Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained within this Annual Report. These risks could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition which could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline and could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. Additional risks, beyond those summarized below or discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, may apply to our business, activities or operations as currently conducted or as we may conduct them in the future or in markets in which we operate or may operate in the future. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to maintain profitability. Although we have experienced rapid growth recently, if we fail to effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan and adequately address competitive challenges, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

•We may be unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, business strategies, or operating plans.

•We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult for you to evaluate our business, future prospects, and your investment, and makes it difficult to predict our future results of operations.

•Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future on a quarterly and annual basis. If we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.

•If we are unable to attract new clients, if existing clients do not renew their agreements or renew on less favorable terms, or if we do not achieve our performance guarantees, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

•If we fail to retain existing members or add new members, our revenue, business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

•A substantial portion of our client relationships are contracted through a limited number of health plans and other partners. If we are unable to establish, maintain, or grow these relationships over time or if the partners refer business to our competitors instead, we are likely to lose a portion of our clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

•Our increasing reliance on AI and machine learning technologies may expose us to significant risks, including development and deployment challenges, regulatory uncertainties, and potential third-party claims, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Part I

Item 1. Business

Overview

Our vision is to build a new health system that transforms outcomes, experience and costs by using technology to scale and automate the delivery of care.

Hinge Health leverages software, including AI, to automate care for joint and muscle health, delivering an outstanding member experience, improved member outcomes, and cost reductions for our clients and members. We have designed our platform to address a broad spectrum of MSK care—from acute injury, to chronic pain, to post-surgical rehabilitation. Members receive personalized and automated MSK care through our AI-powered motion tracking technology and a proprietary electrical nerve stimulation wearable device, all designed and monitored by our AI-supported care team of licensed physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified health coaches. Our platform can help to ease members’ pain, improve their function, and reduce their need for surgeries, all while driving health equity by allowing members to engage in their exercise therapy sessions from anywhere and embrace movement as a way of life.

We have developed an efficient go-to-market model by working directly with our partners and clients. We seek to be the most validated and the easiest to buy solution on the market. Our clients are primarily self-insured employers and include many of the nation’s leading enterprises across a broad range of industries and sizes. Within this segment, we also serve many public sector self-insured employers, such as state and local city governments and labor unions. In most instances, for our self-insured clients, we partner with clients’ health plans, TPAs, PBMs, or other ecosystem entities to reduce the friction of contracting, procurement, security and IT reviews, onboarding, and billing. We also serve health plans’ fully-insured and Medicare Advantage populations and federal insurance plans.

We believe that we grow efficiently because of our scalable, repeatable go-to-market model. We sell through our direct sales force and our partners. Once we contract with a client, we are most often the sole digital MSK care provider offered to their contracted lives, and our average contract term was three years as of December 31, 2025. For the term of each contract, we are able to enroll, engage, and re-engage the client’s eligible lives, driving a recurring, repeatable revenue model. As of December 31, 2025, we had over 60 partners. Our partners include the five largest national health plans by self-insured lives, and the top three PBMs by market share.

Our software-led, AI-powered delivery model not only aims to provide a better experience for our members and a less expensive alternative for our clients, but also allows us to innovate and continuously improve our platform. Our AI-powered motion tracking technology, TrueMotion, allows us to deliver highly scalable care remotely and reduce the human hours associated with traditional physical therapy. According to our estimates based on data from 2025, our platform reduced the number of human care team hours associated with traditional physical therapy by approximately 97%. We have done this while improving our high member satisfaction over time.

We are a research-led organization and routinely expand our platform with new programs, capabilities, and features. Over the last four years, we launched new programs to address six additional affected areas; launched Enso to deliver a non-addictive, non-invasive alternative for pain relief; developed HingeConnect for real-time targeted care support and external provider coordination; and integrated TrueMotion, our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology, to replace wearable sensors for our members. In 2022, we launched women’s pelvic health, a specialized care program within our chronic program, and, in 2023, we launched a fall prevention program for eligible lives in our Medicare Advantage population. In 2025, we launched and began selling our high-performance in-person provider network for MSK care, HingeSelect, which allows us to now provide members with end-to-end MSK care while further reducing costs for members, employers, and health plans.

Our Platform

We are a leading technology platform for individuals seeking to treat and prevent joint and muscle pain. We leverage technology and AI to automate and scale a care plan designed and monitored by our care team, while delivering improved member outcomes, personalized member experiences, and cost reductions for our clients.

Adherence is one of the largest challenges with physical therapy. We have designed our platform to meet our members where they are, allowing them to choose where, when, and how often they engage in their exercise therapy sessions and embrace movement as a way of life. We address both the physical and mental health challenges of coping with and moving past pain. In doing so, we believe we reduce the need for surgeries and medications. To achieve this, we built a platform that pairs AI-powered motion tracking technology, a wearable device with an AI-supported care team of licensed physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified health coaches, and a high-performance provider network for in person care.

We designed our platform to treat and prevent a broad spectrum of joint and muscle pain through scalable and personalized care. We offer a wide range of support with multiple programs, including for those suffering from chronic pain to those considering surgical interventions or undergoing post-surgery rehabilitation. Our platform and programs aim to treat and prevent MSK pain and injuries across the body, including the neck, upper back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, lower back, hips, pelvic region, thighs, knees, shins, calves, ankles, and feet. Our AI-powered motion tracking technology allows our software to provide exercise feedback in real time remotely, which reduces the human hours associated with traditional physical therapy and results in a more scalable and personalized model of care. We use AI and machine learning to provide personalized care through our programs, which are customized based on a member’s affected areas and movement threshold.

We routinely expand our platform with new programs, capabilities, and features. Over the last four years, we have launched new programs to address six additional affected areas, including specialized programs to address women’s pelvic health, menopause and fall prevention. We also launched Enso to deliver a non-addictive, non-invasive alternative for pain relief, developed HingeConnect for real-time targeted care support and external provider coordination, integrated TrueMotion technology to replace wearable sensors, and launched HingeSelect, our high-performance in-person provider network for MSK care.

Our Growth Strategy

We have experienced significant growth since inception, which we attribute to expanding our client base, increasing adoption across our existing client base, launching new programs, and expanding into new markets. We believe we are well positioned for continued growth.

Expand Our Client Base in Our Core Markets and Beyond

Our core client base is self-insured employers. Approximately 22 million lives from self-insured employers were contracted in our existing client base as of December 31, 2025, and we intend to leverage our experienced sales force and strong relationships with health plans, benefits consultants, and other ecosystem partners to further expand our client base. Our sales force has a client-specific strategy, which is customized by segment and client size. Our ecosystem partners play an important role by often offering us as their preferred MSK solution and providing a faster implementation route than contracting and implementation directly with clients.

We have expanded beyond our core self-insured employer market and will continue to evaluate opportunities to do so in the future. In addition to self-insured employers, we also offer our platform to fully-insured health plan populations, Medicare Advantage populations, and federal insurance plans. As of December 31, 2025, we were contracted with approximately 3 million lives in this segment. In many cases, after we have delivered positive outcomes for our partners’ self-insured employers, they decide to contract with us for their fully-insured and Medicare Advantage lines of business. We also developed a fall prevention program for eligible lives in our Medicare Advantage population and we also expect to expand into additional government agencies and government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Regarding international expansion, in the third quarter of 2024, we began introducing our global program to clients that are United States ("U.S.")-based multinational corporations. We have now expanded into Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom ("UK") and expect to further expand our global footprint in 2026. Initially, our global strategy is to serve our current clients with the objective of supporting their employees in their key geographies. We also plan to expand to non-U.S. based employers and government payers in countries outside of the U.S. over time. We are in the early stages of our international expansion, and we believe that international expansion could increase our number of contracted lives.

Increase Adoption Across Existing Client Base

We also plan to drive growth by increasing adoption by eligible lives within our existing client base. First, we expect to leverage our partner integrations, our proprietary HingeConnect AI-driven database, and our enrollment team’s capabilities to reach out to eligible lives when we believe they are most likely to benefit from our platform. Through data integrations with EHRs and health plans, we receive information about when eligible lives have seen a provider about pain or requested imaging or surgery. When we offer our platform to eligible lives in a timely way, it often increases adoption. Second, we have dedicated research and development resources to continuously optimize our targeting to maximize the number of eligible lives that enroll in our programs. Third, many members cycle in and out of pain over the course of their lives and will likely need our platform for multiple years. We have continued to focus on making our programs relevant for members so that they continue to use them throughout their lives, including by adopting our programs across multiple years. Additionally, we have increased the number of affected areas addressed by our platform, from two at our inception (knee and back) to sixteen (neck, upper back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, lower back, hips, pelvic region, thighs, knees, shins, calves, ankles, and feet) as of December 31, 2025. We have also created programs for many different types of care by expanding from chronic care to include acute, pre- and post-surgery, and preventative care. These developments allow us to reach and engage more members.

Launch New Programs and Capabilities Driven by Investment in Our Platform

We have a history of innovation and expect to continue to develop and invest in our platform to provide more value to our members, clients, and partners over time. We launched our platform for individuals with two affected areas and required physical sensors to deliver care, and we have since added fourteen affected areas, including specialized programs to address women's pelvic health, menopause and fall prevention, and replaced all sensors with AI-powered motion tracking technology. In 2025, we also launched and began to sell HingeSelect, our high-performance in-person provider network for MSK care. All of our programs are available to use from a single application, with members having the ability to treat multiple indications at one point. We believe we have a promising product roadmap ahead of us. Given the broad potential of our platform, we believe that we have a truly significant opportunity to launch new programs, products, and capabilities to attract new clients and increase adoption by eligible lives within our existing clients, as well as to improve programs and optimize engagement with our care team given our proprietary data and AI advantage.

Our Programs

Chronic: Our chronic program focuses on both the physical and behavioral aspects of care for members suffering from chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This program is available for a range of affected areas: upper and lower back, hip, pelvic floor, shoulders, knee, thigh, calf, shin, neck, elbow, forearm, hand, wrist, ankle, and foot. The vast majority of our members are enrolled in our chronic program. Each member receives tailored exercise therapy through our AI-powered technology, robust educational content, and the support of a care team composed of licensed physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified coaches that support care escalations. If more than one area of the body needs focus, our chronic program is available for multiple affected areas at the same time.

Women’s pelvic health: In 2022, we launched our women’s pelvic health program as part of our chronic program in order to support women across stages of life when pelvic disorders are most common, including during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause. Our women’s pelvic health program is designed to address pelvic pain and other symptoms through our chronic program with the support of a care team composed of pelvic health physical therapists, board-certified women’s health coaches, and urogynecologists that support care escalations. We personalize member care around five women’s pelvic health needs: pregnancy, postpartum, bladder and bowel control, pelvic pain, and pelvic strength. In 2025, we expanded our women’s pelvic health program to have a dedicated and comprehensive movement-based program that treats the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.

Acute: Our acute program is for members with short-term pain or a one-time injury, such as a sprained ankle. Similar to our other programs, members receive tailored exercise therapy and access to a care team. The acute program is more short-term oriented; however, if pain persists beyond 12 weeks, a member can transition to our chronic program for ongoing care.

Surgery decision support and high-risk member program: HingeConnect allows us to provide an enhanced care approach to support members considering surgery by offering increased support and targeted care support to help members reduce surgeries or invasive treatments as appropriate. With our rich data set, combined with machine learning-based algorithms, HingeConnect is designed to proactively identify high-risk eligible lives before they become high-cost claimants to the client.

Pre- and post-surgery: For members for whom MSK surgery is the treatment recommended by medical professionals caring for them, we offer programs designed to improve the quality of their pre- and post-surgical experience. Our pre- and post-surgery program is designed to expedite functional improvement and increase member satisfaction while reducing postoperative costs for the member and client. Through our platform, members receive guidance on exercise therapy for before and after surgery, tailored education about the surgery and recovery, progress tracking, and tools to aid with surgical preparation, pain management, and recovery. A member’s care plan can be shared with their surgeon in an effort to coordinate care.

Fall prevention: We launched a fall prevention program in 2023 to help adults aged 65 and older improve their physical abilities and reduce their risk of falling. This program includes a combination of exercise therapy, education, and care team support. We currently offer the fall prevention program to our Medicare Advantage clients and have fall prevention modules in the exercise library for all members to take advantage of.

Prevention: Our prevention program is a way for our members to maintain and improve their health and wellness and incorporate movement into their lives. Eligible lives who do not have MSK pain that are best addressed with our other programs are directed to our prevention program. Members may also move to our prevention program after completing one of our other programs. We provide our prevention program at no charge to our clients. Our prevention program offers access to exercise routines and education about sleep, stress management, nutrition, and movement.

Global: We launched our global program in the third quarter of 2024 and expect to expand our global footprint in 2026. Our global program makes high-quality care for common MSK conditions more accessible worldwide. Members receive a personalized treatment plan with exercise therapy and education that adapts to the member’s evolving needs over time, and the program employs TrueMotion AI-powered motion tracking technology for real-time feedback on exercises. Our global program content is localized with culturally relevant translations. Because our global program does not utilize hardware and is streamlined without care team access and support, we expect to be able to reach more members across more countries.

HingeSelect: In 2025 we launched our high-performance in-person provider network for MSK care. HingeSelect allows us to provide members with end-to-end MSK care while further reducing costs for members, employers, and health plans. Our technology and in-house orthopedic physicians triage and direct downstream care, prioritizing the most appropriate evidence-based treatments. When members need imaging, injections, or other in-person care they are seamlessly connected to pre-vetted providers at up to 50% below commercial rates. We are in the process of upselling our clients on this new offering.

Our Technology

We believe the thoughtful development of technology can radically improve experiences, outcomes, and costs in healthcare while ensuring consistent care regardless of income level or geography. We believe that in order to truly lower costs and ensure consistent care, technology must automate key aspects of care delivery. To that end, we have built our platform to incorporate a number of features, including our:

Intelligently personalized exercise engine: Once an eligible life completes our screening process, our proprietary algorithm automatically analyzes the inputs and enrolls the eligible life onto our platform. The algorithm takes the newly enrolled member’s profile and health history into consideration and ingests various attributes, such as demographics, comorbidities, exercise outcomes, and pain scores. We utilize data integration and machine learning to identify risk levels and specialized needs, and then place members into a program based on their profile. Our technology combines the member risk profile with any member-specific functional goals and develops personalized exercise treatment plans for the member based on their focus areas, all overseen by our care team. Treatment plans are sets of curated stretching and strengthening exercises targeting the individual member’s focus areas. Members receive personalized, AI-generated audio and visual feedback as they progress through their program, and their treatment plans evolve using near real-time feedback based on exercise form tracked via our AI-powered motion tracking technology, self-reported pain scores, and other member input. Our proprietary AI model is continuously learning and improving as each member enters our platform. From inception through December 31, 2025, we have had over one and a half million members, tracked over 106 million activity sessions, and generated 39 million member-reported outcome logs. The continuous improvement of our AI model and growth of our dataset enables better and more effective recommendations that are personalized to each member.

Patented AI-powered motion tracking technology (TrueMotion): Our patented TrueMotion AI-powered motion tracking technology is the foundation of our programs, intended to enable remote delivery at a fraction of the cost of traditional in-person care, which involves additional fees and costs such as overhead from rent and often requires a one-to-one ratio between the provider and care recipient. Our AI-powered motion tracking technology gives members access to leading exercise form guidance and correction using the measurement of human motion in 3D, which are available through the camera on their mobile device or personal tablet. Computer vision captures movement across the member’s body through over 100 reference points in order to guide complex exercises and allows us to track smaller areas of the body like the head, wrist or hand. Our AI-powered motion tracking technology guides the member with near real-time feedback on pace, alignment, and depth of an exercise, like a squat, and provides our data model and our physical therapists with more insights to personalize the member’s continuing care plan. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 40 issued patents and 88 pending patent applications for TrueMotion.

Proprietary high-risk identification engine (HingeConnect): HingeConnect, our proprietary engine, allows us to integrate EHR data, including daily and weekly insurance claims feeds, prior authorization records, and health plan partner referrals. Applying advanced algorithms and AI to this broad dataset, we can identify likely high-cost individuals efficiently before they become high-cost claimants to the client. We then either engage the eligible life through targeted marketing to enroll in our programs, or, for members, offer additional conservative care options. Additionally, with the members’ approval, we foster collaboration by sharing member progress and engagement with national health information exchanges and partners, which can enable continuity of care for our members across the broader healthcare ecosystem. We believe that by using HingeConnect we are revolutionizing healthcare delivery in a way that is designed to provide the right care at the right time to our members and in the most cost-effective manner for our clients.

AI-supported Care Team Assistant: We empower our care team with AI-supported technology to improve member interactions and the member experience as a whole. We believe our AI approach is a differentiator, allowing our care team more time to connect with members in the most high impact way. We have developed a Care Team Assistant, which is a generative AI tool that automates repetitive and straightforward tasks such as message generation, data aggregation, and profile reviews, which helps reduce time spent on administrative tasks and allows our care team to focus more on meaningful interactions with members. We believe our use of the Care Team Assistant enhances member retention and engagement while also enabling our care team to be more cost-effective as compared to traditional methods that do not utilize AI.

Advanced electrical nerve stimulation technology (Enso): Enso, our proprietary device for electrical nerve stimulation, was supported by 8 issued patents as well as 12 pending patent applications in the U.S. and the European Patent Office, as of December 31, 2025. We believe Enso is a valuable part of our platform because many people are in too much pain to move or have frequent flare ups. Enso is a small, lightweight, wearable device that delivers electrical nerve stimulation designed to provide non-addictive and non-invasive pain relief. Enso is an FDA-cleared device indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, and for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulders, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities. We believe that Enso can provide an easier way to manage pain, without drugs or surgery, and help members focus on enjoying life through reduced pain. Enso works by delivering electric pulses in a unique waveform that includes high frequency components. The Journal of Pain Research published results in 2024 from two randomized controlled trials ("RCTs") that we conducted on our Enso device, the most recent of which demonstrated that Enso increased the likelihood of pain reduction versus exercise therapy alone and other transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation. We have integrated Enso into our core programs for high-risk members and are the sole digital MSK platform with this solution.

Our Care Team

In addition to our technology, what makes us different from traditional physical therapy is that we provide simple, robust, and intelligently personalized care with a multidisciplinary care team of licensed physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified health coaches. Empowered by our AI algorithms, our physical therapists work with members to personalize their exercise therapy plan, and our health coaches provide education and behavioral support to help members overcome barriers that typically prevent engagement and recovery in traditional MSK care. Our physicians help oversee our programs, guide our clinical studies, and provide surgery decision support for members. Because our technology automates most of the processes, we believe our care team is able to be more efficient with their time and focus on providing members with tailored care.

Physical Therapists: As of December 31, 2025, all of our physical therapists were licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy and possessed an average of over eight years of clinical experience. Many have additional specialized training in areas such as orthopedics, pelvic health, and pain neuroscience and additional board certifications.

Physicians: Our physicians are board certified musculoskeletal medicine specialists. They are responsible for managing and designing our programs and offering surgery decision support to members when facing the possibility of surgery. Our physicians review in-person provider recommendations, provide advice on alternative options, and answer questions throughout the care process.

Health Coaches: Our health coaches are predominantly Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches ("NBC-HWC") who have completed a credentialed coach training program, which requires over 50 coaching sessions, 4,000 hours of work experience, practical skills assessments, written examinations, and a series of case studies. Health coaches can often be a catalyst for behavior change, using positive psychology, ability building, and motivational interviewing to help break down barriers that members may face over the course of their program.

Hinge Health Digital P.C., our affiliated professional medical corporations, contracts with or otherwise employs physicians, physical therapists, and other licensed health professionals in order to provide services to our clients and members, and under certain management services agreements, we serve as the exclusive manager and administrator of Hinge Health Digital P.C.’s non-clinical functions and services.

Sales and Marketing

Sales

We sell our platform to employers, health plans, and government entities through direct and indirect sales by leveraging our relationships with health plans, PBMs, TPAs, and other ecosystem entities such as centers of excellence and healthcare navigation partners. Our sales organization leverages our network of partners to execute an efficient go-to-market strategy.

Our sales coverage model takes into consideration both client size and industry. Our employer sales team sells primarily to self-insured employers. Our partnership sales team sells primarily to partners that service multiple lines of business such as fully-insured employers and Medicare Advantage.

Employer Sales

Our employer sales team is focused on selling into enterprise, large market, mid-market, public sector, labor unions, and health systems clients. The employer sales team identifies and closes opportunities primarily within self-insured employers. The employer sales team is supported by business development representatives, who support prospecting and pipeline generation activities and collaborate with our partnership sales team and our partners to pursue opportunities within their employer population. Our employer sales team consisted of 51 sales professionals as of December 31, 2025.

The sales cycle for employer sales varies greatly depending on the size and complexity of the employer, partnerships, and existing contracting vehicles. On average, the sales cycle for employer sales lasts roughly five months between engagement and signing, and for large complex deals the sales cycle may last more than 12 months.

Partnership Sales

Our partnership sales team pursues opportunities with health plan providers, PBMs, TPAs, and other potential partnerships entities. As of December 31, 2025, we had over 60 partners, consisting of health plans, PBMs, TPAs, and other ecosystem partners, including Accolade, Inc., Carrum Health, Inc., Castlight Health, Inc., Employer Direct Healthcare, LLC doing business as Lantern Specialty Care, Personify Health, Inc., Progny, Inc., Quantum Health, Inc., Teladoc Health, Inc., and Vera Whole Health, Inc. Our partners include the five largest national health plans based on self-insured lives and the top three PBMs by market share. Our partnership sales team supports the employer sales team by educating key partners on the benefits of Hinge Health and sets an overall strategy for engagement with partners that is used by the employer sales team to prospect and close new clients in collaboration with partners. Our partnerships provide us with access to our partners’ self-insured employer populations, enabling our employer sales team to then pursue opportunities with those self-insured employers.

Our partners act as a force multiplier as they often assist in sales efforts, contracting, implementation, and billing. Our partner network streamlines and simplifies contracting for employers even in cases in which our direct sales force leads the client sales and engagement process. Our partners facilitate sales for our smaller clients in particular. As of December 31, 2025, a majority of clients were contracted through our partnerships, which facilitates an easier contracting process by allowing clients to leverage existing contracts through our partners and shortening onboarding and implementation time. Most implementations are completed within a 40–100 day period from entering into a contract with a client. Typically, we enter into contracts with clients in the second half of the year and launch them on our platform in the first half of the following calendar year. Pursuant to our agreements, our partners often receive an administrative or a marketing fee for their services when we contract with a client through a partner. Although we utilize our partners to facilitate certain interactions with our clients, we engage directly with our clients to provide our platform and we contract directly with clients when needed or preferred.

Our partnership agreements generally have an average contract term of three years. From inception through December 31, 2025, we have retained 100% of our partners that we choose to work with, excluding partners who were acquired.

In addition to partnering with health plans and PBMs to access their self-insured populations, this team also sells directly to these partners’ fully insured and Medicare Advantage lines of business. Our partnership sales team consisted of 36 sales professionals as of December 31, 2025.

Marketing

There are three main components to our marketing: enterprise marketing, product marketing, and enrollment marketing.

Our enterprise marketing team is responsible for brand awareness, sales enablement, demand generation, event management, and our trial experience program. Business to business marketing generated by our enterprise marketing team is meant to support our sales teams in acquiring new clients.

Our product marketing team is responsible for managing the life cycle of our platform and programs. They are organized to align with our development teams and are responsible for market intelligence, market readiness, product definition, packaging, pricing, and go-to-market readiness across our operational teams.

Our enrollment marketing team focuses on business to consumer marketing and is responsible for reaching the eligible lives of our clients to encourage those who could benefit from our platform to enroll. This team is key to growing our member engagement throughout the lifetime of the client. To increase awareness within our clients’ employee bases, our enrollment marketing team engages with our partners and our clients’ human resources benefits team in targeted marketing campaigns to encourage eligible lives who would benefit from our platform to enroll. While marketing takes place on an ongoing basis, we increase marketing during periods when we expect more enrollments from eligible lives, including around new client launches, New Year resolutions, and open enrollment. In addition to direct marketing, we also actively work with our partners and our clients’ human resources benefits teams to assist in identifying eligible lives that would benefit from our platform and encouraging enrollment on our platform. For example, a healthcare navigation partner can direct an individual with MSK conditions to our platform, or a client’s human resources benefits team can incorporate Hinge Health marketing into its internal benefit campaigns.

Research and Development

Our research and development organization is responsible for the design, architecture, operation, and quality of our platform. In addition to improving our existing features, functionality, and reliability, the engineering and product teams are also responsible for developing capabilities beyond what is available through our current platform and programs. Since 2022, these development efforts have included our launch of Enso, a fall prevention program, five new MSK affected areas for our chronic and acute programs, our AI-powered motion tracking technology, and the addition of our women’s health pelvic program and subsequent extension to include menopause. These teams are also responsible for furthering our AI-powered capabilities and data integrations. We dedicate our research and development resources primarily in San Francisco, U.S., Bangalore, India, and Montreal, Canada.

Competitive Landscape

We are a leading technology platform for individuals seeking to treat and prevent joint and muscle pain. We built our platform to address the inefficiencies in the legacy system that treats MSK conditions today. The markets in which we operate are competitive and characterized by rapid change. We believe the success of our platform is contingent on our ability to provide an outstanding member experience, improved member outcomes, and cost reductions for our clients.

Our competitors fall into the following categories:

•Digital platforms that provide broad MSK care or programs that address a segment of MSK care, including Kaia Health Software, Inc. (acquired by Sword Health Technologies, Inc. in January 2026), Omada Health, Inc., Sword Health Technologies, Inc., and Vori Health, Inc.; and

•Health plans and health systems which may offer or develop products or services with features or benefits that overlap with our platform and programs.

We believe we compete favorably based on multiple factors, including the strength of our market leadership, our ability to deliver comprehensive care, our software, data and AI advantage, our demonstrable member outcomes and ROI, our scalable go-to-market strategy, and the extensibility of our platform.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements, as well as other legal and contractual rights, to establish and protect our intellectual and proprietary rights, which are of material importance to our business.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned 21 issued patents and 45 pending patent applications in the U.S. as well as 20 pending PCT applications, 26 foreign issued patents and 54 pending foreign patent applications. Our patents issued in the U.S. begin expiring in July 2033, excluding any patent term adjustment. Our issued patents and pending patent applications generally relate to our TrueMotion AI-powered motion tracking technology and Enso, a wearable device that utilizes our proprietary electrical nerve stimulation technology accessed through the Hinge Health app, as well as our platforms and programs generally. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 40 issued patents and 88 pending patent applications for TrueMotion and 8 issued patents and 12 pending patent applications for Enso. Due to the nature of our technology and the rapid technological changes that characterize the markets we operate in, we also rely on trade secrets, other unpatented know-how, and copyrights relied upon in connection with the development of new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services. Nevertheless, we continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property. Notwithstanding these efforts, we cannot be sure that new patents will be granted, and we cannot be sure that patents that are licensed or granted to us will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. Moreover, trade secrets can be difficult to protect and measures we take to protect our trade secrets may be breached. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property, Data Privacy, Information Technology, Cybersecurity.” We have a policy in place regarding the use of third-party and open-source AI tools to protect our proprietary, confidential, or otherwise protected information.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned 9 registered trademarks and 4 pending trademark applications in the U.S. and also held 50 registered trademarks and 7 pending trademark applications in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, we have registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as hingehealth.com.

We have a policy of requiring employees and consultants that contribute to the development of material intellectual property to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of an employment or consulting relationship with us. Our employee and independent contractor agreements also require relevant employees and independent contractors to assign to us all rights in and to any potentially patentable inventions and other intellectual property made or conceived during their employment or engagement with us.

Regulatory Environment

Government Regulation

U.S. Regulation of Medical Devices

Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other federal and state authorities in the U.S., as well as comparable authorities in foreign jurisdictions. Certain of our products, including our Enso device, are subject to regulation as medical devices in the U.S. under the FDCA as implemented and enforced by the FDA.

The FDA regulates the development, design, non-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, servicing, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution, and import and export of medical devices to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA.

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the U.S. requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, or approval of a premarket approval ("PMA") application. Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II, or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices (“General Controls”), which include compliance with the applicable portions of the current QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to the General Controls, as well as certain special controls deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include, among other things, performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries, and FDA guidance documents.

While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDCA requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. The FDA’s permission to commercially distribute a device subject to a 510(k) premarket notification is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting, or some implantable devices, or devices that have a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device, are placed in Class III, requiring approval of a PMA. Some devices are unclassified but remain subject to FDA’s premarket notification and clearance process in order to be commercially distributed.

510(k) Clearance Marketing Pathway and “de novo” Classification

Certain of our products, including the Enso device, have received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. To obtain 510(k) clearance, a manufacturer must submit to the FDA a premarket notification demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device already on the market. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device) and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was found substantially equivalent through the 510(k) process. If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” process, which is a route to market for novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device. This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request down-classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. We do not currently market any of our products pursuant to an approved PMA, nor have we sought de novo classification for our products.

PMA Approval Pathway

Class III devices require PMA approval before they can be marketed, although some pre-amendment Class III devices for which FDA has not yet required approval of a PMA are cleared through the 510(k) process. The PMA process is more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. In a PMA, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and the PMA must be supported by extensive data, including data from preclinical studies and human clinical trials. If the FDA accepts a PMA application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA, although in practice, the FDA’s review often takes significantly longer, and can take up to several years. The FDA will approve the device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). The FDA may approve a PMA with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported PMA approval or requirements to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval.

Clinical Studies

Clinical studies are almost always required to support a PMA or a de novo request, and are sometimes required to support 510(k) submissions. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s investigational device exemption (“IDE”) regulations which, among other things, govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical studies. The FDA defines a significant risk device as one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. If the device under evaluation does not present a “significant risk” to human health, then the device sponsor is not required to submit an IDE application to the FDA before initiating human clinical studies, but must still comply with abbreviated IDE requirements when conducting such studies, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements.

Regardless of the degree of risk presented by the medical device, clinical studies also must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) for each institution where the study will be conducted, or under a centralized IRB. The IRB is also responsible for study oversight, and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and the study is approved by one or more IRBs, the study may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical study after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs, without separate approval from the FDA. During a clinical study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping, and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. Additionally, after a study begins, the sponsor, the FDA, or the IRB could suspend or terminate the study at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.

