, or in each case, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

6.     Acquisitions

Eyechronic

On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interests of Eyechronic LLC (“Eyechronic”) d/b/a Enlighten and rebranded as WM Screens, a Delaware limited liability company and a provider of software, digital signage services and multi-media offerings to dispensaries and brands, for total consideration of approximately $29.4 million. The Company accounted for the Eyechronic acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805.

The acquired assets and liabilities of Eyechronic were recorded at their preliminary acquisition date fair values. The purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company continues to gather information relevant to its determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired primarily related to, but not limited to, intangible assets. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocations will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the components of consideration and the preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired (in thousands):

Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration (1)	$	697
Share consideration (2)	28,725
Total consideration	$	29,422

____________________________________

(1)Includes $0.2 million settlement of pre-existing accounts payable with Eyechronic and holdback of $0.1 million recorded within other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2)The fair value of share consideration was calculated based on 5,399,553 shares of Class A common stock multiplied by the share price on the closing date of $5.32. This includes 677,847 of holdback shares to be issued subject to customary indemnification obligations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred transaction expenses associated with the Eyechronic acquisition of $0.1 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The revenue and operating loss from Eyechronic included the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not material. Pro forma revenue and earnings amounts on a combined basis have not been presented as they are not material to the Company’s historical pre-acquisition financial statements.

For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment and is generally deductible for tax purposes.

The fair values of the trade name and software technology intangible assets are determined using an “income approach”, specifically, the relief-from royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these assets. Owning these intangible assets means that the underlying entity wouldn’t have to pay for the privilege of deploying those assets. Therefore, a portion of the acquired entity’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the assets, can be attributed to the firm’s ownership. The fair values of the customer relationships and customer backlog assets were also determined using an “income approach”, specifically a multi-period excess earnings approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are expected to decline over time.

Sprout

On September 3, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Sprout business (“Sprout") now d/b/a WM CRM, a leading, cloud-based customer relationship management (“CRM”) and marketing platform for the cannabis industry, for total consideration of approximately $31.2 million. The Company accounted for the Sprout acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805- Business Combinations.

The following table summarizes the components of consideration and the estimated fair value of assets acquired (in thousands):

Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration	$	12,000
Share consideration(1)	19,186
Total consideration	$	31,186

Estimated Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:

___________________________________

(1)The fair value of share consideration issued in connection with the Spout acquisition was calculated based on 1,244,258 shares of Class A common stock issued multiplied by the share price on the closing date of $15.42.

For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment and is generally deductible for tax purposes.

Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are expected to decline over time. The fair value of the customer relationships are determined using an “income approach”, specifically, the With-and-Without method, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This method estimates the value of customer-related assets by quantifying the impact on cash flows under a scenario in which the customer-related assets must be replaced and assuming all of the existing assets are in place except the customer-related assets. Essentially, it estimates the intangible asset’s value by calculating the difference between the two discounted cash-flow models. One that represents the status quo for the business enterprise with the asset in place and the second that represents the business enterprise with everything in place besides the customer-related asset. The projected cash flow period is the time-period it takes to build back up to that status quo. The difference between the two cash flows represents the calculated value of the customer-related asset.

As part of Silver Spike’s initial public offering, 12,500,000 Public Warrants were sold. The Public Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The Public Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The Public Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 16, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MAPSW.”

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants starting July 16, 2021, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder of Public Warrants, and if, and only if, the reported last sales price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalization and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders of Public Warrants.

Simultaneously with Silver Spike’s initial public offering, Silver Spike consummated a private placement of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants with Silver Spike’s sponsor (“Silver Spike Sponsor”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions, and they are nonredeemable as long as they are held by Silver Spike Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Silver Spike Sponsor, as well as its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis and will have certain registration rights related to such Private Placement Warrants. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than Silver Spike Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company concluded the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, or the Warrants, meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815- Derivatives and Hedging (as described in Note 2) and are recorded as liabilities. Upon the Closing, the fair value of the Warrants was recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the Warrants are remeasured as of each balance sheet date, which resulted in non-cash gains of $6.6 million and $45.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and non-cash gains of $20.6 million and $83.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interest represents the Units held by holders other than the Company. As of September 30, 2022, the noncontrolling interests owned 39.9% of the Units outstanding. The noncontrolling interests’ ownership percentage can fluctuate over time, including as the WMH LLC equity holders elect to exchange Units for Class A Common Stock. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of WMH LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by the WMH LLC Unit equity holders as noncontrolling interests.

12.     Stock-based Compensation

WM Holding Company, LLC Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has accounted for the issuance of Class A-3 and Class B Units issued under WM Holding Company, LLC’s Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with ASC 718 - Stock Based Compensation. The Company considers the limitation on the exercisability of the Class A-3 and Class B Units to be a performance condition and records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met.

In connection with the Business Combination, each of the Class A-3 Units outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled, and the holder thereof received a number of Class A units representing limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the “Class A Units”) and an equivalent number of shares of Class V Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (together with the Class A Units, the “Paired Interests”), and each of the Class B Units outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled and holders thereof received a number of Class P units representing limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the “Class P Units” and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), each in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the Unit holders entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). The terms of the Exchange Agreement, among other things, provide the Unit holders (or certain permitted transferees thereof) with the right from time to time at and after 180 days following the Business Combination to exchange their vested Paired Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or Class P Units for shares of Class A Common Stock with a value equal to the value of such Class P Units less their participation threshold, or in each case, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

A summary of the Class P Unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Units
Outstanding Class P Units, December 31, 2021	25,660,529
Cancellations	(48,807)
Exchanged for Class A Common Stock	(10,191,901)
Outstanding, Class P Units, September 30, 2022	15,419,821
Vested, September 30, 2022	14,534,582

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for non-vested Class P Units was $2.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the Class P Units of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the Class P Units of $1.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Due to the Business Combination completed in the second quarter of 2021, certain limitations on exercisability related to the Company’s Class P equity awards issued to employees and consultants were removed and as a result, the Company recognized the life-to-date expense on units vested through the Business Combination date on those equity awards during the 2021 period. The stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included a one-time incremental expense of $4.1 million related to an award modification as a result of an advisory agreement entered into with a former executive.

WM Technology, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the WM Technology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of

nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants. As of September 30, 2022, 25,768,971 shares of Class A Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares of Class A Common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2022, 12,127,760 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for future issuance.

A summary of the restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of RSUs	Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2021	5,829,881	$	10.91
Granted	6,639,434	$	5.50
Vested	(1,775,332)	$	9.44
Forfeited	(1,834,430)	$	9.22
Non-vested at September 30, 2022	8,859,553	$	8.08

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for non-vested RSUs was $63.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the RSUs of $5.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) with performance and service-based vesting conditions. The level of achievement of such goals may cause the actual number of units that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the original units granted. The Company recognizes expense ratably over the vesting period for the PRSUs when it is probable that the performance criteria specified will be achieved. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

A summary of the PRSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of PRSUs	Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2021	2,437,500	$	6.40
Granted	—	$	—
Vested	—	$	—
Forfeited	—	$	—
Non-vested at September 30, 2022	2,437,500	$	6.40

During the second quarter of 2022, management determined that the achievement of the minimum thresholds of the performance criteria of its PRSUs is not probable. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment to reverse all stock compensation expense previously recorded for these awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation credits for the PRSUs of $4.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation expense related to these PRUs was $15.6 million, which will be amortized over the remaining requisite service period if and when the Company determines that vesting is probable.

13.     Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock adjusts basic net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock for the potentially dilutive impact of securities. For warrants that are liability-classified, during periods when the impact is dilutive, the Company assumes share settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value of the warrant liability, net of the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, and adjusts the denominator to include the dilutive shares calculated using the treasury stock method.

