Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cricut, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated March 4, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Inventory – Valuation
As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, inclusive of adjustments for excess and obsolescence. At December 31, 2024, the Company had inventories of $134.3 million, net of $49.0 million in reserves, including reserves for excess and obsolescence.
We identified the auditing of certain inputs to the reserves for excess and obsolescence, which include SKU quantities and first sold date, historical sales and usage data, as well as assumptions over product life and customer

demand as a critical audit matter. Auditing these inputs and assumptions involved especially challenging auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address this matter.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
• Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data inputs utilized in the reserves.
• Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions through obtaining supporting documentation, performing inquiries, and assessing customer demand using historical results.
• Testing the mathematical accuracy of the reserves.
• Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions used in calculating the reserves by performing a retrospective comparison of prior estimates over product life and customer demand to actuals .

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Cricut, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and our report dated March 4, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut” or the “Company”) is a designer and marketer of a creativity platform that enables users to turn ideas into professional-looking handmade goods. Using the Company’s platform, versatile connected machines, and accessories and materials, users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations. The Company’s subscription services, connected machines and related accessories and materials are primarily marketed under the Cricut brand in the United States, as well as Europe and other countries around the world. Headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, the Company is an innovator in its industry, focused on bringing innovative technology (automation and consumerization of industrial tools) to the craft, DIY and home décor categories. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are located throughout Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Company designs, markets and distributes the Cricut family of products, including the platform, connected machines, and accessories and materials. In addition, Cricut sells a broad line of images, fonts and projects for purchase à la carte.
The Company organizes its business into the following two reportable segments: Platform and Products. See Note 18 for further discussion of the Company’s segment reporting structure.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cricut, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For revenue recognition, examples of estimates and judgments include: determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, estimating variable consideration such as customer rebates and product returns. Other estimates include the warranty reserve, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserve, intangible assets and other long-lived assets valuation, legal contingencies, stock-based compensation, income taxes, deferred tax assets valuation and developed software, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including any effects of the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company translates assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from functional currencies into United States dollars (“USD”) at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and related revenues and expenses are translated into USD at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign operations into USD are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in net income are recorded primarily within general and administrative expenses. Foreign currency transaction losses totaled $ 2.7 million, $ 1.3 million, and $ 1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
88
Table of Contents
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of two components: net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to net gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities as well as foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using USD as their functional currency.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and are stated at fair value. The Company also classifies amounts in transit from payment processors for credit card and debit card transactions as cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The Company designates investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified within cash and cash equivalents. Available-for-sale debt securities with original maturities longer than three months are available to fund current operations and are classified as marketable securities, within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined using the average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis and recorded in total other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The available-for-sale debt securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. For investments in an unrealized loss position, the Company writes down the amortized cost basis of the investment if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required or will intend to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For investments not likely to be sold before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the Company determines whether a credit loss exists by considering information about the collectability of the instrument, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses up to the amount of the unrealized loss when appropriate. Allowances for credit losses and write-downs are recognized in total other income (expense), net, and unrealized losses not related to credit losses are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). There are no allowances for credit losses recorded for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities were in an unrealized gain position.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less estimates for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by specifically identifying troubled accounts and by using historical write off experience, adjusted for current market conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, applied to an aging of all other accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. As of January 1, 2023, the Company had an accounts receivable balance of $ 136.5 million. Accounts receivable consist of the following:

Write-offs 2,618 218
Ending balance $ ( 2,617 ) $ ( 1,950 )
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts at financial institutions that, at times, may significantly exceed federally insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses related to such accounts. The Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were fully insured up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. Balances held at the institutions may significantly exceed federally insured limits.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, generally does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the customer from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk. The Company maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for product purchased, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of consolidated operations. Customers that accounted for 10% or greater of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
December 31,
2024 2023
Customer A 25 % 26 %
Customer B 16 % 12 %
Customer C 12 % 11 %
Customer D — % 17 %
* Accounts Receivable was less than 10%
As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue.
Supplier Concentration
The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its products, as well as third-party logistics providers. In instances where these parties fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time, if at all. Substantially all of the Company’s products are manufactured by outsourcing partners that are located primarily in Asia.
We rely on single source, or a small number of suppliers. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s top two vendors accounted for approximately 69 %, 59 %, and 61 % of total finished goods purchases, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories (current and non-current), which consist of finished goods and raw materials, are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Assessments to value the inventory at the lower of the average cost to purchase the inventory, or the net realizable value of the inventory, are based upon assumptions about future demand, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and market conditions. Inventories include indirect acquisition and production costs that are incurred to bring
90
Table of Contents
the inventories to their present condition and location. Inventories are recorded net of reserves for obsolescence. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory reserve represents the new cost basis of such products.
We also periodically assess the value of our on-hand inventory for potential excess and/or obsolete inventory and when necessary, will write-down the value to account for estimated excess and/or obsolete inventory. We determine excess or obsolete inventory based on market conditions, age of inventory, an estimate of the future demand for our products within a specified time horizon, generally the greater of 24 months or remaining life of the product, and product life cycle status. As a result of the Company’s assessments, when the net realizable value of inventory is less than the carrying value, the inventory cost is written down to the net realizable value and the write down is recorded as a charge to cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
As needed, we complete strategic and market beneficial purchases of critical raw materials that are used in our core production process (such as microchips) in quantities that exceed anticipated consumption within our normal operating cycle, which is 12 months. We classify such raw materials that we do not expect to consume within our normal operating cycle as non-current within other assets.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Manufacturing tools include tools and molds used in the production process. Expenditures for tools and molds are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We capitalize certain software development costs in the application development stage in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and upon the establishment of technological feasibility for a product in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
The Company uses the following estimated useful lives:
Computer software, software development costs and equipment 3 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7 years
Manufacturing tools and equipment 3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or remaining life of the asset
Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs
The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third-party vendors. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized until the software is ready for its intended use. The costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement and are recognized primarily as general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. To date, these costs primarily relate to new website hosting services. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $ 0.4 million, $ 1.0 million, and $ 0.7 million respectively, for these implementation costs. Gross capitalized costs were $ 3.7 million and $ 2.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with accumulated amortization of $ 2.2 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively. Capitalized costs are reported as a component of other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether it has the right to control the identified asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized
91
Table of Contents
at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.
As the implicit rate in the Company's leases is generally unknown, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjusts for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating its incremental borrowing rates. The Company evaluates renewal options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis, and includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its expected lease terms when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities. Lease costs for the Company's operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses and cost of revenue over the reasonably assured lease term.
The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for leases of office space and, as a result, accounts for any lease and non-lease components for office space as a single lease component, to the extent they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments. The Company’s office leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less.
Legal Contingencies
Liabilities for legal contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or states that such an estimate cannot be made. See Note 12.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred and paid to the lender or third parties for the revolver credit facility are recorded as other assets and amortized over the term of the revolver using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, on an annual basis or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and relies on a number of factors, including results of operations, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded no impairments relating to amortized intangible assets. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 0.5 million and $ 10.0 million, and $ 2.9 million , respectively, primarily related to computer software and software development costs, and manufacturing tools and equipment from products that the Company no longer plans to commercialize. These impairment charges were recorded primarily within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
Fair value is 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, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. Fair value is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability, the characteristics specific to the asset or liability and the state of the marketplace including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. The Company estimates fair value for the assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.
• Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the reporting date.
• Level II – Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves and market-corroborated inputs). Pricing inputs are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
• Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets and liabilities and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets and liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, based upon a comparison of the non-financial instrument’s fair value to its carrying value, an impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The inputs for fair value calculations of intangible assets and property and equipment, are based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations would be based on discounted cash flows that are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. The key variables that drive the discounted cash flow analysis are estimated revenue growth rates, levels of profitability, the terminal value growth rate assumptions and the weighted average cost of capital rate applied, among others.
Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information for these assets is readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Marketable securities which include U.S. Treasury securities are valued using observable inputs from similar assets, or from observable data in markets that are not active; these assets are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of profits are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net income per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Stock-based awards subject to conditions other than service conditions are considered contingently issuable shares and
93
Table of Contents
are included in basic EPS based on the number of awards that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the sale of connected machines, digital content subscriptions and accessories and materials. The Company markets and sells its products to customers, which include brick-and-mortar and online retail partners as well as users that purchase from the Company’s website at cricut.com, Design Space, and third-party supported applications.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
• Determination of the transaction price;
• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
• Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, volume rebates and customer rebates or discounts. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical return experience, historical and projected sales data and current contract terms.
Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the goods as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. All incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are expensed as incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less. The Company does not have any material contract cost assets.
The following describes the nature of the Company’s primary types of revenue and the revenue recognition policies and significant payment terms as they pertain to the types of transactions with its customers.
Platform
We generate Platform revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions to Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium, digital content, and a minimal amount of revenue allocated to the unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to our cloud-based services. For a monthly or annual subscription fee, Cricut Access includes a subscription to images, fonts and projects as well as other member benefits, including exclusive software features and functionality, discounts, and priority Cricut Member Care. For our annual subscription fee, Cricut Access Premium includes all the benefits of Cricut Access as well as additional discounts and preferred shipping. Digital content includes à la carte digital content purchases, including fonts, images and projects. Platform revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over time, during the subscription term for subscriptions, and at the point in time when control is transferred for à la carte digital content.
The paid subscription services are offered on a month-to-month or annual basis. Payments for subscription services are due month-to-month or annually in advance. Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium are generally sold in standalone contracts and reallocations are not required other than allocations to customer options that were determined to be material rights related to incremental discounts on purchases of physical products that paid subscribers receive. The transaction price is allocated between the subscription and material right based on the relative standalone selling prices of the subscription and material right. Revenue related to the material right is recognized as accessories and materials revenue upon redemption or expiration of the material right. Revenue related to subscriptions is recognized ratably over the length of the subscription using a time-based output measure as the customer consumes the benefit of the service each day.
94
Table of Contents
Products
We generate Products revenue from sales of connected machines and ancillary products, net of sales discounts, incentives and returns, and includes amounts allocated to the material right for discounts on materials and accessories available only to Paid Subscribers. Our connected machines portfolio consists of machines in four product families: Cricut Maker, which includes Maker and Maker 3; Cricut Explore, which includes Explore Air 2 and Explore 3; Cricut Joy, which includes Joy and Joy Xtra; and Cricut Venture. Our ancillary products include Cricut EasyPress, Cricut MugPress, hand tools, machine replacement tools and blades, and project materials such as vinyl and iron-on. Payment by traditional brick-and-mortar retail partners, including their online channels, is due under customary fixed payment terms. Payment for sale of products online through the online channel at cricut.com is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. The Company’s contracts with customers for a connected machine contain multiple promises that include hardware, software, unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services. Determining whether the hardware, software, unspecified future upgrades, enhancements and cloud-based services are considered distinct performance obligations requires significant judgment. The Company’s software used to design, cut and complete projects can be accessed offline or with the cloud-based services at no charge. When accessed with the cloud-based services, users are also able to sync projects across various devices. The connected machines are not able to function without the software, inclusive of firmware and the downloadable software. Together the hardware and software are inputs into providing the essential functionality of the connected machines and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized for the single performance obligation of hardware with essential software at a point-in-time when control is transferred, which is either upon shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer.
The promise to provide the customer with unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and the promise to provide access to the Company’s cloud-based services are both distinct performance obligations that provide incremental benefits to the connected machines and are recognized using a time-based output measure over the service period as the customer consumes the benefit of the service each day. The Company estimates the service period since it is not contractually stated. In developing the estimated period of providing future services, the Company considers past history, plans to continue to provide services, expected technological developments, obsolescence, competition and other factors. The estimated service period may change in the future in response to competition, technology developments and the Company’s business strategy.
Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation related to sales of connected machines and the allocation of the transaction price to each of those performance obligations. The Company estimates SSP for performance obligations that are not sold separately, which include the connected machines and related software, unspecified future upgrades and enhancements and cloud-based services using information that may include the range of prices for the bundle of products and services and the cost of providing the products or services plus a reasonable margin. In developing SSP estimates, the Company also considers the nature of the products and services and the expected level of future services. SSP of the hardware and essential software reflects the Company’s best estimate of the selling price if it was sold regularly on a standalone basis and comprises the majority of the contract value.
Accessories and materials generally consist of a single performance obligation and reallocations are not required. Revenue from accessories and materials is recognized at a point-in-time when control is transferred, either upon shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. Payment by traditional brick-and-mortar retail partners, including their online channels, is due under customary fixed payment terms. Payment for sale of accessories and materials through the online channel at cricut.com is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products.
Cost of Revenue
Platform
Cost of revenue related to Platform consists primarily of hosting fees, digital content costs, amortization of capitalized software development costs and software maintenance costs.
Products
Cost of revenue related to Products consists of product costs, including costs of components, cost of contract manufacturers for production, inspecting and packaging, shipping, receiving, handling, warehousing and fulfillment,
95
Table of Contents
duties and other applicable importing costs, warranty replacement, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, tooling and equipment depreciation and royalties.
Customer Rebates
The Company recognizes revenue at the net sales price, which at times includes certain contractual discounts or estimates for variable consideration related to customer rebates with our key brick-and-mortar and online retail partners. These promotional programs are designed to enhance the sale of the Company’s products and consist of incentives to the Company’s customers. The promotional programs include advertising and product damage allowances, volume/growth and business development incentives and point-of-sale support. The Company estimates certain customer rebates using either the expected value method or most likely amount, based upon the nature of the incentive. Sales are reduced by the cost of these promotional and rebate programs and the Company records a related customer rebate liability in its consolidated balance sheets at the date of the transaction. Certain customer rebate programs are estimates at period end due to the nature of the incentives or expected and yet-to-be announced incentive programs that apply to current period revenue transactions. These estimates are based on the Company’s incentive program experience, historical and projected sales data and current contractual terms. The remaining portion of this liability is based on contractual amounts and does not require estimation.
In limited cases where the customer rebate is specifically for co-operative marketing or advertising campaigns, the Company classifies these expenditures as selling and marketing expenses only if they meet the criteria of being a distinct good or service, are distinct within the context of the contract and the fair value is readily estimable.
Sales Refund Liability
The Company provides its customers a limited right of return with the sale of its products. The Company estimates sales returns and records reserves at the time the related sales are recorded based on historical data and current economic trends. Actual sales returns could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued sales returns by updating the return rates for actual trends and projected costs. The Company classifies the estimated sales returns as a current liability as they are expected to be paid out in less than one year using the expected-value method. The estimated sales returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale and recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. At the same time this is recorded, a right of recovery asset is also recorded within inventory.
Changes in the reserve for sales refunds were as follows:
December 31,
2024 2023
(in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period $ 3,267 $ 7,273
Additions that reduced net revenue 9,202 9,757
Deductions from reserves for current year returns ( 9,660 ) ( 13,763 )
Balance at end of period $ 2,809 $ 3,267
Warranty Reserves
The Company provides an assurance-type limited warranty on most of the products sold. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

