NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, about Skillz Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going to,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this report.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, as supplemented by our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including among other things:
Our rapid growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to attract and retain end-users.
Our business could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth effectively.
We have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve profitability.
We rely on our third-party developer partners to continue to offer a competitive experience in existing and new games on our platform.


A limited number of games account for a substantial portion of our revenue.
We rely on third-party service providers including cloud computing services, payment processors, and infrastructure service providers, and if we cannot manage our relationships with such providers or lose access to such services, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.
Failure to maintain our brand and reputation could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The broader entertainment industry is highly competitive and our existing and potential users may be attracted to competing forms of entertainment.
Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, which are subject to change and could adversely affect our business.
Failure to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Economic downturns and political and market conditions beyond our control could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence of a data breach or other failure of our cybersecurity.
Failure to properly contain COVID-19 or another global pandemic in a timely manner could materially affect how we and our business partners are operating.
Exercise of our outstanding warrants would result in dilution to our stockholders.
The valuation of our warrants could increase the volatility in our net loss.
These statements are based on our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and projections in light of information currently available to us, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events, except as required by law.
You should carefully consider the above factors, as well as the factors discussed in other risks described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, as supplemented by our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The factors identified above should not be construed as an exhaustive list of factors that could affect our future results and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. If any of these trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, revenue and financial results could be harmed, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

1. OrganizationDescription of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Business Operations

Incorporation

Skillz is a mobile eSports platform, driving the future of entertainment by accelerating the convergence of sports, video games and media. The Company’s principal activities are to develop and support a proprietary online-hosted technology platform that enables independent game developers to host tournaments and provide competitive gaming activity (“Competitions”) to end-users worldwide.
The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on March 2, 2020 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Flying Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”(“FEAC”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 15, 2020.

Sponsor

The Company’s sponsor is Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). Harry E. Sloan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Eli Baker, the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, are members of the Sponsor.

Fiscal Year End

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Business Purpose

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination withinvolving FEAC and one or more operating businesses that it has not yet selected (“Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its initial public offering of Unitsbusinesses. On December 16, 2020 (the “Public Offering”“Closing”), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination.

Financing

The Sponsor intends to finance a Business Combination in part with proceeds from the $690,000,000 Public Offering and an approximately $15,050,000 private placement (the “Private Placement”), see Notes 3 and 4. The registration statement for the Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2020. The Company consummated the Public Offering of 69,000,000 units, including the issuance of 9,000,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit on March 10, 2020, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placementmerger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated September 1, 2020, by and among, FEAC, Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Skillz Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Skillz”) and Andrew Paradise (the “Founder”), solely in his capacity as the representative of an aggregatethe stockholders of 10,033,333 warrantsOld Skillz.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between FEAC and Old Skillz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Old Skillz, with Old Skillz surviving as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FEAC (the “Private Placement Warrants”“Merger” and collectively with the other transaction described in the Merger Agreement, the “FEAC Business Combination”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. Upon. On the closing date of the Public Offeringbusiness combination, FEAC changed its name to Skillz Inc. (the “Company” or “Skillz”) and Private Placement, $690,000,000 fromOld Skillz changed its name to Skillz Platform Inc. The Company’s common stock is now listed on the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”).

Trust Account

The proceeds held in the Trust Account were invested in permitted United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgatedNYSE under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

The Company’s second amendedsymbol “SKLZ” and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be releasedwarrants to the Company to fund working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000) and/or to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) included in the Units sold in the Public Offering properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% ofpurchase the common stock included in the Units being sold in the Public Offering if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closingat an exercise price of the Public Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata$11.50 per share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earnedwere listed on the funds held inNYSE under the Trust Accountsymbol “SKLZ.WS.”

Skillz Platform Inc. was originally formed as Professional Gaming, LLC on March 28, 2012, changed its name to Lookout Gaming, LLC on May 18, 2012, and not previously released to the CompanySkillz LLC on January 31, 2013, before converting to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000) and/or to pay taxes, or (ii) provide stockholdersa Delaware corporation with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by meansname Skillz Inc. on April 29, 2013.
Basis of a tender offer for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements and/or to pay taxes. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of thePresentation
The Company’s initial Business Combination and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote in connection with a Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account but not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000) and/or to pay taxes. As a result, such common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with FASB, ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

The Company has 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering to complete its Business Combination (or until March 10, 2022). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest, but less income taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company’s executive officers and independent directors (the “initial stockholders”) entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the initial stockholders or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’scondensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollarshave been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger between Merger Sub and Old Skillz was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, FEAC was treated as the “acquired” company and Old Skillz was treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Old Skillz issuing stock for the net assets of FEAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FEAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Old Skillz was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following predominant factors:
Old Skillz’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the Company;
The largest individual minority stockholder in the Company is an existing stockholder of Old Skillz;
Old Skillz’s directors represented the majority of the new board of directors of the Company;
Old Skillz’s senior management is the senior management of the Company; and
Old Skillz is the larger entity based on historical revenue and has the larger employee base.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in tables are in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Old Skillz. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 0.7471 established in the Business Combination.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interimunaudited condensed consolidated financial information provided is unaudited, but includesstatements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments whichthat are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2020.interim periods. Operating results for the periodthree and nine months ended March 31, 2020September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected throughfor the year ending December 31, 2020 and2021. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s auditedconsolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s prospectusAnnual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020, and the Company’s audited balance sheet and notes theretoMay 13, 2021.

Comprehensive Loss
Through September 30, 2021, there are no components of comprehensive loss which are not included in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average numberloss; therefore, a separate statement of common shares outstanding for the period. The Companycomprehensive loss has not considered the effectbeen presented.

2. Summary of the warrants sold in the Public Offering (including the over-allotment) and private placement warrants to purchase approximately 17,250,000 and 10,033,333 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, respectively, in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of net income per share for common shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per common share for basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $207,664, net of franchise taxes of $40,548, working capital up to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000, and income taxes of $34,118, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock since issuance. Net loss per common share for basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, which excludes income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilitiesthe related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, andas well as the reported amounts of revenuerevenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is at least reasonably possible thatperiods presented. Estimates are used in several areas including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, valuation of Public and Private Common Stock Warrants, the estimatefair values of goodwill and intangible assets and the useful lives of the effectCompany’s intangible assets. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of a condition, situation or setwhich form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future conforming events.assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from thosethese estimates.

Cash


Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all its revenues by providing a service to the game developers aimed at improving the monetization of their game content. The monetization service provided by Skillz allows developers to offer multi-player competition to their end-users which increases end-user retention and Cash Equivalents

For purposesengagement. Skillz provides developers with a software development kit (“SDK”) that they can download and integrate with their existing games. The SDK serves as a data interface between Skillz and the game developers that enables Skillz to provide monetization services to the developer.

