Summary of risk factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section of this report titled “Risk Factors.” The following is a summary of the principal risks we face, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or prospects:

•We have a history of losses, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to increase or sustain profitability in the future.

•We operate in an emerging and dynamic market, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future results of operations.

• Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict.

• Our growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract new learners, instructors, and organizations and retain existing ones.

• Our platform relies on a limited number of instructors who create a significant portion of the most popular content on our platform, and the loss of these instructor relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• If we fail to maintain and expand our relationships with Udemy Business (“UB” or “Enterprise”) customers, our ability to grow our business and revenue will suffer.

• We operate in a highly competitive market, and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

• Our revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, that may limit our operating flexibility.

• The market for online learning solutions is relatively new and may not grow as we expect, which may harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• Adherence to our values and our focus on long-term sustainability may negatively impact our short- or medium-term financial performance.

• Failure to effectively leverage our strategic partnerships to market and sell our products could impact our ability to increase brand awareness and grow our revenue.

• We operate internationally and we plan to continue expanding our international operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in international operations.

• Changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection, or cybersecurity, including those relating to the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations, could adversely affect our business.

• We may be unable to adequately obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary information, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

• We could face liability, or our reputation might be harmed, as a result of courses posted to our platform.

• Intellectual property litigation, including litigation related to content available on our platform, could result in significant costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

• The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Special note regarding forward-looking statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•our ability to successfully defend litigation brought against us;

•our expectations regarding our income and other tax liabilities;

•our ability to effectively manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and

•our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary information.

Actual events or results may differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements. As such, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, operating results, prospects, strategy, and financial needs. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Organization and description of business

Description of business

Udemy, Inc. (“Udemy” or the “Company”) was incorporated in January 2010 under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Udemy is a global technology company enabling organizations and individuals to develop in-demand skills and capabilities needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world of work. The Company’s AI-powered platform offers consumers the option to purchase either subscription-based plans or a non-exclusive lifetime license to a single course on the Udemy marketplace. The Company also curates its highest-quality content for its enterprise platform, Udemy Business (“UB”), which enables companies around the world to offer on-demand learning across their organizations through various modalities.

Leadership Transition

Effective March 12, 2025, the Company’s board of directors appointed Hugo Sarrazin to succeed Greg Brown as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. As of the same date, the Board appointed Mr. Sarrazin to serve as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of his offer letter, the Board granted Mr. Sarrazin a new hire equity award consisting of 1,062,055 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). One third of the RSUs vest after one year, and the remaining two thirds will vest equally over the following 8 quarters, subject to continual service.

Effective March 12, 2025, Mr. Brown ceased to be the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, although he remained a full-time, non-executive employee during a transition period which ended on June 30, 2025. Thereafter, Mr. Brown is serving as a consultant, pursuant to a post-employment consulting agreement, from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Mr. Brown’s existing equity incentive awards will continue to vest during the term of the consulting period, and he will continue to be deemed a service provider for purposes of the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Company determined that there was a substantive reduction in the scope of services to be provided by Mr. Brown subsequent to March 12, 2025. As a result, the Company recognized $0.9 million in severance and personnel costs and $1.2 million in stock-based compensation within general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that would have otherwise been recognized from April 2025 to December 2025.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation and presentation— The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and all other normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented have been made.

Segment information— On March 12, 2025, Hugo Sarrazin became the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company defines its segments as those operations the CODM regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess performance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had two operating and reportable segments: Enterprise and Consumer. The Company continually monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. For further information on the Company’s segment reporting, see Note 13 – Segment and geographic information.

Use of estimates— The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting periods.

Table of Contents

Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, capitalization of internally developed software and content assets and their associated useful lives, stock-based compensation, determination of the income tax valuation allowance and the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions, estimated service period for consumer single course purchases, recognition pattern of breakage revenue on Udemy credits, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the fair value and associated useful lives of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of marketable securities and privately-held strategic investments, including impairments, and the carrying value of our operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness.

Actual results may ultimately differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Concentration of credit risk— Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. For cash and restricted cash, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent the amounts recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are in excess of federal insurance limits. The Company’s investments that are classified as cash equivalents and marketable securities consist of high-credit-quality instruments and fixed-income securities.

The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance based upon expected credit losses of outstanding receivables. The Company had one customer, Benesse Corporation (“Benesse”), a reseller partner for the Enterprise segment, who accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025. The Company had no customers who accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024. Benesse also accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Summary of significant accounting policies— There have been no significant changes to the policies as disclosed in Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), other than those discussed below.

Revenue recognition— In certain circumstances, consumer customers who purchase a single course may request a refund in the form of Udemy credits instead of a cash refund. Customers with Udemy credit balances may apply these credits toward future purchases.

During the second quarter of 2025, as a result of a change in the entity structure servicing the Udemy credits program, the Company determined it was entitled to recognize breakage for unredeemed Udemy credits. The breakage rate for Udemy credits is calculated based on historical redemption patterns specific to the Company. Breakage revenue is recognized using the proportionate method.

Due to the above, the Company recognized an immaterial amount and $2.6 million of breakage revenue for Udemy credits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to zero during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Of the $2.6 million in breakage revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $2.5 million related to previously satisfied performance obligations.

Net income (loss) per share— Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, because potentially dilutive common shares are anti-dilutive.

Accounts receivable, net— Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts owed to the Company for Enterprise subscriptions. Also included in accounts receivable are amounts due from payment processors or mobile application store partners that settle over a period longer than five business days. Accounts receivable balances are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest-bearing. Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for credit losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

The Company maintains an allowance based upon expected credit losses of outstanding receivables. Management derives its estimate using a variety of factors, including historical collection and loss patterns; the current aging of receivables; geographic and other customer-specific credit risk factors; and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions which inform adjustments to historical loss patterns. The provision for expected credit losses is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accounts receivable deemed to be uncollectible are written off, net of expected or actual recoveries.


	Balance at Beginning of Period		Charged to Expenses		Charges Utilized/Written-off, Net of Recoveries		Balance at End of Period
Allowance for credit losses (in thousands)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025	$	1,096	$	2,835	$	(1,758)	$	2,173
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024	$	1,270	$	1,026	$	(1,312)	$	984

Deferred contract costs— Sales commissions earned by the Company’s sales force on both new and renewal business are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for new contracts and incremental sales to existing customers are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of benefit of four years. This period of benefit was determined by taking into consideration term lengths of Enterprise customer contracts, changes and enhancements in course offerings, and other factors. Beginning January 1, 2025, the Company began paying commissions on the renewing portion of existing contracts. Commissions that are commensurate with renewal contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the average renewal term, which is estimated to be 18 months.

In addition, a portion of the revenue share retained by enterprise reseller partners from sales to UB customers is considered an incremental and recoverable cost of obtaining a contract with a customer. This cost is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the service term of the corresponding contractual subscription term, as commissions paid to resellers on initial and renewal contracts are generally commensurate.

Amounts expected to be recognized within one year of the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates are recorded as deferred contract costs, current, while the remaining portion is recorded as deferred contract costs, non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred contract costs are periodically analyzed for impairment. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized software, net— The Company capitalizes costs directly associated with the development of software for internal use and certain content assets hosted on the Company's platform. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Once the software or content being developed has reached the application development stage, qualifying internal and external costs are capitalized until the software or content asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once the software or content is ready for its intended use, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life, which is generally three years for internal use software and two years for content assets. The Company evaluates the useful lives of these assets and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

Acquisitions— The Company assesses whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. If substantially all of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, then the acquisition is accounted for as an asset acquisition, where the purchase consideration is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the assets acquired. Goodwill is not recorded in an asset acquisition. If the gross assets are not concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, then the Company determines if the set of assets acquired represents a business. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return. Depending on the nature of the acquisition, judgment may be required to determine if the set of assets acquired is a business combination or not.

Debt— Amounts drawn under revolving lines of credit are classified as current or noncurrent liabilities based on several factors, including but not limited to stated maturity dates and whether the Company has the ability and intent to repay the debt within one year from the reporting date. Direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain lines of credit are capitalized as noncurrent other assets on our balance sheets and amortized ratably over the term of the arrangement into interest expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2025

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that were adopted by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The standard will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the new standard on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and expects the adoption to result in disclosure changes only.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Reporting-Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires more detailed information about the types of expenses (including employee compensation and depreciation and amortization) included within income statement expense captions. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the new standard on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets for Private Companies and Certain Not-for-Profit Entities,” which amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

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. ASU 2025-06 provides updated guidance on the capitalization and subsequent measurement of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of internal-use software, including cloud computing arrangements. The amendment replaces former stage-based rules with a principles-based framework. Entities will now capitalize costs associated with internal-use software only when management has authorized and committed funding and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

6. Debt

In May 2025, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, as administrative agent, collateral agent and a lender, and certain other financial institutions, as lenders (the facility established thereby, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in May 2030, provides the Company with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, with a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline borrowings. The Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from new or existing lenders, may increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of $100.0 million or 100% of trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility). The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first priority basis by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest through maturity and, at the Company’s election, at a variable rate based upon either (i) an adjusted term SOFR rate (based on one-, three- or six-month interest periods), plus an applicable margin (“SOFR Borrowings”) or (ii) an alternative base rate, plus an applicable margin (“ABR Borrowings”). The applicable margin for SOFR Borrowings is between 2.0% and 2.5%, and the applicable margin for ABR Borrowings is between 1.0% to 1.5%, in each case depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility bears a commitment fee on the daily undrawn amount of revolving commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum payable quarterly in arrears, depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants imposing limitations on, among others, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, making certain restricted payments (including stock repurchases or the payment of cash dividends), making investments and entering into certain transactions with affiliates. The Company is also subject to financial covenants to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0, in each case calculated in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. Noncompliance with these covenants, or the occurrence of certain other events specified in the Revolving Credit Facility, could result in an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, any outstanding principal, interest, and fees could become immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company incurred $1.4 million worth of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, of which $0.1 million was related to the amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

7. Leases

The Company applies the guidance under Topic 842 for leases of real estate facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal year 2029.

As a result of new leasing activity during fiscal year 2024, the Company was entitled to receive $2.1 million in tenant incentives for leasehold improvements constructed by the Company. The total amount of tenant incentives was received during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company recognized the following amounts related to its operating leases in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows (in thousands):

8. Commitments and contingencies

Noncancellable purchase commitments— The Company has noncancellable contractual commitments with its cloud infrastructure provider, paid advertising and sponsorship vendors, and software subscriptions to support operations in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $30.9 million of future minimum payments under noncancellable purchase commitments with remaining terms in excess of one year, which are expected to be paid through 2028.

Indemnification— The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including certain business partners, investors, contractors, and the Company’s officers, directors, and certain employees. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party’s claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party resulting from actual or threatened third-party claims because of the Company’s activities or, in some cases, non-compliance with certain representations and warranties made by the Company. In general, the Company does not record any liability for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated and are not considered probable. The Company does, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is probable. To date, losses recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with the indemnification provisions have not been material.