Repairs and replacement costs incurred ( 3,030 ) ( 4,835 )
Balance at end of period $ 1,641 $ 1,812
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability that its deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided by a charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized.
Under literature related to uncertain tax provisions, the Company reviews its filing positions for all open tax years in all U.S. federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file. The Company recognizes a liability for each uncertain tax position at the amount estimated to be required to settle the issues.
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, interest or penalties related to income tax matters included in the provision for income taxes have not been material.
Sales Taxes
The Company is required by certain governmental authorities to collect sales taxes on certain transactions. The Company currently collects and reports on sales tax in all states in which it does business. However, the application of existing, new or revised taxes on our business, in particular, sales taxes, VAT and similar taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the Internet. The application of these taxes on our business could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. There have been, and will continue to be, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which we conduct or will conduct business. The Company conducts ongoing analysis on state sales tax nexus regulations to determine where collection is necessary. The Company accounts for sales taxes as part of accrued expenses and excludes them from revenue.
Stock-Based and Stock-Equivalent Compensation
The Company records compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award at the time of the grant. Stock-based compensation costs are recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, on a straight-line basis for awards with only a service condition. The graded vesting method is used for awards that have service and other conditions. For awards subject to performance vesting conditions, expense is recognized for the awards if it is probable the performance conditions will be met. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The Company estimated the fair value of stock option awards with time-based or performance-based vesting provisions using the Black-Scholes method. For restricted stock units, the fair value is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The determination of the grant date fair value of the awards issued is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of the underlying shares or units, the expected price volatility over the expected life of the awards, the expected term of the award, risk-free interest rates, the expected dividend yield of the underlying shares or units and the likelihood of termination. No stock option awards were granted during the years ended 2024 or 2023.
97
Table of Contents
Dividends
We have not adopted a dividend policy. Any determination to pay dividends on our common stock is at the discretion of our board of directors subject to applicable laws, and depends upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and capital requirements. Our ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock are limited by the terms of our Credit Agreement.
On the payment date, a portion of the dividend is settled in cash, and pursuant to the underlying award agreements, holders of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units receive a dividend equivalent per unit in the form of additional restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. In addition, there is a delayed cash payment to the holders of the unvested shares of common stock.
Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expenses
Shipping and handling revenue for orders placed by customers is recognized at the time of the sale. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company related to these sales are considered fulfillment costs and reported as costs of revenue at the time of the sale.
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs advertising costs associated with print, digital and other related broadcast advertisements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 46.8 million, $ 32.2 million, and $ 34.2 million respectively. Advertising costs include expenditures for shared advertising costs that the Company incurs under its co-operative advertising programs to the extent the fair value of the distinct good or service can reasonably be estimated.
Research and Development (“R&D”)
R&D expense consists of costs associated primarily with engineering, product development, quality assurance, service fees incurred by contracting with vendors and allocated overhead costs. R&D costs are expensed as incurred.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The amendments require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, we do anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This ASU establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. They must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. Public business entities must apply the ASU’s guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (2025 for calendar-year-end Public business entities). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024, see Note 18 for further detail.
3. Revenue and Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue relates to performance obligations for which payments have been received from the customer prior to revenue recognition. Deferred revenue primarily consists of deferred subscription-based services. Deferred revenue also includes amounts allocated from the sale of a connected machine to the unspecified
98
Table of Contents
upgrades and enhancements and the Company’s cloud-based services. Contract costs consist of amounts paid to obtain contracts with customers in connection with sales of subscriptions through third-party apps. Contract costs are amortized over the subscription term. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company capitalized $ 2.7 million of contract costs, and as of December 31, 2024 the unamortized balance was $ 1.2 million, included in prepaid and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company capitalized $ 1.7 million of contract costs, and as of December 31, 2023 the unamortized balance was $ 0.9 million, included in prepaid and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recognized no contract assets for any of the periods presented.
The following table summarizes the changes in the deferred revenue balance for the periods indicated:

8. Revolving Credit Facility
2022 Credit Agreement
On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, Citigroup N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., KeyBank, N.A., and other parties. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior asset-based Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citigroup N.A., and Origin Bank. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of up to $ 300.0 million, maturing on August 4, 2027. In addition, during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Company may increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $ 150.0 million, (for maximum aggregate lender commitments of up to $ 450.0 million), subject to customary conditions under the Credit Agreement, including obtaining a consent from participating lenders (or another lender, if applicable) to such increase. The Credit Facility may be used to issue letters of credit and for other business purposes, including working capital needs. The current unused fee rate is 0.175 % on per annum basis.
The Company accounted for the Credit Agreement as a modification of the 2020 Credit Agreement in accordance with ASC 470-50 Modification and Extinguishments . In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred and capitalized $ 1.3 million of debt issuance costs in addition to $ 0.3 million of existing unamortized debt issuance costs with the 2020 Credit Agreement which remained deferred, resulting a total deferral of debt issuance costs of $ 1.6 million as of the date of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total unamortized debt issuance costs were $ 0.8 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, and were included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and contains affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other terms customary for loans of this nature. In particular, the Credit Agreement will not permit the leverage ratio to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, measured on the last day of any fiscal quarter. In addition, the Credit Agreement will not permit the interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.0 to 1.0, for any period of four consecutive quarters, measured on the last day of any fiscal quarter. Management has determined that the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial debt covenants as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding under the Credit Agreement and available borrowings were $ 300.0 million
Generally, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on an alternative base rate (“ABR”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from (a) borrowings bearing interest at the ABR 2.00 %, and (b) borrowings bearing interest at the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the Adjusted Australian Dollar Rate, the Adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or the Adjusted New Zealand Dollar Rate, as applicable for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus the applicable rate.

