² See Non-GAAP financial measures—Adjusted Earnings per Share below for the definition of Adjusted Earnings per Share and a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share to Adjusted Earnings per Share.

³ “Leverage ratio” as of a reporting date is defined as net debt as of such date divided by adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ending on such date. “Net debt” is defined as financial debt and the capitalized value of finance lease obligations, less available cash. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, determined on a pro forma basis to include the results of the acquired businesses as if they had been owned throughout the entire twelve-month period, adjusted to exclude transaction-related expense, reorganization-related expense, and equity compensation expense, among other items. In addition, adjusted EBITDA reflects achieved cost savings from reorganizations as if such savings had been achieved at the beginning of the twelve-month period, as well as certain expected cost savings. These calculations are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. The disclaimer included in Forward-looking statements below applies.

Bending Spoons S.p.A. | Q2 2026 Results | Page 1

Revenue grew by $393 million, or 126%, from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026, primarily driven by acquisitions. The businesses acquired from the start of Q2 2025 until the end of Q2 2026 are AOL, Eventbrite, Harvest, MileIQ, Tractive, and Vimeo. Organic revenue growth⁴ was 3% in Q2 2026, with Tractive and WeTransfer making the largest contributions. Growth in these businesses was partly offset by a decline in Remini and Splice revenue.

Gross profit grew by $259 million, or 127%, from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026, as cost of revenue increased by $134 million, or 126%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by the following:

  • An increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets, reflecting continued acquisition activity
  • An increase in IT infrastructure expense, reflecting an increase in cloud infrastructure utilization primarily driven by acquisitions
  • An increase in distribution and payment processing expense, reflecting the increase in revenue

In Q2 2026, cost of revenue included the following items, which were adjusted in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • $82 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets
  • $2 million of transaction-related expense
  • $1 million of reorganization-related expense

Operating income grew by $140 million, or 139%, from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026, resulting from the $259 million increase in gross profit noted above, partially offset by a $120 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects personnel costs associated with the ongoing operation of newly acquired businesses, and separation packages offered to team members in connection with the reorganizations of AOL, Eventbrite, Tractive, and Vimeo.

In Q2 2026, operating expenses included the following items, which were adjusted in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • $50 million of reorganization-related expense
  • $5 million of transaction-related expense
  • $1 million of other items not considered indicative of core or ongoing operating performance

Net income grew by $112 million, or 171%, resulting from the $140 million increase in operating income noted above, and the net impact of the following:

  • A $73 million increase in interest expense, primarily driven by higher borrowings associated with acquisition financing
  • A $22 million decrease in other expense (income), primarily driven by favorable changes in currency exchange rates
  • A $23 million increase in income tax benefit, primarily driven by the remeasurement of equity compensation obligations at our subsidiaries

In Q2 2026, other expense (income) included the following items, which were adjusted in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • $20 million of foreign exchange gains on assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency
  • $5 million of losses from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps

Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.17, or 163%, resulting from the 171% increase in net income, partially offset by a 3% increase in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

⁴ “Organic revenue growth” for a given period is defined as our revenue in that period divided by the revenue (including estimated pre-acquisition revenue, where applicable) generated by the same businesses in the corresponding period of the prior calendar year, minus 1. If a business contributed to our revenue for only part of the current period, both the numerator and the denominator reflect only the corresponding portion of the respective periods. For example, when calculating organic revenue growth for 2025, a business acquired on November 1, 2025, contributes to the numerator its revenue for the period from November 1 to December 31, 2025, and to the denominator its estimated revenue for the period from November 1 to December 31, 2024.

The following table presents our adjusted measures for the periods shown.

Three months ended June 30,
Thousands, except percentages and per-share amounts 2025 2026 Change
Adjusted Operating Income $ 152,525 $ 381,149 150 %
Adjusted Operating Income Margin 49 % 54 % 5 pp
Adjusted Net Income¹ $ 106,385 $ 292,976 175 %
Adjusted Net Income Margin¹ 34 % 42 % 7 pp
Adjusted Earnings per Share¹ $ 0.17 $ 0.46 167 %

¹ We have revised our definitions of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Margin, and Adjusted Earnings per Share, now also adjusting for foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency, and gains and losses from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps. For additional information regarding these changes, see Non-GAAP financial measures below.

