NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
23andMe Holding Co. (the “Company” or “23andMe”) is dedicated to helping people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome. The Company is dedicated to empowering customers to optimize their health by providing consumers direct access to their genetic information, personalized reports, actionable insights, and digital access to affordable healthcare professionals through the Company’s telehealth platform, Lemonaid Health, Inc. (“Lemonaid Health”).
The Company pioneered direct-to-consumer genetic testing, giving consumers unique, personalized information about their genetic health risks, ancestry, and traits. It was the first company to obtain Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) authorization for a direct-to-consumer genetic test, and it is the only company to have FDA authorization, clearance, or an exemption from premarket notification for all of the carrier status, genetic health risk, cancer predisposition, and pharmacogenetics reports that the Company offers to customers.
Through the Lemonaid Health telehealth platform, the Company connects patients to licensed healthcare professionals to provide affordable and direct online access to medical care, from consultation through treatment, for a number of common conditions, using evidence-based guidelines and up-to-date clinical protocols. When medications are prescribed by Lemonaid Health’s affiliated healthcare professionals, patients can use Lemonaid Health’s online pharmacy for fulfillment. Patients also can access telehealth consultations for certain 23andMe genetic reports through Lemonaid Health.
As previously disclosed, the Company formed a special committee composed of independent members of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) on March 28, 2024. The role of the Special Committee is to review strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company to maximize stockholder value. On April 17, 2024, Anne Wojcicki, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Co-Founder, and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company disclosed that she is considering making a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company that she does not currently own. Ms. Wojcicki also indicated that she wishes to maintain control of the Company and, therefore, will not be willing to support any alternative transaction. As previously disclosed, on July 29, 2024, the Special Committee received a preliminary non-binding indication of interest from Ms. Wojcicki to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company not owned by her or her affiliates or any other stockholder that she invites to roll over their shares, for cash consideration of $0.40 per share (on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis) (the “Preliminary Proposal”), as set forth in Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by ABeeC 2.0 LLC (Ms. Wojcicki’s affiliated entity) (“ABeeC”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 31, 2024. On August 2, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Special Committee’s response to the Preliminary Proposal, including certain requirements for any revised proposal from Ms. Wojcicki. As disclosed in Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by ABeeC with the SEC on September 11, 2024, in response to requests from the Special Committee, on September 9, 2024, Ms. Wojcicki notified the members of the Special Committee that Ms. Wojcicki would be open to considering third-party takeover proposals for the Company. On September 17, 2024, the Company issued a press release regarding the resignations of seven non-employee directors (collectively, the “Resigning Directors”) from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Resignations”). As set forth in the Resigning Directors’ resignation letter dated September 17, 2024, the Resigning Directors stated that such Resigning Directors differed from Ms. Wojcicki on the strategic direction for the Company, and that, as a result of such difference and Ms. Wojcicki’s concentrated voting power, the Resigning Directors believed that it was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders to resign from the Board of Directors. In Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by ABeeC with the SEC on September 18, 2024, Ms. Wojcicki announced that the Company will immediately begin identifying independent directors to join the Company’s Board of Directors. In Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by ABeeC with the SEC on September 30, 2024, Ms. Wojcicki disclosed that she was no longer open to considering any third-party proposals to buy the Company and that she remains committed to completing a take-private acquisition of the Company. In connection with the Company’s announcement of the appointment of three independent directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, ABeeC filed Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D with the SEC on October 29, 2024. Each of the newly-appointed independent directors was subsequently appointed to the Special Committee on November 2, 2024. On January 28, 2025, the Special Committee announced that it has undertaken a process to explore strategic alternatives, including, among other alternatives, a possible sale of the Company, business combination, sale of all or part of the Company’s assets, licensing of assets, restructuring, or other strategic action. In response to a request from the Special Committee and as disclosed in Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed by ABeeC with the SEC on January 31, 2025, Ms. Wojcicki stated that based on developments subsequent to her previous statement that she would not be willing to consider third-party takeover proposals for the Company, Ms. Wojcicki had changed her view and is now willing to consider third-party takeover proposals for the Company or other strategic alternatives that may be in the best interests of the Company.
The Company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and is incorporated in the State of Delaware.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s operations were primarily in the United States. The Company had immaterial operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) prior to the disposition of its U.K. subsidiary on August 1, 2023.
As previously disclosed, on November 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reduction in force (the “November 2024 Reduction in Force”), which also included the closure of substantially all operations in the Company’s Therapeutics operating segment (together with the November 2024 Reduction in Force, the “November 2024 Reduction Plan”). The November 2024 Reduction Plan is intended to restructure and strategically align the Company’s workforce and organization with the Company’s current strategy and to reduce the Company’s operating costs. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 205”), the Company determined that the closure of substantially all operations in the Company's Therapeutics operating segment on November 11, 2024 represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, thus meeting the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024. As a result, the Company has retrospectively recast its consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024 and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the assets and liabilities and operating results, respectively, related to the disposed business in discontinued operations. The Company has chosen not to segregate the cash flows of the disposed business in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Supplemental disclosures related to discontinued operations for the statements of cash flows have been provided in Note 3, “Discontinued Operations.” Unless otherwise specified, the disclosures in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements refer to continuing operations only.
