TELADOC HEALTH, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as “Teladoc Health,” or the “Company,” and is the global leader in whole person virtual care, forging a new healthcare experience with better convenience, outcomes, and value. The Company’s mission is to empower all people everywhere to live their healthiest lives by transforming the healthcare experience.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas in June 2002 and changed its state of incorporation to the State of Delaware in October 2008. Effective August 10, 2018, Teladoc, Inc. changed its corporate name to Teladoc Health, Inc. The Company’s principal executive office is located in Purchase, New York.
On October 30, 2020, the Company completed the merger with Livongo Health, Inc. (“Livongo”), a transformational opportunity to improve the delivery, access and experience of chronic healthcare for individuals around the world.
On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of InTouch Technologies, Inc. (“InTouch”), a leading provider of enterprise telehealth solutions for hospitals and health systems.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Teladoc Health for the periods presented. However, the financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) have been omitted or condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), which includes a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company’s significant accounting policies.
These financial statements include the results of Teladoc Health, as well as three professional associations and twelve professional corporations (collectively, the “THMG Association”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Teladoc Health Medical Group, P.A., formerly Teladoc Physicians, P.A. (“THMG”), is party to a Services Agreement by and among it and the professional associations and professional corporations pursuant to which each professional association and professional corporation provides services to THMG. Each professional association and professional corporation is established pursuant to the requirements of its respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine.
The Company holds a variable interest in the THMG Association, which contracts with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide services to the Company. The THMG Association is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) since it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. An enterprise having a controlling financial interest in a VIE must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits—that is, it has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company has the power and rights to control all activities of the THMG Association and funds and absorbs all losses of the VIE and appropriately consolidates the THMG Association.
6
Total revenue and net income (loss) for the VIE were $57.5 million and ($1.1) million, and $58.8 million and $1.0 million, for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total revenue and net income (loss) for the VIE were $176.9 million and ($3.9) million, and $169.6 million and ($0.2) million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The VIE’s total assets, all of which were current, were $51.0 million and $58.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The VIE’s total liabilities, all of which were current, were $91.0 million and $94.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The VIE’s total stockholders’ deficit was $40.0 million and $36.1 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price is attributed to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
When the Company issues stock-based or cash awards to an acquired company’s stockholders, the Company evaluates whether the awards are consideration or compensation for post-acquisition services. The evaluation includes, among other things, whether the vesting of the awards is contingent on the continued employment of the acquired company’s stockholders beyond the acquisition date. If continued employment is required for vesting, the awards are treated as compensation for post-acquisition services and recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions, and competition. In connection with determination of fair values, the Company may engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain obligations assumed. Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by the Company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as an operating expense in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business and economic factors, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment evolves. The Company believes that estimates used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect areas including the carrying value and useful life of long-lived assets (including intangible assets), the carrying value of goodwill, the capitalization and amortization of software development costs, deferred device and contract costs, sales and bad debt allowances, and the accounting for business combinations. Other significant areas include revenue recognition (including performance guarantees), the

accounting for income taxes, contingences, litigation and related legal accruals, the accounting for stock-based compensation awards, and other items as described in the Summary of Significant Accounting policies in this Quarterly Report and in the 2021 Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the financial accounting standards board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the conversion option separation model for convertible debt that can be settled in cash and by eliminating the measurement model for beneficial conversion features. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with conversion options that are required to be accounted for as bifurcated derivatives and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. This ASU also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards.
The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, under the modified retrospective transition method, and, accordingly, its prior period financial statements were not restated. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the conversion feature of the Company’s convertible senior notes is no longer reported as a component of equity. Instead, the previously-separated equity component is now combined with the liability component, thereby eliminating the amortization of the debt discount arising from the conversion option separation model. As such, the Company currently anticipates a reduction of approximately $58 million in non-cash interest to be recorded on its convertible senior notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. To reflect the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded an increase to convertible senior notes of $306.3 million and decreases to additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and net deferred tax liabilities of $363.7 million, $72.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” to clarify that an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction does not take that restriction into consideration when measuring its fair value and to require specific disclosures related to such an equity security. ASU 2022-03 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of ASU 2022-03 are to be applied prospectively with any adjustments made to earnings on the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) – Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” to provide guidance on disclosure requirements for supplier finance programs and improve information transparency by requiring the disclosure of key terms of the program, amounts outstanding that remain unpaid, a description of where those amounts are presented in the balance sheet, and a rollforward of any outstanding obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating what the impact of adopting ASU 2022-04 may have on its financial statements.
Note 3. Revenue, Deferred Revenue, and Deferred Device and Contract Costs
The Company generates access fees from customers, consisting of employers, health plans, hospitals and health systems, insurance companies, and financial services companies (collectively “Clients”), as well as individual members, accessing its professional provider network, hosted virtual healthcare platform, and chronic care management platforms. Visit fee revenue is generated for general medical, expert medical service, and other specialty visits. In addition, other revenue is primarily associated with virtual healthcare device equipment included with its hosted virtual healthcare platform. Access revenue accounted for 88% and 86% of the Company’s revenue for the quarters ended September 30,
8
2022 and 2021, respectively. Access revenue accounted for 88% and 85% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company refined its definition of international revenues to reflect all international revenues based on location of the customer. Previously, Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) activities were primarily reflected based on the location of operations. In addition, certain activities related to the Company’s international operations are now reflected in visit revenues versus access fee revenues. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform with current presentation.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents billed, but unrecognized revenue, and is comprised of fees received in advance of the delivery or completion of the services and amounts received in instances when revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Deferred revenue associated with upfront payments for a device is amortized ratably over the expected member enrollment period. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent deferred revenue.
For certain services, payment is required for future months before the service is delivered to the member. The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance obligation to provide services. Deferred revenue, current plus long-term, was $93.4 million at September 30, 2022 and $76.9 million at September 30, 2021. The net increase of $14.0 million and $21.8 million in the deferred revenue balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was primarily driven by BetterHelp, the Company’s DTC mental health product, InTouch, and Livongo, and cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, offset by revenue recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. The Company anticipates that it will satisfy most of its performance obligation associated with the deferred revenue within the prospective fiscal year. Revenue recognized during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the periods was $59.5 million and $47.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the periods was $68.2 million and $48.5 million, respectively.
