CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), including, without limitation, statements under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those factors described under Part II, Item 1A: "Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under Part II, Item 1A: "Risk Factors" may not be exhaustive.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

1. Description of Business

Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc., a public benefit corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Grove”) is a digital-first, sustainability-oriented consumer products innovator specializing in the development and sale of household, personal care, beauty and other consumer products with an environmental focus and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company does not have any operations outside the United States. The Company sells its products through two channels: a direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) platform at www.grove.co and the Company’s mobile applications, where the Company sells products from Grove-owned brands (“Grove Brands”) and third-parties, and the retail channel into which the Company sells products from Grove-owned brands at wholesale. The Company develops and sells natural products that are free from the harmful chemicals identified in the Company’s “anti-ingredient” list and designs form factors and product packaging that reduces plastic waste and improves the environmental impact of the categories in which the Company operates. The Company also purchases environmental offsets that have made it the first plastic neutral retailer in the world. Grove Collaborative, Inc. (herein referred to as “Legacy Grove”), the Company’s accounting predecessor, was incorporated in Delaware in 2016.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 24, 2023, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a five-for-one reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. Unless otherwise noted herein, the number of shares underlying stock options and other equity instruments was proportionately adjusted for the Reverse Split, including any exercise prices. The Class A common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis on the NYSE at the market open on June 6, 2023. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, options to purchase common stock, shares available or reserved for issuance, warrants and/or warrant shares, as applicable, and per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated herein.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary in which it holds controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “audited financial statements”) that were included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other future interim or annual period.

The Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and had an accumulated deficit of $635.9 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s existing sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2024 include unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $50.8 million and availability of debt from the Siena Revolver (defined in Note 5, Debt). The Company has historically funded operations primarily with issuances of redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, contingently redeemable convertible common stock and the

incurrence of debt. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Over the longer-term, the Company will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to fund future operations until it generates positive cash flows from profitable operations. There can be no assurance that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with emerging growth company status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. The Company uses this extended transition period to enable it to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date the Company (1) is no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates made by management include the determination of reserve amounts for the Company’s inventories on hand, useful life of intangible assets, sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards and the Company’s Preferred Stock, the estimated fair value of common stock liability classified Public and Private Placement Warrants, certain assumptions related to the Company’s contingent liabilities, the fair value of Earn-Out liabilities and the fair value of the Structural Derivative Liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such estimates could be material to the Company’s financial position and the results of operations.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net loss per share will, therefore, be the same for both the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.

The Company’s participating securities included the Company’s convertible preferred stock, as the holders are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the event that a dividend is declared on common stock. The Company also considers any shares issued on the early exercise of stock options subject to repurchase to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is declared on common stock. The holders of convertible preferred stock and the holders of the Company’s common stock warrants do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss, as adjusted for any accumulated dividends on outstanding Preferred Stock (Note 8, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock) for the period, attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase or outstanding shares that are contingently returnable by the holder. Contingently issuable shares, including shares that are issuable for little or

no cash consideration, are considered outstanding common shares and included in net loss per share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied. Such shares include the Backstop Warrants (Note 7, Common Stock and Warrants) and Volition Penny Warrants (Note 8, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock).

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss represents all changes in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s net loss was equal to its comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

Restricted Cash

Short-term restricted cash represents cash on deposit with financial institutions to collateralize Company credit cards and to collateralize letters of credit that are short-term in nature. Long-term restricted cash represents cash on deposit with a financial institutions to collateralize letters of credit related to the Company’s non-cancellable operating leases. Restricted cash is stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company maintains the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in accounts with one financial institution within the United States, generally in the form of demand accounts. Deposits in this institution exceed federally insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to this financial institution and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.

The Company depends on a variety of vendors to supply products sold by the Company. The following table presents the Company’s inventory purchases exceeding 10% of total inventory purchases by supplier for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Supplier A	28	%	27	%	24	%	27	%

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily generates revenue from the sale of both third-party and Grove Brands products through its DTC platform. Customers purchase products through the website or mobile application through a combination of directly selecting items from the catalog, items that are suggested by the Company’s recommendation engine, and features that appear in marketing on-site, in emails and on the Company’s mobile application. Most customers purchase a combination of products recommended by the Company based on previous purchases and new products discovered through marketing or catalog browsing. Customers can opt to have orders auto-shipped to them on a specified date or shipped immediately through an option available on the website and mobile application. Payment is collected upon finalizing the order. The products are subsequently packaged and shipped to fill the order. Customers can customize future purchases by selecting products they want to receive on a specified cadence or by selecting products for immediate shipment.

