This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations. The words "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "continue" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other pandemics or disease outbreaks on our business; our ability to execute, and achieve the expected benefits of, our go-forward strategy; execution of our business and marketing strategies; volatility in our operating results; challenges arising from our international operations, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, legal and regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we operate and geopolitical instability resulting from the conflict in Ukraine; global economic uncertainty, including as a result of the inflationary environment; retaining and adding high quality merchants and third-party business partners; retaining existing customers and adding new customers; competing successfully in our industry; providing a strong mobile experience for our customers; managing refund risks; retaining and attracting members of our executive team and other qualified personnel; customer and merchant fraud; payment-related risks; our reliance on email, internet search engines and mobile application marketplaces to drive traffic to our marketplace; cybersecurity breaches; maintaining and improving our information technology infrastructure; reliance on cloud-based computing platforms; completing and realizing the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and strategic investments; lack of control over minority investments; managing inventory and order fulfillment risks; claims related to product and service offerings; protecting our intellectual property; maintaining a strong brand; the impact of future and pending litigation; compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the CARD Act, GDPR and regulation of the Internet and e-commerce; classification of our independent contractors or employees; risks relating to information or content published or made available on our websites or service offerings we make available; exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities; adoption of tax legislation; impacts if we become subject to the Bank Secrecy Act or other anti-money laundering or money transmission laws or regulations; our ability to raise capital if necessary; risks related to our access to capital and outstanding indebtedness, including our convertible senior notes; our common stock, including volatility in our stock price; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the capped call transactions relating to our convertible senior notes; difficulties, delays or our inability to successfully complete all or part of the announced restructuring actions or to realize the operating efficiencies and other benefits of such restructuring actions; higher than anticipated restructuring charges or changes in the timing of such restructuring charges; and those risks and other factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as well as in our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements,~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

As used herein, "Groupon," "the Company," "we," "our," "us" and similar terms include Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Company Information

Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which commenced operations in October 2008, is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants by offering goods and services, generally at a discount. Consumers access those marketplaces through our mobile applications and our websites.

Our operations are organized into 2two segments: North America and International. See Note 13, Segment Information.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Macroeconomic Conditions

~~Since March 2020, the~~The COVID-19 pandemic has ~~led to a significant disruption in~~changed the environment that our business ~~due to~~operates in, which includes changes in consumer behavior and macroeconomic impacts onaffecting both us and our merchants. ~~Recovery~~Although global economies have begun to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~has~~as many health and safety restrictions have been ~~and could~~lifted, certain adverse consequences of the pandemic continue to impact the macroeconomic environment and may persist for some time. Impacts to our operations may be ~~volatile~~caused by macroeconomic trends such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures, higher labor costs, labor shortages, supply chain challenges and ~~prolonged given the unprecedented~~resulting changes in consumer and ~~continuously-evolving nature~~merchant behavior. The full extent of the ~~situation.~~impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and recent macroeconomic trends on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors. We continue to monitor the pandemic and other macroeconomic trends and the potential impacts they may have on our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

We have prepared the accompanying ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. These ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of ~~operations~~Operations and ~~comprehensive income (loss)~~Comprehensive Income (Loss), ~~cash flows~~Cash Flows and ~~stockholders' equity~~Stockholders' Equity for the periods presented. These ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Groupon, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control and variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. In July 2022, we extended our arrangement through July 2025 with the strategic partner in the variable interest entity that we consolidate. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Outside stockholders' interests in subsidiaries are shown on the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for at fair value as available-for-sale securities or at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, as appropriate.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates in our financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following: variable consideration from unredeemed vouchers; income taxes; leases; initial valuation and subsequent impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets; investments; receivables; customer refunds and other reserves; contingent liabilities; and the useful lives of property, equipment and software and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

We early adopted the guidance in ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, on January 1, 2021. The ASU removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Additionally, the ASU removes certain conditions for equity classification related to contracts in an entity’s own equity (e.g., warrants) and amends certain guidance related to the computation of income (loss) per share for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we separated the convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "Atairos Notes") into their liability and equity components. Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the previously bifurcated equity component of the Atairos Notes was recombined with the liability component, resulting in a single liability-classified instrument. The carrying value of the Atairos Notes at transition was determined by recalculating the basis of the Atairos Notes as if the conversion option had not been bifurcated at issuance. Transaction costs related to the issuance of the Atairos Notes that were allocated to the equity component were reclassified out of Additional paid-in-capital and the amortization and the related debt discount associated with these costs was recalculated through the transition date. The transaction costs were recorded as a debt discount in the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Atairos Notes. Together with the cash interest, this resulted in an effective interest rate of 3.76%. As a result of adopting ASU 2020-06, in the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a $67.0 million net reduction to additional paid-in capital, a $19.0 million increase to Convertible senior notes, net and a $48.0 million reduction to our opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recorded an additional $2.7 million adjustment to our opening accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital related to tax impacts of our bond hedges.

10Our non-controlling equity interest in SumUp Holdings S.a.r.l. ("SumUp") was 2.29% as of September 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2021, we adjusted the carrying value of SumUp due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $89.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We also sold 100% of our shares in an other equity investment for total cash consideration of $2.6 million and recognized a gain of $2.2 million.

NOTE 5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022

In April 2016, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the "Atairos Notes") in a private placement to A-G Holdings, L.P. In May 2021, we repurchased the Atairos Notes for an aggregate purchase price equal to $255.0 million, consisting of the $250.0 million outstanding principal amount, $1.0 million of accrued interest through the repurchase date and a $4.0 million prepayment penalty. In connection with the repurchase of the Atairos Notes, we recognized a $5.1 million loss on the early ~~extinguishment.~~extinguishment, which is presented in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note Hedges and Warrants

In May 2016, we purchased convertible note hedges with respect to our common stock for a cost of $59.1 million from certain bank counterparties. The convertible note hedges were intended to reduce the potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Atairos Notes. In May 2016, we also sold warrants for total cash proceeds of $35.5 million to certain bank counterparties.

In connection with the repurchase of the Atairos Notes, we entered into agreements (collectively "the Unwind Agreements") with each of the bank counterparties in May 2021 to unwind the convertible note hedges and warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Unwind Agreements, we received cash proceeds of $2.3 million for the settlement of the convertible note hedges and paid cash consideration of $1.3 million for the settlement of the warrants.

