(In thousands, except for share and per share data)

Note 1. General

Overview

On October 25, 2022, the Company changed its name to XWELL, Inc. (“XWELL” or the “Company”) from XpresSpa Group, Inc. The Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which had previously been listed under the trading symbol “XSPA” on the Nasdaq Capital Market, now trades under the trading symbol “XWEL” since the opening of the trading market on October 25, 2022. In pursuance, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 24, 2022 (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”).

The Certificate of Elimination (i) eliminated the previous designation of 6,968 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which were outstanding at the time of filing, (ii) eliminated the previous designation of 500,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which were outstanding at the time of filing, (iii) eliminated the previous designation of 2,397,060 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which were outstanding at the time of filing, (iv) eliminated the previous designation of 9,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which were outstanding at the time of filing, (v) caused such shares of Eliminated Preferred Stock to resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company and (vi) eliminated all reference to the Eliminated Preferred Stock from the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and effective prior to the effective time of the Amended and Restated Certificate.

XWELL is a global wellness company operating multiple brands and focused on bringing restorative, regenerative and reinvigorating products and services to travelers. XWELL currently hasfour reportable operating segments: XpresSpa®, XpresTest®, Naples Wax Center and Treat™.

XWELL’s subsidiary, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC (“XpresSpa”) has been a global airport retailer of spa services through its XpresSpa spa locations, offering travelers premium spa services, including massage, nail and skin care, as well as spa and travel products. Most of XpresSpa spa locations were closed between March 2020 and September 2021, largely due to the airport traffic remaining at insufficient levels to support operations at a unit level.

As of December 31, 2023, there were 21 domestic XpresSpa locations in total,19 Company owned and 2 franchises. The Company also had 11 international locations operating as of December 31, 2023, includingtwo XpresSpa locations in Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates, one XpresSpa location in Zayad International Airport in Abu Dhabi UAE, three XpresSpa locations in Schiphol Amsterdam Airport in the Netherlands andfive XpresSpa locations in Istanbul Airport in Turkey.

XWELL’s subsidiary, XpresTest, in partnership with certain COVID-19 testing partners, successfully launched its XpresCheck Wellness Centers through its XpresTest, Inc. subsidiary (“XpresTest”), which offered COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services to the traveling public, as well as airline, airport and concessionaire employees, and TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents during the pandemic. During 2022 and 2023, as countries continued to relax their testing requirements resulting in rapid decline of testing volumes at the Company’s XpresCheck locations, the Company closed XpresCheck Wellness Centers. As of December 31, 2023, all XpresCheck locations are closed.

XWELL’s subsidiary, gcg Connect, LLC, operating as HyperPointe, provides direct to business marketing support across a number of health and health-related channels. From the creation of marketing campaigns for the pharmaceutical industry, to learning management systems to website and health related content creation, HyperPointe is a complementary service provider to XWELL’s health-focused brands as well as providing the majority of services to the external community.

For reporting purposes, the former HyperPointe segment has been consolidated into the XpresTest segment.

XWELL’s subsidiary Treat, Inc. (“Treat”) is a wellness brand that provides access to wellness services for travelers at on-site centers (currently located in JFK International Airport and in Salt Lake City International Airport).

In 2022, Treat opened a new location in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport but by the fourth quarter of 2022, the decision was made to close this location. The remaining Treat locations offer a full retail product offering and a suite of wellness and spa services. Travelers can purchase time blocks to use our wellness rooms to engage in interactive services like self-guided yoga, meditation and low impact weight exercises or to relax and unplug from the hectic pace of the airport and renew themselves before or after their trip.

XWELL’s subsidiary Naples Wax Center, LLC, which was acquired on September 12, 2023, for a purchase price of $1,624 operates a group of upscale hair removal boutiques in Florida. There are currently three Naples Wax Center locations with core products and service offerings from face and body waxing to a range of skincare and cosmetic products.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $8,437 of cash and cash equivalents, $14,613 in marketable securities, and total current assets of approximately $26,566. The Company’s total current liabilities balance, which includes accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued expenses, and operating lease liabilities was approximately $9,330 as of December 31, 2023.

The Company is aggressively pursuing strategic partnerships that the Company expects will further strengthen the long-term profitability of the business, which puts the Company in a position of strength as the Company raise more capital.

Note 2. Accounting and Reporting Policies

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly owned by the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the Company’s long-lived assets, intangibles assets, the useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, deferred tax assets and liabilities, income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies.

