TRAVELZOO

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) The Company and Basis of Presentation

Travelzoo (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company” or “we”) is a global Internet media company. It operates Travelzoo®, the club for travel enthusiasts, and Jack’s Flight Club®, a subscription service that provides information about exceptional airfares. Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers.

Through its websites, e-mail newsletters, iOS and Android apps, and social media channels, Travelzoo provides members information and access to exclusive discounted travel, entertainment, and local offers and experiences. Offers are researched, negotiated, and personally selected by Travelzoo’s deal experts around the globe. Offers are sourced from more than 5,000 top travel and entertainment partners.

The Company generates revenues from advertising, membership fees, and other sources.

In March 2022, the Company began the development of Travelzoo META, a subscription service that is intended to provide Metaverse travel experiences.

APAC Exit and Pivot to Licensing Model

Travelzoo currently has license agreements covering Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea. The license agreements provide the licensees exclusive rights to use Travelzoo products, services and intellectual property in each jurisdiction in exchange for quarterly royalty payments based upon net revenue over a five-year term, with an option to renew.

Ownership

Ralph Bartel, who founded Travelzoo, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro Capital Inc ("Azzurro"). Azzurro is the Company’s largest shareholder, and as of March 31, 2025, holds approximately 38.2% of the Company's outstanding shares.

Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities where the Company does not have control, but does have significant influence, are accounted for as equity method investments. We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Significant estimates included in the consolidated financial statements and related notes include revenue recognition, refund liability, income taxes, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, useful lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocation for the business combination and related impairment assessment, relating to the projections and assumptions used. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

9

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and applies to our FY25 year-end reporting. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and will include the required income tax disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires more detailed disclosure for expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

Below is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. For a comprehensive description of our accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), under which revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's revenues consist of (1) advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, (2) membership fees and (3) other.

Advertising Revenues and Commissions

Advertising revenues are generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment offers on the Travelzoo website, in Top 20 email newsletters, in Standalone email newsletters and through the Travelzoo Network. The Company also generates transaction-based commission revenues from the sale of vouchers (our Local Deals and Getaways offerings), operation of our hotel booking platform and limited offerings of vacation packages.

Specifically, for fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period. For Top 20 email newsletters and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members. For cost-per-click advertising, whereby an advertiser pays the Company when a user clicks on an ad (typically served on Travelzoo properties or Travelzoo Network partner properties), the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.

The Company also offers clients other advertising models whereby an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed (whether on Travelzoo properties, email advertisements, Travelzoo Network properties, social platforms or other media properties). For these instances, the Company recognizes revenues each time an ad is displayed.

For transaction-based advertising revenues, including from products such as Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, hotel platform bookings and vacation package sales, the Company evaluates whether it is acting as principal (thereby reporting revenue on a gross basis) versus agent (thereby reporting revenue on a net basis). Accordingly, the Company reports transaction-based advertising revenues on a net basis, as third-party suppliers are primarily responsible for fulfilling the underlying good or service, which the Company does not control prior to its transfer to the customer.

For Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, the Company typically earns a fee for acting as an agent on the sale, while vouchers can subsequently be redeemed for goods or services with third-party merchants. Commission revenues are, accordingly, presented net of amounts due to third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying goods and services, and net of estimated future refunds to consumers, as the terms of the vouchers permit. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.

In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts,vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g. hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for

10

which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.

Commission revenues generated from bookings on our hotel platform are recognized ratably over the periods of guest stays, net of an allowance for estimated cancellations, based upon historical patterns. For bookings of non-cancelable reservations, where the Company’s performance obligation is deemed to be completed upon the successful booking, the Company records commission revenue at such time.

In certain instances, the Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations, whereby the Company allocates revenues to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of goods or services, geographical region of the customers, rate card pricing and customary discounts. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the good or service is sold separately.

The Company relies upon certain practical expedients and exemptions provided for in Topic 606. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, as the amortization period would be one year or less, which are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and contracts for which it recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Membership Fee Revenues

Membership fee revenues are generated from subscription fees paid by Travelzoo and Jack's Flight Club. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the subscription periods.

Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, Travelzoo introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023.

Other Revenues

Other revenues include licensing fees and fees generated from the existing retail business acquired by the Company when it acquired MTE.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred membership fees, customer prepayments and undelivered Company performance obligations related to contracts comprising multiple performance obligations. As of December 31, 2024, $2 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Jack's Flight Club, of which $1.0 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $4.5 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe, of which $2.1 million was recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, deferred revenue was $7.8 million, of which $2.6 million was for Jack's Flight Club, and $5.2 million was for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe.

Reserve for Refunds to Members

The Company estimates and records a reserve for future refunds on member purchases of Local Deals and Getaways vouchers, at the time revenue is recorded. We consider various factors such as historical refund timeframes from dates of sale, reasons for refunds, time periods remaining until expiration, changes in refund procedures and estimates of redemptions and breakage. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could impact the level of our future reserve for refunds to members. Specifically, if the financial condition of our merchant partners, on behalf of whom vouchers are sold, were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to provide the goods or services to our members, additional reserves for refunds to members may be required and may adversely affect future revenues as the liability is recorded against revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.7 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, representing the Company’s commission earned. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $214,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of March 31, 2025, which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.1 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale and estimated a refund reserve of $144,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of December 31, 2024, as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

11

If our judgments regarding estimated member refunds are inaccurate, reported results of operations could differ from amounts previously accrued. Merchant payables of $14.8 million as of March 31, 2025 is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed.

Identifiable intangible assets

Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of all intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performs an impairment test by comparing the book value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a combination of valuation techniques, including an income approach (discounted cash flows) and market approach (guideline company method). The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of October 31, 2024 and no impairment charge was identified in connection with the annual impairment test. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease payments used to determine the operating lease assets may include lease incentives and stated rent increases. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s leases are reflected in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with its ability to attract and retain advertisers and offer goods or services on compelling terms to our members. The Company’s business is also subject to risks associated with the travel industry generally, including the changing economic and political situation of countries around the world (e.g., decreases in discretionary spending due to recession or increased prices due to tariffs, changes in international trade policies and immigration and decreases in demand for travel generally and for certain destinations specifically).