1.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

In March and April 2021, we issued ~~$200.0 million and an additional $30.0 million for a total~~ $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The net proceeds from this offering were $222.1 million. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, which began on September 15, 2021. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, subject to earlier repurchase, redemption or conversion.

We used ~~$23.8 million in the first quarter 2021 and an additional $3.6 million in the second quarter 2021 for a total of~~ $27.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of certain related capped call transactions and used the remaining net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repurchase the Atairos Notes.

We account for the 2026 Notes as a single liability-classified instrument measured at amortized cost due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The carrying value of the 2026 Notes was determined by deducting transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes of ~~$6.8 million in the first quarter 2021 and $1.0 million in the second quarter 2021 for a total of~~ $7.8 million from the principal amount. Those transaction costs were recorded as a debt discount in the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to interest expense. Together with the cash interest, this results in an effective interest rate of 1.83% over the term of the 2026 Notes. We have presented the 2026 Notes in ~~non-current liabilities~~Convertible senior notes, net in the accompanying ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying amount of the 2026 Notes consisted of the following as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):


		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021			September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

Net carrying amount of liability	Net carrying amount of liability	$	223,781	$	223,403	Net carrying amount of liability	$	224,540	$	223,403

We classified the fair value of the 2026 Notes as a Level 3 measurement due to the lack of observable market data over fair value inputs such as our stock price volatility over the term of the 2026 Notes and our cost of debt. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was ~~$182.9~~$148.3 million and $183.3 million and was determined using a lattice model.

During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized interest costs on the 2026 Notes and the Atairos Notes as follows (in thousands):


		Three Months Ended March 31,					Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Capped Call Transactions

In March and April 2021, in connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions with each of Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas and Mizuho Markets Americas LLC. The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2026 Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $104.80 (which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of our

common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 22, 2021), subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

The capped call transactions are accounted for as freestanding derivatives and recorded at the initial fair value in Additional paid-in-capital in the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with no recorded subsequent change to fair value as long as they meet the criteria for equity classification.

Under the if-converted method, the shares of common stock underlying the conversion option in the 2026 Notes are included in the diluted income (loss) per share denominator and the interest expense and amortization of the debt discount on the 2026 Notes, net of tax, are added to the numerator. However, upon conversion, there will be minimized economic dilution from the 2026 Notes, as exercise of the capped call transactions reduces dilution from the 2026 Notes that would have otherwise occurred when the price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price. The capped call transactions are intended to offset actual dilution from the conversion of the 2026 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $68.12 to $104.80 per share.

Revolving Credit Agreement

In May 2019, we entered into a second amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement which provided for aggregate principal borrowings of up to $400.0 million (prior to the amendments described below) and matures in May 2024. In July 2020, we entered into an amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the "First Amendment") which permanently ~~reduces~~reduced borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility from $400.0 million to $225.0 million. In March 2021, we entered into a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the revolving credit agreement ~~(the "Second Amendment"~~(as amended by the First Amendment and the ~~revolving credit agreement as amended,~~Second Amendment, the ~~"Amended~~“Prior Credit ~~Agreement"~~Agreement”) to, ~~amongst~~among other things, permit the issuance of the 2026 Notes and related capped call transactions.

We deferred debt issuance costs of $3.5 million as a result of entering into the Amended Credit Agreement. Deferred debt issuance costs are included within Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective agreement.

The Second Amendment also permanently removed requirements that we maintain (i) a maximum senior secured indebtedness to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") ratio and (ii) unrestricted cash of not less than $250.0 million. ~~The~~Further, the Second Amendment ~~also changes~~changed the requirement to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to a requirement to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio. ~~Access~~

On September 28, 2022, we entered into a third amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment" and the Prior Credit Agreement as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement") to modify certain financial covenants and provide for additional flexibility in our operations, including certain modifications to our ~~full~~requirement to maintain (i) a maximum funded indebtedness to EBITDA ratio and (ii) a monthly minimum liquidity balance. In addition to the modifications described below, the Third Amendment reduced our borrowing capacity under ~~the Amended Credit Agreement may be restricted based on certain~~our senior secured revolving credit facility from $225.0 million to $150.0 million.

We deferred debt issuance costs of ~~our financial covenants. In particular, our borrowing capacity is a function of our Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio as defined~~$4.0 million in aggregate in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. Deferred debt issuance costs are included within Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022 and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective agreement.

In addition, under the Amended Credit Agreement, we are subject to various covenants, including customary restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make dividend and other restricted payments, including limiting the amount of our share repurchases; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; make investments, loans or advances; grant or incur liens on assets; sell assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions; and engage in transactions with related parties and other affiliates. The Third Amendment further restricts certain existing negative covenants, including with respect to our ability to make share repurchases, acquisitions, investments and to incur additional indebtedness and liens.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the ~~applicable~~ covenants ~~under our Amended Credit Agreement based on the borrowings outstanding~~ under our Amended Credit Agreement. Non-compliance with the covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement may result in termination of the commitments thereunder and then any ~~then~~ outstanding borrowings may be declared due and payable immediately. We have the right to terminate the Amended Credit Agreement or reduce the available commitments at any time.

Borrowings under the ~~Amended~~Prior Credit Agreement ~~bear~~bore (a) interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) an adjusted

LIBO rate or (ii) a customary base rate (with loans denominated in certain currencies bearing interest at rates specific to such currencies) plus an additional margin ranging between 0.50% and 2.00% and (b) commitment fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% on the daily amount of unused commitments. The ~~Amended~~Prior Credit Agreement also includes a replacement mechanism for the discontinuation of the adjusted LIBO rate.

The Third Amendment replaces LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate under the Prior Credit Agreement with Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points. The Third Amendment also provides that, from the date of the Third Amendment through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, the Alternate Base Rate ("ABR") and Canadian prime spreads shall be raised to 1.50%, the fixed rate spreads to 2.50% and the commitment fee to 0.4% on the daily amount of the unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement. After June 30, 2023, the applicable spreads and commitment fee will revert to the levels set by the Prior Credit Agreement, with the addition of a new tier that is applicable when the ratio of funded indebtedness to EBITDA exceeds 3.00:1.00 and provides for ABR and Canadian prime spreads of 1.25%, fixed rate spreads of 2.25% and a commitment fee of 0.4% on the daily amount of the unused commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit, provided that the sum of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit do not exceed the maximum funding commitment of ~~$225.0~~$150.0 million.

