Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2023. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2023, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American Well Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Well Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition - Platform Subscription and Visits
As described in Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company generates revenue primarily from contracts with clients who purchase subscriptions to access the Company’s enterprise software. Clients can also purchase access to the Company’s co-branded digital care practice hosted on the Company’s shared services platform. The Company also generates revenue when either the enterprise digital care platform or the shared services platform is utilized to conduct a medical visit. The Company’s revenue for platform subscription and visits was $231.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition for platform subscription and visits is a critical audit matter are a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to accuracy and occurrence of revenue transactions.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to revenue recognition, including controls over the accuracy and occurrence of revenue transactions. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the accuracy and occurrence of a sample of revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents, including sales contracts, project access approvals, medical records and cash receipts from customers, when applicable.

AMERICAN WELL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Description of Business
American Well Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in June 2006. The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company is a leading enterprise platform and software company that enables the digital distribution and delivery of care for healthcare’s key stakeholders. The Company’s scalable technology is deployed at the enterprise level of clients, embeds into existing offerings and workflows, spans the continuum of care and enables the delivery of this care across a wide variety of clinical, retail, school and home settings.
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies of a similar size in the high technology industry, including, but not limited to, uncertainty of progress in developing technologies, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, uncertainty of market acceptance of digital care and the need for additional financing.
Acquisitions
On August 9, 2021 and August 27, 2021, the Company completed the acquisitions of Conversa Health, Inc. (“Conversa”) and SilverCloud Health Holdings, Inc. (“SilverCloud”), respectively (together, the “Acquisitions”). Conversa is a leader in automated virtual healthcare. SilverCloud is a leading digital mental health platform. See Note 8 “Business Combinations”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Through December 31, 2023, the Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the initial public offering, the sales of convertible preferred stock and revenue from clients who purchase access to the enterprise platform and software as a service. On September 21, 2020 the Company closed on the initial public offering raising $822,267 in gross proceeds. On September 21, 2020 the Company closed on a private placement with Google raising $100,000 in gross proceeds. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring losses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,757,778. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of American Well Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, those of professional corporations, which represent variable interest entities in which American Well has an interest and is the primary beneficiary (“PC”) (see Note 4) and National Telehealth Network (“NTN”), an entity in which American Well controls fifty percent or more of the voting shares (see Note 5). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
For consolidated entities where American Well owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in each entity by the respective non-controlling party. The noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the estimated customer relationship period that is used in the amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, the useful lives of intangible assets, capitalization of software development costs and the valuation of share awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the global economy and financial markets have been disrupted and there is a significant amount of uncertainty about the length and severity of the consequences caused by the pandemic. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and has not experienced any significant impact to its estimates and assumptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On an ongoing basis, the Company will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 impact on its estimates and assumptions.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company determines the functional currency of each subsidiary based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. Items included in the financial statements of such subsidiaries are measured using that functional currency.
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and foreign currency denominated nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement and settlements are included in interest income and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company’s gains (losses) from foreign currency remeasurement and settlement were $(11), $(377) and $445.
Segment Information
The Company’s chief operating decision makers (CODMs), its two Chief Executive Officers, review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. In addition, substantially all of the Company’s revenue and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has any variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). These evaluations are complex and involve judgment. If the Company determines that an entity in which it holds a contractual or ownership interest is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entity in its consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Management performs ongoing reassessments of whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE will cause the consolidation conclusion to change. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Clients
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash with large financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly rated money market funds. At times the Company’s cash balances with individual banking institutions are in excess of federally insured limits. The Company’s investments are invested in U.S. government agency bonds. The Company has not experienced any losses on
its deposits of cash, cash equivalents or investments. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
The Company performs ongoing assessments and credit evaluations of its clients to assess the collectability of the accounts based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience, age of the accounts receivable, review of the invoicing terms of the contracts, and recent communication with clients. The Company has not experienced significant credit losses from its accounts receivable.