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had merchant payables of $14.8 million related to the sale of vouchers. In the Company’s financial statements presented in this 10-Q report, following GAAP accounting principles, we classified all merchant payables as current. As such, the consolidated balance sheet reflects negative net working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10.3 million at March 31, 2025. Payables to merchants are generally due upon redemption of vouchers by members who purchased them from the Company. As of March 31, 2025, unredeemed vouchers have maturities through March 2026; however, expiration dates may be extended on a case-by-case basis and final payment to merchants upon expiration may not be due for up to a year after. Based on current projections of future redemption activity, management expects that cash on hand as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

12

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to refundable security deposits for real estate leases and funds held in escrow.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	11,474	$	17,064
Restricted cash	753		676
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows	$	12,227	$	17,740

The Company’s restricted cash was included in noncurrent assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 2: Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included in the diluted calculation consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2025		2024
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Travelzoo from operations	$	3,167	$	4,236
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares—basic	11,670		13,489
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options	579		136
Weighted average common shares—diluted	12,249		13,625
Net income per share —basic	$	0.27	$	0.31
Net income per share—diluted	$	0.26	$	0.31

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, options to purchase 0 and 50,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. 

Note 3: Acquisitions

Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) between Travelzoo and Azzurro

In connection with the acquisition of Metaverse Travel Experiences (“MTE”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Azzurro, the Company completed a private placement of newly issued shares with Azzurro. Ralph Bartel, who founded the Company, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro. Azzurro was the Company’s largest shareholder at the time of the MTE acquisition and, as of December 31, 2022, Azzurro and Ralph Bartel, in his individual capacity, owned approximately 50.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares. On December 28, 2022, the stockholders of Travelzoo approved the issuance and sale of 3.4 million shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Travelzoo to Azzurro, in exchange for certain consideration, and on December 30, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the transaction was

13

consummated. The closing price of Travelzoo’s common stock on December 30, 2022 was $4.45 per share, resulting in an aggregate fair value of the Shares of $15.2 million. The consideration for the Shares consisted of the following: (a) $1.0 million in cash paid on the Closing Date; (b) $4.8 million paid in the form of a promissory note, carrying a 12% interest rate per annum, issued on the Closing Date and payable by June 30, 2023; and (c) the transfer to the Company of all outstanding capital stock of MTE, which was effected pursuant to a merger of MTE with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on the Closing Date. In October 2023, the Company and Azzurro agreed to a payment plan for payment of the promissory note in five installments, ending in February 2024, with interest on the outstanding principal accruing at 16% per annum beginning on July 1, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Azzurro paid $3.0 million of principal. The remaining principal amount of $1.8 million together with interest of $19,000, was paid off in October 2024. Azzurro paid interest of $0 and $70,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The following table represents the fair value and estimated useful lives of intangible assets from acquisitions (in thousands):

	Fair Value		Estimated Life (Years)
Customer relationships (Jack’s Flight Club)	$	3,500	5.0
Trade name (Jack’s Flight Club)	2,460		indefinite
Non-compete agreements (Jack’s Flight Club)	660		4.0
Secret Escapes Spain member database	445		3.0

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value if an impairment is recognized during the period. The fair value measurements are based on Level 3 inputs which are unobservable inputs based on management assumptions used to measure assets at fair value.

The goodwill assessment was performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting units to their carrying value. The fair value estimates for the reporting units were based on a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and the market value approach, using Level 3 inputs. The indefinite-lived intangible assets assessment was performed using the relief-from-royalty method, which includes unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3, including projected revenues and approximately 5% royalty rate.

The Company performed an annual impairment test as of October 31, 2024 and did not identify any indicators of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Trade name was $1.5 million. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and believes it is probable that the matter will be ruled on adversely. Accruals for legal contingencies were not material as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made. The Company believes that the likelihood of an ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) that will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is remote. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, and unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors.

The Company leases office space in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. under operating leases. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to up to seven years. The Company maintains standby letters of credit (“LOC”) to serve as collateral issued to the landlords. The LOCs are collateralized with cash which is included in the line item “Restricted cash” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rent expense was $687,000 and $670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 10–Leases for more information.

The Company has purchase commitments aggregating approximately $1.1 million as of March 31, 2025, which represent the minimum obligations the Company has under agreements with certain third-party service providers. These minimum obligations are less than the Company's projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use.

Note 5: Income Taxes

In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

The Company’s effective tax rate from operations was 26% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 changed from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a higher interest expense related to unrecognized tax positions in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company is permanently reinvested in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and does not have a deferred tax liability related to its undistributed foreign earnings. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability attributed to future withholding taxes on dividend distributions of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, which the Company intends to reinvest the related earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S., is approximately $878,000.

The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $23.9 million in total unrecognized tax benefits, of which up to $16.6 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if realized.

The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million in accrued interest, respectively.

15

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for certain years after 2020 and forward and is subject to California tax examinations for years after 2019.

Note 7: Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Options

The Company accounts for its employee stock options under the fair value method, which requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant, employing an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of awards expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9: Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information

The Company determines its reportable segments based upon the chief operating decision maker’s management of the business. The Company currently has four reportable operating segments: Travelzoo North America, Travelzoo Europe, Jack’s Flight Club and New Initiatives. Travelzoo North America consists of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada. Travelzoo Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain and the U.K. Jack’s Flight Club consists of subscription revenues from premium members to access and receive flight deals from Jack’s Flight Club via email or mobile applications. New Initiatives consists of Travelzoo’s licensing activities in certain Asia Pacific territories, the Travelzoo META subscription service and MTE.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Global Chief Executive Officer. The CODM primarily uses operating income (loss) to evaluate each segment's performance, allocate resources and make capital investments. We allocate certain software and license costs, such as IT and customer support, across all segments but do not allocate expenses such as legal-related costs or income taxes. Financial information is utilized along with forecasts to enable the CODM to manage our business across all operating segments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Travelzoo North America operations comprised 65% of revenues, Travelzoo Europe operations comprised 29% of revenues and Jack's Flight Club comprised 6% of revenues.

Overview

Travelzoo (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company” or “we”) is a global Internet media company. It operates Travelzoo®, the club for travel enthusiasts, and Jack’s Flight Club®, a subscription service that provides information about exceptional airfares. Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers.

Through its websites, e-mails newsletters, iOS and Android apps, and social media channels, Travelzoo provides members information and access to exclusive discounted travel, entertainment, and local offers and experiences. Offers are researched, negotiated, and personally selected by Travelzoo’s deal experts around the globe. Offers are sourced from more than 5,000 top travel and entertainment partners.

The Company generates revenues from advertising, membership fees, and other sources.