The Company also offers a VIP membership to its customers for an annual fee which includes the ability to receive free shipping, free gifts and early access to exclusive sales, all of which are available at the customers’ option, should they elect to make future purchases of the Company’s products within their annual VIP membership benefit period. Many customers receive a free 75-day VIP membership for trial purposes, typically upon their first qualifying order. After the expiration of this free trial VIP membership period, customers may proactively enroll in a VIP

membership via their account settings and pay an annual VIP membership fee. After a customer enrolls in VIP membership, the membership automatically renews until cancelled. The customer is alerted before any VIP membership renews.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods it transfers to a customer.

A contract with a customer exists when the customer submits an order online for the Company’s products. Under this arrangement, there is one performance obligation which is the obligation for the Company to fulfill the order. Product revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon the Company’s delivery to a third-party carrier.

The VIP membership provides customers with a suite of benefits that are only accessible to them at their option, upon making a future qualifying order of the Company’s products. The VIP membership includes free shipping, a select number of free products and early access to exclusive sales. Under ASC 606, sales arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options; therefore, the Company must assess whether these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are considered a performance obligation. The Company concluded that its VIP membership benefits include two material rights, one related to the future discount (i.e., free shipping) on the price of the customer’s qualifying order(s) over the membership period and the second one relating to a certain number of free products provided at pre-set intervals within the VIP membership benefit period, that will only ship with a customer’s next qualifying order (i.e., bundled).

At inception of the VIP membership benefit period, the Company allocates the VIP membership fee to each of the two material rights using a relative standalone selling price basis. Generally, standalone selling prices are determined based on the observable price of the good or service when sold separately to non-VIP customers and the estimated number of shipments and free products per benefit period. The Company also considers the likelihood of redemption when determining the standalone selling price for free products and then recognizes these allocated amounts upon the shipment of a qualifying customer order. To date, customers buying patterns closely approximate a ratable revenue attribution method over the customers VIP membership period. Due to these factors, the Company typically recognizes VIP membership revenue ratably over the VIP membership period.

The Company deducts discounts, sales tax, customer service credits and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax collected from customers is not considered revenue and is included in accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities. The Company has made the policy election to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Shipping, handling and packaging expenses are recognized upon shipment and classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Discounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue when revenue is recognized. The Company records a refund reserve based on historical refund patterns. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the refund reserve, which is included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was not material.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table sets forth revenue by product type (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Revenue, net:
Grove Brands	$	18,606	$	27,648	$	63,090	$	92,397
Third-party products	29,674		34,102		90,834		107,024
Total revenue, net	$	48,280	$	61,750	$	153,924	$	199,421

Contractual Liabilities

The Company has three types of contractual liabilities from transactions with customers: (i) cash collections for products which have not yet shipped, which are included in deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue upon the Company’s delivery to a third-party carrier, (ii) cash collections of VIP membership fees, which are included in deferred revenue and (iii) customer service credits, which are included in other current liabilities and are recognized as a reduction in revenue when provided to the customer. Contractual liabilities included in deferred revenue were $6.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Contractual liabilities included in other current liabilities were immaterial as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The contractual liabilities included in deferred revenue are generally recognized as revenue within twelve months from the end of each reporting period. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that was previously included in deferred revenue and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2023 was $6.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Fulfillment Costs

Fulfillment costs represent those costs incurred in operating and staffing the Company’s fulfillment centers, including costs attributable to receiving, inspecting and warehousing inventories, picking, packaging, and preparing customer orders for shipment (“Fulfillment Labor”), shipping and handling expenses, packaging materials costs and payment processing and related transaction costs. These costs are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded fulfillment costs of $10.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, which included $6.5 million and $8.3 million in shipping and handling expenses, respectively, and $2.6 million and $3.0 million in Fulfillment Labor, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded fulfillment costs of $34.0 million and $45.5 million, respectively, which included $20.4 million and $27.6 million in shipping and handling expenses, respectively, and $7.9 million and $10.4 million in Fulfillment Labor, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2023, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC's regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are required for all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 takes effect for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt ASU 2023-07 and is currently evaluating its impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require incremental income tax disclosures on an annual basis for all public entities. The amendments require that public business entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require disclosure of income taxes paid to be disaggregated by jurisdiction, and the disclosure of income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting beginning with the fiscal years starting after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt ASU 2023-09 and is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This update requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories, such as salaries and wages, depreciation, and amortization, to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

3. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy. These levels are:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt, Earn-Out Shares, Public and Private Placement Warrants and Structural Derivative. Cash equivalents, Earn-Out Shares, Public and Private Placement Warrants and Structural Derivative are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short period of time to the expected receipt or payment. The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates the fair value as the debt bears interest at a rate that approximates the prevailing market rate.

