Overview



Our mission is to be the #1 partner to busy Pet Parents. We believe that being
busy shouldn't stop Pet Parents from owning or taking care of their pets. We are
dedicated to building a future in which every pet has access to safe,
high-quality care. Wag! exists to make pet ownership possible and to bring joy
to pets and those who love them.

Wag! was founded in 2015 to solve the guilt and stress of owning a pet. There
are over 90.5 million US households with a pet, and for many Pet Parents,
leaving their pet alone creates stress and guilt, as the existing solutions are
limited. We launched the Wag! platform to solve these problems because lonely
pets deserve healthier and happier lives. Wag! enabled on-demand pet services,
allowing us to provide a mobile first experience for 98% of Pet Parents on the
app. With numerous on-demand or scheduled service options provided by Pet
Caregivers to Pet Parents through the platform, we have created a trusted pet
service platform for Pet Parents. This has led to approximately 75% of Pet
Parents not being physically at home while services are being delivered and
high-frequency service utilization where Pet Parents use Wag! an average of four
to five times a month. We have built a compelling and trusted consumer brand
with a high level of customer engagement, effectively creating a solid platform
to leverage as we rapidly expand our business to new product lines.

Our proprietary marketplace technology, which is available as a mobile app and
website ("platform" or "marketplace"), enables independent Pet Caregivers to
connect with Pet Parents. Through our cutting- edge technologies and
multi-faceted platforms, Wag! connects Pet Parents with Pet Caregivers who
provide excellent pet care services. Our marketplace enables Pet Parents to find
a wide array of pet services provided by Pet Caregivers and third-party service
partners, such as walking, pet sitting and boarding, advice from licensed pet
experts, home visits, training services, and pet insurance comparison tools.

We are one of the largest, online marketplaces for pet care and strive to be the
#1 platform for busy pet parents, offering access to 5-star dog walking, pet
sitting, expert pet advice, wellness plans, and one-on-one
                                       30

training from our community of 400,000 local pet caregivers nationwide, in
addition to pet insurance options from the leading pet insurance companies.
Making pet parents happy is what we do best. With safety and wellness at the
forefront, we have a trusted record of experience with pet care services
completed by pet caregivers on the Wag! Platform across 5,300 cities and 50
states. Wag! also operates Petted.com, the nation's largest pet insurance
comparison marketplace. Additionally, the Wag! Pet Caregiver App empowers pet
caregivers to care for pets in their neighborhood and earn real money. For more
information, visit wag.co.

Since the beginning of 2021, monthly revenues has generally been steadily
increasing leading to our highest monthly revenues in the third quarter of 2022,
averaging over $5.0 million a month, since the Company was founded. From 2020 to
the third quarter of 2022 Cohorts, Pet Parent activity for Pet Parents who
joined the platform through September 2022 are significantly outperforming the
2017, 2018, and 2019 Cohorts on a year-to-date basis. We are still in the early
stages of growth, but have made significant progress in extending the offerings
and reach of our platform since our inception in 2015.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Material Trends



Our results are impacted by the general economic environment, conditions and
trends relating to pet ownership and demand for services, competition with other
pet service providers, and other factors including promotions, seasonality, and
the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns. The primary
factors that impact our results and present significant opportunities, as well
as pose risks and challenges, are described below. We believe that our
performance and future success depend on the factors discussed below, those
mentioned in the section titled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this document.

Investment in New Services



Founded in 2015, we were one of the first on-demand pet services platforms.
Since then, we have remained committed to expanding our offerings and the reach
of our platform. For example, in the past 24 months, we have launched new
features in an effort to increase engagement by both Pet Parents and Pet
Caregivers on our platform. For Pet Parents, we added direct booking, the
ability to create preferred Pet Caregiver lists, in-home or in-app video dog
training options, pet service requests for cats and other pets, insurance
comparison from top pet insurance providers, browse and chat with Pet Caregivers
before booking a request, browse through trusted caregivers, and the ability to
pre-tip caregivers before the service. For Pet Caregivers, we added features to
provide them with the opportunity to fulfill highest priority requests, the
ability to set their own prices, the ability to expand their reach to new
customers and grow their business with social media links to their profile and
custom HTML Craigslist links, as well as the opportunity to access advice from
seasoned veterans on the platform and tips to help them grow a successful pet
care business.