As of December 31, 2023 one client accounted for 40% of outstanding accounts receivable and as of December 31, 2022 two client each accounted for 18% of outstanding accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, sales to one client (which was a related party during the 2021 period) represented 24%, 23% and 25% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company maintained letters of credit totaling $795 and $795, respectively, for the benefit of the landlord of its leased property and performance surety bonds. The Company has classified $795 and $795 as non-current on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Investments
The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total stockholders’ equity (deficit). The Company has classified its available-for-sale investments as current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as these investments generally consist of highly marketable securities that are identified to be available to meet near-term cash requirements.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are based on the specific identification method and are included as a component of interest income and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company periodically evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary impairment. When assessing investments for other-than-temporary declines in value, the Company considers such factors as, among other things, how significant the decline in value is as a percentage of the original cost, how long the market value of the investment has been less than its original cost, the Company’s ability and intent to retain investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and market conditions in general. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that the Company considers to be “other than temporary,” the Company reduces the investment through a charge to the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no investments that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts billed currently due from clients. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, the Company makes judgments about general economic conditions, historical write-off experience and any specific risks identified in client collection matters, including the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in client financial conditions. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Inventories
The Company values all of its inventories, which consist primarily of raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets. Computer equipment is depreciated over three to four years. Computer software, furniture and fixtures and office equipment are depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Application of this method of accounting requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed generally be measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the allocation of the purchase price requires management to use judgment and estimates with regards to the selection of valuation methodologies, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing certain identifiable assets include, but are not limited to, significant assumptions related to estimates of future revenue and cash flows, expected long-term market growth, expected revenue growth rates, future expected operating expenses, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin, 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, the Company may record certain adjustments to the carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could last up to one year after the transaction date, all adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Goodwill
The Company recognizes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on November 30 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. These events include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization, as indicated by the Company’s publicly quoted share price, below our net book value. Our goodwill impairment tests are performed at the enterprise level given our single reporting unit.
When testing goodwill for impairment, we have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that carrying value exceeds its fair value, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if our reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, we will record an impairment charge based on that difference. A charge is reported as impairment of goodwill in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In the year ended December 31, 2023 there was a full impairment of the goodwill balance. For details associated with the Company's goodwill impairment, see Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods deemed appropriate for the type of intangible asset acquired and reported net of accumulated amortization,
separately from goodwill. Finite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of customer relationships, contractor relationships, technology and trade name, are stated at historical cost and amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are re-evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their estimated useful lives may require revision and/or the carrying value of the related asset group may not be recoverable by its projected undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of the asset group is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment charge would be recognized in an amount equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company concluded there was a triggering event and a recoverability test for intangible assets was performed. No impairment was identified as result of the recoverability test. For details associated with the Company's impairment recovery test, see Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets, among others. When testing for asset impairment, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than the asset’s carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment losses on long-lived assets. No impairments were identified during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Investment in Minority Owned Joint Venture
The Company and Cleveland Clinic partnered to form a joint venture, under the name CCAW, JV LLC, to provide broad access to comprehensive and high acuity care services via digital care. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in CCAW, JV LLC, but it does have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of CCAW, JV LsLC. Therefore, the Company accounts for its investment in CCAW, JV LLC using the equity method of accounting. The joint venture is considered a variable interest entity under ASC 810-10, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact its performance. The Company’s evaluation of ability to impact performance is based on Cleveland Clinic’s managing directors and Cleveland Clinic’s ability to appoint and remove the chairperson who has the ability to cast the tie breaking vote on the most significant activities.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company contributed $2,940 as its initial investment for a 49% interest in CCAW, JV LLC. The agreement also requires aggregate total capital contributions by the Company up to an additional $11,800 in two phases, which is yet to be defined. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company made a capital contribution of $3,920, $1,960 and $2,548 related to a portion of the phase one capital commitment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $2,590, $2,278 and $3,132 as its proportionate share of the joint ventures results of operations, respectively. Accordingly, the carrying value of the equity method investment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,180 and $(150), respectively. As the share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the carrying amount as of December 31, 2022 it is included in the balance of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s advertising expenses were $5,508, $6,607 and $5,604, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other expenses associated with product development.
Internal-Use Software
The Company evaluates development costs incurred to develop functionality in connection with its internal-use software for capitalization. Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and performed as intended. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software costs are included in intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheet for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. There were no impairment charges related to capitalized software development costs during 2023. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three to five years.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Generally, the Company issues stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance-based market condition share awards ("PSU's") to employees. Stock options and RSUs only have service-based vesting conditions and the Company records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method. Stock option awards and restricted stock units issued to the co-CEOs prior to the IPO or as a result of the IPO (“IPO RSUs”) were expensed when granted as the requisite future service of the awards is not substantive for accounting purposes. PSUs have multiple tranches each with certain market capitalization milestones and service-based vesting conditions and the Company records the expense for these awards over the estimated life of each tranche.
