Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SmartRent, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is an enterprise real estate technology company that provides comprehensive management software and applications designed for property owners, managers and residents. Its suite of products and services, which includes both smart building hardware and cloud-based software-as-a-service ("SaaS") solutions, provides seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. The Company’s solutions can help lower operating costs, increase revenue, mitigate operational friction and protect assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents. The Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The Company, formerly known as Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I ("FWAA"), was originally incorporated in Delaware on November 23, 2020, as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination withone or more target businesses. On February 9, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering, following which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq National Market. On April 21, 2021, FWAA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with SmartRent.com, Inc. (“Legacy SmartRent”) and Einstein Merger Corp. I, a wholly owned subsidiary of FWAA. On August 24, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) were consummated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, FWAA changed its name to SmartRent, Inc. and its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SMRT.” As a result of the Business Combination, SmartRent, Inc. became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all the equity interests of Legacy SmartRent and its subsidiaries.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented herein. The financial data and other information disclosed in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period.
Foreign Currency
SmartRent, Inc.'s functional and reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”) and its foreign subsidiaries have a functional currency other than USD. Financial position and results of operations of the Company's international subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. The Company's international subsidiaries' statements of operations accounts are translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing currency exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions, as well as translation gains or losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency, are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Liquidity
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that currently available resources will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year past the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing to fund future operations until it generates positive operating cash flows. There can be no assurance that such additional equity or debt financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates made by management include valuing the Company’s inventories on hand, allowance for expected credit losses, intangible assets, earnout liabilities, warranty liabilities, stand-alone selling price of items sold, and certain assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards, including the estimated fair value of common stock warrants, and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company follows the two-class method to include the dilutive effect of securities that participated in dividends, if and when declared, when computing net income per common share. The two-class method determines net income per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends, if and when declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The anti-dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is excluded from the computation of net loss per share because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company considers any unvested common shares subject to repurchase to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on common stock. The holders of unvested shares of common stock subject to repurchase do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase and any shares issuable by the exercise of warrants for nominal consideration.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, the diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at multiple financial institutions, and, at times, these balances exceed federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. The Company believes any risks are mitigated through the size and security of the financial institution at which its cash balances are held.
Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. The Company reports the current portion of restricted cash as a separate item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-current portion is a component of other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consist of balances due from customers resulting from the sale of hardware, professional services and Hosted Services. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, are non-interest bearing and are presented net of the associated allowance for expected credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for expected credit losses totaled$2,165 and$1,361 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The provision for expected credit losses is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. There wasno provision for expected credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for expected credit losses totaled $39 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The provision for expected credit losses totaled $804 and $39 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company evaluates the collectability of the accounts receivable balances and has determined the allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, which include the nature of the relationship and the prior collection experience the Company has with the account and an evaluation for current and projected economic conditions as of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets date. Accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for expected credit losses. Actual collections of accounts receivable could differ from management’s estimates.
Significant Customers
A significant customer represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or net accounts receivable balance at each respective Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet date. Revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable for each significant customer follows.
| Accounts Receivable · Revenue · Revenue | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As of · For the three months ended · For the nine months ended | ||||||
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | September 30, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | September 30, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |

| Customer D | 20% | * | * | * | 12% | * |
| Customer E | * | * | 57% | * | 26% | * |
- Total less than 10% for the respective period
Inventory
Inventories, which are comprised of smart home equipment and components, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the first-in, first-out method. The Company adjusts the inventory balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage and historical write-offs.
In August 2023, the Company entered into a Product Sales Agreement (the "Agreement") with ADI Global Distribution ("ADI"), pursuant to which, ADI agreed to serve as the Company's non-exclusive hardware fulfillment partner throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Company is subject to certain buy-back provisions relating to the transferred inventory. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded$1,623 and$851 in connection with the buy-back provision, which is recorded in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over net assets of the Company's completed business combinations. The Company tests for potential impairment of goodwill on an annual basis as of September 30 to determine if the carrying value is less than the fair value. The Company will conduct additional tests between annual tests if there are indications of potential goodwill impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company conducted an interim test as of July 31, 2024 following the departure of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Company concluded that goodwill wasnot impaired as of July 31, 2024. No goodwill impairment has been recorded as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Intangible Assets
The Company recorded intangible assets with finite lives, including customer relationships and developed technology, as a result of acquisitions made in prior years. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis based on their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of these intangible assets are as follows.
