Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, regarding Leafly Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) future financial performance, as well as the Company’s strategy, future operations, future operating results, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” and “continue” or similar words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

•discuss future expectations;

•contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

•state other “forward-looking” information.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to federal securities laws with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, the Company undertakes no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There may be events in the future that the Company is not able to predict accurately or over which it has no control. The section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2021 entitled “Risk Factors,” and the section of this Quarterly Report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other cautionary language discussed in this report provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by the Company in such forward-looking statements. These examples include:

•the Company’s inability to raise sufficient capital to execute its business plan;

•the size, demands and growth potential of the markets for the Company’s products and services and the Company’s ability to serve those markets;

•the impact of worldwide economic conditions, including the resulting effect on consumer spending at local businesses and the level of advertising spending by local businesses;

•the degree of market acceptance and adoption of the Company’s products and services;

•the Company’s ability to attract and retain customers;

•the Company’s ability to raise financing in the future;

•the Company’s success in retaining or recruiting officers, key employees or directors;

•the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment, including compliance with restrictions imposed by federal law; and

•factors relating to the business, operations and financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1 — Description of the Business and Merger Transaction

Description of the Business

Leafly Holdings, Inc. (“Leafly” or “the Company”) is a leading online cannabis discovery marketplace and resource for cannabis consumers. Leafly provides an information resource platform with a deep library of content, including detailed information about cannabis strains, retailers and current events. Leafly was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 20, 2019 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Leafly Canada Ltd. (“Leafly Canada”) and Leafly, LLC (“Legacy Leafly”). Legacy Leafly is the accounting predecessor of Leafly. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Merger with Merida

On February 4, 2022, Leafly consummated the previously announced Mergers and related transactions (collectively, the “Merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 9, 2021 and amended on September 8, 2021 and on January 11, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Legacy Leafly (formerly known as Leafly Holdings, Inc.) entered into the Merger Agreement with Merida Merger Corp. I (“Merida”), Merida Merger Sub, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Merger Sub I”), Merida Merger Sub II, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”). Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Leafly, with Legacy Leafly surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merida, and following the initial Merger and as part of a single integrated transaction with the initial Merger, Legacy Leafly merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merida. As a result of these Mergers, Legacy Leafly became a wholly owned subsidiary of Merida and was renamed Leafly, LLC, Merida was renamed Leafly Holdings, Inc. (“New Leafly”), and the securityholders of Legacy Leafly became security holders of Merida. We sometimes refer to the Mergers described above and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other agreements being entered into by Merida and Legacy Leafly in connection with the Mergers as the “Business Combination” and to Merida following the Business Combination as “New Leafly.”

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is Merida, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Legacy Leafly is the accounting acquirer with the Merger accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Leafly. Under this accounting method, Merida is treated as the “acquired” company and Legacy Leafly is the accounting acquirer, with the transaction treated as a recapitalization of Legacy Leafly. Merida’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with Legacy Leafly’s beginning on the date of the Business Combination. Except for certain derivative liabilities, the assets and liabilities of Merida were recognized at historical cost (which is consistent with carrying value) and were not material, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The derivative liabilities, which are discussed in Notes 12 and 13, were recorded at fair value. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Legacy Leafly became the historical financial statements, and operations prior to the closing of the Business Combination presented for comparative purposes are those of Legacy Leafly. Pre-Merger shares of common stock and preferred stock were converted to shares of common stock of the combined company using the conversion ratio of 0.3283 and for comparative purposes, the shares and net loss per share of Legacy Leafly, prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated using the conversion ratio.

The following table provides a summary of the significant sources and uses of cash related to the closing of the Business Combination on February 4, 2022 and the cash received from escrow through June 30, 2022:

Amount in Merida's trust account ("the Trust") at closing						$	90,824
Total payment to Merida public redeeming stockholders						49,466
Amount available after paying Merida redeeming stockholders						41,358
Cash to escrow for Forward Share Purchase Agreements (see Note 13)						39,032
Remaining balance						2,326
Merida expenses paid from the Trust at closing						1,744
Net cash from the Trust to Leafly at closing						582
Cash received from escrow February 4, 2022 - June 30, 2022						7,369
Net cash from the Trust to Leafly as of June 30, 2022						$	7,951

The following table provides a reconciliation of the common shares related to the Merger transaction:

Merida public stockholders						4,160
Merida initial stockholders (including Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital)						1,667
Holders of 2022 Notes (see Note 11)						38
Shares held by Sponsor in escrow that are subject to earn-out conditions (see Note 12)						1,625
Total Merida						7,490
Legacy Leafly existing securityholders						35,434
Total shares outstanding as of February 4, 2022						42,924

All shares in this table, except the Merida public stockholders and Holders of 2022 Notes shares, were subject to restrictions as to trading through August 3, 2022 ("Lock Up Restrictions").

NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Leafly for the year ended December 31, 2021, each of which was filed on the company’s Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Financial Information”).

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in management's opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring estimates and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows, operating results, and balance sheets for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net income (loss).

Seasonality

We may experience seasonality in our business, which we believe has moderate impacts on our overall revenue. In certain years, we've seen seasonal fluctuations that coincide with either federal holidays, generally in the fourth quarter, or industry holidays and events, generally in the spring. Our industry and business history is limited and therefore we can't be certain that these are known trends or that other trends may develop.

8

---

Emerging Growth Company Status

Leafly is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period. In providing this relief, the JOBS Act does not preclude the Company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies. Leafly will continue to use this relief until the earlier of the date that it (a) is no longer an emerging growth company or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2021 Financial Information, which describes the Company's significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. However, certain items became material during the periods presented and therefore, we have disclosed the related accounting policies below. In addition, as a result of the Business Combination, the Company entered into certain derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities. These instruments and the related accounting are discussed in Notes 12, 13, and 20.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to acquisition and development of software for internal use, including internal labor costs incurred during development. The Company begins to capitalize these costs when planning and design efforts are successfully completed and development is ready to commence. Costs incurred during planning and design, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expense. The Company places capitalized software assets into service and commences amortization when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once placed into service, the Company capitalizes qualifying costs of specified upgrades or enhancements to the assets when the upgrade or enhancement will result in new or additional functionality.

