PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations and future liquidity. The words "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "continue" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute and achieve the expected benefits of our go-forward strategy; execution of our business and marketing strategies; volatility in our operating results; challenges arising from our international operations, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, legal and regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we operate and geopolitical instability resulting from the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; global economic uncertainty, including as a result of inflationary pressures; ongoing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and labor and supply chain challenges; retaining and adding high quality merchants and third-party business partners; retaining existing customers and adding new customers; competing successfully in our industry; providing a strong mobile experience for our customers; managing refund risks; retaining and attracting members of our executive and management teams and other qualified employees and personnel; customer and merchant fraud; payment-related risks; our reliance on email, internet search engines and mobile application marketplaces to drive traffic to our marketplace; cybersecurity breaches; maintaining and improving our information technology infrastructure; reliance on cloud-based computing platforms; completing and realizing the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and strategic investments; lack of control over minority investments; managing inventory and order fulfillment risks; claims related to product and service offerings; protecting our intellectual property; maintaining a strong brand; the impact of future and pending litigation; compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the CARD Act, GDPR, CPRA, other privacy-related laws and regulations of the Internet and e-commerce; classification of our independent contractors, agency workers, or employees; our ability to remediate our material weakness over internal control over financial reporting; risks relating to information or content published or made available on our websites or service offerings we make available; exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities; adoption of tax laws; our ability to use our tax attributes; impacts if we become subject to the Bank Secrecy Act or other anti-money laundering or money transmission laws or regulations; our ability to raise capital if necessary; our ability to continue as a going concern; risks related to our access to capital and outstanding indebtedness, including our convertible senior notes; our common stock, including volatility in our stock price; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the capped call transactions relating to our convertible senior notes; difficulties, delays or our inability to successfully complete all or part of the announced restructuring actions or to realize the operating efficiencies and other benefits of such restructuring actions; higher than anticipated restructuring charges or changes in the timing of such restructuring charges; and those risks and other factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30 2023 and September 30, 2023, as well as in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
As used herein, "Groupon," "the Company," "we," "our," "us" and similar terms include Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

GROUPON, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Company Information
Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which commenced operations in October 2008, is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants by offering goods and services, generally at a discount. Consumers access those marketplaces through our mobile applications and our websites.
Our operations are organized into two segments: North America and International. See Note 13, Segment Information.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
We have prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for the periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Groupon, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control and variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Outside stockholders' interests in subsidiaries are shown on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for at fair value as available-for-sale securities or at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, as appropriate.
Going Concern
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. ASC 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, requires management to assess the reporting entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In accordance with this guidance, we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.
Our net cash used in operating activities was $136.0 million and $124.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $132.5 million and $151.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $86.1 million as of September 30, 2023. We entered into a fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement in March 2023, which reduced our borrowing capacity and modified certain financial covenants as described in Note 5, Financing Arrangements. The fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement matures on May 14, 2024. The maturing credit facility together with cash outflows and operating losses indicate that we may not be able to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. These conditions and events, when considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are currently executing plans intended to enhance our liquidity position. These plans include, but are not limited to, completing the fully backstopped rights offering described in Note 14, Subsequent Events and monetizing certain non-core assets. In October 2023, we sold a portion of our non-controlling interest in SumUp

Holdings S.a.r.l. ("SumUp") for $8.8 million as described in Note 3, Investments. We continue to consider other options to improve our liquidity, such as pursuing additional financing from both the public and private markets and monetization of certain non-core assets, including the remainder of our investment in SumUp. In addition, we expect to pursue additional cost savings initiatives under our 2022 Cost Savings Plan (as defined in Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges), such as, but not limited to, additional restructuring actions, renegotiating contractual arrangements with certain service providers and continuing to make elective decisions to eliminate vacant positions rather than rehire. Management will also take steps designed to minimize the risk certain payment processors will require reserves or holdback receivables. While management intends to improve our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations through the plans described above, with the exception of the completed sale of a portion of our SumUp investment, those plans are subject to market or other conditions not within our control. Accordingly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates in our financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following: variable consideration from unredeemed vouchers; income taxes; leases; initial valuation and subsequent impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets; investments; receivables; customer refunds and other reserves; contingent liabilities; and the useful lives of property, equipment and software and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
There were no new accounting standards adopted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
NOTE 2. GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We performed an assessment in the first, second, and third quarters of 2023 and did not identify a triggering event that would have required us to test for impairment for such periods.
We determined the impact to our business from the new variant of COVID-19 during the first quarter of 2022 and a downward revision of our forecast during the second quarter of 2022 required us to evaluate our goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2022, we determined the carrying amount of one of our right-of-use-assets related to our 2020 Restructuring Plan may not be fully recoverable due to collectability of sublease income. For the first quarter of 2022, our interim quantitative assessment did not identify any goodwill or long-lived asset impairment. For the second quarter of 2022, we recognized $35.4 million of goodwill impairment within our International reporting unit, representing a full impairment of goodwill for that reporting unit. For the second and third quarters of 2022, we recognized long-lived asset impairment related to certain asset groups within our North America and International segments, which included impairment related to our 2020 Restructuring Plan. See details in the tables below and Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for more information.
In order to evaluate goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment in 2022, we compared the fair value of our two reporting units, North America and International, and our asset groups to their carrying values. In determining the fair values of our reporting units and asset groups, we used the discounted cash flow method under the income approach that uses Level 3 inputs.

Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 10 years. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $6.2 million and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our carrying value in other equity investments, which relates to our non-controlling interest in SumUp, a privately-held mobile payments company, was $93.7 million and $119.5 million and our available-for-sale securities and fair value option investments had a carrying value of zero.
Other equity investments represent equity investments without readily determinable fair values recorded at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments. During the third quarter 2023, we recorded a remeasurement of our investment in SumUp, resulting in a decline of $25.8 million based on a preliminary Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). This remeasurement represents non-cash investing activity. The loss was driven by a share price reduction on a Euro basis as well as foreign currency depreciation of US dollars versus Euros. The loss on the remeasurement is classified within Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. On October 6, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement agreeing to sell approximately 9.4% of our shares in SumUp. Subsequently in October, the overall transaction was finalized and we received cash of $8.8 million in connection with the sale. As a result of the transaction, our non-controlling equity interest in SumUp decreased from 2.29% to 2.08%.
There were no changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities and fair value option investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The following table summarizes our percentage ownership in our investments as of the dates noted below:

NOTE 5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026
The convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") bear interest at a rate of 1.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, with an annual effective interest rate of 1.83%. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, subject to earlier repurchase, redemption or conversion.
The carrying amount of the 2026 Notes consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

| September 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Principal amount | $ | 230,000 |  |  | $ | 230,000 |
Less: debt discount | (3,919) |  |  | (5,077) |
Net carrying amount of liability | $ | 226,081 |  |  | $ | 224,923 |

We classified the fair value of the 2026 Notes as a Level 3 measurement due to the lack of observable market data over fair value inputs such as our stock price volatility over the term of the 2026 Notes and our cost of debt. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $127.5 million and $133.1 million and was determined using a lattice model.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized interest costs on the 2026 Notes as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022

Total | $ | 1,035 |  |  | $ | 1,026 |  |  | $ | 3,099 |  |  | $ | 3,077 |

Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2026 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions. The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2026 Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $104.80 (which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 22, 2021), subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
Revolving Credit Agreement
In May 2019, we entered into a second amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, which matures on May 14, 2024, as amended from time to time (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). Most recently, in March 2023, we entered into a fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the "Fourth Amendment" and together with the Amended Credit Agreement the "Existing Credit Agreement") to modify certain financial covenants and provide for additional flexibility in our operations, among other changes, including certain modifications to (i) our requirements to maintain a monthly minimum liquidity balance (including any undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility) of at least $50.0 million, (ii) the calculation of EBITDA under the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) mandatory prepayment requirements and (iv) certain affirmative covenants. In addition, the Fourth Amendment reduced our borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to $75.0 million, which provides for the issuance of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit, provided that the sum of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit do not exceed the maximum funding commitment of $75.0 million.
We deferred debt issuance costs of $4.6 million in aggregate in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement. Deferred debt issuance costs are included within Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective agreement.
As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under our Existing Credit Agreement. Non-compliance with the covenants under the Existing Credit Agreement may result in termination of the commitments thereunder and then any outstanding borrowings may be declared due and payable immediately. We have the right to terminate the Existing Credit Agreement or reduce the available commitments at any time.
Amounts committed to outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under our Existing Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023 and our Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

| September 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Borrowings | $ | 46,700 |  |  | $ | 75,000 |
Letters of credit (1) | 25,914 |  |  | 24,900 |

(1) Under the Existing Credit Agreement, cash collateral is required when letters of credit extend beyond the maturity date of May 14, 2024. This cash is treated as restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4, Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations Information for additional information.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Our contractual obligations and commitments and future sublease income under our contractually obligated operating subleases as of September 30, 2023 and through the date of this report, did not materially change from the amounts set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We sublease a portion of 600 West Chicago to Uptake, Inc. ("Uptake"). In the first quarter of 2023, we initiated a lawsuit against Uptake in the Circuit Court of Cook County for breach of the lease agreement and that lawsuit remains pending.
Legal Matters and Other Contingencies
From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings incident to the operation of our business. For example, we currently are involved in proceedings brought by merchants, employment and related matters, intellectual property infringement suits, customer lawsuits, stockholder claims relating to U.S. securities law, consumer class actions and suits alleging, among other things, violations of state consumer protection or privacy laws.
On June 13, 2023, Groupon was granted final approval of a settlement that resolved four shareholder derivative lawsuits in relation to a previously settled lawsuit that alleged that Groupon and certain of its officers made materially false and/or misleading statements or omissions regarding its business, operations and prospects, specifically as it relates to reiterating its full year guidance on November 4, 2019 and the Groupon Select program. Under the settlement, Groupon agreed to undertake certain corporate reforms. The Court awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of $950,000 to Plaintiffs' counsel. That amount was covered under Groupon's insurance policies and was paid directly by Groupon's insurance carriers in July 2023.
In addition, third parties have from time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We are subject to intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement claims, and expect that we will continue to be subject to intellectual property infringement claims as our services expand in scope and complexity. In the past, we have litigated such claims, and we are presently involved in several patent infringement and other intellectual property-related claims, including pending litigation or trademark disputes relating to, for example, our Goods category, some of which could involve potentially substantial claims for damages or injunctive relief. We may also become more vulnerable to third-party claims as laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act are interpreted by the courts, and we become subject to laws in jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries are either unclear or less favorable. We believe that additional lawsuits alleging that we have violated patent, copyright or trademark laws may be filed against us. Intellectual property claims, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming and often costly to resolve, could require expensive changes in our methods of doing business or the goods we sell, or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements.
We also are subject to consumer claims or lawsuits relating to alleged violations of consumer protection or privacy rights and statutes, some of which could involve potentially substantial claims for damages, including statutory or punitive damages. Consumer and privacy-related claims or lawsuits, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, or require us to change our business practices, sometimes in expensive ways.
We are also subject to, or in the future may become subject to, a variety of regulatory inquiries, audits, and investigations across the jurisdictions where we conduct our business, including, for example, inquiries related to consumer protection, employment matters and/or hiring practices, marketing practices, tax, unclaimed property and privacy rules and regulations. Any regulatory actions against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require us to change our business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, materially damage our brand or reputation, or otherwise harm our business.