Our weedmaps.com site, our iOS Weedmaps mobile application and our Android Weedmaps mobile application also have educational content including news articles, information about cannabis strains, a number of “how-to” guides, policy white-papers and research to allow consumers to educate themselves on cannabis and its history, uses and legal status. While consumers can discover cannabis products, brands, and retailers on our site, we neither sell (or fulfill purchases of) cannabis products, nor do we process payments for cannabis transactions across our marketplace or SaaS solutions.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On June 16, 2021, Silver Spike consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Silver Spike, Silver Spike Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), Legacy WMH, and Ghost Media Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the initial holder representative (the “Holder Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy WMH, whereupon the separate limited liability company existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy WMH became the surviving company and continued in existence as a subsidiary of Silver Spike. On the Closing Date, and in connection with the Closing, Silver Spike changed its name to WM Technology, Inc. Legacy WMH was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 805. While Silver Spike was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy WMH was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy WMH became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the Closing.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Legacy WMH in many respects. Under this method of accounting, Silver Spike was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Legacy WMH was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Legacy WMH (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by Silver Spike for the stock of Legacy WMH). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Legacy WMH became the historical financial statements of the combined company, and Silver Spike’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with Legacy WMH beginning on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Legacy WMH. The net assets of Silver Spike were recognized at historical cost (which are consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, Legacy WMH became the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which requires us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We have and expect to continue to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Key Operating and Financial Metrics

Revenue

We offer Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, we offer other products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising, customer relationship management, digital menus, and delivery and logistics services. Our Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance. We have a fixed inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each market, and price is generally determined through a competitive auction process that reflects local market demand, though we are testing a more dynamic, performance-based pricing model for these solutions across several markets. For clients that pay us in advance for listing and other services we record deferred revenue and recognize revenue over the applicable subscription term.

Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts

Our financial statements, including net income (loss), are prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information regarding the components within our net income (loss), see “Components of Our Results of Operations” below.

Net (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $(10.5) million and $49.2 million, respectively. The decrease in net income of $59.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue of $0.4 million, an increase in operating expenses of $23.3 million, a decrease in other income of $39.0 million, which includes a decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of $39.2 million, and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $3.0 million.

Net (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $(21.8) million and $73.8 million, respectively. The decrease in net income of $95.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in revenue of $27.3 million, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $70.9 million, a decrease in other income of $57.9 million, which includes a decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of $63.0 million, and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $5.9 million. For more information regarding the components of our net (loss) income, see “Components of Our Results of Operations” below.

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net income (loss) before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, transaction related bonuses, transaction costs, legal settlements and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to exclude provision for doubtful accounts for the case of Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net (loss) income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA; from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA; and from Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts

We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted

36

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts is as follows:

Average Monthly Revenue Per Paying Client

Average monthly revenue per paying client measures how much clients, for the period of measurement, are willing to pay us for our subscription and additional offerings and the efficiency of the bid-auction process for our featured listings placements. We calculate this metric by dividing the average monthly revenue for any particular period by the average monthly number of paying clients in the same respective period.

Average Monthly Paying Clients

We define average monthly paying clients as the monthly average of clients billed each month over a particular period (and for which services were provided). Our paying clients include both individual cannabis businesses as well as retail sites or businesses within a larger organization that have independent relationships with us, many of whom are owned by holding companies where decision-making is decentralized such that purchasing decisions are made, and relationships with us are located, at a lower organizational level. In addition, any client may choose to purchase multiple listing solutions for each of their retail sites or businesses. Average monthly paying clients for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased approximately 25% to 5,576 average monthly paying clients from 4,444 average monthly paying clients in the same period in 2021. Average monthly paying clients for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased approximately 28% to 5,380 average monthly paying clients from 4,194 average monthly paying clients in the same period in 2021. The increase in average monthly paying clients in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily due to new client acquisitions across existing and new states and new clients acquired through acquisitions. This growth was fully offset by a decline in our Revenue Per Paying Client. We expected these pressures given the continued liquidity challenges that clients are facing.

Average monthly paying clients	5,576	4,444	5,380	4,194

Monthly Active Users

In addition to key financial and operational metrics listed above, we also previously reported Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”), which represented, in any given period, the total number of unique users who opened our Weedmaps mobile app or gained access to our Weedmaps.com website, including through paid advertising channels, during the final calendar month of the period. As discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (the “Prior 10-Q”), we decided to reevaluate the value to investors of continuing to report MAUs as a key metric on a quarterly or annual basis. We believe that historically, our MAU correlated to the level of our marketing expenditure (which, as previously explained, utilized pop-under advertisements). We observed this as we downshifted our marketing spend, including to rely less on the use of pop-under advertisements, during the third quarter.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2022, our MAUs decreased to 11.2 million in the final month of the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 17.4 million in the final month of quarter ended June 30, 2022. Our listing page visits, which is the number of visits to retailer and brand listing pages on the marketplace, remained relatively steady during the same period, decreasing slightly from 13.3 million in the final month of the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to 12.8 million during the final month of the quarter ended September 30, 2022. We believe this reflects, among other things, the value proposition the marketplace provides to repeat cannabis consumers.

We are evaluating alternative metrics to provide investors that will shed more clarity on down-funnel marketplace behavior than MAUs historically have, and we have determined not to report MAUs going forward..

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Growth of Our Two-Sided Weedmaps Marketplace

We have historically grown through and intend to focus on continuing to grow through the expansion of our two-sided marketplace, which occurs through growth of the number and type of businesses and consumers that we attract to our platform. We believe that expansion of the number and types of cannabis businesses that choose to list on our platform will continue to make our platform more compelling for consumers and drive traffic and consumer engagement, which in turn will make our platform more valuable to cannabis businesses.

Growth and Retention of Our Paying Clients

Our revenue grows primarily through acquiring and retaining paying clients and increasing the revenue per paying client over time. We have a history of attracting new paying clients and increasing their annual spend with us over time, primarily due

38

to the value they receive once they are onboarded and able to take advantage of the benefits of participating in our two-sided marketplace and leveraging our software solutions.

Prices of certain commodity products, including gas prices, are historically volatile and subject to fluctuations arising from changes in domestic and international supply and demand, labor costs, competition, market speculation, government regulations, trade restrictions and tariffs, the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and Russia’s initiation of military action against Ukraine. Increasing prices in the component materials for the goods or services of our clients may impact their ability to maintain or increase their spend with us and their ability to pay their invoices on time. Rapid and significant changes in commodity prices, such as fuel, may negatively affect our revenue if our clients are unable to mitigate inflationary increases through various customer pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives. This could also negatively impact our net dollar retention and our collections on accounts receivable.

Regulation and Maturation of Cannabis Markets

We believe that we will have significant opportunities for greater growth as more jurisdictions legalize cannabis for medical and/or adult-use and the regulatory environment continues to develop. Thirty-eight U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several U.S. territories have legalized some form of whole-plant cannabis cultivation, sales, and use for certain medical purposes. Nineteen of those states and the District of Columbia have also legalized cannabis use by adults for non-medical or adult-use purposes, and several other states are at various stages of similar legalization measures. We intend to explore new expansion opportunities as additional jurisdictions legalize cannabis for medical or adult use and leverage our business model informed by our 14-year operating history to enter new markets.

We also have a significant opportunity to monetize transactions originating from users engaging with a retailer on the Weedmaps marketplace or tracked via one of our Weedmaps for Business solutions. Given U.S. federal prohibitions on plant-touching businesses and our current policy not to participate in the chain of commerce associated with the sale of cannabis products, we do not charge take-rates or payment fees for transactions originating from users who engage with a retailer on the Weedmaps platform or tracked via one of our Weedmaps for Business solutions. A change in U.S. federal regulations could result in our ability to engage in such monetization efforts without adverse consequences to our business.

Our long-term growth depends on our ability to successfully capitalize on new and existing cannabis markets. Each market must reach a critical mass of both cannabis businesses and consumers for listing subscriptions, advertising placements and other solutions to have meaningful appeal to potential clients. As regulated markets mature and as we incur expenses to attract paying clients and convert non-paying clients to paying clients, we may generate losses in new markets for an extended period.

Furthermore, we compete with cannabis-focused and general two-sided marketplaces, internet search engines, and various other newspaper, television and media companies and other software providers. We expect competition to intensify in the future as the regulatory regime for cannabis becomes more settled and the legal market for cannabis becomes more accepted, which may encourage new participants to enter the market, including established companies with substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than existing market participants. Our current and future competitors may also enjoy other competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, more offerings and larger marketing budgets.