On June 12, 2023, the NYSE delisted the Public Warrants from trading due to their low price levels. See Note 7, Common Stock and Warrants for additional details. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, with certain exceptions as defined in Note 7, Common Stock and Warrants. As the number of outstanding Public Warrants and Private warrants did not change as a result of the reverse split, five Public Warrants or five Private Placement Warrants must be bundled together to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants are classified as Level 3 and their value was determined by using a Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions on a pre-reverse split basis:

Dividend yield	—	—

The Earn-Out Shares are classified as Level 3 and their fair values were estimated using a Monte Carlo options pricing model utilizing assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption using an average of the implied volatility of its common stock and an implied volatility based on its peer companies.

The Structural Derivative Liability is a compound embedded derivative related to features within the Structural Debt Facility, including an increase in interest rate upon an event of default and the contingent issuance of the Structural Subsequent Shares as defined in Note 5, Debt and mandatory and voluntary prepayment features. This liability is classified as Level 3 and is valued using a risk-neutral income approach related to an event of default occurring and expected cash flows in such a scenario and an income and Black-Scholes pricing model for the contingent issuance of the Structural Subsequent Shares utilizing assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption using an average of the implied volatility of its common stock and an implied volatility based on its peer companies.

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Structural Debt Facility

In December 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Structural Debt Facility”) with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Structural Capital Investments IV, LP and Series PCI Grove series of Structural Capital Primary Co-Investment Fund, LLC (collectively, “Structural Funds”) and Avenue Sustainable Solutions Fund, L.P. (“Avenue”) (collectively, “Structural Lenders”) to borrow $72.0 million which was used primarily to settle previously outstanding obligations with a prior lender. The Structural Debt Facility bears an annual rate of interest at the greater of 15.00% or 7.50% plus the prime rate, payable monthly. Prior to the maturity date, the Company may prepay all outstanding amounts under this facility at any time. Under the agreement, when amounts are prepaid or repaid in full at the maturity date, the Company may be obligated to pay additional fees which would allow for Structural Funds and Avenue to reach a Minimum Return, as defined by the agreement.

On July 16, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Lenders (“Structural Amendment”). The terms of the Structural Amendment required the Company to make a payment on the outstanding principal balance of the Structural Debt Facility of $42.0 million. The terms of the Structural Amendment also provided for a reduction of the amount of unrestricted cash required to be maintained by the Company. Furthermore, the terms of the Structural Amendment provided for a delay in the start of the principal repayment period which was July 1, 2025 under the original terms and is now January 1, 2026. The original maturity date of December 21, 2026 did not change. As the terms of the Structural Debt Facility after the Structural Amendment were not deemed to be substantially different from the original agreement, the Company accounted for the Structural Amendment with debt modification accounting. Issuance costs related to the Structural Amendment were nominal.

The Structural Debt Facility is collateralized by the assets of the Company and includes financial covenants the Company must meet in order to avoid an Event of Default, as defined by the original agreement and Structural Amendment. Such covenants include (i) maintaining a minimum of $23.75 million in unrestricted cash at all times and (ii) achieving certain revenue targets for the trailing four quarter period. In accordance with the loan agreement, Structural Lenders have been provided with the Company’s periodic financial statements and updated projections to

(Unaudited)

facilitate their ongoing assessment of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

On December 21, 2022, in connection with the initial closing of the Structural Debt Facility, the Company issued to Structural Funds, including certain affiliates, and to Avenue a total of 990,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Structural Closing Shares”). The Company recorded a debt discount of $1.1 million related to the issuance of these shares, with a corresponding offset to the Company’s Class A common stock and additional paid-in capital. Further, if there are outstanding obligations relating to the Structural Debt Facility on July 21, 2025, representing the thirty-month anniversary of such closing, the Company agrees to issue to Structural Funds, including certain affiliates, and to Avenue, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to $9,900,000, divided by the lower of (i) $10.00 and (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the sixty trading days prior to such date, as further described in the related issuance agreements (the “Structural Subsequent Shares”).

The Company has identified several features within the Structural Debt Facility consisting of the contingent obligation to issue the Structural Subsequent Shares, mandatory and voluntary prepayment features and default interest rate (“Structural Derivative Liability”), which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a compound embedded derivative at fair value.

