Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

(unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Mondee Holdings , Inc., is a Delaware corporation. We refer to Mondee Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively as “Mondee,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” and "New Mondee" in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Mondee is a rapid-growth, travel technology company and marketplace with a portfolio of globally recognized brands in the leisure and corporate travel sectors. Mondee provides state-of-the art technologies, operating systems and services that modernize travel market transactions to better serve travelers seeking enhanced life-style choices directly or through travel affiliates. These technology- led platforms, combined with Mondee’s distribution network, access to global travel inventory and its extensive, negotiated travel content, create a modern travel marketplace. The Company believes this modern travel marketplace provides enhanced options to the increasingly discerning traveler, on efficient consumer- friendly distribution platforms that support its travel supplier partners in utilizing highly perishable travel inventory. In addition to the rapid development of a modern travel marketplace, Mondee is increasingly focused on expanding its marketplace to the gig economy segment of the travel market. The Company believes gig workers are seeking more flexible, diverse content travel services and that its platform is well suited to serve them. The Company also offers a new subscription incentive-based behavioral change platform that is designed to be user-friendly to make booking business trips rewarding for both the traveler and the corporation.

Reverse recapitalization

On July 18, 2022 ( the "Closing Date"), we consummated the business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated December 20, 2021, by and among ITHAX Acquisition Corp. ("ITHAX"), Ithax Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of ITHAX (“First Merger Sub”), Ithax Merger Sub II, LLC a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of ITHAX (“Second Merger Sub”) and Mondee Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Mondee”).

On the Closing Date, following the domestication, First Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Mondee, with Legacy Mondee surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger,” and the time at which the First Merger became effective, the “First Effective Time”), and immediately following the First Merger, Legacy Mondee merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger,” together with the First Merger, the “Mergers,” and the time that the Second Merger became effective being referred to as the “Second Effective Time”).

On the Closing Date, the registrant changed its name from ITHAX Acquisition Corp. to Mondee Holdings, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, rather than a business combination, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. Accordingly, Legacy Mondee was deemed the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and ITHAX was treated as the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Under this method of accounting, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Mondee issuing stock for the net assets of ITHAX, accompanied by a recapitalization.

2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company identified certain misstatements attributable to understatement of reported net revenues and reported sales & marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Such misstatements originated with respect to the Company’s arrangements with travel agents and recording travel agent commissions within revenues and correspondingly within sales and marketing expense. Additionally, the Company identified a classification error for the fees charged by a credit card processing Company, that too resulted in a misstatement of reported net revenues and sales and marketing expense. There was no impact to net loss per share.

The following table summarizes the effect of the revision on the affected financial statement line items within the previously reported unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other than policies noted below, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the useful lives of property and equipment, revenue recognition, the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, the valuation of financial instruments, including the fair value of share-based awards, warrant liabilities, earn-outs issued in connection with the business combination, acquisition purchase price allocations, the valuation of intangible and other long-lived assets, income taxes, impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles, capitalization of software development costs, and other contingencies, as well as allowances for doubtful accounts and customer chargebacks. We make estimates of expected credit losses for our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history continually updated for new collections data, the credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision for estimated credit losses is recorded in operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign currency exchange derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into foreign currency exchange derivative financial instruments to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The Company uses foreign currency forwards contracts with maturities of up to four months to hedge a portion of anticipated exposures. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in the fair value are recorded in Other Income (Expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the settlement of the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value within Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are generated by providing online travel reservation services, which principally allows travelers to book travel reservations with travel suppliers through our technology solutions. These services are primarily related to reservation of airline tickets. It also includes, to a lesser extent, services related to reservation of hotel accommodation, rental car, travel insurance, travel packages and other travel products and services. While we generally refer to a consumer that books travel reservation services on our technology solutions as our customer, for accounting purposes; our customers are the travel suppliers. Our contracts with travel suppliers give them the ability to market their reservation availability without transferring responsibility to deliver the travel service to us. Therefore, we are an agent in a transaction and our

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

revenues are presented on a net basis (that is, the amount billed to a traveler less the amount paid to a travel supplier) in the consolidated statements of operations. Our revenue is earned through service fees, margins and commissions.

We earn incentives from airline companies which are recognized based on the achievement of targets set by contract, that mainly relate to the amount of airline ticket bookings that have been flown, and consequently are not subject to cancellation. We also receive incentives from our Global Distribution System (“GDS”) service providers based on the volume of segment bookings mediated by us through the GDS systems. In addition to the above travel-related revenue, we also generate revenue from incentives received from credit card companies for ancillary services based on the volume of transaction amount processed by us.

Revenue from service fee, margin and commission on sale of airline tickets is recognized when the traveler books the airline ticket as the performance obligation is satisfied by us on issuance of an airline ticket to the traveler. Revenue is recorded net of cancellation, refunds and chargebacks. In the event of cancellation of airline tickets, revenue recognized in respect of commissions and margins earned by us on such tickets is reversed and is netted off from the revenue earned during the fiscal period at the time the cancellation is made by the customers.

Revenue from service fee margin and commissions on hotel reservation, and other travel products and services is recognized on the date of successful booking. Revenue is recorded net of cancellation, refunds and chargebacks. Allowance for cancellations at the time of booking on this revenue based on historical experience is insignificant.

Packages assembled through the packaging functionality on our websites generally include a hotel component and some combination of an air, car or destination services component. The individual package components are recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policies.

Revenue relating to contracts with travel suppliers which include incentive payments from airline companies and GDS are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. This revenue is recognized net of cancellations, refunds and shortfall penalty fees, as applicable, at a time when performance targets are achieved.

When travel bookings are made, there is a risk of customer chargebacks including those related to fraud. We record estimates for chargebacks of our fees or margin or commission earned upon travel bookings as variable consideration. We record estimates for losses related to chargebacks of the travel bookings cost as an operating expense classified within sales and marketing expense. Reserves are recorded based on our assessment of various factors, including the amounts of actual chargeback activity during the current year.

In Brazil, the Company partner with financing companies to allow travelers the possibility of purchasing the product of their choice through financing plans established, offered and administrated by such financing companies. Participating financing companies bear full risk of fraud, delinquency, or default by travelers. When travelers elect to finance their purchase, we receive payments from financing companies as installments become due regardless of when traveler actually makes the scheduled payments. In most cases, we receive payment before travel occurs or during travel and the period between completion of booking and reception of scheduled payments is typically one year or less. The Company uses the practical expedient and does not recognize a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is less than a year. The Company recognizes revenue upfront and will offer installment plans to travelers that are less than a year.

The Company has the option to receive up front payments or receive installments as they become due which are recorded within interest expense, as they are considered factoring fees, and sales and marketing, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 the Company incurred had factoring fees of $378 which represents less than (5.0)% of the total other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our ‘Rocketrip’ platform offers a corporate travel cost savings solution through its technology platform. We generate subscription and set-up revenue from customers who are provided access to our platform as software-as-a-service. Revenue is recognized over the term of the contract.

‘TripPlanet’ is an end-to-end business travel platform for small-to-medium sized enterprises, membership organizations, associations, educational institutions, and NGOs. The platform combines the Company's global content hub, marketplace, and conversational commerce engine to provide organizations discounted rates for airfare, hotels, and cars using our private platform. Individuals within these organizations can also utilize the platform for leisure travel. The platform is set up as a subscription base service where revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Revenue from

commission and margin on the travel bookings are recognized when the traveler completes the reservation as our performance obligation is satisfied.

‘Unpub’ provides consumer groups access to a subscription based private membership travel platform where they can purchase flights, reserve hotel rooms and rental cars, and receive member benefits. Revenue related to the subscription platform is recorded over the contract period. Revenue from commission and margin on the travel bookings are recognized when the traveler completes the reservation as our performance obligation is satisfied.

Certain risks and concentrations

Our business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on relationships with travel suppliers, primarily airlines, dependence on third-party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and payment related fraud. We also rely on global distribution system partners and third-party service providers for certain fulfillment services.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company's total revenue or total accounts receivable and contract assets. As of March 31, 2023, there were two financing companies that accounted for 41% and 16% of the total accounts receivable balance at period end. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), based in Santa Clara, California, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as the receiver. At the time of closing, the Company had a total cash balance of $250 held in the deposit accounts at SVB, all of which was insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, on March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Board, and FDIC released a joint statement announcing that the FDIC will complete its resolution of SVB in a manner that fully protects all depositors at SVB and that depositors will have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023, thus enabling the Company to access all of its $250 held in the deposit.The Company believes that the remaining financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound, and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company has not experienced any losses due to institutional failure or bankruptcy. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company’s accounts receivable comprises of amounts due from affiliates, airline companies, global distribution system companies and financing companies which are well established institutions that the Company believes to be of high quality. The Company reviews accounts receivable balances to estimate the expected credit loss and record it within the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU No. 2016-13. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 introduce an approach based on expected losses to estimated credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modify the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023 with no material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued new guidance related to recognizing and measuring contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The new guidance will require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination as compared to current GAAP where an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023 and applied Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities of business combinations executed beginning January 1, 2023 and onwards.

