- Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Business
Skillz (the “Company,” “Skillz” or “We”) generates revenue from ourtwo reportable operating segments, Skillz and Aarki.
The Skillz segment operates a competitive multi-player platform, driving the future of entertainment by accelerating the convergence of video games, real world prizes, and media. The Company’s principal activities are to develop and support a proprietary online-hosted technology platform that creates a multi-player system inside of game developer’s games (“Competitions”) to end-players worldwide.
Aarki (“Aarki”) is a subsidiary of the Company and is an artificial intelligence company that delivers advertising solutions to drive revenue growth for mobile app developers. Aarki enables brands to effectively engage audiences in a privacy-first world by using billions of contextual bidding signals coupled with proprietary machine learning and behavioral models. Aarki works with advertisers globally and manages ad requests on mobile devices.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and one subsidiary for which there is an immaterial noncontrolling interest at September 30, 2025. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified or changed to conform to the current-year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Estimates are used in several areas including, but not limited to, end-user incentives, including Bonus Cash and Ticketz accrual, indirect tax liabilities, the fair value of non-marketable securities, and the impairment of long-lived assets. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for its services in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). For additional information, see Note 3, Revenue.
Cost of revenue primarily consists of third-party payment processing fees, server costs, amortization of developed technology, personnel expenses, direct software costs, amortization of internal use software, hosting expenses, and allocation of shared facility and other costs.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, commercial paper, money market funds and U.S. government agency securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted cash of $1.0 million at September 30, 2025 was primarily associated with the cash required to be held by our financial institution. Restricted cash of $10.0 million at December 31, 2024 was primarily associated with the letter of credit for the Company’s former headquarters in San Francisco and cash required to be held by our financial institution.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that sum to the total of these items reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
| September 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash | $11,693 | $19,975 |
| Money market funds | 200,108 | 251,948 |
| Restricted cash classified as a current asset | — | 9,000 |
| Restricted cash classified as a non-current asset | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $212,801 | $281,923 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple established financial institutions, the deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions on a regular basis. At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash balances on deposit with various financial institutions that in the aggregate exceeded the federally insured limits in the amount of $209.9 million.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, represents amounts recorded for programmatic media campaigns, net of an allowance for credit losses from our advertising revenue customers of our Aarki segment. The allowance for credit losses is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when there are specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also considers customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. The Company’s provision and write-offs, net of recoveries for credit losses were not material in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
- The allowance for credit losses were $257.0 thousand and $273.0 thousand at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Two customers of Aarki individually represented 10% or more of total accounts receivables as of September 30, 2025. The individual receivable balance of these customers were between 21% and 23% of the accounts receivable balance. Four customers of Aarki accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivables as of December 31, 2024 and were between 10% and 18% of the accounts receivable balance.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment with estimable useful lives subject to depreciation and amortization.
The Company owns its office building in Las Vegas, Nevada that serves as its headquarters with costs allocated to building and land components. The building is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 39 years and the land is not subject to depreciation.
Advertising and Promotional Expense
Advertising and promotional expenses are included in sales and marketing expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses, excluding marketing promotions related to the Company’s end-user incentive programs, were $4.4 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $13.2 million and $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
User Acquisition
User acquisition (“UA”) marketing costs to acquire new paying users to the platform are presented in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. UA marketing costs were $4.3 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $12.4 million and $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest (Expense) Income, Net
Interest (expense) income, net, consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Interest expense | $(3,815) | $(3,771) | $(11,416) | $(11,320) |
| Interest income | 2,255 | 4,013 | 7,464 | 12,008 |
| Interest (expense) income, net | $(1,560) | $242 | $(3,952) | $688 |
Indirect Tax Liabilities
The Company is subject to indirect taxes such as sales and use tax in the United States and value-added tax in certain foreign jurisdictions, respectively. Indirect tax liabilities are adjusted considering changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax examination, further interpretation of existing tax law, or new tax law. The Company recognizes changes to its estimate if it is estimable and probable that its position would not be sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities. Although management believes the Company’s recorded liabilities are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcomes of these matters will not be different from that which its liabilities are based on. To the extent that final tax outcomes of these matters are different than the amounts recorded, such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company records related tax reserves as a reduction in revenue, and penalties and interest in general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded indirect tax liabilities of $14.6 million and $14.9 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies.