Post-Market Regulation

After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:

•establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;

•Quality System Regulation (“QSR") requirements, which currently require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;

•labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products or the promotion of “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products;

•requirements related to promotional activities;

•clearance or approval of certain product modifications;

•medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

•correction, removal, and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;

•complying with laws and regulations requiring Unique Device Identifiers on medical devices and also requiring the submission of certain information about each device to the FDA’s Global Unique Device Identification Database;

•the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and

•post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when the FDA deems necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

Manufacturing processes for medical devices are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which currently cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation, and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, device history file, and complaint files. Manufacturers of medical devices are subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in, among other things, the shutdown of, or restrictions on, manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of marketed products. The discovery of previously unknown problems with marketed medical devices, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse events of increasing severity or frequency, whether resulting from the use of the device within the scope of its clearance or off-label by a physician in the practice of medicine, could result in restrictions on the device, including the removal of the product from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.

The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that a manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:

•warning letters, untitled letters, “it has come to our attention” letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

•recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detention or product seizures;

•operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

•refusing or delaying requests for clearance, approval, or reclassification of new products or modified products;

•withdrawing clearances or approvals that have already been granted;

•refusal to grant export approvals for devices being shipped to foreign markets; or

•criminal prosecution.

Regulation of Medical Devices in the European Union

We offer our global program internationally and in certain jurisdictions, our global program is considered a medical device and is subject to regulation by certain foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies. Medical devices are subject to extensive regulation, such as premarket review, marketing authorization, or certification, by similar agencies or notified bodies in other countries. Regulatory requirements and approval or certification processes are not harmonized and vary from one country to another. International regulators and notified bodies are independent and not bound by the findings of the FDA.

In the European Union ("EU"), until May 25, 2021, medical devices were regulated by the EU Medical Devices Directive, which has been repealed and replaced by the EU Medical Devices Regulation. Unlike directives, regulations are directly applicable in all EU member states without the need for member states to implement into national law.

In the EU, there is currently no premarket government review of medical devices. However, all medical devices placed on the EU market must meet general safety and performance requirements, including the requirement that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that, during normal conditions of use, it is suitable for its intended purpose. Medical devices must be safe and effective and must not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and, where applicable, other persons, provided that any risks which may be associated with their use constitute acceptable risks when weighed against the benefits to the patient and are compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety, taking into account the generally acknowledged state of the art.

Compliance with the general safety and performance requirements is a prerequisite for the European Conformity mark "(CE"), without which medical devices cannot be marketed or sold in the EU. To demonstrate compliance with the general safety and performance requirements, medical device manufacturers must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its (risk) classification. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I), where the manufacturer can self-assess the conformity of its products with the general safety and performance requirements (except for any parts which relate to sterility, metrology, or reuse aspects), a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a notified body. Notified bodies are independent organizations designated by EU member states to assess the conformity of devices before being placed on the market. A notified body would typically audit and examine a product’s technical dossiers and the manufacturer’s quality system. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant general safety and performance requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU.

Throughout the term of the certificate of conformity, the manufacturer will be subject to periodic surveillance audits to verify continued compliance with the applicable requirements. In particular, there will be a new audit by the notified body before it will renew the relevant certificate(s).

All manufacturers placing medical devices into the market in the EU must comply with the EU medical device vigilance system. Under this system, serious incidents and Field Safety Corrective Actions (“FSCAs”) must be reported to the relevant authorities of the EU member states. Manufacturers are required to take FSCAs (defined as actions to reduce a risk of death or serious deterioration in the state of health associated with the use of a medical device that is made available on the market). An FSCA may include the recall, modification, exchange, destruction, or retrofitting of the device.

The aforementioned EU rules are generally applicable in the EEA, which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.

Brexit and the UK Regulatory Framework

Since January 1, 2021, the MHRA has become the sovereign regulatory authority responsible for the medical device market in Great Britain, including England, Wales, and Scotland, and the EU regulatory regime no longer applies in Great Britain. Under the terms of the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol, the EU regulatory requirements continue to apply to medical devices placed on the Northern Ireland market.

Consequently, the regulatory framework in Great Britain continues to be broadly based on the requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive as implemented into national law. On June 26, 2022, the MHRA published its response to a 10-week consultation on the future regulation of medical devices in the UK. Regulations implementing the new regime were originally scheduled to come into force in July 2023, but the MHRA confirmed that the core elements of the new framework are now expected to be in place in 2025, while draft legislation for priority measures to enhance post-market surveillance were laid before Parliament in October 2024. In addition, on November 14, 2024, the MHRA launched a new consultation on proposals to update the regulatory framework for medical devices in Great Britain, covering four topics, namely (1) a new international reliance scheme to enable swifter market access for certain devices that have already been approved in a comparable regulator country; (2) the UKCA mark and, in particular, proposals to remove the requirement to place such UKCA marking on devices; (3) conformity assessment procedures for in vitro diagnostic devices; and (4) maintaining in UK law certain pieces of “assimilated” EU law which are due to sunset in 2025.

The MHRA consultation was opened until January 5, 2025 and it is expected that secondary legislation implementing the proposals would be introduced in 2025.

In addition, new regulations applicable in Great Britain now require that all medical devices must be registered with the MHRA prior to being placed on the market. Additionally, manufacturers based outside the UK will need to appoint a UK Responsible Person to register devices with the MHRA.

Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Laws

We and our affiliated professional entities are subject to a number of federal and state healthcare regulatory laws that restrict certain business practices in the healthcare industry. These laws include, but are not limited to, federal and state anti-kickback, false claims, self-referral, and other healthcare fraud and abuse laws.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the “AKS”) prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order, or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under federal and state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. The AKS includes statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors that protect certain arrangements. Failure to meet the requirements of a safe harbor, however, does not render an arrangement illegal. Rather, the government may evaluate such arrangements on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all facts and circumstances, including the parties’ intent and the arrangement’s potential for abuse, and arrangements may be subject to greater scrutiny by enforcement agencies.

The Stark Law prohibits a physician who has a financial relationship, or who has an immediate family member who has a financial relationship, with entities providing designated health services ("DHS") from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to such entities for the furnishing of DHS, unless an exception applies. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity from billing for any such prohibited referral. Unlike the AKS, the Stark Law is violated if the financial arrangement does not meet an applicable exception, regardless of any intent by the parties to induce or reward referrals or the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral.

The Federal False Claims Act (the “FCA”) prohibits a person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent request for payment from the federal government or from making a false statement or using a false record to have a claim approved. The FCA further provides that a lawsuit thereunder may be initiated in the name of the U.S. by an individual (a “whistleblower”) who is an original source of the allegations. Moreover, the government may assert that a claim including items and services resulting from a violation of the AKS or the Stark Law constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the civil FCA. Penalties for a violation of the FCA include fines for each false claim, plus up to three times the amount of damages caused by each false claim.

Further, the Civil Monetary Penalties Statute authorizes the imposition of civil monetary penalties, assessments, and exclusion against an individual or entity based on a variety of prohibited conduct, including, but not limited to, offering remuneration to a federal healthcare program beneficiary that the individual or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary to order or receive healthcare items or services from a particular provider.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, and regulations implemented thereunder (collectively, "HIPAA"), also established federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services. Similar to the AKS, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

Several states in which we operate also have adopted similar fraud and abuse laws as described above. The scope of these laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Some state fraud and abuse laws apply to items or services reimbursed by any payer, including patients and commercial insurers, not just those reimbursed by a federally funded healthcare program.

The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics, and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with certain exceptions, to report annually to the CMS information related to “payments or other transfers of value” made to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and chiropractors), certain non-physician practitioners (physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, anesthesiologist assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesiology assistants, and certified nurse midwives), and teaching hospitals, and to report annually to CMS certain ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members.

Many EU member states have adopted specific anti-gift statutes that further limit commercial practices for medical devices, in particular vis-à-vis healthcare professionals and organizations. Additionally, there has been a recent trend of increased regulation of payments and transfers of value provided to healthcare professionals or entities, and many EU member states have adopted national “Sunshine Acts” which impose reporting and transparency requirements (often on an annual basis), similar to the requirements in the U.S., on medical device manufacturers. Certain countries also mandate implementation of commercial compliance programs.

Violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that apply may result in significant penalties, including, without limitation, administrative civil and criminal penalties, damages, disgorgement, fines, additional reporting requirements and compliance oversight obligations, contractual damages, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and/or imprisonment.

Healthcare Reform

In the U.S., there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system, many of which are intended to contain or reduce healthcare costs. By way of example, the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Since its enactment, there have been judicial, executive, and congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a significant judicial challenge to the ACA without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA.

In addition, the ACA requires (with limited exceptions) that private health plans cover certain recommended preventive services without imposing member cost-sharing. For individuals covered by HDHPs, receiving preventive care coverage without cost-sharing will not affect their eligibility to make HSA contributions. Furthermore, HDHP participants retain their HSA-eligibility if they receive disease management or wellness programs that do not provide significant benefits in the nature of medical care or treatment, even if these are provided before the high deductible is met. With President Trump signing into law The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) on July 4, 2025, HSA eligibility was expanded. Specifically, the OBBBA made permanent the ability to receive telehealth and other remote care services before meeting the HDHP deductible while remaining eligible to contribute, effective January 1, 2025. As of January 1, 2026, bronze and catastrophic plans available through a state’s health insurance marketplace will be considered HSA-compatible, regardless of whether the plans satisfy the general definition of an HDHP, expanding the ability of people enrolled in such plans to contribute to HSAs. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, an otherwise eligible individual enrolled in certain direct primary care (“DPC”) service arrangements may contribute to an HSA, where they can also use their HSA funds tax-free to pay periodic DPC fees.

Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA and OBBBA were enacted, and we expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services.

For EU member states, in December 2021, Regulation No 2021/2282 on Health Technology Assessment (“HTA”), amending Directive 2011/24/EU (“HTA Regulation”), was adopted. While the HTA Regulation entered into force in January 2022, it applies from January 2025 onwards, with preparatory and implementation-related steps to take place in the interim. It will have a phased implementation depending on the concerned products. The HTA Regulation intends to boost cooperation among EU member states in assessing health technologies, including certain high-risk medical devices, and provide the basis for cooperation at the EU level for joint clinical assessments in these areas. It will permit EU member states to use common HTA tools, methodologies, and procedures across the EU, working together in four main areas, including joint clinical assessment of the innovative health technologies with the highest potential impact for patients, joint scientific consultations whereby developers can seek advice from HTA authorities, identification of emerging health technologies to identify promising technologies early, and continuing voluntary cooperation in other areas. Individual EU member states will continue to be responsible for assessing non-clinical (e.g., economic, social, ethical) aspects of health technology, and making decisions on pricing and reimbursement.

State Corporate Practice of Licensed Professions and Fee-Splitting Laws

Our arrangements with our affiliated professional entities are subject to various state laws in California and other jurisdictions, commonly referred to as corporate practice of medicine and physical therapy, respectively, and fee-splitting laws, which are intended to prevent unlicensed persons from interfering with or influencing the provider’s professional judgment and prohibit the sharing of professional service fees with non-professional or business interests. These laws vary from state to state and are subject to broad interpretation and enforcement by state regulators. A determination of non-compliance against us and/or our affiliated professional entities could lead to adverse judicial or administrative action, civil or criminal penalties, receipt of cease and desist orders from state regulators, loss of provider licenses, and/or restructuring of these arrangements. In order to comply with the corporate practice of medicine doctrine in states in which we operate, we have entered into a management or administrative services agreement (an “MSA”) with each of our affiliated professional entities. Under the MSAs, we provide various administrative and operations support services in exchange for scheduled fees for our services.

Telehealth Provider Licensing, Scope of Practice and Related Laws and Guidelines

The practice of medicine and physical therapy is subject to various federal, state, and local certification and licensing laws, regulations, and approvals relating to, among other things, the adequacy of medical care, the provision of telehealth, and operating policies and procedures. Physicians, physical therapists and other licensed health professionals who provide professional services to an individual via telehealth must, in most instances, hold a valid license to practice in the state in which the individual is located. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which we operate may prohibit or otherwise restrict our affiliated providers’ ability to provide such professional services via telehealth. Failure to comply with these laws could result in professional discipline for the affiliated professional entities’ providers or civil or criminal penalties, limit our ability to offer our platform and programs to individuals, and/or increase our costs of doing business. We continue to monitor and assess the development of new interpretations of existing laws or implementation of new laws to ensure that our affiliated providers are appropriately licensed under applicable state law and that their provision of telehealth to our members occurs in each instance in compliance with applicable rules governing telehealth.

Data Privacy and Security Laws

Numerous state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and standards govern the collection, use, access to, confidentiality and security of health-related and other personal information, and could apply now or in the future to our operations or the operations of our partners. In the U.S., numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws, health information privacy and security laws and consumer protection laws and regulations govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information. For example, HIPAA imposes privacy, security and breach notification obligations on certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, known as covered entities, as well as their business associates that perform certain services that involve creating, receiving, maintaining or transmitting individually identifiable health information for or on behalf of such covered entities, and their covered subcontractors. HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to develop and maintain policies with respect to the protection of, use and disclosure of PHI, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information, and certain notification requirements in the event of a breach of unsecured protected health information. Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report, before making a decision to invest in our Class A common stock. If any of the risks occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations, and Industry

We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to maintain profitability. Although we have experienced rapid growth recently, if we fail to effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan and adequately address competitive challenges, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

While we have experienced revenue growth over recent periods, we may not be able to sustain or increase our growth or maintain profitability in the future. We incurred a net loss of $528.3 million and $11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.05 billion. While we have achieved net income on a quarterly basis in certain periods, we have incurred net losses on an annual basis since our inception. We expect our costs will continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we expect to invest additional funds to grow our business, maintain and increase our members and clients, expand our engagement with partners, hire additional employees, including our care team, develop new programs and enhance our platform. We may not be able to sustain our growth or achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Our efforts to maintain and increase our client base and our members may be more challenging than we anticipate, and we may not be able to maintain the historical growth rate of our client base and our members. Our efforts to grow our business may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these expenses. Our limited operating history may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and our future prospects.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. We have recently experienced, and expect to continue to experience, rapid growth in our operations. This growth has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our operational and financial resources and our personnel. We may not be able to manage our anticipated future growth effectively, including due to a failure to maintain or enhance our information technology infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls, and regulatory compliance framework, or a failure to manage expanded operations and employees in geographically distributed locations. In addition to the expected costs to grow our business, we also expect to incur additional legal, accounting, and other expenses as we grow and operate as a publicly traded company. These expenditures may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives, business strategies, or operating plans.

Our growth initiatives, strategies, and operating plans are designed to enhance our business and expand our platform, programs, and products. The anticipated benefits from our growth initiatives, strategies and operating efforts are based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, we may not be able to successfully complete these growth initiatives, strategies, and operating plans and realize all of the benefits, including growth targets and cost savings, that we expect to achieve, or it may be more costly to do so than we anticipate. A variety of risks could cause us not to realize any or all of these expected benefits. These risks include, among others: delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to such growth initiatives, business strategies, and operating plans; increased difficulty and cost in implementing our initiatives, strategy and operating efforts, including difficulties in complying with additional, new and evolving regulatory requirements; and the incurrence of other unexpected costs associated with operating our business, including costs related to regulatory compliance. Moreover, our continued implementation and investment in these initiatives, strategies, and plans may disrupt our day-to-day operations and performance. Additionally, our growth initiatives and strategies, including our continued expansion into fully insured health plan and Medicare Advantage populations, has and may result in changes to our business model, which has and could impact our financial performance and our ability to predict our future results of operations. The fully insured and Medicare Advantage markets operate under different financial dynamics compared to our core self-insured employer channel, and we may experience variability in our revenue and gross margin as we continue our expansion. In addition, as we expand internationally, we have incurred and expect to incur additional costs to develop our global program and address international regulations, including research and development expenses and expenses for third-party professional services. As we continue to expand internationally, we could experience greater than anticipated costs to expand or we could be unable to successfully offer our global program or attract and retain clients and members to our global program. Further, the market for our global program operates under different financial dynamics compared to our core clients, and we may experience variability in results from our global program. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will realize any benefits from executing on our growth initiatives, business strategies, or operating plans. If, for any reason, the benefits we realize are less than our estimates or the implementation of these growth initiatives, strategies, and operating plans adversely affects our operations or costs more or takes longer to effectuate than we expect, or if our assumptions about their impact to our business prove inaccurate, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult for you to evaluate our business, future prospects, and your investment, and makes it difficult to predict our future results of operations.

We were formed in 2012 and launched our first U.S. client in 2016. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our operations and future prospects. As a result of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. As such, we face risks and uncertainties relating to our ability to implement our business plan successfully, including, without limitation, our ability to maintain and increase our clients, members, contracted lives, and partners, expand our business in existing markets and enter new markets, and our ability to accurately forecast our future results of operations, including revenue, margins, cash flow, and net income (loss), as well as plan our operating expenses. In addition, our business is affected by general macroeconomic and business conditions in the U.S. and around the world, including fluctuating interest rates, political and market instability and uncertainty, inflationary pressures, government shutdowns, terrorist activities and armed conflicts, and other health crises and natural disasters that affect us and our clients, members, and partners. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or change due to changes in our markets or changes in business and economic conditions generally, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations and financial results may differ materially from our expectations and our business may suffer. These risks and challenges could affect fundamental aspects of our business, including our ability to:

•maintain and increase our contracted lives and members;

•maintain and increase our clients and partners;

•maintain and increase revenue from our platform;

•enhance our platform, develop new or enhanced programs, and effectively manage our growth, including our international expansion;

•comply with existing and new laws and regulations applicable to our business, including those that become applicable to our business in connection with our growth initiatives and strategies, and our industry, including, without limitation, any healthcare regulatory laws and compliance regulations that govern our platform and programs;

•successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, our markets or that offer MSK treatments;

•maintain and improve the infrastructure underlying our platform, including our apps and website, including with respect to data protection and cybersecurity; and

•maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand.

We may not be able to address these risks and challenges in a cost-effective manner, or at all. Our potential for future profitability and growth must be considered in light of these and other risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties.

Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future on a quarterly and annual basis. If we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.

Our results of operations have in the past, and may in the future, continue to fluctuate significantly on a quarterly and annual basis, driven in part by the cyclical nature of our business and the seasonal nature of our sales cycle. For example, a majority of our clients enter into contracts with us in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year, in line with the typical employee benefit enrollment period. Most of these clients are then launched in the first or second quarter of the following calendar year. Macroeconomic conditions, however, may delay or halt the launch process. We may be affected by different seasonal trends in the future, particularly as our business matures. For example, we expect that, from time to time due to macroeconomic factors outside of our control, certain clients or potential clients may not engage with us until later in the fourth quarter of a calendar year, which may delay the timing of our billings and the start of revenue recognition. We may experience unexpected fluctuations in our results of operations and financial metrics and make forecasting our future results of operations and financial metrics more difficult.

Further, while we sometimes offer a flat annual fee per member for our platform, many client agreements reflect engagement-based or milestone-based payments. Accordingly, there is a risk that we may not be able to monetize engagement by members in the manner we predict or expect based on this pricing model. In addition, we are implementing an alternative engagement-based pricing model in the near term based on member engagement, which may take more time and require more effort to implement than anticipated, may have results that are difficult to predict, and may result in decreased revenue from some clients. Additionally, since we recognize revenue ratably over the course of an annual subscription, any decreases in our sales to new clients or renewals of existing clients in any one period may not immediately be fully reflected as a decrease in revenue for that period, but would negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. This dynamic also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through the sale of additional subscriptions in any period. If we fail to match our past performance, if our quarterly performance fluctuates due to macroeconomic factors outside of our control, or if we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline. Moreover, our stock price may be based on expectations of our future performance that may be unrealistic or that may not be met. Some of the important factors that could cause our revenue and results of operations to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:

•our ability to maintain and increase our contracted lives and members;

•our ability to maintain and increase our clients and partners;

•the termination or renegotiation by our significant partners of their agreements with us;

•our ability to develop and deploy new or enhanced programs, expand our platform and our products, execute on our growth initiatives and strategies, and effectively manage our growth;

•our ability to deliver on performance guarantees, which may include engagement thresholds, member reported outcomes, and client return on investment, that are offered to the vast majority of our clients;

•the impact of our alternative engagement-based pricing model;

•our ability to comply with existing and new laws and regulations applicable to our business and our industry, including, without limitation, any healthcare regulatory laws and compliance regulations that govern our platform and programs;

•disruptions or outages in our app and website availability, actual or perceived breaches of privacy, and compromises of the data of our contracted lives;

•our ability to successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, our markets or offer MSK treatments;

•our ability to effectively manage our international growth and operations;

•shifts in healthcare benefits trends and reimbursement arrangements;

•our ability to manage reputational risks; and

•general industry and macroeconomic conditions that would adversely impact sales.

If we are unable to attract new clients, if existing clients do not renew their agreements or renew on less favorable terms, or if we do not achieve our performance guarantees, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In order to grow our business, we must continually attract new clients and reduce the level of non-renewals in our business. Our ability to do so depends in large part on the success of our sales and marketing efforts and on our relationships with clients and partners. We aim to enter into long-term relationships with clients and with partners. The majority of our clients enter into contracts with us through our relationships with health plans. Most of our agreements with health plans are three-year contracts; however, health plans can generally unilaterally terminate their relationship with us pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us or can seek to renegotiate their agreements prior to the end of the contract term. Additionally, our client contracts often include a performance guarantee, which may include engagement thresholds, member reported outcomes, and client return on investment, and, if we are unable to achieve these performance guarantees on a consistent basis, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Even if we are successful in attracting new clients, our success with clients will depend in part on how many of their contracted lives engage with and desire to use, and continue to use, our platform and programs, which is a factor for whether such clients continue to renew their agreements with us. Under our client agreements, our revenue depends on the fees we collect based on the number of, and engagement of, members. The more contracted lives a client has, the larger the number of potential members, which increases the potential for the fees we can collect from that client. Many factors may lead to a decrease in the contracted lives at a given client, including, but not limited to, the natural attrition of a client’s contracted lives and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on our clients or potential clients that may result in a decrease in their employee population, and continued acceptance of our platform and programs for existing and new areas affected by MSK such that clients expand their base of contracted lives. Further, larger clients may have complex decision-making processes to offer our platform and programs to their contracted lives, which could limit or delay our ability to engage with members or contracted lives. For example, a client may take time to review and implement our new programs, which may delay our ability to market them to members and contracted lives, or a client may decide not to implement our new programs.

Our client base may decline or fluctuate due to a number of factors, including our pricing, the prices of products and services offered by our competitors, reduced hiring by our clients or reductions in their contracted lives due to macroeconomic or other factors, the efficacy of our platform and programs for members, the desirability of our platform and programs to members and contracted lives, cost-effectiveness of our platform and programs for our clients, our ability to satisfy our obligations under our client contracts, and consolidation of our client base. In particular, our overall performance depends, in part, on economic conditions. In recent periods, we have observed increased economic uncertainty in the U.S. and abroad. As our clients react to global economic conditions, including the impact of inflation on wages and labor costs, reduced discretionary spending, and the potential for a global recession, we may see them reduce spending, reduce contracted lives, and take additional precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity. In addition, if any of our clients are unable to access funds pursuant to instruments or lending arrangements with a financial institution that falls into receivership or experiences similar liquidity issues, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Any future changes to the price or the timing of payment collection for use of our platform and programs pursuant to the terms of our agreements, including changes under our alternative engagement-based pricing model, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Reductions in spending by clients on our platform and programs, delays in purchasing decisions, fewer renewals, and an inability to attract new clients, as well as pressure for extended billing terms or pricing discounts, could limit our ability to grow our business and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, we are implementing an alternative engagement-based pricing model in the near term based on member engagement, which may take more time and require more effort to implement than anticipated and may have results that are difficult to predict. If we are unable to retain and increase our engagement of existing clients or attract new clients for any of the reasons above or for other reasons, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

If we fail to retain existing members or add new members, our revenue, business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

Our number of members and such members’ continued engagement are critical to our success. Our financial performance has been and will continue to be significantly determined by our success in adding, retaining, and engaging members. Our members join through their employers, health plans, and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries, who are our clients, and our ability to retain or attract new members depends on our ability to successfully engage with such clients or potential clients that provide their contracted lives access to our platform and programs.

Our ability to maintain members depends on our ability to provide an engaging, effective, accessible, and competitive platform. In addition, we believe our future success will depend in part on our ability to increase both the speed and success of member enrollment, by improving our outreach to contracted lives, engagement with contracted lives and members, enrollment methodology, hiring and training qualified professionals, and increasing our ability to integrate into large-scale, complex technology environments. Such members or contracted lives rely on various sources to determine the effectiveness of our platform and programs. For example, if PBMs at our clients do not perceive our platform and programs to be useful, effective, reliable, and trustworthy, we may not be able to attract or retain members or otherwise maintain or increase the frequency and duration of their engagement. Lack of support for our platform and programs from PBMs can affect how receptive potential clients will be to engage with us and offer our platform and programs to their contracted lives. Subsequently, such a decrease in our ability to engage new members or retain existing members due to negative perception could render us less attractive to our potential clients that could provide direct access to additional contracted lives and members, which may have a material and adverse impact on our revenue, business, results of operations, and financial condition. Moreover, members who may benefit from our platform and programs may lose interest and disengage, and ultimately not re-enroll, for reasons outside of our control that are not in response to the effectiveness or utility of our platform and programs.

Moreover, even if our platform and programs are effective, members may decide not to enroll in future periods and may stop using our platform and programs until additional or a recurrence of MSK conditions cause them to re-enroll. Our forecasts may not accurately estimate member yield or our number of members.

Any other number of factors could potentially negatively affect new member engagement and growth or existing member retention, including if:

•our platform and programs are deemed ineffective by PBMs, existing members, or publications;

•we fail to introduce new and enhanced programs or expand our platform, or if we introduce new or enhanced programs or expand our platform for our existing members that are not favorably received;

•there are changes in member sentiment about the quality, effectiveness, or accessibility of our platform and programs or concerns related to privacy and data sharing, safety, security, or other factors;

•there are adverse changes in our platform and programs that are mandated by legislation, regulatory authorities, or litigation, including settlements or consent decrees;

•there are shifts in healthcare benefits trends;

•clients offer their members or employees a significant volume of optional health benefits that result in contracted lives overlooking our platform and programs or choosing to focus on others;

•partners or clients do not consent to the implementation of our new programs and do not offer them to their contracted lives;

•our marketing efforts to contracted lives are ineffective or limited by our clients;

•technical or other problems prevent us from delivering our platform and programs in an efficient, accessible, and reliable manner or otherwise affect the member experience;

•we adopt policies or procedures related to areas such as sharing the data of our contracted lives that are perceived negatively by our members or the general public; and

•new offerings from our competitors are introduced to the market, including those that have features or functionality that may be superior to ours or that are lower-cost alternatives.

In some cases, clients initially enter into an agreement with us to provide our platform and programs to their contracted lives, but, for a variety of possible reasons, contracted lives ultimately fail to engage with our platform and programs at the expected volume. Our forecasts may not accurately estimate engagement rates, the amount of member engagements, and other assumptions we rely on to anticipate expected growth for our business and revenue, including under our alternative engagement-based pricing model. Additionally, if we are unable to achieve the expected volume of members based on our engagement with clients, or are unable to do so in a timely manner and, as a result, contracted lives do not utilize our platform and programs, clients are unlikely to renew their agreement with us and we may not be able to generate future revenue from such clients, which may adversely impact our future business, results of operations, and financial condition. If we are unable to maintain and increase our existing members and member engagement, our revenue, business, results of operation, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

An individual covered by a high deductible health plan (“HDHP”) is generally ineligible to make health savings account (“HSA”) contributions if they separately receive any non-HDHP coverage, subject to certain exceptions. Congress recently made permanent a provision originally contained in Section 3701 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which permits plan sponsors to provide telehealth services to HDHP participants before the participant satisfies the deductible without risking their HSA eligibility. While the permanency of this provision offers greater clarity with respect to the availability of pre-deductible telehealth coverage, ongoing regulatory oversight of its implementation remains. We anticipate the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may issue guidance which could limit the scope of this safe harbor. The timing and exact nature of any such rules, if any, are unknown at this time. Nonetheless, Section 223(c)(2)(A) of the Code provides a different safe harbor that allows HDHP participants to receive benefits from certain employee assistance programs, disease management, and wellness programs before they meet their HDHP deductible as long as these programs do not offer significant benefits in the nature of medical care or treatment. It could materially affect our business if and to the extent health plans elect to cease being clients rather than relying on the safe harbor set forth in Section 3701 or Section 223(c)(2)(A) of the Code and related guidance, particularly if the IRS issues regulations or guidance that limits the telehealth safe harbor or creates uncertainty regarding its application.

A substantial portion of our client relationships are contracted through a limited number of health plans and other partners. If we are unable to establish, maintain, or grow these relationships over time or if the partners refer business to our competitors instead, we are likely to lose a portion of our clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had approximately 60 partners. Historically, a majority of our clients contracted with us through a limited number of large national or regional health plans and other partners who are large nationwide PBMs. Client contracts through our partners accounted for 82% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 79% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 client contracts through each of our top three partners, which are all large national health plans, represented more than 10% of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, client contracts through (i) Health Care Service Corporation (“HCSC”) accounted for 17.5% and 17.1% of our revenue, respectively, (ii) Elevance Health, Inc., formerly known as Anthem, Inc. (“Elevance”), accounted for 13.7% and 14.0% of our revenue, respectively, and (iii) Aetna Life Insurance Company (“Aetna”) accounted for 10.5% and 11.6% of our revenue, respectively. These partners are not required to work with us on an exclusive basis. Additionally, we expect the distribution of revenue and our top three partners to change over time. If we are unable to establish, maintain, or grow these relationships over time or if the partners refer business to our competitors instead, we are likely to lose a portion of our clients and our business, results of operations, and financial condition will suffer. The loss of any of our key partners could impact the growth rate of our revenue, business, and results of operations as we work to obtain new partners or replacement relationships and to contract directly with affected clients or through another partner affiliated with affected clients. Additionally, if the financial terms of our agreements with key partners, particularly major health plans, become less favorable to us as they are renewed, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our partnership agreements generally have an average contract term of three years. As of December 31, 2025, none of our agreements with our top three partners were due to expire prior to 2027. Each of the agreements are terminable, however, by our partners for convenience, subject to a notice period. In addition, the agreements may be terminated for other reasons, which include material breach of the agreement or our insolvency. As a result, contracts with these partners may be terminated before their term expires, and our partners may seek to renegotiate the terms of their agreements before their term expires. If a partner were to terminate its contract with us, we would need to contract directly with affected clients or through another partner affiliated with affected clients, such as a PBM. In such an event, we may be required or may choose to expend resources in order to recontract with the client and such efforts could be costly, time-consuming, or ultimately unsuccessful. Our partnership agreements often include provisions for administrative or marketing fees payable to partners when we contract with a client through them. In our negotiations with health plan contracts, we may also agree to terms in favor of the health plans that could expose us to potentially high expenses or liabilities, including unfavorable indemnification clauses that promise to indemnify the plans if the use of our platform and programs does not qualify for “first-dollar” coverage due to legislative changes. See the risk factor titled “—Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters—Legislative or regulatory healthcare reform measures may make it more difficult and costly to operate our business, or to do so profitably. Accordingly, such legislative or regulatory healthcare reform measures may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.”