The Company previously operated its business through two reporting segments: (1) Consumer and Research Services; and (2) Therapeutics. With the discontinuation of the Therapeutics operating segment, the Company now operates its business as one segment as of December 31, 2024.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024 (the “Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K”).
Change in Capital Structure
As described more fully in Note 12, “Stockholders' Equity,” effective October 16, 2024, the Company effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all of its issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including, but not limited to, shares issued and outstanding, dollar amounts of common stock, additional paid-in capital, earnings/(loss) per share, and options, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented in order to reflect this change in capital structure. There were no changes to the total numbers of authorized shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock or their respective par values per share as a result of this change.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2024 (the “audited consolidated financial statements”) that were included in the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2024 and its condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending March 31, 2025 or any other future interim or annual periods, due to among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to fiscal 2025 refer to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and references to fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 refer to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to the determination of standalone selling price for various performance obligations; the estimated expected benefit period for the rate and recognition pattern of breakage revenue for purchases where a saliva collection kit (“kit”) is never returned for processing; the capitalization and estimated useful life of internal use software; the useful life of long-lived assets; fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations; the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases; stock-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of stock options and annual incentive bonuses payable in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”); the assumptions used in going concern assessments; legal contingencies; and the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require revisions to estimates, updates to judgments, or adjustments to the carrying value of assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and/or additional information is obtained, and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
Certain of the raw materials, components, and equipment associated with the deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) microarrays and kits used by the Company in the delivery of its services are available only from third-party suppliers. The Company also relies on a third-party laboratory service for the processing of its customer samples. Shortages and slowdowns could occur in these essential materials, components, equipment, and laboratory services due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If the Company were unable to procure certain materials, components, equipment, or laboratory services at acceptable prices, it would be required to reduce its laboratory operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
A single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of microarrays, and a separate single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of kits for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. One laboratory service provider accounted for 100% of the Company’s processing of customer samples for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains a majority of its cash and cash equivalents with a single high-quality financial institution, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by the Company. The Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are derived primarily from the United States. See Note 4, “Revenue,” for additional information regarding geographical disaggregation of revenue. The Company grants credit to its customers in the
normal course of business, performs credit evaluations of its significant customers on an as-needed basis, and does not require collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are limited as the Company’s trade receivables are primarily related to third parties, which collect its credit card receivables, and large multinational corporations. The Company regularly monitors the aging of accounts receivable balances.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash consists of bank deposits held at financial institutions. Cash in U.S. banks is insured to the extent defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term money market funds. The Company maintains certain cash amounts restricted as to its withdrawal or use, which are related to letters of credit in connection with the Company’s Sunnyvale operating lease agreement and the Company’s credit card processor, as well as collateral held against the Company’s corporate credit cards. The Company held total restricted cash of $13.9 million and $8.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in restricted cash is related to a new letter of credit entered into by the Company in April 2024, and subsequently amended and increased in November 2024, as collateral related to the Company’s credit card processor.
Impairment and Abandonment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, internal-use software, acquired intangible assets, and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets related to operating leases for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows these assets are expected to generate. If the recoverability test indicates that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable, the Company would estimate the fair value of the asset group using the discounted cash flow method. An impairment would be recognized in the event that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value attributable to such assets. The useful lives of long-lived assets are evaluated whenever events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period.
When an operating lease ROU asset has been abandoned, the estimated useful life of the asset is updated to reflect the cease use date, and the remaining carrying value of the asset is amortized ratably over the period between the commitment date and the cease use date.
Escrow Related to Acquisition
On November 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Lemonaid Health, and upon the acquisition closing date, funds were placed in escrow to cover a potential purchase price adjustment and to secure the indemnification obligations of the former equity holders of Lemonaid Health. In May 2023, $6.0 million of the escrow amount was
released. The remaining escrow amount of $6.2 million was released during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Accordingly, the entire escrow amount has been released.
Liquidity and Going Concern
Going Concern
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In accordance with Subtopic 205-40, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are issued.
The Company has incurred significant operating losses as reflected in its accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.4 billion, and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $79.4 million. The Company will need additional liquidity to fund its necessary expenditures and financial commitments for 12 months after the date that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are issued. The Company has determined that, as of the filing date of this report, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To improve its financial condition and liquidity position, the Company is attempting to raise additional capital. In addition, the Company is working to implement cost-cutting measures, including further reducing operating expenses, negotiating terminations of the Company's long-term real estate leases, and attempting to reach a settlement covering all U.S. customers affected by the Cyber Incident (as defined below) as well as to resolve non-U.S. litigation and ongoing investigations from various governmental agencies arising from the Cyber Incident. See Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," for additional details. To reduce the Company's operating costs, during the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the November 2024 Reduction in Force, which represented a reduction of approximately 40% of the Company’s workforce and included the closing of substantially all operations in the Company's former Therapeutics operating segment, and the ceasing of additional investment in the Company’s two clinical trials beyond their respective current stages of development. See Note 9, “Restructuring,” for additional details. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, however, is contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement steps such as those referenced above, and if the Company fails to do so and/or is unable to raise sufficient capital or consummate a strategic transaction, it would be forced to modify or cease operations, liquidate assets, or pursue bankruptcy proceedings. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that may prevent, and there can be no assurances regarding, the successful implementation of the Company’s operational and financial plans and/or the consummation of any transactions. See Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business,” for additional details.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments pertaining to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
Nasdaq Deficiency Minimum Bid Price
On November 10, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “First Nasdaq Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Company’s failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement was based on its Class A common stock per share price being below the $1.00 threshold for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Pursuant to the First Nasdaq Letter, the Company had an initial 180 calendar days from the date of the First Nasdaq Letter to regain compliance. The Company did not regain compliance during the initial compliance period.
