Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Mondee Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. We refer to Mondee Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Mondee,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Mondee is a rapid-growth, travel technology company and marketplace with a portfolio of globally recognized brands in the leisure and corporate travel sectors.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the instructions to Regulation S-X. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including acquired businesses from the dates of acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency. For international operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange existing at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated at monthly average exchange rates applicable for the period. Translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and also on assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, highly liquid investments in money market funds and various deposit accounts.
The Company has restricted cash and short-term investments related to letters of credit intended to secure payments for the potential purchase of airline tickets in the ordinary course of business. We have placed short-term certificates of deposits and investments in money market funds with financial institutions as collateral under these arrangements and accordingly, these balances are presented as restricted cash and short-term investments of $8.5 million and $8.0 million on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported within the consolidated balance sheets and to the total amounts presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 38,889 | | | $ | 27,994 | |
Restricted cash presented in restricted cash and short-term investments | 7,184 | | | 6,672 | |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 46,073 | | | $ | 34,666 | |
Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable from customers are recorded at the original invoiced amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We make estimates of expected credit losses for our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history continually updated for new collections data, the credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision for estimated credit losses is recorded in accounts receivable, net of allowance on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contract assets represent unbilled and accrued incentive revenues from airline companies and our GDS service providers based on the achievement of contractual targets defined at contract inception. The provision for estimated credit losses is recorded in contract assets, net of allowance on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million to provision for credit losses, net, due to revision of estimates of expected credit losses on accounts receivables and contract assets and wrote off a total of $1.4 million in accounts receivables.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Our business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on relationships with travel suppliers, primarily airlines, dependence on third-party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and payment related fraud. We also rely on GDS service providers and third-party service providers for certain fulfillment services.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Significant concentrations are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or total accounts receivable and contract assets. As of March 31, 2024, there was one financial institution with other receivable balances accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable and contract assets. As of December 31, 2023 three parties accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company’s accounts receivable comprises of amounts due from affiliates, airline companies, GDS service providers and financing
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments In Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which amends U.S. GAAP to include 14 disclosure requirements that are currently required under SEC Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Each amendment will be effective on the date on which the SEC removes the related disclosure requirement from SEC Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as these requirements were previously incorporated under the SEC Regulations.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amends disclosure requirements relating to segment reporting, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses and by requiring disclosure of segment information on an annual and interim
basis. This standard is effective for annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This standard is effective for annual consolidated financial statements for years ending after December 31, 2024 for public entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Roll-forward of Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables summarizes the fair value adjustments for liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):
Earn-out consideration
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| 2024 | | 2023 | |
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 9,721 | | | $ | — | | |
Additions of earn-out consideration with the acquisition of Orinter | — | | | 3,719 | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Change in the estimated fair value of earn-out consideration | 1,239 | | | 171 | | |
Transfer to Level 1 earn-out payable | (4,333) | | | — | | |
Balance, end of the period | $ | 6,627 | | | $ | 3,890 | | |
The earn-out consideration consists of the fair values of contingent consideration in connection with the Company’s acquisitions. The earn-out considerations are fair valued using the Monte Carlo Method and is a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the earn-out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation method repeats a process thousands of times in an attempt to predict all the possible future outcomes. At the end of the simulation, several random trials produce a distribution of outcomes that are then analyzed to
determine the average present value of the earn-out liability. The valuation model utilized the following assumptions for the valuation of the earn-out liabilities as of March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Orinter | | Interep | | Consolid | | Skypass | |
Cost of equity | 23.5 | % | | 27.5 | % | | 28.0 | % | | 21.0 | % | |
EBITDA volatility | 66.0 | % | | 66.0 | % | | 59.0 | % | | 59.0 | % | |
Equity volatility | 93.0 | % | | 93.0 | % | | 95.0 | % | | 83.0 | % | |
Required metric risk premium | 16.5 | % | | 19.5 | % | | 14.5 | % | | 15.0 | % | |
Risk-neutral adjustment factor | 0.83 - 0.96 | | 0.80 - 0.96 | | 0.97 - 0.99 | | 0.77 - 0.97 | |
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, it was determined that Orinter and Interep achieved the first of multiple operating metrics specified in the purchase agreement and, as a result, a portion of earn-out consideration was transferred to Level 1 as earn-out payable given the certainty of payments, which are recorded in Accrued expense and other current liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. In April 2024, the Company paid out $3.3 million and $1.0 million for Orinter and Interep earn-out considerations, respectively.
