Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

(unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Mondee Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. We refer to Mondee Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively as “Mondee,” the “Company,” “us,” “we”, “our” and "New Mondee" in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Mondee is a rapid-growth, travel technology company and marketplace with a portfolio of globally recognized brands in the leisure and corporate travel sectors.

Reverse Recapitalization

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

On the Closing Date, following the domestication, First Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Mondee, with Legacy Mondee surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”). Immediately following the First Merger, Legacy Mondee merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

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

2. IMMATERIAL CORRECTIONS OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified an error related to arrangements with travel agents which requires the recording of travel agent commissions to revenue with a corresponding off-setting entry to sales and marketing expense. As a result, there was an understatement of revenues, net and reported sales and marketing expenses for the unaudited three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company identified an error related to the classification of credit card processing fees which should have been recorded in sales and marketing expense rather than revenues, net thereby contributing to the understatement of such financial statement line items. There was no impact to net loss for either period. The Company previously disclosed marketing expenses and sales and other expenses separately through the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company changed its manner of presentation to its current presentation of sales and marketing expense as one financial statement line item. Management assessed the materiality of these errors and concluded the misstatements were not material to the unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the effect of the revision on the affected financial statement line items, corresponding to the Company’s presentation of the relevant financial statement line item in the period relevant to the error:

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. We have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including acquired businesses from the dates of acquisition. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency. For international operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange existing at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated at monthly average exchange rates applicable for the period. Translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gains (losses) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and also on assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable from customers are recorded at the original invoiced amounts net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We make estimates of expected credit losses for our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the

Table of Contents

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

length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history continually updated for new collections data, the credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision for estimated credit losses is recorded in accounts receivable, net of allowance on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations and enters into foreign currency exchange derivative financial instruments to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts with maturities of up to four months to hedge a portion of anticipated exposures. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value are recorded in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Realized gains and losses from the settlement of the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are predominantly generated by providing online travel reservation services, which principally allow travelers to book travel reservations with travel suppliers through our technology solutions. These services are primarily related to reservation of airline tickets. They also include, to a lesser extent, services related to the reservation of hotel accommodations, rental cars, travel packages and purchases of travel insurance and other travel products and services.

We have determined the nature of our promise is to arrange for travel services to be provided by travel suppliers, and are therefore an agent in the transaction, whereby we record as revenue the net commission we receive in exchange for our travel reservation services. In these transactions, the travel supplier is determined to be our customer. Travel suppliers consist of Global Distribution System (“GDS”) service providers and airline companies. Our revenue is earned through mark-up fees and commissions, and is recorded net of estimated cancellation, refunds, and chargebacks. Revenue is recognized when the traveler completes a reservation, as our performance obligation is satisfied upon issuance of the ticket or reservation details to the traveler. From time to time, the Company issues credits or refunds to the traveler in the event of cancellations. Additionally, when travel bookings are made, there is a risk of transaction losses as a result of chargebacks pursued by payment processors in connection with fraudulent charges. We record estimates for chargebacks against our mark-up fees or commission earned upon travel bookings as variable consideration. We record estimates for losses related to chargebacks of the travel supplier cost as sales and marketing expense. Reserves are recorded based on our assessment of various factors, including the amounts of actual chargeback activity during the current year.

We earn incentives from airline companies that are recognized based on the achievement of contractual targets, which primarily relate to the volume of airline ticket bookings that have taken place, and consequently, are not subject to cancellation. We also receive incentives from our GDS service providers based on the volume of segment bookings mediated by us through the GDS systems. Incentive payments from airline companies and GDS service providers are recognized when performance targets are achieved, as it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. This revenue is recognized net of variable consideration, including cancellations, refunds, and shortfall penalty fees, as applicable.

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

In partnering with the financing companies mentioned above, the Company has the option to collect payments upfront or receive in installments as they become due. Upfront payments are determined to be factoring transactions, and therefore financing fees associated with these payments are recorded within interest expense. Financing fees for payments received in installments are recorded within sales and marketing expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the

Company incurred factoring fees of $697 and $1,075, respectively, which represents 10% and 8%, respectively, of the total other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In addition to travel-related revenue, we also earn incentives from fintech programs held with banks and financial institutions, which we leverage in our payment processing and settlement platform. Our fintech programs include a wide array of payment options, such as credit cards, wallets, alternate payment methods, and next generation fraud protection tools. These incentives received are based on the aggregate transaction amounts processed by us.

Our Rocketrip platform offers a corporate travel cost savings solution through its technology platform. We generate subscription revenues from customers who are provided access to our platform as software-as-a-service ("SaaS"). When the customer signs up to use the platform, payment is collected upfront. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement using a time-based measure of progress, as the nature of the Company’s promise to the customer is to stand ready to provide platform access.

