PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Cricut, Inc.

Cricut, Inc.

Cricut, Inc.

Nature of Business

Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut” or the “Company”) is a designer and marketer of a creativity platform that enables users to turn ideas into professional-looking handmade goods. Using the Company’s versatile connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials, users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations. The Company’s connected machines and related accessories and materials and subscription services are primarily marketed under the Cricut brand in the United States, as well as Europe and other countries of the world. Headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, the Company is an innovator in its industry, focused on bringing innovative technology (automation and consumerization of industrial tools) to the craft, DIY and home décor categories. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are located throughout Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Company designs, markets and distributes the Cricut family of products, including connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials. In addition, Cricut sells a broad line of images, fonts and projects for purchase à la carte.

The Company organizes its business into the following three reportable segments: Connected Machines, Subscriptions, and Accessories and Materials. See Note 16, Segment Information, for further discussion of the Company’s segment reporting structure.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cricut, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and the changes in equity for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period.

There were no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For revenue recognition, examples of estimates and judgments include:

determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, estimating variable consideration such as sales incentives and product returns. Other estimates include the warranty reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, intangible assets and other long-lived assets valuation, legal contingencies, stock-based compensation, income taxes, deferred tax assets valuation and developed software, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including any effects of the ongoing pandemic and the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Money market funds and certain marketable securities are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information for these assets is readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other marketable securities such as U.S. Treasury securities are valued using observable inputs from similar assets, or from observable data in markets that are not active; these assets are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for any of the periods presented. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of profits are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net income per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Stock-based awards subject to conditions other than service conditions are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in basic EPS based on the number of awards that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less estimates for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by specifically identifying troubled accounts and by using historical write off experience, adjusted for current market conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, applied to an aging of all other accounts. If a retailer fails to follow the policies and guidelines in our sales agreements, we may choose to temporarily or permanently stop shipping product to that retailer.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had allowances against accounts receivable of $7.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Deferred revenue relates to performance obligations for which payments have been received from the customer prior to revenue recognition. Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred subscription-based services. Deferred revenue also includes amounts allocated from the sale of a connected machine to the unspecified upgrades and enhancements and the Company’s cloud-based services. The Company has no material contract assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes the changes in the deferred revenue balance for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was equal to the deferred revenue balance.

The Company expects the following recognition of deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023:

The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by major product lines, excluding sales-based taxes, are included in Note 16 under the heading “Segment Information.”

Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied was $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The following table presents the total revenue by geography based on the ship-to address for the periods indicated:

Inventories are comprised of the following:

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, Citigroup N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., KeyBank, N.A., and other parties. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior asset-based Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citigroup N.A., and Origin Bank. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of up to $300.0 million, maturing on August 4, 2027. In addition, during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Company may increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $150.0 million, (for maximum aggregate lender commitments of up to $450.0 million), subject to customary conditions under the Credit Agreement, including obtaining a consent from participating lenders (or another lender, if applicable) to such increase. The Credit Facility may be used to issue letters of credit and for other business purposes, including working capital needs. The current unused fee rate is 0.175% on per annum basis.

Generally, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on an alternative base rate (“ABR”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from (a) borrowings bearing interest at the ABR 2.00%, and (b) borrowings bearing interest at the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the Adjusted Australian Dollar Rate, the Adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or the Adjusted New Zealand Dollar Rate, as applicable for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus the applicable rate.

The Company computes interim period income taxes by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. The estimated effective tax rate is adjusted each quarter.

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for realization based upon historical taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and expected future taxable income. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax

assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for any of the periods presented.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which was divided between two series: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 250,000,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized and 52,675,233 shares of Class A common stock and 167,155,071 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to five votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 8,573,915 and 5,653,017 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock, respectively.

Stock Repurchase Program

Dividends

On May 18, 2023, the Company declared a special dividend of $1.00 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock, payable on July 17, 2023 to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2023. As part of the dividend, and pursuant to the underlying award agreements, holders of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) received a dividend equivalent of $1.00 per unit in the form of additional RSUs or PRSUs subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. The aggregate dividend of $234.6 million was to be satisfied in cash of $219.8 million payable to holders of Class A and Class B common stock with the remaining $14.8 million satisfied on the payment date in the form of dividend equivalents to RSU or PRSU holders prior to any subsequent forfeitures.

On December 21, 2022, the Company declared a special dividend of $0.35 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock, payable on February 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of February 1, 2023. As part of the dividend, and pursuant to the underlying award agreements, holders of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) received a dividend equivalent of $0.35 per unit in the form of additional RSUs or PRSUs subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. The aggregate dividend of $81.4 million was to be satisfied in cash of $76.9 million payable to holders of Class A and Class B common stock with the remaining $4.5 million satisfied on the payment date in the form of dividend equivalents to RSU or PRSU holders prior to any subsequent forfeitures.

Dividends payable includes dividends declared but not yet paid and prior dividends on unvested shares of Class A common stock payable upon future vesting. $0.8 million of the cash dividend payable is classified as non-current and presented in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets due to vesting conditions.