401(k) Plan
The Company has a 401(k) Plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their pretax earnings and receive a matching employer contribution of up to 3% of compensation not to exceed the maximum amount allowable. for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company recognized an expense under this plan of $0.1 million and $0.1 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company recognized an expense under this plan of $0.6 million and $0.3 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” and an issued amendment ASU 2025-01 in January 2025 that clarified the effective date. The new standard requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to their financial statements in both annual and interim filings. ASU 2024-03 is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The update provides an optional practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. Under this expedient, entities may assume that current conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of these assets. This ASU is effective with the Company’s 2026 reporting period and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This update modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs by eliminating the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment based approach. Under the amended guidance, entities are required to begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following criteria are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. ASU 2025-06 is effective with the Company’s 2027 reporting period, with early adoption permitted. This ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its financial statements and disclosures.

Revenues from Entry Fees
The Company generates substantially all its revenues through its competition-based Skillz segment by providing a service to game developers for monetization of their game content. The monetization service provided by Skillz allows developers to offer multi-player competition to their end-users for the purpose of end-user retention and engagement. Skillz provides developers with a software development kit (“SDK”) they can download and integrate with their existing games. The SDK serves as a data interface between Skillz and the game developers that enables Skillz to provide monetization services to the developer.
Games provided by three developer partners accounted for 66% and 69% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Games provided by three developer partners accounted for 78% and 79% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
End-User Incentive Programs
To drive traffic to the platform, the Company provides promotions and incentives to end-users in various forms. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives, which are consideration payable to customers, are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the Company pays or promises to pay the incentive. Promotions and incentives recorded as sales and marketing expenses are recognized when we incur the related cost.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a reduction of revenue of $0.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a reduction of revenue of $3.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized sales and marketing expense of $8.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized sales and marketing expense of $10.0 million and $28.4 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives.
From time to time, the Company issues credits or refunds to end-users that are dissatisfied by the level of service provided by the game developer. There is no contractual obligation for the Company to refund such end-users nor is there a valid expectation by game developers for the Company to issue such credits or refunds to end-users on their behalf. The Company accounts for credits or refunds, which are not recoverable from the game developer, as sales and marketing expenses when incurred.
Advertising Revenue
The Company offers a technology platform (i.e. demand side platform, “DSP”) to source available advertising space from its network of vendors / suppliers (aka, advertising exchange partners / publishers), which uses a real-time auction process. The revenue from advertising is recognized over time based on the number of impressions as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers itself the agent of its customer(s). This is due to the Company’s involvement in programmatically placing and sourcing advertisements on behalf of customers via a network of third party publishers. The Company does not, at any time, take ownership of advertising inventory being sourced and placed. Via the DSP, if the Company wins the auction and an impression is served, the customer’s advertisement is displayed on the publisher / supplier’s mobile application.
For performance obligations related to advertising revenue, customers are extended 30 day payment terms from completion of each month’s insertion order and no advertising revenue customers accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s revenue in either of three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company recognizes an asset for incremental costs of obtaining a contract with the customer as long as Management expects to recover these costs. Incremental costs are those that would have not been incurred if the contract did not exist. Examples of incremental costs often capitalized are sales commissions whereas examples of costs that would not be included are internal employee salaries, standard benefits, travel costs, and other / general legal costs. Sales commissions are the only incremental contract costs the Company incurs and are paid based on collected revenue based on the recipient’s assigned accounts. As commissions are typically satisfied within one year after an executed contract, the Company applies the practical expedient under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers.
Maintenance Fee Revenue
When a player becomes inactive on the platform by not participating in a tournament for six consecutive months, the Company will impose a monthly maintenance fee. This fee is charged to the player and recognized as revenue by the Company beginning in the seventh month of inactivity.

