In our Marketplace segment, we primarily act as an intermediary between ticket buyers, sellers and partners within our online ticket marketplace, while enabling ticket sellers and partners to seamlessly manage their operations. In our Resale segment, we primarily acquire tickets to resell on secondary ticket marketplaces, including our own. We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for comprehensive annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024 (our “2023 Form 10-K”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. New Accounting Standards Issued Accounting Standards Adopted Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as if it had originated the contracts. Under the previous guidance, such assets and liabilities were recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU allows for immediate adoption on a retrospective basis for all business combinations that have occurred since the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. We elected to adopt these requirements in the fourth quarter of 2023, with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on our future condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes In December 2023 , the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures, on our future condensed consolidated financial statements. Stock Compensation In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments are intended to improve the clarity of paragraph 718-10-15-3 and its application to profits interest or similar awards, primarily through the addition of an illustrative example. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on our future condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	3. Business Acquisitions Vegas.com Acquisition On November 3, 2023 , we acquired VDC Holdco, LLC, the parent company of Vegas.com, LLC (together, “Vegas.com”), an online ticket marketplace headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada . The purchase price was $ 248.3 million, comprising $ 152.8 million in cash and approximately 15.6 million shares of our Class A common stock. We financed the cash portion of the purchase price at closing with cash on hand. The purchase consideration allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the valuations of certain intangible assets and acquired income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the one-year measurement period. There were no changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Wavedash Acquisition On September 8, 2023 , we acquired WD Holdings Co., Ltd., the parent company of Wavedash Co., Ltd. (together, “Wavedash”) , an online ticket marketplace headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The purchase price was JPY 10,946.1 million, or approximately $ 74.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date, before considering the net effect of cash acquired. We financed the purchase price at closing with cash on hand. The purchase consideration allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the valuations of certain intangible assets and acquired income tax assets and liabilities. Acquired assets and liability amounts are also still being finalized. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the one-year measurement perio d. There were no changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Investments [Abstract]
Investments	9. Investments In July 2023, we invested $ 6.0 million in a privately held company in the form of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,874,933 shares of the company’s stock (the “Warrant”). Interest on the Note accrues at 8 % per annum and outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable at the earlier of July 3, 2030 or a change in control of the company. The Warrant is exercisable until the date three years after the Note is repaid, subject to certain accelerating events. We account for the Note in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The Note is classified as an available-for-sale security and is recorded at fair value with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until realized. The Note’s unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $ 0.1 million . The Note’s amortized cost was $ 2.8 million and $ 2.7 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We did not recognize any credit losses related to the Note during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We account for the Warrant in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , pursuant to which we record the derivative instrument on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a recurring basis. The classification of the derivative instrument, including whether it should be recorded as an asset or a liability, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements We account for financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows: Level 1 - Measurements that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Measurements that include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. These fair value measurements require significant judgment. Financial instruments recorded at fair value on recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total March 31, 2024 Note $ — $ — $ 3,102 $ 3,102 Warrant — — 4,088 4,088 $ — $ — $ 7,190 $ 7,190 Fair Value Measurements Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2023 Note $ — $ — $ 2,868 $ 2,868 Warrant — — 4,125 4,125 $ — $ — $ 6,993 $ 6,993 The fair value of the Note is determined using the income approach, utilizing Level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Warrant is determined using the Black-Scholes model, which requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs applied to these Level 3 fair value measurements: Assets Significant March 31, December 31, Note Expected terms (years) 6.3 6.5 Implied Yield 21.1 % 21.7 % Warrant Expected terms (years) 6.3 6.5 Estimated volatility 55.0 % 56.0 % Risk-free rate 4.2 % 3.9 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % The following table provides a reconciliation of the financial instruments measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (in thousands): Note Warrant Balance at January 1, 2024 $ 2,868 $ 4,125 Accretion of discount 22 — Interest paid-in-kind 120 — Total unrealized gains or losses: Recognized in earnings — ( 37 ) Recognized in Other comprehensive income 92 — Balance at March 31, 2024 $ 3,102 $ 4,088 Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature.

