Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Chegg, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Our results of operations, results of comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. We have a single operating and reportable segment and operating unit structure. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed with the SEC. Except for the following change to our policy on revenue recognition and deferred revenue, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our policy on revenue recognition and deferred revenue has been updated to address the revenue recognition of content licensing. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Revenues from content licensing are recognized upon fulfillment. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current business conditions, and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes in our use of estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the use of estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 8 “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation In order to conform with current period presentation, $1.0 million of deferred tax assets have been reclassified from deferred tax assets to other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. This change in presentation does not affect previously reported results. Leases As of March 31, 2025, we had an additional operating lease commitment of approximately $1.3 million for an office lease that has not yet commenced. This operating lease has a term of two years and is expected to commence during 2025. As such, we have not recorded the corresponding right of use asset or operating lease liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
