Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 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 14, Segment Information, for more information. Unaudited Interim Financial Information We have prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the 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 the 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, 2024. In connection with the dispositions of our operations in Latin America in 2017, we recorded indemnification liabilities for certain tax assessments and other matters which were presented in income (loss) from discontinued operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an additional accrual related to one of the assessments under the indemnification which is presented in income (loss) from discontinued operations. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information. 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 six months ended June 30, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation, including additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and provide enhanced disclosures related to income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements on either a prospective or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is assessing the effect this guidance may have on our disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect this guidance may have on our disclosures.