The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award’s recipient’s payroll costs are classified.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of awards that are expected to vest. In developing a forfeiture rate estimate, the Company has considered its historical experience to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures for service-based awards. The impact of a forfeiture rate adjustment will be recognized in full in the period of adjustment, and if the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the Company’s estimate, the Company may be required to record adjustments to stock-based compensation expense in future periods.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The restricted stock units issued to the co-CEOs as a result of the IPO had the fair value estimated using a binomial lattice approach. The Company historically had been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The fair value of the PSUs is estimated using a Monte-Carlo valuation simulation. Similar to stock options, the Company estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs
The Company capitalizes sales commissions and certain parts of the Company bonus that are incremental to the acquisition of client contracts. These costs are recorded as deferred contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines whether costs should be deferred based on its sales compensation plans if the commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the client contract.
Sales commissions are paid upon the initial acquisition of a contract and are amortized over an estimated period of benefit of five years. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis commensurate with the pattern of revenue recognition. The Company determined the period of benefit for commissions paid for the acquisition of initial contracts by taking into consideration the commitment term of the client contract, the nature of the Company’s technology development life cycle, and an estimated client relationship period. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit of these deferred contract acquisition costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods presented.
Deferred Contract Fulfillment Costs
The Company capitalizes costs to fulfill contracts with clients in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets” on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company amortizes these costs to cost of revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss consistent with the revenue recognition of the performance obligations in the associated contracts. The Company assesses these costs for impairment at the end of each reporting period. There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods presented.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. The potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by considering taxable income in carryback years, existing taxable temporary differences, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and estimating the future taxable profits.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net losses attributable to common stockholders to reallocate undistributed earnings based on the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares.
The Company’s convertible preferred stock contractually entitles the holders of such shares to participate in dividends, but contractually does not require the holders of such shares to participate in losses of the Company. Accordingly, in periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued, as their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Revenue Recognition
Platform subscription
The Company generates revenue primarily from contracts with clients who purchase subscriptions to access the Company’s enterprise platform and software as a service which includes access to the Company’s affiliated medical group.
The Company’s clients do not have the right to take possession of the Company’s software operating its digital care platform at any time. Instead, clients are granted access to the Company’s platform over the contractual period. Access to the platform, including the stand ready obligation to provide access to the affiliated medical group, represents a series of distinct services as the Company continually provides access to and fulfills its obligation to the client over the contract term. The typical contract term is three years. Most of the Company’s contracts are non-cancelable over the contractual term. Clients typically have the right to terminate their contracts for cause if the Company fails to perform in accordance with the contractual terms.
For clients who purchase access to the enterprise platform and software as a service (the “Amwell Platform”), the Company hosts a dedicated instance of the Amwell Platform, white-labeled under the client’s own name, branding, and with customized workflows and operating choices. The implementation services for the Amwell Platform are not distinct within the context of the contract because the Company’s promise to perform the implementation services are not separately identifiable from the access to the Amwell Platform. The implementation services, which customize the client’s Amwell Platform, are integral to the client’s ability to derive its intended benefit from the Amwell Platform. The development and implementation services generally span several months and cannot be performed by another entity. Therefore, access to the Amwell Platform and the implementation services are bundled together and represent a single performance obligation. The fixed consideration related to the single performance obligation is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date access to the Amwell Platform is provided. The Company uses a time-elapsed method to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period.
Clients can also purchase access to the Company’s co-branded digital care practice hosted on the Company’s shared services platform (the “Amwell Practice”). The implementation services for the Amwell Practice do not significantly modify or customize the Amwell Practice, typically occur over a few days, and can be performed by other entities. Therefore, access to the Amwell Practice and the implementation services are separate outputs promised by the Company and represent two distinct performance obligations.
Clients may be billed prior to the related goods or services being transferred to the client. In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing component if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties in the contract provide the client a significant benefit of financing. The Company has applied the practical expedient and recognizes the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of goods or services to the client when the client pays for that good or service will be one year or less. As of December 31, 2023, the effect of the financing component is not significant and does not materially change the amount of revenue that would be recognized under a contract.
The total fixed consideration is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on standalone selling price (“SSP”) which reflects the amount that the Company charges for each performance obligation if it was sold separately in a standalone sale. The fixed consideration to access the Amwell Practice is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date access to the Amwell Practice is provided. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period. The fixed consideration related to the implementation services is recognized as the services are performed.