In March 2022, the Company began the development of Travelzoo META, a subscription service that is intended to provide Metaverse travel experiences.

We also license Travelzoo products, services and intellectual property to licenses in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea. In each case, the Company is entitled to a quarterly royalty payment based on a percentage of net revenue. The Company recognized $17,000 in royalties in each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Under the licensing agreements, Travelzoo's existing member list in the applicable territories continues to be owned by the Company.

In May 2023 we launched Travelzoo META, to extend the range of experiences we offer consumers in the emerging metaverse. In December 2022, we acquired Metaverse Travel Experiences, Inc., now Metaverse Travel Experiences, LLC (“MTE”), to support Travelzoo META in sourcing prospective metaverse travel experiences. MTE also continues to operate its legacy business in retail and fashion, which is included in but not material to the Company’s consolidated results. See Note 3—Acquisitions to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further information regarding the acquisition of MTE.

APAC Licensing

Travelzoo currently has license agreements covering Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea. The license agreement for Australia, New Zealand and Singapore provides the licensee exclusive rights to use Travelzoo products, services and intellectual property in each jurisdiction in exchange for quarterly royalty payments based upon net revenue over a five-year term, with an option to renew. The Company recognized royalties of $10,000 from the licensee for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The license agreement for Japan and South Korea provides the licensee exclusive rights to use Travelzoo products, services, and intellectual property in exchange for quarterly royalty payments based on net revenue over a five-year term, with an option to renew. The Company recognized royalties of $7,000 from the licensee for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Reportable Segments

The Company determines its reportable segments based upon the Company's chief operating decision maker managing the performance of the business. The Company currently has four reportable operating segments: Travelzoo North America,

22

Travelzoo Europe, Jack’s Flight Club and New Initiatives. Travelzoo North America consists of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada. Travelzoo Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain and the U.K. Jack’s Flight Club consists of subscription revenues from premium members to access and receive flight deals from Jack’s Flight Club via email or mobile applications. New Initiatives consists of Travelzoo’s licensing business, Travelzoo META, and MTE. Financial information with respect to our business segments and certain financial information about geographic areas appears in Note 9–Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

When evaluating the financial condition and operating performance of the Company, management focuses on financial and non-financial indicators such as growth in the number of members to the Company’s newsletters, operating margin, growth in revenues in the absolute and relative to the growth in reach of the Company’s publications measured as revenue per member and revenue per employee as a measure of productivity.

How We Generate Revenues

Travelzoo

Revenues from the Travelzoo brand and business are generated primarily from three categories: Advertising, Membership Fees, and Other.

The "Advertising" category consists primarily of (a) advertising fees paid by travel companies for the publishing of their offers on Travelzoo’s media properties, (b) commission generated from the sale of Getaways vouchers and bookings on our hotel platform, and (c) publishing fees from high-quality local businesses, sale of Local Deals vouchers and entertainment offers. Advertising fees may be based on audience reach, placement in email newsletters or on media properties, number of listings, number of clicks, and/or actual sales. We typically recognize advertising revenues upon delivery of emails or clicks, as tracked by our internal platform or third-party platforms, in the period of the applicable insertion orders, which are typically for periods between one month and twelve months and are not automatically renewed. For Getaways vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon sale as commission, net of an allowance for future refunds. Merchant agreements for Getaways advertisers are typically for periods between twelve and twenty-four months and are not automatically renewed. Revenues generated from local business offers are based upon a percentage of the face value of the vouchers sold, commission on actual sales or a listing fee based on audience reach. We recognize revenue upon the sale of vouchers, upon notification of the amount of direct bookings or upon delivery of emails. For Local Deals vouchers, we recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers, net of an allowance for refunds. Insertion orders and merchant agreements for Local Deals are typically for periods between one and twelve months and are not automatically renewed.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.7 million and $4.1 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, respectively, representing the Company’s commission. The Company estimates a refund reserve using historical and current refund rates by product and by merchant location to calculate estimated future refunds. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $214,000 and $139,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, for these unredeemed vouchers which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, and accrued expense and other on the consolidated balance sheet.

Merchant payables of $14.8 million as of March 31, 2025 related to unredeemed vouchers is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed. Certain merchant contracts, typically in foreign locations, allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers upon expiration. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.

In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts,vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g. hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.

The "Membership Fees" category consists of subscription fees paid by Travelzoo and Jack's Flight Club members. Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, Travelzoo introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023. Jack’s Flight Club subscription options are quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the respective subscription periods.

23

The "Other" category consists of licensing fees from license agreements, as well as the retail business originally operated by MTE and acquired and maintained by the Company following the acquisition of MTE.

Trends in Our Business

Our ability to generate revenues in the future depends on numerous factors, including those relating to members, advertisers, competitors, the travel industry, the online advertising business, internal factors and external factors.

Factors relating to members include their willingness to purchase the deals we advertise, their demand for vouchers as a promotional format, and with the introduction of membership fees for new members in 2024 and existing members in 2025, our ability to enroll new paying members and transition existing members to paid membership, without adversely affecting our membership base and existing advertising revenue streams.

Factors relating to advertisers include our ability to sell more advertising to existing and new advertisers, our ability to enhance our audience reach, engagement and advertising rates (particularly as we transition to a paid membership model) and spending controls by travel intermediaries to focus on improving profitability. As we build out our offering of Club Offers (offers available only to Club Members, or members who have paid the membership fee), we must balance maintaining the advertising business while working with our advertisers to also provide us these offers exclusively for paying members.

Factors relating to competitors include the willingness of certain competitors to grow their business unprofitably and willingness to utilize new technologies such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) to provide lower quality content at greater volumes. Factors relating to the travel industry include geopolitical tensions affecting consumer travel to certain regions, the imposition or threat of tariffs, immigration issues, and risk of future unforeseeable macro events that impact travel, while factors relating to the online advertising business include shifts in consumer use of different digital media formats such as from desktop to mobile, from mobile web to mobile app, and from email to push notifications and SMS text messaging.

Internal factors include risks relating to our ability to continue to service members without interruption, our ability to develop and launch new products that members will utilize and advertisers will adopt (such as Club Offers), and hiring and relying on key employees for the continued maintenance and growth of our business.

External factors include the introduction of new methods of advertising, the relative condition of the economy (including risks of recession), cybersecurity risks due to increased dependence on digital technologies, and climate change and related legislation, to the extent such legislation impacts the businesses of our advertisers such as airlines and cruise ship operators, which have come under increasing scrutiny for their carbon footprints.

