Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") to “Forge,” the “Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” and any related terms are intended to mean Forge Global Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Certain statements in this Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Report.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any after the date of this Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking

statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, partnerships, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Table of Contents

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform with our current period presentation.

In the normal course of business, the Company has transactions with various investment entities. In certain instances, the Company provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles, each, a Single Asset Fund ("SAF"). The Company does not have discretion to make any investment, except for the specific investment for which a SAF was formed. The Company performs an assessment to determine (a) whether the Company’s investments or other interests will absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns and (b) whether the Company’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity would give it a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates entities in which it, directly or indirectly, is determined to have a controlling financial interest. Consolidation conclusions are reviewed quarterly to identify whether any reconsideration events have occurred.

The Company has a majority ownership interest in Forge Europe GmbH ("Forge Europe") and accounts for Forge Europe as a fully consolidated subsidiary. The remaining interest, held by Deutsche Börse Aktiengesellschaft ("DBAG"), is reported as a noncontrolling interest in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. DBAG is a related party of the Company.

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, that have had a material impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

These financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “audited consolidated financial statements”) that was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 6, 2025, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. In management’s opinion, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future interim or annual periods.

Change in Capital Structure

As described more fully in Note 13, "Subsequent Events," effective April 14, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of all of its authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including, but not limited to, shares authorized, issued and outstanding, dollar amounts of common stock, additional paid-in capital, earnings/(loss) per share, options and other equity securities under the Company's equity incentive plans, and warrants have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in order to reflect this change in capital structure. The reverse stock split decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock but did not affect the number of authorized shares of the Company's preferred stock or the par value of the common stock.

Table of Contents

Segment Information

The Company operates as a single operating segment and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, we have concluded that we consist of a single operating segment and reportable segment for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The CODM uses net income as the measure of profit or loss for purposes of assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, primarily by monitoring actual results against the forecast. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-lived assets located outside of the United States were not material.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, the fair value of warrants, equity awards and share-based compensation expenses, including the derived service period for the awards containing market-based vesting conditions, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. These estimates are inherently subjective in nature and, therefore, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Further, the Company applies judgment in determining whether, directly or indirectly, it has a controlling financial interest in the SAFs, in order to conclude whether any of the SAFs must be consolidated.

The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2025. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and related financial impacts will be recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as those events become known.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts, term deposits (less than 90 days), investments in money market mutual funds, and U.S. government treasury bills.

The Company's investments consist primarily of term deposits in excess of 90 days, corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency securities. The Company's debt securities are classified as trading and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the related security and included in interest income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the goodwill may be impaired. The Company has one operating segment and reporting unit, and therefore goodwill is tested for impairment at the entity level. The Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value and if so, perform a quantitative test. Events or circumstances that could indicate an impairment include a significant change in the business climate, regulatory environment, established business plans, operating performance indicators, or competition. Potential impairment indicators may also include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of the Company’s most recent annual or interim impairment testing, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, (iii) declines in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, (iv) a reorganization resulting in a change to the Company’s operating segments, and (v) other macroeconomic

Table of Contents

factors, such as increases in interest rates that may affect the weighted average cost of capital or volatility in the equity and debt markets. If the Company's market capitalization continues to decline or future performance varies from current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including assumptions related to current macroeconomic uncertainties, this may trigger a future impairment charge. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily comprise cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, investments, accounts receivable, term deposits, payment-dependent notes receivable, and payment-dependent notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash may, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions to limit the amount of credit exposure. The Company's investments consist of corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency securities. The issuers of these debt securities are financially sound and subject to minimal credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments to date.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with its contracts with holders of private company securities (“sellers”) and investors (“buyers”) (sellers and buyers collectively "counterparty" or "client") related to the transfer of private securities is measured on an individual counterparty basis. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in political, industry, or economic factors. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, the Company’s exposure is monitored in light of changing counterparty and market conditions. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any material concentrations of credit risk outside the ordinary course of business.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no clients accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable. No client accounted for more than 10% of total revenue, less transaction-based expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Revenue by Geographic Location

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue outside of the United States (including U.S. territories), based on client billing address, was $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of Net loss and Other comprehensive income or loss. The Company's Other comprehensive income or loss is comprised of foreign currency translation gains and losses. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to improve financial reporting by requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements of interim and annual reporting periods, including amounts and qualitative descriptions of employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard should be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements and has not yet determined its transition approach.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents, term deposits, corporate debt securities, U.S. government and agency securities, payment-dependent notes receivable, payment-dependent notes payable, and warrant liabilities are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time these financial instruments are held to the expected receipt or payment date.