Financial condition (unaudited)

At the end of Q2 2026, net debt totaled $4.09 billion, and leverage ratio was 2.4×.

Our net debt position resulted from long-term debt of $4.88 billion, partially offset by cash and cash equivalents of $793 million. Our revolving credit facilities provided borrowing capacity of up to $1.58 billion, of which $1.28 billion was undrawn at quarter end. As of the end of Q2 2026, $794 million of debt was scheduled to mature within the following twelve months.

During the quarter, we entered into new euro-denominated term loan facilities with an aggregate principal amount of €255 million, and obtained a €460 million increase of our existing euro-denominated revolving credit facility. We drew a total of $581 million under a combination of these new term loan facilities, and existing term loan and revolving credit facilities. Of that amount, $296 million was drawn under the revolving credit facilities on May 6, 2026, remained outstanding as of quarter end, and has since been repaid.

After the end of Q2 2026, we entered into additional euro-denominated term loan facilities totaling €590 million, and obtained increases of euro-denominated revolving credit facilities for a total amount of €30 million. Moreover, we completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “BSP,” raising aggregate net proceeds of $1.10 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

Other highlights

In May 2026, we completed the acquisition of Tractive for an enterprise value of $759 million, including a deferred consideration of $115 million payable one year after closing. Tractive provides pet tracking and health monitoring services, and monetizes primarily via subscriptions.

During Q2 2026, we introduced Alt-Spooner, a personal AI agent that operates with the same access as the person it works for, and draws on their own history and connected accounts. It runs on open-weight models we host, and can be switched at will to any model (including closed-weight ones), or several at once. Rolled out to every Spooner in early July, Alt-Spooner processed over 100 billion tokens in the first three weeks of general availability.

Leveraging technology in our recruiting process remains a focus area. During Q2 2026, we introduced the use of interactive tasks with AI agents in the candidate selection process, scored asynchronously by recruiters. After conducting significant testing, we believe these tasks have demonstrated predictive power.

We continued to broaden our presence beyond our Milan headquarters, opening offices in Madrid and Warsaw, and expanding our London-based Spooner team. Of the Spooners hired during Q2 2026, over 50% were based outside of Italy.

Bending Spoons S.p.A. | Q2 2026 Results | Page 3

Highlights of our progress with recent acquisitions:

  • AOL. We migrated AOL’s news portal to a new, self-developed content management system, rebuilt the advertising technology stack, completed the re-authoring of the webmail frontend, started migrating the user base to this new email platform, and undertook extensive testing of monetization optimizations.
  • Eventbrite. We completed the reorganization, shipped nearly 40 product improvements, increased first-party advertising revenue by approximately 20%, reduced paid user acquisition spend by 30% by curtailing unprofitable expenditure, and started migrating the backend infrastructure to a more modern environment.
  • Vimeo. We introduced over 30 product improvements, reduced system stability incidents by approximately 90% versus pre-acquisition levels, accelerated video upload and search functionality by at least 30%, materially lowered customer support resolution times, and experimented with a new self-serve subscription structure that has so far yielded positive results.

Outlook

For Q3 2026, we forecast the following results:

  • Revenue of $733 million to $745 million, implying year-over-year growth of 113% at the midpoint
  • Adjusted Operating Income of $380 million to $400 million, implying year-over-year growth of 111% at the midpoint⁵

For the full year 2026, we forecast the following results:

  • Revenue of $2.78 billion to $2.82 billion, implying year-over-year growth of 114% at the midpoint of the range
  • Adjusted Operating Income of $1.46 billion to $1.51 billion, implying year-over-year growth of 142% at the midpoint of the range⁵

This outlook is based solely on the portfolio of businesses owned as of August 12, 2026, and does not include any contribution from additional acquisitions.

Webcast and conference call

We will host a conference call to discuss our results at 8:00 a.m. ET (2:00 p.m. CET) today. The live webcast of the call, along with this press release, will be available on our investor relations website at investors.bendingspoons.com. Following the call, a replay will be available on the same website.