The Company expects to recognize $64.5 million and $23.8 million of revenue in the remainder of
and , respectively, related to future performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2022.9

Amortization expense for intangible assets net of foreign currency remeasurement for intangible assets was $58.2 million and $49.6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets net of foreign currency remeasurement for intangible assets was $171.5 million and $145.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In January 2022, the Company embarked upon a two-year migration strategy that integrates and moves selected consumer brands under Teladoc Health, which will serve as the primary business-to-business-to-consumer brand that meets all consumer healthcare needs. The evolution of brand names resulted in the weighted average life of the trademarks decreasing from 9.5 years to 7.5 years as of January 1, 2022, and an acceleration of amortization expense being expensed over 2022 and 2023. This change resulted in additional amortization expense of $5.8 million (or $0.04 per basic and diluted share) and $17.4 million (or $0.11 per basic and diluted share) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
Refer to Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the results of impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets, including goodwill.

The Company has experienced a pair of triggering events in 2022 due to sustained decreases in the Company’s share price, prompting impairment assessments of goodwill and long-lived assets including definite-lived intangibles, first as of March 31, 2022, and again as of June 30, 2022.
Both impairment assessments in 2022 reflected a 75%/25% allocation between the income and market approaches. The Company believes the 75% weighting to the income approach continues to be appropriate as it more directly reflects the Company’s future growth and profitability expectations. The table below indicates changes in the most significant inputs to the Company’s impairment analysis on each testing date since its last annual test.
In March 2022, the Company updated the forecasted future cash flows used in the impairment assessment, including revenues, margin, and capital expenditures to reflect current conditions. Other changes in valuation assumptions included increases in interest rates and market volatility, resulting in a higher discount rate, and selection of lower revenue multiples based upon an assessment of a relevant peer group. As a result of this review, the Company did not identify an impairment to its definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, but the Company recorded a $6.6 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $41.11 per basic and diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The non-cash charges had no impact on the provision for income taxes.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company updated valuation assumptions. The discount rate was increased for a company risk premium to reflect the current perception of risks of achieving projected cash flows and, to a lesser extent, to reflect further increases in interest rates and market volatility. Additionally, revenue market multiples were lowered based upon an updated analysis of a consistent peer group. The assessment did not result in an impairment of definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, but resulted in an additional $3.0 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $18.78 per basic and diluted share). For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a $9.6 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $59.73 per basic and diluted share) was recognized. The non-cash charges had no impact on the provision for income taxes.
In the event there are further adverse changes in the Company’s projected cash flows and/or further changes in key assumptions, including but not limited to an increase in the discount rate, lower market multiples, lower revenue growth, lower margin, and/or a lower terminal growth rate, the Company may be required to record additional non-cash impairment charges to its goodwill, other intangibles, and/or long-lived assets. Such non-cash charges could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and balance sheet in the reporting period of the charge. Following the June 2022 impairment, there is no excess of reporting unit fair value over the carrying amount, so any further decrease in estimated fair value would result in an additional impairment charge. The assessment is most sensitive to broader market conditions, including the discount rate and market multiples, and to the Company’s estimated future cash flows.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of the Company’s cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires it to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company measures its cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company classifies its cash equivalents within Level 1 because they are valued using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and quoted prices directly in active markets.
The Company’s short-term investments held as of December 31, 2021 consisted primarily of a certificate of deposit held at a financial institution. The amortized cost of these investments, which are classified as Level 2, approximated their fair value.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories (in thousands):

Note 10. Leases
The Company has operating leases for facilities, hosting co-location facilities, and certain equipment under non-cancelable leases in the U.S. and various international locations. The leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 10 years, with options to extend the lease term from
to 6 years. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the terms covering the right to use property, plant or equipment for a stated period of time. For new and amended leases beginning in 2020 and after, the Company separately allocates the lease (e.g., fixed lease payments for right-to-use land, building, etc.) and non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) for its leases.Operating Leases

to 5 years.The Company recorded lease abandonment and exit costs of $3.7 million for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which primarily consisted of lease impairments and related charges due to the abandonment and/or exit of excess leased office space. However, the lease liabilities related to these spaces remain an outstanding obligation of the Company as of September 30, 2022.
Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes
Outstanding Convertible Senior Notes
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had three series of convertible senior notes outstanding. The issuances of such notes originally consisted of (i) $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), issued on May 19, 2020 for net proceeds to the Company of $975.9 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $24.1 million, (ii) $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), issued on May 8, 2018 for net proceeds to the Company of $279.1 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $8.4 million, and (iii) $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.875% convertible senior notes due 2025 that were issued by Livongo on June 4, 2020 for which the Company has agreed to guarantee Livongo’s obligations (the “Livongo Notes;” and together with the 2027 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2022 Notes (as defined below), the “Notes”). On June 27, 2017, the Company issued, at par value, $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), which were redeemed during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as described below.
14
The following table presents certain terms of the Notes that were outstanding as of September 30, 2022:
(1) | The Notes are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 9. |
All of the Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries.
Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date only under the following circumstances:
● | during any quarter (and only during such quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares of Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the applicable Notes on each applicable trading day; |
● | during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (or five consecutive trading day period in the case of the Livongo Notes) in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the applicable Notes on each such trading day; |
● | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the applicable indenture; or |
● | if the Company calls the applicable Notes for redemption, at any time until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. |
On or after the applicable conversion date, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of such Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The 2027 Notes and the 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the applicable conversion rate shown in the table above. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the amount of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 25 consecutive trading day observation period.
The Livongo Notes are convertible at the applicable conversion rate shown in the table above into “units of reference property,” each of which is comprised of 0.5920 of a share of the Company’s common stock and $4.24 in cash, without interest. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, units of reference
15
property, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and units of reference property, the amount of cash and units of reference property, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 40 consecutive trading day observation period.
For each Note series, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at its option, on or after the applicable optional redemption date shown in the table above (and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date in the case of the Livongo Notes) if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, calling any 2027 Note or 2025 Note for redemption on or after the applicable optional redemption date will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note, if it is converted in connection with the redemption, will be increased in certain circumstances as described in the applicable indenture. If Livongo undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture) at any time prior to the maturity date, holders will have the right, at their option, to require Livongo to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Livongo Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Livongo Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 as described in Note 2, the Company accounts for each Note series at amortized cost within the liability section of its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has reserved an aggregate of 8.7 million shares of common stock for the Notes.