The Company classifies cash equivalents, including money market funds and U.S. government treasury bills, within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values these instruments using quoted market prices. The Company classifies term deposits, corporate debt securities, and U.S. government and agency securities as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because these investments are valued using observable market inputs without quoted market prices. The Company classifies the December 2023 Warrants (as defined herein) within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model which uses observable inputs. Assumptions in the model include, but are not limited to, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of the Company's stock price, expected term and expected dividend yield. The Company classifies Payment-dependent notes receivable and payable and its Private Placement Warrants (as defined herein) as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable which are described in more detail below.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Payment-Dependent Notes Receivable and Payment-Dependent Notes Payable

The Company classifies payment-dependent notes receivable and payment-dependent notes payable within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if the underlying securities are equity of private companies whose regular financial and nonfinancial information is generally not available other than when it is publicly disclosed, or significant unobservable inputs are used to estimate fair value.

The Company estimates the fair value of payment-dependent notes receivable and payment-dependent notes payable utilizing market data and completed transactions made through the Company’s platform for the relevant private securities as well as mutual fund valuations of private companies as relevant data inputs.

Private Placement Warrants

The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants within Level 3 due to the valuation technique used to estimate fair value. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, using the following key assumptions:

Table of Contents


	As of March 31, 2025			As of December 31, 2024

Balance, March 31	$	—	$	3,102

(1) The change in fair value of warrant liability is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations within Gain (loss) from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Transfers Into and Out of Level 3

The Company transfers financial instruments out of Level 3 on the date when underlying input parameters are readily observable from active markets with or without quoted market prices.

For Payment-dependent notes receivable and payable, transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 generally relate to a company going public and listing on a national securities exchange. During the periods presented, there were no transfers of payment-dependent notes receivable and payable into or out of Level 3.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitration, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company may also be the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies. The Company reviews these matters on an ongoing basis and provides disclosures and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management’s best estimate when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount within the range is considered a better estimate than any other amount, an accrual for losses is recorded based on the bottom amount of the range. The Company did not have any accrual for loss contingencies as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate.

401(k) Plan

The Company has established a tax-qualified retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for all of its U.S. employees, including executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements, including requirements relating to age and length of service.

Other

The Company is required to file extensive informational returns and forms to various tax authorities in connection with its custodial and trading solutions. If such filings are incomplete or untimely, the Company may be subjected to fines or penalties if the Company does not meet the requirements of reasonable cause, safe harbor, or other relief as may be provided by the relevant tax authorities. In October 2024, the Company self-identified a failure to submit certain informational filings to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in connection with its custodial solutions. The Company has submitted its reasonable cause letter to the IRS and does not expect any potential fine or penalty to be material to the Company's financial condition and operations at this time.

8. Warrants

The Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of all of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock on April 14, 2025. All outstanding warrants were adjusted in accordance with their terms, which resulted, among other changes to the warrant terms, in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants and to the exercise prices of such warrants. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 13, "Subsequent Events," for additional information.

December 2023 Warrants and Warrants to Purchase Junior Preferred Stock

In November 2020, a total of 208,195 warrants (“Junior Preferred Stock Warrants”) were issued at an exercise price of $59.64 per share, with a cap of extended value of $5.0 million. Because the Junior Preferred Stock Warrants could be settled in a variable number of common shares, they were classified as a liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Junior Preferred Stock Warrants had a five-year contractual life and could be exercised at any time during that period.

In December 2023, the Company modified 175,344 of the then outstanding Junior Preferred Stock Warrants (the "December 2023 Warrants"). The December 2023 Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $59.64 per share, with a cap of extended value of $5.0 million when net exercised, and without a cap when cash exercised. The December 2023 Warrants remain classified as a liability, until expiration in November 2025. All of the December 2023 Warrants are outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

Private Placement Warrants

In March 2022, Forge Global, Inc. ("Legacy Forge") was deemed to have assumed 492,444 warrants for Class A common stock that were held by Motive Capital Funds Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at an exercise price of $172.50 (the "Private Placement Warrants"). The warrants are exercisable subject to the terms of the warrant agreement, including but not limited to, the Company having an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The

Table of Contents

warrants expire in five years or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. All of the Private Placement Warrants are outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

The Private Placement Warrants meet liability classification requirements since the warrants may be required to be settled in cash under a tender offer and are potentially subject to a different settlement amount as a result of being held by the Sponsor which precludes the Private Placement Warrants from being considered indexed to the entity's own stock. Therefore, these warrants are classified as liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of all of its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock on April 14, 2025. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock awarded and available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 13, "Subsequent Events," for additional information.

