About Nerdy
We believe that improving yourself is a brave and noble goal and that asking for help is a sign of strength - the first step on your journey towards the very best version of yourself. We believe that innovative technology can make all the difference. At Nerdy, we are aiming to seamlessly connect Experts and Learners in any subject, anywhere, anytime and to make learning more personalized and accessible.
For all of the advances in technology over the first 20 years of the 21st century, learning and education have continued to lag other consumer driven industries. Learning has remained rooted in predominantly brick- and-mortar offline solutions oriented around teaching to the average and not the individual. Every day, millions of students and professional Learners in our country struggle to get the help they need to master the subjects they are attempting to learn. Whether it is seeking help understanding algebra, chemistry, learning to code, studying for a nursing exam or attempting to comprehend thousands of other topics, Learners are increasingly looking for help to supplement their in-classroom education or on-the-job training. We created Nerdy to help these Learners get the help they need from the Experts who are most qualified to provide the assistance.
Advances in technology over the last 20 years created a foundation for innovation. That foundation, coupled with significant advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, have now made it possible for Nerdy to deliver an exceptional, personalized learning experience online at scale and to do so with higher quality, more convenience and lower costs.
Our direct-to-consumer platform allows people to learn how they want, when they want, where they want, and what they want.
Weve scaled a learning experience for both Learners and Experts that is effective, engaging, and convenient. We believe that each Learner deserves an experience that is as unique as they are. To deliver on this, we offer a wide range of subjects on our platform - were at 3,000 and counting - and we deliver personalized learning across multiple learning formats including one-on-one instruction, small group classes, large group classes, and adaptive self-study.
Q1 Earnings Release 2021 | 5 |
Finding the exact right Expert to meet the specific and unique needs of a Learner is a critical driver of having a successful learning experience and has a profound impact on Learner satisfaction. Our technology platform identifies and curates the top Experts in every subject, then matches Learners to the most qualified Experts to help them learn.
We use machine learning to select the ideal Expert for a given Learners needs, taking into account more than 100 variables, including Learner and Expert attributes, adaptive diagnostic assessments, and data from past learning experiences. We believe quality matching is a key differentiator for Nerdy, something legacy offline models and online directories struggle to do well. The result is an exceptional experience for Learners.

We believe that inefficiencies in traditional in-person learning models have created a significant opportunity for online learning. Online learning enables opportunities and capabilities that are simply not possible in the offline world. In an online world, there are no geographic constraints to limit the ability to find the right Expert for a Learners specific needs, allowing Learners to find the perfect person to help, in seconds instead of days or weeks. In an online world, it now becomes possible to digitally enhance the actual delivery of live learning through technology in a way simply not possible in the offline world. Learners can also receive the help they need from any location, improving access for all. We believe that we are fundamentally transforming how knowledge is exchanged across the entirety of the learning lifecycle.

A Note on COVID-19
In the past year, weve seen COVID-19 accelerate the long-term trend of offline to online learning, as more and more consumers realize the accessibility and superiority of the online learning experience vs. antiquated in-person alternatives. We believe we stand to gain disproportionately from this powerful trend in the years to come. In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting closure of schools and testing centers created short-term challenges for our business. Many schools went to optional grading, and standardized and professional exams were suspended, which reduced demand for supplemental learning. We leaned into product evolution and completed our long-term transition to delivering live instruction 100% online in April 2020, a goal we had been working toward since first launching our online platform in 2014. We invested in our product capabilities to innovate our way through the short-term challenges, including bringing together what had been multiple disparate learning formats we were building into a single cohesive destination that allowed us to extend and strengthen the extent to which we can help Learners beyond what was capable solely in a one-on-one environment.
Our investments in innovation during COVID-19 enabled us to hit key financial milestones we had established for the Company, including improving our unit-level economics and demonstrating we could be self-sustaining. We believe these trends will continue as the COVID-19 impact diminishes. While we closed our in-person business in 2020, the momentum in our one-on-one online business combined with the successful release of several new learning formats and investments in brand awareness have delivered strong and durable growth. Our online revenues increased $17.2 million to $34.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of 100% year-over-year.
We are encouraged by the rate of vaccine distribution, the anticipated return to a new normal, and the positive impact we anticipate these factors may have on our business. We see this in our Active Learner growth and engagement growth which are exceeding our expectations, and are accelerating vs. the growth we saw in Q4.
Re-opening has led to growth in inquiries for Nerdy solutions, and is expected to serve as a catalyst throughout the remainder of the year. Growth in open states has increased at higher rates than states that have remained largely closed and are still predominantly using online or hybrid learning.

