Background

On September 4, 2024, our Board of Directors approved and, by written consent dated September 5, 2024, the holders of a majority of our common stock approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from RDE, Inc. to Giftify, Inc. The change to Giftify, Inc. became effective on October 28, 2024. All references to RDE, Inc. have been changed to Giftify, Inc.

On August 6, 2024, The Nasdaq Stock Market granted our application for listing on the Nasdaq.

On May 29, 2025, the Company acquired Takeout7 Inc. Takeout7 is a restaurant technology company offering comprehensive online ordering solutions through its TakeOut7 platform and AI-powered digital marketing services through its Platr platform. The acquisition of Takeout7 expands the Company's technology offerings to include end-to-end solutions for independent restaurants. In early 2026, Takeout7 and its operations were merged into our subsidiary, Restaurant.com, Inc.

On August 18, 2023, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire CardCash Exchange, Inc. ("CardCash"). On December 29, 2023, the merger was completed and accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method. CardCash was formed in 2013 and purchases merchant gift cards and resells them at a markup.

On March 1, 2020, we acquired the assets of Restaurant.com, Inc., a pioneer in the restaurant deal space and the nation's largest restaurant-focused digital deals brand.

How We Measure Our Business

We use operating metrics to assess our business's progress and make strategic decisions. Certain financial metrics are reported in accordance with GAAP, and others are non-GAAP financial measures. As our business evolves, we may update the key financial and operating metrics we use to measure our performance. For further information and reconciliations to the most applicable financial measures under GAAP, refer to our discussion under the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section.

Operating Metrics

●

Gross billings are the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services. Gross billings are presented net of customer refunds and order discounts. A significant portion of our revenue consists of sales of discounted merchant gift cards, in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion to the third-party suppliers who will provide the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differ from Net Sales reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price. Gross billings are an indicator of our growth and business performance, as they measure the dollar volume of transactions generated through our marketplaces. Tracking gross billings also allows us to monitor the percentage of gross billings we retain after merchant payments.

A reconciliation of our net sales (as reported) to our gross billings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2026				2025				Change %				2026				2025				Change %
Net sales (as reported)		$	22,323,212			$	18,783,908				18.8	%		$	65,427,640			$	61,961,652				5.6	%
Company costs of Agent Transactions (see discussion below)			23,450,720				20,302,632				15.5	%			70,897,741				49,216,416				44.1	%
Gross billings		$	45,773,932			$	39,086,540				17.1	%		$	136,325,381			$	111,178,068				22.6	%

Inflation

The Iran, Russia and Ukraine conflicts and other geopolitical conflicts, as well as related international response, have exacerbated inflationary pressures, including causing increases in the price for goods and services and global supply chain disruptions, which have resulted and may continue to result in shortages in food products, materials and services. Such shortages have resulted and may continue to result in inflationary cost increases for labor, fuel, food products, materials and services, and could continue to cause costs to increase as well as result in the scarcity of certain materials. We cannot predict future trends in inflation or other negative economic factors, or the associated changes in our operating costs, and how these may impact our business. To the extent we and the restaurant customers we service are unable to recover higher operating costs resulting from inflation or otherwise mitigate the impact of such costs on our and their business, our revenues and gross profit could decrease, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Going Concern

The Company has a history of reporting net losses. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $3,945,212 in cash available to fund its operations, including expansion plans, and to service its debt, and working capital of $631,754.

Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows in 2025 and 2024. We have financed our working capital requirements through borrowings from various sources and the sale of our equity securities.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months beyond the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, includes an explanatory paragraph regarding the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its business activities and ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability.

As market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company's ability to secure additional funds, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, as and when necessary to continue to conduct operations. There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the inflationary pressure may have on the Company's business plans and the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.

If the Company is unable to obtain the cash resources necessary to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company could be required to scale back its business activities or to discontinue its operations entirely.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Based on the Company's business model, it is sometimes necessary to determine whether we are acting as a principal or an agent in revenue-generating arrangements.

Deciding whether the Company is a principal or an agent requires significant judgment and analysis. This is particularly true when evaluating factors such as responsibility for fulfilling the customer promise, inventory risk, and pricing discretion. Changes in the assessment of these indicators could materially impact reported revenue and related metrics. The Company continuously evaluates our judgments and estimates to ensure accurate revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606.

