Note 5 —Long-Term Debt

Convertible Senior Notes - 2026

On September 14, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of $750.0 million in principal amount of its 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due October 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture dated as of September 14, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchasers of the 2026 Notes, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the 2026 Notes were first issued, up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes issued on September 14, 2021 include the $100.0 million principal amount of 2026 Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchasers of such option.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased $75.0 million principal amount of its 2026 Notes at a weighted-average price equal to 77% for $57.8 million and recognized a net gain of $16.1 million, which includes $1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased $117.3 million principal amount of its 2026 Notes at a weighted-average price equal to 84% for $98.3 million and recognized a net gain of $17.3 million, which includes $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The total amount paid and net gain recognized to repurchase $192.3 million principal amount during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $156.1 million and $33.4 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased an additional $20.0 million principal amount of its 2026 Notes at a weighted-average price equal to 92% for $18.4 million and recognized a net gain of $1.5 million, which includes $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Convertible Senior Secured Notes - 2028

On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Exchanging Holders”) of the 2026 Notes (the “Existing Notes”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company exchanged and repurchased approximately $413.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes. Of the $413.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, $263.2 million principal amount were exchanged at a weighted-average price equal to 95% for $250.0 million principal amount of new 7.95% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”), and $150.1 million principal amount were repurchased at a weighted-average price equal to 95% for $142.6 million. The exchange and repurchase resulted in a net gain of $16.6 million, which includes $3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.9 million of other related fees.

On May 27, 2025, the Company issued the 2028 Notes to the Exchanging Holders. The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “2028 Indenture”), dated as of May 27, 2025, between the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent.

The 2028 Notes are the Company’s senior, secured obligations and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (including the Company’s material domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries) and are secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and such guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The 2028 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 7.95% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2025. The 2028 Notes will mature on November 15, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Subject to certain restrictions, noteholders may convert their 2028 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the Maturity Date. The initial conversion rate is 349.6503 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $2.86 per share of Class A Common Stock. The conversion rate and conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its Class A Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of its Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s election. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2028 Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The 2028 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after September 1, 2028, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the Maturity Date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the calling of any 2028 Notes for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that 2028 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2028 Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2028 Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2028 Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

The 2028 Indenture also contains a number of restrictive covenants and limitations, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur certain indebtedness and other limitations on liens, investments and restricted payments, as further described in the 2028 Indenture.

The Company incurred $10.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the exchange and repurchase of the Existing Notes, which was recorded as a reduction to convertible senior notes, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the 2028 Notes using the effective interest method. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.9 million of other fees related to the exchange and repurchase of the Existing Notes.

The following is a summary of the Company’s Notes for the periods indicated:

(in thousands)June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
2026 Notes$124,485$557,700
2028 Notes250,000—
Unamortized debt issuance costs(11,389)(5,502)
Convertible senior notes, net$363,096$552,198

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Notes were $392.3 million (compared to a carrying amount of$374.5 million) and $446.2 million (compared to a carrying amount of$557.7 million), respectively. The estimated fair value of the Notes was determined based on the actual bid price of the Notes on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The net gain recognized related to the exchange and repurchases is included in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Note 6 —Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to commercial disputes, product liability, and employment related matters. In addition, the Company may bring claims or initiate lawsuits from time to time against various third parties with respect to matters arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business, including but not limited to commercial and intellectual property related matters.

With respect to all such lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, if the Company determines a loss is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues an amount equal to the estimated loss. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success, and taking into account, among other things, negotiations with claimants, discovery, settlements and payments, judicial rulings, arbitration and mediation decisions, advice of internal and external legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Costs incurred for litigation are expensed as incurred.

For the matters we disclose that do not include an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses, such an estimate is not possible or is immaterial, and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from the application of non-monetary remedies. Until the final resolution of such matters, if any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, we may experience losses in excess of the amounts recorded, which could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Except as otherwise disclosed below, we believe that none of our pending lawsuits, claims, and other proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.

Securities Class Action

On November 16, 2023, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, its then-current President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Stanleick, its former Chief Financial Officer, Liyuan Woo, and its current Chief Financial Officer, Michael Monahan (the “Defendants”). The complaint, styled Abduladhim A. Alghazwi, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. The Beauty Health Company, Andrew Stanleick, Liyuan Woo, and Michael Monahan, Case No. 2:23-cv-09733 (C.D. Ca.) (the “Securities Class Action”), asserts claims for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants (First Claim), and violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants (Second Claim). The complaint alleges that, between May 10, 2022 and November 13, 2023, defendants materially misled the investing public by publicly issuing false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions relating to Hydrafacial's business, operations, and prospects, specifically with respect to the performance of and demand for the Syndeo 1.0 and 2.0 devices. The relief sought in the complaint includes a request for compensatory damages suffered by the plaintiff and other members of the putative class for damages allegedly sustained as a result of the alleged securities violations.