Revenues from local business have been and may continue to decline over time due to market conditions driven by competition and declines in consumer demand. In the last several years, we have seen a decline in the number of vouchers sold and a decrease in the average commission rate earned by us from the merchants for vouchers sold. However, during the global pandemic, we saw an increase in demand by consumers for fully refundable travel options, which led to a slight reversal of this trend and an increase in the sale of Getaways hotel vouchers (although demand for restaurants and spas continued to be low). With the ending of the pandemic, the importance of fully refundable travel options has decreased (and we also shifted to offering a surcharge for full refundability), and the trend is therefore returning to pre-pandemic patterns.

Our ability to continue generating revenues through advertising, commissions and subscriptions depends heavily upon our ability to maintain and grow an attractive audience for our publications. We monitor our membership base to assess our efforts to maintain and grow our audience reach. We obtain additional members and activity on our websites by acquiring traffic from Internet search and social media companies. The costs to grow our audience have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our financial results and can vary from period to period. With the introduction of membership fees in 2024, we have been adjusting our member acquisition strategies to ensure that we pursue a strategy of efficient growth. While we initially reduced our expenditures on acquiring members as we tested new strategies for efficacy, we have now increased and plan to further increase these expenditures to grow our paid membership and engagement with our products. We do not know if we will be able to continue efficiently growing through member acquisition. We continue to see a shift in users accessing our services through mobile devices and social media and, therefore, anticipate continuing to address this growing channel through additional investments in mobile app development and mobile friendly acquisition channels.

We believe that an important factor for our advertising rates is the reach of our publications, however, we also believe, particularly as we transition to paid membership, that there are other more important factors, such as the engagement of our membership base with our content. We do not know if we will be able to increase engagement, however, early signs indicate that on average paying members are more engaged than members who have not paid a fee. We do not know if by increasing engagement, we will also be able to increase other key metrics of importance to our advertisers. As we make this transition, we may need to decrease our rates based on competitive market conditions and the performance of our audience. However, as we

24

increase member acquisition, we expect that a greater proportion of our revenue will be driven by membership revenue, as opposed to advertising revenue.

We do not know what our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues will be in future periods. Our cost of revenues may change in relation to volume and terms with third-party partners of the Travelzoo network, the incurrence of merchant processing fees from the sale of vouchers for Local Deals and Getaways and payment of membership fees, changes in refund request trends, pre-purchasing of voucher inventory and provisioning of customer service. We expect fluctuations in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and may have a material impact on our results of operations.

We do not know what our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. Changes in the average cost per acquisition of new members impacts our advertising expenses and sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue, and are not readily predictable. With the introduction of membership fees in 2024, we expect the cost of acquiring new paying members to increase significantly, as compared with the cost of acquiring non-paying members prior to 2024. We have found efficiencies in member acquisition gained through careful testing and optimizing throughout 2024 and we hope that we will be able to continue to scale. However, in the future, there may be a significant number of members that cancel or we may cancel their memberships for various reasons, which may prompt us to spend more on member acquisition in order to replace lost members.

In addition to the type of membership offered, we believe the average cost per acquisition depends mainly on the advertising rates we pay for media buys, the quality of the members we acquire (based on both clicks and purchases through Travelzoo), our ability to manage our member acquisition efforts successfully, the regions we target to acquire new members and the relative costs for that region, and the degree of competition in our industry. All else equal, increased competition may require us to increase advertising for our brand and advertisers’ deals.

Beside member acquisition costs, we may see a unique opportunity for a brand marketing campaign, experience increases in the cost of retaining or sourcing new advertiser clients, or change the number of personnel or compensation structure for the Sales and marketing function, any of which would result in an increase in sales and marketing expenses. We expect fluctuations in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue from year to year and from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations. We expect increased marketing expenses to spur continued growth in revenue in future periods; however, we cannot be assured of this due to the many factors that impact our growth. We expect to adjust the level of such incremental spending dynamically during any given quarter based upon market conditions, as well as our performance in each quarter.

We do not know what our product development expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. We expect to increase investment in our products in connection with building out and refining the value proposition of the Travelzoo membership. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Product development changes may lead to reductions of revenue based on changes in receptivity of our offerings to our member audience and advertiser clients. We expect our efforts in developing products and services will continue to be a focus in the future, which may lead to increased product development expenses. Increases in expense may result from costs related to third-party technology service providers and software licenses, headcount and the use of professional services.

We do not know what our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations.

We do not know what our income taxes will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Our income taxes are dependent on numerous factors such as the geographic mix of our taxable income, foreign, federal, state and local tax law and regulations, and changes thereto. Our income taxes are also dependent on the determination of whether valuation allowances for certain tax assets are required or not, any audits of prior years' tax returns that result in adjustments, resolution of uncertain tax positions and different treatments for certain items for tax versus book purposes. We expect fluctuations in our income taxes from year to year and from quarter to quarter, which may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations.

The key elements of our growth strategy include building our trusted travel, entertainment and local brands, refining and building out the value proposition of our membership and consequently increasing the value and engagement of our members, sourcing more exclusive and compelling offers from travel and entertainment partners, and innovating with new experiences and revenue streams. We expect to continue our efforts to grow; however, we may not grow or we may experience slower growth.

We believe that we can sell more advertising if the market for online advertising continues to grow and if we can maintain or increase our market share. We believe the market for advertising continues to shift from offline to online. We do

25

not know if we will be able to maintain or increase our market share. We do not know if we will be able to increase the number of our advertisers in the future. We do not know if we will have market acceptance of our new products or whether the market will continue to accept our existing products.

Advertising

Advertising revenue decreased by $170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by $603,000 decrease in revenues from Travelzoo website (CPC) and $277,000 decrease in revenues from our hotel platform. These decreases were partially offset by a $729,000 increase in Standalone email newsletter revenue.

Membership Fees

26

Revenues from Membership fees increased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to the increase of subscription fees paid by Travelzoo and Jack's Flight Club members.

