Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2026

• We believe the best things in life happen offline, and as the world becomes increasingly digitized, we expect demand to grow for in-person experiences and for the digital pathways consumers use to discover and book them.
• We plan to grow our revenue by building long-term relationships with local merchants to strengthen our online selection and by enhancing the customer reach through experience curation and improved convenience in order to drive customer demand and purchase frequency.
• We believe the next generation of local commerce will be driven by AI-native experiences, for which AI agents will become an important discovery and transaction channel.
• We are investing in AI-native capabilities on both sides of our marketplace, including personalization, AI ready search and relevance, AI ready checkout for consumers, and AI driven tools intended to improve deal creation, content quality, and merchant productivity.
• In the first quarter of 2026, we launched Project Foundry, a company-wide initiative to transform our operating model by embedding AI agents into the core of every function.
• The impact of this initiative on our key operating and financial metrics is not yet determinable, and we expect Foundry to influence how we operate over the remainder of 2026 and in future periods.
• We expect our organization to be AI-native by default by the end of 2026, meaning that AI is the default way our teams get work done, and our focus is now shifting to deploying AI agents that work alongside our teams.
• As part of Project Foundry and the Company’s strategy to become an AI-native company, management is evaluating a range of operational initiatives to better align the Company’s cost structure with this AI-native operating model, improve its operational efficiency and become more nimble, and position the Company for growth.
• As the Company implements Project Foundry, management expects to continue to evaluate additional material cost-reduction and automation actions, including headcount reductions through natural attrition, elective decisions to eliminate vacant positions rather than rehire and other actions.
• The Company expects any such actions to be completed by the end of 2027.
• In connection with these actions, we expect to record total pre-tax charges of $7.0 million to $10.0 million.
• The Company expects to realize up to $10.0 million of gross savings in 2026 with all of these savings reinvested into marketing, AI infrastructure, and talent density.
