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, net of tax. During the nine months ended September 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, net of tax. 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 credits, 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, 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.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provides an optional practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current trade receivables and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and does not expect adoption to have a material effect.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to project stages in ASC Subtopic 350-40, clarifies the threshold to begin capitalizing costs and specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC Subtopic 360-10 apply to all capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC Subtopic 350-40. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS
On April 10, 2025, the Company completed the sale of Giftcloud. Giftcloud was a non-core, UK-based business specializing in digitizing traditional plastic gift cards through an online platform and smartphone application. The Company sold 100% of Giftcloud shares in exchange for cash consideration of $17.1 million. The net proceeds received in the second quarter equate to $14.0 million, as the agreement included a holdback amount, subject to final adjustments. The remaining cash consideration of $1.0 million was received in July 2025. The related cash activity is presented within Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
We recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $10.7 million that is presented within Gain on sale of business on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The gain represents the excess of the net proceeds over the carrying value of the net assets sold and immaterial transaction costs.
The financial results of Giftcloud are presented within our International segment within Income (loss) from continuing operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through the disposition date. Those financial results were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(2) Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is due to the exchange of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes and issuance of the 2030 Notes on July 2, 2025. See Note 6, Financing Arrangements, for additional information.
NOTE 6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2025, the Company has the following material financing arrangements outstanding: the 2030 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2026 Notes, capped call transactions and letters of credit pursuant to the Cash Collateral Agreement.
On July 2, 2025, the Company issued $244.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 2030 Notes, consisting of (i) $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes issued in exchange for $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes, and (ii) $224.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes issued in exchange for $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2027 Notes, with 2030 Notes Offering Participants.
We assessed whether the exchange of $20.0 million of the 2026 Notes and $150.0 million of the 2027 Notes resulted in a modification or an extinguishment of the existing debt for each loan in the syndication on a lender-by-lender basis. The exchanged amount of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes is a non-cash financing activity. The Company determined that the exchanged portion of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes were extinguished and new debt pertaining to the 2030 Notes was obtained, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $99.9 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt, which is included in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, consists of the difference between the fair value of the 2030 Notes at issuance and the net carrying amount of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes exchanged. The net carrying amount of the portion of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes that was extinguished was determined on a pro rata basis.
On July 2, 2025, the Company entered into the Supplemental Indenture, by and among itself, the guarantors signatory thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and as collateral agent. The Supplemental Indenture deletes in their entirety substantially all of the negative covenants and related provisions from the 2027 Notes Indenture, and releases all of the liens on the collateral securing the obligations under the 2027 Notes.
Convertible Senior Notes due 2030
On July 2, 2025, the Company issued $244.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing December 30, 2025. The 2030 Notes will mature on June 30, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Notes is 18.503 shares of Company Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $54.04 per share, subject to customary adjustments. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the 2030 Notes Indenture, or if we exercise the optional redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2030 Notes in connection with such a make-whole fundamental change or redemption.
In no event will the conversion rate be increased to exceed 27.7546 shares of the Company’s Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes, subject to adjustments.
The Company has the conditional right to redeem the notes for cash on or after July 2, 2028. The redemption price will be 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. No sinking fund is provided for the 2030 Notes. The Company has the right to repurchase notes in the open market or through other means, without the consent of holders and without prior notice.
The 2030 Notes are convertible into Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election. Subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2030 Notes may convert all or any portion of their 2030 Notes at their option at any time on or after March 31, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. In addition, if specified events occur in a calendar quarter prior to December 15, 2026, the holders may elect to convert on an effective date of such event. Based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $23.35 as of September 30, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2030 Notes was less than the principal amount.
Pursuant to the 2030 Notes Indenture, the Company is entitled to not effect any conversion that will result in any holder thereof, together with any Attribution Parties, beneficially owning more than 4.9% of the Company's Common Stock (the “Exchange Cap”), after giving effect to such conversion. The Company’s obligation to deliver
any shares of Common Stock that will result in any holder thereof to exceed the Exchange Cap (the “Excess Shares”) is not extinguished and is suspended until such holder advises the Company in writing that it may receive the Excess Shares without exceeding the Exchange Cap.
Certain conditions apply to the conversion by holders and redemption by us of the 2030 Notes. In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the 2030 Notes Indenture, prior to the maturity date, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the 2030 Notes for cash.
The 2030 Notes Indenture contains customary provisions relating to events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the 2030 Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable. In the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, the principal amount of the 2030 Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest would automatically become immediately due and payable. The 2030 Notes will be considered in default if there is a default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $75.0 million.
We account for the 2030 Notes as a liability in its entirety measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of the 2030 Notes was determined by deducting third party transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes of $2.3 million from the 2030 Notes fair value of $267.7 million at issuance. The transaction costs were recorded as a debt issuance cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as interest expense and presented in Other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The 2030 Notes were issued at a premium of $23.6 million. The premium, which represents the excess fair value over the principal amount, is amortized over the term of the 2030 Notes as a reduction of interest expense and presented in Other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Together with the cash interest, the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt premium result in an effective interest rate of 2.99% over the term of the 2030 Notes. We have presented the 2030 Notes in Non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The carrying amount of the 2030 Notes consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| September 30, 2025 |
Principal amount | $ | 244,071 | |
Plus: Unamortized debt premium | 22,522 | |
Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs | (2,182) | |
| Total | $ | 264,411 | |
We classified the fair value of the 2030 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 2030 Notes and our cost of debt. The estimated fair value of the 2030 Notes as of September 30, 2025 was $233.0 million and was determined using a lattice model.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized interest costs on the 2030 Notes as follows (in thousands):

Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027
In November 2024, the Company issued $197.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to the 2027 Notes Offering Participants in a private offering. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. After the exchange on July 2, 2025, the annual effective interest rate is 7.27%. The 2027 Notes will mature on March 15, 2027, subject to earlier repurchase or conversion.
The initial conversion rate of the 2027 Notes is 33.333 shares of Common Stock, which is the equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30 per share, subject to customary adjustments. The 2027 Notes are convertible into Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company's election. As a result of entering into the Supplemental Indenture, the Company has been released of its obligation to pay additional interest of 2.5% per annum of the 2027 Notes in the event that it failed to sell or pledge certain of its assets as part of the collateral for the 2027 Notes. Upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2027 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. The 2027 Notes will be considered in default if there is a default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $35.0 million.
Following the issuance of the 2030 Notes and partial exchange of the 2027 Notes in July 2025, the remaining outstanding principal of the 2027 Notes was $47.3 million.
The carrying amount of the 2027 Notes consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

(1) The original principal of the 2027 Notes at issuance was recorded at fair value of $196.2 million, which is equal to the exchanged principal of $176.3 million and cash consideration received of $19.9 million. After the exchange on July 2, 2025, the remaining fair value of the principal recorded at issuance of the 2027 Notes was $46.2 million.
We classified the fair value of the 2027 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 2027 Notes and our cost of debt. The estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $53.2 million and $192.0 million and was determined using a lattice model.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized interest costs on the 2027 Notes as follows (in thousands):