Brand Recognition and Reputation

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand identity and our reputation is critical to maintaining and growing our relationships with clients and consumers and to our ability to attract new clients and consumers. Historically, a substantial majority of our marketing spending was on out-of-home advertising on billboards, buses and other non-digital outlets. Starting in 2019, consistent with the overall shift in perceptions regarding cannabis, a number of demand-side digital advertising platforms allowed us to advertise online. We also invested in growing our internal digital performance advertising team. We believe there is an opportunity to improve market efficiency through digital channels and expect to shift our marketing spending accordingly. Over the longer term, we expect to shift and accelerate our marketing spend to additional online and traditional channels, such as broadcast television or radio, as they become available to us.

Negative publicity, whether or not justified, relating to events or activities attributed to us, our employees, clients or others associated with any of these parties, may tarnish our reputation and reduce the value of our brand. Given our high visibility and relatively long operating history compared to many of our competitors, we may be more susceptible to the risk of negative publicity. Damage to our reputation and loss of brand equity may reduce demand for our platform and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, any attempts to rebuild our reputation and restore the value of our brand may be costly and time consuming, and such efforts may not ultimately be successful.

39

We also believe that the importance of our brand recognition and reputation will continue to increase as competition in our market continues to develop. If our brand promotion activities are not successful, our operating results and growth may be adversely impacted.

Investments in Growth

We intend to continue to make focused organic and inorganic investments to grow our revenue and scale operations to support that growth.

Given our long operating history in the United States and the strength of our network, often businesses will initially list on our platform without targeted sales or marketing efforts by us. However, we plan to accelerate our investments in marketing to maintain and increase our brand awareness through both online and offline channels. We also plan to invest in expanding our business listings thereby enhancing our client and consumer experience, and improving the depth and quality of information provided on our platform. We also intend to continue to invest in several areas to continue enhancing the functionality of our Weedmaps for Business offering. We expect significant near-term investments to enhance our data assets and evolve our current listings and software offerings to our brand clients, among other areas. We anticipate undertaking such investments in order to be positioned to capitalize on the rapidly expanding cannabis market.

On January 14, 2022, we acquired Eyechronic LLC (“Eyechronic”) d/b/a Enlighten, a Delaware limited liability company and a provider of software, digital signage services and multi-media offerings to dispensaries and brands. We are continuing to integrate Eyechronic and our other acquisitions and will continue to invest in them appropriately to scale during this fiscal year 2022.

On September 3, 2021, we acquired certain assets of the Sprout business (“Sprout"), a leading, cloud-based customer relationship management (“CRM”) and marketing platform for the cannabis industry.

On September 29, 2021, we acquired all of the equity interests of Transport Logistics Holding Company, LLC (“TLH”), which is the parent company of Cannveya & CannCurrent. Cannveya is a logistics platform that enables the compliant delivery of cannabis and CannCurrent is a technology integrations and connectors platform facilitating custom integrations with third party technology providers.

As operating expenses and capital expenditures fluctuate over time, we may accordingly experience short-term, negative impacts to our operating results and cash flows.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues

We offer Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, we offer other products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising, customer relationship management, digital menus, and delivery and logistics services. Our Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance. We have a fixed inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each market, and price is generally determined through a competitive auction process that reflects local market demand, though we are testing a more dynamic, performance-based pricing model for these solutions across several markets. For clients that pay us in advance for listing and other services we record deferred revenue and recognize revenue over the applicable subscription term.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of web hosting, internet service, credit card processing costs and inventory costs related to multi-media offerings.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist of salaries, benefits, travel expense and incentive compensation for our sales and marketing employees. In addition, sales and marketing expenses include business acquisition marketing, events cost, and branding and advertising costs. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute basis as we enter new markets. Over the longer term, we expect sales and marketing expense to increase in a manner consistent with revenue growth, however, we may experience fluctuations in some periods as we enter and develop new markets or have large one-time marketing projects.

40

Product Development Expenses

Product development costs consist of salaries and benefits for employees, including engineering and technical teams who are responsible for building new products, as well as maintaining and improving existing products. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. The majority of our new software development costs have historically been expensed. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important for our growth and expect our product development expenses will increase in a manner consistent with revenue growth as our operations grow.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefit costs for our employees involved in general corporate functions including our senior leadership team as well as costs associated with the use by these functions of software and facilities and equipment, such as rent, insurance, and other occupancy expenses. General and administrative expenses also include provision for doubtful accounts and professional and outside services related to legal and other consulting services.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation on computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, capitalized software development costs and amortization of purchased intangibles. We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase on an absolute basis for the foreseeable future as we scale our business.

	2022		2021		($)		(%)
	(dollars in thousands)
Revenues	$	50,500	$	50,884	$	(384)	(1)

Total revenues remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Compared to the prior year period, revenue increased $1.3 million from our Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions, offset by a decrease in revenue from featured and deal listings of $1.7 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, featured and deal listings, Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions and other ad solutions represented approximately 69%, 24% and 7% of our total revenues, respectively.

	(dollars in thousands)
Cost of revenues	$	4,272		$	2,035		$	2,237	110
Gross margin	92		%	96		%

Cost of revenues was $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily related to an increase of $1.5 million for cost of revenue associated with WM CRM and WM AdSuite and an increase of $0.7 million of server costs.

	2022			2021			($)		(%)
	(dollars in thousands)
Sales and marketing expenses	$	17,882		$	12,806		$	5,076	40
Percentage of revenue	35		%	25		%

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.1 million, or 40%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs of $6.2 million, an increase in outside services of $0.5 million and an increase in travel and entertainment of $0.3 million, offset by a decrease in website advertising expense of $2.0 million. The increase in personnel-related costs was primarily due to increased headcount and it includes an increase in salaries and wages of $4.4 million, an increase in bonus expense of $1.1 million, an increase in payroll taxes of $0.4 million and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million. Bonus expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 includes $0.8 million of expense related to future bonus payouts in connection with prior acquisitions.

The increase in personnel-related costs includes an increase in severance costs of $2.0 million, due to the reduction in force in the 2022 period, an increase in salaries and wages of $1.3 million, an increase in employee benefits of $0.8 million and an increase in bonus expense of $0.2 million, which includes a $0.1 million expense in the 2022 period related to future bonus payouts in connection with prior acquisitions, offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased primarily due to an adjustment to reverse all expense previously recognized related to the performance-based restricted stock units in the third quarter of 2022 when we determined that attainment on these awards was not probable. The increase in professional fees of $1.4 million includes a $2.1 million expense related to certain legal

43

settlements and other legal costs incurred in the 2022 period and an increase in other professional fees of $0.8 million, offset by a decrease in transaction costs of $1.5 million, which was incurred in the 2021 period related to the Business Combination.

Seasonality

Our rapid growth and recent changes in legislation have historically offset seasonal trends in our business. While seasonality has not had a significant impact on our results in the past, our clients may experience seasonality in their businesses which in turn can impact the revenue generated from them. Our business may become more seasonal in the future and historical patterns in our business may not be a reliable indicator of future performance.

Cash	$	34,170	$	67,777
Accounts receivable, net	16,642		17,550
Working capital	24,937		61,134

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $34.2 million. During the second quarter of 2021, we completed the Business Combination, resulting in proceeds of approximately $80.0 million. Our funds are being used for funding our current operations and potential strategic acquisitions in the future. We also intend to increase our capital expenditures to support the organic growth in our business and operations. We expect to fund our near-term capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities. We believe that our existing cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. We may seek to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors. We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on acceptable terms, or at all.

Sources of Liquidity

We primarily finance our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows generated by operations.