Change in financial statement presentation

In connection with the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company changed the presentation of “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company changed the presentation by

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

combining “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” into “Sales and Marketing Expense”. The change is a result of an increased overlap between the nature and purpose of expenses that fall within these groups. This change in presentation has been applied retrospectively and does not change any previously reported subtotals or totals on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Public and Private Placement Warrants

On February 1, 2021, ITHAX consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,150,000 units (the “Units”), including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit included one share of Class A ordinary share and one half of one warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, ITHAX consummated the sale of 675,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”), including the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. ITHAX Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased 465,000 Private Placement units and Cantor purchased 210,000 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one half of one warrant (“Private Warrants”). Upon closing of the Business Combination, the Company acquired 12,075,000 Public Warrants and 337,500 Private Placement Warrants (together the "Warrants").

On October 17, 2022, the Company closed a tender offer and tendered 10,741,390 Public Warrants. The gross cash paid was approximately $7,481 including incremental direct costs of $486 to acquire the warrants. The Company recorded the payment as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders' Deficit. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no Public Warrants outstanding.

The Private Warrants were designated as a liability when acquired upon the closing of the Business Combination on July 18, 2022, and continue to be classified as a liability as of March 31, 2023. The Private Warrants are considered liability classified instruments because their settlement amount differs depending on the identity of the holder, which precludes the warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s equity.

The Private Warrants are not redeemable by the Company as long as they are held by a Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the following basis:

The Company may redeem the Private Warrants when the last reported sales price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) exceeds $18.00.

If the Reference Value exceeds $18.00, Private Warrants are redeemable at $0.01 per warrant, in whole and upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice. The Company’s board of directors (the "Board") may also elect to require all warrant holders to exercise the Private Warrants on a cashless basis if the Reference Value exceeds $18.00. The number of shares to be issued for the cashless exercise would be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the fair market value over the warrant price by (y) the fair market value. The fair market value is the average reporting closing price of the shares for the ten trading days ending on the third day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption was sent to warrant holders.

The Company estimated the fair value of Private Warrants on a recurring basis at the respective dates using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, for the Private Warrants. The Black-Scholes option valuation model inputs are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares of the Company Class A Common Stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, the risk-free interest rates, the expected dividends, and the expected

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

volatility of the price of the underlying shares of the Company Class A Common Stock. These estimates, especially the expected volatility, are highly judgmental and could differ materially in the future. The Company recognized a loss of $21 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, recorded as a loss on warrant liability within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Stock price	11.16		10.88
Term (in years)	4.30		4.55
Expected volatility	61.0	%	60	%
Risk-free rate	3.7	%	4.1	%
Dividend yield	—	%	—	%

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of 11.50 per share, at any time commencing on August 18, 2022, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Warrants expire on July 18, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

5. DEBT

TCW Credit Agreement

On December 23, 2019, the Company, entered into a financing agreement (the “TCW Agreement”) with TCW (‘Lenders’) consisting of a $150,000 multi-draw term loan in aggregate, of which the first draw was for a principal amount of $95,000, with a maturity date of December 23, 2024. Additionally, on the same day, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (‘LOC’) with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $15,000. Undrawn balances available under the revolving credit facility are subject to commitment fees of 1%. These facilities are guaranteed and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On January 11, 2023, the Company executed a Ninth Amendment to the financing agreement with TCW, wherein Wingspire Capital LLC ("Wingspire") became a party to the TCW Agreement. Wingspire funded an additional $15,000 of term loan commitment on top of the already outstanding Term Loan. Additionally, the Ninth Amendment split the term loan with TCW into two loans. Term Loan A will be represented by Wingspire with an outstanding principal balance of $30,000 and Term Loan B will be represented by TCW with an outstanding principal balance of $137,753. Additionally, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, Wingspire consented to take over the TCW line of credit for a principal amount not to exceed $15,000.

Until January 11, 2024, the Company has the option to increase Term Loan A by $20,000 under two conditions: (i) the Company must have a trailing 12-month EBITDA of at least $25,000; and (ii) the Company must draw in increments of at least $5,000.

On January 31, 2023, we executed a tenth amendment to the TCW Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). The Tenth Amendment (1) set forth the terms on which we could acquire Orinter, pursuant to that certain Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2023, among us, Mondee Brazil, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mondee Brazil”), OTT Holdings Ltda. (“OTT Holdings”), Orinter, and the other parties named therein (the “Orinter Purchase Agreement”); (2) set forth the terms on which we could pay the earn-out payment contemplated to be paid to OTT Holdings and certain key executives of OTT Holdings pursuant to the Orinter Purchase Agreement; (3) required that Mondee Brazil join as a party to the TCW Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined in the TCW Agreement); (4) required that Mondee, Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Mondee Brazil; and (5) required that Mondee Brazil and Mondee Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Orinter.

The effective interest on Term Loan B for the periods ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022 is 24% and 16%, respectively. The effective interest on the Term Loan A for the period ended March 31, 2023 is 16%.

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

As of March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the Company’s TCW Credit Agreement was $124,704 and $183,852, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the total estimated fair value of the Company's Wingspire loan was $27,381. The fair value of debt was estimated based on Level 3 inputs.

Canadian Loans (“Other Government Loans”)

Canada Emergency Business Account

In April and June 2020, the Company was granted an interest free loan from Royal Bank of Canada in the aggregate amount of $50 CAD (equivalent $39 USD), pursuant to the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loan forgiveness, funded by the Government in Canada. Additionally in 2021, the Company was granted another CEBA loan with the Canadian government of $20 CAD (equivalent $16 USD). As the legal form of the CEBA loan is debt, the Company accounted for the loan as debt under ASC 470. The loan is provided to qualifying businesses to cover short term operating expenses, payroll, and non-deferrable expenses. The Company will be eligible for 25% loan forgiveness if the loan amount equal to 75% of the highest amount drawn from the CEBA until March 31, 2021 is repaid by December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $70 CAD (equivalent $52 USD).

The Company concluded that it was appropriate to account for the CEBA as debt until receipt of formal approval for loan forgiveness from the government of Canada, at which time the Company will extinguish the CEBA loan as debt and recognize a gain on loan extinguishment on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not submitted payment for any portion of the outstanding loan, and as such the loan continues to be accounted for as debt.

Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program

On August 12, 2021, the Company was granted a Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (“HASCAP”) loan with the Canadian government of $250 CAD (equivalent to $198 USD). The proceeds should be used to exclusively fund the operational cash flow needs of the Company. Loan payments are deferred for 13 months after drawdown with a maturity date of 10 years and 4% fixed interest rate. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $236 CAD (equivalent $175 USD).

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were measured at fair value, on a recurring basis:

______________________________


(1)			On February 1, 2021, with the closing of the IPO, ITHAX consummated the sale of 675,000 private placement units, including the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 232,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.
(2)			The Orinter earn-out consideration represents arrangements to pay the former owners of Orinter acquired by the Company in 2023. The undiscounted maximum payment under the arrangement is $10,000 in aggregate at the end of fiscal years 2023 through 2025. As of March 31, 2023 no payments were made. Earn-out consideration is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and as a separate line in Long-Term Liabilities within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(3)			The Company uses foreign currency forwards contracts with maturities of up to four months to hedge a portion of anticipated exposures. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value within Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities.

The Private Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liability is measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date, and March 31, 2023 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The foreign currency exchange derivatives are reported at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities. As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not designate any derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. The notional amount of the foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2023 is $5,834. The notional amount of a foreign currency forward contract is the contracted amount of foreign currency to be exchanged and is not recorded in the balance sheets. The effect off foreign currency exchange derivatives recorded in Other Income (Expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is $12.

Regarding the Level 3 Orinter earn-out consideration, the Company assesses the fair value of expected earn-out consideration at each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected earn-out consideration. This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the earn-out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation method repeats a process thousands of times in an attempt to predict all the possible future outcomes. At the end of the simulation, several random trials produce a distribution of outcomes that are then analyzed to determine the average present value of earn-out. The earn-out consideration is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and as a separate line within Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Change in the fair value of earn-out consideration is reflected in our Condensed Statements of Operations. Changes to the unobservable inputs do not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company established the initial fair value of the Private Warrants on July 18, 2022, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, and revalued on March 31, 2023, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date, and March 31, 2023 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Roll-forward of Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarizes the fair value adjustments for earn-out consideration and private warrant liability measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3):

Earn-out consideration


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Balance, beginning of period	$	—	$	597
Additions of earn-out consideration with the acquisition of Orinter	3,719		—
Change in the estimated fair value of earn-out consideration	171		165
Balance, end of the period	$	3,890	$	762

Private warrant liability


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Balance, beginning of period	1,293		—
Change in the estimated fair value of warrants	21		—
Balance, end of the period	$	1,314	$	—

The fair value of Company’s short term financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred underwriting fee, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, due to their short-term nature. The Company’s restricted short-term investments are certificate of deposits held at banks and it is management’s intent to hold to maturity. As such, the Company records restricted short-term investments, long-term debt, and long-term debt due from related parties on an amortized cost basis.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy categories of financial instruments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment and an impairment is recorded to reduce the non-financial instrument’s carrying value to the fair value as a result of such triggering events, the non-financial assets are measured at fair value for the period such triggering events occur.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on non-financial assets.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Orinter Acquisition

On January 31, 2023 (the "acquisition date"), the Company executed the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Orinter Tour & Travel, S.A. ("Orinter") from OTT Holding Ltd (the "Sellers"). Orinter is a high-growth and leading travel provider with a strong presence in Brazil and Latin America. Orinter currently serves a multitude of travel companies. Through this acquisition, the Company has expanded its geographic footprint to include Brazil's domestic and outbound travel market. Additionally, Orinter’s direct relationships with Latin American hotels will provide valuable cross-sell opportunities for the Company.

