Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Description of Business—StubHub Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) operates a global ticketing marketplace for live events where fans can buy tickets from sellers of all types through our StubHub and viagogo websites and mobile applications.

Initial Public Offering—The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “IPO Registration Statement”) related to its initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on September 16, 2025 and the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2025. On September 18, 2025, the Company completed its IPO, in which the Company sold 34,042,553 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the public of $23.50 per share ("Qualified IPO Price"). The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $758.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $42.0 million.

Upon completion of the IPO:

20,000 shares of Series I redeemable preferred stock and 32,892 shares of Series J redeemable preferred stock automatically converted into 1,386,615 and 2,044,729 shares of Class A common stock, respectively;

24,025 shares of Series M redeemable preferred stock,50,000 shares of Series N redeemable preferred stock and 254,893 shares of Series O redeemable preferred will automatically convert 180 days following the closing of the IPO into 1,322,527,2,340,425 and 11,931,135 shares of Class A common stock, respectively; and

1,543,825 shares of redeemable common stock were reclassified into permanent Class A common stock and the related contingent redemption feature was terminated.

Upon the Company’s IPO, the Company recognized $1,400.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, net of $27.1 million capitalized for internally developed software, associated with restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options and restricted stock for which the service-based and performance-based vesting conditions, as applicable, were fully or partially satisfied in connection with the IPO. To meet the related tax withholding requirements for the net settlement of the certain vested RSUs, the Company withheld 3,472,661 shares of Class A common stock, resulting in net issuance of 2,892,991 shares of Class A common stock. Based on the IPO price of $23.50 per share, the Company's related tax withholding obligation was $81.6 million and was paid during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Prior to the IPO, deferred offering costs, which consisted of accounting, legal and other fees directly related to the IPO, were capitalized as other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the IPO, $20.3 million of deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the net proceeds received from the IPO.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation—The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), redeemable preferred stock, redeemable common stock and stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the accompanying notes are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Stock Split—On September 5, 2025, the Company effected a 5-for-1 forward stock split of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All information related to the Company’s common stock was retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. The par value of the common stock was not affected by the stock split.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and events reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include accruals for contingent indirect tax exposures, accruals for legal contingencies, estimated future event cancellations, the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions, revenue recognition and related reserves, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, collection rates on receivables from sellers, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, the fair value of derivatives and bifurcated derivatives, the fair value of preferred stock, the fair value of common stock and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation and inventory valuation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors, including the current economic environment, that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Revenue Recognition—The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis through management’s assessment of whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the transaction based on the evaluation of control over the ticket being transferred or service being provided.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the facilitation of buyers and sellers who desire to enter into a transaction to buy or sell live event tickets. Revenue consists primarily of: (i) fees charged to buyers and sellers of tickets when a transaction is executed on the Company’s platform and (ii) shipping fees charged to buyers of tickets. Fee structures can vary between jurisdictions for a variety of commercial reasons including competitive pricing and complying with local law and regulatory requirements. The Company charges buyers a transaction fee in addition to the price of the tickets. This fee covers the cost of maintaining the Company’s platform, guaranteeing tickets and providing customer service. Depending on the geographic market or live event, the Company may also charge sellers a transaction fee, which, if applicable, is deducted from the payment remitted to the seller. The Company provides incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms, including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold and coupons. Promotions and incentives that are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time when the incentive is provided or issued to the customer.

With respect to the facilitation of buyers and sellers who desire to enter into a transaction to buy or sell live event tickets, the Company has identified two performance obligations related to the core services offered: (i) transaction facilitation between buyers and sellers and (ii) shipping facilitation. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its fulfillment of its transaction and shipping facilitation performance obligations is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the goods and services before being transferred to the customer under the terms of an arrangement. Control includes considering whether the Company has primary responsibility for fulfillment, assumes inventory risk and has discretion to establish prices, among other indicators. When providing transaction facilitation between a buyer and a seller, the Company acts as an agent as the Company does not set prices for tickets and is not responsible for providing tickets. As such, revenue from transaction facilitation earned by the Company for providing access to its marketplace platform and performing listing and transaction facilitation services is recorded net of the price of the tickets and recognized at the point in time the sale is executed. As part of facilitating transactions on the Company’s marketplace platform, the Company provides buyers with the ability to have tickets shipped to a specified address, and sellers the ability to ship paper tickets by providing them access to the Company’s pre-negotiated shipping contracts for a fee. The shipping fee is set by the Company and the Company acts as a principal for shipping facilitation and revenue is recognized at the point in time the shipping label has been provided by the Company to the seller. As such, payments by customers to the Company for shipping facilitation are recorded on a gross basis as revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, while the shipping expenses are included in cost of revenue.