The net carrying values of the Notes consisted of the following (in thousands):

Exchanges and Conversions of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025
In June 2021, the Company entered into privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of the 2025 Notes to exchange approximately $206.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes for an aggregate of approximately 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock in private placement transactions pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). In addition, certain holders of the 2025 Notes converted their 2025 Notes in exchange for 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 13. Legal Matters
From time to time, Teladoc Health is involved in various litigation matters arising in the normal course of business, including the matters described below. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters. Estimating the probable losses or a range of probable losses resulting from litigation, government actions, and other legal proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, may involve discretionary amounts, present novel legal theories, are in the early stages of the proceedings, or are subject to appeal. Whether any losses, damages, or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. As of the date of these financial statements, Teladoc Health’s management does not expect any litigation matter to have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On May 14, 2018, a purported class action complaint (Thomas v. Best Doctors, Inc.) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Best Doctors, Inc. The complaint alleges that on or about May 16, 2017, Best Doctors violated the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”) by sending unsolicited facsimiles to plaintiff and certain other recipients without the recipients’ prior express invitation or permission. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages for each violation, subject to trebling under the TCPA, and injunctive relief. On May 27, 2022, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the terms of a tentative settlement reached by the parties and conditionally certified the settlement class. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit and any potential loss is currently deemed to be immaterial.
On August 27, 2021, a purported securities class action complaint (City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.) was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaint was brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of Teladoc Health common stock issued in the Livongo merger. The complaint asserted violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act based on allegedly false or misleading statements and omissions with respect to the registration statement and prospectus filed in connection with the Livongo merger. The complaint sought certification as a class action, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees, rescission or a rescissory measure of damages and equitable or other relief. On January 18, 2022, the case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and on January 26, 2022, was refiled in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The refiled case includes substantially the same allegations. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and the Company and its named current and former officers and directors intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, including through the filing of a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 8, 2022.
On June 6, 2022, a purported securities class action complaint (Schneider v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et. al.) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers. The complaint was brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during the period October 28, 2021 through April 27, 2022. The complaint asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder based on allegedly false or misleading statements and omissions with respect to, among other things, the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. On August 2, 2022, a duplicative purported securities class action complaint (De Schutter v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.) was filed in the United States
18
District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The claims and parties in De Schutter were substantially similar to those in Schneider. The De Schutter case was transferred on consent to the Southern District court, and the Schneider and De Schutter actions have now been consolidated under the caption In re Teladoc Health, Inc. Securities Litigation. On August 23, 2022, the court appointed Leadersel Innotech ESG as lead plaintiff pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 30, 2022, on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during the period February 24, 2021 to July 27, 2022. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and the Company and its named officers intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
On August 9, 2022, a verified shareholder derivative complaint (Vaughn v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company as a nominal defendant and certain of the Company’s officers and directors. The complaint asserts violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets in connection with factual assertions similar to those in the purported securities class action complaints described above. The complaint seeks damages to the Company allegedly sustained as a result of the acts and omissions of the named officers and directors and seeks an order directing the Company to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance. On September 6, 2022, a duplicative verified stockholder derivative complaint (Hendry v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et. al) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The claims and parties in Hendry were substantially similar to those in Vaughn.
Note 14. Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Plans
The Company’s 2015 Incentive Award Plan, 2017 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan and Livongo Acquisition Incentive Award Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) provide for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory options and other equity-based awards to its employees and non-employee service providers. The Company had 15,095,263 shares available for grant at September 30, 2022.
All stock-based awards to employees are measured based on the grant-date fair value, or replacement grant date fair value in relation to the Livongo transaction, and are generally recognized on a straight line basis in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally requiring a four-year vesting period for each stock option and a three-year vesting period for each restricted stock unit (“RSU”)).
Stock Options
Options issued under the Plans are exercisable for periods not to exceed 10 years, and vest and contain such other terms and conditions as specified in the applicable award document. Options to buy common stock are issued under the Plans, with exercise prices equal to the closing price of shares of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of award.
Stock option activity under the Plans was as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts and years):
19
The total grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $0.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $24.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are determined as follows:
Volatility. The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of the Company’s stock volatility over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. When establishing the expected term assumption, the Company utilizes historical data.
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with terms similar to the expected term on the options.
Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, it used an expected dividend yield of zero.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and fair value per share:
For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $2.4 million and $23.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $18.0 million and $77.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $25.1 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.
Restricted Stock Units
The fair value of RSUs is determined on the date of grant.
RSU activity under the Plans was as follows:
Weighted-Average | |||||
Grant Date | |||||
| RSUs |
| Fair Value Per RSU | ||
Balance at December 31, 2021 | 2,133,501 | $ | 168.43 | ||

Non-vested at September 30, 2022 | 6,118,483 | $ | 70.77 |
The total grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $18.8 million and $23.1 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $293.5 million and $125.0 million, respectively.
20
For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $53.7 million and $42.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $147.8 million and $142.6 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $351.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years.
Performance Stock Units
Stock-based compensation costs associated with the Company’s performance stock units (“PSUs”) are initially determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the awards are granted (service inception date). The vesting of these PSUs is subject to certain performance conditions and a service requirement ranging from The ultimate number of PSUs that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and generally range from 25% to 200% of the initial grant. Stock compensation expense for PSUs is recognized on an accelerated tranche by tranche basis for performance-based awards. Forfeitures are accounted for at the time they occur consistent with Company policy.
to 3 years. Stock-based compensation costs associated with these PSUs are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met.PSU activity under the Plans was as follows:
The total grant-date fair value of PSUs granted during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $35.0 million and $70.4 million, respectively.
For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs of $3.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs of $12.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $8.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in connection with its initial public offering. A total of 1,019,726 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan as of September 30, 2022. The Company’s ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during defined offering periods. Under the ESPP, the Company may specify offerings with durations of not more than 27 months and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. Each offering will have one or more purchase dates on which shares of its common stock will be purchased for employees participating in the offering. An offering may be terminated under certain circumstances. The price at which the stock is purchased is equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of an offering period or on the date of purchase.
21
During the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under the ESPP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 148,609 shares and 82,088 shares, respectively, under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2022, 422,022 shares remained available for issuance.
For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $2.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $0.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.1 year.
Total compensation costs for stock-based awards were recorded as follows (in thousands):
(1) | Excludes the amount capitalized related to internal software development projects. |
Note 15. Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes were benefits of $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
The Company recorded income tax expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $3.6 million and $93.9 million, respectively. The prior year included $87.0 million, recognized in the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily related to the additional valuation allowance recorded on excess stock compensation associated with the Livongo merger.