The Company recognizes revenue for its services in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
The Company applies the five-step model to achieve the core principle of ASC 606. The Company determined that its customer in the provision of its technology platform and services is the game developer. The Company’s ordinary activities consist of providing game developers services through access to its technology platform using the Skillz SDK. The SDK acts as an application programming interface enabling communication of data between Skillz and the game developers, which when integrated with the developer’s game content, facilitates end-user registration into Competitions, managing and hosting end-user Competition accounts, matching players of similar skill levels, collecting end-user entry fees, distributing end-user prizes,

SKILLZ INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in tables are in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
resolving end-user disputes pertaining to their participation in Competitions, and running third-party marketing campaigns (“Monetization Services”).
The Company provides Monetization Services to game developers enabling them to offer competitive games to their end-users. These activities are not distinct from each other as the Company provides an integrated service enabling the game developers to provide the competitive game service to the end-users, and as a result, they do not represent separate performance obligations. The Company is entitled to a revenue share based on total entry fees for paid Competitions, regardless of how they are paid, net of end-user prizes (i.e., winnings from the Competitions) and other costs to provide the Monetization Services. The game developers’ revenue share, however, is calculated solely based upon entry fees paid by net cash deposits received from end-users. End-user incentives are not paid for by game developers. In addition, the Company reduces revenue for end-user incentives which are treated as a reduction of revenue.
The Company collects the entry fees and related charges from end-users on behalf of game developers using the end-user’s pre-authorized credit card or PayPal account and withholds its fees before making the remaining disbursement to the game developer; thus, the game developer’s ability and intent to pay is not subject to significant judgment.
Revenue is recognized at the time the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the statementpromised service in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the Monetization Services. The Company recognizes revenue upon completion of cash flows,a game, which is when its performance obligation to the game developer is satisfied. The Company does not have contract assets or contract liabilities as the payment of the transaction price is concurrent with the fulfillment of the services. At the time of game completion, the Company has the right to receive payment for the services rendered. The Company’s agreements with game developers can generally be terminated for convenience by either party upon thirty days prior written notice, and in certain of our larger developer agreements, the developer, if required by the Company, must continue to make its games available on the platform for a period of up to twelve months. As the Company is able to terminate the developer agreements at its convenience, the Company has concluded the contract term for revenue recognition does not extend beyond the contractual notification period. The Company does not have any transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Games provided by two developer partners accounted for 43% and 37% of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 56% and 31% of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Games provided by two developer partners accounted for 43% and 39% of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 63% and 25% of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company generated less than 12% and 10% of its revenue from users outside of North America, respectively.
End-User Incentive Programs
To drive traffic to the platform, the Company provides promotions and incentives to end-users in various forms. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives which are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the Company pays or promises to pay the incentive. Promotions and incentives recorded as sales and marketing expense are recognized when the related cost is incurred by the Company. In either case, the promotions and incentives are recognized when they are used by end-users to enter into a paid Competition.

Marketing promotions and discounts accounted for as a reduction of revenue. These promotions are typically pricing actions in the form of discounts that reduce the end-user entry fees and are offered on behalf of the game developers. Although not required based on the Company’s agreement with its developers, the Company considers that the game developers have a valid expectation that certain incentives will be offered to end-users. The determination of a valid expectation is based on the evaluation of all highly liquid debt instruments purchasedinformation reasonably available to the game developers regarding the Company’s customary business practices, published policies and specific statements.

An example of an incentive for which the game developer has a valid expectation is Ticketz, which are a virtual currency earned for every Competition played based on the amount of the entry fee (“Ticketz”). Ticketz can be

SKILLZ INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in tables are in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
redeemed for prizes, including bonus cash prizes, a promotional incentive that cannot be withdrawn and can only be used by end-users to enter into paid entry fee contests (“Bonus Cash”). Another example is initial deposit Bonus Cash which is a promotional incentive that can be earned in fixed amounts when an end-user makes an initial deposit on the Skillz platform. Bonus Cash can only be used by end-users to enter into future paid entry fee Competitions and cannot be withdrawn by end-users.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a reduction of revenue of $18.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a reduction of revenue of $54.9 million and $36.6 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives.
Marketing promotions accounted for as sales and marketing expense. When the Company concludes that the game developers do not have a valid expectation that the incentive will be offered, the Company records the related cost as sales and marketing expense. The Company’s assessment is based on an evaluation of all information reasonably available to the game developers regarding the Company’s customary business practices, published policies and specific statements. These promotions are offered to end-users to draw, re-engage, or generally increase end-users’ use of the Company’s platform.
An example of this type of incentive is limited-time Bonus Cash offers, which are targeted to specific end-users, typically those who deposit more frequently or have not made a deposit recently, via email or in-app promotions. The Company targets groups of end-users differently, offering specific promotions it thinks will best stimulate engagement. Similar to Bonus Cash earned from a redemption of Ticketz or an initial deposit, limited-time Bonus Cash can only be used by end-users to enter into future paid entry fee competitions and cannot be withdrawn by end-users. The Company also hosts engagement marketing leagues run over a period of days or weeks, which award league prizes in the form of cash or luxury goods to end-users with an original maturitythe most medals at the end of the league. End-users accumulate medals by winning Skillz enabled paid entry fee Competitions. Skillz determines whether or not to run a league, what prizes should be awarded, over what time period the league should run, and to which end-users the prizes should be paid, all at its discretion. The league parameters vary from one league to the next and are not reasonably known to the game developers. League prizes in the form of cash can be withdrawn or used by end-users to enter into future paid entry fee Competitions.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized sales and marketing expense of $47.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized sales and marketing expense of $122.6 million and $61.4 million, respectively, related to these end-user incentives. Including all other engagement marketing programs, total engagement marketing included in sales and marketing expense was $50.0 million and $26.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 total engagement marketing was $130.9 million and $67.2 million, respectively.
Refunds
From time to time, the Company issues credits or refunds to end-users that are unsatisfied by the level of service provided by the game developer. There is no contractual obligation for the Company to refund such end-users nor is there a valid expectation by the game developers for the Company to issue such credits or refunds to end-users on their behalf. The Company accounts for credits or refunds, which are not recoverable from the game developer, as sales and marketing expenses when incurred.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted cash maintained under an agreement that legally restricts the use of such funds is not included within cash and cash equivalents and is reported within other long-term assets. Restricted cash is comprised of $2.9 million which is pledged in the form of a letter of credit for the Company’s new headquarters in San Francisco.

Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, is comprised of trade accounts receivable recorded at the invoiced amounts for programmatic media campaigns, net of an allowance for expected losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount that management believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s reserve recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable was not significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s estimate of assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be cash equivalents.

Class A Common Stock Subjectconsistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to Possible Redemption

As discussedmaximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in Note 1, alltheir entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Business Combinations
The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the 69,000,000 sharesacquisition. The Company uses the acquisition method of Class A common stock sold as partaccounting and allocates the purchase price, including the fair value of any non-cash consideration, to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Unitsrelevant acquired business at their acquisition date fair values. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the Company to perform valuations with significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The Company engages the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expense in the Public Offering containconsolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a redemption featurebusiness combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which allowsis the same or one level below the operating segment. The Company has 1 operating segment: Skillz Platform, Inc. The Company identifies its reporting unit by assessing whether there are components of its operating segment which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by segment managers. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist during the fiscal year. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, loss of key customers, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the redemptionCompany’s overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results of sharesoperations.

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment. If the Company determines it is not more likely than not a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then no further analysis is necessary. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the Company compares the estimated fair value of Class A commonthe reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then such balance would be recorded as an impairment loss. Any impairment loss is limited to the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant equipment and intangible assets with estimable useful lives subject to depreciation and amortization. Intangible assets consist of purchased intangible assets including developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames and are amortized over their useful lives ranging from one to eight years using the straight-line method of amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of the
10

(Unaudited, amounts in tables are in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group.

Investment in Non-Marketable Equity Securities
The Company has elected to measure its existing investments in non-marketable equity securities at cost, less impairments, with remeasurements to fair value only upon the occurrence of observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar securities of the same issuer (“measurement alternative”). This election is reassessed each reporting period to determine whether non-marketable equity securities have a readily determinable fair value, in which case they would no longer be eligible for this election. The Company evaluates its non-marketable equity securities for impairment at each reporting period based on a qualitative assessment that considers various potential impairment indicators. Impairment indicators might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar securities for an amount less than the carrying amount of the investments in those securities. If an impairment exists, a loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of non-marketable equity securities, including impairment, are recorded through other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company separately presents investments in non-marketable equity securities within long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising and Promotional Expense
Advertising and promotional expenses are included in sales and marketing expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and are expensed when incurred, not including marketing promotions related to the Company’s end-user incentive programs. Advertising expenses were $55.2 million and $43.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $156.6 million and $96.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Public and Private Common Stock Warrant Liabilities
As part of FEAC’s initial public offering, FEAC issued to third party investors 69.0 million units, consisting of 1 share of Class A common stock shall be affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

Accordingly, at March 31, 2020, 66,162,062 of the 69,000,000 sharesFEAC and one-fourth of Class A common stock included in the Units were classified outside of permanent equity at approximately $10.00 per share.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs of $38,586,442 consisting principally of underwriters' discounts of $37,950,000 (including $24,150,000 of which payment is deferred) and $636,442 of professional, printing, filing, regulatory and other costs incurred through March 31, 2020 that were related to the Public Offering were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company's current taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company's general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. During the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $34,000.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Public Offering

Public Units

In the Public Offering, which closed March 10, 2020, the Company sold 69,000,000 Unitsone warrant, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”).unit. Each whole Warrantwarrant entitles the holder to purchase one1 share of Class A Common Stockcommon stock at aan exercise price of $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination and 12 months fromshare (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of FEAC’s initial public offering, FEAC completed the Public Offering. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 9,000,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotment, at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company issued 9,000,000 Units in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option in full.

Underwriting Commissions

The Company paid an underwriting discount of $13,800,000 ($0.20 per Unit sold) to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering on March 10, 2020, with an additional fee (“Deferred Discount”) of $24,150,000 ($0.35 per Unit sold) payable upon the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 15, 2020, the Sponsor received 11,500,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share.

The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

On February 10, 2020, the Company effected a 1:1.25 stock split of the Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 14,375,000 Founder Shares. On March 2, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of Scott M. Delman and Joshua Kazam, directors of the Company, (together with the Sponsor, the “initial stockholders”) for an aggregate purchase price of $80 (the same per-share price initially paid by the Sponsor), resulting in the Sponsor holding 14,335,000 Founder Shares and each of Messrs. Delman and Kazam holding 20,000 Founder Shares. On March 5, 2020, the Company effected a 1:1.2 stock split of the Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 17,210,000 Founder Shares and each of Messrs. Delman and Kazam holding 20,000 Founder Shares, for a total of 17,250,000 Founder Shares outstanding. The shares and the associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1:1.25 stock split of each outstanding share of Class B common stock in February 2020 and the 1:1.2 stock split in March 2020.

The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

In conjunction with the Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregateprivate sale of 10,033,333 Private Placement Warrants,warrants to FEAC’s sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant (approximately $15,050,000 in(the “Private Warrants”).

The Private Placement Warrants (includingand the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants)Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initiala Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and they are non-redeemable for cash so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable for cash by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units sold inPublic Warrants.
The Company evaluated the Public Offering.

Specifically, the exercise of the Public and Private Common Stock Warrants sold as partmay be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of the UnitsCompany’s Class A stockholders. As there are two classes of common stock, not all of the stockholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the Public Offering and have no netpotential cash settlement provisions.

Ifand the Company does not completecontrol the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Public and Private Common Stock Warrants meet the definition of a Business Combination, thenderivative under ASC 815, the proceeds will be partCompany recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. Because the Public Warrants were publicly traded and thus had an observable market price in an active market, they were valued based on their trading price as of each reporting date.

The Private Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option (“BSM”) pricing model that is based on the individual characteristics of the liquidating distribution towarrants on the public stockholdersvaluation date, which include the Company’s stock price and assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate, as well as the Warrants issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless.

Increases in the fair value of the underlying stock or increases in the volatility of the stock price generally result in a corresponding increase in the fair value of the warrant liability; conversely, decreases in the fair value of the underlying stock or decreases in the volatility of the stock price generally result in a corresponding decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability.


Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to registration rights pursuanthedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including its long-term debt, preferred stock and stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives and freestanding derivative financial instruments that are classified as assets or liabilities are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as a registration rights agreement, requiringcomponent of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated grant-date fair values recognized over the requisite service period. For awards that vest solely based on a service condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The compensation expense related to awards with performance conditions is recognized over the requisite service period when the performance conditions are probable of being achieved. The compensation expense related to awards with market conditions is recognized on an accelerated attribution basis over the requisite service period identified as the derived service period over which the market conditions are expected to be achieved, and is not reversed if the market condition is not satisfied.

information. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based awards granted to employees are primarily stock options.
The fair value of stock options that vest solely based on a service condition is determined by the BSM pricing model on the date of grant. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to registermake assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the BSM model, including the deemed fair value of common stock, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. These judgments are made as follows:
Fair value of common stock —Subsequent to the Business Combination, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is based on the closing market price on the date of grant. Prior to the Business Combination, the absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock required the Company to estimate the fair value of common stock for purposes of granting stock options and for determining stock-based compensation expense for the periods presented.
The Company considered numerous factors in assessing the fair value of common stock prior to the Business Combination, including:
The results of contemporaneous unrelated third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock
The prices of the recent redeemable convertible preferred stock sales by the Company to investors
The rights, preferences, and privileges of preferred stock relative to those of common stock
Market multiples of comparable public companies in the industry as indicated by their market capitalization and guideline merger and acquisition transactions
The Company’s performance and market position relative to competitors, which may change from time to time
The Company’s historical financial results and estimated trends and prospects for the Company’s future performance

average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies in its industry group. The Company estimates the expected term based on various exercise scenarios, as these awards are not considered “plain vanilla.” The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company estimates the expected date of a qualifying event, the expected capital raise percentage and the expected achievement date of market capitalization milestones based on management’s expectations at the time of measurement of the award’s value.

Segments
As a result of the acquisition of Aarki, the Company is currently evaluating the impact to its operating and reportable segment based on how the business combination.will be managed going forward. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company continued to operate as a single operating and reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, at the Company level, for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and evaluating financial performance.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have material revenue earned or assets located outside of the United States.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. Effective as of December 31, 2021, the Company is expected to become a large accelerated filer and is expected to cease to be an EGC. As a result, the Company will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the fair value measurement alternative. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively. Under a prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments at the beginning of the interim period that includes the adoption date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for public companies, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and adoption must be as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract should be presented as a prepaid asset in the balance sheet and expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement to the same line item in the statement of operations as the costs related to the hosting fees. For public business entities, this standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after adoption.

Sponsor Loans

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $300,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. The Note was payable without interest on the earlier ofits annual period ending December 31, 2020 or the completion of the Public Offering. As of March 31, 2020, there was $230,885 outstanding under the Note.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement in which the Company will reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, utilities2021 and secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team in an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month. For the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2020, the Company incurred no administrative services expenses under the arrangement. The administrative services fee will commence April 1, 2020.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. The terms of such loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. To date, the Company had no borrowings under any working capital loan.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Underwriting Agreement

The Company is committed to pay the Deferred Discount totaling $24,150,000, or 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriters upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriters if there is no Business Combination.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicadopting this standard on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's, or its target’s, financial position, results of its operations and/or completion of the Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of theseconsolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcomestandard requires more timely recognition of this uncertainty.

6. Trust Account

The fair value of the Company’scredit losses on loans and other financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimatealso provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. An entity should apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for non-public companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2021 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance or implementation guidance including ASU 2017-13, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01 (collectively, including ASU 2016-02, “ASC 842”), which supersedes the guidance in topic ASC 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether related expenses are recognized based on the effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For any leases with a term of greater than 12 months, ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make the lease payments arising from a lease, and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. An election can be made to account for leases with a term of 12 months or less similar to existing guidance for operating leases under ASC 840. The new standard will also require new disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For non-public entities, ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the final stage of its assessment of the new standard and is currently evaluating the quantitative impact of adoption, and the related disclosure requirements. The Company expects that the Company would have receivedadoption will result in connection with the salerecognition of theright-of-use assets or paid in connection with the transfer of theand lease liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of itsthat were not previously recognized, which will increase total assets and liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 842 to have a material impact to the statements of operations or to have any impact on its cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
3. Business Combinations
Business Combination with Flying Eagle Acquisition Corp.
As discussed in Note 1, on December 16, 2020, the Company seeks to maximizeconsummated the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimizeMerger Agreement dated September 1, 2020, with Old Skillz surviving the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value onmerger as a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchywholly owned subsidiary of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Pursuant to one votethe Merger Agreement, Eagle Equity Partners II, LLC (the “Sponsor”) delivered 10,000,000 of its shares of FEAC Class B common stock into escrow that were subject to forfeiture if certain earnout conditions described more fully in the Merger Agreement were not satisfied. The earnout conditions have been fully satisfied and, in March 2021, the Earnout Shares (as defined below) were released from escrow in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. When the earnout conditions were fully satisfied, 5,000,000 of such shares were released to the Sponsor in the form of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), and the other 5,000,000 shares were released to the Old Skillz stockholders (the “Skillz Earnout Shares”, and collectively with the Sponsor Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”), who received shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the FEAC Business Combination in the form of shares of Class A common stock of the Company (other than the Founder and a trust for each share. Asthe benefit of March 31, 2020, there were 17,250,000his family members, who received shares of Class B common stock of the Company). The Earnout Shares are accounted for as equity classified equity instruments, were included as merger consideration as part of the Reverse Recapitalization, and recorded in additional paid-in capital.
In connection with the FEAC Business Combination, certain institutional investors (the “Investors”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 15,853,052 shares of Class A common stock (the “Private Placement”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $158.5 million (the “Private Placement Shares”), pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into effective as of September 1, 2020.
The FEAC Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, FEAC was treated as the “acquired” company and Old Skillz is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the FEAC Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Old Skillz issuing stock for the net assets of FEAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FEAC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Upon the closing of the FEAC Business Combination, the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 635,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, 500,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock, 125,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock, and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.
Acquisition of Aarki, Inc.
On July 16, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Aarki, Inc. (“Aarki”) and acquired 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interest of Aarki under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company transferred $162.3 million in consideration comprised of $95.3 million in cash and the remaining $67.1 million comprised of 4.4 million shares of Skillz Class A common stock to the existing Aarki stockholders. The addition of Aarki’s technology-driven marketing platform will result in significant efficiencies in user-acquisition costs, which can be reinvested to acquire more users to accelerate growth and provide a broader product offering, including media buying capabilities to better serve game developers. The financial results of Aarki have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
The Company has included the financial results of Aarki in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Aarki contributed revenue of $5.4 million and a net loss of $2.8 million.