Closing costs consisted of $3.3 million in costs directly related to the issuance of the Structural Facility to third parties, issuance of certain Structural Closing Shares amounting to $1.1 million and incurrence of an additional Structural Derivative Liability amount of $7.1 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $30.0 million in principal outstanding under the Structural Debt Facility with an effective interest rate of 26.43%. In connection with the issuance of Series A’ Preferred Stock (Note 8, Convertible Preferred Stock), the Company is required to prepay $10.0 million of the principal amount on the Structural Debt Facility on or before November 30, 2024; therefore such amounts are classified as debt, current, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Siena Revolver

In March 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Revolver”) with Siena Lending Group, LLC (“Siena”) which permits the Company to receive funding through a revolving line of credit with an initial commitment of $35.0 million. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Siena Revolver is subject to certain conditions, including the Company’s eligible inventory and accounts receivable balances among other limitations as specified in the agreement. In connection with this facility the Company incurred $1.1 million of debt issuance costs which have been included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and being amortized through the Siena Revolver’s scheduled maturity date. On July 16, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment 1 to Loan and Security Agreement with Siena (“Siena Amendment”). The Siena Amendment modifies certain terms related to how the Company’s available borrowing capacity is determined. The Siena Amendment did not modify any other terms related to the Siena Revolver, including maturity date or maximum borrowing capacity. The Company accounted for the Siena Amendment under debt modification accounting due to the terms being deemed not substantially different. The Company paid $0.3 million of issuance costs related to the Siena Amendment which are included within other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and being amortized through the Siena Revolver’s scheduled maturity date.

The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Siena Revolver are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, (i) a Base Rate, plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) then in effect, plus 0.10% and an applicable margin. The Base Rate is defined as the greatest of: (1) Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, (2) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (3) 5.00% per annum. The applicable margin for Siena Revolver borrowings is based on the Company’s monthly average principal balance outstanding and ranges from 2.75% to 4.50% per annum in the case of Base Rate Borrowings, as defined by the Siena Revolver, and 3.75% to 5.50% per annum in the case of Term SOFR Borrowings, as defined by the Siena Revolver. The Siena Revolver also contains various financial covenants the Company must maintain to avoid an Event of Default, as defined by the agreement. In accordance with the agreement, Siena has been provided with the Company’s periodic financial statements and updated projections to facilitate their ongoing assessment of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.

The Siena Revolver matures on March 10, 2026. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an outstanding principal balance of $7.5 million under the Siena Revolver. The interest rate on the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024 was 9.18%. Additional borrowing capacity from the Siena Revolver was $6.8 million as of September 30, 2024.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Merchandise Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had obligations to purchase $10.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively, of merchandise.

Letters of Credit

The Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit in the amount of $2.2 million and $3.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily related to the Company’s operating leases. The letters of credit have expiration dates through August 2029.

Leases

In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for its headquarters located in San Francisco, California (the “Lease Amendment”), to provide for, among other things, a reduction of the amount of space being leased and of the monthly lease payments owed to the lessor. The Company concluded this was a modification of the existing lease agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Lease Amendment, the Company paid $4.8 million which was determined to be consideration for the remaining space being leased and was considered in remeasuring the Company's ROU asset and lease liability upon execution of the amendment. The Lease Amendment requires the Company to make escalating undiscounted annual base rent payments of up to $0.4 million, payable monthly. The lease term under the Lease Amendment expires in May 2027. The Company previously recognized an impairment loss due to the abandonment of portions of the underlying asset. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $3.1 million within selling, general and administrative expense within its consolidated statements of operations upon remeasuring its lease liability and right of use asset.

On July 2, 2024, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for a warehouse located in Reno, NV (the “Reno Lease”). Under the Reno Lease, the Company is required to make escalating undiscounted annual base rent payments of up to $2.0 million, payable monthly. The Reno Lease commenced on August 6, 2024 and expires on November 30, 2031. The Company has determined the Reno Lease qualifies as an operating lease.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that the loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, it discloses the possible loss or range of loss. Any potential gains associated with legal matters are not recorded until the period in which all contingencies are resolved and the gain is realized or realizable. Depending on the nature and timing of any such proceedings that may arise, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. Except if otherwise indicated, it is not reasonably possible to determine the probability of loss or estimate damages for any of the matters discussed below, and therefore, the Company has not established reserves for any of these matters.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with other representatives from other California district and city attorneys’ offices, is currently investigating the Company’s compliance with California’s Automatic Renewal Law (“ARL”), California’s Unfair Competition Law, and False Advertising Law (the “CA ARL Matter”). The Company has met with this task force of multiple California district attorneys (called the California Autorenewal Task Force, or “CART”) and has provided documents and information upon request and discussed proposed

remediation. Based on discussions with CART, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss with regard to this matter. However, based on the current information, the Company does not have enough information to make a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss at this time.