The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of substantially all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the shares or equity interests of first-tier foreign subsidiaries and each U.S. entity whose assets substantially consist of capital stock and/or intercompany debt of one or more foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries are guarantors under the Amended Credit Agreement.

WeAs of September 30, 2022, we had ~~$100.0~~$110.0 million of outstanding borrowings and ~~$25.0~~$24.5 million of outstanding letters of credit and as of ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022, and~~2021 we had $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $25.8 million of outstanding letters of credit ~~as of December 31, 2021~~ under the Amended Credit Agreement.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Our contractual obligations and commitments and future ~~operating~~sublease income under our contractually obligated operating subleases as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and through the date of this report, did not materially change from the amounts set forth in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the third quarter of 2022, however, we reassessed the term of one of our operating leases in our North America segment and, as a result, our expected future minimum lease payments related to that lease have been modified. Our current quarter reassessment included an increase in our Accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $11.6 million, a decrease to our long-term Operating lease obligations of $25.6 million, a decrease to our Right-of-use assets - operating leases, net of $9.5 million in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and a gain of $4.5 million in Restructuring and related charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges for additional information on the gain recognized. In addition, the collectability of the sublease payments related to that lease is not reasonably assured. Refer to Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets for additional information.

Legal Matters and Other Contingencies

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings incident to the operation of our business. For example, we currently are involved in proceedings brought by merchants, employment and related matters, intellectual property infringement suits, customer lawsuits, stockholder claims relating to U.S. securities law,

consumer class actions and suits alleging, among other things, violations of state consumer protection or privacy laws.

On April 28, 2020, an individual plaintiff filed a securities fraud class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and in July 2020, another individual was appointed as lead plaintiff (the "Securities Lawsuit"). The lawsuit covers the time period from July 30, 2019 through February 18, 2020. The lead plaintiff alleges that Groupon and certain of its officers made materially false and/or misleading statements or omissions regarding its business, operations and prospects, specifically as it relates to reiterating its full year guidance on November 4, 2019 and the Groupon Select program. On May 6,, 2022, the parties reached an agreement to settle this matter in its entirety for $13.5 million and signed a term sheet memorializing preliminary terms. ~~The settlement is subject to further agreement on full terms and court approval. If~~On June 27, 2022, the District Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On October 28, 2022, the District Court granted final approval of the settlement class with no class members opting out and no objections. Now that the settlement class has been confirmed and the case is ~~approved, the Court will certify a class for the purposes of settlement and~~fully resolved with no opt outs, all class members must follow a claims process administered by a third party and will be barred from filing future ~~claims unless they opt out of the class settlement through a court-established opt-out procedure.~~lawsuits based on these events.

The settlement accrual and insurance receivable are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Accounts receivable, net on the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022.

In addition, 3four shareholders have filed separate shareholder derivative lawsuits in relation to the same events that are subject to the securities litigation described above (collectively, the "Derivative Lawsuits"). First, on September 9, 2021, a shareholder named Jonathan Frankel filed a federal derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for District of Delaware. Second, on January 19, 2022, a shareholder named Alyssa Estreen filed a derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. ~~Finally,~~Third, on January 24, 2022, a shareholder named Saman Khoury filed a derivative lawsuit, also in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. Finally, on May 9, 2022, a shareholder named Moriah Anders filed a lawsuit, also in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. All 3four lawsuits name Groupon and certain of the Company's former and current officers and directors. The allegations in all 3four Derivative Lawsuits relate to the same time period and events that are the subject of the Securities Lawsuit and allege that the Company and its shareholders have sustained damages as a result of the conduct of certain current and former officers and directors. The Plaintiffs in each of these Derivative Lawsuits seek unspecified damages they allege were sustained by the Company, injunctive and equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. All four matters are stayed pending the outcome of the Securities Lawsuit. We intend to vigorously defend ~~this matter,~~these matters, which we believe to be without merit.

In addition, third parties have from time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We are subject to intellectual property disputes, including patent

infringement claims, and expect that we will continue to be subject to intellectual property infringement claims as our services expand in scope and complexity. In the past, we have litigated such claims, and we are presently involved in several patent infringement and other intellectual property-related claims, including pending litigation or trademark disputes relating to, for example, our Goods category, some of which could involve potentially substantial claims for damages or injunctive relief. We may also become more vulnerable to third-party claims as laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act are interpreted by the courts, and we become subject to laws in jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries are either unclear or less favorable. We believe that additional lawsuits alleging that we have violated patent, copyright or trademark laws may be filed against us. Intellectual property claims, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming and often costly to resolve, could require expensive changes in our methods of doing business or the goods we sell, or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements.

We also are subject to consumer claims or lawsuits relating to alleged violations of consumer protection or privacy rights and statutes, some of which could involve potentially substantial claims for damages, including statutory or punitive damages. Consumer and privacy-related claims or lawsuits, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, or require us to change our business practices, sometimes in expensive ways.

We are also subject to, or in the future may become subject to, a variety of regulatory inquiries, audits, and investigations across the jurisdictions where we conduct our business, including, for example, inquiries related to consumer protection, employment matters and/or hiring practices, marketing practices, tax, unclaimed property and privacy rules and regulations. Any regulatory actions against us, whether meritorious or not, could be

time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require us to change our business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, materially damage our brand or reputation, or otherwise harm our business.

We establish an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters when the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Those accruals represent management's best estimate of probable losses and, in such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. For certain of the matters described above, there are inherent and significant uncertainties based on, among other factors, the stage of the proceedings, developments in the applicable facts of law, or the lack of a specific damage claim. However, we believe that the amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued for those matters would not have a material adverse effect on our business, ~~condensed consolidated financial position,~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, results of operations or cash flows. Our accrued liabilities for loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters may change in the future as a result of new developments, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of new legal matters, changes in the law or regulatory environment, adverse or favorable rulings, newly discovered facts relevant to the matter, or changes in the strategy for the matter. Regardless of the outcome, litigation and other regulatory matters can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Indemnifications

In connection with the disposition of our operations in Latin America in 2017, we recorded $5.4 million in indemnification liabilities for certain tax and other matters upon the closing of the transactions as an adjustment to the net loss on the dispositions within discontinued operations at their fair value. We estimated the indemnification liabilities using a probability-weighted expected cash flow approach. Our remaining indemnification liabilities were $2.8 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. We estimate that the total amount of obligations that are reasonably possible to arise under the indemnifications in excess of amounts accrued as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 is approximately $11.7 million.

