NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of Nerdy Inc. (herein referred to as “Nerdy,” the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Nerdy and its consolidated subsidiaries) as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, filed with the SEC on February 28, ~~2022.~~2023.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire year. ~~Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact~~

Nerdy Inc. was formed on ~~net earnings (loss) or stockholders’ equity (deficit) as previously reported.~~

On September 20, 2021 ~~(the “Closing Date”),~~in connection with a business combination between TPG Pace Tech Opportunities ~~Corp., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands~~ (“TPG Pace”), and Live Learning Technologies LLC ~~a Delaware limited liability company~~ (along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “Nerdy LLC”~~), consummated a business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of January 28, 2021 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”~~). Nerdy LLC is a holding company that is the sole owner of ~~several~~multiple operating companies, including its flagship business Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”). ~~Immediately prior to the Closing, TPG Pace became a Delaware corporation and was renamed Nerdy Inc.~~

As a result of the business combination and related transactions (the “Reverse Recapitalization”), Nerdy LLC merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nerdy Inc., with Nerdy LLC surviving such merger. Nerdy Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership interests in Nerdy LLC and its indirect interests in the subsidiaries of Nerdy LLC, and has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. ~~Members of Nerdy LLC are the legacy holders of Nerdy LLC historical common and preferred equity (the “Legacy Nerdy Holder(s)”) and Nerdy Inc.~~

~~Immediately following the Reverse Recapitalization,~~ Nerdy Inc. ~~had~~has the following classes of securities issued and outstanding: (i) ~~83,875 shares of~~ Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”)~~, including Earnouts (as defined below),~~ and (ii) ~~73,971 shares of~~ Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), ~~including Earnouts, and (iii) 17,281 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of~~together with the Class A Common Stock, ~~at a price of $11.50 per share.~~the “Common Stock”). The shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below), have voting rights only, and have no dividend or economic rights. The Company does not intend to list its Class B Common Stock on any stock exchange.

Prior to the Public and FPA Warrant Exchange and the Private Warrant Transaction (both terms defined below), Nerdy Inc.’s had warrants ~~consist~~that consisted of TPG Pace’s previously outstanding private placement warrants and public warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares that were converted into corresponding private placement warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (the “Private Placement Warrant(s)”) and public warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (the “Public Warrant(s)”). Each Private Placement Warrant and Public Warrant ~~allows~~allowed for the purchase of one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Additionally, Nerdy Inc. also issued warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock in connection with a forward purchase agreement (the “FPA Warrant(s)”). Each FPA Warrant ~~allows~~allowed for the purchase of one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

~~Immediately following~~Nerdy LLC has units issued and outstanding (the “OpCo Units”) to its members, the ~~Reverse Recapitalization,~~legacy holders of Nerdy LLC historical common and preferred equity (the “Legacy Nerdy Holder(s)”) and Nerdy Inc. Prior to the Private Warrant Transaction, Nerdy LLC had ~~the following units and warrants outstanding: (i) 157,846 units (the “OpCo Units”), including Earnouts, and (ii) 2,052~~previously outstanding warrants to purchase OpCo Units at an exercise price of $11.50 (the exercise of which would also result in the issuance of one corresponding share of Class B Common Stock) (the “OpCo Warrant(s)”).

The Private Placement Warrants, the Public Warrants, the FPA Warrants, and the OpCo Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant(s).” At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company holds 22 of the total Warrants issued in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization.

Of the total shares and units issued as a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, there are 8,000 shares or units of (i) Class A Common Stock or (ii) OpCo Units (and a corresponding number of Class B Common Stock), as applicable, that will be subject to forfeiture if the achievement of certain stock price thresholds of the Class A Common Stock are not met within five years of

~~Table of Contents~~

the Reverse Recapitalization (assuming there is no change in control event) (the “Earnout(s)”). At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company holds 36 of the total Earnouts issued in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization.

As part of the Reverse Recapitalization, Nerdy Inc. contributed all of its assets (other than the OpCo Units it then held) to Nerdy LLC in exchange for additional OpCo Units and OpCo Warrants. Nerdy LLC, as a result of the contribution by Nerdy Inc., received proceeds of $558,324 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 ($557,574 during the year ended December 31, 2021 after the remaining TPG Pace transaction expenses were paid). Nerdy LLC used these proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to (i) pay cash consideration of $299,317 to Legacy Nerdy Holders ($336,846 after the remaining cash was paid to Legacy Nerdy Holders in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022), (ii) pay transaction fees and expenses of $22,974 ($29,636 during the year ended December 31, 2021 after the remaining fees and expenses were paid), and (iii) repay $52,343 of outstanding principal, interest, and other charges under its Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”). The remaining funds were contributed to Nerdy LLC’s balance sheet.

Nerdy Inc. and Nerdy LLC will at all times maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock issued by Nerdy Inc. and the number of OpCo Units issued by Nerdy LLC. ~~Nerdy LLC is managed by a five person board of managers, composed of three persons designated by Nerdy Inc.~~

The Private Placement Warrants, the Public Warrants, the FPA Warrants, and ~~two persons designated by holders of a majority~~the OpCo Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant(s).” At December 31, 2022, the Company held 22 of the total issued Warrants.