To the extent existing cash and investments and cash from operations are not sufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds. We may seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict operations. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders. We may enter into investment or acquisition transactions in the future, which could require us to seek additional equity financing, incur indebtedness, or use cash resources.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(8,293)	$	52,382

Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities consists primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of warrant liability, impairment charges, stock-based compensation, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred taxes and the effect of changes in working capital.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $10.5 million, which resulted from a net loss of $21.8 million, together with net cash outflows of $4.7 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities, and non-cash items of $16.0 million, consisting of depreciation and amortization of $8.9 million, fair value of warrant liability of $20.6 million, stock-based compensation of $17.3 million, deferred income taxes of $5.7 million, provision for doubtful accounts of $14.9 million and impairment loss of $1.3 million. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $13.1 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.2 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.0 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities are mostly due to fluctuations in timing of cash receipts and payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $28.9 million, which resulted from net income of approximately $73.8 million, together with net cash inflows of approximately $6.8 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities, and non-cash items of $51.6 million, consisting of depreciation and amortization of

47

$3.0 million, fair value of warrant liability of $83.6 million, stock-based compensation of $23.6 million, impairment loss of $2.4 million and provision for doubtful accounts of $3.0 million. The net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.2 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.3 million and an increase in deferred revenue of $2.5 million. These changes were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivables of $6.4 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities are mostly due to fluctuations in timing of cash receipts and payments.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $14.8 million, which resulted from $13.1 million cash paid for purchases of property and equipment, including certain capitalized software development costs, $0.7 million net cash paid for an acquisition and $1.0 million cash paid for an acquisition holdback release.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $23.2 million, which resulted from cash paid for acquisitions of $16.0 million, purchases of property and equipment of $4.2 million and cash paid for other investments of $3.0 million.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Cash outflows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $8.3 million, which primarily consists of repayments of insurance premium financing of $5.8 million and distributions of $2.4 million to the Unit holders other than the Company.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $52.4 million, which primarily resulted from proceeds from the Business Combination of approximately $80.0 million, distributions of $18.1 million, repurchase of Class B Units of $5.6 million and repayments of insurance premium financing of $3.7 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, income taxes, stock-based compensation, capitalized software development costs, provision for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets and fair value measurements to have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are derived primarily from monthly subscriptions and additional offerings for access to the Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. We recognize revenue when the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition are met. We recognize revenue by applying the following steps: the contract with the customer is identified; the performance obligations in the contract are identified; the transaction price is determined; the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract; and revenue is recognized when (or as) we satisfy these performance obligations in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. We exclude sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The determination of the performance obligations and the timing of satisfaction of such obligations either over time or at a point-in-time requires us to make significant judgement and estimates.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated by providing standard listing subscription services and other paid listing subscriptions services, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising as well as customer relationship management and delivery and logistic services. These arrangements are recognized over-time, generally during a month-to-month subscription period as the products are provided.

Income Taxes

As a result of the Business Combination, WM Technology, Inc. became the sole managing member of WMH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, WMH LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for the period of January 1 to June 16, 2021 as this period

48

was prior to the Business Combination. Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including WM Technology, Inc. following the Business Combination, on a pro rata basis. WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC following the Business Combination. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC following the Business Combination. Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including WM Technology, Inc., on a pro rata basis. We are also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws and regulations are complex and periodically changing and the determination of our provision for income taxes, including our taxable income, deferred tax assets and tax receivable agreement liability, requires us to make significant judgment, assumptions and estimates. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with continuing members that provides for a payment to the continuing members of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that WM Technology, Inc. realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of redemptions or exchanges of WMH Units. In connection with such potential future tax benefits resulting from the Business Combination, the Company has established a deferred tax asset for the additional tax basis and a corresponding TRA liability of 85% of the expected benefit. The remaining 15% is recorded within paid-in capital. To date, no payments have been made with respect to the TRA. Our calculation of the TRA asset and liability requires estimates of its future qualified taxable income over the term of the TRA as a basis to determine if the related tax benefits are expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2022, total net deferred tax assets and TRA liability were $186.3 million and $142.9 million, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation

We measure fair value of employee stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and allocate the related expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) is equal to the market price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the Class P Units is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. When awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting of the award, we record compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. The level of achievement of such goals in the performance-based restricted stock awards may cause the actual number of units that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the original units granted. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

We capitalize certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. In accordance with authoritative guidance, we began to capitalize these costs when preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. The accounting for website and internal-use software costs requires us to make significant judgement, assumptions and estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized software development costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we capitalized software development costs of $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we capitalized software development costs of $12.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

We measure credit losses on our trade accounts receivable using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current and forecast information.

We calculate the expected credit losses on a pool basis for those trade receivables that have similar risk characteristics. For those trade receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics, the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on an

49

individual basis. Risk characteristics relevant to our accounts receivable include balance of customer account and aging status. We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13.9 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Assets and liabilities acquired from acquisitions are recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. The accounting for goodwill and intangible assets requires us to make significant judgement, estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions in valuing acquired intangible assets and liabilities include projected cash flows attributable to the assets or liabilities, asset useful lives and discount rates.

Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing, or between annual tests if an event or change in circumstance occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, where the useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly, or indirectly, to our future cash flows. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment on an interim basis when certain events or circumstances exist. For amortizable intangible assets, impairment exists when the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. At least annually, the remaining useful life is evaluated. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

Fair Value Measurements

In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed 12,499,993 Public Warrants and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2022, 12,499,973 of the Public Warrants and all of the Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding . The warrants are measured at fair value under ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 financial instruments and is based on the publicly listed trading price of our Public Warrants. The fair value of the Private Warrants is determined with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants may change significantly as additional data is obtained. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value, and such changes could materially impact our results of operations in future periods. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, warrant liability was $6.9 million and $27.5 million, respectively. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have operations both within the United States and in foreign jurisdictions, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, interest rate changes and inflation. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any cash equivalents.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Because we only hold cash and, our portfolio’s fair value is insensitive to interest rate changes. In future periods, we will continue to evaluate our investment policy in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives.

Inflation

Other than as set forth in the note above titled “Growth and Retention of Our Paying Clients”, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

The information set forth under "Commitment and Contingencies—Litigation" in Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Additionally, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, to our knowledge we are not currently party to any legal proceedings which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. We also pursue litigation to protect our legal rights and additional litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property and our contractual rights, to protect our confidential information or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Investment in our securities involves risk. An investor or potential investor should consider the risks summarized below and under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”) and of our prior 10-Q. Except for the risk factor discussed below, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed our 2021 Form 10-K and Prior 10-Q.

We track certain performance metrics with internal tools and do not independently verify such metrics. Certain of our performance metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.

We calculate and track performance metrics with internal tools, which are not independently verified by any third-party. While we believe our metrics are reasonable estimates of our user or client base for the applicable period of measurement, the methodologies used to measure these metrics and how we define such metrics require significant judgment and may be susceptible to algorithm or other technical errors. For example, user accounts are based on email addresses, and a user could use multiple email addresses to establish multiple accounts, and clients in many instances will have multiple accounts. Additionally, a user could also use technology (such as incognito browsing, blocking or deleting cookies and IP addresses or other similar methods) that may decrease our ability to obtain useful information with respect to the number of and behavior of users, and as a result, we may include users who are not actively engaging with our platform in the manner in which we assume, and/or we may count as unique users multiple visits by the same underlying user. As a result, the data we report may not be accurate, and we believe unique user statistics could include a significant number of repeat underlying users. Our internal tools and processes we use to identify multiple accounts or fraudulent accounts have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking performance metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including historical metrics. Our ability to recalculate our historical metrics may be impacted by data limitations or other factors that require us to apply different methodologies for such adjustments and we generally do not intend to update previously disclosed metrics for any such changes. Though we regularly review our processes for calculating metrics and may adjust our processes for calculating metrics to improve their accuracy, limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data (or the data that we measure) may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our longer term strategies. For example, we determined to discontinue reporting MAUs as a key operational metric as a result of our reevaluation of the value of this metric to investors in light of its significant quarterly fluctuations that we do not believe necessarily reflect the underlying and most important trends in our business. If our performance metrics are not accurate representations of our business, user or client base, or traffic levels; if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics; or if the metrics we rely on to track our performance do not provide an accurate measurement of our business, user or client base or traffic levels, we may not be able to effectively implement our business strategy, our reputation may be harmed, and our operating and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our clients and investors rely on our key metrics as a representation of our performance. If these third parties do not perceive our user metrics to be accurate representations of our user base or user engagement, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our user metrics, our reputation may be harmed and retailers may be less willing to list a business on our platform, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If we do not successfully manage the transition associated with the resignation of our chief executive officer and the appointment of a new chief executive officer, it could have an adverse impact on our business.