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

The Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The acquisition date fair value of purchase consideration is given in below:


Purchase Price Consideration
Cash consideration (i)	$	20,464
Issuance of Class A Common Stock (ii)	16,037
Fair value of earnout consideration (iii)	3,719
Total purchase price consideration	$	40,220

i.Cash consideration of $18,928 paid on the closing date and $1,536 to be transferred to an escrow account as a guarantee in case of necessity of reimbursement, payment and/or use by Orinter for fulfillment of obligations of Orinter deriving from customers credits and customers prepayment.

ii.Issuance of 1,726,405 shares of Class A Common Stock within 60 days from the Closing date to be maintained in an escrow account. The release of the shares are as follows: (a) 903,202 after a period of 12 months from the Closing Date, and (b) 823,203 shares after a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.

iii.The purchase price consideration includes an earn-out obligation of $10,000 (paid in equal installments over 3 years) contingent on Orinter meeting EBITDA targets of $10,500, $11,500, and $12,500, for the years ended 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

The Company estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the effective time of the business combination based on information currently available and continues to adjust those estimates upon refinement of market participant assumptions for integrating businesses. As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the date of the Business Combination. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented in the following table.


Assets acquired:	Estimated Fair Value
Cash	624
Accounts receivable	$	40,431
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,447
Property and equipment, net	336
Goodwill	15,734
Operating lease right-of-use-assets	172
Intangible assets, net	29,180
Fair value of assets acquired	87,924
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable	31,243
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	6,437
Deferred income tax	9,921
Operating lease liabilities	103
Fair value of liabilities assumed	47,704
Total purchase consideration	$	40,220

During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill resulting from the Orinter acquisition. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected post-acquisition synergies from integrating Orinter’s technology with Mondee’s platform and technology. Goodwill recorded in

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition was recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized but is subject to an annual review for impairment.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company determined that Orinter’s separately identifiable assets were customer relationships and trade names. The Company amortizes the acquired intangibles over their estimated useful lives as set forth in the table below:


	Useful life (years)	Fair value
Customer relationships	11	$	21,500
Trade names	15	7,680
Total acquired intangibles		$	29,180

Since the acquisition, Orinter is included in the Travel Marketplace segment.

The amounts of revenue and pretax net income of Orinter included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date of January 31, 2023, were $9,104 and $1,601, respectively.

8. REVENUE

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company believes that the disaggregation based on the reportable segments best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market, and other factors. As described below in Note 13, the Company has two reportable segments, Travel Marketplace and SaaS Platform.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Revenue from Travel Marketplace	$	49,549	$	38,775
Revenue from SAAS Platform	380		292
	$	49,929	$	39,067

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collection results in the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts resulting from contracts in which revenue is estimated and accrued based upon measurable performance targets defined at contract inception.

Contract liabilities, discussed below, are referenced as “deferred revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosures. Cash received that are contingent upon the satisfaction of performance obligations are accounted for as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue primarily relates to advance received from GDS service provider for bookings of airline tickets in future.

The opening and closing balances of accounts receivable and deferred revenue are as follows:


	Accounts Receivable		Contract Asset		Deferred Revenue
Ending Balance as of December 31, 2022	21,733		5,794		(20,484)
Increase/(decrease), net	59,035		(1,294)		2
Ending Balance as of March 31, 2023	$	80,768	$	4,500	$	(20,482)

Table of Contents

(In thousands, except stock, units and par value data)

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $1,016 from the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022.

9. INCOME TAXES

We have assessed our ability to realize our deferred tax assets and have recorded a valuation allowance against such assets to the extent that, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, we placed significant weight on our history of generating tax losses, including in the first quarter of 2023. As a result, we have a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. We expect to maintain a full valuation allowance for the foreseeable future.

We determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We record any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate in the interim period in which the change occurs, including discrete items. The tax expense arising on account of the tax amortization of an indefinite lived intangible asset and the state minimum taxes is calculated based on the discrete approach.

The Company recorded $1,476 liability for a income tax contingency related to the acquisition of Orinter. At the date of acquisition, we recognized a indemnification asset at the same time and on the same basis as the recognized liability, to the extent that collection is reasonably assured, in accordance with ASC 805.

The effective income tax rate was 5.68% on the pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and (0.45)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the full valuation allowances on the Company’s net domestic deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incidental to its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of judgment, defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. As of March 31, 2023 the Company currently has two outstanding legal claims that may have an adverse material impact.

Litigation Relating to LBF Acquisition. In the federal court action, Thomas DeRosa, a shareholder of LBF Travel Management Corp. (f/k/a LBF Travel, Inc.), the entity that sold LBF Travel Holdings, LLC to Mondee, sued LBF Travel Management Corp. and its CEO to recover a portion of the proceeds of the sale of LBF Travel Holdings, LLC to Mondee. Mondee was later added as a party to this litigation via a third-party complaint that alleges, among other things, that Mondee aided and abetted the directors and officers of LBF Travel Management Corp. in breaches of their fiduciary duties in connection with the acquisition. The case remains pending in Federal court. There is a separate state court action that has been stayed. While the Company believes that they will be successful based on their position, it is nevertheless reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay any assessed amounts in order to contest or litigate the assessment and an estimate for a reasonably possible amount of any such payments cannot be made.

On October 13, 2021, Mondee received a summons from Global Collect Services B.V. (“Ingenico”) to appear in the District Court of Amsterdam with respect to a claim of $548 for past dues and outstanding invoices, fees, plus interest and costs of collection. The Company is in current discussions to settle this lawsuit.

Letters of Credit

The Company had $7,555 and $6,354 secured letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These primarily relate to securing the payment for the potential purchase of airline tickets in the ordinary course of business and are collateralized by term deposits, for which the contractual obligation is less than a year.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have the following reportable segments: Travel Marketplace and SAAS Platform. These reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because the nature of products and services, and methods used to distribute the services are different. Corporate includes unallocated functions and expenses. In addition, we record legal expense, warrant transaction expense, and sale of export incentives excluded from segment operating performance in Corporate. Our primary operating metric is Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Assets, liabilities and expenses are reviewed on an entity-wide basis by the CODM, and hence are not allocated to these reportable segments.

The following is a general description of the material features of the ESPP, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the ESPP:

•The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the ESPP will be equal to 2% of the fully-diluted shares, subject to certain adjustments;

•The ESPP will permit participants to purchase Common Stock through contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise to the extent permitted by the administrator) of up to the lesser of 8% of their eligible compensation or $25,000 maximum per offering period, which includes a participant’s regular and recurring straight time gross earnings and other eligible compensation, as defined in the ESPP. Subject to the eligibility requirements and dollar limits discussed above, a participant may purchase a maximum of $25,000 worth of shares of Class A Common Stock during each offering period. Subject to such limits, the administrator may increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that a participant may purchase during future offering periods. Amounts contributed and accumulated by the participant during any offering period will be used to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of each offering period. The purchase price of the shares of Class A Common Stock cannot be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period; and

elected to withdraw from the ESPP upon the termination of the participant’s employment for any reason or in the event the participant is no longer eligible to participate in the ESPP.

As of March 31, 2023, the ESPP has not yet been activated.

Earn-out Shares

Following the closing of the reverse recapitalization executed on July 18, 2022, earn-out shares were issued. Holders of the earn-out shares are entitled to the right to receive up to an aggregate amount of 9,000,000 shares of New Mondee Class A Common Stock that would vest (in part) in equal thirds if the trading price of the company's Class A Common Stock was greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00, and $18.00 for any 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period at any time during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the reverse recapitalization and ending on the four anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination.

In the event that there is a company sale and during the vesting period that will result in the holders of Class A Common Stock receiving a company sale price equal to or in excess of the applicable price per share set forth above, then immediately prior to the consummation of the company sale any such vesting of earn-out shares that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and the holders of such earn-out shares shall be eligible to participate in such company sale. In the event of any merger, sale, consolidation, recapitalization, equity transfer, restructuring, reorganization or other similar business transaction that does not constitute a company sale, any remaining unvested earn-out shares shall not be forfeited, shall remain outstanding, and shall remain subject to the remaining applicable vesting triggering events set forth above.