- Fair Value Measurements
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Cash and money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Highly liquid investments such as commercial papers and corporate bonds are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |

- Investments
Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year are classified as non-current marketable securities. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
Non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. We have accounted for these investments using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investment is initially recorded as its allocated cost, but the carrying value may be adjusted through earnings upon an impairment or when there is an observable price change involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer. The carrying value of the Company’s investments without readily determinable fair values was $52.8 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and was classified within “Non-marketable equity securities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company did not record any other adjustments to the carrying value of its non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the measurement alternative and did not recognize any gains or losses related to the sale of non-marketable equity securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

2021 Senior Secured Notes
On December 20, 2021, the Company entered into $300 million of 10.25% secured notes (the “2021 Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement to certain institutional buyers. The 2021 Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries. The interest is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. At issuance, the effective interest rate on the 2021 Senior Secured Notes was 12.14%, and maturity will be on December 15, 2026, unless repurchased or redeemed earlier.
On April 13, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately $159.8 million of its senior secured notes. In connection with the repurchase, the Company’s recognized a gain on extinguishment of $15.2 million on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The gain primarily reflected the payment discounts as the notes were redeemed for total consideration below the par value of the notes as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts.
After giving effect to the 2023 and other previous open market repurchases, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $129.7 million of the 2021 Senior Secured Notes remained outstanding and the effective interest rate was 12.09%.
The 2021 Senior Secured Notes contain customary covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur debt, incur liens, make distributions to stockholders, make certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates, together with other financial covenants and public filings of the Company’s financial statements.
As of December 11, 2025, we were not in compliance with certain covenants under the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Secured Notes. In light of the delays in the filing of the Company’s annual financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the interim financial statements on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, on September 30, 2025, the Company received a notice of default (the “Notice of Default”) from UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) under that certain Indenture, dated as of December 20, 2021, between the Company, each of the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (“Indenture”), pertaining to the Company’s outstanding 2021 Senior Secured Notes. The Notice of Default provided that the Company was not in compliance under the terms of the Indenture as a result of the Company’s failure to timely provide the required quarterly and annual reports within the time periods required under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the receipt of the Notice of Default will not result in an Event of Default (as such term is defined under the Indenture) unless the Company remains out of compliance with this reporting covenant for 120 days following receipt of the Notice of Default. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will be deemed to regain compliance with these reporting covenants if it provides all applicable delayed filings within 120 days of receipt of the Notice of Default. The filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K on November 6, 2025 and the filing of the quarterly reports ending March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 constituted, and the filing of this quarterly report for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 will constitute, compliance with the reporting covenant under the Indenture and will complete the necessary steps in order to regain compliance with the terms of the Indenture.
Voluntary prepayments are permitted in whole, or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the Indenture Agreement governing the 2021 Senior Secured Notes, with prior notice, and with a prepayment premium of 3.417% on, or during, the twelve-month period that began on December 15, 2024. Voluntary prepayments made on, or during, the twelve-month period beginning December 15, 2025 are not subject to a prepayment premium.
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the 2021 Senior Secured Notes are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over thefive-year term using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are included as contra-liabilities in long-term debt. The 2021 Senior Secured Notes are classified as Level 2 financial instruments and the Company determined the fair value of the notes was $130.0 million as of September 30, 2025 based on secondary market quotes.
Amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discounts included in interest expense totaled $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following table outlines maturities of the principle related to the Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2025:

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to certain claims, suits, and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course and conduct of its business and has certain unresolved claims pending, the outcomes of which are not determinable at this time. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of loss. In the Company’s opinion, resolution of pending matters, other than as disclosed herein, is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, cash flows, or the Company’s financial position, as of September 30, 2025. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period. However, based on the information known by the Company, except as set forth herein, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated range of any such possible loss. The Company records legal fee expenses associated with such matters when the relevant services are provided.