Further, while we collect revenue from our clients, if the client is contracted through a health plan partner, then the health plan partner remits payment to us. In addition, while we have agreements with our partners that indicate the terms of payment, our partners may audit or dispute our contracts and billing practices because they differ from traditional health plan contracting and billing practices, which could lead to delays in payment or non-payment of certain fees, deterioration in the partner relationship, or renegotiation of partner agreements. Such risks may increase as we shift to our alternative engagement-based pricing model. In order to grow our business, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on our relationships with third parties, including our partners. Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services or to prevent or reduce utilization of our platform and programs. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Even if we are successful, our relationships with third parties may not result in an increase in clients, members, contracted lives, or revenue.

We incur upfront costs in our client and partner relationships, and if we are unable to maintain and grow these relationships over time, we are likely to fail to recover these costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We devote resources to establish relationships with our partners, including health plans in particular, in order to implement our platform, and have a relatively long sales cycle. Accordingly, our results of operations will depend in substantial part on our ability to enroll our clients’ contracted lives as members, deliver a successful experience for clients and members, and persuade our clients and partners to maintain and grow their relationships with us over time. We also invest in expanding our partner relationships, particularly with health plans. Additionally, if our business grows significantly, our client, partner, and member acquisition costs could outpace our build-up of recurring revenue, and we may be unable to reduce our total operating costs through economies of scale such that we are unable to achieve profitability. We incur upfront costs in establishing our client and partner relationships. If we fail to achieve appropriate economies of scale, if our investments in these relationships fail to materialize or if we fail to manage or anticipate the evolution and demand of our platform and programs, our member yield may decrease, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we are not able to develop and release new programs and new products, or successful enhancements, new features, and modifications, to our existing platform and programs, or if our clients do not consent to the inclusion of platform and program enhancements in their agreements, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The markets in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements, changing client and member demands, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies can quickly make existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable. Additionally, changes in laws and regulations could impact the usefulness of our platform and programs and could necessitate changes or modifications to our platform and programs to accommodate such changes.

We invest substantial resources in our growth initiatives and strategies, which include researching and developing new programs and new products and enhancing our existing platform and programs by incorporating additional features, improving functionality, and adding other improvements to meet our members’ evolving needs. The success of any enhancements or improvements to our platform and programs, or any new programs or products, including those in markets beyond the MSK market, depends on several factors, including timely completion, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with new and existing technologies in our platform and third-party partners’ technologies, and overall market acceptance. We may not succeed in developing, marketing, and delivering on a timely and cost-effective basis new products, enhancements or improvements to our platform and programs, or any new programs, that respond to continued changes in market demands or new client or member requirements, and any new products, enhancements or improvements to our platform and programs, or any new programs, may not achieve market acceptance. In addition, many partners and clients require additional consent before we can offer new programs to their members, which can delay the process and adversely affect potential revenue.

Since developing or enhancing our platform, programs, and products is complex, the timetable for the release of new programs, enhancements to our existing platform and programs, and new products is difficult to predict, and we may not offer new programs, enhancements to our platform and programs, or new products as rapidly as our clients require or expect. Any new programs, new products, and enhancements to our platform and programs that we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may not have actual or perceived effectiveness or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. Moreover, even if we introduce new programs, new products, or enhancements to our platform and programs, we may experience a decline in revenue from our programs that is not offset by revenue from the new programs, new products, or enhancements to our existing platform and programs.

The introduction of new products and services by competitors, the development of entirely new technologies to replace existing offerings, or shifts in healthcare benefits trends could make our platform and programs obsolete or adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design, or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new programs, new products, enhancements, additional features, or capabilities. If clients do not widely engage with us and their contracted lives do not adopt our platform and programs, we may not be able to realize a return on our investment. If we do not accurately anticipate client and member demand or we are unable to develop, license, or acquire new features and capabilities on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if such enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, it could result in adverse publicity and loss of revenue or market acceptance, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The failure of our platform and programs to achieve and maintain market acceptance or to effectively compete against other technological breakthroughs for the treatment or prevention of MSK conditions could result in us achieving sales below our expectations, which would cause our business, results of operations, and financial condition to be materially adversely affected.

Our current business strategy is highly dependent on our platform and programs achieving and maintaining market acceptance. Market acceptance and adoption of our platform and programs depends on educating people with MSK conditions, including existing and potential clients, members, and contracted lives, as to the accessibility, distinct features, ease-of-use, positive lifestyle impact, cost savings, and other real and perceived benefits of our platform and programs as compared to other solutions. Additionally, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives and remain competitive will depend, among other things, on our ability to develop and commercialize programs that are market-accepted for the treatment of MSK conditions that offer accessibility, have distinct features, are easy-to-use, provide measurable and meaningful cost savings to clients, and are more appealing than available alternatives. Our competitors, as well as a number of other companies, within and outside the healthcare industry, are pursuing new delivery devices, delivery technologies, sensing technologies, procedures, drugs, and other therapies, including solutions driven by AI and machine learning, for the monitoring and treatment of MSK conditions.

Achieving and maintaining market acceptance of our platform and programs could be negatively impacted by many factors, including:

•the failure of our platform and programs to achieve wide acceptance among key opinion leaders in the treatment community and among people living with or at risk for MSK conditions, health plans, or other existing or potential clients, partners, and members;

•lack of sufficient evidence or peer-reviewed publication of clinical evidence supporting the safety, ease-of-use, cost-savings, or other real or perceived benefits of our platform and programs over competitive products or other currently available methodologies;

•perceived risks associated with the use of our platform and programs or similar products or technologies generally, including those that incorporate AI and machine learning;

•individual and healthcare industry concerns or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of digital health;

•the introduction of competitive solutions and the rate of acceptance of those solutions as compared to our platform and programs;

•challenges to our platform and programs by traditional care providers and affiliated professional entities;

•the pace of innovation in AI and machine learning, which may lead to the development of superior or more cost-effective solutions that could render our platform and programs obsolete or less competitive;

•uncertainty around new and emerging AI and machine learning technologies, and the risks involved in the development and deployment of such technologies; and

•results of clinical and financial studies relating to MSK solutions or similar competitive solutions, including those prepared by our potential clients and partners.

If we are not successful in demonstrating to existing and potential clients, members, and partners, including health plans, the benefits of our platform and programs, or if we are not able to achieve the support of existing and potential clients, members, and partners for our platform and programs, our revenue may decline or we may fail to increase our revenue in line with our forecasts, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We operate in an evolving and competitive industry and if we fail to compete effectively against our existing or potential competitors, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We compete across various segments within the healthcare market, including with respect to traditional healthcare providers, physical therapy providers and medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine, medical devices, and health information exchanges. Larger and more established companies, which could include our partners, may focus on our markets and could directly compete with us by implementing their own solutions for MSK care. Smaller companies could also launch new products and services that compete with us and that could gain market acceptance quickly. Our competitors and potential competitors include both enterprise companies that are focused on, or may enter, the healthcare industry, including initiatives and partnerships launched by these large companies, and private companies that offer point solutions for a single MSK condition. We currently face competition from a range of companies, including digital platforms that provide broad care or programs that address a segment of MSK care, such as Kaia Health Software, Inc. (acquired by Sword Health Technologies, Inc. in January 2026), Omada Health, Inc., Sword Health Technologies, Inc., and Vori Health, Inc. These companies, which may offer their solutions at lower prices, are continuing to develop additional products and are becoming more sophisticated and effective. We also currently face competition from health plans and health systems that may offer or develop products or services with features or benefits that overlap with our platform and programs. Large, well-financed healthcare providers and insurance carriers have in some cases developed their own products and services and may provide them to their clients at discounted prices and as supplements to traditional healthcare services. Competition could also result in pricing pressures, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability, and market share.

Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to distinguish our company and our platform and programs from our competitors and their products and services, and includes factors such as:

•long-term outcomes;

•ease of use and convenience;

•price;

•greater name and brand recognition;

•longer operating histories;

•greater market penetration;

•larger and more established client and partner relationships;

•larger sales forces and more established products and networks;

•larger marketing budgets;

•access to significantly greater financial, human, technical, and other resources;

•breadth, depth, and efficacy of products and services;

•perceived, actual, and measurable quality, reliability, and effectiveness of products and services; and

•client and member acceptance.

Some of our competitors or potential competitors may have greater name and brand recognition, longer operating histories, and significantly greater resources than we do, and may be able to offer solutions similar to ours at a more attractive price than we can. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, such as AI and machine learning, standards, or client or eligible life requirements or expectations and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. Any further consolidation in the market may exert downward pressure on prices of our platform and programs and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, our current or potential competitors have established, or may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with providers of complementary products, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their products and services in the marketplaces in which we compete.

New competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger number of clients or contracted lives, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of our markets, which could create additional price pressure. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design, and development of new programs or the expansion of our platform, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. In light of these factors, even if our platform and programs are more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential clients and their contracted lives may accept competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our platform and programs, or potential clients may choose to purchase different health benefits. If we are unable to successfully compete, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The markets for our platform and programs are new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, as the healthcare industry in the U.S. is undergoing significant structural change. If the digital health and MSK markets in which we operate develop more slowly than we expect or if they encounter negative publicity, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The digital health market is relatively new and rapidly evolving, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance, and market adoption. Competition in the digital health market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions, evolving industry standards, short product lifecycles, and changes in consumer demands. Moreover, the MSK market, including MSK care generally and MSK pain management medical devices in particular, is new and rapidly evolving. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of our members and contracted lives to use, and to increase the frequency, extent, and duration of their utilization of, our platform and programs, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of digital health to existing and new clients, members, and contracted lives.

Negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality, data privacy, and cybersecurity in the context of technology-enabled healthcare or concerns experienced by our competitors could limit market acceptance of our programs. Additionally, the integration and reliance on AI and machine learning technologies in our platform and programs introduce further risks. These technologies are rapidly evolving and may not perform as expected, which could lead to inaccuracies or inefficiencies in our platform and programs. Negative publicity or regulatory scrutiny related to AI and machine learning could also impact consumer trust and acceptance. Furthermore, the competitive landscape may shift as new AI and machine learning advancements emerge, potentially rendering our current technologies obsolete or less effective. The occurrence of any of these events may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to the changing healthcare landscape, changing laws, regulations, and government enforcement priorities, changing client needs and member needs, requirements, or preferences, our platform and programs may become less competitive.

The markets in which we compete are subject to a changing healthcare landscape and changing laws, regulations, and government enforcement priorities, as well as changing client and member needs, requirements, and preferences. The success of our business will depend on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes on a timely basis. Our business strategy may not effectively respond to these changes, and we may fail to recognize and position ourselves to capitalize upon market opportunities. We may not have sufficient advance notice or resources to develop and effectively implement an alternative strategy. There may be scientific or clinical changes that require us to change our platform and programs or that make our platform and programs less competitive in the marketplace. If there are sensitivities to our business model or our existing competitors and new entrants create new disruptive business models or develop new products and services that clients, members, and contracted lives prefer to our platform and programs, we may lose clients, members, and contracted lives, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We rely on our sales and marketing force. If we are unable to maintain or expand our sales and marketing infrastructure, it could impede our growth, harm our business, and we may fail to attract adequate numbers of clients or members.

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition are and will continue to be highly dependent on the ability of our sales and marketing force to adequately promote and engage with clients who in turn offer our platform and programs to their contracted lives. If our sales and marketing representatives fail to achieve their objectives, we may not enter into agreements with new clients, and member enrollment and use of our platform and programs could decrease or may not increase at levels that are in line with our forecasts. A key element of our business strategy is the continued expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure to maintain and increase our client base and members. In particular, we expect to increase our enterprise marketing efforts directly to contracted lives at our clients. Our sales and marketing efforts may not be effective and may not lead to increases in the number of our clients and members.

As we increase our sales and marketing efforts with respect to our existing platform and programs or planned expansions of our platform and programs, we will need to further expand the reach of our sales and marketing networks. Our future success will depend largely on our ability to continue to hire, train, retain, and motivate skilled sales and marketing representatives with significant industry-specific knowledge in various areas, such as MSK pain management and digital health, as well as the competitive landscape for our platform and programs. Recently hired sales representatives require training and take time to achieve full productivity. If we fail to train recent hires adequately, or if we experience high turnover in our sales force in the future, we cannot be certain that new hires will become as productive as may be necessary to maintain or increase our sales. In addition, the expansion of our sales and marketing personnel will continue to place significant burdens on our management team.

If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to effectively commercialize our existing platform and programs or planned expansions of our platform and programs, which could result in reduced client engagement and the failure of our member yield to increase in line with our forecasts.

Any failure to offer high-quality implementation, member enrollment, or ongoing support may adversely affect our relationships with our clients and members, or existing or prospective clients and members, and in turn our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Though we prepare targeted marketing campaigns, we do not control our clients’ deployment schedules. As a result, if our clients do not permit and facilitate our marketing efforts, which may be necessary for successful enrollment of their contracted lives as members, or an enrollment launch date is delayed, we could incur significant costs, our member yield may decline, clients and members could become dissatisfied and decide not to use our platform and programs or not to implement our platform or programs in future periods. In addition, competitors with more efficient operating models or lower implementation costs could jeopardize our client relationships as well as our partner relationships.

In implementing and using our platform and programs, our clients and members depend on our support teams to resolve issues in a timely manner. High-quality support is also important for the renewal and expansion of our platform and programs by existing clients as well as enrollment by contracted lives and re-enrollment by current members. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in demand for support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope, and delivery of our platform and programs or support to compete with changes in solutions provided by our competitors. We have also expanded our technical support team internationally and clients and members may view such support as less effective than support based in the U.S. Furthermore, clients are able to decide whether members receive support from an international team, and if we are unable to successfully transition most clients to the more cost-effective international support structure, we may not achieve anticipated savings on support labor costs. Increased client and member demand for support could increase costs and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our sales are highly dependent on our reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing members, clients, and partners. The importance of our support functions will increase as we expand our business and pursue new clients, members, and contracted lives. Any failure to maintain high-quality support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could materially adversely affect our reputation, our ability to sell our platform and programs, our ability to enable members and contracted lives to re-enroll or enroll in our platform and programs, and, in turn, our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We believe our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we fail to maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the capabilities fostered by our culture and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date. We have invested substantial time and resources in building our team and investing in our corporate culture. As we continue to grow, including geographically, and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate culture. We may not be able to effectively integrate, develop, and motivate a large number of new employees across geographies, including our growing employee base in India, and we may not be able to maintain the beneficial aspects of our corporate culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, in order to attract employees that contribute to our corporate culture, we have had to offer, and believe we will need to continue to offer, highly competitive compensation packages before we can validate the productivity of those employees. In addition, fluctuations in the price of our Class A common stock may make it more difficult or costly to use equity compensation to motivate, incentivize, and retain our employees. Our stock price volatility or lack of positive performance may cause periods of time during which option exercise prices might be less than the sale price of our Class A common stock or the value of restricted stock units (“RSUs") we grant might be less competitive, which may lessen the retentive attributes of these awards. As a result, we may have to incur increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy, or find it difficult to motivate, incentivize, and retain our employees.

Moreover, we face significant competition for talent from other healthcare, technology, and high-growth companies, which includes large enterprises and privately held companies. We may not be able to hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs, and any change in our hiring abilities may affect our corporate culture. If we fail to effectively manage our hiring needs and successfully integrate our new hires, our efficiency and our employee morale, productivity, and retention could suffer, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We depend on our executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain other highly skilled employees could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our performance depends upon the efforts and abilities of our executive team, particularly Daniel Perez, our CEO and Co-Founder, certain key technical and management personnel, and other highly skilled employees. The loss of the services of one or more such people could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain other highly skilled employees and key management personnel. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract them. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract or retain such personnel in the future. The loss of even a few qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the planned growth of our business, could harm our results of operations and impair our ability to grow. To attract and retain key personnel, we use various measures, including an equity incentive program for key executive officers and most employees. These measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively.

In April 2024, we announced a restructuring plan to reduce our workforce by approximately 160 people, or approximately 10% of our workforce. This restructuring plan was complete as of December 31, 2024. The expense reduction measures taken in connection with such reduction in force may result in unintended consequences and costs, including costs associated with attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, a decrease in morale among our personnel, adverse impacts in our ability to recruit and hire qualified personnel in the future, and the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, which could result in losses in future periods or otherwise prevent us from realizing, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from the reduction in force.

All of our employees are at-will employees, meaning that they may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. If we fail to retain talented senior management, our executive team, and other key technical and management personnel, or if we do not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We may require additional capital to support the growth of our platform and programs, and this capital may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all, and may dilute existing stockholders’ ownership of our Class A common stock.

We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth of our platform and programs and may require additional funds for such development. We may need additional funding for marketing expenses, to develop and expand sales resources, develop new features, enhance our platform and programs, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies to further grow our business and the platform and programs we can offer, or repurchase outstanding shares of our class A common stock under our share repurchase program. Accordingly, we may need or want to engage in future equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our Class A common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Volatility in capital markets and lower market prices for many securities may, among other things, affect our ability to access new capital on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, our ability to develop our platform and programs, support our business growth, and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with existing clients and members and our ability to attract new clients and members. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments and we anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly critical, difficult, and expensive. Our marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur, and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of our clients and members, could make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new clients and members. Similarly, because our clients and members often act as references for us with prospective new clients, members, and contracted lives, any existing clients or members that question the quality of our work or that of our employees, including our care team, could impair our ability to secure additional new clients, members, and contracted lives. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition with our clients and members, our business may not grow and we could lose these relationships, which would make it more difficult to acquire new clients, members, and contracted lives, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our clients, members and other individuals may also engage with us online through social media pages to provide feedback and public commentary about all aspects of our business and industry. Information concerning us or services, whether accurate or not, may be posted on social media pages at any time and may have a disproportionately adverse impact on our brand, reputation or business. The harm may be immediate without affording us an opportunity to respond and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Acquisitions and investments could result in operating difficulties, dilution, and other harmful consequences that may materially adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have in the past and may in the future make acquisitions to add employees, complementary companies, programs, products, technologies, or revenue. These transactions entail numerous risks and could be material to our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also expect to continue to evaluate and enter into discussions regarding a wide array of potential strategic transactions. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. The process of integrating an acquired company, business or technology has created, and will continue to create, unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Furthermore, an acquisition may not result in the benefits we anticipate.

Future acquisitions could also result in expenditures of significant cash, dilutive issuances of our securities, the assumption or incurrence of debt, restrictions on our business, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. In addition, any acquisitions we announce could be viewed negatively by partners, clients, members, or investors. Moreover, acquisitions or investments could result in costly litigation or liabilities for any breach of representations and warranties made in the course of such acquisitions or investments.

Additionally, competition within our industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies, and assets may become intense. Even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or the target may be acquired by another company. We may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Those negotiations could result in diversion of management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. If we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions successfully, we may not be able to realize the benefits of these acquisitions, and our results of operations could be adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or partnerships with third parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable solutions or the generation of significant future revenue.

In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or technology partnerships to develop proposed programs, to enhance our platform, and to pursue new markets. Proposing, negotiating, and implementing collaborations, in-licensing arrangements, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or partnerships may be a lengthy and complex process. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing, sales, technology, or other business resources, may compete with us for these opportunities or arrangements. We may not identify, secure, or complete any such transactions or arrangements in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. We have limited institutional knowledge and experience with respect to these business development activities, and we may also not realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction or arrangement. Collaborations are also complex and time-consuming to negotiate and document. In particular, these collaborations may not result in the development of solutions that achieve commercial success or result in significant revenue and could be terminated prior to developing any solutions. If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

A decline in the prevalence of employer-sponsored healthcare could cause our revenue to decline.

We currently derive a large portion of our revenue from our agreements with clients that purchase healthcare for their employees, including through insurance or self-funded benefit plans. These clients offer all of or a portion of their employees enrollment in our platform who, in turn, become contracted lives. A large part of the demand for our platform and programs among clients depends on the need of these clients to manage the costs of healthcare services that they pay on behalf of their employees. Various factors, including changes in the healthcare insurance market or in government regulation of the healthcare industry, could cause a decline in employer-sponsored healthcare, which could adversely affect the market for our platform and programs and negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Some experts have predicted that future healthcare reform will encourage employer sponsored health insurance to become significantly less prevalent as employees, including current or potential contracted lives of our clients or potential clients, or current or potential members, migrate to obtaining their own insurance through state sponsored insurance marketplaces. Were this to occur, there is no guarantee that we would be able to compensate for the loss in revenue derived from clients that purchase healthcare for their contracted lives by increasing the acquisition of members by other means and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Use of AI and Machine Learning

Our increasing reliance on AI and machine learning technologies may expose us to significant risks, including development and deployment challenges, regulatory uncertainties, and potential third-party claims, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We use AI and generative AI, machine learning, and automated decision-making technologies, including proprietary AI and machine learning algorithms and models, (collectively, “AI Technologies”) throughout our business, and are making significant investments in this area. For example, we use AI Technologies to support our care team and to assist with developing personalized exercise therapy plans, providing real-time feedback on an exercise form, identifying high-risk members for targeted interventions, and generally enhancing our operational efficiency and competitiveness.

We expect that increased investment will be required in the future to continuously improve our use of AI Technologies. As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining, and deploying these technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of or our investments in such technologies will always enhance our platform and programs or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability.

AI Technologies have been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. In particular, if the models underlying our AI Technologies are: incorrectly designed or implemented; trained or reliant on incomplete, flawed, inadequate, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise poor quality data, or on data to which we do not have sufficient rights or in relation to which we and/or the providers of such data have not implemented sufficient legal compliance measures; used without sufficient oversight and governance to ensure their responsible use; and/or adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats or material performance issues, any of which may not be easily detectable, the performance of our platform and programs, and business, as well as our reputation and the reputations of our clients, could suffer or we could incur liability resulting from the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party or civil claims.

In addition, market acceptance, understanding, and valuation of and consumer perceptions of platforms and programs that incorporate AI Technology is uncertain and the perceived value of our AI Technologies could be inaccurate. For example, inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion of AI Technologies, could impair the acceptance of such AI Technologies, including those incorporated in our platform and programs. Our failure to successfully develop AI Technologies in our platform could depress the market price of our stock and impair our ability to: raise capital; expand our business; provide, improve, and diversify our platform and programs; continue our operations and efficiently manage our operating expenses; and respond effectively to competitive developments.

In addition to our proprietary AI Technologies, we use AI Technologies licensed from third parties in our platform and programs and our ability to continue to use such technologies at the scale we need may be dependent on access to specific third-party software and infrastructure. We cannot control the availability or pricing of such third-party AI Technologies, especially in a highly competitive environment, and we may be unable to negotiate favorable economic terms with the applicable providers. If any such third-party AI Technologies become incompatible with our platform and programs or unavailable for use, or if the providers of such models unfavorably change the terms on which their AI Technologies are offered or terminate their relationship with us, our platform and programs may become less appealing to our clients and our business will be harmed. In addition, to the extent any third-party AI Technologies are used as a hosted service, any disruption, outage, or loss of information through such hosted services could disrupt our operations or solutions, damage our reputation, cause a loss of confidence in our platform and programs, or result in legal claims or proceedings, for which we may be unable to recover damages from the affected provider.

Moreover, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations, in particular where the AI Technologies are used or relied on in delivering healthcare services. Additionally, existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would affect the operation of our AI Technologies. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or market perception of their requirements may have on our business and may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations.

Already, certain existing legal regimes, such as various U.S. and state governmental and regulatory agencies relating to data privacy and medical and physical therapy practice, regulate certain aspects of AI Technologies, and various U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions are applying, or are considering applying, their platform moderation, cybersecurity, and data protection laws to AI Technologies or are considering general legal frameworks for the regulation of AI Technologies. In the U.S., the Trump administration has rescinded an executive order relating to the safe and secure development and deployment of AI Technologies that was previously implemented by the Biden administration. The Trump administration then issued a new executive order that, among other things, requires certain agencies to develop and submit to the President action plans to “sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance,” and to specifically review rulemaking taken pursuant to the rescinded Biden executive order and, if possible, rescind any such rulemaking to the extent it is consistent with, or presents a barrier to, the Trump administration’s new executive order. Thus, the Trump administration may continue to rescind other existing federal orders and/or administrative policies relating to AI Technologies, or may implement new executive orders and/or other rule making relating to AI Technologies in the future. Any such changes at the federal level could require us to expend significant resources to modify our products, services, or operations to ensure compliance or remain competitive. Legislation related to AI Technologies has also been introduced at the federal level and is advancing at the state level. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency recently finalized regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) regarding the use of automated decision-making technology which became effective on January 1, 2026 and requires businesses using automated decision-making technology to comply with certain notice, opt-out and access request requirements by January 1, 2027. California also enacted several new laws in 2024 and 2025 that further regulate use of AI Technologies and provide consumers and patients with additional protections around companies’ use of AI Technologies, such as requiring companies to disclose certain uses of generative AI or prohibiting AI systems from using professional terminology, interface elements or branding that suggest or imply medical authority or licensed professional involvement when no such oversight exits. Other states have also passed AI-focused legislation, such as Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act, which will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination, Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, which establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interactions, and the recent Texas Responsible Artificial Governance Act (“TRAIGA”), which requires disclosures to patients when AI systems are used by healthcare providers to support diagnosis or treatment planning and permits such AI use only where healthcare providers review all AI-generated records to ensure the data is accurate and properly managed. Such additional regulations may impact our ability to develop and use AI Technologies in the future.

In the EU, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (the “EU AI Act”), which establishes broad obligations for the development and use of AI Technologies in the EU based on their potential risks and level of impact, came into force in August 2024. The EU AI Act includes requirements around transparency, conformity assessments and monitoring, risk assessments, human oversight, security, accuracy, general purpose AI, and foundation models, and provides for fines of up to the greater of €35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for violations.

It is possible that further new laws and regulations will be adopted in the U.S. and in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, or that existing laws and regulations, including competition and antitrust as well as scope of practice laws, may be interpreted in ways that would limit our ability to use AI Technologies for our business, or require us to change the way we use AI Technologies in a manner that negatively affects the performance of our platform, programs, and business and the way in which we use AI Technologies. We may not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we may need to expend resources to adjust our platform and programs in certain jurisdictions if the laws, regulations, or decisions are not consistent across jurisdictions. Further, because AI Technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. The cost to comply with such laws, regulations, or decisions and/or guidance interpreting existing laws, could be significant and would increase our operating expenses (such as by imposing additional reporting obligations regarding our use of AI Technologies or limiting our use of AI Technologies to support our care team). Such an increase in operating expenses, as well as any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property, Data Privacy, Information Technology, Cybersecurity

We may be unable to establish, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights or prevent third parties from making unauthorized use of our technology, or we may in the future become subject to claims of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of third parties’ intellectual property rights.

Our business depends on a combination of intellectual property and other proprietary rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, as well as license agreements, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with our employees, affiliates, clients, strategic partners, and others. Our success and ability to compete may depend in part on our ability to maintain and enforce existing intellectual property rights and to obtain, maintain, and enforce further intellectual property protection for our platform and programs, both in the U.S. and in other countries. The protective steps we have taken and plan to take may be inadequate to deter infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of our intellectual property rights. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Effective intellectual property rights protections may not be available to us or available in every jurisdiction in which we offer or intend to offer our platform and programs. Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect, or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content, and affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, defending our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our most material trademark asset is the U.S. registered trademark “Hinge Health.” Our trademarks, trade names, and brand names are valuable assets that support our brand and perception of our platform and programs and distinguish our platform and programs from those of our competitors. We have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. However, there can be no assurance that our trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications or otherwise challenge our use of such trademarks, and our trademarks may be circumvented or declared generic. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not infringe our trademarks or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks. Third parties may file for registration of trademarks similar or identical to our trademarks, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. Moreover, third parties may file first for our trademarks in certain countries. If they succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks, and if we are not successful in challenging such third-party rights, we may not be able to use these trademarks to develop brand recognition in those jurisdictions. We also hold the rights to the “hingehealth.com” internet domain name, which is subject to regulation by internet regulatory bodies and trademark and other related laws of each applicable jurisdiction. If we are unable to protect our trademarks or internet domain names in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions in which we currently and may ultimately operate, our brand recognition and reputation would suffer, we would incur significant re-branding expenses and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned 21 issued patents and 45 pending patent applications in the U.S. as well as 20 pending PCT applications, 26 foreign issued patents and 54 pending foreign patent applications. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 12 issued patents and 34 pending patent applications in the U.S. as well as 17 pending PCT applications, 17 foreign issued patents and 59 pending foreign patent applications. Our patents issued in the U.S. begin expiring in July 2033, excluding any patent term adjustment. The patent positions of technology and virtual care companies, including our patent position, may involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the scope, validity, and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Our issued patents and those that may be issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages, may be of limited territorial reach, and may be held invalid or unenforceable if successfully challenged by third parties, and our patent applications may never be issued. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property or survive a legal challenge, as the legal standards relating to the inventorship, validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are uncertain. Our limited patent protection may restrict our ability to protect our technologies and processes from competition. It is also possible that third parties, including our competitors, may have or obtain patents relating to technologies that overlap or compete with our platform and programs. If third parties obtain patent protection with respect to such technologies, they may assert that our technology infringes their patents and seek to charge us a licensing fee or otherwise preclude the use of our technology.

We could incur substantial costs as a result of any claim of infringement, misappropriation or violation of another party’s intellectual property rights. If we infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties or are subject to an intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claim, our ability to grow our business may be severely limited, and our business could be adversely affected.