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) previously investigated the Company's billing and automatic renewal practices under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act, the CAN-SPAM Rule, the Undeclared Merchandise Statute and other matters related to our historical subscription offerings. The Company responded to a Civil Investigative Demand issued by the FTC and certified its compliance with the Civil Investigative Demand in June 2023. The FTC notified the Company in June 2024 that the FTC had closed its investigation without any further action.

7. Common Stock and Warrants

On June 16, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 7, 2021, amended and restated on March 31, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempt company in 2020 (“VGAC II”), Treehouse Merger Sub, Inc., Treehouse Merger Sub II, LLC (“VGAC II Merger Sub II”), and Legacy Grove (“the Merger”). In connection with the Merger, VGAC II changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and changed its name to Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc (the “Domestication”), a public benefit corporation. On the Closing Date, VGAC Merger Sub II merged with and into Legacy Grove with Legacy Grove being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Initial Merger”), and, immediately following the Initial Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the Initial Merger, Legacy Grove merged with and into VGAC Merger Sub II, the separate corporate existence of Legacy Grove ceased, and VGAC Merger Sub II continued as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and changed its name to Grove Collaborative, Inc. (together with the Merger and the Domestication, the “Business Combination”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Grove being the accounting acquirer and VGAC II as the acquired company for accounting purposes.

Earn-Out Shares

On the Closing Date, Class B common stock shareholders (including Grove stock option, restricted stock unit, and warrant holders) were issued an aggregate 2,799,696 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (“Earn-Out Shares”). Certain shareholders have since surrendered an aggregate 197,284 Earn-Out Shares, which per terms of the Merger Agreement, were cancelled by the Company and not reallocated to the remaining holders. The remaining 2,602,412 Earn-Out Shares can vest within a period of ten years following the Business Combination (the “Earn-Out Period”) (i) with respect to 1,301,206 of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $62.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period and (ii) with respect to 1,301,206 of the Earn-Out Shares, upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $75.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period.

If, during the Earn-Out Period, there is a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then all remaining triggering events that have not previously occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.

If, upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, any Earn-Out Shares shall have not vested, then such Earn-Out Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the holders thereof and canceled by the Company. The settlement amount to be paid to the selling shareholders of the Earn-Out Shares can change and is not indexed to the Company’s stock. Due to the change in control event contingency and variable number of Earn-Out shares to be settled to the holders, the Earn-Out Shares fail the equity scope exception and are accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and will be remeasured on a recurring basis at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not meet any Earn-Out thresholds.

Class A Common Stock Warrants

On the Closing Date, the Company was deemed to have assumed 6,700,000 Private Placement Warrants for the Company’s Class A common stock that were held by Virgin Group Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and 8,050,000 of the Company’s Class A common stock Public Warrants that were held by VGAC II’s shareholders. The warrants will expire on July 16, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Five whole warrants must be bundled together in order to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an effective exercise price of $57.50.

The Private Placement and Public Warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock meet liability classification requirements since the warrants may be required to be settled in cash under a tender offer. In addition, Private Placement warrants are potentially subject to a different settlement amount as a result of being held by the Sponsor which precludes the Private Placement warrants from being considered indexed to the entity's own stock, and therefore classified as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2024, the following warrants were outstanding on an as-converted basis:


Warrant Type	Shares	Exercise Price
Public Warrants	1,460,146	$	57.50
Private Placement Warrants	1,340,000	$	57.50

Public Warrants

The Public Warrants became exercisable into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock commencing on July 16, 2022 and expiring on July 16, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. At the Closing Date, the Company assumed 8,050,000 public warrants. On June 16, 2023, the Company agreed to cancel 749,291 Public Warrants from certain holders. Five whole warrants must be bundled together in order to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an effective exercise price of $57.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

The Company may redeem, with 30 days written notice, each whole outstanding Public Warrant for cash at a price of $0.01 per warrant if the Reference Value equals or exceeds $90.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The warrant holders have the right to exercise their outstanding warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date during the redemption period at an effective price of $57.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement. For purposes of the redemption, “Reference Value” shall mean the last reported sales price of the Company’s Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within the 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, then such warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the warrant holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. At the Closing Date, the Company assumed 6,700,000 Private Placement Warrants.

