(in thousands, except per share information and where indicated otherwise)

NOTE 1 —BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BACKGROUND

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of Nerdy Inc. (herein referred to as “Nerdy,” the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Nerdy and its consolidated subsidiaries) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Nerdy Inc., a member of Nerdy LLC (as defined below), has the right to appoint a majority of the managers of Nerdy LLC and therefore, controls Nerdy LLC. As a result, the financial results of Nerdy LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and a portion of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below) are entitled to or are required to absorb, are allocated to the noncontrolling interests (the “NCI”).

Background

Nerdy Inc. was formed on September 20, 2021 in connection with a business combination between TPG Pace Tech Opportunities and Live Learning Technologies LLC (along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “Nerdy LLC”). Nerdy LLC is a holding company that is the sole owner of multiple operating companies, including Varsity Tutors LLC (“Varsity Tutors”) and Varsity Tutors for Schools LLC (“Varsity Tutors for Schools”). As a result of the business combination and related transactions, Nerdy LLC merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nerdy Inc., with Nerdy LLC surviving such merger. Nerdy Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership interests in Nerdy LLC and its indirect interests in the subsidiaries of Nerdy LLC, and has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow.

Nerdy Inc. has the following classes of securities issued and outstanding: (i) Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”). The shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the Legacy Nerdy Holders (as defined below), have voting rights only, and have no dividend or economic rights. The Company does not intend to list its Class B Common Stock on any stock exchange. Nerdy LLC has units issued and outstanding (the “OpCo Units”) to its members, the legacy holders of Nerdy LLC (the “Legacy Nerdy Holder(s)”) and Nerdy Inc. Nerdy Inc. and Nerdy LLC will at all times maintain aone-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock issued by Nerdy Inc. and the number of OpCo Units issued by Nerdy LLC.

NOTE 2 —RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and based on current information, has concluded that there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have an impact on its results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial condition, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit).

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025), with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires a prospective method of adoption, but allows for a retrospective method of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 updates reportable segment disclosure primarily by requiring disclosures of significant segment expenses, while also aligning interim and annual disclosure requirements under ASC Topic 280. Additionally, this requires a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in ASC Topic 280. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires a retrospective method of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its disclosures.

NOTE 3 —NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of June 30, 2024, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 65,427 OpCo Units, equal to 36.8% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 65,427 shares of Class B Common Stock. As of December 31, 2023, Legacy Nerdy Holders owned 67,256 OpCo Units equal to 38.7% of the economic interest in Nerdy LLC, and 67,256 shares of Class B Common Stock.

Nerdy Inc. owned 63.2% and 61.3% of the outstanding OpCo Units as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The financial results of Nerdy LLC and its subsidiaries were consolidated with and into Nerdy Inc., and the portions of the consolidated net earnings (loss) of Nerdy LLC, which the Legacy Nerdy Holders were entitled to or required to absorb, was allocated to NCI. At the end of each reporting period, Nerdy LLC equity attributable to Nerdy Inc. and the Legacy Nerdy Holders was rebalanced to reflect Nerdy Inc.’s and the Legacy Nerdy Holders’ ownership in Nerdy LLC. Prior to the earnout transaction in September 2023 (the Company’s third quarter), the Company excluded earnouts in the calculation of the ownership interests in Nerdy LLC as the earnouts were subject to forfeiture.

The following table summarizes the changes in ownership of OpCo Units in Nerdy LLC, excluding earnouts, for the periods presented.

NOTE 4 —REVENUE

The following table presents the Company’s revenue by business category for the periods presented.

(a)Other consists of EduNation Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales, and other services.

Contract liabilities are reported within “Deferred revenue” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of advanced payments from customers for performance obligations that have not been satisfied. Deferred revenue is recognized when the performance obligations have been completed. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of the deferred revenue balance in the next twelve months. The following table presents the Company’s “Accounts receivable, net” and “Deferred revenue” reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

“Accounts receivable, net” is reported net of reserves of $623 and $544 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 5 —INCOME TAXES

Nerdy Inc. holds an economic interest in Nerdy LLC (see Notes 1 and 3), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Nerdy LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income (loss) or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Nerdy Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the net taxable income (loss) and any related tax credits of Nerdy LLC. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Nerdy Inc. as of June 30, 2024.

The effective income tax rate was (0.26)% and (0.23)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and (0.96)% and (0.20)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both current and prior year periods, primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and income tax benefit attributable to the NCI. Income tax expense reported in both current and prior year periods represents amounts owed to state authorities.

NOTE 6 —LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

NOTE 10 —DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Prior to the warrant and earnout transactions in September 2023 (the Company’s third quarter), the Company had issued and outstanding warrants and earnouts to non-employees. The warrants and earnouts held by non-employees were not in the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” and were classified as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” or ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”The following table presents the effects of the Company’s derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented.

NOTE 11 —FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and accounts payable for which the carrying value approximates fair value due to their short maturities (less than 12 months). Certain assets and liabilities, including definite-lived assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no fair value measurement adjustments recognized related to definite-lived assets or goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

NOTE 12 —RELATED PARTIES

Tax Receivable Agreement

Nerdy Inc. has a tax receivable agreement with certain Legacy Nerdy Holders (the “TRA Holder(s)”) (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by Nerdy Inc. to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that Nerdy Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of: (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of (A) the reverse recapitalization (including as a result of cash received in the Reverse Recapitalization and debt repayment occurring in connection with the reverse recapitalization) or (B) exercises of the redemption or call rights set forth in the Nerdy LLC operating agreement; and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Nerdy Inc. as a result of, and additional basis arising from, any payments Nerdy Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Nerdy Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.

As of June 30, 2024, Nerdy Inc. has not recognized a liability of $117,399 under the Tax Receivable Agreement after concluding it was not probable that such Tax Receivable Agreement payments would be paid based on its estimates of Nerdy’s LLC future taxable income. Nerdy Inc. did not make any payments to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. If the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets applicable to the tax attributes referenced above is released in a future period, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be considered probable at that time and recorded within the statement of operations.

NOTE 13 —COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

Independent Contractor Classification Matters

The Company, through its consolidated subsidiaries, is subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings at the federal, state, and municipal levels challenging the classification of third-party Experts on its platform as independent contractors, and claims that, by the alleged misclassification, it has violated various labor and other laws that would apply to employees. The Company disputes any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters.

In 2019, a Complaint was filed in a Superior California Court against Varsity Tutors alleging that Varsity Tutors misclassified California tutors as independent contractors as opposed to employees in violation of the California Labor Code and seeking penalties and other remedies under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). In October 2023, Varsity Tutors agreed to a tentative settlement in this matter that remains subject to Court approval (as required by PAGA), which is expected in the third or fourth quarter of 2024. No expense was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these matters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company expensed $450 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which was included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, related to this matter. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $2,000 for this matter, which was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Other

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and actions in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the information presently known, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, as well as from asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, taking into account established accrual for estimated liabilities (if any), are not expected to be material individually or in the aggregate to the consolidated financial condition, result of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
