TABLE OF CONTENTS
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” “target,” “project” or “contemplate” or the negative version of these words and other comparable terminology that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, intentions or projections. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•our ability to attract and engage users and attract and expand our relationships with brick-and-mortar and online retail partners and distributors;
•our future results of operations, including trends in revenue, costs, operating expenses and key metrics;
•our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets;
•our expectations and management of future growth;
•our ability to manage our supply chain, manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment, including the ability to forecast demand and manage our inventory;
•our ability to enter new markets and manage our expansion efforts, including internationally;
•our ability to attract and retain management, key employees and qualified personnel;
•our ability to effectively and efficiently protect our brand;
•our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property and not infringe upon others’ intellectual property;
•our continued use of open source software;
•our estimated Serviceable Addressable Market, or SAM, and Total Addressable Market, or TAM;
•our ability to prevent serious errors, defects or vulnerabilities in our products and software;
•the adequacy of our capital resources to fund operations and growth;
•our ability to remain in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business both domestically and internationally;
•Petrus’ significant influence over us and our status as a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the Exchange;
•expectations regarding the financial condition of our brick-and-mortar and online retail partners, online and e-commerce channels and users;
•risks related to general socio-economic and political conditions, consumer confidence, as well as current macro-economic and post-COVID-19 factors; and
•the other factors identified under, or incorporated by reference in, the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These statements are only predictions based primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, events or circumstances to differ materially from the results, events or circumstances expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed, or incorporated by reference, in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should specifically consider the numerous risks outlined, or incorporated by reference, in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and
uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
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 platform, versatile connected machines, and accessories and materials, users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations. The Company’s subscription services, connected machines and related accessories and materials are primarily marketed under the Cricut brand in the United States, as well as Europe and other countries around 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 the platform, connected machines, and accessories and materials. In addition, Cricut sells a broad line of images, fonts, and projects for purchase à la carte.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 and prior periods, we had three reportable segments: Connected Machines, Subscriptions, and Accessories and Materials. As of January 2024, we realigned our operating segment structure and now have two reportable segments: Platform and Products. The change in operating segments is based on how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes operating decisions and assesses business performance. Prior period segment information has been recast retrospectively to reflect the realignment. See Note 16, Segment Information, for further discussion of the Company’s segment reporting structure.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.
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, 2023 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, or any other period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The ASU clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of ASC 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or non-employees in exchange for goods or services. Public
business entities must apply the ASU’s guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In December, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. They must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. Public business entities must apply the ASU’s guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (2025 for calendar-year-end Public business entities). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 of performance obligations, and estimating variable consideration such as sales incentives and product returns. Other estimates include the warranty reserve, allowance for credit losses, 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 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, the Company had net accounts receivable balances of $93.3 million, $111.2 million and $136.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had an allowance for credit losses against accounts receivable of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
3.Revenue and Deferred Revenue
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 recognized no contract assets as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023.
The following table summarizes the changes in the deferred revenue balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

| Total accrued expenses | $ | 77,437 | | | $ | 71,933 | |
7. Revolving Credit Facility
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.
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 total unamortized debt issuance costs were $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and contains affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other terms customary for loans of this nature. In particular, the Credit Agreement will not permit the leverage ratio to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, measured on the last day of any fiscal quarter. In addition, the Credit Agreement will not permit the interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.0 to 1.0, for any period of four consecutive quarters, measured on the last day of any fiscal quarter. Management has determined that the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial debt covenants as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement and available borrowings were $300.0 million.
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 plus 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.
8.Income Taxes
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’s provision for income taxes was $2.7 million and $21.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $8.3 million and $19.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The provision for income taxes varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a reduction in the unfavorable prior-period adjustments, increases in the foreign derived intangible income deduction, and a $0.9 million decrease from discrete items related to stock-based compensation. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the income tax provision varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation difference attributable to the decrease in stock price upon vesting versus the stock price at the grant date and a decrease to the research and development credit.
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.
9.Capital Structure
As of September 30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, 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 53,344,901 shares of Class A common stock and 161,077,576 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 5,332,089 and 9,008,751 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 19, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program to purchase shares of our outstanding Class A common stock up to an aggregate transactional value of $50 million which was recently completed. On May 6, 2024 the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional $50 million for the share repurchase program to purchase shares of its outstanding Class A common stock depending on the Company’s continuing analysis of market, financial, and other factors. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a predetermined expiration date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 4,955,803 shares of our Class A common stock for $30.4 million.
Dividends
On May 6, 2024, the Company declared a special dividend of $0.40 per share and a recurring semi-annual dividend of $0.10 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock, payable on July 19, 2024 to shareholders of record as of July 2, 2024. As part of the dividends, 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 $0.50 per unit in the form of additional RSUs or PRSUs subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. The aggregate dividend of $121.7 million was to be satisfied in cash of $108.2 million payable to holders of Class A and Class B common stock with the remaining $13.5 million satisfied on the payment date in the form of dividend equivalents to RSU or PRSU holders prior to any subsequent forfeitures.
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.