The following table reconciles the recording of the Company's gross vs. net transactions to the Company's reported net sales.

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2026				2025				2026				2025
Gross revenue (Principal Transactions)		$	20,791,306			$	17,452,759			$	60,646,759			$	58,491,130
Net revenue (Agent Transactions)			1,531,906				1,331,149				4,780,881				3,470,522
Net Sales		$	22,323,212			$	18,783,908			$	65,427,640			$	61,961,652

Net revenue recognized as agent increased $200,757, or 15.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. Net revenue recognized as agent increased $1,310,359, or 37.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. The increase over the prior year period was from the sale of cruise-line-related gift cards, fluctuations in the types of gift cards sold, and changes in the number of customer orders in which the Company acted as an agent.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2026, Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025

Operating Metrics

Our gross billings for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
		2026				2025				Change %
Gross billings		$	45,773,932			$	39,086,540				17.1	%

Gross billings increased 17.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. A significant portion of our revenue comes from discounted merchant gift card sales, in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion to third-party suppliers of the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differ from the Net Sales reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which reflect only the fees and commissions we retain from the sale of discounted merchant gift cards.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were $22,323,212 and $18,783,908, respectively, an increase of 18.8%. The increase in net sales was due to the change in the mix of agent versus principal transactions as discussed above. Merchant gift card sales accounted for approximately 98% and 97% of our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost to purchase merchant gift cards. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $17,951,295 and $15,036,367, respectively. Gross profit increased $624,376, or 16.7%, as compared to the prior year period. Our gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.6% and 20.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our gross margin was impacted by the increase in net revenue (agent transactions) described above, compared with the prior-year period.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of costs incurred to identify, communicate with, and evaluate potential customers and related business opportunities; compensation to officers and directors; legal and other professional fees; lease expense; and other general corporate expenses. Management expects selling, general, and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as the Company adds personnel and incurs additional costs related to its operation as a public company, including higher legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, compensation, and other costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $5,323,331 and $5,489,115, respectively, a decrease of $165,783. The decrease was due to a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $624,035, offset by increased employee compensation, legal and professional fees, and other general expenses to support our business.

Amortization of capitalized software costs.

Amortization of capitalized software costs is primarily attributed to the Company's capitalized software development costs. Amortization expenses were $78,170 and $160,745 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Amortization of intangible assets.

Amortization of intangible assets is attributable to the Company's amortization of intangible assets with finite lives. Amortization expenses were $563,847 and $585,349 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Loss from Operations

We incurred a loss from operations of $1,593,431 and $2,487,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in loss from operations was due to our increased gross profit and decreased stock-based compensation expense, as discussed above.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net was $89,103 and $94,654 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and is comprised of interest expense, net of interest income and other income. The decrease in interest expense, net was due to our decreased debt balances.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $175,432 and $144,860, respectively.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $1,507,102 and $2,437,462, respectively. The decrease in net loss was driven by higher gross profit, lower stock-based compensation expense, and lower interest expense, as discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Modified EBITDA

In addition to our GAAP results, we present Modified EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure. However, Modified EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Modified EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and fair value of common stock issued for services.

Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit-generating operations during that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Modified EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Modified EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net loss to Modified EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (unaudited):

		Three Months Ended September 30, 2026				Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
Net Loss		$	(1,507,102	)		$	(2,437,462	)
Modified EBITDA adjustments:
Income taxes			(175,432	)			(144,860	)
Interest expense, net			115,848				133,195
Other income			(26,746	)			(38,540	)
Amortization of intangible assets			563,847				585,349
Amortization of capitalized software costs			78,170				160,745
Stock option and other noncash compensation			849,030				1,473,065
Total Modified EBITDA adjustments			1,404,717				2,168,954
Modified EBITDA		$	(102,386	)		$	(268,508	)

We present Modified EBITDA because we believe it helps investors and analysts compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Modified EBITDA to develop our internal budgets, forecasts, and strategic plan; to analyze the effectiveness of our business strategies and evaluate potential acquisitions; to make compensation decisions; and to communicate with our board of directors regarding our financial performance. Modified EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which include, among others, the following:

	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and
	●	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Modified EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Operating Metrics

Our gross billings for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2026				2025				Change %
Gross billings		$	136,325,381			$	111,178,068				22.6	%

Gross billings increased 22.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period. A significant portion of our revenue transactions are comprised of sales of discounted merchant gift cards in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion of the transaction price to the third-party suppliers who provide the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differ from Net Sales reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations.