Investments in Growth
With strong unit economics and multiple growth vectors to pursue, we are increasing our investments in product, technology, and marketing to further fuel growth. We plan to continue to improve our customer experience and deliver personalized learning at scale. We are continuing to expand our platform to more subjects, like Professional, to reach new untapped audiences. We intend to accelerate the expansion of our multi-format strategy to improve the customer experience and extend our reach. We plan to experiment with new marketing channels and expand the frequency of celebrity-taught live, large group classes to build brand awareness, trust, and credibility.
Financial Discussion
We are excited to report first quarter results that reflect strong and accelerating top line growth. Active Learners, a key performance metric that drives revenue, continued to improve year-over-year as Learners increasingly adopted our multi-format approach to delivering personalized learning.
Revenue
We successfully launched and scaled several new products and increased brand awareness over the last year, delivering 100% growth in online revenue year-over-year. Total revenue for Q1 2021 was $34.6 million, up 50% from $23.0 million in Q1 2020, driven by strong Learner and engagement growth. Active Learners increased to 47K during Q1 2021, up 67% from 28K in Q1 2020.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased to 68% in Q1 2021 from 63% in Q1 2020, an increase of more than 440 basis points. Margin expansion for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by the transition to delivering instruction 100% online, coupled with increased adoption of our paid small group classes offering.
Q1 Earnings Release 2021 | 9 |
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for Q1 2021 were $14.6 million, up $4.4 million from $10.2 million in Q1 2020. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were 42% during Q1 2021 down from 44% of revenue in Q1 2020. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we gained considerable operating leverage in our sales expenses through the utilization of automation and AI to streamline our consultative sales organization. We deliberately reinvested the sales cost savings into launching new marketing vehicles, including StarCourses, our free celebrity-led live large group classes, and television advertising to drive brand awareness and reach.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for Q1 2021 were $13.2 million, up $2.1 million from $11.2 million in Q1 2020. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 38% during Q1 2021 compared to 49% of revenue in Q1 2020, demonstrating the scalability of our platform. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the transition to delivering live learning 100% online lowered support-related expenses as the Company increased leverage through the use of automation and AI across the curation and matching layers of our platform. The Company was also able to drive significant operating leverage across office expenses, as we became a remote-first company. Partially offsetting these savings were investments in engineering, product and design headcount to help drive the development of new products and services, or that enhance existing products and services. Accounting and legal expenses of $2.0 million related to our proposed business combination with TPG Pace Tech Opportunities Corp. (PACE) were recorded in Q1 2021. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase for the foreseeable future as we grow our business, as well as cover the additional costs and expenses associated with being a publicly listed company.
Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA (Loss)
Net loss in Q1 2021 was $5.7 million, compared to a net loss of $8.0 million in Q1 2020, an improvement of $2.3 million year-over-year.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.3 million in Q1 2021 compared to a non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.0 million in Q1 2020. Adjusted EBITDA loss is defined as net income or net loss, as applicable, before net interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash compensation expense, and transaction related costs. See the table below for a reconciliation to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Improvements in non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA were driven primarily by increased gross profit and operating leverage.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, the Companys principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $25.6 million, as well as amounts available under the Companys Loan and Security Agreement (LSA). The Companys principal short-term financing needs consist of working capital requirements and debt service obligations on the LSA and a promissory note.
Financial Outlook
The year is off to a strong start as adoption of our multi-format approach to delivering personalized learning continues to resonate with Learners. Our Active Learner growth and engagement growth are exceeding our expectations. We expect that as we continue to shift to a higher proportion of small group classes that it will be additive to gross margins. With the expected proceeds from our proposed business combination with TPG Pace Tech Opportunities Corp. (the Transaction), we expect to make significant growth investments in marketing to drive awareness and capture market share for the foreseeable future. We also plan to invest across engineering, product and design to ensure we remain on the forefront of innovation to help grow our business.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted EBITDA (loss). Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is defined as net income or net loss, as applicable, before net interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash compensation expense, and transaction related costs. Non-GAAP measures are in addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales, net income, operating income, cash flows from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information. The Companys management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Companys operating performance, its trends and to compare it against the performance of other companies. There are, however, a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. See the table above regarding the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Active Learners is defined as the unique number of Learners attending a paid online one-on-one instruction or a paid online class in a given period. An increase or decrease in the number of Active Learners is a key indicator of our ability to attract and engage Learners.
