CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “might,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “seek,” “would” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition liquidity and results of operations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in our subsequent periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Item 1A. Risk Factors. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law.
Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

EVERQUOTE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
EverQuote, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2008. Through its internet websites, the Company operates an online marketplace for consumers shopping for property and casualty insurance. The Company generates revenue primarily by selling consumer referrals to insurance provider customers, consisting of carriers and agents, and indirect distributors in the United States.
The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties common to companies in similar industries and stages of development including, but not limited to, rapid technological changes, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, customer concentration, patent litigation, the need to obtain additional financing to support growth and dependence on third parties and key individuals.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. As of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, without considering borrowing availability under the Company’s credit facility.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been made. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and the valuation of accounts receivable, the expensing and capitalization of website and software development costs, goodwill, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in periods in which they become known. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and of Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at accredited financial institutions. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
The Company sells its consumer referrals to insurance provider customers, consisting of carriers and agents, and indirect distributors in the United States. For the three months ended September 30, 2025,
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect industry practices and business risk. The Company monitors economic conditions to identify facts or circumstances that may indicate that its receivables are at risk of collection. The Company provides an allowance against accounts receivable for estimated losses, if any, that may result from a customer’s inability to pay based on the composition of its accounts receivable, current economic conditions, and historical credit loss activity. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the allowance. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily by selling consumer referrals to its insurance provider customers, including insurance carriers, agents and indirect distributors. The Company also generated revenue from commission fees for the sale of policies, primarily in its automotive insurance vertical as part of its direct to consumer agency. In May 2025, the Company sold the right to receive commissions under its remaining property and casualty carrier contracts related to its direct to consumer agency to settle a litigation matter (see Note 8).
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
11
Table of Contents
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when collectibility of the consideration to which the Company is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer is determined to be probable. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.
Referral Revenue
The Company recognizes referral revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by delivering the referrals to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those referrals.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company presents disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by distribution channel, as the distribution channel impacts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue, and by vertical market segment. The Company’s direct distribution channel consists of insurance carriers and third-party agents. The Company’s indirect distribution channel consists of insurance aggregators and media networks who purchase referrals with the intent to resell. Revenue generated via the Company’s direct distribution channel is generally higher per referral than revenue generated by the Company’s indirect distribution channels and provides the Company with additional insights and data regarding insurance provider demand and referral performance.
Total revenue is comprised of revenue from the following distribution channels:

Table of Contents
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units. For periods in which the Company reported a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) to introduce a practical expedient to calculating current expected credit loss by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. This expedient can only be applied to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual periods, and this update is applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual periods in which financials have not been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
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, which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (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 the function intended. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases
The Company leases office space under various non-cancelable operating leases. There have been no material changes to the Company’s leases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. For additional information, please read Note 12, Leases, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Indemnification Agreements
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to third parties and enters into commitments and guarantees (“Agreements”) under which it may be required to make payments. The duration of these Agreements varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Furthermore, many of these Agreements do not limit the Company’s maximum potential payment exposure. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.
Through September 30, 2025, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification obligations. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On May 1, 2025, the Company agreed to sell to Messrs. Presto and Hames (collectively, the “Buyers”) the right to receive commissions under the remaining property and casualty carrier contracts related to its direct to consumer agency and certain related software and obligations related to that commission stream by entering into and contemporaneously closing a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Buyers.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had recorded a litigation accrual of $
The Company is from time to time subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe, based on its current knowledge, that the outcome of any of these other legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ultimate outcome of any other legal proceedings involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties, and cannot be predicted with certainty. It is possible that an adverse outcome of any matter could be material to the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole for any particular reporting period of occurrence. In addition, it is possible that a matter may prompt litigation or additional investigations or proceedings by other government agencies or private litigants.
9. Retirement Plan
The Company has established a defined-contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who meet defined minimum age and service requirements, and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. As currently established, the Company is not required to make any contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributed $

(1) Cash operating expense is primarily comprised of personnel-related costs, technology service costs, professional fees and office-related costs included in cost and operating expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and does not include non-cash depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation amounts that are included in cost and operating expenses and legal settlement expense that is also included in cost and operating expenses.