Table of Contents

Litigation— From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, investigations, and other proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, and commercial, employment, and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least annually and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. The outcome of such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company. The Company has recorded an immaterial amount related to all outstanding litigation matters in the accrued expenses and other current liabilities caption of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

9. Income taxes

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into consideration in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company records a cumulative adjustment to the provision.

The Company had an effective tax rate of 40.27% and (3.54)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 34.11% and (3.70)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets and the mix of earnings among taxing jurisdictions.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") introduced a framework under Pillar 2 including a 15% global minimum tax rate. Some jurisdictions in which the Company does business have started to enact laws implementing a minimum tax under Pillar Two. The Company is monitoring these developments and currently does not believe the rules have a material impact on its effective tax rate.

In July 2025, the United States enacted tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB Act”). The OBBB Act, among other things, extends certain provisions of 2017 U.S. federal tax legislation relating to federal bonus depreciation and immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures. These provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate their impact as further information becomes available.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision. To date, the Company has not recognized any interest and penalties in its condensed consolidated statements of operations, nor has it accrued for or made payments for interest and penalties.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. Due to NOL carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, the statutes of limitations remain open for tax years from inception of the Company through 2024. There are currently no income tax audits underway by U.S. federal or state tax authorities. The Company’s subsidiary, Udemy India LLP, has received tax assessments from the India Income Tax Department. These assessments have challenged the transfer pricing methodology used by Udemy India LLP for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company believes the proposed adjustments are without merit and will vigorously defend its position; however, it could take a number of years to reach resolution of this matter.

Share repurchase programs— In September 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) with authorization to purchase up to $50 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of the repurchases depend on several factors, including, without limitation, business, economic, and market conditions, corporate, legal, and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, trading volume, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock.

Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for on the settlement date. Upon settlement, repurchased shares are immediately retired and no longer considered issued or outstanding. The total cost to repurchase shares includes any direct costs incurred, including broker commissions and excise taxes, and is recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 4,098,191 shares for an aggregate total of $28.3 million, inclusive of direct costs incurred.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program, which authorized the purchase of up to $150 million of Udemy common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions.

Equity incentive plans— In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan provided for incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”, collectively with ISOs, “stock options”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to be granted to eligible employees, directors, and consultants. The 2010 Plan was terminated in October 2021 in connection with the IPO but continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan. No further equity awards will be granted under the 2010 Plan.

The Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") in September 2021, which became effective on October 28, 2021 (collectively with the 2010 Plan, the “Equity Incentive Plans”) and was approved by the Company’s stockholders. The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of ISOs, NSOs, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, and performance awards to eligible employees, directors, and consultants.

Table of Contents

The Company initially reserved 13,800,000 shares for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The amount available for issuance is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2023, in an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or a lesser amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee. The amount available for issuance shall also include Returning Shares, which are any shares subject to awards granted under the 2010 Plan that, on or after October 29, 2021, expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest. Additionally, any difference in (i) the number of PSUs reserved for future issuance based on maximum achievement of the corporate performance metric and (ii) the number of PSUs issued based on actual attainment are returned to the 2021 Plan.

On January 1, 2025, the shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan automatically increased by 7,374,214 pursuant to the above evergreen provision of the 2021 Plan.

Restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units— The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for RSUs with service-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award, which is typically between two to four years.

Each PSU conveys a right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock on the date it vests, provided that the number of PSUs that will ultimately vest may vary based upon achievement of the corporate performance metrics at the end of the performance period. During the performance period, Management estimates the number of PSUs that are expected to vest based on the anticipated achievement. If the performance-based vesting condition is considered probable of being achieved, the Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period based on the probable outcome of achievement. If the performance goals are not met, or are considered improbable, no compensation cost is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. Total stock-based compensation expense to be recognized may fluctuate during the performance period due to changes in forecasted achievement.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company granted 553,125 PSUs at target to certain executives, with payout achievement ranging from 0% to 150% of target. One third of the eligible PSUs vest upon certification of the corporate performance metrics by the board of directors’ compensation committee in the third quarter of 2026, and the remaining two thirds will vest equally over the following 6 quarters, subject to continual service by the grantee. Achievement has been considered probable since the grant date, and, as of September 30, 2025, the Company estimated a payout rate of 100% of target based on forecasted achievement.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company granted 372,044 PSUs at target to certain executives, with payout achievement ranging from 0% to 150% of target. One third of the eligible PSUs vest upon certification of the corporate performance metrics by the board of directors’ compensation committee in the first quarter of 2026, and the remaining two thirds will vest equally over the following 8 quarters, subject to continual service by the grantee. Achievement has been considered probable since the grant date, and, as of September 30, 2025, the Company estimated a payout rate of 60% of target based on forecasted achievement.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company granted 553,568 PSUs at target to certain executives, with payout achievement ranging from 0% to 150% of target. In February 2025, the board of directors’ compensation committee certified actual achievement against target of 45%. As a result, 218,565 shares were awarded to the grantees, of which one quarter vested in the quarter of certification, while the remaining 75% will vest equally over the following 12 quarters, subject to continual service by the grantee. The difference in the number of shares granted at target and the shares certified by the Board based on actual achievement were canceled and returned to the pool of available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Stock options— The Company may grant stock options at exercise prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. These options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award, which is generally even over four years.

The following is a summary of activity for stock options having only service-based vesting conditions under the Equity Incentive Plans:


	Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In Thousands)

As of September 30, 2025, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation for stock options with service-based vesting conditions, as all such awards were fully vested.

Performance-based stock options— Other than those described below, there have been no other changes to the Company’s performance-based stock options compared to those described in Note 11— Stockholders’ equity, included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report.

As of September 30, 2025, there were 50,000 performance-based stock options outstanding, of which 47,916 were exercisable. As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested performance-based stock options was immaterial.

Employee stock purchase plan— The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective on October 29, 2021. The Company initially reserved 2,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the ESPP. Shares reserved for issuance shall increase on the first day of the fiscal year, beginning in fiscal 2023, in an amount equal to the least of 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, three times the initial number of shares reserved under the ESPP, or a lesser amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee. On January 1, 2025, the shares available for future grants under the ESPP automatically increased by 1,474,842 pursuant to the above evergreen provision of the 2021 ESPP.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 430,926 shares of common stock were issued under the ESPP.

On May 20, 2025, the Company’s ESPP purchase price was reset for the November 2024 offering period. Under the reset provision, if the closing stock price on the purchase date falls below the closing stock price on the offering date of an ongoing offering period, the ongoing offering period terminates immediately following the purchase of ESPP shares on the purchase date. Participants in the terminated offering period are then automatically enrolled in the new offering period. The ESPP reset resulted in incremental compensation cost of $1.7 million for the reset participants. This amount, along with the unrecognized expense remaining from the original grant date fair value, will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the new offering period ending in May 2027.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock purchase rights granted under the new ESPP offering period:


	Nine Months Ended

13. Segment and geographic information

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. The CODM reviews separate financial information for the Company’s two operating and reportable segments, Enterprise and Consumer, in order to allocate resources and evaluate the Company’s financial performance.

The Enterprise segment primarily generates revenue by selling subscription licenses to a variety of enterprise and government customers. The Consumer segment primarily generates revenue by selling access to course content directly to individual learners. The CODM assesses each segment's performance based on segment adjusted gross profit. The CODM uses segment adjusted gross profit during the annual budgeting process and considers budget to actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about the allocation of resources to each segment.

Segment adjusted gross profit, as presented below, is defined as segment revenue less segment adjusted cost of revenue. Segment adjusted cost of revenue includes content costs, customer support services, hosting and platform costs, and payment processing fees that are allocable to each segment. Segment adjusted gross profit excludes amortization of capitalized software, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenue, as the CODM does not include the information in his measurement of the performance of the operating segments. Additionally, the Company does not allocate sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses because the CODM does not include the information in his measurement of the performance of the operating segments. The Udemy platform supports the operations of each segment.

The CODM does not use asset information by segments to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources, and the Company does not track its long-lived assets by segment. The geographic identification of these assets is set forth below.

14. Restructuring charges

2024 Restructuring— On September 11, 2024, the Company committed to a restructuring plan aimed at driving greater operational efficiencies through the reduction of organizational layers, optimization of the Company’s go-to-market organization, and relocating certain roles to lower cost locations (collectively, the “2024 Restructuring”). The 2024 Restructuring impacted approximately 280 of the Company’s global workforce, primarily those located in higher-cost regions, such as the United States, as well as those within the Company’s sales and marketing and research and development functions. Of those impacted, approximately 57% had no future substantive service requirement as of the communication date, while the remaining population provided services as employees during retention periods to assist with transition and training that were substantially completed by March 31, 2025.

As a result, the Company recognized total restructuring charges of $18.3 million. Of this total, zero and $1.6 million were recognized into expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The majority of the charges recognized were personnel-related costs, consisting of one-time severance payments, salary and wages earned over required retention periods, and other benefits.

For impacted employees with no future substantive service requirement, restructuring costs were recognized in-full as of the communication date. For employees rendering services through a retention period, one-time severance costs settled at the end of the retention period were recognized as restructuring costs on a straight-line basis from the communication date to the end of the required retention period. Other direct and incremental costs were recognized as incurred.

Restructuring charges are presented as separate operating expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarize activities related to the restructuring liabilities recorded in accrued compensation and benefits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Overview

Our mission is to transform lives through learning.

We believe traditional skills development and validation methods are fast becoming outdated. Technological advancements, such as generative artificial intelligence (“AI”), have significantly altered the types of skills required of workers across nearly every industry and role, and lifelong training and continuous skills acquisition are becoming the norm. Udemy’s AI-powered skills acceleration platform empowers organizations and individuals with effective skill acquisition and development through various modalities, connecting learners around the world with relevant and up-to-date content created by experts and practitioners.

Udemy’s consumer marketplace has attracted over 80 million learners in over 180 countries who are looking to develop the skills they need to attain in-demand jobs and advance their career. Our expansive ecosystem comprises more than 85,000 instructors who have developed and published over 250,000 courses across 75 languages, spanning critical skill domains including technology, business, leadership, and personal development. Based on ratings and reviews from enrolled learners on our marketplace, we curate our highest-quality content for Udemy’s enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, Udemy Business (“UB”), which enables companies around the world to offer effective on-demand skills development solutions for employees, immersive laboratory-style learning for technology teams, and cohort-based learning focused on leadership development.

Our dual-revenue model offers consumers flexible purchasing options: either subscription-based plans providing unlimited access to a curated selection of premium content for monthly or annual periods, or perpetual single-course purchases granting lifetime access to specific content. These offerings allow us to capitalize on both recurring revenue opportunities and individual transaction value, while simultaneously addressing varying consumer preferences for skill development across global markets and enhancing our ability to monetize effectively.

Advancements in AI are fundamentally transforming our learning platform capabilities beyond traditional linear video instruction, enabling Udemy to deliver more personalized, efficient, and measurable skill development experiences. Our AI investments power sophisticated skills assessment technology that evaluates a learner's existing competencies and automatically generates customized learning paths tailored to individual development needs. This has expanded our product offering to include high-engagement modalities, such as interactive simulations, AI-powered role-play exercises, microlearning content, and continuous knowledge reinforcement tools that verify skill mastery and retention. These capabilities represent substantial differentiation in the learning marketplace, can accelerate time-to-proficiency for learners, and help strengthen our value proposition for both enterprise customers and individual learners.