Convertible Senior Notes due 2026
In March and April 2021, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. After the exchange on July 2, 2025, the annual effective interest rate of the 2026 Notes remained 1.83%. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, subject to earlier repurchase, redemption or conversion. In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes in November 2024, the Company exchanged $176.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes held by the 2026 Notes Offering Participants for $176.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. Following the issuance of the 2027 Notes and partial exchange of the 2026 Notes in November 2024, the remaining outstanding principal of the 2026 Notes was $53.7 million.
Following the issuance of the 2030 Notes and partial exchange of the 2026 Notes in July 2025, the remaining outstanding principal of the 2026 Notes was $33.7 million.
Each $1,000 of principal amount of the 2026 Notes initially is convertible into 14.6800 shares of Common Stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $68.12 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. The 2026 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Common Stock, or any combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, or if we issue a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2026 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or redemption. The 2026 Notes will be considered in default if there is a default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $50.0 million.
The carrying amount of the 2026 Notes consisted of the following as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Principal amount | $ | 33,740 | | | $ | 53,740 | |
| Less: debt discount | (108) | | | (454) | |
Net carrying amount of liability component | $ | 33,632 | | | $ | 53,286 | |
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $32.9 million and $48.7 million and was determined using a lattice model.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized interest costs on the 2026 Notes as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Contractual interest | $ | 96 | | | $ | 539 | | | $ | 398 | | | $ | 1,916 | |
| Amortization of debt discount | 59 | | | 395 | | | 246 | | | 1,180 | |
| Total | $ | 155 | | | $ | 934 | | | $ | 644 | | | $ | 3,096 | |
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of 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.
No changes to the capped call transactions occurred in connection with the Exchange and Subscription agreements pertaining to the issuance of the 2027 Notes in November 2024.
In June 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes and partial exchange of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into agreements with the bank counterparties to collectively unwind and terminate 196,200 capped call transactions, which is equal to the proportion of the total principal of the 2026 Notes that was exchanged for the 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes. Upon entering into the unwind and termination agreements, the Company determined the related portion of the capped call transactions no longer met the criteria for equity classification. In July 2025, the Company subsequently received cash proceeds of $2.7 million for the settlement of the capped call transactions. The remaining capped call transactions continue to be classified as equity and are presented in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) as of September 30, 2025.
The remaining capped call transactions continue to be accounted for as freestanding financial instruments and recorded at the initial fair value in Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with no recorded subsequent change to fair value as long as they meet the criteria for equity classification.
Revolving Credit Agreement
In February 2024, we prepaid $43.1 million to terminate all commitments to access further credit under the Credit Agreement using a portion of the $80.0 million in proceeds received from the Rights Offering. See Note 8, Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) and Compensation Arrangements, for additional information regarding the Rights Offering. The Payoff Amount included $42.8 million in principal, $0.1 million in interest and $0.2 million in fees. The terms of the Rights Offering permit the Company to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt. We were not subject to any early termination penalties under the Credit Agreement. The payment of the Payoff Amount terminated our obligations under the Credit Agreement, except for ordinary and customary survival terms. In addition, we retained access to letters of credit, originally available under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to our pre-existing Cash Collateral Agreement.
The amounts committed to letters of credit under the Cash Collateral Agreement and Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $32.6 million and $33.7 million. Pursuant to the Cash Collateral Agreement, cash collateral is required for all letters of credit and treated as restricted cash, which is presented in Prepaid expense and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 5, Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations Information, for additional information.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2025 and through the date of this report, did not materially change from the amounts set forth in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 October 31, 2024, we learned the highest-level court declined to hear our appeal related to a Portugal VAT assessment for the periods from 2013 to 2015 of approximately $4.6 million, inclusive of penalties and interest through September 30, 2025. This assessment became final and due during the fourth quarter of 2024 and is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2025. The related obligation for this assessment is presented in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025. We currently have a bank guarantee of $4.1 million in place relating to this assessment that is classified as restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.
In 2015, we lodged an appeal in the Portuguese courts relating to a Portugal VAT assessment for the periods from 2011 to 2012 of up to $5.0 million, inclusive of penalties and interest through September 30, 2025. During 2024, we received a negative ruling at the lowest level court and subsequently lodged an appeal to the second-level court to assert factual and legal challenges to this assessment. Also in 2024, we recorded a contingent liability of $4.6 million in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets after concluding that an adverse outcome was probable. During the current quarter, there have been no updates related to the appeal, and a contingent liability of $4.6 million is recorded as of September 30, 2025. We currently have a bank guarantee of $4.4 million in place relating to this assessment that is classified as restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.
A Groupon subsidiary in Italy, Groupon S.r.l., is presently litigating a tax dispute with the Italian tax authorities relating to the $134.9 million Italy 2012 Assessment, inclusive of taxes, penalties and interest through September 30, 2025. Refer to Note 11, Income Taxes for additional information.
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 and/or at present, we have litigated patent infringement and other intellectual property-related claims, including pending litigation or trademark disputes relating to, for example, our Goods category, some of which involved or could have involved 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, lawsuits, and arbitrations 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, lawsuits, and arbitrations, 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, regulatory and indirect tax 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, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our accrued liabilities for loss contingencies related to legal, regulatory and indirect tax 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. In 2020 and 2019, we decreased our indemnification liabilities due to the expiration of certain indemnification obligations. Our remaining indemnification liabilities were $2.8 million as of September 30, 2025.
After negative rulings at the first and second tier courts in March 2024 and April 2025 for the majority of the assessed amounts, the Company filed a special appeal to the second-level court requesting the court to revisit certain aspects of its decision. The second-level court denied the special appeal and Groupon will appeal to the third tier court. For one of the matters to be appealed, in the first quarter of 2025, the Company concluded an adverse outcome is probable based on the second tier court findings specific to that case. The Company therefore determined it is probable a loss has been incurred for this individual matter and recorded additional liability of $0.5 million, including interest and penalties, which is presented within Income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
We estimate that the total amount of obligations that are reasonably possible to arise under the indemnifications, inclusive of the contingent liability of $0.5 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, should not exceed our bank guarantee of $10.2 million for these assessments. Our bank guarantee is classified as restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.
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. 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 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
Groupon, Inc. Incentive Plan
In August 2011, we established the 2011 Plan under which options, RSUs, 2025 PSUs, 2024 Executive PSUs and PSUs of up to 20,775,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for future issuance to employees, consultants and directors. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. As of September 30, 2025, 4,710,474 shares of Common Stock were available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
The RSUs generally have vesting periods between one and three years and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their requisite service period.
The table below summarizes RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| RSUs | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit) |
| Unvested at December 31, 2024 | 711,346 | | | $ | 11.18 | |

