NYSE: NRDY

Our Two-Sided Network

Nerdy connects Learners of all ages with the Experts they need to advance and develop in-demand skills, pass critical exams and certifications, excel academically, and live up to their potential. Nerdy allows people to learn online in thousands of subjects, when they want, from the convenience of home, school, and any other location at the click of a button.

Learners

We serve a diverse population of audiences across the entire learning life cycle from pre-kindergarten (“pre-k”) all the way through professional. Learners use our platform for a broad set of purposes:

•to proactively improve their academic performance;

•to remediate academic underperformance;

•for enrichment to learn about a subject they are passionate about or to advance a foundational skill they want to develop;

•to learn new professional and technical skills;

•to obtain professional and technical designations and certifications; and

•to maximize their chances of admission into their school or program of choice, spanning private schools, to undergraduate programs, to graduate school, and beyond.

Our value proposition for Learners

•Trust: We are relentlessly focused on delighting our Learners and building a powerful brand founded on the principle of trust. It is our objective that Learners believe that Nerdy is a trusted online learning destination.

•Quality Experience: Learners choose our platform because of the superior learning experience we provide and the intuitive and purpose-built technology we offer to interact with the Experts. Our AI-powered Learner-Expert matching engine intelligently matches Learners with Experts who best fit their specific needs in order to deliver effective live learning. Additionally, Learners benefit from our modern, AI-enabled technology and learning tools, including adaptive testing capabilities, that support a collaborative interaction and optimize the learning experience.

•Convenience: Our platform makes learning engaging and accessible. Learners can access thousands of Experts on our platform using numerous devices, providing them with the ability to learn across our various learning formats anytime and from anywhere, including at pre-scheduled times and on-demand.

•Long-Term, Consistent Learning: We have developed products that have created an opportunity to develop longer and more all-encompassing relationships that span academic calendar years, subjects, and learning formats.

•Purpose-Built Technology: Our platform was designed specifically for learning with interactive technology tools such as two-way video, collaborative work-spaces, recording and replay capabilities, and adaptive diagnostic testing, as well as integrated personalization features to facilitate instruction and provide a more engaging and enjoyable experience to Learners.

•Expansive Range of Subjects: We are focused on providing breadth and depth in our subject catalog. The thousands of subjects we currently offer our Learners serve their needs across the entire learning lifecycle.

•Learning Across Multiple Formats: Our subscription offerings combine all of our products into a singular solution with all-inclusive pricing, making it easy and affordable for Learners to engage in multiple learning formats.

•Cost Effective: We believe we provide the best value for our Learners by offering a cost-effective and superior learning experience in comparison to traditional offline learning models. The flexibility of access provided by our platform along with the expansive subject catalog and multi-format learning experience at varying price points alleviates the inefficiencies of legacy models.

Experts

Our platform attracts highly qualified and experienced Experts who are passionate about helping people learn and interested in earning supplemental income in a flexible and convenient manner. They come from varied backgrounds, including teachers, professors, professionals, graduate and college students, retirees, and self-employed individuals. Our rigorous multi-step interview and vetting process leverages technology, including AI and process automation, and conditional human review for candidate evaluation. This confluence of technology, process automation, and AI allows us to source high quality Experts at scale with minimal human labor, making the process highly scalable and efficient. We have strong and growing engagement in the Expert network, and have the ability to scale with demand.

Our value proposition for Experts

•Large Learner Population, Strong Income Potential, More Convenient: Our platform empowers Experts with the convenience of immediate access to a large audience of Learners, providing the opportunity for meaningful supplementary earnings without the required effort to find new customers and without geographical constraints.

•Consistent Opportunities: Consumer demand trends toward recurring, ‘always on’ relationships has also impacted how Experts interact with our platform. As a result of our subscription-based business, Experts have the ability to develop deeper relationships that allow for more consistent revenue-generating opportunities.

•Flexibility: As the modern workforce mindset shifts toward flexibility and choice, our platform empowers Experts to work where, when, and how they want, giving them convenience and control over their work schedule.

•Purpose-Built Technology: Our platform empowers Experts with interactive technology features such as two-way video, collaborative work-spaces, recording and replay capabilities, and adaptive diagnostic testing, as well as integrated, AI-enabled personalization features to make delivering online instruction easy.

•Frictionless Payment Processing: We ensure the Experts are paid on-time and securely with frequent payments, alleviating administrative burden and hassle and allowing them to focus on helping Learners learn.

Industry Background and Key Trends

There are several favorable trends in the learning market that make our platform and proposition appealing on both sides of the network and we believe that our business will disproportionately win as these category dynamics shift.