Companies, organizations, or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to develop or enhance our platform and programs, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. We have received and may in the future receive communications from holders of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating such rights. Such parties may in the future bring suits against us alleging infringement or other violation of such rights, or otherwise assert their rights and urge us to take licenses to their intellectual property. If a patent infringement or other intellectual property-related lawsuit is brought against us, we could be forced to stop or delay sales of the program that is the subject of the suit or cease use of our technology altogether. As the market for digital health solutions in the U.S. expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that there may be patents issued to third parties that relate to our platform and programs of which we are not aware or that we must challenge to continue our operations as currently contemplated. Litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims, regardless of merit, may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

Patent and other types of intellectual property litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions, and their outcome is uncertain. We cannot be certain or guarantee that we do not infringe existing patents or that we will not infringe patents that may be granted in the future. Third parties that may own or control such patents and patent applications may bring claims against us that would cause us to incur substantial expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could cause us to pay substantial damages.

Further, if we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may also be required to do one or more of the following:

•seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;

•pay substantial royalty or license fees or other monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent or other intellectual property right;

•redesign or reengineer our platform and programs, or other technology in a non-infringing manner, which may be costly, time-consuming, commercially infeasible, or impossible; or

•establish and maintain alternative branding for our platform and programs.

Even if we were able to obtain a license to intellectual property owned by third parties, any such rights may be non-exclusive, which could result in our competitors gaining access to the same intellectual property. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license (whether exclusive or non-exclusive) to the infringed technology or other intellectual property right, we could be forced to cease aspects of our business operations and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

We could incur substantial costs in protecting, defending, or enforcing our intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Failure to adequately protect, defend, or enforce our rights could impair our competitive position and we could lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenue, and incur costly and time-consuming litigation.

Third parties, including our competitors, could be infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights. In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights, which may be difficult and costly. The steps we have taken or will take to detect unauthorized use and prevent infringement, misappropriation or other violation of our intellectual property or proprietary rights may not be successful.

From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to protect or enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights, which could result in substantial costs, distraction to management and diversion of our resources. Such litigation could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property or proprietary rights. Enforcement of our intellectual property or proprietary rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of such intellectual property or proprietary rights. An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put our intellectual property or proprietary rights at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could risk the issuance or cancellation of pending patent and trademark filings, and could harm our business. Further, intellectual property law, including statutory and case law, particularly in the U.S., is constantly developing. Changes in the law could make it harder for us to enforce our rights.

In any lawsuit that we bring to enforce our intellectual property or proprietary rights, a court may refuse to prevent the other party from using the technology at issue on grounds that our intellectual property rights do not cover the technology in question. If we initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering a program, the defendant could counterclaim that such patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the U.S., defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness, or non-enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or made a misleading statement during prosecution. Third parties also may raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Mechanisms for such challenges include re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, such as opposition proceedings. Such proceedings could result in the revocation of, cancellation of, or amendment to our patents in such a way that they no longer cover our programs, or any future programs that we may develop.

The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on our programs. Such a loss of patent protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Even if we ultimately prevail, a court may decide not to grant an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may not be an adequate remedy. Furthermore, the monetary cost of such litigation and the diversion of the attention of our management could outweigh any benefit we receive as a result of the proceedings. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Because of the substantial discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in litigation. Litigation could result in public disclosure of results of hearings, motions, or other interim developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Class A common stock.

In addition, our inability to detect and protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales of our platform, impair the functionality of our platform, delay introductions of new functionality to our platform, result in the substitution of inferior or more costly technologies into our platform and programs, or harm our reputation. Policing unauthorized use of our technologies, trade secrets, and intellectual property may be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S. and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. If we fail to meaningfully protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If our patents expire or are not maintained, our patent applications are not granted, or our patent rights are contested, circumvented, invalidated, or limited in scope, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from selling, developing, or exploiting platforms or programs similar to ours.

We cannot be certain that we are the first inventor of the subject matter to which we have filed a particular patent application or that we are the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has filed a patent application for the same subject matter as we have, we may not be entitled to the protection sought by the patent application. Further, the scope of protection of issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will issue or that our issued patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, our competitors may design around our issued patents, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our patents may expire if they are not maintained, our patent applications may not be granted, or our patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated, or limited in scope. Any expiration or invalidation of our patents may cause us to not be able to prevent others from selling, developing, or exploiting competing technologies, platforms, programs, or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other government fees on patents and/or applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and various government patent agencies outside of the U.S. over the lifetime of our owned or licensed patents and patent applications. We rely on our outside counsel or our licensing partners to pay these fees due to U.S. and non-U.S. patent agencies. The USPTO and various non-U.S. government patent agencies require compliance with several procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. We also depend on our licensors whose intellectual property we license to take the necessary action to comply with these requirements with respect to such in-licensed intellectual property. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. There are situations, however, in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, potential competitors might be able to enter the market and this circumstance could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We cannot guarantee that our pending patent applications will issue as patents. Even if our patent applications issue into patents, these patents may be contested, narrowed, circumvented, held unenforceable, or invalidated in the future. Such proceedings could include supplemental examination or contested post-grant proceedings such as review, reexamination, interference, or derivation proceedings challenging our patent rights. In addition, the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with adequate protection or competitive advantages. The claims under any patents that issue from our patent applications may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to ours. The intellectual property rights of others could also bar us from licensing and exploiting any patents that issue from our pending applications. Numerous patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and are developing our technology. Many of these existing patents and patent applications may have priority over our patent applications and could subject our patents to invalidation or our patent applications to rejection. Finally, in addition to patents and patent applications that were filed before our patents and patent applications, any of our existing or future patents may also be challenged by others on the basis that they are invalid or unenforceable. Any expiration, invalidation, or devaluation of our patents may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The confidentiality and invention assignment agreements that we enter into with our employees, consultants, and contractors involved in the development of intellectual property may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other confidential information, and if we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets or other confidential information, the value of our platform and programs and our business and competitive position could be materially adversely affected.

We rely heavily on trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to protect our unpatented know-how, technology, and other proprietary information, including our platform and programs, and to maintain our competitive position. With respect to our platform and programs, we consider trade secrets and know-how to be one of our primary sources of intellectual property. Trade secrets and know-how, however, can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect these trade secrets and other confidential information in part by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees, outside contractors, advisors, and other third parties. We also enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, contractors, consultants, and other third parties who develop intellectual property on our behalf or who may have access to our proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets. These confidentiality agreements are designed to protect our proprietary information and, in the case of agreements or clauses containing invention assignment, to grant us ownership of technologies that are developed through a relationship with employees or third parties. These agreements, however, may not be self-executing and may not provide meaningful protection against the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or other confidential information, and adequate remedies may not exist if unauthorized use or disclosure were to occur, or we may not have executed, or may in the future fail to execute, invention assignment agreements with employees, contractors, consultants, and third parties who may be involved in the development of our intellectual property. Furthermore, individuals executing agreements with us may have preexisting or competing obligations to third parties, and thus an agreement with us may be ineffective in perfecting ownership of intellectual property developed by those individuals. The exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In particular, a failure to protect our confidential information may allow competitors to copy our technology, which could adversely affect our pricing and market share. Further, other parties may independently develop substantially equivalent know-how and technology.

In addition to contractual measures, we seek to protect the confidential nature of our proprietary information using commonly accepted physical and technological security measures. Such measures may not, for example, in the case of misappropriation of a trade secret by an employee, consultant, or other third party with authorized access, provide adequate protection for our proprietary information. Our security measures may not prevent an employee, consultant, contractor, or other third party from misappropriating our trade secrets and providing them to a competitor, and the recourse we take against such misconduct may not provide an adequate remedy to protect our interests fully. Monitoring unauthorized uses and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property, trade secrets or confidential information will be effective. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to copy or reverse engineer certain aspects of our platform and programs that we consider proprietary. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Although we use commonly accepted security measures, trade secret violations are often a matter of state law, and the criteria for protection of trade secrets can vary among different jurisdictions. In addition, trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by others, including our competitors, in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us.

We are, and may in the future become, subject to claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of our employees’ former employers.

Many of our employees were previously employed by our competitors or other companies with similar or related technology, products, or services. We are, and may in the future become, subject to claims that we or these employees have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending such claims, we may be forced to pay monetary damages or be enjoined from using certain technology, aspects of our platforms, aspects of our programs, or knowledge. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and demand on management resources. See the risk factors titled “—We may be unable to establish, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights or prevent third parties from making unauthorized use of our technology, or we may in the future become subject to claims of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of third parties’ intellectual property rights. Our failure to protect our intellectual property and any potential intellectual property infringement claims could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content, and affect our ability to compete effectively” and “—We could incur substantial costs in protecting, defending, or enforcing our intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Failure to adequately protect, defend or enforce

our rights could impair our competitive position and we could lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenue, and incur costly and time-consuming litigation.”

Defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our platform and programs could harm our reputation and brand and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Software such as the one used in our platform and programs often contains errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs that are difficult to detect and correct, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Despite internal testing, our platform may contain serious errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs that we may be unable to successfully correct in a timely manner or at all, which could result in lost revenue, significant expenditures of capital, a delay or loss in market acceptance and damage to our reputation and brand, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, our platform and programs are on a cloud-based system that allows us to deploy new versions and enhancements to all of our members simultaneously. To the extent we deploy new versions or enhancements that contain errors, defects, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs to all of our members simultaneously, the consequences would be more severe than if such versions or enhancements were only deployed to a smaller number of members.

Since our members use our platform and programs for medical, health, and well-being purposes, any errors, defects, failures, security vulnerabilities, software bugs, or disruptions to our platform and programs, or any other performance problems with our platform and programs, could result in serious harm to our members and, in turn, hurt our brand and reputation and erode member and client trust. We make regular updates to our platform and programs, which have in the past contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors, defects, failures, security vulnerabilities, and software bugs when first introduced or released. Real or perceived errors, defects, failures, security vulnerabilities, or software bugs in our platform and programs could result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of our platform and programs, loss of competitive position, lower client and member retention rates or negative publicity (for example, a member could share information about a negative experience on social media, which could result in damage to our reputation and loss of future sales and acquisition of new clients and members). In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for client relations, member relations, or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to seek to correct the problem. Our members may also seek significant compensation from us for any losses they suffer or cease using our platform and programs, or our clients could cease conducting business with us. There can be no assurance that provisions typically included in our agreements with our clients that attempt to limit our exposure to claims would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. Even if not successful, a claim brought against us by any of our members or clients would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand, making it harder for us to sell our platform and programs and to enroll and retain members. In addition, we may not carry insurance sufficient to compensate us for any losses that may result from claims arising from defects or disruptions in our platform and programs. As a result, our reputation and our brand could be harmed, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our proprietary technology and solutions may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us, or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Proprietary software and hardware development is time-consuming, expensive, and complex and may involve unforeseen difficulties. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we discover additional problems or design defects that prevent our proprietary platform and programs, including our app and our Enso device, from operating properly. If our platform and programs, including our app and our Enso device, do not function reliably, malfunction, or fail to achieve member expectations in terms of performance, clients and members could assert liability claims against us or our clients could cancel their contracts with us. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or retain clients and members.

The software underlying our platform and programs is highly complex and may contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may only be discovered after the software has been used by our members. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or other vulnerabilities discovered in our software, platform and programs could result in negative publicity and damage to our reputation, loss of clients, loss of members, loss of contracted lives, loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our platform and programs, loss of competitive position, loss of revenue or liability for damages, overpayments, and/or underpayments, any of which could harm our member yield. Similarly, any real or perceived errors, failures, design flaws, or defects in our Enso device or in the platform and programs we offer, including our app, could have similar negative results. In such an event, we may be required or may choose to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem. Such efforts could be costly, or ultimately unsuccessful. Even if we are successful at remediating issues, we may experience damage to our reputation and brand. There can be no assurance that provisions typically included in our agreements with clients or in agreements with members that attempt to limit our exposure to claims would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. Even if unsuccessful, a claim brought against us by any clients or members would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand.

We depend on our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants, and any failure or significant disruptions of these systems, security breaches, or loss of data could expose us to liability or materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We collect and maintain information in digital form that is necessary to conduct our business, and we are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure (“IT Systems”) to operate our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, and transmit large amounts of confidential information, including but not limited to intellectual property, proprietary business information, protected health information, and personal information about our clients, members, contracted lives, partners, employees, consultants, or contractors. It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of such confidential information. We have established physical, electronic, and organizational measures to safeguard and secure our systems to prevent a data compromise, and rely on commercially available and internal systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for our IT Systems and the processing, transmission, storage and other processing of digital information. We have also outsourced elements of our IT Systems and data storage systems, and as a result a number of third-party vendors, contractors and consultants may or could have access to our confidential information. We cannot conduct audits or formal evaluations of all aspects of all of our third-party vendors’, contractors’, and consultants’ IT Systems, and even where we do conduct audits or evaluations, we cannot be sure that our audits or evaluations will be comprehensive or that such third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants have sufficient measures in place to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their IT Systems and confidential information.

Despite the implementation of preventative and detective security controls, such IT Systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures or interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, malicious human acts, terrorism, and war. Such IT Systems, including our servers, are additionally vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, third-party service providers, contractors, consultants, business partners, and/or other third parties, or from cyberattacks by malicious third parties (including the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state-supported actors and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information). As we continue to embrace both hybrid and remote working, we may face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. The risk of a security breach or disruption has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We may not be able to anticipate all types of security threats, and we may not be able to implement preventive measures effective against all such security threats. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched, and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including outside groups such as external service providers, organized crime affiliates, terrorist organizations, or hostile foreign governments or agencies. In addition, the prevalent use of mobile devices that access confidential information increases the risk of data security breaches, which could lead to the loss of confidential information or other intellectual property.

We can provide no assurance that our current IT Systems, or those of the third parties upon which we rely, are fully protected against cybersecurity threats. It is possible that we or our third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants may experience cybersecurity and other breach incidents that remain undetected for an extended period. We and certain of our service providers from time to time are subject to cyberattacks and security incidents. Even when a security incident is detected, the full extent of the breach may not be determined immediately. The costs to us to mitigate network security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs, and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and while we have implemented security measures to protect our data security and IT Systems, our efforts to address these problems may not be successful, and these problems could result in unexpected interruptions, delays, cessation of service, and other harm to our business and our competitive position. While we do not believe that we have experienced any significant system failure, accident, or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our offerings to clients and members. Moreover, we and our third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants collect, store, and transmit sensitive data, including health-related information, personally identifiable information, intellectual property, and proprietary business information in the ordinary course of our business. If a computer security breach affects our systems or results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information, our reputation could be materially damaged. In addition, such breaches may in the future require notification to governmental agencies, the media, or individuals pursuant to various federal and state privacy and security laws, if applicable, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “HIPAA”) as well as regulations promulgated by the FTC and state breach notification laws. We would also be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and potential liability, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We and certain of our third-party vendors are from time to time subject to cyberattacks and security incidents. While we do not believe that we have experienced any significant system failure, accident or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in unauthorized access to confidential and proprietary business information, intellectual property, sensitive client and member data (including health-related information such as protected health information), or other personally identifiable information of our members, clients, employees, partners, or contractors, loss or misappropriation of or damage to our data, or an inability to access data sources and critical information, process data, or provide our platform and programs. Such failures or breaches of our or our third-party vendors’ security measures, or our or our third-party vendors’ inability to effectively resolve such failures or breaches in a timely manner, could severely damage our reputation, adversely impact member, client, or investor confidence in us, and reduce the demand for our platform and programs. In addition, we could face litigation, significant damages for contract breach or other breaches of law, significant monetary penalties, or regulatory actions for violation of applicable laws or regulations, and we could incur significant costs for remedial measures to prevent future occurrences and mitigate past violations. The costs related to significant security breaches or disruptions could be material and exceed the limits of the cybersecurity insurance we maintain against such risks. If the IT Systems of our third-party vendors, contractors, or consultants become subject to disruptions or security breaches, we may have insufficient recourse against such third parties and we may have to expend significant resources to mitigate the impact of such an event, and to develop and implement protections to prevent future events of this nature from occurring. Any disruption or loss to IT Systems on which critical aspects of our operations depend could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy, and security, advertising, and consumer protection laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and we are or may become subject to numerous state, federal, and foreign laws, requirements, and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and security of personal information. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that varies from one jurisdiction to another and/or may conflict with other laws, regulations, and regulatory interpretations. As such, our practices may not have complied or may not comply in the future with all such laws, regulations, requirements, and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us or any of our third-party partners, data centers, or service providers to comply with privacy policies or federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, regulatory interpretations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject, or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, and business, and may result in claims, proceedings, or actions against us by governmental entities, clients, members, suppliers, or others. These proceedings may result in financial liabilities or may require us to change our operations, including ceasing the use or sharing of certain data sets, or modifying marketing and other engagement programs and plans. Any such claims, proceedings or actions could hurt our reputation, brand, and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings or actions, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of clients, members, contracted lives, partners, and others and result in the imposition of monetary penalties. We are also contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless certain third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any laws, regulations, regulatory interpretations, or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure of data that we store or handle as part of operating our business.

We rely on a variety of marketing techniques, including email, text message, social media marketing, and postal mailings, and we are subject to various laws, regulations, and regulatory interpretations that govern such marketing and advertising practices. A variety of federal and state laws, regulations, and regulatory interpretations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing, and security of consumer data, particularly in the context of online advertising, which we rely upon to attract new clients, members, and contracted lives. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party cross-site behavioral advertising technologies and other methods of online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes. Various U.S. federal and state laws regulate the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cross-site behavioral advertising technologies or other electronic tracking tools or the use of data gathered with such tools. The regulation of the use of these cross-site behavioral advertising technologies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our ability to make effective use of services that employ such technologies could increase our costs of operations and limit our ability to acquire new clients, members, and contracted lives on cost-effective terms and consequently, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Further, parts of our business are subject to HIPAA. HIPAA limits the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information, or protected health information, and imposes privacy, security, and breach notification obligations on certain healthcare providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses, known as covered entities, as well as their business associates that perform certain services that involve creating, receiving, maintaining, or transmitting individually identifiable health information for or on behalf of such covered entities, and their covered subcontractors. It also mandates the reporting of certain breaches of health information to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”), affected individuals and if the breach is large enough, the media. The HHS has the discretion to impose penalties without attempting to first resolve violations. HHS enforcement activity can result in financial liability and reputational harm, and responses to such enforcement activity can consume significant internal resources. We have experienced such breaches in the past and could be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and potential liability, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Certain states have also adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, which govern the privacy, processing, and protection of health-related and other personal information. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future clients and strategic partners. For example, the CCPA, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), requires covered businesses that process the personal information of California residents to, among other things, (i) make certain disclosures to California consumers about the business’s data collection, use, and sharing practices; (ii) receive and respond to requests from California residents to access, delete, and correct their personal information, or to opt out of certain disclosures of their personal information; and (iii) enter into specific contractual provisions with service providers that process California resident personal information on the business’s behalf.

Additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. Similar laws have been passed in other states and are continuing to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the U.S. The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging.

We also expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions. Such laws may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts. For example, Washington State enacted a broadly applicable law to protect the privacy of personal health information known as the “My Health My Data Act,” which generally requires affirmative consent for the collection, use, or sharing of any “consumer health data.” Consumer health data is defined to include personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies a consumer’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status; consumer health data also includes information that is derived or extrapolated from non-health information, such as algorithms and machine learning.

Additionally, the interpretations of existing federal and state consumer protection laws relating to online collection, use, dissemination, and security of health related and other personal information adopted by the FTC, states Attorneys General, private plaintiffs, and courts have evolved, and may continue to evolve, over time. Consumer protection and certain state data privacy laws like the CCPA and CPRA require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal information and choices individuals may have about the way we handle or provide access to their personal information. If such information that we publish is considered untrue, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce and thus violate Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (the “FTC Act”). It may also violate one or more FTC-enforced rules. The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities. Individually identifiable health information is considered sensitive data that merits stronger safeguards. The FTC’s current guidance for appropriately securing consumers’ personal information is similar to what is required by the HIPAA security regulations, but this guidance may change in the future, resulting in increased complexity and the need to expend additional resources to ensure we are complying with the FTC Act. For information that is not subject to HIPAA and deemed to be “personal health records,” the FTC may also impose penalties for violations of the Health Breach Notification Rule (“HBNR”) to the extent we are considered a “personal health record-related entity” or “third-party service provider.” The FTC has taken several enforcement actions under HBNR recently and indicated that the FTC will continue to protect consumer privacy through greater use of the agency’s enforcement authorities. As a result, our operations may be subject to greater scrutiny by federal and state regulators, partners, and consumers with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of health information. Additionally, federal and state consumer protection laws are increasingly being applied by FTC and states Attorneys General to regulate the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal or personally identifiable information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of website content.

We are also or may become subject to rapidly evolving data protection laws, rules, and regulations in foreign jurisdictions. For example, in Europe, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) imposes strict requirements for processing the personal data of individuals within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or in the context of our activities within the EEA. Companies that must comply with the GDPR face increased compliance obligations and risk, including more robust regulatory enforcement of data protection requirements and potential fines for non-compliance of up to €20 million or 4% of the annual global revenues of the non-compliant company, whichever is greater. In addition to fines, a breach of the GDPR may result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease, changes to our data processing activities, enforcement notices, assessment notices (for a compulsory audit) and/or civil claims (including class actions). The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR.

Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates transfers of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the U.S., and the efficacy and longevity of current transfer mechanisms between the EEA, and the U.S. remains uncertain. Case law from the Court of Justice of the EU (“CJEU”) states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses—a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism—alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), rendering the DPF effective as a GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expect the DPF Adequacy Decision to be challenged and international transfers to the U.S. and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators. As a result, we may have to make certain operational changes and we will have to implement revised standard contractual clauses and other relevant documentation for existing data transfers within required time frames. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the SCCs cannot be used, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our platform and programs, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results.

Since the beginning of 2021, after the end of the transition period following the departure of the UK from the EU, we are also subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the “UK GDPR”), which imposes separate but similar obligations to those under the GDPR and comparable penalties, including fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of a non-compliant company’s global annual revenue for the preceding financial year, whichever is greater, as well as other potentially divergent enforcement actions for certain violations. On October 12, 2023, the UK Extension to the DPF came into effect (as approved by the UK Government), as a data transfer mechanism from the UK to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. As we continue to expand into foreign countries and jurisdictions, we may be subject to additional laws and regulations that may affect how we conduct business.

The GDPR also provides that EEA member states and the UK may make their own further laws and regulations to introduce specific requirements in certain areas, including related to the processing of special categories of personal data, including personal data related to health data. This fact may lead to greater divergence on the law that applies to the processing of personal data across the EEA and UK, compliance with which, as and where applicable, may increase our costs and could increase our overall compliance risk.

Moreover, in Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and various provincial laws require that companies give detailed privacy notices to consumers, obtain consent to use personal information, with limited exceptions, allow individuals to access and correct their personal information, and report certain data breaches. In addition, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”) prohibits email marketing without the recipient’s consent, with limited exceptions. Failure to comply with PIPEDA, CASL, or provincial privacy or data protection laws could result in significant fines and penalties or possible damage awards.

Failure or perceived failure to comply with HIPAA, the CCPA, GDPR, the UK GDPR, and other U.S. or foreign privacy or data security-related laws, rules or regulations could result in significant regulatory penalties and fines, affect our compliance with contracts entered into with our partners, collaborators and other third-party payors, and could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition.

Further, as a result of regulatory enforcement proceedings and inquiries, there may be settlements, enforcement actions, or related litigation that could include monetary penalties and/or compliance requirements that may impose significant and material costs, require us to make modifications to our data practices and our marketing programs, result in negative publicity, or have a negative impact on consumer demand for our platform and programs, or on our commercial or industry relationships. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Although we work to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and standards, our contractual obligations, and other legal obligations, these requirements are evolving and may be modified, interpreted, and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another or other legal obligations with which we must comply. Any failure or perceived failure by us or our employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, collaborators, or other third parties to comply with such requirements or adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If we fail to comply with applicable data interoperability and information blocking rules, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The 21st Century Cures Act (the “Cures Act”), which was passed and signed into law in December 2016, includes provisions related to data interoperability, information blocking and patient access. In March 2020, the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (“ONC”), and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) finalized and issued complementary rules that are intended to clarify provisions of the Cures Act regarding interoperability and information blocking, and include, among other things, requirements surrounding information blocking, changes to ONC’s health IT certification program and requirements that CMS regulated payors make relevant claims/care data and provider directory information available through standardized patient access and provider directory application programming interfaces that connect to provider EHR systems. The companion rules transform the way in which healthcare providers, health IT developers, health information exchanges/health information networks (“HIEs/HINs”), and health plans share patient information, and create significant new requirements for healthcare industry participants. For example, the ONC rule, which went into effect on April 5, 2021, prohibits healthcare providers, health IT developers of certified health IT, and HIEs/HINs from engaging in practices that are likely to interfere with, prevent, materially discourage, or otherwise inhibit the access, exchange or use of electronic health information (“EHI”), also known as “information blocking.” To further support access and exchange of EHI, the ONC rule identifies eight “reasonable and necessary activities” as exceptions to information blocking activities, as long as specific conditions are met. Any failure to comply with these rules could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we fail to comply with our obligations under license or technology agreements with third parties, we may be required to pay damages and we could lose license rights that are critical to our business.

We license certain intellectual property, including technologies and software from third parties, which is important to our business, and in the future, we may enter into additional agreements that provide us with licenses to valuable intellectual property or technology. Disputes may arise between us and our licensors regarding the intellectual property licensed to us under any license agreement, including disputes related to:

•the scope of rights granted under the license agreement and other interpretation-related issues;

•our compliance with reporting, financial, or other obligations under the license agreement;

•the amounts of royalties or other payments due under the license agreement;

•whether and the extent to which we infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate intellectual property rights of the licensor that are not subject to the license agreement;

•our right to sublicense applicable rights to third parties;

•our right to transfer or assign the license; and

•the ownership of intellectual property and know-how resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by our licensors and us and our partners.

If we do not prevail in such disputes or if we fail to comply with any of the obligations under our license agreements, we may lose any or all of our rights under such license agreements or be required to pay damages, and the licensor may have the right to terminate the license. Termination by the licensor would cause us to lose valuable rights and could prevent us from selling our platform and programs, or adversely impact our ability to commercialize future platforms and programs. Our business would suffer if any current or future licenses terminate, if the licensors fail to abide by the terms of the license, if the licensors fail to enforce licensed patents against infringing third parties, if the licensed intellectual property is found to be invalid or unenforceable, or if we are unable to enter into necessary licenses on acceptable terms.

In addition, our rights to certain technologies are licensed to us on a non-exclusive basis. The owners of these non-exclusively licensed technologies are therefore free to license them to third parties, including our competitors, on terms that may be superior to those offered to us, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the agreements under which we license intellectual property or technology from third parties are generally complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology or increase what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement. Any of the foregoing could harm our competitive position, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We rely on third-party and open-source software for our platform and programs. Our inability to obtain third-party licenses for such software, or obtain them on favorable terms, or any errors, bugs, defects, or failures caused by such software could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We use open-source software in connection with our software platform and anticipate using open-source software in the future. The terms of certain open-source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that open-source software licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our platform, including requiring us to disclose or license some or all of our proprietary source code to the public or distribute our software platform that uses particular open-source software at no cost to the user. While we monitor our use of open-source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose or license our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source agreement, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful and such a use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred, in part because open-source license terms can be ambiguous.

Additionally, we could face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding the release of, any open-source software or derivative works that we have developed using such software, which could include proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open-source license. These claims could result in litigation and could require us to make our software source code freely available, purchase a costly license, or cease offering our platform unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement. This re-engineering process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the re-engineering process successfully. In addition to risks related to license requirements, use of certain open-source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, or other contractual protection regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. There is little legal precedent in this area, and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop technology that is similar to or superior to ours.

Our platform includes software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties. It may be necessary in the future to renew licenses relating to various aspects of these applications or to seek new licenses for existing or new applications. Necessary licenses may not be available on acceptable terms or under open-source licenses permitting redistribution in commercial offerings, if at all. Our inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms could result in delays in platform and program releases until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed, or developed, if at all, and integrated into our platform and services, which therefore may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, third parties may allege that additional licenses are required for our use of their software or intellectual property. We may be unable to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The inclusion in our platform and programs of software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties on a non-exclusive basis could limit our ability to differentiate our platform and programs from those of our competitors. To the extent that our platform and programs depend upon the successful operation of third-party software, any undetected errors, bugs, defects, or failures in such third-party software could impair the functionality of our platform and programs and delay new feature introductions, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We rely on internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, third-party computer hardware and software, and other third parties for providing services to our clients and members, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties could expose us to litigation and negatively impact our relationships with clients and members, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our ability to deliver our digital platform and programs depends on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the internet by third parties. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, bandwidth capacity, and security. Our platform and programs are designed to operate without interruption, and in some cases, we provide certain uptime guarantees to our clients and members. However, we have experienced in the past and may experience future interruptions and delays on our website and app and the availability of our platform and programs from time to time. In the event of a catastrophic event with respect to one or more of our systems, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our relationship with clients and members and could result in potential liabilities or claims with respect to any uptime guarantees we have made to clients and members. To operate without interruption, both we and our service providers must guard against:

•damage from fire, power loss, natural disasters, and other force majeure events outside our control;

•communications failures;

•software and hardware errors, failures, and crashes;

•security breaches, computer viruses, hacking, denial-of-service attacks, and similar disruptive problems; and

•other potential interruptions.

We also rely on software licensed from third parties in order to offer our platform and programs. These licenses are generally commercially available on varying terms. However, it is possible that this software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this software could result in delays in the provisioning of our platform and programs until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated. Furthermore, our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties, and integration of our software with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, any undetected errors or defects in third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our software, delay new updates or enhancements to our platform and programs, result in a failure of our platform and programs, and materially adversely affect our reputation and well as our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

Our business operates in a highly regulated industry and changes over time in regulations, the implementation of existing regulations, or our expansion into new business areas, could affect our operations and subject us to increased compliance costs and liabilities.

