TABLE OF CONTENTS
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”),
about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and
uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical
facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our
future results of operations and financial condition, business
strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases,
forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these
terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking

the following:

and any underlying assumptions thereunder;

market opportunity and our ability to acquire new clients and
retain existing clients;

in a timely manner, and make enhancements to our platform and our

•our
success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in,
officers, key employees or directors; and
•the

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of
future events. We have based the forward-looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our
current expectations and projections about future events and trends
that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and
operating results. The outcome of the events described in these
forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and
other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022 and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022
filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022. 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 in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or
occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe,” and similar statements
reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These
statements are based on information available to us as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that
information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that
information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not
be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry
into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are
inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly
rely on these statements.
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
forward-looking statements made in 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.

WM Technology, Inc. was initially incorporated in the Cayman
Islands on June 7, 2019 under the name “Silver Spike Acquisition
Corp” (“Silver Spike”). Silver Spike was formed for the purpose of
effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset
acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses. On June 16, 2021 (the
“Closing Date”), Silver Spike consummated the business combination
(the “Business Combination”), pursuant to that certain Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2020 (the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among Silver Spike, Silver Spike Merger Sub
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct
subsidiary of Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), WM
Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (when
referred to in its pre-Business Combination capacity, “Legacy WMH”
and following the Business Combination, “WMH LLC”), and Ghost Media
Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely in its
capacity as the initial holder representative (the “Holder
Representative”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the
closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Silver Spike
was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing
its name to WM Technology, Inc.
The Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which
substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are
held by WMH LLC and continue to operate through WMH LLC and its
subsidiaries, and WM Technology, Inc.’s material assets are the
equity interests of WMH LLC indirectly held by it. Legacy WMH was
determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business
Combination, which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is
designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations
of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity
and objectivity. Management believes that these accounting policies
conform to GAAP in all material respects, and have been
consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and
applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information
and footnotes required by GAAP in annual financial statements have
been omitted or condensed and these interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,
filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. The condensed financial
statements of the Company include all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of
September 30, 2022, and results of its operations and its cash
flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s
accounting policies from those described in the Company’s audited
consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those
statements.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was
accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP
(the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting,
Silver Spike was treated as the acquired company and Legacy WMH was
treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting
purposes.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization
was treated as the equivalent of Legacy WMH issuing stock for the
net assets of Silver Spike, accompanied by a
recapitalization.
Legacy WMH was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on
evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
•Legacy
WMH Class A Unit holders, through their ownership of the Class V
Common Stock, had the greatest voting interest in the Company with
over 50% of the voting interest;
•Legacy
WMH selected the majority of the new board of directors of the
Company;
•Legacy
WMH senior management was the senior management of the Company;
and
•Legacy
WMH was the larger entity based on historical operating activity
and had the larger employee base.
Thus, the financial statements included in this quarterly report
reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy WMH prior to
the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the WMH LLC
and Silver Spike following the Business Combination; and (iii) the
acquired assets and liabilities of Silver Spike stated at
historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets
recorded.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of WM Technology, Inc. and WM Holding Company, LLC,
including their wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. In
conformity with GAAP, all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are
translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at
the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated
at the average exchange rates during the periods. The impact of
exchange rate fluctuations from translation of assets and
liabilities is insignificant for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021.
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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
interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Significant estimates made by management include, among others, the
valuation of accounts receivable, the useful lives of long-lived
assets, income taxes, website and internal-use software development
costs, leases, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets,
valuation of warrant liability, deferred tax asset, tax receivable
agreement liability, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation,
and the recognition and disclosure of contingent
liabilities.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a relatively new industry where laws and
regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction. Currently, the
majority of U.S. states permit medical cannabis, and several permit
adult use. Additionally, while a number of U.S. legislators have
introduced various bills to legalize cannabis at the federal level,
none of these bills has become law. Currently, under federal law,
cannabis, other than hemp (defined by the U.S. government as
Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3%
on a dry weight basis), is still a Schedule I controlled substance
under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). Even in states or
territories that have legalized cannabis to some extent, the
cultivation, possession, and sale of cannabis all violate the CSA
and are punishable by imprisonment, substantial fines, and
forfeiture. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal
law if they aid and abet another in violating the CSA, or conspire
with another to violate the law, and violating the CSA is a
predicate for certain other crimes, including money laundering laws
and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If any
of the states that permit use of cannabis were to change their laws
or the federal government was to actively enforce the CSA or other
laws related to the federal prohibition on cannabis, the Company’s
business could be adversely affected.
In addition, the Company’s ability to grow and meet its operating
objectives depends largely on the continued legalization and
regulation of cannabis on a widespread basis. There can be no
assurance that such legalization will occur on a timely basis, or
at all.
The geographic concentration of the Company’s clients makes the
Company vulnerable to a downturn in the local market area.
Historically, the Company’s business operations have been located
primarily in the State of California, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, approximately 56% of the Company’s revenue
originated in California.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 -
Fair Value Measurements
for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and
reported at fair value at each reporting period.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities
reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in
connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In
connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and
liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable
inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to
minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about
how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The
following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and
liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs
used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
•Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market
in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on
an ongoing basis.
•Level
2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2
inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets
or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active.
•Level
3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company assessment of the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and does not
bear interest.
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company measures credit losses on its trade accounts receivable
using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,
which is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses.
Under the credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses are
measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical,
current and forecast information.
The Company calculates the expected credit losses on a pool basis
for those trade receivables that have similar risk characteristics.
For those trade receivables that do not share similar risk
characteristics, the allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated
on an individual basis. Risk characteristics relevant to the
Company’s accounts receivable include balance of customer account
and aging status.
Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is
determined that it is probable that the receivable will not be
recovered. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts
of $13.9 million and $5.2 million as of
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.
The increase in allowance for doubtful accounts included a higher
reserve for at-risk customers that indicated financial difficulties
and the impact from macroeconomic factors.
As of September 30, 2022, a receivable due from one single
customer accounted for approximately 11% of the total gross
accounts receivable outstanding.
The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for
doubtful accounts:

Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities that do not have a readily
determinable fair value and qualify for the measurement alternative
for equity investments provided in ASC 321,
Investments – Equity Securities
are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus
changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly
transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same
issuer. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity
securities without a readily determinable fair value was
$6.5 million, which is recorded within Other assets on the
Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation, and consist of internally developed software,
computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold
improvements. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and generally
over five years for computer equipment, seven years for furniture
and fixtures and five years for leasehold improvements. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain
or loss is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
Capitalized website and internal-use software development costs are
included in property and equipment in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalizes certain costs
related to the development and enhancement of the Weedmaps
marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company began to capitalize
these costs when preliminary development efforts were successfully
completed, management has authorized and committed project funding,
and it was probable that the project would be completed and the
software would be used as intended. Capitalization ceases upon
completion of all substantial testing. Maintenance and training
costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs are amortized when
placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three
years. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result
in additional features or functionality are capitalized and
expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements,
generally three years. Product development costs that do not meet
the criteria for capitalization are expensed as
incurred.

The Company assess impairment of property and equipment when an
event and change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value
of such assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in
circumstance indicates that the carrying amount of an asset (or
asset group) may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted
cash flows attributable to the asset are less than its carrying
value, an impairment loss, if any, equals to the excess of the
asset’s carrying value over its fair value is
recognized.
Leases
The Company classifies arrangements meeting the definition of a
lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on
the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”)
and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments
over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are
increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the
right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating
leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the
right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the
lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and
the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded
expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded
when incurred.
In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the
Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components for all
classes of assets. The Company excludes short-term leases having
initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an
accounting policy election, and instead recognizes rent expense on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company assess impairment of ROU assets when an event and
change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such
ROU assets may not be recoverable. If an event and a change in
circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may
not be recoverable and the estimated fair value attributable to the
ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if
any, equals to the excess of the ROU asset’s carrying value over
its fair value is recognized.
Total net lease costs for the three months ended September 30,
2022 and 2021 were $2.3 million and $2.9 million,
respectively. Total net lease costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $7.1 million and
$8.9 million, respectively.
Sublease rental income is recognized as a reduction to the related
lease expense on a straight-line basis over the sublease term. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
Company recorded contra rent expense of $0.5 million and
$1.3 million, respectively.
The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.6 million and
$2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2022 and 2021, related to certain ROU assets reducing the carrying
values of the lease assets to their estimated fair values. The fair
values were estimated using an income approach based on
management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived
based on the sublease market rent. The impairment charges are
included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Warrant Liability
The Company assumed 12,499,993 public warrants originally issued in
the initial public offering of Silver Spike (the “Public Warrants”)
and 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants that were originally
issued in a private placement by Silver Spike (the “Private
Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the
“Warrants”) upon the Closing, all of which were issued in
connection with Silver Spike’s initial public offering and entitle
the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30,
2022, 12,499,973 Public Warrants and 7,000,000 Private Placement
Warrants remained outstanding. The Public Warrants are publicly
traded and are exercisable for cash unless certain conditions
occur, such as the failure to have an effective registration
statement related to the shares issuable upon exercise or
redemption by the Company under certain conditions, at which time
the warrants may be cashless exercised. The Private Placement
Warrants are transferable, assignable or salable in certain limited
exceptions. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash
or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are
non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers
or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants
are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their
permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will cease to
be Private Placement Warrants, and become Public Warrants and be
redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the
same basis as the other Public Warrants.
The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 815-40
-
Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own
Equity,
and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in
stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the exercise of the
Warrants
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or
exchange that involves 50% or more of our Class A equity holders.
Because not all of the voting stockholders need to participate in
such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash
settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such
an event, the Company concluded that the Warrants do not meet the
conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Warrants meet the
definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded
these warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective
fair values recognized in change in fair value of warrant
liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of
operations at each reporting date.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered
into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”)
with continuing members that provides for a payment to the
continuing Class A Unit holders of 85% of the amount of tax
benefits, if any, that the Company realizes, or is deemed to
realize, as a result of redemptions or exchanges of Units. In
connection with such potential future tax benefits resulting from
the Business Combination, the Company has established a deferred
tax asset for the additional tax basis and a corresponding TRA
liability of 85% of the expected benefit. The remaining 15% is
recorded to additional paid-in capital.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from monthly
subscriptions and additional offerings for access to the Company’s
Weedmaps marketplace and SaaS solutions. The Company recognizes
revenue when the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition are
met. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following
steps: the contract with the customer is identified; the
performance obligations in the contract are identified; the
transaction price is determined; the transaction price is allocated
to the performance obligations in the contract; and revenue is
recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies these performance
obligations in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects
to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company
excludes sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement
of the transaction price. For clients that pay in advance for
listing and other services, the Company records deferred revenue
and recognizes revenue over the applicable subscription
term.
The Company offers Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which
include access to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS
solutions. As add-ons for additional fees, the Company offers other
products, including featured listings, placements, promoted deals,
nearby listings, other display advertising, client relationship
management, digital menu, and delivery and logistics services. The
Company’s Weedmaps for Business subscriptions generally have
one-month terms that automatically renew unless notice of
cancellation is provided in advance. The Company has a fixed
inventory of featured listing and display advertising in each
market, and price is generally determined through a competitive
auction process that reflects local market demand. Revenues for
these arrangements are recognized over-time, generally during a
month-to-month subscription period as the products are provided.
The Company rarely needs to allocate the transaction price to
separate performance obligations. In the rare case that allocation
of the transaction price is needed, the Company recognizes revenue
in proportion to the standalone selling prices of the underlying
services at contract inception.
Disaggregation of revenue
Weedmaps for Business and other SaaS subscriptions include the
Company's WM Pages subscription package as well subscriptions to