In the first quarter of 2020, we also launched our Wag! Premium subscription
service, a monthly or annual subscription that offers Pet Parents 10% off all
services, including waived booking fees, free advice from pet experts, priority
access to top-rated Pet Caregivers, and VIP pet support. Wag! Premium accounts
for over 50% of our monthly active users.

Extending Offerings and Platform Reach



Since our founding in 2015, we have striven to be the #1 platform for premium
pet services, including on-demand walking, sitting, boarding, training, vet
services, wellness plans, and insurance comparison tools. Our ability to
establish trust via our traditional on-demand services across 5,300 cities in
all 50 states is a key way for Pet Parents to start experiencing the platform.
We are becoming the button on the phone for the paw, a place Pet Parents trust
with their pets' health and well-being. We are extremely excited about the
growth in all lines of our business, including the Wellness category
("Wellness"), which is a major propulsion for year over year revenue increase.
Pet Parents are appreciating the option to chat with a licensed pet expert 24/7,
pet wellness plans, and the ability to compare pet insurance through our
one-stop-shop platform as opposed to performing their own in depth research. By
simplifying what it takes to be a Pet Parent through our digital edge, we're
giving back valuable time that pets and their parents can spend together. This
is only scratching the
                                       31

surface of the Total Addressable Market ("TAM") in the pet care industry, and we are excited to see where our path takes us.

Investment in Innovation and Technology



The continued development of our platform capabilities and digital ecosystem
requires substantial ongoing investment in resources and technology
infrastructure, which can impact EBITDA. Our ability to continue to incorporate
or develop innovative tools in line with our growth is crucial to ensuring the
success of our strategy. As discussed above in "- Investment in New Services",
we are committed to innovating new products and features. In addition, we are
continuously integrating and evaluating acquisitions to enhance our technology
platforms and launch features that are most beneficial to Pet Caregivers, Pet
Parents, and third-party service partners.

Investment in New Markets



We plan to invest in existing and new markets, as well as new offerings. We
believe that we can further expand in existing markets, to new markets within
North America, and internationally by carefully targeting locations with a high
expected demand for pet services. We believe there is an opportunity to expand
our services outside of our existing geographic locations into other countries
and regions where there is an attractive spend per pet to address. As we invest
in new markets and create new offerings, we may increase our marketing
strategies in a manner that could extend our marketing payback target in order
to accelerate growth in each new market.

                     [[Image Removed: pet-20220930_g2.jpg]]

Pet Ownership Trends



The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted demand for pet care and has had a significant
impact on Pet Parent and Pet Caregiver behavior. Beginning in the first quarter
of 2020, many Pet Parents experienced travel restrictions, shelter-in-place
orders, and work from home requirements. Accordingly, at the start of the
COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, our revenues declined significantly, since many
Pet Parents were home with their pets and did not require additional pet
services. The services that we offer through our platform were also limited due
to full and partial lockdowns.

However, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 23 million pets
were adopted by U.S. households through May 2021. According to the APPA, 70% of
U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 90.5 million homes. We are focused
on taking advantage of this significant opportunity to expand the base of Pet
Parents using the Wag! platform given the increased size of the market in which
we operate. We believe that the high volume of new Pet Parents, as well as
return to office policies, may continue to have a positive effect on the number
of bookings for pet services, and other pet related services over the longer
term.

Pet Parent Preferences and Demand



As 95% of the U.S. population has access to the Wag! platform through an iPhone
or Android device, our objective for long-term sustained growth is to create a
platform that results in existing Pet Parents becoming repeat bookers, together
with attracting new Pet Parents to our platform and to successfully convert them
into repeat bookers. We attract Pet Parents to our platform through
word-of-mouth and a variety of channels, such as social media, video, and other
online and offline channels.

