Class A Common Stock Offering
Current report
In February 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the “Underwriters”) relating to the offer and sale of 1,600,000 shares of our Class A common stock ($0.0001 par value) (the “Shares”). We sold the Shares to the Underwriters at the public offering price of $5.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $7.0 million. The offering was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3. We provided a 45-day option to the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 240,000 Shares at $5.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On March 7, 2025, the Underwriters elected to waive the right to exercise the Over-Allotment Option.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Previous report
Revenues, net. Revenues increased $6.2 million, or 10.4%, to $65.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $59.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by an increase in member count as well as an increase in ARPU.
Previous report
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $1.1 million or 12.8% to $9.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is primarily related to the increase in revenues and revenue mix. Gross profit margin decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 85.3% from 85.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to increased content amortization related to an overall increase in our investment of our original content offerings and revenue mix.
Previous report
Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $5.4 million, or 10.9%, to $54.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven primarily by an increase in marketing expense and people related expenses in addition to the absence of an ERTC benefit recognized in the third quarter 2023. Without the credit of $1.75 million in 2023, selling and operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $51.3 million.