Translation into United States dollars

The Company conducts certain transactions in foreign currencies, which are recorded at the exchange rate as of the transaction date. All exchange gains and losses occurring from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are deemed non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $738 and $664, respectively, in exchange losses occurring from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies.

Accounts of the foreign subsidiaries of XpresSpa are translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities have been translated primarily at year end exchange rates and revenues and expenses have been translated at average monthly rates for the year. The translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates are included as foreign currency translation within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains cash in checking and money market accounts with financial institutions. The Company has established guidelines relating to diversification and maturities of its investments in order to minimize credit risk and maintain high liquidity of funds. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the time they are acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had $4,025 of such investments as of December 31, 2023 and $1,885 as of December 31, 2022.

Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivables are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for credit loss. The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for an allowance for credit loss based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit loss when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company didnot write off any accounts receivable. The Company did not record an allowance for credit loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Inventory

All inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a weighted-average cost method.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, and technology, which were primarily acquired as part of the acquisition of XpresSpa in December 2016, HyperPointe in 2022 and Naples Wax Center in 2023 and were recorded based on the estimated fair value in purchase price allocation. In addition, intangible assets include software and website development costs that were capitalized as part of the Company’s development of a mobile application and website for the Treat brand. The Company accounts for these costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are periodically evaluated for reasonableness.

The Company’s intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value is then compared to the carrying value and an impairment charge is recognized by the amount in which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s intangible assets, the Company must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and also the magnitude of any such charge. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized impairment of $2,768 and $110 respectively.

The Company also impaired intangible assets pertaining to its Treat and XpresTest segments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and primarily consists of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and other operating equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or economic useful life. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of the Company’s assets are capitalized over the lesser of the extension period or life of the improvement.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level at which there are identifiable operating cash flows, which is at the individual airport location for the XpresSpa and XpresTest businesses. The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of leasehold improvements and right to use lease assets for each of its airport locations (considered the asset group). The Company reviews its long-lived assets for recoverability yearly or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If indicators are present, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset group in question to its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized if it is determined that the long-lived asset group is not recoverable and is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group over the long-lived asset groups fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of long-lived assets using present value income approach. Future cash flow was calculated based on forecasts over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset group, which for each of the Company’s airport locations, is the remaining term of the operating lease.

The Company completed an assessment of its property and equipment and operating lease right of use assets for impairment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Based upon the results of the impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment expense related to property and equipment of $1,159 and $4,559 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment expense related to operating lease right of use assets and $926, and $1,110 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Both impairment charges are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The expense was primarily related to the impairment of leasehold improvements made to the Company’s Treat and Spa locations and its operating lease right of use assets where

management determined that the locations discounted future cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of these assets over the remaining lease term.

Leases

The right of use asset (“ROU”) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet represents a lessee’s right to use an asset over the life of a lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, minus any lease incentives received. The amortization period for the right of use asset is from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the end of the useful life of the asset. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected to exclude all short-term leases (i.e, leases with term of 12 months or less) from recognition on the balance sheet.

The Company’s lease liabilities are determined by calculating the present value of all future lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease if it can be readily determined, or the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the inception of the lease to determine the present value of future lease payments as the rate implicit in its leases could not be readily determined.

Certain leases provide for contingent rents that are not measurable at inception. These contingent rents are primarily based on a percentage of sales that are in excess of a predetermined level, an increase based on a change in the consumer price index or fair market value. These amounts are excluded from the calculation of the right of use asset and lease liability under ASC 842. Minimum rent under these leases is included in the determination of rent expense when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash, which is listed as a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheets, represents balances at financial institutions to secure bonds and letters of credit as required by the Company’s various lease agreements.

Equity investments

Equity investments are carried at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASU 2016-01. The Company will perform a qualitative assessment on an annual basis and recognize impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value. As of the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment.

Revenue recognition

XpresSpa, Treat and Naples Wax Center

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services when the services are rendered at XpresSpa, Treat, and Naples Wax Centers locations and from the sale of products at the time products are purchased at the Company’s stores or online usually by credit card, net of discounts and applicable sales taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for the Company’s single performance obligation related to both in-store and online sales at the point at which the service has been performed or the control of the merchandise has passed to the customer. Revenues from the e-commerce business are recorded at the time goods are shipped.