(1) Reclassification of liability-classified 2024 Executive PSUs following modification of the award to equity-classified units as of June 26, 2025. Please refer to the modification details in the "Liability-classified 2024 Executive PSU" section below.
As of September 30, 2025, $7.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.3 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) | 2.00 |
| Expected volatility | 78.2 | % |

As of September 30, 2025, all compensation costs related to unvested stock options granted under the 2011 Plan were recognized. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.4 million.
These stock options were granted to our CEO, who is based in the Czech Republic. Taxes on stock options in the Czech Republic are payable upon the sale of the underlying shares. The Company's tax liability is determined by multiplying the applicable tax rate by the difference between the value of the shares underlying the options on the date of exercise and the aggregate exercise price of the options. These taxes will be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations upon any subsequent sale of the shares acquired upon exercise of the options. Upon exercise, the Company may also recognize a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the employee's portion of taxes that are required to be remitted to the tax authorities on behalf of the CEO.
On November 5, 2025, the Company and its CEO, Dušan Šenkypl, entered into an amendment to his Stock Option Agreement, dated March 30, 2023, to permit the use of a cashless, share-withholding mechanism for the payment of immediate income tax obligations arising upon exercise vested options. The amendment did not modify the number of shares, exercise price, vesting schedule, or other material terms of the award.
Performance Share Units
We grant PSU awards to our executive and upper management teams. Vesting of our 2025 PSUs, 2024 Executive PSUs and PSUs are subject to continued service through the period dictated by the award and certification by the Compensation Committee that the specified performance and market conditions have been achieved.
2025 PSUs
We granted 2025 PSUs in May, June, and July 2025. The 2025 PSUs may only be earned if certain stock price hurdles are met and the recipient satisfies certain service conditions. The achievement of the stock price hurdles is measured during a period beginning on February 2, 2026 and ending on May 1, 2028. The 2025 PSUs have four stock price hurdles: $19.75, $26.76, $31.01, and $68.82, based on a 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. The shares awarded under the 2025 PSUs are divided equally between four tranches corresponding to achievement of each stock price hurdle. Once the stock price hurdle is achieved, a service condition must also be met before the shares will vest. Specifically, the service condition for: (i) 33% of the award will be met after May 1, 2026; (ii) an additional 33% of the award will be met after May 1, 2027; and (iii) the final 34% of the award will be met after May 1, 2028. We determined these awards are subject to a market condition, and therefore used a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the grant date fair value of the awards and the related derived service period. The explicit service period for each award exceeds the derived service period and therefore we recognize the expense over the explicit service period.
The key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation and requisite service period for the 2025 PSUs are outlined in the following table:

2024 Executive PSUs
Equity-classified 2024 Executive PSUs
We granted 2024 Executive PSUs on June 12, 2024 and October 14, 2024. The 2024 Executive PSUs may only be earned if certain stock price hurdles are met and the recipient satisfies certain service conditions. The achievement of the stock price hurdles is measured during a period beginning on February 2, 2025 and ending on May 1, 2027. The 2024 Executive PSUs have four stock price hurdles: $14.86, $20.14, $31.01, and $68.82 based on a 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. The shares awarded under the 2024 Executive PSU award are divided equally between four tranches corresponding to achievement of each stock price hurdle. Once the stock price hurdle is achieved, a service condition must also be met before the shares will vest. Specifically, the service condition for: (i) 33% of the award was met on May 1, 2025; (ii) an additional 33% of the award will be met after May 1, 2026; and (iii) the final 34% of the award will be met after May 1, 2027. The 2024 Executive PSUs are subject to downward adjustments by the Compensation Committee. We determined these awards are subject to a market condition, and therefore used a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the grant date fair value of the awards and the related derived service period. The explicit service period for each award exceeds the derived service period and therefore we recognize the expense over the explicit service period.

As of September 30, 2025, we had unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested equity-classified 2024 Executive PSUs of $13.6 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.18 years.
In May 2025, the first stock price hurdle of $14.86 was achieved based on the 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. Accordingly, 287,115 equity-classified 2024 Executive PSUs vested following certification of the Compensation Committee’s determinations as to the satisfaction of the other requirements for such 2024 Executive PSUs.
In June 2025, the second stock price hurdle of $20.14 was achieved based on the 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. Accordingly, 269,865 equity-classified 2024 Executive PSUs vested following certification of the Compensation Committee's determinations as to the satisfaction of the other requirements for such 2024 Executive PSUs.
In August 2025, the third stock price hurdle of $31.01 was achieved based on the 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. Accordingly, 299,335 equity-classified 2024 Executive PSUs vested following certification of the Compensation Committee’s determinations as to the satisfaction of the other requirements for such 2024 Executive PSUs.
Liability-classified 2024 Executive PSUs
In October 2024, the Compensation Committee approved a cash incentive award, which was required to be settled in cash upon vesting. The award was subject to the same market, performance and service conditions as the 2024 Executive PSUs. Upon vesting, the cash settlement, if any, was calculated by multiplying the closing stock price on each vesting date by the number of shares that would have otherwise vested if the award provided for equity settlement. The related award obligation was presented within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In May 2025, the first stock price hurdle of $14.86 was achieved based on the 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. Accordingly, the equivalent of up to 21,563 liability-classified 2024 Executive PSUs were eligible to be settled in cash subject to the Compensation Committee’s determinations as to the satisfaction of the other requirements for such 2024 Executive PSUs. The cash settlement of approximately $0.6 million was paid during the second quarter of 2025.
In June 2025, the second stock price hurdle of $20.14 was achieved based on the 90 consecutive calendar day volume-weighted average stock price. In the same month, the Compensation Committee approved a modification to the award to require settlement in shares of the Company's Common Stock. As a result of this change, the award was reclassified from a liability-classified award to an equity-classified award, effective as of the modification date. The modification did not affect the market, performance, or service conditions, nor any other terms of the award, aside from the change in settlement method. For the portion attributable to the first and second stock price hurdles but not yet settled in cash, the award was exchanged for RSUs. For the portion attributable to the third and fourth stock price hurdles, the award was exchanged for equity-classified PSUs.

