Tax Receivable Agreement [Abstract]

Tax Receivable Agreement

Tax Receivable Agreement

On July 29, 2021, the Company executed the TRA with the TRA Participants. The TRA provides for payment by the Company to the TRA Participants of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that is actually realized, or deemed to be realized (calculated using certain assumptions), as a result of the utilization of such tax benefits, including certain tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash tax savings.

Payments under the TRA will not begin until after the filing of the Company’s 2021 federal tax return. If the Company does not have taxable income (before considering deductions that are subject to the TRA), it is not required (absent circumstances requiring an early termination payment, other acceleration of its obligations under the TRA or a change of control) to make payments under the TRA for that taxable year because no cash tax savings will have been realized. However, unutilized deductions that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year as a result of insufficient taxable income may be applied to taxable income in future years and accordingly would impact the amount of cash tax savings in such future years and the amount of corresponding payments under the TRA in such future years.

Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized a non-current liability of $112,681, which represented undiscounted aggregate payments that it expects to pay the TRA Participants under the TRA, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Subsequent changes in the measurement of the liability will be adjusted through the consolidated statement of operations. The TRA liability is an estimate and estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The amount and timing of any payments under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character and timing of the Company’s income. The tax receivable liability as of December 31, 2021 was $112,406. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized measurement adjustments of $275 which were recognized in other income on the consolidated statements of operations.

With respect to certain pre-IPO owners that are not TRA Participants, the Company paid $13,210 with cash on hand for their interests in lieu of their participation in the TRA. Approximately $2,754 of the cash payments to pre-IPO owners are subject to vesting requirements and are held in escrow until vested. The cash payments held in escrow are included in the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets and are expensed over the requisite service period. The remaining $10,456 of the cash payments were expensed and paid or accrued in conjunction with the closing of the IPO. In total, $10,925 was recorded as compensation expense within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