We establish an accrued liability for loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters when the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Those accruals represent management's best estimate of probable losses and, in such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. For certain of the matters described above, there are inherent and significant uncertainties based on, among other factors, the stage of the proceedings, developments in the applicable facts of law, or the lack of a specific damage claim. However, we believe that the amount of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued for those matters would not have a material adverse effect on our business, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, results of operations or cash flows. Our accrued liabilities for loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters may change in the future as a result of new developments, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of new legal matters, changes in the law or regulatory environment, adverse or favorable rulings, newly discovered facts relevant to the matter, or changes in the strategy for the matter. Regardless of the outcome, litigation and other regulatory matters can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Indemnifications
In connection with the disposition of our operations in Latin America in 2017, we recorded $5.4 million in indemnification liabilities for certain tax and other matters upon the closing of the transactions as an adjustment to the net loss on the dispositions within discontinued operations at their fair value. We estimated the indemnification liabilities using a probability-weighted expected cash flow approach. Our remaining indemnification liabilities were $2.8 million as of September 30, 2023. We estimate that the total amount of obligations that are reasonably possible to arise under the indemnifications in excess of amounts accrued as of September 30, 2023 is approximately $11.7 million.
In the normal course of business to facilitate transactions related to our operations, we indemnify certain parties, including employees, lessors, service providers, merchants and counterparties to investment agreements and asset and stock purchase agreements with respect to various matters. We have agreed to hold certain parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or other claims made against those parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. We are also subject to increased exposure to various claims as a result of our divestitures and acquisitions, particularly in cases where we are entering into new businesses in connection with such acquisitions. We may also become more vulnerable to claims as we expand the range and scope of our services and are subject to laws in jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to potential liability are either unclear or less favorable. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers, directors and underwriters, and our bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations that cover officers, directors, employees and other agents.
Except as noted above, it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, any payments that we have made under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
Groupon, Inc. Incentive Plan
In August 2011, we established the Groupon, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "2011 Plan"), under which options, restricted stock units and performance stock units for up to 13,775,000 shares of common stock are authorized for future issuance to employees, consultants and directors. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2023, 2,728,411 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
The restricted stock units granted under the 2011 Plan ("Restricted Stock Units") generally have vesting periods between one and four years and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their requisite service period.
The table below summarizes Restricted Stock Unit activity for employees and non-employees under the 2011 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

| Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)
Unvested at December 31, 2022 | 2,876,089 |  |  | $ | 19.33 |
Granted | 601,314 |  |  | 5.26 |
Vested | (1,342,961) |  |  | 19.32 |
Forfeited | (1,210,548) |  |  | 15.79 |
Unvested at September 30, 2023 | 923,894 |  |  | $ | 11.32 |

As of September 30, 2023, $6.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested Restricted Stock Units are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 0.85 years.
Stock Options
On March 30, 2023, we issued 3,500,000 units of stock options with a per share value of $0.95, a strike price of $6.00 and vesting over two years. The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The contractual term for these stock options expires three years from the grant date. The fair value of stock options on the grant date is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The fair value of stock options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on Groupon's historical volatility over the estimated expected life of the stock options. The expected term represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields on U.S. Treasury STRIPS with maturity similar to the estimated expected life of the stock options. The weighted-average assumptions for stock options granted are outlined in the following table:

Dividend yield | 0.0 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 4.1 | %
Expected term (in years) | 2
Expected volatility | 78.2 | %

As of September 30, 2023, there was $2.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options granted under the 2011 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.8 million.
Performance Shares Units
We have previously granted performance share units under the 2011 Plan that vest in shares of our common stock upon the achievement of financial and operational targets specified in the respective award agreement ("Performance Share Units"). Our existing Performance Share Units are subject to continued service through the period dictated by the award and certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board that the specified performance conditions have been achieved.
The table below summarizes Performance Share Unit activity under the 2011 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

NOTE 8. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Refer to Note 13, Segment Information, for revenue summarized by reportable segment and category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Customer Credits
We issue credits to customers that can be applied to future purchases through our online marketplaces. Credits are primarily issued as consideration for refunds and, to a lesser extent, for customer relationship purposes. The following table summarizes the activity in the liability for customer credits for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

| Customer Credits
Balance as of December 31, 2022 | $ | 36,220 |
Credits issued | 62,685 |
Credits redeemed (1) | (65,944) |
Breakage revenue recognized | (7,680) |
Foreign currency translation | (35) |
Balance as of September 30, 2023 | $ | 25,246 |

(1)Customer credits can be redeemed through our online marketplaces for goods or services provided by a third-party merchant and service revenue is recognized on a net basis as the difference between the carrying amount of the customer credit liability derecognized and the amount due to the merchant for the related transaction. Customer credits are typically used within one year of issuance.
Costs of Obtaining Contracts
Incremental costs to obtain contracts with third-party merchants, such as sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the expected period of the merchant arrangement, generall y from 12 to 18 months. De ferred contract acquisition costs are presented in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, deferred contract acquisition costs were $4.0 million and $5.9 million.
The amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is classified within Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We amortized $1.8 million and $2.7 million of deferred contract acquisition costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and $6.2 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily represents the net cash due from credit card and other payment processors and from merchants and performance marketing networks for commissions earned on consumer purchases. We establish an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable based on identifying the following customer risk characteristics: size, type of customer and payment terms offered in the normal course of business. Receivables with similar risk characteristics are grouped into pools. For each pool, we consider the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, bankruptcy filings, published or estimated credit default rates, age of the receivable and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses.

