Exhibit 99.1

Q2 I 2026 Shareholder Letter The Learning Experience

In this release

Dear Shareholders,

Q2 demonstrated continued improvement in Nerdy’s operating performance and made clearer what the company is becoming: a focused Consumer learning company built around one connected system for learning, tutoring, and progress.

Total revenue was $43.3 million, with Consumer generating $36.5 million, or 84% of total revenue. Gross margin expanded 320 basis points to 64.7%. Net loss improved to $6.9 million from $12.0 million. Our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 68% to $0.9 million from $2.7 million, ahead of the midpoint of our guidance range.

Alongside that progress, we have made two decisions that have narrowed the Company’s focus to its highest-return opportunity. We decided to wind down Varsity Tutors for Schools (“VT4S”) and exit First Tutors, a small, legacy tutoring property in the United Kingdom. This decision concentrates our people, capital, and product development on the part of Nerdy where we have the strongest brand, the deepest operating experience, and the greatest opportunity to build a differentiated learning experience for consumers. We believe the market opportunity is significantly larger and the potential returns on our investments are substantially higher and we’ve been encouraged by the progress in our consumer product and business.

Concentrating Nerdy on Consumer

Consumer revenue was $36.5 million in Q2. Average Revenue per Member per Month (“ARPM”) was $366, up 5% year over year. Learning Memberships were 29.1 thousand at June 30, down 5% year over year, with the rate of decline moderating for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Returning the member base to durable growth remains an important objective this back-to-school season. The rate of decline has continued to narrow while ARPM, gross margin, and operating efficiency have improved. We expect the stronger product experience described below to support retention and acquisition as we move through the back-to-school season and into 2027.

We are reducing our full-year revenue outlook to $168 million to $175 million from $180 million to $190 million. The reduction reflects the removal of expected Varsity Tutors for Schools and First Tutors revenue. Q3 is seasonally our lowest revenue quarter, with the back-to-school cohort beginning to convert into revenue late in Q3 and continuing into Q4. That seasonality, together with the institutional wind-down, is reflected in our Q3 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance of negative $9 million to negative $6 million, excluding exit costs. Our revised full-year non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA outlook is negative $4 million to approximately breakeven, excluding exit costs.

A Smaller Team Building More

Total headcount at the end of Q2 was down 34% year over year. Our engineering organization was 30% smaller than it was a year ago and delivered substantially more product output. We incurred $2.0 million of Al-related expenses during the quarter, which is up sharply from the prior year, which we’re actively moderating and getting more intelligent around. We used variable Al expense to accelerate that work without adding the permanent headcount that a traditional production model would have required. This is one of the most tangible ways Al is changing Nerdy. It allows a smaller organization to build faster, operate with fewer fixed costs, and direct more resources toward the customer experience.

The result is not one isolated product release. Since the beginning of 2026, we have launched or rebuilt almost every piece of the digital learning experience surrounding our live tutoring product and our complimentary non-tutoring products. This will be a significant step up in breadth and quality of our offerings for our customers.

From Tutoring Sessions to a Continuous Learning Plan

Our library now includes more than 15,000 lessons covering each skill within 220 discrete subjects. The lessons are available in 2 formats. The first is a dynamic textbook-style format for self-study purposes. The second is a presentation-style format for tutors to use in live tutoring sessions so that we have prepared, structured lessons for almost every subject. We believe this can up-level the experience across millions of tutoring sessions each year.

We extended adaptive diagnostics, quizzes, full-length practice tests, flashcards and the lessons I mentioned to those 200+ subjects and we’re weaving them together into what we’re calling a Study Plan. A study plan is a software-based way to track and plan activities over time in pursuit of a goal and can serve as the common system to help drive daily active usage and provide value before, during, and after tutoring sessions in pursuit of that long-term goal.

The importance of this work is not the volume of content alone. Every lesson, diagnostic question, quiz, worksheet, and activity is organized against a shared academic taxonomy. That structure allows a diagnostic to identify a skill gap, the Study Plan to recommend the appropriate next activity, and a tutor to use the same information when deciding what the Learner should do next.

The Study Plan brings together four elements that our product previously handled discretely: the Learner’s goal, the time available to reach it, the skills already mastered, and the combination of lessons, practice, diagnostics, and live tutoring most likely to produce progress. The same plan is visible to the student, the tutor, and within the Live Learning Platform during a tutoring session. It is now a core part of the Learning Membership experience and in August will be extended to 100% of tutoring relationships.

Historically, the tutoring session was often perceived as the product and the customer interactions could become quiet in between tutoring sessions. We are building a platform in which the Study Plan highlights all the different ways to learn a subject in between and during live tutoring sessions and where it can serve as the daily active drumbeat to engagement.