Our proprietary on-demand platform allows Pet Parents to easily and conveniently
find top rated Pet Caregivers to serve their pet service needs either on-demand
or scheduled at their convenience. Our primary mobile app allows Pet Parents to
access Pet Caregivers from anywhere, at any time. With approximately 75% of Pet
Parents not physically at home when their pet service is being performed, our
platform allows Pet Caregivers and Pet Parents to avoid in-person contact if
necessary or preferred by the Pet Parent. We believe this positions us well for
ongoing growth as our platform allows both Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers the
ability to mitigate COVID-19 related concerns.

We attract Pet Caregivers to the platform primarily based on viral and
word-of-mouth marketing strategies. We have industry-leading Net Promoter Scores
for Pet Caregivers, which average between 45 to 55 as of the third quarter of
2021. Being a Pet Caregiver allows dog lovers to spend time with dogs and other
animals, enabling them to lead a healthy lifestyle by getting exercise through
dog walking while simultaneously participating in an activity that delights
them.

To serve Pet Parents in any given market, a critical density of caregivers must
be present so that Pet Parents have options and availability for on-demand
services. During certain peak periods, such as holidays, we have observed high
Pet Parent demand that has resulted in Pet Caregiver constraints in some
markets. Our platform provides a technology feature that allows Pet Caregivers
to set their own prices, encouraging Pet Caregivers to be more engaged during
peak periods.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic



In addition to the foregoing factors, our results in 2020 were significantly
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting measures undertaken by
federal, state, and municipal governments. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a
highly disruptive economic and societal event that initially negatively impacted
demand for pet care due to shelter-in-place orders, travel restrictions, and
work-from-home requirements implemented in March 2020. As a result, our monthly
revenues in 2020 decreased approximately 80% compared to pre-COVID revenues.
However, the re-opening of the economy, despite the continuation of the pandemic
and the emergence of new variants, has resulted in a meaningful recovery of
revenues in 2021 relative to 2020. Uncertainties in the global economy may
adversely impact our operations, brand partners, customers, and other business
partners, which may impact future revenues, and require other changes to our
operations.

Effectiveness of our word-of-mouth, marketing and advertising activities



Our objective for long-term, sustained growth is to create a platform that
results in existing Pet Parents becoming repeat bookers, together with
attracting new Pet Parents to the platform and converting them into repeat
bookers, thus generating a lifetime of bookings from the Pet Parent. We attract
Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers to the platform through word-of-mouth and a
variety of other channels, such as social media, video, and other online and
offline channels. The easy to use and convenient platform organically drives
word-of-mouth marketing and references amongst Pet Parent. Additionally, our
brand awareness advertising activities, including social media and television
advertisements, allow us to reach new Pet Parents and Pet Caregivers.

When assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of our marketing spend, we monitor, amongst other things, new sign ups and first-time booking activity on the platform.

Our ability to attract Pet Parents to the platform is very efficient as we benefit from the network effects associated with our platform.

Seasonality



Wag! experiences seasonality in the booking volume, which Wag! expects to
continue and may become more substantial. Historically, Wag! has experienced
lower walking service requests on the platform during holidays periods, offset
by higher sitting and boarding requests during these periods.

The Business Combination Agreement and Public Company Costs



On February 2, 2022, Wag!, CHW and the Merger Sub entered into the Business
Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the
Closing, Merger Sub was merged with and into Wag!, with Wag! continuing as the
surviving corporation following the Merger, being a wholly owned subsidiary of
CHW and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. Upon the
completion of the Business Combination, Wag! became the successor registrant
with the SEC, meaning that Wag!'s financial statements for previous periods will
be disclosed in the registrant's future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination Agreement is CHW, for
financial accounting and reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP, Wag! is the
accounting acquirer and the Merger is accounted for as a "reverse
recapitalization." A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of
accounting, and the financial statements of the combined company represent the
continuation of the financial statements of Wag! in many respects. Under this
method of accounting, CHW is treated as the "acquired" company for financial
reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Wag! is deemed to be the accounting
acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a
recapitalization of Wag! (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of
stock by CHW for the stock of Wag!).