Former Employee
On May 15, 2019, a former employee of the Company filed a suit against the Company in the San Francisco Superior Court in California for claims including breach of contract, retaliation and wrongful termination. The case was tried in August and September 2021. The jury found in favor of the former employee and rendered a verdict against the Company for $11.6 million in compensatory damages, and the Company recorded a loss contingency accrual of $7.1 million and corresponding general and administrative expenses in such amount in the third quarter of 2021. In April 2022, the judge in the case determined, in light of the Company’s post-verdict motions, that the instructions given to the jury at trial were defective. Accordingly, the judge ordered a new trial on damages or, alternatively, permitted the plaintiff to accept a reduced verdict in the amount of $4.4 million, which the plaintiff subsequently levied from the Company’s bank account. On May 25, 2022, the Company filed an appeal from the judgment seeking, in part, entry of judgment in the Company's favor notwithstanding the verdict. The plaintiff accepted the reduced verdict, and filed an appeal from the judgment on June 7, 2022, seeking in part, to reinstate the jury's original verdict (or an award less than the original verdict but greater than the $4.4 million final judgment) and challenge the trial court’s conclusion that stock options are not “wages,” which was the basis for dismissing his wrongful termination and retaliation claims. Skillz filed its response and reply brief on July 7, 2023. On April 8, 2024, the Court of Appeals issued its decision, affirming the judgment of $4.4 million, with an additional $2.3 million for a total award of $6.7 million. The Court of Appeals also affirmed the dismissal of the wrongful termination and retaliation claims, holding that stock options are not wages. The Court of Appeal’s decision became final, non-appealable and enforceable on May 20, 2024.
On October 11, 2024, the Court issued preliminary legal rulings on post-judgment interest and ordered parties to meet and confer to determine whether an agreement could be reached. The Company and former employee agreed that post-judgment interest of $733 thousand was owed, but the Company objected to any additional amounts as requested by the former employee. On November 21, 2024, the Court adopted the amount of interest owed and denied additional amounts of post-judgment interest that the former employee claimed. On December 9, 2024, the former employee filed a Notice of Appeal challenging the Court’s denial of a substantial amount of post-judgment interest in excess of $733 thousand. On January 8, 2025, the former employee filed an Abandonment of Appeal, thereby terminating the appeal. The Company considers this matter resolved.
Vendor Disputes
Between November 2022 and March 2023, the Company and a vendor entered into several agreements in which the vendor would perform defined professional services. Of the $7.2 million in invoices from the vendor, the Company paid $3.2 million and claimed that the vendor expanded the scope of work without authorization, over billed for its services, performed poorly and unilaterally refused to perform certain agreed upon deliverables. The vendor, in turn, claimed it received proper authorization for the work it performed, completed its contracted-for tasks and that the Company breached the agreements and failed to pay outstanding invoices. The vendor sought $4.0 million in damages, plus interest, attorney fees and costs of litigation. The Company sought counterclaims from the vendors for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and fraudulent inducement and sought approximately $15 million in damages, plus interest, attorney fees and costs of litigation. In March 2025, the vendor and the Company settled the dispute. In exchange for mutual releases of all claims, the Company paid the vendor $2.75 million.
In April 2022, the Company and a vendor entered an agreement to license certain rights to develop vendor branded mobile games. In consideration, the Company agreed to pay the vendor certain monetary amounts over three years and the vendor, in turn, would use good faith efforts to promote the games. In December 2024, the vendor filed a complaint in Nevada seeking damages of $1.3 million for breach of contract, failure to pay royalties and unjust enrichment. In April 2025, the Company and the vendor agreed to mediate the matter that resulted in a settlement where the Company agreed to pay the vendor $533 thousand in June 2025, which represented the past due balances for year one and year two of the agreement that were fully accrued as of December 31, 2024.