| Estimated useful life (in years) | |
|---|---|
| Trade name | 5 |
| Customer relationships | 10 - 13 |
| Developed technology | 1 - 7 |
Warranty Allowance
The Company provides its customers with limited-service warranties associated with product replacement and related services. The warranty typically lastsone year following the installation of the product. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in hardware cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for identified current or anticipated future trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, warranty expense included in cost of hardware revenue was $(693) and$850, respectively. The negative warranty expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the Company's release of an $864 accrual related to the replacement of deficient batteries as disclosed in the paragraph below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, warranty expense included in cost of hardware revenue was $(650) and$1,390, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s warranty allowance was$638 and$2,215, respectively, and is recorded in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified a deficiency with batteries contained in certain hardware sold and has included an estimate of the expected cost to remove these batteries, which were acquired from one supplier, in its warranty allowance. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company determined the battery replacements were complete and released the remaining warranty accrual of $864 related to the battery deficiency. As of September 30, 2024, there isno amount in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost of replacement for this identified battery deficiency. As of December 31, 2023,$864 is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost of replacement for this identified battery deficiency.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified a deficiency with the firmware and sensor accuracy of certain hardware sold and has included an estimate of the expected cost to update the related firmware and hardware. As of December 31, 2023, $410 is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost to perform the firmware and hardware updates. As of September 30, 2024, there isno amount in the Company's warranty allowance related to the remaining cost to perform the firmware and hardware updates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional services and Hosted Services to assist property owners and property managers with visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Revenue is recorded when control of these products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products and services.
The Company may enter into contracts that contain multiple distinct performance obligations. The transaction price for a typical arrangement includes the price for: smart home hardware devices, professional services, and a subscription for use of the Company's software (“Hosted Services”). Included in these contracts are centrally connected devices ("Hub Devices"), which integrate the Company’s enterprise software with third party smart devices. Historically, the Company only sold non-distinct Hub Devices which only functioned with a subscription to its software ("non-distinct Hub Devices"). During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company began shipping Hub Devices with features that function independently from its software subscription ("distinct Hub Devices"). Non-distinct Hub Devices are recognized as a single performance obligation with the Company’s software in Hosted Services revenue, while distinct Hub Devices are recognized as a separate performance obligation in hardware revenue. When distinct Hub Devices are included in a contract, the Hosted Services performance obligation is comprised of only the Company’s software.
The Company considers delivery for each of the hardware, professional services and Hosted Services to be separate performance obligations. The hardware performance obligation includes the delivery of smart home hardware and distinct Hub Devices. The professional services performance obligation includes the services to install the hardware. The Hosted Services performance obligation provides a subscription that allows the customer access to software during the contracted-use term when the promised service is provided to the customer. Also included in the hosted service performance obligation are non-distinct Hub Devices that only function with a subscription to the Company’s software.
Payments are received by the Company by credit card, check or automated clearing house payments and payment terms are determined by individual contracts and generally range from due upon receipt to net 30 days. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenue. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue. The Company has elected the following practical expedients following the adoption of ASC 606:
Shipping and handling costs: the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities (i.e., an expense) rather than as a promised service and are recorded as hardware cost of revenue. Amounts billed for shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue.
Sales tax collected from customers: the Company elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.
Measurement of the transaction price: the Company applies the practical expedient that allows for inclusion of the future auto-renewals in the initial measurement of the transaction price. The Company only applies these steps when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to a customer.
Significant financing component: the Company elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of promised goods or services and when the customer pays for the goods or services will be one year or less.
Timing of Revenue Recognition is as follows.
Hardware Revenue
Hardware revenue results from the direct sale to customers of hardware smart home devices, which devices generally consist of a distinct Hub Device, door locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches. These hardware devices provide features that function independently without subscription to the Company's software, and the performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the hardware device is shipped to the customer. The Company generally provides a one-year warranty period on hardware devices that are delivered and installed. The cost of the warranty is recorded as a component of cost of hardware revenue.