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 non-statutory 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 September 30, 2024, 50,764,570 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of RSUs | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share) |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2023 | 8,893,831 | | | $ | 14.38 | |

The Company has granted PRSUs under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees of the Company that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. In July 2024, the Company granted PRSUs by which the first tranche of 30% and the second tranche of 70% will vest upon the Company achieving certain adjusted operating income targets during any four consecutive quarters of the respective performance periods, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. The performance periods for the first and second tranches is 4 and 5.0 years, respectively. Adjusted operating income means GAAP operating income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and payroll expense specifically related to these PRSU awards.
In 2022, the Company granted PRSUs that vest in two equal tranches subject to the Company achieving certain cumulative adjusted earnings per share over eight quarters 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 these PRSU awards.
A summary of the Company’s PRSU activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of PRSUs (a) | | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share) |

| Outstanding at September 30, 2024 | 17,580,263 | | | $ | 12.60 | |
a.Represents the maximum number of PRSUs assuming all performance targets are achieved.
The expense recognized each period for the PRSUs is primarily dependent upon the Company’s estimate of the probability of achieving the performance targets. At September 30, 2024, the Company determined it was not probable any performance conditions would be achieved so no stock-based compensation was recorded for the PRSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
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.

Certain employees received restricted stock unit equivalents (“RSU equivalents”) which upon vesting are settled for a cash payment equal to the difference between the Company’s stock price on the vesting date less the base price specified at the time of the grant. As of September 30, 2024, the total recognized liability for these awards was immaterial.

11.Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
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.
12.Leases
The Company leases office space with lease terms ranging from one to six years. These leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. Certain of these leases also include renewal options at the election of the Company to renew or extend the lease.
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 $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company also incurred variable lease costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1.5 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $4.5 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were included in net cash provided by operating activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

16.Segment Information
In January 2024, the Company reevaluated its operating segments in order to better align with how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. The key factor evaluated by the Company resulted from the growth and expansion of Design Space, the Company’s digital platform. Since its initial public offering, the Company’s digital platform has evolved and grown considerably. Key enhancements to the platform include the size of its images, fonts, and projects library, the introduction of advanced design tools, the software support for several new cutting machines, and the creation of enhanced subscriptions offerings. The change in operating segments reflects the Company’s strategy to focus on continuing to expand revenue and margin generated from its digital platform and Paid Subscribers. At the same time, a number of product related factors also contributed to this decision, including the relative importance of physical products to the platform, including bundles (comprised of several combinations of machines, accessories, and materials), and changes in our Accessories and Materials business. Based on these changes, the Company has determined that it was appropriate to reduce its reportable segments from three to two, combining its Subscriptions and digital content businesses into one Platform segment, and its Connected Machines and Accessories and Materials businesses into one Product segment. Prior period segment results have been retrospectively recast to reflect the new reportable segments.
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 considered the provisions of ASC 280-10-50 as it relates to the information provided to and used by the CODM for evaluating performance and allocating resources to operating segments.
The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis. As of September 30, 2024, long-lived assets located outside the United States, primarily located in Malaysia and China, were $5.2 million.
The Platform segment derives revenue primarily from monthly and annual subscription fees, digital content, 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, upfront digital content revenue comprised 1% of Platform revenue. The remaining Platform revenue consists of ratably recognized subscription revenue. The Products segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of its connected machine hardware, and sale of craft, DIY, home décor products and extensions. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

