The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Nature of Operations – Traeger, Inc. and its wholly owned Subsidiaries (collectively “Traeger” or the “Company”) design, source, sell, and support wood pellet fueled barbecue grills sold to retailers, distributors, and direct to consumers. The Company produces and sells the pellets used to fire the grills and also sells Traeger-branded rubs, spices, and sauces, as well as grill accessories (including P.A.L. Pop-And-Lock accessory rails, covers, barbecue tools, trays, liners, MEATER smart thermometers and merchandise). A significant portion of the Company’s sales are generated from customers throughout the United States (“U.S.”), and the Company continues to develop distribution in Canada and Europe. The Company’s headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. The reclassifications did not have a significant impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared with those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023.

Emerging Growth Company Status – The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised financial accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with the adoption of new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, its financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which the Company has total annual gross revenues of $1.24 billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii) the date on which the Company issues more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or (iv) December 31, 2026.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and the assumptions made by management that present the greatest amount of estimation uncertainty include the fair value of contingent consideration obligations, customer credits and returns, obsolete inventory reserves, valuation and impairment of intangible assets including goodwill, unrealized positions on foreign currency derivatives and reserves for warranty. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentrations – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash in banks, trade accounts receivable, foreign currency contracts, and business activity with certain third-party contract manufacturers of our products. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and collateral is not generally required in the Company’s sales transactions. Three customers (each large U.S. retailers) that accounted for a significant portion of net sales are as follows:

Concentrations of credit risk exist to the extent credit terms are extended with four customers that account for a significant portion of the Company's trade accounts receivables. As of March 31, 2024, there were four larger customers A, B, C, and D accounted for 24%, 23%, 9%, and 6% of the Company's trade accounts receivables as compared to 37%, 11%, 6%, and 14% as of December 31, 2023. A disruption to a business that would impact its ability to meet its financial obligations on the part of any one of the four customers could result in a material amount of exposure to the Company. No other single customer accounted for greater than 10% of trade accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Additionally, no other single customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s sales to dealers and distributors located outside the United States are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company does have sales to certain dealers located in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada which are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and Canadian Dollars, respectively.

The Company relies on a limited number of suppliers for its contract manufacturing of grills and accessories. A significant disruption in the operations of certain of these manufacturers, or in the transportation of parts and accessories would impact the production of the Company’s products for a substantial period of time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns and Allowances – The Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when a contract exists with a customer that specifies the goods and services to be provided at an agreed upon sales price and when the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation for most of the Company’s sales transactions is considered complete when control transfers, which is determined when products are shipped or delivered to the customer depending on the terms of the contract. Sales are made on normal and customary short-term credit terms or upon delivery of point-of-sale transactions.

Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales and related shipping costs are included in cost of sales. The company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed after control has been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost.

The Company enters into contractual arrangements with customers in the form of individual customer orders which specify the goods, quantity, pricing, and associated order terms. The Company does not have long-term contracts that are satisfied over time. Due to the nature of the contracts, no significant judgment exists in relation to the identification of the customer contract or satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract due to the short-term nature of the contracts.

The Company has certain contractual programs and practices with customers that can give rise to elements of variable consideration such as customer cooperative advertising and volume incentive rebates. The Company estimates the variable consideration using the most likely amount method based on sales and contractual rates with each customer and records the estimated amount of credits for these programs as a reduction to net sales.

The Company has entered into contracts with some customers that allow for credits to be claimed for certain matters of operational compliance or for returns to the retail customer from end consumers. Credits that will be issued associated with these items are estimated using the expected value method and are based on actual historical experience and are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of recognition or when circumstances change resulting in a change in estimated returns. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

On February 25, 2022, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge or otherwise protect against the Eurocurrency Base Rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) fluctuations on a portion of the Company's variable rate debt. The agreement provides for a notional amount of $379.2 million, fixed rate of 2.08% and a maturity date of February 28, 2026. This agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge on the exposure of the variability of future cash flows subject to the variable monthly interest rates on $379.2 million of the term loan portion under the First Lien Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The Company assessed hedge effectiveness at the time of entering into the agreement, utilizing a regression analysis, and determined the hedge is expected to be highly effective.