TripPlanet is an end-to-end business travel platform for small-to-medium sized enterprises, membership organizations, associations, educational institutions, and non-governmental organizations. The platform combines the Company's global content hub, marketplace, and conversational commerce engine to provide organizations discounted rates for airfare, hotels, and car rentals using our private platform. Individuals within these organizations can also utilize the platform for leisure travel. When the customer signs up to use the platform, payment is collected upfront. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement using a time-based measure of progress, as the nature of the Company’s promise to the customer is to stand ready to provide platform access. The subscription term is generally one month or one year depending on the type of subscription purchased. The Company also earns variable consideration from commissions and margins earned from each travel booking made on the platform. The Company applies the series guidance variable consideration estimation exception to recognize the variable fees upon the completion of travel bookings as this is when our performance obligation is satisfied.

Unpub provides consumer groups access to a subscription-based private membership travel platform where they can purchase flights, reserve hotel rooms and rental cars, and receive member benefits. When the customer signs up to use the platform, payment is collected upfront. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement using a time-based measure of progress, as the nature of the Company’s promise to the customer is to stand ready to provide platform access. The subscription term is generally for one year. The Company also earns variable consideration from commissions and margins earned from each travel booking made on the platform. The Company applies the series guidance variable consideration estimation exception to recognize the variable fees upon the completion of travel bookings as this is when our performance obligation is satisfied.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

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

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Significant concentrations are those that represent more than 10% of the Company's total revenue or total accounts receivable and contract assets. As of June 30, 2023, there were two financing companies that accounted for 63% and 13% of the total accounts receivable balance at period end. As of December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 23% of total accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company’s accounts receivable comprises of amounts due from affiliates, airline companies, GDS service providers and financing companies, which are well established institutions that the Company believes to be of high quality. The Company reviews accounts receivable balances to estimate the expected credit loss and record it within the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses due to institutional failure or bankruptcy.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or

Table of Contents

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

ASU No. 2016-13. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 introduce an approach based on expected losses to estimated credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modify the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023 with no material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The Company has considered the applicability of recently issued accounting pronouncements by the FASB and have determined that they are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Change in Financial Statement Presentation

In connection with the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company changed the presentation of “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company combined “Sales and other Expense” and “Marketing Expense” into “Sales and Marketing Expense”. The change is a result of an increased overlap between the nature and purpose of expenses that fall within these groups. This change in presentation has been applied retrospectively and does not change any previously reported subtotals or totals on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

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

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


	June 30, 2023

Short-Term Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of Company’s short-term financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred underwriting fee, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, due to their short-term nature. The Company’s restricted short-term investments are certificate of deposits held at banks and the Company intends to hold to maturity, and as such are recorded on an amortized cost basis. All of the Company's outstanding debt are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Foreign Currency Exchange Derivatives

The notional amount of the foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is $6,404. The notional amount of a foreign currency forward contract is the contracted amount of foreign currency to be exchanged and is not recorded in the balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the foreign currency exchange derivatives are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is $117 and $129, respectively.

Roll-forward of Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarizes the fair value adjustments for liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Table of Contents

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

Earn-out consideration


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Balance, beginning of period	$	3,890	$	762	$	—	$	597
Additions of earn-out consideration with the acquisition of Orinter	—		—		3,719		—
Additions of earn-out consideration with the acquisition of Interep	1,390		—		1,390		—
Additions of earn-out consideration with the acquisition of Consolid	2,520		—		2,520		—
Change in the estimated fair value of earn-out consideration	530		(760)		701		(595)
Balance, end of the period	$	8,330	$	2	$	8,330	$	2

The earn-out consideration consists of the fair values of the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Orinter, Interep and Consolid. See Note 6 for further detail. The earn-out considerations are fair valued using the Monte Carlo Method and is a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the earn-out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation method repeats a process thousands of times in an attempt to predict all the possible future outcomes. At the end of the simulation, several random trials produce a distribution of outcomes that are then analyzed to determine the average present value of the earn-out liability. The valuation model utilized the following assumptions for the valuation of the earn-out liabilities as of June 30, 2023:


	Orinter	Interep	Consolid
Cost of equity	27.0%	32.0%	28.0%
EBITDA volatility	48.0%	105.0%	63.0%
Equity volatility	59.0%	59.0%	59.0%
Required metric risk premium	22.0%	57.0%	30.0%
Management's projected EBITDA	$11,121 - $13,485	$5,085 - $6,628	$1,596 - $1,993
Risk-neutral adjustment factor	0.78 - 0.95	0.57 - 0.89	0.82 - 0.89
Risk-neutral EBITDA	$10,398 - $10,578	$3,621 - $4,672	$1,385 - $1,591