52

On November 7, we announced that Doug Francis, co-founder and Executive Chair, will be taking a more active role in leading WM Technology. Mr. Francis succeeds Chris Beals, who has decided to step down from his role as our chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors. We have begun an executive search for a new chief executive officer. Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, and an inadequate transition to a new chief executive officer may cause disruption to our business. In addition, if we are unable to attract and retain a qualified candidate to become our chief executive officer in a timely manner, our ability to meet our financial and operational goals and strategic plans may be adversely impacted. This may also make it more difficult for us to retain and hire key management and other team members

WM Technology, Inc. was initially incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 7, 2019 under the name “Silver Spike Acquisition Corp” (“Silver Spike”). Silver Spike was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On June 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Silver Spike consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Silver Spike, Silver Spike Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), WM Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (when referred to in its pre-Business Combination capacity, “Legacy WMH” and following the Business Combination, “WMH LLC”), and Ghost Media Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the initial holder representative (the “Holder Representative”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Silver Spike was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to WM Technology, Inc.

The Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by WMH LLC and continue to operate through WMH LLC and its subsidiaries, and WM Technology, Inc.’s material assets are the equity interests of WMH LLC indirectly held by it. Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management believes that these accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP in annual financial statements have been omitted or condensed and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. The condensed financial statements of the Company include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, Silver Spike was treated as the acquired company and Legacy WMH was treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy WMH issuing stock for the net assets of Silver Spike, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•Legacy WMH Class A Unit holders, through their ownership of the Class V Common Stock, had the greatest voting interest in the Company with over 50% of the voting interest;

•Legacy WMH selected the majority of the new board of directors of the Company;

•Legacy WMH senior management was the senior management of the Company; and

•Legacy WMH was the larger entity based on historical operating activity and had the larger employee base.

Thus, the financial statements included in this quarterly report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy WMH prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the WMH LLC and Silver Spike following the Business Combination; and (iii) the acquired assets and liabilities of Silver Spike stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WM Technology, Inc. and WM Holding Company, LLC, including their wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. In conformity with GAAP, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the periods. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations from translation of assets and liabilities is insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the valuation of accounts receivable, the useful lives of long-lived assets, income taxes, website and internal-use software development costs, leases, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of warrant liability, deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a relatively new industry where laws and regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. Currently, the majority of U.S. states permit medical cannabis, and several permit adult use. Additionally, while a number of U.S. legislators have introduced various bills to legalize cannabis at the federal level, none of these bills has become law. Currently, under federal law, cannabis, other than hemp (defined by the U.S. government as Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis), is still a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Even in states or territories that have legalized cannabis to some extent, the cultivation, possession, and sale of cannabis all violate the CSA and are punishable by imprisonment, substantial fines, and forfeiture. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they aid and abet another in violating the CSA, or conspire with another to violate the law, and violating the CSA is a predicate for certain other crimes, including money laundering laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If any of the states that permit use of cannabis were to change their laws or the federal government was to actively enforce the CSA or other laws related to the federal prohibition on cannabis, the Company’s business could be adversely affected.

In addition, the Company’s ability to grow and meet its operating objectives depends largely on the continued legalization and regulation of cannabis on a widespread basis. There can be no assurance that such legalization will occur on a timely basis, or at all.

The geographic concentration of the Company’s clients makes the Company vulnerable to a downturn in the local market area. Historically, the Company’s business operations have been located primarily in the State of California, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 56% of the Company’s revenue originated in California.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and does not bear interest.

The Company measures credit losses on its trade accounts receivable using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current and forecast information.

The Company calculates the expected credit losses on a pool basis for those trade receivables that have similar risk characteristics. For those trade receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics, the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on an individual basis. Risk characteristics relevant to the Company’s accounts receivable include balance of customer account and aging status.

Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13.9 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts included a higher reserve for at-risk customers that indicated financial difficulties and the impact from macroeconomic factors.

As of September 30, 2022, a receivable due from one single customer accounted for approximately 11% of the total gross accounts receivable outstanding.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Allowance, beginning of period	$	7,971	$	719	$	5,169	$	914
Addition to allowance	10,176		2,355		14,867		3,015
Write-offs, net of recoveries	(4,273)		(49)		(6,162)		(904)
Allowance, end of period	$	13,874	$	3,025	$	13,874	$	3,025

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and qualify for the measurement alternative for equity investments provided in ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value was $6.5 million, which is recorded within Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and consist of internally developed software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and generally over five years for computer equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized website and internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company began to capitalize these costs when preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

The Company assess impairment of property and equipment when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset are less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Leases

The Company classifies arrangements meeting the definition of a lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and instead recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company assess impairment of ROU assets when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such ROU assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may not be recoverable and the estimated fair value attributable to the ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the ROU asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Total net lease costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Total net lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $7.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Sublease rental income is recognized as a reduction to the related lease expense on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded contra rent expense of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.6 million and $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, related to certain ROU assets reducing the carrying values of the lease assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values were estimated using an income approach based on management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived based on the sublease market rent. The impairment charges are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liability

The Company assumed 12,499,993 public warrants originally issued in the initial public offering of Silver Spike (the “Public Warrants”) and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants that were originally issued in a private placement by Silver Spike (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon the Closing, all of which were issued in connection with Silver Spike’s initial public offering and entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2022, 12,499,973 Public Warrants and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding. The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time the warrants may be cashless exercised. The Private Placement Warrants are transferable, assignable or salable in certain limited exceptions. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will cease to be Private Placement Warrants, and become Public Warrants and be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the other Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise of the Warrants

may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of our Class A equity holders. Because not all of the voting stockholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with continuing members that provides for a payment to the continuing Class A Unit holders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of redemptions or exchanges of Units. In connection with such potential future tax benefits resulting from the Business Combination, the Company has established a deferred tax asset for the additional tax basis and a corresponding TRA liability of 85% of the expected benefit. The remaining 15% is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from monthly subscriptions and additional offerings for access to the Company’s Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company recognizes revenue when the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition are met. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: the contract with the customer is identified; the performance obligations in the contract are identified; the transaction price is determined; the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract; and revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies these performance obligations in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company excludes sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. For clients that pay in advance for listing and other services, the Company records deferred revenue and recognizes revenue over the applicable subscription term.

The Company offers Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, the Company offers other products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising, client relationship management, digital menu, and delivery and logistics services. The Company’s Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance. The Company has a fixed inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each market, and price is generally determined through a competitive auction process that reflects local market demand. Revenues for these arrangements are recognized over-time, generally during a month-to-month subscription period as the products are provided. The Company rarely needs to allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations. In the rare case that allocation of the transaction price is needed, the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the standalone selling prices of the underlying services at contract inception.

Disaggregation of revenue

Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions include the Company's WM Pages subscription package as well subscriptions to the Company's other SaaS products. The WM Pages subscription package includes access to WM Listings, WM Orders, WM Store, WM Connectors and WM Insights. Additional SaaS subscriptions include WM CRM, WM Dispatch and WM Screens. These subscriptions are typically monthly in nature. Featured and deal listings include the Featured Listings and WM Deals products. Other ad solutions include certain advertising products on and off the Weedmaps marketplace, including WM AdSuite. For a description of these solutions, see the "Business and Organization" section.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by major source:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS solutions	$	12,383	$	11,067	$	38,093	$	30,313
Featured and deal listings	34,644		36,297		116,709		99,590
Subtotal	47,027		47,364		154,802		129,903
Other ad solutions	3,473		3,520		11,444		9,066
Total revenues	$	50,500	$	50,884	$	166,246	$	138,969

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription offerings, as described above, and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 of $8.1 million was fully recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2022 of $6.6 million is expected to be fully recognized within the next twelve months. The Company generally invoices customers and receives payment on an upfront basis and payments do not include significant financing components or variable consideration and there are generally no rights of return or refunds after the subscription period has passed.

