The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31 of each calendar year. The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated lives and recoverability

of intangible assets, the inputs used in the valuation of intangible assets in connection with our impairment test, and the inputs used in the fair value of equity-based awards.
