NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Vimeo is the world’s leading all-in-one video software solution, providing the full breadth of video tools through a software-as-a-service model. Vimeo’s comprehensive and cloud-based tools empower its users to create, collaborate and communicate with video on a single, turnkey platform.
As used herein, "Vimeo," "we," "our" or "us" and similar terms in these consolidated financial statements refer to Vimeo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise).
Spin-off
On May 25, 2021, Vimeo completed its separation from IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") through a series of transactions (which we refer to as the “Spin-off”) that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of IAC directly owning shares in both IAC and Vimeo, and in Vimeo becoming a separately traded public company. For more information regarding the Spin-off, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
All intercompany transactions and balances between and among Vimeo and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All related party transactions between Vimeo and IAC and its subsidiaries, other than amounts related to the settlement of equity awards are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows as operating activities. Amounts related to the settlement of equity awards are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows as financing activities.
All related party balances between Vimeo and IAC and its subsidiaries are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "Other long-term liabilities".
Accounting Estimates
Management of Vimeo is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include those related to: the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of the estimated customer relationship period for certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer; the carrying value of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets"); the useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives; the recoverability of goodwill; contingencies; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. Vimeo bases its estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that Vimeo considers relevant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that are expected to have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of Vimeo.

NOTE 2—REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
Vimeo's revenue is derived primarily from SaaS subscription fees paid by customers. Revenue, in the amount that reflects the consideration Vimeo expects to be entitled to, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the arrangement beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer. Subscription periods generally range from one month to three years with the most common being an annual subscription and are generally non-cancellable.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of Vimeo's performance. Vimeo’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Vimeo classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
| (In thousands) |
Deferred revenue | $ | 173,995 | | | $ | 167,388 | |
Other long-term liabilities | 1,404 | | | 1,286 | |
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Vimeo recognized $126.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Vimeo recognized $141.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
Vimeo does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which Vimeo recognizes revenue at the amount which Vimeo has the right to invoice for services performed.
Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
Vimeo has determined that certain costs, primarily commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs and mobile app store fees, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract. Commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period. Vimeo calculates the estimated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, Vimeo has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. Vimeo capitalizes and amortizes mobile app store fees over the term of the applicable subscription.
The current and non-current balances of capitalized costs to obtain a contract with a customer are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
| (In thousands) |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | $ | 4,828 | | | $ | 4,168 | |
Other non-current assets | 8,404 | | | 7,988 | |
NOTE 3—INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, Vimeo estimates the annual expected effective income tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss with discrete items recorded in the period. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or Vimeo's tax environment changes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Vimeo recorded an income tax provision of $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Vimeo's largest deferred tax assets are tax attribute carryforwards as well as capitalized research and development expenses. Vimeo has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets because it has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unrecognized tax benefits were $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2023 are subsequently recognized, there would be no impact to income tax provision due to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Vimeo believes no unrecognized tax benefits would decrease by June 30, 2024. Vimeo recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in income tax provision. There are currently no accruals for interest or penalties.

Contingent Consideration Arrangements
At June 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding contingent consideration arrangement related to Wibbitz Ltd., the acquisition of which the Company completed on November 10, 2021. The maximum contingent payments related to this arrangement at the time of the acquisition was $15.0 million. The Company remeasures the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement each reporting period with any adjustments are recognized in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The contingent consideration arrangement for Wibbitz is primarily dependent upon the amount of annual recurring revenue ("ARR") from Wibbitz subscribers as of December 31, 2022 who are expected to migrate to the Vimeo platform by June 30, 2023. There was no change to the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as the Company and former Wibbitz shareholders are reviewing the final earnout amount which may differ from the estimated fair value as of June 30, 2023.
