NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Under the rules of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern” (“ASC 205-40”), reporting companies are required to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about their ability to meet their future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation takes into account a company’s current available cash and projected cash needs over the one-year evaluation period but may not consider things beyond its control. At December 31, 2024, we had $29,425 of 2022 Notes (Note 9) which were scheduled to mature on January 31, 2025 and were modified on January 15, 2025 (Note 18) and extended to July 1, 2025, subject to a 12.5% reduction in principal that was paid on January 21, 2025. Based on its current liquidity position the Company would not be able to repay the 2022 Notes when due. In addition, as noted above, the Company has experienced revenue declines, incurred recurring operating losses, used cash from operations, and relied on the capital raised in the Business Combination to continue ongoing operations. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $79,945 and $74,198 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These conditions, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that its 2024 financial statements are issued. In response to these conditions, the Company took the following actions:

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company began exploring opportunities to address the upcoming maturity of its 2022 Notes. In December 2023, and May 2024, the Company worked with its noteholders and converted $300 and $275, respectively, of the outstanding principal to equity (Note 9). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold 470,000 common shares for net proceeds of $908 under our ATM program (Note 11).
In early 2024, the Company began an initiative to improve revenues by hiring additional sales professionals and implementing improved selling strategies. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, total employees declined by 20 full-time employees from 131 to 111.
With the Company’s de-listing from Nasdaq, management is considering options including but not limited to taking the Company private in order to save significant costs associated with operating as a public company. To that end, the Company filed post-effective amendments to all of its existing registration statements on Form S-8s and its registration statement on Form S-3, deregistering any unsold securities. This is a prerequisite, among others, to the Company’s ability to suspend its ongoing reporting obligations.

The Company’s management is closely monitoring and reducing operating expenses where it is able to, while ensuring the trajectory and viability of the business remains intact. However, the Company cannot meet its debt maturity obligations without a significant capital infusion or a lender’s commitment to refinance the debt. After considering all available evidence, Leafly’s management determined that the combined impact of the cost reduction measures outlined above, Leafly’s current negative working capital of $17,873 as of December 31, 2024 and planned operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date that these December 31, 2024 financial statements are issued and that substantial doubt exists about Leafly’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 12, 2023, the Company implemented a one-for-twenty reverse split of its common stock (Note 11). To facilitate comparative analysis, all statements in this Annual Report regarding numbers of shares of common stock and all references to prices of a share of common stock, if referencing events or circumstances occurring prior to September 12, 2023, have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on a pro forma basis.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation (e.g. change in fair value of derivatives are now classified within other income and expense and derivative liabilities are now included with other current and other long-term liabilities). These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss.

Seasonality

We may experience seasonality in our business, which we believe has moderate impacts on our overall revenue. In certain years, we’ve seen seasonal fluctuations that coincide with either federal holidays, generally in the fourth quarter, or industry holidays and events, generally in the spring. Our industry and business history is limited and therefore we cannot be certain that these are known trends or that other trends may develop.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Leafly was previously an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period. In providing this relief, the JOBS Act does not preclude the Company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies. Leafly will continue to use this relief until the earlier of the date that it (a) is no longer an EGC or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Leafly’s status as an EGC expired effective December 31, 2024, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock in Merida’s initial public offering. As such, the Company no longer is eligible to use this extended transition period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Such estimates include those related to the allowance for credit losses; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; the fair value of the convertible promissory notes; the estimate of capitalized software costs and useful life of capitalized software; and the fair value of equity issuances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are remeasured to U.S. dollars at current or historic exchange rates, as appropriate. Revenues and expenses are

remeasured to U.S. dollars using historic or average monthly exchange rates, as appropriate. Remeasurement gains and losses are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of our foreign subsidiaries are individually less than 10% of our respective consolidated amounts. The Canadian dollar is our primary foreign currency. Remeasurement gains and losses have not been significant, and therefore we do not present separately translation adjustments or other comprehensive income/(loss).