The Company’s estimated useful life for capitalized software is 3 years, and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method. The Company considers the useful life of capitalized software to be a significant estimate.

Transaction Costs

The Company incurred significant costs direct and incremental to the Business Combination and therefore to the recapitalization of the Company. We deferred such costs incurred in 2021. In 2022, upon closing of the Business Combination, total direct transaction costs were allocated between equity and liability instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis that were newly issued in the recapitalization. Amounts allocated to equity were recorded to additional paid-in capital, while amounts allocated to the specified liabilities were recorded as other expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As a result of the elected JOBS Act relief discussed above, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to other companies that do not elect JOBS Act relief or choose to adopt certain accounting pronouncements during a different period than the Company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

None.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The June 30, 2022 restricted cash balance includes $31,663 of cash maintained in escrow related to Forward Share Purchase Agreements ("FPAs"). The cash is released upon: (i) sale of the underlying shares by the FPA-holding stockholders into the open market, thus relieving Leafly of its contingent liability to repurchase the respective shares, in which case the cash is released to Leafly; or (ii) the FPA-holding stockholders exercising their rights to put the respective shares to Leafly, in which case the cash is released to the FPA holders. Additional information regarding the FPAs is included in Notes 13 and 20.

Effective August 1, 2022, the FPA holders elected to have Leafly repurchase their remaining shares covered by the FPAs. Additional information is included in Note 21.

NOTE 7 — Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

			June 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
Accrued bonuses			$	1,170					$	3,668

The Company offers an annual incentive program for its executive officers whereby they are eligible to receive target bonus payouts, of up to 50% for the CEO and 40% for other executive officers, of their base salary, with the actual bonus awarded based on a number of factors, including each executive’s individual performance, Leafly’s performance, current market and business climate, and Leafly’s financial circumstances, as determined by the Leafly board of directors.

NOTE 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may receive inquiries or become involved in legal disputes regarding various litigation matters. In the opinion of management, any potential liabilities resulting from such claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues recognized at a point in time are associated with branded content and channel advertising. There are no material variations in delivery and revenue recognition periods within the over time category.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company has received consideration, or has the right to receive consideration, in advance of transferring the performance obligations under the contract to the customer.

The following table presents the Company's deferred revenue accounts and changes in the deferred revenue accounts

NOTE 10 — Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the Company’s full valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company’s federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforward was $53,904, $35,976 and $4,303, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue code. Such a limitation could result in limitation in the use of the net operating losses in future years and possibly a reduction of the net operating losses available.

NOTE 11 — Convertible Promissory Notes

2022 Notes

Merida entered into a $30,000 convertible note purchase agreement in January 2022, which Legacy Leafly subsequently guaranteed and joined as a party to the agreement on February 4, 2022 in connection with the Business Combination (the “2022 Notes”). Accordingly, post-Business Combination, the 2022 Notes are presented as a liability on Leafly's balance sheet, net of debt issuance costs and debt discount. The Company recognized debt issuance costs of $714 paid in cash, and a debt discount of $924 paid in shares transferred by the Sponsor to the holders of the 2022 Notes upon issuance. The 2022 Notes bear interest at 8% annually, paid in cash semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, and mature on January 31, 2025.

The 2022 Notes are unsecured convertible senior notes due 2025. They are convertible at the option of the holders at any time before maturity at an initial conversion share price of $12.50. In addition, the Company may, at its election, force the conversion of the 2022 Notes on or after January 31, 2024, if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $18.00 for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Company also has the option, on or after January 31, 2023 and prior to the 40th trading day immediately before the maturity date and subject to the holders’ ability to optionally convert, to redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The holders of the 2022 Notes have the right to cause the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2022 Notes held by such holder upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined) or in connection with certain asset sales, in each case at a price equal to 100% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

As of June 30, 2022, the net carrying amount of the 2022 Notes was $28,590, which includes unamortized issuance costs and debt discount of $1,410. The estimated fair value of the convertible debt instruments was approximately $27,500 as of June 30, 2022. The fair value was measured using a combination of an income approach and Black-Scholes model, both of which are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

2021 Notes

Legacy Leafly issued a series of convertible promissory notes in June 2021 totaling approximately $23,970. In August 2021, Legacy Leafly issued additional convertible promissory notes totaling $7,500 to Merida Capital, an affiliate of Merida. (Both note issuances are collectively referred to below as the “2021 Notes”).

The 2021 Notes bore interest at 8% annually and were considered traditional convertible debt with the entire amount recognized as a liability (with no amount allocated to equity), reduced for direct issuance costs, with initial and subsequent recognition at amortized cost in accordance with the interest method. Unless converted, the entire balance of principal and accrued but unpaid interest was due on December 3, 2022. The 2021 Notes were contingently convertible upon the occurrence of certain events, to include a qualified financing, a non-qualified financing, or in a qualified public transaction.

On February 4, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the 2021 Notes were converted to approximately 4,128 shares of Leafly common stock at the conversion price of approximately $2.63, which was 80% of the implied price per share of common stock in the Business Combination. Upon closing of the Business Combination, the shares of common

13

---

stock then converted to shares of common stock of the combined company using the conversion ratio of 0.3283, which was used for conversion of all Leafy securities.

NOTE 12 — Stockholders’ Equity

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity reflect the reverse recapitalization on February 4, 2022, as discussed in Note 1. Since the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction, all periods presented prior to consummation of the transaction reflect the historical activity and balances of Leafly, Inc. (other than common and preferred stock and potentially issuable shares underlying stock options and convertible promissory notes, which have been retroactively restated).

