NERDY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share information and where indicated otherwise)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BACKGROUND

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of Nerdy Inc. (herein referred to as “Nerdy,” the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Nerdy and its consolidated subsidiaries) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Nerdy Inc., a member of Nerdy LLC (as defined below), has the right to appoint a majority of the managers of Nerdy LLC and therefore, controls Nerdy LLC. As a result, the financial results of Nerdy LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and a portion of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below) are entitled to or are required to absorb, are allocated to the noncontrolling interests (the “NCI”).

Background

Nerdy Inc. was formed on September 20, 2021 in connection with a business combination between TPG Pace Tech Opportunities and Live Learning Technologies LLC (along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “Nerdy LLC”). Nerdy LLC is a holding company that is the sole owner of multiple operating companies, including Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”) and Varsity Tutors for Schools LLC (“Varsity Tutors for Schools”). As a result of the business combination and related transactions, Nerdy LLC merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nerdy Inc., with Nerdy LLC surviving such merger. Nerdy Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership interests in Nerdy LLC and its indirect interests in the subsidiaries of Nerdy LLC, and has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow.

Nerdy Inc. has the following classes of securities issued and outstanding: (i) Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below), have voting rights only, and have no dividend or economic rights. The Company does not intend to list its Class B Common Stock on any stock exchange. Nerdy LLC has units issued and outstanding (the “OpCo Units”) to its members, the legacy holders of Nerdy LLC (the “Legacy Nerdy Holder(s)”) and Nerdy Inc. Nerdy Inc. and Nerdy LLC will at all times maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock issued by Nerdy Inc. and the number of OpCo Units issued by Nerdy LLC.

NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and based on current information, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have an impact on its results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit).

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025), with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires a prospective method of adoption, but allows for a retrospective method of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 updates reportable segment disclosure primarily by requiring disclosures of significant segment expenses, while also aligning interim and annual disclosure requirements under ASC Topic 280. Additionally, this

6

requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in ASC Topic 280. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires a retrospective method of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.

NOTE 3 — NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of June 30, 2024, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 65,427 OpCo Units, equal to 36.8% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 65,427 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of December 31, 2023, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 67,256 OpCo Units equal to 38.7% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 67,256 shares of Class B Common Stock.

Nerdy Inc. owned 63.2% and 61.3% of the outstanding OpCo Units as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The financial results of Nerdy LLC and its subsidiaries were consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and the portions of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders were entitled to or required to absorb, was allocated to NCI. At the end of each reporting period, Nerdy LLC equity attributable to Nerdy Inc. and the Legacy Nerdy Holders was rebalanced to reflect Nerdy Inc.’s and the Legacy Nerdy Holders’ ownership in Nerdy LLC. Prior to the earnout transaction in September 2023 (the Company’s third quarter), the Company excluded earnouts in the calculation of the ownership interests in Nerdy LLC as the earnouts were subject to forfeiture.

The following table summarizes the changes in ownership of OpCo Units in Nerdy LLC, excluding earnouts, for the periods presented.

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

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable, net	$	7,245	$	15,398
Deferred revenue	$	11,082	$	20,480

“Accounts receivable, net” is reported net of reserves of $623 and $544 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

Nerdy Inc. holds an economic interest in Nerdy LLC (see Notes 1 and 3), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Nerdy LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income (loss) or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Nerdy Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits of Nerdy LLC. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Nerdy Inc. as of June 30, 2024.

The effective income tax rate was (0.26)% and (0.23)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and (0.96)% and (0.20)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both current and prior year periods, primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and income tax benefit attributable to the NCI. Income tax expense reported in both current and prior year periods represents amounts owed to state authorities.

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTIES

Tax Receivable Agreement

Nerdy Inc. has a tax receivable agreement with certain Legacy Nerdy Holders (the “TRA Holder(s)”) (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by Nerdy Inc. to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that Nerdy Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the reverse recapitalization (including as a result of cash received in the Reverse Recapitalization and debt repayment occurring in connection with the reverse recapitalization) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the Nerdy LLC operating agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Nerdy Inc. as a result of, and additional basis arising from, any payments Nerdy Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Nerdy Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.

As of June 30, 2024, Nerdy Inc. has not recognized a liability of $117,399 under the Tax Receivable Agreement after concluding it was not probable that such Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on its estimates of Nerdy’s LLC future taxable income. Nerdy Inc. did not make any payments to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within the statement of operations.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

Independent Contractor Classification Matters

The Company, through its consolidated subsidiaries, is subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings at the federal, state, and municipal levels challenging the classification of third-party Experts on its platform as independent contractors, and claims that, by the alleged misclassification, it has violated various labor and other laws that would apply to employees. The Company disputes any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters.