In addition, to help accelerate content rights holders’ adoption of the Company’s marketplace as a distribution channel for original issuance tickets, the Company initially entered into agreements with certain content rights holders to reduce the perceived operational burden and economic risk of utilizing the Company’s marketplace. For example, in some cases, in exchange for agreeing to list a certain number of original issuance tickets, the Company agreed to remit to the content rights holder a minimum amount of proceeds for that bundle of tickets. These agreements contained terms and conditions indicating that the Company has control over such tickets prior to the tickets being sold to a buyer. Therefore, the Company acted as principal with respect to the sale of those tickets, and the tickets were considered to be inventory. With respect to the sale of inventory, the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is to transfer control of the inventory to the buyer once a ticket has been purchased. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis, based on the total sale price of these tickets, including transaction fees, and is recognized at the point in time the buyer purchases the ticket, while the inventory costs are included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Ticketing marketplaces, including the Company’s platform, have general terms and conditions that require a refund to the buyer for the total amount of their ticket purchase, inclusive of transaction fees, if an event is cancelled or tickets are invalid. The Company determined this is not considered a separate performance obligation, but rather a stand-ready obligation to provide a return. Therefore, it is deemed an element of variable consideration, which could result in a reduction to revenue.

Revenue is recognized net of value-added taxes, sales taxes and similar taxes and estimated cash refunds and sales credits. Revenue earned from transaction facilitation and sale of inventory that occurs during a financial reporting period is recorded net of refunds for actual canceled events not previously reserved as well as an estimate for future canceled events. The Company assesses whether an event is likely to be canceled based on event policies and historical information, and other factors including forecasted economic conditions. The refund estimates for canceled events are determined based on historical data and market conditions. Refunds for estimated canceled events are recorded as a liability within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. If an event is canceled, the amounts due to buyers are recorded within payments due to buyers and sellers on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of $96.3 million and $76.8 million, respectively, for refunds payable to buyers for events that were canceled within payments due to buyers and sellers on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $17.7 million and $15.1 million, respectively, for events expected to be canceled within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Payments Due to Buyers and Sellers—Payments due to buyers and sellers represents refunds payable to buyers and payments due to sellers. Refunds payable to buyers represents the amount of refunds the Company owes buyers for previously canceled events where payments have already been received from buyers. Payments due to sellers represent the amount of funds the Company owes sellers from transactions that have been processed with a buyer but have not yet been remitted to the seller. The Company had refunds payable to buyers of $96.3 million and $76.8 million and payments due to sellers of $769.6 million and $630.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, within payments due to buyers and sellers. In addition, the Company had payments due to sellers of $0.8 million and $4.6 million within other non-current liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about an entity’s reportable segments. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, however, it resulted in expanded disclosures which are reflected in Note 17—Segment Information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted—In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements other than the expanded footnote disclosure.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). The standard requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures 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. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements can be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The standard provides enhancement to existing ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software guidance, primarily by removing all references to project stages and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Long-term debt obligations are recorded at carrying value. The fair values of the 2024 Euro Term Loan and the 2024 USD Term Loan as of September 30, 2025 were €449.6 million and $1,143.6 million, respectively. The Company’s term loans are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9—Long-Term Debt Obligations for more information.

There were no transfers of financial instruments into or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Money market funds are included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Company’s derivative interest rate contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using a market approach with inputs based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. See Note 11—Interest Rate Derivatives for more information.

Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative, Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative and Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative were liabilities recognized at fair value. See Note 13—Redeemable Preferred Stock for more information. The Company’s Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative, Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative and Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the changes in Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative liability, Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock liability, Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock liability, Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative liability and Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative liability (in thousands):

The Company utilized the income approach to measure the fair value of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock, with and without the bifurcated derivative, Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock. The fair value of these liabilities is the present value of the expected future cash flows using a discount rate that approximates assumptions used by market participants for similar liabilities, adjusted to reflect inherent risks of the Company’s future cash flows. Significant changes in the discount rate would result in a significant decrease or increase in the fair value measurement.

On February 13, 2020, to finance its acquisition of StubHub, the Company entered into a credit facility comprised of the Euro Term Loan B, the USD Term Loan B and the Revolving Credit Facility, as detailed below. On March 15, 2024, the Company refinanced the USD Term Loan B, USD Term Loan B2 and the Euro Term Loan B and extended the Revolving Credit Facility under an amendment to the credit agreement (“Amendment No. 4”), as detailed below. The credit facility is secured by: (i) a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible personal property, including but not limited to intellectual property and accounts receivable and (ii) a first priority pledge of 100% of the equity interests of the Company and each material direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company limited to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of certain foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

Euro Term Loan B—The Euro Term Loan B initially consisted of a €452.4 million euro-denominated loan. The interest rate was equal to EURIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus 3.50%. The combination of the stated interest rates and amortization of debt issuance costs resulted in an effective interest rate of 6.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 prior to the refinancing. The loan's initial maturity date was in February 2027 and the Company had an option to prepay part or all of the loan prior to maturity without penalty. At the time of issuance, the Euro Term Loan B had a value of $500.0 million USD.