Overview
Teladoc, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in June 2002 and changed its state of incorporation to the State of Delaware in October 2008. Effective August 10, 2018, Teladoc, Inc. changed its corporate name to Teladoc Health, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as “Teladoc Health,” the “Company,” or “we.” The Company’s principal executive office is located in Purchase, New York. Teladoc Health is the global leader in whole person virtual care focused on forging a new healthcare experience with better convenience, outcomes, and value around the world.
Teladoc Health was founded on a simple, yet revolutionary idea: that everyone should have access to the best healthcare, anywhere in the world on their terms. Today, we have a vision of making virtual care the first step on any healthcare journey, and we are delivering on this mission by providing whole person virtual care that includes primary care, mental health, chronic condition management, and more.
COVID-19 Update
We believe that favorable existing secular trends in the healthcare industry were accelerated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving greater consumer use of virtual care, and increased adoption by employers, health plans, hospitals and health systems, and healthcare providers. In combination with the expansion of our capabilities, we believe that these trends present significant opportunities for virtual healthcare to address the most pressing, universal healthcare challenges through trusted solutions, such as ours, that deliver convenient, affordable, and high-quality care; empower individuals to manage and improve their health; and enable providers to offer their best care for their patients.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. COVID-19 has increased utilization of our telehealth services, but it is uncertain whether such increase in demand will continue. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations to date, the future impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, impact on our customers, consisting of employers, health plans,
23
hospitals and health systems, insurance companies, and financial services companies (collectively “Clients”), and members, impact on our sales cycles, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and disruptions to our operations and the operations of our third-party suppliers, along with any global slowdown in economic activity, may result in decreased revenues, decreased collections, and increased costs. Further, the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic conditions have financially constrained some of our prospective and existing Clients’ healthcare spending, which may negatively impact our ability to acquire new Clients and our ability to renew subscriptions with or sell additional solutions to our existing Clients. We also may experience increased member attrition to the extent our existing Clients reduce their respective workforces in response to economic conditions. In addition, due to our subscription-based business model, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic or economic effects may not be fully reflected in our revenue until future periods. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic, the measures taken by the governments and businesses affected and any resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial positions as well as our customers.
We have also taken measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local, or foreign authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, Clients, members, and stockholders. The effects of these operational modifications are unknown and may not be realized until further reporting periods.
Acquisition History
We have scaled and intend to continue to scale our platform through the pursuit of selective acquisitions. We have completed multiple acquisitions since our inception, which we believe have expanded our distribution capabilities and broadened our service offerings.
On October 30, 2020, we completed the merger with Livongo. The total final consideration was $13,876.9 million, consisting of $380.2 million of net cash, $555.4 million related to the conversion feature of the Livongo Notes guaranteed by us and 60.2 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $12,941.3 million on October 30, 2020. Livongo is a leading provider to empower people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives.
On July 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of InTouch for aggregate consideration of $1,069.8 million, which was comprised of 4.6 million shares of our common stock valued at $903.3 million on July 1, 2020, and $166.5 million of net cash. InTouch is a leading provider of enterprise telehealth solutions for hospitals and health systems.
Net Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $73.5 million, or $0.45 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $9,849.5 million, or $61.09 per share. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9,630.0 million. Refer to Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies: Goodwill Impairment Charge and Note 7, Goodwill, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss of $84.3 million and $417.8 million, respectively.
Refer to the condensed consolidated results of operations in the MD&A for other supplemental financial measures we use to assess our operating performance.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:
Number of Members and Revenue per Member. Our revenue growth rate and long-term profitability are affected by our ability to increase cross selling capability among our existing members because we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from access and other fees via Client contracts that provide members access to our professional provider network in exchange for a contractual based periodic fee or access fees derived from our Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) members. Therefore, we believe that our ability to add new members, retain existing members, and increase the
24
revenue generated from each member is a key indicator of our increasing market adoption, the growth of our business, and future revenue potential, and that increasing our membership and revenue per member is an integral objective that will provide us with the ability to continually innovate our services and support initiatives that will enhance members’ experiences. U.S. paid membership increased by 5.3 million to 57.8 million at September 30, 2022, compared to September 30, 2021. Average U.S. revenue per member measures the average amount of access revenue that we generate from a U.S. paid member for a particular period. It is calculated by dividing the U.S. access revenue generated from our U.S. paid members, excluding certain non-member based access fees, by the total average number of U.S. paid members during the applicable period. For the third quarter of 2022, average U.S. revenue per member was $2.61 compared to $2.40 for the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, average U.S. revenue per member was $2.58 compared to $2.27 for the same period in 2021.
Number of Visits and Utilization. We also recognize revenue in connection with the completion of a general medical visit, expert medical service, and other specialty visits for contracts where the service is not part of access fees. Visit fee revenue is driven primarily by the number of Clients, the number of members in a Client’s population, member utilization of our provider network services, and the contractually negotiated prices of our services. We believe that increasing our current member utilization rate and increasing penetration further into existing and new health plan Clients is a key objective in order for our Clients to realize tangible healthcare savings with our service. Visits increased by 14%, or 0.6 million, to approximately 4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Visits increased by 25%, or 2.8 million, to approximately 13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Utilization measures the ratio of visits to total U.S. paid members. It is calculated by dividing visits during a particular period (excluding visit fee only visits) by U.S. paid members in the applicable period and annualizing the result. Utilization increased by 128 basis points to approximately 22.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 21.0% in the same period in 2021. Utilization increased by 401 basis points to approximately 23.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 19.2% in the same period in 2021.
Number of Platform-Enabled Sessions. A platform-enabled session is a unique instance in which our licensed software platform has facilitated a virtual voice or video encounter between a care provider and our Client’s patient, or between care providers. We believe platform-enabled sessions are an indicator of the value our Clients derive from the platform they license from us in order to facilitate virtual care. Our Clients completed 1.0 million and 3.2 million platform-enabled sessions during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 1.0 million and 3.1 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
Chronic Care Enrollment. Our chronic care programs are one of the key components of our whole person virtual care platform that we believe position us to drive greater engagement with our platforms and increased revenue. Chronic care enrollment measures the number of unique individuals enrolled in one or more of our chronic care programs. Chronic care enrollment increased by 9% to 0.8 million at September 30, 2022, compared to 0.7 million at September 30, 2021.
