CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” "position us" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Our actual results may differ significantly from any results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. A summary of the principal risk factors that might cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements is set forth below. The following is only a summary of the principal risks that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the risk factors we face, which are set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our “Annual Report”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Our business is dependent on key clients, and the loss of a key client could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

•Our clients may terminate contracts before completion or choose not to renew contracts and a loss of business or non-payment from clients could materially affect our results of operations.

•We may fail to cost-effectively acquire and retain new clients, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•If we provide inadequate service or cause disruptions in our clients’ businesses or fail to comply with the quality standards required by our clients under our agreements, it could result in significant costs to us, the loss of our clients and damage to our corporate reputation.

•Unauthorized or improper disclosure of personal or other sensitive information, or security breaches and incidents, whether inadvertent or purposeful, including as the result of a cyber-attack, could result in liability and harm our reputation, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•Trust and Safety, including content monitoring and moderation services, is a large portion of our business. The long term impacts on the mental health and well-being of our employees doing this work are unknown. This work may lead to stress disorders and may create liabilities for us. This work is also subject to significant press and regulatory scrutiny. As a result, we may be subject to negative publicity or liability, or face difficulties recruiting and retaining employees, any of which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Our failure to detect and deter criminal or fraudulent activities or other misconduct by our employees, or third parties such as contractors and consultants that may have access to our data, could result in loss of trust from our clients and negative publicity, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

•Global economic and political conditions, especially in the social media and meal delivery and transport industries from which we generate significant revenue, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

•Our business is heavily dependent upon our international operations, particularly in the Philippines and India, and any disruption to those operations would adversely affect us.

•Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. federal and state, as well as international laws and regulations, including those regarding data privacy and security, and we or our clients may be subject to regulations related to the processing of certain types of sensitive and confidential information. Any failure to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Our business prospects will suffer if we are unable to continue to anticipate our clients’ needs by adapting to market and technology trends, investing in technology as it develops, and adapting our services and solutions to changes in technology and client expectations.     

•Fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate could have a material effect on our results of operations.

•Our business depends on a strong brand and corporate reputation, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to expand our client base will be impaired and our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

•Pricing pressure may reduce our revenue or gross profits and adversely affect our financial results.

•Our results of operations have been, and could in the future be, adversely affected by volatile, unfavorable or uncertain economic and political conditions, particularly in the markets in which our clients and operations are concentrated, and the effects of these conditions on our clients’ businesses.

•The success of our business depends on our senior management and key employees.

•The COVID-19 pandemic, including the resulting global economic uncertainty and measures taken in response to the pandemic, has adversely impacted our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Increases in employee expenses as well as changes to labor laws could reduce our profit margin.

•We may fail to attract, hire, train and retain sufficient numbers of skilled employees in a timely fashion at our sites to support our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

•Our business relies heavily on owned and third-party technology and computer systems, which subjects us to various uncertainties.

•Our profitability will suffer if we are not able to maintain asset utilization levels, price appropriately and control our costs.

•Our Sponsor and our Co-Founders control us and their interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future.

•The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our common stock prior to the completion of our June 2021 initial public offering (“IPO”), and it may depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.

•The market price of shares of our Class A common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

We urge you to carefully consider the foregoing summary together with the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, and in Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Organization

TaskUs, Inc. (formerly known as TU TopCo, Inc.) (“TaskUs” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was formed by investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) as a vehicle for the acquisition of TaskUs Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as TaskUs, Inc.) (“TaskUs Holdings”) on October 1, 2018 (the “Blackstone Acquisition”). Prior to the Blackstone Acquisition, TaskUs had no operations and TaskUs Holdings operated as a standalone entity. TaskUs, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 2018, and is headquartered in New Braunfels, Texas.

The Company is a provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to the world’s most innovative companies, helping its clients represent, protect and grow their brands. The Company’s global, omni-channel delivery model is focused on providing its clients three key services - Digital Customer Experience, Trust and Safety and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Services. The Company has designed its platform to enable it to rapidly scale and benefit from its clients’ growth. Through its agile and responsive operational model, the Company delivers services from multiple delivery sites that span globally from the United States, Philippines, India and other parts of the world.

The Company’s major service offerings are described in more detail below:

•Digital Customer Experience: Principally consists of omni-channel customer care services, primarily delivered through digital (non-voice) channels.

•AI Services: Principally consists of high-quality data labeling services, annotation, context relevance and transcription services performed for the purpose of training and tuning machine learning algorithms, enabling them to develop cutting-edge AI systems.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2023 and its results of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. India, which was previously included in Rest of World, is now reported separately within revenue disaggregation by geographical location. Other receivables, Prepaid expenses and Other current assets have been combined into Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the

reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the determination of useful lives and impairment of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables; the valuation of deferred tax assets; the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets; valuation of forward contracts; valuation of stock-based compensation; valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, as well as related impairment assessments; and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no variable interest entities in its corporate structure.