Other

Revenues from Other decreased $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the decrease revenue from the retail and fashion business.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of network expenses, including fees we pay for co-location services and depreciation and maintenance of network equipment, payments made to third-party partners of the Travelzoo Network, amortization of capitalized website development costs, software and license expenses, credit card fees, certain estimated refunds to members and customer service costs associated with vouchers we sell and hotel bookings, costs recognized upon the sale of pre-purchased vouchers and salary and related expenses associated with network operations and customer service employees. Cost of revenues was $4.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Cost of revenues increased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the increase in costs recognized upon the sale of pre-purchased vouchers.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, salary and related expenses associated with sales, marketing and production employees, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, marketing professional service costs, public relations expenses and facilities costs. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising which we refer to as traffic acquisition cost and member acquisition costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, advertising expenses accounted for 15% and 10%, respectively, of the total sales and marketing expenses. The goal of our advertising was to acquire new members to our email products, increase the traffic to our websites, increase brand awareness and increase our audience through mobile and social media channels.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in member acquisition costs as a result of management's strategic plan.

Product Development

Product development expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses associated with software development employees, fees for professional services, software maintenance, amortization, and facilities costs. Product development expenses were $634,000 and $566,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Product development expenses increased $68,000 for the first months ended March 31, 2025 from the first months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the increase in salary and related expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses associated with administrative and executive employees, bad debt expense, professional service expenses, legal expenses, amortization of intangible assets, general office expense and facilities costs. General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

General and administrative expenses decreased $285,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to $244,000 increase in stock compensation expense and $117,000 increase in bad debt expense, offset by a $224,000 decrease in legal expense and a $286,000 decrease in professional service expense.

Other Income, net

27

Other income, net consisted primarily of foreign exchange transactions gains and losses, sublease income, German federal government funding for COVID-related pandemic relief, interest income and interest expense. Other income, net was $629,000 and $139,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Other income, net increased $490,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a $210,000 release of JFC VAT liabilities after a four-years statute of limitations and a $179,000 German federal government funding for COVID-19 pandemic relief the Company received and the foreign exchange transactions gains.

Income Taxes

Our income is generally taxed in the U.S., Canada and U.K. Our income tax provision reflects federal, state and country statutory rates applicable to our worldwide income. Income tax expense was $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 26% and 26%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 changed from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a higher interest expense related to unrecognized tax positions in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

We expect our effective tax rate to fluctuate in future periods depending on the geographic mix of our worldwide income or losses mainly incurred by our operations, statutory tax rate changes that may occur, existing or new uncertain tax matters that may arise and require changes in tax reserves and the need for valuation allowances on certain tax assets, if any. See Note 5–Income Taxes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We do not know what our income taxes will be in future periods. There may be fluctuations that have a material impact on our results of operations. Our income taxes are dependent on numerous factors such as the geographic mix of our taxable income, federal and state and foreign country tax law and regulations and changes thereto, the determination of whether valuation allowances for certain tax assets are required or not, audits of prior years’ tax returns resulting in adjustments, resolution of uncertain tax positions and different treatment for certain items for tax versus books. We expect fluctuations in our income taxes from year to year and from quarter to quarter. Some of the fluctuations may be significant and have a material impact on our results of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $11.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $8.3 million was held outside the U.S. in our foreign operations. If this cash is distributed to the U.S., we may be subject to additional U.S. taxes in certain circumstances. We also had $753,000 in restricted cash held in the U.S. as of March 31, 2025.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased $5.5 million from $17.7 million as of December 31, 2024 to $12.2 million as of March 31, 2025 primarily due to $8.9 million cash used to repurchase common stock, offset partially by $3.3 million cash provided by operating activities.

As of March 31, 2025, we had merchant payables of $14.8 million related to unredeemed vouchers. In the Company’s financial statements presented in this 10-Q report, following U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we classified all merchant payables as current. When all merchant payables are classified as current, there is negative net working capital (which is defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10.3 million. Payables to merchants are generally due upon redemption of vouchers. As of March 31, 2025, unredeemed vouchers have maturities through March 2026; however, expiration dates may be extended on a case-by-case basis and final payment to merchants upon expiration may not be due for up to a year after. Based on current projections of redemption activity, we expect that cash on hand as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

29

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,284	$	4,621
Net cash used in investing activities	(21)		(35)
Net cash used in financing activities	(8,918)		(3,872)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	142		(238)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(5,513)	$	476

Net cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.3 million, which primarily consisted of net income of $3.3 million, $549,000 increase in non-cash items and $525,000 decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $369,000 for stock-based compensation and $206,000 for Provision of loss (net recoveries) on accounts receivable and refund reserve. The decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to $1.7 million decrease in merchant payables, offset partially by $1.2 million increase in deferred revenue

Cash paid for income tax, net of refunds received, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.5 million and $548,000, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $21,000 and $35,000, respectively. The cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $8.9 million which primarily consisted of the repurchase of common stock of $8.9 million. Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.9 million which primarily consisted of the repurchase of common stock.

Consistent with our growth, we experienced fluctuations in our cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, product development expenses and general and administrative expenses, and we anticipate that these increases will continue for the foreseeable future. We believe cash on hand will be sufficient to pay such costs for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, the consummation of any of which would increase our capital requirements.

Although we currently believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, unanticipated events and opportunities or a less favorable than expected development of our business with one or more advertising formats may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or establish credit facilities to raise capital in order to meet our capital requirements.

If we sell additional equity or convertible debt securities, such sale could dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders. If we issue debt securities or establish a new credit facility, our fixed obligations could increase and we may be required to agree to operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot be sure that any such financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

If the development of our business is less favorable than expected, we may decide to significantly reduce the size of our operations and marketing expenses in certain markets with the objective of reducing cash outflows.

The information set forth under “Note 4—Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 10—Leases” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Litigation and claims against the Company may result in legal defense costs, settlements or judgments that could have a material impact on our financial condition.

We also have contingencies related to net unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, of approximately $23.9 million as of March 31, 2025. See “Note 5: Income Taxes” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe are important in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they require that we use judgment and estimates in applying those policies. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the

30

reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as revenue and expenses during the periods reported. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies include income taxes. For additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as well as updates in the current fiscal year provided in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Note 1—The Company and Basis of Presentation” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, regarding the impact of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of the Company’s Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Financial Controller, North America, General Counsel and Head of Global Functions and other supporting Finance staff), as of March 31, 2025, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Global CEO, Financial Controller, North America and General Counsel and Head of Global Functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

32

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

The information set forth under “Note 4—Commitments and Contingencies” to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are incorporated herein by reference. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial position, or results of operations. These are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position, or results of operations.

We may be sensitive to recessions or other macroeconomic circumstances or events affecting the travel industry generally.