•Secular Digitization of Learning and the Impact of AI: We believe the learning industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation. Technology, including AI, has lowered the barriers for individuals to access learning opportunities and connect with Experts on a global scale and is removing the inefficiencies of in-person interactions, increasing affordability, extending geographic access, and providing flexibility and convenience through on-demand online models. We leverage both internally developed and externally licensed capabilities related to AI and machine learning, which allows large data sets to be leveraged and understood in a way that can generate substantial insights that drive the personalization of the learning experience. We believe increased AI-enabled connectivity between Learners, Experts, and other key stakeholders is substantially improving the user experience and enabling personalized learning at scale.

•Consumerization of Learning: The transition in parents’ and modern Learners’ preferences towards finding, curating, and managing their own learning is reshaping the learning markets and contributing to the digitization of learning. As a result of this shift in consumer behavior, learning providers have emerged that focus on direct-to-consumer models making learning resources, including live learning, available broadly and on-demand. By providing numerous learning

Table of Contents

formats to help Learners access top Experts across multiple formats, our platform empowers both Learners and Experts to have more agency, optimize interactions, and enhance their learning and instructing experience.

•Demand for Long-Term, Consistent Learning: Learners are expressing interest in supplemental learning solutions that support a more consistent use pattern over extended periods of time and a default to recurring, ‘always on’ relationships.

•Learning Loss and Chronic Absenteeism: The National Center for Education Statistics (“NCES”) publishes what is known as the “Nation's Report Card”, and results have shown that students have fallen behind in reading and math. Meanwhile, “chronic absenteeism”, which is defined as the percentage of students absent more than 10% of school days, remains above pre-pandemic figures. These problems, combined with the growing broad bipartisan recognition that high-dosage tutoring is a highly effective way to address the issue, is leading to an acceleration in market activity, with multiple states focused on rolling out state-funded, statewide tutoring programs.

•Changing Workforce Dynamics: The advent of technology has dramatically changed how people view work, and platforms that enable interactions directly between providers and consumers are disrupting traditional, antiquated models. The shifting mindset of today’s workforce towards seeking flexibility, freedom, and personal fulfillment has enabled transformation of several categories in recent years. We believe these dynamics will also fundamentally change the way people learn. We have a significant opportunity to leverage technology to connect highly qualified Experts directly to Learners of all ages and to enable high quality live learning at scale.

•Shift to Lifelong and Skills-Based Learning: Our economy has evolved to a knowledge-based economy, with employers competing for workers with the most job-appropriate and up-to-date skill sets. Additionally, technological advancements and their resulting transformational changes across industries are impacting skill requirements in today’s workplace. As a result, today’s workforce needs to constantly learn new concepts and skills to keep pace with fast-changing job requirements without the heavy penalty of having to temporarily exit the workforce. Our learning platform is ideally positioned to provide today’s professionals the flexibility to continue their learning journey at their convenience while acquiring the requisite skills across a vast range of subjects and multiple learning modalities, and also provide their employers with a return on their investment.

Our Solution - A Comprehensive Online Learning Destination

We built Nerdy and our flagship business, Varsity Tutors, to be a leading, multi-format, online learning destination. Our platform-oriented approach to growth allows us to leverage the shared capabilities we have developed - that serve as building blocks that can be modified for different markets and audiences - and allows us to efficiently enter new markets and modify our product offerings to the unique aspects of each group of Learners. In doing so, we’re able to build solutions that leverage the latest AI-enabled technologies, improve quality, decrease cost, improve convenience, and meet the needs of Learners by enabling access to high quality live learning, and other powerful learning resources.

Our Next-Generation Live Tutoring and Intervention Platform

We believe AI is allowing us to rapidly develop transformative experiences involving the real-time generation of educational content with near zero marginal costs and improving our ability to deliver live human interaction and personalized learning at scale. With the use of generative AI for content creation, we have been able to rapidly expand the content depth of our learning resources in our most in-demand subjects. Led by our founder and CEO, we recently rethought every aspect of how we build products and software. We’ve rebuilt key aspects of our core infrastructure from scratch using AI-assisted software development, preserving essential business logic and data while migrating to modern, decoupled systems. We now have nearly 100% of our traffic on new codebases written with AI, and in the near future, we anticipate our back-end legacy systems will be fully decoupled, allowing us to integrate AI more deeply across the platform and launch new interactive, context-aware experiences in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the effort.