Seasonality. In the past, we have typically seen the strongest increases in consecutive quarterly revenue during the fourth and first quarters of each year, which coincides with traditional annual benefit enrollment seasons. However, as our business has become more diversified across services, channels, and geographies, we see a growing diversification of Client start dates, resulting from growth in mental health offerings, health plan expansions, cross sales of new services, international growth, and mid-market employer growth, all of which are not constrained by a calendar year start. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock” included in the 2021 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
25
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, and other items. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2021 Form 10-K. In addition, the following updates our discussion of impairment testing therein as of September 30, 2022.
Goodwill Impairment Charge
We have experienced a pair of triggering events in 2022 due to sustained decreases in our share price, prompting impairment assessments of goodwill and long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, first as of March 31, 2022, and again as of June 30, 2022.
Both impairment assessments in 2022 reflected a 75%/25% allocation between the income and market approaches. We believe the 75% weighting to the income approach continues to be appropriate as it more directly reflects our future growth and profitability expectations. The table below indicates changes in the most significant inputs to our impairment analysis on each testing date since our last annual test.
In March 2022, we updated the forecasted future cash flows used in the impairment assessment, including revenues, margin, and capital expenditures to reflect current conditions. Other changes in valuation assumptions included increases in interest rates and market volatility, resulting in a higher discount rate, and selection of lower revenue multiples based upon an assessment of a relevant peer group. As a result of this review, we did not identify an impairment to our definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, but we recorded a $6.6 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $41.11 per basic and diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The non-cash charges had no impact on the provision for income taxes.
As of June 30, 2022, we updated valuation assumptions. The discount rate was increased for a company risk premium to reflect the current perception of risks of achieving projected cash flows and, to a lesser extent, to reflect further increases in interest rates and market volatility. Additionally, revenue market multiples were lowered based upon an updated analysis of a consistent peer group. The assessment did not result in an impairment of definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, but resulted in an additional $3.0 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $18.78 per basic and diluted share). For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a $9.6 billion non-deductible goodwill impairment charge (or $59.73 per basic and diluted share) was recognized. The non-cash charges had no impact on the provision for income taxes.
In the event there are further adverse changes in our projected cash flows and/or further changes in key assumptions, including but not limited to an increase in the discount rate, lower market multiples, lower revenue growth, lower margin, and/or a lower terminal growth rate, we may be required to record additional non-cash impairment charges to our goodwill, other intangibles, and/or long-lived assets. Such non-cash charges could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and balance sheet in the reporting period of the charge. Following the June 2022 impairment, there is no excess of reporting unit fair value over the carrying amount, so any further decrease in estimated fair value would result in an additional impairment charge. The assessment is most sensitive to broader market conditions, including the discount rate and market multiples, and to our estimated future cash flows.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use earnings before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance and financial and business trends from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. We utilize Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of our performance.
EBITDA consists of net loss before interest; other expense (income), net, including foreign exchange gain or loss; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; goodwill impairment; and loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest; other expense (income), net, including foreign exchange gain or loss; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; goodwill impairment; loss on extinguishment of debt; stock-based compensation; lease abandonment and exit costs; and acquisition, integration, and transformation costs.
We believe the above financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net loss before provision for income taxes, net loss, net loss per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect goodwill impairment; |
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense on our debt; |
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA eliminate the impact of the provision for income taxes on our results of operations; |
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the loss on extinguishment of debt; |
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect other expense (income), net; |
28
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect significant lease abandonment and exit costs. Lease abandonment and exit costs may include certain lease impairment costs and certain losses related to early lease terminations; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect significant acquisition, integration, and transformation costs. Acquisition, integration and transformation costs include investment banking, financing, legal, accounting, consultancy, integration, fair value changes related to contingent consideration and certain other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions. It also includes costs related to certain business transformation initiatives focused on integrating and optimizing various operations and systems, including upgrading our customer relationship management (“CRM”) and enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems. These transformation cost adjustments made to our results do not represent normal, recurring, operating expenses necessary to operate the business but rather, incremental costs incurred in connection with our acquisition and integration activities; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant non-cash stock compensation expense which should be viewed as a component of recurring operating costs; and |
● | Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of these measures as comparative measures. |
In addition, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any expenditures for such replacements.
We compensate for these limitations by using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include net loss, net loss per share, and other performance measures.
In evaluating these financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenue. Total revenue was $611.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $521.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $89.7 million, or 17%. This increase in revenue was driven substantially by the generation of additional access fees by our membership base, most significantly from our DTC mental health service, BetterHelp. Revenue from access fees was $540.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $448.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $91.2 million, or 20%. Visit fee revenue increased 5% to $65.6 million and other revenue was $5.8 million, down 43%, primarily related to the completion of a long-term development services contract. U.S. revenue grew 17% to $534.0 million and International revenue grew 17% to $77.4 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, 88%, 11%, and 1% of our revenue was derived from access fees, visit fees and other revenue, respectively, as compared to 86%, 12%, and 2%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Total revenue was $1,769.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,478.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $290.6 million, or 20%. This increase in revenue was driven substantially by the generation of additional access fees by our membership base, most significantly from our DTC mental health service, BetterHelp. Revenue from access fees was $1,550.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,262.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $288.1 million, or 23%. Visit fee revenue increased 8% to $200.2 million and other revenue was $18.8 million, down 40%, primarily related to the completion of a long-term development services contract. U.S. revenue grew 20% to $1,546.6 million and International revenue grew 19% to $222.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 88%, 11%, and 1% of our revenue was derived from access fees, visit fees and other revenue, respectively, as compared to 85%, 13%, and 2%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization, which is shown separately below). Cost of revenue was $185.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $169.0 million for the quarter ended
29
September 30, 2021, an increase of $16.6 million, or 10%. Cost of revenue increased by $79.8 million, or 17% on a year-to-date basis. The increases for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily due to growth in visits associated with higher revenue which resulted in increased provider fees, as well as higher device-related costs, and, to a lesser extent, inventory obsolescence write-downs.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses were $178.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $111.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $67.8 million, or 61%. On a year-to-date basis, advertising and marketing expenses increased by $173.4 million, or 57%. The increases for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were substantially driven by higher digital and media advertising costs related to BetterHelp.
Sales Expenses. Sales expenses were $54.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $62.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 13%. On a year-to-date basis, sales expenses decreased by $20.4 million, or 11%. The decrease for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation and other employee related costs, partially offset by higher sales and partner commissions driven by increased revenues.