Prior to the Earnout Transaction (as defined below), of the total shares and units issued and outstanding, there were 8,000 shares or units of (i) Class A Common Stock or (ii) OpCo Units held by members of Nerdy LLC other than Nerdy Inc. Nerdy LLC’s management will continue to manage Nerdy LLC and all of its related and affiliated entities (subject to approval of Nerdy Inc.’s Board of Directors) and Nerdy Inc.’s executive officers serve as the executive officers for all of its related and affiliated entities.

~~As of September 30, 2022, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 65,790 OpCo Units, excluding Earnouts, equal to 42.6% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 65,790 shares~~(and a corresponding number of Class B Common ~~Stock, excluding Earnouts, which represents 42.6%~~Stock), as applicable, that were subject to forfeiture if the achievement of ~~the combined voting power~~certain stock price thresholds of ~~Nerdy Inc., excluding Earnouts.~~

~~As of September 30, 2022,~~ the ~~public stockholders of Nerdy Inc., including certain Legacy Nerdy Holders, (i) owned 88,600 shares of~~ Class A Common Stock excluding Earnouts, which represents 57.4% of the combined voting power of Nerdy Inc., excluding Earnouts, and 100% of the economic interest in Nerdy Inc., and (ii) through Nerdy Inc.’s ownership of 88,600 OpCo Units, indirectly hold 57.4% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC.

In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization, Nerdy LLC incurred expenses of $24,972 and $29,636 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Of the total costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021, $7,216 were recorded as “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and $17,756 were recorded as a reduction of “Additional paid-in capital” at the Closing of the Reverse Recapitalization. Of the total costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $9,602 were recorded as “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and $20,034 were recorded as a reduction of “Additional paid-in capital” at the Closing of the Reverse Recapitalization. Of the expenses that were recorded as a reduction of “Additional paid-in capital” at the Closingnot met within five years of the Reverse Recapitalization ~~$16,712 were paid by Nerdy LLC during~~(assuming there was no change in control event) (the “Earnout(s)”).

The Public and FPA Warrant Exchange, the ~~achievement~~Private Warrant Transaction, and the Earnout Transaction

Public and FPA Warrant Exchange

On September 25, 2023, the Company concluded an offer to holders of ~~certain stock price thresholds are not met within five years~~its then outstanding Public Warrants and FPA Warrants, which provided such holders the opportunity to receive 0.25 shares of Nerdy Inc.’s Class A Common Stock (the “Public Offer exchange rate”) in exchange for each Public Warrant and FPA Warrant tendered by such holders (the “Offer”). This Offer included a solicitation of consents from holders of the ~~Reverse Recapitalization. To~~Public Warrants and FPA Warrants to amend the ~~extent these price thresholds are met,~~warrant agreement with respect to certain terms of the Public Warrants and the FPA Warrants (the “Public and FPA Warrant Amendment”, together with the Offer, the “Public and FPA Warrant Exchange”). At the closing of the Offer, all remaining outstanding Public and FPA warrants that were not exchanged at the election of the holder were converted into 0.225 shares of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the Public and FPA Warrant Amendment. As a result of the Public and FPA Warrant Exchange, 12,000 Public Warrants and FPA Warrants were exchanged for 2,992 shares of Nerdy Inc.’s Class A Common Stock, with a nominal cash settlement in lieu of fractional shares. No Public Warrants and FPA Warrants remain outstanding after the Public and FPA Warrant Exchange.

Private Warrant Transaction

Concurrently with the Offer, holders of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants and the OpCo Warrants agreed to amend the warrant agreement with respect to certain terms of the Private Placement Warrants and OpCo Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrant Amendment”, together with the Public and FPA Warrant Amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”). The Warrant Amendment, among other provisions, required that upon the closing of the Offer that (a) each Private Placement Warrant be automatically exchanged or exercised on a cashless basis into shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) each OpCo Warrant that is outstanding be automatically exercised on a cashless basis into OpCo Units with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock being issued, in each case, at the same ratio as the Public Offer exchange rate (the “Private Warrant Transaction”, together with the Public and FPA Warrant Exchange, the “Warrant Transactions”). As a result of the Private Warrant Transaction, 5,281 Private Placement Warrants were exchanged or exercised on a cashless basis for 1,314 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with a nominal cash settlement in lieu of fractional shares and 2,052 OpCo Warrants were exchanged or exercised on a cashless basis for 513 OpCo Units (with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock), with a nominal cash settlement in lieu of fractional shares. No Private Placement Warrants and OpCo Warrants remain outstanding after the Private Warrant Transaction.

Earnout Transaction

Concurrently with the Offer, holders of the then outstanding Earnouts agreed to forfeit (and thus surrender for cancellation) 60% of the Earnouts they held and agreed that the remaining 40% of the Earnouts will no longer be subject to potential forfeiture and ~~the units~~ will ~~then~~ be ~~included in the calculation~~either regular shares of Class A Common Stock or regular OpCo Units (with an equivalent number of regular shares of Class B Common Stock) (the “Earnout Transaction”). As a result of the ~~ownership interests in Nerdy LLC.~~Earnout Transaction, 2,764 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,015 OpCo Units (with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock) were cancelled and 1,842 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,343 OpCo Units (with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock) remain outstanding after the Earnout Transaction and are no longer subject to forfeiture. The 36 Earnouts held by the Company are now regular shares of Class A Common Stock and are no longer subject to forfeiture.