Prior Stock Plan

In March 2018, Legacy Forge adopted its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2018 Plan”), which provided for grants of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and other forms of share-based awards. The 2018 Plan was terminated in March 2022 in connection with the adoption of the 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). Accordingly, no shares are available for future grants under the 2018 Plan following the adoption of the 2022 Plan.

2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

In March 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Plan, which provides for grants of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other forms of share-based awards. In addition, the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years, beginning on January 1, 2023 and on each January 1 thereafter and ending on the tenth anniversary of the adoption date of the 2022 Plan, in an amount equal to (i) 3% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company on the preceding December 31, or (ii) a lesser number of shares as approved by the Company's board of directors. The Company has authorized 1,931,687 shares of common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2022 Plan as of March 31, 2025.

2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter until the 2022 ESPP terminates according to its terms, by the lesser of (i) 271,467 shares of common stock, or (ii) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31. The Company's board of directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in (i) and (ii) above. The Company has authorized the issuance of 504,440 shares of common stock under purchase rights granted to the Company's employees or to employees of any of its designated affiliates as of March 31, 2025.

2025 Inducement Plan

In March 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") pursuant to which the Company reserved 100,000 shares of its common stock to be used exclusively for grants of equity-based awards to individuals who were not previously employees or directors of the Company, as an inducement material to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company. The Inducement Plan was adopted by the Company’s board of directors without stockholder approval pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Rule 303A.08.

Share Repurchase Program

Table of Contents

In March 2025, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10 million. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program has no expiration date. As of March 31, 2025, $10 million remained available for repurchase under the program.

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The total grant date fair value of stock options vested during the three months March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Unrecognized stock compensation expense for unvested stock options granted and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 was $0.4 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.57 years.

RSUs

The Company’s RSUs are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting on a one-to-one basis, and generally contain time-based vesting conditions. RSUs granted to certain executives also contain market-based vesting conditions or performance-based vesting conditions. The RSUs generally vest over the service period of one to four years.

RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows:


	Total RSUs	Time-based	Performance-based	Market-based	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share




Unvested as of December 31, 2024	839,958	539,379	113,378	187,201	$	48.91

Future share-based compensation expense for unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2025 was $12.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.38 years.

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 7.0% and 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was impacted by an $0.8 million reserve against a prior year federal net operating loss carry-back claim that may not be realized. The Company’s full valuation allowance in the United States caused the year-to-date effective tax rate to be different from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.

11. Net Loss per Share

The Company has one class of common stock. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents during the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, if applicable. The Company’s stock options, warrants, and early exercised stock options are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the holders of these securities do not have a contractual right to share in the Company's losses, and their effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was attributed to common stockholders only.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share data)(1):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders, basic	$	(16,172)	$	(18,624)

Net loss per share attributed to common stockholders:
Basic	$	(1.29)	$	(1.55)
Diluted	$	(1.29)	$	(1.55)

The following potentially dilutive shares (in thousands) were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been anti-dilutive(1):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Restricted stock units	611	1,025

Total	1,781	2,255

(2) Warrants to purchase common stock includes the December 2023 Warrants and common stock warrants. See Note 8, "Warrants", for additional information.

12. Related Party Transactions

On September 7, 2022 the Company and DBAG formed Forge Europe GmbH. DBAG is a stockholder of the Company. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information.