Stock-based Compensation Cost

The following table shows the stock-based compensation cost by award type for the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation cost included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or capitalized to assets for the periods indicated:

As of June 30, 2023, there was $119.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to service-based awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) was $147.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. As of June 30, 2023, 41,746,040 shares of Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan including shares reserved for previously granted awards discussed below as well as shares reserved for issuance of future awards under the plan.

A summary of the Company’s service-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

In 2022, the Company granted PRSUs under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. The PRSUs vest in two equal tranches subject to the Company achieving cumulative adjusted earnings per share over eight quarters of $4.93 per share and $6.16 per share, respectively, at any point during the 5-year performance period, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. Adjusted earnings per share means GAAP net income adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, as well as stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax expense specifically related to the PRSU awards.

A summary of the Company’s PRSU activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

The expense recognized each period for these PRSUs is primarily dependent upon the Company’s estimate of the probability of achieving the performance targets. At June 30, 2023, the Company determined it was not probable any performance conditions would be achieved so no stock-based compensation was recorded for these PRSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Options under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of an incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no options were granted.

Unvested Class B Common Stock

The Company’s unvested Class B common stock resulted from the Corporate Reorganization and is not part of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Activity related to Class B common stock subject to future vesting for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

Options to Purchase Class B Common Stock

The Company’s options to purchase Class B common stock resulted from the Corporate Reorganization and are not part of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. A summary of the Company stock option activity for the options to purchase shares of Class B common stock is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was immaterial.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”) became effective. Subject to any limitations contained therein, the 2021 ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their eligible compensation to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock at a discounted price per share. As of June 30, 2023, 8,422,446 shares of our Class A common stock were available for sale under the 2021 ESPP.

No offerings have been authorized to date by the administrator under the 2021 ESPP. If the administrator authorizes an offering period under the 2021 ESPP, the administrator will establish the duration of offering periods and purchase periods, including the starting and ending dates of offering periods and purchase periods, provided that no offering period may have a duration exceeding 27 months.

The Company is subject to certain outside claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any contingencies which it believes will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has determined its leases should be classified as operating leases. Variable lease costs are comprised primarily of the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses, property taxes, and insurance and are classified as lease cost due to the Company's election to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company incurred operating lease costs of $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company also incurred variable lease costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These amounts were included in net cash provided by operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of June 30, 2023, the maturities of the Company's operating lease liabilities were as follows: 

As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining operating lease term and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability were as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company undertook a restructuring plan to improve efficiency and streamline operations. The Company recognized $1.2 million of severance costs which was primarily settled within the three months ended March 31, 2023. Of this amount, $0.7 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million, were recorded within research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expense, respectively.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its employees who have attained at least 18 years of age. The Company matches 50% of the first 12% of an employee’s salary contributed to the plan on the first day of the month following their hire date. The Company contributed $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The computation of net income per share is as follows:

The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

As of June 30, 2023, 6,313,787 PRSUs were not assessed for inclusion in diluted earnings per share, and any potential antidilutive shares were excluded from the table above because they are subject to performance conditions that were not achieved as of such date.

The Company’s operating segments are generally organized by the type of product or service offered. Similar operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments: Connected Machines, Subscriptions and Accessories and Materials. Segment information is presented in the same manner that the Company’s Chief

Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews the results of operations in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit for each of the reportable segments. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue incurred by the segment. The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis. As of June 30, 2023, long-lived assets located outside the United States, primarily located in Malaysia and China, were $15.0 million.

The Connected Machines segment derives revenue from the sale of its connected machine hardware and related essential software. The Subscriptions segment derives revenue primarily from monthly and annual subscription fees and a portion of the revenue allocated to unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services. The Accessories and Materials segment primarily consists of craft, DIY, home décor products and heat presses including the Cricut EasyPress, Cricut Mug Press, and Cricut Autopress. There are no internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments.

Key financial performance measures of the segments including revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit are as follows:

At Cricut, our mission is to help people lead creative lives. We have designed and built a creativity platform that enables our engaged and loyal community of over 8.4 million users to turn ideas into professional-looking handmade goods. With our highly versatile connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials, our users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations.

Our users’ journeys typically begin with the purchase of a connected machine. We currently sell a portfolio of connected machines that cut, write, score and create other decorative effects using a wide variety of materials including paper, vinyl, iron-on vinyl, pens, and more. Our connected machines are designed for a wide range of uses and are available at a variety of price points (MSRP by machine family as of June 30, 2023):

Our software integrates our connected machines and design apps, allowing our users to create and share seamlessly. Our software is cloud-based, meaning that users can access and work on their projects anywhere, at any time, across desktops or mobile devices. We enable our users to be inspired, to create and share projects with the Cricut community and to follow others doing the same. On our apps, users can find inspiration, purchase or upload content like fonts and images, design a project from scratch or find a vast array of ready-to-make projects.