~~For~~Transaction Expenses

In connection with these transactions, the Company incurred expenses of $1,940 during three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021, $17,484~~2023, of which $1,373 was accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2023. These expenses were included in “General and ~~$23,546~~administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the ~~consolidated net losses of Nerdy LLC were attributable~~transactions did not generate any proceeds to the ~~Legacy Nerdy Holders~~Company, and therefore, the costs did not qualify to ~~reflect their absorption of 100% of the consolidated net losses of Nerdy LLC pertaining~~be deferred or charged as a reduction to ~~the days prior to the Reverse Recapitalization.~~

~~In accordance with~~additional paid-in capital under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic ~~805, “Business Combinations”, the historical equity of Nerdy LLC has been recast for the three~~340, “Other Assets and nine months ended September 30, 2021, to reflect the number of shares of Nerdy Inc.’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued to Legacy Nerdy Holders in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization. The Company recast the units outstanding related to the historical Nerdy LLC preferred units and common units (the “Historical Nerdy LLC Equity”) prior to the Reverse Recapitalization as common equity of Nerdy Inc., reflecting the exchange ratio of 1-for-0.64, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto give effect to the conversion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, without any change to par value or per unit amounts. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent the capital structure of Nerdy Inc. had the Reverse Recapitalization occurred in prior periods. The Company has not

~~Table of Contents~~

~~made retroactive adjustments related to the historical book values of Historical Nerdy LLC Equity as the adjustments were considered immaterial.~~Deferred Costs.”

NOTE 2 — RECENTLY ~~ISSUED AND~~ ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

~~Recently Issued~~

In June 2016, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)~~FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments

Table of Contents

based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ~~This ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023.~~ The new current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model generally calls for the immediate recognition of all expected credit losses and applies to loans, accounts and trade receivables, as well as other financial assets measured at amortized cost, loan commitments and off-balance sheet credit exposures, debt securities, and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. This ASU replaces the current incurred loss model for measuring expected credit losses, requires expected losses on available for sale debt securities to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost of the securities, and provides for additional disclosure requirements. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~ The Company ~~is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU.~~

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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,” which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. This ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it simplifies the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation in certain areas. The Company is required to adoptadopted this ASU on January 1, ~~2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU.~~

~~Recently Adopted~~

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. This ASU also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides entities with a new transition method where comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the period of adoption will not need to be restated. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the provisions of the standard at the adoption date, versus at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted these ASUs on January 1, 2022, as required by the ASUs, and utilized the cumulative effect adjustment approach, which did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s opening balance of retained earnings. At adoption, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities of $4,154 and $4,870, respectively, on the balance sheet at January 1, 2022. The new standard did not materially impact the statements of operations, cash flows, or stockholders’ equity (deficit). Additionally, the Company provides expanded disclosures related to its leasing arrangements2023 in accordance with ~~these ASUs. For additional information, see Note 13.~~the ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 — NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned ~~65,790~~67,207 OpCo Units, ~~excluding Earnouts,~~ equal to ~~42.6%~~39.2% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and ~~65,790~~67,207 shares of Class B Common ~~Stock, excluding Earnouts.~~Stock. As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned ~~70,629~~65,948 OpCo Units, excluding Earnouts, equal to ~~47.1%~~42.1% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and ~~70,629~~65,948 shares of Class B Common Stock, excluding Earnouts.

The OpCo Units and the shares of Class B Common Stock, together (the “Combined Interests”), may be redeemed at the option of the Legacy Nerdy Holders on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock or the cash equivalent thereof (based on the market price of the shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of redemption) as determined by Nerdy Inc. If Nerdy Inc. elects the redemption to be settled in cash, the cash used to settle the redemption must be funded through a private or public offering of Class A Common Stock no later than ~~five~~ business days after the redemption notice date. Upon the redemption of the OpCo Units and Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock or the equivalent thereof, all redeemed shares of Class B Common Stock will be canceled. After each conversion, Nerdy LLC equity attributable to Nerdy Inc. and the Legacy Nerdy Holders is adjusted to reflect Nerdy Inc.’s and the Legacy Nerdy Holders’ ownership in Nerdy LLC.

~~Table of Contents~~

Nerdy Inc. owned ~~57.4%~~60.8% and ~~52.9%~~57.9% of the outstanding OpCo Units as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. ~~The~~For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the financial results of Nerdy LLC and its subsidiaries were consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and the ~~portion~~portions of the consolidated net losses of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders ~~absorbed, was~~were required to absorb, were allocated to NCI. At the end of each reporting period, Nerdy LLC equity attributable to Nerdy Inc. and the Legacy Nerdy Holders iswas rebalanced to reflect Nerdy Inc.’s and the Legacy Nerdy Holders’ ownership in Nerdy LLC.

Prior to the Earnout Transaction (see Note 1), the Company excluded Earnouts in the calculation of the ownership interests in Nerdy LLC as the Earnouts were subject to forfeiture. As a result of the Earnout Transaction, 40% of the Earnouts are now regular OpCo Units and are now included in such calculations. The remaining 60% of the Earnouts were forfeited.

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

NOTE 5 — RESTRUCTURING

In July 2023, the Company communicated workforce reductions primarily to certain variable hourly employees in tutor operations and IT customer support roles. The workforce reductions were the result of efficiencies gained through new recurring revenue relationships with higher lifetime value customers that simplify the Company’s operating model, as well as ongoing automation efforts involving self-service capabilities, the application of artificial intelligence, and other efficiency efforts.

Restructuring charges and the associated liabilities for employee-related costs related to this event are shown in the following table.

