**Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, savings and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "plan," "anticipate," "believe" or "continue" or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

You should read the "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on February 27, 2025, for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

"DoubleVerify," "the DV Authentic Ad," "Authentic Brand Suitability," "DV Pinnacle" and other trademarks of ours appearing in this report are our property and we deem them particularly important to the marketing activities conducted by each of our businesses. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this report are without the® and™ symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to these trademarks, service marks and trade names. This report contains additional trade names and trademarks of other companies. We do not intend our use or display of other companies' trade names or trademarks to imply an endorsement or sponsorship of us by such companies, or any relationship with any of these companies.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Preparation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules that would ordinarily be required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### Use of Estimates and Judgments in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments are inherent in the analysis and measurement of items including, but not limited to: revenue recognition criteria, including the determination of principal versus agent revenue considerations, operating lease assets and liabilities, including the incremental borrowing rate and terms and provisions of each lease, income taxes, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the assessment of potential loss from contingencies, assumptions in valuing acquired assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates. These estimates are based on the information available as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements*.*

#### Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

#### Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
**In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which expands annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid to be disaggregated by jurisdiction. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. Other than the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.**

#### Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"), which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements to include specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements. The objective of ASU 2024-03 is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help investors better understand the entity's performance, better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date" ("ASU 2025-01"), which clarifies that ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 and 2025-01 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

#### Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 improve the operability of the recognition guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 replaces the legacy recognition framework with management's considerations on the funding of projects and introduces a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied either on a prospective, modified prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revenue

The following table disaggregates revenue between advertiser customers, where revenue is primarily generated based on the number of ads measured and purchased for Activation or measured for Measurement, and Supply-side, where revenue is generated based on contracts with minimum guarantees or contracts that contain overages after minimum guarantees are achieved.

|  | **September 30,**  | **September 30,**  | **September 30,**  | **September 30,**  |

| Total revenue | $188621 | $169556 | $542703 | $466228 |

---

Contract assets relate to the Company's conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, include unbilled receivable balances of $62.7 million and $62.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

***Remaining Performance Obligations***

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $34.7 million of remaining performance obligations which are expected to be recognized over the next one to three years. These non-cancelable arrangements have original expected durations longer than one year and for which the consideration is not variable. These obligations relate primarily to the Company's Supply-side revenue which represented $51.7 million, or 9.5% of the Company's total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The vast majority of the Company's revenue is derived primarily from our advertising customers and partners based on the volume of media transactions, or ads, that our software platform measures, and not from supply-side arrangements. In determining the remaining performance obligations, the Company applied the allowable practical expedient and did not disclose information about (1) contracts remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less and (2) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Business Combinations

The acquired intangible assets of Rockerbox will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Accordingly, customer relationships will be amortized over ten years and developed technology will be amortized over four years. The weighted-average useful life of the acquired intangible assets is 6.3 years. The Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $3.1 million in relation to the intangible assets acquired. The deferred tax liability recognized in relation to the acquisition of Rockerbox was recorded in Deferred tax assets within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to jurisdictional netting requirements.

The goodwill and identified intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes. The Company did not incur any acquisition-related transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $1.4 million included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The goodwill associated with Rockerbox includes the acquired assembled work force, the value associated with the opportunity to leverage the work force to continue to develop the future generations of technology assets, and the ability to grow the Company through adding additional customer relationships or new solutions in the future.

The preliminary allocations of the purchase price for Rockerbox are subject to revisions as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The revisions may have a significant impact on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocations of the purchase price will be finalized once all information is obtained and assessed, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase allocation that are not yet finalized relate to direct and indirect taxes.

9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Long-term Debt

On August 12, 2024, DoubleVerify Inc., as borrower (the "Borrower") and DoubleVerify Midco, Inc. ("Midco"), as holdings ("Holdings"), entered into a credit agreement with the banks and other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders and letter of credit issuers, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing lender (the "Credit Agreement"), to provide for a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (with a letter of credit facility of up to a $20.0 million sublimit), which matures on August 12, 2029 (the "Revolving Termination Date"). Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Borrower is entitled to request incremental facilities (including term, revolving and/or letter of credit facilities).

The New Revolving Credit Facility replaced in full the Company's prior senior secured revolving credit facility provided under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2020 as amended by the First Amendment, dated as March 29, 2023, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (the "Prior Revolving Credit Facility").

The loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility, at the Borrower's option, bear interest at either a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or an Alternate Base Rate ("ABR"). In the case of SOFR loans, for each day during each interest period with respect thereto, a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined for such day plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of Holdings and its subsidiaries (the "Credit Group")). In the case of ABR loans, a rate per annum equal to ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Credit Group). The Term SOFR rate is subject to a "floor" of 0.00% per annum. The New Revolving Credit Facility is payable in monthly or quarterly installments for interest, with the principal balance due in full at the Revolving Termination Date, subject to customary events of default as defined by the Credit Agreement. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Credit Group), payable quarterly in arrears commencing on April 15, 2025 and on the fifteenth day following the last day of each calendar quarter occurring thereafter prior to the Revolving Termination Date, and on the Revolving Termination Date, based on the utilization of the New Revolving Credit Facility, and customary letter of credit fees.

The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things: paying dividends or purchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock; granting liens; incurring or guaranteeing additional debt; making investments and acquisitions; entering into transactions with affiliates; entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation or disposing of all or substantially all property or business; and disposing of property, including issuing capital stock.

All obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the guarantee agreement (the "Guarantee Agreement") made by the Company in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement. The obligations are also guaranteed by Midco, Ad-Juster, Inc. and Outrigger Media, Inc., and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets (subject to customary exceptions) of Midco, the Borrower, Ad-Juster, Inc. and Outrigger Media, Inc. (but not the Company).

The Credit Agreement requires the Credit Group to remain in compliance with a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.50x as at the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Borrower was in compliance with all covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding debt under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Income Tax

The Company's quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective income tax rate ("ETR") based on historical information and forward-looking estimates. The Company's estimated annual ETR may fluctuate as a result of changes in items such as forecasted annual pre-tax income, changes to forecasted permanent book to tax differences (e.g., non-deductible expenses), and applicable statutory tax rates.

The Company's ETR for a particular reporting period may fluctuate from prior periods as a result of changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, the impact of anticipated tax settlements with federal, state, or foreign tax authorities, the impact of tax law changes, and the impact of certain discrete events. The Company identifies items that are unusual and non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of these discrete events is booked entirely in the quarter in which they occur.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $10.3 million and $23.9 million, respectively, resulting in a respective ETR of 50.3% and 52.9%, that include the effects of various permanent book-to-tax adjustments, foreign tax rate differences, U.S. tax on foreign operations, and U.S. state and local taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $11.4 million and $18.6 million, respectively, resulting in a respective ETR of 38.5% and 36.1%.

A valuation allowance has been established against certain U.S. tax loss carryforwards. All other net deferred tax assets have been determined to be more likely than not realizable. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and would establish a valuation allowance if it believed that such assets may not be recovered, taking into consideration historical operating results, expectations of future earnings, changes in its operations, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes significant changes to US corporate tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Notably, it allows an immediate deduction for domestic research and development ("R&D") expenditures, including an election to immediately deduct certain amounts historically capitalized. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others in subsequent years. The provisions which impact the Company in 2025 are principally reflected in the financial statements ended September 30, 2025, and do not have a significant impact on the Company's 2025 effective tax rate. The immediate expensing of U.S. R&D expenditures is expected to have a favorable impact on the Company's 2025 domestic cash tax liability.

The Company expects the program to continue consecutively for six-month offering periods for the foreseeable future.

Under the ESPP, eligible employees are able to acquire shares of the Company's common stock by accumulating funds through payroll deductions. The purchase price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period and (ii) the last trading day of the applicable offering period. Employees are required to hold shares purchased for a minimum of six months following the purchase date.

Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On May 22, 2025, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its current officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, by a plaintiff seeking to represent a class of all persons who purchased the Company's securities between November 10, 2023 and February 27, 2025, alleging violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information about the Company's business operations. To date, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has not certified a class. On September 26, 2025, the court appointed Electrical Workers Pension Fund, Local 103, I.B.E.W. and Teamsters Retirement Pension Plan as lead plaintiffs. The Company carries insurance that is applicable to these claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted. The Company does not believe it is necessary to record a litigation accrual at this time and any such amount is not reasonably estimable.