On January 16, 2024, putative class members Jeff and Kevin Brown (the “Browns”), Priscilla and Martjn Dijkgraaf (the “Dijkgraafs”), and Joseph Jou filed three competing motions for appointment as lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (“PSLRA”), 17 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(3). On January 31, 2024, Joseph Jou filed a notice of non-opposition to the Browns’ and Dijkgraafs’ motions for appointment as lead plaintiff. On May 2, 2024, the court granted the Dijkgraafs’ motion for appointment as lead plaintiff and approved the Dijkgraafs’ counsel, Hagens Berman, as lead counsel. On July 1, 2024, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint asserting the same causes of action as the original complaint. The Securities Class Action case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett. On September 30, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended class action complaint in its entirety. Plaintiffs filed their opposition brief on November 22, 2024, and the Company filed its reply brief on December 23, 2024. A hearing on the Defendants’ motion to dismiss was scheduled for January 15, 2025. On January 10, 2025, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to adjourn the January 15, 2025 hearing. On January 17, 2025, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to withdraw briefing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss without prejudice to refiling and to briefly stay proceedings so that the parties can complete a private mediation. The parties conducted the private mediation on March 27, 2025. The parties were unable to reach a settlement at the mediation. On April 16, 2025, the court so-ordered the parties’ stipulation. On May 5, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On July 11, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety. A hearing is scheduled on Defendants’ motion for September 17, 2025.

The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Securities Class Action have no merit and intends to vigorously defend them.

Consumer Class Action

On October 24, 2024, Jason Davalos (“Jason Davalos”), Sonia Davalos (“Sonia Davalos”, and collectively with Jason Davalos, the “Davaloses”), and Sol Tan Tanning & Spa LLC (“Sol Tan”, and collectively with the Davaloses, the “Class Action Plaintiffs”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against Hydrafacial LLC d/b/a The Hydrafacial Company and The Beauty Health Company (collectively, the “Class Action Defendants”) for alleged violations of New York consumer fraud statutes, breach of contract, and common law breach of implied warranties (the “Consumer Class Action”). The case is captioned Jason Davalos, Sonia Davalos, Sol Tan Tanning & Spa LLC, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. Hydrafacial LLC dba The Hydrafacial Company, and The Beauty Health Company, Case No. 24-cv-8073 (S.D.N.Y.) (Caproni, J.) The complaint alleges that all three versions of the Syndeo machine (Syndeo 1.0, Syndeo 2.0, and Syndeo 3.0) were defective and did not perform in the manner in which it had been represented by Class Action Defendants. Class Action Plaintiffs claim that Class Action Defendants made various misrepresentations in its marketing and sales of the Syndeo machines and, rather than provide a refund to customers for the defective machines, replaced them with another Syndeo machine that exhibited the same defects. Class Action Plaintiffs purport to bring claims on behalf of themselves, and all other similarly situated purchasers within the United States, of Class Action Defendants’ Syndeo machines. The complaint asserts five causes of action: (1) violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 349, the state consumer production statute; (2) violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 350, the state’s false advertising statute; (3) breach of contract; (4) breach of the implied warranty of merchantability; and (5) breach of the implied warranty of fitness. The relief sought in the complaint includes monetary damages allegedly suffered by Class Action Plaintiffs and other members of the putative class as a result of Class Action Defendants’ alleged violations and breaches, including a trebling of any money damages award for alleged violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 349 and § 350.