Net Sales

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were $65,427,640 and $61,961,652, respectively, an increase of 5.6%. Merchant gift card sales accounted for approximately 98% and 98% of our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost to purchase merchant gift cards. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $52,406,840 and $50,776,850, respectively. Gross profit increased $1,835,998, or 16.4%, as compared to the prior year period. Our gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.9% and 18.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our gross margin was positively impacted by the increase in net revenue (agent transactions), as described above, as compared to the prior year period.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs incurred to identify, communicate with and evaluate potential customers and related business opportunities, and compensation to officers and directors, as well as legal and other professional fees, lease expense, and other general corporate expenses. Management expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as the Company adds personnel and incurs additional costs related to its operation as a public company, including higher legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, compensation and other costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16,475,240 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $17,247,499 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $772,258. The decrease was due to a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $2,137,816 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, offset by increased payroll and benefits expenses, marketing and advertising costs, and other general expenses to support our business.

Amortization of capitalized software costs.

Amortization expenses are primarily attributed to the Company's capitalized software development costs. Amortization expenses were $367,907 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $483,832 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Loss from Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,514,384, as compared to a loss from operations of $8,232,857 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in loss from operations was due to our increased gross profit and decreased stock-based compensation expense as discussed above.

Other Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred interest expense, net of $340,708, as compared to interest expense, net of $484,362 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in interest expense was due to our decreased debt balances. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized other income of $26,746, as compared to other income of $38,540, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Income Tax Benefit

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we realized an income tax benefit of $429,784 as compared to an income tax benefit of $434,076 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The decrease in net loss was due to our increased gross profit, decreased stock-based compensation expense, decreased interest expense, and an income tax benefit, as discussed above.

Modified EBITDA

In addition to our GAAP results, we present Modified EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Modified EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

We present Modified EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Modified EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; making compensation decisions; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Modified EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which include, among others, the following:

	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

	●	Modified EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and
	●	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Modified EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,398,562 and used cash in operations of $1,033,604. Cash used in operations was primarily for working capital.

Historically, we have financed our operations through existing cash balances, public and private issuance of common stock, term loans and credit lines from financial institutions.

As of the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management expects that the Company's existing cash of $3,945,212 might be insufficient to meet its cash requirements for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To alleviate any funding considerations, management periodically evaluates various funding alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, strategic transactions, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry.

We are also continuing to take actions to improve the Company's operating performance and cash generated from operations, including product optimization, implementing strategies to increase sales, streamlining operations, negotiating equitable vendor contracts, and managing product price. However, we may be unsuccessful in executing these actions in a timely manner or at all.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary or otherwise improve its operating performance or generation of cash from operations, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail certain of its operations until such time as additional capital becomes available.

Our consolidated statements of cash flows as discussed herein are presented below.

		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026				Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(1,033,604	)		$	(496,067	)
Net cash provided by investing activities			-				109,543
Net cash provided by financing activities			1,323,872				105,909
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	290,268			$	(280,615	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by or used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including amortization of intangible assets, and the fair value of common stock issued for directors, employees, and service providers, and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1,033,604 and consisted of our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, including amortization of intangible assets, the fair value of vested stock options, common stock issued to executives, employees, and advisors, and routine changes in working capital and other activities.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $496,067 and consisted of our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, including amortization of intangible assets, the fair value of vested stock options, common stock issued to executives, employees, and advisors, and routine changes in working capital and other activities.

Investing Activities

The Company had no investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $109,543, which was from cash received on an acquisition.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1,323,872, which was from aggregate proceeds of $1,423,593 on the sale of common stock, offset by repayment of our line of credit balance of $90,003, and repayment of our notes payable of $9,718.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $105,909, which was from proceeds of $3,058,577 on the sale of common stock, net proceeds of $985,000 from a note payable, offset by repayment of our line of credit balance of $1,111,345, and repayment of our notes payable of $2,826,323.

Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We have financed our working capital requirements through borrowings from various sources and the sale of equity securities.

We have a history of reporting net losses. At September 30, 2026, we had cash of $3,945,212 available to fund our operations, including expansion plans, and to service our debt, and a working capital of $631,754. We expect that our existing cash of $3,945,212 may be insufficient to meet our cash requirements for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report with respect to this uncertainty that accompanies the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its business activities and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability.