This reinvention has delivered tangible results to date. Our Live Learning Platform 2.0 combines the limitless powers of AI with expert human instruction to efficiently drive results. It is a leap forward that modernizes the learning experience, and it features a collaborative workspace with 2-way video, subject-specific tools, file uploads, and more. We also rolled out brand new student and tutor experiences, with launches of entirely new and unified experiences that bring all products together into a cohesive interface. Our integrated Practice Hub and 250+ subjects’ worth of content and tools are now integrated into both the Learner experience and our Live Learning Platform 2.0. This enables content and AI tools to enhance the entire customer journey and fully leverage the personalization and enhancements that AI makes possible. Other AI-driven wins included better site conversion on our new homepage and a significant drop in tutor replacement rate via new AI vetting of tutors with

interactive conversational AI interviews that have automated our tutor applicant review, boosting new-tutor quality and the quality of matches which we believe will lead to meaningful retention improvements.

Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in improving our capabilities and technology architecture, as well as in developing new solutions that can be leveraged across new markets and audiences. Importantly, the investments we make to support a learning solution for one audience can be scaled to apply to new audiences, resulting in returns that are multiples of our initial investment.

Learning Memberships

Learning Memberships are an ‘all access’, subscription offering that aims to support Learners across academic calendar years, subjects, and learning formats. Learning Memberships include access to one-on-one instruction, live and recorded classes, self-study tools, college & career readiness resources, and adaptive assessments. Learning Memberships are for Learners of all ages, ranging from pre-k to college and professional Learners, and can be used in any subject, at any time. Memberships are helping transform our relationship with customers into one that is recurring in nature and spans subjects and learning formats. The model encourages ongoing consistent learning over longer periods of time, which we believe can lead to significant improvements in customer engagement and lifetime value.

We continue to focus on enhancing the Learning Membership experience by modernizing and unifying the new student user experience across the entire platform, streamlining the onboarding experience to drive higher levels of engagement earlier in the customer learning journey, making it easier for customers to manage their tutoring relationships, and improving discoverability of the breadth of our learning tools. From many years of experience, we believe that when customers engage more deeply with our products, including across multiple learning formats, multiple subjects, or multiple students per household, it is highly predictive of stronger long-term retention and higher lifetime value of those customers. Upgrades to the digital experience for Learners are in service of that ultimate outcome and are aimed at increasing engagement across each of those vectors.

Live+AI™

Our Live+AI™ Platform offers a customizable set of solutions allowing learning to be ‘always on’ and available for Learners. By offering a comprehensive suite of learning solutions, Institutions can add services and product offerings over time as needs evolve, allowing Nerdy to be a long-term partner to Institutions as they seek recurring and durable relationships.

Our Live+AI™ offering leverages the technology infrastructure and product capabilities originally developed for our Consumer business, providing a single, unified platform that allows Institutions to roster entire student bases and deploy solutions for different segments of students.

We have built access and subscription-based products for our Institutional business that are oriented toward providing district-wide solutions that can be deployed across entire student and teacher populations, significantly widening the impact we can have with our school district partners.

As part of our partnerships with Institutions, we provide access to the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform. Our comprehensive, unified platform access includes 24/7 chat-based tutoring, essay review & coaching, live academic and enrichment classes, SAT and ACT test prep classes, self-study tools, and adaptive assessments. Student engagement with our platform has demonstrated the relevance of our offering and the growing need for student support beyond the traditional classroom. The breadth of the resources included in the platform allows us to serve a much broader set of needs for our Institutional partners and greatly expands the number of students we can impact within school districts.

Our high-dosage tutoring products provide Varsity Tutors for Schools with a comprehensive product portfolio capable of meeting the tutoring needs of school districts by providing flexible implementation models that meet the common use cases districts encounter, allowing them to better serve students and their community. We believe the simplification and evolution of our product suite positions us to attract new Institutional customers to the offering while also building deeper and larger relationships with existing ones.

Our Growth Strategy

We have multiple growth vectors that we believe will enable us to further scale our platform by attracting and retaining more Learners and Experts through deeper and more meaningful relationships.

As a leading provider of live, online learning and one of the largest platforms for live, online learning in the U.S., we attract and help Learners across multiple audience segments and subjects. We are continually investing in broadening our existing catalog of subjects for audiences across the learning lifecycle, including live instruction solutions, as well as proprietary content used for adaptive assessments and self-study. We consistently invest in improving our capabilities, technology architecture, and developing new solutions that can be leveraged across new markets and audiences. We believe that

Table of Contents

as our range of subjects offered and audiences served through the platform grows across learning categories, our market presence and brand recognition will expand, driving more Learners and Experts to our platform.

