TALKSPACE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Talkspace, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Talkspace”) is a leading behavioral healthcare company enabled by a purpose-built technology platform. Talkspace provides individuals and licensed therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists with an online platform for one-on-one therapy delivered via messaging, audio and video. The Company offers convenient and affordable access to a fully credentialed network of highly qualified providers. Since its inception, the Company has connected millions of patients with licensed behavioral health providers across a wide and growing spectrum of care through virtual counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatry.
The Company's principal executive office is located in New York, NY. The Company's subsidiaries are Talkspace LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Talkspace Network LLC, and Groop Internet Platform LTD. In addition, the Company holds a variable interest in one professional association and eight professional corporations, which have been established pursuant to the requirements of their respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine. These entities are considered Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"). See Note 10, “Variable Interest Entities,” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, have been applied consistently in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
The Company consolidates all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recognition and disclosure of revenue recognition, stock-based compensation awards and the fair value of warrant liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. The Company evaluates its assumptions on an ongoing basis. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information, therefore, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023- 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities
to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.
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.
NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to perform its defined contractual obligations to provide virtual behavioral healthcare services. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company will be entitled in exchange for the service rendered. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Through its platform, Talkspace serves:
Payor
The Company contracts with health insurance plans and employee assistance programs to provide therapy and psychiatry services to their eligible covered members. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, as virtual therapy or psychiatry sessions are rendered. The transaction price is determined based on contracted rates and includes variable consideration in the form of implicit price concessions. The Company determines the total transaction price, including an estimate of variable consideration, at contract inception and reassesses this estimate at each reporting date. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price primarily based on actual historical collection experience for each Payor. Revenue is presented net of implicit price concessions. Payor contracts include annual evergreen clauses and generally may be terminated by either party typically upon a minimum 60-day advance notice.
DTE
The Company contracts with enterprises to provide access to the Company's therapist platform for their enterprise members, primarily based on a per-member-per-month access fee model. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, revenue is recognized using the variable consideration allocation exception, or, if the allocation exception is not met, the Company recognizes revenue ratably based on estimates of the variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequent resolved. The majority of DTE contracts typically range in length from one to three years and are generally non-cancelable during the initial contractual term.
8
Consumer
The Company also generates revenues from the sale of monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual membership subscriptions to the Company's therapy platform as well as supplementary a la carte offerings directly to individual consumers through a subscription plan. The Company recognizes consumer revenues ratably over the subscription period, beginning when therapy services commence. The Company recognizes revenues from supplementary a la carte offerings at a point in time, as virtual therapy sessions are rendered. Members may cancel their subscription at any time and will receive a pro-rata refund for the subscription price. The transaction price from member subscription revenue and supplementary a la carte offerings includes variable consideration in the form of refunds. Revenue is presented net of refunds. The Company estimates the refund liability for the variable consideration portion of the transaction price primarily based on historical experience. The refund liability is recorded within the “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” line item in the consolidated balance sheets. The refund liability was immaterial as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues from sales to unaffiliated customers disaggregated by revenue source:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company had receivables related to revenue from DTE customers of $
Accounts receivables are stated net of credit losses allowance. The Company’s methodology for estimating credit loss is based on historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, current and future economic condition and market condition. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Accounts receivables are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount have been exhausted. Credit losses were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments from customers are received in advance of the Company's performance obligation to provide services. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue related mainly to consumer subscriptions. The Company expects to satisfy the majority of its performance obligations associated with deferred revenue within one year or less. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each reporting period was immaterial.
NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of the underlying assets or liabilities. Money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because these assets are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
The Company's Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and thereafter on a recurring, quarterly basis, with changes in fair value presented within the statement of operations (financial income, net) line item. The Private Placement Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the implied volatility from trading prices of the Company's Public Warrants, significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Litigation
The Company may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for estimated loss contingencies related to legal matters when available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss. In many proceedings, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where a loss is possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is often not possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss or possible additional losses or range of additional losses. As of March 31, 2024, there were
Warranties and Indemnification
The Company’s arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if there is a breach of a customer’s data or if the Company’s service infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications.
The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person’s services as a director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company’s request. The Company maintains director and officer liability insurance coverage that would generally enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.
NOTE 6. CAPITAL STOCK
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a)
On February 22, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to $
The Company may repurchase shares through various methods, including open market purchases and privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Such purchases will be at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate, based on factors such as price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, alternative investment opportunities and other business considerations. All shares purchased will be canceled. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
NOTE 7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In June 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) under which the Company may grant cash and equity incentive awards to officers, employees, directors, consultants and service providers in order to attract, motivate and retain talent. The 2021 Plan replaced the Company's previous stock compensation plan.
All stock-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are generally recognized on a straight-line basis in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (generally requiring a four-year vesting period).