Foreign Operations

Operations outside the U.S. comprise primarily Leafly Canada’s activities in Canada. Foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing tax laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government price or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on currency exchange. Net assets of our foreign subsidiaries were $1,983 and $1,623 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may hold cash balances that exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), or the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) as discussed further below. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 includes collateral held at the Company’s financial institution and its credit card processing company. The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash approximate their carrying value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions primarily in the U.S. and Canada. At times, deposits in financial institutions may be in excess of the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the FDIC, NCUA or CDIC. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaling $8,833 and $9,065, respectively, held in domestic and foreign institutions, were insured within the limitations set by the FDIC, NCUA or CDIC, as applicable. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits.

Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses as necessary.

Accounts Receivable, Net and Payment Terms

The Company records accounts receivable (Note 4) at the time of invoicing the customer. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and the service being provided. Fees are usually non-refundable. Subscription-based services are typically invoiced monthly in advance and impression-based services are typically invoiced monthly in arrears. Customer payment terms vary by arrangement although payments are typically due within 30 days of invoicing. The timing between the satisfaction of the performance obligations and the payment is not significant and the Company currently does not have any significant financing components or significant payment terms. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company records an allowance for credit losses (Note 4) for fees owed for completed transactions that may never settle or be collected in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The

allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the enterprise and trade receivables balance. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for expected credit losses by considering the age of each outstanding invoice, the collection history of each customer, and other relevant factors, including contractual term and current and future economic conditions.

Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers

Certain sales incentive compensation costs are incremental costs to obtain the related customer contract. For contract costs with amortization periods of more than 12 months, these costs are capitalized in the period in which they are incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer life of the associated contract. There were no capitalized costs to obtain contracts with customers in 2024 or 2023. For contract costs with amortization periods of less than 12 months, the Company applies a practical expedient to expense such costs as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization (Note 6). Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to acquisition and development of software for internal use, including internal labor costs incurred during development (Note 6). The Company begins to capitalize these costs when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence, management has authorized and committed project funding; and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expense. The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred related to cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal period. Any capitalized amounts related to such arrangements are recorded within prepaid expense and other current assets and within non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company places capitalized software assets into service and commences amortization when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to the assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

The Company’s estimated useful life for capitalized software is three years, and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method.

Leases

The Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than 12 months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives using an estimated discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial

present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments.

The Company does not recognize its renewal options as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities until it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such renewal options.

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components; however, the Company currently has no leases requiring analysis of lease components.

The Company did not have any operating lease right-of-use assets as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Any impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost or the fair value less the cost to sell.

Stock Repurchases

The Company accounts for repurchases of its common stock by recording the cost to repurchase those shares to treasury stock (Note 11), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Upon retirement, the carrying amount of treasury stock is reduced with a corresponding reduction to par value of common stock, with any excess of the cost incurred to repurchase shares over their par value recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit on the date of retirement.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company generates revenue (Note 8) by providing customers with online software and advertising services, primarily through subscription agreements. Leafly also provides advertising on a per-impression delivered basis.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Leafly provides to its clients a platform to engage with and advertise to interested consumers. This subscription-based platform is delivered by way of a hosted, web-based application or Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model. Customers of Leafly never take possession of any software as it is hosted in the cloud.

All the Company’s revenue and trade receivables are generated from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Customer arrangements are evidenced by written or electronic acceptance of a contract describing the services to be delivered, the timing, and the pricing.

Performance Obligations — A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under ASC Topic 606. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies and tracks the performance obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the amount of revenue it recognizes is equal to the amount which the Company has a right to invoice.

The Company’s Retail contracts typically contain a single performance obligation consisting of the hosted software in a multi-tenant environment where support and maintenance are included for customers. Retail contracts with multiple performance obligations contain additional services offerings, either in the form of subscription or one-time service. Additional Retail service offerings change over time but currently include additional mapping, mobile, homepage, and video features, as well as sponsorships, premium placement, pick-up lead generation, insights, and customer communications, including emails and mobile push notifications. Brands customers can purchase any number and combination of services; none of the Brands services require the purchase of another Brands service.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for any distinct good or service, the Company may be required to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate for the SSP. The portion of our revenue for which SSP requires estimation has been immaterial.