No restructuring charges were incurred during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

Nerdy Inc. holds an economic interest in Nerdy LLC (see Notes 1 and 3), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Nerdy LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income (loss) or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Nerdy Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits of Nerdy LLC. ~~Nerdy Inc. is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions. The taxes related to these foreign jurisdictions were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.~~ The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Nerdy Inc. as of September 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

The effective income tax rate was (0.10)% and (0.17)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and (0.07)% and (0.07)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both the current and prior year periods, primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and income tax ~~expense (benefit)~~benefit attributable to the NCI. Income tax expense reported ~~for~~in both the ~~three~~current and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2022~~prior year periods represents amounts owed to state authorities.

The effective income tax rate was (0.06)% and (0.05)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both prior year periods, primarily due to the recognition

Income tax expense reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents amounts owed to state authorities due to the change in corporate taxpayer status following the Reverse Recapitalization.Contents

~~For the days prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, Nerdy LLC was a partnership. As such, its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits were allocated to its members.~~

NOTE 67 — LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock. Basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, represents the period from September 21, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the days in the prior year periods when the Company had Class A and Class B common stock outstanding. Class B Common Stock does not have economic rights in Nerdy Inc., including rights to dividends or distributions upon liquidation, and as a result, is not considered a participating security for basic and diluted loss per share. As such, basic and diluted loss per share of Class B Common Stock has not been presented. Earnouts do not participate in earnings or losses, but are eligible to receive non-forfeitable dividends, if any, as declared by Nerdy Inc., and as a result, are considered participating securities for basic and diluted loss per share. As such, basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings attributable to Class A Common Stock, if any, are allocated to Class A Common Stock and Earnouts as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed.

Basic loss per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the average number of shares of Class A Common Stock used for the basic loss per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, Warrants, and Earnouts, if any, using the “treasury stock” method and for the Combined Interests that convert into potential shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, using the “if converted” method. “Net loss attributable to Class A Common

~~Table of Contents~~

Stockholders for diluted loss per share” is adjusted for the Nerdy Inc.’s share of Nerdy LLC’s consolidated net loss, net of Nerdy Inc. taxes, after giving effect to dilutive securities. In addition, “Net loss attributable to Class A Common Stockholders for diluted loss per share” is adjusted for the after-tax impact of changes to the fair value of derivative liabilities, to the extent the Company’s Warrants are dilutive.

NOTE 1011 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

~~The~~Prior to the Warrant Transactions and Earnout Transaction (see Note 1), the Company ~~has~~had issued and outstanding Warrants and Earnouts to non-employees. The Warrants and Earnouts held by non-employees ~~are~~were not in the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” and ~~are~~were classified as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” or ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative Warrant and Earnout liabilities ~~are~~were classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation iswas not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. The Company ~~does~~did not offset derivative assets and liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets.~~

Sheet. At ~~both September 30, 2022 and~~ December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the number of ~~Warrants~~Warrant and ~~Earnouts~~Earnout contracts issued and outstanding to non-employees was 19,122 and 7,655, respectively.

As a result of the Warrant Transactions and Earnout Transaction, the Warrants held by non-employees were exchanged or exercised for shares of Class A Common Stock or OpCo Units (with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock) and the portion of the Earnouts held by non-employees that remained outstanding are no longer subject to forfeiture. As such, the Company reviewed the classification of the Warrants and Earnouts issued to non-employees under ASC 815 and concluded the fair value of the Warrant and Earnout liabilities should be reclassified to stockholders’ equity. Immediately prior

Table of Contents

to closing of the transactions, the Company recorded the Warrants and Earnouts issued to non-employees at their fair values, and included these fair value adjustments in “Unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. At the closing of the transactions, the Company reclassified the fair values of the Warrants and Earnouts issued to non-employees to additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interests within stockholders’ equity from other liabilities, which resulted in a decrease to other liabilities and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2023, no Warrant and Earnout contracts to non-employees were outstanding.

The following table presents the balance sheet location and fair value of the Company’s derivative liability instruments on a gross basis, none of which are designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815.

The Company holds certain items that are required to be disclosed at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

~~The Company’s calculation of the fair value of liabilities associated with~~ Public Warrants issued to non-employees ~~was calculated~~were valued using the market approach based upon the quoted market price of Nerdy Inc.’s Public Warrants ~~at the end of each period.~~and were categorized as Level 1.

As such, the Private Placement Warrants, FPA Warrants, and OpCo Warrants issued to non-employees ~~are classified~~were categorized as Level 2. ~~For additional information, see Note 10.~~

The fair value of liabilities associated with the non-employee Earnouts was measured on a recurring basis using the Monte Carlo Option Pricing Method. The fair value measurement ~~was~~is categorized as Level 3, as the fair values utilize significant unobservable inputs. The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity measured on a recurring basis.

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the non-employee Earnouts. The expected life of the non-employee Earnouts was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The Company anticipated the dividend rate ~~will~~would remain at zero.