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE and Backstop
Investment, the most significant change in our reported financial position and
results of operations was an increase in cash (as compared to our balance sheet
at September 30, 2022) including $29.3 million of which $24.7 million is held in
escrow, $5.0 million in gross proceeds from the PIPE and Backstop Investment by
the PIPE and Backstop Investor, and financing arrangement proceeds of $29.4
million. Total direct and incremental transaction costs of CHW and Wag! through
September 30, 2022 were approximately $23.4 million, substantially all of which
were offset to additional-paid-in-capital as costs related to the reverse
recapitalization. Transaction costs were approximately $11.8 million, for Wag!
and $11.6 million for CHW for legal, financial advisory, and other professional
fees incurred in consummating the Business Combination.

As a result of the Business Combination, Wag! is the successor to an SEC
registrant and is listed on the Nasdaq, which will require Wag! to hire
additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public
company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur
additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things,
directors' and officers' liability insurance, director fees and additional
internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including
increased audit and legal fees.

Components of Our Results of Operations

The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising our operating results.



Revenues

We provide an online marketplace that enables Pet Parents to connect with Pet
Caregivers for various pet services. We recognize revenues in accordance with
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with its Customers from four distinct streams:
(1) service fees charged to Pet Caregivers for use of the platform to discover
pet service opportunities and to successfully complete a pet care service to a
Pet Parent, (2) subscription and other fees paid by Pet Parents for Wag!
Premium, (3) joining fees paid by Pet Caregivers to join and be listed on the
platform, and (4) Wellness revenue through affiliate fees paid by third-party
service partners based on 'revenue-per-action' or conversion activity. For some
of the Company's arrangements with third-party service providers, the
transaction price is considered variable and an estimate of the transaction
price is recorded when the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used
in the variable consideration is based on historical data with the respective
third-party service partner and the consideration is measured and settled
monthly.

Table of Contents

Cost of Revenues, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of revenues consists of costs directly related to revenue generating transactions, which, primarily includes fees paid to payment processors for payment processing fees, hosting and platform-related infrastructure costs, third-party costs for background checks for Pet Caregivers, and other costs arising as a result of revenue transactions that take place on our platform, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Platform Operations and Support



Platform operations and support expenses include personnel-related compensation
costs of technology and operations teams, and third-party operations support
costs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel-related compensation costs of the marketing team, advertising expenses, and Pet Parent incentives. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative



General and administrative expense includes personnel-related compensation costs
for employees on corporate functions, such as management, accounting, and legal
as well as insurance and other expenses used to run the business, together with
outside party service costs of related items such as auditors and lawyers.

Depreciation and Amortization



Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation and
amortization expenses associated with our property and equipment. Amortization
includes expenses associated with our capitalized software and website
development.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives

The net decrease in fair value of derivatives consists of fair value remeasurements of the Company's liability classified Forward Purchase Agreements.

Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") and Non-GAAP Measures



We regularly review several metrics, including the following key performance
indicators, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends
affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic
decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin



Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures and the
comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). Please refer to the "- Non-GAAP
Measures" section below for further discussion with respect to how we define
these measures, as well as for reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP
measures. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business
operations between current, past, and future periods by excluding items from net
income (loss) that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating
performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in
compliance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts
used by other companies or persons, because they may not calculate these
non-GAAP measures in the same manner.

Bookings



We define Bookings as the total dollar value of transactions booked via the
platform for pet Services and Wellness services, in each case without any
adjustment for discounts and refunds, Pet Caregiver earnings, and Pet Parent
incentives. Bookings are an indication of the scale of our current platform,
which ultimately impacts revenues.

We define Take Rate as revenues as percentage of Gross Bookings. Take Rate is an
indication of marketplace economics, and is impacted by product offerings with
different margin structures. We use take rate to identify key revenues drivers
in our business.

Our gross bookings in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were
$25 million and $65 million, compared to $31 million and $14 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the periods
ended in 2022 are largely attributable to economic recovery from the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic, return to pre-pandemic levels of activity in the travel
industry, significant growth in publicity for our platform via strategic
partnerships and performance marketing initiatives, and growth of Wag! Wellness
services since launch in the third quarter of 2021.

The following tables present our non-GAAP measures and key performance
indicators for the periods presented (in thousands except Adjusted EBITDA
Margin).