On May 9, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff notifying the Company that it had been granted an additional 180 days, or until November 4, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. In order to be
eligible to receive the second compliance period, the Company applied to have its Class A common stock transferred from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In connection with the foregoing, on July 16, 2024, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC in connection with the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on August 26, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders, by an affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (67%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together as a single class, approved a proposal authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, by a ratio of not less than one-for-five and not more than one-for-thirty, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion. On October 7, 2024, the Company’s Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-twenty. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 16, 2024.
On October 30, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Compliance Notice”) from the Staff informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Staff notified the Company in the Compliance Notice that, from October 16, 2024 to October 29, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock had been $1.00 per share or greater and, accordingly, the Company had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement and that the matter was now closed.
Nasdaq Deficiency Independent Directors
On September 18, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff, notifying the Company that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 (the “Second Nasdaq Letter”). Specifically, as a result of the Resignations, the Company was no longer in compliance with the following (collectively, the “Corporate Governance Requirements”):
•Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b), which requires, among other things, that a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors be comprised of Independent Directors (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2));
•Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c), which requires, among other things, that the Company have an Audit Committee that has at least three members, each of whom must (i) be an Independent Director, (ii) meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years, and (iv) be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements;
•Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d), which requires, among other things, that the Company have a Compensation Committee that has at least two members, each of whom must be an Independent Director; and
•Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(e), which requires, among other things, that the Company have Independent Director oversight of director nominations.
Pursuant to the Second Nasdaq Letter, the Company had until October 3, 2024 to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Corporate Governance Requirements (the “Plan”) for the Staff’s review. The Company submitted the Plan to the Staff on September 26, 2024.
On October 29, 2024, the Company announced the appointment of three independent directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, each of whom was appointed to the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee (the “Appointments”). On October 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff informing the Company that, as a result of the Appointments, the Company had regained compliance with the Corporate Governance Requirements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Updated (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and
requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid information. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts and method of adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date, to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new standards.
3. Discontinued Operations
In accordance with ASC 205, the Company determined that the closure of substantially all operations in the Company’s Therapeutics operating segment in November 2024 represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, thus meeting the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024. Discontinued operations include research and development costs, including lab-related research services, clinical development, and collaboration costs, as well as personnel-related, lease, equipment, and depreciation costs associated with the former Therapeutics operating segment. Also included are restructuring costs, including cash severance payments, benefits continuation, stock-based compensation, and exit costs associated with the Company abandoning the lease for its South San Francisco, California lab facility (the “South San Francisco Facility”) following the November 2024 Reduction Plan.
General corporate overhead costs for shared services historically allocated to the former Therapeutics operating segment that do not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations have been allocated to the continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20 for the periods presented herein, as the costs were not directly attributable to the discontinued operations of the former Therapeutics operating segment. These costs were $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.4 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the former Therapeutics operating segment after the disposal transaction.
The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations:

(1)In connection with the November 2024 Reduction Plan, the Company wrote off leasehold improvements and disposed of certain laboratory equipment and software. The loss on disposal of property and equipment was immaterial for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
(2)The Company's operating lease for the South San Francisco Facility has a remaining contractual period of 2.1 years. As of December 31, 2024, the future minimum lease payments included in the measurement of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were $1.1 million for the remainder of fiscal 2025, $4.6 million for fiscal 2026, and $3.9 million for fiscal 2027, and the total imputed interest was $0.7 million.

Breakage Revenue
The Company sells through multiple channels, including direct-to-consumer via the Company’s website and through online retailers. If the customer does not return the kit for processing, services cannot be completed by the Company, potentially resulting in unexercised rights (“breakage”) revenue. The Company recognized breakage revenue from unreturned kits of $4.4 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $13.8 million and $13.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts associated with contractual rights related to consideration for performance obligations in the Company's Research Services contracts and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount of contract assets was immaterial as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, deferred revenue for consumer services was $59.8 million and $52.3 million, respectively. Of the $52.3 million of deferred revenue for consumer services as of March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $6.5 million and $38.9 million as revenue during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, deferred revenue for research services was $3.1 million and $22.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, deferred revenue for research services included $2.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively, of related party deferred revenue. Of the $22.5 million of deferred revenue for research services as of March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $19.8 million and $21.2 million as revenue during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which included related party revenue of $19.7 million and $20.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that are expected to be billed and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company has utilized the practical expedient available under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for PGS and telehealth as those contracts have an expected length of one year or less. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for research services was $7.2 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 51% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were immaterial.