Table of Contents

Forge Global Advisors LLC ("FGA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, advises investment funds, each of which are organized as a series of Forge Investments LLC and segregated portfolio companies of Forge Investments SPC and Forge Investments II SPC (such investment funds and portfolio companies are individually and collectively referred to as “Single Asset Funds” or "SAFs"). The SAFs are each formed for the purpose of investing in securities relating to a single private company and are owned by different investors. FGA serves as the manager of the Forge Investments LLC series. The Company utilizes a third-party fund administrator to manage the Forge Investments SPC and Forge Investments II SPC SAFs. The Company has no ownership interest nor participation in the gains or losses of the SAFs. The Company does not consolidate Forge Investments LLC, Forge Investments SPC, Forge Investments II SPC, or any of the SAFs, because the Company has no direct or indirect interest in the SAFs and the amount of expenses the Company pays on behalf of the SAFs are not significant to the entities. Investors in the SAFs do not have any recourse to the assets of the Company.

While not contractually required, FGA may, at its sole discretion, absorb certain expenses on behalf of the SAFs. Audit and accounting related services are recorded in professional services in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Professional services expenses of $0.3 million and $0.2 million were recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has an equity method investment in EQUIAM, LLC ("Equiam"), a data-powered venture capital manager. Equiam also engages in secondary transactions with the Company through its affiliate private investment fund in the ordinary course of business. The Company holds a 25.8% ownership of Equiam's issued and outstanding Class A units. On May 2, 2024, the Company invested $0.5 million in an unsecured convertible note and warrant offering by Equiam. The unsecured convertible note shall become due and payable after the third anniversary of the issuance date, unless converted or prepaid. The investment in the unsecured convertible note and warrant is accounted for as consideration payable to a customer under ASC 606-10-32-25. As of March 31, 2025, the unsecured convertible note had a carrying value of $0.4 million which is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, as well as other assets, noncurrent, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13. Subsequent Events

Reverse Stock Split

At a special meeting of stockholders held on March 27, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-3 to 1-for-50, inclusive, as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion, subject to the board's authority to abandon such amendment.

On March 28, 2025, the board of directors approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split ratio. On April 14, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation (the "Charter Amendment") to effect the reverse stock split, which became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time, on April 14, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every fifteen (15) shares of the Company's common stock issued or outstanding were automatically reclassified into one (1) validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable new share of common stock, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below, without any action on the part of the holders. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock award and available for issuance under the Company's equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Additionally, all outstanding warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their terms, which resulted, among other changes to the warrant terms, in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants and to the exercise prices of such warrants. The shares of common stock outstanding following the reverse stock split remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse stock split decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock but did not affect the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock or the par value of the common stock.

Table of Contents

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fractional share received cash equal to the fair market value of the fractional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company's common stock as reported on the NYSE on April 11, 2025 (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split).

The impact of the reverse stock split was applied retroactively for all periods presented in accordance with applicable guidance. There was no change to the respective par value per share as a result of this change.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provide information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements in this Report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025 (the "Annual Report"). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, as described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this Report.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to "Forge," the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to Forge Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Business Overview

Forge is committed to democratizing access to private markets through our comprehensive suite of private market solutions, including a purpose-built technology-driven platform connecting buyers and sellers of private shares with investment and custody opportunities. Our marketplace offers data, insights, and tools to help institutions and individuals confidently navigate the private market. Our Private Company Solutions ("PCS") deliver tailored solutions to private companies for their liquidity and capital formation needs. Our asset management solution enhances investment efficiency through a suite of single asset funds that invest in private companies. Our data solutions provide clients with key insights into a traditionally opaque market and drive additional participation in our marketplace and platform generally. We also provide custodial services for self-directed retirement accounts, specializing in the custody of alternative assets to our clients.

Forge’s platform attracts a broad spectrum of market participants, which fall into three general categories: investors, shareholders, and companies. To serve the distinct needs of each of these categories, we have strategically invested in complementary solutions to offer our clients the most critical tools to participate in the private market ecosystem through an integrated platform that allows them to engage in various investment opportunities and supports the process from beginning to end. We believe this holistic approach yields strong platform-based network effects, fueling participation in the private market and our growth.

Our revenue is primarily driven by fees generated from our flagship marketplace and custody solutions. Revenue includes fees charged for private market transactions on the Forge marketplace and fees charged for account and asset management solutions from our custody solutions.

Key Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

In addition to growing and maintaining our client base and continuing to invest in our platform, we consider the following to be the key factors affecting our financial performance. These and other factors are discussed in more detail in the Risk Factors in our Annual Report.

Market Trends

Private Market Trends — Supply of and demand for private company shares fluctuates with various factors, including but not limited to, anticipated or planned IPOs, mergers and acquisitions activity in the public and private space, private company funding activity, exits by private equity or investment firms, participation in the private market by private companies generally, and demand from individual and institutional investors.