Variable Consideration for Unredeemed Vouchers
For merchant agreements with redemption payment terms, the merchant is not paid its share of the sale price for a voucher sold through one of our online marketplaces until the customer redeems the related voucher. If the customer does not redeem a voucher with such merchant payment terms, we retain all of the gross billings for that voucher, rather than retaining only our net commission. We estimate the variable consideration from vouchers that will not ultimately be redeemed using our historical voucher redemption experience and recognize that amount as revenue at the time of sale. We apply a constraint to ensure it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in future periods. We recognized variable consideration from unredeemed vouchers that were sold in a prior period of $5.2 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and $6.2 million and $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. When actual redemptions differ from our estimates, the effects could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 9. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
In August 2022 and April 2020, we initiated Board-approved restructuring plans. Costs incurred related to the restructuring plans are classified as Restructuring and related charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring activities are summarized by plan in the sections below.
2022 Restructuring Plan
In August 2022, we initiated a multi-phase cost savings plan designed to reduce our expense structure to align with our go-forward business and financial objectives (the "2022 Cost Savings Plan"). The 2022 Cost Savings Plan included a restructuring plan, approved by our Board on August 5, 2022 (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”). The 2022 Restructuring Plan, including the first phase initiated August 2022, second phase initiated January 2023 and the third phase initiated July 2023 is expected to include an overall reduction of approximately 1,150 positions globally, with the majority of these reductions completed as of March 31, 2023 and the remainder expected to occur by the end of 2024. In connection with these actions, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of $23.6 million to $30.6 million. A majority of the pre-tax charges are expected to be paid in cash and relate to employee severance and compensation benefits, with an immaterial amount of charges related to other exit costs. We have incurred total pre-tax charges of $20.5 million since the inception of the 2022 Restructuring Plan.

2020 Restructuring Plan
In April 2020, the Board approved a multi-phase restructuring plan related to our previously-announced strategic shift and as part of the cost cutting measures implemented in response to the impact of COVID-19 on our business (the "2020 Restructuring Plan"). We have incurred total pretax charges of $108.9 million since the inception of the 2020 Restructuring Plan. Our actions under this plan were substantially completed by December 31, 2021, and our current and future charges or credits will be from changes in estimates. Our 2020 Restructuring Plan included workforce reductions of approximately 1,600 positions globally, the exit or discontinuation of the use

of certain leases and other assets, impairments of our right-of-use and other long-lived assets and the exit of our operations in New Zealand and Japan.

As a part of our 2020 Restructuring Plan, we terminated or modified several of our leases. In other cases, we vacated our leased facilities, and some of those facilities are being actively marketed for sublease or we are in negotiations with the landlord to potentially terminate or modify those leases. We recognized impairment related to those leases of $1.8 million and $2.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, for additional information. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a gain of $4.5 million for one of our previously impaired leases in our North America segment due to our reassessment of our 600 West Chicago lease given our option to early terminate. In January 2023, we exercised our option to early terminate our lease at 600 West Chicago, now expiring on January 31, 2024, which required us to pay a penalty of $9.6 million with our early termination notice. Prior to exercising our option to early terminate, the expiration of 600 West Chicago was January 31, 2026. Rent expense, including amortization of the right-of-use asset and accretion of the operating lease liability, sublease income, termination and modification gains and losses, and other variable lease costs related to the leased facilities vacated as part of our restructuring plan are presented within Restructuring and related charges in the

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The current and non-current liabilities associated with these leases continue to be presented within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Operating lease obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)Substantially all of the remaining cash payments for the 2020 Restructuring Plan costs are expected to be disbursed by the end of 2023.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes and Income (loss) from operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | 817 |  |  | $ | (4,328) |  |  | $ | 4,258 |  |  | $ | (4,605) |
Income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | (39,989) |  |  | $ | (59,871) |  |  | $ | (77,165) |  |  | $ | (184,750) |

Our U.S. Federal income tax rate is 21%. The primary factor impacting the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was the pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we were also impacted by the reduction to our estimated annual tax rate due to an increase in expected annual losses. As of September 30, 2022, we had a valuation allowance in the U.S. against capital losses, deferred tax assets that will convert into capital losses upon reversal, and state credits that we were not expecting to be able to realize. We recorded a valuation allowance against the remaining U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in Q4 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses.
We are currently undergoing income tax audits in multiple jurisdictions. It is likely that the examination phase of some of those audits will conclude in the next 12 months. There are many factors, including factors outside of our control, which influence the progress and completion of those audits. We are subject to claims for tax assessments by foreign jurisdictions, including a proposed assess ment for $115.7 million, inclusive of estimated incremental interest from the original assessment. We believe that the assessment, which primarily relates to transfer pricing on transactions occurring in 2011, is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in that matter. There could be potential increases in our liabilities for uncertain tax positions from the ultimate resolution of that assessment. We believe it is reasonably possible that reductions of up to $7.5 million in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the 12 months following September 30, 2023 upon closing of income tax audits or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.
In general, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations or remit such earnings in a tax-efficient manner. An actual repatriation from our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be subject to foreign and U.S. state income taxes. Aside from limited exceptions for which the related deferred tax liabilities recognized as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are immaterial, we do not intend to distribute earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which we have an excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our investments and therefore have not recorded any deferred taxes related to such amounts. The actual tax cost resulting from a distribution would depend on income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis of our foreign subsidiaries is not practical due to the complexities associated with the calculation.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
In determining fair value, we use valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. We have fair value option investments and available-for-sale securities that we measure using the income approach. We have classified these investments as Level 3 due to the lack of observable market data over fair value inputs such as cash flow projections and discount rates.
There was no material activity in the fair value of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including assets that are written down to fair value as a result of an impairment or modified due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction.
We recognized a non-cash remeasurement of our investment in SumUp of $25.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 3, Investments, for additional information.
We recognized $35.4 million in non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We also recognized $1.8 million and $11.8 million in non-cash impairment charges related to long-lived assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of which $1.8 million and $2.9 million was included in Restructuring and related charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets and Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for additional information.
We did not record any other significant nonrecurring fair value measurements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Our financial instruments not carried at fair value consist primarily of accounts receivable, restricted cash, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued merchant and supplier payables and accrued expenses. The carrying values of those assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their short-term nature.
NOTE 12. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially

dilutive securities include stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units, ESPP shares, capped call transactions and convertible senior notes. If dilutive, those potentially dilutive securities are reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share using the treasury stock method, except for the convertible senior notes, which are subject to the if-converted method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except share amounts and per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: | $ | (1.31) |  |  | $ | (1.86) |  |  | $ | (2.68) |  |  | $ | (6.06) |

The following weighted-average potentially dilutive instruments are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculations above because they would have had an antidilutive effect on the net income (loss) per share:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total | 11,178,885 |  |  | 9,071,316 |  |  | 10,766,151 |  |  | 9,303,554 |

(1)We had outstanding performance share units as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 that were eligible to vest into shares of common stock subject to the achievement of specified performance or market conditions. Contingently-issuable shares are excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per share if, based on current period results, the shares would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. As of September 30, 2023, there were up to 724,487 shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding Performance Share Units that were excluded from the table above as the performance conditions were not satisfied as of the end of the period.
(2)We apply the if-converted method in computing the effect of our convertible senior notes on diluted net income (loss) per share, whereby the numerator of our diluted net income (loss) per share computations is adjusted for interest expense, net of tax, and the denominator is adjusted for the number of shares into which the convertible senior notes could be converted. The effect is only included in the calculation of income (loss) per share for those instruments for which it would reduce income (loss) per share. See Note 5, Financing Arrangements, for additional information.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The segment information reported in the tables below reflects the operating results that are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Our operations are organized into two segments: North America and International. Our measure of segment profitability is contribution profit, defined as gross profit less marketing expense, which is consistent with how management reviews the operating results of the segments. Contribution profit measures the amount of marketing investment needed to generate gross profit. Other operating expenses are excluded from contribution profit as management does not review those expenses by segment.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Rights Offering
On November 7, 2023, the Board approved an $80.0 million fully backstopped rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to our stockholders of record of our common stock, as of the close of business on November 20, 2023. To be able to execute the Rights Offering, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended. On November 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its Existing Credit Agreement to provide for additional flexibility with regards to the Rights Offering. Specifically, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Existing Credit Agreement. The Amendment effects certain modifications to the definition of the term “Change in Control” contained in the Existing Credit Agreement and adds the term “Disqualified Equity Interest” to the Existing Credit Agreement, among other changes. In addition, the Amendment modifies the restricted payment covenant to permit the Company to declare and pay dividends with respect to its Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) payable solely in additional shares of its Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests).
The Rights Offering will be made through the distribution of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $11.30 per share and otherwise on such terms and subject to such conditions as may be required to comply with any applicable Nasdaq Global Market stock exchange rules and regulations. The Rights Offering is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 17, 2024 (such date, as amended or modified, the "Expiration Date"), though we reserve the right to extend, amend or terminate the planned Rights Offering, subject to certain conditions, at any time. We expect to receive gross proceeds of $80.0 million before expenses related to the Rights Offering.
The Rights Offering is fully backstopped by Pale Fire Capital SICAV a.s. (the “Backstop Party”), an entity affiliated with (i) Dusan Senkypl, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, and (ii) Jan Barta, a member of the Board. The Backstop Party has a binding commitment to (i) fully exercise its pro rata subscription right prior to the Expiration Date of the Rights Offering and (ii) fully purchase any and all unsubscribed shares in the Rights Offering following the Expiration Date at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as other participants in the Rights Offering.
SumUp Sale
On November 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to sell shares representing approximately 11.7% of its approximate 2.08% interest in SumUp to other investors in SumUp for an aggregate cash purchase price of €9.4 million (the “Purchase Agreement”) which, will be worth approximately $10 million as of the date of this filing. The Purchase Agreement was entered into in connection with a transaction in which several other investors in SumUp also agreed to sell shares on the same economic terms as the Company and at the same price as agreed to on October 6, 2023.
The Company expects the transaction to be completed on or before November 27, 2023. There can be no assurances as to whether or when the sale will be consummated.

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 together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of many factors, including those we describe under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. See Part I, Forward-Looking Statements, for additional information.
Overview
Groupon is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants. Consumers access our marketplace through our mobile applications and our websites. We operate in two segments, North America and International, and operate in three categories, Local, Goods and Travel. See Item 1, Note 13, Segment Information, for additional information.
Our strategy is to be the trusted marketplace where customers go to buy local services and experiences. We plan to grow our revenue by building long-term relationships with local merchants to strengthen our inventory selection and by enhancing the customer experience through inventory curation and improved convenience in order to drive customer demand and purchase frequency.
We generate service revenue from Local, Goods and Travel categories. Revenue primarily represents the net commissions earned from selling goods or services on behalf of third-party merchants. Revenue is reported on a net basis as the purchase price collected from the customer less the portion of the purchase price that is payable to the third-party merchant. We also earn commissions when customers make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites and mobile applications.
2022 Cost Savings Plan
In August 2022, we initiated the 2022 Cost Savings Plan, including the first phase initiated August 2022, the second January 2023 and the third July 2023, which is designed to reduce our expense structure and align with our go-forward business and financial objectives. The 2022 Cost Savings Plan included the 2022 Restructuring Plan, as well as other planned savings to be achieved through other actions, such as future reductions in our facilities footprint at natural lease terminations (or by exercising existing options in leases), renegotiating contractual arrangements with certain service providers and continuing to make elective decisions to eliminate vacant positions rather than rehire. The 2022 Restructuring Plan is expected to include an overall reduction of approximately 1,150 positions globally, with the majority of these reductions completed as of March 31, 2023 and the remainder expected to occur by the end of 2024. In connection with these actions, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of $23.6 million to $30.6 million. A majority of the pre-tax charges are expected to be paid in cash and relate to employee severance and compensation benefits, with an immaterial amount of charges related to other exit costs. We have incurred total pretax charges of $20.5 million since the inception of the 2022 Restructuring Plan. See Item 1, Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for additional information.