Common Stock

On February 4, 2022, the Business Combination was consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Leafly's capital stock consisted of Series A preferred stock and common stock. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock converted to shares of nonredeemable common stock.

As of June 30, 2022 Leafly's authorized capital stock consisted of:

•200,000 shares of Leafly common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; and

•5,000 shares of Leafly preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

Voting Rights

The holders of Leafly common stock exclusively possess all stockholder voting power with respect to Leafly, except as otherwise required by law or the Company's charter. Holders of Leafly common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter properly submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Leafly common stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or the charter. If Leafly has multiple classes of common stock in the future, then Delaware law could require holders of shares of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:

•if we were to seek to amend the charter to increase or decrease the par value of a class of the capital stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and

•if we were to seek to amend the charter in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences, or special rights of a class of capital stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.

Election of Directors

The charter provides for a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class are subject to election by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. The charter does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Leafly preferred stock, the holders of Leafly common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of Leafly) when, as and if declared by the Leafly board of directors out of any assets or funds legally available and will share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Leafly common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of Leafly, the holders of Leafly common stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining

14

---

assets of Leafly available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Leafly common stock held by them, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding shares of Leafly preferred stock.

Sponsor Shares Subject to Earn-Out Conditions

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Business Combination, 1,625 of the shares held by the Sponsor were placed in escrow and subjected to earn-out conditions ("Escrow Shares"). Of these Escrow Shares, 50% will be released from escrow if and when the Company's common stock trades at or above $13.50 at any time during the two-year period following closing, and the remaining 50% will be released from escrow if and when the Company's common stock trades at or above $15.50 at any time during the three-year period following closing. In addition, all 1,625 Escrow Shares will be released upon a change in control.

We account for the Escrow Shares as derivative liabilities, remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. See Note 20 for additional information.

Lock Up Restrictions

In accordance with various legal documents, the majority of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022 is subject to restrictions on trading through August 3, 2022. See Note 1 for detail on Common Stock subject to Lock Up Restrictions.

Stockholder Earn-Out Rights

Leafly stockholders, as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, were granted upon closing of the Business Combination, contingent rights to receive up to 5,429 shares of common stock (the "Rights") if the Company achieves certain earn-out conditions prior to the third anniversary of the Business Combination. We will account for the Rights as derivative liabilities, which we will remeasure to their current fair value as of the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value recorded to earnings. See Note 20 for additional information.

The Rights will be earned and shares of common stock will be issued as follows:

First Tranche

Up to 2,715 shares will be issued if and when:

•revenue for the year ending December 31, 2022 equals or exceeds $65,000 (first revenue target), or

•the date on which the volume-weighted average price of common stock for a period of at least 20 days out of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination is greater than or equal to $13.50 during the two year period beginning on the trading day after the closing date of the Merger (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to shares of common stock occurring at or after the Closing), or

•a change of control occurs within the two years after the closing date of the Business Combination at the first target price or higher, or

•a pro rata portion of 2,715 shares (50%) if the revenue during the target period meets or exceeds 90% of the first revenue target.

Second Tranche

Up to 2,715 shares will be issued if and when:

•revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023 equals or exceeds $101,000 (second revenue target), or

•the date on which the volume-weighted average price of common stock for a period of at least 20 days out of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of determination is greater than or equal to $15.50 during the three year period beginning on the trading day after the closing date of the Merger (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to shares of common stock occurring at or after the Closing), or

•a change of control occurs within the three years after the closing date of the Business Combination at the second target price or higher, or

15

---

•a pro rata portion of 2,715 (50%) if the revenue during the second target period meets or exceeds 90% of the second revenue target.

If the second revenue or price target is met in full, the respective first target will be deemed to have been met as well if it had not been met during the first period.

Preferred Stock

The Leafly board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, to issue Leafly preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. The Leafly board of directors is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Leafly board of directors is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Leafly preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Leafly common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Leafly board of directors to issue Leafly preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Leafly or the removal of existing management. Leafly did not have any issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 13 — Warrants and Forward Share Purchase Agreements

Public Warrants

As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,501 warrants outstanding that had been included in the units issued in Merida’s initial public offering (the "Public Warrants"). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a merger or (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a merger, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

•if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

•If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

Private Warrants

As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 3,950 warrants outstanding that Merida had sold to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital in a private placement that took place simultaneously with Merida’s initial public offering

16

---

("the Private Warrants"). The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.

We account for the Private Warrants as derivative liabilities, remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in the fair value recorded to earnings. See Note 20 for additional information.

Forward Share Purchase Agreements

In December 2021 and January 2022, the Company entered into four separate FPAs with certain investors. The FPAs allow the investors to sell and transfer common stock held by the investors, not to exceed a total of 4,000 shares in aggregate, to the Company in exchange for cash. The price to be paid by the Company was $10.16 per share for up to 2,600 shares and $10.01 per share for up to 1,400 shares. As required by the FPAs, $39,032 of cash was placed into escrow upon closing of the Business Combination, to be used for the share purchases. If the FPAs were not exercised by the holders within their terms of three months post-Business Combination closing, the associated funds were to be released from escrow to the Company. We account for the FPAs as derivative liabilities, remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in the fair value recorded to earnings.

On May 3, 2022, Leafly and the holders entered into amendments to the FPAs (the “Amended FPAs”). The Amended FPAs modified the price at which the applicable holder has the right, but not the obligation, to have Leafly repurchase certain shares held by the applicable holder as of the closing of the Business Combination and not later sold into the market to a price of $10.16 per share (with respect to 686 of the shares subject to the Amended FPAs) and $10.31 per share (with respect to 2,404 of the shares subject to the Amended FPAs). The Amended FPAs also modified the date by which such holders may elect to have Leafly repurchase their shares to August 1, 2022. In connection with the Amended FPAs, certain amendments were also made to the escrow agreements in respect to the escrow accounts.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $5,403 and $7,369, respectively, was released from the escrow accounts due to the FPA holders selling shares in the open market, which was accordingly reclassified on the Company's balance sheet from restricted cash to cash.