~~NOTE 12 — LONG-TERM DEBT~~

~~Loan and Security Agreement~~

On August 9, 2019, Nerdy LLC entered into the LSA for an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000, subject to certain limitations. The LSA bore interest equal to the greater of either (i) 10.75% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal minus 5.50% or (ii) 10.75%. Additionally, Nerdy LLC was subject to paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest of 0.55% and an end of term charge equal to 3.00% of the total funded amount. Monthly payments on the LSA were interest only, with the principal, accrued PIK interest, and the end of term charge due in full at maturity. Unused capacity under the LSA did not bear a commitment fee. The LSA was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2023, subject to certain conditions, was secured by substantially all of Nerdy LLC’s assets, and did not contain any financial covenants. Nerdy LLC incurred debt issuance costs of $613 associated with the LSA, which were deferred and were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the LSA. On July 28, 2021, Nerdy LLC borrowed $11,000 from the LSA, increasing total borrowings to $50,000.

With a portion of the proceeds received from the Reverse Recapitalization (see Note 1), Nerdy LLC repaid the $50,000 outstanding principal balance of the LSA. Additionally, Nerdy LLC paid $2,343 in PIK interest, end of term charges, and other expenses. In connection with these repayments and the extinguishment of the LSA, Nerdy LLC recorded a loss of $1,278, which was included in “Loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. This loss was recorded in the period prior to the Reverse Recapitalization as the debt did not legally survive the Reverse Recapitalization. The LSA was terminated in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization, and Nerdy LLC no longer had the ability to borrow under it after the Closing.

~~CARES Act Promissory Note~~

On April 16, 2020, Nerdy LLC applied for and received a loan in exchange for a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”) in the amount of $8,293. The Promissory Note was scheduled to mature on April 16, 2022 and bore a 1.00% interest rate. Nerdy LLC applied for forgiveness of the Promissory Note and on June 30, 2021, Nerdy LLC received notice from the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that the Promissory Note and accrued interest of $102 was forgiven in full. In connection with the forgiveness of the Promissory Note, Nerdy LLC recorded a gain of $8,395, which was reported as “Loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization (see Note 1), Nerdy Inc.’s Board of Directors approved repayment in full by Nerdy LLC of the principal amount and accrued interest of the Promissory Note and notified the SBA of their intent to do so. As a result, Nerdy LLC recorded the Promissory Note principal balance of $8,293 and accrued interest of $102 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Other current liabilities,” and reported a loss of $8,395, which was included in “Other expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. On October 14, 2021, Nerdy LLC repaid the Promissory Note principal balance and accrued interest.

NOTE 13 — ~~LEASES~~

In connection with the adoption of ASUs 2016-02 and 2018-11 (see Note 2), the Company updated its policy for recognizing leases under ASC Topic 842. A summary of the updated policy is included below. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company accounted for leases under ASC Topic 840, “Leases.”

~~Lease Portfolio~~

The Company leases office space in St. Louis, MO and in Tempe, AZ through operating lease agreements. Additionally, the Company subleases its Tempe, AZ office space as a result of a sublease agreement entered into in 2020. The Company has no finance lease agreements. The lease in St. Louis, MO has a remaining term of 11 months. The lease and sublease in Tempe, AZ each have a remaining term of approximately three years. The Company makes payments to the lessor of the office space in Tempe, AZ, while receiving payments from the sublessee.

~~Lease Policy~~

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. When the arrangements include lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for them as a single lease component. Leases with an initial term of less than 12 months are not reported on the balance sheet, but rather recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Arrangements may include options to extend or terminate the lease arrangement. These options are included in the lease term used to establish ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. The Company will reassess expected lease terms based on changes in circumstances that indicate options may be more or less likely to be exercised.

The Company has lease arrangements that include variable rental payments. The future variability of these payments and adjustments are unknown and therefore are not included in minimum rental payments used to determine the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company has lease arrangements where it makes separate payments to the lessor based on the lessor’s common area maintenance expenses, property and casualty insurance costs, property taxes assessed on the property, and other variable expenses. As the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, these variable amounts are captured in lease expense in the period in which they are incurred. Variable rental payments are recognized in the period in which their associated obligation is incurred. Sublease income is recognized in the period in which the income is earned.

As most of the Company’s lease arrangements do not provide an implicit interest rate, an incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) is applied in determining the present value of future payments. The Company’s IBR is selected based upon information available at the lease commencement date, and represents the Company’s estimate of an interest rate that it would be able to obtain from a lender to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment.

The ROU assets are reported as “Other assets,” and lease liabilities are reported as “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Variable lease expense and sublease income are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

~~Impact of Adoption~~

The Company utilized the cumulative effect adjustment method of adoption and, accordingly, recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $4,154 and $4,870, respectively, on the balance sheet at January 1, 2022. The Company elected the following practical expedients in accordance with ASC Topic 842:

•Reassessment elections — The Company elected the package of practical expedients, and did not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease, provided a lease analysis was conducted under ASC Topic 840. To the extent leases were identified under ASC Topic 840, the Company did not reassess the classification of those leases. Additionally, to the extent initial direct costs were capitalized under ASC Topic 840 and are not amortized as a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 842, they were not reassessed.

•Short-term lease election — ASC Topic 842 allows lessees an option to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases. A short-term lease is defined as a lease with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company elected to not recognize short-term leases as ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. All short-term leases which are not included on the Company’s balance sheet will be recognized within lease expense. Leases that have an initial term of 12 months or less with an option for renewal will need to be assessed in order to determine if the lease qualifies for the short-term lease exception. If the option is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease does not qualify as a short-term lease.

~~Table of Contents~~

•Lease vs non-lease components — The Company elected to combine future lease and non-lease components as a single component and the total consideration for the arrangements will be accounted for as a lease.