On December 30, 2024, the Class Action Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consumer Class Action complaint in its entirety. On January 3, 2025, the Class Action Defendants filed a motion to stay discovery during the pendency of their motion to dismiss. On January 8, 2025, the Davaloses voluntarily dismissed their claims against the Class Action Defendants pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i), leaving Plaintiff Sol Tan as the sole remaining Consumer Class Action Plaintiff. Plaintiff Sol Tan filed their opposition brief on January 9, 2025, and the Class Action Defendants filed their reply brief on January 13, 2025. On January 16, 2025, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to adjourn the January 17, 2025 initial pretrial conference and stay the action pending the parties’ completion of a private mediation. As part of its order, the court also (1) adjourned Plaintiff Sol Tan’s deadline to respond to the Class Action Defendants’ motion to dismiss sine die pending the outcome of mediation; (2) denied as moot the Class Action Defendants’ motion to stay discovery in light of the parties’ agreement to stay discovery pending the outcome of mediation; and (3) directed the parties to (a) file a joint letter on or before February 7, 2025, indicating the date (not later than May 8, 2025) on which the mediation is scheduled to occur; and (b) within seven days after the mediation, either (i) file a joint letter indicating that settlement was reached; or (ii) file a revised proposed case management plan and a revised joint letter required by the court’s Notice of Initial Pretrial Conference. On February 7, 2025, the parties filed a joint letter notifying the court that they had agreed to mediate before Greg Danilow of Phillips ADR Enterprises. The parties conducted the private mediation on April 29, 2025; however, the parties were unable to reach a settlement at the mediation. Pursuant to the parties’ so-ordered January 16 joint stipulation, on May 7, 2025, the parties filed a revised proposed case management plan and a revised joint letter in accordance with the court’s Notice of Initial Pretrial Conference. On the same day, the court endorsed the joint submission and ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint no later than June 2, 2025, and scheduled an initial pretrial conference for July 18, 2025. On June 2, 2025, Plaintiff and fifteen other alleged purchasers of the Syndeo machines filed an amended complaint asserting: (1) violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 349 (Count IV), the state consumer protection statute; (2) violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 350 (Count V), the state’s false advertising statute; (3) breach of the implied warranty of merchantability (Count I); (4) breach of express and implied contract and class-wide rescission (Count II); and (5) breach of express warranty (Count III). The relief sought in the amended complaint includes monetary damages allegedly suffered by Class Action Plaintiffs and other members of the putative class as a result of Class Action Defendants’ alleged violations and breaches, including a trebling of any money damages award for alleged violations of N.Y. G.B.L., § 349 and § 350. On June 23, 2025, Defendants moved to (i) dismiss Counts I, II, IV, and V in full; (ii) partially dismiss Count III to the extent it alleges design defects; (iii) dismiss all claims brought by plaintiff Jennifer Skuratov d/b/a Spa Thirsty in full; (iv) dismiss all claims against the Company in full; and (v) dismiss Plaintiffs’ claim for injunctive relief. The initial pretrial conference originally scheduled for July 18, 2025 has been adjourned to August 15, 2025.

The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Consumer Class Action have no merit and Class Action Defendants intend to vigorously defend them.

Consolidated Derivative Action

On February 8, 2024, a derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Stanleick; its former Chief Financial Officer, Liyuan Woo, and current members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”): Brenton Saunders, Marla Beck, Michael Capellas, Julius Few, Desiree Gruber, Michelle Kerrick, Brian Miller, and Doug Schillinger, with the Company as the nominal defendant. The complaint, styled Margie Elstein, derivatively on behalf of The Beauty Health Company v. Brenton Saunders, Marla Beck, Michael Capellas, Julius Few, Desiree Gruber, Michelle Kerrick, Brian Miller, Doug Schillinger, Andrew Stanleick, and Liyuan Woo, C.A. No. 2024-0114-LWW (Del. Ch.) (the “Elstein Derivative Action”), asserts a single claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the individual defendants based on the alleged disclosure of knowingly false information and/or the alleged failure to respond to red flags relating to Hydrafacial’s business, operations, and prospects, specifically with respect to the performance of and demand for the Syndeo 1.0 and 2.0 devices. The plaintiff-stockholder further maintains that no demand was made upon the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the initiation of the Elstein Derivative Action based on allegations that a majority of the Board of Directors was not disinterested or independent with respect to the fiduciary duty claim, such that demand should be excused as futile. The relief sought in the complaint includes a finding of demand futility, a finding that the individual defendants are liable for breaching their fiduciary duties (as current/former officers and directors), and an award of compensatory damages for harm suffered by the Company and its stockholders for harm allegedly sustained as a result of the alleged fiduciary duty violation.

On May 1, 2024, a derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Stanleick; its former Chief Financial Officer, Liyuan Woo, and current members of the Company’s Board of Directors: Brent Saunders, Marla Beck, Michael Capellas, Julius Few, Desiree Gruber, Michelle Kerrick, Brian Miller, and Doug Schillinger, with the Company as the nominal defendant. The complaint, styled Richard Montague, derivatively on behalf of The Beauty Health Company v. Andrew Stanleick, Liyuan Woo, Brent Saunders, Marla Beck, Michael Capellas, Julius Few, Desiree Gruber, Michelle Kerrick, Brian Miller, and Doug Schillinger, C.A. No. 2024-0463-LWW (Del. Ch.) (the “Montague Derivative Action”), asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) gross mismanagement, (iii) waste of corporate assets, (iv) unjust enrichment, and (v) aiding and abetting against the individual defendants based on allegations that the individual defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, specifically relating to the Syndeo 1.0 and 2.0 devices. The relief sought in the Montague Derivative Action includes (a) awarding damages for harm suffered by the Company allegedly sustained as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged breach of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, (b) awarding damages for harm suffered by the Company allegedly sustained as a result of the Company’s directors’ alleged aiding and abetting of breaching their fiduciary duties, (c) directing the Company to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures, to comply with its existing governance obligations and all applicable laws, and to protect its investors from a recurrence of the alleged damaging events, and (d) awarding the plaintiff-stockholder the costs and disbursements of the Montague Derivative Action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses.