5. Collaborations
GlaxoSmithKline Agreement and Subsequent Amendments
In July 2018, the Company and an affiliate of GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) entered into a four-year exclusive drug discovery and development collaboration agreement, amended in 2019 and 2021, respectively (as amended, the “original GSK Agreement”), for collaboration on identification and development of therapeutic agents with a unilateral option for GSK to extend the term for an additional year. In January 2022, GSK elected to exercise the option to extend the exclusive target discovery term for an additional year to July 23, 2023, after which it expired under the original GSK Agreement.
The Company has concluded that GSK is considered a customer. Therefore, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 606 to account for and present consideration received from GSK related to research services provided by the Company. The Company’s activities under the original GSK Agreement, which included reporting, drug target discovery, and joint steering committee participation, represented one combined performance obligation to deliver research services. The Company recognized research services revenue related to the original GSK Agreement as the respective performance obligations were satisfied using an input method to measure progress. In addition, the original GSK Agreement, provided GSK the right to include certain identified pre-existing Company programs in the collaboration at GSK’s election, each of which was considered distinct from the research services.
Prior to the expiration of the original GSK Agreement, drug targets were identified for inclusion in the collaboration during the performance of research services. Cost sharing related to the performance of research services was recorded when incurred within cost of revenue.
For the drug targets that had been identified for inclusion in the original collaboration, the Company and GSK equally shared in the costs of further research, development, and commercialization of identified targets under the original GSK Agreement, subject to certain rights of either party to opt-out of funding at certain predetermined development milestones. These cost-sharing charges for the program costs incurred subsequent to the identification of drug targets have been included in research and development expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period incurred. The Company may also share in the net profits or losses of products that are commercialized pursuant to the collaboration or receive royalties on products which are successfully commercialized.
In October 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the original GSK Agreement (the “2023 GSK Amendment”) to provide GSK with a non-exclusive license to certain new, de-identified, aggregated data included in the Company’s database (the “New Data”), as well as access to certain Company research services with respect to such New Data in return for a $20.0 million data access fee, which the Company received during fiscal 2024. The license to the New Data will expire one year from the date GSK provides the Company with a notice that GSK was ready to use the New Data (the “Data Use Notice”); in September 2024, the Company and GSK agreed to extend the deadline for the Data Use Notice from September 30, 2024 to October 28, 2024. Revenue attributable to the New Data license was accounted for upon the satisfaction of performance obligations and was recognized upon the Company’s receipt of the Data Use Notice from GSK, which occurred on October 28, 2024. Revenue attributable to research services will be recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied using an input method to measure progress. The Company believes that actual hours incurred relative to contractually agreed upon hours is the most accurate measurement of progress for the input method. As of December 31, 2024, deferred revenue associated with the New Data access was $0.4 million. The license to the New Data will expire on October 28, 2025.
Pursuant to the 2023 GSK Amendment, the Company opted-out of cost-sharing and other research and development obligations with respect to three programs initiated by GSK and the Company under the original GSK Agreement. The Company will retain rights to receive low to mid single digit royalties on net sales of products developed in these three programs.
The Company did not recognize research services revenue related to the original GSK Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized research services revenue related to the original GSK Agreement of nil and $11.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized research services revenue related to the 2023 GSK Amendment of $19.6 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not recognize research services revenue related to the 2023 GSK Amendment during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had deferred revenue of $0.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, related to the 2023 GSK Amendment. Cost-sharing amounts incurred prior to the identification of targets included in cost of service revenue were nil during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, and were nil and immaterial for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
Cost-sharing amounts incurred subsequent to the identification of targets were $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $2.8 million and $11.0 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, included within net loss from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, related to balances of amounts payable to GSK for reimbursement of shared costs included within current liabilities from discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
GSK’s affiliate, Glaxo Group Limited, is considered as a related party to the Company. See Note 18, “Related Party Transactions.”
6. Variable Interest Entities
In providing telehealth services that include professional medical consultations, the Company maintains relationships with various affiliated professional medical corporations (“PMCs”). Additionally, with respect to its telehealth services involving the sale of prescription products, the Company maintains relationships with affiliated pharmacies (collectively, the “Affiliated Pharmacies”) to fill prescriptions that are ordered by the Company’s patients. On February 15, 2024, the Company acquired full ownership of the active Affiliated Pharmacies, and thereafter the Company
ceased to treat the Affiliated Pharmacies as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). The Company determined that the PMCs are, and prior to being acquired by the Company, the Affiliated Pharmacies were, VIEs, in each case due to the respective equity holders having nominal capital at risk and the Company having a variable interest in each of the PMCs and, prior to acquiring them, the Affiliated Pharmacies. Until February 15, 2024, the Company consolidated the PMCs and Affiliated Pharmacies under the VIE model since the Company had the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Under the VIE model, the Company presents the results of operations and the financial position of the VIEs as part of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. There was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the Affiliated Pharmacies being acquired by the Company.
Furthermore, as a direct result of the financial support the Company provided to the VIEs (e.g., loans), the interests held by holders lacked economic substance and did not provide them with the ability to participate in the residual profits or losses generated by the VIEs. Therefore, all income and expenses recognized by the VIEs were allocated to the Company’s stockholders.
The aggregate carrying value of total assets and total liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the VIEs after elimination of intercompany transactions were not material as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Total revenue included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the VIEs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $0.9 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.6 million and $25.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company maintains the ability to control the VIEs, is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs, and is obligated to absorb all expected losses of the VIEs.
7. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
The Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets and liabilities measured at fair value during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Certain of the Company’s assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As a result of a sustained decline in market capitalization based on the Company’s publicly quoted share price, lower than expected financial performance and macroeconomic conditions that existed during the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company performed an impairment assessment of goodwill acquired as part of the Lemonaid
Health acquisition. The Company utilized the income approach (discounted cash flow method) corroborated by the market approach (guideline public company method), which are Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company recorded a $198.8 million impairment charge to partially write down the value of its goodwill to its estimated fair value during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023. No nonrecurring fair value measurements for continuing operations were required during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.

9. Restructuring
In June 2023, the Company approved a reduction in force intended to restructure and align strategically its workforce with the Company’s strategy and to reduce the Company’s operating costs, primarily in the former Consumer
and Research Services segment. Subsequently in August 2023, the Company approved another reduction in force primarily intended to restructure and strategically align the former Therapeutics segment’s workforce. On August 1, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to cease operations of the Therapeutics Discovery portion of the Company’s former Therapeutics segment, effective August 9, 2024.
In November 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the November 2024 Reduction in Force, which, as previously disclosed, represented a reduction of approximately 40% of the Company’s workforce and also included the closure of substantially all operations in the Company’s Therapeutics operating segment. The November 2024 Reduction Plan is intended to restructure and strategically align the Company’s workforce and organization with the Company’s current strategy and to reduce the Company’s operating costs. The Company completed the November 2024 Reduction Plan substantially during the three months ended December 31, 2024, with certain affected employees retained through a transition period expected to end no later than the end of fiscal 2025.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $10.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, related to continuing operations within restructuring and other charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of which $8.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, were related to cash severance payments and benefits continuation, and $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, to stock-based compensation related to equity modifications in connection with the reductions in force. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to continuing operations within restructuring and other charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of which $0.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, were related to cash severance payments and benefits continuation, and nil and $0.6 million, respectively, to stock-based compensation related to equity modifications in connection with the reductions in force.

10. Leases
The Company has entered into operating leases for its corporate offices and storage spaces, with remaining contractual periods ranging from 1.0 year to 6.6 years. For the Company’s facility in Sunnyvale, California (the “Sunnyvale facility”), there is an option to extend the lease for a period of seven years. The Company is not reasonably certain that it will exercise this option and therefore it is not included in its ROU assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2024. The Company did not have any finance leases for the periods presented.
In connection with the November 2024 Reduction Plan, the Company abandoned the South San Francisco Facility in December 2024. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for details.
On September 16, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sublease 17,312 square feet of the Sunnyvale facility. The total rental commitment over the four-year term of the sublease is $3.2 million. The Company’s sublease agreement: (i) includes renewal and termination options; (ii) provides for customary escalations of lease payments in the normal course of business; (iii) grants the subtenant free rent for specific months during term; (iv) requires variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments; and (v) grants the subtenant title of furniture if it extends the lease. The sublease is classified as operating leases
whereby sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term that expires in 2028. Sublease income was $0.3 million for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. There was no sublease income recognized during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023.
For continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded operating lease costs of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and variable operating lease costs of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded operating lease costs of $6.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, and variable operating lease costs of $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the future minimum lease payments included in the measurement of the Company’s operating lease liabilities from continuing operations were as follows:

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Non-cancelable Purchase Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements containing non-cancelable purchase commitments for goods or services with various parties, which include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding to the Company. Recognition of purchase obligations occurs when products or services are delivered to the Company, generally within accounts payable, or accrued and other current liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a total of $52.2 million in outstanding non-cancelable purchase obligations with a term of 12 months or longer that have not been recognized on its balance sheet.
Legal Matters
Cyber Incident
On October 10, 2023, the Company reported that certain information was accessed from individual 23andMe.com accounts without the account users’ authorization (the “Cyber Incident”).
As a result of the Cyber Incident, multiple class action claims have been filed against the Company in federal and state courts in California, as well as in other U.S. and international jurisdictions, and the Company has received demand letters from attorneys purporting to represent customers seeking arbitration claims. The Company is also responding to inquiries from various governmental officials and agencies. The federal class action claims were coordinated for pretrial proceedings by the Multidistrict Litigation Panel, and on June 5, 2024, co-lead plaintiffs’ counsel were appointed. On July 15, 2024, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the putative class action lawsuits currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”).
The parties executed a confidential settlement term sheet on July 29, 2024, which contemplated an aggregate cash payment by the Company of $30.0 million to settle all claims brought on behalf of all persons in the United States whose personal information was impacted by the Cyber Incident. In addition, the Company agreed to document various business practice initiatives relating to cybersecurity and provide customers with the option to enroll in a privacy and monitoring
service for three years. The Company subsequently reached an agreement with the plaintiffs on all material terms, including payment of $30.0 million (the “Settlement Agreement”). On September 12, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion asking the Court for preliminary approval of the Settlement Agreement.