As a cash flow hedge, the interest rate swap is revalued at current market rates, with the changes in valuation being recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, to the extent that the hedge is effective. The gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reclassified into interest expense in the periods in which the interest rate swap affects earnings. The cash flows related to interest settlements and changes in valuation are classified consistent with the treatment of the hedged monthly interest payments generally as operating activities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In January 2023, the Company changed the interest reset period from one month to three months on the term loan portion under the First Lien Term Loan Facility (as defined below). As a result, the Company dedesignated its hedging relationship. At the time of dedesignation total amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) was $21.3 million and will be amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the term of the previously hedged interest payments. As of March 31, 2024 the Company had $8.7 million remaining within AOCI to be amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense.

For periods where the net position is in an asset balance, the balance is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The gross and net balances from the interest rate swap contract position were as follows (in thousands):

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its purchases and international operations. The Company utilizes foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory and capital equipment, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. The volume of the Company’s foreign currency contract activity is limited by the amount of transaction exposure in each foreign currency and the Company’s election as to whether to hedge the transactions. There are no derivative instruments entered into for speculative purposes.

The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company did not elect hedge accounting for any of these contracts. The fair market value of the contracts in an asset position are offset by the fair market value of the contracts in a liability position to reach a net position. For periods where the net position is an asset balance, the balance is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and for periods where the net position is a liability balance, the balance is recorded within other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the net fair value of contracts are recorded in other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The gross and net balances from foreign currency contract positions were as follows (in thousands):

Gains (losses) from foreign currency contracts were recorded within other income, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands):

For financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction. In determining fair value, observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The following table presents information about the fair value measurement of the Company’s financial instruments (in thousands):

(1)Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2)Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(3)Included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(4)Included in current contingent consideration in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Transfers of assets and liabilities among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 are recorded as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative assets through its foreign currency contracts is based upon observable market-based inputs that reflect the present values of the differences between estimated future foreign currency rates versus fixed future settlement prices per the contracts, and therefore, are classified within Level 2. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contracts held with financial institutions are classified as Level 2 financial instruments, which are valued using observable underlying interest rates and market-determined risk premiums at the reporting date.

On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the share purchase agreement associated with the Apption Labs business combination to extend the earn out period through the end of fiscal year 2023. This amendment also modified the contingent consideration calculation associated with the achievement of certain revenue, earnings, and successful product launch thresholds for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. In April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023.

The fair values of the Company's contingent consideration earn out obligation was estimated using a Black Scholes model. Key assumptions used in these estimates include the weighted average cost of capital and the probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving the forecasted performance targets consistent with the level of risk of achievement. As these are significant unobservable inputs, the contingent consideration earn out obligation is included in Level 3 inputs.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to its fair value and records increases and decreases in fair value in the revaluation of contingent consideration in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation results from changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets.

The following table presents the fair value contingent consideration (in thousands):

The following financial instruments are recorded at their carrying amount (in thousands):

(1)Included in the current portion of notes payable and notes payable, net of current portion in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Due to the unobservable nature of the inputs these financial instruments are considered to be Level 3 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

On June 29, 2021, the Company refinanced its existing credit facilities and entered into a new first lien credit agreement, as borrower, with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and other lenders party thereto as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”). The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a $560.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), including a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan, and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Company entered into an agency transfer agreement on April 30, 2024, pursuant to which Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. succeeded Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Credit Facilities. The Company’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement are substantively unchanged.

The First Lien Term Loan Facility accrues interest at a rate per annum that considers both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 3.00% to 3.25% per annum based on the Company's Public Debt Rating (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) for the relevant interest period. The First Lien Term Loan Facility requires periodic principal payments from December 2021 through June 2028, with any remaining unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due on the maturity date of June 29, 2028. As of March 31, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.8 million.

Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum that considers both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum based on the Company's most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR for the relevant interest period. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a variable commitment fee, which is based on the Company's most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts. Letters of credit may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million which, when issued, lower the overall borrowing capacity of the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on June 29, 2026 and no principal payments are due before such date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The First Lien Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or liens (with certain exceptions), make certain investments, engage in fundamental changes or transactions including changes of control, transfer or dispose of certain assets, make restricted payments (including dividends), engage in new lines of business, make certain prepayments and engage in certain affiliate transactions. In addition, the Company is subject to a financial covenant and is required to maintain a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) not to exceed 6.20 to 1.00.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities.

