FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” "strive," “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms but the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements may include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, client demand, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, competitive position, our industry, macroeconomic and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits hereto, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include:

•our previously announced acquisition by an affiliate of funds advised by Apax Partners LLP (“Apax” and such funds, the “Apax Funds”), including the likelihood of the satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the transaction, and whether and when the transaction will be consummated;

•the risk of unanticipated costs, liabilities or delays relating to the proposed transaction with Apax Funds;

•economic conditions have resulted in, and may continue to result in, client delays, reductions or cancellations and a decrease in pricing, making it more difficult to forecast client demand and effectively build a pipeline;

•we have, and may continue to, offer significant discounts for our services, which has, and may continue to, put pressure on our margins;

•we face risks associated with having a long selling and implementation cycle for our services that require us to make significant resource commitments prior to realizing revenues for those services;

•if we are required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, our financial condition and results would be negatively affected;

•our business has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by volatile or uncertain operational, geopolitical, regulatory, legal and economic conditions;

•we may be unable to implement our strategy;

•we may not be successful at attracting new clients or retaining and expanding our relationships with our existing clients;

•our ability to generate and retain business depends on our reputation in the marketplace;

•if we fail to adequately innovate, adapt and/or remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related client demands, we could be materially adversely affected;

•we may not be successful in our emerging technology initiatives, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results;

•if we fail to manage our acquisition strategy, our culture and growth plans could be materially adversely affected;

•our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

•our cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to collect on billed and unbilled receivables from clients;

•our effective tax rate could be materially adversely affected by several factors;

•we must successfully attract, hire, train and retain skilled professionals to service our clients’ projects and we must productively deploy our professionals to remain profitable;

•increases in wages, equity compensation and other compensation expenses could prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and increase our costs;

3

•our business and operations may be harmed if we cannot positively evolve and preserve our Thoughtworks culture;

•we face intense competition and operate in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects;

•our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospect;

•if we cause disruptions to our clients’ businesses, provide inadequate service, or breach contractual obligations, our clients may have claims against us, which our insurance may not adequately protect against, and our reputation may be damaged;

•we face risks associated with security breaches as well as privacy and data protection regulations, and we may incur significant liabilities if we fail to manage those risks;

•a significant failure in our systems, telecommunications or IT infrastructure could harm our service model, which could result in a reduction of our revenues and otherwise disrupt our business;

•changes in privacy and data protection regulations could expose us to risks of noncompliance and costs associated with compliance;

•we are subject to laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate, compliance with these laws requires significant resources and non-compliance may result in civil or criminal penalties and other remedial measures;

•we may become subject to disputes or legal or other proceedings that could involve significant expenditures by us, which could have a material adverse effect on us, including our financial results;

•our environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and disclosures may expose us to reputational risks and legal liability;

•we may face intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims that could be costly to defend or if we do not protect our brand through our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed;

•we may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of our client's intellectual property and our business and competitive position may be damaged as a result;

•our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline;

•our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans, or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders;

•if securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, the market price and trading volume of our common stock could decline;

•we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future and, as a result, the ability of the holders of our common stock to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock;

•Apax Funds advised by Apax control us, and such control may give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interests;

•our status as a “controlled company” grants us exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements;

•as a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock;

•we may fail to comply with the rules that apply to public companies, which could result in sanctions or other penalties;

•provisions of our corporate governance documents could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our shareholders;

•provisions of our certificate of incorporation could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us;

•a significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market, which could cause the market price of common stock to drop; and

•other factors disclosed in the subsection entitled “Risk Factor Summary" and the section entitled "Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2024 (the "2023 Annual Report") and the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that

4

it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, include, but are not limited to, those disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report and in our 2023 Annual Report. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

THOUGHTWORKS HOLDING, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) develops, implements, and services complex enterprise application software, and provides business technology consulting. The Company conducts business in 19 countries. Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. is the ultimate parent holding company of Thoughtworks, Inc. among other subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2024 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on results of operations previously reported.

Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowance for credit losses, valuation and impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, income taxes, accrued bonus, contingencies, stock-based compensation and litigation costs. The Company bases its estimates on current expectations and historical experience and on other assumptions that its management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities when those values are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results can differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements in the future. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire year. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

As a result of changes in the business, the Company re-evaluated the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets and determined the estimated useful life for computer equipment should be updated from three years to four years, effective January 1, 2024. The change in estimate is accounted for prospectively and resulted in an immaterial decrease to depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Further, we expect an immaterial decrease to depreciation and amortization expense related to the change in estimated useful life for the full year.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use. The Company has restricted cash held on deposit at various financial institutions. The amounts are held to secure bank guarantees of amounts related to government requirements and as collateral for a corporate credit card.

Activity related to the Company’s allowance for credit losses is as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Allowance for credit losses, beginning balance	$	(9,550)
Current period provision	(2,237)
Write-offs charged against allowance	1,602

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public business entities to provide annual disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU applies on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Revenue generated from the Company's operations outside of the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 67.8% and 65.6%, respectively, and 67.6% and 65.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 70.1% and 74.8%, respectively, of trade receivables and unbilled receivables was due from customers located outside the United States. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had net property and equipment of $18.6 million and $18.7 million, respectively, outside the United States.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition

The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by geographic customer location, industry vertical and revenue contract types. Geographic customer location is pertinent to understanding the Company's revenues, as the Company generates its revenues from providing professional services to customers in various regions across the world. The Company groups customers into one of five industry verticals. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of pricing structure for customer contracts, which is predominantly time-and-materials but also includes fixed price contracts.

11

During the first quarter of 2024, in connection with the Reorganization (as defined below), the Company updated the disaggregation of revenue by customer location to reflect the geographical market based on contracting location, consistent with client ownership within our geographical markets, versus billing location, as previously reported. All corresponding disclosures and historical amounts, including revenue by country noted below, have been recast to reflect the change.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The following table presents the disaggregation of the Company’s revenues by customer location (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
North America (1)	$	88,255	$	107,570	$	177,055	$	222,630

Total revenues	$	251,671	$	287,215	$	500,264	$	594,271

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the United States represented 32.2%, or $81.0 million, and 34.4%, or $98.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the United States represented 32.4%, or $162.3 million, and 34.4%, or $204.6 million, of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. Canadian operations were determined to be immaterial given revenue as a percentage of total North America revenues was less than 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

(2)For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Australia represented 12.5%, or $31.4 million, and 11.1%, or $31.8 million, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Australia represented 12.3%, or $61.4 million, and 10.8%, or $64.3 million, respectively, of the Company's total revenues.

(3)For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Germany represented 13.2%, or $33.3 million, and 11.5%, or $33.1 million, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Germany represented 13.1%, or $65.6 million, and 11.6%, or $68.7 million, respectively, of the Company's total revenues.

Other foreign countries were determined to be immaterial given the revenues as a percentage of the Company’s total revenues was less than 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The following table presents the disaggregation of the Company’s revenues by industry vertical (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Technology and business services	$	64,120	$	69,695	$	129,489	$	143,828

Total revenues	$	251,671	$	287,215	$	500,264	$	594,271

Contract Balances

The following table is a summary of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2024		As of December 31, 2023
Contract assets included in unbilled receivables	$	34,790	$	29,981
Contract liabilities included in deferred revenue	$	12,714	$	18,090

Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts, where the right to consideration is conditional on the satisfaction of performance obligations that are measured based on hours incurred and the end deliverable to the customer. Contract assets are recorded when services have been provided but the Company does not have an unconditional right to receive consideration. Professional services performed on or prior to the balance sheet date, but invoiced thereafter, are reflected in unbilled receivables.

Contract liabilities represent amounts collected from the Company’s customers for revenues not yet earned. Such amounts are anticipated to be recorded as revenues when services are performed in subsequent periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of revenues that were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $14.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of revenues that were included in contract liabilities at the prior year end.

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

The Company incurs certain incremental costs to obtain a contract that the Company expects to recover. The Company applies a practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining contracts where the contract term is greater than one year. These costs would primarily relate to commissions paid to our account executives and are included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for contracts one year or less and other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for contracts greater than one year.