How We Measure Our Business
We use several operating and financial metrics to assess the progress of our business and make decisions on where to allocate capital, time and technology investments. Certain of the financial metrics are reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and certain of those metrics are considered non-GAAP financial measures. As our business evolves, we may make changes to the key financial and operating metrics that we use to measure our business. For further information and reconciliations to the most applicable financial measures under U.S. GAAP, refer to our discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Results of Operations section.
Operating Metrics
•Gross billings is the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services. Gross billings is presented net of customer refunds, order discounts and sales and related taxes. The substantial majority of our revenue transactions are comprised of sales of vouchers and similar transactions in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion of the transaction price to the third-party merchant who will provide the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differs from Revenue reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price. Gross billings is an indicator of our growth and business performance as it measures the dollar volume of transactions generated through our marketplaces. Tracking gross billings also allows us to monitor the percentage of gross billings that we are able to retain after payments to merchants. However, we are focused on achieving long-term gross profit and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") growth.
•Units are the number of purchases during the reporting period, before refunds and cancellations, made either through one of our online marketplaces, a third-party marketplace, or directly with a merchant for which we earn a commission. We do not include purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites or mobile applications in our units metric. We consider units to be an important indicator of the total volume of business conducted through our marketplaces. We report units on a gross basis prior to the consideration of customer refunds and therefore units are not always a good proxy for gross billings.
•Active customers are unique user accounts that have made a purchase during the trailing twelve months ("TTM") either through one of our online marketplaces or directly with a merchant for which we earned a commission. We consider this metric to be an important indicator of our business performance as it helps us to understand how the number of customers actively purchasing our offerings is trending. Some customers could establish and make purchases from more than one account, so it is possible that our active customer metric may count certain customers more than once in a given period. We do not include consumers who solely make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites or mobile applications in our active customer metric, nor do we include consumers who solely make purchases of our inventory through third-party marketplaces with which we partner.
Our gross billings and units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022

Financial Metrics
•Revenue is earned through transactions on which we generate commissions by selling goods or services on behalf of third-party merchants. Revenue from those transactions is reported on a net basis as the purchase price collected from the customer for the offering less an agreed upon portion of the purchase price paid to the third-party merchant. Revenue also includes commissions we earn when customers make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our digital properties.
•Gross profit reflects the net margin we earn after deducting our Cost of revenue from our Revenue.
•Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Net income (loss) from operations excluding income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and other special charges and credits, including items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. For further information and a reconciliation to Net income (loss), refer to our discussion under Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Results of Operations section.
•Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from operations less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. For further information and a reconciliation to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, refer to our discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
The following table presents the above financial metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Revenue | $ | 126,474 |  |  | $ | 144,390 |  |  | $ | 377,194 |  |  | $ | 450,926 |
Gross profit | 110,678 |  |  | 125,722 |  |  | 328,354 |  |  | 393,695 |
Adjusted EBITDA | 18,221 |  |  | (8,596) |  |  | 28,515 |  |  | (9,828) |
Free cash flow | (17,975) |  |  | (51,840) |  |  | (148,402) |  |  | (182,345) |

Operating Expenses
•Marketing expense consists primarily of online marketing costs, such as search engine marketing and advertising on social networking sites and affiliate programs. Additionally, compensation expense for marketing employees is classified within marketing expense. We record these costs within Marketing on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred. From time to time, we have offerings from well-known national merchants for customer acquisition and activation purposes, for which the amount we owe the merchant for each voucher sold exceeds the transaction price paid by the customer. Our gross billings from those transactions generate no revenue and our net cost (i.e., the excess of the amount owed to the merchant over the amount paid by the customer) is classified as marketing expense. We evaluate marketing expense as a percentage of gross profit because it gives us an indication of how well our marketing spend is driving gross profit performance.
•Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include selling expenses such as sales commissions and other compensation expenses for sales representatives, as well as costs associated with supporting the sales function such as technology, telecommunications and travel. General and administrative expenses include compensation expense for employees involved in customer service, operations, technology and product development, as well as general corporate functions, such as finance, legal and human resources. Additional costs in general and administrative include depreciation and amortization, rent, professional fees, litigation costs, travel and entertainment, recruiting, maintenance, certain technology costs and other general corporate costs. We evaluate SG&A expense as a percentage of gross profit because it gives us an indication of our operating efficiency.
•Restructuring and related charges represent severance and benefit costs for workforce reductions, impairments and other facilities-related costs and professional advisory fees. See Item 1, Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges, for additional information about our restructuring plan.
31

Factors Affecting Our Performance
Attracting and retaining local merchants. As we focus on our local experiences marketplace, we depend on our ability to attract and retain merchants who are willing to offer their experiences on our platform. Merchants can withdraw their offerings from our marketplace at any time, and their willingness to continue offering services through our marketplace depends on the effectiveness of our marketplace offering. We are focused on improving our marketplace offering and merchant value proposition by exploring opportunities to better balance the needs of merchant partners, customers and Groupon, for example, by offering flexible deal structures.
Acquiring and retaining customers. To acquire and retain customers to drive higher volumes on our platform from new and existing customers, we are focused on strengthening our product offering, improving the attractiveness of our offerings, and rebuilding our performance marketing campaigns.
Impact of macroeconomic conditions. We have been, and may continue to be, impacted by adverse consequences of the macroeconomic environment, including but not limited to, inflationary pressures, higher labor costs, labor shortages, supply chain challenges and resulting changes in consumer and merchant behavior. We will continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions on our business.