(2) Other segment items, net included within net income include depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation amounts that are non-cash items included in cost and operating expenses, and legal settlement expense that is considered a non-recurring operating expense, as well as interest income and income taxes. These amounts are also reported within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows. See the consolidated financial statements for financial information regarding other segment items, net and the Company’s operating segment.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset as it was deemed more likely than not the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. At each reporting period the Company evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. Based on the Company's recent trend of pre-tax income, it is possible that in the near future, which could be as early as the fourth quarter of 2025, there may be sufficient positive evidence to release a portion or all of its valuation allowance. Release of any amount of valuation allowance would result in a benefit to income taxes for the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net income. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release is subject to management judgment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below, elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Item 1A. Risk Factors, and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
We operate a leading online marketplace for insurance shopping, connecting consumers with insurance provider customers, which includes both carriers and agents. Our vision is to be the leading growth partner for P&C insurance providers. Our results-driven marketplace, powered by our proprietary data and technology platform, is improving the way insurance providers attract and connect with consumers shopping for insurance.
We operate a marketplace to connect insurance providers to a large volume of high-intent, pre-validated consumer referrals that match the insurers’ specific underwriting and profitability requirements. The transparency of our marketplace, as well as the campaign management tools we offer, are designed to make it easy for insurance carriers and third-party agents to evaluate the performance of their marketing spend on our platform and manage their own return on investment. We present consumers with a single starting point for a comprehensive insurance shopping experience where consumers can engage with insurance carriers through multiple channels based on their preferences. Our marketplace enables consumers to choose to visit an insurance provider’s website to purchase a policy or engage with a carrier or agent by phone or submit their data to insurance providers to receive quotes. Our services are free for consumers, and we derive our revenue principally from consumer inquires sold as referrals to insurance providers.
In the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our total revenue was $173.9 million and $144.5 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 20.3%. We had net income of $18.9 million and $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had $25.1 million and $18.8 million in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our total revenue was $497.2 million and $352.7 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 41.0%. We had net income of $41.6 million and $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had $69.5 million and $39.3 million in adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See the section titled “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure” for information regarding our use of adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income (loss) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future growth depend on a number of factors that present opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below, elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Item 1A. Risk Factors, and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Auto insurance industry risk
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we derived 90% and 88%, respectively, of our revenue from auto insurance providers and our financial results depend on the performance of the auto insurance industry. Furthermore, total revenue from our two largest auto insurance carrier customers was 37% and 11%, respectively, of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In 2023 and 2022, the auto insurance industry experienced deteriorated underwriting performance due to a rise in claims, inflation, and inadequate policy premiums. This deteriorated underwriting performance caused our insurance carrier customers to reduce spending on new customer acquisition, which had a negative impact on the pricing and demand for consumer referrals in our marketplace throughout 2023. The state of the auto insurance market remains volatile, and while we have seen improvements in spending patterns, including from our larger carrier customers, not all of our carrier customers have increased their spend in a proportional or significant manner, and a full recovery could be prolonged by further cost inflation, including the impact of increased tariffs; increased claim severity and frequency; or insufficient policy premium increases.

Expanding consumer traffic
Our success depends in part on the growth of our consumer traffic. We have historically increased consumer traffic to our marketplace by expanding existing advertising channels and adding new channels such as by engaging with consumers through our verified partner network. Over the long term, we plan to increase consumer traffic by leveraging the features and growing the data assets of our platform. While we plan to grow consumer traffic, we have the ability to decrease advertising spend when the revenue associated with such consumer traffic does not result in incremental profit to our business or in response to lower demand for consumer referrals. Further, our profitability will be impacted by our ability to acquire quote requests in significant volume, at prices that are attractive, and that represent high-intent shoppers for which insurance providers will purchase referrals.
Increasing the number of insurance providers and their respective spend in our marketplace
Our success also depends on our ability to retain and grow our insurance provider network. Historically, we have generally expanded both the number of insurance providers and the spend per provider on our platform. However, we have also experienced periods of decreasing carrier spend in the automotive insurance vertical as described above.