13

The following table is a summary of the Company’s costs to obtain contracts and related amortization and impairment where the amortization period of the assets is greater than one year (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	1,306	$	1,391	$	876	$	1,588
Costs to obtain contracts capitalized	421		281		1,054		349
Amortization of capitalized costs	(202)		(859)		(400)		(1,127)
Changes due to exchange rates	(2)		12		(7)		15
Balance at end of period	$	1,523	$	825	$	1,523	$	825

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company had remaining performance obligations of approximately $10.4 million as of June 30, 2024. Our remaining performance obligations represent the amount of transaction price for which work has not been performed and revenue has not been recognized. The Company has applied the optional exemption for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We expect to recognize our remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2024 as revenue over the next 12 to 24 months.

Note 3 – Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, treating the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period to calculate its interim income tax provision, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes-Interim Reporting. The Company concluded it could not use the estimated annual effective tax rate method as it could not calculate a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate due to the impact of permanent differences on the Company's forecasted loss before income taxes, causing the tax rate to be highly sensitive whereby minor changes in the forecasted amounts generate significant variability in the estimated annual effective tax rate, thus distorting the customary relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax income in interim periods.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was (4.7)% and (60.0)%, respectively, and (2.5)% and (142.1)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate in each period differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to U.S. corporate state income taxation and the effect of foreign operations, which reflects the impact of higher income tax rates in locations outside the United States, the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of select foreign and US operations, the unfavorable impact of providing for unrecognized tax benefits, the unfavorable impact of capitalized research and experimental costs under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") §174 increasing the Company's net global intangible low tax income ("GILTI") inclusion, the non-deductibility of China SAFE restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and the unfavorable impact of excess tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior periods, and the negative effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, is a result of the aforementioned net unfavorable items when compared to the pre-tax loss recorded for the respective periods.

Note 6 – Credit Agreements

Our subsidiaries are party to an amended and restated credit agreement, dated May 18, 2023 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among Thoughtworks, Inc., Turing Acquisition LLC and Turing Midco LLC, Turing Topco LLC (“Holdings”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, the lenders party thereto and the other parties from time-to-time party thereto, which provides for a senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan") of $715.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") of $300.0 million.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus either (a) a base rate or (b) the SOFR rate, at the Company's option, subject to interest rate floors.

Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus either (a) a base rate or (b) the SOFR rate at the Company's option. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolver, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder and customary letter of credit fees.

The fair value of the Term Loan was $294.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Note 7 – Restructuring Actions

On August 8, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved and committed to a structural reorganization (the "Reorganization") on August 7, 2023 that will (i) move its operational functions from a geographic to a centralized model, (ii) create a new organizational home for the majority of its client facing workforce, our Digital Engineering Center, and (iii) evolve its regional market structure.

As the Company has been implementing the Reorganization, additional opportunities have been identified to drive further cost savings. On May 1, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase to its Reorganization plan to capture additional savings of $25 million to $30 million, with expected additional pre-tax cash charges of $6.5 million to $8.0 million.

On August 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a second increase to its Reorganization plan to capture additional savings of $85 million to $95 million, for a total Reorganization savings of $185 million to $210 million. Thoughtworks expects to incur additional pre-tax cash charges of approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million, for total expected pre-tax charges of approximately $56.5 million to $68.0 million (the “Updated 2024 Total Charges”). The Updated 2024 Total Charges include $51.0 million to $59.0 million in wage-related expenses, such as employee severance and related benefits, and $5.5 million to $9.0 million in non-wage related expenses, including costs related to reducing leased office space, vendor contract cancellations and professional fees. We now expect the Reorganization to be completed by October 31, 2024.

(1)Revenue Growth Rate as reported is calculated by comparing to the prior year's corresponding period. Certain of our subsidiaries use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the translation of these foreign currency amounts into the U.S. dollar can impact the comparability of our revenues between periods. Accordingly, we use Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency as an important indicator of our underlying performance. Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency is a Non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the earlier comparative fiscal period to the later fiscal period.

(2)We use Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as an important indicator of our performance. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a definition of and reconciliation of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, how we use this measure and an explanation of why we consider this non-GAAP measure to be helpful for investors.

(3)We also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as important indicators of our performance. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a definition of and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, how we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and an explanation of why we consider these non-GAAP measures to be helpful for investors.