Differences between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate relate primarily to state income taxes, stock-based compensation, tax credits and changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the period. Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amount used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:

There are immaterial foreign net operating loss carryforwards set to expire in 2026. The Company establishes valuation allowances if it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the net operating loss deferred tax asset and other net deferred tax assets recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded incremental income taxes for outside basis differences in our investments in foreign subsidiaries, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. The undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that meet the indefinite reversal criteria amounted to $ 3.3 million.
As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, $ 6.4 million, $ 7.1 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The total balance of unrecognized gross tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, resulted primarily from research and development credits, foreign derived intangible income differences, inventory basis differences and the release of reserves due to the expiration of statutes of limitation. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
(in thousands)
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 7,148 $ 3,988 $ 2,379

Reductions due to tax authorities’ settlements ( 98 ) — —
Reductions due to expirations of statutes of limitation ( 1,754 ) ( 368 ) ( 247 )
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 6,376 $ 7,148 $ 3,988
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, interest or penalties related to income tax matters included in the provision for income taxes have not been material.
In January 2021, the IRS completed its examination of the Company’s 2017 tax year. No material adjustments resulted from this examination. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination for tax years 2018 and forward.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2021, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. Outstanding restricted stock units and performance units are entitled to dividend equivalents in the form of additional unvested restricted stock units or unvested performance units equal in value to the amount of any

declared dividend based on the closing price of the Company’s class A stock on the dividend payment date. Dividend equivalents are forfeited if the underlying award does not vest. As of December 31, 2024, 50,565,554 shares of Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan including shares reserved for previously granted awards discussed below as well as shares reserved for issuance of future awards under the plan.

The total fair value of RSUs vested as of the vesting dates during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was $ 19.0 million, $ 17.1 million, and $ 13.0 million, respectively.
The Company has granted PRSUs under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to certain employees of the Company that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. In July 2024, the Company granted PRSUs by which the first tranche of 30% and the second tranche of 70% will vest upon the Company achieving certain adjusted operating income targets during any four consecutive quarters of the respective performance periods, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. The performance periods for the first and second tranches is 4 and 5 years, respectively. At grant date, adjusted operating income was defined as GAAP operating income and was subsequently amended to be GAAP operating income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and payroll expense specifically related to these PRSU awards. This change resulted in a modification whereby additional stock-based compensation of approximately $5.9 million could be recorded if the Company determines it is probable the performance targets will be achieved.
In 2022, the Company granted PRSUs that vest in two equal tranches subject to the Company achieving certain cumulative adjusted earnings per share over eight quarters at any point during the 5-year performance period, subject to employees remaining with the Company through the vesting date. Adjusted earnings per share means GAAP net income adjusted to exclude income tax expenses, as well as stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax expense specifically related to these PRSU awards.