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin



In addition to revenues and net loss, which are measures presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Margin provide relevant and useful information that is widely used by analysts,
investors, and competitors in our industry to assess performance. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, income taxes, as well
as other items to be consistent with definitions typically used by lenders,
including transaction costs. Additionally, we exclude the impact certain
non-recurring items which are not indicative of our operating performance,
including but not limited to, business combination transaction costs and PPP
Loan Forgiveness. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by
revenues. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Wag! may incur future expenses similar to those excluded
when calculating these measures. Wag!'s presentation of these measures should
not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by
unusual or non-recurring items. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Wag! compensates for these
limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin on a supplemental basis. Wag!'s computation of
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies
calculate this measure in the same fashion. You should review the reconciliation
of

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because these measures:

•are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors to measure a company's operating performance;

•are used by our lenders and/or prospective lenders to measure our performance; and

•are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Revenues



Revenues increased by $9.5 million, or approximately 161%, from $5.9 million in
the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $15.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $8.0
million increase in Wellness revenue which was launched in the third quarter of
2021. The increase also includes a $2.9 million increase in Service revenue due
to an increase in service fees stemming from increased Pet Parents engagement of
Pet Caregivers ("PCGs") to provide pet care services as a result of increased
return-to-office and travel trends, growth of Wag! Premium subscription
revenues, and PCG services. The increase was partially offset by a one-time $0.2
million contra revenue charge associated with the issuance of Community shares
in the third quarter of 2022 in connection with the Business Combination.

Revenues increased by $25.8 million, or approximately 215%, from $12.0 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $37.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $20.3
million increase in Wellness revenue which was launched during the third quarter
of 2021. The increase also includes a $8.6 million increase in Service revenue
due to an increase in service fees stemming from increased Pet Parents
engagement of Pet Caregivers to provide pet care services as a result of
increased return-to-office and travel trends, growth of Wag! Premium
subscription revenues, and PCG services. The increase was partially offset by a
one-time $0.2 million contra revenue charge associated with the issuance of
Community shares in the third quarter of 2022 in connection with the Business
Combination.

Cost of Revenues, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization



Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $0.1
million, or approximately 11%, from $0.9 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2021 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in
background check costs driven by an increase in new Pet Caregivers together with
a slight increase in payment processing fees driven by higher transaction
volume.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $1.1
million, or approximately 58%, from $1.9 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million increase in background
check costs driven by an increase in new Pet Caregivers and a $0.5 million
increase in payment processing fees driven by higher transaction volume and
other related software costs.

Platform Operations and Support



Platform operations and support expenses increased by $3.1 million, or
approximately 125%, from $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30,
2021 to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase
was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million increase in employee personnel
costs related to our expansion initiatives in the operations and technology
areas and an increase in travel to support public company initiatives, offset by
a decrease of $0.2 million in professional service costs arising from system and
process optimization and reduction in the use of outside services. Additionally,
there was a $2.8 million increase due to stock compensation expense related to
Earnout Shares upon closing of the Business Combination.

Platform operations and support expenses increased by $3.3 million, or
approximately 42%, from $7.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021
to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was
primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in personnel-related
compensation costs for our technology and operations teams, partially offset by
a decrease of $0.1 million in facilities and operations and technology costs as
well as a decrease of $0.3 million in professional service costs. Additionally,
there was a $2.8 million increase due to stock compensation expense related to
Earnout Shares upon closing of the Business Combination.

Sales and Marketing



Sales and marketing expenses increased by $8.1 million, or approximately 253%,
from $3.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $11.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily
attributable to a $4.7 million increase in partnerships, as we invest in
launching with new partners. Additionally, there was a $1.3 million increase in
personnel-related compensation costs for our marketing team, consultants, and
advertising agency costs. Additionally, there was a $2.1 million increase due to
stock compensation expense related to Earnout Shares upon closing of the
Business Combination.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $19.7 million, or approximately 394%,
from $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $24.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily
attributable to a $10.6 million increase in partnerships, as we invest in
launching with new partners, a $2.9 million increase in advertising expense,
$4.1 million increase in personnel-related compensation costs for our marketing
team, consultants, and advertising agency costs. Additionally, there was a $2.1
million increase due to stock compensation expense related to Earnout Shares
upon closing of the Business Combination.

