Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We have prepared our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). While certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024, the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future interim period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 were derived from our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements

References in this report to “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Gaia” refer to Gaia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise. All textual currency references are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars (unless otherwise indicated).

1. Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation

Gaia, Inc. operates a global digital video subscription service and on-line community that strives to connect a unique and underserved member base. Our digital content library includes over 10,000 titles, with a growing selection of titles available in Spanish, German and French. Our members have unlimited access to this vast library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation-related content and more – 88% of which is exclusively available to our members for digital streaming on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere, commercial free.

Our mission is to create a transformational network that empowers a global conscious community. Content on our network is currently organized into four primary channels—Yoga, Transformation, Alternative Healing, and Seeking Truth—and delivered directly to our members through our streaming platform. We curate programming for these channels by producing content in our in-house production studios with a staff of media professionals. This produced and owned content currently comprises approximately 75% of our members’ viewing time. We complement our produced and owned content through long term licensing agreements.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Use of Estimates and Reclassifications

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 29, 2024, the Company determined it had the ability to exercise influence over Telomeron, Inc. (“Telomeron”) and, therefore, used the equity method of accounting to account for its equity interest. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined it no longer has the ability to exercise significant influence over Telomeron and, as such, the investment was reclassified at its carrying value to an equity security investment. The investment has been reclassed into Investments and other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The following recently issued accounting pronouncements are being evaluated but have not yet been adopted.

In October 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

2. Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of subscription fees paid by our members. We present revenues net of the taxes that are collected from members and remitted to governmental authorities. Members are billed in advance and revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term. Deferred revenues consist of subscription fees collected from members that have not been earned and are recognized ratably over the remaining term of the subscription. We recognize revenue on a net basis for relationships where our third-party platform partners (“Partners”) have the primary relationship, including billing and service delivery, with the member. We recognize revenue on a gross basis for members whose primary relationship is with Gaia. Payments made to Partners to assist in promoting our service on their platforms are expensed to marketing expenses in the period incurred. We do not allow access to our service to be provided as part of a bundle by any of our Partners.

3. Equity and Share-Based Compensation

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $341 and $56, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. During the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $1,003 and $599, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense is reported in selling and operating expenses and corporate, general and administration expenses on our interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

4. Debt

On September 9, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary Boulder Road LLC (“Boulder Road”) sold a 50% undivided interest in a portion of our corporate campus to Westside Boulder, LLC (“Westside”). Boulder Road retained a 50% undivided interest in the property as well as full ownership of our studio and production facilities. Boulder Road received consideration of $13.2 million in the transaction.

On December 28, 2020, Boulder Road and Westside (“Borrower”) entered into a loan agreement with First Interstate Bank, as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13.0 million. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum, matures on December 28, 2025, is secured by a deed of trust on our corporate campus, a portion of which is owned by Boulder Road and Westside as tenants-in-common and the remainder of which is owned by Boulder Road. Westside and Boulder Road each received 50% of the loan proceeds and are each responsible for 50% of the monthly installments. Gaia guaranteed payment of the mortgage. The mortgage contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions), including limitations on the Borrower’s ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, or engage in certain fundamental changes. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires Boulder Road to maintain a minimum Debt Service Ratio – Pre Distribution of 1.35 to 1.00 annually and a minimum Debt Service Ratio – Post Distribution of 1.15 to 1.00 annually. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Borrower was in compliance with all related covenants.

On August 25, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Gaia, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10 million with a sublimit of $1 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permanent acquisitions or other investments. There were no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Loans made, or letters of credit issued, under the Credit Agreement mature on August 25, 2025 and are secured (subject to permitted liens and other exceptions) by a first priority lien on all business assets, including intellectual property, of Gaia and the subsidiary guarantors.

Any advance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a floor of 0.00%), plus, the SOFR Index Adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin of 2.00%; provided, that, during the existence of a Benchmark Unavailability Period or a SOFR Unavailability Period, advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (iii) SOFR and (iv) 3.00%, plus, in each instance, a margin of 1.00%.

The aggregate outstanding amount of advances under the Credit Agreement is required to be $0 for at least 30 consecutive days during the period commencing on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company satisfied this requirement during October and November 2023.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions), including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, pay dividends, enter into transactions with its affiliates and engage in certain fundamental changes. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires Gaia to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 and to not permit the Leverage Ratio to exceed 1.50 to 1.00 for any computation period. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Borrower was in compliance with all related covenants.

5. Leases

In connection with the sale of a portion of our corporate campus as further discussed in Note 4, we leased the property pursuant to a master lease for an initial term extending through September 30, 2030, with two five-year extensions. The extension options are not recognized as part of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. We record the right to use the underlying asset for the operating lease term as an asset and our obligation to make lease payments as a liability, based on the present value of the lease payments over the initial lease term. At September 30, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6 years and the weighted average discount rate was 3.75%.