Revenue Growth Rate and Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues decreased 12.4% and 15.8%, respectively. The decrease in revenue was due to a more cautionary macroeconomic environment compared to the prior year, particularly in the IT services market, combined with incremental project start ups, shorter contract terms, client budget caution and lower headcount. The decrease was also attributable to lower bill rates driven by a larger percentage of work performed offshore. Had our consolidated revenues been expressed in constant currency terms using the exchange rates in effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we would have reported a decrease in revenues of 11.3% and 15.2%, respectively. The negative impact to revenues from foreign currencies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, relative to certain principal functional currencies of our subsidiaries.

For more detail regarding our exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations, see Note 2, Revenue Recognition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Net Loss, Net Loss Margin and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the $24.2 million increase in net loss as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by a $35.5 million decrease in revenue, as discussed above, an

21

increase in restructuring expense of $7.2 million and a $5.9 million increase in net realized and unrealized foreign currency loss, partially offset by a decrease in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $11.3 million resulting from a lower headcount, a $7.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition) and a $3.0 million decrease in income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the 10.2 percentage point increase in net loss margin as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the factors driving a decrease in revenue, as discussed above, paired with payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation), restructuring expense and net realized and unrealized foreign currency loss, partially offset by stock-based compensation, as a percentage of revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the $47.0 million increase in net loss as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by a $94.0 million decrease in revenue, as discussed above, a $17.5 million increase in net realized and unrealized foreign currency loss and an increase in restructuring expense of $9.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $38.7 million resulting from a lower headcount, a $14.7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition), a $10.3 million decrease in income tax expense, a $4.1 million decrease in professional fees and a $3.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense (the majority of which is related to depreciation included in cost of revenues). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the 10.1 percentage point increase in net loss margin as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the factors driving a decrease in revenue, as discussed above, paired with payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation), net realized and unrealized foreign currency loss and restructuring expense, partially offset by stock-based compensation, as a percentage of revenues.

For more information, see “—Results of Operations.” We consider net loss margin as the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in Adjusted Net Income as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $18.6 million, or 184.2%, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue of $35.5 million, as discussed above, partially offset by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $11.1 million, income tax expense (adjusted to exclude the income tax effect of adjustments) of $3.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million (the majority of which is related to depreciation included in cost of revenues).

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in Adjusted Net Income as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $36.1 million, or 179.1%, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue of $94.0 million, as discussed above, partially offset by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $38.5 million, income tax expense (adjusted to exclude the income tax effect of adjustments) of $10.9 million, professional fees of $4.6 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.0 million (the majority of which is related to depreciation included in cost of revenues).

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $23.6 million, or 80.5%, was driven by a $35.5 million decrease in revenue, as discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $11.1 million resulting from a lower headcount.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $51.7 million, or 80.5%, was driven by a $94.0 million decrease in revenue, as discussed above, partially offset by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $38.5 million resulting from a lower headcount and professional fees of $4.6 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA Margin as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue, as discussed above, paired with payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation), as a percentage of revenues.

Summary Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 with the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Revenues

We have a global footprint with the ability to deliver services from multiple geographic regions. While we continue to derive a substantial part of our overall revenues from existing clients, we maintain relatively low client concentration among our largest clients. We remain focused on acquiring new clients through programs designed to generate new business demand and position us as a trusted partner, and we have dedicated new business teams working with marketing using data-driven approaches to focus on client acquisition efforts.

23

The following table presents our number of clients, number of clients generating greater than $10 million in revenues and net dollar retention rate:

	Trailing twelve months ended
	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023
Number of clients (1)	502	452
Number of clients generating greater than $10 million in revenues	27	35
Net dollar retention rate (2)	85%	100%

(1)We define clients as those with spend in excess of $25,000 within the preceding twelve months.

(2)The net dollar retention rate is calculated by dividing (a) the current period revenue from existing clients by (b) the prior comparative period revenue from the same existing clients. We utilize the net dollar retention rate to measure revenue growth from our clients. Net dollar retention rate provides visibility into the risks associated with our revenues and expected growth, and it measures our ability to continually offer and deliver innovative services to our clients. We use this metric to appropriately manage resources and client retention and growth, such as account management and capability development of our account leadership teams. The decrease was due to the revenue drivers as discussed above.