Recent Developments

In September 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), authorizing the purchase up to $50 million in shares of our common stock. We may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of the repurchases, if any, will depend on several factors, including, without limitation, business, economic, and market conditions, corporate, legal, and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, trading volume, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock. We plan to fund the Repurchase Program with existing cash and cash equivalents.

Key factors impacting our performance

We believe that the growth of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for us, these factors also pose challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and enhance our results of operations.

Ability to attract and engage new learners and Udemy Business customers

To grow our business, we must attract new learners and UB customers efficiently and increase engagement on our platform over time. We acquire a substantial portion of our learners via organic channels and also use paid marketing to further enhance the growth of our learner base. Our organic channels include those outside of our paid marketing efforts, such as a Udemy brand name internet search. Once we bring new learners and UB customers onto our platform, we work to create a best-in-class experience to encourage engagement to deliver measurable career and business outcomes.

Ability to retain and expand our existing learner and customer relationships

Our business and results of operations will depend on our ability to drive greater retention and expansion within our existing customer base and expand adoption of our subscription offerings within our existing learner base.

Our efforts to grow our UB offering are focused primarily on corporate and government customers. Historically, we have expanded from individual department to multi-department to enterprise-wide sales as our value is proven. Building upon this success, we believe a significant opportunity exists for us to acquire new UB customers and expand our existing UB customers’ license count by identifying new use cases and increasing the size of existing deployments. In particular, we believe that our UB Large Customers, which we define as companies with at least 1,000 employees, present the most significant opportunities for us to retain and grow revenue over time, given the wider range of potential use cases and expansion opportunities.

We often enter into customized contractual arrangements with our UB customers in which we offer more favorable pricing terms in exchange for larger total contract values that accompany larger deployments and longer terms. Over the long term, as we drive a greater portion of our revenue through our deployments with UB customers, we expect that our revenue will continue to grow, but the price we charge UB customers per seat may decline, which could reduce margins in the future.

Table of Contents

Our efforts to grow our existing relationships with our consumer learners are focused on increasing their engagement and converting free learners first into purchasers of individual courses, and then into monthly or annual subscribers. New learners to our platform may first engage with our free courses, which serve as a funnel to grow our total learner base and drive purchases of our paid offerings, including UB referrals and consumer subscription offerings.

As of three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, subscription offerings across both our Consumer and Enterprise segments accounted for 74% and 70% of our consolidated revenue, respectively. We expect growth in our subscription offerings to improve the predictability of our revenue period-to-period; however, the impact of new or renewed subscriptions, or a decline in subscriptions, during any one period may not be fully or immediately reflected in our revenue for that period. Moreover, growth in our Consumer subscription offerings may negatively impact our transactional and other revenue as learners shift their spending from individual course purchases to subscription fees. Impacts to our transactional and other revenue during any one period may not be fully offset by subscription growth during the same period.

Ability to source in-demand content from our instructors

We believe that learners and UB customers are attracted to Udemy largely because of the high quality and wide selection of content our instructors offer. Continuing to source in-demand content across various modalities from our instructors will be an important factor in attracting learners and UB customers and growing our revenue over time. When we offer content as part of the UB and consumer subscription offerings, our instructors agree to distribute such content exclusively through our platform, which we believe demonstrates our ability to increase the value of our platform through unique content.

We view the breadth and diverse expertise of our instructors as one of our competitive advantages. Our ability to create attractive content creation incentive opportunities while optimizing the revenue share structure is a key element of supporting the long-term growth of our business. Furthermore, a significant portion of the most popular content on our platform, and as a result a significant portion of our revenue, is attributable to a limited number of our instructors. We experienced minimal turnover among top instructors during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Impact of mix of Enterprise and Consumer segments

Our mix of revenue continues to shift toward our higher-margin Enterprise segment from our Consumer segment. Our Enterprise segment’s higher gross margins are primarily driven by comparably lower content costs, though partially offset by higher customer support costs. The mix of customer acquisition methods in our Consumer segment will substantially impact our financial performance. We presently expect that revenue from our Enterprise segment will continue to grow faster than our Consumer segment, which will be beneficial to our overall margins.

Ability to expand our international footprint

We currently generate a majority of our revenue outside North America. We see a significant opportunity to expand our offerings into regions with large underserved adult and corporate learning populations. We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, in personnel and marketing efforts to support our international growth and expand our international operations as part of our strategy to grow our customer and learner base, particularly among our UB customers. We also plan to continue investing in strategic partnerships that either extend our marketing reach or the capabilities and reach of our global go-to-market sales team. Our success in certain markets, such as Japan, depends on strategic partnerships with key resellers.

Our investment in growth

We are actively investing in our business as we believe that we are only just beginning to penetrate our market opportunity. We are prioritizing resources for high-growth opportunities through expanding and deepening our opportunities with larger enterprise customers, further penetrating our existing customer base, and pursuing strategic partnerships and acquisitions. As we continue to build our sales and marketing efforts, expand our content catalog, develop our immersive learning capabilities, execute on our operational efficiency initiatives, and invest in our technology development, including investments in generative AI, we anticipate our operating expenses will generally decrease as a percentage of revenue over time. Any investments we make to facilitate our future growth, whether organically or through acquisitions or strategic partnerships, will occur in advance of the benefits from such investments.

Pace of adoption of cloud-based skill development solutions

Our ability to grow our learner base and drive market adoption of our platform is affected by the overall demand for cloud-based skill development solutions. The market for cloud-based skill development is less mature than the market for in-person, instructor-led-training, and potential customers may be slow or unwilling to migrate from these legacy approaches. We believe that as technology becomes increasingly critical to business operations, the need for cloud-based skill development solutions, particularly an integrated enterprise-grade platform such as ours, will increase, and our customer base and the breadth and deployment of usage in our customer base will also increase. However, it is difficult to predict customer adoption rates and demand, the future growth rate and size of the market for cloud-based skill development solutions, or the entry of competitive solutions.

Components of results of operations

Revenue

We recognize revenue from contracts with UB customers and paid consumer learners by delivering access to our skill development platform.

Enterprise revenue primarily relates to enterprise license subscription contracts with annual or multi-year subscription terms. Enterprise license subscriptions include Team Plan, Enterprise Plan, Udemy Business Pro, and Leadership Academy. Enterprise subscriptions are typically billed in advance on a quarterly or annual basis. Subscription revenue excludes any taxes to be remitted to governmental authorities. Access to the Udemy platform represents a series of distinct services as we continually provide access to skill development content and fulfill our obligation to the UB customer over the subscription term. Because the series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time, we recognize revenue ratably over the contractual subscription term. Enterprise revenue recognized from professional services, in which Udemy provides customers with effective support and strategic guidance to enable learners and align with business goals, was immaterial for the periods presented.

Consumer revenue consists of individual content purchases made by individual learners, as well as our consumer subscription offerings. Consumer revenue includes the gross transaction value paid by the learner at checkout, net of (a) actual and estimated refunds and (b) passthrough taxes collected from learners and remitted to governmental authorities. After a successful checkout, consumer learners receive a non-exclusive license to the digital course content in addition to stand-ready access to the Udemy platform hosting services needed to access the content. Access to the online content on the Udemy platform represents a series of distinct services as we continually provide access to and fulfill our hosting obligation to the learner. This series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. Revenue from single course purchases is recognized ratably over the estimated service period, which is four months from the date of enrollment, while revenue from consumer subscriptions is recognized ratably over the contractual subscription term.

We are the principal with respect to revenue generated from sales to UB and consumer customers as we control the performance obligation and are the primary obligor with respect to delivering our customers access to the course content.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of content costs, which are the payments to our instructors. Content costs are driven by the means by which we acquired the learner consuming the content. For courses offered on Udemy’s consumer marketplace, instructors earn a specific percentage of the net sale amount when a learner purchases the instructor’s course. For courses offered through Udemy Business or a consumer subscription offering, instructors earn a pro-rata share of a monthly instructor payments pool for that subscription offering. Each month, Udemy calculates the revenue for each subscription offering, with a fixed percentage allocated as an instructor payments pool. Instructors whose content is included in the collection earn a prorated portion of this pool based on the number of minutes of consumption their courses achieved that month.

Table of Contents

Content costs are recorded as cost of revenue in the period earned by our instructors. Content costs as a percentage of revenue for our UB and consumer subscription offerings are lower relative to individual course content purchases in our consumer offering. As a result, shifts in the mix between offerings and changes to the revenue share structure for UB and consumer subscriptions are expected to be a significant driver of future changes in gross margin. We are reducing the instructor revenue share for our subscription offerings, which are derived as a percentage of total UB and consumer subscription revenue, to 15% by 2026. The first rate adjustment to 20% was effective on January 1, 2024, and the second rate adjustment to 17.5% was effective on January 1, 2025.

For consumer single course purchases, content costs are incurred at the time of purchase. As consumer course content revenue is recognized ratably over an estimated service period of four months, consumer gross margins are lower in the period of purchase, and higher in the remaining periods of the estimated service period over which revenue is recognized. For our UB and consumer subscription offerings, content costs are incurred based on monthly subscription fees, and margins are more stable from period to period.

Cost of revenue also includes payment and mobile processing fees, costs associated with hosting digital content, employee related expenses for our customer support organization, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, facilities and other expenses, depreciation of network equipment, amortization of capitalized software, amortization of vendor relationship and developed technology intangible assets acquired through business combinations, and the portion of fees paid to certain reseller partners attributable to their providing customer support services to UB customers. We expect cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue to generally decrease, as we increase the percentage of revenue derived from our subscription offerings and decrease the instructor revenue share percentage.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative expenses, and restructuring charges. Personnel costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and commissions. Our operating expenses also include allocated costs of facilities, information technology, depreciation, and amortization. We are focused on investing in initiatives which will drive operational efficiency while focusing resources on high-growth opportunities, and as a result we anticipate our operating expenses will generally decrease as a percentage of revenue over time.

Sales and marketing

Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, marketing costs, sponsorship and brand costs, costs related to customer and instructor acquisition, amortization of deferred contract costs, and amortization of trade name and customer relationship intangible assets acquired through business combinations. Sales and marketing expenses also consist of costs incurred for hosting and customer support services related to providing our platform to free learners. While sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue may vary from period to period, in part due to the extent and timing of sales and marketing initiatives, we generally expect this percentage to decrease over the long term given our focus on sales efficiency and our expansion strategy.

Research and development

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, costs related to the ongoing management, maintenance, and expansion of features and services offered on our platform, and amortization of assembled workforce intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions. Research and development costs also include contracted services, supplies, and other miscellaneous expenses. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important to our future growth and to maintain and attract learners and UB customers to our platform. While research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue may vary from period to period, in part due to the timing of investments in our platform, we generally expect this percentage to decrease over the long term given our focus on operational efficiency and high-growth opportunities.

General and administrative

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, costs related to our executive, legal, finance, and human resources departments, as well as charges for indirect tax reserves, allowance for credit losses, professional fees, and other corporate expenses.

Table of Contents

We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue to vary from period to period but generally decrease over the long term as we benefit from greater operational scale and efficiency.

