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.