Assumptions in the Allocation of Purchase Price
The Company prepared the purchase price allocation for Aarki and considered or relied upon reports of a third party valuation expert to calculate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Estimates of fair value require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the acquired workforce, expected cost-saving synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from use of the Aarki technology-driven marketing platform with the operations of Skillz. The goodwill recorded in connection with the Aarki acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Certain liabilities included in the purchase price allocation are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts to be paid or settled and based on information available at the time the purchase price allocations were prepared. Updates to the

valuations of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and including our evaluation of certain tax positions may result in changes to the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities, with corresponding adjustments to goodwill amounts in subsequent periods. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocations within 12 months of the acquisition date.
The fair value of the identified intangible assets acquired from the Aarki acquisition was estimated using income approaches. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. More specifically, the fair value of the developed technology was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”). MPEEM is an income approach to the fair value measurement attributable to a specific intangible asset being valued from the asset grouping’s overall cash-flow stream. MPEEM isolates the expected future discounted cash-flow stream to its net present value. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the developed technology intangible asset were the projected revenue, gross margins, operating expenses, technology migration curve and research and development costs attributed to maintenance of the acquired technology, along with the discount rate used to derive the estimated present value of future cash flows. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the "with and without" income approach, which measures the difference between cash flows generated assuming the existence of the current customer relationships and the cash flows assuming those relationships do not exist and are replaced over time. Estimated costs on projected revenues, excluding acquired contract backlog, were made using historical data pertaining to sales to new and existing customers. The Company valued the finite-lived trademark and trade name using the relief-from-royalty method income approach. The Company applied judgment which involved the use of significant assumptions with respect to its income forecast such as the level and timing of future cash flows. We believe the level and timing of expected future cash flows appropriately reflects market participant assumptions.
Transaction Costs
The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $6.0 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, in connection with the business combination for legal, accounting and other professional services fees. These costs are included in the general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Direct and incremental transaction costs related to equity offerings that would not otherwise have been incurred are treated as a reduction of the cash proceeds and are deducted from the Company’s additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, $0.1 million was incurred related to equity issuance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in connection with the issuance of Skillz Class A shares to the Aarki stockholders.

The Company records a par valueliability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of $0.0001 per share. loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of loss. In the Company’s opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, cash flows, or the Company’s financial position, as of September 30, 2021. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period. However, based on the information known by the Company, except as set forth herein, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated range of any such possible loss.

On May 15, 2019, a former employee of the Company filed a suit against the Company in California for claims including breach of contract, retaliation and wrongful termination. The case was tried in September 2021 and the jury ruled in favor of the former employee and rendered a verdict against the Company for $11.6 million in compensatory damages. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a loss contingency accrual and corresponding general and administrative expense for this amount.

Equity Incentive Plans
Skillz Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In December 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Skillz Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination and succeeds the Company’s legacy equity incentive plans. Under the 2020 Plan, the Company may grant stock-based awards to purchase or directly issue shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants. Options are granted at a price per share equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Options granted are exercisable over a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are also granted under the 2020 Plan. These awards typically have a cliff vesting period of 1 year and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The 2020 Plan also permits the Company to grant stock-based awards with performance or market conditions. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into certain option agreements that include vesting conditions contingent upon the attainment of volume weighted average price targets related to the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the 10 trading days endingcommon stock on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

The number of unvested stock options as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 does not include 9.1 million and 13.3 million shares of restricted common stock, respectively, previously issued upon the early exercise of grants by certain executives.
The number of RSUs granted does not include 0.2 million performance based RSUs which the Company issued in 2021 and 2020, as the performance-based RSUs are not deemed granted for accounting purposes. The number of RSUs granted excludes 16.1 million of performance stock units granted during September 2021 to the Chief Executive Officer. Refer to the 2021 CEO Performance Award disclosure below for further details.
As of September 30, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, restricted common stock, RSUs, performance-based RSUs and performance stock units was $233.7 million. The weighted-average period over which such compensation expense will be recognized is 3.52 years.

On May 4, 2021, the Company entered into a transition and release agreement providing for Mr. Henry’s retirement from his position as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, effective June 20, 2021. As part of the transition and release agreement, certain stock options of the CFO were modified to vest through August 10, 2021, the separation date, based on Mr. Henry’s continuous service to the Company in an executive advisor role from June 21, 2021 through the separation date. This modification resulted in $6.4 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations through the third quarter of 2021. The Company recognized $2.7 million and $6.4 million of this expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $47.8 million and $20.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $59.6 million and $47.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted and the resulting fair values for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

2021 CEO Performance Award
In September 2021, the Company granted the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), an award of up to 16.1 million performance stock units (the “CEO Performance Award”) under the Company’s 2020 Plan, pursuant to which the CEO may earn one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (withfor each performance stock unit that vests based on the achievement of certain Market Capitalization Milestones (as defined in the award agreement for the CEO Performance Award, the “Award Agreement”).
The performance stock units are divided into four tranches, with each tranche corresponding to a Market Capitalization Milestone ranging from 2 to 5 times the Company’s market capitalization baseline. Each tranche will vest if and when the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds the corresponding Market Capitalization Milestone at any point during the seven-year performance period following the grant date (the “Performance Period”). For purposes of determining achievement of the Market Capitalization Milestones, the Company’s market capitalization is calculated based on the trailing 60-trading day

volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Class A common stock and the average number of outstanding shares during such issueperiod. At the end of the Performance Period, a tranche may vest pro-rata using straight-line interpolation. The Company’s market capitalization baseline is calculated using the trailing 30-trading day VWAP of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date and the average number of outstanding shares during such period.
The CEO’s service as Chief Executive Officer (or Chairman and Chief Product Officer) of the Company other than (i) by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Award Agreement) or (ii) by the CEO without Good Reason (as defined in the Award Agreement), any unvested tranche will remain outstanding until the earlier of nine months following such termination of service and the end of the Performance Period and will vest if and when the Market Capitalization Milestones are achieved. Any unvested performance stock units will be forfeited automatically upon any other termination of the CEO’s service as Chief Executive Officer (or Chairman and Chief Product Officer) of the Company.
If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, any unvested tranche shall vest as of the effective time of such Change in Control to the extent that the Market Capitalization Milestones are achieved, using the higher of (1) the Company’s 60-trading day VWAP prior to the effective time of the Change in Control and (2) the price or effective issue price to be determined in good faithper share received by the Company’s board of directors and,stockholders in the caseChange in Control.
The $70.8 million grant date fair value of the CEO Performance Award was estimated using a model based on multiple stock price paths developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates into the valuation the possibility that the market condition targets may not be satisfied. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.8 million in compensation expense related to this grant. As of September 30, 2021, the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested CEO Performance Award was $70.0 million. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 4.14 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2021, the Company commenced its first offering period under the Skillz, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the employee Stock Purchase Plan), which assists employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company and encourages them to remain in the employment of the Company. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during specified offering periods. No employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of stock in any such issuancecalendar year. The price of shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. The total Employee Stock Purchase plan expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
11. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax (benefit) provision was $(18.9) million and $47 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represents an effective tax rate for the respective periods of (59.45)% and (0.11)%. The Company’s income tax (benefit) provision was $(18.8) million and $100 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represents an effective tax rate for the respective periods of 18.60% and (0.13)%. The Company has historically been in an overall loss position and is only subject to state and foreign taxes. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets. The purchase accounting for the Aarki acquisition gave rise to a deferred tax liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021; this resulted in a partial release of prior valuation allowance and a discrete benefit of $19.0 million was recorded. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into accountdiscrete benefit from the partial release of the valuation allowance, as well as due to foreign taxes and state taxes.
12. Related-Party Transactions
The Company did not have any Founder Shares held bysignificant related party transactions in the initial stockholders or such affiliates,three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 other than equity awards made to certain executives and the secondary sale as applicable,part of the follow-on offering.