The Company reclassified the fair value of the liability as of the modification date to Additional paid-in-capital and will recognize any remaining unrecognized compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period. The fair value of the awards immediately before the modification, which was used as the basis for the reclassification, was $2.2 million.
The fair value of the modified, equity-classified award as of the modification date was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The key inputs used in the initial Monte Carlo simulation for the units originally granted in October 2024 were the risk-free rate of 3.86%, dividend yield of 0.00%, and our stock price volatility of 98.70%. The key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation for the same units originally granted in October 2024 as part of the modification were a risk-free rate of 3.71%, dividend yield of 0.00%, and a stock price volatility of 98.59%.

PSUs
We have granted PSUs that vest in shares of our Common Stock upon the achievement of financial and operational targets specified in the respective award agreement. Based on our financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2024, no shares were issued upon vesting in April 2025 as the specified performance conditions were not met by the end of the performance period.

Major Rocket Incentive Shares
On March 11, 2025, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Major Rocket with a three-year contractual term beginning January 1, 2025. Pursuant to the Major Rocket Agreement, Major Rocket provides marketing services in North America including sourcing and facilitation of contracts for enterprise offerings on Groupon’s platform. Under the Major Rocket Agreement, Major Rocket is eligible to receive incentive compensation if the merchant offerings it is responsible for sourcing achieve certain financial benchmarks ranging in amount from $10 million to $25 million. The incentives payable to Major Rocket upon satisfaction of these benchmarks may be satisfied through the Company’s issuance of up to 954,000 shares of the Common Stock or, at the Company’s election, the payment of cash in an amount equal to the then current value of such shares.
The award is equity-classified under ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, given the Company's intent and ability to settle the awards in shares of Common Stock. The total compensation expense is

measured at the grant-date fair value of the maximum number of shares issuable, which was approximately $9.3 million, based on the grant date share price as of March 11, 2025. Compensation expense will be recognized over the service period as Major Rocket’s services are received through December 31, 2027, or earlier if all the financial benchmarks are met before then, and only when achievement of these benchmarks becomes probable.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense within Selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as the achievement of one of these benchmarks was deemed probable based on forecasted results through the end of 2027.
Rights Offering
On January 22, 2024, we announced the closing of our $80.0 million fully backstopped Rights Offering for shares of our Common Stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, 7,079,646 shares of Common Stock were purchased at $11.30 per share, generating $80.0 million in gross proceeds, less issuance costs incurred. As detailed below, the Rights Offering was oversubscribed, and the subscriptions, inclusive of the exercise of all over-subscription privileges, well exceeded $80.0 million, the maximum aggregate offering size of the Rights Offering.
Through the exercise of both basic subscription rights and over-subscription privileges, the Backstop Party subscribed for approximately 7.1 million shares and other stockholders subscribed for approximately 9.7 million shares. The Company issued 4,574,113 shares of Common Stock via the exercise of the basic subscription rights and 2,505,533 shares of Common Stock via the exercise of over-subscription privileges. The Backstop Party purchased approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock in connection with the Rights Offering.
NOTE 9. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Refer to Note 14, Segment Information, for revenue summarized by reportable segment and category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
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, 2025 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| Customer Credits |
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | 22,349 | |
| Credits issued | 71,755 | |
Credits redeemed (1) | (63,166) | |
| Breakage revenue recognized | (6,197) | |
| Foreign currency translation | 308 | |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $ | 25,049 | |
(1)Customer credits can be redeemed through our online marketplaces for goods or services provided by a third-party merchant and 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 on a straight-line basis over the expected period of the merchant arrangement, generally from 12 to 18 months. Deferred contract acquisition costs are presented in Prepaid expenses and other current assets
GROUPON, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(unaudited)
and Other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred contract acquisition costs were $5.0 million and $4.2 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 $1.4 million of deferred contract acquisition costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $4.9 million and $4.4 million of deferred contract acquisition costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
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. The carrying amount of receivables is reduced by an allowance for expected credit losses that reflects management's best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. 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.
The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| Allowance for Expected Credit Losses |
Balance at December 31, 2024 | $ | 2,673 | |