On December 4, 2024, the Court granted preliminary conditional approval of the Settlement Agreement under which the Company would agree to pay $30.0 million and implement certain remedial measures to resolve all claims by U.S. customers (who do not opt out) arising out of the Cyber Incident disclosed in October 2023. The Court’s order granting preliminary approval of the settlement was conditioned on the parties’ acceptance of certain modifications to the Settlement Agreement, including the exclusion from the settlement class of customers who have chosen to exercise their right to arbitrate, whether by making a demand for arbitration or by filing a formal complaint with the arbitral forum. Following the December 4, 2024 order, the parties have engaged in discussions regarding a potential settlement that would resolve all claims by U.S. customers, including those who choose to exercise arbitration rights. As of the filing date of this report, such discussions have not resulted in a revised settlement.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred an additional $8.9 million in expenses related to the Cyber Incident, which is inclusive of an additional loss contingency that the Company believes is reasonably possible. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known, and it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular interim or annual period could be materially affected by unfavorable resolutions of this matter.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $19.8 million in net expenses related to the Cyber Incident primarily consisting of $42.0 million in legal fees incurred and estimated loss contingencies, partially offset by probable insurance recoveries of $22.2 million, within general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $41.3 million of accrued expenses related to estimated loss contingencies and legal fees included in current liabilities, offset by $21.3 million of insurance recoveries included in prepaid and other current assets, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Indemnification
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, collaborators, landlords, vendors, and contractors. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the indemnified party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable. As of the date of this filing, the Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the Company believes that the fair value of these provisions is not material. The Company maintains insurance, including commercial general liability insurance and product liability insurance, to offset certain potential liabilities under these indemnification provisions. In addition, the Company indemnifies its officers, directors, and certain key employees against claims made with respect to matters that arise while they are serving in their respective capacities as such, subject to certain limitations set forth under applicable law, the Company’s Bylaws, and applicable indemnification agreements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not aware of any known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material claim related to these indemnification obligations.
12. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
The Company has authorized Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock any time at the option of the holder and is automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock upon transfer (except for certain permitted transfers). Once converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock will not be reissued.
On October 7, 2024, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-twenty, to be effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 16, 2024. On October 11, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time on October 16, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s respective Class A common stock and Class B common stock, without any change
in their respective par values per share. The Company did not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares because they held a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio were automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, as applicable, to round up to the next whole share. The impact of the Reverse Stock Split was applied retroactively for all periods presented in accordance with applicable guidance. There was no change to the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock of 1,140,000,000 and the total number of authorized shares of Class B common stock of 350,000,000.
Earn-Out Shares
On June 16, 2021, VG Acquisition Corp. (“VGAC”) and Chrome Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of VGAC (“Merger Sub”), consummated a merger with 23andMe, Inc. (the “Merger”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into 23andMe, Inc., with 23andMe, Inc. being the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Class A common stock included 190,707 shares held by VGAC founders (“Earn-Out Shares”) that are subject to a lock-up of seven years from June 16, 2021, the closing date of the Merger. The lock-up has an early release effective (i) with respect to 50% of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $250.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period, and (ii) with respect to the other 50% of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $300.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period; provided that the transfer restrictions applicable to the Earn-Out Shares will terminate on the date following the closing date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities, or other property (a “Liquidation Event”), if such Liquidation Event occurs prior to the date that the stock price thresholds referenced in (i) and (ii) are met. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not meet any earn-out thresholds. The Earn-Out Shares are issued and outstanding Class A common shares that cannot be forfeited, and as such, meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 505, Equity.
Reserve for Issuance
The Company has the following shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance, on an as-if-converted basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

At-the-Market (“ATM”) Offering
On February 6, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate up to $150.0 million under at-the-market offering program (the “ATM program”). The Company will pay Cowen a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds for the Class A common stock sold through the ATM program. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not made any sales under the ATM program. The sales agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the sale of the maximum number or amount of the shares permitted to be sold under the sales agreement and (b) the termination of the sales agreement by the parties thereto.
13. Equity Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
Incentive Equity Plans
On September 6, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 23andMe Holding Co. 2021 Incentive Equity Plan (the “2021 Plan” and, as amended and restated, the “A&R Plan”). The terms of the A&R Plan replaced the existing terms of the 2021 Plan.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, on October 16, 2024, the Company amended and restated the A&R Plan, to reflect, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4(e) and 17(a) thereof, the proportionate adjustment of the number of shares of Company’s Class A common stock authorized and available for issuance under the A&R Plan to 10,034,656 shares using the same one-for-twenty ratio used to consummate the Reverse Stock Split (the “Second A&R Plan”). Additionally, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that remained available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”) under the A&R Plan as of the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split was proportionally adjusted.
In connection with such amendment, pursuant to Section 4(e) of the A&R Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors proportionally adjusted the number of shares of Class A common stock subject to outstanding awards granted pursuant to the A&R Plan and the exercise price per share of Class A common stock of each such award to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split. The impact of the Reverse Stock Split has been applied retroactively to all disclosures.
Pursuant to the Second A&R Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued or transferred under the Second A&R Plan shall be increased on an annual basis by a number equal to (x) 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, taken together, outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (y) such lesser number of shares of Class A common stock as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the Second A&R Plan, options (including non-statutory options and ISO), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock-based awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Options have a contractual life of up to ten years. The exercise price of a stock option shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. For ISO as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s options generally vest over three to four years. Under the Second A&R Plan, stock option awards entitle the holder to receive one share of Class A common stock for every option exercised.