In 2019, a Complaint was filed in a Superior California Court against Varsity Tutors alleging that Varsity Tutors misclassified California tutors as independent contractors as opposed to employees in violation of the California Labor Code and seeking penalties and other remedies under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). In October 2023, Varsity Tutors agreed to a tentative settlement in this matter that remains subject to Court approval (as required by PAGA), which is expected in the third or fourth quarter of 2024. No expense was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these matters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company expensed $450 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which was included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to this matter. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $2,000 for this matter, which was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Other

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and actions in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accrual for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate to the consolidated financial condition, result of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

OVERVIEW

We operate a platform for live online learning. Our mission is to transform the way people learn through technology. Our purpose-built proprietary platform leverages technology, including artificial intelligence (“AI”), to connect students, users, parents, guardians, and purchasers (“Learner(s)”) of all ages to tutors, instructors, subject matter experts, educators, and other professionals (“Expert(s)”), delivering superior value on both sides of the network. Our comprehensive learning destination provides learning experiences across numerous subjects and multiple formats, including Learning Memberships, one-on-one instruction, small group tutoring, large format classes, tutor chat, essay review, adaptive assessments, and self-study tools. Our flagship business, Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”), is one of the nation’s largest platforms for live online tutoring and classes. Our solutions are available directly to Learners (“Consumer(s)”), as well as through education systems (“Institution(s)”). Our platform offers Experts the opportunity to generate income from the convenience of home, while also increasing access for Learners by removing barriers to high-quality live online learning. Our offerings include Varsity Tutors for Schools, a product suite that leverages our platform capabilities to offer high-dosage tutoring and our online learning solutions to Institutions. We have built a diversified business across the following audiences: K-8, High School, College, Graduate School, and Professional.

KEY OPERATING METRICS

We monitor the following key operating metrics to evaluate the growth of our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

“Active Member(s)” is defined as the number of Learners with an active paid Learning Membership as of the date presented. Variations in the number of Active Members are due to changes in demand for our solutions, seasonality, testing schedules, the extension of Learning Memberships to additional Consumer audiences, and the launch of new membership options. As a result, we believe Active Members is a key indicator of our ability to attract, engage, and retain Learners. Active Members exclude EduNation Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“First Tutors UK”), as well as our Institutional business.

Active Members in thousands	June 30, 2024	March 31, 2024	December 31, 2023	September 30, 2023	June 30, 2023	March 31, 2023

YoY change	15%	40%	101%	250%	1,450%	n/a

“Active Experts” is defined as the number of Experts who have instructed one or more sessions in a given period. Active Experts also includes our Institutional business, but excludes First Tutors UK. The following table summarizes Active Experts for the periods presented. Our Active Expert count during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by higher Institutional active Experts when compared to the prior year periods, which reflects the continued scaling of our Institutional business.

Revenue

Revenue growth in both current year periods was driven by the continued scaling of our Consumer and Institutional businesses, partially offset by lower average revenue per member per month in our Consumer business. Additionally, revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included legacy Package revenue of $4,906 thousand and $15,850 thousand, respectively, that did not recur in the current year periods due to the completion of the transition to Learning Memberships in our Consumer business.

The following table presents our revenue by business category for the periods presented.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

The following table sets forth our cost of revenue and gross profit for the periods presented.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Change			Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
dollars in thousands	2024			2023			$		%	2024			2023			$		%
Revenue	$	50,984		$	48,839		$	2,145	4%	$	104,711		$	98,019		$	6,692	7%
Cost of revenue	17,497			14,740			(2,757)		(19)%	34,709			30,030			(4,679)		(16)%
Gross Profit	$	33,487		$	34,099		$	(612)	(2)%	$	70,002		$	67,989		$	2,013	3%
% Margin	66		%	70		%				67		%	69		%

Cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased primarily due to higher Expert costs of $2,561 thousand and $4,388 thousand, respectively, related to the continued scaling of our Consumer and Institutional businesses.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $33,487 thousand decreased by $612 thousand, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2023. Gross margin was 66% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to gross margin of 70% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $70,002 thousand increased by $2,013 thousand, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2023. Gross margin was 67% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to gross margin of 69% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in gross margin for both current year periods was a result of lower margins related to our Institutional offerings, primarily due to higher utilization of tutoring sessions across our new access-based products and higher substitution costs in a seasonally high period in the school year. We have recently introduced improvements to our marketplace infrastructure systems, including: session scheduling enhancements, invoice automation improvements, and changes to the tutor substitution program logic which collectively are expected to meaningfully improve gross margin during the back-to-school period and on a go-forward basis, while simultaneously improving the customer experience due to the higher reliability level of our marketplace infrastructure systems.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth our operating expenses for the periods presented.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change			Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
dollars in thousands	2024		2023		$		%	2024		2023		$		%
Sales and marketing expenses	$	15,537	$	14,859	$	678	5%	$	32,929	$	30,419	$	2,510	8%
General and administrative expenses	33,179		29,713		3,466		12%	65,155		59,413		5,742		10%
Total operating expenses	$	48,716	$	44,572	$	4,144	9%	$	98,084	$	89,832	$	8,252	9%

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included stock-based compensation of $638 thousand and $691 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses increased $731 thousand, or 5%. Additionally, excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 29% of revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included stock-based compensation of $1,173 thousand and $1,529 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses increased $2,866 thousand, or 10%. Additionally, excluding these impacts in both periods, sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were 30% of revenue compared to 29% of revenue during the same period in 2023.