Professional Services Revenue
Professional services revenue results from installing smart home hardware devices, which does not result in significant customization of the product and is generally performed over a period from two to four weeks. Installations can be performed by the Company's employees, contracted out to a third-party with the Company's employees managing the engagement, or the customer can perform the installation themselves. The Company’s professional services contracts are generally arranged on a fixed price basis, and revenue is recognized over the period in which the installations are completed.
Hosted Services Revenue
Hosted Services revenue primarily consists of monthly subscription revenue generated from fees that provide customers access to one or more of the Company’s software applications including access controls, asset monitoring and related services, and our Community WiFi solution, which provides communities with a private, device-dedicated WiFi network. These subscription arrangements have contractual terms ranging fromone month toeight years and include recurring fixed plan subscription fees. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. Accordingly, fees collected for subscription services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the subscription service is made available to the customer. Variable consideration is immaterial.
Also included in Hosted Services revenue are non-distinct Hub Devices. The Company considers those devices and hosting services subscription a single performance obligation and therefore defers the recognition of revenue for those devices upon shipment to the customer. The revenue is then amortized over its average service life. When a non-distinct Hub Device is included in a contract that does not require a long-term service commitment, the customer obtains a material right to renew the service because purchasing a new device is not required upon renewal. If a contract contains a material right, proceeds are allocated to the material right and recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally four years.
Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct costs of products and services together with the indirect cost of estimated warranty expense and customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement.
Hardware
Cost of hardware revenue consists primarily of direct costs of products, such as the distinct Hub Device, hardware devices, supplies purchased from third-party providers, and shipping costs, together with indirect costs related to warehouse facilities (including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets and right-of-use assets), infrastructure costs, personnel-related costs associated with the procurement and distribution of products and warranty expenses together with the indirect cost of customer care and support.
Professional Services
Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of direct costs related to personnel-related expenses for installation and supervision of installation services, general contractor expenses and travel expenses associated with the installation of products and indirect costs that are also primarily personnel-related expenses in connection with training of and ongoing support for customers and residents.
Hosted Services
Cost of Hosted Services revenue consists primarily of the amortization of the direct costs of non-distinct Hub Devices, consistent with the revenue recognition period noted above in "Hosted Services Revenue", and infrastructure costs associated with providing software applications together with the indirect cost of customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement.
Deferred Cost of Revenue
Deferred cost of revenue includes all direct costs included in cost of revenue for Hosted Services and non-distinct Hub Devices that have been deferred to future periods.
Our stock-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to our employees and directors during the periods presented. Stock-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the stock price. The fair value of these awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur by reversing previously recognized compensation expense.
The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield, and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term and forfeitures, which are recognized as they occur. For all stock options granted, we calculated the expected term using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” stock option awards.
The grant date fair value is also utilized with respect to RSUs with performance and service conditions to vest. For RSUs with a performance condition, based on a liquidity event, as well as a service condition to vest, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance condition has been satisfied. Subsequent to the liquidity event, compensation expense is recognized to the extent the requisite service period has been completed and compensation expense thereafter is recognized on an accelerated attribution method. Under the accelerated attribution method, compensation expense is recognized over the remaining requisite service period for each service condition tranche as though each tranche is, in substance, a separate award. In August 2021, the Company completed the merger with FWAA, which met the liquidity event vesting condition and triggered the recognition of compensation expense for RSUs for which the time-based vesting condition had been satisfied or partially satisfied.
Research and Development
These expenses relate to the research and development of new products and services and enhancements to the Company’s existing product offerings. The Company accounts for the cost of research and development by capitalizing qualifying costs, which are incurred during the product development stage, and amortizing those costs over the product’s estimated useful life, which generally ranges from three tofive years depending on the type of application. The Company expenses preliminary evaluation costs as they are incurred before the product development stage, as well as post development implementation and operation costs, such as training, maintenance and minor upgrades. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized$3,209 and$822, respectively, of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized$5,864 and$3,037, respectively, of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had capitalized$12,928 of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which$10,822 remained to be amortized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had capitalized$7,064 of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which$6,163 remains to be amortized.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense. The Company incurred$191 of advertising expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024. There wereno such advertising expenses recorded for thethree months ended September 30, 2023. The Company incurred$423 and$268 of advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Segments
The Company hasone operating segment andone reportable segment. Its chief operating decision maker, a management committee comprised of current executives (the "Management Committee"), reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company’s long-lived assets are located primarily within the United States. The Company held$8,538 and$8,280 of assets outside the United States as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Recent Accounting Guidance
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU updates the annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impacts to results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires the expansion of disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The requirement to disclose credit quality indicators by year or origination is not applicable to trade receivables due in one year or less that result from revenue transactions within the scope of ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023 using the modified-retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance didnot have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2021, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of iQuue, LLC ("iQuue"). The Company reports the current portion of the acquisition earnout payment as a component of other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-current portion is a component of other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earnout payments related to acquisitions are measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 liabilities for thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows.