All revenues during the periods presented were recognized over time, as opposed to at a point in time. Substantially all of the revenue has been generated in the United States during the periods presented.

Cost of Revenues

The Company’s cost of revenue primarily consists of web hosting, internet service costs, credit card processing costs and inventory costs related to multi-media offerings.

Product Development Costs

Product development costs include salaries and benefits for employees, including engineering and technical teams who are responsible for building new products, as well as improving existing products. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2.3 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12.6 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures fair value of employee stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and allocates the related expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the Class P Units is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied volatilities for comparable companies, the expected life of the award is based on the simplified method. When awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting of the award, the Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met and the expense will be attributed over the performance period.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e., the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under the guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of its annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax provision, and estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), revaluations of the warrant liability, changes in flow-through income not subject to tax and tax law developments.

As a result of the Business Combination, WM Technology, Inc. became the sole managing member of WMH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, WMH LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for the period of January 1 to June 16, 2021 as this period was prior to the Business Combination. Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including WM Technology, Inc. following the Business Combination, on a pro rata basis. WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC following the Business Combination. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was the result of the tax benefit of the Company's pro rata share of losses and tax credits flowing through from WM Holding LLC. The tax benefit related to U.S. federal and state tax benefits from certain Business Combination-related expenses offset, in part, by income taxes recorded during the period ended March 31, 2021 as a result of an audit performed by the Canada Revenue Agency on prior years income taxes paid by the Company’s subsidiary, WM Canada Holdings, Inc. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of warrant valuations, non-controlling interests represented by the portion of the flow-through income not subject to tax, permanent stock-based compensation and state taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired additional interest in WM Holding Company LLC (“LLC Interests”) in connection with the exchange of LLC Interests, and activity relating to its stock compensation plan. The Company recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $28.5 million associated with the basis difference in its investment in WM Holding Company LLC upon acquisition of these LLC Interests, some of which are related to the additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”), some of which are partially offset by the TRA liability amount of $14.3 million, and these amounts were recorded through equity.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain income tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one business segment.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the reporting period. See Note 13 for additional information on dilutive securities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Management believes that the risk of loss is not significant and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Reclassifications

Repayments of insurance premium financing in the amount of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was previously classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows under cash used in the operating activities in the prior year. During the nine month ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified the repayments to cash used in financing activities in accordance with ASC 230 - Statement of Cash Flows. There is no impact to the total cash flow activities from this reclassification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

	Level	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Public Warrants	1	$	4,125	$	16,750
Warrant liability – Private Placement Warrants	3	2,730		10,710
Total warrant liability		$	6,855	$	27,460

The following tables summarize the changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities (in thousands):

Fair value, end of period	$	54,000	$	56,350	$	110,350	$	54,000	$	56,350	$	110,350

Public Warrants

The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants, based on the publicly listed trading price of such warrants as of the valuation date. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. The fair value of the Public Warrants was $4.1 million and $16.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Private Placement Warrants

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes model. The significant inputs and assumptions in this method are the stock price, exercise price, volatility, risk-free rate, and term or maturity. The underlying stock price input is the closing stock price as of each valuation date and the exercise price is the price as stated in the warrant agreement. The volatility input was determined using the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies which operate in a similar industry or compete directly against the Company. Volatility for each comparable publicly traded company is calculated as the annualized standard deviation of daily continuously compounded returns. The Black-Scholes analysis is performed in a risk-neutral framework, which requires a risk-free rate assumption based upon constant-maturity treasury yields, which are interpolated based on the remaining term of the Private Placement Warrants

as of each valuation date. The term/maturity is the duration between each valuation date and the maturity date, which is five years following the date the Business Combination closed, or June 16, 2026.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Stock price	$	1.61		$	5.98
Volatility	87.5		%	52.4		%
Term (years)	3.71			4.46
Risk-free interest rate	4.18		%	1.18		%

Significant changes in the volatility would result in a significant lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was $2.7 million and $10.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and are presented within warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Reverse Recapitalization [Abstract]

Business Combination

Business Combination

As previously discussed in Note 1, on June 16, 2021, the Company consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Closing, the following occurred:

•Silver Spike was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “WM Technology, Inc.”

•The Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by WMH LLC and continue to operate through WMH LLC and its subsidiaries, and WM Technology, Inc.’s material assets are the equity interests of WMH LLC indirectly held by it.

•The Company consummated the sale of 32,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (together, the “PIPE Financing”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements dated as of December 10, 2020, for an aggregate price of $325.0 million.

•The Company contributed approximately $80.3 million of cash to WMH LLC, representing (a) the net amount held in the Company’s trust account following the redemption of 10,012 shares of Class A Common Stock originally sold in the Silver Spike’s initial public offering, less (b) cash consideration of $455.2 million paid to Legacy WMH Class A equity holders, plus (c) $325.0 million in aggregate proceeds from the PIPE Financing, less (d) the aggregate amount of transaction expenses incurred by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement.

•The Company transferred $455.2 million to the Legacy WMH equity holders as cash consideration.

•The Legacy WMH equity holders retained an aggregate of 65,502,347 Class A Units and 25,896,042 Class P Units.

•The Company issued 65,502,347 shares of Class V Common Stock to Class A Unit holders, representing the same number of Class A Units retained by the Legacy WMH equity holders.

•The Company, the Holder Representative and the Class A Unit holders entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, pursuant to which WM Technology, Inc. will pay to WMH LLC Class A equity holders 85% of the net income tax savings that WM Technology, Inc. actually realizes as a result of increases in the tax basis of WMH LLC’s assets as a result of the exchange of Units for cash in the Business Combination and future exchanges of the Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and certain other tax attributes of

WMH LLC and tax benefits related to the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the Unit holders entered into the Exchange Agreement. The terms of the Exchange Agreement, among other things, provide the Unit holders (or certain permitted transferees thereof) with the right from time to time at and after 180 days following the Business Combination to exchange their vested Paired Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or Class P Units for shares of Class A Common Stock with a value equal to the value of such Class P Units less their participation threshold, or in each case, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

Acquisitions

Eyechronic

On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interests of Eyechronic LLC (“Eyechronic”) d/b/a Enlighten and rebranded as WM Screens, a Delaware limited liability company and a provider of software, digital signage services and multi-media offerings to dispensaries and brands, for total consideration of approximately $29.4 million. The Company accounted for the Eyechronic acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805.

The acquired assets and liabilities of Eyechronic were recorded at their preliminary acquisition date fair values. The purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company continues to gather information relevant to its determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired primarily related to, but not limited to, intangible assets. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocations will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the components of consideration and the preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired (in thousands):

Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration (1)	$	697
Share consideration (2)	28,725
Total consideration	$	29,422

____________________________________

(1)Includes $0.2 million settlement of pre-existing accounts payable with Eyechronic and holdback of $0.1 million recorded within other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2)The fair value of share consideration was calculated based on 5,399,553 shares of Class A common stock multiplied by the share price on the closing date of $5.32. This includes 677,847 of holdback shares to be issued subject to customary indemnification obligations.

Estimated Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:
Assets acquired:
Cash	$	118
Accounts receivable	835
Other current assets	37
Fixed assets	2,826

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred transaction expenses associated with the Eyechronic acquisition of $0.1 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The revenue and operating loss from Eyechronic included the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not material. Pro forma revenue and earnings amounts on a combined basis have not been presented as they are not material to the Company’s historical pre-acquisition financial statements.

For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment and is generally deductible for tax purposes.

The fair values of the trade name and software technology intangible assets are determined using an “income approach”, specifically, the relief-from royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these assets. Owning these intangible assets means that the underlying entity wouldn’t have to pay for the privilege of deploying those assets. Therefore, a portion of the acquired entity’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the assets, can be attributed to the firm’s ownership. The fair values of the customer relationships and customer backlog assets were also determined using an “income approach”, specifically a multi-period excess earnings approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are expected to decline over time.