Skillz v. AviaGames
On February 9, 2024, a federal jury in San Jose, California issued a verdict in favor of Skillz in a patent infringement action Skillz brought against a privately-held mobile gaming company, AviaGames, on April 5, 2021 (“Patent Case”). The jury found in favor of Skillz on all issues, determining AviaGames willfully infringed Skillz’s U.S. Patent No. 9,649,564, entitled “Peer-to-Peer Wagering Platform” (the “‘564 patent”) and awarding Plaintiff Skillz Platform Inc. (“Skillz”) its full damages request of $42.9 million. After the jury verdict issued, Skillz requested certain post-trial relief, including that the Court permanently enjoin AviaGames from continuing to infringe the ‘564 patent, award Skillz its attorneys’ fees due to the exceptional nature of the case, and treble the damages awarded by the jury. In addition, Skillz, along with game developer Big Run Studios, Inc. (“Big Run”), brought a separate case against AviaGames for false advertising, copyright infringement, and violations of California’s state unfair competition law in federal court in San Francisco, California (“Unfair Competition Case”). On April 13, 2024, Skillz, Big Run, and AviaGames entered into a settlement agreement with respect to both the Patent Case and Unfair Competition Case pending against AviaGames (the “Litigation Settlement”). In exchange for dismissal of both actions and other settlement terms, AviaGames agreed to pay Skillz and Big Run a total of $80.0 million. On April 12, 2024, the Company and Big Run Studio entered into a Side Letter Agreement providing that a portion of the AviaGames settlement funds allocated to Big Run Studio be utilized to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Loan and Security Agreement totaling $2.0 million. See Note 4, Balance Sheet Components.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, Skillz and Big Run collectively received $50.0 million from AviaGames pursuant to the settlement agreement. Of the $50.0 million received, Skillz received $48.0 million, $2.0 million of which was for settlement of the amount outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement with Big Run. Of the $4.0 million allocated to Big Run under the Side Letter Agreement, Big Run received $2.0 million net of the settlement of the Loan and Security Agreement. Beginning in March of 2025, AviaGames is required to pay Skillz an additional $7.5 million annually over afour-year period as royalty payments for AviaGames’ license of the ’564 patent and its patent family; no portion of these payments are due to Big Run.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain from Litigation settlement netting to $46 million consisting of the gross payment of $48.0 million less the $2.0 million received for satisfaction and settlement of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Company recorded the $7.5 million payments received in March 2025 and the amounts to be received in March 2026, 2027 and 2028 as a gain upon receipt of each payment.
Skillz v. Tether Litigation
On August 29, 2025, the Company received a notice (“Notice”) from Tether indicating that Tether is terminating all of its various agreements, as amended, with the Company (the “Tether Agreements”), including the Company’s Developer Terms and Conditions of Service, as amended, effective as of September 1, 2025. The Company believes the termination notice to be invalid and in breach of Tether’s obligations under the Tether Agreements.
Following receipt of the Notice, on September 1, 2025, the Company filed suit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief in relation to Tether’s breach of the Tether Agreements. On October 3, 2025, the Company filed a first amended complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware alleging additional breaches of contract. On October 10, 2025, Tether filed counterclaims against Skillz, alleging: (1) breach of contract; (2) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (3) accounting; (4) unjust enrichment; (5) false designation of origin, false association, and/or unfair competition; and (6) violation of deceptive trade practice at, 6 Del. C. Section 2532. Tether alleges its damages exceed $1 million. On November 13, 2025, Skillz moved to dismiss the majority of Tether’s counterclaims. Skillz motion to dismiss is set for hearing on January 23, 2026. A trial has been scheduled for Skillz’s affirmative claims against Tether and Tether’s counterclaims in August 2026 (See Note 14, Subsequent Events).
Hanna v. Paradise, et. al.
In March 2024, an alleged stockholder filed a putative derivative complaint, Hanna v. Paradise, et al., No. 2024-0228-KSJM, in the Delaware Court of Chancery, purportedly on behalf of Skillz Inc. (“Skillz”) against certain of Skillz’s current and former officers, directors, and certain stockholders. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties, and unjust enrichment arising out of Skillz’s March 2021 underwritten secondary public offering. The complaint asserts that certain of the director and officer defendants breached fiduciary duties to Skillz by allegedly inappropriately selling stock as part of the public offering while in possession of material, non-public information, that the stockholder defendants aided and abetted these alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and that all defendants were unjustly enriched by their sales in the public offering. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and restitution for Skillz from the defendants and the payment of costs and attorneys’ fees. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on June 6, 2024. Plaintiffs responded by voluntarily dismissing 55 of the stockholder defendants but opposing the motion as to all remaining defendants. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed at the end of August 2024. The Court heard oral arguments on the motion to dismiss on January 7, 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Court issued a ruling converting defendants’ motion to dismiss on demand futility grounds to a motion for summary judgment and ordered limited discovery on the independence of a former Skillz director. The Court stayed consideration of defendants’ other dismissal arguments given its ultimate ruling on the demand futility issue could moot these other dismissal arguments. Further briefing in support of summary judgment on demand futility grounds is expected, but no schedule is currently in place for such briefing.