We publish important information on our investor relations website, and may use it from time to time as a means of disclosing information to the market, potentially including material non-public information. Accordingly, investors should monitor our investor relations website, in addition to our press releases, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, public conference calls, and webcasts.

⁵ We have not provided forecasts of operating income or reconciliations of forecasted operating income to forecasted Adjusted Operating Income because, without unreasonable effort, we are unable to predict operating income and the amounts of the reconciling items with sufficient confidence.

About Bending Spoons

Bending Spoons is built on the conviction that operational excellence enables efficient growth through acquisitions. We acquire digital businesses, implement deep transformations and ongoing optimizations to sustainably expand earnings, and reinvest in additional acquisitions, thereby continuing the compounding cycle. We have executed this strategy for more than a decade and, to date, have never sold a material business.

We strive to envision the most successful version of an acquired business, and work to close the gap between its current state and that vision as quickly and completely as possible. The transformation is typically deep and entails reorganizing teams, overhauling technology, redesigning user interfaces, accelerating product development, and enhancing marketing and monetization. AI is often both a central component of our vision for the acquired business and a key tool in implementing the transformation.

Our performance is driven by our Platform—comprising our people, proprietary technologies, and proprietary data—and reflects our intense focus on achieving exceptional talent density, cultural strength, and technical capabilities.

Bending Spoons' main businesses include AOL, Brightcove, Eventbrite, Evernote, komoot, Remini, StreamYard, Tractive, Vimeo, and WeTransfer.

Non-GAAP financial measures

To inform our strategy and plans, we regularly monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures. These are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, are not a substitute for GAAP financial information, and may differ from similarly titled or defined measures used by other companies.

The definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, are provided in their respective sections below. Investors are encouraged to review these definitions and reconciliations.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin

Adjusted Operating Income for a given period is defined as operating income for that period, adjusted to exclude amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, transaction-related expense, reorganization-related expense, and other items that management does not consider indicative of core or ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted Operating Income Margin for a given period is defined as Adjusted Operating Income divided by revenue for that period.

When considered together with comprehensive GAAP financial information, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin may help evaluate our operating efficiency and improve period-to-period comparability, particularly during periods in which acquisition and transformation activities were especially intensive.

The following table presents a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted Operating Income for the periods shown.

Adjusted Net Income for a given period is defined as net income for that period, adjusted to exclude amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, transaction-related expense, reorganization-related expense, foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps, other items that management does not consider indicative of core or ongoing operating performance, and the income tax effect of the foregoing adjustments.

Adjusted Net Income Margin for a given period is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by revenue for that period.

When considered together with comprehensive GAAP financial information, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Margin may help evaluate our profitability and improve period-to-period comparability, particularly during periods in which acquisition and transformation activities were especially intensive.

We have revised our definition of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Margin so that, for a given period, we also adjust net income to exclude foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency, and gains and losses from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps. These items are recorded in other expense (income) in our GAAP financial statements. Management believes that these adjustments improve period-to-period comparability.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Earnings per Share for a given period is defined as diluted earnings per share for that period, adjusted to exclude, net of the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, the per-share impact of amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, transaction-related expense, reorganization-related expense, foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps, other items that management does not consider indicative of core or ongoing operating performance, and the income tax effect of the foregoing adjustments. The effect of dilution is excluded from diluted earnings per share when a net loss is reported for the period, while Adjusted Earnings per Share reflects the effect of such dilution.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for condensed interim financial statements, including Article 10 of Regulation S-X (Rule 10-01). Accordingly, these statements do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the results of the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year 2025 of Bending Spoons S.p.A. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, “Bending Spoons,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

Use of estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the amounts reported. We base our estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired through acquisitions, the useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment, pre-combinations costs, lease terms, income and indirect taxes, contingent liabilities, the recoverability of intangible assets and long-lived assets, goodwill impairment, the fair value of financial instruments (including derivatives), and equity compensation. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment, and actual results could differ materially.