Direct-to-Consumer Audience

Our comprehensive learning destination provides learning experiences across numerous subjects and multiple formats. We are focused on driving consumer awareness, further penetrating our core audiences, and continuing to improve the product and customer experience in order to further expand our appeal among our direct-to-consumer audience. As shown through our development of Learning Memberships, we are constantly exploring new methods of learning that will allow us to broaden our appeal to more Learners. We continue to evolve our services and products toward ‘always on’ recurring relationships with Learners that better serve our multiple direct-to-consumer audiences.

Institutional Audience

With recent advancements in technology, transforming the way people learn has never been more possible. We believe school administrators and educators are rethinking how they can deliver the best outcomes for students, looking for new solutions beyond the traditional approach, which historically solved learning demands primarily with internal and in-person resources. Educators and students now have the opportunity to embrace not only the wealth of digital content options available, but also the increasingly flexible and personalized learning experiences that drive student outcomes. Our high-dosage tutoring and Live+AI™ offerings leverage the technology infrastructure and product capabilities originally developed for our Consumer business, providing a single, unified platform that allows Institutions to roster entire student bases and deploy solutions for different segments of students. The offerings can be deployed across large populations in a scalable manner to meet the needs of specific populations. With the strategic investments we are making to adapt our platform for Institutions and school districts, we believe we are well-positioned to be the learning solution of choice. Our unique and scalable platform leverages millions of data points to deliver live, personalized learning, offering administrators and school officials a critical solution as they lead the next generation of Learners.

Product Innovation and Adaptation Supporting Changing Needs of our Audiences

We build new products and technology capabilities that we believe will enable us to better meet Learner and Expert needs in the future, support innovation, and help drive continued growth while further strengthening our competitive moat. As we gain further scale, our ability to leverage data to infuse more personalization throughout the experience compounds. This leads to improved retention, monetization, and organically driven growth of new Learners and Experts using the platform. It also allows us to more effectively enter new markets and serve new audiences. We continue to evolve and enhance our product experience to build relevance and find solutions to unmet needs across all of our audiences, which we expect will open up new avenues for growth and lifetime value expansion, and otherwise accelerate our product roadmap.

Seasonality

For information about the seasonality of our business, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of this report.

Competition

Although we have built a scaled and differentiated platform for live learning, we compete with a variety of competitors both online and offline. Within this market, there exist thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of individuals that provide supplemental instruction and learning services. These span academics, test preparation, professional training and skills, adult learning, enrichment, and other categories. We believe that offline solutions are inferior to the online solution we have developed. Specifically, we believe that our platform is more efficient, convenient, effective, and affordable than most offline solutions. We believe this value proposition is a big factor in driving consumer adoption of online solutions like ours.

While we believe we are one of the few companies that offers a comprehensive destination for live learning online, we do compete with other direct-to-consumer and institutional solutions, including those that are developing their own AI products and technologies, as well as other companies whose broad AI offerings may nonetheless significantly impact education and learning. Consumers have a variety of choices in terms of competitive options, and some of these competitors are well capitalized. We believe that consumer awareness is one of the primary barriers to the adoption of our online solution. While we have scaled to millions of users with access to our platform, many Learners and Institutions in the U.S. are not aware of the online solutions we offer. We will continue to drive consumer awareness of the value and availability of our platform.

The offline market for live learning is large and fragmented. We compete for time and attention with many small and local businesses, small proprietorships, and larger national companies, including franchises. While we believe our online technology-driven solution offers significant benefits when compared to these offline options, we compete with them to attract Learners, Institutions, and Experts to our platform.

Human Capital

We are a remote-first company, which means that working remotely is the primary option for most of our employees. Much like online learning affords Learners the ability to find the best Experts for their needs irrespective of location, we believe a remote-first orientation enables us to access a significantly larger talent pool from which to hire, which can serve as a long-term competitive advantage. As of February 12, 2026, we had approximately five hundred full and part-time employees, none of whom are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, we have agreements with approximately two hundred globally-sourced, independent contractors, who are primarily used in customer support, tutor operations, and engineering roles.

Talent Acquisition, Development, Engagement, and Retention

We believe that our employees are our greatest asset and place a premium on the importance of their retention, growth, and development. We offer competitive compensation, including salary and equity, and benefits packages to meet the needs of employees where we operate. All employees are offered training and development opportunities, including free classes and tutoring on our Live Learning Platform (for which they provide feedback on their experience with the platform, which helps us improve the platform).

