Risk Factor Summary

Investing in our Class A common stock involves numerous risks, including the risks described in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Below are some of these risks, any one of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

•We have grown rapidly in recent years and have limited experience at our current scale of operations. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our brand, company culture, and financial performance may suffer.

•The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may in the future continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business.

•The global fashion industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

•Our continued growth depends on our ability to attract new, and retain existing, customers, which may require significant investment in paid marketing channels. If we are unable to cost-effectively grow our customer base, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

•If we fail to retain customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

•If we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand, manage our products effectively and plan for future expenses, our operating results could be adversely affected.

•Shipping and logistics are a critical part of our business and our supply chain and any changes or interruptions in shipping or logistics operations could adversely affect our operating results.

•We rely heavily on the effective operation of our proprietary technology systems and software, as well as those of our third-party vendors and service providers, for our business to effectively operate and to safeguard confidential information.

•We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our condensed consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations and our access to the capital markets to be impaired.

•Our business is subject to a large number of U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations, many of which are evolving.

•We are subject to U.S. and certain foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anticorruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance with these legal standards could impair our ability to compete in domestic and international markets, and we could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could harm our business.

•Failure to adequately maintain and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

•We are subject to rapidly changing and increasingly stringent laws and industry standards relating to data privacy, data security, data protection, and consumer protection. The restrictions and costs imposed by these laws, or our actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could subject us to liabilities that adversely affect our business, operations, and financial performance.

•We face risks associated with brand partners from whom our products are sourced or co-manufactured.

•We rely on third parties for elements of the payment processing infrastructure underlying our business. If these third-party elements become unavailable or unavailable on favorable terms, our business could be adversely affected.

•We depend on search engines, social media platforms, mobile application stores, content-based online advertising and other online sources to attract consumers to and promote our website and our mobile application, which may be affected by third-party interference beyond our control and as we grow our customer acquisition costs will continue to rise.

•Any failure by us, our brand partners, or our third-party manufacturers to comply with our vendor code of conduct, product safety, labor, or other laws, or to provide safe factory conditions for their workers, may damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business.

•The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq, including our Co-Founders, and their affiliates, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change of control.

•Our share price may be volatile, and investors may be unable to sell their shares at or above the price they purchased them.

If we are unable to adequately address these and other risks we face, our business may be harmed.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)

1.Business

Description of Business

Rent the Runway, Inc.’s (the “Company”) mission is to power women to feel their best every day. Launched in November 2009, the Company has built the world’s first and largest shared designer closet with approximately 19,000 styles by over 780 brand partners. The Company gives customers access to its “unlimited closet” through its subscription offering or the ability to rent a-la-carte through its reserve offering (“Reserve”). The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Brooklyn, New York and the operational facilities are located in Secaucus, New Jersey, and Arlington, Texas. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rent the Runway Limited (the “Subsidiary”), is located in Galway, Ireland, and is focused on software development and support activities.

All revenue is currently generated in the United States. Substantially all revenue is derived from rental subscription fees and a-la-carte rental fees, with a portion derived from the sale of apparel and accessories and other fees.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared by management on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

resources, and evaluating financial performance. All revenue is attributed to customers based in the United States and substantially all the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Initial Public Offering

On October 27, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and the Company’s Class A common stock began public trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “RENT”. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued and sold 17,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share. The Company received proceeds of $327.1 million from the IPO which are net of underwriting discounts of $24.1 million and offering costs payable by the Company of $5.8 million (of which $1.4 million were paid as of October 31, 2021). Offering costs, including legal, accounting, printing and other costs directly related to the IPO have been recorded in Additional paid-in capital against the proceeds from the IPO on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

At the closing of the IPO, the Company’s then outstanding redeemable preferred stock converted into 32,575,462 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The carrying value of the redeemable preferred stock of $409.3 million was reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in-capital.

