Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Company and Background

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, 2026, our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 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, 2025 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed with the SEC.

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.

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, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments are used for, but not limited to: revenue recognition, share-based compensation expense, accounting for income taxes, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets for depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, and internal-use software and website development costs. 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, 2026 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, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-12, Codification Improvements. ASU 2025-12 makes incremental improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. We did not early adopt ASU 2025-12 and we are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting - Narrow Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 improves the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We did not early adopt ASU 2025-11 and we are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under ASC 350-40 and 350-50 by removing references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requiring capitalization of software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and used as intended. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance may be applied on either a prospective, retrospective or modified basis. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual periods. We did not early adopt ASU 2025-06 and we are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance will be applied prospectively with the option to apply retrospectively. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We did not early adopt ASU 2024-03 and we are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. ASU 2025-05 introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient, which did not significantly impact our financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASU 2024-04 improves the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance requirements in ASC 470-20 for convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features and debt instruments that are not currently convertible, when the face value of the debt is settled in cash. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2024-04 on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and applied the guidance to applicable transactions occurring after the adoption date including the partial repurchase of our convertible senior notes in February 2026. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the partial repurchase of the convertible senior notes should not be accounted for as an induced conversion as they did not contain a substantive conversion option as of the date of the repurchase.

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 was determined based on the trading price as of the last day of trading for the period and we consider it to be a Level 2 measurement due to the limited trading activity. The estimated fair value of the 2026 notes as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $32.6 million and $45.0 million, respectively. For further information on the 2026 notes, refer to Note 6, “Convertible Senior Notes.”

Note 6. Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due in 2026 (2026 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. As of June 30, 2026, the total principal amount of 2026 notes outstanding was $33.9 million and 9,297,800 shares remained underlying the 2026 notes.

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. On or after June 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the circumstances. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. As of June 30, 2026, the 2026 notes were classified as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as they are convertible at the option of the holders at any time beginning June 1, 2026. We expect to settle any 2026 notes conversion requests in shares of our common stock.

In February 2026, in connection with our securities repurchase program, we extinguished $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 notes in privately-negotiated transactions for a total consideration of $19.4 million, which was paid to the holders in cash. We also incurred an immaterial amount of fees resulting in a total reacquisition price of $19.5 million. The carrying amount of the extinguished notes was $20.0 million resulting in a $0.5 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 2026 notes (in thousands):

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, 2026, 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 7. Commitments and Contingencies

We may from time to time be involved in certain legal proceedings and regulatory compliance matters in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights; employment claims; and contractual and related disputes brought through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. We may also, from time to time, be involved in 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 February 24, 2025, we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Google, asserting federal antitrust claims and common-law unjust enrichment claims, in connection with Google's expansion of its AI Overview ("AIO") search experience, and seeking damages, restitution, disgorgement, and injunctive relief. Google moved to dismiss the amended complaint on July 25, 2025. Given the nature of the case, including that the proceedings are in their early stages, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the case.

On December 22, 2022, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMC) asserted a demand for repayment by the Company of certain investment proceeds received by the Company in its capacity as an investor in TAPD, Inc. (more commonly known as “Frank”) pursuant to certain provisions in the existing Support Agreement between JPMC and the Company that was entered into in connection with JPMC's acquisition of Frank. JPMC alleged fraud on the part of certain former Frank executives regarding the quantity and quality of its customer accounts. On June 25, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with JPMC resolving all of JPMC's claims against the Company related to Frank.

As of June 30, 2026, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $2.0 million related to litigation settlement liabilities. 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 8. 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, 2026.

Note 9. Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 1,447,194 shares of our common stock for $1.7 million in open market transactions, which were retired immediately.

Note 10. Restructuring Charges