NOTE 10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES ("VIEs")
Under the provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation”, an entity consolidates a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company has determined that it is able to direct the activities of TPN and the PC entities that most significantly impact their economic performance and it funds and absorbs all losses of these VIEs resulting in the Company being the primary beneficiary of these entities. Accordingly, the Company consolidates these VIEs.
The following table details the assets and liabilities of the VIEs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The assets and liabilities in the table below are presented prior to consolidation and thus a portion of these assets and liabilities are eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section as to “Talkspace,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of Talkspace, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the financial statements and the related notes contained in this Quarterly Report and the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze our consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Overview
Talkspace is a healthcare company offering its members convenient and affordable access to a fully-credentialed network of highly qualified providers. We are a leading virtual behavioral health company and, since Talkspace’s founding in 2012, we have connected millions of patients with licensed mental health providers across a wide and growing spectrum of care through virtual counseling, psychotherapy and psychiatry. We created a purpose-built platform to address the vast, unmet and growing demand for mental health services of our members, serving our payor customers (“Payor”), comprised of health plans and employee assistance programs such as Aetna, Cigna, and Optum, who offer their insured members access to our platform at in-network reimbursement rates; our Direct-to-Enterprise customers ("DTE") comprised of enterprises such as Google, the University of Kentucky and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, who offer their enterprise members access to our platform while their enterprise is under an active contract with Talkspace; and individual consumers ("Consumer") who subscribe directly to our platform.
As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately 131.4 million eligible lives compared to 98 million eligible lives as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we had over 11,100 consumer active members compared to 15,100 consumer active members as of March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our clinicians completed 284,200 sessions related to members covered under our Payor customers, compared to 171,700 completed sessions for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Please refer to the “Key Business Metrics” section below for a description of eligible lives and consumer active members.
Inflation Risk and Economic Conditions
The demand for our solution is dependent on the general economy, which is in turn affected by geopolitical conditions, the stability of the global credit markets, inflationary pressures, increasing interest rates, the industries in which our Payor and DTE customers operate or serve, and other factors. Downturns in the general economy could disproportionately affect the demand for our solution and cause it to decrease.
Our operations could also be impacted by inflation and increased interest rates. Inflation did not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures (such as Provider cost), we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases or cost savings. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Operating Segments
The Company operates as a single segment, which is how the chief operating decision maker (who is the chief executive officer) reviews financial performance and allocates resources.

Key Business Metrics
We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following metrics are useful in evaluating our business:

Eligible Lives: We consider eligible lives “eligible” if such persons are eligible to receive treatment on the Talkspace platform, in the case of our Payor customers, at an agreed upon reimbursement rate through insurance under an employee assistance program or other network behavioral health paid benefit program. There may be instances where a person may be covered through multiple solutions, typically through behavioral health plans and employee assistance programs. In these instances, the person is counted each time they are covered in the eligible lives calculation, which may cause this amount to reflect a higher number of eligible lives than we actually serve.
Active Members: We consider consumer members “active” commencing on the date such member initiates contact with a provider on our platform until the term of their monthly, quarterly or bi-annual subscription plan expires, unless terminated early.
Unique Payor Active Members: Represents unique users who had a session completed during the period.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We generate revenues from services provided to individuals who are qualified to receive access to the Company's services through our commercial arrangements with health insurance plans, employee assistance organizations and enterprises. We also generate revenues from the sale of monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual membership subscriptions to the Company's therapy platform as well as supplementary a la carte offerings directly to individual consumers through a subscription plan. See Note 3, “Revenue Recognition” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Revenue growth is generated from a combination of increasing our eligible covered lives through contracting with health insurance plans and employee assistance organizations, increasing utilization within eligible covered lives, expanding enterprise customers, and increasing membership subscriptions.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of therapist payments. Cost of revenues is largely driven by number of sessions and the size of our provider network that is required to service the growth of our health plan and enterprise customers, in addition to the growth of our customer base.
We designed our business model and our provider network to be scalable and to leverage a hybrid model of both employee providers and independently contracted providers to support multiple growth scenarios. The compensation paid to our independently contracted providers is variable, and the amount paid to a provider is generally based on the amount of time committed by such provider to our members. Our employee providers receive a fixed-salary and discretionary bonuses, where applicable, all of which is included in cost of revenues.
15
While we expect to make increased investments to support accelerated growth and the required investment to scale our provider network, we also expect increased efficiencies and economies of scale. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is expected to fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these factors as well as pricing fluctuations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of research and development, clinical operations, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include personnel and related expenses for software development and engineering, information technology infrastructure, security, privacy compliance and product development (inclusive of stock-based compensation for our research and development employees), third-party services and contractors related to research and development, information technology and software-related costs.
Clinical Operations Expenses
Clinical operations expenses are associated with the management of our network of therapists. This item is comprised of costs related to recruiting, onboarding, credentialing, training and ongoing quality assurance activities (inclusive of stock-based compensation for our clinical operations employees), costs of third-party services and contractors related to recruiting and training and software-related costs.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, commissions, travel and stock-based compensation costs for our employees engaged in sales and account management.
Marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and marketing expenses for member acquisition and engagement, as well as personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense for marketing employees, third-party services and contractors. Marketing expenses also include third-party software subscription services, third-party independent research, participation in trade shows, brand messaging and costs of communications materials that are produced for our customers to generate greater awareness and utilization of our platform among our Payor and DTE customers.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense for certain executives, finance, accounting, legal and human resources functions, as well as professional fees, occupancy costs, and other general overhead costs.
Financial (income), net
Financial (income), net includes the impact from (i) non-cash changes in the fair value of our warrant liabilities, (ii) interest earned on cash equivalents deposited in our money market accounts and (iii) other financial expenses in connection with bank charges.
Taxes on income
Taxes on income consists primarily of foreign income taxes related to income generated by our subsidiary organized under the laws of Israel. Taxes on income were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
We have a full valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets, including federal and state NOLs. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized through expected future taxable income in the United States.