Effective August 1, 2022, the FPA holders elected to have Leafly repurchase all of their remaining shares covered by the FPAs. Additional information is included in Note 21.

NOTE 14 — Equity Incentive Plans

The Company currently has four equity plans: the New Leafly 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the Legacy Leafly 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), the New Leafy Earn Out Plan (“Earn Out Plan”), and the New Leafly 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which are discussed below. There were no options or other equity awards granted under the plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

2021 Plan

The 2021 Plan became effective immediately upon closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, 4,502 shares of common stock are initially reserved for issuance. During the term of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares of common stock thereunder automatically increases on each January 1, commencing on January 1, 2023, and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (i) 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year and (ii) 4,502 shares (adjusted pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan). No awards have been granted under this plan as of the date of this filing.

2018 Plan

The 2018 Plan became effective on April 17, 2018. The 2018 Plan terminated upon closing of the Business Combination in 2022, but then outstanding options under the 2018 Plan remain outstanding pursuant to their terms, with adjustments to the

17

---

number of shares and exercise prices to reflect the terms of the Business Combination. The material terms of the 2018 Plan are:

•Our compensation committee of the board of directors administers the 2018 Plan.

•Options under the 2018 Plan were granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.

•In the event of a merger or other consolidation relating to the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets, all then-outstanding option would be treated as set forth in the agreement governing such transaction.

•With limited exceptions, options under the 2018 Plan are generally non-transferable prior to vesting unless otherwise determined by the plan administrator and are exercisable only by the participant during his or her lifetime.

In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2,191 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share. These stock option grants were issued from the 2018 Plan.

The fair value of each stock option award to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used as inputs to the pricing model for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 (there were no grants made in 2022):

Risk-free interest rate			1.0		%
Expected term in years			5.90
Expected volatility			61.2		%
Expected dividend yield			0.0		%

Stock option activity under the 2018 Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

						Number of Shares						Weighted Average Exercise Price						Aggregate Intrinsic Value						Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Outstanding at January 1, 2022						3,851						$	1.77
Exercised						(114)						1.12
Forfeited or expired						(56)						1.08
Outstanding at March 31, 2022						3,681						$	1.78					$	23,918					8.62
Exercised						(29)						1.05
Forfeited or expired						(3)						2.30
Outstanding at June 30, 2022 1						3,649						$	1.78					$	11,307					8.35
Vested and exercisable						1,454						$	1.00					$	5,094					7.75

1 Includes 2,544, 0, and 1,105 of awards accounted for as service-based, performance-based, and market-based options, respectively, that the Company currently deems probable of vesting. The performance options vest only if gross revenue equals or exceeds certain thresholds for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023, while the market-based options will vest only if the price of the Company's common stock reaches a $1,000,000 market capitalization target for any 20 days during a 30-day period on or before the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Merger.

As of June 30, 2022, there was: (i) $1,597 of unrecognized compensation cost related to service-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service period of approximately 1.39 years; and (ii) $2,117 of unrecognized compensation cost related to market-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service period of approximately 1.78 years.

Earn Out Plan

The Earn Out Plan became effective immediately upon closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Earn Out Plan, approximately 571 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees and certain other eligible parties in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). These RSUs will vest if the Company achieves certain thresholds prior to the third anniversary of the Merger. No RSUs have been awarded under the Earn Out Plan as of June 30, 2022.

Option Modification

Concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination, the vesting provisions of certain stock options previously granted in 2021 to our Chief Executive Officer to purchase 2,917 shares of common stock were modified, and a corresponding charge of $1,366 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to general and administrative expenses and additional paid-in capital. The original award included the following vesting provisions:

•Liquidity Event Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest upon the earlier of (a) the closing of the Initial Public Offering of the Company's common stock or (b) a change in control, provided the recipient remains in continuous service.

•Milestone Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest one-third each upon the achievement of the three annual revenue targets of $75,000, $150,000 and $300,000, provided the recipient remains in continuous service.

The modified vesting provisions are as follows:

•Liquidity Event Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest as follows, provided the recipient remains in continuous service: 50% upon the closing of the Business Combination and 50% upon the earlier of (i) the Company's achievement of a $1,000,000 market capitalization for any 20 days during a 30-day period on or before the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination (the "Market Cap Milestone") or (ii) a change in control.

•Milestone Option: A stock option to purchase 1,458 shares of common stock will vest upon the achievement of the following milestones, provided that the recipient remains in continuous service:

◦First Milestone: 50% of the total number of shares subject to the stock option will vest if the Company's gross revenue for the year ending December 31, 2022 equals or exceeds $65,000. A pro rata amount vests in the event that the Company's gross revenue equals or exceeds 90% of the revenue target.

◦Second Milestone: 50% of the total number of shares subject to the stock option will vest if the Company's gross revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023 equals or exceeds $101,000. A pro rata amount vests in the event that the Company's gross revenue equals or exceeds 90% of the revenue target.

◦In the event the Second Milestone is achieved, any unvested portion of the stock option subject to the First Milestone will fully vest.

◦In the event the Market Cap Milestone is achieved, any unvested portion of the Milestone Option will fully vest.

◦The date of vesting for the Milestone Option will be the earlier of (i) the date following the Company's filing with the SEC of its Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year in which the applicable revenue target was attained or, (ii) the date of the Market Cap Milestone is achieved.

◦All shares subject to the Milestone Option will vest immediately upon a change in control.

◦The Milestone Option will remain outstanding unless and until the last possible time that the Second Milestone can be achieved, the Market Cap Milestone can be achieved, or a change in control may occur during the term of the Milestone Option award, subject to the recipient's continued service.