Technology and Development Expenses. Technology and development expenses were $87.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $80.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $7.6 million, or 9%. The quarter reflects higher personnel costs and higher infrastructure, hosting and software license costs offset by lower stock-based compensation. On a year-to-date basis, technology and development expenses increased by $17.0 million, or 7%. The increase on a year-to-date basis primarily reflects additional personnel and staff augmentation costs; higher professional, recruiting and consulting fees; and higher infrastructure, hosting and software license costs. These increases were associated with ongoing projects and services to continuously improve and optimize our technology portfolio. Partially offsetting this increase was lower stock-based compensation. For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, research and development costs, which exclude amounts reflected as capitalized software, were $26.1 million and $53.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, research and development costs were $75.8 million and $160.0 million, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $9.5 million, or 9%, to $112.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $103.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. On a year-to-date basis, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.9 million, or 3%. For both the quarter and year-to-date periods, higher personnel expenses, professional fees, operating costs including therapist recruiting costs and call center activities, and other corporate expenses were primarily offset by lower stock-based compensation, legal expenses, and other taxes. General and administrative expenses also include lease abandonment and exit costs of $3.7 million in both the quarter and nine months ended September, 30, 2022.
Acquisition, Integration, and Transformation Costs. Acquisition, integration, and transformation costs were $1.6 million and $9.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and primarily consisted of costs to integrate and upgrade our CRM and ERP ecosystem. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, acquisition, integration, and transformation costs were $4.3 million and $22.1 million, respectively, and primarily consisted of acquisition and integration related costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $62.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $51.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 19%. Depreciation and amortization was $180.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $151.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $28.4 million, or 19%. The higher expense was primarily due to additional amortization expense related to the acceleration of the amortization of certain trademarks, and, to a lesser extent, higher amortization associated with higher capitalized software development costs. As it relates to the acceleration of the useful lives for certain trademarks, this change related to our strategy to integrate and move certain consumer brands under the Teladoc Health brand. This acceleration of amortization resulted in decreasing the weighted average useful life of all trademarks at the date of the change from 9.5 years to 7.5 years. This change will increase annual amortization by approximately $23.2 million in 2022 and 2023.
Goodwill Impairment. We recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $9,630.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, following goodwill impairment testings performed as a result of sustained decreases in our publicly quoted share price. The non-cash charges had no impact on the provision for income taxes. Refer to
30
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies: Goodwill Impairment Charge and Note 7, Goodwill, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Losses on extinguishment of debt were $0.9 million and $43.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. They were primarily due to the exchanges and conversions of the 2025 Notes.
Other Expense (Income), Net. Other expense (income), net was an expense of $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to an income of $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and included foreign exchange remeasurements. Other expense (income), net was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to ($5.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The difference was primarily due to a $5.9 million gain on sale of a non-marketable equity security.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net consists of interest costs and amortization of debt discount associated with advances from financing companies, our convertible senior notes, and interest income from cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest expense, net was $1.3 million and $18.9 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense, net was $11.2 million and $61.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in interest expense substantially reflects the adoption of ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” which resulted in the elimination of non-cash interest expense associated with the accretion of the recorded debt value to stated value. Refer to Note 11, Convertible Senior Notes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The associated non-cash expense was $13.5 million, or $0.08 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and $43.8 million, or $0.28 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to an expense of $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to an expense of $93.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a non-cash income tax discrete charge of $87.0 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 for additional valuation allowance on excess stock compensation benefits associated with the Livongo merger.

Total | $ | 12,007 | $ | 92,198 |
Our principal source of liquidity was cash provided by operating activities, reflecting cash and cash equivalents comprised substantially of deposit accounts and money market funds, totaling $899.6 million as of September 30, 2022.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, and contractual obligation needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, contract renewal activity, number of visits, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, our expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings, the continuing market acceptance of telehealth, and our debt service obligations. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, technologies, and intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to fund working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, and to settle debt obligations. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
31
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities, debt issuance, and bank borrowings. See Note 11, “Convertible Senior Notes” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the Notes.
We routinely enter into contractual obligations with third parties to provide professional services, licensing, and other products and services in support of our ongoing business. The current estimated cost of these contracts is not expected to be significant to our liquidity and capital resources based on contracts in place as of September 30, 2022.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities was $123.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $110.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The year-over-year higher inflow was primarily driven by growth in the business and a change in the timing of payments.
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for the payment of cash compensation, provider fees, engagement marketing, DTC digital and media advertising, inventory, insurance, technology costs, interest expense and acquisition, integration, and transformation costs. Historically, our cash compensation is at its highest level in the first quarter when we pay discretionary employee compensation related to the previous fiscal year.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $113.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven primarily by payments for capitalized software development costs associated with ongoing projects and services to continuously improve and optimize our technology portfolio.
Cash used in investing activities was $52.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by cash paid for the acquisition of businesses and, to a lesser extent, capitalized software development costs, partially offset by proceeds from sale of short-term marketable securities and sale of an investment.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.1 million, primarily consisting of the proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options, proceeds withheld from participants in the employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by net payments against advances from financing companies.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $34.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of the proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options, proceeds withheld from participants in the employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by net payments against advances from financing companies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Exchange Risk
Cash equivalents that are subject to interest rate volatility represent our principal market risk. We do not expect cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates as our Notes bear fixed interest rates. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
We operate our business primarily within the U.S. which accounts for approximately 87% of our revenues. We have not utilized hedging strategies with respect to our foreign exchange exposure as we believe it is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Clients
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We deposit our cash with financial institutions in the U.S. and in foreign countries,
32
however, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Our cash equivalents are primarily invested in institutional money market funds.
No Client represented over 10% of revenues for the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.
No Client represented over 10% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system for selected entities and transaction types included within our consolidated financial statements. As a result of this ERP system implementation, we revised certain existing internal controls, processes, and procedures. There are inherent risks in implementing an ERP system and, accordingly, we will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of these controls.
Other than this ERP system implementation, there were no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 15, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Teladoc Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and Michael Waters, an individual, residing at [ ] (the “Executive”).
1.Employment. During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company shall employ Executive, and Executive shall serve as Chief Operating Officer (“COO”).
2.Duties and Responsibilities of Executive.