The earn-out consideration is recorded in earn-out liability, net, current portion and earn-out liability, net, excluding current portion on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the unobservable inputs do not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized a loss of $530 and $701 for the remeasurement of the earn-out liabilities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, recorded as general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Private placement warrant liability


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,314	$	—	$	1,293	$	—
Change in the estimated fair value of warrants	(393)		—		(372)		—
Balance, end of the period	$	921	$	—	$	921	$	—

The private placement warrant liability is fair valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table provides quantitative information regarding assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the private placement warrants as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Table of Contents

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


	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Stock price	$8.91	$10.88
Term (in years)	4.1	4.6
Expected volatility	62.0%	60.0%
Risk-free rate	4.3%	4.1%
Dividend yield	—%	—%

Changes to the unobservable inputs do not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized a gain of $393 and $372 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, recorded in changes in fair value of warrant liability within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy categories of financial instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on non-financial assets.

5. REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

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


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revenue from travel marketplace	$	56,652	$	45,403	$	106,201	$	84,178
Revenue from SaaS platform	119		253		499		545
	$	56,771	$	45,656	$	106,700	$	84,723

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billing, and cash collection results in the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets represent unbilled and accrued incentive revenues from airline companies and our GDS service providers based on the achievement of contractual targets defined at contract inception.

Contract liabilities, discussed below, are recorded as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and disclosures. Cash received that are contingent upon the satisfaction of performance obligations are accounted for as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash advances received from GDS service providers for future bookings of airline tickets.

Table of Contents

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

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


	Accounts Receivable		Contract Asset		Deferred Revenue
Ending Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	21,733	$	5,794	$	20,484
Increase/(decrease), net	88,939		9,545		(985)
Ending Balance as of June 30, 2023	$	110,672	$	15,339	$	19,499

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $1,830 from the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company expects approximately 30% of total deferred revenue to be realized within one year, approximately 35% within one to three years and the remaining 35% within four to six years.

6. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Orinter Acquisition

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

The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred for Orinter is as follows:


Cash consideration (i)	$	21,556
Issuance of Class A Common Stock (ii)	16,037
Fair value of earn-out consideration (iii)	3,719
Total purchase price consideration	$	41,312

i.Cash consideration of $20,020 paid and $1,536 holdback consideration transferred to an escrow account as a guarantee in case of necessity of reimbursement, payment and/or use by Orinter for fulfillment of obligations of Orinter deriving from customers credits and customers prepayment.

ii.Issuance of 1,726,405 shares of common stock to be maintained in an escrow account. The release of the shares are as follows: (a) 903,202 after a period of 12 months from the Orinter Closing Date, and (b) 823,203 shares after a period of 24 months from the Orinter Closing Date.

iii.The purchase price consideration includes an earn-out obligation of $10,000 (paid in equal installments over 3 years) contingent on Orinter meeting EBITDA targets of $10,500, $11,500, and $12,500, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

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


Assets acquired:	Estimated Fair Value
Cash	$	624
Accounts receivable	40,431
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,447
Property and equipment	336

Table of Contents

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


Goodwill	6,905
Operating lease right-of-use-assets	172
Intangible assets	29,180
Fair value of assets acquired	79,095
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable	31,243
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	6,437
Operating lease liabilities	103
Fair value of liabilities assumed	37,783
Total purchase consideration	$	41,312

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

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The resulting goodwill is primarily attributable to expected post-acquisition synergies from integrating Orinter’s technology with Mondee’s platform and technology. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was allocated to the travel marketplace segment and is amortizable for income tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition was recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized but is subject to an annual review for impairment.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition:


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

Since the acquisition, Orinter was included in the Company's travel marketplace segment.

Acquisition costs related to the Orinter Acquisition were not material. The amounts of revenue and pretax net income of Orinter included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations from the Orinter Closing Date to June 30, 2023 were $24,923 and $5,359, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Orinter as if it were consummated on January 1, 2022 (the beginning of the comparable prior reporting period), including certain pro forma adjustments that were directly attributable to the Orinter Acquisition, including additional amortization adjustments for the fair value of the assets acquired. This data is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of operations that would have been reported had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022. Actual results may differ from the unaudited combined pro forma information presented below:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revenue	$	15,872	$	10,560	$	29,343	$	19,452
Net earnings	3,211		1,554		5,046		1,806

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incidental to its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on its business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of judgment, defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. As of June 30, 2023 the Company currently has two outstanding legal claims that may have a material impact.

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

On October 13, 2021, Mondee received a summons from Global Collect Services B.V. to appear in the District Court of Amsterdam with respect to a claim of $548 for past dues and outstanding invoices, fees, plus interest and costs of collection. The Company is in current discussions to settle this lawsuit and at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss.

Letters of Credit

The Company had $7,578 and $7,432 secured letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These primarily relate to securing the payment for the potential purchase of airline tickets in the ordinary course of business and are collateralized by term deposits, for which the contractual obligation is less than a year.