16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Information

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company's business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. The CODM primarily uses consolidated net income as the measure of segment profit or loss in assessing performance by comparing current results to prior periods and making decisions such as resource allocations related to operations.

The CODM is provided with the segment expenses included in consolidated Net income and reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, and in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, to manage the Company's operations.

**Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations** 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including under the heading "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

**Company Overview**

We are one of the industry's leading media effectiveness platforms that leverages AI to drive superior outcomes for global brands. By creating more effective, transparent ad transactions, we make the digital advertising ecosystem stronger, safer and more secure, thereby preserving the fair value exchange between buyers and sellers of digital media.

Our software platform is integrated across the entire digital advertising ecosystem, including programmatic platforms, social media channels, and digital publishers. We deliver unique data analytics through our customer interface, DV Pinnacle, to provide detailed insights into our customers' media performance on both direct and programmatic media buying platforms and across all key digital media channels, formats, and devices. In 2024, our coverage spanned 110 countries where our customers activate our solutions. Our customers include many of the largest global advertisers and digital ad platforms and publishers. We provide a consistent, cross-platform measurement standard across all major forms of digital media, making it easier for advertisers and supply-side customers to benchmark performance across all of their digital ads and optimize business outcomes in real-time.

We derive revenue primarily from our advertiser customers based on the volume of media transactions, or ads, that our software platform measures ("Media Transactions Measured"). Advertisers utilize the DV Authentic Ad, our definitive metric of digital media quality, to evaluate the existence of fraud, brand safety, viewability and geography for each digital ad. Advertisers pay us an analysis fee ("Measured Transaction Fee") per thousand impressions based on the volume of Media Transactions Measured on their behalf. The price of most of our solutions is fixed. On platforms that charge based on percent of media spend, our pricing includes caps which effectively mirror our standard fixed fees. We maintain an expansive set of direct integrations across the entire digital advertising ecosystem, including with leading programmatic, CTV, and social platforms, which enable us to deliver our metrics to the platforms where our customers buy ads. Further, our solutions are not reliant on any single source of impressions and we can service our customers as their digital advertising needs change.

We generate revenue from supply-side customers based on monthly or annual contracts with minimum guarantees and tiered pricing when guarantees are met.

**Components of Our Results of Operations**

We manage our business operations and report our financial results in a single segment.

***Revenue***

Our customers use our solutions to measure the effectiveness of their digital advertisements. We generate revenue from our advertising customers based primarily on the volume of Media Transactions Measured on our software platform, and for supply-side customers, based on contracts with minimum guarantees or contracts that have tiered pricing after minimum guarantees are achieved. Our existing customer base has remained largely stable, and our gross revenue retention rate was over 95% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. We define our gross revenue retention rate as the total prior period revenue earned from advertiser customers, less the portion of prior period revenue attributable to lost advertiser customers, divided by the total prior period revenue from advertiser customers, excluding a portion of our revenues that cannot be allocated to specific advertiser customers.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we generated 90% and 92% of our revenue, respectively, from advertiser customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we generated 90% and 91% of our revenue, respectively, from advertiser customers. Advertisers can purchase our solutions through programmatic, social media and CTV platforms to evaluate the quality of ad inventories before they are purchased, which we track as Activation revenue. Advertisers can also purchase our solutions to measure the quality and performance of ads after they are purchased directly or programmatically from digital properties, including publishers, social media and CTV platforms, which we track as Measurement revenue. We generate the majority of our revenue from advertisers by charging a Measured Transaction Fee based on the volume of Media Transactions Measured on behalf of our customers. We recognize revenue from advertisers in the period in which we provide our measurement and activation solutions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we generated 10% and 8% of our revenue, respectively, from supply-side customers who use our data analytics to validate the quality of their ad inventory and provide data to their customers to facilitate targeting and purchasing of digital ads, which we refer to as Supply-side revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, Supply-side revenue comprised 10% and 9% of our revenue, respectively. We generate revenue for certain supply-side arrangements that include minimum guaranteed fees that reset monthly and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the access period, which is usually twelve months. For contracts that contain overages, once the minimum guaranteed amount is achieved, overages are recognized as earned over time based on a tiered pricing structure.

