Company Overview We are a leading online visibility management software-as-a-service ("SaaS") platform, enabling companies globally to identify and reach the right audience in the right context and through the right channels. Online visibility represents how effectively companies connect with consumers across a variety of digital channels, including search, social and digital media, digital public relations, and review websites. 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our proprietary SaaS platform enables us to aggregate and enrich trillions of data points collected from hundreds of millions of unique domains, social media platforms, online ads, and web traffic. This allows our customers to understand trends, derive unique and actionable insights to improve their websites and social media pages, and distribute highly relevant content to their targeted customers across channels to drive high-quality traffic. OnMarch 29, 2021 , we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 10,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of$14.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of$140.0 million . We received approximately$126.6 million in net proceeds after deducting$9.8 million of underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately$3.6 million in offering costs. In connection with the closing of the IPO, all of the outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock and Common Stock automatically converted into 124,905,954 shares of Class B common stock. We generate substantially all of our revenue from monthly and annual subscriptions to our online visibility management platform under a SaaS model. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date the product is made available to customers. We have one reportable segment. See Note 14 of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. Key Factors Affecting Our Performance We regularly review a number of factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, our results of operations and growth. These factors include: Acquiring New Paying Customers We expect increasing demand for third-party online visibility software to accelerate adoption of our platform. Our recurring subscription model provides significant visibility into our future results and we believe ARR is the best indicator of the scale of our platform, while mitigating fluctuations due to seasonality and contract term. We define ARR as the daily revenue of all paid subscription agreements that are actively generating revenue as of the last day of the reporting period multiplied by 365. We include both monthly recurring paid subscriptions, which renew automatically unless cancelled, as well as the annual recurring paid subscriptions so long as we do not have any indication that a customer has cancelled or intends to cancel its subscription and we continue to generate revenue from them. As ofMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, we had more than 72,000 paying customers and 56,000 paying customers, respectively, accounting for$167.6 million and$109.5 million in ARR, respectively. Retaining and Expanding Sales to Our Existing Customers We serve a diverse customer base across a variety of sizes and industries that is focused on maximizing their online visibility. We believe there is a significant opportunity to expand within our existing customer base as customers often initially purchase our entry-level subscription, which offers lower usage limits and limited user licenses, as well as fewer features. We have demonstrated the ability to expand contract values with our existing customers as they use our products and recognize the critical nature of our platform and often seek premium offerings through incremental usage, features, add-ons, and additional user licenses. We have successfully increased ARR per paying customer over time and believe this metric is an indicator of our ability to grow the long-term value of our platform. We expect ARR per paying customer to continue to increase as customers adopt our premium offerings and we continue to introduce new products and functionality. Our ARR per paying customer as ofMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 was$2,274 and$1,942 , respectively. We define ARR per paying customer during a given period as ARR from our paying customers at the end of the period divided by the number of paying customers as of the end of the same 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- period. We define the number of paying customers as the number of unique business and individual customers at the end of a particular period. We define a business customer as all accounts that contain a common non-individual business email domain (e.g., all subscriptions with an email domain of @XYZ.com will be considered to be one customer), and an individual customer as an account that uses an individual non-business email domain. Sustaining Product and Technology Innovation We have a strong track record of developing new products that have high adoption rates among our paying customers. Our product development organization plays a critical role in continuing to enhance the effectiveness and differentiation of our technology in an evolving landscape and maximizing retention of our existing customers. We intend to continue investing in product development to improve our data assets, expand our products and enhance our technological capabilities. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our financial results determined in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin, each a non-GAAP financial measure, are useful in evaluating the performance of our business. Free cash flow and free cash flow margin We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. We define free cash flow margin as free cash flow divided by total revenue. We monitor free cash flow and free cash flow margin as two measures of our overall business performance, which enables us to analyze our future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allow us to better understand the cash needs of our business. While we believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin are useful in evaluating our business, free cash flow and free cash flow margin are each a non-GAAP financial measure that have limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow and free cash flow margin should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash used in operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The utility of each of free cash flow and free cash flow margin as a measure of our liquidity is further limited as each measure does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for any given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow and free cash flow margin differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow and free cash flow margin as tool for comparison. A summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities is provided below. We recommend that you review the reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and the reconciliation of free cash flow margin to net cash used in operating activities (as a percentage of revenue), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, provided below, and that you not rely on free cash flow, free cash flow margin or any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date on which we provide the customer access to our platform. Our customers do not have the right to take possession of our software. Our subscriptions are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term, however our subscription contracts contain a right to a refund if requested within seven days of purchase. We offer our paid products to customers via monthly or annual subscription plans, as well as one-time and ongoing add-ons. As ofMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 77% and 76%, respectively, of our paying customers purchased monthly subscription plans. Our subscription-based model enables customers to select a plan based on their needs and license our platform on a per user per month basis. As ofMarch 31, 2021 , we served approximately 72,000 paying customers in various industries, and our revenue is not concentrated with any single customer or industry. For the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our revenue. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses related to hosting our platform, acquiring data, and providing support to our customers. These expenses are comprised of personnel and related costs, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation expense related to the management of our data centers, our customer support team and our customer success team, and data acquisition costs. In addition to these expenses, we incur third-party service provider costs, such as data center and networking expenses, allocated overhead costs, depreciation expense and amortization associated with the Company's property and equipment, and amortization of capitalized software development costs and other intangible assets. We allocate overhead costs, such as rent and facility costs, information technology costs, and employee benefit costs to all departments based on headcount. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenue and each operating expense category. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars due to expenditures related to the purchase of hardware, data, expansion, and support of our data center operations and customer support teams. We also expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will decrease over time as we are able to achieve economies of scale in our business, although it may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of significant expenditures. To the extent that our customer base grows, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in expanding the delivery capability of our products and other services. The timing of these additional expenses could affect our cost of revenue, both in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in any particular quarterly or annual period. Operating Expenses Research and Development Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead costs. Research and development expenses also include depreciation expense and other expenses associated with product development. Other than internal-use software costs that qualify for capitalization, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to increase the dollar amount of our investment in research and development for the foreseeable future as we focus on developing new products, features, and enhancements to our platform. We believe that investing in the development of new products, features, and enhancements improves customer experience, makes our platform more attractive to new paying customers and provides us with opportunities to expand sales to existing paying customers and convert free customers to paying customers. However, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs directly associated with our sales and marketing department, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation, online advertising expenses, and marketing and promotional expenses, as well as allocated overhead costs. We expense all costs as they are incurred, excluding sales commissions identified as incremental costs to obtain a contract, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period of benefit, which we estimate to be two years. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in the year endingDecember 31, 2021 . New sales personnel require training and may take several months or more to achieve productivity; as such, the costs we incur in connection with the hiring of new sales personnel in a given period are not typically offset by increased revenue in that period and may not result in new revenue if these sales personnel fail to become productive. We expect to increase our investment in sales and marketing as we add new services, which will increase these expenses in absolute dollars. Over the long term, we believe that sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue will vary depending upon the mix of revenue from new and existing customers, as well as changes in the productivity of our sales and marketing programs. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related expenses, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation, associated with our finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative employees. Our general and administrative expenses also include professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, insurance, depreciation and amortization expense, as well as allocated overhead. We expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. We expect to continue to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on aU.S. securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of theSEC , increases in 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- insurance premiums, investor relations and professional services. We expect the dollar amount of our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future. However, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time. Other Income, Net Included in other income, net are foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The functional currency of our international operations is theU.S. dollar except for Prowly, which is Polish Zloty. Any differences resulting from the re-measurement of assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded within other income, net. We expect our foreign currency exchange gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future as foreign currency exchange rates change. Other income, net also includes amounts for other miscellaneous income and expense unrelated to our core operations. Income Tax Provision We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are subject to taxes in each country or jurisdiction in which we conduct business. We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, this method requires a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To date, we have incurred cumulative net losses and maintain a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. We expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future. Our tax expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 primarily relates to income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Integration and data costs increased primarily as a result of increasing costs incurred related to new products and customer growth. Merchant fees increased commensurate with sales growth. Other costs increased primarily as a result of a 95% increase in headcount as we continue to grow our customer support and customer success teams to support our customer growth. 