(a)While employed by the Company, Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention to the business of the Company or its Affiliates, as applicable, will act in the best interests of the Company and will perform with due care Executive’s duties and responsibilities. Executive’s duties will include those normally incidental to the position of COO as well as such additional duties of an executive and managerial nature, consistent with his position as may be assigned to him by Jason Gorevic (Executive’s “Direct Report”) or such other person who may be designated to serve as Executive’s direct report by the Company from time to time. It is anticipated that Executive’s duties will include, inter alia, redefining and evolving the operating model and ensuring Teladoc has the proper infrastructure, systems, people, and metrics, to enable Teladoc to successfully scale across sectors and geographies. While employed by the Company, Executive will not hold any type of outside employment, engage in any type of consulting or otherwise render services to or for any other person or business concern without the advance written consent of the Company; provided that Executive may manage personal investments and engage in charitable and civic activities, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with Executive’s obligations to the Company.
(b)Executive represents and covenants that, in the course of his employment herein, he shall not use or disclose any confidential or protected information belonging to any of Executive’s previous employers unless specifically allowed to do so under a written agreement. The Company represents and covenants that, in the course of performing his duties hereunder, Executive shall not be required to disclose any confidential or protected information belonging to any of Executive’s previous employers.
3.Compensation. Any salary, bonus and other compensation payments hereunder shall be subject to all applicable payroll and other taxes, deductions and withholdings.
(a)While Executive is employed by the Company, the Company shall pay to Executive a base annualized salary of $470,000 (the “Base Salary”) in consideration for Executive’s services under this Agreement, payable on a not less than monthly basis. The Base Salary shall be subject to modification from time to time as determined by the Company in its discretion.
(b)Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual corporate bonus with a target amount equal to 75% of his then-applicable base salary. Executive will be eligible to receive a guaranteed annual corporate bonus of 75% of his then-applicable base salary for 2022, provided Executive remains employed through December 31, 2022. For 2023, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual corporate bonus with a target amount equal to 75%, with 37.5% of his then-applicable base salary guaranteed as an annual corporate bonus for 2023 and the remaining 37.5% subject to the sole discretion of the Company. Beginning in 2024, Executive’s annual corporate bonuses (with a target amount equal to 75%), if any, will be paid at the Company’s sole discretion based on, inter alia, a consideration of the Company’s goals and an assessment of Executive’s individual performance. Specifically, Executive’s bonuses are based on achievement of specified goals to be established by Executive’s Direct Report in consultation with the Executive. No bonus will be paid unless Executive is actively employed in good standing through the last day of the year for which such bonus is payable. The bonus, if any, will be payable no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the last day of the year for which the bonus is paid.
(c)Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Executive will also receive a new hire equity grant having a value, as of the date of grant, equal to $5,000,000 in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSU’s will vest in the following manner: 1/3 of the RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and the remaining 2/3 of the RSUs will vest in equal quarterly installments beginning on the 15-month anniversary of the Effective Date and ending on the 3-year anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through each vesting date.
(d)Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Executive will also receive ongoing equity grants (estimated to be a target amount of $4,000,000, but may vary depending on, inter alia, achievement of certain established performance targets, etc.), 50% of which will be in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 50% of which will be in the form of performance stock units (“PSUs”). The RSUs will vest ratably on the 1-year, 2-year and 3-year anniversaries of the RSU grant date, and the PSUs will vest based on attainment of the established performance metrics, which will be described in the applicable award agreement.
(e)Executive shall also receive a sign-on bonus equal to $775,000 (the “Sign-On Bonus”), less applicable withholdings, payable on the Executive’s first pay date following the Effective Date. Executive acknowledges that the payment of this sign-on bonus is an advance, and the sign-on bonus is only deemed earned upon the successful completion of two years of employment with the Company. In the event the Executive resigns or leaves his employment with the Company or is terminated by the Company for Cause prior to the 2-year anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive shall be deemed to have earned the sign-on bonus on a pro-rata monthly basis (divided equally for 24 months from the Effective Date) at the successful conclusion of each month of Executive’s employment with the Company, and the Executive agrees to repay any portion of the sign-on bonus to the Company that are deemed unearned, as determined at the sole discretion
2
of the Company. Should there be any portion of the sign-on bonus deemed unearned that must be repaid to the Company by Executive, then he will be obligated to repay the net amount (i.e. minus applicable withholdings and deductions) of the unearned sign-on bonus to the Company.
4.Term of Employment. Executive is expected to remain employed with the Company for a period of not less than two (2) years, subject to earlier termination as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement. Specifically, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time in accordance with Section 6.
5.Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits while employed by the Company:

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Disability” shall exist if Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of his position, with reasonable accommodation, due to physical or mental illness or injury which continues for a period in excess of four (4) consecutive months. The determination of a Disability will be made by the Company; provided that if the Executive disputes the determination, the matter shall be submitted to a qualified doctor mutually acceptable to the Company and the Executive for final determination, and the Executive shall submit to such examinations as the doctor shall reasonably request in order to enable the doctor to make the determination. If requested by the Company, Executive shall submit to a mental or physical examination to be performed by an independent physician selected by the Company to assist the Company in making such determination.

The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive in accordance with applicable law and shall be subject to applicable tax and withholding.

7.Severance Plan. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Teladoc Health, Inc.

8.Conflicts of Interest. Executive agrees that he shall promptly disclose to the Board any conflict of interest involving Executive upon Executive becoming aware of such conflict.
9.Confidential Information.
(a)“Confidential Information” means information, or a compilation of information, in any form (tangible or intangible), related to the Company’s or any of the
5
Related Companies’ business and of value to it that Executive first acquires or gains access to as a consequence of Executive’s employment with the Company if the Company has not made it public or authorized public disclosure of it and it is not readily available through lawful and proper means to the public or others in the industry who have no obligation to keep it confidential. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: the Company’s business plans, financial information and analysis, customer and prospective customer lists, employee lists, marketing plans and strategies, research and development data, buying practices, vendor lists, internal business methods, techniques, technical data, know-how, innovations, computer programs, un-patented inventions, and trade secrets; and information about the business affairs of third parties (including, but not limited to, customers, licensors and suppliers) that such third parties provide to Company in confidence. Due to its special value and utility as a compilation, a confidential compilation will remain protected as Confidential Information even if some items of information within the list are in the public domain. Private disclosure of otherwise Confidential Information to parties the Company is doing business with for business purposes will not cause the information to lose its protected status under this Agreement.