The Level 3 earn-out consideration is recorded in earn-out liability, net, current portion and earn-out liability, net, excluding current portion on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Level 1 earn-out consideration amounts are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Changes to the unobservable inputs do not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized a loss of $1.2 million and $0.2 million for the remeasurement of the earn-out liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, recorded as general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Private placement warrant liability
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |
(in thousands) | 2024 | | 2023 | |
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 137 | | | $ | 1,293 | | |
Change in the estimated fair value of warrants | (42) | | | 21 | | |
Balance, end of the period | $ | 95 | | | $ | 1,314 | | |
The private placement warrant liability is fair valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table provides quantitative information regarding assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the private placement warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Stock price | $2.31 | | $2.76 |
Term (in years) | 3.3 | | 3.6 |
Expected volatility | 75.0% | | 73.0% |
Risk-free rate | 4.5% | | 4.0% |
Dividend yield | —% | | —% |
Changes to the unobservable inputs do not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized a gain of $0.04 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and a loss of $0.02 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, recorded in changes in fair value of warrant liability within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Besides the transfer of the realized earn-out liability amounts discussed above, there were no other transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy categories of financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial asset is required to be evaluated for impairment and an impairment is recorded to reduce the non-financial asset’s carrying value to the fair value as a result of such triggering events, the non-financial assets are measured at fair value for the period such triggering events occur.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on non-financial assets.

Term Loan
On December 23, 2019, the Company, entered into a financing agreement with TCW for a $150.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), and concurrently entered into a revolving credit facility (“TCW LOC”) with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $15.0 million. The undrawn balances available under the revolving credit facility are subject to commitment fees of 1%. These facilities are guaranteed by the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. No amounts on the revolving credit facility have been drawn down as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On January 11, 2023, the Company executed a ninth Amendment to the Term Loan (the “Ninth Agreement”), wherein Wingspire Capital LLC (“Wingspire”) became a party to the to the Term Loan. The amendment resulted in the redesignation of $15.0 million under the Term Loan from other lenders to Wingspire (the “TCW Term Loan”).
Concurrently, Wingspire funded an additional $15.0 million on top of the already outstanding Term Loan (the “Wingspire Term Loan”), with a total of $30.0 million contributed by Wingspire as part of this amendment. Further, pursuant to the ninth Amendment, Wingspire consented to take over the TCW LOC for a principal amount not to exceed $15.0 million. Both the TCW Term Loan and Wingspire Term Loan are referenced herein as the Term Loan.
In connection with the ninth amendment to the Term Loan, the Company had the option to increase the Term Loan by $20.0 million under two conditions until January 11, 2024: (i) the Company must have a trailing 12-month EBITDA of at least $25.0 million; and (ii) the Company must draw in increments of at least $5.0 million. The Company did not exercise the option to increase the Wingspire Term Loan.
On January 17, 2024, the Company executed a twelfth amendment to the Term Loan (the “Twelfth Amendment”). The Twelfth Amendment (1) provided consent to the Company’s acquisition of Purplegrids; (2) required that the Company pledge 100% of the equity interests of Purplegrids; (3) defers a portion of the principal and interest payments due in December 2023 to the termination of the Term Loan; (4) defers certain refinancing milestones and modifies certain liquidity requirements; (5) modifies the payment of certain administrative fees to quarterly rather than annually; and (7) provides for the payment of certain fees, including $1.5 million in amendment fees to be paid at the earlier of the termination of the agreement and a future refinancing event.
On March 11, 2024, the Company executed a thirteenth amendment to the Term Loan (the “Thirteenth Amendment”). The Thirteenth Amendment (1) provided an extension of the maturity on the Term Loan and the availability of the TCW LOC to March 31, 2025 while the Company works to finalize a long-term facility; (2) no event of default for any refinancing milestone; (iii) extends the date on which a refinancing fee is potentially payable to April 30, 2024; (iv) defers a portion of the principal amortization due in March 2024 to the earlier of the date of the refinancing of the credit facility or June 30, 2024, and capitalizes a part of interest due in March 2024; (v) waives any events of default that may have occurred prior to the Amendment; and (vi) a fee of $0.4 million “paid in kind” and added to the outstanding principal of the Term Loan.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the stated interest rate under the Term Loan was SOFR + 8.50%. In addition to the stated rate of interest on the Term Loan pursuant to which interest payments were calculated, debt issuance costs and debt discounts on the Term Loan are amortized over the term of the borrowing arrangement as additional notional interest expense, and added to the calculation of effective interest rate on the Term Loan. Including such additional notional calculations, the effective interest on the Wingspire Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is 17% and 16%, respectively; and the effective interest on TCW Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 23%, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the TCW Term Loan was $159.1 million and $149.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Wingspire Term Loan was $14.3 million and $13.9 million. The fair value of debt was estimated based on Level 3 inputs.
The Term Loan includes provisions for customary events of default including non-payment of obligations, non-compliance with covenants and obligations, default on other material debt, bankruptcy or insolvency events, material judgments, change of control, and certain customary events of default relating to collateral or guarantees. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, subject to the terms of the Term Loan including any cure periods specified therein, customary remedies may be exercised by the Lenders under the Term Loan against the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Term Loan as of March 31, 2024.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incidental to its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on its business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of judgment, defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has the following outstanding legal claims that may have a material impact.