Our business is subject to rigorous laws, rules, and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws, rules, and regulations include, without limitation, federal and state laws, and country specific laws, governing health information privacy, scope of practice, licensure, the corporate practice of medicine and physical therapy, fraud and abuse, exclusion and debarment, anti-kickback obligations, false claims, patient referrals, fee splitting, regulation of devices, and other aspects of healthcare delivery. Changes, implementation, and other legal uncertainties related to such laws, rules, and regulations may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The cost of compliance with the ever-changing legal and regulatory environment, including as a result of the expansion of our business through our growth initiatives and strategies, may be significant. Our failure to comply with existing or future laws, rules, and regulations could subject us to fines, civil liability, including tort and product liability, mandatory injunctions that change how we operate, or the cessation of operations. As our business matures and evolves, including through our growth initiatives and strategies, and we expand geographically, we may become subject to new laws and regulations in new jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business, as it exists today and may exist in the future, and the new laws to which we may become subject. Moreover, our risk profile is changing as we offer new programs, services and offerings and expand in business areas beyond our historical businesses, and we may face increased regulatory risks related to our vertical integration strategy, including with respect to the corporate practice of medicine and physical therapy and fraud and abuse. For example, as a result of our expansion to the HingeSelect business, a high-performance provider network for MSK care that we launched in June 2025, we plan to offer new programs and services, which present a different risk profile than the programs and services that we historically have offered and increase our exposure to additional risks. This strategy may also lead to increased regulatory and public scrutiny as a result of consumer protection and quality of care concerns.

In addition to being subject to extensive, complex, and evolving laws and regulations, many of our contracts with clients include detailed requirements. In order to be eligible to offer certain products, we must demonstrate that we have robust systems and processes in place that are designed to maintain compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements. These systems and processes frequently are reviewed and audited by our clients and regulators. If our systems and processes designed to maintain compliance with applicable legal and contractual requirements, and to prevent and detect instances of, or the potential for, non-compliance fail or are deemed inadequate or we fail to meet or maintain adherence to our contractual obligations regarding these requirements, we may suffer brand and reputational harm and be subject to contractual damages, regulatory actions, litigation, and other proceedings which may result in damages, fines, suspension or loss of licensure, suspension or exclusion from participation in government programs, and/or other penalties, any of which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations, and financial condition.

We and our affiliated professional entities are subject to federal, state, and foreign healthcare laws and regulations, and a finding of failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We and our affiliated professional entities (collectively, referred to as Hinge Health Digital P.C.) are subject to healthcare fraud and abuse regulations and enforcement by federal, state, and foreign governments. These laws may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we and our affiliated professional entities conduct our operations. In the U.S., the laws that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to:

•the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons and entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, lease, order, or recommendation of, any good, facility, item, or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

•the federal physician self-referral law (“Stark Law”), which, subject to limited exceptions, prohibits physicians from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for the provision of certain designated health services (“DHS”) if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including an ownership interest or a compensation arrangement) with the entity, and prohibits the entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid for such DHS;

•federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the False Claims Act, that prohibit, among other things, knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment or approval to the federal government that are false or fraudulent, knowingly making a false statement material to an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government or knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the federal government. In addition, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or Stark Law constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act;

•the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, an individual or entity from offering remuneration to a federal healthcare program beneficiary that the individual or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary to order or receive healthcare items or services from a particular provider;

•HIPAA, which created federal criminal laws that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any federal healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters submitted for payment. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of these statutes or specific intent to violate them in order to have committed a violation;

•the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics, and medical supplies to report annually to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), certain other healthcare professionals (physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, anesthesiologist assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesiology assistants and certified nurse midwives), and teaching hospitals, and ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members;

•Section 1128J(d) of the Social Security Act (commonly known as the 60-Day Overpayment Rule) that imposes criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose or refund known overpayments;

•the FTC Act and federal and state consumer protection, advertisement, and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers;

•the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), which prohibits, among other things, U.S. companies and their employees and agents from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, corrupt or improper payments or anything else of value to foreign government officials, employees of public international organizations and foreign government owned or affiliated entities, candidates for foreign political office, and foreign political parties or officials thereof;

•state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws that may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers; and

•federal and state laws and regulations that prohibit providers from billing and receiving payment from Medicare and Medicaid for services unless the services are medically necessary, adequately and accurately documented, and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services rendered.

The scope and enforcement of each of these laws is uncertain and subject to rapid change in the current environment of healthcare reform, especially in areas where there is a lack of applicable precedent and regulation. Federal and state enforcement bodies have increased their scrutiny of interactions between healthcare companies and healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and settlements in the healthcare industry. Responding to investigations can be time and resource-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our business. Additionally, as a result of these investigations, we may have to agree to additional onerous compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree or corporate integrity agreement. Any such investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices, including certain revenue-sharing and lead generation agreements with our partners or equity arrangements with our physicians, physical therapists, health coaches, or other licensed healthcare professionals, do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations, agency guidance, or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our or our affiliated professional entities’ operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us or our affiliated professional entities now or in the future, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from governmental health care programs, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Legislative or regulatory healthcare reform measures may make it more difficult and costly to operate our business, or to do so profitably. Accordingly, such legislative or regulatory healthcare reform measures may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Federal and state governments in the U.S. and foreign governments have and continue to propose and pass a number of legislative and regulatory initiatives to contain or reduce healthcare costs. For example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, “ACA”), made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, including comparative effectiveness research initiatives and payment system reforms such shared savings pilots and other provisions.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the U.S. since the ACA was enacted. These changes included an aggregate reduction in Medicare payments to providers, which went into effect on April 1, 2013 and will remain in effect through 2032, unless additional congressional action is taken. In addition, on January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, was signed into law and, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to certain providers, including hospitals. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, enacted on April 16, 2015 (“MACRA”), repealed the formula by which Medicare made annual payment adjustments to physicians and replaced the former formula with fixed annual updates and a new system of incentive payments that began in 2019 that are based on various performance measures and physicians’ participation in alternative payment models such as accountable care organizations. Certain of these provisions are still being implemented, and the full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

An individual covered by a HDHP is generally ineligible to make HSA contributions if they receive coverage from a plan before the deductible requirement is satisfied in a given year. However, between 2020 and 2024, Section 3701 of the CARES Act, enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 27, 2020, and its subsequent extensions, permitted plan sponsors to provide telehealth services to HDHP participants before the participant satisfied the deductible. This provision was made permanent, effective January 1, 2025, by Section 71306 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, although it is possible that the IRS may issue guidance limiting the scope of this exemption. Nonetheless, Section 223(c)(2)(A) of the Code provides a different safe harbor that allows HDHP participants to use certain employee assistance programs, disease management, and wellness programs before they meet their HDHP deductible so long as these services do not offer significant benefits in the nature of medical care or treatment. Without an applicable exemption or safe harbor for first-dollar coverage for telehealth services, patients with high deductible health plans would not be able to make HSA contributions, meaning they may have higher out-of-pocket costs for using our platform. As a result, certain health plans may elect to cease being clients rather than relying on telehealth safe harbor or the safe harbor in Section 223(c)(2)(A) of the Code.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services and could limit or make it more difficult to operate our business or expand into government agencies and government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Certain of these laws and regulations are subject to "facts and circumstances" review, and the considerations for such review may vary based on the reviewer or the administration.

We are dependent on our relationships with our affiliated professional entities, which we do not own, to provide some of the healthcare services we offer to our members, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with our affiliated professional entities become subject to legal challenges.

Our contractual relationships with Hinge Health Digital P.C., our affiliated professional entities may implicate certain state laws that generally prohibit the practice of medicine or other licensed professions, including physical therapy, by lay persons or entities and are intended to prevent unlicensed persons or entities from interfering with or inappropriately influencing providers’ professional judgment (such activities generally referred to as the corporate practice of medicine) or engaging in certain practices such as fee splitting with such licensed professionals. These prohibitions exist in some form, by statute, regulation, board of medicine or physical therapy, or attorney general guidance, or case law, in certain of the states in which we operate. The interpretation and enforcement of these laws vary significantly from state to state, and in certain states, such as Oregon, California, Massachusetts and New York, existing regulations are being introduced, amended and/or new statutes are being enacted to further restrict the corporate practice of medicine, in particular where the regulators perceive increasingly undue control or restriction over the practice of medicine arising from relationships with lay entities, such as private equity groups and hedge funds. There can be no assurance that these laws will be interpreted in a manner consistent with our practices or that other laws or regulations will not be enacted in the future that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Regulatory authorities, state boards of medicine, state attorneys general, and other parties may assert that, despite the agreements through which we operate, we are engaged in the provision of medical services or that our arrangements with our affiliated professional entities constitute unlawful fee splitting. If a jurisdiction’s prohibition on the corporate practice of medicine or fee splitting is interpreted in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices, we would be required to restructure or terminate our arrangements with our affiliated professional entities to bring our activities into compliance with such laws. A determination of noncompliance, or the termination of or failure to successfully restructure these relationships, could result in disciplinary action, penalties, damages, fines, or a loss of revenue, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. State corporate practice and fee splitting prohibitions also often impose penalties on healthcare professionals for aiding in the improper rendering of professional services, which could discourage physicians and other healthcare professionals from providing clinical services to members of the health plans with whom we contract.

In order to comply with the corporate practice of medicine doctrine in states in which we operate, we have entered into an MSA with each of our affiliated professional entities. Under the MSAs, we provide various administrative and non-clinical operations support services in exchange for scheduled fees for our services. As a result, our ability to receive cash fees from our affiliated professional entities generally may be limited to the fair market value of the services provided under the MSAs. To the extent our ability to receive cash fees from our affiliated professional entities may be limited in certain states in which we operate, our ability to use that cash for growth, debt service, or other uses may be impaired and, as a result, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, while the MSAs prohibit us from controlling, influencing, or otherwise interfering with the professional practice of any affiliated professional entity and provide that the licensed professionals retain exclusive control and responsibility for all aspects of the professional practice and the delivery of medical or other licensed healthcare services, there can be no assurance that our contractual arrangements and activities with our affiliated professional entities will be free from scrutiny from regulatory authorities, and we cannot guarantee that new regulations and/or subsequent interpretation of the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting laws will not circumscribe our business operations. If a successful legal challenge or an adverse change in relevant laws were to occur, and we were unable to adapt our business model accordingly, our operations in affected jurisdictions would be disrupted, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

While we expect that our relationships with our affiliated professional entities will continue, a material change in our relationship with these entities, whether resulting from a dispute among the entities, a challenge from a governmental regulator, a change in government regulation or new statutes, or the loss of these relationships or contracts, could impair our ability to provide certain services to our members and could harm our business. For example, the succession arrangements in place with the owners of the professional entities include provisions to help ensure an orderly succession of the owner or owners of such professional entities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such succession arrangements may be challenged, which may then impact our relationship with the affiliated professional entities and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. The MSAs and succession arrangements, including any stock transfer restriction agreements, could also subject us to additional scrutiny by federal and state regulatory bodies regarding federal and state fraud and abuse laws. Any scrutiny, investigation, or litigation with regard to these agreements or arrangements, and any resulting penalties, including monetary fines and restrictions on or agreements or arrangements, and any resulting penalties, including monetary fines and restrictions on or mandated changes to our current business and operating arrangements, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business could be adversely affected by legal challenges to our ability to offer our platform and full range of programs in certain jurisdictions.

The ability to offer our platform and full range of programs in a particular state is directly dependent upon the applicable laws governing remote healthcare, the practice of medicine or other licensed professions, including physical therapy, and healthcare delivery in general in such location, which are subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion, and are subject to change and to evolving interpretations by state boards of medicine and physical therapy and state attorneys general, among others. With respect to remote healthcare services, in the past, state medical and physical therapy boards implemented new rules or interpreted existing rules in a manner that has limited or restricted our affiliated professional entities’ ability to conduct their business as it has been conducted in the past, such as laws that require a provider to be licensed or physically located in the same state where the patient is located. For example, certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including Oregon, California, New York, Virginia, and Massachusetts, among others, are not members of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, which streamlines the process by which physicians licensed in one state are able to practice in other participating states. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many states enacted waivers and adopted other temporary measures that lifted certain restrictions on out-of-state providers and waived certain license requirements to allow greater access to telehealth services during the public health emergency period. Many of these waivers and temporary measures with respect to licensure have expired since the end of the public health emergency and those that have not yet expired may not be reapproved. Accordingly, we must continuously monitor our compliance with laws in every jurisdiction in which we operate and a failure to monitor compliance may have a negative impact on our business. We cannot provide any assurance that our platform and programs, if challenged, will be found to be in compliance with applicable law.

Additionally, it is possible that the laws and rules governing the practice of medicine and the practice of physical therapy, including telehealth, in one or more jurisdictions in which we operate may change in a manner deleterious to us and our business. For example, in April 2021, West Virginia adopted an amendment to the West Virginia Administrative Code that, among other things, provided that physical therapy via telehealth may be used to establish a new patient relationship only if the physical therapist is physically available to perform an in-person hands-on examination or re-examination throughout the course of the patient’s care. We continue to assess and address the impact of this amendment on our business in order to continue to be able to offer our platform and programs in West Virginia.

Furthermore, in August 2024, Illinois passed an amendment to the Illinois Physical Therapy Act, that limited physical therapists’ ability to provide physical therapy via telehealth to patients in Illinois, which amendment became effective in January 2025. The amendment required, among other things, that initial physical therapy evaluations without a referral or established diagnosis be performed in person and could not be performed via telehealth unless necessary to address a documented hardship, including geographical, physical, or weather-related conditions. Further, the amendment stated that the use of telehealth as a primary means of delivering physical therapy must be an exception and documentation must support the clinical justification. The amendment also required that a physical therapist providing remote care must have the capacity to provide in-person care within Illinois. The Illinois Physical Therapy Act was again amended in August 2025 to remove the above requirements, and we continue to assess its potential impact on our revenue. It is possible that other states may pass similar legislation in the future. We cannot predict the timing or impact of such legislation, however, it could have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Increased regulation and legislative review of remote health care practices could further increase our costs of doing business. Authorities may not agree with our interpretation of existing or future legislation and regulation, which may require us to incur additional costs. Further states may require that members receiving physical therapy have the right to request and receive in-person care, as is the case in West Virginia, and, if so, we will need to offer in-person care options to members in those states, which could increase the cost of offering our platform and programs. If other states were to pass similar measures, it could make it difficult and more expensive to operate our business in general or to operate our business in those states, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If a successful legal challenge or an adverse change in the relevant laws were to occur, and we were unable to adapt our business model accordingly, our operations as well as the operations of our affiliated professional entities in the affected jurisdictions could be disrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Failure to comply with these laws could also result in professional discipline for the affiliated professional entities’ providers or civil or criminal penalties.

Government laws and regulation of the internet is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these laws and regulations could substantially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to general business regulations and laws specifically governing the internet. Furthermore, the regulatory landscape impacting this area is constantly evolving. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, privacy and data security, anti-spam, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, electronic communications, money laundering, electronic payments, and consumer protection. It is not clear how existing laws and regulations governing issues such as property ownership, sales, and other taxes, libel, and personal privacy apply to the internet as the vast majority of these laws and regulations were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the internet. It is possible that general business regulations and laws, or those specifically governing the internet may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices.

We cannot assure you that our practices have complied, comply, or will in the future comply with all such laws and regulations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, a loss in business, and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. For example, recent automatic renewal laws, which require companies to adhere to enhanced disclosure requirements when entering into automatically renewing contracts with consumers, resulted in class action lawsuits against companies that offer online products and services on a subscription or recurring basis. These and similar proceedings or actions could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant resources in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, cause members to decrease their use of our platform and programs, and may result in the imposition of monetary liability. We may also be contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any such laws or regulations. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Changes or developments in the health insurance markets in the U.S., including passage and implementation of a law to create a single-payer or government-run health insurance program, could adversely harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In the U.S., our business operates within the public and private sectors of the U.S. health insurance system, which are evolving quickly and subject to a changing regulatory environment, and our future financial performance will depend, in part, on growth in the market for private health insurance, as our platform and programs are integrated with health insurance plans offered by our clients, as well as our ability to adapt to regulatory developments. Changes and developments in the health insurance system in the U.S. could reduce demand for our platform and programs and harm our business. For example, there has been an ongoing national debate relating to the health insurance system in the U.S. Certain elected officials have introduced proposals that would create a new single-payer national health insurance program for all U.S. residents, replacing virtually all other sources of public and private insurance, to more incremental approaches, or creating a new public health insurance option that would compete with private insurers. Additionally, proposals to establish a single-payer or government-run healthcare system at the state level are regularly introduced, such as in New York and California. At the federal level, the president and Congress may consider other legislation or executive orders, including changes to the elements of the ACA. Areas of focus include policies or practices that may reduce affordability of coverage, present unnecessary barriers to coverage, or undermine protections for people with preexisting conditions. We continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible modification, repeal, and replacement has on our business. We cannot predict the timing or impact of any future rulemaking, court decisions or other changes in the law.

In the event that laws, regulations or rules that eliminate or reduce private sources of health insurance or require such benefits to be taxable are adopted, the subsequent impact on the insurance carriers or self-insured plans may in turn adversely impact our ability to accurately forecast future results and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We and our affiliated professional entities may become subject to medical liability claims, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and may require us to pay significant damages if not covered by insurance.

Our business entails the risk of medical liability claims against both us and our affiliated professional entities. Although our affiliated professional entities carry insurance covering medical malpractice claims, successful medical liability claims could result in substantial damage awards that exceed the limits of the insurance coverage of our affiliated professional entities. In addition, professional liability insurance is expensive and insurance premiums may increase significantly in the future, particularly as we expand our platform and programs. As a result, adequate professional liability insurance may not be available in the future at acceptable costs or at all.

Any claims made against us or our affiliated professional entities may adversely affect our business or reputation, and any claims that are not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend against, result in substantial damage awards against us and divert the attention of our management and our partners from our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to regular and special audit requirements, as well as inquiries or investigations by governmental agencies or regulators from time to time that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our platform and programs may be subject to regular or special audit requirements and inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies or regulators. In particular, HingeSelect may be subject to inquiries and investigations by state insurance regulators regarding aspects of our business and/or the business of our insurance company partners. Such inquiries or investigations could consume significant management time and result in regulatory sanctions, fines or other actions as well as significant legal fees, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and liquidity. Also, we face additional regulatory scrutiny as we expand our businesses geographically and as we increase the scope of new products and services that we offer.

Additionally, HingeSelect is subject to regular and special governmental audits, that could result in changes to our business practices, and also could result in significant or material premium refunds, fines, penalties, civil liabilities, criminal liabilities or other sanctions, including suspension or exclusion from participation in government programs and suspension or loss of licensure.

We are unable to predict the outcome of such inquiries, investigations or audits. Any proposed changes that result from these investigations, inquiries and audits, or any other investigations, inquiries or regulatory developments, or any potential fines or enforcement action, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our compliance systems and controls cannot guarantee that we comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations related to HingeSelect, and actions by regulatory authorities or changes in applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

HingeSelect’s activities are subject to extensive regulation under the laws of those states in which it is duly licensed and those states in which it is not presently licensed. In addition, HingeSelect does not exercise management control over its counterparties, some of which are highly regulated themselves. The laws and regulations applicable to HingeSelect’s business are complex, continually evolving, can be inconsistent or conflict with one another, and may increase the costs of regulatory compliance, limit or restrict the programs or services we provide, or subject our business to the possibility of regulatory actions or proceedings. In general, these laws and regulations are designed to benefit and protect clients, members, and providers rather than us or our investors. In addition, the governmental authorities that regulate our businesses have broad latitude to make, interpret, and enforce the laws and regulations that govern HingeSelect. We also must follow various restrictions on certain of our business put in place by certain state regulators. Insurance regulatory authorities have the ability to interpret and amend these laws and regulations and impose penalties for non-compliance, including sanctions, civil remedies, monetary fines, injunctions, revocation of licenses or approvals, suspension of individuals, limitations on business activities, or redress to clients. Any failure of compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as any changes to such laws and regulations or actions by regulatory authorities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We cannot assure that the compliance program, systems and controls in place for HingeSelect will prevent any violations of any applicable laws and regulations. While we strive to remain fully compliant with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot guarantee that we will fully comply at all times with all laws and regulations.

As is typical for third-party administrators, we maintain insurance to cover compliance failures and/or failures to properly execute HingeSelect’s obligations. However, not all potential liabilities may not be covered by insurance, insurers may dispute coverage, and the amount of our insurance may not be enough to cover the damages awarded or costs incurred in litigation. In addition, some types of damages, like punitive damages, may not be covered by insurance, and in some jurisdictions the coverage of punitive damages is prohibited. Insurance coverage for all or some forms of liability also may become unavailable or prohibitively expensive in the future.

We have been, and may in the future be, subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have been, and may in the future be, subject to various litigation matters from time to time, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against us by individuals, either individually or through class actions, by governmental entities in civil or criminal investigations and proceedings, or by other entities. These claims could be asserted under a variety of laws, including but not limited to consumer finance laws, consumer protection laws, healthcare regulatory laws, healthcare privacy laws, tort laws, environmental laws, intellectual property laws, privacy laws, labor and employment laws, securities laws, insurance laws, and employee benefit laws. We may also become subject to allegations of discrimination or other similar misconduct, which, regardless of the ultimate outcome, may result in adverse publicity that could harm our brand, reputation, and operations. Claims may also arise out of actual or alleged breaches of contract or other actual or alleged acts or omissions by or on behalf of us. The scope, determination, and impact of claims, lawsuits, government and regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, disputes, and proceedings to which we are subject cannot be predicted with certainty, and may result in:

•substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines, or penalties;

•substantial outside counsel legal fees and costs;

•additional compliance and licensure requirements;

•loss or non-renewal of existing licenses or authorizations, or prohibition from or delays in obtaining additional licenses or authorizations, required for our business;

•loss of productivity and high demands on employee time;

•criminal sanctions or consent decrees;

•termination of certain employees, including members of our executive management team;

•barring of certain employees from participating in our business in whole or in part;

•orders that restrict our business or prevent us from offering our platform or certain programs;

•changes to our business model and practices; and

•damage to our reputation and brand.

The number and significance of these potential claims and disputes may increase as our business expands. Any claim against us, regardless of its merit, could be costly, divert management’s attention and operational resources, and harm our reputation and brand. As litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that any potential claims or disputes will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Even if we are successful in defending against legal claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and demands on management’s attention and operational resources.

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions, and similar laws and regulations, and non-compliance with such laws and regulations can subject us to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures, and legal expenses, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions, and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which we currently or may in the future conduct activities, including the FCPA, the UK Bribery Act, and other anti-corruption laws and regulations. The FCPA and the UK Bribery Act prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees, and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing, or providing anything of value to a “foreign official” for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The FCPA also requires companies to make and keep books, records, and accounts that accurately reflect transactions and dispositions of assets and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. The UK Bribery Act also prohibits non-governmental “commercial” bribery and soliciting or accepting bribes. A violation of these laws or regulations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation. Our policies and procedures may not be sufficient to ensure compliance with these regulations and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, and business partners could engage in improper conduct for which we may be held responsible, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities.

We are also subject to certain economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and which prohibit or restrict transactions to or from or dealings with certain countries that are subject to comprehensive sanctions, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that are named on OFAC’s list of specially designated nationals.

Non-compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, or financial and economic sanctions laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, and severe administrative, civil and criminal sanctions, collateral consequences, remedial measures, and legal expenses, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, changes in economic sanctions laws in the future could materially adversely impact our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock.

Risks Related to Medical Device Compliance and Regulations

Our Enso device is subject to extensive government regulation. We may not receive, or may be delayed in receiving, the necessary marketing authorizations or certifications for modifications to our Enso device or any device products (including new device products) we may offer, and failure to timely obtain necessary marketing authorizations or certifications for any medical devices we may offer could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In the U.S., before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, or other significant modification to an existing, marketed medical device, such as our Enso device, we must first receive either clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), approval of a premarket approval application (“PMA”), or grant of a de novo classification request from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. For example, we have obtained 510(k) clearance of our Enso device for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, and for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulder, waist, back, neck, upper extremities (arm) and lower extremities (leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household work activities.

In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally-marketed “predicate” device, which includes a device that has been previously cleared through the 510(k) process, a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), a device that was originally on the U.S. market pursuant to an approved PMA and later down-classified, or a 510(k)-exempt device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence. In the process of obtaining PMA approval, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing, and labeling data. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting, or implantable devices. In the de novo classification process, a manufacturer whose novel device under the FDCA would otherwise be automatically classified as Class III and require the submission and approval of a PMA prior to marketing is able to request down-classification of the device to Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents a low or moderate risk. If the FDA grants the de novo classification request, the applicant will receive authorization to market the device. This device type may be used subsequently as a predicate device for future 510(k) submissions. We have not sought or obtained PMA approval or de novo classification for any products to date.

The PMA approval, 510(k) clearance, and de novo classification processes can be expensive, lengthy, and uncertain. In addition, a PMA generally requires the performance of one or more clinical trials. Clinical data may also be required in connection with an application for 510(k) clearance or a de novo request. Despite the time, effort, and cost, a device may not obtain marketing authorization by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory marketing authorizations could harm our business. Furthermore, even if we are granted such marketing authorizations, they may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for the device, which may limit the potential commercial market for the device.

We have obtained 510(k) clearance for our Enso device, and we expect we will pursue similar regulatory pathways in the U.S. with respect to potential modifications of our Enso device, where required, as well any future device products, including any applications we may develop that otherwise meet the FDA’s definition of a medical device. However, if the FDA requires us to pursue alternate pathways, or otherwise go through a lengthier, more rigorous premarket review for our products than we had expected, our product introductions or modifications could be delayed or prevented, which would have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the U.S., any modification to a product candidate for which we receive marketing authorization may require us to submit a new 510(k) premarket notification and obtain clearance, to submit a PMA and obtain FDA approval, or to submit a de novo request prior to implementing the change. For example, any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design, or manufacture, generally requires a new 510(k) clearance or other marketing authorization. The FDA requires every manufacturer to make such determinations in the first instance, but the FDA may review any manufacturer’s decision. The FDA may not agree with a manufacturer’s decisions regarding whether new clearances or approvals are necessary. We have in the past made modifications to our 510(k)-cleared product that we believe did not require a new 510(k) clearance, and we may do so in the future. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations and requires us to seek new marketing authorizations for any implemented product modifications, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain such marketing authorization, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

The FDA, and if we decide to offer our Enso device or any future device products internationally, applicable foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies, can delay, limit, or deny marketing authorization or certification of a device for many reasons, including:

•our inability to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA, or applicable foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies that our device products are substantially equivalent to a predicate device or are safe and effective for their intended uses;

•the disagreement of the FDA, or applicable foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies that our available data support the intended uses of our device products;

•serious and unexpected adverse device effects experienced by clinical study participants or device users;

•the data from preclinical studies and clinical studies may be insufficient to support clearance, de novo classification, approval, or certification, where required;

•our inability to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of the device outweigh the risks;

•the manufacturing process or facilities we use may not meet applicable requirements; and

•the potential for marketing authorization or certification policies or regulations of the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authorities to change significantly in a manner rendering our data or regulatory filings insufficient for continued marketing authorization or certification.

The FDA may modify its enforcement policies with respect to medical software products, and our programs may become subject to extensive regulatory requirements, which may increase the cost of conducting, or otherwise harm, our business.

We develop and offer certain digital applications to our members. The FDA may regulate medical or health-related software, including machine learning functionality and predictive algorithms, if such software falls within the definition of a “medical device” under the FDCA. However, historically, the FDA has exercised enforcement discretion for certain low-risk software functions and has issued several guidance documents outlining its approach to the regulation of software as a medical device. In addition, the Cures Act amended the FDCA to exclude from the definition of “medical device” certain medical-related software, including software used for administrative support functions at a healthcare facility, software intended for maintaining or encouraging a healthy lifestyle, software designed to store EHRs, software for transferring, storing, or displaying medical device data or in vitro diagnostic data, and certain clinical decision support software. Accordingly, we believe some of our currently marketed software, including our Hinge Health application, AI-powered motion tracking technology, and related algorithms are not currently regulated by the FDA as medical devices, or that such products are otherwise subject to FDA’s current enforcement discretion policies applicable to software products.

However, there is a risk that the FDA could disagree with our determinations, or that the FDA could alter its enforcement discretion policies, and in each case, subject our digital applications to more stringent medical device regulations. Similar risks may exist in foreign jurisdictions.

In certain international jurisdictions where we offer our global program, our global program is considered a medical device and is therefore subject to various requirements enforced by foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies. Similar classifications and requirements may apply in additional international jurisdictions where we may offer our global program in the future. In addition, if the FDA determines that any of our current or future platform and programs, including the functions available within our Hinge Health application, constitute medical devices and are not otherwise subject to enforcement discretion, such platform and programs would become subject to various requirements under the FDCA and the FDA’s implementing regulations. As such, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the affected platform and programs until we obtain the requisite clearances, approvals or certifications and may otherwise be subject to enforcement action, which would entail significant cost and could harm our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition. The process of seeking clearance, approval or certification can be expensive and time-consuming, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in obtaining any necessary clearance, approval or certification. On April 22, 2025, we received a letter from the FDA requesting information from us regarding the marketing of our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology, TrueMotion, and the basis for our determination that we are not required to obtain FDA clearance or approval for it and that no prescription is required for its use. We have responded to these questions in a manner we believe will be acceptable to the FDA, although there can be no assurance the FDA will agree with our analysis.

Failure to comply with regulatory requirements for medical devices could subject us to enforcement actions, including substantial penalties, and might require us to recall or withdraw a product from the market.