| Foreign currency translation | 34 | |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $ | 2,531 | |
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 $1.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $5.4 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. When actual redemptions differ from our estimates, the effects could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 10. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
Italy Restructuring Plan
In July 2024, Groupon S.r.l.'s Board approved the exit of the local business in Italy and the related restructuring actions associated with the exit. We have incurred pre-tax charges of $2.2 million since the inception of the Italy Restructuring Plan, substantially all of which were paid in cash as of December 31, 2024 and relate to employee severance and compensation benefits. The Italy Restructuring Plan included a reduction of 33 positions locally, all of which were completed as of December 31, 2024. Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, we recorded an immaterial amount of Restructuring and related charges and (credits) associated with
GROUPON, INC.

this plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
2022 and 2020 Restructuring Plans
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an immaterial amount of Restructuring and related charges and (credits) under the 2022 and 2020 Restructuring Plans in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily related to the release of our estimated accruals for certain severance benefits upon expiration of the eligible payout period or resolution.
NOTE 11. 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 continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | 21,249 | | | $ | 2,321 | | | $ | 33,603 | | | $ | 17,802 | |
Income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | (96,534) | | | $ | 16,843 | | | $ | (55,559) | | | $ | 11,406 | |
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, 2025 and 2024 was the pretax losses incurred in jurisdictions that have valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets, including U.S. pre-tax losses in the third quarter of 2025 due to a loss on the extinguishment of debt, and the accrual of an Italy tax assessment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.
Given the Company’s recent history of U.S. taxable earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next twelve months sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow the Company to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the U.S. federal and state valuation allowance recorded will no longer be needed. The reversal would result in an income tax benefit for the quarterly and annual fiscal period in which the Company releases the valuation allowance. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release, if at all, are subject to significant judgment and are dependent on the level of profitability and likelihood of future utilization of attributes that we are able to actually achieve.
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.
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. Additionally, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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.
We are currently under audit by several foreign 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 the Italy 2012 Assessment for $134.9 million (€114.8 million), inclusive of estimated incremental interest. The subsidiary subject to the Italy 2012 Assessment is Groupon S.r.l., one of the Company's Italian subsidiaries with operations formerly relating specifically to the local voucher business in Italy. Additionally, unrelated to the tax matter above, Groupon S.r.l. is subject to the Italy 2017 Assessment of approximately $35.1 million (€30.1 million) related to a 2017 distribution made to its parent entity.
Groupon S.r.l. disputes all the assessments and is presently pursuing multiple appeals of these matters at various levels of the Italian tax courts.
As a result of Italian tax court procedures that require the deposit of “provisional” amounts while tax appeals are pending, Groupon S.r.l. has made installment payments specifically relating to the Italy 2012 Assessment totaling $10.5 million (€8.9 million) towards provisional amounts owed.
On August 5, 2025, Groupon S.r.l. and the Italian Tax Authority reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Italy 2012 and 2017 Assessments. With respect to the Italy 2012 Assessment, the agreement provides that the Italian Tax Authority would reduce the Italy 2012 Assessment from $134.9 million (€114.8 million) to $20.5 million (€17.5 million) against which approximately $10.1 million (€8.6 million) would be credited from previous installment payments made by Groupon S.r.l. With respect to the Italy 2017 Assessment, the agreement provides that the Italian Tax Authority would reduce the Italy 2017 Assessment from $35.1 million (€30.1 million) to approximately $4.8 million (€4.1 million). Accordingly, under the terms of the agreement, the combined total amount that would be owed by Groupon S.r.l. is $25.3 million (€21.6 million) of which $10.1 million (€8.6 million) has already been paid. Therefore, Groupon S.r.l. would pay an additional $15.2 million (€13.0 million).
In October 2025, the Italian Tax Authority informed Groupon S.r.l., that the proposed agreement has been approved by the Administrative Review Committee, an Italian non-governmental oversight group; and the Central Directorate on Tax Audit for the Italian Internal Revenue Service.
Groupon S.r.l. expects to receive a revised version of the Italy 2012 Assessment from the Italian Tax Authority that reflects the terms of the agreement, at which time the parties will voluntarily dismiss all pending appeals. A hearing is scheduled on December 5, 2025, at which time the parties expect to jointly seek judicial approval of the settlement of the Italy 2017 Assessment. Once finalized, Groupon S.r.l. could be required to pay all settled amounts before the end of 2025. Until such time that the revised assessments have been issued and agreed to and the settlement of the Italy 2017 Assessment receives judicial approval, the proposed settlement agreement, in its entirety, remains non-binding on all parties.
As of September 30, 2025, considering all information available, we have determined that it is more likely than not that the reduced assessments under the agreement in principle will be payable. Accordingly, we have recorded foreign income tax expense of $25.3 million (€21.6 million) for the Italy 2012 Assessment and Italy 2017 Assessment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, of which $15.2 million (€13.0 million) is presented in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025 related to payments not yet remitted.
Including the above, we believe it is reasonably possible that reductions of up to $18.0 million in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the 12 months following September 30, 2025 upon closing of income tax audits or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.
Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “OBBB Act”) was enacted into law in the U.S.. The OBBB Act introduces significant changes to the federal income tax code, including changes to the deductibility of
research and development (“R&D”) expenses, bonus depreciation, limitation on interest deductibility, international taxation and minimum tax rules.
We have included the impact of the OBBB Act in our financial statements as of September 30, 2025. This resulted in a benefit to our annual effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the elimination of the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S. based R&D expenditures. The application of this provision will also result in favorable cash tax impacts for the 2025 tax year. Additionally, the Company utilized U.S. deferred tax assets, offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance.
We will continue to evaluate the implications of the OBBB Act, including potential state income tax conformity, and will adjust estimates and the impact to our income tax provision as additional guidance is issued.
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined under 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, 2025 and 2024.
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 did not record any significant nonrecurring fair value remeasurements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
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, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to their short-term nature.
NOTE 13. 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, RSUs, PSUs, ESPP shares, incentive shares, 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.