Because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Information related to our right-of-use asset and related lease liability were as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
	(unaudited)
Operating right-of-use asset, net	$	5,666	$	6,288

Operating lease liability, current portion	$	824	$	780
Operating lease liability, net of current portion		5,087		5,708
	$	5,911	$	6,488

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our operating lease expense was $266 and $265 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $796 and $795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, and for the subsequent years ending December 31, future maturity is as follows:

6. Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted loss 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 (“common stock equivalents”). Common stock equivalents consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method.

The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding computation is:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		2024		2023

Weighted-average number of shares		23,404		21,154		23,312		20,951

We excluded the effect of the below elements from our calculation of diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, as there were no earnings attributable to common shareholders:

7. Income Taxes

Periodically, we perform assessments of the realization of our net deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. Based on our historical operating losses, combined with our plans to continue to invest in our revenue growth and content library, we have a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our net operating loss carryforwards on a gross basis were $80.5 million and $26.1 million for federal and state, respectively. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is a stimulus bill which was in response to economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. During 2023, we recorded $1.75 million related to the employee retention credit in Selling and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations with a related receivable balance from the United States government related to the CARES Act, which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8. Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at September 30, 2024, and that can be reasonably estimated, are either reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is subject to tax examinations for non-income taxes in foreign jurisdictions where it provides services to consumers residing in foreign jurisdictions. A number of these examinations are ongoing and, in certain cases, have resulted in assessments from foreign tax authorities. An accrual for non-income tax liability is recognized for foreign jurisdictions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the non-income tax exposure can be reasonably estimated. For other foreign jurisdictions requiring non-income taxes, the Company has determined that the non-income tax exposure is reasonably possible. However, considering the Company is in early stages of the examination and the Company’s prior experience with foreign tax authorities, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of non-income tax exposure that may be incurred.

9. Segment and Geographic Information

Our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results on a consolidated basis and has determined that we have one reportable segment. We have members in the United States and over 185 foreign countries. The major geographic territories are the U.S., Canada and Australia based on the billing location of the member.

10. Igniton Transaction

In April 2024, the Company entered into a series of transactions with its subsidiary, Igniton, and a third-party entity to purchase a perpetual license for a total of $16.2 million of consideration comprised of $10.2 million of cash and $5.0 million of common stock of Igniton and $1.0 million of the Company’s equity security investment in Telomeron (the “License Purchase”). The license allows the Company to utilize the technology developed by the third party. This license is being recorded within the Technology license, net line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The License Purchase was funded through an equity financing through Igniton which raised $6.8 million of cash from third-party investors and $4.0 million investment from Gaia.

(“AWM”) for total net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. Igniton’s total proceeds included an approximately $0.4 million premium (the “Premium”) that was passed to the Company in exchange for the issuance to AWM of a non-transferable right granting AWM a one-time ability to sell the Igniton Shares to the Company for the total net proceeds paid (the “Option”), payable at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of the Company’s Class A common stock having a value per share equal to the trailing 5-day average Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) prior to the exercise of the Option. The amounts have been recorded within Additional paid-in capital and Noncontrolling interests within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023

Revenues, net. Revenues increased $2.0 million, or 10%, to $22.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $20.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by an increase in member count as well as improvements in ARPU (“Average Revenue Per User”).

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.1 million or 3.3% to $3.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is primarily related to the increase in revenues and revenue mix. Gross profit margin increased during the three months ended September 30, 2024 to 86.0% from 85.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to improvements in ARPU.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $2.1 million, or 12.9%, to $18.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven primarily by the absence of the ERTC (“Employee Retention Tax Credit”) benefit recognized in the third quarter 2023. Without the credit of $1.75 million in 2023, selling and operating expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $18.1 million. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and operating expenses increased to 83.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 80.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses increased $0.6 million, or 42.9% to $2.0 million for three months ended September 30, 2024 from $1.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses increased to 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 7.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023

Revenues, net. Revenues increased $6.2 million, or 10.4%, to $65.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $59.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by an increase in member count as well as an increase in ARPU.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $1.1 million or 12.8% to $9.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is primarily related to the increase in revenues and revenue mix. Gross profit margin decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 85.3% from 85.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to increased content amortization related to an overall increase in our investment of our original content offerings and revenue mix.

Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $5.4 million, or 10.9%, to $54.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $49.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven primarily by an increase in marketing expense and people related expenses in addition to the absence of an ERTC benefit recognized in the third quarter 2023. Without the credit of $1.75 million in 2023, selling and operating expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $51.3 million. As a percentage of net revenues, selling and operating expenses increased to 83.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 82.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses increased $0.9 million, or 19.1% to $5.6 million for nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses increased to 8.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 7.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Seasonality

Our member base reflects seasonal variations driven primarily by periods when consumers typically spend more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing, similar to those of traditional TV and cable networks. We have generally experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest during May through August. This drives quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but does not result in a corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital needs arise from working capital required to fund operations, capital expenditures related to acquisition and development of media content, development and marketing of our digital platforms, acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, replacements, expansions and improvements to our infrastructure, and future growth. These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our offerings, our ability to expand our customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to our offerings, our expenditures for marketing, and other factors. Additionally, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our media libraries, evaluate possible investments in businesses and technologies, and increase our marketing programs as needed.