______________________________


(a)			While 7,400,000 of the earn-out shares allocated are legally issued and outstanding, they are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding calculation because they are contingently returnable based on the Company's stock price during the term of the earn-out shares.

15. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company took actions at some of the office locations to reduce the size of its workforce to optimize efficiency and reduce costs. The Company completed the vast majority of announcements that affected employees by March 2023, including office closures.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a benefit and expense of $168 and $1,361, respectively, within restructuring expense (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses are one-time and are primarily related to employee severance and other termination benefits. During the

Table of Contents

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

three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $337 from the termination of an office lease in India, and when netted against other restructuring charges, resulted in a net benefit of $168 for the period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made employee severance, other termination benefits, and other restructuring costs payments of $437 and $1,136, respectively. The restructuring activity was completed by the end of June 30, 2023 and the Company does not expect material costs associated with the activity in future periods.

Activities related to our restructuring impacted our travel marketplace segment. The following is a roll forward of the outstanding restructuring charges by cost type for the six months ended June 30, 2023:


	Balance as of December 31, 2022		Additions		Adjustments		Cash Payments		Balance as of June 30, 2023
Severance and termination-related costs	$	—	$	1,438	$	(13)	$	(886)	$	539
Other exit costs	—		277		(3)		(250)		24
Total	$	—	$	1,714	$	(16)	$	(1,136)	$	563

16. INCOME TAXES

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

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

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

The effective income tax rate was (16)% and (11)% on the pre-tax loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and (12)% and (3)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance on certain of the Company’s deferred tax assets as not all of the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering its employees in the United States of America. Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation to the 401(k) plan, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not match contributions to its 401(k) plan.

The Company’s Gratuity Plan in India (the “India Plan”) provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company. Liabilities with regard to the India Plan are determined by actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Current service costs for these plans are accrued in the year to which they relate. Actuarial gains or losses or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans are recognized and reported as personnel expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any additional subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Skypass Acquisition

On August 12, 2023 (the “Skypass Closing Date”), the Company executed the Share Purchase Agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Skypass Travel Inc., Skypass Travel de Mexico Sa de CV, Skypass Travel Private Limited and Skypass Holidays, LLC (collectively, the "Transferred Companies"). The Transferred Companies comprise an international travel operator specializing in national and international air travel and hotel bookings primarily for travelers and employees associated with international corporations. The Transferred Companies also allow the Company to expand its reach in the cruise and holiday packages travel sectors.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay total consideration of (i) $3,000 on the Skypass Closing Date, with an adjustment for working capital, (ii) 900,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock on the Skypass Closing Date, (iii) 100,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock within 60 days after each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Skypass Closing Date, collectively representing approximately a four times multiple of adjusted EBITDA and (iv) an earn-out component up to an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock over a four year period contingent on the Transferred Companies meeting certain adjusted EBITDA growth targets, plus an additional percentage of EBITDA that might exceed these growth targets.

The Company is estimating the impact of the acquisition on its financial statements as of the date of the financial statements are available to be issued, and expects these estimates to be further refined during the purchase accounting measurement period. The Company has concluded that, due to the limited amount of time since the date of this transaction, in accordance with the accounting guidance, it is impracticable to provide all of the disclosures required for a business combination at the time of this filing.

Overview

We are a leading travel technology company and marketplace with a portfolio of globally recognized technology solutions in the leisure, retail and corporate travel sectors.

We provide state-of-the art technologies, operating systems and technology-enabled services that seamlessly facilitate travel market transactions to better serve travelers through travel affiliates and numerous other emerging channels. These technology solutions with access to global travel inventory and extensive negotiated travel content, combined with our distribution network, create a modern travel marketplace. Our modern marketplace provides the increasingly discerning traveler with enhanced options on efficient consumer-friendly distribution platforms, while supporting our travel supplier partners in utilizing highly-perishable travel inventory.

In addition to the rapid development and enhancement of our modern travel marketplace, we are increasingly focused on expanding our penetration of the "gig economy" segment of the travel market. We believe our technology solutions are well-suited to serve gig workers seeking more flexible, diverse content and travel services.

From its founding, our Company began building a leading international wholesale travel business through acquisitions and deployment of our technology platform. We have continued to enhance our technology, expand our market reach and increase our travel market penetration with a combination of organic and inorganic initiatives and transactions. Most recently, we have acquired companies with subscription products, expanded hotel and retail consumer services and added more global content.

We believe the successful execution of our combined organic and inorganic acquisition business strategy has enhanced our modern travel marketplace and positioned us well for emerging travel business opportunities.

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

Recent Developments

2023 Restructuring

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our Company announced reductions to employees in India, Thailand and the United States. The purpose of this action was to pursue greater cost efficiencies and to realign our business and strategic priorities. As part of this action, we generally provided involuntary termination benefits in the amount of one month of compensation as a severance payment.