•Cricut Access Premium: Includes all of the benefits of Cricut Access as well as additional discounts and preferred shipping and is billed annually for $119.88 per year.
As of September 30, 2024, we had over 2.8 million Paid Subscribers to Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium.
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 and 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 2021, 2022 and 2023, our fourth quarter represented 30%, 32% and 30% 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 2023 was 42%, compared to gross margin of 45% for all of 2023. Additionally, sales of accessories and materials typically rise and fall with seasonal holiday crafting periods. The yearly seasonality patterns experienced in 2021, 2022, and 2023 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 economic 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.
In January 2024, the Company reevaluated its operating segments in order to better align with how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. The key factor evaluated by the Company resulted from the growth and expansion of Design Space, the Company’s digital platform. Since its initial public offering, the Company’s digital platform has evolved and grown considerably. Key enhancements to the platform include the size
of its images, fonts, and projects library, the introduction of advanced design tools, the software support for several new cutting machines, and the creation of enhanced subscriptions offerings. In 2020, revenue and gross profit generated from the platform represented 12% and 31% of total, respectively. In 2023, revenue and gross profit generated from the platform represented 40% and 80% of total, respectively. Over this same time period, Paid Subscribers on the platform grew 115% from 1.3 million to nearly 2.8 million. The change in operating segments reflects the Company’s strategy to focus on continuing to expand revenue and margin generated from its digital platform and Paid Subscribers. At the same time, a number of product related factors also contributed to this decision, including the relative importance of physical products to the platform, including bundles (comprised of several combinations of machines, accessories, and materials), and changes in our Accessories and Materials business. Based on these changes, the Company has determined that it was appropriate to reduce its reportable segments from three to two, combining its Subscriptions and digital content businesses into one Platform segment, and its Connected Machines and Accessories and Materials businesses into one Product segment. Prior period segment results have been retrospectively recast to reflect the new reportable segments.

Key Business Metrics
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| Active Users (in thousands) | 5,894 | | 5,929 |
| 90-Day Engaged Users (in thousands) | 3,532 | | 3,641 |
| Paid Subscribers (in thousands) | 2,838 | | 2,699 |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| Platform ARPU | $ | 52.86 | | | $ | 51.20 | |
Active Users
We define Active Users as registered users of at least one registered connected machine who have utilized their connected machine to create a project in the last 365 days. One user may own multiple registered connected machines but is only counted once if that user registers those connected machines by using the same email address. If possession of a connected machine is transferred to a new owner and registered by that new owner, the new owner is added to the total Active Users and the prior owner is removed from the total Active Users if the prior owner does not own any other registered connected machines. Active Users is a key indicator of the health of our business, because changes in the number of Active Users excludes non-users to better represent opportunities for us to drive additional platform and accessories and materials revenue.
90-Day Engaged Users
We define 90-Day Engaged Users as registered users of at least one registered connected machine who have utilized their connected machine to create a project in the last 90 days. One user may own multiple registered connected machines but is only counted once if that user registers those connected machines by using the same email address. If possession of a connected machine is transferred to a new owner and registered by that new owner, the new owner is added to the total 90-Day Engaged Users and the prior owner is removed from the total 90-Day Engaged Users if the prior owner does not own any other registered connected machines. 90-Day Engaged Users excludes non-users to better represent opportunities for us to drive additional platform and accessories and materials revenue.
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 Platform revenue and potential leverage in our gross margin.
Platform ARPU
We define Platform ARPU as Platform revenue in a 12-month period divided by Active Users. Platform ARPU allows us to forecast Platform revenue over time and is an indicator of our ability to expand with users and of user engagement with our subscription offerings.
Components of our Results of Operations
We operate and manage our business in two reportable segments: Platform and Products. 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
Platform
We generate Platform revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions to Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium, digital content, and a minimal amount of revenue allocated to the unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to our cloud-based services. For a monthly or annual subscription fee, Cricut Access includes 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. For our annual subscription fee, Cricut Access Premium includes all the benefits of Cricut Access as well as additional discounts and preferred shipping. Digital content includes à la carte digital content purchases, including fonts, images and projects. Platform revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over time, during the subscription term for subscriptions, and at the point in time when control is transferred for à la carte digital content.
Products
We generate Products revenue from sales of connected machines and ancillary products, net of sales discounts, incentives and returns, and includes amounts allocated to the material right for discounts on materials and accessories available only to Paid Subscribers. Our connected machines portfolio consists of machines in four product families: Cricut Maker, which includes Maker and Maker 3; Cricut Explore, which includes Explore Air 2 and Explore 3; Cricut Joy, which includes Joy and Joy Xtra; and Cricut Venture. Our ancillary products include Cricut EasyPress, Cricut MugPress, hand tools, machine replacement tools and blades, and project materials such as vinyl and iron-on. Products revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred, which is either upon shipment or delivery to the customer in accordance with the terms of each customer contract.
Cost of Revenue
Platform
Cost of revenue related to Platform consists primarily of hosting fees, digital content costs, amortization of capitalized software development costs and software maintenance costs. We expect our cost of revenue related to Platform as a percentage of revenue to fluctuate in the near term as we expand our content offerings, including localized content for international target markets, and decrease over time as we drive greater scale and efficiency in our business.
Products
Cost of revenue related to Products consists of product costs, including costs of components, cost 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 Products 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.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the development of our platform and products, including personnel-related expenses for engineering, product development and quality assurance, as well as prototype costs, service fees incurred by contracting with vendors and allocated overhead. We expect our research and development expenses to fluctuate in the near term as we refine our product roadmaps. We expect to produce gross savings of approximately $3.2 million during 2024 as a result of the Q1 2024 restructuring plan.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of the advertising and marketing of our products, third-party payment processing fees, personnel-related expenses, including salaries and bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, as well as sales incentives, professional services, promotional items, and allocated overhead costs. We expect our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to fluctuate in the near term. We expect to produce gross savings of approximately $2.5 million during 2024 as a result of the Q1 2024 restructuring plan.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses for our finance, legal, human resources and administrative personnel, including salaries and bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, as well as the costs of professional services, any allocated overhead, information technology, impairment charges of unused equipment, and other administrative expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue to increase in the near term as we expand our operations, invest in systems enhancements, and incur expenses required of a public company. We expect to produce gross savings of approximately $0.6 million during 2024 as a result of the Q1 2024 restructuring plan.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income from our investments in marketable securities, offset by interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of income taxes in the United States and certain state and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have not recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