The contingent consideration arrangement for WIREWAX Ltd., the acquisition of which the Company completed on December 6, 2021, was based upon achievement of an integration milestone and attainment of certain ARR thresholds within two years of the acquisition. In the first quarter of 2023, WIREWAX achieved the ARR threshold that resulted in a payment of $5.0 million to its former shareholders and a $0.1 million loss was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was recorded within "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, the final $5.0 million payment is presented within "Contingent consideration payment" within financing activities and "Accounts payable and other liabilities" within operating activities for $3.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, the integration milestone was met in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a payment of $4.8 million, which was consistent with the fair value estimated as of the acquisition date.
NOTE 5—REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
Effective June 30, 2023, Vimeo.com, Inc. terminated the $100 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) set to expire February 12, 2026, under, and in accordance with the terms of, that certain credit agreement, dated as of February 12, 2021, among Vimeo.com, Inc., as borrower, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. In connection with such termination, a letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility was cash collateralized, all other outstanding obligations were paid off in full and all liens securing the Credit Facility were released.

NOTE 8—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Vimeo Restricted Shares
On March 23, 2023, the Company announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC that Joseph Levin, Chairman and member of the Vimeo Board of Directors (the “Board”) and IAC's Chief Executive Officer, submitted his resignation as Chairman and member of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Levin’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Board. Mr. Levin now serves as Special Advisor to the Board.
In connection with Mr. Levin's resignation, the Company entered into an amended and restated Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2023 (the “Amended RSA”) to the Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021, by and between the Company and Mr. Levin (the “RSA”). Pursuant to the Amended RSA, the RSA will continue in connection with Mr. Levin’s service as Special Advisor to the Board. In consideration of Mr. Levin’s reduced services as Special Advisor in comparison to his services previously provided as Chairman and Board member, the Amended RSA reduces the total number of shares of Vimeo common stock underlying the RSA by one-third, to a total of 3,247,000 shares ("Vimeo Restricted Shares"), that cliff vest on November 5, 2030 based on satisfaction of certain Vimeo stock price targets and Mr. Levin’s continuous service as a Special Advisor through the vesting date.
Mr. Levin may elect to accelerate vesting of the Vimeo Restricted Shares, effective on November 5, 2026 and each year thereafter through November 5, 2029, in which case performance will be measured through such date, and Mr. Levin will receive a pro-rated portion of the award and any remaining shares will be forfeited. The applicable stock price goals are proportionately lower on the earlier vesting dates.
The Company accounted for these changes as a modification of the Vimeo Restricted Shares because the service condition of the RSA was not met due to Mr. Levin's resignation as Chairman of the Board, but the RSA will continue in connection with Mr. Levin's reduced services as Special Advisor. Accordingly, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reversed $14.8 million of stock-based compensation expense which represents the cumulative amount of such stock-based compensation expense recognized in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since entering into the RSA with Mr. Levin. The fair value of the Vimeo Restricted Shares underlying the Amended RSA on the modification date was $2.3 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining requisite service period through November 5, 2030, subject to Mr. Levin’s continued service as Special Advisor. The fair value of the Vimeo Restricted Shares was determined using a lattice model that incorporated a Monte Carlo simulation of Vimeo's stock price as this award contains a market condition.
CEO Market-Based Award
On March 21, 2023, the Company and Anjali Sud, Vimeo's CEO, entered into an Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Amended RSU Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between the Company and Ms. Sud dated March 25, 2022 (the “Original Award Agreement”) to revise the vesting schedule and stock performance targets of the Original Award Agreement. The Company accounted for these changes as a modification, which was originally expected to result in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million. On July 5, 2023, the Company announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC that Ms. Sud notified the Company on June 30, 2023 of her intention to step down from her role as CEO effective as of August 31, 2023, and therefore this award is no longer expected to vest.