the Company's other SaaS products. The WM Pages subscription
package includes access to WM Listings, WM Orders, WM Store, WM
Connectors and WM Insights. Additional SaaS subscriptions include
WM CRM, WM Dispatch and WM Screens. These subscriptions are
typically monthly in nature. Featured and deal listings include the
Featured Listings and WM Deals products. Other ad solutions include
certain advertising products on and off the Weedmaps marketplace,
including WM AdSuite. For a description of these solutions, see the
"Business and Organization" section.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments
received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription
offerings, as described above, and is recognized as the revenue
recognition criteria are met. Deferred revenue as of
December 31, 2021 of $8.1 million was fully recognized in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the deferred revenue balance
as of September 30, 2022 of $6.6 million is expected to be
fully recognized within the next twelve months. The Company
generally invoices customers and receives payment on an upfront
basis and payments do not include significant financing components
or variable consideration and there are generally no rights of
return or refunds after the subscription period has
passed.
All revenues during the periods presented were recognized over
time, as opposed to at a point in time. Substantially all of the
revenue has been generated in the United States during the periods
presented.
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s cost of revenue primarily consists of web hosting,
internet service costs, credit card processing costs and inventory
costs related to multi-media offerings.
Product Development Costs
Product development costs include salaries and benefits for
employees, including engineering and technical teams who are
responsible for building new products, as well as improving
existing products. Product development costs that do not meet the
criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period
incurred. Advertising expense totaled $2.3 million and $4.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, and $12.6 million and $11.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are
included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures fair value of employee stock-based
compensation awards on the date of grant and allocates the related
expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of
restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units
is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the
date of grant. The fair value of the Class P Units is measured
using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied
volatilities for comparable companies, the expected life of the
award is based on the simplified method. When awards include a
performance condition that impacts the vesting of the award, the
Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the
performance condition will be met and the expense will be
attributed over the performance period.
The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based transactions
using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e., the value
of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable.
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes under ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under the guidance,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and
liabilities and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax
rates applicable to the future period when those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of
a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is
recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. A
valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is
more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an
estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, adjusted for
discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter,
the Company updates its estimate of its annual effective tax rate,
and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company
makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax
provision, and estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate,
is subject to variation due to several factors, including
variability in pre-tax income (or loss), revaluations of the
warrant liability, changes in flow-through income not subject to
tax and tax law developments.
As a result of the Business Combination, WM Technology, Inc. became
the sole managing member of WMH LLC, which is treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local
income tax purposes. As a partnership, WMH LLC is not subject to
U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Accordingly,
no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been
recorded in the financial statements for the period of January 1 to
June 16, 2021 as this period was prior to the Business Combination.
Any taxable income or loss generated by WMH LLC is passed through
to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members,
including WM Technology, Inc. following the Business Combination,
on a pro rata basis. WM Technology, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal
income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with
respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of WMH LLC
following the Business Combination. The Company is also subject to
taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million and $5.7 million,
respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2021, an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 was the result of the tax benefit of the
Company's pro rata share of losses and tax credits flowing through
from WM Holding LLC. The tax benefit related to U.S. federal and
state tax benefits from certain Business Combination-related
expenses offset, in part, by income taxes recorded during the
period ended March 31, 2021 as a result of an audit performed by
the Canada Revenue Agency on prior years income taxes paid by the
Company’s subsidiary, WM Canada Holdings, Inc. The effective tax
rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due
to the impact of warrant valuations, non-controlling interests
represented by the portion of the flow-through income not subject
to tax, permanent stock-based compensation and state
taxes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
acquired additional interest in WM Holding Company LLC (“LLC
Interests”) in connection with the exchange of LLC Interests, and
activity relating to its stock compensation plan. The Company
recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $28.5 million
associated with the basis difference in its investment in WM
Holding Company LLC upon acquisition of these LLC Interests, some
of which are related to the additional tax basis increases
generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable
Agreement (“TRA”), some of which are partially offset by the TRA
liability amount of $14.3 million, and these amounts were
recorded through equity.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For
those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The
Company does not believe it has any uncertain income tax positions
that are more-likely-than-not to materially affect its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one business
segment.
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Earnings Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average
number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the
period.
Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all
potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The
dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if
any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application
of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable.
Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in
the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance
conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been
satisfied by the end of the reporting period. See Note 13 for
additional information on dilutive securities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments are potentially subject to
concentrations of credit risk. The Company places its cash with
high quality credit institutions. From time to time, the Company
maintains cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Management believes
that the risk of loss is not significant and has not experienced
any losses in such accounts.
Reclassifications
Repayments of insurance premium financing in the amount of
$3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was
previously classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows
under cash used in the operating activities in the prior year.
During the nine month ended September 30, 2022, the Company
reclassified the repayments to cash used in financing activities in
accordance with ASC 230 - Statement of Cash Flows. There is no
impact to the total cash flow activities from this
reclassification.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting
for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with
Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require
that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract
liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from
Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). At the acquisition date, an
acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in
accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To
achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC
606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts.
Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and
measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities
consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the
acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree financial
statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles). For public business entities, the
amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including
adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an
interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to
all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on
or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim
period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business
combinations that occur on or after the date of initial
application. The Company adopted this new guidance as of January 1,
2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Commitments and
Contingencies
Litigation
During the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it is subject
to various claims and litigation. Management believes that the
outcome of such claims or litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flow.