North America gross billings increased by $0.6 million while units and TTM active customers decreased by 1.0 million and 1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the prior year period. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decline in demand for our Goods and Local categories and an overall decline in engagement on our platform that resulted in fewer unit sales, offset by favorable refund rates for our Local category.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
North America gross billings and u nits decreased by $84.6 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the prior year period. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decline in demand for our Goods and Local categories and an overall decline in engagement on our platform that resulted in fewer unit sales and lower gross billings.

| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | % Change

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were impacted by pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were also impacted by the reduction to our estimated annual tax rate due to an increase in expected annual losses. As of September 30, 2022, we had a valuation allowance in the U.S. against capital losses, deferred tax assets that will convert into capital losses upon reversal, and state credits that we were not expecting to be able to realize. We recorded a valuation allowance against the remaining U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in Q4 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the U.S. federal income tax rate as a result of our tax obligations in jurisdictions with profits and valuation allowances in jurisdictions with losses. See Item 1, Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information relating to tax audits and assessments and regulatory and legal developments that may impact our business and results of operations in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results. Those non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding our current financial performance and prospects for the future as seen through the eyes of management. We believe that those non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons with our historical results and with the results of peer companies who present similar measures (although other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we define them, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures). However, those non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we define as Net income (loss) excluding income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and other special charges and credits, including items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions for the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for Net income (loss).
We exclude stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization because they are primarily non-cash in nature and we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding those items provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, special charges and credits included charges related to our 2022 and 2020 Restructuring Plans and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. We exclude special charges and credits from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that excluding those items provides meaningful supplemental information about our core operating performance and facilitates comparisons with our historical results.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, Net income (loss), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that comprises net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business because we believe that it typically represents a more useful measure of cash flows because purchases of fixed assets, software developed for internal use and website development costs are necessary components of our ongoing operations. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the applicable period.
Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow reflects the impact of the timing difference between when we are paid by customers and when we pay merchants and suppliers. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results. Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results show current period operating results as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained the same as those in effect in the prior year period. Those measures are intended to facilitate comparisons to our historical performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash balance, which includes outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement, See Item 1, Note 5, Financing Arrangements for additional information, totaling $86.1 million as of September 30, 2023.
Our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Our free cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, for those periods were as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (13,855) |  |  | $ | (43,494) |  |  | $ | (132,485) |  |  | $ | (151,850) |

Our revenue-generating transactions are primarily structured such that we collect cash up-front from customers and pay third-party merchants at a later date, either based upon the customer's redemption of the related voucher or fixed payment terms, which are generally biweekly throughout the term of the merchant's offering.
Our cash balances fluctuate significantly throughout the year based on many variables, including changes in gross billings, the timing of payments to merchants and suppliers and the mix of transactions between Goods and Local.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities was $132.5 million as compared with the prior year period of $151.9 million. The cash outflow in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is slightly improved compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by our cost cutting measures, offset by a one-time $9.6 million payment to early terminate our lease at 600 West Chicago.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net cash used in investing activities was $17.0 million as compared with the prior year per io d of $32.6 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by fewer purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our n et cash used in financing activities was $31.0 million as compared with the prior year period of net cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by $50.0 million in proceeds and $40.0 million in payments of
42

borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $28.3 million in payments during the current year period.
In March 2023, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which reduced borrowing capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to $75.0 million. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, we repaid $27.3 million of outstanding borrowings. Prior to entering into the Fourth Amendment, our access to the full capacity of our Amended Credit Agreement was partially restricted and our liquidity impacted accordingly. There are no assurances that we will be able to continue to have access to the full capacity of our Existing Credit Agreement and our liquidity could be impacted accordingly. See Item 1, Note 5, Financing Arrangements for additional information. Any material increase in receivable holdbacks or reserve requirements could have a material impact on our cash flow and available liquidity.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. ASC 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, requires management to assess the reporting entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In accordance with this guidance, we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.
Our net cash used in operating activities was $136.0 million and $124.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $132.5 million and $151.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $86.1 million as of September 30, 2023. As described above, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the revolving credit agreement in March 2023, which matures on May 14, 2024. The maturing credit facility together with cash outflows and operating losses indicate that we may not be able to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. These conditions and events, when considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are currently executing plans intended to enhance our liquidity position. These plans include, but are not limited to, completing the fully backstopped rights offering described in Note 14, Subsequent Events and monetizing certain non-core assets. In October 2023, we sold a portion of our non-controlling interest in SumUp for $8.8 million as described in Note 3, Investments. We continue to consider other options to improve our liquidity, such as pursuing additional financing from both the public and private markets and monetization of certain non-core assets, including the remainder of our investment in SumUp.. In addition, we expect to pursue additional cost savings initiatives under our 2022 Cost Savings Plan (as defined in Item 1, Note 9, Restructuring and Related Charges), such as, but not limited to, additional restructuring actions, renegotiating contractual arrangements with certain service providers and continuing to make elective decisions to eliminate vacant positions rather than rehire. Management will also take steps designed to minimize the risk certain payment processors will require reserves or holdback receivables. While management intends to improve our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations through the plans described above, with the exception of the completed sale of a portion of our SumUp investment, those plans are subject to market or other conditions not within our control. Accordin gly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $27.0 million in cash held by our international subsidiaries, which is primarily denominated in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars, Indian Rupees, Polish Zloty, Swiss Franc, and, to a lesser extent, Australian dollars. In general, it is our practice and intention to re-invest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations or remit such earnings in a tax-efficient manner. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business.
43