Consumer Behavior — Buyers' and sellers' behaviors vary over time and are affected by numerous conditions. For example, behavior may be impacted by social or economic factors such as changes in disposable income levels and the need for liquidity, employee tenure, general interest in investing, interest rate levels, and reaction to stock market volatility. There may also be high profile IPOs, SPACs, or idiosyncratic events impacting single companies that impact consumer behavior. These shifts in consumer behavior may influence interest in our products and solutions over time.

Table of Contents

Macroeconomic Environment — Behavior and risk appetites by individual and institutional accredited investors, as well as businesses, are impacted by various factors in the overall macroeconomic environment, including but not limited to, the interest rate environment, volatility and liquidity risks to private equity valuations, and uncertainty around settlement prices for illiquid assets. These factors could all, individually or together, impact investor appetite and investment preferences across the alternative investment and private markets space. In particular, cash administration fees are based on prevailing interest rates and custodial client cash balances, and currently makes up the largest portion of our custodial administration fee revenue.

Revenue and Take Rate

Types of Products — We may adjust fees to account for different operational costs and transaction-based costs that may be incurred for different products. The mix of transactions in different products will impact overall revenues and take rate.

Types of Clients — The type of client may influence our solution revenue. Institutional and individual clients may be charged fee rates depending on different factors, including but not limited to, the size of the transaction, the demand for the underlying private company shares, or the type of custody services provided. Clients that come to our platform through third-party brokers, PCS, or partnerships may also impact revenue. The mix of clients in any given period will impact our overall revenues and take rate.

Segment Information

Key Business Metrics

We monitor the following key business metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. The tables below reflect period-over-period changes in our key business metrics, along with the percentage change between such periods. Percentages may not be replicated based on the rounded figures presented. We believe the following business metrics are useful in evaluating our business.

In this Report, we have introduced Custodial Client Cash as a key business metric for our custody solution as cash administration fee revenue is highly correlated to this metric. Custodial Client Cash has been provided as a metric in quarterly supplemental information furnished with the SEC since the third quarter of 2022 and was previously called Custodial Cash Balance. We have not adjusted methodology, assumptions, or otherwise changed any aspects of this metric and it is comparable to prior period presentations of Custodial Cash Balance in our quarterly supplemental information. Custodial Client Cash represents the value of cash held on behalf of clients held under our custody solution agreements. We believe that disclosing Custodial Client Cash provides investors with valuable insight into custody solution revenue as cash administration fees currently make up the majority of our custodial administration fee revenue. Cash administration fees are based on prevailing interest rates and custodial client cash balances.

We have included Custodial Client Cash balances for all periods presented to facilitate comparability and trend analysis.

•Trades are defined as the total number of orders executed by us on behalf of private investors and stockholders. Increasing the number of orders is critical to increasing our revenue and, in turn, to achieving profitability.

Table of Contents

•Volume is defined as the total sales value for all securities traded through our Forge marketplace, which is the aggregate value of the issuer company’s equity attributed to both the buyer and seller in a trade and as such a $100 trade of equity between buyer and seller would be captured as $200 of volume for us. Although we typically capture a commission on each side of a trade, we may not in certain cases due to factors such as the use of a third-party broker by one of the parties or supply factors that would not allow us to attract sellers of shares of certain issuers. Volume is influenced by, among other things, the pricing and quality of our services as well as market conditions that affect private company valuations, such as increases in valuations of comparable companies at IPO.

•Net Take Rates are defined as our marketplace revenues, less markets-related transaction-based expenses, divided by Volume. These represent the percentage of fees earned by our marketplace on any transactions executed from the commission we charged on such transactions less transaction-based expenses, which is a determining factor in our revenue. The Net Take Rate can vary based upon the service or product offering and is also affected by the average order size and transaction frequency.

•Total Custodial Accounts are defined as our clients’ custodial accounts that are established on our platform and billable. These relate to our Custodial Administration fees revenue stream and are an important measure of our business as the number of Total Custodial Accounts is an indicator of our future revenues from certain account maintenance and transaction fees.