In addition to the fixed consideration received from the Amwell Platform and Amwell Practice, the Company can also receive variable consideration based on the number of members serviced (that is, a stated fee per member per month). The Company allocates the per member per month variable consideration to the month that the fee is earned, correlating with the amount of services it is providing, which is consistent with the allocation objective of the series guidance. Revenue recognized from the per member per month variable consideration does not represent a significant portion of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Some contracts with clients contain a renewal option which allows the client to continue access to the Amwell Platform for a stated price after the initial contractual term has ended. These renewal options are evaluated on a case-by-case basis but generally do not provide a material right as they are priced at or above the price for the same service that the Company offers to similar clients and, as such, would not result in a separate performance obligation.
Visits
The Company also generates revenue when either the Amwell Platform or the Amwell Practice is utilized to conduct a medical visit. In the event of a visit, the fee that is earned upon completion of the visit is allocated to the specific day of performance, as the visit fee meets the criteria to allocate variable consideration to a distinct service within a series of distinct services that comprise the single performance obligation. Therefore, visit fees are recognized when the visits are completed, and the Company has delivered on its stand-ready obligation to provide access to the medical professional.
In addition, clients can visit with the Company’s affiliated medical group without purchasing access to an Amwell Platform or Amwell Practice. These direct-to-consumer virtual care visits are available through the Company’s website where clients can conduct a visit with the Company’s affiliated medical group for a fixed fee. The Company’s affiliated medical group is responsible for fulfilling the promise to the client to perform the medical visit. The Company has discretion in establishing the price for the visit, is responsible for the resolution of any client issues, and is exposed to credit risk for the receivable due from the client. Therefore, the Company recognizes the visit fee on a gross basis upon completion of the visit.
Other
Other revenue primarily represents professional services associated with the Amwell Platform. After implementation of the Amwell Platform has been completed, some clients purchase other professional services, which are designed to help clients enhance their ability to use the Amwell Platform. For the majority of arrangements, the Company prices these professional services on a time and material basis, has standalone selling price for these services, and recognizes revenue as services are performed. Other revenue also includes sale of hardware products, such as the Company’s digital care carts and kiosks. Revenue from the sale of hardware products to clients is recognized upon the transfer of control, which occurs upon shipment of the product.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue includes amounts collected or billed in excess of revenue recognized. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as a current liability and the remaining portion is recorded as a noncurrent liability on the consolidated balance sheet.
Leases
The Company determines at the inception of a contract if such arrangement is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, but payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components may include maintenance, utilities, and other operating costs. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of fixed costs in its lease arrangements as a single lease component. Variable costs, such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but rather are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.
Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company determines the present value of future lease payments by using its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term as the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The Company estimates its secured incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term.
Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The amounts determined for the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities generally do not assume that renewal options or early-termination provisions, if any, are exercised, unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. The guidance was adopted effective July 1, 2021 and impacted the accounting of acquired deferred revenue for the Conversa and SilverCloud acquisitions that occurred in August 2021.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which includes amendments to improve reportable segment disclosures. For public entities that are Securities and Exchange Commission filers, ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes amendments to improve income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. For public entities that are Securities and Exchange Commission filers, ASU 2003-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
The Company has rights to consideration for services completed but not billed at the reporting date. Unbilled receivables are classified as receivables when the Company has the right to invoice the client. Unbilled receivables as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is $5,500 and $3,566, respectively, and has been included within accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include billings in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are recognized as revenue over the contractual period. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the
Company recognized revenue of $40,595, $56,595, and $56,473, respectively, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods presented.
The Company receives payments from clients based upon contractual billing schedules. The Company typically invoices its clients annually in advance for their annual software access fee. The Company records accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically net 30 days.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $217,736 and $166,855, respectively. The substantial majority of the unsatisfied performance obligations will be satisfied over the next three years. As it pertains to the December 31, 2023 amount, the Company expects to recognize 49% of the transaction price in the year ending December 31, 2024 in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss with the remainder recognized thereafter.
4. Variable Interest Entities
The Company provides services pursuant to contracts with PCs which in turn contracts with physicians to provide virtual care medical services. The PC’s collectively represent the Company’s affiliated medical group. The PCs were designed and structured to comply with the relevant laws and regulations governing professional medical practice, which generally prohibits the practice of medicine by lay persons or entities. To satisfy these regulatory requirements, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the PCs are owned by a licensed medical professional nominated by the Company (the “Nominee Shareholder”). Upon formation of the PCs, and initial issuance of equity interests, the Nominee Shareholder contributes a nominal amount of capital in exchange for their interest in the PC. The Company then executes with each PC a Business Support Agreement (“BSA”), which provide for various administrative and management services to be provided by the Company to the PC, and a Stock Transfer Agreement (“STA”), which provide for transition of ownership of the PCs.