Backstop Warrants

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued to Corvina Holdings Limited (the “Backstop Investor”) equity-classified warrants to purchase 775,005 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with an exercise price of $0.05 per share (such warrants, the “Backstop Warrants”). The Backstop Warrants are exercisable by the Backstop Investor at any time on or before June 16, 2027, and are on terms customary for warrants of such nature. None of these warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2024.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On July 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD (“Yorkville” or “SEPA Investor”), pursuant to which Yorkville has agreed to purchase up to $100 million of common stock from time to time over a period of 36 months, subject to certain conditions. The shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the SEPA may be sold by us to Yorkville at our discretion from time to time and sales of the Company’s common stock under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other factors. Additionally, in no event may the Company sell more than 6,511,532 shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable NYSE rules or comply with certain other requirements as described in the Equity Purchase Agreement. As a result, unless the Company’s stock price exceeds $15.33, the Company will be unable to sell the full $100.0 million commitment to Yorkville without seeking stockholder approval to issue additional shares in excess of the Exchange Cap. The purchase price per share for Class A common stock will be 97.55% of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Class A common stock over the Pricing Period, as defined by the agreement. The Company deferred $0.7 million of transaction costs related to the SEPA and will offset these costs against proceeds of any sales under the SEPA. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has sold 147,965 shares under the SEPA for total gross proceeds of $2.4 million. Issuance costs related to these shares are not material. As of September 30, 2024, there were 6,363,567 shares available to be sold to Yorkville under the Exchange Cap.

HGI Subscription Agreement

On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “HGI Subscription Agreement”) with HCI Grove LLC (“HGI”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued to HGI 396,825 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Subscribed Shares”) for aggregate proceeds of $2.5 million. Under the terms of the HGI Subscription Agreement, the Company was required to file a registration statement for the Subscribed Shares upon the Company becoming eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and in any event prior to July 15, 2023 (the “Subscribed Shares Registration Statement”). The Subscribed Shares Registration Statement was filed on July 14, 2023.

Concurrent with the HGI Subscription Agreement, the Company also entered into a consulting services agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with HCI Grove Management LLC (the “Consultant”). In consideration for the services under the Consulting Agreement, the Company (i) paid the Consultant an upfront fee of $150,000 and (ii) issued the Consultant warrants to purchase 905,000 shares (the “HGI Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “HGI Warrants”), at an exercise price per share of $6.30 (the “Exercise Price”). On November 10, 2022, 40% of the HGI Warrant Shares vested and became issuable (the “Vested Warrants”), and the remaining HGI Warrant Shares (the “Unvested Warrants”) shall vest and become exercisable if, prior to December 31, 2024, the Company achieves at least $100.0 million in quarterly net revenue on a consolidated basis or if the Company consummates a Change of Control, as defined in HGI Warrants. If, as a result of the Change of Control, the

Company’s equity holders own less than 25% of the equity securities of the surviving entity in such Change of Control, the Exercise Price shall be increased by 50%.

The Company determined the Vested Warrants and Unvested Warrants qualify as stock based compensation to a nonemployee. The Company recorded $1.2 million in stock based compensation expense on the execution date of the HGI Subscription Agreement. The Company performs a probability reassessment related to the Unvested Warrants each reporting period and will recognize the cumulative catch-up adjustment based on the grant-date fair value when the vesting conditions are probable of being achieved. Any remaining expense will continue to be recognized ratably until the date the revenue target is achieved, and the Unvested Warrants are fully vested.

The fair value of Vested Warrants and Unvested Warrants granted to HGI was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions:


Fair value of common stock			$6.30
Expected term in years			4.5
Volatility			62.50%
Risk-free interest rate			4.00%
Dividend yield			—

Reserved for Issuance

The Company has the following shares of common stock reserved for future issuance, on an as-if converted basis:

8. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On August 11, 2023 (the “Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date”), the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement”) with Volition Capital Fund IV, L.P. (“Volition”) where the Company received gross proceeds of $10.0 million in exchange for 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the issuance of a warrant to purchase

1,579,778 shares of Grove’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $6.33 per share (the “Volition Warrant”) and the issuance of a separate warrant to Volition to purchase 20,905 shares of Grove’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Volition Penny Warrant”). The Volition Warrant and the Volition Penny Warrant each had expiration dates dated on the three-year anniversary of the Redeemable Preferred Stock Closing Date and became exercisable six months following the Redeemable Preferred Stock Closing Date. The Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable, at the option of the holder, for the original issuance price plus any declared but unpaid dividends following the seventh anniversary of the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date (“Optional Redemption”).

The Company allocated the proceeds received on the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date to the Series A Preferred Stock, Volition Warrant and Volition Penny Warrant (together the “Volition Warrants”) on a relative fair value basis. The aggregate fair value of the Volition Warrants was $0.7 million and determined using a Black-Scholes Model with the following inputs:


Fair value of common stock	$	2.16
Exercise Price	$0.01 — $6.33
Expected term in years	3.0
Risk free rate	4.56		%
Volatility	67.24		%
Dividend yield	—		%

On the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date, The Company allocated $0.3 million of transaction costs to the Series A preferred stock and nominal transaction costs to the Volition Warrants.