The demand for online advertising may be linked to the level of economic activity and employment in the U.S. and abroad. Specifically, our business is primarily dependent on the demand for online advertising from travel and entertainment companies. Events like war, political instability, international trade disputes or other conflicts (including the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), terrorist attacks, mass shooting incidents, strikes, natural disasters and extreme weather situations (e.g., hurricanes, fires, droughts and floods), plane crashes, major public health events and logistical challenges such as widespread travel disruptions may have a negative impact on the travel industry and affect travelers’ behavior by limiting their ability or willingness to visit certain locations. In addition, advertisers may choose to limit advertising spend, which can adversely impact our business. Macroeconomic factors and uncertainties such as the implementation of tariffs (by the United States or other governments), rising interest rates, persistently high inflation and/or recession fears may have a negative impact on consumer behavior by reducing consumers’ ability or willingness to engage in discretionary spending on travel (e.g., we have seen some reluctance from our Canadian members to travel to the United States). In turn, that could have a negative impact on demand for our services. Since the majority of our revenue is derived from members and advertisers within the United States, economic conditions in the United States have a greater impact on us. We are not in a position to evaluate the net effect of these circumstances as many of these events cannot be reliably forecasted. In the longer term, our business might be negatively affected by financial pressures on or changes to the travel industry and the economy overall.

The pre-purchasing of vouchers and hotel inventory could create additional risks or liabilities for our business.

We sometimes pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts,vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g., hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, we are not acting as the agent of the client, but rather as the principal, meaning the risk of selling the inventory is on the Company. The pre-purchased vouchers are considered “inventory” in our books until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members. The vouchers are usually only redeemable with the client during a specified period and the Company does allow refunds in accordance with our policies. If we are unable to sell all of these pre-purchased vouchers, we may be required to impair that inventory and our operating results could be adversely affected. A significant impairment would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2:    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Repurchases of Equity Securities

We repurchased 590,839 shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Maximum Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program
January 1, 2025–January 31, 2025	—	$	—	—	911,529

	590,839			590,839

On October 23, 2024, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 590,839 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8.9 million, excluding excise tax due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, with such shares retired and recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital until extinguished with the remaining amount reflected as a reduction of retained earnings. As of March 31, 2025, there were 320,690 shares remaining to be repurchased under this program.

The Company generates revenues from advertising, membership fees, and other sources.

In March 2022, the Company began the development of Travelzoo META, a subscription service that is intended to provide Metaverse travel experiences.

APAC Exit and Pivot to Licensing Model

Travelzoo currently has license agreements covering Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea. The license agreements provide the licensees exclusive rights to use Travelzoo products, services and intellectual property in each jurisdiction in exchange for quarterly royalty payments based upon net revenue over a five-year term, with an option to renew.

Ownership

Ralph Bartel, who founded Travelzoo, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro Capital Inc ("Azzurro"). Azzurro is the Company’s largest shareholder, and as of March 31, 2025, holds approximately 38.2% of the Company's outstanding shares.

Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities where the Company does not have control, but does have significant influence, are accounted for as equity method investments. We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Significant estimates included in the consolidated financial statements and related notes include revenue recognition, refund liability, income taxes, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies, useful lives of property and equipment, purchase price allocation for the business combination and related impairment assessment, relating to the projections and assumptions used. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and applies to our FY25 year-end reporting. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and will include the required income tax disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires more detailed disclosure for expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

Below is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. For a comprehensive description of our accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), under which revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's revenues consist of (1) advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, (2) membership fees and (3) other.

Advertising Revenues and Commissions

Advertising revenues are generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment offers on the Travelzoo website, in Top 20 email newsletters, in Standalone email newsletters and through the Travelzoo Network. The Company also generates transaction-based commission revenues from the sale of vouchers (our Local Deals and Getaways offerings), operation of our hotel booking platform and limited offerings of vacation packages.

Specifically, for fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period. For Top 20 email newsletters and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members. For cost-per-click advertising, whereby an advertiser pays the Company when a user clicks on an ad (typically served on Travelzoo properties or Travelzoo Network partner properties), the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.

The Company also offers clients other advertising models whereby an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed (whether on Travelzoo properties, email advertisements, Travelzoo Network properties, social platforms or other media properties). For these instances, the Company recognizes revenues each time an ad is displayed.

For transaction-based advertising revenues, including from products such as Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, hotel platform bookings and vacation package sales, the Company evaluates whether it is acting as principal (thereby reporting revenue on a gross basis) versus agent (thereby reporting revenue on a net basis). Accordingly, the Company reports transaction-based advertising revenues on a net basis, as third-party suppliers are primarily responsible for fulfilling the underlying good or service, which the Company does not control prior to its transfer to the customer.

For Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, the Company typically earns a fee for acting as an agent on the sale, while vouchers can subsequently be redeemed for goods or services with third-party merchants. Commission revenues are, accordingly, presented net of amounts due to third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying goods and services, and net of estimated future refunds to consumers, as the terms of the vouchers permit. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.

In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts,vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g. hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for

which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.

Commission revenues generated from bookings on our hotel platform are recognized ratably over the periods of guest stays, net of an allowance for estimated cancellations, based upon historical patterns. For bookings of non-cancelable reservations, where the Company’s performance obligation is deemed to be completed upon the successful booking, the Company records commission revenue at such time.

In certain instances, the Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations, whereby the Company allocates revenues to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of goods or services, geographical region of the customers, rate card pricing and customary discounts. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the good or service is sold separately.

The Company relies upon certain practical expedients and exemptions provided for in Topic 606. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, as the amortization period would be one year or less, which are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and contracts for which it recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Membership Fee Revenues

Membership fee revenues are generated from subscription fees paid by Travelzoo and Jack's Flight Club. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the subscription periods.

Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, Travelzoo introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023.

Other Revenues

Other revenues include licensing fees and fees generated from the existing retail business acquired by the Company when it acquired MTE.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred membership fees, customer prepayments and undelivered Company performance obligations related to contracts comprising multiple performance obligations. As of December 31, 2024, $2 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Jack's Flight Club, of which $1.0 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $4.5 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe, of which $2.1 million was recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, deferred revenue was $7.8 million, of which $2.6 million was for Jack's Flight Club, and $5.2 million was for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe.