Litigation Relating to LBF Acquisition. Thomas DeRosa, a shareholder of LBF Travel Management Corp. (f/k/a LBF Travel, Inc.), the entity that sold LBF Travel Holdings, LLC to Mondee, sued LBF Travel Management Corp. and its CEO to recover a portion of the proceeds of the sale of LBF Travel Holdings, LLC to Mondee. Mondee was later added as a party to this litigation via a third-party complaint that alleges, among other things, that Mondee aided and abetted the directors and officers of LBF Travel Management Corp. in breaches of their fiduciary duties in connection with the acquisition. The Federal Court recently dismissed these specific claims against Mondee, and limited other claims in the case, but has not yet set a trial date. There is a separate state court action that has been stayed. While the Company believes that they will be successful based on their position, it is nevertheless reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay any assessed amounts in order to contest or litigate the assessment and an estimate for a reasonably possible range of loss of any such payments cannot be made.
Litigation Relating to Restrictive Legends. On December 8, 2023, plaintiff Raja Venkatesh (“Venkatesh”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Prasad Gundumogula (“Gundumogula” and, together with the Company, the “Mondee Defendants”), and the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”). The complaint, which is captioned Raja Venkatesh v. Mondee Holdings, Inc., Prasad Gundumogula, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Case No.: 1:23-cv-10734-VEC (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Venkatesh Action”), asserts ten causes of action: (1) violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 against the Mondee Defendants; (2) violation of 8 Del. C. § 158 against Mondee and CST; (3) violation of 8 Del. C. §§ 8-401 and 8-407 against Mondee and CST; (4) breach of fiduciary duty against the Mondee Defendants; (5) negligence against Mondee and CST; (6) conversion against Mondee and CST; (7) civil conspiracy against all Defendants; (8) breach of contract against Mondee; (9) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Mondee; and (10) injunction against the Company and CST. The claims asserted in the Venkatesh Action all relate to Plaintiff’s allegations that the Company improperly placed and maintained certain restrictive legends on his shares of common stock in the Company purportedly in violation of the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, to which Plaintiff and the Company are parties. The relief sought in the complaint includes a permanent injunction requiring the removal of the restrictive legends, compensatory damages for losses allegedly sustained by Venkatesh as a result of defendants’ conduct, punitive damages, and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Venkatesh Action. On February 12, 2024, the Mondee Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim. In addition, Gundumogula moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Also on February 12, 2024, CST filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiff filed a memorandum of law in opposition to Mondee Defendants’ and CST’s motions to dismiss on April 11, 2024. In his opposition, Plaintiff withdrew his claims for violation of 6 Del. C. § 8-401 (Count III) and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (Count IX) as against all defendants, his claim for civil conspiracy as against Gundumogula (Count VII), and breach of fiduciary duty as against Mondee (Count IV). Additionally, Plaintiff clarified that his claim for injunction (Count X) is not a cause of action, but rather a request for injunctive relief as a remedy if successful on his other claims. The pretrial conference, which was originally scheduled for February 9, 2024, has been adjourned pending resolution of the pending motions to dismiss. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted in the Venkatesh Action. At present, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss, if any, associated with these claims.
On October 13, 2021, Mondee received a summons from Global Collect Services B.V. to appear in the District Court of Amsterdam with respect to a claim of $0.5 million for past dues and outstanding invoices, fees, plus interest and costs of collection. The Company is in current discussions to settle this lawsuit and at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss.
Letters of Credit
The Company had $8.4 million and $7.9 million secured letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These primarily relate to securing the payment for the potential purchase of airline tickets in the ordinary course of business and are collateralized by term deposits, for which the contractual obligation is less than a year.
Commercial Commitments
The Company has commercial commitments arising in the normal course of business of the industry in which it operates. Under the terms of such contracts, the Company receives cash in advance for production goals over a period of several years. In the event of under-performance or termination of the applicable contract, the Company may be obligated to repay amounts still to be earned. At March 31, 2024, the Company had under-performed the required goals of one such contract, where the unearned balance was $8.7 million and is recognized as part of our current and non-current Deferred Revenue balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company and counter-party both intend to continue the terms of the contracts.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have the following reportable segments: Travel Marketplace and SaaS Platform. These reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because the nature of products and services, and methods used to distribute the services are different. Our primary segment measure is Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Assets, liabilities, income tax expense and certain other expenses are reviewed on an entity-wide basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and hence are not allocated to these reportable segments. Segment revenue is reported and reviewed by the CODM on a monthly basis.

We have assessed our ability to realize our deferred tax assets and have recorded a valuation allowance against such assets to the extent that, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, we placed significant weight on our history of generating tax losses. As a result, we have recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. We expect to maintain a valuation allowance in such jurisdictions for the foreseeable future.
We determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We record any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete items. The tax expense arising on account of tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets and state minimum taxes is calculated based on the discrete approach.
The Company recorded a $0.3 million liability for an income tax contingency related to the acquisition of Interep. At the date of acquisition, we recognized an indemnification asset at the same time and on the same basis as the recognized liability, to the extent that collection is reasonably assured, in accordance with ASC 805.