In the normal course of business to facilitate transactions related to our operations, we indemnify certain parties, including employees, lessors, service providers, merchants, and counterparties to investment agreements and asset and stock purchase agreements with respect to various matters. We have agreed to hold certain parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or other claims made against

those parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. We are also subject to increased exposure to various claims as a result of our divestitures and acquisitions, particularly in cases where we are entering into new businesses in connection with such acquisitions. We may also become more vulnerable to claims as we expand the range and scope of our services and are subject to laws in jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to potential liability are either unclear or less favorable. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers, directors and underwriters, and our bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations that cover officers, directors, employees and other agents.

Except as noted above, it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, any payments that we have made under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

Groupon, Inc. Incentive Plan

In August 2011, we established the Groupon, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "2011 Plan"), under which options, RSUs and performance stock units for up to 11,875,000 shares of common stock are authorized for future issuance to employees, consultants and directors. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. As of September 30, 2022, 3,203,455 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

The restricted stock units granted under the Groupon, Inc. Stock Plans (the "Plans") generally have vesting periods between one and four years and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their requisite service period.

Performance Share Units

We have previously granted performance share units under the Plans that vest in shares of our common stock upon the achievement of financial and operational targets specified in the respective award agreement ("Performance Share Units"). We have also granted performance share units subject to a market condition ("Market-based Performance Share Units"). Our existing Performance Share Units and Market-based Performance Share Units are subject to continued employment through the performance period dictated by the award and certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board that the specified performance conditions have been achieved.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022,, 20,494 shares of our common stock were issued upon vesting of Performance Share Units granted in 2020 and prior based on the Board's certification of our financial and operational metrics for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2020.

Customer Credits

We issue credits to customers that can be applied to future purchases through our online marketplaces. Credits are primarily issued as consideration for refunds. To a lesser extent, credits are issued for customer relationship purposes. The following table summarizes the activity in the liability for customer credits for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Costs of Obtaining Contracts

Incremental costs to obtain contracts with third-party merchants, such as sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the expected period of the merchant arrangement, generally from 12 to 18 months. Deferred contract acquisition costs are presented in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets on the ~~condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, deferred contract acquisition costs were ~~$7.0~~$6.2 million and ~~$8.0~~$8.0 million.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represents the net cash due from credit card and other payment processors and from merchants and performance marketing networks for commissions earned on consumer purchases. We establish an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivables based on identifying the following customer risk characteristics: size, type of customer, and payment terms offered in the normal course of business. Receivables with similar risk characteristics are grouped into pools. For each pool, we consider the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, bankruptcy filings, published or estimated credit default rates, age of the receivable and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses.

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Variable Consideration for Unredeemed Vouchers

For merchant agreements with redemption payment terms, the merchant is not paid its share of the sale price for a voucher sold through one of our online marketplaces until the customer redeems the related voucher. If the customer does not redeem a voucher with such merchant payment terms, we retain all of the gross billings for that voucher, rather than retaining only our net commission. We estimate the variable consideration from vouchers that will not ultimately be redeemed using our historical voucher redemption experience and recognize that amount as revenue at the time of sale. We apply a constraint to ensure it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in future periods. We ~~have also observed redemption rates lower than our historical estimates~~recognized variable consideration from unredeemed vouchers that were sold in a prior period of $7.4 million and $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $9.4 million and $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 9. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

In August 2022 and April 2020, we initiated Board-approved restructuring plans. Costs incurred related to the restructuring plan are classified as Restructuring and related charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring activities are summarized by plan in the sections below.

2022 Restructuring Plan

In August 2022, we initiated a multi-phase cost savings plan designed to reduce our expense structure to align with our go-forward business and financial objectives (the “2022 Cost Savings Plan”). The 2022 Cost Savings Plan included a restructuring plan, approved by our Board on August 5, 2022 (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”). The first phase of the 2022 Restructuring Plan is expected to include an overall reduction of approximately 500 positions globally, with the majority of these reductions expected to occur by the end of 2022 and the remainder in early 2023. In connection with these actions, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of $10.0 million to $20.0 million. Substantially all of the pre-tax charges are expected to be paid in cash and will relate to employee severance and compensation benefits, with an immaterial amount of charges related to other exit costs. We expect to begin the next phase of our restructuring actions under this plan in 2023, and we anticipate these actions will include a focus on reducing our technology platform costs following the completion of our transition to the cloud. We have incurred total pretax charges of $6.2 million since the inception of the 2022 Restructuring Plan.

The following tables summarize costs incurred by segment related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)The employee severance and benefits costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are related to the termination of approximately 380 employees, of which 318 are still completing their notice period and legally-required severance and benefits have been recognized as of September 30, 2022. Additional severance and benefits costs related to the remaining 318 employees may be incurred in future periods.

As a part of our ~~restructuring plan,~~2020 Restructuring Plan, we terminated or modified several of our leases. In other cases we vacated our leased facilities, and some of those facilities are being actively marketed for sublease or we are in negotiations with the landlord to potentially terminate or modify those leases.

See Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, for additional information. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a gain of $4.5 million in Restructuring and related charges for one of our previously-impaired leases in our North America segment due to a reassessment of the term.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.

Our U.S. Federal income tax rate is 21%. The primary factor impacting the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 was the pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets. The three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were also impacted by the reduction to our estimated annual tax rate due to an increase in expected annual losses. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were also impacted by the benefit of non-taxable items, ~~and~~including the unrealized gain on the observable price change recorded in an other equity investment during the three months ended September 30, 2021, the U.S. research and development tax ~~credit.~~credit, and reversals of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to closing of applicable statutes of limitations. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had a full valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We recorded a partial valuation allowance release in Q4 2021. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance in the U.S. against capital losses, deferred tax assets that will convert into capital losses upon reversal, and state credits that we are not expecting to be able to realize. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses.

We are currently undergoing income tax audits in multiple jurisdictions. It is likely that the examination phase of some of those audits will conclude in the next 12 months. There are many factors, including factors outside of our control, which influence the progress and completion of those audits. We are subject to claims for tax assessments by foreign jurisdictions, including a proposed assessment for ~~$116.0~~$105.7 million, inclusive of estimated incremental interest from the original assessment. We believe that the assessment, which primarily relates to transfer pricing on transactions occurring in 2011, is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in that matter. ~~In addition to any~~There could be potential increases in our liabilities for uncertain tax positions from the ultimate resolution of that ~~assessment, we~~assessment. We believe ~~that~~ it is reasonably possible that reductions of up to ~~$25.8~~$26.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the 12 months following ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 upon closing of income tax audits or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.