Time-based RSUs granted pursuant to the Second A&R Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from one to four years and are subject to the participant’s continuing service to the Company over that period. RSUs issued pursuant to the 23andMe Second Amended and Restated Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) upon the achievement of certain pre-determined annual performance metrics, as discussed below, vest immediately upon issuance. Until vested, RSUs do not have the voting and dividend participation rights of Class A common stock and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the awards are not considered issued and outstanding.
The Company issues new shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of stock options, the vesting and settlement of RSUs, and the issuance of shares purchased under the ESPP (as defined below).
In February 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a RSU conversion and deferral program for non-employee directors. The purpose of the program is to provide non-employee directors with the option to convert all or a portion of their cash compensation into a RSU award under the Second A&R Plan and the opportunity to defer settlement of all or a portion of their RSU awards. In connection with the Resignations, the Company released all prior deferred RSU awards for the two non-employee directors who elected to defer settlement of their RSU awards. As of December 31, 2024, no non-employee directors were participating in the program.
On June 9, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the AIP, pursuant to which, beginning in fiscal 2023, employees and certain service providers of 23andMe, Inc. and its affiliates were eligible to receive annual incentive bonuses in the form of cash or RSUs issued by the Company under the Second A&R Plan, based upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-established financial, operational, and/or strategic performance metrics. On June 3, 2024, the Company paid annual incentive bonuses in the form of RSUs based upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics during the one-year performance period ended March 31, 2024 and as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The number of RSUs granted was determined by dividing the dollar amount of the AIP annual incentive bonuses by the trailing average closing price of the
Company’s Class A common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the date of payment resulting in the grant of 607,222 shares underlying fully-vested RSUs on June 5, 2024.
The Company accounts for the RSUs issued under the AIP (the “AIP RSUs”) as liability awards, and adjusts the liability and corresponding expenses at the end of each quarter until the date of settlement, considering the probability that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations of $(3.4) million and $(2.0) million related to the AIP RSUs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense from discontinued operations of $(0.4) million and $(0.5) million related to the AIP RSUs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the liability of the AIP RSUs from continuing operations was $3.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, which was included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and from discontinued operations was nil and $0.7 million, respectively, which was included in current liabilities from discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Stock Option Activity
Stock option activity and activity regarding shares available for grant under the Second A&R Plan are as follows:

Vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2024 | 2,322,401 | | $ | 77.93 | | | 3.5 | | $ | — | |
The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted was $4.09 and $17.40 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total intrinsic value of vested options exercised for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial and $1.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations related to unvested stock options was $14.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. Due to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the Company did not recognize any tax expense or benefit from stock option exercises for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company estimated the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.
The weighted average Black-Scholes assumptions used to value stock options at the grant dates are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended December 31, | | Nine Months Ended December 31, |

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes the RSU activity under the equity incentive plans and related information:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Unvested RSUs | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
Balance as of March 31, 2024 | 2,203,078 | | $ | 45.86 | |
Granted | 3,738,075 | | $ | 8.45 | |
Vested | (1,909,306) | | $ | 29.07 | |

Balance as of December 31, 2024 | 2,975,491 | | $ | 18.95 | |
As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations related to outstanding unvested RSUs was $44.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
Stock Subject to Vesting
In November 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Lemonaid Health (the “Lemonaid Acquisition”), the Company granted 187,352 shares of Class A common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $43.9 million to two recipients, each of whom was a former stockholder and officer of Lemonaid Health (each, a “Former Lemonaid Officer”) and each of whom, following the closing of the Lemonaid Acquisition, joined the Company’s management team. The shares were scheduled to vest over a four-year period in quarterly installments beginning on February 1, 2022, subject to the respective recipient’s continued employment with the Company. In connection with the Lemonaid Acquisition, each of these recipients entered into a relinquishment agreement that provides that during the four-year period that commenced on November 1, 2021 (the “Protection Period”), the Company will not (i) terminate the recipient’s employment without cause, (ii) materially reduce the recipient’s base salary or the benefits to which similarly-situated executive employees of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries are entitled, other than a broad-based reduction to the same extent that applies to such similarly-situated executive employees, or (iii) relocate the recipient’s principal place of employment to a location outside of a 50-mile radius of their current principal place of employment. If any such event occurs during the Protection Period or in the event of the recipient’s death or disability, then the unvested portion(s) of these awards will immediately vest.
On June 30, 2023, the employment of one of the Former Lemonaid Officers terminated, which resulted in $22.0 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards recognized within general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. On November 1, 2023, the employment of the other Former Lemonaid Officer terminated, which resulted in $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards recognized within general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense related to these awards of $3.3 million and $28.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, within general and administrative expenses. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to these awards recognized during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was no remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On June 10, 2021, the shareholders of VGAC approved the 23andMe Holding Co. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, on October 16, 2024, the Company amended and restated the ESPP, to reflect, pursuant to the provisions of Sections III.C and X thereof, the proportionate adjustment of the number of shares of Company’s Class A common stock authorized and available for issuance under the ESPP to 580,456 shares using the same one-for-twenty ratio used to consummate the Reverse Stock Split (the “A&R ESPP”). Additionally, Section III.B of the ESPP, which provides for the automatic annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP, was revised to make proportionate adjustments to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year,
beginning on January 1, 2025, by the lesser of (i) an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the total number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding December 31st, (ii) 250,000 shares, or (iii) a lesser number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion. No other material modifications or amendments were made to the ESPP.
