Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Company and Background

Chegg provides individualized learning support to students as they pursue their educational journeys.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Chegg, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2025 and our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We have a single operating and reportable segment and operating unit structure. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed with the SEC.

Except for the following change to our policy on revenue recognition and deferred revenue, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our policy on revenue recognition and deferred revenue has been updated to address the revenue recognition of content licensing.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

Revenues from content licensing are recognized upon fulfillment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current business conditions, and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes in our use of estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the use of estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 8 “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

In order to conform with current period presentation, $1.0 million of deferred tax assets have been reclassified from deferred tax assets to other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. This change in presentation does not affect previously reported results.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or when certain events or indicators of impairment occur between annual impairment tests. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, in consideration of the sustained decline in our stock price, industry developments, and our financial performance, we evaluated our current operating performance. Accordingly, we determined that there were indicators of impairment and a quantitative assessment was necessary. In the quantitative assessment, we estimated the fair value of our reporting unit utilizing an income approach, based on the present value of future discounted cash flows, which is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Significant estimates used to determine fair value include the weighted average cost of capital, growth rates, and amount and timing of expected future cash flows. As a result of the quantitative assessment, we determined that goodwill was impaired as the fair value of our reporting unit was less than the carrying value. As such, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a $439.7 million impairment expense equal to the excess of the carrying value of our reporting unit over the estimated fair value, which was classified as impairment expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we obtained $1.4 million of ROU assets in exchange for lease liabilities as we commenced atwo year operating lease for an office space in the United Kingdom.

In connection with the May 2025 restructuring action, we announced the closure of our Portland office. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a full impairment of $3.0 million, consisting of $2.4 million impairment of ROU assets and $0.6 million impairment of leasehold improvements, which was classified as a general and administrative expense on our consolidated statement of operations. Our intent and ability to sublease the office as well as the local market conditions were factored in when measuring the amount of impairment. For further information on the May 2025 restructuring action, see Note 12. Restructuring Charges”.

Note 2. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our revenues are recognized over time as services are performed, with certain revenues being recognized at a point in time.

The following tables present our total net revenues for the periods shown disaggregated for our Subscription Services and Skills and Other product lines (in thousands, except percentages):

Three Months Ended June 30, · Change

Total net revenues$226,507$337,497$(110,990)(33)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized revenues of $27.1 million and $34.2 million, respectively, that were included in our deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective reporting period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized revenues of $38.9 million and $47.1 million, respectively, that were included in our deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective reporting period.

Contract Balances

The following table presents our accounts receivable, net, contract assets and deferred revenue balances (in thousands, except percentages):

Contract assets6,4287,027(599)(9)
Deferred revenue34,75939,217(4,458)(11)

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our accounts receivable, net balance decreased by $5.6 million, or 24%, primarily due to higher cash collections and seasonality of our business. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our contract assets balance decreased by $0.6 million, or 9%, primarily due to cash collections from our Chegg Skills service. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our deferred revenue balance decreased by $4.5 million, or 11%, primarily due to lower bookings and seasonality of our business.

Note 3. Net Loss Per Share

As of June 30, 2025, we determined that the unrealized losses on our investments were not driven by credit related factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not recognize any losses on our investments due to credit related factors and our realized gains and losses on investments were not significant.

The following table presents our cash equivalents and investments' adjusted cost and fair value by contractual maturity as of June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Investments not due at a single maturity date10,84810,848
Total$87,847$88,137

Investments not due at a single maturity date in the preceding table consisted of money market funds.

Strategic Investments

In July 2022, we completed an investment of $6.0 million in Knack Technologies, Inc. (Knack), a privately held U.S. based peer-to-peer tutoring platform for higher education institutions. We do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Knack's operating and financial policies and have elected to account for our investment at cost as it does not have a readily determinable fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a $6.0 million impairment charge on our investment in Knack included within general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our impairment assessment was the result of changes in our rights as an investor and uncertainty around Knack's ability to support their future operations.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We report our financial instruments at fair value with the exception of the 2026 notes. The estimated fair value of the 2026 notes was determined based on the trading price as of the last day of trading for the period. We consider the fair value of the 2026 notes to be a Level 2 measurement due to the limited trading activity. The estimated fair value of the 2026 notes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $49.5 million and $105.8 million, respectively. For further information on the 2026 notes, refer to Note 7, “Convertible Senior Notes.”