(d) Concentration Risk

Most of the Company’s customers are located in the United States. Customers outside of the United States are concentrated in Europe.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the following customers represented greater than 10% of the Company’s service revenue:

Client	Service revenue percentage
	Three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
A	20	%	24	%
B	Less than 10 %		10	%

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the following clients represented greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable:

	Accounts receivable percentage
Client	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
A	16	%	17	%
B	12	%	13	%

The Company’s principal operations, including the majority of its employees and the fixed assets owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, are located in the Philippines.

(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The revised standard relates to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, and requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model referred to as current expected credit loss ("CECL"). The CECL model requires us to measure lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. The company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination

On April 15, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Parsec d.o.o. and Q Experience d.o.o. (collectively, "heloo") for $35.4 million. The former shareholders of heloo are also

eligible to receive contingent earn-out payments not to exceed €20 million, based on performance compared to prescribed EBITDA targets outlined in the purchase agreement during each of the one year periods ending April 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The total fair value of contingent earn-out payments was determined to be $18.5 million and $14.9 million as March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, based on a Monte Carlo simulation model, utilizing a discounted payout analysis based on probabilities and timing of achieving the prescribed targets. Since these payments are contingent on future service conditions, they are recognized as compensation expense ratably over the required service period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $6.6 million in compensation expense related to the contingent earn-out payments included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company's revenues are derived from contracts with customers related to business outsourcing services that it provides. The following table presents the breakdown of the Company’s revenues by service offering:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Digital Customer Experience	$	157,136	$	159,731
Trust and Safety	40,598		45,852
AI Services	37,572		34,097
Service revenue	$	235,306	$	239,680

The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from contracts with customers who are located in the United States. However, the Company delivers its services from geographies outside of the United States. The following table presents the breakdown of the Company’s revenues by geographical location, based on where the services are provided from:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Philippines	$	126,859	$	120,080
United States	46,662		79,131
India	28,243		23,358
Rest of World	33,542		17,111
Service revenue	$	235,306	$	239,680

Contract Balances

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts includes $84.2 million and $80.8 million of unbilled revenues as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

5. Forward Contracts and Fair Value Measurement

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk. During 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts, with two commercial banks as the counterparties, with maturities of generally 12 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted costs denominated in Philippine pesos. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange rate contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. The Company does not use foreign currency exchange rate contracts for trading purposes. The exchange rate forward contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The forward contract receivable (payable) resulting from changes in fair value was recorded under prepaid expenses and other current assets (accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

The following table presents the Company's settled forward contracts and realized and unrealized losses (gains) associated with derivative contracts:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Total notional amount of settled forward contracts	$	59,425	$	40,382
Realized losses from settlement of forward contracts	$	1,618	$	1,420
Unrealized losses (gains) on forward contracts	$	(6,336)	$	759

The following table presents the Company's outstanding forward contracts:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Total notional amount of outstanding forward contracts	$	110,925	$	175,050

By entering into derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. For the periods presented, the non-performance risk of the Company and the counterparties did not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments.

The Company has implemented the fair value accounting standard for those assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

For financial statement presentation purposes, we offset assets and liabilities for forward contracts with the same counterparty that we intend to net settle upon maturity; however, we do not offset assets and liabilities under master netting arrangements that we do not intend to net settle. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

	March 31, 2023

The Company’s derivatives are carried at fair value using various pricing models that incorporate observable market inputs, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, which are Level 2 inputs. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or by the Company.

2022 Credit Agreement

On September 7, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with both new and existing lenders which amended and restated its previous credit agreement. The 2022 Credit Agreement includes a $270.0 million term loan (the "2022 Term Loan Facility") and a $190.0 million revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the “2022 Credit Facilities”).

The 2022 Term Loan Facility matures on September 7, 2027, and commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, requires quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2023, 0.625% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2024, 1.25% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2025, 1.875% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2026 and 2.50% of the original principal amount thereafter, with the remaining principal due in a lump sum at the maturity date. Voluntary principal prepayments are permitted.

The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company with access to a $15.0 million letter of credit facility and a $15.0 million swing line facility, each of which, to the extent used, reduces borrowing availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility terminates on September 7, 2027. As of March 31, 2023, we had $190.0 million of borrowing availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement, with the exception of swing line borrowings, bear interest, at our option, either at (i) an adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR rate") plus a margin of 2.25% per annum, subject to a Term SOFR rate floor of 0.00% or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin of 1.25% per annum, subject to an alternative base rate floor of 1.00%. Any borrowings under the swing line will be subject to the base rate. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also requires a commitment fee of 0.40% per annum of undrawn commitments to be paid quarterly in arrears. We have elected to pay interest on borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility based on the SOFR rate. The interest rate in effect for the 2022 Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2023 was 6.993% per annum.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring compliance with a maximum total net leverage ratio and certain other covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting additional borrowings, investments (including acquisitions) and distributions. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2023. Substantially all assets of our direct wholly owned subsidiary TU MidCo, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, TU BidCo, Inc. and its material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the 2022 Credit Agreement, subject to certain customary exceptions.

9. Leases

10. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition.