(1)The capped call transactions are expected to reduce potential dilution to our Common Stock upon conversion of the 2026 Notes outstanding principal. Upon conversion of both the capped call transactions and then-outstanding 2026 Notes, there will be minimized economic dilution from the 2026 Notes, as exercise of the capped call transactions reduces dilution from the 2026 Notes that would have otherwise occurred when the price of our Common Stock exceeds the conversion price.
(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 6, Financing Arrangements, for additional information.
As of September 30, 2025, there were up to 848,352 shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding 2024 Executive PSUs, 1,616,921 shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding 2025 PSUs and 954,000 shares issuable upon vesting of outstanding Major Rocket incentive shares that were excluded from the table above as neither the applicable market and performance conditions nor the specified merchant revenue-related profit thresholds were satisfied as of the end of the period.

NOTE 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, we disaggregate our operations into two operating and reportable segments: North America and International based on geographically distinct market dynamics. The segment information below reflects the operating results that are regularly provided to and are reviewed by our CODM, who is our CEO, to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Our segment information is based on the "management" approach. The "management" approach, as defined within ASC Topic 280, designates the internal reporting used by the CODM for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. Our measure of segment profitability is contribution profit, defined as net revenues less cost of sales and marketing expenses, as presented below, and is regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM assesses our segments’ performance based on contribution profit predominantly in the monthly budget-to-actual variances analysis when making decisions about the allocation of our investment in marketing expenses to each segment. We do not report asset-related information by reportable segment because our CODM does not regularly receive asset information on a reportable segment basis.
The following table summarizes revenue by reportable segment and category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