In the event of a company sale, including where the consideration payable is other than a specified price per share, for purposes of determining whether the applicable stock price levels set forth above have been achieved, the price paid per share of common stock will be calculated on a basis that takes into account the number of earn-out shares that will vest (i.e., the ultimate price per share payable to all holders of common stock will be the same price per share used to calculate the number of earn-out shares that vest). The holders will have all of the rights of a holder of common stock with respect to the unvested earn-out shares, except that the holders will not be entitled to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction and the earn-out shares cannot be sold, redeemed, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of prior to vesting.

As the earn-out shares are not puttable by the holders thereof, the underlying shares are not redeemable outside of the Company’s control, and the earn-out shares are settled through the or through the vesting, a fixed number of shares, the earn-out shares are not a liability within the scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Further, although the earn-out shares meet the definition of a derivative, they qualify for the equity-scope exception to derivative accounting because they meet the criteria for equity indexation and equity classification under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Note that if a company sale occurs as a result of a cash offer, the calculation of the share price used to determine if the applicable stock price level set forth above has been achieved would include the earn-out shares. Lastly, the earn-out shares are indexed to the Company’s own stock, as there are no other events that would accelerate the vesting of such shares other than the share price being in excess of the applicable stock price levels set forth above or a company sale. Accordingly, these earn-out shares are equity classified

In accordance with terms of the Business Combination and upon closing, the Company approved a total earn-out of 9,000,000 Class A Common Stock, which were allocated as follows as of March 31, 2023.


Shareholder Type	Grant Date	Number of Shares
Employee	7/18/2022	6,000,000
Investor	7/18/2022	500,000
Employee	9/7/2022	900,000
Non-employee	9/12/2022	200,000
Unallocated shares	—	1,400,000
Total		9,000,000

While the earn-out shares are legally issued (except for 200,000 earn-out shares issued to non-employee) and placed into escrow, they are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes until resolution of the earn-out contingency.

The estimated acquisition date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

We generate revenue primarily from sales of airline tickets and other travel products and have begun adding subscription fees with some services. Primarily all of our revenue today is generated by providing omni-channel travel services that result in airline ticket and ancillary sales. Revenue is received in the forms of ticket markups, supplier commission, or ticketing or ancillary fees, fintech revenues, as well as incentive payments from airlines, GDS service providers, and banks and financial institutions, which we leverage in our payment processing and settlement platform. We also fulfill and settle the reservations booked through affiliated travel agents or directly by travelers.

TCW Agreement Amendments

On January 11, 2023, we executed a ninth amendment to the TCW Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), wherein Wingspire Capital LLC (“Wingspire”) became a party to the TCW Agreement, among other changes. Wingspire funded an additional $15.0 million of term loan commitment on top of the already outstanding Term Loan. Additionally, the Ninth Amendment split the Term Loan with TCW into two loans. Term Loan A will be represented by Wingspire with an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million and Term Loan B will be represented by TCW with an outstanding principal balance of $137.8 million.

Additionally, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, Wingspire consented to take over the TCW line of credit for a principal amount not to exceed $15.0 million. Until January 11, 2024, we have the option to increase Term Loan A by $20.0 million under two conditions: (i) our Company must have a trailing 12-month EBITDA of at least $25.0 million; and (ii) our Company must draw in increments of at least $5.0 million.

On January 31, 2023, we executed a tenth amendment to the TCW Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). The Tenth Amendment (1) set forth the terms on which we could acquire Orinter, pursuant to that certain Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2023, among us, Mondee Brazil, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mondee Brazil”), OTT Holdings Ltda. (“OTT Holdings”), Orinter, and the other parties named therein (the “Orinter Purchase Agreement”); (2) set forth the terms on which we could pay the earn-out payment contemplated to be paid to OTT Holdings and certain key executives of OTT Holdings pursuant to the Orinter Purchase Agreement; (3) required that Mondee Brazil join as a party to the TCW Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined in the TCW Agreement); (4) required that Mondee, Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Mondee Brazil; and (5) required that Mondee Brazil and Mondee Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Orinter.

Orinter Acquisition

On January 31, 2023, our Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mondee Brazil LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with our Company, “Buyer”), entered into that certain Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated January 31, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with OTT Holding LTDA, a Brazilian limited liability company (the “Seller”), and Orinter Tour & Travel, S.A., a Brazilian corporation (the “Orinter”), along with other parties thereto (the “Intervening Parties”), as described in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller sold to Buyer, and Buyer purchased from Seller, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Orinter, in exchange for total consideration of $37.7 million (the “Consideration”) (such transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Orinter Acquisition”). The Consideration was comprised of: (i) a cash component equal to $20.5 million, $18.9 million of which was paid to Seller on the Closing Date and $1.5 million of which will be transferred to an escrow account as a guarantee in case of necessity of reimbursement, payment and/or use by Orinter for fulfillment of obligations of Orinter deriving from customers credits and customers prepayment.; (ii) a stock component equal to $16.0 million, in the form of 1,726,405 shares of our Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”). The release of the shares are as follows: (a) 903,202 after a

Table of Contents

period of 12 months from the Closing Date, and (b) 823,203 shares after a period of 24 months from the Closing Date; and (iii) an earn-out obligation of $10.0 million (paid in equal installments over 3 years) contingent on Orinter meeting EBITDA targets of $10,500, $11,500, and $12,500, for the years ended 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Pro Rata Distribution

In connection with the business combination between ITHAX Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Mondee Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware company, (the “Business Combination”), Mondee Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Mondee Stockholder”) received 60,800,000 shares of our Common Stock. In March 2023, the Mondee Stockholder effected the pro rata distribution of the 60,800,000 shares of our Common Stock to the members of the Mondee Stockholder (the “Pro Rata Distribution”). Upon the consummation of the Pro Rata Distribution, the Mondee Stockholder ceased to hold any shares of our Common Stock.

Settlement of Mondee Group Note and Shareholder Receivable

On March 25, 2016 Mondee, Inc. extended a loan in the original amount of $19.3 million to Mondee Group, LLC (“Mondee Group” and such loan, the “Mondee Group Note”). Mondee Group is owned by Prasad Gundumogula, our chief executive officer (“Gundumogula”).

On July 18, 2022, the closing date of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Mondee, Inc. entered into a second amendment to the Mondee Group Note. Mondee, Inc. agreed to settle $2.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Mondee Group Note through the acquisition of Metaminds Technologies Pvt. Ltd., (“Metaminds”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 18, 2022 (the “Metaminds Agreement”) by and among Mondee, Inc., Metaminds, Gundumogula, Madhuri Pasam, and Mondee Group to acquire substantially all of the assets and associated liabilities of Metaminds in exchange for $2.0 million. As payment of the $2.0 million under the Metaminds Agreement the outstanding balance of the loan receivable under the Mondee Group Note was reduced to $20.3 million (the “Remaining Balance”).

Additionally on the Closing Date, we and Mondee Group entered into a note repayment agreement that finalized how the Remaining Balance was settled. Consistent with SAB Topic 4E, we recorded such right to receive our Company’s Common Stock as a deduction from shareholders' deficit. In connection with the Business Combination, the Mondee Stockholder received our Common Stock, which was distributed to Mondee Group on March 10, 2023, pursuant to the Pro Rata Distribution. Mondee Group assigned the right to receive 2,033,578 shares of our Common Stock to Mondee, Inc., in settlement of the Remaining Balance. The shares of our Common Stock were valued at $10.00 each, which resulted in 2,033,578 shares being issued to Gundumogula by our Company. The Remaining Balance was reflected as treasury stock since the settlement of the Remaining Balance was a result of Gundumogula transferring our Common Stock to us.

2023 Restructuring

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our Company announced reductions to employees in India, Thailand and the United States. The purpose of this actions was to pursue greater cost efficiencies and to realign our business and strategic priorities. As part of this action, we generally provided involuntary termination benefits in the amount of one month of compensation as a severance payment.