•Assets Under Custody is the reported value of all client holdings held under our agreements, including cash submitted to us by the responsible party. These assets can be held at various financial institutions, issuers, and in our vault. As the custodian of the accounts, we collect all interest and dividends, handle all fees and transactions, and any other considerations for the assets concerned. Our fees are earned from the overall maintenance activities of all assets and are not charged on the basis of the dollar value of Assets Under Custody, but we believe that Assets Under Custody is a useful metric for assessing the relative size and scope of our business.

•Custodial Client Cash is a component of Assets Under Custody representing the value of cash held on behalf of clients held under our agreements. These assets are held at various financial institutions. Our fees are earned from the administration activities we perform with respect to these balances. The amount of custodial client cash is a determining factor in our revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc., adjusted to exclude: (i) net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) interest income, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) share-based compensation expense, (vi) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and (vii) other significant gains, losses, and expenses such as impairments or acquisition-related transaction costs that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing results.

The following table reconciles net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc. to our Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented below:


	Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2024
Net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc.	$	(16,172)	$	(15,643)	$	(18,624)
Add:
Interest income	(1,042)		(1,164)		(1,709)
Provision for income taxes	1,016		294		216
Depreciation and amortization	986		1,313		1,816
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest	(26)		(322)		(370)
Loss on impairment of long lived assets	—		866		186
Share-based compensation expense	6,519		5,541		9,467
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities	(191)		(1,766)		(4,447)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(8,910)	$	(10,881)	$	(13,465)

Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating our performance, consider Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not a substitute for, other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.

Basis of Presentation

Table of Contents

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Marketplace revenue — Our marketplace revenue consists of fees earned by us in connection with our marketplace, PCS, asset management, and data solutions. We earn marketplace solution revenue from non-underwritten transactions, such as private placements of equity securities. These fees vary depending on multiple factors, including the size of the transaction, the demand for the underlying equity security and the form of the transaction. PCS earns program and transaction fees from companies through tender offer and structured liquidity programs. Our asset management revenue consists of set-up fees charged in connection with direct investments in member interests in Forge-managed SAFs. Revenues generated from our data solutions include subscription fees for our data products and license fees in connection with our segment and sector private market indices. The number of trades, dollar volume of trades, and net take rate are the key business metrics we monitor to evaluate the financial performance of our marketplace solutions business.

Custodial administration fees — We generate revenue from cash administration fees, account maintenance fees, asset fees, and transaction fees. Cash administration fees are based on prevailing interest rates and client cash balances and currently make up the majority of custodial administration fee revenue. With respect to the account maintenance fees, we assess a flat quarterly fee per account, with additional fees based on the number and types of assets held and the number and type of transactions executed. The account revenues depend on the number of total custodial accounts, which include accounts clients opened directly with us and the activity within these accounts, as well as accounts we custody on behalf of partners.

Transaction-based expenses

Transaction-based expenses represent third-party fees incurred to support our marketplace and custody solutions. These include, but are not limited to, third-party broker fees and transfer fees related to placement provided to brokerage clients to facilitate transactions and to a lesser extent those for fund management, and fund settlement expenses that relate to services provided to the Forge-managed SAFs. Custodial transaction fees include third-party vault storage fees for precious metals we custody. We generally expect these expenses to increase in absolute dollars as our revenue grows.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits expense is our most significant operating expense and includes employee wages, bonuses, share-based compensation, severance costs, benefits, and employer taxes. The incentive component of our compensation and benefits expense consists of amounts paid on the achievement of sales targets and discretionary bonuses, which are based on both our financial performance and individual employee performance. While we expect our compensation and benefits expense to increase as our revenue grows and we hire additional personnel to support new products and services, in the near term, we are focused on aligning our headcount with current business needs. The share-based compensation component of compensation and benefits expense may or may not increase as we continue to align our headcount with current and future business needs.

Professional services

Professional services expense includes fees for accounting, tax, auditing, legal, and regulatory services, as well as consulting services received in connection with strategic and technology initiatives. We have and may continue to incur additional professional services expenses relating to public company regulatory requirements and customary practices.

Advertising and market development

Advertising and market development is an important driver of our value and we intend to continue making meaningful investments in the Forge brand and growth marketing. This includes brand advertising, thought leadership, content marketing, public relations, partnerships, and other strategies that amplify our brand. We have a rigorous approach to measuring client lifetime value and optimizing our client acquisition investments according to market dynamics and effective return on investment ("ROI"). We manage our discretionary expenses in growth marketing in real-time, as audience-specific dynamics show positive ROI. We generally expect our marketing expenses to increase in the long term in absolute dollars but manage our spend judiciously and adapt as market conditions evolve.