Regulation
Our revenue and earnings may fluctuate from time to time as a result of changes to federal, state, and industry-based laws and regulations, or changes to standards concerning the enforcement thereof. Our business could be affected directly because we operate websites, conduct telephonic and email marketing, and collect, store, share, and use consumer information and other data. Our business also could be affected indirectly if our customers were to adjust their operations as a result of regulatory changes and enforcement activity. For example, on January 26, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, published regulations which, among other things, would have amended the consent requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, by requiring “one-to-one consent” for outbound telemarketing calls or texts made using an automatic telephone dialing system or pre-recorded or artificial voice messages to wireless or residential numbers. On January 24, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit vacated these amended regulations, which were scheduled to go into effect on January 27, 2025. Also, on June 20, 2025, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Hobbs Act does not bind district courts in civil enforcement proceedings to an agency’s interpretation of a statute, including the FCC’s interpretation of the TCPA. It remains unclear whether or how government agencies or legislatures will revisit telephone call consent issues.
In addition, a number of states have enacted (and others are considering) broad data privacy laws that could affect our business. Although it remains unclear how these new privacy laws may be modified or interpreted, their effects could have an impact on our business, and may require us to modify our data use practices and policies and incur compliance-related costs and expenses.
Key Business Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including GAAP operating results and the key metrics listed below, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make operating and strategic decisions. Some of these metrics are non-financial metrics or are financial metrics that are not defined by GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, legal settlement expense, interest income and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to supplement the financial information we present on a GAAP basis. We monitor and present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Also, Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. For further explanation of the uses and limitations of this measure and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), please see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure”.
Variable Marketing Dollars and Margin
We define variable marketing dollars, or VMD, as revenue, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, less advertising costs (a component of sales and marketing expense, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income). We define variable marketing margin, or VMM, as VMD divided by revenue.
We use VMD and VMM to measure the efficiency of individual advertising and consumer acquisition sources and to make trade-off decisions to manage our return on advertising. We do not use VMD or VMM as a measure of profitability.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate our revenue primarily from consumer inquiries sold as referrals to insurance provider customers, consisting of carriers and agents, as well as to indirect distributors. To simplify the quoting process for the consumer and improve performance for the provider, we are able to provide consumer-submitted quote request data along with each referral. We recognize revenue from consumer referrals at the time of delivery. We support three secure consumer referral formats:
For the periods presented, our total revenue consisted of revenue generated within our insurance verticals as follows:

We expect an overall increase in revenue in 2025 as compared to 2024, driven by our automotive and home and renters verticals, as we anticipate increased spending from our carrier partners. We expect revenue from our other insurance verticals to be insignificant in 2025 as a result of our focus on the P&C market.
Cost and Operating Expenses
Our cost and operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, and legal settlement expense.
We allocate certain overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities, office supplies and depreciation and amortization of general office assets, to cost of revenue and operating expense categories based on headcount. As a result, an overhead expense allocation is reflected in cost of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs included in cost of revenue and operating expense categories include wages, fringe benefit costs and stock-based compensation expense.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of the costs of operating our marketplace and delivering consumer referrals to our customers. These costs consist primarily of technology service costs including hosting, software, data services, and third-party call center costs. In addition, cost of revenue includes depreciation and amortization of our platform technology assets and personnel-related costs.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising and marketing expenditures as well as personnel-related costs for employees engaged in sales, marketing, data analytics and consumer acquisition functions and amortization of sales and marketing-related intangible assets. Advertising expenditures consist of variable costs that are related to attracting consumers to our marketplace, generating consumer quote requests, including the cost of quote requests we acquire from our verified partner network, and promoting our marketplace to carriers and agents. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing costs consist primarily of content and creative development, public relations, memberships, and event costs. We expect our sales and marketing expense will increase as we expect increased carrier spend for referrals, which will impact our advertising expenditures.