Revenue recognition. Bending Spoons mainly generates revenue from the following sources:

  • Subscriptions. We sell term-based access to our products to individuals and organizations. These contracts are typically auto-renewing, with term durations ranging from one week to a few years. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription term. We have evaluated these contracts under the principal-versus-agent guidance in ASC 606 and determined that we act as the principal, as we are responsible for the fulfillment of the performance obligation, and retain control of our products prior to transfer to the customer, including in arrangements where distribution occurs through third-party platforms, which do not control our products. We determined we act as an agent in certain limited arrangements involving the resale of third-party services, for which we do not control the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer.
  • Advertising. We sell advertising space in some of our products, both directly to advertisers and through intermediaries such as media agencies and programmatic networks. Under arrangements with networks, we contract directly with the network, which is identified as the customer. The network controls the advertising service, including advertiser selection, pricing, ad serving, measurement, and billing. We provide access to advertising inventory within our products based on a proceeds-share agreement with the network. Advertising revenue is recognized in an amount equal to our share of advertising proceeds. Our performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time and control transfers when advertising is delivered, that is when impressions and, where applicable, clicks are recorded.
  • Other revenue. Other revenue is primarily generated from ticketing services and payment processing services we offer to event creators. For ticketing services, we earn a fee that is partly fixed and partly based on the value of the ticket sold. Our performance obligation is to facilitate and process the transaction and issue the ticket, and revenue is recognized when the ticket is sold. For payment processing services, we provide the event creator with two options: to use our payment processing or to use third-party payment processing. Under the first option, we are the merchant of record and are responsible for processing the transaction and collecting the face value of the ticket and all associated fees at the time the ticket is sold. We are also responsible for remitting these amounts collected, less our fees and any payment processing cost, to the event creator. For these services, we are responsible for fulfilling the promise to process the payment and we have discretion in establishing the price of the service. As such, we determined we are the principal in providing the service and we recognize revenue on a gross basis with respect to costs incurred for processing the ticketing transaction. These fees are then recognized and included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated income statements. Under the second option, we are not responsible for processing the transaction or collecting the face value of the ticket and associated fees, therefore we act as an agent in the transaction, and we record revenue on a net basis. Residual revenue streams in the other revenue bucket include one-time in-app purchases, usage-based fees exceeding contractual limits under certain subscription arrangements, contracts for the development of custom features or integrations, and non material sales of pet tracking devices.

Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type. The period between the recording of an invoice to be issued or issuance of an invoice and the corresponding payment due date generally ranges from 15 to 60 days. Payments are primarily collected through third-party payment processors and mobile application stores.

Deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed in advance of our performance obligation. We report deferred revenue on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of our performance obligation is one year or less. The current deferred revenue balances were $451 million and $583 million as of December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026, respectively. The non-current deferred revenue balances were $0.2 million and $38 million as of December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in current deferred revenue is primarily attributable to new acquisitions made in 2026. The increase in the non-current portion of deferred revenue is entirely attributable to the acquisition of the Tractive business occurred in Q2 2026. Of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2025, $351 million was recognized as revenue during the first half of 2026.

The aggregate balance of performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of June 30, 2026, was $775 million.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of readily available cash held in interest-bearing accounts with financial institutions or by third-party payment processors. Our virtual wallet balances as a merchant, which represent funds held by third-party payment processors available for settlement, are classified as cash and cash equivalents, as they represent funds that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These balances amounted to $13 million and $131 million as of December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Eventbrite, Inc.

Fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows:

  • Level 1. Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in active markets.
  • Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3. Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, thus requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Income taxes. We determine our income tax provision for each interim period by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) to year-to-date pre-tax income, in accordance with ASC 740-270. The AETR represents management’s best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected to apply to full-year pre-tax income, considering the anticipated mix of income across jurisdictions and estimated permanent differences. The AETR is revised at each subsequent interim period if our estimate of the full-year effective rate changes. Certain items that are unusual, infrequent, or that cannot be reliably estimated on an annual basis are treated as discrete items and recognized in the period in which they occur rather than being included in the AETR computation.

Stock split. On April 23, 2026, our shareholders approved a 10-for-1 stock split that became effective on April 28, 2026, through a share capital increase for no consideration with an aggregate nominal amount of €12,123,744.48. The increase authorized the issuance of 558,433,233 class A shares, 56,822,778 class B shares, 288,132,219 class C shares, 136,576,530 class X-1 shares, 52,436,448 class X-2 shares, and 119,973,240 class X-3 shares with no par value. The share capital increase was executed, and a total of 1,212,374,448 shares were issued to existing shareholders for no consideration and in proportion to their holdings as of the issuance date, with an implicit par value per share of €0.01.

