NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our objectives for future operations, and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project,” “endeavor,” “expect,” “plans to,” “if,” “future,” “likely,” “potentially,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time, such as the COVID-19 global pandemic. Many of the risks and uncertainties are elevated by, and may or will continue to be elevated by, the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Company and Background

Chegg, Inc. (Chegg, the Company, we, us, or our), headquartered in Santa Clara, California, was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in July 2005. Millions of people all around the world Learn with Chegg. Our mission is to improve learning and learning outcomes by putting students first. We support life-long learners starting with their academic journey and extending into their careers. The Chegg platform provides products and services to support learners to help them better understand their academic course materials, and also provides personal and professional development skills training, to help them achieve their learning goals.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Chegg, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2022, our results of operations, results of comprehensive income (loss), and stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Our results of operations, results of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We have a single operating and reportable segment and operating unit structure. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed with the SEC.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current business conditions, and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes in our use of estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the use of estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 8 “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Impairment of Lease Related Assets

Right of use (ROU) assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we announced the closure of our San Francisco office and determined that the carrying amount of the ROU asset was not recoverable. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.4 million, consisting of a $2.0 million impairment of a ROU asset and $1.4 million write-off of leasehold improvements, included in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Our intent and ability to sublease the office as well as the local market conditions were factored in when measuring the amount of impairment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that would have an impact on our financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations-Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022 and applied it to our acquisition of Busuu. The most significant impacts were an increase in contract liabilities, contained within deferred revenue, and goodwill.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 aims to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance must be applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 under the prospective method of adoption and there was no impact to our results of operations as we did not modify or exchange any freestanding equity-classified written call options.

11
Note 2. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of our revenues are recognized over time as services are performed, with certain revenues being recognized at a point in time.

The following tables set forth our total net revenues for the periods shown disaggregated for our Chegg Services and Required Materials product lines (in thousands, except percentages):
 Three Months Ended
September 30,		Change
 20222021$%
Chegg Services$159,264 $146,790 $12,474 8 %

Required Materials28,552 86,144 (57,592)(67)
Total net revenues$561,704 $568,798 $(7,094)(1)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $35.2 million and $33.8 million, respectively, of revenues that were included in our deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective reporting period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we recognized $31.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively, of revenues that were included in our deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective reporting period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized no operating lease income and $5.1 million of operating lease income, respectively, from print textbook rentals that we owned. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $6.2 million and $26.9 million, respectively, of operating lease income from print textbook rentals that we owned. The decreases in operating lease income are primarily due to the transition of our Required Materials product line. For further information, refer to Note 7, “Required Materials Transition.”

Contract Balances

The following table presents our accounts receivable, net, contract assets and deferred revenue balances (in thousands, except percentages):
 Change
 September 30,
2022		December 31, 2021$%
Accounts receivable, net$22,187 $17,850 $4,337 24 %
Contract assets12,710 14,231 (1,521)(11)
Deferred revenue60,475 35,143 25,332 72 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 our accounts receivable, net balance increased by $4.3 million, or 24%, primarily due to timing of billings and seasonality of our business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our contract assets balance decreased by $1.5 million, or 11%, primarily due to our Thinkful service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our deferred revenue balance increased by $25.3 million, or 72%, primarily due to acquired deferred revenue in conjunction with our acquisition of Busuu, increased bookings, and seasonality of our business.