Interep Acquisition

On May 12, 2023 (the “Interep Closing Date”),we executed the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Interep Purchase Agreement") to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Interep Representações Viagens E Turismo S.A. (“Interep”) (such transactions contemplated by the Interep Purchase Agreement, the “Interep Acquisition”). Interep is a Brazilian travel operator specializing in national and international land travel with service aimed exclusively at travel agents. Through this acquisition, our Company continues to expand its geographic footprint in Brazil's domestic and outbound travel market.

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to pay total consideration of (i) $4.0 million on the Interep Closing Date, with an adjustment for working capital, (ii) a deferred payment of $0.7 million paid in 36 installments, (iii) 411,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, (iv) $50 thousand in travel credits, and (v) an earn-out component up to an aggregate of $3.0 million contingent on Interep meeting certain adjusted EBITDA targets.

Consolid Acquisition

P.I. de C.V. ("Consolid") (such transactions contemplated by the Consolid Purchase Agreement, the “Consolid Acquisition”). Consolid is a Mexican corporation and leader in the travel market with the main objective of generating higher income for travel agencies in Mexico and around the world through first-class technological tools with products and services that satisfy travelers. Through this acquisition, the Company expands its geographic footprint in Mexico's domestic and outbound travel market, as well as in other areas of Latin America.

In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to pay total consideration of (i) $4.0 million on the Consolid Closing Date, with an adjustment for working capital, and (ii) an earn-out component up to an aggregate of $1.0 million and 400,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock contingent on Consolid meeting certain adjusted EBITDA targets.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

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

Our revenue is derived from the global travel industry and would be significantly impacted by declines in, or disruptions to, travel activity, particularly air travel. Global factors over which we have no control, but which could impact

Table of Contents

our clients’ willingness to travel and, depending on the scope and duration, cause a significant decline in travel volumes include, among other things:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Use of Transaction Volumes

Transaction volume represents the gross value of transactions handled by our platform between a third party seller or service provider and the ultimate customer. We generate revenue from mark-up fees earned on these transactions and, accordingly our revenue increases or decreases based on the increase or decrease in either or both the number or value of transactions we process. Revenue will increase as a result of an increase in the number of customers using our platform or as a result of an increase in mark-up fees from higher value services offered on the platform. Our management believes that transaction volume has a strong correlation to the opportunity to realize revenue and is therefore a useful unit of measurement for our investors.

Comparability of Financial Information

Our results of operations between the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and our statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 may not be comparable as a result of the Business Combination.

Additionally, the Company continues to experience a trend upwards towards pre-pandemic travel activity throughout 2022 and 2023 as vaccination rates increase, infection rates decreased, and travel restrictions were lifted.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct our business through two operating segments, namely our travel marketplace, which is our transactional business serving the end travelers directly or through travel affiliates, and our software-as-a service (“SaaS Platform”). Substantially, all of our long-lived assets are maintained in, and all of our losses are attributable to, our activity in the United States of America. See Note 13 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on basis of presentation and operating segments, respectively.

Table of Contents

Components of Results of Operation

Revenues, Net

We generate transactional revenue primarily by airline ticket sales, which includes mark-up fees as well as commissions from the sale of ancillary products such as travel insurance, seats, and bags. To a lesser extent, we also derive transactional revenue from services related to reservation of hotel accommodation, rental car, travel insurance, travel packages and other travel products and services. We generate backend incentives from airlines for achieving volume targets. We also generate booking incentives from the three separate GDS service providers and supplier direct systems, which host the airlines’ inventory that we use to sell in our marketplace. We earn incentives on transacted amounts from fintech programs held with banks and financial institutions, which we leverage in our payment processing and settlement platform. Our fintech programs include a wide array of payment options, such as credit cards, wallets, alternate payment methods, and next generation fraud protection tools. In most cases, revenue is recognized at the time of booking when we are in an agent position, as the travel supplier is responsible for providing the travel services and we do not control the travel services provided to the traveler. We do not have any significant obligations following the processing of the transaction. We also generate revenue by providing subscription-based platform access that offers businesses and consumers the ability to purchase travel services directly on the platform.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

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

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

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

General and Administrative

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

of our business. However, we anticipate general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

Personnel Expenses

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

IT Expenses

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

Depreciation and Amortization

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

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of: (1) interest income; (2) interest expense; (3) other income and expense, (4) government assistance, and (5) changes in the fair value of our private placement warrant liability. Interest expense relates to interest on loans, amortization of debt issuance costs, and factoring interest. Interest income was recorded from the Mondee Group Note for our related party loan settled upon the consummation the Business Combination. Other expenses include realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange.