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we streamlined our product experiences. As a result, we elected to abandon certain content and internal-use software assets and recorded charges of $18.2 million, consisting of $16.2 million of accelerated depreciation classified as cost of revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and $2.0 million of impairment of in-progress internal-use software assets classified as impairment expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7. Convertible Senior Notes

In March/April 2019, we issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.125% convertible senior notes due in 2025 (2025 notes). The 2025 notes matured on March 15, 2025 and we paid $358.9 million to repay them which was classified as a financing activity on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

In August 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due in 2026 (2026 notes, together with the 2025 notes, the notes). The 2026 notes bearno interest and will mature on September 1, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 notes will initially be convertible into 9.2978 shares of our common stock. This is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $107.55 per share, which is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2026 for the 2026 notes, the notes are convertible at the option of holders only upon satisfaction of certain circumstances. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the circumstances allowing holders of the 2026 notes to convert were not met. On or after June 1, 2026 for the 2026 notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective maturity dates, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the circumstances. As of June 30, 2025, the 2026 notes were classified as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as they will be convertible at the option of the holders on or after June 1, 2026.

In March 2025, in connection with our securities repurchase program, we extinguished $65.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 notes in privately-negotiated transactions for a total consideration of $57.4 million, which was paid to the holders in cash. We also incurred approximately $0.2 million in fees resulting in a total reacquisition price of $57.6 million. The carrying amount of the extinguished notes was $64.9 million resulting in a $7.4 million gain on early extinguishment of debt. We elected to reacquire and not cancel the extinguished 2026 notes and left the associated capped call transactions outstanding.

The following table presents the net carrying amount of the notes (in thousands):

Total 2025 notes interest expense$—$491$398$980

Capped Call Transactions

Concurrently with the offering of the 2026 notes, we used $103.4 million of the net proceeds to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions which are expected to reduce or offset potential dilution to holders of our common stock upon conversion of the notes or offset the potential cash payments we would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted notes. The capped call transactions automatically exercise upon conversion of the notes and as of June 30, 2025, cover 9,297,800 shares of our common stock for the 2026 notes. These are intended to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $107.55 to $156.44 per share for the 2026 notes. The effective increase in conversion price as a result of the capped call transactions serves to reduce potential dilution to holders of our common stock and/or offset the cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are not accounted for as derivatives. The fair value of the capped call instrument is not remeasured each reporting period. The cost of the capped call is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

We may from time to time be subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights; employment claims; and general contract or other claims. We may also, from time to time, be subject to various legal or government claims, demands, disputes, investigations, or requests for information. Such matters may include, but not be limited to, claims, disputes, or investigations related to warranty, refund, breach of contract, employment, intellectual property, government regulation, or compliance or other matters.

On September 7, 2022, KBC Asset Management and The Pompano Beach Police & Firefighters Retirement System were appointed as lead plaintiff in the case. On December 8, 2022, Plaintiff filed his Amended Complaint seeking unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses, including counsel and expert fees. On September 26, 2024, the parties participated in an in-person mediation and reached a settlement in principle to pay $55.0 million wherein the Company denies any and all allegations of fault, liability, wrongdoing, or damages. On November 6, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. The Court held a final approval hearing on April 24, 2025 and issued its final order approving of the settlement on May 21, 2025. The estimated contingent liability for the loss contingency recorded was $55.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and was included within accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The same amount was recorded for expected insurance loss recoveries, which is included within other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On September 13, 2021, Pearson Education, Inc. (Pearson) filed a complaint captioned Pearson Education, Inc. v. Chegg, Inc. (Pearson Complaint) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company (Case 2:21-cv-16866), alleging infringement of Pearson’s registered copyrights and exclusive rights under copyright in violation of the United States Copyright Act. Pearson is seeking injunctive relief, monetary damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed its answer to the Pearson Complaint on November 19, 2021. Pearson’s June 29, 2022 Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint seeking to add Bedford, Freeman & Worth Publishing Group, LLC d/b/a Macmillan Learning as a plaintiff was denied. Pearson filed an Amended Complaint on May 10, 2023, and the Company filed an amended answer on June 7, 2023. Chegg and Pearson have resolved this litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the parties' confidential settlement, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice on December 20, 2024. While the terms of the settlement are confidential, Chegg’s decision to settle the lawsuit was driven by the expense, burden and uncertainty of ongoing protracted litigation.

On June 18, 2020, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding certain alleged deceptive or unfair acts or practices related to consumer privacy and/or data security. On October 31, 2022, the FTC published the parties’ agreed-upon consent order regarding Chegg’s privacy and data security practices. On January 27, 2023, the FTC finalized its order (Final Order) requiring Chegg to implement a comprehensive information security program, limit the data the Company can collect and retain, offer users multi factor authentication to secure their accounts, and allow users to request access to and delete their data. We have cooperated with the FTC on their investigation into our implementation of the final order and expect to resolve the matter to the parties' satisfaction and without any requirements or payments.