On February 23, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Lozada v. TaskUs, Inc. et al., No. 22-cv-1479-JPC, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our President, and our Chief Financial Officer. The complaint alleges that the registration statement filed in connection with the Company’s IPO and the Company’s second and third quarter 2021 earnings calls contained materially false and misleading information in violation of the federal securities laws. On October 20, 2022, the Court entered an order appointing Humberto Lozada as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. On December 16, 2022, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging additional misstatements in certain of the Company’s 2021 earnings releases filed on Form 8-K and at an investor conference, and asserting additional securities claims, including against members of TaskUs’s board of directors as well as BDP FC Aggregator L.P. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. On February 17, 2023, TaskUs filed a motion to dismiss, which is currently pending. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom.

The Company has received three lawsuits that present in large degree the same legal or factual issues, with allegations that are similar in nature. We believe that these three lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend each vigorously. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that these actions will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom. As these actions are still in preliminary phases, any potential loss or impact on financial position or results of operations cannot yet be estimated:

On April 1, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Gregory Forsberg, Christopher Gunter, Samuel Kissinger, and Scott Sipprell vs. TaskUs, Inc. and Shopify, Inc., Shopify Holdings (USA), Inc., Shopify (USA) Inc., No. 1:22-cv-00436-UNA, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges the named defendants failed to exercise reasonable care in securing and safeguarding consumer information in connection with a 2020 data breach impacting Ledger SAS cryptocurrency hardware wallets, resulting in the unauthorized public release of approximately 272,000 pieces of detailed personally identifiable information, including Plaintiffs’ and class members’ full names, email addresses, postal addresses, and telephone numbers. The four named plaintiffs allege aggregate losses of approximately $140,000, and allege that the damages exceed $5 million for purposes of class action jurisdiction. On April 8, 2022, TaskUs filed a motion to dismiss, which is currently pending. This case is currently stayed.

On September 16, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned My Choice Software, LLC vs. Shopify, Inc. Shopify (USA) Inc., TaskUs, Inc., Does 1-100, No. CGC-22-601842, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco. The complaint alleges the named defendants secretly installed tracking cookies on consumers' devices to track individual consumer activity and gather private information and that the defendant Shopify allowed two of its support staff to steal customer data from more than 100 merchants. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief. This complaint has not been served on TaskUs, Inc.

On September 16, 2022, a lawsuit captioned My Choice Software, LLC vs. TaskUs, Inc., Tassilo Heinrich, Shopify, Inc., Shopify Holdings (USA) Inc., Shopify (USA) Inc., Does 1-50, No. 22-cv-1710 was filed in the US District Court, Central District of California. The complaint alleges the defendants profited off of the plaintiff's information. The complaint seeks

unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable and injunctive relief. On February 13, 2023, TaskUs, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which is currently pending.

Indemnification

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify clients, vendors and other business partners with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, cybersecurity breach, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. Historically, we have not experienced significant losses on these types of indemnification obligations.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes the stock option and restricted stock unit ("RSU") activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

	Options			RSUs
	Number of options	Weighted - average exercise price		Number of RSUs	Weighted - average grant date fair value
Outstanding at January 1, 2023	7,723,711	$	12.98	3,895,224	$	28.00
Granted	770,937	$	18.11	1,379,119	$	18.14
Exercised or released	(46,132)	$	4.54	(200,405)	$	26.00
Forfeited, cancelled or expired	(334,159)	$	6.38	(128,503)	$	27.42
Outstanding at March 31, 2023	8,114,357	$	13.78	4,945,435	$	25.34

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $8.85. There were 3,373,417 performance stock units ("PSUs") outstanding at January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes the components of stock-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Cost of services	$	877	$	703
Selling, general, and administrative expense	12,587		18,902
Total	$	13,464	$	19,605

As of March 31, 2023, there was $15.7 million, $68.8 million and $4.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the Company’s unvested stock options, RSUs and PSUs, respectively, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years, 1.5 years and 1.5 years.

12. Income Taxes

In determining its interim provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected income before taxes, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

The Company recorded provision for income taxes of $6.0 million and $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was 38.6% and 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to nondeductible earn-out consideration, as well as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion, Base Erosion Anti-avoidance Tax ("BEAT") and nondeductible compensation of officers. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to GILTI inclusion, BEAT, tax benefits of income tax holidays in foreign jurisdiction, and nondeductible compensation of officers.

13. Earnings Per Share

The Company has Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding. Because the only difference between the two classes of common stock are related to voting, transfer and conversion rights, the Company has not presented earnings per share under the two-class method, as earnings per share are the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)	2023		2022
Numerator:
Net income available to common shareholders	$	9,509	$	11,586
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic	97,561,650		97,481,412
Effect of dilutive securities	3,390,923		6,640,614
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – diluted	100,952,573		104,122,026
Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.10	$	0.12
Diluted	$	0.09	$	0.11

The Company excluded 3,778,307 and 1,152,816 potential common stock equivalents from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were 4,819,894 and 5,292,857 potential common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with market conditions which were not met at that date, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

14. Subsequent Events

On May 8, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a $100.0 million increase to the Company’s share repurchase program, increasing the total authorization to $200.0 million. After giving effect to repurchases completed under the original share repurchase program and the approved $100.0 million increase, approximately $155.1 million remained available for share repurchases as of May 5, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the Annual Report"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the information included under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. In addition to historical data, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report and under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

This Quarterly Report includes certain historical consolidated financial and other data for TaskUs, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”). The following discussion provides a narrative of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. India, which was previously included in Rest of World, is now reported separately within revenue disaggregation by geographical location. As a result, the comparison of service revenue by delivery geography for the three months ended March 31, 2022 has been recast for comparability.