Because we have obtained 510(k) clearance for our Enso device in the U.S., we are subject to ongoing and pervasive regulatory requirements governing, among other things, the manufacture, marketing, advertising, medical device reporting, sale, promotion, import, export, registration, and listing of devices. For example, we must submit periodic reports to the FDA as a condition of 510(k) clearance for our Enso device. These reports include information about failures and certain adverse events associated with the device after its clearance. Failure to submit such reports, or failure to submit the reports in a timely manner, could result in enforcement action by the FDA. Following its review of the periodic reports, the FDA might ask for additional information or initiate further investigation. In addition, any marketing authorizations we are granted are limited to the cleared or approved indications for use. Further, the manufacturing facilities for a product are subject to periodic review and inspection. Subsequent discovery of problems with a product, manufacturer, or manufacturing facility may result in restrictions on the product, manufacturer, or manufacturing facility, including withdrawal of the product from the market or other enforcement actions. In addition, we distribute the Perifit pelvic trainer device, which is manufactured by a third-party supplier. We are subject to certain regulatory requirements as a distributor of this device and a failure to comply with these requirements could have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to continue or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs, or lower than anticipated sales. Even after we have obtained the proper regulatory clearance to market a device, we have ongoing responsibilities under FDA regulations and applicable foreign laws and regulations with respect to our medical device products. References to “our medical device products” include, in the U.S., our Enso device and any additional medical devices we may develop, and internationally, our global program and any new or newly offered medical device. The FDA, state, and foreign regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, state, or foreign regulatory authorities, which may include any of the following sanctions:

•untitled letters or warning letters;

•fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

•recalls, termination of distribution, administrative detention, or seizure of our device products;

•client notifications or repair, replacement, or refunds;

•operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

•delays in or refusal to grant our requests for future clearances or approvals or foreign marketing authorizations or certifications of new products, new intended uses, or modifications to existing products;

•withdrawals or suspensions of our current 510(k) clearances, resulting in prohibitions on sales of our device products;

•FDA refusal to issue certificates to foreign governments needed to export products for sale in other countries; and

•criminal prosecution.

Any of these sanctions could result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the FDA, foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies may change their marketing authorization or certification policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay marketing authorization or certification of any product candidate under development or impact our ability to modify any device products authorized or certified for market on a timely basis. Such changes may also occur in foreign jurisdictions where we may market device products in the future. Such policy or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain marketing authorizations or certifications, increase the costs of compliance, or restrict our ability to maintain any marketing authorizations we have obtained. See the risk factor titled “—Legislative or regulatory reforms in the U.S. and in foreign countries may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain marketing authorizations for any medical devices or to manufacture, market or distribute any medical devices after such authorizations have been obtained.”

Our medical device products must be manufactured in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We could be forced to recall our device or terminate production if we fail to comply with these regulations, and such recall or termination or other factors could affect our ability to provide our Enso device to members.

We and our third-party suppliers and manufacturers are required to comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements for medical devices, known as the Quality System Regulation (“QSR”), which covers among other things, the procedures, methods and documentation for the design, testing, production, controls, quality assurance, handling labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage, and shipping of medical devices, such as the Enso and Perifit devices that we provide to certain members in connection with our platform and programs. We are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures, and operations that comply with our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of medical device manufacturing facilities, which may include the facilities of third-party suppliers and subcontractors. Our device products remain subject to similar state regulations and various laws and regulations of foreign countries governing manufacturing.

We or any third-party manufacturers or suppliers may not take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of our device products. In addition, failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements or later discovery of previously unknown problems with our device products or manufacturing processes could result in, among other things: warning letters or untitled letters; fines, injunctions or civil penalties; suspension or withdrawal of approvals; seizures or recalls of our device products; total or partial suspension of production or distribution; administrative or judicially imposed sanctions; the FDA’s refusal to grant pending or future clearances or approvals for our device products; clinical holds; refusal to permit the import or export of our device products; and criminal prosecution of us, our suppliers, or our employees. We rely on and expect to continue to rely on a small number of third-party suppliers and manufacturers to supply our inventory, and any disruption to their services could disrupt our ability to supply quality Enso devices and other peripheral products to our members, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Increases in demand could strain our suppliers’ and manufacturers’ capacity, impacting timely delivery and compliance with quality standards.

Any of these actions could significantly and negatively affect supply of our products and platform. If any of these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, we could be exposed to product liability claims and we could lose clients, members, and contracted lives and experience reduced sales and increased costs.

Our medical device products may cause or contribute to adverse events or be subject to failures or malfunctions that we may be required to report to the FDA, and if we fail to do so, we may be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition. The discovery of serious safety issues with our medical device products, or a recall of our medical device products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

As a manufacturer of a 510(k) cleared medical device, we are subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and, to the extent applicable to our global program, similar foreign regulations, which require us to report to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that one or more of our device products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed time frame. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of the product. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, approval or certification, seizure of our device products, or delay in clearance, approval or certification of future products.

In addition, the FDA and foreign regulatory bodies have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or in the event that a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. For example, the FDA’s authority to require a recall must be based on a finding that there is reasonable probability that the device could cause serious injury or death. We may also choose to voluntarily recall a device if any material deficiency is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing defects, labeling or design deficiencies, packaging defects, or other deficiencies or failures to comply with applicable regulations. Product defects or other errors may occur in the future.

Depending on the corrective action we take to redress a product’s deficiencies or defects, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may require, or we may decide, that we will need to obtain new clearances, approvals or certifications for the device before we may market or distribute the corrected device. Seeking such clearances, approvals or certifications may delay our ability to replace the recalled devices in a timely manner. Moreover, if we do not adequately address problems associated with our devices, we may face additional regulatory enforcement action.

Medical device manufacturers are required to maintain certain records of recalls and corrections, even if they are not reportable to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities. We may initiate voluntary withdrawals or corrections for our devices in the future that we determine do not require notification of the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities. If the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities disagree with our determinations, they could require us to report those actions as recalls and we may be subject to enforcement action. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with clients and members, potentially lead to product liability claims against us and negatively affect our sales. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital, distract management from operating our business, and may harm our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our platform and programs, including our current and any future medical devices, may result in direct or indirect harm or injury to members, and as a result we could be subject to claims, liabilities, and reputational harm, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our platform and programs are designed under the oversight of qualified healthcare professionals, and we train our care team to comply with appropriate standards and protocol for delivery of care and the recognition and management of escalation events. Our success depends in part on the ability of our healthcare professionals to obtain and maintain all necessary licenses, certifications, permits, and other approvals, and to provide services to members in compliance with applicable laws, including scope of practice laws, as well as our policies. Nevertheless, if future results or experience indicate that our programs cause unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen negative effects, we could face significant legal liability or harm to our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our success will also depend in part on the success of our current and any future medical devices we develop and provide to members. We believe that members are and will continue to be sensitive to errors or issues resulting from the use of our medical device products. Any failure of our Enso device, or for any other medical device products we currently offer or may offer in the future, to perform as intended or advertised, or any harm or injury resulting from the use of such products, may result in claims, liabilities, and reputational harm. For example, we have in the past received and may in the future receive complaints from members regarding injury or potential injury related to the use of the Enso device. Any such complaints may result in legal claims against us, which would harm our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The misuse or off-label use of our medical device products may harm our reputation in the marketplace, result in injuries that lead to product liability suits or result in costly investigations, fines, or sanctions by regulatory bodies if we are deemed to have engaged in the promotion of these uses, any of which could be costly to our business.

Any marketing authorization we may receive for our device products will be limited to specified indications for use. We train our marketing personnel and direct sales force to not promote our authorized medical device for uses outside of the FDA-authorized indications for use, known as “off-label uses.” Similar rules may apply in foreign jurisdictions for our global program and any future medical device products we may offer internationally. We cannot, however, prevent a physician from recommending our medical device for off-label uses, when, in the physician’s independent professional medical judgment, he or she deems it appropriate. There may be increased risk of injury to patients if members or physicians attempt to use our medical device off-label, which could harm our reputation in the marketplace among current or potential clients, members, and physicians.

If the FDA or any foreign regulatory body determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an off-label use of our device products, the FDA or such regulatory body could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance or imposition of an untitled letter, which is used for violators that do not necessitate a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine, or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as false claims laws, if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and the curtailment of our operations.

In addition, members or physicians may misuse medical device products or use improper techniques if they are not adequately trained, potentially leading to injury and an increased risk of product liability. If our medical device products are misused or used with improper technique, we may become subject to costly litigation by our clients or members. As described above, product liability claims could divert management’s attention from our core business, be expensive to defend and result in sizeable damage awards against us that may not be covered by insurance.

Legislative or regulatory reforms in the U.S. and in foreign countries may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain marketing authorizations for any medical devices or to manufacture, market or distribute any medical devices after such authorizations have been obtained.

Federal and state governments in the U.S. and foreign governments continue to propose and pass new legislation and regulations that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the regulation of medical devices. In addition, the FDA may change its policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay marketing authorization of our future products under development or impact our ability to modify any products for which we have already obtained marketing authorizations on a timely basis. For example, in February 2024, the FDA issued a final rule to amend and replace the QSR, which sets forth the FDA’s current good manufacturing practice requirements for medical devices, to align more closely with the International Organization for Standardization standards. Specifically, this final rule, which the FDA expects to go into effect on February 2, 2026, establishes the Quality Management System Regulation (“QMSR”), which among other things, incorporates by reference the quality management system requirements of ISO 13485:2016. Although the FDA has stated that the standards contained in ISO 13485:2016 are substantially similar to those set forth in the QSR, it is unclear the extent to which this final rule, once effective, could impose additional or different regulatory requirements on us that could increase the costs of compliance or otherwise negatively affect our business. If we are unable to comply with QMSR, once effective, or with any other changes in the laws or regulations enforced by FDA or comparable regulatory authorities, we may be subject to enforcement action, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, one of the most significant moving targets related to the regulatory landscape is in the EU; more specifically, the regulation of medical devices has recently evolved and continues to undergo legislative changes. Regulation (EU) No 2017/745 (the “EU Medical Devices Regulation”), which repeals and replaces the Council Directive 93/42/EEC (the “EU Medical Devices Directive”), became applicable on May 26, 2021. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EU member states, regulations are directly applicable, without the need for adoption of EU member state laws implementing them, in all EU member states and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EU member states. The EU Medical Devices Regulation, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EU for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation.

The modifications brought by the EU Medical Devices Regulation and additional recent changes may have an effect on the way we intend to develop our business in the EU and EEA. For example, as a result of the transition towards the new regime, notified body review times have lengthened, and product introductions or modifications could be delayed, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business in a timely manner.

If we do not obtain and maintain any required international regulatory registrations, marketing authorizations or certifications for our medical device products, we will be unable to market and sell such products outside of the U.S.

As we look towards increased international expansion, including with respect to our global program, which is considered a medical device by certain foreign regulatory authorities, sales of our medical device products outside of the U.S. will be subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country and we may be required to obtain and maintain regulatory authorizations, including clearances or approvals, or other certifications in order to commercialize certain of our products in certain international markets.

For instance, by marketing our global program or any products qualifying as a medical device in the EU, they must comply with the general safety and performance requirements of EU Medical Devices Regulation, which repeals and replaces the EU Medical Devices Directive. Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the European Conformity (“CE”) mark to medical devices, without which they cannot be sold or marketed in the EU. All medical devices placed on the market in the EU must meet the general safety and performance requirements laid down in Annex I to the EU Medical Devices Regulation, including the requirement that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that, during normal conditions of use, it is suitable for its intended purpose. Medical devices must be safe and effective and must not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and, where applicable, other persons, provided that any risks which may be associated with their use constitute acceptable risks when weighed against the benefits to the patient and are compatible with a high level of protection of health and safety, taking into account the generally acknowledged state of the art. To demonstrate compliance with the general safety and performance requirements, we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its (risk) classification. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I), where the manufacturer can self-assess the conformity of its products with the general safety and performance requirements (except for any parts which relate to sterility, metrology, or reuse aspects), a conformity assessment procedure generally requires the intervention of a notified body. The notified body would typically audit and examine the technical file and the quality system for the manufacture, design, and final inspection of medical devices. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant general safety and performance requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we would be unable to affix the CE mark to our products, which would prevent us from selling them within the EU and in the EEA, which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. Similarly, if national competent authorities do not agree with the classification of the medical device product(s) we place on the EU market, we may be subject to enforcement actions by EU regulatory authorities, including fines, product recalls, or the suspension of our ability to market and sell our products within the EU. Such enforcement actions could adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and reputation. Additionally, the process of reclassifying medical devices and aligning with the correct regulatory pathway could be time-consuming and costly, potentially delaying product launches and impacting our competitive position in the market.

In the UK, on June 26, 2022, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), published its response to a 10-week consultation on the future regulation of medical devices in the UK. The MHRA proposes amendments to the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (which are based on EU legislation, primarily the EU Medical Devices Directive), in particular to create new access pathways to support innovation, create an innovative framework for regulating software and artificial intelligence as medical devices, reform in vitro diagnostic regulation, and foster sustainability through the reuse and remanufacture of medical devices. The MHRA has stated that it remains its intention to implement the proposals from such consultation through secondary legislation. In addition, on November 14, 2024, the MHRA launched a new consultation on proposals to update the regulatory framework for medical devices in Great Britain, covering four topics, namely (1) a new international reliance scheme to enable swifter market access for certain devices that have already been approved in a comparable regulator country; (2) the new UK Conformity Assessed (“UKCA”) mark and, in particular, proposals to remove the requirement to place such UKCA marking on devices; (3) conformity assessment procedures for in vitro diagnostic devices; and (4) maintaining in UK law certain pieces of “assimilated” EU law which are due to sunset in 2025. The MHRA consultation was opened until January 5, 2025 and it is expected that secondary legislation implementing the proposals would be introduced in 2025.

The divergence of the new UK rules from EU law could adversely affect or delay our ability to obtain approval for our medical device products in the UK, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

In addition, the FDA regulates export of medical devices from the U.S. While the regulations of some countries may not impose significant barriers to marketing and selling our medical device or only require notification to regulators or third parties, others require that we obtain affirmative marketing authorization or certification from a notified body. Complying with foreign regulatory requirements, including obtaining registrations, certifications, clearances, or approvals, can be expensive and time-consuming, and we may not receive necessary marketing authorizations or certifications in each country in which we plan to market our device products, or we may be unable to do so on a timely basis. The time required to obtain marketing authorizations and certifications, if required by other countries, may be longer than that required for FDA marketing authorizations, and requirements for such authorizations or certifications may significantly differ from FDA requirements.

If we modify our medical device products, we may need to apply for additional marketing authorizations or certifications before we are permitted to sell the modified device or may be required to recall products we have previously modified. In addition, we may not continue to meet the quality, safety and compliance standards required to maintain the authorizations that we have received. If we are unable to maintain our marketing authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell the applicable device in that country. In the EU, once medical devices are certified under the EU Medical Devices Regulation, we must inform the notified body that carried out the conformity assessment of the medical devices that we market or sell in the EU and the EEA of any planned substantial changes to our quality system or substantial changes to our medical devices that could affect compliance with the general safety and performance requirements laid down in Annex I to the EU Medical Devices Regulation or cause a substantial change to the intended use for which the device has been CE marked. The notified body will then assess the planned changes and verify whether they affect the products’ ongoing conformity with the EU Medical Devices Regulation. If the assessment is favorable, the notified body will issue a new certificate of conformity or an addendum to the existing certificate attesting compliance with the general safety and performance requirements and quality system requirements laid down in the Annexes to the EU Medical Devices Regulation. The notified body may disagree with our proposed changes and product introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business in these countries.

Obtaining marketing authorization from the FDA does not ensure similar marketing authorization or certification by regulatory authorities or notified bodies in other countries, and registration, marketing authorization, or certification by one or more foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies does not ensure registration, marketing authorization, or certification by regulatory authorities or notified bodies in other foreign countries or by the FDA. However, a failure or delay in obtaining registration, marketing authorization, or certification in one country may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others.

Risks Related to Financial, Tax, and Accounting Matters

We may experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations, and administrative practices in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without advance notice, due to economic, political, and other conditions, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes. Our effective tax rates could be affected, potentially materially, by numerous factors, such as changes in tax, accounting, and other laws (including increases in tax rates), regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations, the mix and level of earnings in a given taxing jurisdiction, or our ownership or capital structures.

As we continue to expand internationally, our customers are subject to potential additional indirect tax costs and uncertainties. The tax rules for non-U.S. jurisdictions for imposing taxes like a value added tax or goods and services tax on virtual services offered by us are often ambiguous and are frequently inconsistent in each taxing jurisdiction. These laws, rules and regulations also are consistently evolving. The imposition of any additional such taxes or an adverse change in the application of such tax rules could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

Under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other tax attributes, including research and development tax credits, to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by “5% shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws.

If we have undergone previous ownership changes, or if we undergo an ownership change in the future, our ability to use NOLs and other tax attributes to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be limited by Section 382 of the Code and/or analogous provisions of applicable state tax law in states where we have incurred NOLs for state income tax purposes. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control, may result in an ownership change under these rules.

Changes in accounting principles and standards related to accounting for variable interest entities could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our financial statements are consolidated in accordance with applicable accounting standards and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliated professional medical corporations (such affiliated professional medical corporations are collectively, referred to as “Hinge Health Digital P.C.”), which are classified as variable interest entities. Applicable accounting standards require that, under some circumstances, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) consolidation model be applied when a reporting enterprise holds a variable interest, such as equity interests, debt obligations, certain management, and service contracts, in a legal entity. Under this model, an enterprise must assess the entity in which it holds a variable interest to determine whether it meets the criteria to be consolidated as a VIE. If the entity is a VIE, the consolidation framework next identifies the party, if one exists, that possesses a controlling financial interest in the VIE, and then requires that party to consolidate the VIE as it is the primary beneficiary. An enterprise’s determination of whether it has a controlling financial interest in a VIE requires that a qualitative determination be made, and is not solely based on voting rights.

The Company has determined that the VIE consolidation model applies to Hinge Health Digital P.C., our affiliated professional medical corporations. Such consolidation for accounting or tax purposes does not, is not intended to, and should not be deemed to, imply or provide us any control over the medical or clinical affairs of Hinge Health Digital P.C. Our determination regarding the consolidation of Hinge Health Digital P.C. could be challenged, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, in the event of a change in accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or in interpretation of its standards, or if there is an adverse determination by a regulatory agency or a court or a change in state or federal law relating to the ability to maintain our agreements or arrangements with Hinge Health Digital P.C., we may not be permitted to continue to consolidate the revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities of Hinge Health Digital P.C., which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The applicability of sales, use, and other tax laws or regulations on our business is uncertain. Adverse tax laws or regulations could be enacted, or existing laws could be applied to us or our clients, which could subject us to additional tax liability and related interest and penalties, increase the costs of our platform and programs, and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The application of federal, state, local, and international tax laws to services provided electronically is evolving. New income, sales, use, value-added, or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be enacted at any time (possibly with retroactive effect) and could be applied solely or disproportionately to services provided over the internet or could otherwise materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, state, local, and foreign tax jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value-added, and other taxes, and these rules and regulations can be complex and are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. Existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to us (possibly with retroactive effect).

One or more states may seek to impose incremental or new sales, use, value added, or other tax collection obligations that may apply to us, including to any past sales by us or our resellers and other partners. A successful assertion by a state, country, or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, value added, or other taxes on our platform and programs could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage clients, members and contracted lives from utilizing our platform and programs, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our international operations may subject us to exchange rate fluctuations and other currency risks.

Assets, liabilities, revenues, and related expenses associated with our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies. Exchange rate fluctuations between a local currency and the U.S. dollar may negatively impact the financial conditions and operating results of our international operations when converted into U.S. dollars. The reduction of our revenue as a result of exchange rate fluctuations could negatively impact our future growth prospects, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock

The price of our Class A common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, resulting in substantial losses for our investors.

The market price of our Class A common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations, and financial condition;

•the projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;

•failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow us or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

•announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, results of operations, or capital commitments;

•price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the global economy as a whole;

•changes in our board of directors or management;

•sales of large blocks of our Class A common stock, including sales by our Founders or our executive officers and directors;

•lawsuits threatened or filed against us;

•anticipated or actual changes in laws, regulations, insurance reimbursement, or government policies applicable to our business;

•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of debt or equity securities;

•short sales, hedging, and other derivative transactions involving our capital stock;

•the expiration of lock-up or market standoff agreements;

•general economic conditions in the U.S., including macroeconomic factors such as interest rate increases, inflation, and recession concerns;

•other events or factors, including those resulting from war, pandemics, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events; and

•the other factors described in this Annual Report titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of securities of companies have experienced fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to their results of operations. Market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of shares of our Class A common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of your investment. Price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of shares of our Class A common stock is low. Furthermore, in the past, stockholders have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any similar litigation against us could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, there was no public market for our Class A common stock prior to our IPO, and an active trading market for our Class A common stock may not be sustained. As a result, stockholders may be unable to resell shares of our Class A common stock at or above the purchase price, or at all.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our Class A common stock will depend on whether the price of our Class A common stock increases.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and for repurchases of our class A common stock under our share repurchase program and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Even if our board of directors declares a dividend in the future, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no dividend may be paid on our common stock unless any Series E preferred stock then outstanding first receives, or simultaneously receives, a dividend on each such outstanding share in an amount at least equal to the dividend payable on each share of Series E preferred stock determined as if all shares of such Series E preferred stock had been converted into the applicable series of common stock. Moreover, the terms of instruments relating to debt we may incur in the future may restrict our ability to pay dividends. In addition, Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends to holders of our Class A common stock. As a result, appreciation, if any, in the market price of our Class A common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

If securities or industry analysts publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or cease to publish research, or if our financial results differ from the guidance we provide to the public, the price of our Class A common stock and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business, our market, and our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts. If we fail to meet the expectations of these analysts, our stock price could be adversely affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our Class A common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class A common stock could decrease, which may cause our Class A common stock price and trading volume to decline.

In addition, the stock prices of many companies in the digital health industry have declined significantly after those companies failed to meet the financial guidance publicly announced by the companies or the expectations of analysts, and stock prices have even declined significantly after such companies exceeded, or even significantly exceeded, such guidance or expectations. If our financial results fail to meet our announced guidance or the expectations of analysts or public investors, or even if our financial results exceed, or even significantly exceed, such guidance or expectations, or if we reduce our guidance for future periods, our stock price may decline.

The dual class structure of our common stock concentrates voting control with the holders of our Class B common stock, including our Founders and their affiliates, and the holders of our Series E preferred stock. This ownership will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval.

Each share of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of our Class B common stock is entitled to 15 votes, and each share of our Series E preferred stock is entitled to 15 votes (the number of votes based on the number of shares of our Class B common stock into which such shares of our Series E preferred stock could initially be converted), except the shares of Series E preferred stock are not entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors. As of December 31, 2025, our Founders, their affiliates and stockholders who owned more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock and their respective affiliates held, in the aggregate, a substantial majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As directors, and as an officer in the case of Mr. Perez, Messrs. Perez and Mecklenburg owe a fiduciary duty to our stockholders to act in good faith in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As stockholders, Messrs. Perez and Mecklenburg are entitled to vote their shares, and shares over which they have voting control, in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.

As a result of our dual class structure, Class B common stockholders, including our Founders, and the Series E preferred stockholders, are able to significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs, particularly if they choose to act together. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together (other than the holders of our Series E preferred stock with respect to the election of directors), would control or significantly influence the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership control may:

•delay or prevent a change in control;

•entrench our management and board of directors; or

•impede a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination involving us that other stockholders may desire.

In addition, future transfers by holders of our Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of Series E preferred stock into Class B common stock and the conversion of Class B common stock into Class A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of the holders of our Series E preferred stock and the holders of our Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long term. In addition, any anti-dilution adjustments to the Series E preferred stock would increase the voting power of the holders of our Series E preferred stock as each share of our Series E preferred stock will be entitled to the number of votes based on the number of shares of our common stock into which such shares of our Series E preferred stock could be converted. As a result, it is possible that one or more of the persons or entities holding our Series E preferred stock or Class B common stock could gain significant voting control as other holders of our Class B common stock sell or otherwise convert their shares into Class A common stock, provided, however, that the shares of our Series E preferred stock do not entitle the holders of such preferred stock to vote in any election of directors until such shares are converted to our Class B common stock or Class A common stock.

Future transfers by holders of our Class B common stock and Series E preferred stock may also result in those shares converting to Class A common stock in certain circumstances, such as when such holder and its affiliates no longer beneficially own at least 50% of our capital stock that such person and its affiliates held immediately upon the IPO. Additionally, Class B common stock held by non-Founders will automatically convert to Class A common stock seven years after the Effective Time, and Class B common stock held by Founders will automatically convert to Class A common stock when such holder is no longer an employee or director of the Company. Any of these actions will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of certain holders of Series E preferred stock and the remaining holders of Class B common stock. See the risk factor titled “Shares of our Series E preferred stock originally issued to investors remain outstanding. Such shares are held by one holder of our Series E preferred stock, Tiger Global, and the holders of Series E preferred stock will retain rights that could impact the value of our Class A common stock and impact our business and operations” for additional information.

In addition, while we do not expect to issue any additional shares of our Class B common stock except upon the exercise or vesting and settlement of any Founder equity awards or conversion of shares of our Series E preferred stock, in each case outstanding as of the date of the IPO, any future issuances of Class B common stock would dilute the voting power of the holders of our Class A common stock.

We cannot predict the impact our dual class structure may have on the market price of our Class A common stock.

Our dual class structure may result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common stock, in adverse publicity, or in other adverse consequences. Certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple class share structures in certain of their indices. Accordingly, the dual class structure of our common stock would make us ineligible for inclusion in indices with such restrictions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from stock indices would likely preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Class A common stock less attractive to other investors. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms and large institutional investors have been critical of the use of multi-class structures. Such stockholder advisory firms may publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or our capital structure, which may dissuade large institutional investors from purchasing shares of our Class A common stock. As a result, the market price of our Class A common stock could be materially adversely affected.

Shares of our Series E preferred stock originally issued to investors remain outstanding. Such shares are held by one holder of our Series E preferred stock, Tiger Global, and the holder of Series E preferred stock has rights that could impact the value of our Class A common stock and impact our business and operations.

2,581,837 shares of our Series E preferred stock are outstanding and have rights that could impact the value of our Class A common stock and impact our business and operations. Subject to certain exceptions, at any time we issue additional shares of our capital stock without consideration or for consideration less than the Series E preferred stock conversion price, which is $77.46420, the Series E preferred stock conversion price will be automatically adjusted downward according to a broad-based weighted average formula. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of our Series E preferred stock will be entitled to receive out of the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders, after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets to holders of our common stock, an amount of $77.46420 per share for each then outstanding share of Series E preferred stock plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, which amount is equal to $200.0 million as of the date of this Annual Report. Further, if our board of directors declares a dividend while shares of our Series E preferred stock remain outstanding, then such shares of Series E preferred stock shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each then outstanding share of Series E preferred stock in an amount at least equal to the dividend payable on each share of Series E preferred stock determined as if all shares of such Series E preferred stock had been converted into the applicable series of common stock. The market price of our Class A common stock could be materially adversely affected by the preference rights of the Series E preferred stock. As of the date of this Annual Report, there is one holder of our Series E preferred stock, Tiger Global. However, if Tiger Global transfers any of its shares of Series E preferred stock to other holders, obtaining the requisite consent of the holders of Series E preferred stock to take certain actions may become more difficult to obtain, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

Each share of our Series E preferred stock is initially convertible at any time into one share of Class B common stock (subject to any anti-dilution adjustments) at the option of the holder and is not mandatorily redeemable. Each share of our Series E preferred stock will not be convertible into Class B common stock and will instead be convertible into Class A common stock (i) after the Class B Mandatory Conversion Time, (ii) after the date when such holder and its affiliates cease to beneficially own in the aggregate a number of shares equal to at least 50% of the capital stock that such holder and its affiliates beneficially owned as of the Effective Time and (iii) at any time that such Series E preferred stock is held by any person who did not beneficially own the Series E preferred stock as of the Effective Time. Additionally, each share of Series E preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as applicable (subject to any anti-dilution adjustment), upon the sale of our common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act where the public offering price is at least $77.46420 per share and we receive at least $100.0 million in aggregate cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. The holders of our Series E preferred stock will initially vote as though they had converted their shares into shares of our Class B common stock (which conversion ratio is subject to any anti-dilution adjustment), with 15 votes per share; provided, however, that the Series E preferred stock will not entitle such holders to vote with respect to the election of directors. As a result, the voting dynamics of our common stock in connection with the election of directors will change if and when any shares of our Series E preferred stock convert into shares of our Class B common stock. See the section titled “Description of Capital Stock” in our Prospectus for further detail on the rights and preferences of our Series E preferred stock.

Sales, directly or indirectly, of a substantial amount of our Class A common stock in the public markets by our existing security holders may cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock into the public market, and in particular sales by our directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline. Many of our existing security holders have substantial unrecognized gains on the value of the equity they hold and may take steps to sell their shares or otherwise secure or limit their risk exposure to the value of their unrecognized gains on those shares. We are unable to predict the timing or effect of such sales on the market price of our Class A common stock.

All shares of our Class A common stock sold in our IPO are freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares held by our affiliates, as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), are only be able to be sold in compliance with Rule 144.

Further, certain holders of shares of our common stock have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements for the public resale of shares of our Class A common stock or to include such shares in registration statements that we may file for us or other stockholders. We may also issue our shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition, investment, or otherwise. Any further issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.

We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value.

On November 10, 2025, our board of directors authorized the share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $250.0 million of shares of our outstanding Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had completed $65.0 million of repurchases under the program. The actual timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market and business conditions, regulatory requirements, and other considerations, all of which may be impacted by factors outside of our control. The share repurchase program could affect the trading price of our common stock, increase volatility, and any repurchases under the program could diminish our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments, or business opportunities, and other general corporate purposes. The share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, and we cannot guarantee that the share repurchase program will be fully consummated, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain, and Delaware law contains, provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. The provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws provide for the following:

•a dual class common stock structure which provides our holders of Class B common stock and our holders of Series E preferred stock with the ability to significantly influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the shares of our outstanding Class A common stock;

•a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, who can only be removed for cause, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;

•no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

•the exclusive right of our board of directors to set the size of the board of directors and to elect a director to fill a vacancy, however occurring, including by an expansion of the board of directors, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

•the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including voting or other rights or preferences, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror;

•the ability of our board of directors to adopt, amend, or repeal our amended and restated bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval;

•in addition to our board of director’s ability to adopt, amend, or repeal our amended and restated bylaws, our stockholders may adopt, amend, or repeal our amended and restated bylaws only with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all our then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors, voting together as a single class;

•the required approval of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to adopt, amend, or repeal certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;

•the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, or our CEO;

•advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us; and

•the limitation of liability of, and provision of indemnification to, our directors and officers.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we have entered or may enter into with our directors and officers provide that:

•we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

•we may, in our discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

•we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers will undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

•the rights conferred in our amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees, and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and

•we may not retroactively amend our amended and restated bylaw provisions to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees, and agents.