Operating cash flows for amounts included in the measurement of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were $1,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

~~NOTE 14 —~~ RELATED PARTIES

~~Amounts Due to Legacy Nerdy Holders~~

As of December 31, 2021, the Company reported amounts due to Legacy Nerdy LLC Holders of $841 in exchange for their Historical Nerdy LLC Equity as “Due to legacy Nerdy holders” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company paid the amounts due to Legacy Nerdy Holders during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and there was no liability reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

Tax Receivable Agreement

~~In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization,~~ Nerdy Inc. ~~entered into~~has a tax receivable agreement with certain Legacy Nerdy Holders (the “TRA Holder(s)”) (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by Nerdy Inc. to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that Nerdy Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) ~~in periods after the Reverse Recapitalization~~ as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the Reverse Recapitalization (including as a result of cash received in the Reverse Recapitalization and debt repayment occurring in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the Nerdy LLC operating agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Nerdy Inc. as a result of, and additional basis arising from, any payments Nerdy Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Nerdy Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings. If Nerdy Inc. elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, Nerdy Inc. would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by it to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement (based upon certain valuation assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement). If a change of control occurs, the Tax Receivable Agreement will remain in effect with respect to each TRA Holder (provided that certain valuation assumptions, including that there will be sufficient income to utilize all tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, will be utilized to determine the payments to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement), unless such TRA Holder elects (or the representative of the TRA Holders causes all of the TRA Holders to elect) to receive its early termination payment in connection with the change of control transaction. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company amended the Tax Receivable Agreement to, among other things, change the applicable rates used in the Tax Receivable Agreement from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The transition from LIBOR to SOFR did not have a material impact on the valuation of the Tax Receivable Agreement or the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, Nerdy Inc. has not recognized a liability of ~~$108,062~~$111,898 under the Tax Receivable Agreement after concluding it was not probable that such Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on its estimates of Nerdy’s LLC future taxable income. Nerdy Inc. did not make any payments to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within ~~earnings.~~the statement of operations.

NOTE 14 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Independent Contractor Classification Matter

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

In 2019, a Complaint was ~~terminated at~~filed in a Superior California Court against Varsity Tutors alleging that Varsity Tutors misclassified California tutors as independent contractors as opposed to employees in violation of the California Labor Code and seeking penalties and other remedies under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). In October 2023, Varsity Tutors agreed to a tentative settlement in this matter, which remains subject to Court approval (as required by PAGA). In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company expensed $1,250 and $1,700 related to this matter during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2022, Nerdy Inc. would recognize an additional deferred tax asset~~2023, respectively, which was included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of approximately $68,391 and an additional Tax Receivable Agreement liability of approximately $61,300, assuming (i) a price of $2.11 per share (the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as ofOperations. At September 30, ~~2022), (ii) a constant corporate tax rate of 24.6%, (iii) that Nerdy Inc. will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize~~2023, the ~~tax benefits, and (iv) no material changes~~Company accrued $2,000 for this matter, which was included in ~~relevant tax law.~~“Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

~~NOTE 15 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION~~

For the days prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, Nerdy LLC’s employees participated in the Nerdy 2016 U.S. Unit Appreciation Rights Plan, the 2016 Canadian Unit Appreciation Rights Plan, and the Varsity Tutors, LLC Incentive Unit Plan (collectively, the “Legacy Plans”). The Legacy Plans consisted of unit appreciation rights (“UARs”) and profit interest units (“PIUs”), which were exchanged for Nerdy Inc. equity awards and cash in connection with the Reverse Recapitalization. Nerdy LLC’s UARs were converted into stock appreciation rights of Nerdy Inc. (“SARs”) and Nerdy LLC’s PIUs were converted into either shares of Class B Common Stock, OpCo Units and cash, or restricted stock awards of Nerdy Inc. (“RSAs”). Holders of UARs received cash, SARs, or a combination of both. Holders of vested PIUs received a combination of shares of Class B Common Stock (and an equivalent number of OpCo Units in Nerdy LLC) and cash. Holders of unvested PIUs received RSAs with the underlying equity being Class B Common Stock (and an equivalent number of OpCo Units in Nerdy LLC).

In connection with the exchange discussed above, UARs held by current employees at the time of Reverse Recapitalization were modified and the Company recorded a step-up in the grant date fair value of the awards as of September 20, 2021, which was principally due to the difference between the UAR grant-date hurdle rates and the Company’s stock price as of the modification date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $32,066 related to the modification of the UARs, of which $2,457 and $29,609 was included in “Sales and marketing expenses” and “General and administrative expenses,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The PIUs were also modified in connection with the exchange discussed above; however, as the modification was classified as Type 1: Probable-to-probable, pursuant to ASC Topic 718, no modification expense was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

As a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company has issued and outstanding Warrants and Earnouts (see Note 1). Warrants and Earnouts issued to current employees as of September 20, 2021 (the “Employee Warrants” and the “Employee Earnouts,” respectively) were classified as stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718 as these Warrants and Earnouts were granted conditionally based upon employment. Former employees were not granted Warrants and Earnouts. The Company recorded the fair value of the Employee Warrants and Employee Earnouts as stock-based compensation expense of $408 and $2,763, respectively, on September 20, 2021 as there was no required service period after that date. Of the total Employee Warrant expense, $79 and $329 was included in “Sales and marketing expenses” and “General and administrative expenses,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total Employee Earnout expense, $46 and $2,717 was included in “Sales and marketing expenses” and “General and administrative expenses,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