This was partially offset by a loss on foreign currency translation and decreases in impairment of unused equipment, software, and inventory.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $4.8 million, or 9%, to $50.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $1.6 million decrease in professional services.

Other income, net increased by $1.7 million or 95% to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income due to an increase in maturities of marketable securities in 2024.
Other income, net increased by $2.2 million or 28% to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income due to an increase in maturities of marketable securities in 2024.

Provision for income taxes decreased by $5.6 million, or 68%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in unfavorable prior-period adjustments due to the filing of the prior-year tax returns in Q3, increases in the foreign derived intangible income deduction, and a decrease from discrete items related to stock-based compensation.
Provision for income taxes increased by $2.4 million, or 13%, to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation difference attributable to the decrease in stock price upon vesting versus the stock price at the grant date, and a decrease to the research and development credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations during the periods presented have been financed primarily through cash flow from operating activities. We believe our balances of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which totaled $142.4 million and $104.6 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024, along with forecasted cash expected to be generated by ongoing operations and $300.0 million in available borrowings and the option to increase the aggregate amount of our credit facility by up to an additional $150.0 million (see Note 7) will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond. Except for the dividends announced in May and November 2024 and the share repurchase program announced in May 2024, our cash requirements have not changed materially since our Annual Report.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we paid a dividend of $109.8 million and $293.8 million to holders of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively.
Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other growth initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.
Cash Flows
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| (in thousands) | | | |
| Net cash flows provided by operating activities | $ | 161,885 | | | $ | 196,026 | |
| Net cash flows used in investing activities | (14,436) | | | (43,998) | |
| Net cash flows used in financing activities | (147,402) | | | (304,324) | |
Operating Activities
The change in net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in the provision for obsolete inventory, a smaller reduction in accounts receivable in 2024 compared to 2023, an increase in prepaid balances due to estimated tax payments made in 2024, and a decrease in accounts payable driven by a decrease in foreign
trade payables due to lower inventory purchases in 2024, offset by a decrease in inventory from current year sales and the inventory replenishment rate decreasing as the Company works to reduce inventory levels and an increase in accrued liabilities related to income taxes payable.
Investing Activities
The change in net cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to an increase in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities in 2024.
Financing Activities
The change in net cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to dividend payments of $293.8 million in 2023 compared to the dividend payment in 2024 of $109.8 million, offset by an increase in the repurchase of common stock in 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The critical accounting policies that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements include those described in Note 2 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in the section titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s market risk, please refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that 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 to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or would be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not presently a party to any material pending legal proceedings. We are, from time to time, subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from the normal course of business activities, and an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Litigation may be necessary, among other things, to defend ourselves or our users by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights, to establish our proprietary rights, or to address royalty payments we make. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Part II. Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, filed on May 7, 2024, which are hereby incorporated by reference. The risks and uncertainties described in such risk factors and elsewhere in this report have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our recent SEC filings, including our previously filed Form 10-Q, as referenced above, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed on August 6, 2024.