Reserve for Refunds to Members

The Company estimates and records a reserve for future refunds on member purchases of Local Deals and Getaways vouchers, at the time revenue is recorded. We consider various factors such as historical refund timeframes from dates of sale, reasons for refunds, time periods remaining until expiration, changes in refund procedures and estimates of redemptions and breakage. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could impact the level of our future reserve for refunds to members. Specifically, if the financial condition of our merchant partners, on behalf of whom vouchers are sold, were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to provide the goods or services to our members, additional reserves for refunds to members may be required and may adversely affect future revenues as the liability is recorded against revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.7 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, representing the Company’s commission earned. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $214,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of March 31, 2025, which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.1 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale and estimated a refund reserve of $144,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of December 31, 2024, as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

If our judgments regarding estimated member refunds are inaccurate, reported results of operations could differ from amounts previously accrued. Merchant payables of $14.8 million as of March 31, 2025 is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed.

Identifiable intangible assets

Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of all intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performs an impairment test by comparing the book value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a combination of valuation techniques, including an income approach (discounted cash flows) and market approach (guideline company method). The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of October 31, 2024 and no impairment charge was identified in connection with the annual impairment test. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease payments used to determine the operating lease assets may include lease incentives and stated rent increases. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s leases are reflected in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with its ability to attract and retain advertisers and offer goods or services on compelling terms to our members. The Company’s business is also subject to risks associated with the travel industry generally, including the changing economic and political situation of countries around the world (e.g., decreases in discretionary spending due to recession or increased prices due to tariffs, changes in international trade policies and immigration and decreases in demand for travel generally and for certain destinations specifically).

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had merchant payables of $14.8 million related to the sale of vouchers. In the Company’s financial statements presented in this 10-Q report, following GAAP accounting principles, we classified all merchant payables as current. As such, the consolidated balance sheet reflects negative net working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10.3 million at March 31, 2025. Payables to merchants are generally due upon redemption of vouchers by members who purchased them from the Company. As of March 31, 2025, unredeemed vouchers have maturities through March 2026; however, expiration dates may be extended on a case-by-case basis and final payment to merchants upon expiration may not be due for up to a year after. Based on current projections of future redemption activity, management expects that cash on hand as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to provide for working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to refundable security deposits for real estate leases and funds held in escrow.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	11,474	$	17,064
Restricted cash	753		676
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows	$	12,227	$	17,740

The Company’s restricted cash was included in noncurrent assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included in the diluted calculation consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, options to purchase 0 and 50,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) between Travelzoo and Azzurro

In connection with the acquisition of Metaverse Travel Experiences (“MTE”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Azzurro, the Company completed a private placement of newly issued shares with Azzurro. Ralph Bartel, who founded the Company, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro. Azzurro was the Company’s largest shareholder at the time of the MTE acquisition and, as of December 31, 2022, Azzurro and Ralph Bartel, in his individual capacity, owned approximately 50.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares. On December 28, 2022, the stockholders of Travelzoo approved the issuance and sale of 3.4 million shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Travelzoo to Azzurro, in exchange for certain consideration, and on December 30, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the transaction was

consummated. The closing price of Travelzoo’s common stock on December 30, 2022 was $4.45 per share, resulting in an aggregate fair value of the Shares of $15.2 million. The consideration for the Shares consisted of the following: (a) $1.0 million in cash paid on the Closing Date; (b) $4.8 million paid in the form of a promissory note, carrying a 12% interest rate per annum, issued on the Closing Date and payable by June 30, 2023; and (c) the transfer to the Company of all outstanding capital stock of MTE, which was effected pursuant to a merger of MTE with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on the Closing Date. In October 2023, the Company and Azzurro agreed to a payment plan for payment of the promissory note in five installments, ending in February 2024, with interest on the outstanding principal accruing at 16% per annum beginning on July 1, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Azzurro paid $3.0 million of principal. The remaining principal amount of $1.8 million together with interest of $19,000, was paid off in October 2024. Azzurro paid interest of $0 and $70,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The following table represents the fair value and estimated useful lives of intangible assets from acquisitions (in thousands):

	Fair Value		Estimated Life (Years)
Customer relationships (Jack’s Flight Club)	$	3,500	5.0
Trade name (Jack’s Flight Club)	2,460		indefinite
Non-compete agreements (Jack’s Flight Club)	660		4.0
Secret Escapes Spain member database	445		3.0

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value if an impairment is recognized during the period. The fair value measurements are based on Level 3 inputs which are unobservable inputs based on management assumptions used to measure assets at fair value.

The goodwill assessment was performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting units to their carrying value. The fair value estimates for the reporting units were based on a blended analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows and the market value approach, using Level 3 inputs. The indefinite-lived intangible assets assessment was performed using the relief-from-royalty method, which includes unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3, including projected revenues and approximately 5% royalty rate.

The Company performed an annual impairment test as of October 31, 2024 and did not identify any indicators of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

The following table represents the activities of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and believes it is probable that the matter will be ruled on adversely. Accruals for legal contingencies were not material as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made. The Company believes that the likelihood of an ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) that will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is remote. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, and unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors.

The Company leases office space in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. under operating leases. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to up to seven years. The Company maintains standby letters of credit (“LOC”) to serve as collateral issued to the landlords.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

The Company’s effective tax rate from operations was 26% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 changed from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a higher interest expense related to unrecognized tax positions in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company is permanently reinvested in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and does not have a deferred tax liability related to its undistributed foreign earnings. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability attributed to future withholding taxes on dividend distributions of undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, which the Company intends to reinvest the related earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S., is approximately $878,000.

The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $23.9 million in total unrecognized tax benefits, of which up to $16.6 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if realized.

The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million in accrued interest, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for certain years after 2020 and forward and is subject to California tax examinations for years after 2019.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments Reporting and Significant Customer Information

Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information

The Company determines its reportable segments based upon the chief operating decision maker’s management of the business. The Company currently has four reportable operating segments: Travelzoo North America, Travelzoo Europe, Jack’s Flight Club and New Initiatives. Travelzoo North America consists of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada. Travelzoo Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain and the U.K. Jack’s Flight Club consists of subscription revenues from premium members to access and receive flight deals from Jack’s Flight Club via email or mobile applications. New Initiatives consists of Travelzoo’s licensing activities in certain Asia Pacific territories, the Travelzoo META subscription service and MTE.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Global Chief Executive Officer. The CODM primarily uses operating income (loss) to evaluate each segment's performance, allocate resources and make capital investments. We allocate certain software and license costs, such as IT and customer support, across all segments but do not allocate expenses such as legal-related costs or income taxes. Financial information is utilized along with forecasts to enable the CODM to manage our business across all operating segments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Travelzoo North America operations comprised 65% of revenues, Travelzoo Europe operations comprised 29% of revenues and Jack's Flight Club comprised 6% of revenues.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities where the Company does not have control, but does have significant influence, are accounted for as equity method investments. We have reclassified prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and applies to our FY25 year-end reporting. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and will include the required income tax disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires more detailed disclosure for expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), under which revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company's revenues consist of (1) advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, (2) membership fees and (3) other.