The Company provides all of the necessary capital for the operations of the PCs through loans to the PCs. The Company also has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including contracting with clients who access the PCs for a medical visit, handling all financial transactions and day-to-day operations of each PC, overseeing the establishment of virtual care policies and protocol, and making recommendations to the PC in establishing the guidelines for the employment and compensation of the physicians and other employees of the PCs. In addition, the STA provides that the Company’s Board of Directors has the power and authority to change the Nominee Shareholder at any time for any reason, and designate a new Nominee Shareholder who will purchase the equity interests from the predecessor Nominee Shareholder for the same nominal amount, effectively limiting the Nominee Shareholder’s rights to returns of the PC. The Nominee Shareholders, notwithstanding their legal form of ownership of equity interests in the PC, have no substantive profit-sharing rights in the PCs.
Based upon the provisions of these agreements, the Company determined that the PCs are variable interest entities due to its equity holder having insufficient capital at risk, and the Company has a variable interest in the PCs. The Company consolidated the PCs under the VIE model since the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the PCs economic performance and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the PCs.
Furthermore, as a direct result of nominal initial equity contributions by the Nominee Shareholder, the financial support the Company provides to the PCs (e.g. loans) and the provisions of the STA, the interests held by noncontrolling interest holders lack economic substance and do not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the PCs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the PCs are allocated to the Company’s stockholders.
The aggregate carrying value of total assets and total liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheets for the PCs after elimination of intercompany transactions were $33,842 and $1,803, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 and $31,189 and $1,648, respectively as of December 31, 2022.
Total revenue included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the PCs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $72,349, $74,389 and $72,125 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net loss included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive was not material for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
5. National Telehealth Network
In 2012, the Company and an affiliate of Elevance Health, Inc. formed NTN to expand the availability and adoption of telemedicine. The Company did not have a controlling financial interest in NTN, but it had the ability to exercise significance influence over the operating and financial policies of NTN. Therefore, the Company accounted for its investment in NTN using the equity method of accounting through December 31, 2015.
On January 1, 2016, the Company made an additional investment in NTN, which increased its ownership percentage above 50%. The Company also obtained the right to elect the Chairman of NTN who has the ability to cast the tie-breaking vote in all decisions. Therefore, on January 1, 2016, the Company obtained control over NTN and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact NTN’s economic performance. This step-acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of the operations of NTN from January 1, 2016, have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, because the Company owns less than 100% of NTN, the Company recognizes net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the ownership interest retained in NTN by the respective non-controlling party.
The proportionate share of the loss attributed to the non-controlling interest amounted to $4,007, $1,643 and $448 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The carrying value of the non-controlling interest was $15,967, $19,974 and $21,617 as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
6. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The following tables presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s cash equivalents were invested in money market funds and were valued based on Level 1 inputs. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
The Company classified its net liability for contingent earnout considerations relating to the Acquisitions within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included the Monte Carlo method that uses key assumptions to model future revenue and costs of goods sold projections. A description of the Acquisitions is included within Note 8. The contingent earnout payments for each acquisition are based on the achievement of certain revenue and integration thresholds.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company experienced a triggering event, due to sustained decreases in the Company's publicly quoted share price and market capitalization, prompting impairment assessments of goodwill and long-lived assets including definite-lived intangibles. As such, the Company assessed the definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets for impairment by performing an undiscounted cash flow analysis to establish fair value. The significant estimates used in fair value methodology, which are based on Level 3 inputs, include the Company's expectations for future operations and projected cash flows, including revenue, gross margin and operating expenses. The assessment did not result in an impairment of definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, as they passed the recoverability test. No triggering events were identified in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Company also identified indicators of goodwill impairment for the single reporting unit which required an interim goodwill impairment assessment in each of the three quarters. In performing the quantitative assessment of goodwill, our reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value. The Company estimated the reporting unit's fair value based on its market capitalization and a related control premium of 30% (amount paid by a new controlling shareholder for the benefits resulting from synergies and other potential benefits derived from controlling the acquired company). The Company evaluates the implied control premium or discount by comparing it to control premiums or discounts of recent comparable market transactions, as applicable. As a result of the interim quantitative impairment assessments, the Company recorded $436,479 non-deductible, of non-cash goodwill impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2023. The goodwill balance as of December 31, 2023 is $0.