On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a receivables financing agreement (as amended, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”). Through the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Company participates in a trade receivables securitization program, administered on its behalf by MUFG Bank Ltd. (“MUFG”), using outstanding accounts receivable balances as collateral, which have been contributed by the Company to its wholly owned subsidiary and special purpose entity, Traeger SPE LLC (the “SPE”). While the Company provides operational services to the SPE, the receivables are owned by the SPE once contributed to it by the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary and holds all equity interests of the SPE, thus the Company consolidates the SPE without any significant judgments.

On November 8, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Receivables Financing Agreement in order to extend the expiration of the facility by one year to June 27, 2025. As part of the amendment, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased from $100.0 million to $75.0 million and a mechanism was added to allow for seasonal adjustments to the maximum borrowing capacity, which can now be set between $30.0 million and $75.0 million. A seasonal adjustment schedule was established upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9, and further adjustments can be made up to two times annually at the discretion of the Company (with consent of the lenders under the Receivables Financing Agreement). We are required to pay fixed interest on outstanding cash advances of 2.5%, a floating interest based on the CP Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR (each as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement), and an unused capacity charge that ranges from 0.25% to 0.5%. Amendment No. 9 also implemented a new liquidity threshold at $42.5 million of liquidity. If our liquidity falls below this threshold, it may result in an increase in the required level of reserves, which would result in a reduction of our borrowing base under the Receivables Financing Agreement during such a liquidity shortfall. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Receivables Financing Agreement as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had drawn down $40.6 million under this facility for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company is subject to various claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe it has any currently pending litigation of which the outcome will have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position.

The Traeger, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”), became effective as of July 28, 2021, the day prior to the first public trading date of our common stock. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options, and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock or cash awards to the Company’s employees and consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subject to the adjustment described in the following sentence, the initial number of shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan is equal to 14,105,750 shares, which shares may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased in the open market. On January 1, 2024 and 2023, an additional 6,293,265 shares and 6,131,220 shares of common stock became available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan, respectively, as a result of the operation of an automatic annual increase provision in the 2021 Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2021 Plan, no more than 100,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options under the 2021 Plan.

The Company's stock-based compensation was classified as follows in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (in thousands):

On April 13, 2023, following mutual agreement between the Company and each named executive officer, our board of directors approved the cancellation and termination of the unearned performance stock units originally granted to certain executives in connection with the initial public offering. On the same day, the Company's board of directors approved a grant to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of an award of 1,037,728 performance-based restricted shares (the “2023 Performance Shares”).

The 2023 Performance Shares were eligible to be earned upon the achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA goal during the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023. Based on the achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA goal, the 2023 Performance Shares became earned and vested on March 31, 2024.

On February 6, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a grant to the CEO of an award of 2,075,456 performance-based restricted shares (the “2024 Performance Shares” and, together with the 2023 Performance Shares, the “CEO Performance Shares”). The 2024 Performance Shares were issued under the 2021 Plan and are intended to retain and incentivize the CEO to lead the Company to sustained, long-term superior financial performance.

The number of 2024 Performance Shares eligible to be earned are determined upon the achievement of the Threshold, Target and Maximum Adjusted EBITDA Goals (as defined in the performance-based restricted stock agreement) for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024. Any 2024 Performance Shares that become earned based on the achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA goals will vest on March 31, 2025.

To the extent that the Company achieves Adjusted EBITDA that is less than the Threshold Adjusted EBITDA Goal during the 2024 fiscal year, then 1,037,728 of the 2024 Performance Shares will instead become eligible to be earned based on the achievement of a stock price goal of $18.00 per share (the "Stock Price Goal") for the period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on August 2, 2031. If the Stock Price Goal is achieved, the 2024 Performance Shares that become earned as a result of the achievement of the Stock Price Goal will vest on the later of March 31, 2025 or the date on which the Stock Price Goal is achieved.

The vesting of the 2024 Performance Shares is in all cases subject to the CEO’s continued service as the Company's Chief Executive Officer or Executive Chairman of our board of directors.

For RSUs and CEO Performance Shares, the compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting schedule and requisite service period, respectively. The compensation expense related to the CEO Performance Shares could increase or decrease depending on the estimated probability of achieving the Adjusted EBITDA goals over the requisite service period. In addition, when an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, the Company will recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture, with the exception of performance-based awards for which the requisite service period has been satisfied.

The fair value of the 2024 Performance Shares is based on the shares eligible to be earned under the Target Adjusted EBITDA Goal, as of the grant date.