In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. An actual repatriation from our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be subject to foreign and U.S. state income taxes. Aside from limited exceptions for which the related deferred tax liabilities recognized as of ~~March 31,~~

September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are immaterial, we do not intend to distribute earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which we have an excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our investments and therefore have not recorded any deferred taxes related to such amounts. The actual tax cost resulting from a distribution would depend on income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our foreign subsidiaries is not practical due to the complexities associated with the calculation.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. The valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy are summarized below:

Fair value option investments and available-for-sale securities. We have fair value option investments and available-for-sale securities that we measure using the income approach. We have classified these investments as Level 3 due to the lack of observable market data over fair value inputs such as cash flow projections and discount rates.

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(unaudited)~~

Contingent consideration. During the first quarter 2021, we settled a contingent consideration arrangement to the former owners of a business previously acquired in 2018. We use the income approach to value contingent consideration obligations based on future financial performance. We have previously classified our contingent consideration as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs such as probability-weighting of payment outcomes.

There was no material activity in the fair value of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including assets that are written down to fair value as a result of an impairment or increased due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction.

We recognized $35.4 million in non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We recognized $1.8 million and $11.8 million in non-cash impairment charges related to long-lived assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of which $1.8 million and $2.9 million are included in Restructuring and related charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized $7.7 million in non-cash impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, which is included in Restructuring and related charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, and Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for additional information.

We adjusted the carrying value of an other equity investment, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $89.1 million, and sold shares in an other equity investment for a gain of $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the second quarter 2021, we sold our shares in an other equity investment and recognized a gain of $4.2 million. See Note 3, Investments, for additional information.

We did not record any other significant nonrecurring fair value measurements for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Our financial instruments not carried at fair value consist primarily of accounts receivable, restricted cash, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued merchant and supplier payables and accrued expenses. The carrying values of those assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 12. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock units, performance share units, ESPP shares, warrants, capped call transactions and convertible senior notes. If dilutive, those potentially dilutive securities are reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share using the treasury stock method, except for the convertible senior notes, which are subject to the if-converted method.

(1)We apply the if-converted method in computing the effect of our convertible senior notes on diluted net income (loss) per share, whereby the numerator of our diluted net income (loss) per share computations is adjusted for interest expense, net of tax, and the denominator is adjusted for the number shares into which the convertible senior notes could be converted. The effect is only included in the calculation of income (loss) per share for those instruments for which it would reduce income (loss) per share. See Note 5, Financing Arrangements, for additional information.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The segment information reported in the tables below reflects the operating results that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Our operations are organized into 2two segments: North America and International. Our measure of segment profitability is contribution profit, defined as gross profit less marketing expense, which is consistent with how management reviews the operating results of the segments. Contribution profit measures the amount of marketing investment needed to generate gross profit. Other operating expenses are excluded from contribution profit as management does not review those expenses by segment. We completed a transition to a third-party goods marketplace in International in 2021, and therefore we no longer generate product revenue in our Goods category. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, adjustments to accruals previously established in our Goods category related to product are presented within service.

The following table summarizes revenue by reportable segment and category for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of many factors, including those we describe under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. See Part I, Forward-Looking Statements, for additional information.

Overview

Groupon is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants. Consumers access our marketplace through our mobile applications and our websites. We operate in two segments, North America and International, and operate in three categories, Local, Goods and Travel. See Item 1, Note 13, Segment Information, for additional information.

Our strategy is to be the trusted ~~local~~ marketplace where customers go to buy local services and experiences. We plan to unlock value by improving our expense structure and offering more differentiated ~~inventory. To improve our expense structure, we plan~~inventory to ~~streamline our technology platform~~stimulate customer engagement and ~~operating processes throughout the organization. To differentiate our~~demand. Our inventory ~~we plan to expand our inventory in two innovative ways: uniquely~~efforts include testing of curated ~~inventory~~ collections and our intention to launch a ~~standalone marketplace experience~~test concept for ~~premium~~a new Beauty ~~& Wellness experiences.~~platform.

Currently, we generate service revenue from Local, Travel, and Goods categories. Service revenue primarily represents the net commissions earned from selling goods or services on behalf of third-party merchants. Service revenue is reported on a net basis as the purchase price collected from the customer less the portion of the purchase price that is payable to the third-party merchant. We also earn commissions when customers make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites and mobile applications.

In prior periods, we also generated product revenue from sales of our first-party Goods merchandise inventory. For product revenue transactions, we were the primary party responsible for providing the merchandise to the customer, we had inventory risk and we had discretion in establishing prices. As such, product revenue was reported on a gross basis as the purchase price received from the customer. Product revenue, including associated shipping revenue, was recognized when the merchandise was delivered to the customer. We completed the transition to a third-party marketplace in North America in 2020, and in International in 2021.

~~Recovery~~recover from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~has~~as most health and safety restrictions have been and could continue to be volatile and prolonged given the unprecedented and continuously evolving nature of the situation and the emergence and spread of new variants. The future impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments and our ability to respond to the changing environment, including the magnitude and durationlifted, certain adverse consequences of the pandemic continue to impact the macroeconomic environment and may persist for some time. Impacts to our operations may be caused by macroeconomic trends such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures, higher labor costs, labor shortages, supply chain challenges and resulting changes in consumer and merchant behavior.

2022 Cost Savings Plan

The first phase of the 2022 Restructuring Plan is expected to include an overall reduction of approximately 500 positions globally, with the majority of these reductions expected to occur by the end of 2022 and the ~~protective measures taken~~remainder in early 2023. In connection with these actions, we expect to ~~reduce its spread.~~record total pre-tax charges of $10.0 million to $20.0 million. Substantially all of the pre-tax charges are expected to be paid in cash and will relate to employee severance and compensation benefits, with an immaterial amount of charges related to other exit costs. We expect to begin the next phase of our restructuring actions under this plan in 2023, and we anticipate these actions will include a focus on reducing our technology platform costs following the completion of our transition to the cloud.

How We Measure Our Business

We use several operating and financial metrics to assess the progress of our business and make decisions on where to allocate capital, time and technology investments. Certain of the financial metrics are

reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and certain of those metrics are considered non-GAAP financial measures. As our business evolves, we may make changes to the key financial and operating metrics that we use to measure our business. For further information and reconciliations to the most applicable financial measures under U.S. GAAP, refer to our discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Results of Operations section.