Overview
We operate a marketplace that connects the world through competition, serving both developers and users. Our platform enables fair, fun and competitive gaming experiences and the trust we foster with users is the foundation upon which our community is built. We believe our marketplace benefits from a powerful network effect: compelling content attracts users to our platform, while the increasing size of our audience attracts more developers to create new interactive experiences on our platform.
Skillz was founded in 2012 by Andrew Paradise and Casey Chafkin with the vision to make eSports accessible to everyone possible. As of the three months ended September 30, 2021, the platform had 3.0 million monthly active users (“MAUs”) and hosts an average of over 6 million daily tournaments, including 2 million paid entry daily tournaments, offering over $150 million in prizes each month. As of September 30, 2021, we had over 10,000 registered game developers on our platform that have launched a game integration.
Our culture is built upon a set of values established by our founders, aligning the company and its employees in a common vision. Our seven values are: Honor; Mission; Collaboration; Productivity; Willingness; Frugality; and Balance. Our approach has focused on trust and fairness for users enabling game developers to focus on what they do best: build great content.
Our technology capabilities are industry-leading and provide the tools necessary for developers to compete with the largest and most sophisticated mobile game developers in the world. Our easy-to-integrate software development kit (“SDK”) and developer console allow our developers to monitor, integrate and update their games seamlessly over the air. We ingest and analyze over 300 data points from each game play session, enhancing our data-driven algorithms and LiveOps systems. Moreover, we have developed a robust platform enabling fun, fair and meaningful competitive gameplay.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the games Solitaire Cube, 21 Blitz and Blackout Bingo accounted for 71% and 77%, respectively, of our revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the developers Tether and Big Run accounted for 43% and 37%, respectively, of our revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, Tether and Big Run accounted for 56% and 31%, respectively, of our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Solitaire Cube, 21 Blitz and Blackout Bingo account for 73% and 79%, respectively, of our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Tether and Big Run accounted for 43% and 39%, respectively, of our revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Tether and Big Run accounted for 63% and 25%, respectively, of our revenue. Our top titles rotate over time as more games generate success on the Skillz platform. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of games that generated over $1 million of annualized GMV has grown by 10 to 45 from 35. GMV represents entry fees that may be paid using cash deposits, prior cash winnings that have not been withdrawn, and end-user incentives.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we served 3.0 million and 2.7 million MAUs, respectively, and had monthly average revenue per user (“ARPU”) of $11.40 and $7.44, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we served 2.7 million and 2.6 million MAUs, respectively, and had monthly ARPU of $11.40 and $6.93, respectively. We monitor the conversion of users to paying users based on the ratio of Paying MAU to MAU. For each of the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, our Paying MAU to MAU ratio was 17% and 13%, respectively and our Paying MAU was 0.51 million and 0.35 million, respectively and our monthly ARPPU was $66.82 and $57.84, respectively. For the nine months ended 2021 and 2020, our Paying MAU to MAU ratio was 18% and 12%, respectively, our Paying MAU was 0.48 million and 0.30 million, respectively, and our ARPPU was $63.65 and $59.72, respectively. We see a substantial opportunity for our developers to expand beyond casual content into other genres of interactive entertainment, from first-person shooters to racing games. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated less than 12% and 10% of our revenue from users outside of North America, respectively, leaving us with several large untapped international markets. We see a significant opportunity to build partnerships with brands to sponsor tournaments on our platform to both increase our brand awareness and achieve improvements in profitability through advertiser sponsored prizes.

On July 16, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Aarki, Inc. (“Aarki”) and acquired 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interest of Aarki under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company paid $162.3 million in consideration comprised of $95.3 million in cash and the remaining $67.1 million comprised of 4.4 million shares of Skillz Class A common stock to the existing Aarki stockholders. The addition of Aarki’s technology-driven marketing platform will result in significant efficiencies in user-acquisition costs, which can be reinvested to acquire more users to accelerate growth and provide a broader product offering, including media buying capabilities to better serve game developers. The financial results of Aarki have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations, of the notes thereto included elsewhereto the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Our Financial Model
Skillz’s financial model aligns the interests of gamers and developers, driving value for our stockholders. By monetizing through competition, our system eliminates friction that exists in traditional monetization models between the developer and the gamer. The more gamers enjoy our platform, the longer they play, creating more value for Skillz and our developers. By generating higher player to payor conversion, retention and engagement, we are able to monetize users at higher than what our developers would generate through advertisements or in-game purchases.
Our platform allows users to participate in fair competition, while rewarding developers who create games that keep players engaged. We generate revenue by receiving a percentage of player entry fees in paid contests, after deducting end-user prize money (i.e., winnings from the Competitions), end-user incentives accounted for as reduction of revenue and the profit share paid to developers (the “Take Rate”). GMV represents entry fees that may be paid using cash deposits, prior cash winnings that have not been withdrawn, and end-user incentives.
Cash deposits represented approximately 10% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 11% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Prior cash winnings that have not been withdrawn represented approximately 80% and 81% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 82% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. End-user incentives represented approximately 10% and 9% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively and 7% of total entry fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our model has allowed us to grow users, developers and revenue steadily while driving meaningful operating leverage.
The following are key elements of our financial model:
The scale, growth and engagement of the users — As we continue to acquire users, our ability to match comparable players, on both skill level and tournament template, in a fair and timely manner improves. Better matching leads to stronger engagement and the ability to create larger tournaments with more profitable take rates. This creates a stickier, more engaging, and continuously improving experience for our players, which in turn attracts more players to our platform, creating a positively reinforcing cycle leading to ever-improving gaming experiences. On our platform,1 we estimated the average game play per paying user was 64 and 63 minutes per day during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 64 and 60 minutes per day during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The scale, growth and partnership of our developers — We have created a platform that drives economic success for our developers. Our end-to-end platform allows developers to focus on creating games by automating and optimizing integral parts of their businesses — from user acquisition and monetization to game optimization. Our built-in payments, analytics, customer support, and live operations platform enables our developers to consistently learn, grow, earn and share in our success.
Product-first philosophy and data science capabilities — We have built a culture that puts product first, driving our impact with users and developers and then scaling marketing investment. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 43% and 41%, respectively, of our salary costs was spent on product development. Our easy-to-integrate SDK contains over 220 features in a 16-MB package which allows for over-the-air upgrades. Our intuitive Developer Console dashboard enables our developers to rapidly integrate and monitor the performance of their games. Our LiveOps system enables us to manage and optimize the user experience across the thousands of games on our platform.