The following table presents the calculation of effective income tax rate:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
($ in thousands) | 2024 | | 2023 |
Loss before income taxes | $ | (18,813) | | | $ | (12,216) | |
Provision for income taxes | 645 | | | 699 | |
Effective income tax rate | (3.43) | % | | (5.72) | % |
The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any additional subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2024, the Company paid out $3.3 million and $1.0 million for Orinter and Interep earn-out considerations, respectively, as the operating metrics specified per the respective purchase agreements was achieved.
On May 7, 2024, the Company executed a fourteenth amendment to the Term Loan (the “Fourteenth Amendment”). The Fourteenth Amendment provided an extension of the maturity on the Term Loan to June 30, 2025 while the Company works to finalize a long-term facility and specifies the timing of payments of refinancing fees associated with various lenders on the Term Loan.

Overview
We are a leading travel technology company, featuring an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled transaction platform that powers our Marketplace for personalized travel experiences. Our Marketplace has achieved nearly $3 billion of annual gross bookings, primarily in the leisure travel market segment originating in North America with international destinations. In addition to our technology platform and marketplace, our competitive moat includes: a Global Content Hub of negotiated rate content from airlines, hotels, cruise lines and other suppliers; a growing Distribution Network of 65,000 travel experts and intermediaries; Abhi, a travel industry leading AI-assisted user experience and process management application; a suite of profitable Ancillary and FinTech solutions; and in-house multi-lingual 24/7 Support and Service Delivery centers. Our competitive cornerstones and continued growth are further complimented by a history of successfully acquiring and integrating nineteen travel companies with complementary content, distribution, and/or technology into our technology-enabled ecosystem.
We provide a state-of-the-art AI platform, in addition to technologies, apps, operating systems and services that seamlessly facilitate travel transactions, as well as the creation of personalized experiences. These platforms are deployed to better serve travelers through travel experts and numerous other emerging channels. Our AI-enabled technology solutions provide the necessary modern traveler engagement services such as collaborative conversational commerce, seamless connectivity and 24/7 assistance, as well as operating systems with modern financial technology, insurance and marketing services. These technology solutions facilitate access to highly perishable global travel content and extensive negotiated travel content, and combined with our distribution network, creating a compelling Travel Marketplace.
We are increasingly focused on rapidly expanding our global presence in, and penetration of, the broader travel market. In addition to the rapid development and enhancement of our modern Travel Marketplace, we are increasingly focused on expanding our penetration of the “gig economy” segment of the travel market. We believe our technology solutions are well-suited to serve gig workers seeking more flexibility, diverse content and travel services.
From the date of founding, our Company began building a leading international wholesale travel business through acquisitions and deployment of our technology platform. We expect to continue pursuing strategic opportunities that strengthen our technology solutions, expand the breadth and depth of our content, and grow our distribution network globally. From recent acquisitions, we have grown our content of hotel and lodging, cruise and tour offerings and plan to expand our travel and experiences packaging capabilities through acquisition candidates with this expertise. Additionally, we expect to increase the Company's international footprint by acquiring distributors, aggregators and platforms beyond North America and Latin America.
We believe the successful execution of our accretive and synergistic acquisition business strategy has enhanced our modern Travel Marketplace and positions us well for emerging travel business opportunities.
We generate revenue primarily from travel-related activity, which is presented as Travel Marketplace segment revenue on the disaggregated revenue disclosure within Note 4 — Revenue, of our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Travel Marketplace segment includes revenue earned from:
•Commissions revenue, including mark-up fees and commissions on airline ticket sales and to a lesser extent, for hotel accommodations and booking of car rentals, and other travel services;
•Incentive revenues earned from GDS service providers and airline companies for airline reservations, as well as from our fintech payment programs based on the aggregate gross booking amounts processed by us; and
•Other travel products and services.
The remainder of our revenues are generated from subscription contracts for access to our travel management software-as-a service (“SaaS”) platforms. Our SaaS Platform revenues are recognized over the term of the contract.
Macroeconomic Considerations
Weakening conditions in the economy, from rising interest rates and inflation, for example, both in the United States and abroad, may negatively our results of operations. For further discussion on the impact of macroeconomic factors to our business, financial condition and operating results, refer to the section “Risk Factors”.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Adverse changes in general market conditions for travel services, including the effects of macroeconomic conditions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, health concerns, civil or political unrest or other events outside our control could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and operating results.
Our revenue is derived from the global travel industry and would be significantly impacted by declines in, or disruptions to, travel activity, particularly air travel. Global factors over which we have no control, but which could impact our clients’ willingness to travel and, depending on the scope and duration, cause a significant decline in travel volumes include, among other things:
•widespread health concerns, epidemics or pandemics;
•global security concerns caused by terrorist attacks, the threat of terrorist attacks, or the precautions taken in anticipation of such attacks, including elevated threat warnings or selective cancellation or redirection of travel;
•cyber-terrorism, political unrest, the outbreak of hostilities or escalation or worsening of existing hostilities or war;
•natural disasters or severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes;
•climate change-related impact to travel destinations, such as extreme weather, natural disasters and disruptions, and actions taken by governments, businesses and supplier partners to combat climate change;
•the occurrence of travel-related accidents or the grounding of aircraft due to safety concerns;
•adverse changes in visa and immigration policies or the imposition of travel restrictions or more restrictive security procedures; and
•any decrease in demand for consumer or business travel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating results are impacted by our ability to manage costs and expenses, while achieving a balance between making appropriate investments to grow revenue and increase profitability.