~~NOTE 16 — REDEEMABLE PREFERRED UNITS OF NERDY LLC~~

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Nerdy LLC had historical Class B and Class C redeemable preferred units (respectively, the “Class B Units” and the “Class C Units”) issued and outstanding. In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization on September 20, 2021, the Class B Units and Class C Units were exchanged for cash, Class A Common Stock, or Class B Common Stock and OpCo Units. The following tablesummarizes the changes to Nerdy LLC’s historical Class B and Class C Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recast the historical Nerdy LLC redeemable preferred units outstanding for the periods presented, reflecting the exchange ratio of 1-for-0.64. The historical Nerdy LLC redeemable preferred units disclosed in this note give effect to the conversion for all periods presented, without any change to par value or per unit amounts. The Company has not made retroactive adjustments related to the historical book values of the historical Nerdy LLC redeemable preferred units as the adjustments were considered immaterial.

~~Lease Accounting~~

On January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” At adoption, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities37 thousand shares of ~~$4,154 thousand and $4,870 thousand, respectively, on~~our Common Stock, or less than 0.1%, in the ~~balance sheet~~amount of our Common Stock outstanding at ~~January 1, 2022. For additional information regarding~~ the ~~adoption~~closing of these ~~ASUs, refer to Notes 2 and 13 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this report.~~

~~Seasonality of Our Business~~

We have experienced in the past, and expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenues and earnings due to Learner and institutional spending and consumption habits and the timing of the academic year. Historically, we experience lower than normal revenues during the summer when schools and universities are typically out of session in the United States (the “U.S.”) and when people more often travel for vacations and holidays. Due to seasonality, comparisons of our historical quarterly results of operations on a sequential basis may not provide meaningful insight into our overall financial performance.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting closure of schools and testing centers created short-term challenges for our business. Many schools went to optional grading, and standardized and professional exams were suspended, which reduced demand for supplemental learning. We leaned into product evolution and completed our long-term transition to delivering live instruction 100% online in April 2020, a goal we had been working toward since first launching our online platform in 2014. We invested in our product capabilities to innovate our way through the short-term challenges, including bringing together what had been multiple disparate learning formats we were building into a single cohesive destination that allowed us to extend and strengthen the extent to which we can help Learners beyond what was capable solely in a one-on-one environment.

The education system in the U.S. is under tremendous stress, creating an environment with immense opportunity for transformation. While COVID-19 accelerated and amplified some of the acute challenges that existed before the pandemic, adding incremental headwinds in the process, it also created an environment where new solutions to these challenges are both welcome and actively being pursued. In addition, with recent advancements in technology, like the learning solutions that we offer, transforming the way people learn has never been more possible. We believe we are at the beginning of a long-term and durable shift in the way supplemental learning will be delivered - a shift that we believe will persist for years to come.

~~Inflation~~

Our financial results have been impacted by wage inflation and other inflationary pressures that have occurred in connection with (i) the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent economic sanctions. We continuously explore the best pricing of our services and will consider future pricing actions to offset these inflationary pressures.transactions.

KEY ~~FINANCIAL AND~~ OPERATING METRICS

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

During the second quarter of 2023, we completed the transition from our Package model to Learning Memberships within our Consumer business for all new customers. As a result of this transition, we are presenting Active Members (as defined below) as a key operating metric.

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

Consistent with our previously discussed expectations, Active Learner (as defined below) and Session (as defined below) growth rates decreased during the third quarter of 2022 and reflect our decisions to shift our go-to-market strategy and products to focus on higher value and longer duration Learning Membership customers. Both metrics were primarily affected by the shift to Learning Memberships (and the related inclusion of classes in our Learning Membership offering vs. selling academic and

Revenue

Revenue ~~for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $31,752 thousand, an increase of 1% from $31,298 thousand during the same period~~growth in ~~2021. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $120,863 thousand, an increase of 23% from $98,649 thousand during the same period in 2021. Revenue growth~~both current year periods was driven by ~~continued strength~~the completion of our evolution towards ‘always on’ recurring revenue products, strong adoption of Learning Memberships during the back-to-school season, and lifetime value expansion in our Consumer business ~~and~~coupled with the ~~addition~~continued scaling of our Institutional business.

During this year’s back-to-school season, we leaned into Learning Memberships as the primary option presented to consumers. Under our Learning Membership model, revenue is recognized on a linear basis over the term of the contract versus being front weighted (typically over the first three to six months) as is the case in our package model. This results in lower revenue recognition in the near-term for Learning Membership clients, as compared to package clients. While this evolution toward subscription offerings results in lower near-term revenue, the evolution toward an ‘always on’ Learning Membership model will allow us to better support Learners across multiple learning modalities, subjects, and time periods, and we expect that it will ultimately allow us to generate superior customer unit-economics, and drive superior levels of growth and profitability. This phenomenon was reflected in our revenue growth rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were below historical trends when we only sold the package model.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS

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

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

Table of Contents

We expect to remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of TPG ~~Pace’s~~Pace Tech Opportunities’ initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1,235,000 thousand, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of ~~Class A common stock and Class B~~ common stock that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30 or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1,000,000 thousand in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of June 30, 2022, we will remain an emerging growth company for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for our quarterly reports in the 2023 interim periods.