Users can leverage the full power of our platform by using our connected machines together with our free design apps, in-app purchases and subscription offerings to design and complete projects. All users can access a select number of free images, fonts and projects from our design apps or upload their own. In addition, we offer a wider selection of images, fonts and projects for purchase à la carte, including licensed content from partners with well-known brands and characters, like major motion picture studios. We also have two subscription offerings: Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium. Cricut Access provides a subscription to images, fonts and projects as well as other member benefits, including exclusive software features and functionality, discounts, and priority Cricut Member Care. Cricut Access is billed monthly for $9.99 per month or annually for $95.88 per year.

We sell a broad range of accessories and materials that bring our users’ designs to life, from advanced tools like heat presses to Cricut-branded rulers, scoring tools, pens, paper and iron-on vinyl, all designed to work seamlessly with our connected machines. Designing and completing projects drives repeat purchases of Cricut-branded accessories and materials.

We design and develop our software and hardware products, and we work with third-party contract manufacturers to source components and finished goods and with third-party logistics companies to warehouse and distribute our products.

We sell our connected machines and accessories and materials through our brick-and-mortar and online retail partners, as well as through our website at cricut.com. Our partners include Amazon, Hobby Lobby, HSN, Jo-Ann, Michaels, Target, Walmart and many others. We also sell our products, including subscriptions to Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium, on cricut.com.

Historically, we have experienced the highest revenue levels in the fourth quarter of the year, coinciding with the holiday shopping season in the United States. For example, in 2020, 2021 and 2022, our fourth quarter represented 39%, 30% and 32% of total revenue for the year, respectively. Our promotional discounting activity is higher in the fourth quarter as well, which negatively impacts gross margin during this period. For example, gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 30%, compared to gross margin of 39% for all of 2022. Additionally, sales of accessories and materials typically rise and fall with seasonal holiday crafting periods. The yearly seasonality patterns experienced in 2020, 2021, and 2022 are not representative of our typical historical patterns due to the unique aspects of the pandemic and condition of the global economy. For example, we experienced unusually high

demand in the first and second quarters of 2021, which is inconsistent with normal seasonality patterns. In 2022, we experienced a deceleration of sales post-Q1 due to the global economic slowdown which drove a deviation from our typically expected seasonality. As the impact of the pandemic and global economy challenges on behaviors abate, we expect to return to a more normal seasonality pattern. As we continue to grow internationally, we expect we may experience seasonality in additional markets, which may differ from the seasonality experienced in the United States.

On March 29, 2021, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), in which we sold 13,250,000 shares of Class A common stock, and the selling stockholders sold an additional 2,064,903 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. We received aggregate net proceeds of $242.7 million after deducting offering costs, underwriting discounts and commissions of $22.3 million. On April 28, 2021, we sold an additional 968,815 shares of Class A common stock and the selling stockholders sold an additional 150,984 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares which generated net proceeds of $18.0 million after deducting for underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.4 million.

For more information regarding our business model, factors affecting our performance, and seasonality, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

In addition to the measures presented in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends and make strategic decisions.

Users

Percentage of Users Creating in Trailing 90 Days

We define the Percentage of Users Creating in Trailing 90 Days as the percentage of users who have used a connected machine for any activity, such as cutting, writing or any other activity enabled by our connected machines, in the past 90 days. This metric is a key indicator of our engagement with users, which helps drive sales

of subscriptions and accessories and materials. There are certain limitations associated with this metric. For example, this metric does not capture how active a User is during the 90-day period, nor whether a User is purchasing subscriptions or accessories and materials. We compensate for some of these limitations by also reviewing other metrics that capture portions of this information, including the metrics below.

Paid Subscribers

We define Paid Subscribers as the number of users with a subscription to Cricut Access or Cricut Access Premium, excluding cancelled, unpaid or free trial subscriptions, as of the end of a period. Paid Subscribers is a key metric to track growth in our subscriptions revenue and potential leverage in our gross margin.

Subscription ARPU

We define Subscription ARPU as Subscriptions revenue divided by average users in a period. Subscription ARPU allows us to forecast Subscriptions revenue over time and is an indicator of our ability to expand with users and of user engagement with our subscription offerings.

Accessories and Materials ARPU

We define Accessories and Materials ARPU as Accessories and Materials revenue divided by average users in a period. Accessories and Materials ARPU allows us to forecast Accessories and Materials revenue over time and is an indicator of our ability to expand with users, particularly the volume of projects created by our users.

Components of our Results of Operations

We operate and manage our business in three reportable segments: Connected Machines, Subscriptions and Accessories and Materials. We identify our reportable segments based on the information used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. See Note 16 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing for additional information regarding our reportable segments.

Revenue

Connected Machines

Subscriptions

Accessories and Materials

Cost of Revenue

Connected Machines

Cost of revenue related to Connected Machines consists of product costs, including costs of components, costs of contract manufacturers for production, inspecting and packaging, shipping, receiving, handling, warehousing and fulfillment, duties and other applicable importing costs, warranty replacement, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, tooling and equipment depreciation and royalties. We expect our cost of revenue related to Connected Machines as a percentage of revenue to fluctuate in the near term as we continue selling through end of life machines, address global supply chain challenges and continue to invest in the growth of our business and decrease over the long term as we drive greater scale and efficiency in our business.