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities	11. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 Accrued marketing expense $ 35,383 $ 39,210 Accrued customer credits 62,941 64,318 Accrued future customer compensation 31,426 33,010 Accrued payroll 6,493 17,381 Accrued operating expenses 20,307 20,828 Other current liabilities 24,657 16,895 Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 181,207 $ 191,642 Accrued customer credits represent credits issued and outstanding for cancellations or other service issues related to recorded sales transactions. The accrued amount is reduced by the amount of credits estimated to go unused, or breakage, provided that the credits are not subject to escheatment. We estimate breakage based on historical usage trends and available data on comparable programs, and we recognize breakage in proportion to the pattern of redemption for customer credits. Our breakage estimates could be impacted by future activity differing from our estimates, the effects of which could be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $ 1.5 million of accrued customer credits were redeemed and we recognized $ 2.1 million of revenue from breakage. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $ 2.6 million of accrued customer credits were redeemed and we recognized $ 4.6 million of revenue from breakage. Breakage amounts are net of reductions in associated accounts receivable balances. Accrued future customer compensation represents an estimate of the amount of customer compensation due from cancellation charges in the future. These provisions, which are based on historic experience, revenue volumes for future events and management’s estimate of the likelihood of future cancellations, are recognized as a component of Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The expected recoveries of these obligations are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This estimated accrual could be impacted by future activity differing from our estimates, the effects of which could be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a net decrease in revenue of $ 0.1 million and $ 0.8 million , respectively, from the reversals of previously recorded revenue and changes to accrued future customer compensation related to cancellations where the performance obligations were satisfied in prior periods. Other current liabilities primarily increased as a result of accrued, but not paid, tax distributions, and accrued TRA liability that is expected to be paid in the next 12 months.

The June 2017 First Lien Loan was amended to upsize the committed amount by $ 115.0 million on July 2, 2018. On October 28, 2019 , we paid off the June 2017 Second Lien Loan balance. The revolving credit facility component of the first lien debt facility was retired on May 22, 2020. On October 18, 2021, we made an early principal payment related to the June 2017 First Lien Loan of $ 148.2 million in connection with, and using the proceeds from, the merger transaction with Horizon Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger Transaction”) and a related private investment in public equity . On February 3, 2022, we repaid the outstanding balance of $ 190.7 million from the June 2017 First Lien Loan and refinanced the remaining balance with a new $ 275.0 million term loan. February 2022 First Lien Loan On February 3, 2022, we entered into an amendment which refinanced the remaining balance of the June 2017 First Lien Loan with a new $ 275.0 million term loan (the “February 2022 First Lien Loan”), which has a maturity date of February 3, 2029 , and added a new $ 100.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a maturity date of February 3, 2027. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. The terms of the February 2022 First Lien Loan specify a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”)-based floating interest rate and contain a springing financial covenant that requires compliance with a first lien net leverage ratio when revolver borrowings exceed certain levels. All obligations under the February 2022 First Lien Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Hoya Intermediate and substantially all of Hoya Intermediate’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The February 2022 First Lien Loan requires quarterly amortization payments of $ 0.7 million. The Revolving Facility does not require periodic payments. All obligations under the February 2022 First Lien Loan are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by first-priority perfected security interests in substantially all of our assets. The February 2022 First Lien Loan carries an interest rate of SOFR (subject to a 0.5 % floor) plus 3.25 %. The effective interest rate on the February 2022 First Lien Loan was 8.98 % and 9.05 % per annum at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The February 2022 First Lien Loan is held by third-party financial institutions and is carried at the outstanding principal balance, less debt issuance costs and any unamortized discount or premium. The fair value was estimated using quoted prices that are directly observable in the marketplace. Therefore, the fair value is estimated on a Level 2 basis. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the February 2022 First Lien Loan approximated the carrying value. We are subject to certain reporting and compliance-related covenants to remain in good standing under the February 2022 First Lien Loan. These covenants, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and, in certain circumstances, to enter into transactions with affiliates, create liens, merge or consolidate and make certain payments. Non-compliance with these covenants and failure to remedy could result in the acceleration of the loans or foreclosure on the collateral. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants related to the February 2022 First Lien Loan. Shoko Chukin Bank Loan In connection with our acquisition of Wavedash, we assumed long-term debt owed to Shoko Chukin Bank (the “Shoko Chukin Bank Loan” ) of JPY 458.3 million (approximately $ 3.1 million), which has a maturity date of June 24, 2026 and is subject to a fixed interest rate of 1.27 % per annum. Because the fair value was estimated using quoted prices that are directly observable in the marketplace, it is estimated on a Level 2 basis. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Shoko Chukin Bank Loan approximated the carrying value.