Interep Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay total consideration of (i) $4 million on the Interep Closing Date, with an adjustment for working capital, (ii) a deferred payment of $0.7 million paid in 36 installments, (iii) 416,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock and (iv) an earn-out component up to an aggregate of $3 million contingent on Interep meeting certain adjusted EBITDA targets.

agencies in Mexico and around the world through first-class technological tools with products and services that satisfy travelers. Through this acquisition, the Company expands its geographic footprint in Mexico's domestic and outbound travel market, as well as in other areas of Latin America.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay total consideration of (i) $4 million on the Consolid Closing Date, with an adjustment for working capital, and (ii) an earn-out component up to an aggregate of $1 million and 400,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock contingent on Consolid meeting certain adjusted EBITDA targets.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material impact on the expansion of the global gig economy and remote worker populations, which could provide a material business leverage opportunity for our Company with commensurate operating and revenue performance results.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a fundamental, and potentially permanent, shift of business practices globally to the adoption of remote and virtual work environments. This change, among other generational factors, rapidly increased the proliferation of the global gig economy, creating larger fragmented pools of remote, part-time and home-based gig workers. In many industries, and especially in the travel industry, this shift has created a significant market white space for remote and home-based business solutions that are largely technology enabled. We believe our micro-services and self-service modern technology solutions, combined with our affiliate and travel agent market segment focus, extensive high-value content access and consumer-friendly apps, give us a material early-to-market advantage in this market white space. In addition, this advantage may provide us with significant market growth and penetration opportunities for an unpredictable period of time, which could result in a potentially material increase in transactions. Since our financial results and prospects are largely dependent on these transaction volumes, we may see a commensurate positive impact on our operating and financial performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on the travel industry, which could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic conditions and government orders forced many of our travel suppliers, including airlines and hotels, to curtail drastically their service offerings, pursue cost reduction measures and seek financing, including government financing and support, so they could reduce financial distress and continue operating. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a material decrease in business and consumer spending and an unprecedented decline in transaction volumes in the global travel industry. Our financial results are largely dependent on these transaction volumes. As a result, our financial results for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were impacted in total revenues, net income, cash flow from operations and Adjusted EBITDA, as compared to 2019. Financial results began to improve in 2021 and continued to trend upward through 2023.

Our liquidity and ongoing access to capital could be materially and negatively affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $293.2 million and $280.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and available line of credit will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including on-going effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, consolidation of the travel industry, changes in the general market conditions for travel services, and future business combinations. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. From time to time, we may seek to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our continued access to sources of liquidity depends on multiple factors, including global economic conditions, the condition of global financial markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing and our operating performance. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been increased volatility in the financial and securities markets, which has generally made access to capital less certain and has increased the cost of obtaining new capital. However, there is no guarantee that we will not need to obtain debt financing in the future to fund our operations, or that such debt financing will be available in the future, or that it will be available on commercially reasonable terms, in which case we may need to seek other sources of funding.

Adverse changes in general market conditions for travel services, including the effects of macroeconomic conditions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, health concerns, civil or political unrest or other events outside our control could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

Our revenue is derived from the global travel industry and would be significantly impacted by declines in, or disruptions to, travel activity, particularly air travel. Global factors over which we have no control, but which could impact our clients’ willingness to travel and, depending on the scope and duration, cause a significant decline in travel volumes include, among other things:

•widespread health concerns, epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Zika virus, H1N1 influenza, the Ebola virus, avian flu, SARS or any other serious contagious diseases;

•global security concerns caused by terrorist attacks, the threat of terrorist attacks, or the precautions taken in anticipation of such attacks, including elevated threat warnings or selective cancellation or redirection of travel;

•cyber-terrorism, political unrest, the outbreak of hostilities or escalation or worsening of existing hostilities or war;

•natural disasters or severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes;

•climate change-related impact to travel destinations, such as extreme weather, natural disasters and disruptions, and actions taken by governments, businesses and supplier partners to combat climate change;

•the occurrence of travel-related accidents or the grounding of aircraft due to safety concerns;

•adverse changes in visa and immigration policies or the imposition of travel restrictions or more restrictive security procedures; and

•any decrease in demand for consumer or business travel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results are impacted by our ability to manage costs and expenses, while achieving a balance between making appropriate investments to grow revenue and increase profitability.

Cost and expense management will have a direct impact on our financial performance. We may look to drive revenue growth through investments in marketing, technology, and acquisitions to increase our net revenue, product offerings, revenue per transaction, and ultimately market share. These investments will need to be weighed against creating a more cost-efficient business to reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

To address the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our management has taken specific actions including: renegotiating certain terms and conditions of our loans with our lenders to defer interest payments and thereby manage our cash; raising additional capital through external borrowings; restructuring accounts payable to accommodate a longer time horizon for payment; and investing in and developing our platform to increase operating efficiencies and reduce labor expenses.

While it appears that travel market transactions are recovering, our management will continue to monitor our travel transaction volumes for the impacts due to the COVID-19 virus and future variants. In response to any changes in our travel transaction volumes, our management intends to update and immediately enact initiatives to scale the business infrastructure and operating expenses up or down as appropriate to ensure optimal earnings and cash flows in future periods. In addition, our management will coordinate with suppliers, operating partners and our financial partners to attempt to arrange adequate capital to withstand any future potential COVID-19 induced volume variability.

Use of Transaction Volumes

Transaction volume represents the gross value of transactions handled by our platform between a third party seller or service provider and the ultimate customer. We generate revenue from service fees earned on these transactions and, accordingly our revenue increases or decreases based on the increase or decrease in either or both the number or value of transactions we process. Revenue will increase as a result of an increase in the number of customers using our platform or as a result of an increase in service fees from higher value services offered on the platform. As an example of one of these two factors, while transaction volume was flat from 2020 to 2021, our revenue increased from $65.8 million to $93.2 million during that same period as a result of an increase in transaction value, driven by our development of new revenue streams such as fintech revenue as well as the addition of subscription based and other ancillary revenues. Our management

Table of Contents

believes that transaction volume has a strong correlation to the opportunity to realize revenue and is therefore a useful unit of measurement for our investors.

Comparability of Financial Information

Our results of operations between the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2022 and our statements of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 may not be comparable as a result of the Business Combination.

Lastly, our 2020 and 2021 annual financial results were more severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, an event that occurred out of the ordinary course of business, in comparison with the financial results during 2022. The travel industry began to recover during 2021 as vaccination rates increased, infection rates decreased, and restrictions began to lift, and continues to trend upwards towards pre-pandemic travel activity during 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. We use the term “Unlevered Free Cash Flow” to measure cash generated internally that is available to service debt and fund inorganic growth or acquisitions.

We consider both Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow to be important non-GAAP financial measures, because they illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We believe that the use of both Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow is helpful to our investors in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial information, which is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance, and our management believes Unlevered Free Cash Flow is relevant to investors because it provides a measure of cash generated internally that is available both to service debt and to fund inorganic growth or acquisitions. Our management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance. We believe that these measures are used by many investors, analysts and rating agencies as a measure of performance. By reporting these measures, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Financial measures that are non-GAAP should not be considered as alternatives to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, or cash flows as measures of liquidity. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) provision for income taxes; (3) interest expense (net); (4) other income net; (5) stock-based compensation; (6) restructuring and related costs; (7) costs pertaining to acquisition (including bank fees, due

Table of Contents

diligence fees, etc.); (8) legal costs pertaining to acquisition, and other filings which are not ordinary and outside the course of our business (9) other non-recurring expenses, (10) and changes in fair value attributable to warrants classified as liability.

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations, and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow is defined as cash used in operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus cash paid for interest.

The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2023	2022	$ Change	% Change
	($ in thousands)
Net loss	$(12,915)	$(6,991)	$(5,924)	85%
Interest expense, (net)	$7,870	$6,102	$1,768	29%
Stock-based compensation expense	$2,561	$80	$2,481	3101%
Depreciation and amortization	$3,386	$2,817	$569	20%
Restructuring and related costs	$1,529	$—	$1,529	—%
Provision for income taxes	$699	$54	$645	1194%
Changes in fair value of warrant liability	$21	$—	$21	—%
Acquisition costs	$279	$—	$279	—%
Other non-recurring expenses	$216	$—	$216	—%
Legal expense	$662	$—	$662	—%
Other expense (income), net	$(322)	$151	$(473)	(313)%

Adjusted EBITDA	$3,986	$2,213	$1,773	80%

Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are as follows: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, our investors should be aware that in the future we may not incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Lastly, Adjusted EBITDA can obfuscate the one-time impacts of events that happen out of the ordinary course of business, such as the impact of COVID-19 on our Adjusted EBITDA in 2022.

We believe the presentation of Unlevered Free Cash Flow is relevant and useful for investors because it facilitates the comparison of our results with the results of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is the gross free cash flow from operations that we can use to expand operations, pay debt holders, or pay equity and other stakeholders.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow has the same limitations as Adjusted EBITDA, in that it does not consider the capital structure of our Company.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct our business through two operating segments, namely our travel marketplace, which is our transactional business serving the end travelers directly or through travel affiliates, and our software-as-a service (“SaaS”) platform. Substantially, all of our long-lived assets are maintained in, and all of our losses are attributable to, the United States of America. See Note 13 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on basis of presentation and operating segments, respectively.

Components of Results of Operation

Revenues, Net

We have four material revenue streams: transactional revenue, incentive revenue, fintech program revenue, and subscription services revenue.