The following table presents the percentage of revenues from new and existing clients:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,		Trailing Twelve Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	2024	2023	2024	2023
Existing clients (1)	93.6%	94.2%	95.9%	95.8%	93.5%	91.8%
New clients	6.4%	5.8%	4.1%	4.2%	6.5%	8.2%

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we define existing clients as clients for whom we have done work and generated revenues in excess of $25,000 within the preceding fiscal year. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we define existing clients as clients for whom we have done work and generated revenues in excess of $25,000 within the preceding twelve months.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we contracted with 41 and 90, respectively, new logos with a higher number of new logo additions within the technology and business services and energy, public and health services industry verticals.

Revenues by Customer Location

Our revenues are sourced from four geographic markets: North America, Asia-Pacific region ("APAC"), Europe and Latin America ("LATAM"). We present and discuss our revenues by the geographic location where the revenues are under client contract; however, the delivery of those client contracts could be supported by offshore delivery locations.

During the first quarter of 2024, in connection with the Reorganization (as defined below), the Company updated the disaggregation of revenue by customer location to reflect the geographical market based on contracting location, consistent with client ownership within our geographical markets, versus billing location, as previously reported. All corresponding disclosures and historical amounts, including revenue by country noted below, have been recast to reflect the change.

The following table presents our revenues by customer location and revenues as a percentage of total revenues by customer location for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

(1)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the United States contributed revenues of $81.0 million and $162.3 million, respectively, compared to $98.9 million and $204.6 million, respectively, for the same respective periods in 2023. The largest revenue contribution in North America came from the energy, public and health services industry vertical.

(2)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the top revenue contributing country was Australia with revenues of $31.4 million and $61.4 million, respectively, compared to $31.8 million and $64.3 million, respectively, for the same respective periods in 2023.

The largest revenue contribution in Europe came from the automotive, travel and transportation industry vertical.

(4)The top revenue contributing country was Brazil. The largest revenue contribution in LATAM came from the retail and consumer industry vertical.

Revenues by Client Concentration

We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients. We seek to grow revenues from our existing clients by continually increasing the value we provide and expanding the scope and size of our engagements. Revenues derived from these clients may fluctuate as these accounts mature or upon beginning or completing multi-year projects. We believe there is significant potential for future growth as we expand our capabilities and offerings within existing clients. In addition, we remain committed to diversifying our client base and adding new clients to our client mix.

The following table presents revenues contributed by our largest clients by amount and as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Top five clients	$43,590	17.3%	$52,089	18.1%	$86,897	17.4%	$101,284	17.0%
Top ten clients	$69,736	27.7%	$79,072	27.5%	$139,085	27.8%	$159,920	26.9%

10,761	11,574	$46,000	$50,000	$92,000	$100,000	13.0%	12.6%

(1)We define average revenue per employee as total revenues for the period divided by the average number of employees in such period.

The decrease in average revenue per employee compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by the negative impact to revenues from client budget caution and onshore/offshore mix. We believe our low voluntary attrition reflects our ability to retain our employees due to our unique, cultivating culture, our focus on career development, our intensive training programs and our interesting work opportunities.

Bookings

We use Bookings ("Bookings") as a forward-looking metric that measures the value of new contracts, renewals, extensions and changes to existing contracts during the fiscal period. We believe Bookings provides a broad measure of useful trend information regarding changes in the volume of our business. We use Bookings to evaluate the results of our operations, generate future operating plans and assess the performance of our company. However, Bookings can vary significantly quarter to quarter due to both timing and demand from our clients and thus the conversion of Bookings to revenues is uncertain. The amount of Bookings involves estimates and judgments and is not a reliable predictor of revenues over time. There is no standard definition or measurement of Bookings thus our methodology may not be comparable to other companies. Bookings were $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 20.0% decrease is primarily a result of reduced client budgets reflecting caution around the macroeconomic environment and smaller contract sizes which reflect a shift to offshore services, where bill rates are lower compared to onshore work, and, in certain cases, discounts or pricing adjustments.

Cost of Revenues

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change

Cost of revenues	$181,444	$196,338	$(14,894)	(7.6)%	$360,257	$405,860	$(45,603)	(11.2)%

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenues (including stock-based compensation) decreased (7.6)% and (11.2)%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by a decrease in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $8.3 million, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $5.6 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by a decrease in payroll expense (excluding stock-based

27

compensation) of $31.2 million, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense $10.6 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.7 million.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross margin	27.9%	31.6%			28.0%	31.7%

Our gross margin decreased by 3.7 percentage points for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 3.7 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) partially offset by stock-based compensation expense, as a percentage of revenues.