We collect over 300 data points during each gameplay session to feed our big data assets which augment all elements of our platform. Our key data science technologies drive our player rating and matching, anti-cheat and anti-fraud, and user experience personalization engine.

Overview

We


Our unit economics — Our proprietary and highly scalable software platform produces revenue at a low direct cost, contributing to our gross margins. Once acquired, each user cohort contributes predictably to revenue over its life. A cohort is all the users acquired in the period presented. A user is considered part of a cohort based on the first time they make a deposit and enter a paid tournament. Once a user is considered part of a cohort, they are always counted in that cohort.
For example, our 2016 cohort contributed $6.0 million in revenue in the first year, $5.3 million in the second year, $5.3 million in the third year, $6.5 million in the fourth year, and $7.2 million in the fifth year. Our 2017 cohort contributed $10.6 million in revenue in the first year, $10.1 million in the second year. $9.2 million in the third year and $9.5 million in the fourth year. Our 2018 cohort contributed $34.1 million in revenue in the first year, $35.2 million in the second year, and $31.5 million in the third year. Our 2019 cohort contributed $69.1 million in revenue in the first year and $64.3 million in the second year. Our 2020 cohort contributed $118.6 million in revenue in the first year.

Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Skillz provides a blank check company incorporated on January 15, 2020service to the game developers aimed at improving the monetization of their game content. The monetization service provided by Skillz allows developers to offer multi-player competition to their end-users which increases end-user retention and engagement.
By utilizing the Skillz monetization services, game developers can enhance the player experience by enabling them to compete in head-to-head matches, live tournaments, leagues, and charity tournaments and increase player retention through referral bonus programs, loyalty perks, on-system achievements and Bonus Cash. Skillz provides developers with a SDK that they can download and integrate with their existing games. The SDK serves as a Delaware corporationdata interface between Skillz and formedthe game developers that enables Skillz to provide monetization services to the developer. Specifically, these monetization services include end-user registration services, player matching, fraud and fair play monitoring, and billing and settlement services. The SDK and Skillz monetization services provide the following key benefits to the developers:
Streamlined game and tournament management allowing players to register with the developer to compete in games for prizes while earning Skillz loyalty perks;
Fair play in each tournament via the Skillz suite of fairness tools, including skill-based player matching and fraud monitoring;
Improved end-user retention by rewarding the most loyal players with Ticketz which can be redeemed in the Skillz virtual store and are earned in every match and can be redeemed for prizes or credits to be used towards future paid entry fee tournaments;
Marketing campaigns through main-stream online advertising networks and social media platforms to drive end-user traffic to developers’ games within the Skillz ecosystem;
Systematic calls to end-user action via push notifications to users with game results, promotional offers, and time-sensitive actions; and
Process end-user payments, billings and settlements on behalf of the developer to enable players to connect their preferred payment method to deposit and enter into the game developers’ multi-player competitions for cash prizes.
Generally, end-users are required to deposit funds into their Skillz account in order to be eligible to participate in games for prizes. As part of its monetization services, Skillz is responsible for processing all end-user payments, billings and settlements on behalf of the game developer, such that the game developer does not have to collect directly from or make payments directly to the end-users. When the end-users enter into cash games, the end-users pay an entry fee using cash deposits, prior cash winnings in the end-users’ accounts that have not been withdrawn, and end-user incentives (specifically Bonus Cash). Skillz recognizes revenue related to each game regardless of how entry fees are paid. Skillz is responsible for distributing the prize money to the winner on behalf of the game developer. Skillz typically withholds 16% to 20% of the total entry fees when distributing the prize money as a commission. That commission is shared between Skillz and the game developers; however, the game developers’ share is calculated solely based upon entry fees paid by net cash deposits received from end-users, adjusted for certain costs incurred by Skillz to provide monetization services.

Costs and Expenses
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue consists of variable costs. These include mainly (i) payment processing fees, (ii) customer support costs, (iii) direct software costs, (iv) amortization of internal use software, (v) amortization of intangible assets which include developed technology, and (v) server costs.
We incur payment processing costs on user deposits. We also incur costs directly related to servicing end-user support tickets on behalf of the game developer that are logged by users directly within the Skillz SDK. These support costs include an allocation of the facilities expense, such as rent, maintenance and utilities costs according to headcount, needed to service these tickets. We use a third party as our cloud computing service; we incur server and software costs as a direct result of running our SDK in our developers’ games.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of software development costs, comprised mainly of product and platform development, server and software costs that support research and development activities, and to a lesser extent, allocation of rent, maintenance and utilities costs according to headcount. Personnel related expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation. We expect research and development expenses will fluctuate both in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in the future.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of direct advertising costs and end-user incentives that are not recorded as a reduction of revenue and amortization of intangible assets which include customer relationships. Sales and marketing also includes allocations of rent, maintenance and utilities costs according to headcount. Personnel related expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation. We expect sales and marketing expenses will fluctuate both in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in the future.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance, and other administrative functions, expenses for outside professional services, and allocation of rent, maintenance and utilities costs according to headcount. Personnel related expenses consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses also includes expenses related to a loss contingency accrual.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with GAAP financial information, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income (expense); change in fair value of common stock warrant liabilities; other income (expense), net; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time, including, but not limited to fair value adjustments for certain financial liabilities (including derivatives) associated with debt and equity transactions, impairment charges, acquisition related expenses for transaction costs and loss contingency accruals, as they are not indicative of business operations. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measure. In addition, our presentation of this measure should
36

not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business primarily related to research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative activities. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $103.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The most significant component of our cash used during this period was a net loss of $82.4 million, which included non-cash income of $81.9 million for the change in fair value related to Public and Private Common Stock Warrants, a $18.8 million deferred income tax benefit, non-cash expenses of $42.5 million related to stock-based compensation, $6.1 million related to depreciation and amortization, accretion of unamortized discounts and amortization of issuance costs, and net cash inflows of $31.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net cash inflows from changes of operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of an increase in other liabilities of $33.3 million, primarily related to an increase in accrued sales and marketing costs.
Net cash used in operating activities was $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The most significant component of our cash used during this period was a net loss of $78.5 million, which included non-cash expenses of $20.8 million for the change in fair value related to Series E preferred stock forward contract liability, $9.6 million related to stock-based compensation, $3.4 million related to impairment charges, $1.6 million related to depreciation, amortization, and net cash inflows of $13.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $140.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
See critical accounting policies and estimates in our Form 10-K/A filed May 13, 2021 as there have been no material changes except for the following:

Business Combinations
The results of businesses acquired in a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. We consummated our Public Offering (as defined below) on March 10, 2020 and are currently in the process of locating suitable targets for our business combination. We intend to use the cash proceeds fromacquisition method of accounting and allocate the purchase price, including the fair value of any non-cash consideration, to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the relevant acquired business at their acquisition date fair values. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. While we use our Public Offeringbest estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Private Placement described belowacquisition date as well as additional issuances, if any, ofcontingent consideration, where applicable, our capital stock, debt orestimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a combination of cash, stock and debtresult, during the measurement period, which may be up to completeone year from the Business Combination.

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any significant business operations nor generated any revenues to date. All activities toacquisition date, relatewe record adjustments to the Company’s formationassets acquired and liabilities assumed with the Public Offering.corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires us to perform valuations with significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. We expect to generate non-operating incomeengage the assistance of valuation specialists in the formconcluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of interest income on cash, cash equivalents,assets acquired and marketable securities that will be heldliabilities assumed in the Trust Account (as defined below). We expect to incur increased expensesa business combination.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accountingincurred, and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses as we locate a suitable Business Combination.

For the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2020, we had net income of $132,070. The income for the period from January 15, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2020 relates to earnings on the Trust Account assets offset byare included in general and administrative costs and estimated taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 10, 2020 we consummated a $690,000,000 initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) consistingexpense in the consolidated statements of 69,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (“Unit”). Each Unit consists of one shareoperations.


Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 parpurchase price over the fair value (the “Class A Common Stock”) and one-fourth of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the same or one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Simultaneously, withlevel below the closingoperating segment. We have one operating segment: Skillz Platform, Inc. We identify our reporting unit by assessing whether there are components of the Public Offering, we consummatedoperating segment which constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by segment managers. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist during the fiscal year. Events or circumstances which could trigger an approximately $15,050,000 private placement (“Private Placement”)impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, loss of key customers, an aggregateadverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of 10,033,333 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a pricekey personnel, significant changes in the manner of $1.50 per warrant. Upon closingour use of the Public Offering and Private Placement on March 10, 2020, $690,000,000 in proceeds (including $24,150,000acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results of deferred underwriting commissions) fromoperations.

When testing goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment. If we determine it is not more likely than not a reporting unit’s fair value is less than our carrying amount, then no further analysis is necessary. If we determine it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then we compare the Public Offering and Private Placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The remaining $15,280,885 held outside of trust was used to pay underwriting commissions of $13,800,000 and deferred offering and formation costs.

As of March 31, 2020, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $1,189,052 as well as cash and accrued interest held in trust of $690,207,664. Our working capital needs will be satisfied through the funds, held outside of the Trust Account, from the Public Offering. Interest on funds held in the Trust Account may be used to fund our working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $1,000,000) and/or to pay taxes. Further, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Redeemable Shares

All of the 69,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature as described in the prospectus for the Public Offering. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Charter provides a minimum net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carryingestimated fair value of the security atreporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the endestimated fair value of eachthe reporting period. Increases or decreases inunit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then such balance would be recorded as an impairment loss. Any impairment loss is limited to the carrying amount of redeemable shares willgoodwill allocated to the reporting unit.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant equipment and intangible assets with estimable useful lives subject to depreciation and amortization. Intangible assets consist of purchased intangible assets including developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames and are amortized over their useful lives ranging from one to eight years using the straight-line method of amortization. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be affectedrecoverable. Recoverability of an asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by charges against additional paid-in capital.

a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group.


Investment in Non-Marketable Equity Securities
We have elected to measure our existing investments in non-marketable equity securities at cost, less impairments, with remeasurements to fair value only upon the occurrence of observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar securities of the same issuer (“measurement alternative”). This election is reassessed each reporting period to determine whether non-marketable equity securities have a readily determinable fair value, in which case they would no longer be eligible for this election. We evaluate our non-marketable equity securities for impairment at each reporting period based on a qualitative assessment that considers various potential impairment indicators. Impairment indicators might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar securities for an amount less than the carrying amount of the investments in those securities. If an impairment exists, a loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of non-marketable equity securities, including impairment, are recorded through other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. We separately present investments in non-marketable equity securities within long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

DisclosureCONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures are controls(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”"Exchange Act"),) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controlsforms of the Securities and procedures include, without limitation, controlsExchange Commission, and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer)(our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer)(our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under

Our management, with the Exchange Act,participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation ofhas evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of MarchSeptember 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued an SEC Staff Statement (“the SEC Staff Statement”) in which the SEC Staff clarified its interpretations of certain generally accepted accounting principles related to warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”). Prior to the SEC Staff Statement, we believed that our warrant accounting was consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Our belief was supported by the fact that most other SPACs and parties who have merged with SPACs similarly interpreted the warrant accounting principles at issue. However, based on the clarifications expressed in the SEC Staff Statement which resulted in the restatement discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our2020, the Company’s management and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2020, there was a material weakness in controls related to the classification and accounting for warrants issued by a SPAC, which did not operate effectively to appropriately apply the provisions of ASC 815.
Remediation of Material Weakness
To remediate the material weakness, the Company studied and clarified its understanding of the accounting of contracts that our disclosuremay be settled in the Company’s own stock, such as warrants, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability as highlighted in the SEC Staff Statement, and implemented additional review procedures and enhanced its accounting policy related to the accounting for such contracts to determine proper accounting in accordance with GAAP as clarified by the SEC Staff Statement. Based on actions taken, as well as the evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of these new controls, and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) undermanagement believes that the Exchange Act) were effective.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, therematerial weakness has been remediated, subject to the ongoing evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of these controls in connection with its annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