Skillz vs. Voodoo SAS et. al.
On July 1, 2024, Skillz filed suit against Voodoo SAS and two affiliate entities, Esport Newco SAS and Esport Newco US Corp. (collectively, “Voodoo”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In its Complaint, Skillz asserts violations of the Lanham Act's prohibition of false advertising and New York's General Business Law § 349 based on, inter alia, Skillz’s allegations that Voodoo advertises its mobile games offered through the “Blitz Win Cash” application as “fair,” “skill-based,” and for “real players only” when in reality Voodoo is fixing the outcome of its tournaments through the use of computer algorithms or “bots.” On August 22, 2024, Skillz brought a motion for a preliminary injunction, and on September 18, 2024, Voodoo moved to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, to strike certain allegations. Skillz’s and Voodoo’s motions were both mooted when Skillz amended its complaint on October 2, 2024. On October 8, 2024, Skillz renewed its motion for a preliminary injunction and expedited discovery based on the amended complaint, and Voodoo moved to dismiss the amended complaint on October 16, 2024. The preliminary injunction motion and motion to dismiss are both fully briefed and awaiting decisions by the court.
Skillz vs. Papaya Gaming, Ltd., et al.
In March 2024, Skillz sued Papaya Gaming, Ltd. and Papaya Gaming, Inc. (collectively, “Papaya”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging false advertising under the Lanham Act and unfair business practices in connection with Papaya’s marketing of its mobile games as “fair” and “skill-based” despite Papaya’s deployment of algorithmic competitors (“bots”) in its games that win cash prizes for Papaya’s benefit. In June 2024, the Court denied Papaya’s motion to dismiss Skillz’s complaint in its entirety. In September 2024, Papaya filed amended counterclaims against Skillz alleging that Skillz also engaged in false advertising and unfair business practices for purportedly allowing bots in games on Skillz’s platform, defamation for Skillz’s alleged involvement in a non-profit organization that collected and published data related to customer complaints to state attorney generals related to Papaya’s and other companies’ alleged fraudulent bot use, and purported trademark and copyright infringement of design elements of certain games, among other things. In March 2025, the Court dismissed Papaya’s defamation counterclaims and severed Papaya’s intellectual property claims. Following the Court’s rulings, Papaya voluntarily dismissed its intellectual claims against Skillz. The parties have completed discovery and have submitted to the Court summary judgment filings and motions to exclude various experts. The parties are awaiting the Court’s rulings (See Note 14, Subsequent Events) .
Lien, et al. v. Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC, et al.
On October 31, 2022, a class action was filed, Darcy Lien v. Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC, et al., Case No. 2022-0972-PAF, in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC and certain of the former officers and directors (the “Individual D&O Defendants”) of Flying Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“Flying Eagle”). This litigation does not name Skillz or any of Skillz’s current directors in their capacity as such. Plaintiffs allege that the Individual D&O Defendants (i) failed to exercise proper due diligence and process in connection with Flying Eagle’s transaction with Skillz and (ii) made misleading statements in Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission in connection with the transaction. Defendants filed their initial motion to dismiss on February 17, 2023. Plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint on April 12, 2023. Defendant’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed on June 2, 2023. Plaintiff’s opposition was filed July 17, 2023, and defendant’s reply was filed August 21, 2023. Oral argument was held on the motion to dismiss on January 5, 2024, and on May 29, 2024 the court denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss. In November 2024, Skillz filed suit against its insurance carrier for D&O insurance coverage and on January 17, 2025, the insurance carrier agreed to pay a total of $9.8 million to the Company in connection with this matter’s settlement agreement. Of those funds, $1.3 million was received in the quarter ending March 31, 2025 and was used to pay for defense costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Skillz received the remaining $8.5 million. Following certain discovery, on March 27, 2025, the parties executed a term sheet to settle the action in principle for $10.0 million, subject to completing settlement documentation and obtaining court approval. On May 19, 2025, the parties executed a settlement stipulation, subject to Court approval. As the successor to Flying Eagle, Skillz is obligated to indemnify and pay legal costs of the Individual D&O Defendants of Flying Eagle in their capacities as such in connection with this action and, as such recorded an expense of $10.0 million, offset by the insurance proceeds of $9.8 million, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Termination of Operating Lease
In May 2019, the Company leased its former headquarters with a landlord (the “Landlord”). From February 2024 to April 2025, the Landlord served demand letters and notices of default on the Company asserting that the Company failed to pay the lease obligations. In April 2025, the Company and the Landlord executed a settlement dismissing with prejudice the dispute and fully resolving the matter. In exchange for mutual releases, the Company paid the Landlord a lump sum payment of $14.0 million to settle its operating lease liability. The Company recorded a loss on termination of the operating lease of $0.4 million representing the difference between the settlement amount and the carrying value of the lease obligation which was recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Indirect Taxes