SG&A Expenses and SG&A Margin

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change

SG&A margin	31.7%	30.2%			31.2%	29.1%

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased 7.9% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $3.0 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition) and acquisition costs of $1.3 million, partially offset by CEO transition costs of $1.1 million (including a net reversal of $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO transition). The increase in SG&A margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation), as a percentage of revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased 9.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $7.5 million, stock-based compensation expense of $4.1 million (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition), acquisition costs of $2.1 million and professional fees of $2.1 million. The increase in SG&A margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation), as a percentage of revenues.

NM - not meaningful

Restructuring includes non-wage related expenses of $1.0 million and $2.1 million and wage-related expenses of $6.2 million and $7.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Non-wage related expenses include costs related to reducing leased office space, vendor contract cancellations, professional fees and other reorganization costs. Wage-related expenses include employee severance and related benefits, of which relates to operations.

(Loss) Income from Operations and (Loss) Income from Operations Margin

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change
(in thousands, except percentages)
(Loss) income from operations	$(22,463)	$(1,623)	$(20,840)	NM	$(36,663)	$4,029	$(40,692)	NM
(Loss) income from operations margin	(8.9)%	(0.6)%			(7.3)%	0.7%

The increase in loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue of $35.5 million and an increase in restructuring expense of $7.2 million; partially offset by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $11.3 million, stock-based compensation expense of $7.6 million (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition) and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.9 million (the majority of which is related to depreciation included in cost of revenues). The increase in loss from operations margin was driven by payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) and restructuring expense, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense, as a percentage of revenues.

The decrease in income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in revenues of $94.0 million and an increase in restructuring expense of $9.3 million; partially offset by decreases in payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) of $38.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $14.7 million (excluding the net reversal of $0.6 million related to the CEO transition), professional fees of $4.1 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $3.8 million (the majority of which is related to depreciation included in cost of revenues). The decrease in income from operations margin was driven by payroll expense (excluding stock-based compensation) and restructuring expense, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense, as a percentage of revenues.

Interest Expense

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change
(in thousands, except percentages)
Interest expense	$6,637	$6,150	$487	7.9%	$13,223	$13,012	$211	1.6%

Interest expense is primarily related to our Term Loan and Revolver. There was a non-material change in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Other Expense (Income), Net

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change
(in thousands, except percentages)
Other expense (income), net	$(144)	$(135)	$(9)	6.7%	$(493)	$588	$(1,081)	(183.8)%

There was a non-material change in other expense (income), net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The change in other expense (income), net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the write-off of deferred financing fees related to the voluntary prepayment in 2023.

Income Tax Expense and Effective Tax Rate

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change	2024	2023	$ Change	% Change
(in thousands, except percentages)
Income tax expense	$1,629	$4,604	$(2,975)	(64.6)%	$1,666	$11,963	$(10,297)	(86.1)%
Effective tax rate	(4.7)%	(60.0)%			(2.5)%	(142.1)%

See Note 3, Income Taxes, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for additional discussion around forecasting uncertainties related to our income tax rate.

Income tax expense decreased by $3.0 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the change in loss before income taxes.

The effective tax rate in each period differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to U.S. corporate state income taxation and the effect of foreign operations which reflects the impact of different income tax rates in locations outside the United States, the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of select foreign and US operations, the unfavorable impact of providing for unrecognized tax benefits, the unfavorable impact of capitalized research and experimental costs under IRC §174 increasing the Company's net GILTI inclusion, the non-deductibility of China SAFE RSUs, and the unfavorable impact of excess tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the prior respective periods in 2023 and the negative effective tax rate for all periods presented were a result of the aforementioned net unfavorable items, when compared to the pre-tax loss.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses

See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report as well as “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Global Operations—Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates" as included in our 2023 Annual Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as net loss adjusted for unrealized loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs and income tax effects of adjustments.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude income tax expense; interest expense; other (income) expense, net, excluding a gain related to the mark to market adjustment on shares received in relation to the sale and settlement of trade receivables; unrealized loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition costs; certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations; employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan; restructuring costs; and CEO transition costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as measures of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for supplemental period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

•Our management uses Adjusted Net (Loss) Income to assess our overall performance, without regard to items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, net of the income tax effect of the adjustments;