We generate transactional revenue primarily by airline ticket sales, which include mark-up fees as well as commissions from the sale of ancillary products such as travel insurance, seats, and bags. We also derive transactional revenue from hotel and rental car commission. It also includes, to a lesser extent, services related to reservation of hotel accommodation, rental car, travel insurance, travel packages and other travel products and services. We generate backend incentives from airlines for achieving volume targets. We also generate booking incentives from the three separate GDS service providers and supplier direct systems, which host the airlines’ inventory that we use to sell in our marketplace. We earn incentives from fintech programs held with banks and financial institutions, which we leverage in our payment processing and settlement platform. Our fintech programs include a wide array of payment options, such as credit cards, wallets, and alternate payment methods, and next generation fraud protection tools. In most cases, revenue is recognized at the time of booking, when we are in an agent position, and thus not responsible for the delivery of travel and have no significant obligations following the processing of the transaction.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

We changed the presentation of “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We changed the presentation by combining “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” into “Sales and Marketing Expense”. The change is a result of an increased overlap between the nature and purpose of expenses that fall within these groups.

Sales expenses are generally variable in nature and consist primarily of: (1) credit cards and other payment processing fees associated with merchant transactions; (2) fees paid to third parties that provide call center, website content translations, fraud protection services, and other services; (3) offshore customer support; and (4) customer chargeback provisions.

Table of Contents

We rely on marketing channels to generate a significant amount of traffic to our websites. Marketing expenses consist primarily of the costs of (1) advertising, including digital and physical advertising and (2) affiliate marketing programs. We intend to continue making significant investments in marketing to drive additional revenue, increase our market share, and expand our global customer base. As a result, we expect our marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expect to invest in growing and training our sales force and broadening our brand awareness.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of: (1) occupancy and office expenses; (2) fees for outside professionals, including legal and accounting services; (3) audit and tax fees; and (4) other miscellaneous expenses. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, additional insurance expenses (including directors’ and officers’ insurance), investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increase the size of general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. However, we anticipate general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

Personnel Expenses

Personnel expenses consist of compensation to our personnel, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, and employee health and other benefits, as well as stock based compensation expense. We expect to incur additional personnel expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expanding head count through organic growth as well as increasing headcount through mergers and acquisitions. However, we anticipate personnel expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

IT Expenses

IT expenses consist primarily of: (1) software license and system maintenance fees; (2) outsourced data center and web hosting costs; (3) payments to contractors; and (4) data communications and other expenses associated with operating our services. We expect to incur additional IT expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expanding our operations through growth of our online booking platform and hosting fees. We also expect to increase the size of IT expenses to support the growth of our business. However, we anticipate IT expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of: (1) amortization of intangible assets with determinable lives; (2) depreciation of computer equipment; (3) amortization of internally developed and purchased software; and (4) depreciation of furniture and office equipment. We expect to incur additional depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expanding our operations through capital expenditures and purchases of long-lived assets, as well as potential impacts of our continued mergers and acquisitions strategy. However, we anticipate depreciation and amortization expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of: (1) interest income; (2) interest expense; (3) other income and expense, and (4) government assistance. Interest expense relates to interest on loans, amortization of debt issuance costs, and factoring interest and commissions on receivables. Interest income was recorded from the Mondee Group Note, our related party loan settled upon the consummation of the business combination with ITHAX. Other expenses include realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange.

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes

We are subject to payment of federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and other forms of income taxes in other jurisdictions. Consequently, we determine our consolidated provision for income taxes based on tax obligations incurred using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax assets are recorded net of a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

We evaluate uncertain tax positions to determine if it is more likely than not that such tax positions would be sustained upon examination. We record a liability when such uncertainties fail to meet the more likely than not threshold.

A U.S. shareholder is subject to current tax on “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”) of its controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”). We are subject to tax under GILTI provisions and include our CFCs’ income in our U.S. income tax provision in the period that the CFCs earn the income.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $10.0 million, or 37%, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $9.4 million in affiliate marketing expense and affiliate credit card merchant expense, which is consistent with the increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. $5.3 million of the increase in affiliate marketing expense and credit card merchant expense was due to the Orinter acquisition.

Personnel Expenses

Personnel expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $1.9 million, or 34%, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in stock based compensation due to Earn-Out Shares and restricted stock units of $2.3 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $2.1 million, or 84% , compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees of $1.5

IT Expenses

IT expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $0.4 million, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an decrease in off shore consulting costs.

Table of Contents

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

Provision for doubtful accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $0.9 million, or 422%, compared to the same period in 2022. The variances were mainly driven by changes in estimated recovery of accounts receivable as a result of gradual improvement in travel industry, which were previously severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $0.6 million, or 20% , respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation in computer software as a result of additional capitalized software and an increase in amortization of intangibles as a result of the Orinter acquisition.

Interest Income

Interest income for the for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $220 thousand, or 173%, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash interest income on bank balances.

Interest Expense

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $58.5 million, which were held for working capital purposes, as well as restricted short-term investments of $8.8 million and $15.0 million of our line of credit available. Our cash equivalents are comprised primarily of cash checking accounts. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been payments received from our revenue arrangements and financing arrangements with banks and financial institutions.

TCW Agreement

On January 11, 2023, we executed the Ninth Amendment to the TCW Agreement wherein Wingspire became a party to the TCW Agreement, among other changes. Wingspire funded an additional $15 million of term loan commitment on top of the already outstanding Term Loan. Additionally, the Ninth Amendment split the Term Loan with TCW into two

Table of Contents

loans. Term Loan A will be represented by Wingspire with an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million and Term Loan B will be represented by TCW with an outstanding principal balance of $137.8 million.

Additionally, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, Wingspire consented to take over the TCW LOC for a principal amount not to exceed $15.0 million. Until January 11, 2024, we have the option to increase Term Loan A by $20.0 million under two conditions: (i) our Company must have a trailing 12-month EBITDA of at least $25.0 million; and (ii) our Company must draw in increments of at least $5.0 million.

On January 31, 2023, we executed the Tenth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment (1) set forth the terms on which we could acquire Orinter, pursuant to the Orinter Purchase Agreement; (2) set forth the terms on which we could pay the earn-out payment contemplated to be paid to OTT Holdings and certain key executives of OTT Holdings pursuant to the Orinter Purchase Agreement; (3) required that Mondee Brazil join as a party to the TCW Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined in the TCW Agreement); (4) required that Mondee, Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Mondee Brazil; and (5) required that Mondee Brazil and Mondee Inc. pledge 100% of the equity interests of Orinter.

Financial Position

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We are required to make debt repayments aggregating to $8.51 million million in the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2023, our current liabilities are $109.13 million and current assets are $159.25 million. Given that we have historically generated recurring net losses, we may be unable to make such specified debt repayments from operations when the balance is due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $58.50 million of unrestricted cash and $15.00 million in unused line of credit.

As of the date on which our condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023

were available to be issued, we believe that the cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities, available line of credit will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and accordingly, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern is alleviated.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

See “Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of a recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our controls, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses primarily manifested in improper segregation of duties, inadequate design, implementation, and maintenance of adequate information systems controls, including access and change management controls and timely recording of material transactions.

In addition, prior to the Business Combination, ITHAX identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was related our accounting for complex financial instruments.

In response to these material weaknesses, management is in the process of completing the following remediation actions:

•We are establishing a formal risk assessment process to identify and evaluate risks relevant to financial reporting objectives

•We are implementing segregation of duties around the approval of journal entries and accounting processes.

•We are implementing a training program addressing internal control over financial reporting, including educating control owners regarding the requirements of each control.

We determined that the material weakness around improper segregation of duties, inadequate design, implementation, and maintenance of adequate information systems controls, including access and change management controls and timely recording of material transactions prior to being a public company continued to exist as of March 31, 2023. We also determined that the material weakness around accounting for complex financial instruments continued to exist as of March

Table of Contents

31, 2023. These material weaknesses may not allow for us to have proper segregation of duties and the ability to close our books in a timely and reliable manner, to detect and correct any potential misstatements, and to report our results on a timely basis.

We have begun the process of, and we are focused on, designing and implementing effective internal control measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate these material weaknesses. Our efforts include a number of actions:

•We are actively recruiting additional personnel within our accounting and finance department, in addition to engaging and utilizing third party consultants and specialists to supplement our internal resources and segregate key functions within our business processes, if appropriate;

•We are designing and implementing additional review procedures within our accounting and finance department to provide more robust and comprehensive internal controls over financial reporting that address the relative financial statement assertions and risks of material misstatement within our business processes;

•We are designing and implementing the maintenance of adequate information systems controls, including access and change management controls; and

•We are designing and implementing information technology and application controls in our financially significant systems to address our relative information processing objectives.

While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for “emerging growth companies.”

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness remediation efforts underway, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including the important information in “Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended. If any of those factors were to occur, they could materially adversely affect our financial condition or future results, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements in this report. Except as noted below, we are aware of no material changes to the Risk Factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as amended.

We cannot guarantee that our previously-announced restructuring program will achieve its intended result.