Our budgeted content and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2024 are expected to be between $3.0 to $4.0 million which we intend to fund with cash flows generated from operations. These planned expenditures will be predominately utilized to expand our content library and build out the capabilities of our digital platforms. The planned expenditures are discretionary and, with our in-house production capabilities, we have the ability to scale expenditures based on the available cash flows from operations. We began to generate positive cash flows from operations in 2020 and have continued to generate cash flows from operations since. We expect

to continue generating positive cash flows from operations during the remainder of 2024. We generated approximately $4.3 million in cash flows from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our cash balance was $4.4 million.

As described in Note 4, during August 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement with KeyBank, which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million. Funds from the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permitted acquisitions or other investments. As of September 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

As described in Note 10, in April 2024, the Company entered into a series of transactions with its subsidiary, Igniton, and a third-party entity to purchase a perpetual license for a total of $16.2 million of consideration comprised of $10.2 million of cash and $5.0 million of common stock of Igniton and $1.0 million of the Company’s equity security investment in Telomeron (the “License Purchase”). The license allows the Company to utilize the technology developed by the third party. This license is being recorded within the Technology license, net line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The License Purchase was primarily funded through an equity financing through Igniton which raised $6.8 million of cash from third-party investors.

In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in our market. For any future investment, acquisition, or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring indebtedness.

While there can be no assurances, we believe our cash on hand, our cash expected to be generated from operations, our potential additional borrowing capabilities now that we have a history of generating positive operating cash flows, and our potential capital raising capabilities will be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, product development, unforeseen operational difficulties, or other factors.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our sources (uses) of cash during the periods presented:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023			2024			2023
	(unaudited)						(unaudited)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	409		$	1,415		$	4,264		$	2,685
Investing activities		(1,361	)		(1,066	)		(13,881	)		(2,975	)
Financing activities		(142	)		1			6,216			(43	)
Net change in cash	$	(1,094	)	$	350		$	(3,401	)	$	(333	)

Operating activities. Cash flows provided by operations increased approximately $1.6 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by changes in earnings and the timing of working capital, primarily accrued liabilities and deferred revenues.

Investing activities. Cash flows used, including the investing activities within our 71% owned subsidiary, increased $10.9 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to a technology license acquired during the second quarter. Excluding this subsidiary license purchase, the cash flow used would be a decrease of $3.0 million.

Financing activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities were primarily impacted by raising funds through Gaia’s subsidiary, Igniton.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management (i.e., the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon its evaluation as of September 30, 2024, our management has concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level based on the previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. Notwithstanding the previously identified material weaknesses, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Previously Identified Material Weakness

In the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, we identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2023.

Specifically, we determined that we did not have appropriate technical accounting and financial reporting capabilities to properly record in our financial statements certain complex or unusual transactions. Additionally, we determined our financial close and reporting process was inadequate due to insufficient analysis of certain accounts and inadequate financial reporting systems.

These material weaknesses resulted in incorrect accounting entries that were identified and corrected through the audit of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, these material weaknesses resulted in errors in the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness

We have begun taking measures, and plan to continue to take measures, to remediate the material weaknesses. In order to address these material weaknesses, we have begun to implement additional procedures and controls in the financial statement close and reporting process, which include enhanced system capabilities in most areas, enhanced reconciliation controls, enhanced review controls and financial close checklists which aim to ensure all necessary reviews and reconciliations are occurring as designed. Additionally, we have begun to enhance access to accounting training, literature, research materials and plan to increase communication channels among our personnel and outsourced third-party professionals with whom we may consult regarding the application of complex accounting transactions. We also hired additional accounting and finance personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting experience.

We believe the measures described above along with other elements of our remediation plan will remediate the material weaknesses identified and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and have begun to implement the measures described above. We will also continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies or we may modify certain of the remediation measures described above. We will not consider our material weaknesses remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

For more information concerning the material weakness identified and remediation steps, see the section titled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Material Weakness and Restatements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 29, 2024.

Other than the ongoing material weakness remediation activities described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates and Reclassifications	Use of Estimates and Reclassifications The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 29, 2024, the Company determined it had the ability to exercise influence over Telomeron, Inc. (“Telomeron”) and, therefore, used the equity method of accounting to account for its equity interest. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined it no longer has the ability to exercise significant influence over Telomeron and, as such, the investment was reclassified at its carrying value to an equity security investment. The investment has been reclassed into Investments and other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The following recently issued accounting pronouncements are being evaluated but have not yet been adopted. In October 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (ASC Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