Public Warrants
The Company determined the fair value of the Public Warrants, based
on the publicly listed trading price of such warrants as of the
valuation date. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are classified as
Level 1 financial instruments. The fair value of the Public
Warrants was $4.1 million and $16.8 million as of
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.
Private Placement Warrants
The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is
determined with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes model. The
significant inputs and assumptions in this method are the stock
price, exercise price, volatility, risk-free rate, and term or
maturity. The underlying stock price input is the closing stock
price as of each valuation date and the exercise price is the price
as stated in the warrant agreement. The volatility input was
determined using the historical volatility of comparable publicly
traded companies which operate in a similar industry or compete
directly against the Company. Volatility for each comparable
publicly traded company is calculated as the annualized standard
deviation of daily continuously compounded returns. The
Black-Scholes analysis is performed in a risk-neutral framework,
which requires a risk-free rate assumption based upon
constant-maturity treasury yields, which are interpolated based on
the remaining term of the Private Placement Warrants
WM TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
as of each valuation date. The term/maturity is the duration
between each valuation date and the maturity date, which is five
years following the date the Business Combination closed, or June

December 10, 2020, for an aggregate price of
$325.0 million.
•The
Company contributed approximately
$80.3 million
of cash to WMH LLC, representing (a) the net amount held in the
Company’s trust account following the redemption of 10,012 shares
of Class A Common Stock originally sold in the Silver Spike’s
initial public offering, less (b) cash consideration of
$455.2 million
paid to Legacy WMH Class A equity holders, plus (c)
$325.0 million in aggregate proceeds from the PIPE Financing,
less (d) the aggregate amount of transaction expenses incurred by
the parties to the Business Combination Agreement.

6. Acquisitions
Eyechronic
On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired all the equity interests
of Eyechronic LLC (“Eyechronic”) d/b/a Enlighten and rebranded as
WM Screens, a Delaware limited liability company and a provider of
software, digital signage services and multi-media offerings to
dispensaries and brands, for total consideration of approximately
$29.4 million. The Company accounted for the Eyechronic
acquisition as an acquisition of a business under ASC
805.
The acquired assets and liabilities of Eyechronic were recorded at
their preliminary acquisition date fair values. The purchase price
allocations are subject to change as the Company continues to
gather information relevant to its determination of the fair value
of the assets and liabilities acquired primarily related to, but
not limited to, intangible assets. Any adjustments to the purchase
price allocations will be made as soon as practicable but no later
than one year from the acquisition date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
incurred transaction expenses associated with the Eyechronic
acquisition of $0.1 million, which is included in general and
administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
The revenue and operating loss from Eyechronic included the
Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not material.
Pro forma revenue and earnings amounts on a combined basis have not
been presented as they are not material to the Company’s historical
pre-acquisition financial statements.
For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including
identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill
is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining
operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one
operating segment and is generally deductible for tax
purposes.
The fair values of the trade name and software technology
intangible assets are determined using an “income approach”,
specifically, the relief-from royalty approach, which is a commonly
accepted valuation approach. This approach is based on the
assumption that in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to
pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these
assets. Owning these intangible assets means that the underlying
entity wouldn’t have to pay for the privilege of deploying those
assets. Therefore, a portion of the acquired entity’s earnings,
equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the
use of the assets, can be attributed to the firm’s ownership. The
fair values of the customer relationships and customer backlog
assets were also determined using an “income approach”,
specifically a multi-period excess earnings approach, which is a
commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net
earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are
isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These
projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of
the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the
intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and
the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market
participant perspective. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were
adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers
in the future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are
expected to decline over time.

(1)The
fair value of share consideration issued in connection with the
Spout acquisition was calculated based on 1,244,258 shares of Class
A common stock issued multiplied by the share price on the closing
date of $15.42.
For acquisitions, the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, including
identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill
is primarily attributable to the expected synergies from combining
operations. Goodwill recognized was allocated to the Company’s one
operating segment and is generally deductible for tax

The fair values of the trade name intangible assets are determined

reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the
future, as existing customers are a “wasting” asset and are
expected to decline over time. The fair value of the customer
relationships are determined using an “income approach”,
specifically, the With-and-Without method, which is a commonly
accepted valuation approach. This method estimates the value of
customer-related assets by quantifying the impact on cash flows
under a scenario in which the customer-related assets must be
replaced and assuming all of the existing assets are in place
except the customer-related assets. Essentially, it estimates the
intangible asset’s value by calculating the difference between the
two discounted cash-flow models. One that represents the status quo
for the business enterprise with the asset in place and the second
that represents the business enterprise with everything in place
besides the customer-related asset. The projected cash flow period
is the time-period it takes to build back up to that status quo.
The difference between the two cash flows represents the calculated
value of the customer-related asset.

The Company capitalizes implementation costs incurred in cloud
computing arrangements that are service contracts if they meet
certain requirements. Those requirements are similar to the
requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to
develop internal-use software. Amortization is computed using the
straight-line method over the term of the associated hosting
arrangement. These implementation costs are classified on the
balance sheet in prepaid and other current assets, and the related
cash flows are presented as cash outflows from operations.
Impairment is recognized and measured when it is no longer probable
that the computer software project will be completed and placed in
service.
The Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.8 million
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,

Private Placement Warrants) are not transferable, assignable or
salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business
Combination, subject to certain exceptions, and they are
nonredeemable as long as they are held by Silver Spike Sponsor or
its permitted transferees. Silver Spike Sponsor, as well as its
permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private
Placement Warrants on a cashless basis and will have certain
registration rights related to such Private Placement Warrants.
Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions
that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private
Placement Warrants are held by holders other than Silver Spike
Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement
Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the
holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable
to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all
applicable state securities laws.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management
will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise
the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in
the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be
adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share
dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization,
reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Public
Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A
Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in
no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public
Warrants.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants
underlying the units sold in the initial public offering, except
that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were
not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the
completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited
exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be
exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as
they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone
other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees,
the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company
and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public
Warrants.
The Company concluded the Public Warrants and Private Placement
Warrants, or the Warrants, meet the definition of a derivative
under ASC 815- Derivatives and Hedging (as described in Note 2) and
are recorded as liabilities. Upon the Closing, the fair value of
the Warrants was recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of
the Warrants are remeasured as of each balance sheet date, which
resulted in non-cash gains of $6.6 million and $45.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, and non-cash gains of $20.6 million and $83.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively

Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interest represents the Units held by holders
other than the Company. As of September 30, 2022, the
noncontrolling interests owned 39.9% of the Units outstanding. The
noncontrolling interests’ ownership percentage can fluctuate over
time, including as the WMH LLC equity holders elect to exchange
Units for Class A Common Stock. The Company has consolidated the
financial position and results of operations of WMH LLC and
reflected the proportionate interest held by the WMH LLC Unit
equity holders as noncontrolling interests.
12. Stock-based Compensation
WM Holding Company, LLC Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has accounted for the issuance of Class A-3 and
Class B Units issued under WM Holding Company, LLC’s Equity
Incentive Plan in accordance with ASC 718 -
Stock Based Compensation.
The Company considers the limitation on the exercisability of the
Class A-3 and Class B Units to be a performance condition
and records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the
performance condition will be met.
In connection with the Business Combination, each of the Class A-3
Units outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled,
and the holder thereof received a number of Class A units
representing limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the
“Class A Units”) and an equivalent number of shares of Class V
Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (together with the Class
A Units, the “Paired Interests”), and each of the Class B Units
outstanding prior to the Business Combination were cancelled and
holders thereof received a number of Class P units representing
limited liability company interests of WMH LLC (the “Class P Units”
and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), each in
accordance with the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the Unit
holders entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange
Agreement”). The terms of the Exchange Agreement, among other
things, provide the Unit holders (or certain permitted transferees
thereof) with the right from time to time at and after 180 days
following the Business Combination to exchange their vested Paired
Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock
splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or Class P Units for
shares of Class A Common Stock with a value equal to the value of
such Class P Units less their participation threshold, or in each
case, at the Company’s election, the cash equivalent of such shares
of Class A Common Stock.

September 30, 2022 is as follows:

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense for non-vested Class P Units was $2.2 million,
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
of 1.6 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022
and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for
the Class P Units of $0.6 million and $0.7 million,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the
Class P Units of $1.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively.
Due to the Business Combination completed in the second quarter of
2021, certain limitations on exercisability related to the
Company’s Class P equity awards issued to employees and consultants
were removed and as a result, the Company recognized the
life-to-date expense on units vested through the Business
Combination date on those equity awards during the 2021 period. The
stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30,
2021 also included a one-time incremental expense of
$4.1 million related to an award modification as a result of
an advisory agreement entered into with a former
executive.
WM Technology, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted
the WM Technology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021
Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock
options to employees and for the grant of

nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and
other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and
consultants. As of September 30, 2022, 25,768,971 shares of
Class A Common Stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards
under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares of Class A Common stock
reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically
increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years
commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January
1, 2031, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total
number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on
December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however that the Board
may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the
increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock. As of September 30, 2022, 12,127,760 shares of Class A
Common Stock are available for future issuance.

As of September 30, 2022, unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense for non-vested RSUs was $63.0 million, which
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8
years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,
the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the RSUs
of $5.3 million and $15.8 million,
respectively.
The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units
(“PRSUs”) with performance and service-based vesting conditions.
The level of achievement of such goals may cause the actual number
of units that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the
original units granted. The Company recognizes expense ratably over
the vesting period for the PRSUs when it is probable that the
performance criteria specified will be achieved. The fair value is
equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date
of grant.

During the second quarter of 2022, management determined that the
achievement of the minimum thresholds of the performance criteria
of its PRSUs is not probable. As a result, the Company recorded an
adjustment to reverse all stock compensation expense previously
recorded for these awards. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation credits for the PRSUs of $4.2 million and
$0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the
unrecognized compensation expense related to these PRUs was
$15.6 million, which will be amortized over the remaining
requisite service period if and when the Company determines that
vesting is probable.

13. Earnings Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed
by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to WM Technology, Inc.
by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share of
Class A Common Stock adjusts basic net income (loss) per share of
Class A Common Stock for the potentially dilutive impact of
securities. For warrants that are liability-classified, during
periods when the impact is dilutive, the Company assumes share
settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting
period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value
of the warrant liability, net of the portion attributable to
non-controlling interests, and adjusts the denominator to include
the dilutive shares calculated using the treasury stock
method.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read together with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes
to those statements included in Item 1 “Financial Statements” in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical
financial information, the following discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of
selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors,
including those discussed under “Risk Factors” and included
elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2021.
Overview
On June 16, 2021, WM Holding Company, LLC (when referred to in its
pre-Business Combination capacity, “Legacy WMH” and following the
Business Combination, “WMH LLC”) completed its previously announced
business combination with Silver Spike Acquisition Corp (“Silver
Spike”). Legacy WMH was deemed to be the accounting acquirer under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”). In connection with the closing, Silver Spike
changed its name to WM Technology, Inc. As used in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise,
references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” and similar
references refer to WM Technology, Inc, and its subsidiaries
following the Business Combination and to Legacy WMH prior to the
Business Combination.
Founded in 2008, WM Technology, Inc. operates a leading online
cannabis marketplace for consumers together with a comprehensive
set of eCommerce and compliance software solutions for cannabis
businesses, which are sold to retailers and brands in the United
States state-legal and Canadian cannabis markets. Our comprehensive
business-to-consumer (“B2C”) and business-to-business (“B2B”) suite
of products afford cannabis retailers and brands of all sizes
integrated tools to compliantly run their businesses and to reach,
convert, and retain consumers.
Our business primarily consists of our commerce-driven marketplace,
Weedmaps, and its fully integrated suite of end-to-end SaaS
solutions software offering, Weedmaps for Business. The Weedmaps
marketplace provides cannabis consumers with information regarding
cannabis retailers and brands. In addition, the Weedmaps
marketplace aggregates data from a variety of sources including
retailer point-of-sale solutions to provide consumers with the
ability to browse by strain, pricing, cannibinoids and other
information regarding locally available cannabis products, through
our website and mobile apps. The marketplace provides consumers
with product discovery, access to deals and discounts, and
reservation of products for pickup by consumers or delivery to
consumers by participating retailers. The marketplace also provides
education and learning information to help newer consumers learn
about the types of products to purchase. We believe the size,
loyalty and engagement of our user base and the frequency of
consumption of cannabis of that user base is highly valuable to our
clients and results in clients paying for our
services.
Weedmaps for Business, our SaaS offering, is a comprehensive set of
eCommerce and compliance software solutions catered towards
cannabis retailers, delivery services and brands. These solutions
support cannabis businesses at every stage in the consumer funnel,
enabling them to:
•Strategically
reach prospective cannabis consumers;
•Manage
pick-up, delivery and inventory in compliance with local
regulations;
•Help
improve the customer experience by creating online browsing and
ordering offerings functionality on a brand, retailer or delivery
operator’s website and by extending that functionality in-store
with kiosks;
•Foster
customer loyalty and re-engage with segments of
consumers;
•Leverage
the Weedmaps for Business products in conjunction with any other
preferred software solutions via integrations and application
programming interfaces (“APIs”); and
•Make
informed marketing and merchandising decisions using performance
analytics and consumer and brand insights to promote products to
specific consumer groups.
We charge a monthly fee to retailer and brand clients for access to
our WM Pages subscription package which includes:

purchase interest to a retailer that carries the brand’s
product;
•WM
Store: Customizable menus for brands, retailers and delivery
operators to embed on their website that facilitate customer
pick-up or delivery orders and reach to more customers by bringing

menu management, automatic inventory updates and streamlined order

We sell our Weedmaps for Business suite in the United States and
currently offer some of our Weedmaps for Business solutions in
Canada and have a limited number of non-monetized listings in
several other countries including Austria, Germany, the
Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. We operate in the United
States, Canada, and other foreign jurisdictions where medical
and/or adult cannabis use is legal under state or applicable
national law. We are headquartered in Irvine,
California.
Our mission is to power a transparent and inclusive global cannabis
economy. Our technology addresses the challenges facing both
consumers seeking to understand cannabis products and businesses
who serve cannabis users in a legally compliant fashion. Over the
past 14 years, the Weedmaps marketplace has become a premier
destination for cannabis consumers to discover and browse
information regarding cannabis and cannabis products, permitting
product discovery and order-ahead for pickup or delivery by
participating retailers. Weedmaps for Business is a set of
eCommerce-enablement tools designed to help
retailers and brands get the best out of the Weedmaps’ consumer
experience, create labor efficiencies, and manage compliance
needs.
We hold a strong belief in the importance of enabling safe, legal
access to cannabis for consumers worldwide. We believe we offer the
only comprehensive software platform that allows cannabis retailers
to reach their target audience, quickly and cost effectively,
addressing a wide range of needs. We are committed to building the
software solutions that power cannabis businesses compliantly in
the industry, to advocating for legalization, licensing and social
equity of cannabis, and to facilitating further learning through
partnership with subject matter experts on providing detailed,
accurate information about cannabis.
We have grown the Weedmaps marketplace to become the premier
destination for cannabis consumers to discover and browse
information regarding cannabis and cannabis products with 5,576 and
5,380 average monthly paying business clients during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, on the
supply-side of our marketplace. These paying clients include
retailers, brands and other client types (such as doctors).
Further, these clients, who can choose to purchase multiple
listings solutions for each business, had purchased over 9,200
listing pages as of September 30, 2022. The Weedmaps
marketplace provides consumers with information regarding cannabis
retailers and brands, as well as the strain, pricing, and other
information regarding locally available cannabis products, through
our website and mobile apps, permitting product discovery and
order-ahead for pickup or delivery by participating retailers. Our
weedmaps.com site, our iOS Weedmaps mobile application and our
Android Weedmaps mobile application also have educational content
including news articles, information about cannabis strains, a
number of “how-to” guides, policy white-papers and research to
allow consumers to educate themselves on cannabis and its history,
uses and legal status. While consumers can discover cannabis
products, brands, and retailers on our site, we neither sell (or
fulfill purchases of) cannabis products, nor do we process payments
for cannabis transactions across our marketplace or SaaS
solutions.
Business Combination and Public Company Costs
On June 16, 2021, Silver Spike consummated the business combination
(the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the certain Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated December 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among Silver Spike, Silver Spike Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of
Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), Legacy WMH, and
Ghost Media Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely
in its capacity as the initial holder representative (the “Holder
Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub
merged with and into Legacy WMH, whereupon the separate limited
liability company existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy WMH
became the surviving company and continued in existence as a
subsidiary of Silver Spike. On the Closing Date, and in connection
with the Closing, Silver Spike changed its name to WM Technology,
Inc. Legacy WMH was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the
Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined
in Accounting Standards Codification 805. While Silver Spike was
the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy WMH
was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial
statements of Legacy WMH became the historical financial statements
of the combined company, upon the Closing.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a “reverse
recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a
new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the
combined entity represent the continuation of the financial
statements of Legacy WMH in many respects. Under this method of
accounting, Silver Spike was treated as the “acquired” company for
financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Legacy WMH
was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and,
consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of
Legacy WMH (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of
stock by Silver Spike for the stock of Legacy WMH). Accordingly,
the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of
Legacy WMH became the historical financial statements of the
combined company, and Silver Spike’s assets, liabilities and
results of operations were consolidated with Legacy WMH beginning
on the acquisition date. Operations prior to the Business
Combination are presented as those of Legacy WMH. The net assets of
Silver Spike were recognized at historical cost (which are
consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other
intangible assets recorded.
As a consequence of the Business Combination, Legacy WMH became the
successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which
requires us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures
and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and
customary practices. We have and expect to continue to incur
additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other
things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees
and additional internal and external accounting, legal and
administrative resources, including increased audit and legal
fees.