NOTE 9—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Vimeo common stock and Class B common stock are treated as one class of common stock for earnings per share ("EPS") purposes as both classes of common stock participate in earnings, dividends and other distributions on the same basis. Vimeo calculates basic EPS using the two-class method since the Vimeo Restricted Shares are participating securities as they are unvested and have a non-forfeitable dividend right in the event the Company declares a cash dividend to common shareholders and participates in all other distributions of the Company in the same manner as all other Vimeo common shareholders. Diluted EPS is calculated, on the most dilutive basis, which excludes equity awards that would be anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders is as follows:

NOTE 11—CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, Vimeo is, and from time to time may become, a party to various legal proceedings. Vimeo establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against Vimeo, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of Vimeo, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. Vimeo also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-income tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of Vimeo. See "Note 3—Income Taxes" for additional information related to income tax contingencies.
EMI/Capitol Records Copyright Infringement Litigation
In December 2009, a group of music publishers owned by EMI Music Publishing (now owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment) and a group of then EMI-affiliated record companies, including Capitol Records (now owned by Universal Music Group), filed two lawsuits against Vimeo and its former owner, Connected Ventures, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. See Capitol Records, LLC v. Vimeo, LLC, No. 09 Civ. 10101 (S.D.N.Y.) and EMI Blackwood Music, Inc. v. Vimeo, LLC, No. 09 Civ. 10105 (S.D.N.Y.). In both cases, plaintiffs allege that Vimeo infringed their music copyrights (in the publishers’ musical compositions and the record companies’ sound recordings) by hosting and streaming videos uploaded by users (and in certain cases, former employees) featuring their musical works. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, injunctive relief and monetary damages. The initial complaints identified 199 videos as infringing (which Vimeo removed post-suit).

Prior to suit, plaintiffs did not avail themselves of their right to submit a takedown notice to Vimeo pursuant to the online safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), which limits the liability of online service providers for copyright infringement of their users when the provider takes certain measures. Vimeo asserts that the DMCA limits its liability because it complies with the DMCA and plaintiffs failed to submit takedown notices. Plaintiffs disagree, asserting various theories as to why the DMCA may not apply to some or all of the videos-in-suit.
The district court bifurcated proceedings and required the parties to first litigate the issue of whether Vimeo satisfied the DMCA’s safe harbor provisions. On September 18, 2013, the district court granted partial summary judgment to Vimeo on 144 of the 199 original videos-in-suit on the ground that Vimeo complied with the threshold requirements of the DMCA and that there was no evidence that a Vimeo employee had watched the videos in question such that Vimeo had actual or "red flag" knowledge of infringement, which would disqualify the DMCA’s application. The court denied summary judgment as to 35 videos-in-suit on the ground that there was a material question of fact as to whether Vimeo had "red flag" knowledge of infringement based upon employees having watched all or part of these videos. The court further held that the DMCA did not apply to the record companies’ state-law claims regarding sound recordings fixed before February 1972; a trial was necessary to determine whether Vimeo was liable for employees who uploaded approximately 20 videos; and that plaintiffs should be permitted to amend their complaints to add over 1,500 videos allegedly infringing their copyrights (which Vimeo removed after receiving plaintiffs’ proposed amended complaint).
Vimeo sought and obtained the right to appeal certain issues on an interlocutory basis to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On June 16, 2016, the Second Circuit held that (1) the district court had applied the incorrect summary-judgment standard for "red flag" infringement and that evidence that an employee watched all or part of a video containing plaintiffs’ music did not raise a genuine issue of fact as to whether Vimeo had "red flag" knowledge in such video; (2) the DMCA applies to state-law copyright infringement claims predicated on pre-1972 sound recordings; and (3) on an issue raised by plaintiffs in their cross-appeal, the record did not show that Vimeo was willfully blind towards infringing activity taking place on its platform. As a result of these rulings, the Second Circuit partially vacated the district court’s ruling and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with its judgment.