General and Administrative



General and administrative expenses increased by $21.8 million, or approximately
1090%, from $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $23.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was
primarily as a result of the one time expense incurred in connection with
Earnout Shares of $19.0 million, and $1.8 million due to the issuance of
Community Shares in connection with the Business Combination. For further
information, see   Note 3 - Business Co    mbinations   of Notes to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The remainder of the increase was
due to $1.0 million in other administrative expenses incurred in order to
operate as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the
rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the Nasdaq,
increased legal, audit and consulting fees, and employee related expenses to
attract and retain top talent.

General and administrative expenses increased by $23.6 million, or approximately
475%, from $5.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $28.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was
primarily attributable to the one time expense upon the Community Share
issuance, stock compensation expense due to Earnout Shares, and other public
company administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2022, as noted in the
immediately preceding paragraph.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses remained flat from 2021 to 2022. An increase in amortization expense arising from the acquisition of CPI in August 2021, was offset by reduced property and equipment as a result of decreased leased office space with depreciating leasehold improvements.



Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $0.2 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022. The increase of $0.2 million, or approximately 100%, was
primarily attributable to a $0.3 million increase in amortization expense
arising from the acquisition of CPI, partially offset by a $0.1 million
reduction in depreciation expense of property and equipment as a result of
decreased leased office space with depreciating leasehold improvements.

Interest Income (Expense), net



Interest income (expense), net, changed from $9 thousand income in the three
months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.7 million expense for the three months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase in expense was primarily attributable to
interest related to the Blue Torch Financing and Warrant Agreement entered into
in connection with the closing of the Business Combination with CHW. For further
information on the debt and warrant agreement, refer to   Note     9     -
Debt   of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense, net, increased from $5 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $784 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to interest related to the Blue Torch Financing and Warrant Agreement, as noted in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Since inception, and in line with our growth strategy, we have incurred
operating losses and negative cash operating cash flows and have financed our
operations through the sale of equity securities. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2021, and
2020, we had a net loss of $44.4 million, $3.6 million, $6.3 million, $18.8
million, respectively. We expect that operating losses and negative operating
cash flows could continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to invest
in growing our business. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that
cash and equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our
operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. However, these forecasts involve risks and uncertainties,
and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on
assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital
resources earlier than we expect.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend
on many factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to grow our revenue
and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors described in the
section titled   Risk Factors   included within Item 1A of Part II of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We may seek additional equity or debt financing.
If 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 when desired, our business, financial condition, and results
of operations could be adversely affected. Although we may need to repurchase
shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, we do not believe this to
have an impact on our liquidity position. We placed $24.7 million in escrow at
the closing of the Business Combination to secure our purchase obligations to
the Investors under the Forward Purchase Agreements. If any Investor exercises
its respective options, we will apply funds in escrow to purchase those shares.
As these funds are held in escrow and recorded as restricted on our balance
sheet, our business strategy will not be impacted in the event that we are
required to purchase all or some requisite shares of stock pursuant to the
Forward Purchase Agreement.

For proceeds, payments and additional financing arrangements arising from the Business Combination, please see Note 3 - Business Combinations for additional detail.

Contractual Obligations



We enter into long-term contractual obligations and commitments in the normal
course of business, primarily debt obligations and real-estate leases for our
office locations. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination in
August 2022, we entered into a credit agreement with Blue Torch Capital LP that
provides us with up to $32 million of credit. Refer to   Note 9     -     Debt
and   Note     7 - Leases  , included in Item 1 of
                                       40

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2022 was $3.6 million, a decrease of $6.8 million from $10.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cash used was primarily
due to an increase of $5.9 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and
other liabilities, operating lease liabilities, deferred revenue and other non-
current liabilities, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in accounts
receivable, and current and other assets. Additionally, there was a $3.4 million
increase in net loss, excluding the impact of depreciation and stock-based
compensation, and other non-cash items.