A summary of the time-based restricted stock unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $21.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested time-based restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.67 years.

A summary of the performance-based restricted share activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested performance-based restricted shares that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.00 year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback and tax planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's U.S. operations have resulted in losses, and as such, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against substantially all its U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Company outsources a portion of its customer service and support through a third party who is an affiliate of the Company through common ownership. The total amount of expenses the Company recorded associated with such services totaled $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amounts payable to the third party as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) attributable to common stockholders by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of potential common shares, determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted EPS calculation, restricted stock units are considered to be potential common shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted EPS attributable to common stockholders for the fiscal periods indicated (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The following table includes the number of units and shares that may be dilutive common shares in the future, and were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effect was anti-dilutive for the fiscal periods indicated:

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2024. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, such as those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. For convenience of presentation, some of the numbers have been rounded in the text below.

Traeger is the creator and category leader of the wood pellet grill, an outdoor cooking system that ignites all-natural hardwoods to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, and barbecue. Our grills are versatile and easy to use, empowering cooks of all skill sets to create delicious meals with a wood-fired flavor that cannot be replicated with gas, charcoal, or electric grills. Grills are at the core of our platform and are complemented by Traeger wood pellets, rubs, sauces, and accessories.

Our marketing strategy has been instrumental in building our brand and driving customer advocacy and revenue. We have disrupted the outdoor cooking market and created a passionate community, the Traegerhood, which includes foodies, pitmasters, backyard heroes, moms and dads, professional athletes, outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen, and world-class chefs. This community, together with our various marketing initiatives, has helped to promote our brand and products to the wider consumer population and supported our efforts to redefine outdoor cooking as an experience accessible to everyone. We have an active online and social media presence and a content-rich website that drives significant customer engagement and brings our Traegerhood together. We also directly engage with our current and target customers by sponsoring and participating in a variety of events, including live shows, outdoor festivals, rodeos, music and film festivals, barbecue competitions, fishing tournaments, and retailer events. We believe the style and authenticity of our customer engagement reinforces our brand and drives new and existing customer interest in our products and community.

Our revenue is primarily generated through the sale of our wood pellet grills, consumables and accessories. We currently offer seven series of grills – Pro (with and without WiFIRE), Ironwood, Timberline, and Flatrock – as well as a selection of smaller, portable grills within our Town and Travel Series and a special Club Lineup through targeted channels. Our grills are available in a number of different sizes and can be upgraded through a variety of accessories. A growing number of our grills feature WiFIRE technology, which allows users to monitor and adjust their grills remotely using our Traeger app. Our consumables include our wood pellets, which are made from natural, virgin hardwood and are available in a variety of flavors, as well as rubs and sauces. Our accessories include MEATER smart thermometers, P.A.L. Pop-And-Lock accessory rails, grill covers, liners, tools, apparel and other ancillary items.

We sell our grills using an omnichannel distribution strategy that consists primarily of retail and direct to consumer (“DTC”) channels. Our retail channel covers brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce platforms, and multichannel retailers, who, in turn, sell our grills to their end customers. Our retailers include Ace Hardware, Amazon, Costco, The Home Depot, and Best Buy, among others, as well as a significant number of independent retailers that cater to local communities and specific categories, such as hardware, camping, outdoor, farm, ranch, barbecue and other categories. Our DTC channel covers sales directly to customers through our website and Traeger app, as well as certain country- and region-specific Traeger or distributor websites. Our consumables and accessories are available through the same channels as our grills.

Over the last several years, we have made significant investments in our supply chain and manufacturing operations. Our supply chain includes third party manufacturers for our grills and accessories and pellet production facilities for our wood pellets that we own or lease. We work closely with our manufacturers to evolve on design, manufacturing process and product quality. Our grills are currently manufactured in China and Vietnam, our wood pellets are produced at facilities located in New York, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas, and our MEATER smart thermometer accessories are currently manufactured in Taiwan. We have entered into manufacturing agreements covering the supply of substantially all of our grills and accessories, pursuant to which we make purchases on a purchase order basis. We rely on several third-party suppliers for the components used in our grills, including integrated circuits, processors, and system on chips.

