| We delivered revenue of $55.1 million results that represented 32% year-over-year growth, yielding sequential growth acceleration throughout each quarter in 2023 |
| So, we feel good about the economics here and the fact that the rule that we could do so in a highly efficient manner that introduces us to a large number of verse |

| A year ago as we headed into 2023, we believed the transition to a learning membership model would lead to more attractive unit level economics, broader customer appeal, longer duration and higher lifetime value customer relationships, higher growth margin, and a more scalable and efficient operating model |
| We also thought that learning memberships would serve as an easier platform from which to drive innovation and incremental growth given our ability to add new product capabilities into the existing all-access subscription offering thereby making the offerings more appealing and engaging |
| And I think we have good signal there |
| Moving down the P&L, record quarterly gross profit of $39.2 million in the fourth quarter increased 33% year-over-year |

| We believe these substantial improvements position us for adjusted EBITDA profitability and being operating cash flow positive for the full year in 2024 and beyond |
| So it's dramatically bigger and it speaks to the improvements that we've made in the product offering itself combined with the fact that we believe that there's a emerging multibillion-dollar industry being more within K-12 tutoring that we're very excited about |
| And so, we feel like we're well positioned to participate in a variety of different state programs, local programs in that as you think about the different the funding environment including federal funding, there's going to be a good broad support for continuing to fund something as attractive as a tutoring |
| Once we reach the second half of the year, when Package revenues are no longer included in prior year comparable quarterly revenues, we expect growth to accelerate consistent with the sequential quarterly acceleration we delivered in 2023 |
| During the year our investments in AI allowed for us to rapidly develop learning experiences involving the real-time generation of content with near zero costs, improve our ability to deliver live human interaction and personalized learning at scale, provide new superpowers to experts and learners on the platform and allowed us to remove substantial operating costs from our business |