Reverse stock split. On May 28, 2026, our shareholders approved a 1-for-2 reverse stock split that became effective on May 29, 2026, reducing the number of existing shares as of the date of the resolution from 1,347,082,720 to 673,541,360, with an implicit par value per share of €0.02.

Share conversion. On April 23, 2026, our shareholders approved our amended and restated bylaws and the conversion of all outstanding class B shares, class C shares, class X-1 shares, class X-2 shares, and class X-3 shares into ordinary shares based on a 1-for-1 ratio, in each case subject to and effective upon the effective date of our registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, as of June 30, 2026, we have two classes of shares outstanding: ordinary shares and class A shares.

Recent accounting pronouncements (issued and not yet adopted)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our financial disclosures.

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. Upon adoption, we will be required to account for internal-use software under the updated capitalization criteria. The standard is effective for our interim and annual 2028 periods. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which expands the types of hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting and refines certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative financial instruments

We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risks. We entered into interest rate swaps in connection with certain variable-rate debt financing agreements (see Note 8). The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis. We have determined that the significant inputs, such as interest yield curve and discount rate, used to value our interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In the second quarter of 2025 and 2026, we recorded within other expense (income) net losses of $0.6 million and $5 million, respectively, in relation to ineffective hedging derivatives. In the first half of 2025 and 2026, we recorded within other expense (income) net losses of $1 million and gains of $9 million, respectively, in relation to ineffective hedging derivatives.

The gross notional amount of our derivative interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2026, was $1.47 billion and $4.71 billion, respectively.

The following table presents the fair value and the location of derivative contracts reported in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

Contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business. These are accounted for and disclosed in accordance with ASC Topic 450—Contingencies. Typically, the outcomes of these matters are subject to significant uncertainty. If we determine that a material loss is reasonably possible, we disclose this information. We record a liability when it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments and make adjustments as appropriate.

Claims, disputes, and legal proceedings. From time to time, we are involved in claims, disputes, and legal proceedings, such as the following:

  • In March 2021, Sony Music Entertainment Italy (a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Group), Warner Music Italia (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group), Universal Music Italia (a subsidiary of Universal Music Group), and Warner Music International Services (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group) filed a lawsuit against Vimeo, Inc. in the Court of Milan alleging violations of Italian copyright and unfair competition laws. See Sony Music Entertainment Italy S.p.A. et al. v. Vimeo, Inc., Case No. 10977/2021 (Court of Milan, Business Division). The complaint alleges that Vimeo infringed plaintiffs’ copyrights by hosting and streaming user-uploaded videos that contain plaintiffs’ copyrighted works and that, upon notification of the alleged infringement, Vimeo employed a takedown process that did not comply with Italian law. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief and damages to be quantified in a separate proceeding. The parties have exchanged briefs, and the matter remains pending before the Court of Milan. We believe that the allegations are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.
  • In December 2025, Eventbrite, Inc. received hundreds of substantially similar letters alleging violations of the California Invasion of Privacy Act arising from the use of certain website tracking technologies and pixels, which the claimants contend function as unlawful interception or recording of communications without consent. In February and April 2026, Eventbrite received additional letters, bringing the total claims to approximately 1,810. On April 16, 2026, 300 claimants filed arbitration demands with the American Arbitration Association, and on April 30, 2026, 200 more claimants filed arbitration demands, bringing the total number of arbitration demands to 500. We believe that the allegations are without merit and will defend vigorously against them.

Indemnifications. We enter into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, claims may arise in connection with such indemnification provisions. Typically, the outcomes of these matters are subject to significant uncertainty. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, losses incurred in connection with indemnification provisions have not been material. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any disclosure or recorded liability in connection with indemnification provisions and related claims.

Non-income taxes. We may be subject to audit by tax authorities in Italy and other jurisdictions regarding non-income tax matters. To date, losses incurred in connection with non-income taxes have not been material. As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any disclosure or liability in connection with non-income taxes.