NOTE 15 — Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective immediately upon closing of the Merger. Pursuant to the ESPP, 1,126 shares of common stock are initially reserved for issuance. During the term of the ESPP, the number of shares of common stock thereunder automatically increases on each January 1, commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (i) 2.5% of the fully diluted shares of common stock as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year and (ii) 1,126 shares (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the ESPP). No employees participate in the ESPP yet as of the date of this filing.

NOTE 16 — Related Party Transactions

One of Leafly's significant investors, Brendan Kennedy, is a member of the board of directors of Tilray, Inc., which is the parent company of High Park Holdings Ltd., a customer of Leafly, and has therefore been identified as a related party. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded approximately $— and $112, respectively, of revenue earned from contracts with this customer, and during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded approximately $— and $114, respectively, of revenue earned from contracts with this customer.

In June 2021, Mr. Kennedy, purchased a convertible promissory note totaling $1,000. The note was issued as part of the existing series of 2021 Notes (see Note 11) and was subject to the same interest rate, maturity, and conversion terms. This note converted to shares of Leafly common stock upon closing of the Business Combination in February 2022, along with the other 2021 Notes.

NOTE 17 – Defined Contribution Plan

The Company recognized expense from matching contributions to the Company-sponsored defined contribution retirement plan of $215 and $218 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the Company recognized $459 and $369 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 18 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company considers its preferred stock to be participating securities. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 1,625 outstanding shares of common stock that are in escrow and subject to earn-out conditions and thus forfeiture, which do not meet the criteria for participating securities (see Note 12 — Stockholders' Equity for additional information). Net income (loss) is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net income (loss) is not attributed to the preferred stock as the holders of the preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of non-participating shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture, stock options, preferred stock, convertible notes, and other securities outstanding. Certain securities are antidilutive and as such, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share and disclosed separately. The Class 1, 2, and 3 common shares presented below have been retroactively restated for all periods using the conversion ratio in connection with the Business Combination.

Geographic Areas

The Company’s operations are primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent, in certain other countries. Refer to Note 9 for revenue classified by major geographic area.

NOTE 20 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at

22

---

the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:    Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which are typically short-term in nature. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis beginning February 4, 2022 (the date of closing of the Business Combination) when the derivative liabilities were assumed, and discloses the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Description						Level						Fair Value at June 30, 2022						Fair Value at March 31, 2022			Fair Value at February 4, 2022			Gain (Loss) Three Months Ended June 31, 20221			Gain (Loss) Six Months Ended June 31, 20221
Private Warrants derivative liability						3						$	3,693					$	7,989		$	3,916		$	4,296		$	223
Forward share purchase agreements derivative liability						3						17,763						7,452			14,170			$	(10,311)		$	(3,593)
Escrow Shares derivative liability						3						3,481						10,129			6,868			$	6,648		$	3,387
Stockholder earn-out rights derivative liability						3						12,147						35,912			26,131			$	23,765		$	13,984
Total												$	37,084					$	61,482		$	51,085		24,397			$	14,000

1 Totals may not foot due to rounding

Assumptions used to determine the fair values are presented in the following sections:

Private Warrants Derivative Liability

The Private Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes model and the following Level 3 inputs:

						June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			February 4, 2022
Exercise price						$	11.50		$	11.50		$	11.50
Stock price						$	4.50		$	8.28		$	6.53
Volatility						51.6%			36.7%			34.3%

Risk-free rate						3.0%			2.4%			1.8%
Dividend yield						0.0%			0.0%			0.0%

The volatility input was calculated using a weighted average of historical volatilities from select benchmark companies and the volatility of the Public Warrants. The term input represents the maximum contractual term, though the Private Warrants may be exercised earlier. The interest rate input is the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate for the instrument that most closely matches the term input.

Forward Share Purchase Agreements Derivative Liability

The FPAs were valued using a Black-Scholes model and the following Level 3 inputs:

						June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			February 4, 2022
Exercise price - one agreement						$	10.31		$	10.16		$	10.16
Exercise price - three agreements						$	10.16		$	10.01		$	10.01
Stock price						$	4.50		$	8.28		$	6.53
Volatility						70.4%			72.6%			63.9%

Risk-free rate						1.3%			0.2%			0.2%
Dividend yield						0.0%			0.0%			0.0%

The volatility input was calculated using a weighted average of historical volatilities from select benchmark companies. The term input represents the maximum contractual term, though the shares underlying the FPAs may be sold by the holders into the open market earlier, which in some cases they have been (see Note 21). The interest rate input is the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate for the instrument that most closely matches the term input.

Escrow Shares Derivative Liability

The Escrow Shares derivative liability was calculated using a binomial lattice model and the following Level 3 inputs:

						June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			February 4, 2022
First stock price trigger						$	13.50		$	13.50		$	13.50
Second stock price trigger						$	15.50		$	15.50		$	15.50
Stock price						$	4.50		$	8.28		$	6.53
Volatility						68.0%			63.0%			64.0%
Term (in years)						2.59			2.85			3.00
Risk-free rate						3.0%			2.4%			1.6%
Dividend yield						0.0%			0.0%			0.0%

The volatility input was calculated using a weighted average of historical volatilities from select benchmark companies. The term input represents the maximum contractual term, though the shares may be released from escrow earlier. The interest rate input is the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate for the instrument that most closely matches the term input.