Our revenue decreased by 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, and was $144.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, down from $153.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We recorded net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We believe that our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those below and in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We believe challenging macroeconomic pressures and uncertainties have resulted in decreased discretionary consumer spending, particularly for durable goods, and therefore contributed to a decline in our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period. For example, we experienced a mid-single digit percentage decline in demand for grills, as measured by unit volume, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period. We expect these macroeconomic trends, and a shift in consumer demand away from big-ticket, home related products such as grills, and towards experiences, services, and leisure, to continue throughout fiscal year end 2024, which could result in continued pressure on our revenue and results of operations.

We experienced an increase in excess of 20% in our inbound freight container rates primarily due to global transportation factors for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. If supply chain challenges continue in the future, we will observe increases in our cost of revenues which could impact our operating results.

In response to these macroeconomic conditions, we have taken actions to identify and execute on cost savings initiatives, while simultaneously seeking to maintain product quality and reliability across the supply chain. For example, we took actions to reduce overhead expenses, execute long-term transportation contracts, enact freight surcharges, and implement operational efficiencies across our pellet mill operations. As a result of these actions, we expect cost savings to improve operating results in the long-term, but given the uncertainty of the current macroeconomic environment, there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of our continuing efforts to help mitigate the effects of these conditions on our business.

We derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale of grills, consumables and accessories in North America, which includes the United States and Canada. We recognize revenue, net of product returns, for our grills, consumables and accessories generally at the time of delivery to retailers through our retail channel and to customers through our DTC channel. Estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of recognition and are calculated based on product returns history, observable changes in return behavior, and expected returns based on sales volume and mix. We also have certain contractual programs that can give rise to elements of variable consideration, such as volume incentive rebates, with estimated amounts of credits recorded as a reduction to revenue.

Although we experience demand for our products throughout the year, we believe there can be certain seasonal fluctuations in our revenue. We have typically experienced moderately higher levels of sales of our grills in the first and second quarters of the year as our retailers purchase inventory in advance of warmer weather, when demand for outdoor cooking products is the highest across our key markets. Higher sales also coincide with social events and national holidays, which occur during the same warm weather timeframe. Additionally, we have experienced higher sales volume of our accessories during the fourth quarter of the year, due in part to seasonal holiday demand.

Gross profit reflects revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of product costs, including the costs of components, costs of products from our third-party manufacturers, direct and indirect manufacturing costs across all products, packaging, inbound freight and duties, warehousing and fulfillment, warranty costs, product quality testing and inspection costs, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, cloud-hosting costs for our WiFIRE connected grills, depreciation of tooling and manufacturing equipment, amortization of internal use software and patented technology, and certain employee-related expenses.

We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. Gross margin can be impacted by several factors, including, in particular, product mix and sales channel mix. For example, gross margin on sales through our DTC channel is generally higher than gross margin on sales through our retail channel.

If our DTC sales grow faster than sales from our retail channel, and if we are able to realize greater economies of scale or product cost improvements through engineering and sourcing, we would expect a favorable impact to overall gross margin over time. Additionally, gross margin on sales of certain of our products is higher than for others. If revenue from sales of wood pellets increased as a percentage of total revenue, we would expect to see an increase in overall gross margin. These favorable anticipated gross margin impacts may not be realized, or may be offset by other unfavorable gross margin factors. Additionally, any new products that we develop, or our planned expansion into new geographies, may impact our future gross margin. External factors beyond our control, such as duties and tariffs and costs of doing business in certain geographies can also impact gross margin.

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of the costs associated with advertising and marketing of our products and employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, as well as sales incentives and professional services. These costs can include print, internet and television advertising, travel-related expenses, direct customer acquisition costs, costs related to conferences and events, and broker commissions. We anticipate that sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate from period to period based on revenue for such period and the timing of the expansion of our sales and marketing functions, as these activities may vary in scope and scale over future periods.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee-related expenses and facilities for our executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, information technology and other administrative functions. General and administrative expense also includes fees for professional services, such as external legal, accounting, and information and technology services, and insurance.

In addition, general and administrative expense includes research and development expenses incurred to develop and improve our future products and processes, which primarily consist of employee and facilities-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, as well as fees for professional services, costs related to prototype tooling and materials, and software platform costs. Research and development expense was $3.7 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We continue to expect our general and administrative expenses, including our research and development expenses and external legal and accounting expenses, to normalize as we continue to manage our investments to support our growth and develop new and enhance existing products. We anticipate that general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue will vary from period to period, but we expect to leverage these expenses over time as we grow our revenue.

Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of identified finite-lived customer relationships, distributor relationships, non-compete arrangements and trademark assets that were allocated a considerable portion of the purchase price from the corporate reorganization and acquisition of our business in 2017, as well as the July 2021 acquisition of Apption Labs Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Apption Labs”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 2.5 to 25 year useful lives and, as a result, amortization expense on these assets is expected to remain stable over the coming years. Future business acquisitions may result in incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired in any such transactions.

The fair values of our contingent consideration earn out obligation associated with the Apption Labs business combination is estimated based on probability adjusted present values of the consideration expected to be transferred using significant inputs. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligation to its fair value and records increases and decreases in fair value in the change in fair value of contingent consideration in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation results from changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving certain performance targets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was no change in fair value of contingent consideration and in April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023.

Total other expense consists of interest expense and other income, net. Interest expense includes interest and other fees associated with our Credit Facilities and Receivables Financing Agreement (each as defined below) as well as the amortization of amounts recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income prior to the dedesignation of the interest rate swap derivative contracts as a cash flow hedge. Other income, net also consists of any unrealized gains (losses) from our interest rate swap derivative contract subsequent to the dedesignation of the swap contract from a cash flow hedge, foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar and from the foreign currency contracts that we use to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our purchases and international operations.

The following tables summarize key components of our unaudited results of operations for the periods presented (dollars in thousands). The period-to-period comparisons of our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

Revenue decreased by $8.2 million, or 5.4%, to $144.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $153.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower average selling prices and unit volume for grills, partially offset by higher unit volume for consumables and higher sales of MEATER smart thermometers.

Revenue from our grills decreased by $12.9 million, or 14.4%, to $76.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $89.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by high-single digit percentage decrease in average selling price and mid-single digit percentage reduction in unit volume. Lower unit volume was driven by sales from end-of-life products and new product launches in the comparable period. The decrease in average selling price was primarily due to mix shift to lower priced grills and strategic pricing action on select grills.

Revenue from our consumables increased by $2.2 million, or 7.4%, to $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in excess of 20% in unit volume of food consumables and a mid-single digit percentage increase in unit volume of wood pellets, partially offset by mid-double digit percentage reduction in average selling price of food consumables.

Revenue from our accessories increased by $2.5 million, or 7.4%, to $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by increased sales of MEATER smart thermometers.

Gross profit increased by $7.1 million, or 12.9%, to $62.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $55.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Gross margin increased to 43.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 36.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross margin was driven primarily by favorability from freight and logistics, pellet mill capacity optimization, and favorable foreign exchange rates.

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.8%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense increased to 15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 14.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was driven by decreases in demand creation costs, partially offset by increased employee expenses.

General and administrative expense increased by $5.5 million, or 20.5%, to $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense increased to 22.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 17.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expense was driven by higher stock-based compensation expense primarily due to the earned and vested 2023 Performance Shares, higher employee expenses, and higher occupancy expenses, partially offset by non-recurring expenses relating to the disposal of pellet mill assets in the comparable period.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration, attributable to the revalued earn out obligation associated with the Apption Labs business combination, decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. The change in fair value was primarily driven by the change in likelihood of achieving the fiscal year 2023 performance targets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was no change in fair value of contingent consideration and in April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023.

Total other expense decreased by $3.1 million, or 41.1%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to realized and unrealized gains on our interest rate swap, partially offset by changes in realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currencies.

Historically, our cash requirements have principally been for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, and debt service payments. We have funded our operations through cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, and borrowings under our credit facilities and receivables financing agreement. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23.6 million, $125.0 million borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and $4.3 million borrowing capacity under our Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below). As of March 31, 2024, we had not drawn down on the Revolving Credit Facility and had drawn down $40.6 million on the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility (as defined below) was $403.8 million. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we continue to believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Financing Agreement, and our anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and profitability, the timing and size of future acquisitions, and the timing of introductions of new products and investments in our supply chain and implementation of technologies.

We may from time to time seek to raise additional equity or debt financing to support our growth or in connection with the acquisition of complementary businesses. Any equity financing we may undertake could be dilutive to our existing stockholders, and any additional debt financing we may undertake could require debt service and financial and operational requirements that could adversely affect our business.