Our historical experience from 10+ million hours of live tutoring and many more practice activities is driving personalization and our approach to how we’re sequencing learning. That combination of Al and human expertise is what we mean by Al for HI^®.

Turning Product Progress into Growth

The same product infrastructure can support a more efficient acquisition and activation model. Historically, the vast majority of our customers converted via a telesales-assisted consultative sales process. Under the new model, learners can register online, better see and experience the platform, purchase a learning membership via a self-service checkout funnel. We believe this modern approach creates a substantially lower-cost, more scalable customer acquisition model while improving the customer experience.

In Closing

We are entering this back to school season as a more focused, lean company with higher quality products and a more efficient operating model which we believe positions us well for the year ahead.

Thank you for your continued support.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue In Line with Expectations - Revenue of $43.3 million was in line with our guidance range of $42 million to $44 million, and represented a decrease of 4% year-over-year from $45.3 million during the same period in 2025. Consistent with expectations, revenue decreased when compared to the prior year period due to lower Consumer and Institutional revenue. The decrease in Consumer revenue was primarily driven by a lower Active Member count, partially offset by higher ARPM. As we began to lap the price increases enacted in February 2025, the rate of ARPM growth moderated year-over-year.

Consumer Revenue - Consumer revenue recognized in the second quarter was $36.5 million and represented 84% of total Company revenue. As of June 30, 2026, ARPM was $366, a 5% increase year-over-year. As of June 30, 2026, there were 29.1 thousand Active Members, a 5% decrease year-over-year. This rate of decline has narrowed sequentially for four consecutive quarters, and we expect to return to positive growth by the end of 2026.

Gross Margin - Gross margin was 64.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a gross margin of 61.5% during the comparable period in 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower amortization of capitalized internal-use software as a result of a charge for the abandonment of capitalized internal-use software that occurred in Q4 2025, coupled with lower Expert costs when compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA Loss Improves Compared to Last Year; also In Line with Expectations - Net loss was $6.9 million in the second quarter versus a net loss of $12.0 million during the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, which were treated as an adjustment for non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. We reported a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, in line with our guidance of negative $2 million to breakeven. This compares to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million in the same period one year ago. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to guidance was driven by lower marketing spend, reduced variable staffing costs, and strong G&A cost control. These impacts were partially offset by higher Al costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to the prior year period was driven by reduced variable staffing costs, efficiency improvements, and strong cost control. These impacts were also partially offset by higher Al costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $38.4 million. With our cash on hand and the funding available under our term loan, we believe we have ample liquidity to fund operations and growth initiatives, as we execute toward free cash flow positive.

See pages 15 and 16 for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook

As discussed, we have made two decisions, both aimed at sharpening our focus on the core business.

First. we exited First Tutors. a small tutoring business in the United Kingdom. It is immaterial to our results. and the decision is about focus rather than economics. Second, we are shutting down Varsity Tutors for Schools to concentrate on Consumer – our core business, where the opportunity is significantly larger and where our resources and management bandwidth earn better returns. Together, these decisions simplify the Company and put our capital behind our highest-return assets. We expect that focus to show up in execution.

We expect to incur approximately $2 million to $4 million of exit-related costs, primarily in Q3.

With the Varsity Tutors for Schools exit, we are lowering our annual fixed cost run-rate by approximately $11 million.

The decision does have a near-term impact on our outlook, most notably on cash, and the guidance we are establishing today reflects that. Excluding the exit, our full year outlook is largely unchanged from our previously announced revenue, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and cash guidance.

Revenue Guidance

Adjusted EBITDA Guidance

As a reminder, the third quarter is seasonally our lowest revenue quarter, with our back-to-school cohort converting to revenue late in the third quarter and into the fourth.

We now expect to end the year with approximately $30 to $32 million of cash, inclusive of the $20 million drawn on our term loan, compared to our prior expectation of $40 to $45 million. The change is primarily due to the timing of VT4S collections and the expected costs of the wind-down. VT4S contracts were generally paid in advance and recognized as revenue over the following twelve months. Exiting ahead of its peak booking period reduces the cash collections and year-end cash balance assumptions embedded in our prior outlook. To be clear, the year-end cash balance change is not a reflection on changed economics of the Consumer business. rather the working capital cycle of the business we are exiting. Based on our current operating plan, we expect existing liquidity to fund the company through free-cash-flow breakeven.