XpresTest

During the third quarter of 2022, XpresTest, in partnership with Ginkgo BioWorks in continuation of their support to the CDC’s traveler-based SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program was awarded a new contract. The partnership is expected to support public health and biosecurity services totaling approximately $16,000, with an overall potential to exceed $61,000 based on CDC program options and public health priorities. As COVID-19 sub-variants and other biological threats continue to emerge, the partners plan to expand the program footprint and incorporate innovative modalities and offerings, such as monitoring of wastewater from aircraft lavatories. The current contract with Ginkgo BioWorks related to the above partnership contains fixed pricing for which the Company is entitled to $6,674 for the sample collection (passenger and aircraft wastewater) and $370 for the traveler enrollment initiatives, which represents the amount of consideration that we are entitled. The Company recognizes revenue over time for both sample collection performance obligations, using the input method based on time elapsed to measure progress towards satisfying each of the performance obligations. We recognized the revenue for the traveler enrollment initiative performance obligation in the second quarter of 2023. The Company recognizes revenue ratably (straight line basis) over the term of the contract (one year). The Company recorded $7,521 and $2,617, in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to sample collection performance obligations because the Company’s efforts towards satisfying each of the performance obligations are expended evenly throughout the period of performance.

HyperPointe

The Company’s HyperPointe business provides broad range of service and support options for HyperPointe’s customers, including technical support services and advanced services. Technical support services represent the majority of these offerings which are distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over time with revenue recognized ratably over the contract term. Advanced services are distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over time with revenue recognized as services are delivered. Revenue billed in advance are treated as deferred revenue which was $72 and $322 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company excludes all sales taxes assessed to our customers from revenue. Sales taxes assessed on revenues are included inAccrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets until remitted to state agencies.

Gift cards, customer rewards and prepaid packages

XWELL offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. No revenue is recognized upon issuance of a gift card and a liability is established for the gift card’s cash value. The liability is relieved, and revenue is recognized upon redemption by the customer. As the gift cards have no expiration date, there is no provision for the reduction in the value of unused card balances.

In addition, XWELL maintains a rewards program in which customers earn loyalty points, which can be redeemed for future services. Loyalty points are rewarded upon joining the loyalty program, for customer birthdays, and based upon customer spending. When a customer redeems loyalty points, the Company recognizes revenue for the redeemed cash value and reduces the related loyalty program liability. In 2023 the Company adopted a formal expiration policy whereby any loyalty members with inactivity for an 18-month period will forfeit any unused loyalty rewards.

The costs associated with gift cards and reward points are accrued as the rewards are earned by the cardholder and are included inAccrued expenses and other current liabilitiesin the consolidated balance sheets until used.

Naples Wax Center offers prepaid wax packages that are either unlimited for one year or a set number of services. When the packages are purchased, the sales are recorded as deferred revenue. As services related to prepaid packages are used,

revenue is recognized as income. The deferred revenue as of September 12, 2023, when Naples Wax Center was acquired was $811 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 deferred revenue was $778.

Segment reporting

ASC 280,Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. The Company currently hasfour reportable operating segments: XpresSpa. XpresTest, Naples Wax Center and Treat. See Note 15. Segment Information.

There are currently no intersegment revenues. Asset information by operating segment is presented below since the chief operating decision maker reviews this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Pre-opening costs

Pre-opening and start-up activity costs, which include rent and occupancy, supplies, advertising, and other direct expenses incurred prior to the opening of a new store, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists of location operating costs. These costs include all costs that are directly attributable to the location’s operations and include:

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and such cost is measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity-settled award. The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model. The fair value of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is calculated as of the date of grant using the grant date closing share price multiplied by the number of RSUs granted. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term of options due to insufficient history and high turnover

in the past. Expected volatility is estimated based on a weighted average historical volatility of the Company. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve as of the date of grant. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company issues new stock to deliver shares under its Equity Plan.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized. Tax benefits related to excess deductions on stock-based compensation arrangements are recognized when they reduce taxes payable.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company looks at cumulative losses in recent years, estimates of future taxable earnings, feasibility of tax planning strategies, the ability to realize tax benefit carryforwards, and other relevant information. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable earnings. Ultimately, the actual tax benefits to be realized will be based upon future taxable earnings levels, which are very difficult to predict. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates in future periods, the Company will be required to adjust the valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company hadno uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling holders’ percentage share of earnings or losses from; i) the subsidiaries, in which the Company holds a majority, but less than 100%, ownership interest, ii) Variable Interest Entities, where the Company is a primary beneficiary (See sub noteVariable Interest Entities below, and the results of which are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the proportionate share of the noncontrolling holders’ ownership in certain subsidiaries of XpresSpa and of XpresTest.