On February 27, 2020, following the close of the Euro Term Loan B borrowing, the Company entered into a pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap that fixed the Company’s floating rate exposure on its Euro Term Loan B. The combined economic effect of the swap and the Euro Term Loan B is to fix the variable rate component of the overall transaction to 0.2250%. See Note 11—Interest Rate Derivatives for more information.

On March 15, 2024, the Company refinanced the outstanding balance of the Euro Term Loan B under Amendment No.4. Refer below regarding 2024 Euro Term Loan for more information.

2024 Euro Term Loan—The new term loan has an aggregate principal of €452.4 million (“2024 Euro Term Loan”). The proceeds of the 2024 Euro Term Loan were utilized to repay the Euro Term Loan B outstanding immediately prior to March 15, 2024, including accrued interest thereon and to pay fees, expenses and premiums of €4.8 million incurred in connection with the refinancing. Through the amendment, the Company extinguished the Euro Term Loan B held by certain syndicate lenders (the “Euro Syndicate”). For the remainder, the Euro Syndicate continued as lenders in a new syndicate under the new 2024 Euro Term Loan (the “2024 Euro Syndicate”) which was accounted for as a debt modification. The 2024 Euro Syndicate also includes a number of new lenders that were not part of the Euro Syndicate. The Company recognized a $1.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt associated with a partial write-off of the unamortized debt discount under the Euro Term Loan B for those lenders who did not participate in the 2024 Euro Term Loans or had their loans partially redeemed for cash.

The 2024 Euro Term Loan matures on March 15, 2030 and prepayments of the loan within six months of March 15, 2024 are subject to a 1% prepayment premium. The 2024 Euro Term Loan interest rate per annum is equal to EURIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus 5.00%. The EURIBOR rate plus 5.00% was 6.91% as of September 30, 2025. The combination of the stated interest rates and amortization of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs resulted in an effective interest rate of 7.61% for nine months ended September 30, 2025.

At the time of issuance, the 2024 Euro Term Loan had a carrying value of $493.0 million USD. The exchange rate losses of $1.3 million USD and $21.5 million USD have been recognized as unrealized losses within foreign currency losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $60.4 million USD and$6.9 million USD for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, inclusive of the unrealized losses prior to the refinancing on March 15, 2024.

The Company will continue to use the pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap that previously fixed the Company’s floating rate exposure on Euro Term Loan B to continue to fix the floating rate exposure on the 2024 Euro Term Loan to 0.2250% through February 2027. See Note 11—Interest Rate Derivatives for more information.

USD Term Loan B—The USD Term Loan B initially consisted of a $1,700.0 million USD denominated loan. The loan’s initial maturity date was in February 2027 and the Company had an option to prepay part or all of the loan prior to maturity without penalty. The Company was required to repay 0.25% of the aggregate $1,700.0 million principal amount borrowed on a quarterly basis.

The loan interest rate per annum was equal to SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus 3.61448%. The combination of the stated interest rates, and amortization of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs resulted in an effective interest rate of 7.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 prior to the refinancing.

On February 27, 2020, following the close of the USD Term Loan B borrowing, the Company entered into a pay fixed, and receive floating interest rate swap that fixed the Company’s floating rate exposure on its USD Term Loan B. The combined economic effect of the swap and the USD Term Loan B is to fix the variable rate component of the overall transaction to 1.3784%. This swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. See Note 11—Interest Rate Derivatives for more information.

On March 15, 2024, Amendment No. 4 was executed to refinance the outstanding principal of USD Term Loan B. Refer to description below regarding 2024 USD Term Loan.

USD Term Loan B2—On July 26, 2021, the Company refinanced the outstanding principal of a previously existing term loan, which was $327.5 million. The term loan initially had an aggregate principal of $328.0 million USD (“Term Loan B2”).

The initial maturity date of the Term Loan B2 was in February 2027. The Company was required to repay 0.25% of the aggregate $328.0 million principal amount borrowed on a quarterly basis.

The loan interest rate per annum was equal to SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus 4.36448%. This resulted in an effective interest rate of 9.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 prior to the refinancing.

On March 15, 2024, Amendment No. 4 was executed to refinance the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B2. Refer to description below regarding 2024 USD Term Loan.

2024 USD Term Loan—On March 15, 2024, Amendment No. 4 resulted in the issuance of a new USD term loan of $1,952.6 million (“2024 USD Term Loan”) in outstanding principal, which was used to fully repay the $1,632.0 million of USD Term Loan B and $320.6 million of Term Loan B2 outstanding immediately prior to March 15, 2024, accrued interest thereon and to pay fees, expenses and premiums of $21.9 million incurred in connection with the refinancing. The 2024 USD Term Loan was funded by a syndicate of lenders, which included a number of lenders continuing from the USD Term Loan B and Term Loan B2 outstanding immediately prior and a number of new lenders. The Company determined that the portion of the 2024 USD Term Loan funded by continuing lenders were not substantially different from the original loans, and therefore accounted for the refinancing as a modification. However, the Company recognized a $4.6 million loss on extinguishment of USD Term Loan B and $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of Term Loan B2 primarily associated with the partial write-off of remaining debt issuance costs under the USD Term Loan B and Term Loan B2 for those lenders who did not participate in the 2024 USD Term Loan or had their loans partially redeemed for cash.