Operating Metrics

•Gross billings is the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services. Gross billings is presented net of customer refunds, order discounts and sales and related taxes. The substantial majority of our service revenue transactions are comprised of sales of vouchers and similar transactions in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion of the transaction price to the third-party merchant who will provide the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differs from revenue reported in our ~~condensed consolidated statements~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~operations,~~Operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price. As noted above in Overview, beginning in 2021 for our North America segment and 2022 for our International segment, gross billings from our Goods category is primarily reported on a net basis within service revenue. Gross billings is an indicator of our growth and business performance as it measures the dollar volume of transactions generated through our marketplaces. Tracking gross billings on service revenue transactions also allows us to monitor the percentage of gross billings that we are able to retain after payments to merchants. However, we are focused on achieving long-term gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA growth.

•Units are the number of purchases during the reporting period, before refunds and cancellations, made either through one of our online marketplaces, a third-party marketplace, or directly with a merchant for which we earn a commission. We do not include purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites or mobile applications in our units metric. We consider units to be an important indicator of the total volume of business conducted through our marketplaces. We report units on a gross basis prior to the consideration of customer refunds and therefore units are not always a good proxy for gross billings.

•Active customers are unique user accounts that have made a purchase during the trailing twelve months ("TTM") either through one of our online marketplaces or directly with a merchant for which we earned a commission. We consider this metric to be an important indicator of our business performance as it helps us to understand how the number of customers actively purchasing our offerings is trending. Some customers could establish and make purchases from more than one account, so it is possible that our active customer metric may count certain customers more than once in a given period. We do not include consumers who solely make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites or mobile applications in our active customer metric, nor do we include consumers who solely make purchases of our inventory through third-party marketplaces with which we partner.

Our gross billings and units for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

Financial Metrics

•Revenue is currently earned through service revenue transactions which we generate commissions by selling goods or services on behalf of third-party merchants. Service revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis as the purchase price collected from the customer for the offering less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid to the third-party merchant. Service revenue also includes commissions we earn when customers make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our digital properties. In prior periods, we generated product revenue from our sales of first-party Goods inventory. Our ~~historical~~ product revenue from these first-party transactions, which were direct sales of merchandise inventory, was the purchase price received from the customer. As noted above in Overview, beginning in 2021 for our North America segment and 2022 for our International segment, revenue from our Goods category is primarily reported on a net basis within service revenue.

•Gross profit reflects the net margin we earn after deducting our cost of revenue from our revenue. In prior periods for our International segment, there is a lack of comparability between product revenue, which is reported on a gross basis, and service revenue, which primarily consists of transactions reported on a net basis. Due to the lack of comparability of revenue generated from our Goods category in prior periods, we believe that gross profit is an important measure for evaluating our performance.

•Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) from ~~continuing~~ operations excluding income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expense (benefit), net and other special charges and credits, including items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. For further information and a reconciliation to net income (loss) ~~from continuing operations,~~, refer to our discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Results of Operations section.

•Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from ~~continuing~~ operations less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. For further information and a reconciliation to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, ~~from continuing operations,~~ refer to our discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

Operating Expenses

•Marketing expense consists primarily of online marketing costs, such as search engine marketing, advertising on social networking sites and affiliate programs, and offline marketing costs, such as television and radio advertising. Additionally, compensation expense for marketing employees is classified within marketing expense. We record these costs within Marketing on the ~~condensed consolidated statements~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~operations~~Operations when incurred. From time to time, we have offerings from well-known national merchants for customer acquisition and activation purposes, for which the amount we owe the merchant for each voucher sold exceeds the transaction price paid by the customer. Our gross billings from those transactions generate no service revenue and our net cost (i.e., the excess of the amount owed to the merchant over the amount paid by the customer) is classified as marketing expense. We evaluate marketing expense as a percentage of gross profit because it gives us an indication of how well our marketing spend is driving gross profit performance.

•Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include selling expenses such as sales commissions and other compensation expenses for sales representatives, as well as costs associated with supporting the sales function such as technology, telecommunications and travel. General and

administrative expenses include compensation expense for employees involved in customer service, operations, technology and product development, as well as general corporate functions, such as finance,

legal and human resources. Additional costs in general and administrative include depreciation and amortization, rent, professional fees, litigation costs, travel and entertainment, recruiting, office supplies, maintenance, certain technology costs and other general corporate costs. We evaluate SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit because it gives us an indication of our operating efficiency.

•Restructuring and related charges represent severance and benefit costs for workforce reductions, impairments and other facilities-related costs and professional advisory fees. See Item 1, Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for additional information about our restructuring plan.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Comparison of the Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021:

The effective tax rates for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets. The three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were also impacted by the reduction to our estimated annual tax rate due to an increase in expected annual losses. The three months ended September 30, 2021 were also impacted by the benefit of non-taxable items ~~and~~including the unrealized gain on the observable price change recorded for an other equity method investment during the three months ended September 30, 2021, the U.S. research and development tax ~~credit.~~credit, and reversals of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the closing of applicable statutes of limitations. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, we had a full valuation recorded against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We recorded a partial valuation allowance release in Q4 2021. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance in the U.S. against capital losses, deferred tax assets that will convert into capital losses upon reversal, and state credits that we are not expecting to be able to realize. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses. See Item 1, Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information relating to tax audits and assessments and regulatory and legal developments that may impact our business and results of operations in the future.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also impacted by the reduction to our estimated annual tax rate due to an increase in expected annual losses. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 were also impacted by the benefit of non-taxable items including the unrealized gain on the observable price change recorded for an other equity method investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the U.S. research and development tax credit, and reversals of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the closing of applicable statutes of limitations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a full valuation recorded against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We recorded a partial valuation allowance release in Q4 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance in the U.S. against capital losses, deferred tax assets that will convert into capital losses upon reversal, and state credits that we are not expecting to be able to realize. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses. See Item 1, Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information relating to tax audits and assessments and regulatory and legal developments that may impact our business and results of operations in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results. Those non-GAAP financial measures ~~which are presented on a continuing operations basis,~~ are intended to aid investors in better understanding our current financial performance and prospects for the future as seen through the eyes of management. We believe that those non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons with our historical results and with the results of peer companies who present similar measures (although other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we define them, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures). However, those non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we define as ~~Income~~Net income (loss) ~~from continuing operations~~ excluding income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and other special charges and credits, including items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions for the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for ~~Income~~Net income (loss) ~~from continuing operations.~~.