Stockholder Earn-Out Rights Derivative Liability

The stockholder earn-out rights were valued using a binomial lattice model and the following Level 3 inputs:

						June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			February 4, 2022
First stock price trigger						$	13.50		$	13.50		$	13.50
Second stock price trigger						$	15.50		$	15.50		$	15.50
First revenue trigger						$	65,000		$	65,000		$	65,000
Second revenue trigger						$	101,000		$	101,000		$	101,000
Stock price						$	4.50		$	8.28		$	6.53
2022 Revenue assumption						$	49,500		$	55,500		$	55,500
Volatility						68.0%			63.0%			64.0%
Term (in years)						2.59			2.85			3.00
Risk-free rate						3.0%			2.4%			1.6%
Dividend yield						0.0%			0.0%			0.0%

The revenue assumption input represents the midpoint of revenue guidance the Company has provided. The volatility input was calculated using a weighted average of historical volatilities from select benchmark companies. The term input

24

---

represents the maximum contractual term, though the stockholder earn-out rights may vest earlier. The interest rate input is the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate for the instrument that most closely matches the term input.

NOTE 21 - Subsequent Events

Effective August 1, 2022, the FPA holders elected to have Leafly repurchase their remaining 3,081 shares covered by the FPAs for an aggregate repurchase price of $31,663. As a result, the shares repurchased have been removed from Leafly's outstanding shares effective as of the date of purchase and placed into treasury. The FPA holders elected to have all but $360 disbursed from the escrow account and are able to claim the remainder any time until August 1, 2023. If unclaimed, the remaining funds in escrow will be distributed to the Company.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The MD&A is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to various factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Amounts in this section are presented in thousands, except for per share numbers and percentages.

Merger with Merida

On February 4, 2022, Leafly consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement and became a public company. While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination was Merida, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Leafly is the accounting acquirer with the Business Combination accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Leafly. Under this method, Merida is treated as the “acquired” company and Leafly is the accounting acquirer with the transaction treated as a recapitalization of Leafly.

Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Leafly became the historical financial statements, with Merida’s assets, liabilities and results of operations consolidated with Leafly’s beginning on the Business Combination date. Except for certain derivative liabilities (which were measured at fair value), the assets and liabilities of Merida were recognized at historical cost (which is consistent with carrying value) and were not material, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the closing of the Business Combination presented for comparative purposes below are those of Leafly.

Business Overview

Leafly is a leading online cannabis discovery marketplace and resource for cannabis consumers. Leafly provides an information resource platform with a deep library of content, including detailed information about cannabis strains, retailers and current events. We are a trusted destination to discover legal cannabis products and order them from licensed retailers with offerings that include subscription-based products and digital advertising. Leafly was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Seattle with 259 employees as of June 30, 2022.

Leafly is one of the cannabis industry’s leading marketplaces for brands and retailers to reach one of the largest audiences of consumers interested in cannabis. Our platform includes educational information, strains data, and news, enabling consumers to use Leafly’s content library to have an informed shopping experience. Leafly reduces the friction caused by fragmented regulation of cannabis across North America and offers a compliant digital marketplace that connects cannabis consumers with legal and licensed retailers and brands nearest them.

Leafly allows each shopper to tailor their journey, selecting the store, brand, and cannabis form-factor that appeals to them. Once that shopper builds a basket and is ready to order, our non-plant-touching business model sends that order reservation to the store for payment and fulfillment. By matching stores and shoppers, we deliver value to all constituencies. We monetize our platform primarily through the sale of subscription packages, bundling e-commerce software and advertising solutions, as well as non-subscription-based advertising to retailers and brands. Through the participation on our platform, retailers and brands can reach and engage the millions of average monthly active users ("MAUs") on our platform, one of the largest cannabis-focused audiences in the world.

During the second quarter, we began to see some macro-economic impacts on the business. Our retailer, brands, and multi state operator customers signaled that their advertising budgets are under scrutiny. In addition, we saw a continuation of customer account churn in our less mature markets, which we first observed late in the first quarter. In light of the current macroeconomic environment, we are taking a more conservative view of the second half of the year and are taking steps to manage the business accordingly. We are implementing plans to reduce operating expenses and have implemented a hiring freeze. Our overall strategy remains unchanged. We will focus on maximizing efficiencies across all areas, investing in projects and products that will result in the highest returns.

Merger and Public Company Costs

As a consequence of the Business Combination, Leafly became the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which requires Leafly to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Leafly has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, additional expenses as a public company for, among other things: additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; compensation for directors and additional internal and external accounting, legal, and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees; and costs of certain related software tools.

Direct costs of the Business Combination and resulting recapitalization have been recorded to additional paid-in capital and other expense, as appropriate (see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report), while general costs associated with becoming and operating as a public company have been expensed throughout operating expenses within our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as applicable, primarily to general and administrative. We currently anticipate we will incur approximately $8,500 to $9,500 annually in incremental cash costs of operating as a public company. This estimate does not reflect general increases in costs due to growing our business. Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses will also likely increase significantly as we transition to operating as a public company, leveraging our available equity, including derivatives thereof, to fund operations. These estimates and expectations may change as we begin to experience these new conditions.

Key Metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, our management regularly monitors certain metrics in the operation of our business:

Monthly active users

Monthly active users (“MAUs”) represents the total unique visitors to Leafly websites and native apps each month, which in turn represents the maximum potential unique visitors that could become a customer of a dispensary or brand listed on Leafly’s platform, within a given month. Leafly’s revenue model for dispensaries and brands is based, in part, on the number of visitors it can drive to dispensary or brand listings on the platform. Providing more visitors, as represented by MAUs, may lead to increased advertising rates for both dispensaries and brands.

Users (visitors) are considered active by initiating a session on at least one webpage or app. Each month’s MAUs is the total of unique visitors to Leafly during the specified month and includes both new visitors as well as those returning from the previous month. We count a unique user the first time an individual accesses one of our websites or native apps during a calendar month. If an individual accesses our websites using different web browsers within a given month, the first access by each such web browser is counted as a separate unique user. If an individual accesses more than one of our websites or native apps in a single month, the first access to each website or app is counted as a separate unique user since unique users are tracked separately for each domain and native app. The unique visitors are measured using Google Analytics for our web applications and Firebase for our native applications.

