SEC.gov | Request Rate Threshold Exceeded

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

You’ve Exceeded the SEC’s Traffic Limit

Your request rate has exceeded the SEC’s maximum allowable requests per second. Your access to SEC.gov will be limited for 10 minutes.

Current guidelines limit each user to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests. To ensure that SEC.gov remains available to all users, we reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests.

The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

A Note to

Our Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

In the first quarter of 2026, we beat the top end of our revenue guidance, delivered our second consecutive quarter of positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and translated the AI-native foundation we finished building at the end of 2025 into shipped, learner-facing product at a cadence we have never matched in this company’s history.

Revenue was $48.7 million, above the top end of our $46 to $48 million guidance range and up 2% year-over-year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was positive $1.0 million, ahead of our guidance of approximately breakeven, and improved by $7.3 million compared to Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by more than 1,500 basis points year-over-year - our third consecutive quarter of sequential margin improvement, and roughly $30 million of annualized operating leverage on a flat top line. Gross margin reached 66.2%, an expansion of more than 800 basis points year-over-year. We ended the quarter with $44.7 million of cash on the balance sheet.

Three things stood out. First, the product velocity that we said an AI-native codebase would unlock is now visible in shipped product - with a meaningful slate of additional learner-facing releases reaching customers in the weeks ahead. Second, our cost structure is structurally - not cyclically - better, and AI is the reason. Third, the year-over-year rate of decline in Active Members narrowed for a third consecutive quarter, and we expect to return to positive growth by the end of 2026. I’ll spend the bulk of this letter on the first.

Consumer Product Velocity: Live+AI™ Comes to Life

When we finished re-platforming on an AI-native codebase at the end of 2025, we said the point of that work was not the architecture itself - it was the speed and quality of what we could ship on top of it. Q1 was the first full quarter operating in that new mode, and the cadence has fundamentally changed.

The most visible expression of that shift is our new Learner Experience - internally referred to as V3 - which became the universal customer experience and surface for our Consumer business in March. Every newly acquired customer is now onboarded directly into V3, and we have begun migrating existing customers as well. Roughly 6,000 new customers came in directly on V3 in the back half of the quarter, and approximately 10,000 existing customers have been moved over from the prior experience and we are seeing strong early signal and optimizing rapidly in response to user behavior and customer feedback, which is broadly positive with a constant point of feedback being it looks/feels like a whole different company or product. The same platform will imminently power our institutional offering, which we expect to expand the market opportunity in institutional beyond the more limited K-12 high-dosage tutoring market that business primarily targeted.

Inside V3, the centerpiece for the learner is Maya, our AI concierge. Maya is the always-on guide built into the experience - she answers inbound questions, surfaces the right next step, helps a student find a diagnostic, and resolves day-to-day issues like rescheduling a session, all without a phone call or a support ticket. She is available twenty-four hours a day, in the context of each student’s actual learning plan and past interactions including full context on past tutoring sessions, product interactions, diagnostic and practice-related engagement and results, and more. She now handles a meaningful share of in-product customer interactions. For a student or a parent, Maya turns a platform into a relationship that feels alive, responsive, and easy.

Around Maya, V3 brings together the rest of the family experience. Our native mobile app launched in the App Store in Q1 and is approaching full feature parity with the web, with releases now shipping to mobile within 48 hours of going live.

The Tutor Gallery lets families browse tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and book with guaranteed availability through Book Now. We launched Games, a set of six math and English Language Arts (“ELA”) titles built to drive daily engagement. We also launched On-Demand Courses, converting top Live Classes into self-paced courses with full supporting materials. We are launching with more than 350 of these courses that collectively span thousands of hours of live instruction.

These updates shipped together as part of V3. They give families more ways to engage with our platform between live sessions, creating additional retention opportunities.

We are seeing the early signal in the numbers. Active Members ended the quarter at 36.9 thousand, down 9% year-over-year, but the rate of decline has narrowed for three consecutive quarters. Customer churn improved meaningfully year-over-year. Average Revenue per Member per Month (“ARPM”) was $374, up 12%, and Learning Membership revenue grew 3% to $38