In connection with the effectiveness of the Company’s IPO registration statement on Form S-1 (the “registration statement”), the Company recognized $14.4 million in stock-based compensation expense for (i) certain RSUs that contain both service-based and liquidity based vesting conditions satisfied upon the effectiveness of the registration statement and (ii) the fully vested portion of certain RSU awards that were granted upon the effectiveness of the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted an amended charter and adopted amended bylaws. The amended charter authorized capital stock consisting of:

•300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share;

•50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share; and

•10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Holders of the Class A are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to twenty votes per share. Immediately after the effectiveness of the amended charter, 2,939,928 shares of Class A common stock held by the Company’s co-founders were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock. In addition, the terms of certain outstanding equity awards held by the Company’s cofounders were modified to provide that such awards are exercisable or settle into shares of Class B common stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful life and salvage value of rental product, incremental borrowing rate to determine lease liabilities, and the valuation of share-based compensation and warrants.

As of October 31, 2021, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition continue to evolve. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company believes no significant credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments.

No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s revenue during the three or nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs, in which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, due to the relatively short duration of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt instruments approximate their fair values as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

Rental Product, Net

The Company considers rental product to be a long-term productive asset and, as such, classifies it as a noncurrent asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Rental product is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates rental product, less an estimated salvage value, over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The useful life is determined based on historical trends and an assessment of any future changes. The salvage value considers the historical trends and projected liquidation proceeds for the assets. The estimated useful lives and salvage values are described below:


	Useful Life	Salvage Value
Apparel	3 years	20	%
Accessories	2 years	30	%

Table of Contents

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)

In accordance with its policy, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and salvage values of rental product on an ongoing basis.

Rental product is classified as held for sale and written down to salvage value at the time it is no longer considered rentable. The value of rental product held for sale as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021 was $2.7 million and $6.4 million, net, respectively. The accelerated depreciation related to rental product held for sale was $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively, and $3.2 million and $6.6 million, for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. The accelerated depreciation is presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within rental product depreciation and revenue share.

The Company records write-offs for the remaining net book value of rental product sold, and separately records write-offs for losses on lost, damaged, and unreturned apparel and accessories. These write-offs are presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations within rental product depreciation and revenue share.

The Company offers its customers an opportunity to purchase items prior to the end of their estimated useful life. In such instances, the Company considers the disposal of such rental product to be a sale and, as such, records the proceeds as other revenue and the net book value of the items at the time of sale as rental product depreciation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash proceeds and the cost of rental product are classified as cash flows from investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, because the predominant activity of the rental product purchased is to generate subscription and a-la-carte rental revenue. The cash proceeds associated with these sales were $9.0 million and $14.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Subscription and a-la-carte rental fees (“Subscription and Reserve rental revenue”) are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, Topic 842 (“ASC 842”). Other revenue, primarily related to the sale of rental product, is recognized under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) at the date of delivery of the product to the customer. Other revenue represented 8.0% and 14.1% of total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 8.8% and 13.9% of total revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue is presented net of promotional discounts. Promotional discounts are recognized in accordance with either ASC 842 or ASC 606, based on the guidance applied to the rental fees or product sales to which the promotional discounts are related. Revenue is presented net of taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenue is also presented net of customer credits and refunds. A liability is recognized at the time a customer credit or a gift card is issued, and revenue is recognized upon redemption of the credit or gift card. The Company’s customer credit liability is presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, $0.7 million and $0.8 million of credits included in the customer credit liability as of July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, respectively, were redeemed. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, $1.6 million and $1.0 million of credits included in the customer credit liability as of January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively, were redeemed. Customer credits and gift cards do not have expiration dates. Over time, a portion of these instruments is not redeemed. The Company continues to maintain the full liability for the unredeemed portion of the credits and gift cards when the Company has any legal obligation to remit such credits to government authorities in relevant jurisdictions.

Subscription and Reserve Rental Revenue

The Company recognizes rental revenue from subscription and a-la-carte rental fees in accordance with ASC 842. Subscription fees are recognized ratably over the subscription period, commencing on the date the subscriber enrolls in the rental program. The fees are collected upon enrollment. The subscription automatically renews on a monthly basis until cancelled by the customer. Subscribers can pause or cancel their subscriptions at any time.

The Company recognizes fees for a-la-carte rentals ratably over the rental period, which starts with the date of delivery of rental product to the customer. A-la-carte rental orders can be placed up to 4 months prior to the rental start date and the customer’s payment form is charged upon order confirmation. The Company defers recognizing the fees and any related promotions for a-la-carte rentals until the date of delivery, and then recognizes those fees ratably over the 4-or 8-day rental period.