On September 20, 2024, (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock Closing Date”), the Company entered into another subscription agreement (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement”) with Volition where the Company received gross proceeds of $15.0 million in exchange for 15,000 shares of the Company’s Series A' Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). In connection with the issuance of the Series A’ Preferred Stock, Volition and the Company agreed to cancel the Volition Warrants, cancel the Volition Penny Warrants and modified the redemption terms of the Series A Preferred Stock such that the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer subject to Optional Redemption,.

The Company concluded that the issuance of the Series A’ Preferred Stock, modification of terms to the Series A Preferred Stock, cancellation of the Volition Warrant and cancellation of the Volition Penny Warrant should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for new instruments. As such, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock and Volition Warrants and recorded both series of the Preferred Stock at their fair values. On the Series A’ Preferred Stock Closing Date, the Company recorded $0.5 million of transaction costs against the proceeds received for the Series A’ Preferred Stock.

Significant terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A’ Preferred Stock are identical except as noted below and are summarized as follows:

Dividends – The holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any funds and assets legally available therefore, dividends at the rate of 6% per annum of the original issuance price for each share of Preferred Stock, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any other dividend (other than dividends on shares of Class A common stock payable in shares of Class A common stock). The dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative, provided, however, such accruing dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and the Company shall be under no obligation to pay such accruing dividends. Total cumulative undeclared dividends as of September 30, 2024 was $0.7 million.

Liquidation – Upon any liquidation transaction, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to stockholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Class A common stock, Class B common stock or of any other stock or equity security, an amount in cash, equal to the greater of (i) the Preferred Stock original issuance price held by such holder plus any declared but unpaid dividends to which such holder of outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock is then entitled, if any, or (ii) the amount each holder

(Unaudited)

of a share of the Preferred would be entitled on an as-converted into Class A common stock basis, based on the then effective Conversion Price, as defined by the Amended Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (without regard to any restrictions or limitations on conversion) immediately prior to such liquidation transaction. If, upon any Liquidation Transaction, the funds legally available for distribution to all holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to all such holders of the full liquidation preference amount, then the entire funds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled to.

Voting – Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock into which such shares of the Preferred Stock are then convertible based on the conversion price as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Class A common stock (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, voting together with the Class A common stock as a single class) and shall be entitled to notice of any such stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. For so long as an original purchaser of the Preferred Stock beneficially holds 20% or more of the shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated on as converted basis based on the Conversion Price (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like)) such purchaser acquired pursuant to the Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement, such purchaser shall have the right to designate up to one director for election to the Board of Directors as a Class I Director.

Conversion – At the option of the holder, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A common stock equal to the sum of (i) the amount determined by dividing (x) the Preferred Stock original issuance price plus any declared but unpaid dividends to which such share of the Preferred Stock is then entitled by (y) $2.11, for shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or $1.9328 for Series A’ Preferred Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion or notice is provided for non-certificated shares and (ii) the Subsequent Issuance Share Adjustment, as defined by the Amended Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, upon five business days prior written notice, force the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock (including any declared but unpaid dividends to which such shares of Preferred Stock are then entitled) at the conversion price upon certain events, as specified in the Amended Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company classifies the Preferred Stock as temporary, or mezzanine, equity because the shares contain deemed liquidation rights that are a contingent redemption feature not solely within the control of the Company. The Volition Warrants and Volition Penny Warrants were classified within additional paid-in capital on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

The total grant date fair value of options that vested during nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was nominal. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the current fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price for in-the-money stock options.

Market-Based Stock Options

In February 2021, the Company granted 203,434 stock options with market and liquidity event-related performance-based vesting criteria with an exercise price of $18.85 per share. 100% of the stock options vest upon valuation of the Company’s stock at a stated price upon occurrence of specified transactions. Fair value was determined using the probability weighted expected term method (“PWERM”), which involves the estimation of future potential outcomes as well as values and probabilities associated with each potential outcome. Two potential scenarios were used in the PWERM that utilized 1) the value of the Company’s common equity, and 2) a Monte Carlo simulation to specifically value the award. The total grant date fair value of the award was determined to be $5.5 million. As of September 30, 2024, the market-based vesting criteria had not been met. All expense related to this award has been recognized in prior periods.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The following table summarizes the activity for all RSUs under all of the Company’s equity incentive plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

In August 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors granted its Chief Executive Officer an aggregate of 850,000 Class A common stock RSUs (the “CEO Award”) separate from the Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan. A portion of the CEO Award contains market based vesting requirements consisting of four tranches that vest separately upon the Company’s public stock price meeting certain price thresholds. Additionally, the CEO Award also contains a service requirement with 25% of the shares vesting each year from the grant date for four years.