Net income/(loss) per common share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock plus dilutive potential Common Stock considered outstanding during the period.

Commitments and contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that

may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are expensed as incurred.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual, pecuniary, and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex and involve judgment. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.

As of the year ended December 31, 2023, there wereno VIE’s remaining.

Business Combinations

The Company uses the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to use the acquisition method of accounting by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the aforementioned amounts.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately apply preliminary values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including estimates for intangible assets. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates that have been made are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets the Company has acquired include future expected cash flows, and discount rates.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the cost of a business acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more

likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the company performs a quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and that excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company identified a triggering event, related to the Goodwill associated with XpresTest’s HyperPointe business, and as a result recognized an impairment charge of$4,024, which is in the Goodwill impairment on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately$696 and$4,645 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Fair value measurements

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received by selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Level 2: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Reclassification

Certain balances in the 2022 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the 2023 consolidated financial statements, primarily the separate classification and presentation of general and administrative, salaries and benefits, impairments and loss on disposal of assets. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06—Debt--Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)

Issued in August 2020, this update is intended to reduce the unnecessary complexity of the current guidance thus resulting in more accurate accounting for convertible instruments and consistent treatment from one entity to the next. Under current GAAP, there are five accounting models for convertible debt instruments. Except for the traditional convertible debt model that recognizes a convertible debt instrument as a single debt instrument, the other four models, with their different measurement guidance, require that a convertible debt instrument be separated (using different separation approaches) into a debt component and an equity or a derivative component. Convertible preferred stock also is required to be assessed under similar models. The Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) decided to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models currently included in other accounting guidance that were being applied to current accounting for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in this update, an embedded conversion feature no longer needs to be separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The FASB also decided to add additional disclosure requirements in an attempt to improve the usefulness and relevance of the information being provided. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options’” (“ASU 2021-04”), which introduces a new way for companies to account for warrants either as stock compensation or derivatives. Under the new guidance, if the modification does not change the instrument’s classification as equity, the company accounts for the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. In general, if the fair value of the “new” instrument is greater than the fair value of the “original” instrument, the excess is recognized based on the substance of the transaction, as if the issuer has paid cash. The effective date of the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 for all entities. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business acquisition to be recognized and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, which the Company generally expects will result in the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities in a manner that is consistent with the acquiree. For the Company, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of

significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating segment expense disclosures related to its annual report for fiscal year 2024.

ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating income tax disclosures related to its annual report for fiscal year 2025.

Note 3. Net earnings/(loss) per Share of Common Stock

The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted (losses)/net earnings per common share:

Reverse Stock Split

On September 28, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, whereby every twenty shares of its Common Stock were reduced to one share of its Common Stock and the price per share of its Common Stock was multiplied by 20. All references to shares and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Note 4. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such cash denominated in United States dollars may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, deposits in excess of FDIC limits were $4,195 and $16,069. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held cash balances in overseas accounts, totaling $2,395 and $2,562 respectively, which are not insured by the FDIC. If the Company were to distribute the amounts held overseas, the Company would need to follow an approval and distribution process as defined in its operating and partnership agreements, which may delay and/or reduce the availability of that cash to the Company.

Note 5. Other Current Assets

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s other current assets were comprised of the following:

Prepaid expenses are predominantly comprised of financed and prepaid insurance policies which have terms of one year or less.

Note 6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are comprised of three categories: leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and other operating equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows:

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of remaining lease term or economic useful life (which is on average 5-8 years).

The fair values of the Company’s asset groups were determined using the income approach. The income approach incorporated the use of a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for the Company were discounted to a present value using a discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate in turn is based on the specific risk characteristics of the Company, the weighted average cost of capital and its underlying forecast.

The Company performed assessments of its property and equipment for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and based upon the results of the impairment tests, the Company recorded impairment expenses of approximately $1,159 and $4,559, respectively, which is included in Impairment of long-lived assets on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The impairment expense is primarily related to the underperformance of the Company’s Treat locations at the JFK and Salt Lake City airports.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $825 and $3,663 respectively of depreciation expense.