34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personnel costs include the amortization of capitalized commission costs, which increased quarter over quarter partially due to the amortization of commissions paid in prior periods, as well as expense associated with the amortization of commissions paid and capitalized during the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , which increased compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 due to the overall growth in sales. Advertising expense increased primarily as a result of increasing expenses to acquire new paying customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been the net proceeds of$126.6 million , after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses paid or payable by us, from our IPO inMarch 2021 , the net proceeds we received through private sales of equity securities, as well as sales of premium subscriptions to our platform. As ofMarch 31, 2021 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of$171.9 million and accounts receivable of$2.4 million . With the exception of this three month period endedMarch 31, 2021 , we have generated losses from operations since inception. With the exception of this three month period endedMarch 31, 2021 , we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future due to the investments in our business we intend to make as described above. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund operations and invest in capital expenditures, and are held in cash deposits and money market funds. We believe our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, billing frequency, the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our platform and products. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary companies, 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- products, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Our Credit Facility Pursuant to the Credit Agreement among us andSemrush Inc. , aDelaware corporation ("Semrush US Sub"), each as a borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time andJPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A ., as the administrative agent, as amended from time to time, we have a senior secured credit facility that consists of a$45.0 million revolving credit facility and a letter of credit sub-facility with an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of$5.0 million and the aggregate unused amount of the revolving commitments then in effect. The availability of the credit facility is subject to the borrowing base based on an advance rate of 400% multiplied by annualized retention applied to monthly recurring revenue. The credit facility has a maturity of three years and will mature onJanuary 12, 2024 . Borrowings under our credit facility bear interest at our option at (i) LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% floor, plus a margin, or (ii) the alternate base rate, subject to a 3.25% floor (or 1.50% prior to positive consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the twelve months most recently ended), plus a margin. For LIBOR borrowings, the applicable rate margin is 2.75% (or 3.50% prior to positive consolidated adjusted EBITDA as of the twelve months most recently ended). For base rate borrowings, the applicable margin is 0.00% (or 2.50% prior to positive consolidated adjusted EBITDA as of the twelve months most recently ended). We are also required to pay a 0.25% per annum fee on undrawn amounts under our revolving credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Operating Activities Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our customers for subscription services. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for online advertising, personnel costs across the sales and marketing and product and development departments, and hosting costs. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 was$9.0 million , which resulted from a net income of$1.5 million adjusted for non-cash charges of$2.3 million and a net cash inflow of$5.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of$0.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense,$1.3 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs related to capitalized commissions, and$0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense. The changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a$5.6 million increase in deferred revenue due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a$2.4 million increase in accrued expenses, and a$1.6 million increase in accounts payable. These inflows were partially offset by a$2.4 million increase in deferred contract costs, a$1.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a$1.0 million increase in accounts receivable. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 was$0.6 million , which resulted from a net loss of$1.9 million adjusted for non-cash charges of$1.5 million and net cash inflow of$1.0 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of$1.1 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs related to capitalized commissions,$0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, and$0.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense. The changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a$1.7 million increase in deferred revenue due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a$1.0 million increase in accrued expenses, a$0.7 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a$0.1 million increase in accounts payable. These inflows were partially offset by 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a$1.7 million increase in deferred contract costs and a$0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 was$1.1 million and$1.4 million , respectively. The decrease of$0.2 million of cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the reduced purchases of computer equipment and hardware, as well as a decrease in capitalized costs associated with internal use software. During the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , cash used in investing activities also included$500 paid for two convertible debt securities. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 was$128.5 million , primarily consisting of the net proceeds from the IPO. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 was insignificant and consisted entirely of payments of deferred offering costs. Contractual Obligations As ofMarch 31, 2021 , there were no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in the Prospectus, other than those appearing in the notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As ofMarch 31, 2021 , we did not have any relationships with any entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes. As a result, we are not exposed to related financing, liquidity, market or credit risks that could arise if we had engaged in those types of arrangements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to the section titled "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 2 of the notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States . The preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the Prospectus and in Note 2 of the notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 38