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes

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

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

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

Revenues, net

Revenues, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $11.1 million and $22.0 million, or 24% and 26%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid during 2023 and significant improvement in travel demand trends in the same period. Specifically, transactional revenues and other service revenues increased $9.8 million and $15.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the acquisitions. Incentive revenues increased by an aggregate of $1.3 million and $6.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Operating Expenses and Other (Income) Expense

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $7.7 million and $17.7 million, or 24% and 30%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $10.6 million and $20.0 million in affiliate marketing expense and affiliate credit card merchant expense, which is consistent with the increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. Of the $10.6 million and $20.0 million increase in affiliate marketing expense and credit card merchant expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, $11.7 million and $17.0 million, respectively, was due to the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid during 2023. These increases were offset by decreases in web advertising expenses of $4.5 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Personnel Expenses

Personnel expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $6.6 million and $8.5 million, or 115% and 75%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.4 million and $6.5 million in stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The remaining increase is due to the additional headcount from the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid during 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $3.2 million and $5.3 million, or 158% and 118%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees of $2.0 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which was attributed to our preparation and filings with the SEC. The remainder of the increase is primarily due to an increase in business insurance expense and non-employee stock compensation of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

IT Expenses

IT expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.2 million and decreased by $0.2 million, or 19% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased software and IT professional services costs and the decrease was primarily due to a decrease in off-shore consulting costs.

Provision for Credit Losses, Net

Provision for credit losses, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.1 million and decreased by $0.8 million, or 72% and 915%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was due to changes in estimated recovery of accounts receivable and the decrease was mainly driven by changes in estimated recovery of accounts receivable and contract assets as a result of gradual improvement in travel industry.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.0 million and $1.6 million, or 37% and 29%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization from additional capitalized software and an increase in amortization of intangibles as a result of the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid during 2023.

Interest Income

Interest income for the for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, or 116% and 144%,respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash interest income on bank balances due to higher interest rates in the current period.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.8 million and $3.8 million, or 27% and 30%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $0.7 million and a $1.1 million increase in interest expense primarily attributable to factoring arrangements entered into by Orinter, Interep, and Consolid.

Other Income

Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $0.1 million and $0.5 million, or 8% and 71%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to gains on foreign currency exchange.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.8 million and $2.4 million, or 751% and 833%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, mainly driven by the impact of profits earned by Orinter, Interep, and Consolid.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow

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

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

Table of Contents

Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) provision for income taxes; (3) interest expense, net; (4) other income, net; (5) stock-based compensation and the related payroll tax expense; (6) restructuring and related costs; (7) acquisition-related costs (including bank fees, due diligence fees, etc.); (8) legal costs pertaining to acquisitions, and other filings which are not ordinary and outside the course of our business; (9) other non-recurring expenses; and (10) and changes in fair value attributable to earn-out and warrant liabilities.

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

We began excluding (1) the change in fair value of our earn-out liabilities and (2) stock-based compensation payroll tax expense for the purpose of calculating Adjusted EBITDA this quarter. For comparability, references to prior period non-GAAP measures have been updated to show the effect of removing the change in the fair value of our earn-out liabilities from Adjusted EBITDA. The Company did not incur payroll tax expenses on stock-based compensation prior to this quarter. We believe this updated presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances investors' understanding of our financial performance from activities occurring in the ordinary course of our business.

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

The following table reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

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

Table of Contents

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

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

The following table reconciles net cash used in operating activities to Unlevered Free Cash Flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively:

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $49.0 million, which were held for working capital purposes, as well as restricted short-term investments of $8.9 million and a TCW LOC available for draw down of $15.0 million. Our cash equivalents are comprised primarily of cash checking accounts and our restricted short-term investments are certificate of deposits held at banks which we intend to hold to maturity. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been payments received from our revenue arrangements and financing arrangements with banks and financial institutions.

As of June 30, 2023, we held $49.0 million of cash, cash equivalents of which $7.4 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries outside of the United States. In the event that we repatriate these funds from our foreign subsidiaries, we would need to accrue and pay applicable United Sates taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. As of June 30, 2023, our intent was to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States.

Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for withholding taxes or other taxes that would result upon repatriation of approximately $13.8 million of undistributed earnings from these foreign subsidiaries as those earnings continue to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the United States due to the complexity of the underlying calculation. Although we have no intention to repatriate the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, if such funds are needed for operations in the United States, to the extent applicable and material, we will revise future filings to address the potential tax implications.

TCW Agreement

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

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

Table of Contents

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

Financial Position

We are required to make debt repayments aggregating to $8.3 million in the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $49.0 million of unrestricted cash and $15.0 million in unused TCW LOC.

As of the date on which our condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023

were available to be issued, we believe that the cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities, and available TCW LOC will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the subsequent 12 months.