23
Table of Contents
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs for software development and product management. We have focused our research and development efforts on improving ease of use and functionality of our existing marketplace platform and developing new offerings and internal tools. We primarily expense research and development costs. Direct development costs related to software enhancements that add functionality are capitalized and amortized as a component of cost of revenue. We expect that research and development expense will increase modestly in 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily due to personnel-related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense consists of personnel-related costs and related expenses for executive, finance, legal, human resources, technical support and administrative personnel as well as the costs associated with professional fees for external legal, accounting and other consulting services, insurance premiums and payment processing and billing costs. We expect that general and administrative expense will increase in 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily due to personnel-related costs.
Legal settlement
Legal settlement includes costs associated with the settlement of our litigation with the former owners of certain entities acquired in 2021 (see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, legal settlement expense, interest income and income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). We monitor and present in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these items in calculating adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.
We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison.

Revenue also increased in our home and renters vertical by $2.1 million due to an increase in carrier spend for referrals.

Cost of revenue decreased by $0.7 million from $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due primarily to a decrease in amortization expense and to a lesser extent, decreases in lead verification costs and personnel-related costs. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to certain assets being fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenue decreased by $0.6 million from $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Decreases in personnel-related costs of $0.6 million related primarily to decreased headcount in our call center were partially offset by increases of $0.4 million in third-party call center costs due to a net increase in call volume and increased usage of the third-party call center. Amortization expense also decreased primarily due to certain assets being fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, an increase in technology costs was fully offset by decreases in lead verification services and office and occupancy costs due to lower rent expense.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3.2 million from $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs of $1.8 million due to increased stock-based compensation of $2.0 million. Consulting fees, legal fees and bank service fees also increased by $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.
Legal Settlement
There was no legal settlement expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Legal settlement expense was $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Legal settlement expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of costs to settle the litigation of $7.8 million and legal expense related to the settlement of $0.4 million. For additional information, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income increased by $0.4 million and $1.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, due to an increase in interest earned on our cash balances. Other income (expense), net was not significant for any periods presented.

Table of Contents
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million and an income tax expense of $0.7 million, respectively. We recorded an income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the favorable impact of changes to domestic research expensing for tax purposes under the OBBBA. Income tax expense of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted primarily of state income taxes as well as federal income taxes for the portion of our taxable income that was not offset by net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, consisting primarily of state income taxes as well as federal income taxes for the portion of our taxable income that was not offset by net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we maintained a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset as it was deemed more likely than not the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. At each reporting period we evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets. Based on our recent trend of pre-tax income, it is possible that in the near future, which could be as early as the fourth quarter of 2025, there may be sufficient positive evidence to release a portion or all of our valuation allowance. Release of any amount of valuation allowance would result in a benefit to income taxes for the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net income. Release of the valuation allowance is subject to management judgment.

The increase in variable marketing dollars in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to increased carrier spend. The decrease in variable marketing margin for the same periods was due to competitive pricing for advertising spend and the relative mix of referral types.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $145.8 million and up to $60.0 million of availability under our revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit.
On August 1, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement, providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility, among us, as borrower, Western Alliance Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, or the Agent, and as a lender itself, and the other lenders party thereto, or collectively, the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $60.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit. Subject to customary terms and conditions (including the absence of any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement), we shall have the right, from time to time, to request incremental revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed up to $25.0 million during the term of the Credit Agreement. Availability under the Credit Agreement will terminate on August 1, 2028, or the Revolving Commitment Period, and all outstanding
29
Table of Contents
revolving loans must be paid on or before such date. We will pay a commitment fee of 0.075% per annum on the average daily unused portion of commitments under the Credit Agreement during the Revolving Commitment Period.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Revolving Facility cannot exceed 85% of eligible accounts receivable balances. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at our election, at a per annum rate equal to (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate for a one-month tenor, or the Term SOFR, plus 2.10% or (ii) the higher of the “prime rate” quoted in The Wall Street Journal, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System plus 0.50%, or Term SOFR plus 1.00%, or the ABR, plus 1.10%. We may elect, from time to time, to convert all or any part of our Term SOFR loans to ABR loans or to convert all or any part of the ABR loans to Term SOFR loans. In an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and until such event is no longer continuing, the annual interest rate to be charged will be the annual rate otherwise applicable to borrowings at such time plus 2.00%.
Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and property. Under the Credit Agreement, we have agreed to certain affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements to which we will remain subject until maturity. The covenants include limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain fundamental business transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions of other businesses. In addition, under the Credit Agreement and through the maturity date, for any period we do not maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.30 to 1.00, defined as the ratio of (1) the sum of (x) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held at the Lenders plus (y) net accounts receivable reflected on our balance sheet (excluding accounts receivable that are more than 90 days past due, intercompany receivables, and receivables subject to dispute) to (2) current liabilities, including all borrowings outstanding under Credit Agreement, but excluding the current portion of deferred revenue (in each case determined substantially in accordance with GAAP), the Agent shall have the ability to use our cash receipts to repay outstanding obligations until such time as the Adjusted Quick Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.30 to 1.00 for two consecutive months.
On July 22, 2025, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of our Class A common stock for one year from the board approval date. Share repurchases under the $50.0 million program may be made from time to time on the open market, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or by other legally permissible means. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time, without prior notice. The number of shares to be repurchased will depend on market conditions and other factors. Repurchases under the program are expected to be funded from a combination of existing cash balances and future cash flow. In August 2025, we repurchased $21.0 million of Class A shares from an entity affiliated with funds advised by our board chairman and co-founder and other affiliated entities of this individual, and as of September 30, 2025, $29.0 million remained available for stock repurchases pursuant to the board authorization.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, without considering the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our revenue, the timing and extent of spending on business initiatives, purchases of common stock under our share repurchase program, purchases of capital equipment to support our growth, sales and marketing activities, expansion of our business through acquisitions or our investments in complementary offerings, technologies or businesses, market acceptance of our platform and overall economic conditions. If we do not achieve our revenue goals as planned, we believe that we can reduce our operating costs. If we need additional funds and are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may need to significantly curtail our operations in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations, which could adversely affect our business prospects.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Operating activities provided $68.4 million in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily resulting from our net income of $41.6 million and adjusting for net non-cash charges of $29.6 million, including a litigation accrual of $7.8 million, partially offset by net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million. Net cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of a $6.8 million increase in accounts receivable and a $4.7 million increase in prepaid expenses, partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities and a decrease of $1.9 million in commission receivable. Operating activities provided $46.4 million in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily resulting from our net income of $19.9 million and adjusting for net non-cash charges of $19.5 million and net cash provided by changes in our operating assets liabilities of $7.1 million. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of a $30.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities and a $3.7 million decrease in commissions receivable, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $27.1 million.
Changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities were generally due to changes in our business and timing of customer and vendor invoicing and payments.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $3.9 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was attributable to the acquisition of property and equipment, which included the capitalization of certain software development costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we capitalized $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of software development costs.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $20.8 million primarily due to $21.0 million used to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase program from Link Ventures, which is an entity affiliated with funds advised by David Blundin, the Company's chairman of the board of directors and co-founder, and other affiliated entities of Mr. Blundin. Cash proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options, partially offset by tax withholding payments relating to net share settlements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million, consisting of proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options, partially offset by tax withholding payments relating to net share settlements.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our cash flows are dependent on a number of factors in addition to our operational expenditures, including our share repurchase program and our contractual and other obligations. As a result, our liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be analyzed in conjunction with such factors.
In June 2025, we entered into a five-year, $18.5 million purchase commitment, in the ordinary course of business, for advertising with specified annual minimum payment amounts through July 2029. The remaining purchase commitment as of September 30, 2025 was $15.5 million, of which $3.5 million relates to the next twelve months. There have been no other material changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For further disclosure, refer to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have a credit agreement that provides us with credit at a floating rate of interest. As of September 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit and therefore no material exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
We contract with vendors in foreign countries and we have foreign subsidiaries. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies associated with our foreign transactions and our foreign subsidiaries. We believe this exposure to be immaterial. We do not hedge against this exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Information with respect to legal proceedings and this item is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that are common to all businesses, important factors that are specific to our industry and company could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in our subsequent periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than as reflected in the following updated risk factors, there has been no material change from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024:
Fluctuations in our operating results could reduce our cash flow, or trigger restrictions under our credit agreement and cause us to be unable to repurchase shares under our recently announced share repurchase program, either at all or at the times or in the amounts we desire, and as a result, our share repurchase program may not be as beneficial as we would like.