A majority of the customer contracts have performance obligations that the Company satisfies over time, and revenue is recognized by consistently applying a method of measuring progress toward satisfaction of that performance obligation. Some contracts contain a performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time upon delivery of the specified services. Revenues recognized over time are associated with software subscriptions, display ads and audience extension. Revenues recognized at a point in time are associated with branded content and channel advertising.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions—There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under ASC Topic 606 that impact the timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. Below is a list of practical expedients applied by the Company:

The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.
The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Contract Balances—The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company mainly provides subscription services and bills its customers upfront for any services to be performed. As such, the Company did not have any contracts assets as of, or during the years ended, December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)—The Company records Deferred Revenue when the Company has received or has the right to receive consideration but has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers for online software on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, with payment due 30 days from the date of the invoice. Unpaid invoice amounts for non-cancelable services starting in future periods are included in accounts receivable and deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of credit card processing fees, third-party professional services, data licensing costs, website infrastructure including hosting costs, and salaries and employee benefits for the engineering teams responsible for operating the Company’s online software platform.

Product Development

Product development expenses primarily consist of professional services fees, allocations of various overhead and occupancy costs, and salaries and employee benefits for the engineering teams responsible for developing new products or services or significant improvements to existing products or services. Product development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Product development costs were $9,194 and $9,848 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method (Note 16). Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically reviews its operations and significant income tax positions for uncertainties and areas of judgment in the application of complex income tax regulations in several tax jurisdictions and provides a liability for potential income taxes, where applicable. The Company includes any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company asserts to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings to ensure sufficient working capital and further expansion of existing operations outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries operated at a cumulative deficit for U.S. earnings and profit purposes. In the event the Company is required to repatriate funds from outside of the U.S., such repatriation would be subject to local laws, customs, and tax consequences. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

Advertising

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses incurred by the Company were $148 and $93 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense (Note 13) represents the cost of the grant date fair value of New Leafly 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) purchase rights, stock option, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit grants, estimated in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The vesting period generally approximates the expected service period, or where applicable the performance period, of the awards. The service period for ESPP rights is equal to the offering period, which is six months. When equity awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting or exercisability of the award, the Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met and the service is provided. Compensation cost for awards with a performance condition are recognized over the shorter of the derived service period or the explicit/implicit service period. Compensation expense for awards subject to market-based conditions are recognized on a straight-line basis

over the derived service period, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures are recognized and accounted for as they occur.

The fair value of ESPP purchase rights and stock options with service or performance conditions is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, inclusive of assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected dividends, expected terms, expected volatility, and the fair value of the underlying stock. The fair value of restricted stock awards with service or performance conditions is estimated on the date of grant based on the market value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of stock options and restricted stock units with market-based conditions is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model, inclusive of assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected terms, expected volatility, and the market target. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of stock options at each valuation date, which could result in different stock-based compensation expense.

The risk-free interest rates used are based on the U.S. Department of Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) yield in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the stock options. We base the assumed dividend yield on our expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Options granted have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. The Company has limited historical stock option activity and therefore estimates the expected term of stock options granted using the simplified method, which represents the average of the contractual term of the stock option and its weighted-average vesting period. The expected volatility of ESPP purchase rights and stock options are based upon the historical volatility of a number of publicly traded companies determined to be comparable to the Company. The Company has historically not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s 401(k) saving plan is a tax-qualified deferred compensation arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Under the 401(k) Plan (Note 13), participating U.S. employees may contribute a portion of their eligible earnings, subject to applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service and plan limits. The Company matches up to 3.5% of the employee’s eligible compensation, vested immediately.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which are typically short-term in nature. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s derivative liabilities are financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its Private Warrants (Note 12), Escrow Shares (Note 11), and its Stockholder Earnout Rights (Note 11), all of which used Level 3 inputs and all of whose strike prices were out of the money during and as of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, these derivative liabilities, included in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $73 and $129, respectively. The change in fair value of these derivative liabilities, which is included in Other Income (Expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations, was $56 and $309 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