Material Cash Requirements and Other Obligations

Our material cash requirements and other obligations as of June 30, 2023 include the following:

•Term Loan - Principal and interest payments related to the TCW and Wingspire term loans. As of June 30, 2023, we had an outstanding balance of $151.7 million, with $8.3 million payable within 12 months. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

•PPP and Other Governmental Loans - Principal and interest payments related to the PPP, CEBA and HASCAP loans. Our outstanding balance related to the PPP loan was $0.0 million as of June 30, 2023, as the second tranche of Mondee's PPP loan was forgiven in May 2022. As of June 30, 2023, our outstanding balance related to the CEBA and HASCAP loans was $0.2 million, with $0.1 million payable within 12 months.

•Operating Lease Obligations - Fixed lease payments related to our operating leases. As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding operating lease obligations of $2.1 million, with $0.9 million payable within 12 months.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $12.4 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss totaling $27.5 million, which was offset by non-cash charges of $21.4 million primarily consisting of stock-based compensation of $7.4 million, PIK interest expense of $4.1 million, amortization of loan origination fees of $0.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $7.2 million, and deferred tax expense of $0.1 million. Cash used in our operating assets and liabilities was $6.3 million, primarily owing to a $20.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $8.8 million increase in contract assets, a $0.4 million increase in other non-current assets, and a $0.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities. These changes were offset by a $24.7 million increase in accounts payable. The increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable was primarily due to the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep and Consolid.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million. The primary factors affecting our operating cash flows during this period were our net loss of $9.1 million, offset by our non-cash charges of $11.7 million primarily consisting of PIK interest expense of $1.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $5.6 million. The cash used from changes in our operating assets and liabilities was $2.5 million, which was primarily due to a $10.2 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a $10.2 million increase in contract assets, partially offset by a $11.2 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and a $10.2 million increase in accounts payable.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $26.6 million, which was primarily due to cash paid for the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid and the purchase of property and equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $3.5 million, which was due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $8.7 million, primarily due to $15.0 million in proceeds from the Wingspire Loan, offset by the repayment of debt and offering costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used by financing activities was $1.1 million, primarily due to the repayment of debt and offering costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We use our judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates and we evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Estimates are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the travel industry, and on various other assumptions

Table of Contents

that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Matters that involve significant estimates and judgments of management include the following:

Revenue Recognition

We make several estimates in our revenue recognition process that affect the net revenues presented on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We earn incentives from airline companies that are recognized based on the achievement of contractual targets, which primarily relate to the volume of airline ticket bookings that have flown. We also receive incentives from our GDS service providers based on the volume of segment bookings mediated by us through the GDS systems. Often, the contractual targets upon which we earn incentives from airline companies and GDS service providers are described as the volume of flights flown over a period of time and the volume of segments booked over a period of time, respectively. The periods in which the contractual targets are based on range from months to years. The amount of incentives that we ultimately earn is dependent on which contractual targets are met by the end of the target period. We do not know with certainty which contractual targets will be met until the end of the target period. As such, we recognize incentive revenues throughout the target period by estimating which contractual targets will be met based on our historical performance and changes to external factors such as travel trends in the current economic environment.

Our revenues are recorded net of cancellations, refunds, and chargebacks, which all represent variable consideration and must be estimated. From time to time, the Company issues credits or refunds to the traveler in the event of cancellations. Additionally, when travel bookings are made, there is a risk of transaction losses as a result of chargebacks pursued by payment processors in connection with fraudulent charges. We estimate and record reserves for cancellations, refunds, and chargebacks based on our assessment of various factors, including the amounts of actual chargeback activity during the current year.

Valuation of Goodwill, Definite-Lived Intangible Assets, and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Our estimates of the fair value are based upon assumptions that we believe are reasonable. When we deem appropriate, we utilize assistance from third-party valuation firms. The consideration transferred is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective values at the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the amounts allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

Goodwill increased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the acquisitions of Orinter, Interep, and Consolid. See Note 6 – Business Combinations for additional information related to the acquisitions.

We review long-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based upon the ability to recover the carrying value of the assets from the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, before interest and taxes, of the related asset group.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We test goodwill at a reporting unit level and our annual goodwill impairment tests are performed as of December 31. As of December 31, 2022, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill.

The estimation of fair values of our reporting units reflect numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including key assumptions regarding each reporting unit’s expected growth rates and operating margin and the competitive environment, as well as other key assumptions with respect to matters outside of our control, such as discount rates and market comparables. Generally, changes in the assumptions used for comparable company multiples would result in directionally similar changes in the fair value and changes in the assumptions used for discount rates would result in directionally opposite changes in the fair value. The estimation of fair value requires significant judgments and estimates and actual results could be materially different than the judgments and estimates used. Discount rates have been impacted during the period due to rising interest rates and adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment. Future events and changing market conditions, including economic uncertainties such as inflation, rising interest rates and risks of

Table of Contents

a potential recession, may lead us to re-evaluate the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of our reporting units, which may result in a need to recognize additional goodwill impairment charges that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Earn-Out Liabilities

See Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to the Company's fair value measurements. When little or no market data is available, the fair value is measured using unobservable inputs ("Level 3 inputs").