Sprout

On September 3, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Sprout business (“Sprout") now d/b/a WM CRM, a leading, cloud-based customer relationship management (“CRM”) and marketing platform for the cannabis industry, for total consideration of approximately $31.2 million. The Company accounted for the Sprout acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805- Business Combinations.

The following table summarizes the components of consideration and the estimated fair value of assets acquired (in thousands):

Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration	$	12,000
Share consideration(1)	19,186
Total consideration	$	31,186

Estimated Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:
Assets acquired:
Software technology	$	2,973

Customer relationships	1,410
Goodwill	26,686
Total assets acquired	31,286
Liabilities assumed:
Other current liabilities	(100)
Total net assets acquired	$	31,186

(1)The fair value of share consideration issued in connection with the Spout acquisition was calculated based on 1,244,258 shares of Class A common stock issued multiplied by the share price on the closing date of $15.42.

For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment and is generally deductible for tax purposes.

The fair values of the trade name intangible assets are determined using an “income approach”, specifically, the relief-from royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset. Owning that intangible asset means that the underlying entity wouldn’t have to pay for the privilege of deploying that asset. Therefore, a portion of the acquired entity’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the asset, can be attributed to the firm’s ownership. The fair value of the software technology intangible asset was also determined using an “income approach”, specifically a multi-period excess earnings approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are expected to decline over time. The fair value of the customer relationships are determined using an “income approach”, specifically, the With-and-Without method, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This method estimates the value of customer-related assets by quantifying the impact on cash flows under a scenario in which the customer-related assets must be replaced and assuming all of the existing assets are in place except the customer-related assets. Essentially, it estimates the intangible asset’s value by calculating the difference between the two discounted cash-flow models. One that represents the status quo for the business enterprise with the asset in place and the second that represents the business enterprise with everything in place besides the customer-related asset. The projected cash flow period is the time-period it takes to build back up to that status quo. The difference between the two cash flows represents the calculated value of the customer-related asset.

Transport Logistics Holding

On September 29, 2021, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Transport Logistics Holding Company, LLC (“TLH”), which is the parent company of Cannveya & CannCurrent (now d/b/a WM Dispatch & WM Connectors), for total consideration of approximately $15.1 million. WM Dispatch is a logistics platform that enables the compliant delivery of cannabis and WM Connectors is a technology integrations and connectors platform facilitating custom integrations with third party technology providers. The Company accounted for the TLH acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805- Business Combinations.

Those requirements are similar to the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop internal-use software. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the associated hosting arrangement. These implementation costs are classified on the balance sheet in prepaid and other current assets, and the related cash flows are presented as cash outflows from operations. Impairment is recognized and measured when it is no longer probable that the computer software project will be completed and placed in service.

The Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, related to certain capitalized implementation costs for a cloud computing arrangement that was abandoned.

Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability

At September 30, 2022, there were 12,499,973 Public Warrants outstanding and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

As part of Silver Spike’s initial public offering, 12,500,000 Public Warrants were sold. The Public Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The Public Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The Public Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 16, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MAPSW.”

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants starting July 16, 2021, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder of Public Warrants, and if, and only if, the reported last sales price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalization and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders of Public Warrants.

Simultaneously with Silver Spike’s initial public offering, Silver Spike consummated a private placement of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants with Silver Spike’s sponsor (“Silver Spike Sponsor”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions, and they are nonredeemable as long as they are held by Silver Spike Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Silver Spike Sponsor, as well as its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis and will have certain registration rights related to such Private Placement Warrants. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than Silver Spike Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company concluded the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, or the Warrants, meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815- Derivatives and Hedging (as described in Note 2) and are recorded as liabilities. Upon the Closing, the fair value of the Warrants was recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the Warrants are remeasured as of each balance sheet date, which resulted in non-cash gains of $6.6 million and $45.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and non-cash gains of $20.6 million and $83.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

WM Holding Company, LLC Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has accounted for the issuance of Class A-3 and Class B Units issued under WM Holding Company, LLC’s Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with ASC 718 - Stock Based Compensation. The Company considers the limitation on the exercisability of the Class A-3 and Class B Units to be a performance condition and records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met.

In connection with the Business Combination, each of the Class A-3 Units outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled, and the holder thereof received a number of Class A units representing limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the “Class A Units”) and an equivalent number of shares of Class V Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (together with the Class A Units, the “Paired Interests”), and each of the Class B Units outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled and holders thereof received a number of Class P units representing limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the “Class P Units” and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), each in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the Unit holders entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). The terms of the Exchange Agreement, among other things, provide the Unit holders (or certain permitted transferees thereof) with the right from time to time at and after 180 days following the Business Combination to exchange their vested Paired Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or Class P Units for shares of Class A Common Stock with a value equal to the value of such Class P Units less their participation threshold, or in each case, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

A summary of the Class P Unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Units
Outstanding Class P Units, December 31, 2021	25,660,529
Cancellations	(48,807)
Exchanged for Class A Common Stock	(10,191,901)
Outstanding, Class P Units, September 30, 2022	15,419,821
Vested, September 30, 2022	14,534,582

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for non-vested Class P Units was $2.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the Class P Units of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the Class P Units of $1.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Due to the Business Combination completed in the second quarter of 2021, certain limitations on exercisability related to the Company’s Class P equity awards issued to employees and consultants were removed and as a result, the Company recognized the life-to-date expense on units vested through the Business Combination date on those equity awards during the 2021 period. The stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included a one-time incremental expense of $4.1 million related to an award modification as a result of an advisory agreement entered into with a former executive.

WM Technology, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the WM Technology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of

nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants. As of September 30, 2022, 25,768,971 shares of Class A Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares of Class A Common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2022, 12,127,760 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for future issuance.

A summary of the restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of RSUs	Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2021	5,829,881	$	10.91
Granted	6,639,434	$	5.50
Vested	(1,775,332)	$	9.44
Forfeited	(1,834,430)	$	9.22
Non-vested at September 30, 2022	8,859,553	$	8.08

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for non-vested RSUs was $63.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the RSUs of $5.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) with performance and service-based vesting conditions. The level of achievement of such goals may cause the actual number of units that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the original units granted. The Company recognizes expense ratably over the vesting period for the PRSUs when it is probable that the performance criteria specified will be achieved. The fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

A summary of the PRSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of PRSUs	Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2021	2,437,500	$	6.40
Granted	—	$	—
Vested	—	$	—
Forfeited	—	$	—
Non-vested at September 30, 2022	2,437,500	$	6.40

During the second quarter of 2022, management determined that the achievement of the minimum thresholds of the performance criteria of its PRSUs is not probable. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment to reverse all stock compensation expense previously recorded for these awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation credits for the PRSUs of $4.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation expense related to these PRUs was $15.6 million, which will be amortized over the remaining requisite service period if and when the Company determines that vesting is probable.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation cost (credit) related to the Class P Units, RSUs and PRSUs in the following expense categories on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per ShareBasic income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock adjusts basic net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock for the potentially dilutive impact of securities. For warrants that are liability-classified, during periods when the impact is dilutive, the Company assumes share settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value of the warrant liability, net of the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, and adjusts the denominator to include the dilutive shares calculated using the treasury stock method.

The computation of income (loss) per share attributable to WM Technology, Inc. and weighted-average shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding are as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2022

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP in annual financial statements have been omitted or condensed and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. The condensed financial statements of the Company include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, Silver Spike was treated as the acquired company and Legacy WMH was treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy WMH issuing stock for the net assets of Silver Spike, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•Legacy WMH Class A Unit holders, through their ownership of the Class V Common Stock, had the greatest voting interest in the Company with over 50% of the voting interest;

•Legacy WMH selected the majority of the new board of directors of the Company;

•Legacy WMH senior management was the senior management of the Company; and

•Legacy WMH was the larger entity based on historical operating activity and had the larger employee base.