Restructuring charges

Our restructuring charges consist primarily of personnel expenses, such as employee severance, benefits costs, and stock-based compensation, as well as other direct and incremental costs incurred as a result of non-recurring restructuring activities that we committed to during the third quarter of 2024.

Interest income

Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts related to our available-for-sale marketable securities, net of associated fees.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to our revolving credit facility and certain indirect tax reserves.

Other income (expense), net

Other expense, net consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, as well as changes in the valuation of strategic investments, if any.

Income tax provision

Our income tax provision consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as the realization of the full amount of these deferred tax assets is uncertain, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development. The valuation allowance is driven by our historical overall loss position, and we will not be able to utilize any of these favorable tax attributes until we are consistently in a taxable income position. When we begin to consistently operate in a taxable income position, we may release portions of the valuation allowance to recognize and use those tax attributes. Until then, we expect to maintain this full valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $195.7 million, compared to $195.4 million for the same period in the prior year, which represents an increase of $0.3 million, or flat year over year. The increase in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from our Enterprise segment while being partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our Consumer segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Enterprise segment revenue was $132.8 million, or 68% of total revenue, compared to $126.1 million, or 65% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The $6.7 million, or 5%, increase in Enterprise segment revenue was primarily driven by increases in UB subscription revenues of $6.8 million. The increase in UB subscription revenue was due to increases in both the number of UB customers and average deal sizes for new customers, and was partially offset by lower net retention rates. Although churn outpaced expansion across all existing UB customers, as reflected by our UB NDRR of 93% as of September 30, 2025, net retention among our UB Large Customers was higher, as reflected by our UB Large Customer NDRR of 97% as of September 30, 2025.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Consumer segment revenue was $62.9 million, or 32% of total revenue, compared to $69.3 million or 35% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The $6.4 million, or 9%, decrease in Consumer segment revenue was primarily due to a $9.9 million decrease in revenue recognized from transactional and other purchases, offset by an increase in consumer subscription revenue of $3.5 million.

The decrease in transactional and other revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in monthly average buyers purchasing single courses, as well as the amount of revenue recognized in the current period that was deferred from course purchases in the prior period.

The increase in consumer subscription revenue is primarily attributable to our growth in paid Consumer subscribers.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $595.9 million, compared to $586.6 million for the same period in the prior year, which represents an increase of $9.2 million, or 2%. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from our Enterprise segment while being partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our Consumer segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Enterprise segment revenue was $389.8 million, or 65% of total revenue, compared to $364.3 million, or 62% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The $25.5 million, or 7%, increase in Enterprise segment revenue was primarily driven by increases in UB subscription revenues of $25.3 million, The increase in UB subscription revenue was due to increases in both the number of UB customers and average deal sizes for new customers, and was partially offset by lower net retention rates. Although churn outpaced expansion across all existing UB customers, as reflected by our UB NDRR of 93% as of September 30, 2025, net retention among our UB Large Customers was higher, as reflected by our UB Large Customer NDRR of 97% as of September 30, 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Consumer segment revenue was $206.0 million, or 35% of total revenue, compared to $222.3 million, or 38% of total revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The $16.3 million, or 7%, decrease in Consumer segment revenue was primarily due to a decrease in revenue recognized from transactional and other purchases of $25.2 million, offset by an increase in consumer subscription revenue of $8.9 million.

The decrease in transactional and other revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in monthly average buyers purchasing single courses, the amount of revenue recognized in the current period that was deferred from course purchases in the prior period, and foreign currency exchange rates. The overall decrease in transactional and other revenue also includes a $2.6 million increase in breakage revenue from unredeemed Udemy credits, of which $2.5 million related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods, following the Company’s determination in the second quarter of 2025 that such breakage could be recognized.

The increase in consumer subscription revenue is primarily attributable to our growth in paid Consumer subscribers.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $66.8 million, compared to $72.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $5.6 million, or 8%, across the comparative periods was driven by a $6.2 million decrease in content costs and a $0.4 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets, which were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in customer support costs.

Content costs for the Enterprise and Consumer segments were $21.5 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $23.0 million and $24.5 million for the same period in the prior year, respectively. Segment content costs as a percentage of segment revenue for the Enterprise and Consumer segments were 16% and 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2025,

Table of Contents

respectively, compared to 18% and 35% for the same period in the prior year, respectively. The reduction in content costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the reduction in instructor revenue share from 20% to 17.5% for all subscription offerings, which became effective on January 1, 2025, as well as the continued mix shift from single course purchases to subscription purchases in our Consumer segment.

In our Enterprise segment, customer support costs increased $0.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Other segment items were generally consistent with those costs incurred the same period in the prior year.

In our Consumer segment, customer support costs and other segment items were generally consistent with those costs incurred the same period in the prior year.

Gross margin was 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 63% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the reduction in instructor revenue share for all subscription offerings and the continued shift in mix of revenue toward our Enterprise segment and subscription offerings.

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $205.5 million, compared to $221.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease of $16.4 million, or 7%, across the comparative periods was driven by a $15.4 million decrease in content costs and a $1.9 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets, which were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in amortization of capitalized software.

Content costs for the Enterprise and Consumer segments were $62.3 million and $65.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $66.2 million and $77.3 million for the same period in the prior year, respectively. Segment content costs as a percentage of segment revenue for the Enterprise and Consumer segments were 16% and 32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 18% and 35% for the same period in the prior year, respectively. The reduction in content costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the reduction in instructor revenue share from 20% to 17.5% for all subscription offerings, which became effective on January 1, 2025, as well as the continued mix shift from single course purchases to subscription purchases in our Consumer segment.

In our Enterprise segment, customer support costs and other segment items were generally consistent with those costs incurred the same period in the prior year. In our Consumer segment, other segment items, comprised of payment processing fees and hosting costs, decreased by $0.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Gross margin was 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 62% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the reduction in instructor revenue share for all subscription offerings, the continued shift in mix of revenue toward our Enterprise segment and subscription offerings, and the impact of breakage revenue as discussed above.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $81.5 million, compared to $86.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The $4.5 million decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease in direct marketing costs, a $1.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, and a $1.4 million decrease in personnel-related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in amortization of deferred contract costs.

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $243.8 million, compared to $260.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $16.5 million decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to a $10.0 million decrease in direct marketing costs, a $6.8 million decrease in personnel-related expenses, and a $5.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in amortization of deferred contract costs.

Research and development. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $25.6 million, compared to $33.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The $7.4 million decrease was primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in personnel-related expenses and a $2.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $76.9 million, compared to $96.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The $19.7 million decrease was primarily due to a $12.9 million decrease in personnel-related expenses and a $6.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $21.9 million, compared to $22.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $0.3 million decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in charges for indirect tax reserves, and a $0.3 million increase in professional services in support of ongoing operations.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $68.8 million, compared to $74.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $5.5 million decrease was primarily due to $4.5 million of professional services costs incurred in 2024 that were not part of ongoing operations and a $4.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. These costs were partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in current period charges to the credit losses reserve and a $1.4 million increase in professional services in support of ongoing operations.

Restructuring charges. As a result of the strategic restructuring activities announced in September 2024, we recognized zero and $1.6 million of restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. In comparison, we recognized $11.3 million in restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The restructuring charges primarily consisted of one-time severance payments, salary and wages earned over required retention periods, and other benefits.

Certain key business metrics and non-GAAP financial metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the key business metrics and non-GAAP financial metrics identified below to help us assess the health of our community, evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Udemy Business customers

We count the total number of UB customers at the end of each period. To do so, we generally count unique customers using the concept of a domestic ultimate parent, defined as the highest business in the family tree that is in the same country as the contracted entity. In some cases, we deviate from this methodology, defining the contracted entity as a unique customer despite the existence of a domestic ultimate parent. This often occurs where the domestic ultimate parent is a financial owner, government entity, conglomerate, or acquisition target where we have contracted directly with the subsidiary. We define a UB customer as a customer who purchases Udemy via our direct sales force, reseller partnerships or through our self-service platform. We believe that the number of UB customers and our ability to increase this number is an important indicator of the growth of our UB and future revenue trends. The increase in UB customers is primarily attributable to the continued pursuit of our global expansion strategy.

Udemy Business Annual Recurring Revenue

We disclose our UB Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as a measure of our Enterprise segment revenue growth. ARR represents the annualized value of our UB customer contracts on the last day of a given period. Only revenue from closed UB contracts with active seats as of the last day of the period are included. The increase in UB ARR was primarily driven by an increase in the number of UB customers, as well as increased average deal size in new customers, and was partially offset by churn outpacing expansion across all existing customers, although net retention among our UB Large Customers was higher.

Udemy Business Net Dollar Retention Rate and Udemy Business Large Customer Net Dollar Retention Rate

We disclose UB Net Dollar Retention Rate, or UB NDRR, as a measure of revenue growth for all UB customers within our Enterprise segment, including UB Large Customers, which we define as companies with at least 1,000 employees. We believe UB NDRR is an important metric that provides insight into the long-term value of our UB subscription agreements and our ability to retain and grow revenue from our UB customers. We believe UB Large Customer NDRR reflects our ability to retain and expand our footprint with larger organizations, who present greater opportunities for us to retain and grow revenue given the wider range of potential use cases and expansion opportunities.

We calculate UB NDRR as the total ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by the total ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of all UB customers active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. We calculate UB Large Customer NDRR as the total UB Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by the total Large Customer ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of UB customers with at least 1,000 employees active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. Total ARR and Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period are calculated as ARR and Large Customer ARR, respectively, at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period that are then adjusted for upsells, downsells, and churns for the same cohort of customers during that period. Large Customer ARR represents the annualized value of contracts for UB customers with active seats and having at least 1,000 employees on the last day of a given period.

Our UB NDRR and UB Large Customer NDRR are expected to fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including the growth of our revenue base, the penetration within our learner base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our UB customers. The decreases in our NDRR metrics were driven by lower rates of upsells and expansions and lower net retention rates across all existing customers, although net retention among our UB Large Customers was higher.

Paid Consumer subscribers

We count the total number of paid Consumer subscribers at the end of each period. Paid Consumer subscribers are defined as users who had an active paid subscription to any Consumer subscription offering at the end of the last day of a given period. The count of paid subscribers does not include users who are currently on a free trial.

We believe that the number of paid Consumer subscribers and our ability to increase this metric is an important indicator of the growth of our Consumer business and future revenue and profitability trends. The increase in paid Consumer subscribers is primarily attributable to our increased focus on global subscription expansion.

Monthly average buyers

A buyer is a consumer who purchases a course or subscription through our Consumer offering. We first determine the number of monthly buyers by taking the total buyers of single courses during a given month plus the total active, paid Consumer subscribers at any point in that month, adjusting for duplicate buyers that may be present in both totals. We then calculate monthly average buyers by taking an average of the monthly buyer totals over a particular period, such as a fiscal year. Our monthly average buyer count is not intended as a measure of active engagement, as not all buyers are active at any given time or over any given period. We believe that the number of monthly average buyers in a given period is an important indicator of the growth of our business and potential future revenue trends. Our monthly average buyers count is expected to fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including the growth of our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our Consumer customers.