Commitments and Contingencies Litigation From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, could have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations other than those matters discussed herein. We were a co-defendant in a class action lawsuit in Canada alleging a failure to disclose service fees prior to checkout. A final order approving the settlement of this lawsuit was entered by the court in August 2020. In January 2022, we issued coupons to certain members of the class. Other members of the class were notified in 2022 that they are eligible to submit a claim for a coupon. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a liability o f $ 0.9 million was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to expected claim submissions and credit redemptions as of the measurement date. We have been a defendant in multiple class action lawsuits related to customer compensation for cancellations, primarily as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. A final order approving the settlement of one such lawsuit was entered by the court in November 2021 , pursuant to which we paid $ 4.5 million (after insurance) to fund a claims settlement pool in 2021 that was fully disbursed in 2022. A final order approving the settlement of another such lawsuit was entered by the court on January 31, 2023, pursuant to which we paid $ 3.3 million (after insurance) to cover legal and administrative fees and approved claims (payments for which were made in August 2023). We had no accrued liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 related to these matters. We are a defendant in a lawsuit related to an alleged violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act. We deny these allegations and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. Based on the information currently available, we are unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible losses and no litigation reserve has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to this matter. Other In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., which overturned previous case law that had precluded state and local governments from imposing sales tax collection requirements on retailers without a physical presence. In response, most jurisdictions have adopted laws that attempt to impose tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies, and we have registered and begun collecting tax where required by statute. It is reasonably possible that state or local governments will continue to adopt or interpret laws such that we are required to calculate, collect and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. A successful assertion by one or more jurisdictions could result in material tax liabilities, including uncollected taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest. Based on our analysis of certain state and local regulations, specifically related to marketplace facilitators and ticket sales, we have recorded liabilities in all jurisdictions where we believe a risk of loss is probable. We continuously monitor state and local regulations and will implement required collection and remittance procedures if and when we are subject to such regulations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had recorded a liability o f $ 0.4 million and $ 3.2 million, resp ectively, related to uncollected local admissions taxes. This liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received an abatement related to uncollected amounts, which resulted in a reduction of the liability and a reduction in General and administrative expenses of $ 2.7 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	17. Income Taxes For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $ 2.3 million income tax expense in continuing operations. The effective income tax rate differs from the 21 % U.S. federal statutory rate due to a non-controlling interest adjustment for VSI ’s allocable share of Hoya Intermediate’ s income and state taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a $ 0.3 million income tax expense in continuing operations. Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21 % U.S. federal statutory rate due to a non-controlling interest adjustment for VSI’s allocable share of Hoya Intermediate’s income, partial release of valuation allowances due to year to date earnings, and state taxes. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our deferred tax assets were primarily the result of our investment in partnership, tax receivable agreement, net operating losses, interest limitations and tax credit carryforwards. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2023, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. net operating losses, interest limitations and tax credit carryforwards, which was released in the second quarter of 2023. Certain tax attributes remain subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a result of the historical acquisitions. We maintain a partial valuation allowance on our investments in partnership related to the portion of the basis difference that we do not expect to realize on a more likely than not basis. Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with the Merger Transaction, we entered into the TRA with the existing Hoya Intermediate shareholders that provides for our payment to such shareholders of 85 % of the amount of the tax savings, if any, that we realize (or, under certain circumstances, are deemed to realize) as a result of, or attributable to, (i) increases in the tax basis of assets owned directly or indirectly by Hoya Intermediate or its subsidiaries from, among other things, any redemptions or exchanges of Intermediate Units, (ii) existing tax basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions arising from such tax basis) in long-lived assets owned directly or indirectly by Hoya Intermediate and its subsidiaries and (iii) certain other tax benefits (including deductions in respect of imputed interest) related to us making payments under the TRA. Amounts payable under the TRA are contingent upon the generation of future taxable income over the term of the TRA and future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the TRA to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related payments. As of March 31, 2024, we estimate that the tax savings associated with all tax attributes described above would require us to pay $ 165.7 million, primarily over the next 15 years. As of March 31, 2024, $ 5.5 million is due within the next 12 months.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity-Based Compensation	18. Equity-Based Compensation Our 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2021 Plan”), was approved and adopted in order to facilitate the grant of equity incentive awards to our employees, directors and consultants. The 2021 Plan became effective on October 18, 2021 upon consummation of the Merger Transaction, and the First Amendment to the 2021 Plan became effective on February 5, 2024. Restricted Stock Units Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) are awards denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock. The value of each RSU is equal to the fair value of our Class A common stock on the grant date. Each RSU converts into shares of our Class A Common stock upon vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 8.1 million RSUs to certain employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 5.34 per share. In March 2023, we granted 2.5 million RSUs to certain employees at a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 7.17 per share. RSUs granted to employees vest over three years, with one-third vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining portion vesting on a quarterly basis thereafter, subject to the employee’s continued employment through each vesting date. A summary of activity for RSUs is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Unvested at December 31, 2023 3,866 $ 8.35 Granted 8,126 5.34 Forfeited ( 59 ) 7.79 Vested ( 962 ) 7.88 Unvested at March 31, 2024 10,971 $ 6.16 Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Unvested at December 31, 2022 2,551 $ 10.99 Granted 2,495 7.17 Forfeited ( 30 ) 9.84 Vested ( 492 ) 10.59 Unvested at March 31, 2023 4,524 $ 8.93 Stock Options Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of our Class A common stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. On March 10, 2023, we granted 3.6 million stock options to certain employees with an exercise price of $ 7.17 per share and a grant date fair value of $ 3.30 per option. The stock options vest over three years , with one-third vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining portion vesting on a quarterly basis thereafter, subject to the employee’s continued employment through each vesting date. The stock options have a contractual term of ten years from the grant date. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the stock options granted on March 10, 2023: Volatility 42.0 % Expected term (years) 5.9 Risk-free rate 3.9 % Dividend yield 0.0 % A summary of activity for stock options is as follows (in thousands, except per option data): Outstanding Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2023 8,807 $ 8.02 9 $ — Options granted — — Options exercised — — Options forfeited — — Options expired — — Outstanding at March 31, 2024 8,807 $ 8.02 9 $ — Outstanding Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Option Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2022 6,125 $ 12.09 9 $ — Options granted 3,603 7.17 Options exercised — — Options forfeited — — Options expired ( 29 ) — Outstanding at March 31, 2023 9,699 $ 10.26 9 $ — Compensation Expense For the three months ended March 31, 2024, equity-based compensation expense related to RSUs was $ 5.5 million compared to $ 2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense relating to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $ 70.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years . For the three months ended March 31, 2024, equity-based compensation expense related to stock options was $ 2.9 million compared to $ 1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense relating to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2024 was $ 17.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years . For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, equity-based compensation expense related to profits interests was $ 0.2 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2024 related to these profits interests was $ 0.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years . For the three months ended March 31, 2024, equity-based compensation expense excludes $ 0.2 million related to capitalized development costs.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	19. Earnings Per Share We calculate basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share . Because our Class B common stock does not have economic rights in VSI, it is not considered a participating security for basic and diluted income per share, and we do not present basic and diluted income per share of Class B common stock. However, holders of our Class B common stock are allocated income in Hoya Intermediate (our operating entity) according to their weighted average percentage ownership of Intermediate Units during each quarter. Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is calculated by multiplying Hoya Intermediate’s net income in each quarterly period by Hoya Topco’s weighted average percentage ownership of Intermediate Units during the period. Hoya Topco has the right to exchange its Intermediate Units for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-to-one basis or cash proceeds of equal value at the time of redemption. The option to redeem Intermediate Units for cash proceeds must be approved by our Board, which as of March 31, 2024 consisted of a majority of directors nominated by affiliates of Hoya Topco and GTCR, LLC pursuant to our stockholders’ agreement. The ability to put Intermediate Units is solely within the control of the holder of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. If Hoya Topco 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 our Class A common stock and is subject to our Board’s approval. The following table provides the net income attributable to Hoya Topco’s redeemable noncontrolling interest (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Net income—Hoya Intermediate $ 12,870 $ 30,272 Hoya Topco’s weighted average % allocation of Hoya Intermediate's net income 36.2 % 59.8 % Net income attributable to Hoya Topco's redeemable noncontrolling interests $ 4,665 $ 18,090 Net income attributable to Class A common stockholders–basic is calculated by subtracting the portion of Hoya Intermediate’s net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests from our total net income, which includes our net income for activities outside of our investment in Hoya Intermediate, including income tax expense for VSI’s portion of income, as well as the full results of Hoya Intermediate on a consolidated basis. Net income per Class A common stock–diluted is based on the average number of shares of our Class A common stock used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the weighted average number of Class A common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods, as applicable. Net income attributable to Class A common stockholders–diluted is adjusted for (i) our share of Hoya Intermediate’s consolidated net income after giving effect to Intermediate Units that convert into potential shares of our Class A common stock, to the extent it is dilutive, and (ii) the impact of changes in the fair value of Hoya Intermediate Warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock for the periods in which shares of our Class A and Class B common stock were outstanding (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Numerator—basic: Net income $ 10,742 $ 30,272 Less: Income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests 4,665 18,090 Net income attributable to Class A Common Stockholders—basic 6,077 12,182 Denominator—basic: Weighted average Class A common stock outstanding—basic 134,068,276 77,410,820 Net income per Class A common stock—basic $ 0.05 $ 0.16 Numerator—diluted: Net income attributable to Class A Common Stockholders—basic $ 6,077 $ 12,182 Net income effect of dilutive securities: Effect of dilutive Noncontrolling Interest 3,248 16,849 Effect of RSUs 4 20 Net income attributable to Class A Common Stockholders—diluted 9,329 29,051 Denominator—diluted: Weighted average Class A common stock outstanding—basic 134,068,276 77,410,820 Weighted average effect of dilutive securities: Effect of dilutive Noncontrolling Interest 76,225,000 118,200,000 Effect of RSUs 616,585 213,162 Weighted average Class A common stock outstanding—diluted 210,909,861 195,823,982 Net income per Class A common stock—diluted $ 0.04 $ 0.15 Potential shares of our Class A common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of Class A common stock if their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented or if the issuance of shares is contingent upon events that did not occur by the end of the period. The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of Class A common stock for the periods presented that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 RSUs 3,830,006 991,301 Stock options 8,807,848 9,698,759 Public Warrants and Private Warrants 13,286,644 13,286,644 Exercise Warrants 34,000,000 34,000,000 Hoya Intermediate Warrants 4,000,000 6,000,000

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Issued Accounting Standards Adopted	Issued Accounting Standards Adopted Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as if it had originated the contracts. Under the previous guidance, such assets and liabilities were recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU allows for immediate adoption on a retrospective basis for all business combinations that have occurred since the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. We elected to adopt these requirements in the fourth quarter of 2023, with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on our future condensed consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes In December 2023 , the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures, on our future condensed consolidated financial statements. Stock Compensation In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The amendments are intended to improve the clarity of paragraph 718-10-15-3 and its application to profits interest or similar awards, primarily through the addition of an illustrative example. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on our future condensed consolidated financial statements.