The Company accrues for credits and refunds issued subsequent to the balance sheet date that relate to rentals prior to the balance sheet date. These amounts were not material as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from the sale of rental product. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of rental product in accordance with ASC 606. Sale of rental product occurs in two forms: (i) liquidation at the end of the useful life and; (ii) customer purchase of rental product at a discounted price, calculated as a percentage of retail value. Payment is due upon order confirmation and there is no financing component. The single performance obligation associated with rental product sales is generally satisfied upon delivery of the rental product to the customer. The Company does not have any material contractual receivables, assets, or liabilities with respect to other revenue as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as an expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Equity classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Determining the fair value of options at the grant date requires judgment, including the expected term that stock options will be outstanding prior to exercise, the associated volatility, and the expected dividend yield. The fair value of common stock post-IPO is based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Upon grant of awards, the Company also estimates an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting.

The Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which vest only upon satisfaction of both time-based service and liquidity-based conditions. The liquidity-based vesting condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness of the Company’s IPO. Share-based compensation related to any remaining time-based service after the qualifying event is recorded over the remaining requisite service period. The Company records share-based compensation expense for RSUs on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, which is generally 4 years, and only if liquidity-based conditions are considered probable to be satisfied. See Note 11 for a description of the accounting for share-based awards.

Insurance Proceeds

During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company recorded an insurance recovery of $4.0 million, related to a network issue during the year ended January 31, 2020. This amount is recorded in other income / (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU allows implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement. The ASU also requires amortization expense be recognized in the same line item as the related fees associated with the arrangement and related capitalized implementation costs be presented in the same line as the prepayment for the hosting fee. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on February 1, 2021, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also improves the consistency in application of other areas by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments of this standard may be adopted on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This guidance also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans, and available-for-sale debt securities. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3.Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company has incurred a net loss from operations since inception and has historically relied upon debt and equity financing to fund its operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business. As a result, the Company experienced a significant decline in active subscribers, subscription revenue and a-la-carte rental revenue and a significant increase in net loss in fiscal year 2020. While the Company has experienced active subscriber revenue growth during the nine months ended October 31, 2021, it is uncertain when subscription revenue and a-la-carte rental revenue will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. To the extent that the strength or pace of the Company’s COVID-19 recovery lags from what is currently anticipated, the Company has established plans to preserve existing cash liquidity, which could include reducing labor, operating expenses and/or capital expenditures.

Bank of America Line of Credit

In April 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America and an asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) was put in place with Bank of America as agent and a lender, and Barclays Bank PLC and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as additional lenders. The Line of Credit provided for revolving advances up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million, with an incremental uncommitted accordion of $50.0 million.

The Line of Credit contained various events of default, the occurrence of which could have resulted in termination of the lenders’ commitments to lend and the acceleration of all obligations under the Line of Credit. In October 2020, the Company entered into a new secured term loan senior credit agreement with Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund V, L.P. (the “Ares Facility” described below) and repaid all outstanding principal on the Line of Credit, and terminated the credit commitments. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on debt extinguishment related to this transaction.

Temasek Facility

In July 2018, the Company entered into a subordinated, junior lien term loan agreement with Double Helix Pte Ltd. as administrative agent for Temasek Holdings (the “Temasek Facility”). The Company drew $100.0 million under the Temasek Facility at closing with the ability to draw an additional $100.0 million in multiple drawings at any time prior to July 23, 2020 (the “Initial Temasek Commitments”) based on meeting certain performance and financial tests at each draw.

In November 2019, the Company drew an additional $50.0 million of the Initial Temasek Commitments and amended the Temasek Facility to include an additional $30.0 million of committed availability (the “Subsequent Temasek Commitments”). In March 2020, the Company drew the remaining $50.0 million of the Initial Temasek Commitments and the $30.0 million of the Subsequent Temasek Commitments.