Segment revenue and segment adjusted gross profit

Our revenue is generated from our UB and Consumer offerings, which respectively correspond to our two operating and reportable segments, Enterprise and Consumer. Segment revenue represents the revenue recognized from each of these offerings and is a key measure of the performance of our platform, and in turn drives our financial performance.

We also monitor segment adjusted gross profit as a key metric to help evaluate the financial performance of our individual segments and our business as a whole. Segment adjusted gross profit is defined as segment revenue less segment adjusted cost of revenue. Segment adjusted cost of revenue includes content costs, customer support services, hosting and platform costs, and payment processing fees that are allocable to each segment. Segment adjusted gross profit excludes amortization of capitalized software, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenue as our chief operating decision maker does not include the information in his measurement of the performance of the operating segments. Content costs, which are payments made to our instructors, are the largest individual component of segment adjusted cost of revenue. We expect to increase the percentage of our revenue derived from our Enterprise segment over time, which we expect will improve our gross margins.

Consumer segment adjusted gross margin	57		%	54		%	57		%	55		%

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in Enterprise segment adjusted gross margin was primarily due to the reduction in instructor revenue share from 20% to 17.5% for all subscription offerings, which was effective on January 1, 2025. The mix of other segment items allocable to the Enterprise segment as a percentage of Enterprise revenue were generally consistent when compared to the same period in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in Consumer segment adjusted gross margin was primarily due to the relative increase in consumer subscriptions as a percentage of total Consumer revenue, the reduction in instructor revenue share from 20% to 17.5% for consumer subscriptions, and the impact of breakage revenue as discussed above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in Enterprise segment adjusted gross margin was primarily due to the reduction in instructor revenue share from 20% to 17.5% for all subscription offerings, which was effective on January 1, 2025. The mix of other segment items allocable to the Enterprise segment as a percentage of Enterprise revenue were generally consistent when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-GAAP financial metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP financial metrics identified below to help us evaluate our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin

As adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude:

•interest income;

•interest expense;

•provision for income taxes;

•depreciation and amortization;

•stock-based compensation expense;

•other expense, net; and

•restructuring charges.

We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the same period.

Net income (loss) increased by $26.9 million and $81.6 million during three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in net income (loss) was driven by the reduction in the instructor revenue share for all subscription offerings, the continued shift in mix of revenue toward our Enterprise segment and subscription offerings, decreases in direct marketing and stock-based compensation costs, and lower personnel costs as a result of our operational efficiency initiatives. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $10.3 million of impairment charges on our strategic investments and $4.5 million of professional services costs that were not part of ongoing operations, whereas there was no such activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12.7 million and by $50.3 million during three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by the reduction in the instructor revenue share for all subscription offerings, the continued shift in mix of revenue toward our Enterprise segment and subscription offerings, decreases in direct marketing costs, lower personnel costs as a result of our operational efficiency initiatives, and the professional services costs that were not part of ongoing operations as discussed above.

Free cash flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software costs, as we consider these capital expenditures necessary to support our ongoing operations.

We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides our management, board of directors, and investors with information about our ability to generate or use cash to enhance the strength of our balance sheet, further invest in our business, and pursue potential strategic initiatives.

Table of Contents

We expect our free cash flow to generally increase in the near term due to our operational efficiency initiatives. We expect our purchases of property and equipment to vary based on the timing of leasing activities and renovations to our office real estate portfolio. We anticipate that our capitalized software costs may fluctuate in future periods based on the nature and timing of investments in our platform and new offerings. The timing of our operating expenses may cause free cash flow to vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	15,731	$	(6,100)	$	72,144	$	43,461

Free cash flow	$	12,086	$	(10,198)	$	58,187	$	32,098

Our free cash flow increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in our cash provided by operating activities due to the increase in net income. Our free cash flow increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in our cash provided by operating activities due to the increase in net income, offset by the timing of certain working capital assets and liabilities, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities activities, due to restructuring costs accrued for in prior periods, and deferred revenue.

Liquidity and capital resources

As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $237.0 million, marketable securities of $135.3 million, and $200.0 million of available capacity under a revolving credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents includes money market funds, certain U.S. government securities purchased with original maturities of less than 90 days, time and on demand deposits, and amounts in transit from certain payment processors for credit and debit card transactions. Restricted cash totaled $1.1 million and consists of cash deposited with financial institutions held as collateral for our obligations under various facility leases. Marketable securities are comprised of investments in U.S. government securities with an original maturity greater than 90 days at the date of purchase. Our non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents have been earmarked for indefinite investment in our operations outside the U.S., and consequently no U.S. current or deferred taxes have been accrued on such amounts. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

In May 2025, we entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and certain other financial institutions. The revolving credit facility established by this agreement provides us with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, all of which were undrawn as of September 30, 2025. The revolving credit facility matures in May 2030. Refer to Note 6 – Debt for additional details.

As of September 30, 2025, there have been no material changes to our commitments and contractual obligations, in comparison to those set forth in our Annual Report, that occurred outside the ordinary course of business. Refer to Note 7 – Leases and Note 8 – Commitments and contingencies in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for our outstanding commitments and contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025.

As discussed above, we committed to a restructuring plan in September 2024. As a result, we have incurred cash-based restructuring charges, primarily consisting of one-time severance payments, salary and wages earned over required retention periods, and other benefits. The restructuring plan was substantially completed as of March 31, 2025, though we incurred immaterial restructuring charges and made cash payments related to the plan through the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, all outstanding liabilities incurred as a result of the plan had been settled.

Over the long term, we plan to continue investing in the growth and development of our platform. If our available funds are insufficient to fund these future activities or execute on our business strategies, we may raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked or debt financing, to the extent such funding sources are available. Alternatively, we may be required to reduce expenses to manage liquidity; however, any such reductions could adversely impact our business and competitive position.

Sources of funds

We have historically financed our operations primarily through revenue, as well as proceeds from issuances of our capital stock. As noted above, in May 2025, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Citibank and certain other financial institutions. From time to time, we may explore additional financing sources, which could include equity, equity-linked or debt financing. In addition, in connection with any future acquisitions or strategic investments, we may pursue additional funding, which could include debt, equity or equity-linked financings, or a combination of these methods. We can provide no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.

Table of Contents

Use of funds

Our principal uses of cash are funding our operations, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We have generated significant net losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $798.9 million as of September 30, 2025. We have historically incurred operating losses and generated negative cash flows from operations as we have invested in growing our business. Our operating cash requirements may increase in the future as we continue to invest in the development of our platform and the growth of our business. We cannot be certain our revenue will grow sufficiently to offset our operating expense increases. As a result, we may need to raise additional funds to support our operations, and such funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities mainly consists of our net income (loss), adjusted for certain non-cash items, including stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred sales commissions, as well as the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities during each period.

Our main source of operating cash is payments received from our customers. Our primary use of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenses, instructor payments, advertising and marketing expenses, indirect taxes, and third-party cloud infrastructure expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $72.1 million, primarily consisting of our net income of $6.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $125.3 million and net cash outflows of $59.3 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $49.5 million increase in deferred contract costs, a $9.3 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $6.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $5.3 million decrease in content costs payable. These changes were partially offset by a $8.8 million decrease in accounts receivable.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $43.5 million, primarily consisting of our net loss of $75.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $143.3 million and net cash outflows of $24.4 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $19.9 million increase in deferred revenue, a $6.0 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and a $10.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, as cash collections from customers outpaced new billings. These changes were offset by a $46.6 million increase in deferred contract costs, due to continued expansion in our Enterprise business, a $5.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $4.0 million decrease in content costs payable, and $4.5 million in outflows due to changes in our operating lease liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the increase in net income, which was partially offset by the timing of changes in certain operating assets and liabilities, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities activities, which includes restructuring costs accrued for in prior periods, and deferred revenue.

Investing activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $15.8 million, primarily as a result of $169.1 million of proceeds received from the maturity of marketable securities, which was partially offset by $137.8 million in purchases of marketable securities, $8.7 million related to capitalized software costs, $5.3 million in purchases of property and equipment, and $1.5 million for payments related to asset acquisitions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $14.2 million, primarily as a result of $265.4 million of proceeds received from the maturity of marketable securities, which were partially offset by $239.8 million in purchases of marketable securities and $10.2 million related to capitalized software costs.

Financing activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $42.9 million, primarily driven by $29.2 million in repurchases of common stock, $14.8 million in taxes paid related to net share settlement of employee equity awards, and payments of debt issuance costs of $1.4 million. This was partially offset by $2.6 million of proceeds from issuances of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $161.5 million, driven by $141.6 million in repurchases of common stock and $25.4 million in taxes paid related to net share settlement of employee equity awards. This was partially offset by $4.5 million of proceeds from issuances of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity

As of September 30, 2025 we had $235.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, which includes money market funds, certain U.S. government securities purchased with original maturities of less than 90 days, time and on demand deposits, and amounts in transit from certain payment processors for credit and debit card transactions. We also held $135.3 million of marketable securities, consisting of investments in various U.S. government securities. We had $1.1 million of restricted cash, primarily consisting of cash deposited with financial institutions held as collateral for our obligations under various facility leases.

Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Given the above facts and circumstances, hypothetical changes in interest rates of 100 basis points would not result in a material increase or decrease of either the market value of our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2025, or interest income earned from our portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based on Term SOFR or alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. At September 30, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We did not hold any debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We determine the functional currency for each of our foreign subsidiaries by reviewing their operations and currencies used in their primary economic environments. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, or translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Our marketable securities portfolio is also held in U.S. dollar investments, and to date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments, although we may choose to do so in the future. As such, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would not have had a material impact on income or expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

PART II.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe we are not currently party to any legal proceedings which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all of the other information contained in this Form 10-Q, including the sections titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Any of the following risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, which would cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. Our risk factors are not guarantees that no such conditions exist as of the date of this report and should not be interpreted as an affirmative statement that such risks or conditions have not materialized, in whole or in part.

Risks related to our business and operations

We have a history of losses, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to increase or sustain profitability in the future.

We reported net income (loss) of $6.1 million and $(75.4) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and, as of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $798.9 million. We may incur losses in the near-term as we continue to make targeted investments towards growing our business and operating as a public company. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, substantial financial and other resources in developing our platform, including expanding our platform offerings, developing or acquiring new platform features and services, expanding into new markets and geographies, and increasing our sales and marketing efforts. These expenditures may make achieving and maintaining profitability more difficult, and these efforts may also be more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business.

We have undertaken, and are continuing to undertake, measures intended to accelerate our operational efficiency and position our company for long-term profitability. However, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be successful. We may experience delays or unanticipated costs in implementing these measures, which could prevent the timely or full realization of the anticipated benefits. Even if we successfully execute on our operational efficiency measures, these measures may not be sufficient to ensure our investments and other expenses keep pace with our revenue.

As a result, we can provide no assurance as to whether we can increase or sustain profitability in the future. If we are not able to do so, the value of our company and our common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

We operate in an emerging and dynamic market, which makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects and future results of operations.