On March 31, 2018, the district court granted Vimeo’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ state-law unfair competition claims on the grounds that they were state-law copyright claims covered by the DMCA per the Second Circuit’s judgment. On May 28, 2021, the district court granted Vimeo summary judgment as to videos for which the sole remaining basis of liability the assertion that Vimeo had “red flag” knowledge of infringement. On August 26, 2021, the district court approved a stipulation whereby plaintiffs agreed to conditionally dismiss all remaining claims to allow a final judgment to issue. Under the stipulation, plaintiffs may refile their claims regarding the alleged employee-uploaded videos if the Second Circuit reverses the district court’s other rulings in whole or in part. On November 1, 2021, the district court entered a final judgment adopting the terms of the parties' stipulation. On November 29, 2021, plaintiffs filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed.
Vimeo believes that the allegations in these lawsuits are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
RTI Copyright Litigation
Between 2012 and 2017, Italian broadcaster Reti Televisive Italiane s.p.a. and an affiliate thereof (collectively, "RTI") filed four lawsuits for copyright infringement against Vimeo in the Civil Court of Rome. See Reti Televisive Italiane s.p.a. v. Vimeo, LLC, Cause Nos. 23732/12, 62343/2015, and 59780/2017 (Rome Civil Court), and Medusa Film v. Vimeo, Inc., Cause No. 74775/2017 (Rome Civil Court). In each case, RTI asserts that Vimeo infringed its copyrights by hosting and streaming user-uploaded videos that allegedly contain RTI’s television or film programming, and seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and monetary damages.

On June 2, 2019, the Civil Court of Rome concluded the second case (No. 62343/2015) and entered a judgment against Vimeo, awarding RTI damages of EUR 4,746,273 plus interest and entering an injunction against Vimeo as to further acts infringement. Vimeo filed an appeal and petitioned to stay the judgment pending appeal. The Rome Court of Appeal declined to stay the judgment. The appeal is currently pending. On October 26, 2020, RTI commenced a lawsuit against Vimeo in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to enforce the damages award of the June 2019 judgment. See Reti Televisive Italiane s.p.a. v. Vimeo, LLC, No. 20 Civ. 8954 (S.D.N.Y.). On December 22, 2020, Vimeo and RTI filed, and the district court entered, a stipulation and order staying the U.S. proceedings pending the final outcome of the appeals from the Italian judgment at issue.
On April 7, 2023 the Civil Court of Rome published a decision finding in favor of Vimeo and dismissing the third case (No. 59780/2017) in its entirety.
On October 18, 2022, the Civil Court of Rome issued a decision in the fourth case, Medusa Film v. Vimeo, Inc. (No. 74775/2017,) finding liability, but rejecting RTI’s damage calculation and reserving judgment as to the amount of damages. On November 30, 2022, RTI served a notice of appeal challenging the court's decision on damages.
Vimeo believes that the allegations in these lawsuits are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Sony/Universal/Warner Copyright Litigation
In March 2021, Sony Music Entertainment Italy (a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Group), Warner Music Italia (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group), Universal Music Italia (a subsidiary of Universal Music Group), and Warner Music International Services (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group) filed a lawsuit against Vimeo in the Court of Milan alleging violations of Italian copyright and unfair competition laws. See Sony Music Entertainment Italy s.p.a. et al. v. Vimeo, Inc., Case No. 10977/2021 (Court of Milan, Business Division). The complaint alleges that Vimeo infringed plaintiffs’ copyrights by hosting and streaming user-uploaded videos that contain plaintiffs’ copyrighted works and that, upon notification of the alleged infringement, Vimeo employed a takedown process that did not comply with Italian law. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief. On November 3, 2021, Vimeo filed its initial brief. On November 23, 2021, the parties attended the initial hearing with the Court of Milan where the court set forth a briefing schedule. The parties have exchanged briefs, and the next hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2023. Vimeo believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act Litigation
On September 9, 2019, Bradley Acaley filed, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated individuals, a putative class action complaint against Vimeo in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. See Bradley Acaley v. Vimeo, Inc., Acaley v. Vimeo.com, Inc., Case No. 2019 CH10873 (Ill. Cir. Ct.). Vimeo thereafter removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, where it is now pending. See Bradley Acaley v. Vimeo, Inc., No. 19 Civ. 7164 (N.D. Ill.). In his complaint, plaintiff asserts that Vimeo’s Magisto mobile application collected facial biometric information in a manner that violated his rights under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"), and he seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and monetary damages.