Cost and expense management will have a direct impact on our financial performance. We may look to drive revenue growth through investments in marketing, technology, and acquisitions to increase our net revenue, product offerings, revenue per transaction, and ultimately market share. These investments will need to be weighed against creating a more cost-efficient business to reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Operating Metrics
Our financial results are driven by certain operating metrics that encompass the business activity generated by our travel-related services. Transactions represent the number of travel reservations that were processed on Mondee’s platform during the period. Gross bookings are defined as the total dollar value, generally inclusive of taxes and fees, of all travel reservations through our platform between a third-party seller or service provider and the traveler booking on our platform, net of cancellations. Revenue may increase as a result of an increase in the number of travelers booking on our platform or as a result of an increase in service fees from higher value services offered on the platform. Take rate is defined as revenues as a percentage of gross bookings.
We consider these operating metrics to correlate to our commission revenues and incentive revenues recognized, and are therefore, useful units of measurement for investors. We also use these operating metrics as part of our overall assessment of the Company’s operational performance and for its preparation of operating budget and forecasts.
Transactions, gross bookings and take rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were as follows (gross bookings are disclosed in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| 2024 | | | 2023 | | | |
Transactions | 1,075,437 | | | | 665,173 | | | | |
Gross bookings | $ | 708,076 | | | | $ | 668,079 | | | | |
Take rate | 8.2 | % | | | 7.5 | % | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Components of Results of Operation
Revenues, Net
Our revenues are primarily generated from our Travel Marketplace segment wherein Travel Transaction Revenues are earned by providing online travel reservation services on behalf of our travel product vendors to travelers, and Fintech Program Revenues are earned from banks and financial institutions based on the travel booking spend processed through fintech programs partnered with our platform.
Our Travel Transaction Revenue includes mark-up fees, commissions and incentives, and is recorded net of estimated cancellation and refunds. Our mark-up fees and certain commissions are earned at ticketing, as our performance obligation is satisfied upon issuance of the ticket or reservation details to the traveler. We also earn certain commissions and incentives per booking when the underlying trip is taken by the traveler. Our Travel Transaction Revenues are all priced on a booking basis, where the commission and incentive rates could be either flat fees or tiered fixed percentages and are subject to frequent modifications in a dynamic market. From time to time, we issue credits or refunds to the traveler in the event of cancellations. At ticketing, when a travel booking service is performed and our single performance obligation has been fulfilled, we make an estimate for variable consideration based on cumulative booking, which is calculated per applicable pricing tier. Additionally, when the same travel booking is processed, we make an estimate for variable consideration for the traveler taking the trip, to the extent that there is a risk of significant reversal constraining the variable consideration, until the trip is taken, since the occurrence of the trip can be influenced by outside factors, such as the actions of travelers and weather conditions. We recognize Fintech Program Revenues at a point in time when the payment of the trip booked by traveler is settled through the fintech program partnered with our Company.
We also generate revenue by providing subscription-based platform access that offers businesses and consumers the ability to purchase travel services directly on the platform.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are generally variable in nature and consist primarily of: (1) credit cards and other payment processing fees associated with merchant transactions; (2) advertising and affiliate marketing costs; (3) fees paid to third parties that provide call center, website content translations, fraud protection services, and other services; (4) customer relation costs; and (5) customer chargeback provisions.
We rely on marketing channels to generate a significant amount of traffic to our websites. Marketing expenses consist primarily of the costs of (1) advertising, which are expensed as incurred and consist of digital and physical advertising; and (2) affiliate marketing programs.
We utilize affiliate marketing to promote travel product sales and generate bookings through our website and platform. Our platform provides affiliates with technology and access to a wide range of products and services. We pay commission to third-party affiliates for the bookings originated through our website and platform based on targeted merchandising and promotional strategies implemented by us from time to time. We intend to continue making significant investments in marketing to drive additional revenue, increase our market share, and expand our global customer base. As a result, we expect our marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expect to invest in growing and training our sales force and broadening our brand awareness.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of: (1) occupancy and office expenses; (2) fees for outside professionals, including legal and accounting services; (3) audit and tax fees; and (4) other miscellaneous expenses, including changes in the fair value of acquisition earn-outs. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, additional insurance expenses (including directors’ and officers’ insurance), investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to
increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. However, we anticipate general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.
Personnel Expenses
Personnel expenses consist of compensation to our personnel, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, and employee health and other benefits, as well as stock-based compensation expense. We expect to incur additional personnel expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expanding head count through organic growth as well as increasing headcount through mergers and acquisitions. However, we anticipate personnel expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.