Revenue
We offer Weedmaps for Business subscriptions, which include access
to the Weedmaps marketplace and certain SaaS solutions. As add-ons
for additional fees, we offer other products, including featured
listings, placements, promoted deals, nearby listings, other
display advertising, customer relationship management, digital
menus, and delivery and logistics services. Our Weedmaps for
Business subscriptions generally have one-month terms that
automatically renew unless notice of cancellation is provided in
advance. We have a fixed inventory of featured listing and display
advertising in each market, and price is generally determined
through a competitive auction process that reflects local market
demand, though we are testing a more dynamic, performance-based
pricing model for these solutions across several markets. For
clients that pay us in advance for listing and other services we
record deferred revenue and recognize revenue over the applicable
subscription term.
Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
before Provision for Doubtful Accounts
Our financial statements, including net income (loss), are prepared
in accordance with GAAP. For more information regarding the
components within our net income (loss), see “Components of Our
Results of Operations” below.
Net (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021 was $(10.5) million and $49.2 million, respectively. The
decrease in net income of $59.7 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue of
$0.4 million, an increase in operating expenses of $23.3 million, a
decrease in other income of $39.0 million, which includes a
decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of $39.2
million, and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $3.0
million.
Net (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021 was $(21.8) million and $73.8 million, respectively. The
decrease in net income of $95.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in revenue of
$27.3 million, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $70.9
million, a decrease in other income of $57.9 million, which
includes a decrease in change in fair value of warrant liability of
$63.0 million, and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $5.9
million. For more information regarding the components of our net
(loss) income, see “Components of Our Results of Operations”
below.
To provide investors with additional information regarding our
financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and
Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts, all of
which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net
income (loss) before interest, taxes and depreciation and
amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to
exclude stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant
liability, transaction related bonuses, transaction costs, legal
settlements and other non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in
the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to
exclude provision for doubtful accounts for the case of Adjusted
EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Below we have
provided a reconciliation of net (loss) income (the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA; from EBITDA to
Adjusted EBITDA; and from Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA before
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA before
Provision for Doubtful Accounts because these metrics are a key
measure used by our management to evaluate our operating
performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic
decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity.
Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts
provide useful information to investors and others in understanding
and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our
management.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for
Doubtful Accounts have limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis
of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations
are as follows:
•although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the
future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before
Provision for Doubtful Accounts do not reflect cash capital
expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital
expenditure requirements;
•EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful
Accounts do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
working capital needs; and
•EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful
Accounts do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction
in cash available to us.
Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts
alongside other financial performance measures, including net
income (loss) and our other GAAP results.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA before Provision for Doubtful Accounts
is as follows:

Average Monthly Revenue Per Paying Client
Average monthly revenue per paying client measures how much
clients, for the period of measurement, are willing to pay us for
our subscription and additional offerings and the efficiency of the
bid-auction process for our featured listings placements. We
calculate this metric by dividing the average monthly revenue for
any particular period by the average monthly number of paying
clients in the same respective period.

Average Monthly Paying Clients
We define average monthly paying clients as the monthly average of
clients billed each month over a particular period (and for which
services were provided). Our paying clients include both individual
cannabis businesses as well as retail sites or businesses within a
larger organization that have independent relationships with us,
many of whom are owned by holding companies where decision-making
is decentralized such that purchasing decisions are made, and
relationships with us are located, at a lower organizational level.
In addition, any client may choose to purchase multiple listing
solutions for each of their retail sites or businesses. Average
monthly paying clients for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 increased approximately 25% to 5,576
average monthly paying clients from 4,444 average monthly paying
clients in the same period in 2021. Average monthly paying clients
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased
approximately 28% to 5,380 average monthly paying clients from
4,194 average monthly paying clients in the same period in 2021.
The increase in average monthly paying clients in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same
periods in 2021 was primarily due to new client acquisitions across
existing and new states and new clients acquired through
acquisitions. This growth was fully offset by a decline in our
Revenue Per Paying Client. We expected these pressures given the
continued liquidity challenges that clients are
facing.