We have also been cooperating with the FTC with respect to another CID (the "ROSCA CID") relating to our compliance with the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act. The investigation concerns certain of our practices related to online transactions and consumer cancellation options. We have entered into a settlement agreement with the FTC in connection with the ROSCA CID, which remains subject to both FTC and court approval, containing injunctive provisions and a monetary component of $7.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a $7.5 million contingent liability included within accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and as a general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We record a contingent liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, we record an insurance loss recovery up to the recognized loss contingency when realization is probable. Related to the above matters, as of June 30, 2025, the net impact of contingent liabilities less the related insurance loss recovery is $14.5 million. For those matters upon which we have sufficient insurance coverage, we have recorded contingent liabilities within accrued liabilities and the loss recovery from insurance within other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are not aware of any other pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, which are expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Our analysis of whether a claim will proceed to litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, nor can the results of litigation be predicted with certainty. Nevertheless, defending any of these actions, regardless of the outcome, may be costly, time consuming, distract management personnel and have a negative effect on our business. In the ordinary course of business and for certain of the above matters, we are actively pursuing all avenues and strategies to resolve these matters, including available legal remedies, remediation and settlement negotiations with the parties. An adverse outcome in any of these actions, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on our future business, operating results or financial condition.

Note 9. Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while such persons are or were serving at our request in such capacity. We may terminate the indemnification agreements with these persons upon termination of employment, but termination will not affect claims for indemnification related to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. We have a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy that covers our potential exposure up to the limits of our insurance coverage. In addition, we also have other indemnification agreements with various vendors against certain claims, liabilities, losses, and damages. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited.

We believe the fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. We have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of June 30, 2025.

Stock Plans

Amended 2023 Equity Incentive Plan

On April 7, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 EIP”), which was subsequently approved by our stockholders and became effective on June 7, 2023, replacing our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). On the effective date of the 2023 EIP,12,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance. On June 6, 2023, the date on which the 2013 Plan expired, all remaining shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan were cancelled, and we will not make any additional grants under the 2013 Plan. In addition, any shares subject to awards, including shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Plan that were outstanding on June 7, 2023, that are cancelled, forfeited, repurchased, expire by their terms without shares being issued, are used to pay the exercise price of an option or stock appreciation right or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award, will be returned to the pool of shares available for grant and issuance under the 2023 EIP. On April 17, 2025, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the 2023 EIP, which was subsequently approved by our stockholders and became effective on June 4, 2025. The amendment to the 2023 EIP increases our common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by 5,000,000 shares. The 2023 EIP permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, RSUs, restricted stock awards, stock bonus awards, stock appreciation rights and performance awards. The 2023 EIP terminates on April 7, 2033. As of June 30, 2025, there were 11,141,440 shares available for grant under the 2023 EIP.

Amended and Restated 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On April 7, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted our Amended and Restated 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “A&R ESPP”), which was subsequently approved by our stockholders and became effective on June 7, 2023. The A&R ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock by accumulating funds through periodic payroll deductions. The A&R ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code. Under the A&R ESPP, eligible employees will be granted an option to purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount to the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period or (ii) the last day of each purchase period in the applicable offering period. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors shall determine the duration and commencement date of each offering period, provided that an offering period shall in no event be longer than twenty-seven (27) months, except as otherwise provided by an applicable sub-plan. Upon approval of the A&R ESPP, the available share pool under our existing 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was reduced, and we have reserved 4,000,000 shares of our common stock under the A&R ESPP. As of June 30, 2025, there were 2,448,986 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the A&R ESPP.

2023 Equity Inducement Plan

On October 11, 2023, our Board of Directors approved and adopted our 2023 Equity Inducement Plan (the “2023 EINP”). On the effective date of the 2023 EINP,2,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance and as of June 30, 2025, there were 1,466,489 shares of common stock available for future issuance. The 2023 EINP permits the granting of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock unit awards. The 2023 EINP terminates on the later of (i) October 11, 2033 or (ii)ten years from the last date that additional shares are added to the EINP by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 2,115,952 shares of our common stock related to the final delivery of our November 2023 accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement. The November 2023 ASR settled, and we were not required to make any additional cash payments or delivery of common stock to the financial institution upon settlement.

Securities Repurchase Program

Note 13. Segment Information

Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer who makes resource allocation decisions and reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, we have determined that we have a single operating and reportable segment and operating unit structure.

Our chief operating decision maker uses net loss in assessing performance and determining how to allocate resources and is regularly provided with cost of revenues, paid marketing expenses, and consolidated operating expenses when reviewing financial information as part of the annual budgeting and forecasting process as well as the review over quarterly budget to actual variances.