Information Technology Expenses
Information Technology expenses consist primarily of: (1) software license and system maintenance fees; (2) outsourced data center and web hosting costs; (3) payments to contractors; and (4) data communications and other expenses associated with operating our services. We expect to incur additional Information Technology expenses as a result of operating, including expanding our operations through growth of our online booking platform and hosting fees. We also expect an increase in Information Technology expenses to support the growth of our business. However, we anticipate Information Technology expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of: (1) amortization of intangible assets with determinable lives; (2) depreciation of computer equipment; (3) amortization of internally developed and purchased software; and (4) depreciation of furniture and office equipment. We expect to incur additional depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expanding our operations through capital expenditures and purchases of long-lived assets, as well as potential impacts of our continued mergers and acquisitions strategy. However, we anticipate depreciation and amortization expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of: (1) interest income; (2) interest expense; (3) other income and expense, (4) changes in the fair value of our private placement warrant liability, and (5) net expenses incurred on the divestiture of LBF Travel Inc, LBF Travel Holdings LLC, Avia Travel and Tours Inc, and Star Advantage Limited (collectively, “LBF US”) and LBF US transition services. Other expenses include realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange.
Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes
We are subject to payment of federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and other forms of income taxes in other jurisdictions. Consequently, we determine our consolidated provision for income taxes based on tax obligations incurred using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the condensed consolidated financial statements and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax assets are recorded net of a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
We evaluate uncertain tax positions to determine if it is more likely than not that such tax positions would be sustained upon examination. We record a liability when such uncertainties fail to meet the more likely than not threshold.
A U.S. shareholder is subject to current tax on “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”) of its controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”). We are subject to tax under GILTI provisions and include our CFCs’ income in our U.S. income tax provision in the period that the CFCs earn the income.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
We have derived this data from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased by $8.1 million or 16% compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the expanded market and business associated with the acquisitions of Orinter Tour & Travel, S.A. (“Orinter”), Interep Representações Viagens E Turismo S.A. (“Interep”), Consolid Mexico Holding, S.A. P.I. de C.V. (“Consolid”), and Skypass Travel Inc, Skypass Travel de Mexico Sa de CV, Skypass Travel
Private Limited and Skypass Holidays, LLC (collectively, “Skypass”), during 2023 on our integrated technology platform. Because we merged customers and supplier relationships from the business acquisitions into consolidated operations, separating revenues specifically from these acquired entities becomes impractical.
The revenues, net increase is primarily contributed by our Travel Marketplace segment. Revenues from our Travel Marketplace segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $8.2 million or 17% compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase of commission revenues earned from mark-up fees on airline ticket sales, travel packages, hotel accommodations, and other travel products and travel services.
The revenue growth in our Travel Marketplace segment in 2024 was primarily impacted by a 6% increase in the value of gross bookings and 62% increase in the number of transactions processed in our Travel Marketplace, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. Refer to our Factors Affecting Our Performance – Operating Metrics for further details.
Operating Expenses and Other (Income) Expense
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $2.8 million or 8% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $6.8 million, or 25%, in affiliate marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 due to additional sales and marketing activities, along with our expanded presence as a result of acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, Consolid and Skypass in 2023. This increase in affiliate marketing expense was offset by a decrease in web advertising expenses of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Personnel Expenses
Personnel expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $5.8 million or 77% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to additional employee headcount from the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, Consolid, and Skypass during 2023, which contributed to $5.1 million in payroll expense and increase in stock-based compensation of $3.1 million due to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued subsequent to the first quarter of 2023. These increases were offset by a decrease in payroll expense incurred by the legacy business of $2.4 million.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $1.3 million or 29% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the fair value remeasurement impact of earn-out consideration in the current period.
Information Technology Expenses
Information Technology expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased by $1.1 million or 124% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in web hosting cost of $0.5 million, an increase software expenses of $0.4 million and an increase in third-party IT professional services of $0.2 million.
Provision for Credit Losses, Net
Provision for credit losses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $0.3 million, or 40%, compared to the same period in 2023, due to changes in estimated recovery of accounts receivable.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $2.2 million or 64% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization from additional capitalized software and an increase in amortization of intangibles as a result of the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, Consolid, Skypass and Purplegrids subsequent to the first quarter of 2023.
Restructuring Expense, Net
Restructuring expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $1.8 million or 119% compared to the same period in 2023. Restructuring activities were substantially complete in 2023, and amounts recorded to restructuring expense in the first quarter of 2024, were a result of a gain recognized on the early termination of a lease offset by one-time severance payments.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $0.2 million or 51% compared to the same period in 2023.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $1.7 million or 21% compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase was primarily due to interest incurred of $1.8 million for upfront collection of other receivables by Orinter and Interep. The remaining increase was due to market increases in the SOFR benchmark and additional debt amendment fees incurred on our Term Loan.
Changes in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
Changes in fair value of warrant liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was a change of $0.1 million. The change was primarily due to the decrease in fair value of the Company’s private warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to losses on foreign currency exchange generated in foreign operations as result of the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep and Consolid.