On July 22, 2025, our board of directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program for one year from the board approval date. This program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program will be subsequently retired. If our cash flow decreases as a result of decreased revenue, increased expenses, or other uses of cash, we may not be able to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock at all or at times or in the amounts we desire, including under the terms of our credit facility. As a result, the results of any share repurchase program may not be as beneficial as expected. In August 2025, we repurchased $21.0 million of Class A common shares under the program from an entity affiliated with funds advised by our board chairman and co-founder and other affiliated entities of this individual.
If we were required to draw upon our line of credit, indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On August 1, 2025, we entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility with the Lenders providing for a $60.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit, with the right to request an to increase from time to time of up to $25.0 million. This facility replaces the prior $25.0 million revolving line of credit with Western Alliance Bank.
Borrowing under our revolving line of credit or otherwise, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have significant adverse consequences, including:
requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash resources to the payment of interest and principal, reducing money available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development and other general corporate purposes;
increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions;
subjecting us to restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions or obtain further debt or equity financing (for example, the covenants in the loan and security agreement for our revolving line of credit include limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain fundamental business transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions of other businesses);
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options.
In addition, any indebtedness we incur under our current revolving line of credit will bear interest at a variable rate, which would make us vulnerable to increases in the market rate of interest. If the market rate of interest increases, we would have to pay additional interest, which would reduce cash available for our other business needs. We intend to satisfy any future debt service obligations with our existing cash and cash equivalents. Under our new credit facility, our failure to make payments when due or comply with specified covenants, as well as the occurrence of an event that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, assets or financial condition, is an event of default. If an event of default occurs and the lenders accelerate any indebtedness then outstanding, we may need to seek additional financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. In such event, we may not be able to make accelerated payments, and the lenders could seek to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness, which includes substantially all of our assets. In addition, the
33
Table of Contents
covenants under our debt instruments, the pledge of our assets as collateral and the negative pledge with respect to our intellectual property could limit our ability to obtain additional debt financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
There were no shares of equity securities sold or issued, or options granted, by us during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that were not registered under the Securities Act, and that were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5. Other Information.
(a) Repurchase and Lockup Agreements
On August 10, 2025, the Company entered into a common stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Link Ventures LLLP, an entity affiliated with funds advised by David Blundin, the Company's chairman of the board of directors and co-founder of the Company (“Link Ventures”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase 900,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock directly from Link Ventures (the “Repurchase”) at a price of $23.33 per share, representing an approximate 1.8% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on August 8, 2025. The Repurchase was consummated on August 11, 2025, and the Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $21.0 million. The Repurchase was made under the Company’s share repurchase program and the repurchased shares were immediately retired.
The foregoing description of the Repurchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Common Stock Repurchase Agreement, listed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by David B. Blundin, Recognition Capital, LLC, Link Ventures LLLP, Link Management LLC, Cogo Fund 2020, LLC, Cogo Labs, LLC, and Link Equity Partners, LLC on August 13, 2025.
In connection with the Repurchase Agreement, Mr. Blundin and Link Ventures entered into a 180-day lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Company which restricts the sale or transfer of any of the Company’s shares of capital stock beneficially owned by Mr. Blundin, subject to customary exceptions, including sales pursuant to his previously adopted 10b5-1 trading plan. After 90 days following the closing of the Repurchase, Mr. Blundin may adopt a new 10b5-1 trading plan, so long as such plan does not permit sales during the 180-day lock-up period, and may sell shares in private placements to long-only investors reasonably acceptable to the Company.
The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lock-Up Agreement, listed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.2 to the Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by David B. Blundin, Recognition Capital, LLC, Link Ventures LLLP, Link Management LLC, Cogo Fund 2020, LLC, Cogo Labs, LLC, and Link Equity Partners, LLC on August 13, 2025.