Prior to the termination of the Ares Facility, Temasek Facility was both lien-subordinated and payment-subordinated to the Ares Facility (described below) pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into in October 2020 that functions as both a secured lender intercreditor agreement and a subordination agreement (for payment subordination); the Ares Facility was senior debt, and the Temasek facility was subordinated debt with respect to the Ares Facility.

The Initial Temasek Commitments had an interest rate of 15% per annum that accrued as noncash interest. The Subsequent Temasek Commitments had a cash interest rate of 13% per annum, payable quarterly. The Temasek Facility required mandatory prepayment upon certain defined triggering events as well as optional prepayments, but such mandatory prepayments were not required to be made while the Ares Facility was outstanding.

In October 2021, the Company used proceeds from the IPO to pay down the Subsequent Temasek Commitments of $30.0 million outstanding principal and interest in full. Concurrently, the Company entered into an amendment to the Temasek Facility (the “Temasek Facility Amendment”). The Temasek Facility as amended by the Temasek Facility Amendment is referred to as the “Amended Temasek Facility”. This transaction was accounted for as a debt modification. The terms of the Temasek Facility Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) an extension of the maturity to October 2024, (ii) an outstanding principal under the Amended Temasek Facility of $271.6 million (with no additional debt proceeds having been funded and after giving effect to the repayment described below), and (iii) amended interest rate of 12% with up to 5% payable in kind. On the effective date of the Temasek Facility Amendment, the Company paid down an additional $30.0 million of the outstanding principal of the Amended Temasek Facility, for a total of $60.0 million principal paydown on the Temasek Facility and Amended Temasek Facility.

The Amended Temasek Facility requires the Company to comply with specified nonfinancial covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, payment of dividends, making of investments, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions, modifications of certain agreements and its fiscal year, and granting of liens. Additionally, the Amended Temasek Facility includes a minimum liquidity maintenance covenant of $50.0 million and amends the call protection applicable to the loans outstanding thereunder including the ability to refinance at a lower penalty within 12 months from the date of the amendment. The Amended Temasek Facility contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of obligations under each respective facility.

In July 2018, in connection with the Initial Temasek Commitments, the Company recorded a debt discount of $11.7 million, of which $1.4 million related to closing fees paid and $10.3 million related to the allocation of proceeds to the warrants issued. Please refer to Note 10 for the details of the warrants outstanding in relation to the Temasek Facility. These amounts were accreted to the principal amount of the Temasek Facility through the recognition of noncash interest expense. The effective interest rate for the Temasek Facility for the period from the date of issuance through the date of the Temasek Facility Amendment was 15.95%. As of October 31, 2021 the debt discount associated with the Initial Temasek Commitments was fully accreted.

In October 2021, in connection with the Amended Temasek Facility, the Company recorded a debt discount of $15.3 million, of which $0.2 million related to lender fees, $5.3 million related to the allocation of proceeds to warrants issued in relation to the Amended Temasek Facility, $1.0 million related to the extension of the term of warrants issued in relation to the Temasek Facility, and $8.8 million related to fees incurred to amend the Amended Temasek Facility. These amounts are being accreted to the principal amount of the Amended Temasek Facility through the recognition of noncash interest expense. The effective interest rate for the Amended Temasek Facility for the period from the date of issuance through October 31, 2021 was 14.29%.

The Company determined that all of the embedded features of the Temasek Facility and Amended Temasek Facility were clearly and closely related to the debt host and did not require bifurcation as a derivative liability, or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Ares Facility

In October 2020, the Company entered into the Ares Facility with Alter Domus (US) LLC as administrative agent for Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund V, L.P. (“Ares”). The Company received gross proceeds equal to $75.0 million (the “Ares Original Principal”). In conjunction with the incurrence of the Ares Facility, the Company received proceeds from Ares of $25.0 million for the issuance of 1,695,955 shares of Series G redeemable preferred stock. The total transaction resulted in the receipt of $100.0 million in exchange for the Ares Facility, Series G redeemable preferred stock and issuance of common stock warrants (the “Ares Financing Transaction”).

The Ares Facility had an interest rate of 8% per annum accrued as noncash interest. The Ares Facility required quarterly principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount. The remaining principal balance would have become due in 2023. The Ares Facility required an exit payment of $1.5 million which was to be paid once the Ares Facility matured or the Ares Original Principal was paid in full.