Note 7. Other Assets

Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the equity investment in Route1 had a readily determinable fair value of $50 and $104, respectively. The Company recorded an unrealized loss of $54 in 2023 and an unrealized loss of $618 in 2022, in connection with the remeasurement of the shares of our common stock of Route1 it obtained in the 2018 sale of Group Mobile to Route1. The loss/gain is included inOther non-operating income (expense), neton the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Also included in Other assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $1,556 and $1,973, respectively, of security deposits made pursuant to various lease agreements, which will be returned to the Company at the end of the leases.

Note 8. Intangible Assets

The following table provides information regarding the Company’s intangible assets, which consist of the following:

The Company’s trade names and customer relationships relates to the Naples Wax Center, software relates to certain capitalized third-party costs related to a new website and a point-of-sale system, and licenses relates to certain capitalized costs of foreign acquisition.

The fair values of the Company’s long-lived assets were determined using the income approach. The income approach incorporated the use of a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for the Company were discounted to a present value using a discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate in turn is based on the specific risk characteristics of the Company, the weighted average cost of capital and its underlying forecast.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment of $2,768 related to trade names, customer relationships and software which is included in Impairment of long-lived assets on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment of $110 related to software. The increase in impairment expense of intangible assets is primarily related to XpresTest’s HyperPointe business and Treat.

The Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful lives, which issix years for trade names andfive andthree years for software, whereas the intangibles obtained because of the Naples Wax Center acquisition have an estimated life of 5 to 12 years. During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $1,240 and $1,766 respectively related to its intangible assets.

Estimated amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets at December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Note 9. Acquisition of Naples Wax, LLC

On September 12, 2023, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in Naples Wax, LLC, d/b/a Naples Wax Centers, a Florida limited liability company (“Naples Wax”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,624, of which $1,574 was paid in cash at closing. The remaining $50 will be held forsix months as a holdback to cover any potential indemnification claims and included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to use the acquisition method of accounting by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the aforementioned amounts.

While the company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately apply preliminary values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting for business combinations requires management to make estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including estimates for intangible assets. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates that have been made are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets the Company has acquired include future expected cash flows, and discount rates.

For income tax purposes, this acquisition of 100% of the units is treated as an asset acquisition. As a result of the acquisition of Naples Wax, the company generated tax deductible goodwill of $1.371 million.

Determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment.

The fair value of intangible assets other than Goodwill was determined primarily using income approaches. This included estimated multi-period excess earnings valuation method for Customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty valuation for the tradename.

The following table sets forth the significant assumptions utilized when valuing the Customer Relationships:

The following table sets forth the significant assumptions utilized when valuing the Tradename:

Note 10. Leases

The Company leases spa and clinic locations at various domestic and international airports. Additionally, the Company leases its corporate office in New York City and other off airport locations in various US cities. Certain leases entered into by the Company are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and if it qualifies under ASC 842. The Company’s lease arrangements generally contain fixed payments throughout the term of the lease and most also contain a variable component to determine the lease obligation where a certain percentage of sales is used to calculate the lease payments. The Company enters into leases that expire, are amended and extended, or are extended on a month-to-month basis. Leases are not included in the calculation of the total lease liability and the right of use asset when they are month-to-month.

All qualifying leases held by the Company are classified as operating leases. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company records its operating lease assets and liabilities based on required guaranteed payments under each lease agreement. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which the Company can borrow funds on a secured basis, using the information available at commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of guaranteed lease payments. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where a company is the lessee.

The Company reviews all of its existing lease agreements to determine whether there were any modifications to lease agreements and to assess if any agreements should be accounted for pursuant to the guidance in ASC 842.

The following is a summary of the activity in the Company’s current and long-term operating lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

As of December 31, 2023, future minimum operating leases commitments are as follows:

Other assumptions and pertinent information related to the Company’s accounting for operating leases are:

Cash paid for minimum annual rental obligations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were $2,018 and $928 respectively.

Variable lease payments calculated monthly as a percentage of a product and services revenue were $1,326 and $1,392 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Rent expense for operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $3,824 and $3,917, respectively.