Income Taxes
The following table presents the calculation of the effective income tax rate (dollars in thousands):

Effective income tax rate | | (3.43) | % | | (5.72) | % |
The effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the terms “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Net Loss” and “Adjusted Net Loss Per Share” to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. We consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share to be important non-GAAP financial measures, because they illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share are helpful to our investors in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance.
In addition, we believe the following non-GAAP measure, “Free Cash Flow”, is helpful in evaluating our liquidity. We use Free Cash Flow to measure cash generated internally that is available to service debt and fund inorganic growth or acquisitions and believe that this measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our liquidity. We consider Free Cash Flow to be an important non-GAAP financial measure because it illustrates underlying trends in our business and is helpful to our investors in assessing our liquidity.
Non-GAAP financial information, which 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 U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Financial measures that are non-GAAP should not be considered as alternatives to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, or cash flows as measures of liquidity. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance, which provides useful information to investors, analysts and rating agencies. By reporting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) provision for income taxes; (3) interest expense, net; (4) other income (expense), net; (5) stock-based compensation and the related payroll tax expense; (6) restructuring and related costs; (7) acquisition-related costs (including bank fees, due diligence fees, etc.); (8) legal costs pertaining to acquisitions, and other filings which are not ordinary and outside the course of our business; (9) changes in fair value attributable to earn-out and warrant liabilities; and (10) and certain other expenses that could include those expenses that are non-recurring.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations, and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.
Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are as follows: (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. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, our investors should be aware that in the future we may not incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Lastly, Adjusted EBITDA can obfuscate the one-time impacts of events that happen out of the ordinary course of business to the extent those occur.
The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, certain other expenses include expenses related to $0.2 million transaction filing fees and $0.3 million for professional service expenses for other non-recurring activities.
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance, providing useful information to investors, analysts and rating agencies. By reporting Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss before (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) amortization of intangibles; (3) provision for income taxes; (4) certain other operating expenses.
The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted Net Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

refinancing related costs and certain other legal expenses for non-recurring transactions.
We define Adjusted Net Loss Per Share as the per share earnings based on the Company’s Adjusted Net Loss attributable to common stockholders, which includes dividends accrued for preferred stockholders, in the respective periods presented. The following table reconciles net loss per share to Adjusted Net Loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a key measure that is relevant to investors because it provides a measure of cash generated internally that is available both to service debt and to fund inorganic growth or acquisitions and provides useful information to investors regarding our liquidity. By reporting Free Cash Flow, we provide a basis for comparison of our cash generated internally between current, past and future periods. Free Cash Flow has the same limitations as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share in that it does not consider the capital structure of our Company. Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure, is defined as cash provided by or used in operating activities, less capital expenditures.
We believe the presentation of Free Cash Flow is relevant and useful for investors because it measures cash generated from operations after payment of capital expenditures that we can use to invest in our business and meet our current and future financing needs.
The following table reconciles net cash used in operating activities to Free Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As of March 31, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were $47.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, which were held for working capital purposes, as well as our revolving credit facility (“TCW LOC”) available for draw down of $15.0 million. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been payments received from our revenue arrangements and financing arrangements with banks and financial institutions.
As of March 31, 2024, $21.6 million of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. In the event that we repatriate these funds from our foreign subsidiaries, we may need to accrue and pay applicable United States taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. As of March 31, 2024, our intent was to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States, unless such funds can be repatriated without material tax consequences.
Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for withholding taxes, U.S. state income taxes or other taxes that would result upon repatriation of approximately $23.4 million of undistributed earnings from these foreign subsidiaries as those earnings and any excess of financial reporting over the tax basis of these foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the United States due to the complexity of the underlying calculation. The majority of the undistributed earnings would have been previously-taxed for U.S. federal income taxes as a result of the 2017 U.S. Tax and Jobs Act. Although we have no intention to repatriate the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, if such funds are needed for operations in the United States, to the extent applicable and material, we will revise future filings to address the potential tax implications.
Although we have incurred both net loss and accumulated deficit and net cash outflow from operations from inception to date, in our opinion, our liquidity position provides sufficient capital resources to meet our foreseeable cash needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings, including refinancing activities, if any, will be available on terms acceptable to us.
In addition, we have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC not yet effective. Specific information on the terms of and the securities being offered will be provided at the time of the applicable offering. Proceeds from any future offerings are expected to be used for corporate purposes or other purposes to be disclosed at the time of offering.
Financial Position
As of March 31, 2024, we had $38.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $8.5 million of restricted cash and short-term investments, and $15.0 million in the unused TCW LOC. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Fourteenth Amendment on the Term Loan was executed on May 7, 2024, and provided for an extension of the maturity date to June 30, 2025. The amended Term Loan provides for principal and interest payments on the Term Loan ranging from $32.1 million to $41.6 million due within 12 months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. We had the option to refinance our Term Loan prior to maturity, and as the Term Loan was not refinanced by April 2024, we were subject to refinancing fees payable on the Term Loan at 0.50% of the outstanding principal balance starting April 2024 and every month thereafter. Additionally, we were obligated to make payments of $4.3 million to the sellers of Orinter and Interep for achieving their first tranche of earn-outs, and such earn-outs have been paid in April 2024 subsequently.
