Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On February 28, 2025, MarketWise, Inc.(the “Company”) issued an earnings press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. A copy of the earnings press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is herein incorporated by reference. The foregoing information (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events. On February 28, 2025, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of Class A common stock. Repurchases of Class A common stock may be made from time to time, either through open market transactions (including pre-set trading plans) or through other transactions, at the discretion of the management of the Company and in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable securities laws. The timing of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other requirements. Repurchases under the program have been authorized for the next 12 months but the program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares. For each share of Class A common stock the Company repurchases under the share repurchase program, MarketWise, LLC, the Company’s direct subsidiary, will redeem one common unit of MarketWise, LLC held by the Company, decreasing the percentage ownership of MarketWise, LLC by the Company and relatively increasing the ownership by the other unitholders of MarketWise, LLC. On February 28, 2025, the Company also filed a preliminary proxy statement for the approval of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1:20, to decrease the number of authorized shares of (a) all classes of stock from 1,350,000,000 to 162,500,000, (b) the Class A common stock from 950,000,000 to 47,500,000 and (c) the Class B common stock from 300,000,000 to 15,000,000 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split is intended to, among other things, bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company plans to file a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A and other relevant materials with the SEC, and promptly thereafter, the Company will mail the definitive proxy statement to the stockholders of the Company.

About MarketWise Inc. (MKTW) Earnings

This page provides MarketWise Inc. (MKTW) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on MKTW's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