As market conditions present uncertainty as to our ability to secure additional funds, there can be no assurances that we will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, as and when necessary, to continue to conduct operations. There is also significant uncertainty as to the amount and type of financing available to us in the future.

If we are unable to obtain the cash resources necessary to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements, we could be required to scale back our business activities or to discontinue our operations entirely.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 presented elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of the Company's financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the Company's control. As a result, these issues are inherently uncertain. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to select the appropriate assumptions for certain estimates. Those estimates are based on the Company's historical operations, the future business plans and the projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $20,007,670 arose from the acquisition of CardCash and represented approximately 67% of the Company's total assets at September 30, 2026. The Company has one reporting unit. It tests goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. Because the Company's common stock is publicly traded, management considers the Company's market capitalization to be a key indicator of the fair value of the reporting unit.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company's stock price declined. Based on the September 30, 2026 closing price of $0.4887, the Company's market capitalization was approximately $17.7 million, which was below the $21.1 million carrying amount of its stockholders' equity. However, based on the average closing price of $0.63 for the ten trading days ended September 30, 2026, the Company's market capitalization was approximately $22.8 million, which was above that carrying amount. The Company's market capitalization equals the carrying amount of its stockholders' equity at a share price of approximately $0.58. Each $0.10 change in the share price changes market capitalization by approximately $3.6 million.

After assessing the decline, in conjunction with the going concern conditions described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, management concluded that a quantitative impairment test was not required at September 30, 2026, and no impairment of goodwill was recognized. This assessment required significant judgment, including the period over which the stock price was averaged and the weight given to the Company's operating results and outlook.

If the Company's stock price declines below approximately $0.58 per share for a sustained period, or if the Company does not achieve its projected results, the Company may be required to recognize a goodwill impairment charge, which could be material, including in connection with its annual impairment test as of December 31, 2026.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company buys merchant gift cards from the general public and distributors at a discount and then resells them at a markup. The Company also generates revenue from the sale of discount certificates for third-party restaurants, online restaurant ordering fees, and monthly subscription fees for its restaurant marketing platform. Lastly, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Restaurant.com promotional gift cards (revenue recognized based on the Company's historical redemption rates of its promotional gift cards), the sale of travel, vacation, and merchandise on behalf of third-party merchants (revenue reported on a net basis equal to the purchase price received from the customer less a portion of the purchase price paid by the Company to its merchant partners), and advertising revenue for third-party partners, such as Google Ads, wherein third-party website(s) and/or product(s) are shown or incorporated in the Company's platform or website (revenue recognized when it is determinable, which is generally upon receipt of a statement and/or proceeds from the third-party partners).

Certain customers may receive incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Provisions for sales returns are recognized in the period in which the sales are recorded, based on the Company's prior experience and current trends. These revenue reductions are established by the Company based on management's best estimates at the time of sale, using historical trends, and are adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact such reserves and allowances and the terms of customer agreements.

Amounts billed and due from the Company's customers are classified as accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts received in advance from customers are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet until the performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not assess contracts for significant financing components because the period between the receipt of advance payment and the Company's transfer of services to the customer is less than one year.

It is necessary to determine whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in revenue-generating arrangements.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

	●	Principal: In a principal transaction, the Company controls the specified good or service before transferring it to the customer. This means the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the obligation directly to the customer, bears inventory risk, including the risk of fraud/invalid card (if applicable), and has discretion in setting the price. In such cases, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. This means recording the total amount of consideration received from the customer as revenue, with a corresponding cost for any amount paid to other parties involved in providing the goods or services.
	●	Agent: As an agent, the Company does not control discounted gift cards; its role is to arrange for its distributors to deliver them to our customers. In these instances, revenue is recognized on a net basis. This reflects only the fee or commission the Company retains from the transaction.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues share-based awards to employees, non-employees, and consultants for services rendered. Stock options vest and expire according to the terms established at the grant's issuance date. Stock grants are measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and is generally recognized as an expense in the statement of operations ratably over the requisite service period or vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees occurs in the same period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

Acquisitions and Business Combinations

The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, particularly regarding intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired technology, trademarks, and trade names, useful lives, and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