The following table disaggregates revenue between advertiser customers, where revenue is primarily generated based on the number of ads measured and purchased for Activation or measured for Measurement, and Supply-side, where revenue is generated based on contracts with minimum guarantees or contracts that contain overages after minimum guarantees are achieved.

Overhead costs such as information technology infrastructure, rent and occupancy charges are allocated based on headcount. Product development expenses are expensed as incurred, except to the extent that such costs are associated with software development that qualifies for capitalization, which are then recorded as capitalized software development costs included in Property, plant and equipment, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized software development costs are amortized to depreciation and amortization.

*Sales, marketing, and customer support.* Sales, marketing, and customer support expenses consist primarily of personnel costs directly associated with sales, marketing, and customer support departments, including salaries, bonuses, commissions, stock-based compensation and benefits, and allocated overhead. Overhead costs such as information technology infrastructure, rent and occupancy charges are allocated based on headcount.

Total revenue increased by $76.5 million, or 16%, from $466.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $542.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Total Advertiser revenue increased by $15.3 million, or 10%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The growth was driven primarily by an 12% increase in Media Transactions Measured, partially offset by a 4% decrease in Measured Transaction Fees, excluding the impact of an introductory fixed fee deal for one large customer. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total Advertiser revenue increased by $64.8 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2024. The growth was driven primarily by a 17% increase in Media Transactions Measured, partially offset by a 3% decrease in Measured Transaction Fees, excluding the impact of an introductory fixed fee deal for one large customer.

Activation revenue increased by $9.9 million, or 10%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by greater adoption of Authentic Brand Suitability, core programmatic solutions and social media solutions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Activation revenue increased by $47.2 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the same factors.

Measurement revenue increased $5.4 million, or 9%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, driven primarily by greater adoption of social and CTV solutions, as well as the addition of Rockerbox, Inc. ("Rockerbox"). For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Measurement revenue increased by $17.6 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the same factors.

Supply-side revenue increased $3.8 million, or 27%, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, driven primarily by growth from both existing and new platform customers, as well as the addition of new publisher customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Supply-side revenue increased by $11.7 million, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the same factors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown below)***

Cost of revenue increased by $4.0 million, or 14%, from $29.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $33.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to growth in Activation revenue which led to increased partner costs from revenue-sharing arrangements, as well as higher data services and hosting expenses due to increased volume. Cost of revenue increased by $15.4 million, or 19%, from $82.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $97.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by the same factors.

***Product Development Expenses***

Product development expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 14%, from $39.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $44.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, of $4.3 million and an increase in third party software costs and outsourced consulting and engineering services of $0.5 million to support our product development efforts. Product development expenses increased by $21.3 million, or 18%, from $115.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $136.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, of $16.8 million and an increase in third party software costs and outsourced consulting and engineering services of $2.6 million to support our product development efforts.

***Sales, Marketing and Customer Support Expenses***

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses increased by $6.5 million, or 16%, from $40.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $47.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation and sales commissions, of $4.7 million, and an increase in third party professional fees to support marketing and sales activities of $0.3 million. Sales, marketing and customer support expenses increased by $18.3 million, or 15%, from $123.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $141.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation and sales commissions, of $15.4 million, and an increase in third party professional fees to support marketing and sales activities of $1.2 million.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 17%, from $23.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $27.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to a $4.1 million increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, $2.2 million in third party legal fees related to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in third party professional fees and a $1.7 million decrease in bad debt expenses related to collection activities. General and administrative expenses increased by $14.9 million, or 22%, from $68.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $83.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was largely attributable to a $9.0 million increase in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, a $2.9 million increase in third party professional fees, $1.7 million of third party professional services related to the acquisition of Rockerbox and our broader acquisition strategy, and $3.3 million of third party legal fees related to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in bad debt expenses related to collection activities.

#### Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.7 million, or 32%, from $11.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $15.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to higher amortization of internally developed software and amortization of acquired intangibles from Rockerbox. Depreciation and amortization increased by $8.9 million, or 27%, from $33.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $42.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by the same factors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $0.1 million, from $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. Interest expense increased by $0.5 million, from $0.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

#### Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net changed by $4.3 million, from income of $4.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to expense of $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change was due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and to losses from changes in foreign exchange rates. Other expense (income), net changed by $3.4 million, from income of $8.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to income of $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, partially offset by gains from changes in foreign exchange rates.

#### Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased by $1.1 million from $11.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $10.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to reduced pre-tax earnings in the three months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by increased unfavorable permanent tax adjustments, including non-deductible executive compensation and stock-based compensation. Income tax expense increased by $5.4 million from $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $23.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase in unfavorable permanent tax adjustments, including non-deductible executive compensation and stock-based compensation.

#### Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) M&A and restructuring costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consist of third party professional service costs related to the acquisition of Rockerbox and to our broader acquisition strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Offering and secondary offering costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consist of third party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Other costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consist of expenses incurred with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course and costs related to the early termination of an office lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Other expense (income) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 consist of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

● they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

● Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

● they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;

● they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and

● although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations are financed primarily through cash generated from operations. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $200.7 million and net working capital, consisting of current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities, of $156.3 million.

We believe existing cash and cash generated from operations, together with the $200.0 million undrawn balance under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, will be sufficient to meet future working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures, share repurchase programs and acquisitions on a short-term and long-term basis.

Our total future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those discussed above as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### Debt Obligations
On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement providing for the New Revolving Credit Facility with available borrowings of $200.0 million, which matures on the Revolving Termination Date. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company is entitled to request incremental facilities (including term, revolving and/or letter of credit facilities). The New Revolving Credit Facility replaces in full the Company's Prior Revolving Credit Facility.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

All obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement. The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on, among other things: paying dividends or purchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock applicable to the Credit Group; granting liens; incurring or guaranteeing additional debt; making investments and acquisitions; entering into transactions with affiliates; entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation or disposing of all or substantially all property or business; and disposing of property, including issuing capital stock.

The New Revolving Credit Facility also requires us to remain in compliance with certain financial ratios. The Borrower was in compliance with all covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025.

#### Repurchase Programs
On May 16, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). On November 6, 2024, the Company announced that the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "New Repurchase Program"). Both programs allow the Company to repurchase for cash from time to time shares of its common stock through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 plans, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. Neither program obligates the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Repurchases under the Repurchase Program commenced in June 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 6.8 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $128.0 million under the Repurchase Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased an additional 1.1 million shares for $22.2 million, utilizing the remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program.

Repurchases under the New Repurchase Program commenced in March 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $60.0 million under the New Repurchase Program. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $50.1 million under the New Repurchase Program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 8.4 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $132.3 million under both repurchase programs. As of September 30, 2025, $90.0 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under the New Repurchase Program.

#### Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations and by changes in our working capital. In particular, trade receivables increase in conjunction with our rapid growth in sales and decrease based on timing of cash receipts from our customers. The timing of payments of trade payables also impacts our cash flows from operating activities. We typically pay suppliers in advance of collections from our customers. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $138.5 million, attributable to net income of $21.3 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $147.4 million and $30.2 million use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $42.3 million in depreciation and amortization and $78.7 million in stock-based compensation. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $11.6 million decrease in trade receivables, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $36.8 million due mainly to increases in prepayments, and a $5.0 million decrease in trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily related to the timing of income tax payments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $122.3 million, attributable to net income of $32.8 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $93.8 million and $4.3 million use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $33.4 million in depreciation and amortization and $67.9 million in stock-based compensation, offset by $17.3 million in deferred taxes. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $12.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets due mainly to increases in prepayments, offset by a decrease in trade receivables of $10.3 million, and a $2.1 million decrease in trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily related to the timing of income tax payments.

#### Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $93.8 million, including $82.6 million attributable to the acquisition of Rockerbox, $28.0 million attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized software development costs, partially offset by $17.8 million attributable to proceeds from maturities of short-term financial instruments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $69.5 million, including $81.9 million attributable to investments in short-term financial instruments and $19.8 million attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized software development costs, partially offset by $32.2 million attributable to proceeds from the maturity of short-term financial instruments.

#### Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities of $140.8 million was due primarily to $132.3 million related to shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program and New Repurchase Program and $7.1 million related to shares repurchased for settlement of employee tax withholding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities of $50.3 million was primarily due to $50.1 million related to shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program.

#### Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the dates of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and any such differences may be material.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Some of the judgments that management makes in applying its accounting estimates in these areas are discussed in Note 2 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Since the date of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

**Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

Market risks at September 30, 2025 have not materially changed from those discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures** 

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding its required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

*Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures*

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future conditions. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

**PART II — OTHER INFORMATION**

***Item 1. Legal Proceedings***

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that would, either individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or cash flows. We may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The outcome of legal proceedings is unpredictable and may have an adverse impact on our business or financial condition.

**Securities Class Action Lawsuit**: On May 22, 2025, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its current officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, by a plaintiff seeking to represent a class of all persons who purchased the Company's securities between November 10, 2023 and February 27, 2025, alleging violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint alleges that the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information about the Company's business operations. To date, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has not certified a class. On September 26, 2025, the court appointed Electrical Workers Pension Fund, Local 103, I.B.E.W. and Teamsters Retirement Pension Plan as lead plaintiffs. The Company carries insurance that is applicable to these claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted and does not believe it is necessary to accrue a litigation reserve at this time.

#### Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

## Exhibit 10.2

**Exhibit 10.2**

**EXECUTIVE SEPARATION AGREEMENT**

This EXECUTIVE SEPARATION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of September 15, 2025 (the "**Effective Date**"), is entered into by and among Julie Eddleman ("**Executive**"), DoubleVerify Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Company**") and solely for purposes of Section 1(c), DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("**Holdings**", and, together with Executive and the Company, the "**Parties**"). Any term capitalized but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive and dated as of January 26, 2021 (the "**Employment Agreement**").

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement;

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have mutually agreed that Executive's employment will terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, to encourage Executive's continued attention and dedication to the business of the Company through the date of her termination, the Company and Holdings agree to provide certain payments and benefits to Executive under the circumstances described herein; and

WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and Executive have executed a Consulting Agreement (the "**Consulting Agreement**"), pursuant to which Executive will provide advisory services as an independent consultant to the Company following the Termination Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Transition and Separation Benefits**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Through December 31, 2025 (the "**Termination Date**"), Executive will continue to serve as the Company's Executive Vice President and Global Chief Commercial Officer on a full-time basis at Executive's current Base Salary. Effective as of the Termination Date, Executive will resign as, and will no longer serve as, the Company's Executive Vice President and Global Chief Commercial Officer and Executive's employment with the Company shall cease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Executive's termination of employment on the Termination Date will, for purposes of Section 4.02 of the Employment Agreement, be deemed to be a termination by mutual agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)For the avoidance of doubt, Holdings and Executive acknowledge and agree that Executive's continued service through the Term (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) shall constitute her continued "Service" for purposes of the vesting of the (1) restricted stock units pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of December 10, 2021, (2) stock options pursuant to the Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement effective as of December 10, 2021 (the "**2021 Option Agreement**"), (3) restricted stock units pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of December 12, 2022, (4) stock options

------

pursuant to the Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement effective as of December 12, 2022 (together with the 2021 Option Agreement, the "**Option Agreements**"), (5) restricted stock units pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of December 19, 2023, (6) performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of December 19, 2023, (7) restricted stock units pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of March 13, 2025 and (8) performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement effective as of March 13, 2025, each as entered into by and between Holdings and Executive (collectively, the **Equity Agreements**"). Such "Service" shall cease as of the last date of the Term of the Consulting Agreement. For purposes of exercising all or any portion of the Vested Portion (as defined in the Option Agreements), Service shall be deemed terminated by the Participant as of the last date of the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Subject to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall pay to Executive the annual bonus pursuant to the terms of the Company's fiscal year 2025 annual bonus plan at the level accrued by the Company based on actual performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Conditions to Receipt of Benefits; Clawback**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Executive's entitlement to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's reasonably diligent, good faith efforts to perform Executive's duties and transition responsibilities as directed by the Company, through the Termination Date. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the payments and benefits provided to her hereunder, Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances will the entrance into this Agreement, the termination of her employment on the Termination Date or the circumstances surrounding this separation constitute Good Reason for purposes of the Employment Agreement or the Equity Agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Nothing herein shall limit the Company's ability to terminate Executive with Cause at any time. If following the Effective Date and prior to the Termination Date, Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or Executive resigns for any reason, Executive shall forfeit any and all payments and benefits to be provided to her pursuant to Section 1. The Company may, at any time prior to the Termination Date, elect to place Executive on garden leave, and during any period of garden leave the Company may (i) cease to provide work for Executive, or require Executive to perform only such duties, specific projects or tasks expressly assigned to Executive by the Company, and (ii) require Executive to refrain from entering the Company's offices, and contacting employees, customers, suppliers and professional contacts of the Company or any of its affiliates other than in a purely social capacity. Any decision by the Company to place Executive on garden leave shall not be construed or interpreted as a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason or accelerate any obligation to provide Executive with the consideration hereunder. If the Company elects to place Executive on garden leave, Executive will remain a full-time employee of the Company during such period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the expiration of the Restricted Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)By accepting the opportunity to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this Agreement, Executive hereby reaffirms and agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants set