On May 22, 2024, the parties to the Elstein Derivative Action and Montague Derivative Action submitted a Stipulation and Proposed Order Governing Consolidation, Appointment of Lead, and Deadline to Respond to Operative Complaint. On May 24, 2024, Vice Chancellor Will, who was assigned to both the Elstein Derivative Action and the Montague Derivative Action, entered the Stipulation and Order Governing Consolidation, Appointment of Lead, and Deadline to Respond to Operative Complaint (the “Consolidation Order”). Per the Consolidation Order, the Elstein Derivative Action and the Montague Derivative Action were consolidated into a single derivative action, styled In re The Beauty Health Company Consolidated Stockholder Derivative Litigation, C.A. No. 2024-0114-LWW (Del. Ch.) (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”). The Consolidation Order designated the law firms of Gainey McKenna & Egleston and Komlossy Law, P.A. as co-lead counsel for plaintiffs in the Consolidated Derivative Action, and designated the law firm of Cooch and Taylor, P.A. as Delaware counsel for plaintiffs in the Consolidated Derivative Action. Additionally, the Consolidation Order designated the complaint filed in the Elstein Derivative Action as the operative complaint for the Consolidated Derivative Action, further providing that defendants are not obligated to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint filed in the Montague Derivative Action. The Consolidation Order further provided that defendants shall answer or otherwise respond to the complaint filed in the Elstein Derivative Action by August 25, 2024. This response deadline was subsequently vacated, prior to plaintiffs’ filing, on September 9, 2024, of their Verified Consolidated Amended Stockholder Derivative Complaint (the “Operative Complaint”). On September 16, 2024, defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss the Operative Complaint, or Alternatively, Stay the Proceedings (the “Motion to Dismiss”). Defendants filed their opening brief in support of their Motion to Dismiss and stay on February 28, 2025. Pursuant to a scheduling order entered by the court, Plaintiffs’ answering brief was filed on May 2, 2025, and Defendants’ reply brief was filed on June 3, 2025. Oral argument before the Delaware Court of Chancery on the Motion to Dismiss is scheduled for October 8, 2025.

The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Consolidated Derivative Action have no merit and intends to vigorously defend them.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Subpoena

The Division of Enforcement of the SEC has issued three subpoenas in connection with a formal order of investigation of the Company seeking documents and information from us. The Company is in the process of responding to the subpoenas and intends to fully cooperate with the SEC investigation. We cannot predict the duration, scope, or outcome of this matter at this time.

Note 9 —Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In conjunction with the sale of Delivery Systems, the Company also sells single-use tips, solutions, and serums used to provide a Hydrafacial treatment (collectively “Consumables”). Original Consumables are sold solely and exclusively by the Company (and from authorized retailers) and are available for purchase separately from the purchase of Delivery Systems. For both Delivery Systems and Consumables, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally takes place at the point of shipment.

Note 12 —Income Taxes

The Company is required to calculate its interim income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) method prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270, and as such, excludes losses in jurisdictions where the Company cannot benefit in computing its worldwide AETR. A separate AETR is computed and applied to ordinary losses in the U.S. jurisdiction as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The AETR differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due primarily to a full valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets, income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at varying rates, and the tax impact of executive and share-based compensation expense.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The estimated worldwide AETR differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due primarily to a full valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets, income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal rate, and the impact of discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year.

The Company has established a valuation allowance in the U.S. against its deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company considers numerous factors including historical profitability, the amount of future taxable income and the existence of taxable temporary differences that can be used to realize deferred tax assets.

The Company applies ASC 740, the accounting standard addressing the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes rules for recognition, measurement and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits of $1.5 million and $1.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently assessing its impact on its consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, income and shares related to the Private Placement Warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 14 —Segment Information

The Company manages its business on the basis ofone operating segment andone reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance for theone operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income (loss) and consolidated income (loss) from operations, which is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Significant expenses within consolidated net (loss) income include cost of sales, total operating expenses, interest expense, interest income, other (income) expense, net, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, foreign currency transaction loss (gain), net, and income tax expense (benefit), all of which are each separately reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The CODM also reviews the disaggregation of total operating expenses, of which significant segment expenses are related to personnel-related expenses, which includes sales commission and share-based compensation expense. Other segment expenses included in total operating expenses primarily consist of fees for professional services principally comprising legal, audit, tax and accounting services, depreciation and amortization expenses, advertising and marketing related expenses, software, facilities-related costs, credit card and wire fees, and insurance.

The following summarizes the components of operating expenses for the periods indicated:

Note 15 —New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its annual consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which expands interim and annual requirements to disclose about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which was clarified in ASU 2025-01. The standard allows for early adoption of these requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” which is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
