Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(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, 2024. 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, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
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 (“TPG Pace”) 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 equity (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 November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (i.e., Nerdy’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027), and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company’s adoption of this ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expense captions reported on the face of the income statement but will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 calls for a prospective method of adoption, but a retrospective method of adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to income taxes but will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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.
| June 30,2025 | December 31,2024 | |

“Accounts receivable, net” is reported net of reserves of $842 and $781 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025.
The effective income tax rate was (0.62)% and (0.36)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate was (0.26)% and (0.23)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed significantly from the statutory rates in both the 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 all periods represents amounts owed to state authorities.
On July 4, 2025, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the OBBBA on its financial statements and will continue to monitor any future developments or interpretive guidance.

NOTE 11 —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, 2025, Nerdy Inc. has not recognized a liability of $117,228 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, 2025 or 2024. 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 12 —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. No expense was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to this matter for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. At December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $2,000 for this matter, which was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Court approved the aforementioned settlement, which Varsity Tutors paid in the first quarter of 2025.
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, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 13 —SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company hasone reportable segment: Tutoring. The Tutoring Segment generates revenue by selling services to Learners and Institutions for one-on-one instruction and small group tutoring that are fulfilled by Experts, who deliver instruction on its behalf through its proprietary Live Learning Platform. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.
The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The Company’s CODM assesses performance of the Tutoring Segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that also is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net Loss.” Consolidated net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results in order to assess the performance of the Tutoring Segment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Total Assets.” The segment additions to property are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as “Capital expenditures.”
Substantially all of the Company’s tangible long-lived assets and revenues are located within the U.S. The Company does not have a customer that accounted for more than 10% of its consolidated net sales. See Note 4 for the Company’s revenue by business.