Investing Activities



The Company's investments are classified as available for sale and we invest in
a diversified portfolio of investments, primarily short-term U.S. government and
agency securities, money market funds, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. In
addition, we limit the concentration of our investment in any particular
security.

Net cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
was $2.0 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from $5.0 million provided for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to $19.5
million less of proceeds received from the sale and maturities of investments,
offset by $15.6 million of reduced purchases of investments as a direct
reflection of a decrease in the Company's consolidated total investments at
September 30, 2022.

Financing Activities



Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 was $52 million, an increase of $52 million from $2 thousand for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing
activities is primarily due to cash received from the trust account, PIPE and

Debt

PPP Loan

In August 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of approximately $5.1 million
from a financial institution pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the
"PPP Loan") as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the
"SBA") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES
Act").

In August 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of $3.5 million of the PPP
Loan, and in September 2021, the SBA approved the Company's loan forgiveness
application in the amount of $3.5 million. The term of the PPP Loan is five
years with a maturity date of August 2025 and contains a fixed annual interest
rate of 1.00%. Principal and interest payments began in November 2021.

Blue Torch Financing and Warrant Agreement



On August 9, 2022, Legacy Wag! entered into a financing agreement and warrant
agreement with Blue Torch Finance, LLC (together with its affiliated funds and
any other parties providing a commitment thereunder, including any additional
lenders, agents, arrangers or other parties joined thereto after the date
thereof, collectively, the "Debt Financing Sources"), pursuant to which, among
other things, the Debt Financing Sources agreed to extend an approximately
$32.17 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the "Credit Facility").
Legacy Wag! is the primary borrower under the Credit Facility, the Company is a
parent guarantor and substantially all of the Company's existing and future
subsidiaries are subsidiary guarantors. The Credit Facility is secured by a
first priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and
the guarantors.

For additional information regarding the Blue Torch financing arrangements, refer to Note 9 - Debt of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.



We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current
or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ, and in the
past have differed, from those estimates.

While all of our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has identified the following estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:

Revenue Recognition



The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from
Contracts with its Customers. Through its Services offerings, the Company
principally generates Service revenue from service fees charged to PCGs for use
of the platform to discover pet service opportunities and to successfully
complete a pet care service to a pet parent. The Company also generates revenue
from subscription fees paid by pet parents for Wag! Premium, and fees paid by
PCGs to join the platform. Additionally, through its Wellness offerings, the
Company generates revenue through commission fees paid by third party service
partners in the form of 'revenue-per-action' or conversion activity defined in
our agreements with the third party service partner. For some of the Company's
arrangements with third party service partners, the transaction price is
considered variable, and an estimate of the transaction price is recorded when
the action occurs. The estimated transaction price used in the variable
consideration is based on historical data with the respective third-party
service partner and the consideration is measured and settled monthly.

The Company enters into terms of service with PCGs and pet parents to use the
platform ("Terms of Service Agreements"), as well as an Independent Contractor
Agreement ("ICA") with PCGs (the ICA, together with the Terms of Service
Agreements, the "Agreements"). The Agreements govern the fees the Company
charges the PCGs for each transaction. Upon acceptance of a transaction, PCGs
agree to perform the services that are requested by a pet parent. The acceptance
of a transaction request combined with the Agreements establishes enforceable
rights and obligations for each transaction. A contract exists between the
Company and the PCGs after both the PCGs and pet parent accept a transaction
request and the PCGs ability to cancel the transaction lapses. For Wag! Wellness
revenue, the Company enters into agreements with third party service partners
which define the action by a pet parent that results in the Company earning and
receiving a commission fee from the third-party service partner.

Wag!'s service obligations are performed, and revenue is recognized for fees
earned from PCGs related to the facilitation and completion of a pet service
transaction between the pet parent and the PCG through the use of our platform.
Revenue generated from the Company's Wag! Premium subscription is recognized on

basis over the contractual period, which is generally one month to one year
depending on the type of subscription purchased by the pet parent. Unused
subscription amounts are recorded as gift card and subscription liabilities on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Revenue related to the fees paid by
the PCG to join the platform are recognized upon processing of the applications.
Wag! Wellness revenue performance obligation is completed, and revenue is
recognized when an end-user completes an action or conversion activity.

