Previous wording
As previously disclosed, we have implemented a business strategy and transformation plan intended to deliver durable member value and drive long-term sustainable revenue. As part of this strategy, we have focused on fostering a vibrant and healthy membership base and improving the member experience through product innovation, including modernizing our technology and increased use of artificial intelligence in our products and in the optimization of our operations. To align with these priorities, we have rebalanced our marketing investment, increasing our focus on brand and organic demand generation while optimizing performance marketing to efficiently acquire high-quality, incremental members who strengthen the health of our membership base. As we transition from the completion of the quality reset to our membership base, our primary focus has shifted to improving the member experience through product innovation, enabled by our ongoing investment in a more modern technology platform, including application re-architecture, migration to cloud hosting, and adoption of select vendor solutions to replace certain homegrown systems. As we address these areas of focus, our revenue and paying users have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted in the short term. Furthermore, if we do not successfully implement this strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In April 2026, certain of our subsidiaries entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2026 Credit Agreement”) providing for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $475.0 million, which matures in April 2030. We used proceeds from the 2026 Credit Agreement, together with cash on hand, to repay in full and terminate our existing indebtedness under the 2020 Credit Agreement (as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). The 2026 term loan bears interest, at the borrower's election, at a rate equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 8.0% or a base rate plus 7.0%. As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate in effect for the 2026 term loan was 11.62%, compared with interest rates of 7.18% and 7.68% for the Original Term Loan and Incremental Term Loan, respectively, under the 2020 Credit Agreement (each as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below) as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the April 2026 debt refinancing, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.5 million, consisting primarily of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. For additional information, see Note 8, Debt, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, “Item 1 – Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.2%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in interest income on our interest rate swaps, partially offset by an increase in interest expense associated with the term loan under the 2026 Credit Agreement following the April 2026 refinancing.
Current wording
Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $4.1 million, or 38.3%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in interest expense associated with the term loan under the 2026 Credit Agreement following the April 2026 refinancing and a decrease in our interest income from lower investment balances in money market funds.
Previous wording
Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $3.6 million, or 35.1%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in interest expense associated with the term loan under the 2026 Credit Agreement following the April 2026 refinancing, a decrease in our interest income from lower investments balances in money market funds, partially offset by an increase in interest income on our interest rate swaps.

Income tax benefit was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.5 million expense for the same period in 2025. Income tax expense was $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2025. The change in income tax for both periods was primarily due to the geographical distribution of the Company's earnings and a resulting decrease in foreign taxes, including Pillar Two minimum taxes, and the Company's inability to recognize tax benefits on losses in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and the recording of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets.
Current wording
Income tax expense was $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2025, and $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2025. The change in income tax for both periods was primarily due to the geographical distribution of the Company's earnings and a resulting decrease in foreign taxes, including Pillar Two minimum taxes, and the Company's inability to recognize tax benefits on losses in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by nondeductible stock-based compensation and the recording of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets.

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") released the Pillar Two model rules providing a framework for implementing a 15% minimum tax, also referred to as the Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules, on earnings of multinational companies with consolidated annual revenue exceeding €750 million. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in certain jurisdictions where we operate, including the UK and certain EU member states, and is effective for our financial year beginning January 1, 2024. We have performed an assessment of our exposure to Pillar Two income taxes, including our ability to qualify for transitional safe harbor relief under the GloBE rules. While we expect to qualify for transitional safe harbor relief in most jurisdictions in which we operate, there are a limited number of jurisdictions where the transitional safe harbor is not available, including for certain entities classified as “stateless” constituent entities under the Pillar Two model rules. Our income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, includes the effects of Pillar Two minimum taxes based on currently enacted legislation and guidance. We are monitoring the implementation of Pillar Two legislation (both proposed and enacted) by individual countries, including administrative guidance on the application of the GloBE rules, and will continue to evaluate the potential impact to our financial position. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released Administrative Guidance containing the Side-by-Side agreement (“SbS System”) as part of a broader package of Administrative Guidance on Pillar Two. The SbS System introduces two new Pillar Two safe harbors: (i) the Side-by-Side Safe Harbor (“SbS SH”) for MNE Groups headquartered in jurisdictions with both eligible domestic and worldwide tax systems; and (ii) the Ultimate Parent Entity Safe Harbor (“UPE SH”) for MNE Groups with a UPE located in a jurisdiction that has an eligible domestic tax system but not an eligible worldwide tax system. The Central Record for purposes of the Global Minimum Tax was updated on January 5, 2026 to reflect that the United States is an eligible jurisdiction for the SbS SH. We expect the SbS SH to have a significant future impact to the Company and our Pillar Two computations, however, given the absence of implementing legislation as of June 30, 2026, no impact has been recorded for thesix months ended June 30, 2026. Accordingly, we are still evaluating the potential consequences of Pillar Two on our longer-term financial position.

On July 13, 2026, the UK published draft legislation implementing the OECD's Pillar Two guidance on the SbS SH into UK domestic law. While the draft legislation has not yet been implemented as of September 30, 2026, the proposed provisions are intended to apply retrospectively to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. At this time, we expect the SbS SH to have a significant future impact to the Company and our Pillar Two computations.