The Ares Facility was secured by a first priority lien over substantially all assets of the Company. The Ares Facility required the Company to comply with substantially the same specified nonfinancial covenants as the Temasek Facility, including but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, making of investments, the payment of dividends, sale of assets, mergers and acquisitions, modifications of certain agreements and its fiscal year, and granting of liens. The Ares Facility also required the Company to meet specified financial covenants that are measured based on pre-defined consolidated EBITDA thresholds. The Ares Facility required mandatory prepayment upon defined triggering events as well as permitting optional prepayments and certain of the mandatory prepayment triggering items are subject to a prepayment premium. The Ares Facility contained various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of obligations under the Ares Facility.

The Company allocated the debt discount and debt issuance costs amongst the various instruments issued in the Ares Financing Transaction. The amount allocated as a debt discount was $10.4 million, of which $1.7 million related to fees paid to the lender and $8.7 million related to the allocation of proceeds to the warrants issued. The Company also recorded debt issuance costs of $1.6 million related to other third-party costs incurred in obtaining the Ares Facility. Please refer to Note 10 for the details of the warrants issued in relation to the Ares Financing Transaction. These amounts were being accreted to the principal amount of the Ares Facility through the recognition of noncash interest expense. The effective interest rate for the period from the date of issuance through the date of repayment was 13.35%.

The Company determined that all of the embedded features of the Ares Facility were either clearly and closely related to the debt host and did not require bifurcation as a derivative liability, or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the Company paid down the Ares Facility outstanding principal and accrued interest in full and terminated the Ares Facility. The Company recognized a $12.2 million loss on debt extinguishment related to this transaction.

Covenants

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and nonfinancial covenants as of October 31, 2021.

6.Income Taxes

The Company’s provision or benefit from income taxes in interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment. The estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year is applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year.

The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on all United States net deferred tax assets for all periods presented.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021 was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of unrecognized benefits relating to the Company’s tax position is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain and a reasonable estimate of the range of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, that could potentially be reduced during the next 12 months cannot be made at this time.

8.Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value certain financial instruments. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:


		October 31,		January 31,
Description	Level	2021		2021

Liabilities:
Warrant liability – Common stock warrants	3	$	—	$	11.2
Warrant liability – Preferred stock warrants	3	—		0.6
Total liabilities		$	—	$	11.8

The warrant liabilities are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in preparing the model include estimates such as volatility, contractual terms, dividend yield, expiration dates and risk-free interest rates. Prior to the Company’s IPO, this valuation model used unobservable market share price input on a recurring basis, and therefore was considered a Level 3 liability.

The following table presents a roll forward of the fair value of the level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020:


	Warrant Liability
Balance as of January 31, 2020	$	0.6
Issuance of warrants	$	11.6
Balance as of October 31, 2020	$	12.2

Balance as of January 31, 2021	$	11.8
Issuance of warrants	0.5
Changes in estimated fair value	24.4
Exercise of warrants	(35.5)
Reclassification to equity-classified warrants	(1.2)
Balance as of October 31, 2021	$	—

The Company issued a warrant for 1,651,701 shares of common stock related to the Ares Financing Transaction with a fair value at issuance of $11.6 million and there were no changes in the estimated fair value, exercise or reclassification of the liability-classified warrants during the nine months ended October 31, 2020.

The Company issued a warrant for 40,828 shares of common stock with a fair value at issuance of $0.5 million, included in the loss on warrant liability revaluation, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2021.

These warrants were adjusted to a fair value of $35.5 million immediately prior to exercise.

The warrants for an aggregate of 88,037 shares of Series D redeemable preferred stock were converted to warrants for shares of Class A common stock as of the IPO date. These warrants were reclassified to stockholders’ equity as of the effective date of the IPO, as the redemption provision from the shares

During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company sold an additional 1,437,541 shares of Series G redeemable preferred stock for $21.2 million. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company accreted the carrying value of $409.3 million of the redeemable preferred stock to the liquidation value of $414.9 million and the Company’s 32,575,462 outstanding shares of redeemable preferred stock were converted into 32,575,462 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The accretion to liquidation value did not have a net impact on the Company’s additional paid-in capital.