We exclude stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization because they are primarily non-cash in nature and we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding those items provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, special charges and credits included charges related to our 2020 and 2022 restructuring ~~plan.~~plans, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, special charges and credits included impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets. We exclude special charges and credits from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that excluding those items provides meaningful supplemental information about our core operating performance and facilitates comparisons with our historical results.

The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, Net income (loss), for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that comprises net cash provided by operating activities ~~from continuing operations~~ less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business because ~~although it is similar to cash flow from continuing operations,~~ we believe that it typically represents a more useful measure of cash flows because purchases of fixed assets, software developed for internal use and website development costs are necessary components of our ongoing operations. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the applicable period.

Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow reflects the impact of the timing difference between when we are paid by customers and when we pay merchants and suppliers. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our ~~condensed consolidated statements~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~cash flows.~~Cash Flows. For a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results. Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results show current period operating results as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained the same as those in effect in the prior year period. Those measures are intended to facilitate comparisons to our historical performance.

Our revenue-generating transactions are primarily structured such that we collect cash up-front from customers and pay third-party merchants at a later date, either based upon the customer's redemption of the related voucher or fixed payment terms, which are generally biweekly throughout the term of the merchant's offering.

Our cash balances fluctuate significantly throughout the year based on many variables, including gross billings growth rates, the timing of payments to merchants and suppliers and the mix of transactions between Goods and Local.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities was ~~$78.2~~$151.9 million, as compared with ~~$34.4~~$180.1 million net loss. That difference is primarily attributable tonon-cash items of $119.9 million, including goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation partially offset by a ~~$68.7~~$91.7 million net decrease from changes in working capital ~~which was primarily related to seasonal timing of payments to merchants and suppliers and the impact of COVID-19 of lower cash inflows from bookings,~~ and other non-current assets and ~~liabilities, partially offset by non-cash items, including depreciation~~liabilities. We have a cyclical business where, typically, the Accrued merchant and ~~amortization~~supplier payables balance is highest in the fourth quarter of the year and ~~stock-based compensation.~~lowest in the third quarter of the year which results in the highest merchant cash outflows during the first nine months of the year. The cyclical nature of the balances of our merchant payables, in addition to reduced cash inflows from lower bookings during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulted in an $80.4 million cash outflow within changes in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities was ~~$46.4~~$154.9 million, as compared with ~~a $14.4~~$90.0 million net income. That difference is primarily due to a ~~$53.1~~$204.8 million net decrease from changes in working capital and other non-current assets and liabilities. The working capital impact was related to seasonal timing of payments to inventory suppliers, mid-year bonus payments and a shortening of the ~~impact of COVID-19.~~purchase to redemption cycle relative to the year-end 2020 when redemption patterns were more heavily impacted by COVID-19, resulting in higher merchant payment outflows for the year-to-date period. The difference between our net cash used in operating activities and our net income ~~from continuing operations is~~was also due to ~~$7.7~~$40.2 million of non-cash items, including $95.5 million of changes in fair value of our investments and a ~~$32.2~~$32.3 million foreign currency translation adjustment gain that was reclassified into earnings ~~due to our~~as a result of the substantial liquidation of our subsidiary in Japan, partially offset by depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities was ~~$13.9~~$32.6 million, which included purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software of ~~$13.0~~$30.5 million.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, our net cash used in investing activities was ~~$12.7~~$33.5 million, which included purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software of ~~$12.0~~$37.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of other equity investments of $6.9 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our net cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities was ~~$3.0~~$2.5 million, which included ~~$2.5~~$50.0 million in proceeds under our revolving credit agreement, $40.0 million in payments under our revolving credit agreement and $5.6 million in taxes paid related to net share settlements of stock-based compensation awards.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, our net cash ~~provided by~~used in financing activities was ~~$62.6~~$180.5 million. Our net cash ~~provided by~~used in financing activities included ~~$200.0~~payments of $254.0 million for the repurchase of the Atairos Notes, $100.0 million of ~~proceeds received from~~repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, $27.4 million related to the ~~issuance~~purchase of ~~the 2026 Notes, partially offset by $6.6~~capped call transactions, $17.6 million in taxes paid related to net share settlements of stock based compensation awards and $7.7 million in cash paid for issuance costs for the 2026 Notes and the ~~revolving credit agreement, $23.8~~Amended Credit Agreement, partially offset by $230.0 million ~~related to~~of proceeds received from the ~~purchase~~issuance of ~~capped call transactions, and $100.0 million in payments under our revolving credit agreement.~~the 2026 Notes.

In July 2020, we entered into an amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the "First Amendment") which permanently ~~reduces~~reduced borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility from $400.0 million to $225.0 million. In March 2021, we entered into a second amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the "Second Amendment" ~~and the revolving credit agreement as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement"~~) to, ~~amongst~~among other things, permit the issuance of the 2026 Notes and related capped call transactions. In September 2022, we entered into a third amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment" and the Prior Credit Agreement as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement") which reduces borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility from $225.0 million to $150.0 million. We ~~were~~remained in compliance with the applicable covenants as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 ~~based on the borrowings outstanding~~ under our Amended Credit Agreement. However, our access to the full capacity of our Amended Credit Agreement is partially restricted and our liquidity is impacted accordingly. In the future, we may be required to repay amounts borrowed, which could further impact our liquidity. In addition, if we are not able to comply with these covenants, we may need to seek covenant relief in the future. See Item 1, Note 5, Financing Arrangementsfor additional information.

We believe that our cash balances, excluding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Primarily as a result of net losses, we have experienced net cash outflows from operating activities for each annual and interim period since March 31, 2020 other than the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. We plan to continue to actively manage and optimize our cash balances and liquidity, working capital and operating expenses, although there can be no assurances that we will be able to do so. We have historically seen cash inflow from operating activities in the fourth quarter from seasonally higher volume and we expect that pattern to continue in 2022. Additionally, we initiated our actions on the 2022 Cost Savings Plan in the third quarter 2022 which we expect will reduce operating expenses and cash outflow from operating activities in future periods. See the Overview section for further discussion on the 2022 Cost Savings Plan.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$69.7~~$55.0 million in cash held by our international subsidiaries, which is primarily denominated in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars, and, to a lesser extent, Australian dollars. In general, it is our practice and intention to re-invest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business.