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Balance at beginning of period | $4,250 | $5,540 |
| Payment of earnout in connection with the iQuue acquisition | (1,530) | (1,702) |
| Change in fair value of earnout | 140 | 412 |
| Balance at end of period | $2,860 | $4,250 |
The fair value of the earnout payment is measured on a recurring basis at each reporting date. The following inputs and assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the earnout payment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company determined there was a $140 increase in the fair value of the earnout, primarily due to a decreased payment term as the Company is nine months closer to the payout date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was a $225 increase in the fair value of the earnout, primarily due to a decreased payment term as the Company approached the payment date. The Company recorded these adjustments in general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the earnout payment as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 6. DEBT
Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility
In December 2021, the Company entered into a $75,000 Senior Revolving Facility with afive-year term (the "Senior Revolving Facility"). The Senior Revolving Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility, and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility. Proceeds from the Senior Revolving Facility are to be used for general corporate purposes. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Revolving Facility may be repaid and, prior to the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date, reborrowed. The Senior Revolving Facility terminates on the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date in December 2026, when the principal amount of all advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other obligations relating to the Senior Revolving Facility shall be immediately due and payable. The Company has yet to draw on the Senior Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2024. The Company accounted for the cancellation of its previous revolving facility and the issuance of the Senior Revolving Facility as an exchange with the same creditor. As a result, all costs related to entering into the Senior Revolving Facility that are allowed to be deferred are recorded as a deferred asset and included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs totaled$688 and will be amortized ratably over the five-year term of the Senior Revolving Facility. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded$35 and$34, respectively, of amortization expense in connection with these costs, as a component of interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded$107 and$103, respectively, of amortization expense in connection with these costs, as a component of interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Interest rates for draws upon the Senior Revolving Facility are determined by whether the Company elects a secured overnight financing rate loan (“SOFR Loan”) or alternate base rate loan (”ABR Loan”). For SOFR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) plus 0.10%, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus an applicable margin. For ABR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, or (iii)3.25%, plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2024, the applicable margins for SOFR Loans and ABR Loans under the Senior Revolving Facility were 1.75% and(0.50%), respectively.
In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal balance under the Senior Revolving Facility, the Company is required to pay a facility fee to the lender in respect of the unused commitments thereunder. The facility fee rate is based on the daily unused amount of the Senior Revolving Facility and is one fourth of one percent (0.25%) per annum based on the unused facility amount. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the facility fee totaled$47 and$47, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the facility fee totaled$134 and$141, respectively.
The Senior Revolving Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Such covenants will, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to (i) engage in certain mergers or consolidations, (ii) sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) make changes in the nature of the Company’s business and its subsidiaries, and (v) incur additional indebtedness that is secured on apari passu basis with the Senior Revolving Facility.
The Senior Revolving Facility also requires the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, to maintain a minimum cash balance. If the minimum cash balance is not maintained, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio. If an event of default occurs, the lender is entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Senior Revolving Facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of September 30, 2024, and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants.
The Senior Revolving Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in substantially all the property, rights, and assets of the Company.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there wasno outstanding principal amount under the Senior Revolving Facility.

In July 2024, the Company announced the departure of Lucas Haldeman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board effective July 29, 2024. The Company and Mr. Haldeman entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement provides that, in exchange for Mr. Haldeman executing a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, complying with restrictive covenants (including a non-compete), resigning from the Board and agreeing to other terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Haldeman will receive accelerated vesting of any unvested equity awards (excluding performance based awards) that would have vested had Mr. Haldeman remained employed during the eighteen-month period immediately following the separation date. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement,1,359 stock options and 342 shares of restricted stock units were accelerated to vest on July 29, 2024. The Company accounted for the modification of existing awards as a Type III modification under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation and during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $820 and $449 related to the acceleration of Mr. Haldeman's RSU and stock option awards, respectively.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was(0.18%) and 0.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was(0.59%) and 0.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s ETR during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in valuation allowance and foreign and state taxes.