We believe clients choose TaskUs in part because they view our company culture as aligned with their own, which enables us to act as a natural extension of their brands and gives us an advantage in the recruitment of highly engaged frontline teammates who produce better results.

Recent Financial Highlights

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded service revenue of $235.3 million, a 1.8% decrease from $239.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased to $9.5 million from $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease is due primarily to rising interest rates and revenue declines associated with certain clients electing to shift work from the United States, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 7.0% to $32.5 million from $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 2.0% to $55.2 million from $54.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

2023 Developments

Macroeconomic Trends

Macroeconomic factors, including global economic and geopolitical developments, increased inflation rates, interest rate increases, and foreign currency exchange rate changes, have direct and indirect impacts on our results of operations that are difficult to isolate and quantify. Due to market uncertainty and potential recession or other economic challenges, many of our customers have increased their focus on cost reduction resulting in certain customers electing to shift work from our onshore locations to our offshore delivery locations or reduce vendor spend across the board. These factors contributed to a deceleration in our revenue growth rate and an increase in our operating costs. We expect some or all of these factors to continue to impact our operations in the near term; however, we believe that the increased cost focus also creates meaningful opportunities with both new and existing clients.

Cost management and financial flexibility

During three months ended March 31, 2023, we continued to focus on cost management and financial flexibility. We reviewed of our cost structure in order to drive efficiencies across functions. While we incurred certain costs associated with these changes, including severance in some cases, we believe these actions will have long-term benefits to the goal of enabling our future growth and profitability. We generated net cash flow from operating activities of $43.7 million and Free Cash Flow of $38.4 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The period over period declines in Trust and Safety and Digital Customer Experience contributed 2.2% and 1.0%, respectively, while growth in AI Services contributed 1.4% of the total decrease of 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The 11.5% decline in Trust and Safety was primarily driven by a decrease from existing clients in Social Media and FinTech, partially offset by an increase from existing clients in Entertainment + Gaming, On Demand Travel + Transportation and Retail + E-Commerce, as well as new clients in Social Media.

The 1.6% decline in Digital Customer Experience was primarily driven by a decrease from existing clients in FinTech, Social Media, HealthTech, Retail + E-Commerce and Professional Services + Industry. These decreases were mostly offset by an increase from new clients in On Demand Travel + Transportation, FinTech, Retail + E-Commerce, HealthTech and Technology, as well as new clients as a result of the acquisition of Parsec d.o.o. and Q Experience d.o.o. ("heloo"), and existing clients in Technology, Entertainment + Gaming and On Demand Travel + Transportation.

The 10.2% growth in AI Services was primarily driven by an increase from existing clients in On Demand Travel + Transportation, Social Media and Entertainment + Gaming, as well as new clients in Retail + E-Commerce, partially offset by a decrease from existing clients in Retail + E-Commerce and HealthTech.

Service revenue by delivery geography

We deliver our services from multiple locations around the world; however, the majority of our service revenues are derived from contracts that require payment in United States dollars, regardless of whether the clients are located in the United States.

The following table presents the breakdown of our service revenue by geographical location, based on where the services are provided, for each period:

	Three months ended March 31,				Period over Period Change
(in thousands, except %)	2023		2022		($)		(%)
Philippines	$	126,859	$	120,080	$	6,779	5.6	%
United States	46,662		79,131		(32,469)		(41.0)	%
India	28,243		23,358		4,885		20.9	%
Rest of World	33,542		17,111		16,431		96.0	%
Service revenue	$	235,306	$	239,680	$	(4,374)	(1.8)	%

Revenue generated from services provided from our delivery sites in the Philippines grew primarily from expansion in two of our service offerings, including the impact of certain clients electing to shift work from the United States. Trust and Safety contributed 6.3% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Social Media. AI Services contributed 3.0% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Social Media, On Demand Travel + Transportation, Retail + E-Commerce and Entertainment + Gaming. These increases were partially offset by a 3.7% decrease contributed by Digital Customer Experience primarily driven by clients in FinTech, On Demand Travel + Transportation, HealthTech and Professional Services + Industry, partially offset by clients in Technology.

Revenue generated from services provided from our delivery sites in the United States declined primarily from certain of our clients electing to shift work from the United States to the Philippines and India as well as decreased spending from clients in FinTech, particularly crypto and equity trading clients. Digital Customer Experience contributed 20.4% of the total decrease primarily driven by clients in FinTech and Social Media, partially offset by clients in On Demand Travel + Transportation. Trust and Safety contributed 18.9% of the total decrease primarily driven by clients in Social Media and FinTech. AI Services contributed 1.7% of the total decrease primarily driven by clients in Social Media and Retail + E-Commerce, partially offset by clients in On Demand Travel + Transportation and Entertainment + Gaming.