Sales and marketing increases were driven by investments in our Institutional sales organization in order to drive customer acquisition, brand awareness, and reach, including through signing up school districts with free access to the Varsity Tutors platform, which is a strategy to introduce school districts to the platform fee-based offerings. These investments were partially offset by Consumer marketing efficiency gains.

14

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include compensation for certain employees, support services, product development expenses intended to support continued innovation, and other operating expenses. Product development costs were $11,569 thousand and $8,392 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $3,177 thousand. Product development costs were $22,232 thousand and $16,822 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $5,410 thousand. Product development costs include compensation for employees on our product and engineering teams who are responsible for developing new and improving existing offerings, maintaining our website, improving efficiencies across our organization, and third-party expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included non-cash stock based compensation of $10,676 thousand and $9,440 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses increased $2,230 thousand, or 11%. Additionally, excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 44% of revenue compared to 42% during the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included non-cash stock based compensation of $21,253 thousand and $19,651 thousand, respectively. Excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses increased $4,140 thousand, or 10%. Additionally, excluding these impacts in both periods, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were 42% of revenue compared to 41% during the same period in 2023.

Our investments in product development and our platform-oriented approach to growth have allowed us to launch and continuously improve our suite of ‘always on’ subscription products, including Learning Memberships for Consumers, and our District, Teacher, and Parent Assigned offerings for Institutional customers. We believe these subscription and access-based offerings simplify our operating model needed to support the organization, which allows us to maximize our investment in our common platform.

Unrealized Loss on Derivatives, Net

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a (gain) loss of $(4,198) thousand and $17,484 thousand, respectively, related to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on our warrants and earnouts prior to the warrant and earnout transactions in September 2023 (our third quarter). Of the gain recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2023, $2,333 thousand and $1,865 thousand related to warrants and earnouts, respectively. Of the loss recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2023, $6,081 thousand and $11,403 thousand related to warrants and earnouts, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $879 thousand, an increase from $783 thousand in the same period in 2023. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1,765 thousand, an increase from $1,616 thousand in the same period in 2023. These increases were driven by higher interest income on our cash balances during both current year periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $69,838 thousand and $74,824 thousand, respectively. We have incurred cumulative losses from our operations, and we may incur additional losses in the future. Our operations have historically been financed primarily through cash on hand, capital contributions, and debt financings. To the extent we generate negative operating cash flows, it is possible that we may have to finance future operations primarily or in part from cash on hand.

Cash Requirements

Our cash requirements within the next twelve months include working capital requirements, sales and marketing activities, and capital expenditures. We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to satisfy these future requirements.

As of June 30, 2024, we had no debt obligations. Our cash requirements under our contractual obligations and commitments consist primarily of lease arrangements. For information on our lease obligations and the amount and timing of future payments, see Note 17 within “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part II, Item 8 of our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our leasing arrangements previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.

The words “anticipates,” “approximately,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “seeks,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including:

•our limited operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future financial and operating results;

•our history of net losses;

•risks associated with our ability to acquire and retain customers, operate, and scale up our Consumer and Institutional businesses;

•risks associated with our intellectual property, including claims that we infringe on a third party’s intellectual property rights;

16

•risks associated with our classification of some individuals and entities we contract with as independent contractors;

•risks associated with the liquidity and trading of our securities;

•risks associated with payments that we may be required to make under the tax receivable agreement;

•litigation, regulatory, and reputational risks arising from the fact that many of our Learners are minors;

•changes in applicable laws or regulations;

•the possibility of cyber-related incidents and their related impacts on our business and results of operations;

•risks associated with the development and use of artificial intelligence and related regulatory uncertainty;

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

•risks associated with managing our rapid growth; and

•other risks and uncertainties included under “Risk Factors” within Part II, Item 1A of this report and in our 2023 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We expect to remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of TPG Pace Tech Opportunities’ initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1,235,000 thousand, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30 or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1,000,000 thousand in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

SMALLER REPORTING COMPANY STATUS

As of December 31, 2023, we were no longer a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. An entity is a “smaller reporting company” based upon the following criteria: (i) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250,000 thousand as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100,000 thousand during the prior fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30.

According to 5120.1b of the SEC Financial Reporting Manual, once we fail to qualify for smaller reporting company status, we will remain unqualified until making a subsequent determination either: (i) our public float falls below $200,000 thousand as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) our public float and annual revenues meet certain other requirements for subsequent qualification as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of June 30, 2024, we have re-entered smaller reporting company status and will use scaled disclosures permitted for a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our exposure to market risk, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates are immaterial.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

For information regarding our legal proceedings, refer to Note 13 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

For disclosure of environmental proceedings with a governmental entity as a party pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K, we have elected to disclose matters where we reasonably believe such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1,000 thousand or more. Applying this threshold, there are no such environmental proceedings to disclose as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), you should carefully consider the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year

18

ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. As of the date of the Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. However, these risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