Thus, the financial statements included in this quarterly report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy WMH prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the WMH LLC and Silver Spike following the Business Combination; and (iii) the acquired assets and liabilities of Silver Spike stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WM Technology, Inc. and WM Holding Company, LLC, including their wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. In conformity with GAAP, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the periods. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations from translation of assets and liabilities is insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the valuation of accounts receivable, the useful lives of long-lived assets, income taxes, website and internal-use software development costs, leases, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of warrant liability, deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a relatively new industry where laws and regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. Currently, the majority of U.S. states permit medical cannabis, and several permit adult use. Additionally, while a number of U.S. legislators have introduced various bills to legalize cannabis at the federal level, none of these bills has become law. Currently, under federal law, cannabis, other than hemp (defined by the U.S. government as Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis), is still a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Even in states or territories that have legalized cannabis to some extent, the cultivation, possession, and sale of cannabis all violate the CSA and are punishable by imprisonment, substantial fines, and forfeiture. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they aid and abet another in violating the CSA, or conspire with another to violate the law, and violating the CSA is a predicate for certain other crimes, including money laundering laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If any of the states that permit use of cannabis were to change their laws or the federal government was to actively enforce the CSA or other laws related to the federal prohibition on cannabis, the Company’s business could be adversely affected.

In addition, the Company’s ability to grow and meet its operating objectives depends largely on the continued legalization and regulation of cannabis on a widespread basis. There can be no assurance that such legalization will occur on a timely basis, or at all.

The geographic concentration of the Company’s clients makes the Company vulnerable to a downturn in the local market area. Historically, the Company’s business operations have been located primarily in the State of California, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 56% of the Company’s revenue originated in California.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and does not bear interest.

The Company measures credit losses on its trade accounts receivable using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current and forecast information.

The Company calculates the expected credit losses on a pool basis for those trade receivables that have similar risk characteristics. For those trade receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics, the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated on an individual basis. Risk characteristics relevant to the Company’s accounts receivable include balance of customer account and aging status.

Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined that it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13.9 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts included a higher reserve for at-risk customers that indicated financial difficulties and the impact from macroeconomic factors.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and qualify for the measurement alternative for equity investments provided in ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value was $6.5 million, which is recorded within Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and consist of internally developed software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and generally over five years for computer equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized website and internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company began to capitalize these costs when preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

The Company assess impairment of property and equipment when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset are less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Leases

Leases

The Company classifies arrangements meeting the definition of a lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and instead recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company assess impairment of ROU assets when an event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such ROU assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may not be recoverable and the estimated fair value attributable to the ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the ROU asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recognized.

Total net lease costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Total net lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $7.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Sublease rental income is recognized as a reduction to the related lease expense on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded contra rent expense of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.6 million and $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, related to certain ROU assets reducing the carrying values of the lease assets to their estimated fair values. The fair values were estimated using an income approach based on management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived based on the sublease market rent. The impairment charges are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability

The Company assumed 12,499,993 public warrants originally issued in the initial public offering of Silver Spike (the “Public Warrants”) and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants that were originally issued in a private placement by Silver Spike (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) upon the Closing, all of which were issued in connection with Silver Spike’s initial public offering and entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2022, 12,499,973 Public Warrants and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding. The Public Warrants are publicly traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time the warrants may be cashless exercised. The Private Placement Warrants are transferable, assignable or salable in certain limited exceptions. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will cease to be Private Placement Warrants, and become Public Warrants and be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the other Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 815-40 - Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise of the Warrants

may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of our Class A equity holders. Because not all of the voting stockholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with continuing members that provides for a payment to the continuing Class A Unit holders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of redemptions or exchanges of Units. In connection with such potential future tax benefits resulting from the Business Combination, the Company has established a deferred tax asset for the additional tax basis and a corresponding TRA liability of 85% of the expected benefit. The remaining 15% is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from monthly subscriptions and additional offerings for access to the Company’s Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company recognizes revenue when the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition are met. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: the contract with the customer is identified; the performance obligations in the contract are identified; the transaction price is determined; the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract; and revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies these performance obligations in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company excludes sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. For clients that pay in advance for listing and other services, the Company records deferred revenue and recognizes revenue over the applicable subscription term.

The Company offers Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, the Company offers other products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other display advertising, client relationship management, digital menu, and delivery and logistics services. The Company’s Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in advance. The Company has a fixed inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each market, and price is generally determined through a competitive auction process that reflects local market demand. Revenues for these arrangements are recognized over-time, generally during a month-to-month subscription period as the products are provided. The Company rarely needs to allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations. In the rare case that allocation of the transaction price is needed, the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the standalone selling prices of the underlying services at contract inception.

Disaggregation of revenue

Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions include the Company's WM Pages subscription package as well subscriptions to the Company's other SaaS products. The WM Pages subscription package includes access to WM Listings, WM Orders, WM Store, WM Connectors and WM Insights. Additional SaaS subscriptions include WM CRM, WM Dispatch and WM Screens. These subscriptions are typically monthly in nature. Featured and deal listings include the Featured Listings and WM Deals products. Other ad solutions include certain advertising products on and off the Weedmaps marketplace, including WM AdSuite. For a description of these solutions, see the "Business and Organization" section.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by major source:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS solutions	$	12,383	$	11,067	$	38,093	$	30,313
Featured and deal listings	34,644		36,297		116,709		99,590
Subtotal	47,027		47,364		154,802		129,903
Other ad solutions	3,473		3,520		11,444		9,066
Total revenues	$	50,500	$	50,884	$	166,246	$	138,969

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription offerings, as described above, and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 of $8.1 million was fully recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2022 of $6.6 million is expected to be fully recognized within the next twelve months. The Company generally invoices customers and receives payment on an upfront basis and payments do not include significant financing components or variable consideration and there are generally no rights of return or refunds after the subscription period has passed.

All revenues during the periods presented were recognized over time, as opposed to at a point in time. Substantially all of the revenue has been generated in the United States during the periods presented.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues

The Company’s cost of revenue primarily consists of web hosting, internet service costs, credit card processing costs and inventory costs related to multi-media offerings.

Product Development Costs

Product Development Costs

Product development costs include salaries and benefits for employees, including engineering and technical teams who are responsible for building new products, as well as improving existing products. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2.3 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12.6 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures fair value of employee stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and allocates the related expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the Class P Units is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied volatilities for comparable companies, the expected life of the award is based on the simplified method. When awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting of the award, the Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met and the expense will be attributed over the performance period.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e., the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under the guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of its annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax provision, and estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), revaluations of the warrant liability, changes in flow-through income not subject to tax and tax law developments.

As a result of the Business Combination, WM Technology, Inc. became the sole managing member of WMH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, WMH LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for the period of January 1 to June 16, 2021 as this period was prior to the Business Combination. Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including WM Technology, Inc. following the Business Combination, on a pro rata basis. WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC following the Business Combination. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was the result of the tax benefit of the Company's pro rata share of losses and tax credits flowing through from WM Holding LLC. The tax benefit related to U.S. federal and state tax benefits from certain Business Combination-related expenses offset, in part, by income taxes recorded during the period ended March 31, 2021 as a result of an audit performed by the Canada Revenue Agency on prior years income taxes paid by the Company’s subsidiary, WM Canada Holdings, Inc. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of warrant valuations, non-controlling interests represented by the portion of the flow-through income not subject to tax, permanent stock-based compensation and state taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired additional interest in WM Holding Company LLC (“LLC Interests”) in connection with the exchange of LLC Interests, and activity relating to its stock compensation plan. The Company recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $28.5 million associated with the basis difference in its investment in WM Holding Company LLC upon acquisition of these LLC Interests, some of which are related to the additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”), some of which are partially offset by the TRA liability amount of $14.3 million, and these amounts were recorded through equity.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain income tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one business segment.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the reporting period.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Management believes that the risk of loss is not significant and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Repayments of insurance premium financing in the amount of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was previously classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows under cash used in the operating activities in the prior year. During the nine month ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified the repayments to cash used in financing activities in accordance with ASC 230 - Statement of Cash Flows. There is no impact to the total cash flow activities from this reclassification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