The 2024 USD Term Loan matures on March 15, 2030 and prepayments of the loan within six months of March 15, 2024 are subject to a 1% prepayment premium. The Company was required to repay 0.25% of the aggregate $1,914.0 million principal amount borrowed on a quarterly basis beginning on June 30, 2024.

The 2024 USD Term Loan interest rate per annum is equal to SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus 4.75%. The SOFR rate plus 4.75% was 8.91% as of September 30, 2025. The combination of the stated interest rates and amortization of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs resulted in an effective interest rate of 9.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On March 15, 2024, in connection with the 2024 USD Term Loan amendment discussed above, the Company dedesignated the cash flow hedge on the USD Term Loan B and redesignated the pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge on the 2024 USD Term Loan to reflect the updated terms of the amendment. The hedge fixes the Company’s floating rate exposure on $1,632.0 million of the 2024 USD Term Loan principal to 1.2639% through February 13, 2027. See Note 11—Interest Rate Derivatives for more information.

On June 24, 2024, the Company made an early principal payment related to the 2024 USD Term Loan of $24.0 million in connection with, and using the proceeds from the issuance of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt associated with a partial write-off of the unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On September 29, 2025, the Company made an early principal payment related to the 2024 USD Term Loan of $750.0 million in connection with, and using proceeds from the IPO. The Company recognized a $15.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt associated with a partial write-off of the unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Due to the paydown, commencing on September 30, 2025, there are no longer any quarterly amortization payments due on the 2024 USD Term Loan until the principal becomes due at maturity.

Revolving Credit Facility—The Revolving Credit Facility allows for an initial aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million including: (i) a $30.0 million letter of credit sublimit and (ii) a $30.0 million swingline loan sublimit. The initial maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility was in February 2025.

The interest rate per annum on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus 3.61448%.

On March 15, 2024, Amendment No.4 was executed to extend the maturity date on the Revolving Credit Facility from February 2025 to March 2028.

On June 27, 2024, the Company entered into the fifth amendment to the credit agreement (“Amendment No.5”) increasing the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain conditions including the occurrence of an event where the Company listing its common stock on a principal U.S. securities exchange (“Qualified IPO”). Upon a Qualified IPO, the amended Revolving Credit Facility will allow for an increased aggregate principal amount up to $565.0 million, including: (i) a $120.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and (ii) a $60.0 million swingline loan sublimit. Given the Qualified IPO did not occur by December 27, 2024, the expiration date of the conditional occurrence of the event, this amendment has no further force or effect. On January 2, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the occurrence date of the Qualified IPO and subsequent expiration date of the Amendment No. 5 from December 27, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the credit agreement to amend the Revolving Credit Facility for an increase in letter of credit sublimit from $30.0 million to $50.0 million until the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

On September 29, 2025, the Company met the conditions, including the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, under Amendment No. 5 that increased the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility to $565.0 million, including: (i) a $120.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and (ii) a $60.0 million swingline loan sublimit until its maturity date. The maturity date was also extended from March 2028 to September 2030. As of September 30, 2025, there were outstanding standby letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $43.1 million that the Company issued in connection with the Company’s appeal bond for a litigation matter and office leases under the Revolving Credit Facility. During and as of the nine months ended September 30, 2025, no amounts have been drawn on the letters of credit. The available balance under the letter of credit sublimit for Revolving Credit Facility was $76.9 million as of September 30, 2025.

During and as of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.

  1. INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

The loans entered into in connection with the credit facility described above in Note 9—Long-Term Debt Obligations expose the Company to risk of variability in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. The Company’s primary objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. The Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps have the economic effect of offsetting the variable interest obligations based on the specified SOFR or EURIBOR components associated with the Company's long-term debt obligations so that the interest payable on these effectively became fixed. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its long-term debt obligations.

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, specifically the swap hedging the EURIBOR component associated with €452.4 million 2024 Euro Term Loan, any change in fair value is reported within gains (losses) on derivatives during the period of the change in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of the 2024 Euro Term Loan interest rate swap was €452.4 million Euro as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value asset of the Euro Term Loan B interest rate swap derivative was $12.8 million USD and $18.3 million USD as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of this interest rate swap derivative asset is recorded within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, specifically the swap hedging SOFR associated with the 2024 USD Term Loan, the derivative’s gain or loss is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, in the same period the forecasted hedged interest payments affects earnings.

As described above in Note 9—Long-Term Debt Obligations, on March 15, 2024, in connection with the refinancing of the credit agreement, the Company dedesignated this hedging relationship and immediately redesignated the hedge as a cash flow hedge of the 2024 USD Term Loan to reflect the updated terms of the refinanced debt.