The market for online learning solutions is relatively new and continues to evolve rapidly. These factors may make it difficult to accurately assess our future prospects and the risks, challenges, and uncertainties that we may encounter. These uncertainties include:

•maintaining and increasing a base of learners, instructors, and UB customers using our platform;

•successfully competing with existing and future participants in the market for online learning solutions;

•successfully expanding our business in existing markets and entering new markets and geographies;

•anticipating and responding to market and broader economic conditions;

•avoiding interruptions or disruptions in the service of our platform;

•accurately forecasting our revenue and operating expenses on a quarterly and annual basis;

•maintaining and enhancing the value of our reputation and brand;

•attracting, hiring, and retaining qualified personnel to manage our operations and further develop our platform;

•effectively managing growth in our operations, including personnel; and

Table of Contents

•successfully implementing and executing our business strategies.

Additionally, because we operate in a rapidly evolving market, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we operated in a more established and predictable market. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks, challenges, and uncertainties frequently experienced by companies operating in emerging markets. If our assumptions regarding any of these risks, challenges, or uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address them successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a wide range of factors, which makes our future results difficult to predict.

Our results of operations have historically varied from period to period, and we expect that our results of operations will continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. Factors that may contribute to the variability of our quarterly and annual results include, but are not limited to:

•our ability to attract and retain learners, instructors, and enterprises that use our platform in a cost-effective manner;

•our ability to accurately forecast revenue and operating expenses;

•the effects of increased competition on our business;

•the impact of worldwide economic conditions, including the resulting effect on consumer and business spending on online learning solutions;

•our ability to successfully expand in existing markets and successfully enter new markets and manage the risks associated with doing so;

•our ability to successfully leverage our resellers and other strategic relationships to market and sell our products;

•changes in learner or customer behavior with respect to online learning solutions;

•increases in marketing, sales, and other operating expenses that we may incur to grow and acquire new learners, instructors, and customers;

•the revenue mix between our consumer and UB offerings;

•our ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth and effectively manage that growth;

•the effects of changes in search engine placement and prominence;

•our ability to keep pace with technology changes in our industry;

•the success of our sales and marketing efforts;

•our ability to protect, maintain, and enforce our intellectual property rights;

•costs associated with defending claims, including intellectual property infringement claims, and related judgments or settlements;

•changes in governmental or other regulations affecting our business;

•actual or anticipated changes in international trade policies, including those resulting from tariffs, trade barriers and other trade regulations, as well as the actual or anticipated effect of such policies on us and our customers;

•interruptions in service and any related impact on our business, reputation, or brand;

•the attraction and engagement of qualified employees and key personnel;

•our ability to choose and effectively manage third-party service providers;

Table of Contents

•the effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events, including wars and other armed conflicts, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East;

•the impact of actual or anticipated public health emergencies, such as an outbreak of an epidemic or pandemic;

•potential volatility in our gross margins, including due to revenue mix shifts between our Enterprise and Consumer segments, changes in our pricing policies, increased use of subscriptions in our Consumer segment, and timing differences between recognition of revenue and related content costs for courses;

•the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;

•the impact of payment processor costs and procedures; and

•changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

The unpredictability of our results of operations could cause our results to vary from period to period or to fall below our public guidance or the expectations of analysts and investors for a given period, which will adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract new learners, instructors, and organizations and retain existing ones.

Our success depends, in part, on growing the number of learners and instructors engaging with our platform. We believe the increase in the number of instructors increases the quality and quantity of the content available on our platform, in turn making our platform more appealing and engaging to learners in both our Enterprise and Consumer segments. This increase in learners then attracts more instructors to our platform. This dynamic marketplace model takes time to build and may grow at a slower pace than we expect. In addition, although the number of individual and UB learners and instructors engaging with our platform has grown in recent years, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. For example, there is significant uncertainty regarding the adoption and growth of remote, online and asynchronous learning and training, as well as skills-based learning, compared to the traditional models of education and training, which may adversely affect demand for our platform. We have also experienced elongated sales cycles for our UB offerings as a result of what we believe to be budget tightening as a result of economic uncertainty. Additionally, our average sales cycle may lengthen as we focus more on our UB Large Customers, which we define as companies with at least 1,000 employees, and which tend to have longer procurement processes than smaller customers. If we fail to grow or maintain the number of learners and instructors engaging with our platform, the value of our platform will diminish and our revenue will decline.

We believe that many of our new learners find us by word of mouth and other non-paid referrals from existing learners. If existing learners do not find our platform or its content appealing and engaging, whether because of a negative experience with, declining interest in or relevancy of the content, they may stop referring others to us. In turn, if instructors perceive that our platform lacks an adequate learner audience, instructors may be less willing to provide content for our platform, and the experience of learners could be further negatively impacted. The willingness or ability of instructors to provide content for our platform could also be negatively impacted by other factors, such as:

•complaints or negative publicity about us or our platform, even if factually incorrect or based on isolated incidents;

•changes to our terms and policies that our instructors find, or even perceive, to be unpopular or that are not clearly articulated to them; or

•our failure or perceived failure to enforce our policies fairly and transparently.

In addition, the costs associated with retaining learners and instructors are substantially lower than those associated with acquiring new learners and instructors. As a result, if we are unable to retain existing learners and instructors, even if such losses are offset by an increase in revenue resulting from new learners and instructors, it could harm our growth prospects and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Our platform relies on a limited number of instructors who create a significant portion of the most popular content on our platform, and the loss of these instructor relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We strive to build meaningful connections with instructors, ranging from those that are well known and have created extensively to those that have just begun the process of creating courses. As of September 30, 2025, we had relationships with more than 85,000 instructors. Although we view the breadth and diverse expertise of our instructor base and the content they create as one of our competitive advantages, a significant portion of the most popular content on our platform—and consequently a significant portion of our revenue—is attributable to a limited number of our instructors. Instructors may unpublish content or choose to leave the Udemy platform altogether, subject to certain contractual limitations, for a variety of reasons. For example, in November 2023 we announced changes to our instructor revenue share model, the first and second rate adjustments of which became effective at the beginning of 2024 and 2025, respectively; these changes, together with any future changes we may announce in the future, could result in instructor attrition. Although we do not believe the loss of any one instructor would materially impact our business, significant attrition by multiple instructors, as well as any failure to attract additional instructors or source replacement content as needed, could adversely affect our ability to provide high-quality, engaging, and relevant content for one or more subject matters, slow the pace at which we provide such content, and reduce the attractiveness of our platform to learners and customers, any of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain and expand our relationships with UB customers, our ability to grow our business and revenue will suffer.

Revenue from our Enterprise segment represented 68% and 65% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 65% and 62% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We believe that our future success depends, in part, on our ability to grow this offering, both by retaining and expanding our relationship with existing customers and attracting new customers. Many customers initially use our platform within specific groups or departments within their organizations, or for specific use cases. Our ability to grow our UB business depends, in part, on our ability to persuade these customers to expand their use of our platform to address additional use cases. Further, the continued growth of our business requires that our customers renew their subscriptions with us and that we expand our relationships with our existing customers. Customers may decide not to renew their subscriptions with a similar contract period, at the same prices and terms, with the same or a greater number of users, or at all. It is difficult to accurately predict whether we will have future success in retaining customers or expanding our relationships with them. We have experienced significant growth in the number of customers subscribing to our UB offerings, but we do not know whether we will continue to achieve similar growth, or achieve any growth at all, in the future. Our ability to retain UB customers and expand our deployments with them may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction with our platform, the quality and timeliness of our customer success and customer support services, our prices, the prices and features of competing solutions, customers’ spending levels, sufficient adoption of our platform by our customers’ constituents, and customers’ satisfaction with new feature releases, any of which could cause our revenue to decline or grow less quickly than anticipated, which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive market, and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

We operate in a highly competitive environment, as the market for online learning is relatively new, fragmented, and rapidly evolving, with limited barriers to entry. We compete for learners, enterprise customers, and instructors:

•Learners: We compete for learners based on our course catalog, instructors, and learning tools (including AI-powered features).

•UB customers: We compete for customers based on our up-to-date content, the breadth and depth of that content across the full range of core business functions, and advanced product features and integrations that optimize self-paced learning and enable organizations to effectively drive programmatic learning.

•Instructors: We compete for instructors based on our ability to promote monetization opportunities.

Table of Contents

Our competition includes corporate training offerings, direct-to-consumer training offerings, specialized content training offerings, and free online resources used to gather and share knowledge and skills. Increasingly, we also face competition from large language models (“LLMs”) and other generative AI offerings that can provide on-demand, conversational responses to user queries, generate customized learning content, or aggregate and summarize educational materials. These LLM-based solutions, which may be offered by both established technology companies and new entrants, are emerging as an alternative to other online learning modalities.

We expect both existing competitors and new entrants to the online learning market to continually evolve and improve their business models. If these or other market participants introduce new or improved delivery of online education and technology-enabled services that are more compelling or widely accepted than ours, our ability to grow our revenue and achieve profitability could suffer. The emergence of enhanced generative AI capabilities could provide competitors with an advantage. For example, as LLMs and generative AI platforms become more capable, organizations and individuals may increasingly rely on these technologies to perform tasks directly, which could potentially reduce the need for human learning or training altogether. Several new and existing companies in the online education industry provide or may provide offerings similar to what we offer on our platform, and, despite any exclusivity arrangements we have with our instructors, these companies may nonetheless pursue relationships with our instructors that may reduce, or stop altogether, the content our instructors produce for our platform. In addition, enterprise customers may choose to continue using or develop their own online learning or training solutions in-house rather than pay for our platform.

We believe that our ability to successfully compete depends on a range of factors, both within and beyond our control, including:

•the availability or development of alternative online learning platforms that are more compelling to learners, instructors, or organizations than ours;

•changes in pricing policies and terms offered by our competitors or by us, including changes to our instructor revenue sharing model;

•the ability to adapt to or compete with new technologies and changes in requirements of our learners, instructors, and UB customers;

•the ability to adapt to disruptive innovation that may significantly alter or transform the competitive landscape, such as natural language processing, AI and machine learning;

•costs associated with acquiring and retaining learners, instructors, and UB customers;

•the ability of our current and future competitors to establish relationships with customers;

•industry consolidation and the number and rate of new entrants;

•difficulties with software development that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or implementation of platform modifications and enhancements; and

•costs associated with improving and maintaining our platform.

Current and potential competitors (including any new entrants into the market) may enjoy substantial competitive advantages over us, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, market- or industry-specific knowledge, more successful marketing capabilities, more successful adaptation to or integration of emerging technologies such as AI, and substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources than we have. Our current or new competitors may adopt certain aspects of our business model, which could reduce our ability to differentiate our services. Furthermore, online educational content is not typically marketed exclusively through any single channel and, accordingly, our competitors could aggregate a set of online learning courses similar to ours. Competition may intensify as our competitors raise additional capital or as new participants, including established companies, enter the markets in which we compete. Our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability could be impaired if we cannot compete successfully.