As part of our restructuring plans, we conducted a reduction in workforce (“RIF”) of over 300 employees from July 2022 to October 2022, including involuntary and voluntary positions that were not backfilled. We have closed our Mohali and Dehradun, India, offices and plan to exit or sublease these premises. This right-sizing program resulted in the reduction of front-end sales positions; mid-office quality control, ticketing and related positions; back-office accounting and fraud protection positions; and the vacating of the Mohali and Dehradun facilities. All functional areas are now covered in the remaining Delhi and Hyderabad facilities with existing staff. We recorded, in the aggregate, approximately $2.5 million in restructuring and related charges associated with this restructuring program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we conducted an additional RIF of over 260 employees, primarily in India, but also in Thailand and the United States. The purpose of these actions is to pursue greater cost efficiencies and to realign our business and strategic priorities. We cannot guarantee that these restructuring actions will achieve or sustain the targeted benefits, or that the benefits, even if achieved, will be adequate to meet our long-term profitability expectations. Risks associated with these restructuring actions also include additional unexpected costs, negative impacts on our cash flows from operations and liquidity, employee attrition and adverse effects on employee morale and our potential failure to meet operational and growth targets due to the loss of employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results from our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business.

If we fail to either develop new and innovative technologies or enhance our existing technologies and grow our systems and infrastructure in response to changing client demands and rapid technological change, our business may suffer.

The travel industry is subject to changing client preferences and demands relating to travel and travel-related services, including in response to constant and rapid technological change. These characteristics are changing at an even greater pace as travel providers seek to address client needs and preferences resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are unable to develop or enhance technology in response to such changes, products or technologies offered or developed by our competitors, our travelers may find our services less attractive.

Our ability to provide high-quality service to our travelers depends upon the use of sophisticated information technologies and systems, including technologies and systems used for reservation systems, communications, procurement and administrative systems. As our operations grow in both size and scope, we continuously need to improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to offer and provide support for an increasing number of travelers and travel providers enhanced products, services, features and functionality, while maintaining the reliability and integrity of our systems and infrastructure. We may fail to effectively scale and grow our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increased demands. Further, our systems and infrastructure may not be adequately designed with the necessary reliability and redundancy to avoid performance delays or outages that could be harmful to our business, or could contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities.

Our future success also depends on our ability to understand, adapt and respond to rapidly changing technologies in the travel industry that will allow us to address evolving industry standards and to improve the breadth, diversity and reliability of our services. For example, technology solutions that include the use of AI to analyze known traveler data and preferences to develop a tailored travel plan are being developed. As they are in the early stages, we must understand and respond to the potential impacts of such technology, and evaluate and mitigate any potential additional risks related to the use of such technology in our business, including with respect to intellectual property, cybersecurity and privacy. We may be unsuccessful, or may be less successful than our current or new competitors, in developing such technology or mitigating such risks, which would negatively impact our business and financial performance.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to maintain existing systems, obtain new technologies and systems, or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as our competitors or in a cost-effective manner, our business and operations could be materially adversely affected. Also, we may not achieve the benefits anticipated from any new technology or system or be able to devote financial resources to new technologies and systems in the future.

Cybersecurity attacks or security breaches could adversely affect our ability to operate, could result in personal data and our proprietary information being lost, stolen, made inaccessible, improperly disclosed or misappropriated or could cause us to be held liable or subject to regulatory penalties and sanctions and to litigation (including class action litigation), each of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

We, and our travel suppliers and third-party service providers on our behalf, collect, use, transmit and otherwise process a large volume of personal data, which poses a tempting target for malicious actors who may seek to carry out cyber-attacks (or other forms of attempts to obtain personal data) against us or our suppliers or third-party service providers. The secure transmission of client information over the internet contributes to maintaining the confidence of travel suppliers and travelers. Substantial or ongoing data security breaches or cyber-attacks on our systems or other systems on which we rely, whether instigated internally or externally, could result in, among other things: (i) exposure to a significant risk of loss, theft, the rendering inaccessible, improper disclosure or misappropriation of personal data, resulting in regulatory actions, litigation (including class action litigation) and potential liability, damages and regulatory fines and penalties and other related costs (including in connection with our investigation, notification and remediation efforts); (ii) severe damage to our IT infrastructure, including damage that could impair our ability to offer our services; (iii) negative publicity; (iv) damage to our reputation or brand; (v) the disclosure, loss or theft of our intellectual property, including our proprietary software, source code and trade secrets, or proprietary information; (vi) diversion of our management’s time and attention away from daily operations; (vii) regulatory penalties and sanctions, which could lead to further enhanced regulatory oversight; and (viii) travelers and potential travel suppliers losing confidence in our cybersecurity and choosing to use our competitors’ services, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our technology solutions, market share, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, some of our third-party service providers, travel suppliers and other third parties may receive or store information, including our clients’ information provided by us. For example, our travel suppliers currently require most travelers to pay for their transactions with their credit cards, especially in the U.S., and such suppliers receive our clients’ personal data to process the transactions and we can carry some liability in relation to the suppliers we use and ensuring that they have appropriate technical and organizational security procedures in place to protect personal data. Increasingly sophisticated technological capabilities and techniques of threat actors, including traditional hackers, organized crime, and nation state and state-supported actors, pose greater cybersecurity threats and could result in a cyber-attack or a compromise or breach of the technology that we use to protect client transaction data. Outside of cybersecurity, there remain similar risks for personal data and our intellectual property and proprietary information in relation to other forms of data breach including through social engineering or human error, negligence or malfeasance.

We incur material expense to protect against cyber-attacks and security breaches and their consequences, and we may need to increase our security-related expenditures to maintain or increase our systems’ security in the future.

However, despite these efforts, our security measures may not prevent cyber-attacks or data security breaches from occurring, and we may ultimately fail to detect, or accurately assess the severity of, a cyber-attack or other form of security breach or not respond quickly enough. In addition, to the extent we experience a cyber-attack or security breach, we may be unsuccessful in implementing remediation plans to address exposure and future harms. It is possible that computer circumvention capabilities, new discoveries or advances or other developments, which change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, could result in a compromise or breach of client data, even if we take all reasonable precautions, including to the extent required by law. These risks are likely to increase as we expand our offerings, expand internationally, integrate our products and services, and store and process more data, including personal data and other sensitive data. Further, if any of our third-party service providers, travel suppliers or other third parties with whom we share client data fail to implement adequate data-security practices or comply with our terms and policies or otherwise suffer a network or other security breach, our clients’ information may be improperly accessed, used or disclosed. We maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance policies to both meet our legal obligations and cover perceived risks within our business, including those related to cybersecurity, and we believe that our coverage and the deductibles under these policies are adequate for the risks that we currently face. However, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred in the event of any breach, that insurance will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

If a party (whether internal, external, an affiliate or unrelated third party) either is able to circumvent our data security systems or those of the third parties with whom we share client information, or engages in cyber-attacks, such data

Table of Contents

breaches or cyber-attacks could result in such bad actor obtaining our proprietary information, the loss, theft or inaccessibility of, unauthorized access to, or improper use or disclosure of, our clients’ data or a significant interruption in our operations. Our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not be effective, particularly if catastrophic events occur where large numbers of our people are located, or simultaneously affect our people in multiple locations around the world. If these disruptions prevent us from effectively serving our clients, our results of operations could be significantly adversely affected.

Please see the Risk Factor titled “Our collection, storage, use, disclosure and other processing of personal data, including of travelers and our employees, exposes us to risks stemming from possible failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and other legal obligations relating to data privacy and security” for further information.

Our failure to adequately protect, maintain or enforce our intellectual property may negatively impact our ability to compete effectively against competitors in our industry.

Our success and ability to compete depend, in part, upon our ability to protect, maintain and enforce our intellectual property, including our technology solutions and database. In the U.S. and other jurisdictions, we rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as license and confidentiality agreements and internal policies and procedures to protect our intellectual property. Even with these precautions, however, it may be possible for another party to infringe, copy or otherwise obtain and use our owned or licensed intellectual property without our authorization or to develop similar intellectual property independently, particularly in those countries where effective trademark, domain name, copyright, and trade secret protection may not be available. Even where effective protection is available, policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and expensive, and despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. If it becomes necessary for us to litigate to protect these rights, any proceedings could be burdensome and costly, could result in counterclaims challenging our ownership of intellectual property or its validity or enforceability or accusing us of infringement, and we may not prevail. We cannot be certain that the steps that we have taken or will take in the future will prevent misappropriation or infringement of intellectual property used in our business. Unauthorized use and misuse of our intellectual property or intellectual property we otherwise have the rights to use could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, potentially causing us to lose sales or actual or potential clients, or otherwise harm our business, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and we cannot assure you that legal remedies would adequately compensate us for the damage caused by unauthorized use.

Our use of “open source” software could adversely affect our ability to protect our proprietary software and subject us to possible litigation.