Our liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs primarily consist of earn-out liabilities acquired from acquisitions. The fair value of earn-out liabilities are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. In determining the fair value, the following factors were considered: the expected future financial performance of the acquired entities, the underlying financial metric on which the earn-out payment is based upon, historical financial performance, and the Company's credit risk.

Equity-Classified Earn-Out Shares

As part of the reverse recapitalization that closed on July 18, 2022, earn-out shares were approved to be issued to holders, would be entitled to the right to receive shares of common stock, which vest based on the trading price of the Company's Common Stock. The earn-out was determined to be equity-classified, and the Company estimates the fair value of the award on the date the shares are allocated to a holder. The Company obtains a third-party valuation to determine the fair value. The Monte Carlo method was used to determine the expected value of the earn-out shares to be vested by simulating the Company's Common Stock price from the allocation date to the end of the vesting period. The income approach was used to determine the fair value of the award on the allocation date, which includes estimating future cash flows to be received by the award owners over the economic life of the award and converting the cash flows to their present value equivalents using an appropriate discount rate that accounts for the relative risk of not realizing the annual cash flows and for the time value of money.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that remain since they were identified in connection with the preparation and filing of the 2022 Form 10-K.

Material Weaknesses

In connection with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our controls, we disclosed in Part II, Item 9A Controls and Procedures in the 2022 Form 10-K that we had identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

These material weaknesses were related to the control environment, risk assessment and control activities component of internal control over financial reporting as established by the COSO framework. The following control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate:

•Failure to maintain a whistle-blower hotline that facilitates anonymous receipt of information relevant to our financial reporting.

•Lack of involvement of personnel with sufficient training and knowledge of U.S. GAAP.

•Failure to perform a formalized risk assessment, including a fraud risk assessment.

Table of Contents

•Lack of a formalized process to assess and review the accounting treatment for significant events, significant accounting policies, and significant accounting estimates.

•Lack of segregation of duties related to the ability to create, approve and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system.

•Lack of formalized process to review and approve of work performed by management’s third-party consultants related to the measurement of certain instruments measured at fair value.

•Inadequate design, implementation and maintenance of information systems controls including access security and change management controls.

•Failure to timely recognize material transactions, which includes the appropriate determination of revenue recognition based on the terms of the contracts and sales and marketing expenses associated with affiliates of the Company, with an appropriate review by management, including review of both internal and external information used by the Company in determining the amount to record.

Management’s Remediation Efforts

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

•We plan to implement a global whistle-blower hotline and fraud monitoring program to facilitate the receipt of anonymous tips relevant to financial reporting.

•We are actively recruiting a technical accounting team with relevant accounting certifications and U.S. GAAP experience to assess the accounting treatment of significant transactions and events and oversee the work of our third-party consultants.

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

•We are designing and implementing additional control activities related to the review of the accounting treatment for significant events, significant accounting policies, and significant accounting estimates within our accounting and finance department, including those that are prepared by third-party consultants.

•We are implementing segregation of duties by adding system approval workflows to create, approve and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system.

•We are designing and implementing adequate information systems controls, including access security and change management controls.

Remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening our internal control environment will require a substantial effort throughout the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and beyond, as necessary. We will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness remediation efforts as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, see Note 11 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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

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

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

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

The travel industry is subject to changing client preferences and demands relating to travel and travel-related services, including in response to constant and rapid technological change. If we are unable to develop or enhance technology in response to such changes, products or technologies offered or developed by our competitors, our travelers may find our services less attractive.

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

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

If we are unable to maintain existing systems, obtain new technologies and systems, or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as our competitors or in a cost-effective manner, our business and operations could be

Table of Contents

materially adversely affected. Also, we may not achieve the benefits anticipated from any new technology or system or be able to devote financial resources to new technologies and systems in the future.

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

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

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

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

If a party (whether internal, external, an affiliate or unrelated third party) either is able to circumvent our data security systems or those of the third parties with whom we share client information, or engages in cyber-attacks, such data breaches or cyber-attacks could result in such bad actor obtaining our proprietary information, the loss, theft or inaccessibility of, unauthorized access to, or improper use or disclosure of, our clients’ data or a significant interruption in

Table of Contents

our operations. Our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not be effective, particularly if catastrophic events occur where large numbers of our people are located, or simultaneously affect our people in multiple locations around the world. If these disruptions prevent us from effectively serving our clients, our results of operations could be significantly adversely affected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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