The Company performed assessments of its right of use lease assets for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Based upon the results of the impairment tests, the Company recorded impairment expenses of approximately $926 and $1,110 which is included in Impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Note 11. Long-term Notes and Convertible Notes

Paycheck Protection Program

On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP”) promissory note in the principal amount of $5,653 payable to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) evidencing a PPP loan (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum. No payments were due

on the PPP Loan during asix-month deferral period commencing on May 2, 2020. Commencing one month after the expiration of the deferral period and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date of the PPP Loan, the Company was obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest, each in such equal amount required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan by the maturity date, which was May 2, 2022. The PPP loan balance was $3,584 as of December 31, 2021. The PPP loan was paid off in full on the maturity date of May 2, 2022.

Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants

2023 Reverse Stock Split

On September 28, 2023, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), whereby every twenty shares of our common stock were reduced to one share of our common stock and the price per share of our common stock was multiplied by 20. All references to shares and per share amounts, including shares of common stock underlying stock options, warrants, and applicable exercise prices, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented herein to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split as required in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 31, 2021, the Company’s board of directors initially authorized a stock repurchase program that permitted the purchase and repurchase of up to 15 million shares of its common stock through September 15, 2022. In May 2022, the Board increased the share repurchase program by an additional 10 million shares and extended its effectiveness through September 15, 2023. Under this stock repurchase program, management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Board share repurchase program expired September 15, 2023.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. Exceptions may apply, for example, if the repurchases are less than $1,000 or issued to employees. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Warrants

The following table represents the activity related to the Company’s warrants during the year ended December 31, 2023:

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy exists, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are:

**Level 1:**Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

**Level 2:**Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.

**Level 3:**Unobservable inputs, that are supported by little or no market activity and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. For example, inputs derived through extrapolation or interpolation that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to tangible property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets. Recoverability is based on estimated undiscounted cash flows or other relevant observable/unobservable measures. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference

is included in Impairment of long-lived assets and Impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In addition to the above, the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of all the aforementioned financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair values of the Company’s asset groups were determined using the income approach. The income approach incorporated the use of a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for the Company were discounted to a present value using a discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate in turn is based on the specific risk characteristics of the Company, the weighted average cost of capital and its underlying forecast.

Note 14. Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options and RSUs to the Company’s directors, employees and consultants.

In September 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options, restricted stock and Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) aggregating to 250,000 shares of Common Stock, to the Company’s directors, employees and consultants. Shareholder approval of the plan was subsequently obtained on October 28, 2020. On October 4, 2022, shareholders approvedthe amendment to the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the

number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 375,000 shares of Common Stock to an aggregate of 625,000 shares. Under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), a maximum of 249,899 shares of Common Stock remained available for issuance as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s previous Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) was terminated upon receipt of shareholder approval of the 2020 Plan. Awards granted under the 2012 Plan remain in effect pursuant to their terms. Generally, stock options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, vest infour equal quarterly installments, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. RSU’s granted generally vest over a period ofone year.

In September 2020, XpresTest created a stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options, restricted stock and RSU’s to the XpresTest’s directors, employees and consultants. Under the XpresTest 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “XpresTest Plan”), a maximum of 200 shares of XpresTest common stock may be awarded, which would represent 20% of the total number of shares of common stock of XpresTest as of December 31, 2023. Certain named executive officers, consultants, and directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the XpresTest Plan. The XpresTest Plan RSAs vest upon satisfaction of certain service and performance-based conditions. The fair value of the XpresTest Plan RSAs is determined based on the weighted average of (i) Fair Value of XpresTest under the Indirect Valuation Method developing assumptions for XpresSpa Net Market Cap and XpresSpa standalone Fair Value, and (ii) Direct Valuation Method developing assumptions for XpresTest Representative Forecasted Revenue for 2021 and Peer companies Revenue’s Multiples.

Awards granted under the 2012 Plan remain in effect pursuant to their terms. Generally, stock options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, vest infour equal quarterly installments, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. RSU’s granted generally vest over a period ofone year.

In September 2020, XpresTest created a stock-based compensation plan available to grant stock options, Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and RSU’s to XpresTest’s directors, employees and consultants. Under the XpresTest 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “XpresTest Plan”), a maximum of 200 shares of XpresTest common stock may be awarded, which would represent 20% of the total number of shares of common stock of XpresTest as of September 30, 2023. Certain named executive officers, consultants, and directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the XpresTest Plan. As of December 31, 2023, there is $96 of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to the XpresTest Plan.

The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term of options due to insufficient history and high turnover in the past.

The following variables were used as inputs in the model:

Total stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,319 and $3,770 respectively.