On September 29, 2025, in connection with the Company's early principal payment related to the 2024 USD Term Loan of $750.0 million, it became probable that certain forecasted transactions would not occur. As a result, the Company dedesignated its hedging relationships and reclassified $18.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as a reduction of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Company has determined that the remaining transactions that were hedged remain probable of occurring and, as a result, retained a balance in accumulated other comprehensive of $48.2 million.

As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate swap was redesignated as a new cash flow hedge in relation to the remaining balance of the 2024 USD Term Loan. The Company is hedging the variability in SOFR-linked interest rate payments associated with the$1,154.2 million of principal amount remaining of the 2024 USD Term Loan. The derivative’s gain or loss is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, in the same period the forecasted hedged interest payments affects earnings. The Company assessed hedge effectiveness at the time of entering into the agreement, utilizing a regression analysis, and determined the hedge is expected to be highly effective.

The Company classifies cash flows related to its cash flow hedges as operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The notional amount of the 2024 USD Term Loan interest rate swap was $1,154.2 million and $1,615.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The notional amount of the hedge is amortizing over the life of the hedge consistent with the forecasted amortization of its SOFR denominated obligations. The fair value asset of the USD Term Loan B interest rate swap derivative was $34.5 million and $90.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of this interest rate swap derivative asset is recorded within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the activity of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and the impact of these derivative contracts, net of tax, on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

The Company recognizes assets or liabilities at fair value of the estimated amounts it would receive or pay upon a termination of interest rate derivatives prior to their scheduled expiration dates. These assets and liabilities are recognized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as they are measured based on observable inputs. See Note 3—Fair Value Measurements for more information.

The Company estimates that $28.6 million of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2025 will be reclassified as a benefit to interest expense during the next 12 months.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has future purchase commitments as follows (in thousands):

Purchase Commitments
Remainder of 2025$21,900
202662,414
202762,640
202814,176
20296,752
2030 and thereafter7,000
Total minimum payments$174,882

These purchase commitments consist primarily of contractual inventory costs, sponsorship fees and partnership fees. Inventory costs are included in cost of revenue and other sponsorship and partnership fees are included in sales and marketing expense reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sponsorship and partnership fees totaled $26.4 million and $26.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $68.8 million and $58.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s purchase commitments for inventory represent the total amount of minimum proceeds that we agreed to remit to content rights holders in exchange for their agreement to list a certain number of original issuance tickets. Inventory costs totaled $9.8 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $27.9 million and $31.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Indirect Tax Contingencies –The Company evaluated its potential indirect tax obligations in various jurisdictions including U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions and determined instances where indirect tax contingencies exist. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $18.2 million and $16.3 million within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, and $122.3 million and $88.1 million within other non-current liabilities, respectively, where the Company may have a filing obligation and exposure for penalties and interest which were determined to be probable and estimable. The Company's estimated liabilities for these tax matters are inherently subjective due to the complexity and uncertainty of these matters and the administrative, regulatory or judicial processes in certain jurisdictions. In addition, the Company is involved with legal and regulatory proceedings related to indirect tax matters as further described below in Litigation and Other Legal Matters. The final outcome could be materially different from the estimated liabilities recorded. In addition, the Company could be subject to additional tax liabilities, where the Company is unable to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued. The Company will continue to monitor the development of these tax contingencies, including interactions with domestic and foreign tax authorities and will adjust these estimated liabilities based on any new information or further developments.

Litigation, Regulatory Proceedings and Other Legal Matters—As part of its normal operations, the Company is involved in legal and regulatory proceedings on an ongoing basis. Amounts accrued for legal and regulatory proceedings for which the Company believes a loss is probable and estimable were $113.8 million and $96.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is party to a legal proceeding with Spotlight Ticket Management, Inc. (“Spotlight”), who is alleging, among other things, that the Company underpaid certain of the commissions owed to Spotlight pursuant to their contractual agreements and intentionally interfered in Spotlight’s ongoing partnerships with other parties in an effort to adversely impact Spotlight’s business. The proceeding, entitled Spotlight Ticket Management, Inc. v. StubHub, Inc. et al, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California on June 23, 2020. On May 24, 2024, a jury reached a verdict against the Company for $16.4 million to the plaintiff. The Company previously determined the probability of loss to be remote. The matter is pending post-trial motions and appeal by the Company. The final outcome could be materially different from the estimated liability recorded. The Company has accrued a liability within other non-current liabilities of $16.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, for which a loss is probable. In connection with the appeal process, on November 26, 2024, the Company posted a $24.6 million appeal bond.

On February 6, 2024, the Company received a letter and subpoena from the Attorney General of the District of Columbia (the “D.C. AG”) regarding allegations that certain features of the Company’s website, including its all-in pricing feature, violated the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (the “D.C. CPPA”). The Company cooperated with such inquiry, producing such information that was responsive to the subpoena. Following its review of publicly available information and the information that the Company provided, the D.C. AG has informed the Company that it believes that certain of the Company’s practices have violated the D.C. CPPA. On August 1, 2024, the Company was served with a complaint by the D.C. AG. The Company’s review of the complaint and its discussions on this matter are at an early stage and are ongoing. While the Company believes that its commercial practices comply with applicable laws, a resolution of this matter may include a monetary fine and/or injunctive relief. The Company has accrued a liability within other non-current liabilities of $1.8 million andzero as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, for which a loss is probable. Due to the ongoing nature of the review and uncertainties involved, the final outcome could be materially different from the estimated liability recorded.