As of June 30, 2026, our revolving credit facilities had the following main characteristics:

  • Euro RCF. A euro-denominated revolving credit facility, "RCF," providing borrowing capacity up to €1.22 billion ($1.38 billion at the then-current exchange rate), including €239 million add-ons made available in the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the facility was drawn for €260 million ($296 million at the then-current exchange rate) bearing interest equal to one-month Euribor, plus 3.25%. If drawn, amounts outstanding under the facility would bear interest at a rate equal to one-month, three-month, or six-month Euribor (at our discretion) plus 3.00% to 3.75% (depending on leverage ratio). An annual commitment fee equal to 0.90% to 1.13% (depending on leverage ratio) applies to the undrawn portion. The facility matures depending on the timing of certain refinancing events, but in any case no later than March 31, 2031.
  • U.S. dollar RCF. A revolving credit facility denominated in U.S. dollars and providing borrowing capacity up to $195 million. As of June 30, 2026, the facility was fully undrawn. If drawn, amounts outstanding under the facility would bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 3.50% or at a rate equal to ABR plus 2.50%. An annual commitment fee of 0.50% applies to the undrawn portion. The facility matures on March 7, 2031.

As of June 30, 2026, our term loan facilities had the following main characteristics:

(1) 2024 Euro TLA. The outstanding principal amount was €1.26 billion ($1.44 billion at the then-current exchange rate), including €150 million and €100 million add-ons, which were entirely drawn, completed in the second quarter of 2026. In addition, €100 million and €30 million add-ons, which remained undrawn, were also completed in the second quarter of 2026. 100% of the drawn facility was hedged against interest rate fluctuations. The facility bears interest at a rate ranging from 5.50% to 6.25% (inclusive of the effect and cost of hedging, and depending on leverage ratio) and matures on March 31, 2031.
(2) 2025 U.S. dollar TLB. The outstanding principal amount was $1.79 billion, including a $950 million amendment completed in the first quarter of 2026. 100% of the facility was hedged against interest rate fluctuations.

These financing arrangements include affirmative and negative covenants. The affirmative covenants include obligations relating to compliance with laws, maintenance of authorizations, preservation of assets and insurance, payment of taxes, delivery of financial information, and compliance with applicable financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 4.00. "Leverage ratio" is defined as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA. "Net debt" is defined as financial debt and the capitalized value of finance lease liabilities, less available cash. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, determined on a pro forma basis to include the results of the acquired businesses for the entire reporting period, and adjusted to exclude transaction-related expense, reorganization-related expense, and equity compensation expense, among other items. In addition, adjusted EBITDA reflects achieved cost savings from reorganizations as if they had been achieved at the beginning of the period, as well as expected cost savings. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with this covenant. The negative covenants restrict (among other things) asset disposals, distributions, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the granting of loans, guarantees, and security interests, and certain acquisitions, mergers, and corporate reorganizations, subject to agreed exceptions.

Each of these financing agreements also contains events of default, including misrepresentations, non-payment, breaches of financial covenants or other obligations, cross-default to other indebtedness, insolvency proceedings, and some change of control or corporate events. Upon the occurrence of an event of default and, where applicable, the expiry of any grace period, lenders may terminate commitments and declare outstanding amounts immediately due and payable.

  1. Income taxes

Income (loss) before tax and income tax expense (benefit) were as follows:

Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
Thousands, except effective tax rate 2025 2026 2025 2026
Income (loss) before tax $ 62,139 $ 150,769 $ 34,220 $ 227,101
Income tax expense (benefit) $ (3,113) $ (26,198) $ 81,173 $ 22,668
Effective tax rate (5) % (17) % 237 % 10 %

The effective tax rate in each period is primarily impacted by tax benefits arising from the fair value remeasurement of cash-settled share-based compensation, partially offset by losses incurred in jurisdictions where no tax benefit has been recognized due to valuation allowances.

In addition to these recurring factors, the effective tax rate for the corresponding period in 2025 was impacted by taxes recognized in connection with the transfer of certain acquired businesses to Italy.

  1. Segments and geographic information

Bending Spoons acquires and operates businesses through a centralized Platform. Key strategic and operating decisions include the identification and execution of acquisitions, determination of financing structures, integration of acquired businesses, and resource allocation across our portfolio. These decisions are initiated and determined by our chief executive officer.