SMALLER REPORTING COMPANY STATUS

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We expect to remain a smaller reporting company at the last day of the fiscal year as long as (i) the market value of our shares of ~~Class A common stock and Class B~~ common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250,000 thousand as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100,000 thousand during the prior fiscal year and the market

~~Table of Contents~~

value of our shares of ~~Class A common stock and Class B~~ common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700,000 thousand as of the prior June 30. Based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of June 30, 2022, we will remain a smaller reporting company for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for our quarterly reports in the 2023 interim periods.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

~~Market Price Sensitivity~~

~~At both September 30, 2022~~Our Warrants and ~~December 31, 2021, we had warrant and earnout contracts~~Earnouts issued ~~and outstanding~~ to non-employees ~~of 19,122 thousand and 7,655 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,~~are no longer outstanding as a ~~hypothetical 10% adverse change in the price of our public warrants would have increased the fair value~~result of the ~~liabilities related~~Public and FPA Warrant Exchange, the Private Warrant Transaction, and the Earnout Transaction. As such, we are no longer exposed to ~~these warrant contracts by approximately $765 thousand~~significant market risk. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and $1,721 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the fair value of the earnouts, which is impacted by the price of our Class A common stock, would have increased the fair value of the liabilities related to these earnout contracts by approximately $925 thousand and $2,147 thousand, respectively.

interest rates are immaterial. For additional information regarding our ~~warrants~~the Public and ~~earnout contracts issued~~FPA Warrant Exchange, the Private Warrant Transaction, and ~~outstanding to non-employees,~~the Earnout Transaction, refer to ~~Notes 10~~“Overview” within Part I, Item 2 of this report and Note 1 within “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

~~Management, with~~Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as ~~amended)~~amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of ~~the end of the period covered by this report.~~September 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of ~~the end of the period covered by this report,~~September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not ~~effective as~~occur or that all control issues and instances of ~~September 30, 2022, because of~~fraud, if any, within the ~~material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.~~Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

~~As described in the “Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses and Current Status” section, there~~There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

~~Previously Identified Material Weaknesses~~

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We previously disclosed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 15, 2021, which became effective as of October 25, 2021, and amendments, including post-effective amendments, thereto and in our 2021 Annual Report the following material weaknesses, which still existed as of September 30, 2022. We did not design and maintain an effective control environment that meets accounting and reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not have a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of accounting knowledge and experience to appropriately analyze, record, and disclose accounting matters commensurate with our accounting and reporting requirements and lacked related internal controls necessary to satisfy our accounting and financial reporting requirements.

~~This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:~~

•We did not maintain effective controls over risk assessment, including designing and maintaining formal accounting and information technology (“IT”) policies, procedures, and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures, including segregation of duties controls, controls over the preparation and review of account reconciliations and journal entries, and controls over the review of assurance reports from third-party service organizations.

•We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls for financial systems to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel; and (iii) testing and

~~Table of Contents~~

~~approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.~~

The material weaknesses related to the control environment and risk assessment resulted in adjustments to accounts and disclosures, which were recorded prior to the issuance of the financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018. The IT deficiencies did not result in an adjustment to the financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, and in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

~~Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses and Current Status~~

In 2021, management developed a comprehensive remediation plan and began to design and implement controls to remediate the material weaknesses described above. These remediation efforts have been ongoing during 2022. The current status of our remediation efforts are as follows:

•We expanded our finance, accounting, and IT organizations by hiring additional resources including, among others, a Controller and Director of Tax with significant technical accounting and SEC reporting experience and a Director of Infrastructure and Security with oversight over internal controls within the IT organization. These individuals have significant internal controls experience and sufficient technical accounting knowledge and experience to appropriately analyze, record, and evaluate for disclosure, accounting matters that are commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements.

•~~We have implemented a dedicated internal audit function that independently monitors compliance with our policies procedures and internal controls.~~

•During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we (i) developed a risk assessment framework to identify and evaluate sources of potential risks to our financial statements; (ii) completed the design of an enhanced suite of internal controls over financial reporting addressing these potentials risks over key business processes including controls over segregation of duties, preparation and independent review of account reconciliations and journal entries, and review of third-party service organization assurance reports; and (iii) implemented a suite of formal accounting and IT policies and procedures and disseminated the policies and procedures through various communications and training.

•During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we completed the design and implementation of certain IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements including (i) program change management controls for financial systems to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel; and (iii) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.

We believe these measures will facilitate the remediation of the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, these material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We cannot provide an estimate of costs incurred in connection with finishing this remediation plan, however, these remediation measures have been and will continue to be time consuming, cause significant costs to be incurred, and place significant demands on our financial and operational resources.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) ~~and the risk factor set forth below,~~, you should carefully consider the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, ~~2022,~~2023, as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 (the ~~“2021~~“2022 Annual Report”). As of the date of the Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. However, these risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

~~If we are not successful in launching and/or scaling up our new Learning Membership model we could suffer losses and our results of operations may suffer.~~

We recently launched our Learning Membership model, which delivers a comprehensive learning solution that includes, among other things, access to one-on-one tutoring, unlimited live group classes, celebrity-taught live and on-demand lessons, adaptive assessments, and self-study modules. We have devoted significant resources and management time to launching our new membership program. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to grow the Learning Memberships business or that Learning Memberships will be profitable. If we are not successful, we may suffer losses based on the expenses and resources devoted to pursuing this new strategy and our results of operations may suffer.