Table of Contents

Rent and occupancy

Rent and occupancy expense is related to our leased property and includes rent, maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities, impairment and other related costs.

Technology and communications

Technology and communications consist of costs for our hosting fees paid to third-party data centers, software development engineers, and maintenance of our computer hardware and software required to support our technology and cybersecurity. Technology and communications also include costs for network connections for our electronic platforms and telecommunications. We generally expect our technology and communications expense to increase over the long term as we continue to innovate on our offerings and services and increase headcount.

General and administrative

General and administrative includes insurance, travel and entertainment, allowances for bad debt, reserves for contingent losses including legal proceedings, and other general and administrative costs.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization is attributable to property and equipment, intangible assets, and capitalized internal-use software.

Interest income

Interest income primarily includes interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, investments and term deposits.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities are related to warrant liabilities that are marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised, expire, or other facts and circumstances that could lead the warrant liabilities to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity occur.

Other income, net

Other income, net, includes realized and unrealized gains and losses in connection with investments, sublease income, and other non-operating income and expenditures.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes consists of federal, state, and foreign income taxes. We maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities, with the exception of certain indefinite-lived liabilities, as we have concluded it is not more likely than not that we will realize our net deferred tax assets.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses increased $6.8 million, or 37%.

Marketplace revenue increased by $7.4 million, or 85%, driven by a 132% increase in trading volume offset, in part, by a 0.5% decline in net take rate. We attribute higher trading volumes to improved market dynamics that drove a diversity of new and re-engaged interest in our platform and larger average trade sizes. Net take rate in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower due to large block transactions executed at lower net take rates.

Custodial administration fees decreased by $0.7 million, or 7%, driven by lower cash administration fees attributable to lower interest rates and lower custodial client cash balances. The full impact of the 50 basis point reduction in interest rates in the three months ended December 31, 2024 resulted in the majority of the decline.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024

Total revenues, less transaction-based expenses increased $5.9 million, or 31%.

Marketplace revenue increased by $7.5 million, or 88%, driven by a 59% increase in trading volume offset, in part, by a 0.90% decline in net take rate. We attribute higher trading volumes to improved market dynamics that drove a diversity of new and re-engaged interest in our platform and larger average trade sizes.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024

Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.9 million, or 15%.

Salary expense increased $0.7 million, or 6%, due to the impact of annual increases effective January 1, 2025 and seasonally higher payroll-related tax expense. Severance expense in the current quarter relates primarily to the Company's CFO transition while costs in the prior quarter relate primarily to actions taken to align headcount to current and future business needs.

Incentive compensation and other bonus expense increased $1.8 million primarily driven by the increase in marketplace revenue.

Share-based compensation expense increased $1.0 million primarily related to accelerated amortization in connection with the Company's CFO transition, net of forfeitures.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $0.4 million, or 1%.

Salary expense decreased $1.1 million, or 8%, due to the realization of cost initiatives taken by the Company in the second half of 2024. The increase in severance expense was primarily driven by the Company's CFO transition costs.

Incentive compensation and other bonus expense increased $2.7 million primarily driven by the increase in marketplace revenue.

Share-based compensation expense decreased $2.9 million primarily related to lower amortization in connection with prior years' grants offset in part by accelerated amortization in connection with the Company's CFO transition.

Excluding the non-recurring impairment charge, other operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased $1.6 million, or 15%.

The primary contributors to the remaining quarter over quarter increase included $0.4 million in legal fees recorded in professional services, $0.2 million in advertising and market development expenses and $0.2 million of bad debt expense, and $0.3 million of non-income business taxes recorded in general and administrative expense. Additionally, an increase of $0.5 million in third-party software engineer expense recorded in technology and communication expense reflects the Company's continuing investment in its flagship marketplace and custody solutions through the use of off-shore resources.

Other operating expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 16%.

Other operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024, included certain non-recurring charges, including $2.8 million in legal settlement costs and a $0.2 million right-of-use asset impairment charge recorded in rent and occupancy expense. Excluding the non-recurring impairment charges, other operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $0.6 million, or 6%.

The primary contributor to the remaining quarter-over-quarter increase is higher third-party software engineering costs offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense.

Changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities were driven by changes in key valuation assumptions including the Company's share price and share price volatility as of the valuation dates. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain from warrant revaluations, in comparison to a $1.8 million gain for the three months ended December 31, 2024. See Note 3, "Fair Value Measurements" of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024

Interest income decreased $0.7 million driven by lower interest rates and declining cash and cash equivalent balances.

Changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities were driven by changes in key valuation assumptions including the Company's share price and share price volatility as of the valuation dates. The favorable change of $0.2 million in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the current year quarter compares to the favorable change of $4.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through revenue from operations and issuances of securities. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital and capital expenditures.

As of March 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balance of $70.5 million and investments of $21.5 million.

We believe our existing liquidity as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our operating working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Our future equity and financing requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development of our platform, and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. Although we currently are not a party to any financing agreement and do not have any understanding with any third parties with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

We intend to continue to make investments in product development, sales efforts, and additional general and administrative costs in connection with operating as a public company. We expect to continue to maintain financing flexibility in the current market conditions. As a result, we may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.

Investments

Our investment policy and strategy are focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements. We invest in highly-rated debt securities that are considered held-for-trading investments with average duration in the portfolio less than 3 months and a maximum maturity of 6 months. Based on our investment positions as of March 31, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all maturities would not be significant. Losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity or in the event of a default by the issuer.

We seek to reduce credit risk through prudent asset selection, actively monitoring our investment portfolio and the underlying credit quality of our holdings. Our pre-acquisition due diligence and processes for monitoring performance include the evaluation of, among other things, credit and risk ratings.

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10 million. No repurchases were made under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we commenced repurchases under the share repurchase program. As of market close on May 6, 2025, we have repurchased 314,701 shares at an average price of approximately $13.15 per share and approximately $6.0 million remains available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2025		2024
Net cash used in:
Operating activities	$	(12,833)	$	(12,375)
Investing activities	$	(21,529)	$	(400)
Financing activities	$	(653)	$	(2,076)

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $12.8 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $16.2 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $8.1 million and net cash outflows of $4.7 million in connection with changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consist of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, amortization of right-of-use assets, and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. Cash outflows in connection with changes in our operating assets and liabilities are primarily driven by payment of annual incentive compensation and higher accounts receivable, net as a result of higher revenue.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $12.4 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $19.0 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $7.8 million and net cash outflows of $1.1 million in connection with changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consist of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, amortization of right-of-use assets, and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. Cash outflows in connection with changes in our operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by payment of annual incentive compensation and payments in connection with legal settlements.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $21.5 million was primarily driven by investment of excess corporate cash balances into short-term investments.

Cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted primarily of cash paid for leasehold improvements.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, and relates to stock option and other equity award activities and settlements.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations have not changed materially outside of the normal course of business as disclosed in our Annual Report, except as described in Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies," to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider forming a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected

Table of Contents

in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the goodwill may be impaired. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, regulatory environment, established business plans, operating performance indicators, or competition. Potential impairment indicators may also include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of the Company’s most recent annual or interim impairment testing, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, (iii) declines in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, (iv) a reorganization resulting in a change to the Company’s operating segments, and (v) other macroeconomic factors, such as increases in interest rates that may affect the weighted average cost of capital or volatility in the equity and debt markets. If the Company's market capitalization continues to decline or future performance varies from current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including assumptions related to current macroeconomic uncertainties, this may trigger a future impairment charge.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2024 and a quantitative assessment as of December 31, 2024. The Company used a qualitative assessment as of March 31, 2025. The qualitative analysis evaluated factors, including, but not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. Based on the results of our qualitative impairment assessment, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit sufficiently exceeded its carrying value and as such, did not require further assessment. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Table of Contents

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act, adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” except as follows:

As previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company on August 7, 2024, Kelly Rodriques, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, adopted a trading plan on May 17, 2024 intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (the “10b5-1 Plan”). The 10b5-1 Plan provided for the potential sale of up to 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (after adjusting for the reverse stock split) and was set to expire on the earlier of (a) August 31, 2025, (b) when all transactions under the 10b5-1 Plan are completed, or (c) Mr. Rodriques ceasing to be an employee or director of the Company. On January 21, 2025, Mr. Rodriques terminated the 10b5-1 Plan. 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold (after adjusting for the reverse stock split) pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan prior to the termination date.