Revenue generated from services provided from our delivery sites in India grew primarily from expansion in all three of our service offerings, including the impact of certain clients electing to shift work from the United States. Digital Customer Experience contributed 9.8% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in On Demand Travel + Transportation and Retail + E-Commerce. Trust and Safety contributed 6.7% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Social Media, On Demand Travel + Transportation and Retail + E-Commerce, partially offset by clients in FinTech. AI Services contributed 4.3% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Social Media and On Demand Travel + Transportation, partially offset by clients in HealthTech.

Revenue generated from services provided from our delivery sites in the Rest of World grew primarily from expansion in all three of our service offerings. Digital Customer Experience contributed 92.0% of the total increase primarily driven by new clients as a result of the acquisition of heloo, clients in FinTech, On Demand Travel + Transportation and Entertainment +

Trust and Safety contributed 2.9% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Entertainment + Gaming, mostly offset by clients in Social Media. AI Services contributed 1.1% of the total increase primarily driven by clients in Technology and On Demand Travel + Transportation. Growth in the Rest of World was led by Europe, with consistent growth from Latin America and Asia.

Operating expenses

Cost of services

Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $137.8 million and $141.3 million, respectively. Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $3.5 million, or 2.5%, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel costs of $3.2 million, including the impact of certain clients electing to shift work from the United States to the Philippines and India. The remaining decrease included lower recruiting costs, mostly offset by costs associated with site expansions and certain teammates operating on-site.

Selling, general, and administrative expense

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $64.3 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 remained flat when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Selling, general, and administrative expense was impacted by higher personnel costs of $1.5 million, due primarily to earn-out consideration associated with the acquisition of heloo recognized as compensation expense, as well as severance recognized as we drive efficiencies across functions, mostly offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation expense. The increase in personnel costs were mostly offset by lower recruiting and professional development costs.

Depreciation

Depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $9.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The increase in depreciation is a result of capital expenditures for leasehold improvements associated with site expansions.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $5.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The increase in amortization is due to the acquisition of heloo on April 15, 2022.

Other expense (income)

Other expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $(2.2) million and $1.1 million, respectively. Changes are driven by our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from our operations in foreign geographies, primarily the Philippines, offset by economic hedges using foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts. See Part I, Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report for additional information on how foreign currency impacts our financial results.

Financing expenses

Financing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $5.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Changes in financing expense are primarily driven by the rate of SOFR and LIBOR used to calculate the interest rate of our debt and additional borrowings during 2022.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $6.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 38.6% and 35.3%, respectively. Costs related to the issuance of stock-based compensation and costs related to the acquisition of heloo within the provision for income taxes calculation are adjusted for Non-GAAP purposes. If those costs are removed, the provision for income taxes would have been $8.0 million and $8.7 million and the effective tax rate would have been 21.6% and 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenue by Top Clients

The table below sets forth the percentage of our total service revenue derived from our largest clients for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Top ten clients	58	%	61	%
Top twenty clients	71	%	75	%

Our clients are part of the rapidly growing Digital Economy and they rely on our suite of digital solutions to drive their continued success. For our existing clients, we benefit from our ability to grow as they grow and to cross sell new solutions, further deepening our entrenchment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we generated 20% and 24%, respectively, of our service revenue from our largest client, and we generated less than 10% and 10%, respectively, of our service revenue from our second largest client.

We continue to identify and target high growth industry verticals and clients. Our strategy is to acquire new clients and further grow with our existing ones in order to achieve meaningful client and revenue diversification over time.

Foreign Currency

As a global company, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. See Part I, Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report for additional information on how foreign currency impacts our financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA, as key measures to assess the performance of our business.

Each of the measures are not recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and do not purport to be an alternative to net income or cash flow as a measure of our performance. Such measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider any of such measures in isolation or as substitutes for our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that can have a significant effect on our profit or loss and should, therefore, be used in conjunction with profit or loss for the period. Our management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income or loss for the period before the impact of amortization of intangible assets and certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, we excluded from Adjusted Net Income amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs, earn-out consideration, the effect of foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on disposals of assets, stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax associated with equity-classified awards and the related effect on income taxes of certain pre-tax adjustments, which include costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to net income applied in presenting Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents earnings available to shareholders excluding the impact of certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our business on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by our diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive to GAAP net income per share – diluted (“GAAP diluted EPS”) but dilutive to Adjusted EPS. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to earnings per share applied in presenting Adjusted EPS are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.

The following table reconciles GAAP diluted EPS, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
GAAP diluted EPS	$	0.09	$	0.11

(1) Reflects the aggregate adjustments made to reconcile net income to Adjusted Net Income, as noted in the above table, divided by the GAAP diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the relevant period.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income or loss for the period before the impact of the benefit from or provision for income taxes, financing expenses, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting financing expenses), tax

positions (such as the availability of net operating losses against which to relieve taxable profits), the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, we excluded from Adjusted EBITDA transaction costs, earn-out consideration, the effect of foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on disposals of assets, and stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax associated with equity-classified awards, which include costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities in the period minus cash used for purchase of property and equipment in the period. Our management believes that the inclusion of this non-GAAP measure, when considered with our GAAP results, provides management and investors with an additional understanding of our ability to generate additional cash for ongoing business operations and other capital deployment.