There is no assurance we would be able to obtain future financing on acceptable terms or at all. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table sets forth cash flow data for the periods indicated therein (in thousands):

Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net loss, non-cash adjustments to net loss, and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in net cash used for working capital, partially offset by a decrease in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in cash used in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in the change in accounts receivable in the current period, primarily driven by the collections of large trade receivable balances from our direct import program that were outstanding at the beginning of the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in the change in inventory balances in the current period as a result of strategic inventory management to reduce the high inventory levels at the beginning of the prior year period.

The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily related to improvement costs for our new corporate headquarters in the prior year period.

The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the net borrowing on our lines of credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement of $12.2 million for general corporate and working capital purposes.

On June 29, 2021, we refinanced our existing credit facilities and entered into a new first lien credit agreement, as borrower, with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent, and other lenders party thereto as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”). The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility (the "First Lien Term Loan Facility") and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Company entered into an agency transfer agreement on April 30, 2024, pursuant to which Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. succeeded Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Credit Facilities. The Company’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement are substantively unchanged.

The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a $560.0 million First Lien Term Loan Facility (including a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan) and a $125.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.

The First Lien Term Loan Facility accrues interest at a rate per annum that considers both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 3.00% to 3.25% per annum based on our Public Debt Rating (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) for the relevant interest period. The First Lien Term Loan Facility requires periodic principal payments from December 2021 through June 2028, with any remaining unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due on the maturity date of June 29, 2028.

As of March 31, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.8 million.

Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum that considers both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum based on our most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR for the relevant interest period. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a variable commitment fee, which is based on our most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts. Letters of credit may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million which, when issued, lower the overall borrowing capacity of the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on June 29, 2026 and no principal payments are due before such date. As of March 31, 2024 we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Except as noted below, the Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of TGP Holdings III LLC, TGPX Holdings II LLC, Traeger Pellet Grills Holdings LLC and certain subsidiaries of Traeger Pellet Grills Holdings LLC, including intellectual property, mortgages and the equity interest of each of these respective entities. The assets of Traeger SPE LLC, substantively consisting of our accounts receivable, collateralize the receivables financing agreement discussed below and do not collateralize the Credit Facilities. There are no guarantees from any entities above TGPX Holdings II LLC, including Traeger, Inc.

The First Lien Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or liens (with certain exceptions), make certain investments, engage in fundamental changes or transactions including changes of control, transfer or dispose of certain assets, make restricted payments (including dividends), engage in new lines of business, make certain prepayments and engage in certain affiliate transactions. In addition, we are subject to a financial covenant whereby we are required to maintain a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) not to exceed 6.20 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities.

On November 2, 2020, we entered into a receivables financing agreement (as amended, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”). Through the Receivables Financing Agreement, we participate in a trade receivables securitization program, administered on our behalf by MUFG Bank Ltd. (“MUFG”), using outstanding accounts receivables balances as collateral, which have been contributed by us to our wholly owned subsidiary, Traeger SPE LLC (the “SPE”). While we provide operational services to the SPE, the receivables are owned by the SPE once contributed to it by us. We are the primary beneficiary and hold all equity interests of the SPE, thus we consolidate the SPE without any significant judgments.

On November 8, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Receivables Financing Agreement in order to extend the expiration of the facility by one year to June 27, 2025. As part of the amendment, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased from $100.0 million to $75.0 million and a mechanism was added to allow for seasonal adjustments to the maximum borrowing capacity, which can now be set between $30.0 million and $75.0 million. A seasonal adjustment schedule was established upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9, and further adjustments can be made up two times annually at our discretion (with consent of the lenders under the Receivables Financing Agreement). We are required to pay fixed interest on outstanding cash advances of 2.5%, a floating interest based on the CP Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR (each as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement), and an unused capacity charge that ranges from 0.25% to 0.5%. Amendment No. 9 also implemented a new liquidity threshold at $42.5 million of liquidity. If our liquidity falls below this threshold, it may result in an increase in the required level of reserves, which would result in a reduction of our borrowing base under the Receivables Financing Agreement during such a liquidity shortfall. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Receivables Financing Agreement as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we had drawn down $40.6 million under this facility for general corporate and working capital purposes.

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2024 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our debt and operating lease obligations, respectively.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the notes to the consolidated financial statements included therein and Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There have been no material changes to our disclosures regarding our exposure to market risk as described in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In designing and evaluating our 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 judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

We are from time to time subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections, audits, or investigations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