Monthly Active Users
In addition to key financial and operational metrics listed above,
we also previously reported Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”), which
represented, in any given period, the total number of unique users
who opened our Weedmaps mobile app or gained access to our
Weedmaps.com website, including through paid advertising channels,
during the final calendar month of the period. As discussed in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022
(the “Prior 10-Q”), we decided to reevaluate the value to investors
of continuing to report MAUs as a key metric on a quarterly or
annual basis. We believe that historically, our MAU correlated to
the level of our marketing expenditure (which, as previously
explained, utilized pop-under advertisements). We observed this as
we downshifted our marketing spend, including to rely less on the
use of pop-under advertisements, during the third
quarter.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2022, our MAUs decreased to 11.2
million in the final month of the quarter ended September 30, 2022
from 17.4 million in the final month of quarter ended June 30,
2022. Our listing page visits, which is the number of visits to
retailer and brand listing pages on the marketplace, remained
relatively steady during the same period, decreasing slightly from
13.3 million in the final month of the quarter ended June 30, 2022
to 12.8 million during the final month of the quarter ended
September 30, 2022. We believe this reflects, among other things,
the value proposition the marketplace provides to repeat cannabis
consumers.
We are evaluating alternative metrics to provide investors that
will shed more clarity on down-funnel marketplace behavior than
MAUs historically have, and we have determined not to report MAUs
going forward..
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Growth of Our Two-Sided Weedmaps Marketplace
We have historically grown through and intend to focus on
continuing to grow through the expansion of our two-sided
marketplace, which occurs through growth of the number and type of
businesses and consumers that we attract to our platform. We
believe that expansion of the number and types of cannabis
businesses that choose to list on our platform will continue to
make our platform more compelling for consumers and drive traffic
and consumer engagement, which in turn will make our platform more
valuable to cannabis businesses.
Growth and Retention of Our Paying Clients
Our revenue grows primarily through acquiring and retaining paying
clients and increasing the revenue per paying client over time. We
have a history of attracting new paying clients and increasing
their annual spend with us over time, primarily due
to the value they receive once they are onboarded and able to take
advantage of the benefits of participating in our two-sided
marketplace and leveraging our software solutions.
Prices of certain commodity products, including gas prices, are
historically volatile and subject to fluctuations arising from
changes in domestic and international supply and demand, labor
costs, competition, market speculation, government regulations,
trade restrictions and tariffs, the effects of the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic and Russia’s initiation of military action
against Ukraine. Increasing prices in the component materials for
the goods or services of our clients may impact their ability to
maintain or increase their spend with us and their ability to pay
their invoices on time. Rapid and significant changes in commodity
prices, such as fuel, may negatively affect our revenue if our
clients are unable to mitigate inflationary increases through
various customer pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives.
This could also negatively impact our net dollar retention and our
collections on accounts receivable.
Regulation and Maturation of Cannabis Markets
We believe that we will have significant opportunities for greater
growth as more jurisdictions legalize cannabis for medical and/or
adult-use and the regulatory environment continues to develop.
Thirty-eight U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
and several U.S. territories have legalized some form of
whole-plant cannabis cultivation, sales, and use for certain
medical purposes. Nineteen of those states and the District of
Columbia have also legalized cannabis use by adults for non-medical
or adult-use purposes, and several other states are at various
stages of similar legalization measures. We intend to explore new
expansion opportunities as additional jurisdictions legalize
cannabis for medical or adult use and leverage our business model
informed by our 14-year operating history to enter new
markets.
We also have a significant opportunity to monetize transactions
originating from users engaging with a retailer on the Weedmaps
marketplace or tracked via one of our Weedmaps for Business
solutions. Given U.S. federal prohibitions on plant-touching
businesses and our current policy not to participate in the chain
of commerce associated with the sale of cannabis products, we do
not charge take-rates or payment fees for transactions originating
from users who engage with a retailer on the Weedmaps platform or
tracked via one of our Weedmaps for Business solutions. A change in
U.S. federal regulations could result in our ability to engage in
such monetization efforts without adverse consequences to our
business.
Our long-term growth depends on our ability to successfully
capitalize on new and existing cannabis markets. Each market must
reach a critical mass of both cannabis businesses and consumers for
listing subscriptions, advertising placements and other solutions
to have meaningful appeal to potential clients. As regulated
markets mature and as we incur expenses to attract paying clients
and convert non-paying clients to paying clients, we may generate
losses in new markets for an extended period.
Furthermore, we compete with cannabis-focused and general two-sided
marketplaces, internet search engines, and various other newspaper,
television and media companies and other software providers. We
expect competition to intensify in the future as the regulatory
regime for cannabis becomes more settled and the legal market for
cannabis becomes more accepted, which may encourage new
participants to enter the market, including established companies
with substantially greater financial, technical and other resources
than existing market participants. Our current and future
competitors may also enjoy other competitive advantages, such as
greater name recognition, more offerings and larger marketing
budgets.
Brand Recognition and Reputation
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand identity and
our reputation is critical to maintaining and growing our
relationships with clients and consumers and to our ability to
attract new clients and consumers. Historically, a substantial
majority of our marketing spending was on out-of-home advertising
on billboards, buses and other non-digital outlets. Starting in
2019, consistent with the overall shift in perceptions regarding
cannabis, a number of demand-side digital advertising platforms
allowed us to advertise online. We also invested in growing our
internal digital performance advertising team. We believe there is
an opportunity to improve market efficiency through digital
channels and expect to shift our marketing spending accordingly.
Over the longer term, we expect to shift and accelerate our
marketing spend to additional online and traditional channels, such
as broadcast television or radio, as they become available to
us.
Negative publicity, whether or not justified, relating to events or
activities attributed to us, our employees, clients or others
associated with any of these parties, may tarnish our reputation
and reduce the value of our brand. Given our high visibility and
relatively long operating history compared to many of our
competitors, we may be more susceptible to the risk of negative
publicity. Damage to our reputation and loss of brand equity may
reduce demand for our platform and have an adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, any
attempts to rebuild our reputation and restore the value of our
brand may be costly and time consuming, and such efforts may not
ultimately be successful.
We also believe that the importance of our brand recognition and
reputation will continue to increase as competition in our market
continues to develop. If our brand promotion activities are not
successful, our operating results and growth may be adversely
impacted.
Investments in Growth
We intend to continue to make focused organic and inorganic
investments to grow our revenue and scale operations to support
that growth.
Given our long operating history in the United States and the
strength of our network, often businesses will initially list on
our platform without targeted sales or marketing efforts by us.
However, we plan to accelerate our investments in marketing to
maintain and increase our brand awareness through both online and
offline channels. We also plan to invest in expanding our business
listings thereby enhancing our client and consumer experience, and
improving the depth and quality of information provided on our
platform. We also intend to continue to invest in several areas to
continue enhancing the functionality of our Weedmaps for Business
offering. We expect significant near-term investments to enhance
our data assets and evolve our current listings and software
offerings to our brand clients, among other areas. We anticipate
undertaking such investments in order to be positioned to
capitalize on the rapidly expanding cannabis market.
On January 14, 2022, we acquired Eyechronic LLC (“Eyechronic”)
d/b/a Enlighten, a Delaware limited liability company and a
provider of software, digital signage services and multi-media
offerings to dispensaries and brands. We are continuing to
integrate Eyechronic and our other acquisitions and will continue
to invest in them appropriately to scale during this fiscal year
2022.
On September 3, 2021, we acquired certain assets of the Sprout
business (“Sprout"), a leading, cloud-based customer relationship
management (“CRM”) and marketing platform for the cannabis
industry.
On September 29, 2021, we acquired all of the equity interests of
Transport Logistics Holding Company, LLC (“TLH”), which is the
parent company of Cannveya & CannCurrent. Cannveya is a
logistics platform that enables the compliant delivery of cannabis
and CannCurrent is a technology integrations and connectors
platform facilitating custom integrations with third party
technology providers.
As operating expenses and capital expenditures fluctuate over time,
we may accordingly experience short-term, negative impacts to our
operating results and cash flows.