The following table reconciles net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023			2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	43,683		$	36,890

Free Cash Flow	$	38,439		$	19,120
Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA(1)	69.6		%	35.3		%

(1) Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA represents Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $167.0 million, which were held for working capital purposes, as well as the borrowing availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility of $190.0 million.

As of March 31, 2023, our total indebtedness, net of debt financing fees was $267.0 million. The interest rate in effect for the 2022 Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2023 was 6.993% per annum. We were in compliance with all debt covenants

Table of Contents

as of March 31, 2023. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 389,801 shares of our Class A common stock under the share repurchase program for $6.4 million, which we funded principally with available cash. As of March 31, 2023, approximately $62.7 million remained available for share repurchases under our share repurchase program.

Historically, we have financed our operations and made investments in supporting the growth of our business primarily through cash provided by operations. We expect to continue to make similar investments in the future. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and our 2022 Credit Facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our activities expose us to a variety of financial risks: market risk (includes foreign currency), interest rate risk and credit risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our exposure to market risk arises principally from exchange rate risk. Although substantially all of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of our expenses were incurred and paid in the Philippine peso and Indian rupee in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. We also incur expenses in U.S. dollars, and currencies of the other countries in which we have operations. The exchange rates among the Philippine peso, Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future.

The average exchange rate of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar increased from 51.56 pesos during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 54.83 pesos during the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing a depreciation of the Philippine peso of 6.3%. Based upon our level of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and excluding any forward contract arrangements that we had in place during that period, a 10% appreciation/depreciation in the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased our expenses incurred and paid in the Philippine peso by approximately $9.6 million or $7.8 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The average exchange rate of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar increased from 75.17 rupees during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 82.22 rupees during the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing a depreciation of the Indian rupee of 9.4%. Based upon our level of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 10% appreciation/depreciation in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased our expenses incurred and paid in the Indian rupee by approximately $2.2 million or $1.8 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In order to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuation risks and minimize the earnings and cash flow volatility associated with forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, and economically hedge our intercompany balances and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and are included in other expense (income).

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the realized losses of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, resulting from the settlement of forward contracts were included within other expense (income).

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had outstanding forward contracts. The forward contract receivable (payable) resulting from changes in fair value was recorded under prepaid expenses and other current assets (accounts payable and accrued liabilities). For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the unrealized losses (gains) on the forward contracts of $(6.3) million and $0.8 million, respectively, were included within other expense (income).

These contracts must be settled on the day of maturity or may be canceled subject to the receipts or payments of any gains or losses, respectively, equal to the difference between the contract exchange rate and the market exchange rate on the date of cancellation. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes. These derivative instruments do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on the settlement of these derivatives are intended to offset revaluation losses and gains on the assets and liabilities being hedged.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is influenced by the changes in interest rates paid on any outstanding balance on our borrowings, mainly under our 2022 Credit Facilities. All of our borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2023 accrue interest at SOFR plus 2.25%. Our total principal balance outstanding as of March 31, 2023 was $268.7 million. Based on the outstanding balances and interest rates under the 2022 Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2023, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in SOFR would cause an increase or decrease in interest expense of approximately $1.3 million over the next 12 months.

Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2023, we had accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $170.7 million, of which $47.3 million was owed by two of our clients. Collectively, these clients represented approximately 27% of our gross accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, the design and operation of the our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our purchases of Class A common stock were as follows:

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased(1)	Average Price Paid per Share(2)		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in thousands)
January 1, 2023 through January 31, 2023	106,148	$	17.32	106,148	$	67,195

Total	389,801			389,801

(1)

On September 7, 2022, our board of directors authorized the commencement of a share repurchase program, which authorizes us to purchase up to $100.0 million of shares of our Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Open market repurchases are expected to be structured to occur within the pricing volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon, business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, restrictions under the terms of our loan agreements and other relevant considerations. The repurchase program terminates on December 31, 2024, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.

Section 13(r) Disclosure

The disclosure reproduced below was initially included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) with respect to its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, in accordance with Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in regard to Mundys S.p.A. (formerly, Atlantia S.PA.).Mundys S.p.A. may be, or may have been at the time considered to be, an affiliate of Blackstone, and therefore an affiliate of TaskUs, Inc. (“TaskUs”).TaskUs did not independently verify or participate in the preparation of the disclosure reproduced below.

Blackstone included the following disclosure in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023:

Mundys S.p.A. (formerly “Atlantia S.p.A.”) provided the disclosure reproduced below in connection with activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. We have not independently verified or participated in the preparation of this disclosure.