Table of Contents

The market for online learning solutions may not grow as we expect, which may harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our future success depends in part on the future growth in the demand for online learning solutions. We expect that broader societal and macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, general economic uncertainty, and the prevalence of remote or hybrid work, will influence the further development of the online learning market and the growth rate of remote, online and asynchronous learning and training solutions such as ours. The emergence and increasing adoption of LLMs and other generative AI technologies may also impact demand for online learning solutions, as these technologies could enable organizations and individuals to rely on AI systems to perform tasks directly, potentially reducing the need for human learning or training altogether. In addition, the rate at which online learning solutions are adopted by learners or UB customers may also depend on a variety of factors specific to individual learners or UB customers, such as budget constraints and training needs. Consequently, it is difficult to predict demand for and continued use of our platform by learners, instructors, and UB customers, the rate at which existing learners and instructors expand their engagement with our platform, the size and growth rate of the market for our platform, the entry of competitive offerings into the market, or the success of existing competitive offerings. Even if market demand for online learning solutions generally increases, we cannot assure you that adoption of our platform will also increase. If the market for online learning solutions does not grow as we expect or our platform does not achieve widespread adoption, it could result in reduced learner and customer spending, reduced engagement from instructors, attrition by learners, instructors, and UB customers, and decreased revenue, any of which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, that may limit our operating flexibility.

Our revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, transfer or dispose of assets, merge with other companies or consummate certain other changes of control, acquire other companies, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness and liens, make certain investments and engage in new businesses unrelated to our current business. We therefore may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of the lenders or terminate the credit facility, which may limit our operating flexibility. In addition, our credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property, and requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants. If we do not meet the financial covenants as specified in the credit facility, we may require forbearance or relief from our financial covenant violations from the lenders or be required to arrange alternative financing.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or sales to meet these financial covenants or pay the principal and interest on any such debt. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that future working capital, borrowings or equity financings will be available to repay or refinance any such debt. A breach of any of these covenants or the occurrence of certain other events specified in the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and/or the related collateral documents could result in an event of default under the credit agreement. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the credit facility immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could foreclose on the collateral granted to them to secure our obligations under our revolving credit facility. If the lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, if any, we may not have sufficient funds to repay our existing debt.

Our ability to meet the financial covenants could be affected by events beyond our control. Any inability to make scheduled payments or meet the financial covenants of our credit facility would adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

We may need to change our pricing, subscription, and contract models for our platform’s offerings, which in turn could adversely impact our results of operations.

We have in the past, and expect that we may in the future, need to change the pricing, subscription, and contract models for our platform’s offerings from time to time. As the market for our learning platform develops, as new competitors introduce competitive applications or services, or as we enter into new international markets, we may be unable to attract new learners or UB customers at the same price or based on the same pricing or subscription models we have historically used, or for contract lengths consistent with our historical averages. In addition, as we introduce new products, or improve existing ones, we may not be successful in developing appealing pricing, subscription and contract models for these products. Decisions we make may also impact the mix of adoption among our offerings, including the mix between subscription- and transaction-based offerings, and negatively impact our overall revenue and results. Changes to our pricing, subscription, or contract models may also result in increased customer churn, reduced customer lifetime value, or lower overall engagement with our platform. Competition may also require us to make substantial price concessions. Moreover, our consumer pricing model and methodology has been, and may in the future become, subject to legal challenge under applicable federal or state laws, regulations, and guidelines relating to promotional pricing practices. Our results of operations may be adversely affected by any of the foregoing, and consequently we may have increased difficulty achieving or maintaining profitability.

Failure to effectively leverage our strategic partnerships to market and sell our products could impact our ability to increase brand awareness and grow our revenue.

We rely on strategic partners, including resellers, for certain sales and marketing efforts. We plan to continue to establish and maintain similar strategic relationships as part of our growth strategy, and we expect these partners to become an increasingly important aspect of our business. Identifying partners and negotiating terms with them requires significant time and resources, and we are dependent on our ability to negotiate terms that are favorable to us and provide sufficient incentives for our partners to promote our products. If our partners do not effectively sell or market our products, choose to promote our competitors’ products or otherwise choose not to devote sufficient efforts to our business, our ability to grow our revenue may be impaired, and our results of operations may suffer.

In addition, we have granted exclusivity to resellers in certain geographies for UB, and so we are dependent on the sales efforts of our resellers in those geographies. For example, we have partnered with Benesse as our exclusive reseller in Japan. If we fail to effectively manage our existing resellers, or if our reseller partners are unsuccessful in fulfilling the orders for our products, or if we are unable to enter into arrangements with, and retain a sufficient number of, high quality reseller partners in each of the regions in which they sell products and keep them motivated to sell our products, our ability to sell our products and operating results will be harmed. Any negative changes in our relationship with our reseller partners, including the loss of a reseller or a significant reduction in business with a reseller, could adversely impact our sales in particular geographies, which could, in turn, negatively impact our results of operations.

Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our base of learners and UB customers and achieve broader market acceptance.

Our ability to broaden our base of both consumer learners and UB customers, and achieve broader market acceptance of our marketplace platform, will depend to a significant extent on the ability of our sales and marketing organizations to work together to drive our sales pipeline and cultivate customer relationships. Our marketing efforts include the use of search engine optimization, paid search, email marketing, and television.

We have invested in and plan to continue expanding our sales and marketing organizations, both domestically and internationally. Identifying, recruiting, training, and retaining talented sales and marketing personnel will require significant time, expense, and attention, and if we are unable to do so, or if the hired personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective, our ability to broaden our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform could be harmed. In addition, the investments we make in our sales and marketing organizations will occur in advance of experiencing benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources in these areas.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our reputation and business may suffer.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our ability to attract and retain learners, instructors, and UB customers, as well as commercial and strategic partners, and that the importance of our reputation and brand recognition will continue to increase as competition in the markets in which we operate continues to develop. Our success in this arena will depend on a range of factors, both within and beyond our control. Factors affecting our reputation and brand recognition that are within our control include our ability to:

•market our platform effectively and efficiently;

•maintain a useful, innovative, and reliable platform;

•maintain a high satisfaction among learners, instructors, and UB customers;

•provide a high quality and perceived value for our platform;

•successfully differentiate our platform from competing offerings;

•maintain a consistently high level of customer service; and

•prevent any actual or perceived data security breach or incident or data loss, or misuse or perceived misuse of our platform.

Additionally, our reputation and brand recognition may be affected by factors that are beyond our control, such as:

•the actions of competitors or other third parties;

•the quality and quantity of, as well as the nature and subject matter of, content available from instructors on our platform;

•positive or negative publicity, including with respect to events or activities attributed to us, our employees, instructors, or our commercial partners;

•interruptions, delays, or attacks on our platform; and

•litigation or legal developments.

Damage to our reputation and brand, from the factors listed above or otherwise, may reduce demand for our platform and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, any attempts to rehabilitate our reputation and brand recognition may be costly and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that any such efforts will ultimately be successful.

We could face liability, or our reputation might be harmed, as a result of courses posted to our platform.

Instructors at times post courses and related materials to our platform that contain content owned by third parties, and we do not proactively review content for potential infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we maintain and enforce terms and policies requiring instructors to respect the intellectual property rights of others, they may not do so. As a result, we are subject to potential liability to third parties for the unauthorized duplication, distribution, or other use of this material. In addition, third parties have alleged, and in the future may allege, misappropriation, plagiarism, defamation, disparagement or similar claims related to content appearing on our platform. Any such claims could subject us to costly litigation, regardless of whether the claims have merit. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our responses to complaints by third-party content owners regarding intellectual property violations will be sufficient to protect us from adverse claims. Our various liability insurance coverages may not cover potential claims of this type adequately or at all, and we may be required to alter or cease our uses of such material, which may include removing course content or altering the functionality of our platform, or be required to pay monetary damages.

Where applicable, we rely on a variety of statutory and common law frameworks and defenses, including those provided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the Communications Decency Act (the “CDA”), the fair-use doctrine in the United States and the E-Commerce Directive in the European Union (the “E.U.”). However, the availability, scope, and application of such frameworks, defenses, and statutes varies across the many jurisdictions in which we operate, and the applicable limitations on immunity, requirements to maintain immunity, and moderation efforts required in the many jurisdictions in which we operate may affect our ability to rely on these frameworks and defenses, or create uncertainty regarding liability for content posted to our platform.

Table of Contents

Moreover, regulators in the United States, the E.U., and in other jurisdictions in which we operate may introduce new regulatory regimes or modify existing regulatory regimes, including in ways that increase potential liability for information or content available on or through our platform or the content moderation decisions we make with respect to our platform, or which impose additional obligations to monitor such information or content, which could increase our costs. For example, the E.U.’s Digital Services Act (the “DSA”), which imposes new content moderation obligations, notice and transparency requirements, advertising limitations, and other consumer protection requirements, became fully applicable in February 2024. Non-compliance with the DSA could result in fines of up to 6% of global turnover, and could potentially subject us to litigation, enforcement actions, or other claims. Additionally, E.U. jurisdictions have imposed, and may in the future impose, additional content moderation requirements beyond those established by the DSA. For example, the Irish Online Safety Code, which became effective in October 2024, introduces additional obligations on video-sharing platforms to restrict the spread of harmful video and associated content. Non-compliance with the Online Safety Code could result in fines of up to the greater of €20 million or 10% of annual turnover.

Failure of our resellers or other commercial partners to use acceptable ethical business practices or comply with applicable laws could negatively impact our business.

In certain jurisdictions, such as Japan, we rely on third-party resellers and other commercial partners to distribute and market our offerings. We expect these resellers and partners to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, but we cannot control their conduct. If any of our resellers or partners violates applicable laws or implements business practices that are regarded as unethical, the distribution of our platform in those jurisdictions could be interrupted, usage of our platform could decline, our reputation could be damaged and we may be subject to liability. Any of these events could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our revenue, results of operations, and financial condition could be negatively affected by general economic conditions.

Our business is sensitive to trends in the general economy, which is unpredictable. Therefore, our operating results, to the extent they reflect changes in the broader economy, may be subject to significant fluctuations. Since online learning is generally dependent on discretionary spending, negative general economic or financial conditions or uncertainty regarding future economic or financial conditions could significantly reduce the overall amount that learners and organizations spend on, and the frequency of, online learning or result in delays to planned spending on online learning. Any or all of these factors could reduce the demand for our services, reducing our revenue and potentially increasing our need to make significant expenditures to continue to attract learners and UB customers to our platform. Additionally, adverse developments affecting the banking or financial services industries or the financial and capital markets, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could negatively affect our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected by natural disasters, public health emergencies, political crises, or other catastrophic events.

Our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected by catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, floods, fires, telecommunications failures, power losses, break-ins, acts of terrorism, wars and other armed conflicts, political or geopolitical crises, inclement weather and public health emergencies. In particular, our corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California, an earthquake-sensitive area and one that has been increasingly vulnerable to wildfires, and damage to or total destruction of our executive offices resulting from earthquakes may not be covered in whole or in part by any insurance we may have. If catastrophic events were to cause damage to our properties or interrupt our operations, our results of operations would suffer. Global climate change may result in natural disasters, such as drought, wildfires, severe storms, flooding, and heat waves, occurring more frequently or with greater intensity, which could result in greater physical risk to our business and operations as well as more significant indirect impacts to our business due to supply chain disruption and market volatility. We may not be able to effectively adapt our operations to avoid disruptions arising from the occurrence of such events, and our business could be affected adversely as a result.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth effectively.

