Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release uses non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (GAAP). For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including the limitations of such measures, and for a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

Moreover, we have not reconciled our non-GAAP income (loss) from operations guidance to GAAP income (loss) from operations because we do not and are not able to provide guidance for GAAP income (loss) from operations due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and adjustments, such as the excess inventory and transition charges, restructuring and other expense and acquisition related expense, which are reconciling items between non-GAAP and GAAP income (loss) from operations. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP income (loss) from operations.

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2025, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $250.0 million in aggregate value of our outstanding Class A common stock. During Q4 2025, we repurchased $65.0 million in aggregate value of shares of our Class A common stock.

Glossary of Terms

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.

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.

Members: Growth in the number of members is an indicator of the penetration we have made within our clients’ eligible lives. 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 to. 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.

Annual Yield: This is calculated as the number of members at the end of a given 12-month period divided by LTM average eligible lives.

Number of Contracted Lives: Individuals within our contracted clients who have, or will have, the ability to enroll in our programs, typically employees and their adult dependents. Contracted lives include individuals within contracted clients that have not yet launched our platform, and thus such individuals are not yet eligible to be billed. Contracted lives include eligible lives.

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, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders, diluted, non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted (which we refer to as “non-GAAP diluted net income per share”) and free cash flow and free cash flow margin included in this press release, 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 press release. 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 income attributable to common stockholders, net income per share attributable to common stockholder, 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.

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.

Non-GAAP Operating Expenses

We define non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash, non-operational and non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, restructuring and other expenses and acquisition-related expenses.

The principal limitation of non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses 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.

Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, Diluted and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders, Diluted

We define non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders, diluted and non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted (which we refer to as “non-GAAP diluted net income per share”) as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted, respectively, 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, as applicable, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, employer payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, restructuring and other expenses, acquisition-related expenses and the income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.

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 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.

We adjust the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

Excess and obsolete inventory charges. We exclude certain charges related to excess and obsolete inventory related to our AI-powered motion tracking technology transition, which was our strategic decision in the first half of 2023 to shift away from providing kits with tablets and wearable sensors. As part of this shift, we began to provide access to our platform through our app on members’ personal smartphones or tablets and replaced sensors for members with our proprietary AI-powered motion tracking technology. We exclude these charges because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance.

Employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation. We exclude expenses for employer payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, this expense is tied to the exercise, vesting or sale of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of exercise, vesting or sale which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of our business.

Amortization of intangible assets. We exclude amortization of intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of intangible assets are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

Restructuring and other expenses. We exclude certain charges that are mainly attributable to workforce reduction in order to simplify our operations and better align our resources with our priorities. We exclude these charges because we do not believe these charges have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude certain charges that are attributable to acquiring businesses. We exclude these charges because we do not believe these charges have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.

Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We exclude the valuation allowance that is attributable to our non-GAAP income beginning in 2025. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 we determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20% and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 we determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be (2)% and (14)%, respectively. These tax rates reflect current available information, as well as other factors and assumptions. We will periodically re-evaluate this tax rate, as necessary, for significant events, relevant tax law changes, material changes in the forecasted geographic earnings mix, and any significant transactions.