“Disclosure pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Funds affiliated with Blackstone first invested in Mundys S.p.A. (formerly “Atlantia S.p.A.”) on November 18, 2022 in connection with the voluntary public tender offer by Schema Alfa S.p.A. for all of the shares of Mundys S.p.A., pursuant to which such funds obtained a minority non-controlling interest in Mundys S.p.A. Mundys S.p.A. owns and controls Aeroporti di Roma S.p.A. (“ADR”), an operator of airports in Italy including Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport. Iran Air has historically operated periodic flights to and from Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport as authorized, from time to time, by an aviation-related bilateral agreement between Italy and Iran, scheduled in compliance with European Regulation 95/93, and approved by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority. ADR, as airport operator, is under a mandatory obligation to provide airport services to all air carriers (including Iran Air) authorized by the applicable Italian authority.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2023 and its results of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. India, which was previously included in Rest of World, is now reported separately within revenue disaggregation by geographical location. Other receivables, Prepaid expenses and Other current assets have been combined into Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the

reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the determination of useful lives and impairment of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables; the valuation of deferred tax assets; the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets; valuation of forward contracts; valuation of stock-based compensation; valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, as well as related impairment assessments; and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no variable interest entities in its corporate structure.

(d) Concentration Risk

Most of the Company’s customers are located in the United States. Customers outside of the United States are concentrated in Europe.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the following customers represented greater than 10% of the Company’s service revenue:

Client	Service revenue percentage
	Three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
A	20	%	24	%
B	Less than 10 %		10	%

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the following clients represented greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable:

	Accounts receivable percentage
Client	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
A	16	%	17	%
B	12	%	13	%

The Company’s principal operations, including the majority of its employees and the fixed assets owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, are located in the Philippines.

(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The revised standard relates to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, and requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model referred to as current expected credit loss ("CECL"). The CECL model requires us to measure lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. The company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combination	Business CombinationOn April 15, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Parsec d.o.o. and Q Experience d.o.o. (collectively, "heloo") for $35.4 million. The former shareholders of heloo are also eligible to receive contingent earn-out payments not to exceed €20 million, based on performance compared to prescribed EBITDA targets outlined in the purchase agreement during each of the one year periods ending April 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The total fair value of contingent earn-out payments was determined to be $18.5 million and $14.9 million as March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, based on a Monte Carlo simulation model, utilizing a discounted payout analysis based on probabilities and timing of achieving the prescribed targets. Since these payments are contingent on future service conditions, they are recognized as compensation expense ratably over the required service period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $6.6 million in compensation expense related to the contingent earn-out payments included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Forward Contracts and Fair Value Measurement

3 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Forward Contracts and Fair Value Measurement

Forward Contracts and Fair Value MeasurementThe Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk. During 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts, with two commercial banks as the counterparties, with maturities of generally 12 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted costs denominated in Philippine pesos. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange rate contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. The Company does not use foreign currency exchange rate contracts for trading purposes. The exchange rate forward contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The forward contract receivable (payable) resulting from changes in fair value was recorded under prepaid expenses and other current assets (accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

The following table presents the Company's settled forward contracts and realized and unrealized losses (gains) associated with derivative contracts:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Total notional amount of settled forward contracts	$	59,425	$	40,382
Realized losses from settlement of forward contracts	$	1,618	$	1,420
Unrealized losses (gains) on forward contracts	$	(6,336)	$	759

The following table presents the Company's outstanding forward contracts:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Total notional amount of outstanding forward contracts	$	110,925	$	175,050

By entering into derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. For the periods presented, the non-performance risk of the Company and the counterparties did not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments.

The Company has implemented the fair value accounting standard for those assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

For financial statement presentation purposes, we offset assets and liabilities for forward contracts with the same counterparty that we intend to net settle upon maturity; however, we do not offset assets and liabilities under master netting arrangements that we do not intend to net settle. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

Forward contracts payable	$	—	$	3,049	$	—	$	3,049	$	(518)	$	2,531	$	(1,778)	$	753

The Company’s derivatives are carried at fair value using various pricing models that incorporate observable market inputs, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, which are Level 2 inputs. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or by the Company.

2022 Credit Agreement

On September 7, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with both new and existing lenders which amended and restated its previous credit agreement. The 2022 Credit Agreement includes a $270.0 million term loan (the "2022 Term Loan Facility") and a $190.0 million revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the “2022 Credit Facilities”).

The 2022 Term Loan Facility matures on September 7, 2027, and commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, requires quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2023, 0.625% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2024, 1.25% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2025, 1.875% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2026 and 2.50% of the original principal amount thereafter, with the remaining principal due in a lump sum at the maturity date. Voluntary principal prepayments are permitted.

The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company with access to a $15.0 million letter of credit facility and a $15.0 million swing line facility, each of which, to the extent used, reduces borrowing availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility terminates on September 7, 2027. As of March 31, 2023, we had $190.0 million of borrowing availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement, with the exception of swing line borrowings, bear interest, at our option, either at (i) an adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR rate") plus a margin of 2.25% per annum, subject to a Term SOFR rate floor of 0.00% or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin of 1.25% per annum, subject to an alternative base rate floor of 1.00%. Any borrowings under the swing line will be subject to the base rate. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also requires a commitment fee of 0.40% per annum of undrawn commitments to be paid quarterly in arrears. We have elected to pay interest on borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility based on the SOFR rate. The interest rate in effect for the 2022 Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2023 was 6.993% per annum.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring compliance with a maximum total net leverage ratio and certain other covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting additional borrowings, investments (including acquisitions) and distributions. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2023. Substantially all assets of our direct wholly owned subsidiary TU MidCo, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, TU BidCo, Inc. and its material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the 2022 Credit Agreement, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition.