When the following terms appear in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for Vimeo, they have the meanings indicated below:
•Self-Serve & Add-Ons relates to our subscription plans sold directly online, and any add-on services tied to those online subscriptions. This includes our Starter, Standard, and Advanced subscription plans, and add-on services such as bandwidth charges, which are sold through our sales force to subscribers of one of our plans if they exceed a certain threshold of bandwidth.
•Vimeo Enterprise relates to our video offering designed for teams and organizations, which includes the same capabilities of Self-Serve & Add-Ons plus enterprise-grade features such as advanced security, custom user permissions, single-sign on for employees, interactive video tools, and marketing software integrations. Vimeo Enterprise is sold through our sales force and is often an upgrade from Vimeo's Self-Serve & Add-Ons as the number of users or use cases in an organization grow.
•Other relates to products and services we offer outside of Self-Serve & Add-Ons and Vimeo Enterprise, primarily our over-the-top ("OTT") video monetization solution that allows customers to launch and run their own video streaming channel directly to their audience through a branded web portal, mobile apps and Internet-enabled TV apps. Other also includes Magisto, Livestream, WIREWAX, and Wibbitz.
•Subscribers is the number of users who have an active subscription to one of Vimeo’s paid plans measured at the end of the relevant period. Vimeo counts each account with a subscription plan as a subscriber. In the case of customers
who maintain accounts across Self-Serve & Add-Ons, Vimeo Enterprise, and Other, Vimeo counts them as one subscriber for each of the components in which they maintain a subscription. Vimeo does not count team members who have access to a subscriber’s account as additional subscribers.
•Average Subscribers is the sum of the number of Subscribers at the beginning and at the end of the relevant measurement period divided by two.
•Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) is the annualized revenue for the relevant period divided by Average Subscribers. For periods that are less than a full year, annualized revenue is calculated by dividing the revenue for that particular period by the number of calendar days in the period and multiplying this value by the number of days in that year.
•Bookings consists of fixed fees for SaaS services, measured at the end of the relevant period, that subscribers have paid or committed to pay during their subscription period or 12 months, whichever is shorter, less refunds and chargebacks during the same period.
•Gross Margin is revenue less cost of revenue, divided by revenue.
•Cost of revenue consists primarily of hosting fees, credit card processing fees, compensation expense and other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in customer care functions, traffic acquisition costs, which includes the amortization of in-app purchase fees, outsourced customer care personnel costs, rent expense and facilities costs. In-app purchase fees are monies paid to Apple and Google in connection with the processing of in-app purchases of subscriptions and product features through the in-app payment systems provided by Apple and Google.
•Research and development expense consists primarily of compensation expense and other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation expense that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology, software license and maintenance costs, rent expense and facilities costs.
•Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising expenditures, which include online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, social media sites, e-mail campaigns, display advertising, video advertising and affiliate marketing, and offline marketing, which includes conferences and events, compensation expense and other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation expense for Vimeo's sales force and marketing personnel, software license and maintenance costs, rent expense and facilities costs.
•General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation expense and other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax, information technology and human resources, provision for credit losses, fees for professional services, rent expense, facilities costs, and software license and maintenance costs.
•Vimeo Restricted Shares consist of 3,247,000 shares of Vimeo common stock underlying the Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Levin, Special Advisor to the Vimeo Board and former Chairman of the Board, on March 20, 2023.
•Credit Facility is the $100 million revolving credit facility entered into on February 12, 2021 by Vimeo.com, Inc., which was terminated in accordance with its terms effective June 30, 2023.
•Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Principles of Financial Reporting" for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
Vimeo is the world’s leading all-in-one video software solution, providing the full breadth of video tools through a software-as-a-service model. Vimeo’s comprehensive and cloud-based tools empower its users to create, collaborate and communicate with video on a single, turnkey platform.