(b)During Executive’s employment and for so long thereafter as the information qualifies as “Confidential Information” under this Agreement, Executive shall not engage in any use or disclosure of Confidential Information that is not authorized by the Company and undertaken for the benefit of the Company, except as may be permitted under Section 12 (Protected Conduct) below. These obligations do not prohibit Executive’s use of generally available knowledge, skill and education that is not specific to the Company or its business relationships but is instead knowledge generic to the industry or Executive’s profession. Executive shall comply with all Company policies and directives concerning the use, storage, and transfer of Confidential Information. Unless prohibited by law from doing so, Executive will notify the Company as quickly as possible after being served with a subpoena, order, or other legal mandate requiring the production of Confidential Information so that the Company can take reasonable steps to protect its interests.
10.Intellectual Property.
(a)Executive understands that Executive is being employed and paid to use all of Executive’s abilities, including creative and inventive skills, for the benefit of the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that any inventions, improvements, discoveries, ideas, concepts, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyright eligible works of authorship and mask works (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Intellectual Property”) that Executive develops, discovers, conceives or creates while employed with the Company or providing services to an Affiliate, alone or with others, during regular working hours or outside of them, that either: (i) relates to the business of the Company or the Affiliate or their actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, (ii) is developed or discovered with the assistance of Confidential Information, tools, equipment, personnel or other resources of the Company or a Related Company, or (iii) is suggested by, related to, or result from any work performed by Executive for the Company or an Affiliate; will be deemed “Work Product.” Executive hereby fully and finally assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to all of Executive’s Work Product. Executive’s Work
6
Product will be the property of the Company from the date of conception, irrespective of when, how, or if it is ever reduced to tangible form or practice. Executive’s assignment of Work Product shall include assignment to the Affiliate where the interests of an Affiliate are involved as determined by the Company. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this Agreement creates or requires assignment of an invention that cannot be assigned in an employment agreement under controlling law where controlling state law has such a limitation.
(b)All original works of authorship made by Executive, solely or jointly with others, while employed with the Company that relate to the Company’s line of business will be considered done within the scope of Executive’s employment and thus “work made for hire” under the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. § 101) and all comparable laws throughout the world. All ownership and copyrights in this “work for hire” will belong exclusively to the Company or its designee, and to the extent any rights therein are not automatically conveyed to the Company they will be deemed assigned to the Company. In this respect, the covered original works of authorship are also Work Product. Original works of authorship (Work Products) covered by the foregoing are understood to include, without limitation, all writings, source code, computer programs, algorithms, photos, images, drawings, branding concepts, and other work product of any nature whatsoever consisting of copyrightable subject matter. Executive waives all claims Executive may now or hereafter have to rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal, artists’ rights, and any other rights that may be known as “moral rights” with respect to the above-referenced work made for hire, Work Product, and all derivative works thereof.
(c)Executive shall, during and after Executive’s employment with the Company, execute all documents, and will assist the Company in every reasonable and proper way, to obtain and enforce patents, trademark registrations, service mark registrations and copyrights for the Intellectual Property in any and all countries. The Company will pay the expenses for obtaining and enforcing these patents, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, and copyrights. If Executive retains ownership of any item of Intellectual Property or copyright eligible work that is incorporated into a Company product or service (an item of “Incorporated IP”), Executive grants to the Company, a non-exclusive, fully-paid (royalty-free) and irrevocable worldwide license to incorporate into its products and services, reproduce, make derivative works of, sell, and otherwise use the Incorporated IP.
11.Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not at any time, whether during or after employment with the Company, in any way undertake to disparage, demean, or cast in a false, misleading or negative light, the Company, its products, services, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, vendors, or customers, or their successors, or in any other way publish negative statements about them or exhibit an attitude of hostility toward them; provided, however, that nothing herein will prohibit him from providing truthful testimony in a legal proceeding or prohibit conduct that is Protected Conduct under Section 12 below.
7
12.Protected Conduct. Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive from opposing or reporting to the relevant law-enforcement agency (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission) an event Executive reasonably and in good faith believes is a violation of law, requires notice to or approval from Company before doing so, or prohibits cooperating in an investigation conducted by such a government agency, nor does it prohibit disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that Executive has reason to believe is unlawful. Executive acknowledges notice that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA): (1) no individual (consultant, contractor or employee) will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and, (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order. The foregoing will not be construed to invite, permit, or limit liability for otherwise illegal activity such a breaking and entering, illegal computer access (hacking) or theft of the Company property.
13.Defense of Claims. Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and thereafter, upon reasonable request from the Company, Executive will reasonably cooperate with the Company or its Affiliates in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company or its Affiliates that relate to Executive’s actual or prior areas of responsibility, except if Executive’s reasonable interests are adverse to the Company or its Affiliate(s), as applicable, in such claim or action. The Company agrees to pay or reimburse Executive for all of Executive’s reasonable travel and other direct expenses incurred, or to be reasonably incurred, to comply with Executive’s obligations under this Section 13. Reimbursement of expenses under this Section 13 shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after Executive submits all supporting documentation. Executive is not permitted to receive a payment or benefit in lieu of or in exchange for reimbursement under this Section 13. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in one year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other year.
14.Withholdings; Right of Offset. The Company may withhold and deduct from any payments made or to be made pursuant to this Agreement (a) all federal, state, local and other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling or (b) any deductions consented to in writing by Executive.
15.Title and Headings; Construction. Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Any and all exhibits or attachments referred to in this Agreement are, by such reference, incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular provision hereof.
8
16.Applicable Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed and construed according to the laws of the State of California. The parties hereby consent, recognize, and agree that should any resort to a court be necessary for any disputes related to Executive’s employment with the Company, then they consent to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California.
17.Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein; moreover, this Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by both parties hereto.
18.Waiver of Breach. Any waiver of this Agreement must be executed by the party to be bound by such waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party or any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any subsequent time. The failure of either party hereto to take any action by reason of any breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while such breach continues.
19.Assignment. This Agreement is personal to Executive, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferred by Executive. The Company may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates and to any successor (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets or businesses of the Company, if such successor expressly agrees to assume the obligations of the Company hereunder.

24.Compliance with Code Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from Code Section 409A, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be within the scope of available exemptions (including the “short-term deferral” exemption and the “separation pay” exemption found in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and (9), respectively). To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are not exempt from Code Section 409A, any such reimbursements payable to Executive shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; provided, that Executive submits Executive’s reimbursement request promptly following the date the expense is incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year
10
shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, other than medical expenses referred to in Code Section 105(b), and Executive’s right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 24 to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be deemed to have provided any representation or warranty regarding the tax treatment of any payments made to Executive by the Company and any taxes imposed on Executive in connection with such payments shall be the responsibility of Executive.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive and the Company each have caused this Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf, to be effective as of the Effective Date.