On February 23, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Lozada v. TaskUs, Inc. et al., No. 22-cv-1479-JPC, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, our President, and our Chief Financial Officer. The complaint alleges that the registration statement filed in connection with the Company’s IPO and the Company’s second and third quarter 2021 earnings calls contained materially false and misleading information in violation of the federal securities laws. On October 20, 2022, the Court entered an order appointing Humberto Lozada as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. On December 16, 2022, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging additional misstatements in certain of the Company’s 2021 earnings releases filed on Form 8-K and at an investor conference, and asserting additional securities claims, including against members of TaskUs’s board of directors as well as BDP FC Aggregator L.P. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. On February 17, 2023, TaskUs filed a motion to dismiss, which is currently pending. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom.

The Company has received three lawsuits that present in large degree the same legal or factual issues, with allegations that are similar in nature. We believe that these three lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend each vigorously. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that these actions will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom. As these actions are still in preliminary phases, any potential loss or impact on financial position or results of operations cannot yet be estimated:

On April 1, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Gregory Forsberg, Christopher Gunter, Samuel Kissinger, and Scott Sipprell vs. TaskUs, Inc. and Shopify, Inc., Shopify Holdings (USA), Inc., Shopify (USA) Inc., No. 1:22-cv-00436-UNA, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges the named defendants failed to exercise reasonable care in securing and safeguarding consumer information in connection with a 2020 data breach impacting Ledger SAS cryptocurrency hardware wallets, resulting in the unauthorized public release of approximately 272,000 pieces of detailed personally identifiable information, including Plaintiffs’ and class members’ full names, email addresses, postal addresses, and telephone numbers. The four named plaintiffs allege aggregate losses of approximately $140,000, and allege that the damages exceed $5 million for purposes of class action jurisdiction. On April 8, 2022, TaskUs filed a motion to dismiss, which is currently pending. This case is currently stayed.

On September 16, 2022, a purported class action lawsuit captioned My Choice Software, LLC vs. Shopify, Inc. Shopify (USA) Inc., TaskUs, Inc., Does 1-100, No. CGC-22-601842, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco. The complaint alleges the named defendants secretly installed tracking cookies on consumers' devices to track individual consumer activity and gather private information and that the defendant Shopify allowed two of its support staff to steal customer data from more than 100 merchants. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable relief. This complaint has not been served on TaskUs, Inc.

On September 16, 2022, a lawsuit captioned My Choice Software, LLC vs. TaskUs, Inc., Tassilo Heinrich, Shopify, Inc., Shopify Holdings (USA) Inc., Shopify (USA) Inc., Does 1-50, No. 22-cv-1710 was filed in the US District Court, Central District of California. The complaint alleges the defendants profited off of the plaintiff's information. The complaint seeks

unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as equitable and injunctive relief. On February 13, 2023, TaskUs, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which is currently pending.

Indemnification

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify clients, vendors and other business partners with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, cybersecurity breach, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. Historically, we have not experienced significant losses on these types of indemnification obligations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

In determining its interim provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected income before taxes, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

The Company recorded provision for income taxes of $6.0 million and $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was 38.6% and 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to nondeductible earn-out consideration, as well as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion, Base Erosion Anti-avoidance Tax ("BEAT") and nondeductible compensation of officers. The difference between the effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to GILTI inclusion, BEAT, tax benefits of income tax holidays in foreign jurisdiction, and nondeductible compensation of officers.

Earnings Per Share

The Company has Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding. Because the only difference between the two classes of common stock are related to voting, transfer and conversion rights, the Company has not presented earnings per share under the two-class method, as earnings per share are the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

The Company excluded 3,778,307 and 1,152,816 potential common stock equivalents from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were 4,819,894 and 5,292,857 potential common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with market conditions which were not met at that date, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2023 and its results of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. India, which was previously included in Rest of World, is now reported separately within revenue disaggregation by geographical location. Other receivables, Prepaid expenses and Other current assets have been combined into Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the determination of useful lives and impairment of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables; the valuation of deferred tax assets; the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets; valuation of forward contracts; valuation of stock-based compensation; valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, as well as related impairment assessments; and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no variable interest entities in its corporate structure.

Concentration Risk

Concentration RiskMost of the Company’s customers are located in the United States. Customers outside of the United States are concentrated in Europe.The Company’s principal operations, including the majority of its employees and the fixed assets owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, are located in the Philippines.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The revised standard relates to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, and requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model referred to as current expected credit loss ("CECL"). The CECL model requires us to measure lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date using historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. The company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Forward Contracts

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk. During 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts, with two commercial banks as the counterparties, with maturities of generally 12 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted costs denominated in Philippine pesos. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange rate contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. The Company does not use foreign currency exchange rate contracts for trading purposes. The exchange rate forward contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments. Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The forward contract receivable (payable) resulting from changes in fair value was recorded under prepaid expenses and other current assets (accounts payable and accrued liabilities).

By entering into derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. For the periods presented, the non-performance risk of the Company and the counterparties did not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments.

The Company has implemented the fair value accounting standard for those assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.