Sources of Revenue
Vimeo's revenue is derived primarily from SaaS subscription fees paid by customers for subscription plans. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the arrangement beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer. Subscription periods generally range from one month to three years with the most common being an annual subscription and are generally non-cancellable.
Distribution, Marketing and Advertiser Relationships
Vimeo pays to market and distribute its services on third-party search engines and social media websites, and through e-mail campaigns, display advertising, video advertising and affiliate marketing. Vimeo also pays traffic acquisition costs, which consist of fees paid to Apple and Google related to the distribution and the facilitation of in-app purchases of product features. These distribution channels might also offer other third parties services and products, which compete with those Vimeo offers.
Vimeo also markets and offers its services and products through branded websites, allowing customers to transact directly with it in a convenient manner. Vimeo has made significant investments, and expects to scale investments, in online marketing to drive traffic to its websites.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Revenue decreased $9.1 million, or 8%, due primarily to decreases of $7.4 million or 9% in Self-Serve & Add-Ons and $4.8 million or 21% in Other, partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million or 32% in Vimeo Enterprise.
The decrease in Self-Serve & Add-Ons was due primarily to decreases of 7% and 3%, in Average Subscribers and ARPU, respectively. The decrease in Other was due primarily to a decrease of 32% in Average Subscribers as the Company is actively deprecating the consumer-facing portion of the Magisto business. The increase in Vimeo Enterprise was primarily due to an increase of 42% in Average Subscribers, partially offset by a decrease of 7% in ARPU.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Revenue decreased $13.9 million, or 6%, due primarily to decreases of $11.9 million or 8% in Self-Serve & Add-Ons and $7.6 million or 16% in Other, partially offset by an increase of $5.6 million or 29% in Vimeo Enterprise.
The decrease in Self-Serve & Add-Ons was due primarily to decreases of 6% and 2%, in Average Subscribers and ARPU, respectively. The decrease in Other was due primarily to a decrease of 33% in Average Subscribers as the Company is actively deprecating the consumer-facing portion of the Magisto business. The increase in Vimeo Enterprise was primarily due to an increase of 41% in Average Subscribers, partially offset by a decrease of 8% in ARPU.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Cost of revenue decreased $4.0 million, or 15%, due primarily to decreases of $2.2 million in hosting fees driven by cost optimization initiatives, $0.7 million in customer care personnel costs driven by lower outsourced costs, $0.5 million in credit card processing fees driven by lower Bookings from Self-Serve & Add-Ons, and $0.5 million in in-app purchase fees as the Company is actively deprecating the consumer-facing portion of the Magisto business.
Gross profit decreased $5.1 million or 6% due primarily to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by cost optimization initiatives for hosting which as a percentage of revenue decreased.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Cost of revenue decreased $7.1 million, or 13%, due primarily to decreases of $3.5 million in hosting fees driven by cost optimization initiatives, $1.5 million in customer care personnel costs driven by lower outsourced costs, $1.0 million in credit card processing fees driven by lower Bookings from Self-Serve & Add-Ons, and $0.9 million in in-app purchase fees as the Company is actively deprecating the consumer-facing portion of the Magisto business.
Gross profit decreased $6.8 million or 4% due primarily to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by cost optimization initiatives for hosting which as a percentage of revenue decreased.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Research and development expense decreased $9.1 million, or 25%, due primarily to decreases of $6.4 million in compensation expense and other employee-related costs and $2.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, both driven by a decrease in headcount.
Sales and marketing expense decreased $3.3 million, or 8%, due primarily to a decrease of $3.3 million in advertising costs as we focus on higher-efficiency customer acquisition channels.
General and administrative expense decreased $22.8 million, or 77%, due primarily to decreases of $17.9 million in stock-based compensation expense driven by the expected forfeiture of unvested equity awards held by Vimeo's CEO in connection with her intent to step down from her role as CEO and $3.8 million in provision for credit losses driven by a decrease in aged accounts receivable balances as a result of improved cash collections.