•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the aforementioned adjustments which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired or costs that are unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations;

•Our management uses Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and

•Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:

•Although depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring non-cash expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

•Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

31

•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect (i) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (ii) accruals or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect transaction costs related to acquisitions; and

•The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures when they report their operating results, and we may, in the future, exclude other significant, unusual or non-recurring expenses or other items from these financial measures.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered along with other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes certain key measures of our liquidity and capital resources (in thousands):

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	47,740	$	100,305
Availability under Revolver	300,000		300,000
Borrowings under Revolver	—		—
Long-term debt, including current portion (1)	289,844		293,185

33

(1)The balance includes deferred financing fees. A reconciliation of gross to net amounts is presented in Note 6, Credit Agreements.

Our cash generated from operations has been our primary source of liquidity to fund operations and investments. Our capital investments focus on our technology solutions, corporate infrastructure and strategic acquisitions to further expand into new business sectors and/or expand sales in existing sectors. The Company generates sufficient cash flows for working capital and expects to do so for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million and $300.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolver.

In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, or intellectual property rights. To fund these acquisitions or investments, we may seek to access the debt or capital markets. Our ability to obtain additional funding will be subject to various factors, including general market conditions, our operating performance, the market’s perception of our growth potential, lender sentiment and our ability to incur additional debt in compliance with our contractual restrictions, including those in our Credit Agreement.

Our Credit Facilities

Our subsidiaries are party to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan and the Revolver. See Note 12, Credit Agreements, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report for a discussion of our Term Loan and Revolver as well as Note 6, Credit Agreements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to this Quarterly Report. As of June 30, 2024, we had $291.8 million outstanding, gross of deferred financing fees, under our Term Loan with an interest rate of 8.1% and no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver.

The Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain covenants customary for agreements of this type. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(33,951)	$	30,243
Investing activities	(8,921)		(19,449)
Financing activities	(6,465)		(117,035)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(2,924)		178
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(52,261)	$	(106,063)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $34.0 million comprised of net loss of $67.4 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $20.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $15.5 million unrealized foreign currency exchange loss and $14.4 million of depreciation and amortization. Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was further benefited by the change in trade receivables of $18.2 million offset by the change in unbilled receivables of $20.7 million and the change in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $9.1 million driven by decreases in accrued compensation and deferred revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $30.2 million comprised of net loss of $20.4 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $35.3 million of stock-based

34

compensation expense and $18.2 million of depreciation and amortization. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was further benefited by the change in trade receivables of $47.3 million, partially offset by the change in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $28.5 million, driven by a decrease in accrued compensation and the payment of tax installments, and the change in unbilled receivables of $15.3 million.

Cash provided by operating activities can be significantly impacted by the timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to vendors as well as vendor payment terms.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.9 million driven primarily by the purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of a technology asset.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $19.4 million driven primarily by the acquisition of Itoc in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.5 million driven primarily by the payment of withholding taxes of $4.2 million related to net share settlement of equity awards and the repayment of long-term debt of $3.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $117.0 million driven primarily by the repayment of long-term debt of $103.6 million and $14.0 million related to the contingent consideration payment.

Contractual Obligations and Future Capital Requirements

Contractual Obligations

Refer to Note 8, Leases, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2023 Annual Report for additional information related to our lease commitments.

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 from the contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.

Except as disclosed in “—Our Credit Facilities” and those mentioned above, we did not have other material contractual obligations for cash expenditures.

Future Capital Requirements

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with our expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months and that we possess the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives, including the ability to make acquisitions and strategic investments in the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors, and due to our global operations, the value of cash generated may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we incur new debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. If we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders may experience dilution, and such new securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financings unattractive. Our inability to raise capital could impede our growth or otherwise require us to forego growth opportunities and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

35

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Such liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are recorded when the Company assesses that it is probable that a future liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of costs from third parties, which the Company assesses as being probable of realization, are recorded to the extent of related contingent liabilities accrued. Legal costs incurred in connection with matters relating to contingencies are expensed in the period incurred. The Company records gain contingencies when realized.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during any of the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ from these estimates and could differ based upon other assumptions or conditions.