In May 2018, the Board authorized us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock under our share repurchase program. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, $245.0 million of common stock remained available for purchase under our program. The timing and amount of share repurchases, if any, will be determined based on market conditions, ~~limitations under the Amended Credit Agreement,~~ share price, available cash and other factors, and the share repurchase program may be terminated at any time. Repurchases will be made in compliance with SEC rules and other legal requirements and may be made, in part, under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which permits share repurchases when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 did not materially change from the amounts set forth in our 2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K, except as disclosed in Item 1, Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements,~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, refer to the critical accounting estimates under Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There are no accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We transact business in various foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency risk. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we derived approximately ~~28.1%~~25.3% and 26.8% of our revenue from our International segment. Revenue and related expenses generated from our international operations are generally denominated in the local currencies of the corresponding countries. The functional currencies of our subsidiaries that either operate or support these markets are generally the same as the corresponding local currencies. However, the results of operations of, and certain of our intercompany balances associated with, our international operations are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Upon consolidation, as exchange rates vary, our revenue and other operating results may differ materially from expectations, and we may record significant gains or losses on the re-measurement of intercompany balances.

We assess our foreign currency exchange risk based on hypothetical changes in rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on working capital based on a 10% change (increase and decrease) in currency rates. We use a current market pricing model to assess the changes in the value of the U.S. dollar on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The primary assumption used in this model is a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against those currency exposures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our net working capital deficit (defined as current assets less current liabilities) from subsidiaries that are subject to foreign currency translation risk was ~~$36.5~~$26.3 million. The potential increase in this working capital deficit from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be ~~$3.7~~$2.6 million. This compares with a $69.2 million working capital deficit subject to foreign currency exposure as of December 31, 2021, for which a 10% adverse change would have resulted in a potential increase in this working capital deficit of $6.9 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash balance as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 consists of bank deposits ~~and government money market funds,~~ so exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is limited. In March and April 2021, we issued the 2026 Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million (see Item 1, Note 5, Financing Arrangements). The 2026 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate, so we have no financial statement impact from changes in interest rates. However, changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of the 2026 Notes along with other variables such as our credit spreads and the market price and volatility of our common stock. Our Amended Credit Agreement provides for aggregate principal borrowings of up to ~~$225.0~~$150.0 million. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$100.0~~$110.0 million of borrowings outstanding and ~~$25.0~~$24.5 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement. See Item 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional information. Because borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate, we are exposed to market risk relating to changes in interest rates if we borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement. We have ~~$83.0~~$53.4 million of lease obligations as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Interest rates on existing leases typically do not change unless there is a modification to a lease agreement and as such, we do not believe that the interest rate risk on the lease obligations is significant.

Inflation Risk

In light of the current inflationary environment, our business is being affected by ~~limitations on~~changes to our merchants' and customers' discretionary spend. We expect such discretionary spend limitations to continue, and if we do not see increased overall demand for discounted goods and services to help offset these limitations on individual merchants and customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, increased inflation could negatively impact our business by driving up our operating costs. Our costs are subject to inflationary pressures, ~~which we expect to continue,~~ and if those pressures become significant, we may not be able to offset such higher costs through price increases or other cost efficiency measures. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our ~~Interim~~ Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ~~Interim~~ Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please see Item 1, Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, to our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, except as supplemented ~~and updated~~ below:

Our ~~international operations are subject~~access to ~~varied~~capital and ~~evolving sociopolitical conditions as well as commercial, employment and regulatory challenges,~~ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, which could prevent us from growing, and our ~~inability~~existing credit agreement could restrict our business activities.

We may need additional capital in the future and to ~~adapt~~seek additional financing or covenant relief. Any such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. We have outstanding $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.125% convertible senior notes (the "2026 Notes") due March 2026. In addition, we are party to a $150.0 million amended and restated credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, dated as of May 14, 2019, as amended by the First Amendment to the ~~diverse~~Second Amended and ~~changing landscapes~~Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2020 (the "First Amendment"), as further amended by the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021 (the "Second Amendment"), and as further amended by the Third Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2022 (the "Third Amendment" and the revolving credit agreement, as amended the "Amended Credit Agreement"), which matures in May 2024.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial and other covenants that may restrict our ~~international markets may adversely affect our business.~~

~~Our international operations require management attention and resources and also require us to localize our services to conform to a wide variety of local cultures,~~ business ~~practices, laws and policies. Our international operations are subject to numerous risks, including the following:~~

•difficulty in staffing, including attracting and retaining talent with an appropriate level of skill and experience, including product and technology expertise, GAAP knowledge and experience to create the proper control environment for effective internal control over financial reporting, developing and managing foreign operations, including through centralized shared service centers, as a result of distance, language barriers and cultural differences;

•~~seasonal reductions in business activity;~~

•~~expenses associated with localizing our products; and~~

•~~differing intellectual property laws.~~

We are subject to complex laws and regulations that apply to our international operations, such as data privacy and protection requirements, including GDPR, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Anti-Bribery Act and similar local laws prohibiting certain payments to government officials, banking and payment processing regulations and anti-competition regulations, among others. The cost of complying with these various, and sometimes conflicting, laws and regulations is substantial. We have implemented and continue to implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, however, we cannot ensure that our employees, contractors, or agents will not violate our policies. Changing laws, regulations and enforcement actions in the United States and throughout the world could harm our business. If commercial and regulatory constraints in our international markets restrict our ability to ~~conduct~~access the full capacity of our ~~operations~~credit facility or require us to repay amounts borrowed. In addition, if we are not able to comply with these covenants, we may need to seek additional covenant relief or modifications in the future. Failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Amended Credit Agreement (if not waived or further amended) could give rise to an event of default and, if not cured, entitle the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding thereunder and terminate our ability to borrow in the future under the Amended Credit Agreement. Further, acceleration of indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the indenture (the "Indenture") governing our 2026 Notes. Any termination of our ability to borrow or event of default under our Amended Credit Agreement would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

Additionally, other general economic conditions and our future operating performance, could ultimately limit our access to funding under our Amended Credit Agreement. Furthermore, additional equity financing may dilute the interests of our common stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could further restrict our business activities or our ability to execute our strategic ~~plan,~~objectives and could reduce our profitability. If we cannot access the full capacity of our credit facility or raise or borrow funds on acceptable terms or at all, it could adversely affect our liquidity, and we may not be able to grow our business ~~may be adversely affected.~~or respond to competitive pressures.