While we have procured directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, such insurance policies may not be available to us in the future at a reasonable rate, may not cover all potential claims for indemnification, and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. Additionally, given the significant increase in the costs of directors’ and officers’ insurance policies recently, we may subsequently decide to select lower overall policy limits or forgo insurance altogether that we would otherwise rely upon to cover applicable defense costs, settlements, and damages awards.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, and that the federal district courts of the U.S. will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that: (i) unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (A) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on our behalf of us, (B) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (C) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (D) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (ii) unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint, although there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of us will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions. Nothing in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws precludes stockholders that assert claims solely under the Exchange Act, from bringing such claims in federal court to the extent that the Exchange Act confers exclusive federal jurisdiction over such claims, subject to applicable law.

The choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our current or former directors, officers or stockholders, which may discourage such claims against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or stockholders and result in increased costs for investors to bring such a claim. We believe these provisions may benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of the DGCL and federal securities laws by chancellors and judges, as applicable, particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums, and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

General Risk Factors

Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth as well as the calculation of certain operational metrics may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, or at all.

From time to time we may provide estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth, which may prove to be inaccurate. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate, including as a result of any of the risks described in this Annual Report.

The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of addressable clients covered by our market opportunity estimates will purchase our platform and programs at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasted, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

Additionally, we calculate operational metrics using internal systems and tools that are not independently verified by any third party. These metrics may differ from estimates or similar metrics published by third parties or other companies due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which we rely. Our internal systems and tools have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including the metrics we publicly disclose on an ongoing basis. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics undercount or overcount performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data we present may not be accurate. In addition, limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the data that we measure may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which would affect our long-term strategies. If our operating metrics or our estimates are not accurate representations of our business, or if investors do not perceive our operating metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be significantly harmed, and our results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Uncertain or unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy, including those caused by inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, tariffs, ongoing conflicts around the world, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our results of operations.

Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our clients or potential clients. Negative conditions in the general economy both in the U.S. and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, inflation and efforts to control further inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, liquidity concerns at financial institutions, international trade relations, tariffs, political turmoil, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, natural catastrophes, warfare and terrorist attacks in the U.S., Europe, the Asia Pacific region, or elsewhere, could cause a decrease in business investments by existing or potential clients and negatively affect the growth of our business. To the extent there is a sustained general economic downturn, our revenue, business, and results of operations may be affected by reductions in overall spending on healthcare technology and elective healthcare. Competitors, many of whom are larger and have greater financial resources than we do, may respond to challenging market conditions by lowering prices in an attempt to attract clients for whom we compete. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability, or recovery, generally or within any particular industry.

Additionally, natural disasters or other catastrophic events may also cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, and other events beyond our control. In addition, our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, acts of terrorism, labor activism, or unrest and other geopolitical unrest could cause disruptions in our business or the global economy as a whole. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard, hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss or telecommunications failure, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational and brand harm, delays in development, lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Natural catastrophic events and man-made problems such as power disruptions, computer viruses, global pandemics, data security breaches and terrorism may disrupt our business.

We rely heavily on our network infrastructure and IT systems for our business operations. An online attack, damage as a result of civil unrest, earthquake, fire, terrorist attack, power loss, global pandemics, telecommunications failure or other similar catastrophic events could cause system interruptions, delays in accessing our service, reputational harm and loss of critical data. Such events could prevent clients and members from accessing our platform and programs. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of our data centers, or our network infrastructure or IT systems, including any errors, defects, or failures in third-party hardware, could affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and adversely affect our results of operations.

In addition, as computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, we face increased risk from these activities. These activities threaten the performance, reliability, security, and availability of our platform and programs. Any computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, phishing attacks, or other data security breaches to our systems could, among other things, harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing clients and attract new clients.

Our corporate headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has experienced both severe earthquakes and wildfires. We do not carry earthquake insurance. Furthermore, integral parties in our supply chain are similarly vulnerable to natural disasters or other sudden, unforeseen, and severe adverse events. If such an event were to affect our supply chain, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our insurance strategy may not be adequate to protect us from all business risks.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to losses resulting from general liability, consumer actions, accidents, acts of God and other claims against us, for which we may have no insurance coverage. While we currently carry commercial general liability, excess liability, workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, cyber security, and directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, we may not maintain as much insurance coverage as other competitors do, and in some cases, we may not maintain any at all. Additionally, the policies that we do have may include significant deductibles, and we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future claims against us. A loss that is uninsured or exceeds policy limits may require us to pay substantial amounts, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Certain of our executive officers have limited, or no, experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of our business. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the U.S. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the U.S. may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

We will incur significant additional costs and are subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of being a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we have and will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the listing rules of the NYSE. Stockholder activism and the level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional significant compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. The increased costs will increase our net loss or decrease our net income and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on our board committees or as executive officers.

Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our Class A common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs. In addition, our management team will need to devote substantial attention to transitioning to interacting with public company analysts and investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies, which may divert attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, including operational, research and development, and sales and marketing activities. Increases in costs incurred or diversion of management’s attention as a result of becoming a publicly traded company may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

A failure to establish and maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations.

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and to report weaknesses in such internal controls. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. The process of designing, implementing, and testing the internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this obligation is time-consuming, costly, and complicated.

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and investments to strengthen our accounting systems. If any of these new or improved controls and systems do not perform as expected, we may experience material weaknesses in our controls. Further, we may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the U.S. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which will increase our operating costs in future periods. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the U.S. may require costs greater than expected.

Additionally, current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could materially adversely affect our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could materially adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we may be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the NYSE. We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. We will be required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our second annual report on Form 10-K following the IPO.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse if it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition and could cause a decline in the trading price of our Class A common stock.

We are an “emerging growth company” and our compliance with the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions and relief from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to: being exempt from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; being exempt from any rules that could be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations or a supplement to the auditor’s report on financial statements; being subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and not being required to hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or on any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, while we are an emerging growth company, we have elected not to be required to comply with any new financial accounting standard until such standard is generally applicable to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that are not emerging growth companies or elect not to avail themselves of this provision.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in total annual revenue, which threshold is subject to adjustment; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with $700.0 million or more of equity securities held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (3) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO.

The exact implications of the JOBS Act are still subject to interpretations and guidance by the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of the JOBS Act. In addition, investors may find our Class A common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions and relief granted by the JOBS Act. If some investors find our Class A common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common stock and our stock price may decline or become more volatile.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

The nature of our business as a digital clinic, including the collection and processing of sensitive personal health information, makes us susceptible to cybersecurity attacks. To address this, we work to integrate security into every aspect of our business and maintain a cybersecurity risk management program with safeguards, certifications, policies and controls designed to protect our systems from cyber threats. Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. We design and assess our cybersecurity risk management program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (“NIST CSF”) 2.0, applicable privacy and data security laws, and regulations, including HIPAA and applicable state health privacy laws, and remain informed by industry standards and industry-recognized practices. In addition, our cyber security program is regularly evaluated by external auditors and we are currently SOC 2 Type 2, Health Information Trust Alliance Common Security Framework (“HITRUST CSF”), and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels, and governance processes that apply across our enterprise risk management program.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:

•risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment;

•a dedicated security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;

•the use of external advisors and service providers, such as third-party penetration testing firms, bug bounty programs, or auditors, to advise on, assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management, including onboarding sessions and annual refresher training to address evolving threats;

•a cybersecurity incident response plan that follows recognized frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF 2.0), outlines procedures for investigating and resolving incidents, and is supported by automated tools for threat triage and resolution; and

•a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors incorporating evaluations such as SOC 2 reports, HITRUST certifications, annual reviews, security questionnaires, and business associate agreement compliance to ensure risks are understood and addressed.

While we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity incidents, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, we face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially impact us, including our business, operations, results of operations, or financial condition. For additional information about these risks, see the risk factor titled — "We depend on our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants, and any failure or significant disruptions of these systems, security breaches, or loss of data could expose us to liability or materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition".

Cybersecurity Governance

Our board of directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity, data privacy, and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.

The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks, including threat landscape updates and the status of key security initiatives. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as regarding any incidents with lesser impact potential and regarding overall trends in the cybersecurity risks we face.

The Audit Committee reports to our board of directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full board of directors also receives quarterly briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), internal security staff, or external experts as part of the board of directors’ continuing education on topics that impact public companies.

Our CISO, Hassan Asghar, has over twenty years of experience in information security, engineering, and other technology-related roles, including experience in healthcare and other highly regulated industries. Mr. Asghar oversees our Enterprise Security and IT teams, which is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Enterprise Security team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our Enterprise Security team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, remediate, and appropriately report cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public, or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, where we lease approximately 53,000 square feet for office space, pursuant to a lease agreement that expires in September 2027, subject to the terms thereof. We also lease approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Montreal, that expires in October 2030, and we lease co-working office spaces in Bangalore and Minneapolis, as well as on-demand co-working office spaces in Seattle, New York City, Denver, Austin and Chicago, which are used as needed.

We believe that our facilities are suitable to meet our current needs. We intend to expand our facilities or add new facilities as we grow, and we believe that suitable additional or alternative spaces will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if required.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings or subject to claims and investigations in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any litigation to which the outcome, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our clients by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights, to establish our proprietary rights, or for other matters. Involvement in such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. We cannot predict the results of any such proceedings, claims, or investigations, and despite the potential outcomes, the existence thereof may have a material adverse impact on us due to diversion of management time and attention as well as the financial costs related to resolving such matters.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and other parts of this Annual Report. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Annual Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” and “Hinge Health” refer to Hinge Health, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to our “common stock” include our Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Our fiscal year ends on December 31.

Overview

Our vision is to build a new health system that transforms outcomes, experience and costs by using technology to scale and automate the delivery of care.

Hinge Health leverages software, including AI, to automate care for joint and muscle health, delivering an outstanding member experience, improved member outcomes, and cost reductions for our clients. We have designed our platform to address a broad spectrum of MSK care—from acute injury, to chronic pain, to post-surgical rehabilitation. Members receive personalized and automated MSK care through our AI-powered motion tracking technology and a proprietary electrical nerve stimulation wearable device, all designed and monitored by our AI-supported care team of licensed physical therapists, physicians, and board-certified health coaches. Our platform can help to ease members’ pain, improve their function, and reduce their need for surgeries, all while driving health equity by allowing members to engage in their exercise therapy sessions from anywhere and embrace movement as a way of life.

We believe that we grow efficiently because of our scalable, repeatable go-to-market model. We sell through our direct sales force and our partners. Once we contract with a client, we are most often the sole digital MSK care provider offered to their contracted lives for an average contract term of three years. For the term of each contract, we are able to enroll, engage, and re-engage the client’s eligible lives, driving a recurring, repeatable revenue model. As of December 31, 2025, we had over 60 partners. Our partners include the five largest national health plans by self-insured lives, and the top three PBMs by market share.

We are a research-led organization and routinely expand our platform with new programs, capabilities, and features. Over the last four years, we launched new programs to address six additional affected areas; launched Enso to deliver a non-addictive, non-invasive alternative for pain relief; developed HingeConnect for real-time targeted care support and external provider coordination; and integrated TrueMotion, our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology, to replace wearable sensors for our members. In 2022, we launched women’s pelvic health, a specialized care program within our chronic program, and, in 2023, we launched and began selling a fall prevention program for eligible lives in our Medicare Advantage population. In 2025, we launched our high-performance in-person provider network for MSK care, HingeSelect, which allows us to now provide members with end-to-end MSK care while further reducing costs for members, employers, and health plans.

Recent Developments

Initial Public Offering

In May 2025, we completed our IPO, in which we issued and sold an aggregate of 8,522,528 shares of our Class A common stock, and certain of our stockholders sold 7,193,372 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $32.00 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $255.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We used substantially all of the proceeds from the IPO to pay employee taxes for the settlement of RSUs and PRSUs. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation to provide for (i) the reclassification of all outstanding shares of our common stock (other than those held by our Founders and their affiliates) into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the reclassification of all shares of our common stock underlying outstanding equity awards under our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") (other than those held by our Founders) into shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an amendment to the 2017 Plan, (iii) the reclassification of all outstanding common stock held by our Founders and their affiliates into an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, (iv) the reclassification of all shares of the Company’s common stock underlying outstanding equity awards under our 2017 Plan held by our Founders into shares of Class B common stock pursuant to an amendment to the 2017 Plan, (v) the amendment of the terms of the outstanding Series E preferred stock, to provide that such shares are initially convertible into shares of Class B common stock, (vi) the automatic conversion and reclassification of 42,986,472 of outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock, or all outstanding shares of Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B, Series C, Series C-1, and Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, into an aggregate of 42,986,472 shares of Class B common stock, and (vii) the voluntary conversion of 1,748,504 outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock into the same amount of shares of Class B common stock.

Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 relating to our IPO (the "IPO Registration Statement"), the time based and performance vesting condition of certain RSUs and PRSUs was met, and we recognized $571.4 million of stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the service period completed by employees and service providers from the grant date through the effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement, as further described in Note 9, Common Stock, Equity Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Our Business Model

Go-to-Market Motion—Revenue Generation Process

We have rapidly grown our client base, expanding to 2,830 clients as of December 31, 2025, compared to 2,256 clients as of December 31, 2024, compared to 1,657 clients as of December 31, 2023. This expansion has given us access to an increased number of contracted lives, which grew to approximately 25 million as of December 31, 2025 from 20 million as of December 31, 2024, and 16 million as of December 31, 2023. There are two ways we increase our contracted lives: through new client additions and through accessing additional contracted lives within a current client.

The majority of our revenue is generated from clients who are self-insured employers. We are increasingly diversifying our revenue through our partners into the fully-insured employers and Medicare Advantage markets (whereby the health plan is the client and purchasing entity). Our typical sales cycle is five months between initial engagement and entering into a signed contract with a client; however, our sales cycle can be more than 12 months for larger enterprise clients and fully-insured and Medicare Advantage plans. We sell an annual subscription model, whereby clients only pay for members that engage with our programs. We primarily recognize revenue ratably over the 12 months after an eligible life becomes a member, and as such our revenue has historically been highly predictable.

Depending on a client’s needs, we have the ability to contract directly or through one of our many partners. Similarly, we are able to invoice a client directly or submit via claims through a client’s health plan. If a client chooses to pay via claims through a health plan, the cost typically comes directly out of their medical budget for the year and is embedded in their medical costs, rather than a separate discretionary budget. Allocation of the spend on Hinge Health to the client’s existing healthcare budget enables faster implementation as it avoids a potentially lengthy approval process. Our agreements with partners help us simplify contracting and implementation with clients. In 2025, the vast majority of our contracts were completed via our partners, negating the need for many clients to contract directly with us since many clients can leverage existing contracts through our partners. This is a significant strategic advantage for us as it enables implementation and launch of our platform as quickly as a few weeks after entering into a contract. As a result, most implementations are completed in a 40-100 day period.

Once our platform is launched, clients only pay for the members that engage with our programs. We typically provide various performance guarantees to our clients that may include engagement thresholds, member reported outcomes, and return on investment, where we put a portion of our fees at risk. We have historically paid an immaterial amount related to these performance guarantees. Upon onboarding, a member’s paid subscription is for one year. To increase awareness within our clients’ employee bases, we have an enrollment marketing team that engages with our partners and our clients’ human resources benefits team in targeted marketing campaigns to encourage eligible lives who would benefit from our platform to enroll.

We are able to bill our clients once an eligible life enrolls in our platform and performs a billable activity, in accordance with our clients’ billing arrangements. Some of our clients are billed for the entirety of the members’ annual subscriptions, and some are billed in milestone-based payments, based on a subscription fee per member per year. We also offer an engagement-based pricing model in which clients are billed based on an annual upfront platform fee per member plus a fee per each completed session.

The majority of new clients enter into contracts with us in the second half of each calendar year, which aligns with the typical employee benefit enrollment period. We launch our platform for most of these clients in the first half of the following calendar year. We have seen varying levels of intra-year launches since our inception. While some clients choose to sign and launch within the same year, these are generally a much smaller percentage of our business. Due to these patterns and our annual subscription-based model, the timing of our revenue has generally been predictable. Our calculated billings, however, show seasonality with fluctuations based on the timing of new client launches and number of intra-year launches. Historically, our calculated billings are highest in the second quarter of the year, as this is when we are able to bill the majority of clients who entered into contracts in the preceding year. Consequently, our free cash flow is typically highest in the second or third quarter and is usually lowest in the first quarter due to increased new client onboarding expenses preceding cash inflows in the first quarter, and slowing billings associated with the holidays in the prior fourth quarter. We anticipate that this seasonality will continue, though may fluctuate year to year, and therefore focus on LTM calculated billings as a result. Given the annual subscription model and ratable revenue recognition, however, our quarterly revenue stream has historically been highly predictable and has not displayed the same seasonality trends.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our business model delivers value for our clients by lowering MSK care costs and driving positive member outcomes. We believe that our business performance and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by many factors, including those below. While these key factors present significant opportunities, they also represent challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain and grow our business and improve our results of operations.

Ability to Grow and Retain our Client Base and Contracted Lives

Adding new clients is one of the key pillars of our growth strategy. Our partners are a key part of this effort as they assist in the self-insured employer sales process with Hinge Health as their preferred partner. This partnership model allows for simplicity and speed in the contracting and implementation of new clients, including security and IT compliance, billing, and payments, and provides for efficiency in our sales motion as well. While these partnerships are important and enhance our operational efficiency, we can and do engage directly with clients. In addition to self-insured employers, which currently make up the majority of our business, we also serve the fully-insured employers market and the Medicare Advantage and federal insurance plans markets. Our growth and financial results will depend on our ability to efficiently expand access to or acquire more contracted lives in the market segments where we plan to focus our growth efforts, as well as retain our existing clients.

Retaining our existing clients is also integral to our success. Our software-led, AI-powered delivery model aims to provide a better experience for our members and a less expensive alternative for our clients. Once we contract with a client, we are typically the sole digital MSK care provider to their contracted lives for an average contract term of three years. Our 12-month client retention rate was 97% as of December 31, 2025.

Expansion of Members within Existing Clients

We also intend to grow by expanding the number of enrollments of eligible lives within our launched clients. The long-term value of our platform to our clients increases as our clients’ eligible lives increase adoption and usage of our platform. We focus on new product adoption, targeted interventions, brand awareness and marketing, and leverage our partnerships and referrals as methods of reaching more of our eligible lives.

Innovation and Client Product Adoption

We are committed to continuous innovation at Hinge Health. We believe the market for digital MSK care is still in its early stages and intend to continue investing for long-term growth. We enable positive member outcomes and proven cost reductions by pairing AI-powered motion tracking technology and wearable pain relief and have continually driven innovations in MSK care since 2014.

These innovations include TrueMotion, our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology, Enso, our FDA-cleared, wearable device for lasting pain relief, and HingeConnect, our proprietary AI-driven database for real-time care interventions and external provider coordination. We also launched specialized care for women’s pelvic health and a fall prevention program to help adults aged 65 and older improve their physical abilities. In 2025, we launched HingeSelect, our high performance in-person provider network for MSK care. All of our programs are available in use from a single application, with members having the ability to treat multiple indications at one point.

Expansion of Client Base in New Markets

We see opportunities to expand beyond our current markets of self-insured and fully-insured employers, Medicare Advantage plans, and federal insurance plans. We currently primarily cover eligible lives within the U.S. and we are in the early stages of our global expansion. We offer our global program in multiple international countries, focused on clients that are U.S.-based multinational corporations. We are also looking to expand into additional government agencies and government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Sales Cycle and Intra-Year Launches

Given our typical sales cycle, we experience seasonality in our business that has historically resulted in higher calculated billings and related costs during certain periods. A majority of clients enter contracts with us in the second half of each calendar year, in line with the typical employee benefit enrollment period. Most of these clients are launched in the first half of the following calendar year. We have seen varying levels of intra-year launches since our inception. While some clients choose to sign and launch within the same year, these clients represent a much smaller percentage of our clients. We believe that any improvements in the speed at which we can sign and launch new clients can increase our revenue in a given year. Through strategic partnerships with health plans, PBMs, TPAs, and other ecosystem entities, we have streamlined our implementation process to enable activation in a 40–100 day period compared to what we believe is a typically much longer implementation period in healthcare.

Successful Management of Changes to Macroeconomic Conditions

We believe our business is resilient even in difficult macroeconomic conditions given our focus on delivering positive outcomes for our members and ROI for our clients. In tougher economic periods, our business continued to see substantial growth as cost management became an even higher priority for clients. Our cost base is mostly variable, and we maintain strong operational focus with efficiency improvement targets for every function within the company.

In April 2024, we announced a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”) to reduce our workforce by approximately 160 people, or approximately 10% of our workforce, to simplify our operations and better align resources with priorities. Restructuring charges were $7.5 million, which consisted of employee transition, severance payments, and employee benefits. The execution of the 2024 Restructuring Plan was completed by December 31, 2024.

Key Metrics

We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following metrics are useful in evaluating our business. We present clients and LTM calculated billings on a quarterly basis. We present members and LTM average eligible lives on an annual basis as these metrics may create an inaccurate picture of our business on a quarterly basis primarily due to timing of launches and member enrollments in a given period.


	December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
Members	782,890		532,326		370,526
LTM average eligible lives (in thousands)	20,105		15,747		12,181
Clients	2,830		2,256		1,657
LTM calculated billings (in thousands)	$	671,418	$	467,504	$	328,827

Members: Growth in the number of members is an indicator of penetration of our platform and programs within clients and expansion of our client base. This metric is a key driver of our calculated billings and provides an indication of our future revenue performance. We calculate the number of members at the end of a particular period based on the total number of eligible lives who have engaged with our platform in the last 12 months and whose engagements have been billed or are contractually eligible to be billed.

LTM Average Eligible Lives: This represents the population to whom we can market and offer our solutions. As eligible lives can fluctuate throughout the year given changes in our clients’ populations, we take the average of the clients who are live in the first quarter to those who are live at the end of the last quarter in a given 12-month period to best determine the number of lives we had access to convert into members. Our management uses LTM average eligible lives to model the business and measure the enrollment we are able to achieve within our client base.

Clients: We view this number as an important metric to assess the performance of our business as an increased number of clients drives growth, increases brand awareness, and helps provide scale to our business. Clients are defined as businesses or organizations, which we call entities, that have at least one active agreement with us at the end of a particular period. Entities that procure our platform through our partners are counted as individual clients. We do not count our partners as clients, unless they also separately have at least one active client agreement with us. When a partner has an agreement with us for their fully-insured population, that partner is deemed to be one client, despite there being multiple fully-insured employers within that entity that have access to our platform.

LTM Calculated Billings: We believe calculated billings on a last 12-months basis helps investors better understand our performance for a particular period given the seasonality in our model due to quarterly fluctuations based on the timing of new client launches and number of intra-year launches. We anticipate that this seasonality will continue and therefore focus on LTM calculated billings. Our revenue generally does not reflect this seasonality and these quarterly fluctuations given that we recognize revenue ratably over the term that members have access to our platform. LTM calculated billings are defined as total revenue, plus the change in deferred revenue, less the change in contract assets for a given 12-month period.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue is the income generated from member subscription fees paid to access our technology platform to treat and prevent MSK pain. Revenue recognition begins once a billable activity is completed and is typically ratable over the 12-month member subscription period. Due to the timing of our sales cycle, revenue from new clients contracted in a given year is largely recognized in the following year.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of costs that are related to the delivery of our platform. These costs primarily include personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation, and other related expenses for our care team, support operations personnel, and site reliability engineering personnel. Cost of revenue also includes inventory costs, which are amortized over the member’s subscription period, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, and technology support costs, which include hosting and information technology costs and amortization of internal-use software. In order to support the growth of our business and serve our members and clients, we expect our cost of revenue to increase on an absolute dollar basis as our revenue increases, and we expect our cost of revenue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis and grow on an annual basis.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue and is affected by several factors, including the timing of the acquisition of new clients and launch of our programs, our introduction of new programs, and the extent to which we can increase the efficiency of our technology through ongoing improvements, cost reduction, and operational efficiency. We expect our gross profit to increase on an absolute dollar basis over time primarily due to an increase in revenue and we expect gross margin to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation, and other related expenses for our engineering and product teams that are responsible for enhancing our platform and developing new or enhanced programs. Research and development expenses also include costs for third-party services and contractors and software-related costs. We capitalize internal-use software development costs that qualify for capitalization and appropriately reduce research and development expenses. We expect research and development expenses will increase on an absolute dollar basis as we continue to enhance our platform and develop new and enhanced programs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation, and other related expenses, internal and third-party sales commissions, and marketing and promotional expenses. We amortize third-party sales commissions and amortize a portion of internal sales commissions over the respective benefit periods. We expect sales and marketing expenses will increase on an absolute dollar basis as we continue to grow our business and expand into new markets, and we expect sales and marketing expenses will fluctuate on a quarterly basis to align with our member enrollment trends.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation, and other related expenses for finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative related teams. General and administrative expenses also include third-party professional services for outside legal and accounting services, information technology and software related costs, and other corporate related expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to grow our business and incur compliance costs associated with being a publicly-traded company, including legal, audit, insurance, and consulting fees.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consists primarily of income earned from our cash deposits held in interest-bearing accounts.

Provision For (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in U.S. federal, state, and local jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Revenue


	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2025		2024		$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Revenue	$	587,860	$	390,404	$	197,456	51	%

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $197.5 million, or 51%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth from existing clients. Due to the timing of our sales cycle, revenue from new clients contracted in a given year is largely recognized in the following year. As such, the majority of our revenue growth during the year ended December 31, 2025 came from existing clients that were contracted in 2024 or prior. The increase within existing clients was the result of retaining members within, and adding more members to, our existing client base.

Cost of Revenue


	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2025		2024		$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Cost of revenue	$	119,638	$	90,502	$	29,136	32	%

Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $29.1 million, or 32%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to an increase of $18.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily related to the satisfaction of certain vesting criteria achieved with the IPO. The increase was also due to an increase of $4.3 million in inventory costs, $4.1 million in hosting costs and $1.7 million in personnel-related costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and operating margin, and free cash flow and free cash flow margin included in this Annual Report, provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating our performance and liquidity and allows them to more readily compare our results across periods without the effect of non-cash and other items as detailed below. Additionally, our management and board of directors use our non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance and liquidity, identify trends and make strategic decisions.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Annual Report. For example, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to gross profit, gross margin, income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Margin

We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash, non-operational and non-recurring items, including excess and obsolete inventory charges related to our AI-powered motion tracking technology transition, stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring and other expenses. We define non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.

The principal limitation of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements, including non-cash expenses, and the impact of non-recurring charges that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing core operations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin to gross profit and gross margin, which are the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025			2024
	(in thousands, except percentages)
GAAP gross profit	$	468,222		$	299,902
GAAP gross margin	80		%	77		%

As part of this shift, we began to provide access to our platform through our app on members’ personal smartphones or tablets and replaced all sensors for members with our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology.

(2)For further stock-based compensation expense details, see the section titled “Non-GAAP Income (Loss) From Operations and Operating Margin” below.

Non-GAAP Income (Loss) From Operations and Operating Margin

We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash, non-operational and non-recurring items, including excess and obsolete inventory charges related to our AI-powered motion tracking technology transition, stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other expenses and acquisition-related expenses. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP income (loss) from operations divided by revenue.

The principal limitation of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP operating margin is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements, including non-cash expenses, and the impact of non-recurring charges that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing core operations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and operating margin to income (loss) from operations and operating margin, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP:

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash used for employer payroll taxes at IPO related to stock-based compensation and less purchases of property, equipment and software (including capitalized internal-use software). We believe that free cash flow is a helpful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated or used by our operations that, after taking into account the employer payroll taxes paid as part of the vesting of shares at IPO as well as investments in property, equipment and software (including capitalized internal-use software), can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and strengthening our financial position. The principal limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. We define free cash flow margin as free cash flow divided by revenue.

The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow and free cash flow margin to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and operating cash flow margin, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025			2024
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	171,441		$	49,002
Operating cash flow margin	29		%	13		%
Adjustment for employer taxes at IPO related to stock-based compensation	14,227			—
Less purchases of property, equipment and software (including capitalized internal use software)	(6,064)			(3,773)
Free cash flow	$	179,604		$	45,229
Free cash flow margin	31		%	12		%

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations primarily through net proceeds from the sale of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and payments received from our clients. In May 2025 we completed our IPO and received aggregate proceeds of $255.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We used substantially all of the proceeds from the IPO to pay employee taxes for the settlement of RSUs and PRSUs.

As of December 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $208.0 million, and marketable securities of $269.0 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts, money market accounts, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase. Our marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, government agency securities, and commercial paper. Our primary uses of cash are personnel-related, inventory and selling, marketing and related costs.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, headcount, sales and marketing activities, research and development activities, the introduction of new features and programs, and acquisitions. If we require additional capital, we may not be able to raise such capital on reasonable terms, or at all.

This primarily related to our net loss of $528.3 million and net cash outflows of $2.0 million due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, adjusted for non-cash charges of $701.7 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by an increase in deferred commissions of $63.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $26.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $15.8 million, and an increase in inventory of $4.8 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $83.2 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $29.4 million. The changes were primarily due to the growth of our business, timing of cash receipts from clients, and timing of cash payments to our vendors.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This primarily related to our net loss of $11.9 million and net cash inflows of $13.5 million due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, adjusted for non-cash charges of $47.4 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by an increase in deferred revenue of $77.2 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred commissions of $38.5 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $11.0 million, an increase in prepaid and other assets of $9.2 million, and a decrease in lease liabilities of $4.7 million. The changes in our operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to the growth of our business, timing of cash receipts from clients, and timing of cash payments to our vendors.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $113.8 million for the year ended December 31. 2025, driven by net purchases of marketable securities of $103.7 million, $6.1 million used for purchases of property, equipment and capitalized internal-use software and $4.0 million used to purchase a business.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, driven by net proceeds from marketable securities of $22.1 million, offset in part by $3.8 million used for purchases of property, equipment and capitalized internal-use software

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $150.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, consisting of $295.2 million used for employee taxes related to the net settlement of RSUs and PRSUs, $65.0 million related to the Share Repurchase Program described below, $50.0 million related to the repurchase of Series E preferred stock and payments of deferred offering costs of $10.3 million, partially offset by proceeds of $255.7 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with the IPO, net of issuance costs, $8.1 million in proceeds from our employee share purchase plan, $4.9 million in proceeds related to the repayment of non-recourse loans and $1.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, consisting of $2.8 million paid for deferred offering costs related to our pending initial public offering, partially offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.