The following tables summarize information about stock options and RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2023:

The following tables summarize information about stock options and RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2022:

The weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 7.71 years and 7.83 years, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, Aggregate Intrinsic Value of Options Outstanding and Vested was $0. As of December 31, 2022, Aggregate Intrinsic Value of Options Outstanding and Vested was$0.

Unrecognized stock-based payment cost related to non-vested stock options as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $1,246 and $2,506, respectively.

The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company’s segments through operating income. Expenses that can be specifically identified with a segment have been included as deductions in determining operating income. Any remaining expenses and other charges are included in Corporate and Other.

The Company currently operates intwo geographical regions: United States and all other countries, which include Netherlands, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. The following table represents the geographical revenue, and total long-lived asset information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. There were no concentrations of geographical revenue and long-lived assets related to any single foreign country that were material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, restricted cash, equity investments, security deposits, right of use lease assets and goodwill.

The Company’s continuing operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the enterprise’s CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Long-lived assets includes property and equipment, right of use lease assets, security deposits, equity investments, goodwill and restricted cash.

The Company performed impairment assessments of long-lived assets and operating lease right-of-use asset for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Note 16. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s accrued expenses and other current liabilities were comprised of the following:

Note 17. Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the loss before income taxes consisted of the following:

Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:

Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the applicable United States federal income tax rate to loss from continuing operations before taxes on income as a result of the following:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred income tax assets by considering whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets, as it is in the opinion of management that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) will not be utilized in the foreseeable future.

The cumulative valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 is $69,424 which will be reduced if and when the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s estimated aggregate total NOLs were $150,926 for U.S. federal purposes, expiring 20 years from the respective tax years to which they relate, and $97,968 for U.S. federal purposes with an indefinite life due to new regulations in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The NOL amounts are presented before Internal Revenue Code, Section 382 limitations (“Section 382”). The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposed substantial restrictions on the utilization of NOL and tax credits in the event of an ownership change of a corporation. Thus, the Company’s ability to utilize all such NOL and credit carryforwards may be limited. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or “CARES Act” was enacted subsequent to the December 31, 2019 period, on March 27, 2020. The CARES act provided for favorable business provisions. However, the Company does not anticipate the income tax provision changes to materially benefit the Company.

The Company files its tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in various state and local jurisdictions. The company is not currently under audit in any taxing jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations for audit consideration is 3 years from the filing date, and generally states implement a statute of limitations between 3 and 5 years.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Certain of the Company’s outstanding legal matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company regularly evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of any potential liability and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being any potential liability and the estimated amount of a loss related to the Company’s legal matters.

With respect to the Company’s outstanding legal matters, based on its current knowledge, the Company’s management believes that the amount or range of a potential loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. The Company evaluated the outstanding legal matters and assessed the probability and likelihood of the occurrence of liability. Based on management’s estimates, the Company has recorded accruals of $449 and $963 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively, which is included inAccrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company expenses legal fees in the period in which they are incurred.

OTG Management PHL B v. XpresSpa Philadelphia Terminal B et al.

On May 9, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by OTG Management at Philadelphia International Airport, claiming that XWELL improperly backed out of its sublease for space at Terminal B and now owes between $864 and $2,250 in accelerated rent for the 12-year contract. They claim that by refusing to complete the project, failing to commence and maintain operations, refusing to pay rent and improperly purporting to terminate the lease (among other acts and omissions), XWELL breached the lease. On January 9, 2024, the court placed the matter on Civil Suspense.

In addition to those matters specifically set forth herein, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, a significant increase in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims under which the Company incurs greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In the event that an action is brought against the Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Company will investigate the allegation and vigorously defend itself.

Note 19. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company concluded that in the prior quarter it had not appropriately accounted for the impairment of long-lived assets. These errors led to an understatement of impairment expenses and an overstatement of long-lived assets during the impacted periods.

The Company’s management and in agreement with the audit committee have determined that the previously issued unaudited financial statements for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 “the Affected period” should no longer be relied upon due to this error and require restatement. The financial effect of this error from previously reported information for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, resulted in an increase in net loss of $1,613, primarily as a result of additional impairment expense on the Company’s Treat segment right-of-use and fixed assets.

The following presents a reconciliation of the impacted financial statements as filed to the restated amounts as of September 30, 2023. The previously reported amounts reflect those included in the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023.

The amounts labelled as “Restated” represent the effects of this restatement due to additional impairment expense on the Company’s Treat segment right-of-use and fixed assets.