The growth we have experienced, and may continue to experience, in our business places significant demands on our operational infrastructure. The scalability and flexibility of our platform depends on the functionality of our technology and network infrastructure and our ability to handle increased traffic and demand for bandwidth. The growth in the number of learners and instructors using our platform and the amount of educational content available through our platform has increased the amount of data and requests that we process. Any problems with the transmission of increased data and requests could result in harm to our brand or reputation. Moreover, as our business grows, we will need to devote additional resources to improving our operational infrastructure and enhancing our scalability in order to maintain the performance of our platform.

Our growth has placed, and will likely continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, financial, and other resources. Future growth in our organization could place additional strain on our existing resources and processes, and we could experience systemic operating difficulties in managing our business, which may negatively impact our gross profit or operating expenses.

Our future success depends on our ability to retain our senior management team and other highly skilled employees and to attract, retain, and motivate our qualified personnel.

We depend on the continued services and performance of our senior management team, key technical employees, and other key personnel. Although we have entered into employment agreements with senior management team members, each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time or not be able to perform the services we require in the future. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of our executives or other employees. Similarly, third parties may attempt to encourage our senior management team or other key employees to leave for other employment. The loss of one or more of the members of our senior management team or other key personnel for any reason could disrupt our operations, create uncertainty among investors, adversely impact employee retention and morale and significantly harm our business. Some members of our senior leadership team, such as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer, have been with our company for a short period of time.

From time to time we have experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with the appropriate level of qualifications. The companies with which we compete for qualified employees may have greater resources than we have and may offer compensation packages that are perceived to be better than ours. We use restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units, among other things, to help attract and retain employees; however, if our stock price performs poorly, these equity incentives may not be sufficient to achieve these goals. Additionally, changes in our compensation structure, workforce reductions and other cost reduction efforts (including our ongoing operational efficiency initiatives) may be negatively received by employees and result in attrition or recruiting difficulties.

If we fail to attract new employees or fail to retain and motivate our current employees, our business and future growth prospects could be adversely affected.

Acquisitions and other strategic investments may expose us to significant risks, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have in the past pursued, and may in the future pursue, acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, businesses, technologies, services and other assets that complement our business. We have limited experience as an organization with successfully executing and managing acquisitions and strategic investments. These kinds of transactions involve numerous risks, including the following:

•difficulties in realizing the anticipated economic, operational and other benefits of the acquisition or strategic investment successfully or in a timely manner;

•failure of businesses we acquire or invest in to achieve anticipated revenue, earnings, or cash flow;

•diversion of management’s attention or other resources from our existing business;

•any inability to maintain the key customers, business relationships, suppliers, and brand potential of businesses we acquire or invest in;

•uncertainty of entry into businesses or geographies in which we have limited or no prior experience or in which competitors have stronger positions;

•unanticipated or greater costs than expected associated with pursuing acquisitions or investments;

Table of Contents

•difficulties in, or costs associated with, any integration process, such as challenges associated with assigning or transferring acquired intellectual property or intellectual property licenses; integrating and auditing financial statements of acquired companies that have not historically prepared financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”); and integrating the workforce of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies;

•responsibility for the liabilities of acquired businesses, including those that were not disclosed to us or exceed our estimates, such as liabilities arising out of the failure to maintain effective privacy, data protection and cybersecurity controls, and liabilities arising out of the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including tax laws;

•inability to maintain our culture and values, ethical standards, controls, procedures, and policies; and

•asset write-offs and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with any acquisition or strategic investment, as well as any inability to accurately forecast such impacts.

We may not succeed in addressing these or other risks in connection with any acquisitions or strategic investments we undertake, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, we may have to pay cash, incur additional debt or issue equity or equity-linked securities to finance any acquisitions or investments, which could also adversely affect our financial condition or the trading price of our securities, and the sale of equity or equity-linked securities could result in dilution to our stockholders.

We may need to raise additional funds to pursue our growth strategy or continue operations, and we may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms.

From time to time, we may seek additional equity or debt financing to fund our growth, enhance our platform, respond to competitive pressures, or make acquisitions or other investments. Our business plans may change, general economic, financial or political conditions in our markets may deteriorate or other circumstances may arise, in each case that have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and the anticipated cash needs of our business. Any of these events or circumstances could result in significant additional funding needs, requiring us to raise additional capital. We cannot predict the timing or amount of any such capital requirements at this time. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or at all, we may be unable to expand our business at the rate desired and our results of operations may suffer.

We operate internationally and we plan to continue expanding our international operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in international operations.

Managing a global organization requires significant resources and management attention. We currently maintain operations outside of the United States, including in Ireland, Turkey, India, Australia, and Mexico, and we plan to expand our international operations in the future.

We generated 61% and 60% of our total revenue outside of North America during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 61% and 60% of our total revenue outside of North America during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based on our instructor registration records, we estimate that a majority of our instructors are located outside the United States. Any further international expansion efforts that we may undertake may not be as successful as we expect or at all.

Additionally, conducting international operations subjects us to risks that we have not generally faced in the United States. These risks include:

•the cost and resources required to localize our services, which requires the translation of our websites into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices and regulatory requirements;

•competition with local market participants who understand the local market better than we do or who have pre-existing relationships with our potential learners and UB customers in those markets;

•greater reliance on third-party resellers and other commercial partners for the distribution and marketing of our offerings;

•legal uncertainty regarding the operations of our platform and our liability for the content and services provided by our instructors, including as a result of evolving local laws or a lack of clear precedent of applicable law;

Table of Contents

•the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and legal standards;

•lack of familiarity with and unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;

•adapting to variations in methods of payment from learners and UB customers;

•difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;

•fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

•risks associated with foreign tax regimes, trade tariffs, foreign investment restrictions or requirements, or similar issues, which could negatively impact international adoption of our offerings;

•potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, digital services tax and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

•increased financial accounting, reporting, and other regulatory burdens and complexities, as well as difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls over the same;

•political, social, and economic instability abroad, wars and other armed conflicts, terrorist attacks, and security concerns in general, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East;

•reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and

•higher telecommunications and internet service provider costs.

Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. The investment and additional resources required to establish operations and manage growth in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability.

Our strategic and other relationships with partners overseas may also subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny in the United States and other jurisdictions. Operating in international markets could also increase our business exposure to the effects of trade and economic sanctions regulations. See “—We are subject to governmental export and import controls and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.”

Further, as we continue to expand internationally, we could also become subject to increased difficulties in collecting accounts receivable (including as a result of international sanctions or other trade restrictions affecting the geographies in which we or our learners or customers are present), repatriating money without adverse tax consequences, and risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have not engaged in currency hedging activities to limit risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and while we may decide to do so in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedging transactions may be limited. Changes in exchange rates affect our costs and earnings, and may also affect the book value of our assets located outside the United States and the amount of our stockholders’ equity.

We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations could subject us to claims or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to a variety of laws in the U.S. and abroad that affect our business. As a global platform with learners and instructors in over 180 countries, we are subject to a wide range of laws and regulations regarding consumer protection, advertising, electronic marketing, privacy, data protection and cybersecurity, data localization requirements, online services, freedom of speech, labor, real estate, taxation, intellectual property ownership and infringement, export and national security, tariffs, anti-corruption and telecommunications, all of which are continuously evolving and developing.

The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly laws outside the U.S., and compliance with laws, regulations and similar requirements may be burdensome and expensive. Because these laws and regulations are subject to change over time, we must continue to dedicate resources to monitoring developments in the law and ensuring compliance. Laws and regulations may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and certain jurisdictions may impose more stringent regulatory requirements than the U.S., which may increase the cost of compliance and doing business and expose us to possible litigation, penalties, or fines. Any such costs, which may rise in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation, could make our platform less attractive to learners, instructors, or enterprise customers or cause us to change or limit our ability to make available our platform. We have policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but we cannot assure you that we will not experience violations of such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures. Any such violations could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are subject to governmental export and import controls and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.

Our business activities are subject to various restrictions under U.S. export and similar laws and regulations, including trade and economic sanctions regulations. The U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations include restrictions or prohibitions on the sale of certain services to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons, and entities which in some cases might apply to our activities. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain technology and have enacted or could enact laws that could limit our ability to provide learners access to our platform or could limit our learners’ ability to access or use our services in those countries.

Although we take precautions to prevent our platform from being provided in violation of such laws and regulations, our platform could nevertheless be provided inadvertently in violation of such laws. Complying with these laws and regulations could be particularly difficult because our products are widely available worldwide, in some cases, by providing only minimal information at registration. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees could be subject to civil or criminal penalties. We also may be adversely affected through penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise. In addition, various countries regulate the import and export of certain encryption and other technology, including import and export permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our platform or could limit our learners’ ability to access our platform in those countries. Changes in our platform, or future changes in export and import regulations, may prevent our international learners or instructors from using our platform or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our platform to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation or changes in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform.

Failure to comply with anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws, and similar laws, could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the U.S. and other applicable jurisdictions. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws have been enforced aggressively in recent years and are interpreted broadly to generally prohibit companies, their employees, agents, representatives, business partners, and third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector.

We sometimes engage third parties to sell our products and conduct our business abroad. We and our employees, agents, representatives, business partners, or third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities and may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these employees, agents, representatives, business partners, or third-party intermediaries even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. We cannot assure you that none of our employees and agents will take actions in violation of applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible.

Table of Contents

These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that none of our employees, agents, representatives, business partners, or third-party intermediaries will take actions in violation of our policies and applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible.

Any allegations or violations of applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, enforcement actions, fines, damages, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions, or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, all of which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Responding to any investigation or action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.

We are from time to time involved in claims, lawsuits, government investigations, and other proceedings that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are involved in litigation matters from time to time, such as matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, employment, class action, whistleblower, accessibility, and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability, or require us to change our business practices. In addition, the expense of litigation and the timing of these expenses from period to period are difficult to estimate, subject to change, and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Because of the potential risks, expenses, and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we have meritorious claims or defenses, by agreeing to settlement agreements. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our sales to government clients expose us to additional risks.

We derive a portion of our revenue from sales to US federal, state and local governmental agencies, as well as foreign governments and agencies. Sales to government customers may be subject to lengthy and complex procurement processes, including technology and security assessments, budget approvals and competitive bidding requirements. Government demand for our offerings may be impacted by government shutdowns, public sector budgetary cycles, contracting requirements, and funding authorizations, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our products and subscriptions. Further, governmental entities may demand contract terms that differ from our standard arrangements and are less favorable than terms agreed with private sector customers, including terms that may allow a government to terminate without cause and provide for higher liability limits for certain losses.

In addition, as a government contractor, we must comply with laws, regulations, and contractual provisions relating to the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts, which affect how we do business with government agencies. Governmental entities may also be subject to a rapidly evolving regulatory framework that may impact their ability to use our platform and products. As a result of actual or perceived noncompliance with these laws, regulations, or contractual provisions, or applicable executive orders, we may be subject to non-ordinary course audits and internal investigations, which may prove costly to our business, divert management time, or limit our ability to continue selling our products and services to our government customers. Any violation of government contracting laws and regulations or contract terms could result in the impositio