The expense recognized each period for these PRSUs is primarily dependent upon the Company’s estimate of the probability of achieving the performance targets during the performance period. At December 31, 2024, the Company determined it was not probable any performance conditions would be achieved, so no stock-based compensation has been recorded for these PRSUs during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Options under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of an incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option shall not be less than 100 % of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation

Management is not aware of any contingencies which it believes will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Self-Insurance Liabilities
Starting in 2022, the Company began to self-insure for certain employee medical benefits. The recorded liabilities for self-insured risks are calculated using actuarial methods and are not discounted. The liabilities include amounts for actual claims and claims incurred but not reported. Actual experience, including claim frequency and severity as well as health care inflation, could result in actual liabilities being more or less than the amounts currently recorded. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 we have accrued $ 0.5 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, for employee medical claims. Such amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
13. Leases
The Company leases office space with original lease terms ranging from 1 to 6 years. These leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. Certain of these leases also include renewal options at the election of the Company to renew or extend the lease.
In December 2024, the Company amended its operating lease for its corporate headquarters in South Jordan, Utah to extend the term through March 2029 and to reduce the annual rent rate for future periods. As a result of this amendment, the Company remeasured the associated operating lease liability and right-of-use asset for this lease. The Company also leased additional space at its corporate headquarters which commenced in January of 2022 under the same terms as its existing lease.

18. Segment Information
In January 2024, the Company reevaluated its operating segments in order to better align with how the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) evaluate performance and allocate resources. The CODM consists of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The key factor evaluated by the Company resulted from the growth and expansion of Design Space, the Company’s digital platform. Since its initial public offering, the Company’s digital platform has evolved and grown considerably. Key enhancements to the platform include the size of its images, fonts, and projects library, the introduction of advanced design tools, the software support for several new cutting machines, and the creation of enhanced subscriptions offerings. The change in operating segments reflects the Company’s strategy to focus on continuing to expand revenue and margin generated from its digital platform and Paid Subscribers. At the same time, a number of product related factors also contributed to this decision, including the relative importance of physical products to the platform, including bundles (comprised of several combinations of machines, accessories, and materials), and changes in our Accessories and Materials business. Based on these changes, the Company has determined that it was appropriate to reduce its reportable segments from three to two, combining its Subscriptions and digital content businesses into one Platform segment, and its Connected Machines and Accessories and Materials businesses into one Product segment. Prior period segment results have been retrospectively recast to reflect the new reportable segments.
The key operating decisions made by the CODM include assessing segment performance and resource allocation. The CODM primarily focuses on revenue and gross profit of the Platform and Product segments, as well
111

as consolidated operating results and capital expenditures. The CODM uses this information to make budgeting and forecasting decisions, including hiring and compensation of certain employees, and allocating financial or capital resources.
The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis. As of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, long-lived assets located outside the United States, primarily located in Malaysia and China, were $ 5.1 million and $ 8.7 million.
The Platform segment derives revenue primarily from monthly and annual subscription fees, purchases of digital content, and a minimal amount of the revenue allocated to unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, upfront digital content revenue comprised approximately 1 % of Platform revenue. The remaining Platform revenue consists of ratably recognized subscription revenue and revenue related to unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services, which are recognized over the determined service period.
The Products segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of its connected machine hardware, and sale of craft, DIY, home décor products and extensions. There are no internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments.
Key financial performance measures of the segments including revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit are as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
(in thousands)
Platform:
Revenue $ 312,976 $ 309,012 $ 278,646