We use open source software in connection with our software development. From time to time, companies that use open source software have faced claims challenging the use of open source software or demanding compliance with open source license terms. We could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software, or claiming non-compliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source licenses require licensees who distribute software containing, linking to or derived from open source software to make publicly available the source code of such distributed software, which in some circumstances could be valuable proprietary code, or could require us to license our software for free or permit others to make derivative works based on such software. Further, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in ways that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our technology solutions incorporating such software. While we have implemented policies to ensure that no open source software is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code, license our software for free or permit others to make derivative works based on it, there can be no guarantee that such use could not inadvertently occur. Any requirement to disclose our proprietary source code, license it for free or license it for purposes of making derivative works, and any requirement to pay damages for breach of contract and/or intellectual property infringement may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, and could help our competitors develop services that are similar to or better than ours.

Our collection, storage, use, and disclosure and other processing of personal data, including of travelers and our employees, exposes us to risks stemming from possible failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and other legal obligations relating to data privacy and security. Such laws, regulations and other obligations, and the costs of complying with them, are increasing globally, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with them could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In our processing of travel transactions, we or our travel suppliers and third-party service providers collect, use, analyze, transmit and otherwise process a large volume of personal data in and outside of the U.S. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws with a significant impact on our operations regarding privacy, cyber security and the storage, sharing, use, analysis, transfer, disclosure, protection and other processing of personal data and consumer data, the scope of

Table of Contents

which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent between states within a country or between countries.

Privacy laws are constantly evolving and new legal obligations and liabilities in relation to these are appearing around the world, each of which demand increased compliance resources, including personnel and financing resources. Internationally, many jurisdictions in which we operate have established their own data privacy and security legal framework with which we must comply. For example, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), became effective on May 25, 2018, and continues to result in significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies with users or operations in the EU. The GDPR imposes numerous technical and operational obligations on processors and controllers of personal data and provides numerous protections for individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including, but not limited to, the right to receive notifications regarding certain data breaches, the right to access personal data and the right to delete personal data. The GDPR provides data protection authorities with enforcement powers which include the ability to restrict processing activities and impose fines of up to 20 million Euros or up to 4% of the annual global turnover of the infringer, whichever is greater. In addition, the GDPR imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA to a so-called “third country,” with the use of European Commission Approved Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) being a primary mechanism for such transfers. These obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other requirements or our practices.

Following the U.K.’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”), the U.K. Data Protection Act contains provisions, including its own derogations, for how the GDPR is applied in the U.K. (“U.K. GDPR”). The U.K. Data Protection Act has been enacted alongside the U.K. GDPR. From the beginning of 2021 (when the transitional period following Brexit expired), we have been required to continue to comply with GDPR and also the U.K. Data Protection Act and the U.K. GDPR, under which our applicable entities may be subject to fines for non-compliance that are of the same amount as provided for in the GDPR. At the current time, the European Commission has issued an “adequacy” decision to the U.K., which facilitates the sharing of personal data between the EEA and the U.K. However, such adequacy decision will sunset in June 2025 unless extended and it may be revoked in the future by the European Commission if the U.K. data protection regime is reformed in ways that deviate substantially from the level of protection currently in place. Adding further complexity for international data flows, in March 2022, the U.K. adopted its own International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) for transfers of personal data out of the U.K. to so-called third countries, as well as an international data transfer addendum (“U.K. Addendum”) that can be used with the SCCs for the same purpose. The EU has also proposed legislation that would regulate non-personal data and establish new cybersecurity standards, and other countries, including the U.K., may similarly do so in the future. While the GDPR and U.K. GDPR remain substantially similar for the time being, the U.K. GDPR is currently under review in the U.K. and there may be further changes made to it over the next few years, including in ways that may differ from the GDPR, which could result in further compliance obligations. While these developments increase uncertainty with regard to data protection regulation in the U.K., even in their current, substantially similar form, the GDPR and U.K. GDPR can expose businesses to divergent parallel regimes that may be subject to potentially different interpretations and enforcement actions for certain violations and related uncertainty.

Cross-border transfers of data continues to be an area of considerable focus by data protection regulators around the world and we are subject to evolving laws and regulations that dictate whether, how, and under what circumstances we can transfer, process or receive personal data. For example, in July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the “EU-US Privacy Shield,” a framework for transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States. Subsequent to this, as noted above, new standard contractual clauses have been adopted by the EU and the U.K. and we are required to use such new contract clauses where appropriate and to carry out additional transfer impact assessments. Additionally, in October 2022, President Biden signed an executive order to implement the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which would serve as a replacement to the EU-US Privacy Shield. The European Commission initiated the process to adopt an adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework in December 2022, however, the European Commission and the European Data Protection Board both have been critical of the framework and it is unclear if or when the framework will be finalized or adopted. Given that this is such an area of compliance focus by regulators, there remains a risk that transfers of personal data to some jurisdictions could be considered to be unlawful without adequate data transfer mechanisms in place.

In the U.S., there are numerous federal, state and local data privacy and security laws, rules, and regulations governing the collection, sharing, use, retention, disclosure, security, transfer, storage and other processing of personal data, including federal and state data privacy and security laws, data breach notification laws, and data disposal laws. For example, at the federal level, we are subject to, among other laws and regulations, the rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission (which has the authority to regulate and enforce against unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, including acts and practices with respect to data privacy and security), as well as the Electronic Communication Privacy Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The United States Congress also has considered, is currently considering, and may in the future consider, various proposals for comprehensive federal data privacy and security legislation, to which we may become subject if passed. If we are found to have violated applicable

Table of Contents

laws or regulations, we also may be subject to penalties, fines, damages, injunctions or other outcomes that may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

At the state level, we are subject to laws and regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”). The CCPA became effective on January 1, 2020, and limits how we may collect and use personal data, including by requiring companies that process information relating to California residents to make disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, provide consumers with rights to know and delete personal data and allow consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties. The CCPA also creates an expanded definition of personal data, imposes special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase the likelihood and cost of data breach litigation. The potential effects of this legislation are far-reaching and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and incur substantial costs and expenses in compliance and potential ligation efforts. Further, the CPRA, which went into effect January 1, 2023, creates certain additional rights for California residents. For example, the CPRA creates the new category of “sensitive personal information,” which covers data types such as precise geolocation information, biometric information, race and ethnicity, and information regarding sex life or sexual orientation. The CPRA also creates new rights for California residents to direct a business to limit the use and disclosure of such information to that which is necessary to perform the services reasonably expected by the consumer and to request that a company correct inaccurate personal data that is retained by us. The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, which also became effective on January 1, 2023, gives new data protection rights to Virginia residents and imposes additional obligations on controllers and processors of consumer data similar to the CCPA and CPRA. In addition, other states have signed into law (including Colorado and Connecticut, which laws will become effective July 1, 2023, and Utah, which law will become effective December 31, 2023) or are considering legislation governing the handling of personal data, indicating a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the U.S. Moreover, laws in all 50 U.S. states require businesses to provide notice under certain circumstances to consumers whose personal data has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. Existing and evolving compliance obligations in respect of privacy rules relating to marketing and the use of cookies and related advertising technology may also have an impact on the business such as by reducing the use of databases and advertising techniques in order to conduct marketing activities. Compliance failures in this area can result in potential rulings to delete or stop using marketing databases, fines, penalties and claims from individuals. In addition to the existing framework of data privacy laws and regulations, the U.S. Congress, U.S. state legislatures and many states and countries outside the U.S. are considering new privacy and security requirements that would apply to our business. Compliance with current or future privacy, cyber security, data protection, data governance, account access and information and cyber security laws requires ongoing investment in systems, policies and personnel and will continue to impact our business in the future by increasing our legal, operational and compliance costs and could significantly curtail our collection, use, analysis, sharing, retention and safeguarding of personal data and restrict our ability to fully maximize our closed-loop capability, deploy data analytics or AI technology or provide certain products and services, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability. We or our third-party service providers could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in our or our third-party service providers’ business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect our or our third-party service providers’ business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal tax purposes is subject to limitation and risk that could further limit our ability to utilize our net operating losses.

As of December 31, 2022, our Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state of approximately $100.95 million and $122.65 million respectively. As of December 31, 2021, our Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state of approximately $108.53 million and $141.37 million, respectively. The federal net operating losses will begin to expire in 2032, and state net operating losses begin to expire in 2027, if not utilized. Under current law, federal NOLs generated in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs is limited to 80%. NOLs generated prior to January 1, 2018, however, have a 20-year carryforward period, but are not subject to the 80% limitation.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income may be significantly limited if it experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). In general, an ownership change will occur if there is a cumulative change in a corporation’s ownership by “5 percent shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points (by value) over a rolling three-year period. A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on the use of its pre-ownership change NOLs equal to the value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate (subject to certain adjustments). Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to similar limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs by federal or state taxing authorities or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs reflected on our balance sheet, even if we attain profitability, which

Table of Contents

could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

Although the Sponsor, the members of the Sponsor, the Mondee Stockholders and the members of the Mondee Stockholder were prohibited, through January 19, 2023, from transferring any of our securities, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions, these shares may now be sold and we have filed, and may in the future file or amend, registration statements to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. If any of these shareholders or another large institutional shareholder were to sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock at once or in large blocks, or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them, the market price of our common stock could decline.