The Company is subject to indirect taxes, including sales and use tax in the United States and value-add tax in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has indirect tax liabilities totaling $14.6 million and $14.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, associated with indirect taxes based on currently available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based on an evaluation of relevant factors. Indirect tax liabilities are adjusted considering changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax examination, further interpretation of existing tax law, or new tax law. We recognize changes to our estimate if it is estimable and probable that our position would not be sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities. Although management believes our recorded liabilities are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcomes of these matters will not be different from that which our liabilities are based on. The Company’s application of the revenue code for indirect taxes in certain jurisdictions, including those within the United States, may be challenged by taxing authorities in those jurisdictions. The Company is in the process of filing self-disclosure returns in unregistered jurisdictions. Any associated assessments may result in additional tax liabilities. The Company does not currently anticipate that any such assessments will result in a material increase in the liabilities (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
The Company is currently undergoing an examination in the State of Washington regarding its indirect tax liability.
- Share Repurchase Program
On August 18, 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company was authorized to repurchase, at any time or from time to time, but for a period no longer than one year from the date of authorization, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $65.0 million. Such purchases may be made on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange on which the common stock is then traded. The Share Repurchase Program is pursuant to a plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and/or pursuant to accelerated share repurchase arrangements, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. On December 5, 2024, the Board reapproved the Share Repurchase Program and extended the expiration date until otherwise suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason by the Board.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 1.4 million and 1.8 million shares at a weighted average price of $5.39 and $5.99 per share for an aggregate value of $7.7 million and $10.8 million, respectively under the Share Repurchase Program.

- Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $40.0 thousand and $32.0 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represented an effective tax rate of negative 0.23% and 0.15% for the respective periods. The Company's provision for income taxes was $59.0 thousand and $142.0 thousand to continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represented an effective tax rate of negative 0.11% and 0.66%, respectively. The effective tax rates were less than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to book losses, state taxes and equity award activities, mostly offset by a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA” or the “Act”) was signed into law, enacting significant changes to U.S. federal tax regulations. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes, the effects of new tax legislation are required to be recognized in the period of enactment, which for the Company is the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The total net impact of the tax law changes on the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was not material. A discrete adjustment of approximately $866 thousand was made to the existing deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability that were fully offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. OBBBA adjustments impacting these deferred balances relate to the restoration of bonus depreciation for qualifying assets and the inclusion of Section 174A which allows taxpayers to fully expense domestic research expenditures.
- Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-making group (the “CODM”). Our CODM consists of the Chief Executive Officer who allocates resources and measures profitability based on our operating segments, which are managed and reviewed separately, as each represents products and services that can be sold separately to our customers. The CODM does not review information regarding total assets on a reportable segment basis. Effective in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company hadtwo operating and reporting segments.
A description of the Company’stwo reportable segments, as determined by our CODM, is as follows:

Skillz v. Papaya Litigation
On October 28, 2025, the Judge denied Papaya’s motion for summary judgment as to Skillz’s claims against Papaya. The Court also denied Papaya’s motion to exclude Skillz’s survey and damages experts.

On July 3, 2025, the Court issued a ruling converting defendants’ motion to dismiss on demand futility grounds to a motion for summary judgment and ordered limited discovery on the independence of a former Skillz director. The Court stayed consideration of defendants’ other dismissal arguments given its ultimate ruling on the demand futility issue could moot these other dismissal arguments. Further briefing in support of summary judgment on demand futility grounds is expected, but no schedule is currently in place for such briefing(see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies).