------

forth in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement and the Confidentiality, Unfair Competition, Intellectual Property Assignment and Non-Solicitation Agreement between the Company and Executive dated as of January 7, 2021 (the "**Executive Covenants**"), each of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Executive hereby confirms that Executive is and has been in compliance with all terms and conditions of (i) the Executive Covenants and (ii) the material terms of any other individual written agreement between Executive and the Company and/or any of its affiliates. Executive acknowledges and agrees that she shall be bound by the terms of such covenants in accordance with their terms following any termination of her employment, including if the payments and benefits hereunder are forfeited in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that Executive (i) breaches an Executive Covenant, which breach is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Company delivers written notice to Executive that identifies and describes the alleged breach in reasonable detail, or (ii) brings a claim or suit (or threatens to bring a claim or suit) against the Company, Holdings or any third-party beneficiary of the Release Agreement (as defined below) with respect to a claim she released in Exhibit A, then in addition to any other penalties or restrictions that may apply under any such agreement, applicable law, or otherwise, any payments or benefits being provided to Executive will cease immediately, Executive will not be entitled to any further compensation from the Company or Holdings, and all payments and benefits provided to Executive hereunder shall be subject to forfeiture, clawback and offset, and Executive shall be required to repay any such amounts to the Company previously received by him.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Executive shall not be entitled to receive the benefits set forth in Section 1 herein unless and until Executive has executed a general release of claims in favor of Holdings, the Company and each of their respective affiliates in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> (the "**Release Agreement**"), which release must be executed and become irrevocable by Executive within twenty-eight (28) days following the Effective Date. Furthermore, in order to receive the additional vesting benefits set forth in Section 1(c) of this Agreement, Executive must execute a reaffirmation of the Release Agreement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>, which reaffirmation must be executed and become irrevocable by Executive within twenty-eight (28) days following the Termination Date (or, if sooner, the first day on which Executive commences garden leave as contemplated by Section 2(b)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Company Property</u>. Executive hereby agrees to promptly (and in no event later than five days following the Company's request therefor) return to the Company any and all property, tangible or intangible, relating to its business, which Executive possesses or has control over at any time (including, but not limited to, company-provided credit cards, building or office access cards, keys, computer equipment, manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base and other data) and that, following such Company request, Executive shall not retain any copies, compilations, extracts, excerpts, summaries or other notes of any such manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base or other data; provided Executive retain her laptop after the Company has, to its reasonable satisfaction, removed all Company files from it. Executive also agrees to allow the Company to review, within reason and subject to reasonable supervision, any personal electronic devices that previously contained Company email or documents and to allow them to wipe any Company files from those devices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding the Consulting Agreement, following the Termination Date and until the first anniversary of the Termination Date, Executive shall make herself reasonably

------

available by telephone or via electronic mail (the manner depending on the demands of the specific projects) to consult, advise and assist in connection with such Company matters as may be requested by senior management of the Company. Any such cooperation required from Executive shall be reasonable and shall take into account any responsibilities to which Executive is subject pursuant to subsequent employment or otherwise and any policies of any employer of Executive at the time of such request (including conflict of interest policies). Furthermore, following the Termination Date, Executive shall furnish such information and assistance to the Company as may be reasonably required by the Company in connection with any legal matters or litigation that may arise relating to issues or matters of which Executive had knowledge during her employment with the Company; provided Executive shall not be required provide such information or assistance if to do so would require her to waive a legal privilege or would be adverse to her current business partners' or employer's business interests, in each case unless required by court order or subpoena. The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Executive in connection with providing this information and assistance.