Due to third-party technological limitations, user software settings, or user behavior, Google Analytics may assign a unique cookie to different instances of access by the same individual to our websites. In such instances, Google Analytics would count different instances of access by the same individual as separate unique users. Accordingly, reliance on the number of unique users counted by Google Analytics may overstate the actual number of unique users who access our websites during the period. Additionally, we cannot differentiate between a user who accesses Leafly across both the web and a native app, which could overstate the number of unique users.

A growing number of MAUs is indicative of our overall product health as it is the result of metrics reflecting both retention and acquisition of customers of our suppliers. While we consider MAUs to be a leading indicator of general product health representing the blend of new customer acquisition and the retention of returning customers, we also acknowledge that this must be paired with a deeper analysis of MAU behavioral metrics. We measure the quality of experience by looking at

MAU cohorts engagement behaviors as measured by time on site, interaction with personalization features such as favoriting and following, and orders placed.

Ending retail accounts

Ending retail accounts is the number of paying retailer accounts with Leafly as of the last month of the respective period. Retail accounts can include more than one retailer. This metric is helpful because it represents a portion of the volume element of our revenue and provides an indication of our market share.

Retailer average revenue per account

Retailer ARPA is calculated as monthly retail revenue, on an account basis, divided by the number of retail accounts that were active during that same month. An active account is one that had an active paying subscription with Leafly in the month. Leafly does not provide retailers with an ongoing free subscription offering but may offer a free introductory period with certain subscriptions. This metric is helpful because it represents the price element of our revenue.

The tables below presents these measures for the respective periods:

Three Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change						Change (%)
Average Monthly Active Users ("MAUs") (in thousands)1						7,885						10,947						(3,062)						(28)		%
Ending retail accounts2						5,251						4,419						832						19		%
Retailer average revenue per account ("ARPA")3						$	579					$	642					$	(63)					(10)		%

1 Calculated as a simple average for the period presented. Using the prior calculation that excluded native apps, Average MAUs would have been 7,198 and 10,185 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for a decrease of 2,987, or 29%.

2 Represents the amount outstanding in the last month of the respective period.

3 Calculated as a simple average of monthly retailer ARPA for the period presented. Using the prior calculation of retailer ARPA which included retail revenue on a product basis, retailer ARPA would have been $580 and $633 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for a decrease of $53 or 8%.

Six Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change						Change (%)
Average Monthly Active Users ("MAUs") (in thousands)1						7,817						10,960						(3,143)						(29)		%
Ending retail accounts2						5,251						4,419						832						19		%
Retailer average revenue per account ("ARPA")3						$	577					$	663					$	(86)					(13)		%

1 Calculated as a simple average for the period presented. Using the prior calculation that excluded native apps, Average MAUs would have been 7,145 and 10,173 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for a decrease of 3,028, or 30%.

2 Represents the amount outstanding in the last month of the respective period.

3 Calculated as a simple average of monthly retailer ARPA for the period presented. Using the prior calculation of retailer ARPA which included retail revenue on a product basis, retailer ARPA would have been $575 and $659 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively for a decrease of $84 or 13%.

MAUs decreased 28% and 29% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 due to people not shopping online at the same pace as they did during the pandemic, along with a decline in organic search traffic (in particular, our news and learn sections). The Company continues to focus primarily on growing the number of supply partners on the platform, leading to year over year growth in ending retail accounts. Part of this growth in retail accounts included expanding into lower population or lower demand markets at a lower price point, a strategic decision which contributed to a decline in ARPA.

Discussion of our Results of Operations 

Revenue

Three Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Retail						$	9,065					$	8,145					$	920					11		%
Brands						2,985						2,443						542						22		%
Total revenue						$	12,050					$	10,588					$	1,462					14		%

Six Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Retail						$	18,244					$	15,966					$	2,278					14		%
Brands						5,226						4,097						1,129						28		%
Total revenue						$	23,470					$	20,063					$	3,407					17		%

Retail

Retail revenue from digital media display ads and subscriptions from licensed dispensaries increased $660 and $216, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $1,449 and $777, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Digital media display ads revenue growth was driven by increased volumes of display ads sold. Subscription sales revenue growth was also driven by increased volume, as the number of ending retail accounts increased 19% and 19% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to continued onboarding of new retail subscriptions. These increases were offset in part by an overall reduction in prices in target markets, where we sought to attract a greater number of local retailers onto our platform. In 2022, we continued use of a regional pricing model based on traffic and orders, which had the effect of decreasing overall prices within our mix of revenue during 2022 when compared to 2021, as reflected in a 10% and 13% decrease in ARPA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Brands

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Brands revenue increased due primarily to:

•direct-to-consumer marketing revenue increase of $208;

•subscriptions revenue increase of $99; and

•revenue of $194 from newly offered licensing of data for use in brands advertising.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Brands revenue increased due primarily to:

•direct-to-consumer marketing revenue increase of $318;

•subscriptions revenue increase of $208;

•digital media display ads (including audience extension services) revenue increase of $204; and

•revenue of $284 from newly offered licensing of data for use in brands advertising.

The Company’s current systems do not allow us to precisely quantify changes in Brands revenue attributable to price and volume. We continue to implement systems and processes that will allow us to do so. In the meantime, the information we have from our existing systems, combined with our knowledge of changes in list prices, informs the discussion of Brands volume and pricing that follows. We believe Brands revenue grew primarily due to increased volume as we offer a solution for brands that continue to lack access to their target audience through certain traditional advertising channels that do not work with the cannabis industry, and as CBD and related cannabis-adjacent brands want to advertise to our audience.

Cost of revenue

Three Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Retail						$	990					$	641					$	349					54		%
Brands						451						572						(121)						(21)		%
Total cost of revenue						$	1,441					$	1,213					$	228					19		%

Six Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Retail						$	2,030					$	1,371					$	659					48		%
Brands						866						932						(66)						(7)		%
Total cost of revenue						$	2,896					$	2,303					$	593					26		%

Retail cost of revenue increased due primarily to a $192 and $405 increase in business platform costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily data licensing fees, and for the six months, also due to $66 higher website infrastructure costs, primarily hosting fees.