Depreciation decreased $1.4 million due primarily to fully depreciating certain leasehold improvements and equipment in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the Company's decision to not renew its lease for the office space it occupied in IAC's headquarters.
Amortization of intangibles decreased $0.4 million due primarily to certain intangible assets related to the 2019 acquisition of Magisto reaching the end of their estimated useful lives in the second quarter of 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Research and development expense decreased $12.2 million, or 17%, due primarily to decreases of $11.7 million in compensation expense and other employee-related costs and $1.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, both driven by a decrease in headcount, partially offset by restructuring costs of $2.8 million associated with the reduction-in-force completed in the first quarter of 2023.
Sales and marketing expense decreased $6.5 million, or 8%, due primarily to decreases of $9.8 million in advertising costs, partially offset by increases in stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million driven by changes in the executive leadership of the marketing organization implemented in 2022 and restructuring costs of $1.1 million associated with the reduction-in-force completed in the first quarter of 2023.
General and administrative expense decreased $42.1 million, or 72%, due primarily to decreases of $35.0 million in stock-based compensation expense and $7.0 million in provision for credit losses driven by a decrease in aged accounts receivable balances as a result of improved cash collections. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was driven by the resignation of Vimeo's former Chairman of the Board and corresponding modification of the Vimeo Restricted Shares and the expected forfeiture of unvested equity awards held by Vimeo's CEO in connection with her intent to step down from her role as CEO.
Depreciation decreased $0.9 million due primarily to fully depreciating certain leasehold improvements and equipment in the second quarter of 2022 in connection with the Company's decision to not renew its lease for the office space it occupied in IAC's headquarters, partially offset by costs associated with an asset retirement obligation incurred in the first quarter of 2023.
Amortization of intangibles decreased $0.5 million due primarily to the factor described in the three-month discussion.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Operating income (loss) increased $31.9 million due to a decrease in gross profit of $5.1 million, more than offset by a decrease in operating expenses of $37.0 million. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower revenue, partially offset by improved gross margin (78% in 2023 compared to 76% in 2022). The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to decreases in stock-based compensation expense of $19.3 million, compensation expense and other employee-related costs of $7.7 million, provision for credit losses of $3.8 million, and advertising costs of $3.3 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Operating income (loss) increased $55.3 million due to a decrease in gross profit of $6.8 million, more than offset by a decrease in operating expenses of $62.1 million. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower revenue, partially offset by improved gross margin (77% in 2023 compared to 76% in 2022). The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to decreases in stock-based compensation expense of $34.6 million, compensation and other employee-related costs of $11.8 million, advertising costs of $9.8 million, and provision for credit losses of $7.0 million, partially offset by restructuring costs of $4.6 million associated with the reduction-in-force completed in the first quarter of 2023.

Interest expense increased $0.8 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to the recognition of the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the Credit Facility in the second quarter of 2023.
Other income, net increased $1.8 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due primarily to the increase in Interest income driven by an increase in interest rates on the Company's money market funds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Income tax provision primarily relates to international and state taxes for jurisdictions in which Vimeo conducts business and increased as a result of a valuation allowance recorded on net deferred tax assets of Vimeo's international entities. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the impact of stock-based awards and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
We have provided Adjusted EBITDA in this report to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing our financial results and believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present a similar non-GAAP financial measure. However, our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from the presentation of similarly titled measures by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the metrics on which our internal budgets are based and also one of the metrics by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and corresponding non-GAAP measure, which we discuss below.
Definition of Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as operating income (loss) excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; (3) acquisition-related items consisting of (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable, and (iii) gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements; and (4) restructuring costs associated with exit or disposal activities such as a reduction in force. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.
The reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Items That Are Excluded From Non-GAAP Measure
Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with the grants of Vimeo stock-based awards. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base. We also consider the dilutive impact of stock-based awards in GAAP diluted earnings per share, to the extent such impact is dilutive.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our leasehold improvements and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.
Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer relationships, technology and trade names, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.
Gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are accounting adjustments to report contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These adjustments can be highly variable and are excluded from our assessment of performance because they are considered non-operational in nature and, therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business.
Restructuring costs consist of costs associated with exit or disposal activities such as severance and other post-employment benefits paid in connection with a reduction in force. We consider these costs to be non-recurring in nature and therefore, are not indicative of current or future performance or the ongoing cost of doing business.

Investing activities | $ | 532 | | | $ | 1,002 | |
Financing activities | $ | (7,615) | | | $ | (5,729) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net earnings (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and the effect of changes in working capital.
2023
Adjustments to net earnings consisted primarily of non-cash lease expense of $2.3 million and amortization of intangibles of $2.1 million. The increase from changes in working capital consisted of an increase in deferred revenue of $8.4 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $11.4 million. The increase in deferred revenue was due primarily to growth in Vimeo Enterprise bookings. The decrease in accounts receivable was due primarily to a decrease in aged accounts receivable balances driven by improved cash collections. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities was due primarily to the payment of 2022 cash bonuses in 2023, the timing of invoice payments, and payment of the WIREWAX contingent consideration arrangement (the portion that was in excess of the amount recorded in purchase accounting and as described in "Note 4—Fair Value Measurements"), partially offset by accruals for 2023 cash bonuses. Net cash provided by investing activities included proceeds of $0.6 million previously held in escrow related to the sale of Vimeo's retained interest in its former hardware business.
Net cash used in financing activities included withholding taxes paid related to the exercise of equity awards of $4.2 million and $3.3 million related to the WIREWAX contingent consideration arrangement (the portion up to the amount recorded in purchase accounting as described in "Note 4—Fair Value Measurements"). 2022
Adjustments to net loss consisted primarily of $32.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, provision for credit losses of $7.0 million, non-cash lease expense of $3.6 million, $2.6 million of amortization of intangibles, and $1.9 million of depreciation. The decrease from changes in working capital primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $26.3 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $18.2 million. The decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities was due primarily to the timing of invoice payments, the payment of 2021 cash bonuses in 2022, and the payment of professional fees related to acquisition activities. The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to the implementation of a new billing system.
Net cash provided by investing activities included proceeds of $1.6 million previously held in escrow related to the sale of Vimeo's retained interest in its former hardware business, partially offset by capital expenditures of $0.6 million.
Net cash used in financing activities reflected the timing of net withholding taxes paid related to the exercise of equity awards of $5.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Outstanding Stock-based Awards
Stock-based awards are settled in shares of Vimeo common stock and may be settled on a gross or net basis based upon factors deemed relevant at the time. Since the Spin-off and through December 31, 2022, stock-based awards were generally settled on a gross basis, such that individual award holders were required to pay their withholding tax obligation, which they were generally able to do by selling shares of Vimeo common stock (including a portion of the shares received in connection with the applicable settlement). Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, stock-based awards have been generally settled on a net basis, such that individual award holders received shares of Vimeo common stock, in each case, net of a number of shares of Vimeo common stock equal to the required cash tax withholding payment, which was paid by Vimeo on the employee's behalf.
Liquidity Assessment
At June 30, 2023, Vimeo had $278.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. Vimeo believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its normal operating requirements, including capital expenditures, and other commitments for the foreseeable future. Vimeo does not currently expect to incur significant capital expenditures.
Vimeo’s liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services, or the occurrence of unexpected expenses. Vimeo may need to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financings to make additional acquisitions and investments or to provide for greater financial flexibility. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to Vimeo or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk as compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 as well as in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Vimeo monitors and evaluates on an ongoing basis its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve their overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, Vimeo modifies and refines its internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Vimeo's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, evaluated the effectiveness of Vimeo's disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that Vimeo's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to Vimeo's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Vimeo's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Vimeo’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