Shares of Class B and Class C common stock will be converted into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the occurrence of certain events. Shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert on the first business day (i) after the date on which the outstanding shares of Class B common stock constitutes less than 5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding, (ii) after the date on which neither founder is serving as an executive officer or (iii) following seven years after the date the amended and restate certificate of incorporation becomes effective, provided that, such period may, to the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, be extended for three years upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting separately as a class.

Restricted Stock Units with a Market Condition
In the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company granted performance-based market condition share awards to certain members of the Company’s management team (excluding the co-CEOs), which entitle these employees with the right to receive shares of common stock upon achievement of certain stock price milestones measured over a rolling thirty day trading-period, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable service vesting conditions. These performance-based market condition share awards consist of three tranches with three separate specified award values that become payable upon the achievement of certain stock price milestones, which can result in a vesting range of up to 2,654,598 shares. These performance-based market condition share awards have a performance period of three years.
As of December 31, 2023, 1,146,310 of the performance-based market condition share awards granted in the prior year have satisfied both the applicable market capitalization milestones and the service vesting conditions. None of the performance-based market condition share awards granted in 2023 have vested.
The total grant-date fair value of performance-based market condition share awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $5,805 and $63,157, respectively. No performance-based market condition share awards were granted during the year ended December 31, 2021.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company’s primary lease represents the lease for its corporate headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company modified the corporate headquarter lease during the third quarter of 2021. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $4,292. The carrying value of the Company’s right-of-use assets are substantially concentrated in real estate as the Company primarily leases office space. The Company’s policy is not to record leases with an original lease term of one year or less on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have any lease contracts with the option to purchase as of December 31, 2023.

15. Income Taxes
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company recorded an income tax (expense) benefit of $(3,860), $(64) and $5,376, respectively. The December 31, 2023 income tax provision is primarily due to foreign income taxes in Israel. The December 31, 2022 income tax provision is primarily due to foreign income taxes in Israel partially offset by losses in Ireland. The December 31, 2021 income tax benefit is primarily due to a partial release of valuation allowance in the U.S. resulting from the deferred tax liabilities established as part of the Acquisitions consummated during the year (see Note 8).
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s loss before income taxes is primarily generated in the United States as the pre-tax loss from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is not significant.
The components of our current and deferred portions of the provision for income taxes are presented in the table below:

| | As of December 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company's history of cumulative net losses incurred in the U.S. since inception and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the net domestic deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.
Changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 related primarily to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards in 2023, 2022 and 2021 and were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Years Ended December 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Valuation allowance as of beginning of the year | | $ | 214,776 | | | $ | 164,391 | | | $ | 118,795 | |
Increases recorded to income tax provision | | | 48,225 | | | | 50,403 | | | | 51,348 | |
Decreases recorded as a benefit to income tax provision | | | — | | | | (18 | ) | | | (5,752 | ) |
Valuation allowance as of end of year | | $ | 263,001 | | | $ | 214,776 | | | $ | 164,391 | |
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $865,981, which begin to expire in 2026. The Company’s federal net operating losses generated for the years ended after December 31, 2017, which amounted to a total of $636,756, can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has tax effected state net operating losses of approximately $41,847, which began to expire in 2024. In addition, the Company has federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $1,602 and $58, which begin to expire in 2027 and 2035, respectively.
Utilization of the Company's net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and research and development ("R&D") credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Section 382") as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and taxes, respectively. In general, an ownership change as defined by Section 382 results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. Since its formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions. These financings, combined with the purchasing shareholders' subsequent disposition of those shares, could result in a change of control as defined by Section 382. The Company conducted an analysis under Section 382 to determine if historical changes in ownership through December 31, 2021 would limit or otherwise restrict its ability to utilize its NOL and R&D credit carryforwards. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that $1,680 federal and $6,391 state net operating loss carryforwards generated through December 31, 2021 will expire unused. However, changes in ownership occurring after December 31, 2021, could affect the limitation in future years, and any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL or R&D credit carryforwards before utilization.
The Company does not have unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company has not recorded any interest and penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits since its inception. The tax years 2006 through 2023 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, which is primarily in the United States (U.S.), as carryforward attributes generated in prior years may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state tax authorities if they have or will be used in a future period. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. There are currently no federal or state audits in progress by the IRS or any other jurisdictions for any tax years.

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | | $ | (2.38 | ) | | $ | (0.99 | ) | | $ | (0.69 | ) |
The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, convertible preferred stock and unvested restricted stock units, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares equivalents presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