Financial Discussion

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $43.3 million, a decrease of 4% from $45.3 million during the same period in 2025. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $92.0 million, a decrease of 1% from $92.9 million during the same period in 2025.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased when compared to the prior year period due to lower Consumer and Institutional revenue. The decrease in Consumer revenue was primarily driven by a lower Active Member count, partially offset by higher ARPM. As we began to lap the price increases enacted in February 2025, the rate of ARPM growth moderated year-over-year. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased slightly when compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower Institutional revenue. Consumer revenue was relatively flat year-over-year as a lower Active Member count was offset by higher ARPM, which was primarily a result of price increases enacted in February 2025. While both current year periods were impacted by a lower Active Member count when compared to the corresponding prior year periods, the rate of decline has narrowed sequentially for four consecutive quarters, and we expect to return to positive Active Member growth by the end of 2026.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit of $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $0.1 million or 1% compared to the same period in 2025. Gross profit of $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $4.8 million or 9% compared to the same period in 2025. Gross margin was 64.7% and 61.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gross margin was 65.5% and 59.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cost of revenue included amortization expense related to capitalized internal-use software of $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gross profit and gross margin improvements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were primarily driven by lower amortization of capitalized internal-use software as a result of a charge for the abandonment of capitalized internal-use software that occurred in Q4 2025, coupled with lower Expert costs when compared to the corresponding prior year periods.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 on a GAAP basis were $11.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from $13.5 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation and restructuring costs, sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $11.3 million, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to $13.2 million in the same period in 2025. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 on a GAAP basis were $25.7 million, a decrease of $3.6 million from $29.3 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation and restructuring costs, sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $25.2 million, a decrease of $3.3 million compared to $28.5 million in the same period in 2025. These decreases were driven by Al-enabled productivity gains and reduced investment in our Institutional business.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include compensation for certain employees, support services, product and development expenses intended to support innovation, and other operating expenses. Product and development costs were $9.7 million and $10.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Product and development costs were $18.9 million and $21.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Product and development costs include compensation for employees on our product and engineering teams who are responsible for developing new and improving existing offerings, maintaining our website, improving efficiencies across our organization, and third-party expenses.

GeneraI and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 on a GAAP basis were $22.9 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from $26.6 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $18.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to $19.4 million in the same period in 2025. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, on a GAAP basis were $46.8 million, a decrease of $8.2 million from $55.0 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $36.6 million, a decrease of $3.5 million compared to $40.1 million in the same period in 2025. We are applying Al systematically across the tech stack, helping drive continued cost reductions and improved unit economics.

Net Loss, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss, and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Loss)

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, versus a net loss of $12.0 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $4.5 million in the same period in 2025. Net loss on a GAAP basis was $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus a net loss of $28.2 million in the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $12.4 million in the same period in 2025.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, beating our guidance of negative $2.0 million to breakeven, and compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million in the same period in 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.1 million in the same period in 2025.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to guidance was driven by lower marketing spend, reduced variable staffing costs, and strong G&A cost control. These impacts were partially offset by higher Al costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to the prior year periods were driven by reduced variable staffing costs, efficiency improvements, and strong cost control. These impacts were also partially offset by higher Al costs.

See pages 15 and 16 for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $38.4 million. With our cash on hand and the funding available under our term loan, we believe we have ample liquidity to fund operations and growth initiatives.

Key Operating Metrics

We monitor the following key operating metrics, among others, to evaluate the performance of our business.

Active Members is defined as the number of Learners with a paid active Learning Membership as of the date presented. Variations in the number of Active Members are due to changes in demand for our solutions, seasonality, testing schedules, and the launch of new Learning Membership options. As a result, Active Members is a key indicator of our ability to attract, engage and retain Learners. Active Members exclude our Institutional business. While our Active Member count as of June 30, 2026, was lower when compared to June 30, 2025, the rate of decline has narrowed sequentially for four consecutive quarters and we believe the recent rollout and continued advancement of our new Learner and Expert platform user experiences will result in positive growth by the end of 2026.

ARPM is defined as the average Consumer Learning Membership subscription revenue per member per month as of the date presented. Variations in ARPM are primarily due to changes in the mix of Learning Memberships sold and pricing changes. We believe ARPM is a key indicator of the value we provide to our customers. ARPM excludes our Institutional business. ARPM as of June 30, 2026, was higher when compared to June 30, 2025, primarily driven by price increases enacted in February 2025.

Active Experts is defined as the number of Experts who have instructed one or more sessions in a given period. Active Experts include our Institutional business. Our Active Expert count during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased when compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower Consumer Active Experts as a result of our Expert incentives, which has promoted utilization of the highest quality Experts by encouraging them to work with more Learners and develop deeper relationships that allow for increased revenue-generating opportunities. We believe our Active Expert count at June 30, 2026, is sufficient to meet our near-term growth objectives.

KEY OPERATING METRICS

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP adjusted net earnings (loss), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (loss), and non-GAAP free cash flow.

Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses exclude non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses exclude non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP adjusted net earnings (loss) is defined as net income or net loss, as applicable, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (loss) is defined as net income or net loss, as applicable, before interest expense, income, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.

Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries and benefits for our employees engaged in our consultative sales process. General and administrative expenses are recorded in the period in which they are incurred and include salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for certain employees as well as support services, product development, finance, legal, human resources, other administrative employees, information technology expenses, outside services, legal and accounting services, depreciation expense, and other costs required to support our operations.

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the treasury stock and “if-converted” methods, as applicable.

Non-GAAP measures are in addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales, net income, operating income, cash flows from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, trends, and to compare it against the performance of other companies. There are, however, a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents.

See the tables above regarding reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Annualized run-rate is defined as the number of Active Members at the end of the period multiplied by average revenue per Learning Membership per month multiplied by twelve months. This recurring revenue customer base provides us with increased forecasting visibility into future periods.

Bookings represent contracted amounts during the period for Varsity Tutors for Schools.

Management and our board of directors use these metrics as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these metrics for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business and the capital expenditures required for that expansion.

Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (loss), non-GAAP adjusted net income or loss, and non-GAAP free cash flow should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net earnings (loss), revenue, cash flows or other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe these metrics are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP metrics is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business. These non-GAAP metrics should not be construed as an implication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (loss) guidance for future periods to net loss, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (loss) cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude for gains or losses on stock-based compensation without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, net income or loss in the future. See the tables above regarding reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for historical periods.

Exhibit 99.2

Nerdy Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Nerdy delivers second quarter results in line with guidance, improving non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin by approximately 400 basis points year-over-year and narrowing the year-over-year decline in Active Members for a fourth consecutive quarter.

St. Louis, August 6, 2026 – Nerdy Inc. (NYSE: NRDY) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Our second quarter results reflect the continued execution of our strategy,” said Chuck Cohn, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Nerdy. “We’ve connected tutoring, content, and progress tracking into a single Study Plan experience, and early signals as we head into back-to-school season are encouraging. We remain committed to returning to Active Member growth and sustained profitability by the end of 2026.”

Please visit the Nerdy investor relations website https://www.nerdy.com/investors to view the Nerdy Q2 Shareholder Letter on the Quarterly Results Page.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights:

Revenue In Line with Expectations – Revenue of $43.3 million was in line with our guidance range of $42 million to $44 million, and represented a decrease of 4% year-over-year from $45.3 million during the same period in 2025. Consistent with expectations, revenue decreased when compared to the prior year period due to lower Consumer and Institutional revenue. The decrease in Consumer revenue was primarily driven by a lower Active Member count, partially offset by higher ARPM. As we began to lap the price increases enacted in February 2025, the rate of ARPM growth moderated year-over-year.

Consumer Revenue – Consumer revenue recognized in the second quarter was $36.5 million and represented 84% of total Company revenue. As of June 30, 2026, ARPM was $366, a 5% increase year-over-year. As of June 30, 2026, there were 29.1 thousand Active Members, a 5% decrease year-over-year. This rate of decline has narrowed sequentially for four consecutive quarters, and we expect to return to positive growth by the end of 2026.

Gross Margin – Gross margin was 64.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a gross margin of 61.5% during the comparable period in 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower amortization of capitalized internal-use software as a result of a charge for the abandonment of capitalized internal-use software that occurred in Q4 2025, coupled with lower Expert costs when compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA Loss Improves Compared to Last Year; also In Line with Expectations – Net loss was $6.9 million in the second quarter versus a net loss of $12.0 million during the same period in 2025. Excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses and restructuring costs, which were treated as an adjustment for non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. We reported a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, in line with our guidance of negative $2 million to breakeven. This compares to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million in the same period one year ago. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to guidance was driven by lower marketing spend, reduced variable staffing costs, and strong G&A cost control. These impacts were partially offset by higher AI costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA performance relative to the prior year period was driven by reduced variable staffing costs, efficiency improvements, and strong cost control. These impacts were also partially offset by higher AI costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $38.4 million. With our cash on hand and the funding available under our term loan, we

believe we have ample liquidity to fund operations and growth initiatives, as we execute toward free cash flow positive.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook: We have made two decisions, both aimed at sharpening our focus on the core business. First, we exited First Tutors, a small tutoring business in the United Kingdom. It is immaterial to our results, and the decision is about focus rather than economics. Second, we are shutting down Varsity Tutors for Schools (“VT4S”) to concentrate on Consumer — our core business, where the opportunity is significantly larger and where our resources and management bandwidth earn better returns. Together, these decisions simplify the Company and put our capital behind our highest-return assets. We expect that focus to show up in execution. We expect to incur approximately $2 million to $4 million of exit-related costs, primarily in Q3. The decision does have a near-term impact on our outlook, most notably on cash, and the guidance we are establishing today reflects that. Excluding the exit, our full year outlook is largely unchanged from our previously announced revenue, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and cash guidance.