In connection with such amendment, pursuant to Section III.C of the ESPP, the Company’s Board of Directors also proportionally adjusted the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable per ESPP participant during any offering period and on any one purchase date during that offering period, the number of shares in effect under each outstanding purchase right, the number of shares issued and to be issued under the ESPP, and the price per share in effect under each outstanding purchase right to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split.
The A&R ESPP provides for concurrent 12-month offerings with successive six-month purchase intervals commencing on March 1 and September 1 of each year and purchase dates occurring on the last day of each such purchase interval (i.e., August 31 and February 28). The A&R ESPP contains a rollover provision whereby if the price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the first day of a new offering period is less than the price on the first day of any preceding offering period, all participants in a preceding offering period with a higher first day price will be automatically withdrawn from such preceding offering period and re-enrolled in the new offering period. The rollover feature, when triggered, will be accounted for as a modification to the preceding offering period, resulting in incremental expense to be recognized over the new offering period.
The Company estimated the fair value of the shares issued pursuant to the A&R ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the withholding period. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no shares were issued under the A&R ESPP. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 61,807 and 75,472 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, respectively, were purchased under the A&R ESPP, at an average exercise price of $5.35 and $18.70, respectively.
The per share weighted average grant date fair value of shares issued pursuant to the A&R ESPP for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2.52 and $8.78, respectively, using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(2)In connection with the November 2024 Reduction in Force, the Company approved the modification of equity awards as part of the termination of employment for effected employees. The award modifications included the acceleration of certain non-vested awards. The Company accounted for the award modifications under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and recorded $2.1 million of stock-based compensation modification expense from continuing operations related to the November 2024 Reduction in Force during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
Total stock-based compensation expense from discontinued operations was $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.7 million and $9.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
14. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The net loss attributable to common stockholders is allocated on a proportionate basis, and the resulting net loss per share is identical for Class A common stock and Class B common stock under the two-class method.
The Company’s stock options, RSUs, restricted stock awards subject to vesting, estimated RSUs to be issued under the AIP, and estimated shares to be issued under the ESPP are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was equivalent to net loss for all periods presented.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

There were no potential shares of Class B common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented.
15. Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company has established a 401(k) retirement plan that allows participating employees in the U.S. to contribute as defined by the terms of the plan and subject to the limitations under Section 401(k) of the Code. The Company matches the greater of 100% of the first 2% or 100% of the first $2,300 (subject to annual compensation and contribution limits) of employee contributions. The Company recognized matching contributions cost of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
16. Income Taxes
The Company computes the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
There was no tax provision recognized and an immaterial tax benefit was recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and an immaterial tax provision was recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023. The provision tax expense or benefit from income taxes is reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the periods. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on the remaining net deferred tax assets of the U.S. entities as it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the deferred tax assets. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to future annual limitations provided by Section 382 of the Code and similar state provisions.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. As of the date of this filing, the Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state, or other jurisdictions. All tax returns will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss or credits.
17. Disposition of Subsidiary
On August 1, 2023, the Company completed the sale of Lemonaid Health Limited, its wholly-owned, indirect U.K. subsidiary. Lemonaid Health Limited was not a significant subsidiary, and the disposition of Lemonaid Health Limited did not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results. As a result, the results of operations for Lemonaid Health Limited were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of ASC 205. During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $2.4 million of loss on the disposition of Lemonaid Health Limited and transaction-related costs within general and administrative expenses. There were no charges incurred during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
18. Related Party Transactions
As described in Note 5, “Collaborations,” in July 2018, the Company and GSK entered into the original GSK Agreement, and there were transactions with GSK during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. At the time the original GSK Agreement was entered into, GSK also purchased shares of Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock of 23andMe, Inc. These shares were converted into a like number of shares of 23andMe, Inc. Class B common stock immediately prior to the Merger and were exchanged pursuant to the share conversion ratio provided for in the Merger Agreement into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. GSK had a 21.9% and 19.9% voting interest in the Company as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
The Anne Wojcicki Foundation, which subscribed for 125,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the PIPE investment in connection with the Merger, is affiliated with the Company’s CEO and therefore a related party.
In January 2024, the Company entered into a research services agreement (the “TWF Agreement”) and related statement of work (the “initial SOW”) with the Troper Wojcicki Foundation (“TWF”) with the goal of expanding scientific knowledge in the field of lung cancer using the Company’s phenotype and genotype data to build large scale research cohorts. At the time, Susan Wojcicki was a director and officer of TWF, and a sibling of the Company’s CEO, Anne Wojcicki, and therefore the Company determined that TWF is a related party. The TWF Agreement has a term of five years through December 21, 2028. The fees under the initial SOW are $5.4 million, payable in installments over the term of the TWF Agreement, with certain payments being subject to the achievement of specified milestones. The Company recognized revenue from the TWF Agreement of $0.1 million and nil during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.6 million and nil during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had deferred revenue of $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, associated with the TWF Agreement.