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2023, did not materially change from the amounts set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, refer to the critical accounting estimates under Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There are no accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, interest rate changes and inflation. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We transact business in various foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian dollar, Indian Rupee, Polish Zloty, Swiss Franc, and, to a lessor extent, Australian dollar, which exposes us to foreign currency risk. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we derived approxim ately 24.9% and 25.8% of our revenue from our International segment. Revenue and related expenses generated from our international operations are generally denominated in the local currencies of the corresponding countries. The functional currencies of our subsidiaries that either operate or support these markets are generally the same as the corresponding local currencies. However, the results of operations of, and certain of our intercompany balances associated with, our international operations are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Upon consolidation, as exchange rates vary, our revenue and other operating results may differ materially from expectations, and we may record significant gains or losses on the re-measurement of intercompany balances.
We assess our foreign currency exchange risk based on hypothetical changes in rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on working capital based on a 10% change (increase and decrease) in currency rates. We use a current market pricing model to assess the changes in the value of the U.S. dollar on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The primary assumption used in this model is a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against those currency exposures as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, our net working capital deficit (defined as current assets less current liabilities) from subsidiaries that are subject to foreign currency translation risk was $29.6 million. The potential increase in this working capital deficit from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be $3.0 million. This compares with a $111.9 million working capital deficit subject to foreign currency exposure as of December 31, 2022, for which a 10% adverse change would have resulted in a potential increase in this working capital deficit of $11.2 million.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash balance as of September 30, 2023, consists of bank deposits so exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is limited. The 2026 Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million and bear interest at a fixed rate, so we have no financial statement impact from changes in interest rates. However, changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of the 2026 Notes along with other variables such as our credit spreads and the market price and volatility of our common stock. Our Existing Credit Agreement provides for aggregate principal borrowings of up to $75.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had $46.7 million of borrowings outstanding and $25.9 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement. See Part I.
Item 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional information. Because borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate, we are exposed to market risk relating to changes in interest rates if we borrow under the Existing Credit Agreement. We have $14.3 million of lease obligations as of September 30, 2023. Interest rates on existing leases typically do not change unless there is a modification to a lease agreement and as such, we do not believe that the interest rate risk on the lease obligations is significant.
46

Inflation Risk
In light of the current inflationary environment, our business is being affected by changes to our merchants' and customers' discretionary spend. We expect such discretionary spend limitations to continue, and if we do not see increased overall demand for discounted goods and services to help offset these limitations on individual merchants and customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, increased inflation could negatively impact our business by driving up our operating costs. Our costs are subject to inflationary pressures, and if those pressures become significant, we may not be able to offset such higher costs through price increases or other cost efficiency measures. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
47

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation and because of the previously-reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.
Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Remediation Plan and Status
As of September 30, 2023, the material weakness previously disclosed has not yet been fully remediated. In response to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, management has designed and implemented control activities related to complex manual calculations used to record certain month-end balances. We will continue to work towards full remediation of this material weakness to improve our internal control over financial reporting.
The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weakness described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the material weakness remediation efforts underway, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, except as supplemented and updated below:
Summary Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Capital Structure
• Our access to capital may be limited and our ability and efforts to successfully manage and raise capital in the future may fail, including the rights offering transaction approved by Groupon’s Board of Directors and announced on November 9, 2023, as there is no assurance that the transaction may be consummated, which could prevent us from growing, adversely impact our liquidity and our existing credit agreement could restrict our business activities.
• Our financial statements contain a statement regarding a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
• We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2026 Notes in cash, to repurchase the 2026 Notes upon a fundamental change or to repay the 2026 Notes in cash at their maturity (if not earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased), and our current and future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversions of the 2026 Notes or at their maturity or to repurchase the 2026 Notes.
• The terms of the 2026 Notes could delay or prevent an attempt to take over our Company.
• The conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
Our financial statements contain a statement regarding a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued and based on an evaluation of the conditions described in Item 7, Liquidity and Capital Resources, such conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our net cash used in operating activities was $136.0 million and $124.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $132.5 million and $151.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $86.1 million as of September 30, 2023. We entered into a fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement in March 2023, which reduced our borrowing capacity and modified certain financial covenants as described in Note 5, Financing Arrangements. The fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement matures on May 14, 2024. The maturing credit facility together with cash outflows and operating losses indicate that we may not be able to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. These conditions and events, when considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We also have announced or are currently evaluating several different strategies to enhance our liquidity position, including a rights offering transaction approved by Groupon’s Board of Directors and announced on November 9, 2023. There is no assurance this transaction will be consummated or that we will be successful in raising the full amount of proceeds sought in the transaction. Other strategies may include, but are not limited to, pursuing additional actions under our multi-phase cost-savings plan, seeking other forms or methods of financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity or debt securities, and monetizing certain assets.
50

The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may affect the price of our common stock, may impact our relationship with third parties with whom we do business, including our customers, vendors, lenders and employees, may impact our ability to raise additional capital and may impact our ability to comply going forward with covenants in our debt agreements.
The actions we have taken and plan to take in the future to reduce operating costs, including as part of our 2022 Restructuring Plan, may negatively affect our brand reputation, ability to attract and retain employees, and our reputation and performance may suffer as a result
51

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we did not issue any unregistered equity securities.