On January 20, 2025, the Company received a request for information from a non-U.S. regulator investigating whether buyers were adequately notified of the view from certain seat locations. The Company is in the process of responding to the regulator's requests for information and continues to engage in discussions with its staff to reach a settlement regarding the matter. The Company previously determined the probability of loss to be remote. The Company’s discussions are ongoing, and based on the information currently available, it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur a loss in connection with this matter. While the ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently estimates that the loss could be up to approximately $12.9 million, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the maximum potential exposure.

On August 27, 2025, a U.S. regulator initiated an investigation seeking information regarding the Company's business practices in connection with the advertised pricing of live event tickets. While the Company believes that its commercial practices comply with applicable laws, a resolution of this matter may include a monetary fine and/or injunctive relief. The Company has accrued a liability within other non-current liabilities of $7.0 million as of September 30, 2025, for which a loss is probable. Due to the ongoing nature of the review and uncertainties involved, the final outcome could be materially different from the estimated liability recorded.

The Company operates in numerous jurisdictions in which taxing authorities may challenge its positions with respect to income and non-income-based taxes. The Company routinely receives inquiries and from time to time has, and may in the future, receive challenges or assessments from these taxing authorities. With respect to non-income based taxes, the Company recognizes liabilities when the Company believes it is probable that amounts will be owed to the taxing authorities and such amounts are estimable. In most jurisdictions, the Company charges and remits Sales and Use Taxes or Value Added Tax (“VAT”) when procuring goods and services, or providing services, within the normal course of business.

The Company received sales and use tax assessments from an individual state department of revenue within the U.S. regarding the Company’s sales tax withholding practice. The matter is pending resolution from the appeal process and final ruling. The Company determined the loss to be probable and accrued a liability within other non-current liabilities of $51.2 million and $48.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The final outcome could be materially different from the estimated liability recorded.

The Company also received a dispute from a non-U.S. taxing authority for VAT related to certain sales in prior periods. The Company’s position is that the sales were treated appropriately for VAT and intends to defend its position with the taxing authorities. In the third quarter of 2024, without admitting any misconduct, the Company was offered a potential opportunity to settle certain matters with the non-U.S. taxing authority. The Company had recorded probable losses of $30.0 million and $26.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for this matter. The Company previously determined the probability of loss to be reasonably possible. The accrued amount represents the settlement offer the Company intends to provide to the non-U.S. taxing authority. Discussions on these matters are ongoing and the interpretation and application of these VAT rules could result in a liability that is materially different from the estimate recorded.

In connection with a complaint by the Swiss Consumers Association alleging infringement of the Swiss Unfair Competition Act, preventative freeze of $15.1 million and$13.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is reflected in restricted cash.

In connection with a complaint by French authorities in connection with the Union of European Football Associations Championship, relating to the Company’s commercial practices, preventative freeze of $1.5 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is reflected in restricted cash.

The Company does not believe that losses are probable with respect to these additional claims and regulatory proceedings or that reasonably possible losses are material. Legal and regulatory proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. If one or more matters were resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material. The Company is also unable to estimate the potential impact from the application of non‐monetary remedies. The impact from these remedies may have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business practices, which could result in a material impact to its liquidity, operating results and financial condition.

As of the closing of the Qualified IPO, the fair value of Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock derivative liability was $2.7 million. Upon the closing of the Qualified IPO, the embedded conversion feature, which was bifurcated from the Series N Redeemable Preferred

Stock met the requirements for the derivative scope exception for contracts involving the Company’s own stock and was no longer accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $2.7 million was reclassified into additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon 180 days after the closing of the Qualified IPO, the Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 2,340,425 shares of Class A Common Stock based on the quotient of the then outstanding liquidation preference and the Qualified IPO Price pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

On June 30, 2025, the Company designated up to 500,000 shares of the authorized preferred stock as Series O redeemable preferred stock ("Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock").

The initial fair value of the Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock derivative liability was estimated to be $0.9 million and is presented as a component of other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of the closing of the Qualified IPO, the fair value of Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock derivative liability was $14.0 million. Upon the closing of the Qualified IPO, the embedded conversion feature, which was bifurcated from the Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock met the requirements for the derivative scope exception for contracts involving the Company’s own stock and was no longer accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $14.0 million was reclassified into additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon 180 days after the closing of the Qualified IPO, the Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 11,931,135 shares of Class A Common Stock based on the quotient of the then outstanding liquidation preference and the Qualified IPO Price pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

The following is a summary of the rights and preferences of the Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock:

Liquidation Preference—The outstanding Liquidation Preference for each share of Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock on any determination date is equal to their original issuance price multiplied by an applicable return that increases from 1.10 at issuance by 0.05 annually beginning January 1, 2027 until January 1, 2035 at a maximum of 1.55. Upon a liquidation event, the Company shall redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price equal to the outstanding Liquidation Preference.