As of the date of issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that the cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities, and access to funds under our TCW LOC will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the subsequent 12 months.
Term Loan Amendments
On January 17, 2024, we entered into that certain Amendment No. 12 (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to that certain financing agreement with TCW, dated as of December 23, 2019 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan”. The Twelfth Amendment (1) provided consent to the Company’s acquisition of Purplegrids, Inc. (“Purplegrids)”; (2) required that the Company pledge 100% of the equity interests of Purple Grids; (3) defers a portion of the principal and interest payments due in December 2023 to the termination of the Term Loan; (4) defers certain refinancing milestones and modifies certain liquidity requirements; (5) modifies the payment of certain administrative fees to quarterly rather than annually; and (7) provides for the payment of certain fees.
On March 11, 2024, we executed a thirteenth amendment to the Terms Loan (the “Thirteenth Amendment”). The Thirteenth Amendment (1) provided an extension of the maturity on the Term Loan to March 31, 2025 while the Company works to finalize a long-term facility; (2) no event of default for any refinancing milestone; (iii) extends the date on which a refinancing fee is potentially payable to April 30, 2024; (iv) defers a portion of the principal amortization due in March 2024 to the earlier of the date of the refinancing of the credit facility or June 30, 2024, and capitalizes a part of interest due in March 2024; (v) waives any events of default that may have occurred prior to the Amendment; and (vi) provides for a fee of $0.4 million “paid in kind” and added to the outstanding principal of the Term Loan.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $18.7 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss totaling $19.5 million, which was offset by non-cash charges of $19.3 million primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization of $5.6 million, stock-based compensation of $5.3 million, amortization of loan origination fees of $1.9 million, paid in kind (“PIK”) interest expense of $5.5 million. Cash provided by our operating assets and liabilities was $18.8 million, primarily due to a $10.7 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $14.8 million increase in accounts payable, which was offset by a $1.7 million increase in contract assets, a $0.8 million increase in other non-current assets and a $3.4 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $10.0 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss of $12.9 million, which was offset by non-cash charges of $8.9 million primarily consisting of stock-based compensation of $2.6 million, PIK interest expense of $1.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $3.4 million. Cash provided from changes in our operating assets and liabilities was $6.0 million, primarily owing to a $11.0 million increase in accounts payable, and $0.4 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. These increases were offset by a $17.9 million increase in accounts receivable, $0.6 million increase in prepaid expense and other current assets, and $1.3 million increase in contract assets.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million, which was primarily due to the purchase of property, equipment and software.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $20.4 million, which was primarily due to cash paid for the Orinter Acquisition and the purchase of property and equipment.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million due to $1.2 million repayment of debt and $0.7 million of payments to tax on vested restricted stock units.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $10.1 million primarily due to $15.0 million in proceeds funded by Wingspire Capital LLC in addition to the already outstanding term loan (the “Wingspire Term Loan”), offset by the repayment of debt and offering costs.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes, other than extension of the maturity date on the Term Loan, in our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations as disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Part I, Item 1, Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for recently adopted accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations in the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business. Our market risk exposure is primarily the effect of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Debt
Our debt obligations consist of a variety of financial instruments that expose us to interest rate risk, including, but not limited to the TCW and Wingspire Team Loans (“TCW financing arrangement”). The interest rate on the TCW financing arrangement is tied to short-term interest rate benchmarks including the Adjusted Term SOFR. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate for the outstanding loan is SOFR + 8.5%. The SOFR is closely related to the Fed Funds and a change in interest rate could potentially change the loan interest rate.
Foreign Currency Risk
Prior to fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, nearly all of our sales and expenses have been denominated in U.S. dollars. Beginning in 2023, a portion of our revenues and operating expenses were incurred outside the United States, denominated in foreign currencies, and subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Brazilian real, Canadian dollars, Mexican Pesos and Indian rupees. The functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is that country’s local currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded to other income (expense), net.
If a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the U.S. dollar against other currencies, the impact for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2023 would not have been material. Furthermore, many of our travel customers travel internationally and any changes in the exchange rate between their home currency and the currency of their intended destination may influence their travel purchases. Our Brazilian operating entities occasionally enter into
hedging transactions, in order to minimize the risks of foreign currency fluctuations. These instruments are typically short-term and are recorded at fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the liability related to these transactions amount was not material and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a total of $0.2 million gains on other income (expense), net.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
Management's Remediation Efforts
Our remediation efforts previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 to address the material weaknesses mentioned are ongoing as we continue to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. While we believe the steps taken to date and those planned for future implementation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not completed all remediation efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

In addition, from time to time, the Company may be a party to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risk or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