Advertising Revenues and Commissions

Advertising revenues are generated from the publishing of travel and entertainment offers on the Travelzoo website, in Top 20 email newsletters, in Standalone email newsletters and through the Travelzoo Network. The Company also generates transaction-based commission revenues from the sale of vouchers (our Local Deals and Getaways offerings), operation of our hotel booking platform and limited offerings of vacation packages.

Specifically, for fixed-fee website advertising, the Company recognizes revenues ratably over the contracted placement period. For Top 20 email newsletters and other email products, the Company recognizes revenues when the emails are delivered to its members. For cost-per-click advertising, whereby an advertiser pays the Company when a user clicks on an ad (typically served on Travelzoo properties or Travelzoo Network partner properties), the Company recognizes revenues each time a user clicks on the ad.

The Company also offers clients other advertising models whereby an advertiser pays the Company based on the number of times their advertisement is displayed (whether on Travelzoo properties, email advertisements, Travelzoo Network properties, social platforms or other media properties). For these instances, the Company recognizes revenues each time an ad is displayed.

For transaction-based advertising revenues, including from products such as Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, hotel platform bookings and vacation package sales, the Company evaluates whether it is acting as principal (thereby reporting revenue on a gross basis) versus agent (thereby reporting revenue on a net basis). Accordingly, the Company reports transaction-based advertising revenues on a net basis, as third-party suppliers are primarily responsible for fulfilling the underlying good or service, which the Company does not control prior to its transfer to the customer.

For Local Deals and Getaways prepaid voucher sales, the Company typically earns a fee for acting as an agent on the sale, while vouchers can subsequently be redeemed for goods or services with third-party merchants. Commission revenues are, accordingly, presented net of amounts due to third-party merchants for fulfilling the underlying goods and services, and net of estimated future refunds to consumers, as the terms of the vouchers permit. Certain merchant contracts allow the Company to retain the proceeds from unredeemed vouchers. With these contracts, the Company estimates the value of vouchers that will ultimately not be redeemed and records the estimate as revenues in the same period.

In certain scenarios, the Company will pre-purchase vouchers or hotel inventory (in the form of credit amounts,vouchers or gift cards) in bulk from clients and partners (e.g. hotel or spa partners). In those scenarios, the Company is not acting as the agent, but rather as the principal. The pre-purchased vouchers are recorded as inventory, within prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, until sold to and purchased by Travelzoo members, at which point, the amount for

which the vouchers were sold to Travelzoo members is recognized fully as revenue and the amount for which the vouchers were purchased from the hotel or spa partners is recognized as cost of revenues.

Commission revenues generated from bookings on our hotel platform are recognized ratably over the periods of guest stays, net of an allowance for estimated cancellations, based upon historical patterns. For bookings of non-cancelable reservations, where the Company’s performance obligation is deemed to be completed upon the successful booking, the Company records commission revenue at such time.

In certain instances, the Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations, whereby the Company allocates revenues to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of goods or services, geographical region of the customers, rate card pricing and customary discounts. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers when the good or service is sold separately.

The Company relies upon certain practical expedients and exemptions provided for in Topic 606. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, as the amortization period would be one year or less, which are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. In addition, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and contracts for which it recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Membership Fee Revenues

Membership fee revenues are generated from subscription fees paid by Travelzoo and Jack's Flight Club. We recognize subscription revenues ratably over the subscription periods.

Travelzoo membership has historically been free, however, on January 1, 2024, Travelzoo introduced an annual membership fee of $40 (or local equivalent) for new members in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, with the 2024 annual fee waived for existing members as of December 31, 2023.

Other Revenues

Other revenues include licensing fees and fees generated from the existing retail business acquired by the Company when it acquired MTE.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred membership fees, customer prepayments and undelivered Company performance obligations related to contracts comprising multiple performance obligations. As of December 31, 2024, $2 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Jack's Flight Club, of which $1.0 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $4.5 million was recorded as deferred revenue for Travelzoo North America and Travelzoo Europe, of which $2.1 million was recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Reserve for Refunds to Members

Reserve for Refunds to Members

The Company estimates and records a reserve for future refunds on member purchases of Local Deals and Getaways vouchers, at the time revenue is recorded. We consider various factors such as historical refund timeframes from dates of sale, reasons for refunds, time periods remaining until expiration, changes in refund procedures and estimates of redemptions and breakage. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change, which could impact the level of our future reserve for refunds to members. Specifically, if the financial condition of our merchant partners, on behalf of whom vouchers are sold, were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to provide the goods or services to our members, additional reserves for refunds to members may be required and may adversely affect future revenues as the liability is recorded against revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.7 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold, representing the Company’s commission earned. The Company estimated and recorded a refund reserve of $214,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of March 31, 2025, which is recorded as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.1 million of unredeemed vouchers that had been sold representing the Company’s commission earned from the sale and estimated a refund reserve of $144,000 for these unredeemed vouchers as of December 31, 2024, as a reduction of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

If our judgments regarding estimated member refunds are inaccurate, reported results of operations could differ from amounts previously accrued. Merchant payables of $14.8 million as of March 31, 2025 is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, representing amounts payable to merchants by the Company for vouchers sold but not redeemed.

Identifiable intangible assets

Identifiable intangible assets

Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The carrying values of all intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performs an impairment test by comparing the book value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a combination of valuation techniques, including an income approach (discounted cash flows) and market approach (guideline company method).

Operating Leases

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease payments used to determine the operating lease assets may include lease incentives and stated rent increases. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate until it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities, as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s leases are reflected in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business is subject to risks associated with its ability to attract and retain advertisers and offer goods or services on compelling terms to our members. The Company’s business is also subject to risks associated with the travel industry generally, including the changing economic and political situation of countries around the world (e.g., decreases in discretionary spending due to recession or increased prices due to tariffs, changes in international trade policies and immigration and decreases in demand for travel generally and for certain destinations specifically).

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase. Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents that is restricted through legal contracts, regulations or our intention to use the cash for a specific purpose. Our restricted cash primarily relates to refundable security deposits for real estate leases and funds held in escrow.