Optional Redemption—The Company may redeem the Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock at any time at a redemption price equal to the outstanding Liquidation Preference prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO.

Change in Control Redemption—Upon a change in control, the Company shall redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price equal to the outstanding Liquidation Preference.

Voting—The holders of the Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights, except: (i) that certain actions that would adversely affect the rights or privileges of the holders of the redeemable preferred stock are subject to such holders’ prior approval and (ii) to the extent required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Conversion—180 days after the closing of a Qualified IPO, each share of outstanding Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock will convert into a variable number of shares of Class A Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) equal to the quotient of the then outstanding Liquidation Preference of the Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Qualified IPO Price. Other than the conversion upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Series N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock do not have any conversion rights into any other class or series of capital stock of the Company.

In September 2025, upon the closing of the Qualified IPO,20,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock automatically converted into 1,386,615 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the conversion terms equal to the quotient of the outstanding liquidation preference, including all accrued and unpaid dividends, and the Qualified IPO Price multiplied by a factor of 0.9. The outstanding liquidation preference, including all accrued and unpaid dividends, for the 20,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock was $29.3 million. The carrying value for the 20,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Series I Redeemable embedded conversion feature was $20.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock embedded conversion feature was derecognized as a liability and reclassified to be a component of additional paid-in capital upon conversion. The fair value of the 1,386,615 shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion was $32.6 million with the excess over the carrying value of the 20,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock embedded conversion feature representing the accrued and unpaid dividends settlement and treated as a charge to additional paid-in-capital.

In September 2025, upon the closing of the Qualified IPO, all 32,892 shares of Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding automatically converted into 2,044,729 shares of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the conversion terms equal to the quotient of the outstanding liquidation preference, including all accrued and unpaid dividends and the Qualified IPO Price. The outstanding liquidation preference, including all accrued and unpaid dividends, for 32,892 shares of Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock was $48.1 million and equal to its carrying value, and was derecognized as a liability and reclassified to be a component of additional paid-in capital upon the conversion into Class A Common Stock.

Subsequent to the conversions of the 20,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock and all 32,892 shares of Series J Redeemable Preferred Stock,10,000 shares of Series I Redeemable Preferred Stock,365,000 shares of Series K Redeemable Preferred Stock,115,000 shares of Series L Redeemable Preferred Stock,50,000 shares of Series N Redeemable Preferred Stock and 254,893 shares of Series O Redeemable Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

The Company has classified its Series I, K, L, N and O Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to being contingently redeemable upon a change in control, which is deemed outside of the Company’s control. These events were not probable of occurring as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and therefore the carrying values of the redeemable preferred stock are not being accreted to their redemption values. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of the redeemable preferred stock may be required when it becomes probable that the shares will become redeemable.

The following tables represent the shares of redeemable preferred stock issued and outstanding classified as mezzanine equity as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Exercisable as of September 30, 20255,633,108$4.822.8$67,684

The aggregate intrinsic value disclosed in the above table is based on the difference between the exercise price of the stock option and the estimated fair value of the Class A Common Stock as of the respective period-end dates.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was $4.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

In the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 10,730,210 shares of Class A Common Stock that contained vesting provisions based on the Company’s achievement of tiered share prices, ranging from $19.50 to $80.00 per share, in qualifying liquidity events, including a change in control, Qualified IPO, or secondary transactions. The vesting of the stock options is also contingent on the continued employment of the awardee with the Company. The Company has determined that these awards contain service, performance, and market conditions. The awards had an estimated grant date fair value of $19.7 million which was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company modified the remaining unvested and outstanding portion of these awards, which are comprised of options to purchase an aggregate of 9,630,210 shares of Class A Common Stock such that, upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the market-based vesting provisions are based on the Company’s achievement of tiered share prices, ranging from $20.00 to $80.00 per share, measured based on a 30-consecutive trading day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported by the principal securities exchange on which such stock is listed.

The Company recognized $264.6 million andzero expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to these awards.

As of September 30, 2025, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense remaining for all outstanding stock options.

Put Right Arrangement—In March 2023, the Company provided an employee with an arrangement that granted the employee the right to sell on each of four annual put right exercise dates beginning in 2024, shares of Class A Common Stock held by the employee or to be obtained by the employee through the exercise of vested stock options. On each annual put right exercise date, the employee may elect to sell 666,665 of such shares to a third-party buyer in a secondary transaction facilitated by the Company. To the extent the aggregate proceeds to the employee in connection with any such annual election and sale are less than $20.0 million, the Company is required to fund the shortfall in proceeds up to an aggregate gross amount of $20.0 million per year. The Company may satisfy this obligation by repurchasing any available shares at the then fair value, but in no instance higher than $30.00 per share, or by paying the employee a cash bonus or by a combination of the two, at the Company’s election. To be eligible to exercise the put right, the employee must provide continuous service to the Company through the put exercise date, except that, if the employee is terminated by the Company without “cause” or resigns for “good reason,” such employee retains a right to sell on the next annual put right exercise date, as set forth in the arrangement. This arrangement will expire upon the listing of the Company’s capital stock on a recognized securities exchange or a change of control.