Brands cost of revenue decreased due to a decrease of $233 and $291 in costs of audience extension, corresponding to decreased associated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases for Brands were higher business platform and website infrastructure costs of $73 and $149 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as described under Retail cost of revenue above, as these costs are shared across both of our segments.

Operating expenses

Three Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Sales and marketing						$	8,112					$	4,346					$	3,766					87		%
Product development						4,056						3,213						843						26		%
General and administrative						7,310						3,030						4,280						141		%
Total operating expenses						$	19,478					$	10,589					$	8,889					84		%

Six Months Ended June 30,						2022						2021						Change ($)						Change (%)
Sales and marketing						$	15,126					$	8,149					$	6,977					86		%
Product development						7,521						6,383						1,138						18		%
General and administrative						14,241						5,536						8,705						157		%
Total operating expenses						$	36,888					$	20,068					$	16,820					84		%

Sales and marketing expenses grew as we continued our investments in this area of our business following increased funding through the issuance of the 2022 Notes. We increased advertising and marketing spending by $1,497 and $2,356 and employee compensation costs by $1,892 and $3,919, as we more than doubled our number of sales and marketing staff, when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, to the same periods in 2021.

Product development expenses grew primarily due to a $482 and $806 increase in professional services fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, largely related to the use of outsourced providers for staff augmentation. Product development expenses are reported net of $568 and $1,326 of costs capitalized to internal-use software for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. No amounts were capitalized in 2021. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for more information.

General and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due primarily to:

•a $444 and $2,805 increase in compensation, including $174 and $1,933 of stock-based compensation expenses, primarily associated with the modification of certain options held by our CEO, the hiring of several senior-level employees during the fourth quarter of 2021, and higher rates of salaries, stock-based compensation, and related benefits and bonuses in general;

29

---

•a $1,408 and $2,463 increase in insurance costs, primarily related to directors and officers insurance for post-Business Combination coverage; and

•a $1,439 and $2,287 increase in professional services fees, largely related to the Business Combination and becoming a public company.

Total other income (expense)						$	11,697					$	(118)					$	11,815					nm

1 An "nm" reference means the percentage is not meaningful.

Interest expense, net increased due to higher principal balances of convertible promissory notes outstanding, on average, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021.

The change in fair value of derivatives is due to the recording of derivatives in connection with the Business Combination and changes in their valuations. See Note 20 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for details on the valuations and the fair value changes in the periods presented.

Other expense, net increased due primarily to $874 of costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination, which were allocated upon closing of the Business Combination to newly issued derivative liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for information on allocation of these costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net income (loss) before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expense in the case of EBITDA and further adjusted to exclude non-cash, unusual and/or infrequent costs in the case of Adjusted EBITDA. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net income (loss) (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

30

---

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA follows:

			Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
			2022						2021						2022						2021
Net income (loss)			$	14,759					$	(1,317)					$	(4,617)					$	(2,426)
Interest expense, net			717						109						1,414						108
Depreciation and amortization expense			97						58						149						138
EBITDA			15,573						(1,150)						(3,054)						(2,180)
Stock-based compensation			464						340						2,388						521
Transaction expenses allocated to derivatives			—						—						874						—
Change in fair value of derivatives			(24,397)						—						(14,000)						—
Adjusted EBITDA			$	(8,360)					$	(810)					$	(13,792)					$	(1,659)

The increase in our loss on an EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA basis is due to increased operating expenses offset in part by increased revenue. See discussion of these changes under the respective headings above.

Financial Condition

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $67,266 and $28,695 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Notes and restricted cash received through the Business Combination. See Notes 3, 11, and 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for more information.

The Company had Forward Share Purchase Agreements ("FPA") agreements with certain investors. Effective August 1, 2022, the FPA holders elected to have Leafly repurchase their remaining shares covered by the FPAs. Additional information is included in Note 21 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report.

Cash flows

As compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operations increased by $17,779 to $18,380 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to increased net loss from operations. See discussion under “— Discussion of our Results of Operations” above for more information. Cash and restricted cash provided by financing increased $34,525 over this same period to $58,366 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 Notes and cash and restricted cash in escrow relating to the Forward Share Purchase Agreements.

Stock and convertible promissory note issuances

Since our capital restructuring in 2019, we have financed a sizable portion of our operations from issuances of stock and convertible promissory notes. The proceeds of these issuances have been used to fund, among other things, working capital and capital expenditures. See more information about our stock in Note 12 and our convertible notes in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue is primarily related to software subscriptions and display ads. The revenue deferred at June 30, 2022 is expected to be recognized in the subsequent 12-month period. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for further discussion.

Contractual obligations and other planned uses of capital

We are obligated to repay any convertible notes that do not ultimately convert to equity, as well as the other operating liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, such as accrued liabilities. We intend to continue to invest in product and feature development, expanding our marketing and sales operations, improving and expanding our technology and finance infrastructure, hiring additional and retaining existing employees, pursuing strategic opportunities, and meeting the increased compliance requirements associated with our transition to and operation as a public company. In addition, we intend to add back in-person working space over time. As we continue to grow, we expect the aggregate amount of these expenses will also continue to grow.

Liquidity

Leafly has incurred losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $74,387 and $69,770 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Leafly issued the 2022 Notes, which provided incremental funding for our operations. Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report provides additional information regarding the 2022 Notes.

As discussed above under Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, the Company had FPA agreements with certain investors. Additional information regarding the FPA agreements is included in Note 21 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report.

We believe that our capital resources are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the following 12 months.

Related Party Relationships

See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report for information on the Company's related party relationships and transactions.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Leafly is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information otherwise required with respect to market risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. 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.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

32

---

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

There have been no material developments to the legal proceedings reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