Business Combinations



The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of
accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of
purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining
the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation
of intangible assets. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During
the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the
Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related
to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the
conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of
assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent
adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation



The Company has an equity incentive plan under which it grants equity awards,
including stock options. The Company determines compensation expense associated
with stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model considers several
variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards.
These variables include per share fair value of the underlying common stock,
exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price
volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield.

For all stock options granted, the Company calculates the expected term using
the simplified method as it has limited historical exercise data to provide a
reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate expected term, and the options
have characteristics of "plain-vanilla" options. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in
duration to the expected term of the stock-based award. Due to the limited
trading history of the Company's common stock, the expected volatility
assumption is generally based on volatilities of a peer group of similar
companies whose share prices are publicly available. The Company will continue
to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information
regarding the volatility of its own common stock price becomes available. The
Company utilizes a dividend yield of zero, as it has no history or plan of
declaring dividends on its common stock.

The Company generally recognizes compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the respective service period for awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 has been reduced for actual forfeitures.



In connection with the Business Combination, Legacy Wag! stockholders and
certain members of management and employees of Legacy Wag! that held either a
share of common stock, a Legacy Wag! option or a Legacy Wag! RSU Award
(collectively "Eligible Company Equityholders") at the date of the Merger, have
the contingent right to Earnout Shares as more fully described in   Note 3 -
Business Combinations  . For Eligible Company Equityholders who were employees
or members of management immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, the
rights to the Earnout Shares fully vested on the Merger Date and represent a
separate award from their existing share-based payment award. In addition, the
rights of the Earnout awards are not dependent upon continued employment by the
employee or management with the Company in order to receive the Earnout shares
if the conditions of issuance are met in the future. The Company determined that
the market condition will not affect the term over which the related
compensation expense will be recorded because the employee is not required to be
employed at the time the market condition is achieved in order to vest in the
award. As such, all service conditions were met and, in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC
                                       43

718"), the company recorded a charge to stock compensation of $23.9 million on
the Merger Date for the full fair value of the employee and management Earnout
Shares awarded.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach,
which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current
year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the financial or tax returns. The
measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the
future consequences of differences between financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, the Company
evaluates the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated
by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded
when it is more likely than not that either some portion or the entire deferred
tax asset will not be realized. The Company records a valuation allowance to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more
likely than not to be realized. We regularly review the deferred tax assets for
recoverability based on historical taxable income or loss, projected future
taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing
temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Our judgment regarding future
profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions
and the ability to successfully execute the business plans and/or tax planning
strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax
assets, our income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in
which the assessment is changed.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is
more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its
technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authorities'
administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefits recognized from such
positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being recognized upon settlement. The Company did not recognize
any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Accounting for Warrants



The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or
liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments'
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the
instruments are free standing financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet
the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments
meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including
whether the instruments are indexed to the Company's own common shares and
whether the instrument holders could potentially require "net cash settlement"
in a circumstance outside of the Company's control, among other conditions for
equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent
period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Management has concluded
that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the
Business Combination qualify for equity accounting treatment. Additionally, the
Company considers its warrants ("Lender Warrants") issued in conjunction with
the Blue Torch Financing Arrangement (see   Note 9 - Debt   for additional
detail) to be equity classified since they do not meet the liability
classification criteria. For further detail on the Company's Warrants (Public,
Private and Lender), refer to   Note 10 - Stockholders' Deficit and Mezzanine
Equity  .

Forward Share Purchase Agreements



The Company accounts for the Forward Share Purchase Agreements ("FPAs"") as a
liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because it
embodies an obligation to repurchase the Company's shares by paying cash.
Therefore, the option is classified as a current liability and is measured at
fair value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The
unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of the FPAs is
reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.This liability
is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any
change in fair value is recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

In developing these estimates management makes subjective and complex judgments
that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and
circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates,
management believes the amounts provided are appropriate based upon the facts
available upon compilation of the financial statements.