Revenues. Revenues increased by $12.1 million, or 36.2% to $45.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was principally due to a 92.5% increase in Payor revenue driven by a higher number of completed payor sessions, and a 14.3% growth in DTE revenue, partially offset by a 29.0% decline in Consumer revenue. Revenue from our Payor customers increased by $13.7 million, or 92.5%, to $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Revenue from our DTE customers increased by $1.2 million, or 14.3% to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Consumer revenue decreased by $2.9 million, or 29.0%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the Company's intentional and strategic decision to optimize and focus marketing efforts on attracting payor members. While we no longer have marketing resources dedicated solely to the Consumer category, it continues to have a positive contribution to our financial results.
Costs of revenues. Cost of revenues increased by $7.1 million, or 42.8%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to increased hours worked by therapists to meet increased member engagement.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $5.0 million, or 29.8%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's revenues.
Gross margin was 47.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 50.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decline in gross margin was driven by a shift in revenue mix towards Payor.
Operating expenses
Overall, our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have decreased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to our efforts to achieve greater operational efficiency.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 30.2% to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in employee-related costs, inclusive of non-cash stock compensation expense.
17
Clinical operations expenses. Clinical operations expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 8.6% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in clinical operations expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to employee-related costs, inclusive of non-cash stock compensation expense.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 3.4%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in subcontractor costs and direct marketing and promotional costs, partially offset by an increase in employee-related costs, inclusive of non-cash stock compensation expense.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.1%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in subcontractor costs, recruitment costs and employee-related costs, inclusive of non-cash stock compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
Financial (income), net. Financial (income), net was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 financial income, net, primarily consisted of interest income earned on our money market accounts of $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, partially offset by $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in non-cash losses resulting from the remeasurement of warrant liabilities.
Taxes on income. Taxes on income consists primarily of foreign income taxes related to income generated by our subsidiary organized under the laws of Israel. Taxes on income were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance, and our management uses it as a key performance measure to assess our 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 and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. We also use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding 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 believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance. 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.
Some of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA include (i) adjusted EBITDA does not necessarily 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 requirements. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments described herein. 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. Our adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss before income taxes, net loss, loss per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.
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 our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
18
We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA guidance as the amount and significance of the reconciling items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts. These reconciling items could be meaningful.
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net loss income adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest and other expenses (income), net, (iii) tax benefit and expense, and (iv) stock-based compensation expense.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, we had $120.3 million of cash and cash equivalents ($123.9 million as of December 31, 2023), which we use to finance our operations and support a variety of growth initiatives and investments. We had no debt as of March 31, 2024.
Our primary cash needs are to fund operating activities and invest in technology development. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, contract renewal activity, the timing and extent of investments to support product development efforts, our expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced service offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of virtual behavioral services. Additionally, we may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies.
We currently anticipate to be able to fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future using available cash and cash equivalent balances as of March 31, 2024. However, in the future we may require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics, customer demands, business and investment opportunities, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and we may determine to engage in equity or debt financings for other reasons. We may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could experience significant dilution. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we cannot raise capital when needed, we may be forced to undertake asset sales or similar measures to ensure adequate liquidity.

Operating Activities
The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by a lower net loss, an improvement in collections of receivables and a favorable timing of payments of accrued expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was driven primarily by an increase in capitalized internal-use software costs which is included within purchase of property and equipment in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023.
Financing Activities
The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was driven primarily by an increase in taxes paid related to vested stock-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any short-term or long-term debt, or significant long-term liabilities. As of March 31, 2024, we have a non-material long-term operating lease for our office space in New York, NY.
We may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of business. We accrue for estimated loss contingencies related to legal matters when available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss. In many proceedings, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where a loss is possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is often not possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss or possible additional losses or range of additional losses. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. As of March 31, 2024 there were no material legal proceedings, claims or litigation.
Our commercial contract arrangements generally include certain provisions requiring us to indemnify customers against liabilities if there is a breach of a customer’s data or if our service infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications.
We have also agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as our director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request. We maintain director and officer liability insurance coverage that would generally enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of our employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.
20
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Reference is also made to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s accounting policies are essential to understanding and interpreting the financial results reported on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are summarized in Note 2 to those financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain of those policies are considered to be particularly important to the presentation of the Company's financial results because they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to matters discussed under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, industry and business trends, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, business strategy, plans and market growth.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and other such statements we publicly make from time-to-time are only predictions. We base these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the important factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly, 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.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any forward-looking statements we may publicly make from time-to-time, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to the information contained in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2024, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective to provide reasonable assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate each quarter whether there are changes that 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, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. 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.