Other than the items disclosed below, there have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 2023 Annual Report.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company no longer considers stock-based compensation a critical accounting estimate as there is an immaterial amount of unvested awards related to grants prior to the initial public offering.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, if any, over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

We review goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In conducting our annual goodwill impairment test, we first review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative impairment assessment of the asset, analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows to quantify the amount of impairment, if any. We perform our annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

36

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily result from changes in concentration of credit, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, civil unrest, political instability or uncertainty, military activities, broad-based sanctions, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.

There were no material changes to the information on market risk disclosure from our 2023 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

37

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations and businesses that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, intellectual property, data privacy and cybersecurity, contract and employment, personal injury, product liability and warranty. Currently, there are no claims or proceedings against us that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, we may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described above and in the 2023 Annual Report in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. There have been no material changes to the Company's risk factors since those set forth in the 2023 Annual Report, except as set forth below:

Risks Related to the Proposed Merger

On August 5, 2024, Thoughtworks Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tasmania Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Tasmania Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions and on the terms set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Turing EquityCo II L.P. (the “Significant Company Stockholder”), the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company and an affiliate of certain investment funds advised by Apax Partners LLP.

The description of the Merger Agreement in these Risk Factors is not and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2024 and incorporated by reference herein.

We may fail to consummate the Merger, and uncertainties related to the consummation of the Merger may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock.

The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions beyond our control, including customary closing conditions. Failure to satisfy the conditions to the Merger could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger. Further, regulators may impose conditions, obligations or restrictions on the Merger that may have the effect of delaying or preventing its completion. If the Merger does not close, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price, and our stockholders would be exposed to additional risks, including, but not limited to:

•to the extent that the current trading price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed, the trading price of our common stock could decrease if the Merger is not completed;

•investor confidence in us could decline, stockholder litigation could be brought against us, relationships with existing and prospective customers, service providers, investors, lenders and other business partners may be adversely impacted, we may be unable to retain key personnel, and our operating results may be adversely impacted due to costs incurred in connection with the Merger;

38

•we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses for professional services in connection with the Merger for which we will have received little or no benefit if the Merger is not consummated; and

•any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including adverse changes in our relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and employees, may continue or intensify in the event the Merger is not consummated or is significantly delayed.

In addition, the efforts and costs to satisfy the closing conditions of the Merger may place a significant burden on management and internal resources, and the Merger and related transactions, whether or not consummated, may result in a diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations. Any significant diversion of management’s attention away from ongoing business and difficulties encountered in the Merger process could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There also is no assurance that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will occur on the terms and timeline currently contemplated or at all.

If the proposed Merger is delayed or not completed, the trading price of our common stock may decline, including to the extent that the current trading price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated without further delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to various uncertainties while the Merger is pending, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Uncertainty about the pendency of the Merger and the effect of the Merger on employees, customers and other third parties who deal with us may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel pending the consummation of the Merger, as such personnel may experience uncertainty about their future roles following the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause customers and other third parties who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us or fail to extend an existing relationship with us, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and trading price of our common stock.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to certain interim covenants.

The Merger Agreement generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course, subject to certain exceptions, including as required by applicable law, pending consummation of the Merger, and subjects us to customary interim operating covenants that restrict us from taking certain specified actions until the Merger is completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the Merger and may affect our ability to execute our business strategies and attain financial and other goals and may impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We and our directors and officers may be subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger.

Litigation is very common in connection with the sale of public companies, regardless of whether the claims have any merit. One of the conditions to consummating the Merger is that no order preventing the consummation of the Merger shall have been issued by any court. Consequently, if any such lawsuit challenging the Merger is successful in obtaining an order preventing the consummation of the Merger, that order may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed. While we will evaluate and defend against any lawsuits, the time and costs of defending against litigation relating to the Merger may adversely affect our business.

We will continue to incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the Merger.

We have incurred significant legal, advisory and financial services fees in connection with Merger. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs in connection with the satisfaction of the various

39

conditions to closing of the Merger. If there is any delay in the consummation of the Merger, these costs could increase significantly.

Other Risks

If we are required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, our financial condition and results would be negatively affected.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, if Thoughtworks determines goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we would be required to write down these assets to fair value. Any write-down would have a negative effect on the consolidated financial statements. We continue to monitor the impact of our stock price and financial forecasts on this evaluation.