The Company has determined that the accounting for the put right arrangement is dependent on whether the employee’s underlying shares have been subject to the risks and rewards of ownership for at leastsix months prior to the employee receiving the put right. Shares that have met these criteria are considered mature shares and are presented in mezzanine equity at the historical basis of their initial issuance and, when deemed probable of becoming redeemable, are accreted to their redemption value over the remaining period to the redemption date. Shares that have not met these criteria, including shares to be obtained through the exercise of stock options, are considered linked to these put right stock-based compensation awards and are treated as liability-classified awards and remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period through the settlement date. The remaining obligation to issue a cash bonus is accounted for as a separate component of the award that is classified as a liability and expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period the put right is earned. The remaining obligation is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period through the settlement date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions summarized below:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025Year Ended December 31, 2024
Risk free interest rate3.70% - 4.79%4.16% - 4.86%
Expected term (in years)0.6 - 21.6 years0.0 - 21.1 years
Dividend yield—%—%
Expected volatility53.42%53.42%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, in connection with the put right arrangement, the employee did not elect to exercise their 2025 annual put right. Upon termination of this contingent redemption feature,803,875 vested liability classified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 803,875 shares of Class A Common Stock were reclassified to permanent equity.

Stock-based compensation expense associated with the put right arrangement was $(4.2) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $(4.2) million and $(1.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reclassified $18.4 million from other non-current liabilities to additional paid in capital as the contingent feature on the vested stock options to purchase an aggregate of 803,875 shares of Class A Common Stock terminated. As of September 30, 2025, as the contingent redemption feature was terminated upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company derecognized all remaining obligations with the put right arrangements.

All of the warrants have an exercise price of $0.002 and can be exercised using cash in exchange forone share of the Class A Common Stock or through a net share settlement using a cashless exercise. The expiration date of the warrants is the earlier of 10 years from the grant date, upon a Qualified IPO or a change of control event, or 30 days after the termination of the advisory services. Immediately prior to the expiration of the Advisory Warrants upon a Qualified IPO or a change of control event, all the Advisory Warrants will on the date of such event, immediately vest as to all Advisory Warrants scheduled to vest in the then-current and the immediately subsequent calendar year and all then-vested Advisory Warrants shall be exercised in full automatically.

On March 21, 2025, the Company amended the Warrants by: (i) removing the distinction of common stock warrants between Advisory and Initiative Warrants; (ii) decreasing the number of common stock warrants authorized to 355,702; (iii) issuing the remaining 59,284 authorized common stock warrants; and (iv) modifying the vesting dates of the remaining unvested common stock warrants to be on the amendment date. The decrease in common stock warrants authorized was in exchange for an aggregate cash payment of $7.0 million payable in annual installments through December 31, 2027, subject to continued advisory service through the payment dates. The aggregate fair value of the modified Warrants totaled $12.7 million of which the remaining $2.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for common stock warrants authorized was recognized upon the modification as all Warrants are vested.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, zero common stock warrants were exercised through a net share settlement using a cashless exercise, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,276,657 andzero common stock warrants were exercised through a net share settlement using a cashless exercise, respectively.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and, if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment to tax expense or benefit in the period. The estimated annual effective tax rate is impacted by several factors, including the Company’s forecasted pre-tax and taxable income and (loss) and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate. The Company’s effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or (loss) relative to the impact of discrete items, in any period.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit (provision) of $106.2 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $132.3 million and $(9.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the pre-tax loss offset by the tax impact of non-deductible employee compensation, whereas the tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by the pre-tax loss and the reversal of the valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets.

The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by the pre-tax loss, offset by the tax impact of the non-deductible employee compensation, whereas the tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to the tax expense incurred in connection with the Company’s legal entity restructuring, partially offset by the tax benefit associated with the reversal of the valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets and the settlement of certain state tax uncertain tax positions.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA extends and modifies several provisions originally introduced under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, while also implementing additional changes to U.S. federal tax law. Key provision of the OBBBA include (i) the permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying assets, (ii) the elimination of the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S. – based research and experimental expenditures, allowing for immediate expensing, (iii) changes to limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, and (iv) modifications to the taxation of foreign earnings and other international income tax provisions. The OBBBA contains multiple effective dates, with certain provisions taking effect beginning in calendar year 2025 and others phased in through calendar year 2027. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has recognized the effects of the new tax law in the period of enactment. The legislation does not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025, nor is it expected to have a material impact on the full year 2025.