The income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is primarily related to the state and foreign taxes offset by a change in the valuation allowance. The Company established a full valuation allowance for net deferred U.S. federal and state tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. The Company expects to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods if it reports taxable income. The Company believes that it has established an adequate allowance for uncertain tax positions, although it can provide no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not be materially different. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
NOTE 10. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because inclusion of the shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into lease agreements with third parties for purposes of obtaining office and warehouse space. These leases are accounted for as operating leases and have remaining lease terms of 5 months to 8.01 years. If an optional renewal is reasonably certain to be exercised at lease commencement, the lease term will include the optional period for purposes of measuring the initial ROU asset and lease liability. In addition to monthly rent payments, the Company reimburses the lessors for its share of operating expenses as defined in the leases. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability but are recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred. The leases do not include any restrictions or covenants that had to be accounted for under the lease guidance. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a new office lease and recorded$2,701 of ROU assets and $3,534 of other receivables along with a lease liability of $6,235.
Lease agreements entered into by the Company do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, however we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term on a collateralized basis. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s weighted average discount rate was 5.97% at September 30, 2024 and the weighted-average lease term was 6.7 years at September 30, 2024.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company hadno finance leases.
Annual base rental commitments associated with these leases, excluding operating expense reimbursements, month-to-month lease payments and other related fees and expenses during the remaining lease terms are as follows.
| Operating Leases | |
|---|---|
| Remaining 2024 | $367 |
| 2025 | 1,018 |
| 2026 | 1,620 |
| 2027 | 1,311 |
| 2028 and thereafter | 5,595 |
| Total lease payments | 9,911 |
| Imputed interest | (2,039) |
| Total lease liability | 7,872 |
| Less: Lease liability, current portion | 561 |
| Lease liability, noncurrent | $7,311 |
The Company had$4,172 and$2,550 of ROU assets, net of related amortization, related to its lease liabilities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncurrent portion of the Company’s lease liability is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of the Company's lease liability is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $367 and $442, respectively. For thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1,204 and $1,319, respectively.
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Liabilities are accrued when it is believed that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings or matters will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with a supplier, as further amended in March 2021 (the "Supplier Agreement"), to purchase minimum volumes of certain products through August 2022. Due to significant failure rates and other defects, the Company ceased ordering product from this supplier as of December 2020. Despite the Company’s requests, the supplier indicated they are not willing to refund the Company for the malfunctioning products previously purchased, and therefore, the Company filed a complaint against the supplier on March 22, 2022 in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara (the "Court"). On July 26, 2022, the supplier filed a cross-complaint against the Company for breach of contract and other allegations. In April 2024, the Company made a substantive offer to return the product inventory (valued at $4,955) to the supplier and pay a portion of the supplier’s costs and fees. As of March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a legal accrual of $5,300 within general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The final settlement agreement was signed in June 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the $5,000 legal accrual was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the related product inventory was recorded in other current assets. In July 2024, the inventory was returned to the supplier and the Court granted the parties' Request for Dismissal of the action with prejudice.
In April 2023, a collective action was filed against the Company in Federal Court in Georgia (the "Federal Court") by two former employees alleging failure to pay overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs claim they were improperly classified as exempt employees under the FLSA and thus should have been entitled to overtime pay. Limited discovery was conducted in 2023, and Plaintiffs moved for conditional certification of a collective class in July 2023, which was granted on March 31, 2024. Notice was issued to potential class members, who had until July 15, 2024, to opt into the lawsuit. In October 2024, the parties engaged in a private mediation and agreed to settle the matter for a total amount of $1,500, inclusive of all Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs and related releases, subject to a written agreement and the Federal Court’s approval. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a legal accrual of $1,500 related to this matter within general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims, actions and enforcement matters, if any exist, to determine if accruals for expected negative outcomes of such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates any such outstanding matters based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company's accruals for loss contingencies will not need to be adjusted in the future. The amount of such adjustment could significantly exceed the accruals the Company has recorded. As of September 30, 2024, an accrual of $1,500 was included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to the legal matters discussed above. The Company hadno such accruals as of December 31, 2023.