Cash Management

We manage our operating cash activities through banking relationships with our domestic and international subsidiaries. We diversify our cash deposits across well-established financial institutions to reduce our exposure to counterparty and concentration risk.

We expect a continued increase in our cash balances as our business continues to grow. We expect to maintain a diversified cash management strategy to primarily include money market funds, highly-liquid debt instruments such as U.S. treasury securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, government agency securities, and commercial paper to reduce our exposure on banking deposits.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 10, 2025, our board of directors approved a Share Repurchase Program with authorization to purchase up to $250.0 million of our Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had repurchased an aggregate of 1,384,485 shares of our Class A common stock under the share repurchase program and had a remaining authorization of approximately $185.0 million for future share repurchases.

Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of our board of directors. We expect to fund repurchases with existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations.

Lease Obligations

We enter into various non-cancellable lease agreements for certain office space in the normal course of business. Our non-cancellable lease obligations as of December 31, 2025 were $8.0 million, of which $4.2 million is payable within 12 months.

Other Contractual Obligations

We enter into various non-cancellable agreements with marketing vendors and various service providers. Our noncancellable obligations as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not material for disclosure purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the years presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

An accounting policy is deemed critical if it is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. An accounting estimate is deemed critical where the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and the impact of the estimate on our financial condition or operating performance is material.

We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. For further information of the below critical accounting policies and estimates and our other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Revenue Recognition

We earn revenue from subscription fees by providing access to our platform and programs to treat and prevent MSK pain. We currently sell our subscriptions to our clients and we generate substantially all of our revenue primarily in the U.S.

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 establishes a principle for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to our customers, which primarily consists of businesses, organizations or partners that have an agreement (collectively, “clients”), in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Further, our members represent an eligible life who has engaged with our platform at any point and whose engagement has been billed or is contractually eligible to be billed.

We apply the principles of ASC 606 and determines revenue recognition by applying the following five steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•Determination of the transaction price;

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

We determine that we have a contract with a customer: (1) when the contract has been approved by us and the client; (2) we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and the payment terms for the services; and (3) we have determined that the client has the ability and intent to pay, and (4) our members have engaged with the platform. We apply judgment in determining the client’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the client’s payment history or, new client reputation and relationship with a health plan partner, as applicable. Our typical contracts have a stated contractual term of three years, however for revenue recognition purposes, the contractual period is one year to align with the member subscription period as there are no enforceable rights and obligations until a subscription period for a member commences upon a first billable activity. After the initial stated contractual term, our contracts renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless notice of termination is given by the customer or by us.

The contracts contain a number of promised goods and services, including access to our platform, technical support, as well as our peripheral products, which includes the Enso device. We have determined our contracts contain three performance obligations which are provided to members; (1) access to the platform that is delivered over time; (2) technical support which is delivered in the same pattern using the output method; and (3) the peripheral products, when and if sent as a part of its platform. As the platform and technical support are provided to the client concurrently over the contract term and have the same pattern of transfer, we have concluded that these performance obligations represent one performance obligation consisting of a series of distinct services over the contract term.

We may provide the Enso device as part of its platform, which remains the legal property of us during the contract term. We determine whether the Enso device is sent to members based on criteria that it controls. If the Enso device is sent to a member as part of our platform, it constitutes a lease component as this device remains the property of us and the member has the right to direct the use of the device during the contract term. Delivery of the device causes a change to the scope of the contract, as both our and our clients’ rights have changed. We account for this change as a contract modification resulting in the termination of the old contract and the start of a new contract. Our Enso device qualifies to be accounted for as an operating lease and the pattern of delivery from contract modification date to contract termination is consistent with the timing for non-lease components in the contract. For these client arrangements where the Enso device is leased in combination with services, we consider the arrangement to be predominately a service and thus a combined single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition.

The transaction price is a fixed annual fee or a variable fee based on member engagement activity during a service period. Our contracts are billed either (a) after a member’s first completed billing activity for fixed annual fee contracts, (b) throughout the service period upon the achievement of cohort milestones, or (c) throughout the service period based upon member engagement activity. When the billable volume varies based upon the achievement of cohort milestones or member engagement activity, the consideration is variable at the time the contract is entered into. When the billable amount varies we estimate the variable consideration per member using the expected value method. The estimate is based on our historical experience with average member usage and cohort milestone achievement and is refreshed quarterly to ensure that a significant reversal in revenue will not occur and the estimates of billable amounts and constraints are adjusted for changes in member behavior over time. To the extent we cannot estimate with reasonable certainty the likelihood that the variable consideration will be achieved, we constrain this portion of the transaction price and recognize it when or as the uncertainty is resolved. Based on historical achievement or member engagement experience and quarterly lookbacks, we adjust revenue when the uncertainty has been resolved. If the actual amounts of consideration received differ from its estimates, we adjust reported revenue in the period such variances become known. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 changes to estimated variable consideration were not material.

Members have access to our platform for a 12-month subscription term that begins after the individual has completed their first billable activity on the platform. We do not earn any fees until this point. We recognize revenue for each member ratably over the 12-month member subscription period in order to match the pattern of revenue recognition to the pattern of costs incurred in delivering its platform.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing. A majority of our clients are billed upfront or throughout the first quarter of the member’s subscription period. Our performance obligations are satisfied within 12 months of the member’s first billable activity. Our contracts do not contain significant financing components.

Additionally, certain performance guarantees are included in most contracts and are estimated at each reporting period based on our historical performance or other available information. We recognize any estimated adjustments to the contract price for not achieving the performance guarantees as an adjustment to revenue. Payouts on these performance guarantees have been immaterial to date.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure stock-based compensation awards, including stock options and RSUs, PRSUs and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We record stock-based compensation expense for awards issued to employees and non-employees at fair value with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. Post IPO, we recognize compensation expenses on a straight-line attribution or accelerated attribution method. We recognize forfeitures when they occur. We have not granted stock options since March 2021.

Prior to the completion of the IPO, RSUs vested upon the occurrence of both a service-based condition and a liquidity event. Post IPO, RSUs vest upon the occurrence of a service condition. We started recognizing compensation cost on May 22, 2025, when our registration statement became effective and we recorded the expense for these awards using the accelerated attribution method over the remaining service period because the liquidity-based vesting condition was determined to be probable. The fair value of each RSU grant is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Prior to the completion of the IPO, PRSUs granted are subject to not only a service-based, but also a performance-based vesting condition. Post IPO, PRSUs granted are subject to vest upon achieving a performance condition. The performance condition includes various milestones based on market capitalization thresholds or revenue targets as well as the occurrence of a liquidity event. We started recognizing compensation cost on May 22, 2025, when our registration statement became effective and we recorded the expense for these awards using the accelerated attribution method over the remaining service period because the liquidity-based vesting condition was determined to be probable. The fair market value of the market condition PRSU grants are based on the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the market condition, the term of the awards, and the expected common share volatilities. The fair value of each PRSU grant with no market condition is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

The RSAs are considered issued because they are legally issued and have voting and dividends rights. The shares are included in the outstanding common stock on the statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheets but are excluded in the calculation of basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss prior to 2025 because the shares are considered to be contingently returnable shares for accounting purposes.

Prior to our Class A common stock trading on the NYSE, we were required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock awards. Significant judgment was required in determining the fair value of our common stock. Given the absence of an active market for our common stock prior to the IPO, management was required to estimate the fair value of our common stock at the time of each grant of a stock-based compensation award. We utilized various valuation methodologies in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of our common stock. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions that require our judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors in determining the value of our common stock at each grant date, including the following factors:

•Prices paid for our capital stock, which we have sold to outside investors in arm's-length transactions, considering the rights and privileges of the securities sold relative to the common stock;

•Prices paid for shares of our common stock sold in secondary market transactions;

•Valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist;

•Our stage of development and revenue growth;

•The market performance of comparable publicly traded companies;

•Adjustments necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for the common stock underlying the granted RSUs, PRSUs and RSAs;

•The likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for common stock underlying the stock-based awards, such as an IPO or sale of us, given prevailing market conditions; and

•The U.S. and global economic and capital market conditions and outlook.

Common Stock Valuation

Prior to our Class A common stock trading on the NYSE, we were required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock awards. Because our common stock was not publicly traded, our management exercised significant judgment in determining the fair value of our common stock on the date of each grant. In determining the fair market value of our common stock, our management considered several objective and subjective factors, as noted above, with input from management and assistance from an independent third-party valuation firm.

In valuing our common stock, we first determined the equity value using both the income and market approach valuation methods. In addition, we also considered values implied by sales of preferred and common stock, if applicable. We then allocated the equity value to our classes of stock using an option pricing method.

The income approach estimated equity value based on the expectation of future cash flows that we will generate. These future cash flows, and an assumed terminal value, are discounted to their present values using a discount rate based on a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects the risks inherent in the cash flows. The market approach estimated equity value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business as us. From the comparable companies, a representative market value multiple was determined and then applied to our financial forecasts.

Once we determined an equity value, we used a combination of approaches to allocate the equity value to each of our classes of stock. We have used an option pricing model, which allocates values to each equity class by creating a series of call options on our equity value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences, participation rights, and strike prices of the equity instruments. In determining the estimated fair value of our common stock, we considered the fact that our stockholders could not freely trade our common stock in the public markets. Accordingly, we also applied a lack of marketability discount to the equity value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one yet, of their potential impact on our financial condition of results of operations.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for so long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that would have been applicable were we a public company that was not an emerging growth company. Such exemptions include, but are not limited to, the exemption to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, the exemption from holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and the exemption from stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. If we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to take advantage of these exemptions or the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position because of adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of exposure resulting from potential changes in interest rates or exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2025, we had $208.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $269.0 million of marketable securities. Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities consist of cash held in readily available checking, money market accounts, U.S. treasury securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, government agency securities, and commercial paper. As of December 31, 2025, we did not hold any financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would have a $1.0 million impact on our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Foreign Currency

We have employees and contract with vendors in foreign countries, primarily in India and Canada. We are therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with these agreements. Given our exposure to these fluctuations is only applicable to a small portion of our expenses, we do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant.

We report gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in other income in the statement of operations. The impact of foreign currency costs on our operations has been immaterial for all periods presented, but we may experience material foreign exchange gains or losses in the future. As of December 31, 2025, a 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Hinge Health, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hinge Health, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Hinge Health Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

Hinge Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries and consolidated professional corporations (collectively, “Hinge Health” or the “Company”) is focused on scaling and automating the delivery of health care, starting with musculoskeletal conditions. Leveraging an AI-powered care model, wearable devices, and access to expert clinicians, Hinge Health delivers personalized, evidence-based care that helps people move beyond pain, improving member outcomes and experiences and reducing costs for clients. The Company’s clients are primarily self-insured employers. The Company’s members represent an eligible life who has engaged with the Company’s platform at any point and whose engagement has been billed or is contractually eligible to be billed.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in March 2016 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, India and the UK that provide research and development support.

Completion of Initial Public Offering

In May 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO") of shares of Class A common stock. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation which provided for (i) the reclassification of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (other than those held by Daniel Perez and Gabriel Mecklenburg (“Founders”) and their affiliates) into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the reclassification of all shares of the Company’s common stock underlying outstanding equity awards under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) (other than those held by the Founders) into shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an amendment to the 2017 Plan, (iii) the reclassification of all outstanding common stock held by the Founders and their affiliates into an equal number of shares of Class B common stock, (iv) the reclassification of all shares of the Company’s common stock underlying outstanding equity awards under the 2017 Plan held by the Founders into shares of Class B common stock pursuant to an amendment to the 2017 Plan, (v) the amendment of the terms of the Company’s outstanding Series E redeemable convertible preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series E preferred stock”), to provide that such shares are initially convertible into shares of Class B common stock (collectively, referred to as the “Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock Reclassification”), (vi) the automatic conversion and reclassification of 42,986,472 of outstanding shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock, or all outstanding shares of Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B, Series C, Series C-1, and Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, into an aggregate of 42,986,472 shares of Class B common stock (collectively, referred to as the “General Preferred Stock Conversion and Reclassification”), and (vii) the voluntary conversion of 1,748,504 outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock into the same amount of shares of Class B common stock (together with the General Preferred Stock Conversion and Reclassification, referred to as the “Preferred Stock Conversion”). The Company used substantially all of the proceeds from the IPO to pay employee taxes on the RSUs and performance restricted stock unit settlement.

Prior to the IPO, deferred offering costs, which consisted of accounting, legal and other fees directly related to the IPO, were capitalized as other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the IPO, $14.0 million of deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of the net proceeds received from the IPO.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding financial reporting. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its affiliated professional medical corporations. The Company’s affiliated professional medical corporations are collectively, referred to as Hinge Health Digital P.C.

107

Hinge Health Digital P.C. contracts with or otherwise employs physicians, physical therapists and other licensed health professionals in order to provide services to the Company’s clients, and under certain management services agreements, the Company serves as the exclusive manager and administrator of Hinge Health Digital P.C.’s non-clinical functions and services. Hinge Health Digital P.C. is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has the rights and power to control the activities of Hinge Health Digital P.C. and as a result the Company consolidates the activities of Hinge Health Digital P.C.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total assets of the VIE, all of which are current, were $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and total liabilities, all of which are current, were $1.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, after the elimination of intercompany transaction balances.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Significant items that require estimates include, but are not limited to, variable consideration to recognize revenue, inventory valuation, estimated credit losses, income taxes, capitalized internal-use software development costs, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO and stock-based compensation. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined by the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates to public and private companies until the earlier of the date that (i) the company is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) the company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. The primary focus of the Company’s investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. The Company’s investment policy addresses the level of credit exposure by limiting the concentration in any one corporate issuer and establishing a minimum allowable credit rating. To manage risk exposure, the Company invests cash equivalents and marketable securities in a variety of fixed income securities, including government and investment-grade debt securities and money market funds. The Company places its cash primarily in checking and money market accounts with reputable financial institutions. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any.

The Company monitors accounts receivable for uncollectible accounts on an ongoing basis. No client represented greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Additionally, no client represented greater than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. For the purpose of assessing the concentration of credit risk for significant clients, the Company defines a client as a business or organization that purchases access to the Company’s platform directly from the Company or indirectly through one of the Company’s partners.

108

The Company is subject to supplier concentration risk from third-party suppliers that supply its inventory. The Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of third-party suppliers to supply its inventory requirements. The Company’s inventory and ability to provide its peripheral Enso device product to members could be adversely affected by a significant interruption from these third-party suppliers.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company has subsidiaries in Canada, India and the UK that provide research and development support. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date with differences recorded as transaction gains and losses within other income, net. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses were immaterial for the years presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs: Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, money market funds and credit and debit card transactions. The Company's cash balance at financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage limit. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consisted of cash used as collateral to a letter of credit issued by a bank in favor of the Company in connection with a lease agreement, which totaled $1.8 million as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The restricted cash is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

109

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, government agency securities, and commercial paper. The Company has designated all marketable securities as available-for-sale and, therefore, marketable securities are subject to periodic impairment under the available-for-sale debt security impairment model. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities (including those classified as current assets) shall be excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive loss until realized, except when available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position are written down to fair value through a charge to interest income if the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company evaluates the remaining securities to determine what amount of the excess, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. A decline in fair value attributable to expected credit losses is recorded to other income, net, while any portion of the loss related to non-credit factors is recorded in unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities.

Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the related security and such amortization and accretion are included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

For securities sold prior to maturity, the cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities, are recorded in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances, net of allowances for credit losses. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to bill and receive payment regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. Unbilled receivables include contractually billable invoices that are not yet billed. Amounts that the Company has a contractual right to bill or has billed are non-refundable, unless certain performance conditions are not met per the contract.

Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was composed of the following (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Billed accounts receivable	$	51,037	$	37,658
Unbilled accounts receivable	21,116		11,307
Allowance for credit losses	(6,092)		(6,470)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	66,061	$	42,495

Allowances for credit losses are provided for those outstanding balances considered to be uncollectible based on the age of each outstanding invoice, historical collection history and the client’s expected ability to pay. Balances that are still outstanding after management has made reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for credit losses during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were composed of the following (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
Balance, beginning of year	$	6,470	$	3,439	$	983
Provision for credit losses	3,061		5,410		4,857
Write-off for credit losses, net	(3,439)		(2,379)		(2,401)
Balance, end of year	$	6,092	$	6,470	$	3,439

110

Inventory

Inventory consists of peripheral products, which primarily includes the Company’s kits and Enso device. Inventory is stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory is based on a standard cost method, which approximates the actual cost on a first-in first-out basis. Inventory that is obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Inherent in the estimates of market value in determining inventory valuation are estimates related to market and economic conditions, technology changes, new product introductions and changes in strategic direction. Inventory write-downs are recognized as cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Deferred Inventory Costs

Deferred inventory costs are primarily comprised of the Company’s kits and Enso device, which are sent to members. The Company amortizes the costs associated with the kits and devices over the member subscription period, consistent with the transfer to the member of the service to which the kits and devices relate. These costs are amortized ratably over the member subscription period and are included in cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Deferred inventory costs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $19.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively, which were recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes deferred offering costs related to its IPO, which consists of direct incremental legal, professional, accounting, and other third-party fees. Deferred offering costs of $14.0 million were initially deferred in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and upon the completion of the IPO were reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) against the proceeds from the IPO.

Deferred Commissions

The Company has determined that certain sales incentives provided to the Company’s sales team and payments related to partnership agreements are required to be capitalized when the Company expects to generate future economic benefits from the related revenue-generating contracts subsequent to the initial sales transaction. When determining the economic life of the deferred commission assets recognized, the Company considers historical renewal rates, expectations of future client renewals of contracts, and other factors that could impact the economic benefits that the Company expects to generate from the relationship with its clients. Deferred commissions are amortized over the 12-month member subscription period for partner commissions and estimated five-year client period of benefit for sales commissions and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

A summary of the activity of the Company’s deferred commission balances during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Balance, beginning of year	$	24,078	$	15,479
Capitalized costs	63,579		38,512
Amortized costs	(46,667)		(29,913)
Balance, end of year	$	40,990	$	24,078
Classified as:
Deferred commissions	$	31,344	$	18,615
Other assets	9,646		5,463
Balance	$	40,990	$	24,078

111

Property, Equipment, and Software, Net

Property, equipment, and software are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line basis. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. The estimated useful lives for machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures span over five years and computer software and equipment over three years. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements span over the lesser of the lease term or useful life.

The Company classifies internal-use software in property, equipment, and software. Internal-use software is capitalized during the application development stage and includes eligible employee salaries and compensation related costs as well as costs incurred in developing new features and enhancements when the costs will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of three years and are included in cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Capitalization begins when (1) the preliminary project stage is complete, (2) management with appropriate authority, authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, (3) it is probable the project will be completed, (4) the software will be used to perform the functions intended, and (5) certain functional and quality standards have been met. Costs related to planning and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually, and more frequently when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that it operates its business as one reporting unit and the Company completes its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter. In the event that the Company determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the reporting unit’s carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge will be incurred for the amount of the difference during the period in which the determination is made.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. In the event that the Company determines that the fair value of a long-lived asset is less than the carrying value, the Company will incur an impairment charge.

The Company did not record any impairment on goodwill or long-lived asset during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Leases

Leases are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under its lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and accounts for them together as a single lease component, which increases the amount of the Company’s right-of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred, and are immaterial and not included in the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The Company’s lease terms include a period with options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will either exercise the option to extend the lease or not exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets are adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives.

112

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to record leases with an original term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet and recognizes those lease payments in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for long-lived assets.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts which the Company has billed or can contractually bill from subscription services and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria is met.

The following table summarizes the changes in the balances of deferred revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):


	December 31,

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied within 12 months of a member performing their first billable activity. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the deferred revenue balance was composed entirely of noncancellable performance obligations that will be satisfied within 12 months.

The Company recognized revenue of $216.0 million and $138.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was included in deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods.

Revenue

The Company earns revenue from subscription fees by providing access to its platform and programs to treat and prevent MSK pain. The Company currently sells all its subscriptions to its clients and generates substantially all of its revenue in the U.S.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 establishes a principle for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers, which primarily consists of businesses, organizations or partners that have an agreement (collectively, “clients”), in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Further, the Company’s members represent an eligible life who has engaged with the Company’s platform at any point and whose engagement has been billed or is contractually eligible to be billed.

The Company applies the principles of ASC 606 and determines revenue recognition by applying the following five steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•Determination of the transaction price;

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

113

The Company determines it has a contract with a customer: (1) when the contract has been approved by the Company and the client; (2) it can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and the payment terms for the services; (3) it has determined that the client has the ability and intent to pay, and (4) its members have engaged with the platform. The Company applies judgment in determining the client’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the client’s payment history or, new client reputation and relationship with a health plan partner, as applicable. The Company’s typical contracts have a stated contractual term of three years, however for revenue recognition purposes, the contractual period is one year to align with the member subscription period as there are no enforceable rights and obligations until a subscription period for a member commences upon a first billable activity. After the initial stated contractual term, the Company’s contracts renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless notice of termination is given by the client or the Company.

The contracts contain a number of promised goods and services, including access to the Company’s platform, technical support, as well as the Company’s peripheral products, which includes the Enso device. The Company has determined its contracts contain three performance obligations which are provided to members; (1) access to the platform that is delivered over time; (2) technical support which is delivered in the same pattern using the output method; and (3) the peripheral products, when and if sent as a part of its platform. As the platform and technical support are provided to the client concurrently over the contract term and have the same pattern of transfer, the Company has concluded that these performance obligations represent one performance obligation consisting of a series of distinct services over the contract term.

The Company may provide the Enso device as part of its platform, which remains the legal property of the Company during the contract term. The Company determines whether the Enso device is sent to members based on criteria that it controls. If the Enso device is sent to a member as part of the Company’s platform, it constitutes a lease component as this device remains the property of the Company and the member has the right to direct the use of the device during the contract term. Delivery of the device causes a change to the scope of the contract, as both the Company’s and clients’ rights have changed. The Company accounts for this change as a contract modification resulting in the termination of the old contract and the start of a new contract. The Company’s Enso device qualifies to be accounted for as an operating lease and the pattern of delivery from contract modification date to contract termination is consistent with the timing for non-lease components in the contract. For these client arrangements where the Enso device is leased in combination with services, the Company considers the arrangement to be predominately a service and thus a combined single performance obligation for purposes of revenue recognition.

The transaction price is a fixed annual fee or a variable fee based on member engagement activity during a service period. The Company’s contracts are billed either (a) after a member’s first completed billing activity for fixed annual fee contracts, (b) throughout the service period upon the achievement of cohort milestones, or (c) throughout the service period based upon member engagement activity. When the billable volume varies based upon the achievement of cohort milestones or member engagement activity, the consideration is variable at the time the contract is entered into. When the billable amount varies the Company estimates the variable consideration per member using the expected value method. The estimate is based on the Company’s historical experience with average member usage and cohort milestone achievement and is refreshed quarterly to ensure that a significant reversal in revenue will not occur and the estimates of billable amounts and constraints are adjusted for changes in member behavior over time. To the extent the Company cannot estimate with reasonable certainty the likelihood that the variable consideration will be achieved, the Company constrains this portion of the transaction price and recognizes it when or as the uncertainty is resolved. Based on historical achievement or member engagement experience and quarterly lookbacks, the Company adjusts revenue when the uncertainty has been resolved. If the actual amounts of consideration received differ from its estimates, the Company adjusts reported revenue in the period such variances become known. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 changes to estimated variable consideration were not material.

Members have access to the Company’s platform for a 12-month subscription term that begins after the individual has completed their first billable activity on the platform. The Company does not earn any fees until this point. The Company recognizes revenue for each member ratably over the 12-month member subscription period in order to match the pattern of revenue recognition to the pattern of costs incurred in delivering its platform.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing. A majority of the Company’s clients are billed upfront or throughout the first quarter of the member’s subscription period. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied within 12 months of the member’s first billable activity. The Company’s contracts do not contain significant financing components.

114

Additionally, certain performance guarantees are included in most contracts and are estimated at each reporting period based on the Company’s historical performance or other available information. The Company recognizes any estimated adjustments to the contract price for not achieving the performance guarantees as an adjustment to revenue. Payouts on these performance guarantees have been immaterial to date.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of costs that are related to the delivery of the Company’s platform. These costs primarily include personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation and other related expenses for the Company’s care team, support operations personnel, and site reliability engineering personnel. Cost of revenue also includes inventory costs, which are amortized over the member’s subscription period, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, and technology support costs, which include hosting and information technology costs, and amortization of internal-use software.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation and other related expenses for the Company’s engineering and product teams that are responsible for enhancing its platform and developing new or enhanced programs. Research and development expenses also include costs for third-party services and contractors and software-related costs. The Company capitalizes internal-use software development costs that qualify for capitalization and appropriately reduces research and development expenses.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation and other related expenses, internal and third-party sales commissions, and marketing and promotional expenses. The Company amortizes third-party sales commissions and a portion of internal sales commissions over the respective benefit periods.

Advertising costs, which are expensed and included in sales and marketing expenses during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $53.6 million, $37.3 million, and $23.8 million, respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including employee salaries, stock-based compensation and other related expenses for finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative related teams. General and administrative expenses also include third-party professional services for outside legal and accounting services, information technology and software related costs, and other corporate related expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures stock-based compensation awards, including stock options and RSUs, performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for awards issued to employees and non-employees at fair value with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. Post IPO, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line attribution or accelerated attribution method. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The Company has not granted stock options since March 2021.

Prior to the completion of the IPO, RSUs vested upon the occurrence of both a service-based condition and a liquidity event. Post IPO, RSUs vest upon the occurrence of a service condition. The Company started recognizing compensation cost on May 22, 2025, when its registration statement became effective and it recorded the expense for these awards using the accelerated attribution method over the remaining service period because the liquidity-based vesting condition was determined to be probable. The fair value of each RSU grant is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of approval.

115

Prior to the completion of the IPO, PRSUs granted are subject to not only a service-based, but also a performance-based vesting condition. Post IPO, PRSUs granted are subject to vest upon achieving a performance condition. The performance condition includes various milestones based on market capitalization thresholds or revenue targets as well as the occurrence of a liquidity event. The Company started recognizing compensation cost on May 22, 2025, when its registration statement became effective and it recorded the expense for these awards using the accelerated attribution method over the remaining service period because the liquidity-based vesting condition was determined to be probable. The fair market value of market condition PRSU grants are based on the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates multiple valuation assumptions, including the probability of achieving the market condition, the term of the awards, and the expected common share volatilities. The fair value of the non market based PRSU grant is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of approval.

RSAs are considered issued because they are legally issued and have voting and dividend rights. The underlying shares are included in the Company’s outstanding common stock on the statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheet but are excluded in the calculation of basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss because the shares are considered to be contingently returnable shares for accounting purposes.

Given the absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock, prior to completion of the IPO, management was required to estimate the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of each grant of a stock-based compensation award. The Company utilized various valuation methodologies in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of its common stock. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions that required the Company’s judgment. These estimates and assumptions included a number of objective and subjective factors in determining the value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date, including the following factors:

•Prices paid for the Company's capital stock, which we have sold to outside investors in arm's-length transactions, considering the rights and privileges of the securities sold relative to the common stock;

•Prices paid for shares of the Company's common stock sold in secondary market transactions;

•Valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist;

•The Company's stage of development and revenue growth;

•The market performance of comparable publicly traded companies;

•Adjustments necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for the common stock underlying the granted RSUs, PRSUs and RSAs;

•The likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for common stock underlying the stock-based awards, such as an IPO or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions; and

•The U.S. and global economic and capital market conditions and outlook.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized based on the weighting of positive and negative evidence. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law. The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The Company’s judgments regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute its business plans. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

116

The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, solely based on its technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company has become involved in claims and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise. The Company records a loss contingency when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses material contingencies when it is believed a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires the Company to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has elected to apply the qualitative approach in determining whether an amendment to, or exchange of, an equity-classified redeemable convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) constitutes a modification or extinguishment when the Preferred Stock is not reclassified as a liability.

On February 18, 2025, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement (“Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with Coatue US 70 LLC and Coatue Growth Fund IV LP (collectively, “Coatue”), a holder of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Company repurchased shares of Series E preferred stock from Coatue US 70 LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million (“Series E Repurchase”). The closing of the IPO was not conditioned upon the completion of the Series E Repurchase. Concurrently with the Stock Repurchase Agreement, the Company entered into a participation letter with Coatue, pursuant to which Coatue had the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the Company at the IPO price an aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock in the Company’s IPO up to 5% of the shares of Class A common stock offered in the IPO. Additionally, Coatue voluntarily converted all of its remaining shares of Series E preferred stock into shares of Class B common stock immediately prior to the completion of the IPO and consented to convert and reclassify its shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Class B common stock effective immediately prior to the completion of the IPO.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a deemed contribution of $104.2 million upon the extinguishment of Series D and E Preferred Stock charged to additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2025 the Company repurchased 833,333 shares and paid Coatue $50.0 million which is reflected as a conversion from preferred stock to common stock in the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit).

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders of such stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends on an as-converted basis, in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred stock as the holders of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Under the two-class method, net income is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company has reported net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and, accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities and Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as Level 1 financial instruments are composed of U.S. treasury securities and money market funds. Level 1 financial instruments are in active markets using unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments.

118

The Company’s marketable securities classified as Level 2 financial instruments are composed of investment-grade corporate and government agency securities and commercial paper. Level 2 financial instruments are not in active markets but are from a primary professional pricing source that uses quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. Fair values obtained from this professional pricing source can also be based on pricing models whereby all significant observable inputs, including maturity dates, issue dates, settlement dates, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers or other market related data, are observable or can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset. The Company validates the quoted market prices provided by its primary pricing service by comparing the fair values of its Level 2 marketable securities portfolio balance provided by its primary pricing service against the fair values provided by the Company’s marketable security managers.

The Company valued the modification on the Stock Repurchase Agreement, which was accounted for as an extinguishment using Level 3 inputs in the valuation hierarchy due to the presence of significant unobservable inputs and was valued at $104.2 million.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 securities during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the fair value hierarchy level consisted of the following (in thousands):