Dedicated teams are responsible for devising and executing product, technology, and marketing initiatives at the level of individual businesses or groups of businesses. Personnel are frequently reallocated across businesses as our portfolio expands and priorities shift. As a result, the composition of these teams and how businesses are grouped evolve over time, particularly following acquisitions. This model reflects our focus on optimizing overall portfolio performance rather than managing individual businesses as independent profit centers.

Consistent with this structure, we operate as a single operating and reportable segment, and our chief executive officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM evaluates Bending Spoons' performance and allocates resources based on consolidated net income (loss) as presented on the consolidated income statements (management may also review an adjusted version of this measure to improve period-to-period comparability). The measure of segment assets is reported as total consolidated assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Significant segment costs and other segment items are included within our consolidated income statements, with additional information about these components presented elsewhere in the accompanying financial statements.

Our long-lived tangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets recognized were as follows:

Thousands December 31, 2025 June 30, 2026
U.S. $ 28,389 $ 24,884
Italy $ 9,155 $ 48,139
U.K. $ 6,315 $ 9,486
Netherlands $ 16 $
Rest of the world $ 2,607 $ 5,696
Total tangible long-lived and operating lease assets $ 46,482 $ 88,204
  1. Subsequent events

On July 1, 2026, we completed our initial public offering of ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "BSP." The offering comprised 57,971,015 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $29.00 per share, of which 34,398,640 shares were sold by us and 23,572,375 shares were sold by certain shareholders. The underwriters were granted a 30-day option to

purchase up to an additional 8,695,652 ordinary shares to cover over-allotments (5,244,026 ordinary shares from us and 3,451,626 ordinary shares from the selling shareholders), which was exercised in full on July 9, 2026. We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.10 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. We did not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the aforementioned shareholders. The completion of the initial public offering satisfied the vesting condition for certain one-off equity-based compensation awards, resulting in $11 million of equity compensation expense to be recognized in the third quarter of 2026.

On July 8, 2026, Bending Spoons UK Limited entered into a lease for approximately 30,700 square feet of office space at Regent's Wharf, London, which will serve as the Group's principal U.K. corporate office. The lease has a non-cancellable term of 10 years, expiring in June 2036, with a tenant-only break option exercisable in June 2031. Initial annual base rent is $1.3 million during the incentive period, increasing to $2.6 million thereafter, subject to periodic RPI-indexed rent reviews with cap and collar provisions. On commencement, we expect to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $8 million.

On July 7, we repaid the €260 million drawn euro RCF that was outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The facility remains available for future drawdowns in accordance with its terms.

After June 30, 2026, we entered into the following new financing agreements and amendments to existing financing arrangements:

  • On July 8, we signed two additional facility notices with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. for a new term loan A facility and an increase in the RCF commitment, for amounts of, respectively, €90 million and €30 million. The facilities remain available for future drawdowns in accordance with their terms and mature in March 2031.
  • On July 24, 2026, we entered into a new €500 million SACE-backed medium-to-long-term term loan facility, provided by a syndicate of lenders and benefiting from a 80% guarantee provided on July 27, 2026 by SACE S.p.A. (the Italian export credit agency). The facility matures in March 2031 and is available for general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

In addition, after June 30, 2026 we were made available the following financing under agreements previously entered into:

  • Additional €221 million increases of our Euro RCF by virtue of additional facility notices signed in Q2 2026 whose commitments became available on 8 July 2026. The increase brought our total RCF borrowing capacity to $1.87 billion as of August 12, of which €1.47 billion euro-denominated and $195 million dollar-denominated.
  • An additional €25 million facility under our 2024 Euro TLA by virtue of an additional facility notice signed in Q2 2026 whose commitment became available upon completion of our initial public offering.

On July 27, 2026, we drew €100 million under our 2024 Euro TLA, utilizing in full one of the add-ons completed in the second quarter of 2026 that remained undrawn as of June 30, 2026.

On August 4, 2026 we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Formagrid Inc., owner and operator of Airtable, in an all-cash transaction. The deal values Airtable at an enterprise value of $1.29 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in 2026, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

We evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2026, which is the date on which these condensed consolidated interim financial statements were available to be issued.