Regulatory and Administrative Investigations, Audits, and Inquiries

We have in the past been, are currently, and may in the future be the subject of regulatory and administrative investigations, audits, and inquiries conducted by governmental agencies concerning the classification and compensation of Experts, data security, tax issues, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, business practices, and other matters. Results of investigations, audits, inquiries, and related governmental action are inherently unpredictable and, as such, there is always the risk of an investigation, audit, or inquiry having a material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, particularly in the event that an investigation, audit, or inquiry results in a lawsuit or unfavorable regulatory enforcement or other action. Regardless of the outcome, these matters can have an adverse impact on us in light of the costs associated with cooperating with, or defending against, such matters, reputational risks, and the diversion of management resources and other factors. For additional information regarding the impact of regulatory and administrative investigations, audits, and inquiries on our business and financial results, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Government Regulation

There are a variety of regulations that apply to how we operate our business, including, for example, regulations related to marketing efforts (such as the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”), Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) guidelines related to communications with consumers, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), among others); regulations related to data privacy of consumers (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the Student Online Personal Protection Act (“SOPPA”) among others) and how we process such information (such as the CCPA and other similar legislation that is or may be enacted (including the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act of 2020 (“CPRA”)), as well as data security and data breaches; regulations related to background checks as regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and similar state laws and new hire reporting (for employees and independent contractors depending on the state); and other federal, state, local, and foreign laws of general applicability to employers, direct-to-consumer companies, and companies in general (these laws, regulations, and standards govern issues such as worker classification, labor and employment, anti-discrimination, payments, whistleblowing and worker confidentiality obligations, personal injury, text messaging, subscription services, intellectual property, consumer protection and warnings, marketing, taxation, privacy, data security, competition, unionizing and collective action, arbitration agreements and class action waiver provisions, terms of service, mobile application and website accessibility, money transmittal, and background checks).

There have been statutory changes and resulting ballot initiatives regarding independent contractor status that demonstrate certain sentiments among certain legislatures and the public (both favorable and unfavorable). There are also ongoing proposals as it relates to the classification of independent contractors in various states and cities, and there is potential for federal legislation regarding test(s) to determine whether independent contractors are properly classified by their putative employers. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislative or judicial changes could or would be adopted or implemented, and there are certain proposals that, if adopted, could harm our business through a decrease in the number of Experts available through our platform or through a change to our unit level economics (in the event Experts are deemed to be employees). We may also run the risk of retroactive applications of new laws to our business model that could result in liability or losses. The Department of Labor published a final rule on independent contractor classification on January 10, 2024. The new rule changed the legal test used for classification of independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act. We currently do not expect this rule making will impact the classification of our Experts as independent contractors.

We are also subject to data privacy and data security laws related to the personal information we collect from Learners and Experts. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted in additional jurisdictions, and certain

9

Table of Contents

proposals, if adopted, could harm our business through a decrease in consumer registrations and revenue, or through a change in marketing strategies; however, a federal data privacy and security standard, which is also a possibility, may provide substantial clarity and benefits for businesses that collect and maintain such data.

These regulations are often complex and subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may change or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state, and local administrative agencies.

As stated above, we remain subject to a variety of laws and regulations. We monitor changes to applicable regulations and design our policies and practices to comply with the existing interpretations or applications of such applicable state and federal regulations. There is also a possibility of retroactive application of new laws to the business.

For additional information regarding the impact of government regulation on our business and financial results, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

Intellectual Property

We believe that our intellectual property rights are valuable and important to the business. We rely on trademarks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and employee non-disclosure and invention assignment agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Though we rely in part upon these legal and contractual protections, we believe that factors such as the skills and ingenuity of our employees and the functionality and frequent enhancements to the platform are larger contributors to our success in the marketplace.

We have an ongoing trademark and service mark registration program pursuant to which we register our brand names and product names, taglines, and logos in the U.S. and other countries to the extent it is determined to be appropriate and cost-effective. We have several registered and pending trademarks in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, we have common law rights in some trademarks in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as many registered copyrights in the U.S. We also have numerous registered domain names for websites that are used in the business, such as www.nerdy.com, the businesses of the subsidiary entities, such as www.varsitytutors.com, and other businesses and their respective variations.

We continue to evaluate and act upon additional intellectual property protections to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective to do so. Despite efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report.

Available Information

We make available, free of charge, through our website (www.nerdy.com) reports we file with, or furnish to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our annual reports on Forms 10-K, quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q, current reports on Forms 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site containing these reports, proxy, and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. All of these documents also are available to stockholders at no charge upon request sent to our corporate secretary (8001 Forsyth Blvd., Suite 1050, St. Louis, Missouri 63105, Telephone: 314-412-1227).