The CEO Award has a total aggregate value of $2.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the CEO Award, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders. The ESPP went into effect on November 16, 2022. Subject to certain limitations contained therein, the ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 20% of their eligible compensation to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock at a discounted price per share.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recognized a total of $2.8 million and $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $9.3 million and $11.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to stock options and RSUs granted to employees and non-employees. Stock-based compensation expense was predominately recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations for each period presented. As of September 30, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options and RSUs was $9.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted average period of 1.7 years.

11. Subsequent Events

In October 2024, the Company began to wind down its sales of its Grove Co branded products through brick and mortar retail channels. The impact on the Company’s financial results from its brick and mortar retail channel has historically been insignificant, and the Company expects to have completed the cessation of sales through the brick and mortar distribution channel in 2025.

In October 2024, 1,538,839 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock. If at the end of a fiscal quarter, the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, including securities exercisable or convertible into Class B Common Stock, represent less than ten percent of all shares of Common Stock (inclusive of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock) outstanding, including securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock will be converted into Class A Common Stock, or equivalent exercisable or convertible securities, forty-five days after the end of the fiscal quarter. After conversion, converted shares and securities will have identical rights, including voting rights, to those of Class A Common Stock or equivalent converted security. After accounting for conversions of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock through October 2024, outstanding Class B Common Stock and securities exercisable for or convertible into Class B Common Stock were less than ten percent of all shares of outstanding common stock and securities exercisable or convertible into common stock. As such, the remaining shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding are expected to be converted into Class A Common Stock automatically on February 15, 2025.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (“Grove,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) should be read with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Grove’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 or in other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Grove’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Except as otherwise noted, all references to 2023 refer to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Overview

Grove is a sustainability-oriented consumer products company. We use our connection with consumers to create and curate authentic, disruptive brands and products. We build natural products that perform as well as or better than many leading consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) brands (both conventional and natural), while being healthier for consumers and the planet.

We operate an online direct-to-consumer website and mobile application (“DTC platform”) where we both sell our Grove-owned brands (“Grove Brands”) and other leading natural and mission-based CPG brands, providing consumers with a selection of curated products across many categories and brands. We refer to this part of our business as “DTC.” We recently made the decision to exit the business of selling Grove Co. products in brick and mortar retail channels. We expect our exit from brick and mortar retail to improve our profitability while having an insignificant impact on our revenue, and to be completed in 2025.

Grove is a public benefit corporation and a Certified B Corporation, meaning we adhere to third party standards for prioritizing social, environmental, and community well-being. We believe that improved innovation grows both revenue and, over the long term, can expand margins as our innovation has historically tended to be both market expanding and margin accretive. Since inception, we have invested heavily in building out both our e-commerce platform and Grove Brands, and over this period we have operated at a loss. We have an accumulated deficit of $635.9 million as of September 30, 2024. Beginning in the second half of 2022, we substantially reduced our operating expenses across the business in support of our drive toward profitability. These expense reductions, particularly in advertising, have resulted in a substantial decline in our revenue.

On June 16, 2022, we consummated the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 7, 2021, amended and restated on March 31, 2022 (the “Business Combination”). Refer to Note 7, Common Stock and Warrants, included in the financial statements found in Item 1 of this form 10-Q for further details.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 24, 2023, our board of directors and stockholders approved a one-for-five reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The Class A common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE at the market open on June 6, 2023. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.

Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Performance

We believe that our future business is dependent on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address to enable us to grow our business and improve our operations while staying true to our mission, including those discussed below and in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

Ability To Grow our Brand Awareness

Our brand is integral to the growth of our business and is essential to our ability to engage with our community. Our performance will depend on our ability to profitably attract new customers and encourage consumer spending across our product portfolio. We believe the core elements of continuing to grow our brand awareness in a manner that increases our market penetration are highlighting our products’ qualities of being natural, sustainable and effective and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

Ability to Continue to Innovate in Products and Packaging

Our continued product innovation is integral to our future growth. We have developed and launched over 500 individual products in recent years. The research, development, testing and improvement of our products has been led by our research and development team, which includes experienced chemists and formulators, who work closely with our sustainability team. These new and innovative products, as well as our focus on environmentally responsible packaging, have been key drivers of our value proposition to date. An important element of our product development strategy is our ability to engage directly with customers through our DTC platform to assess demand and market preferences. As a result of our cost reductions in recent periods, we have substantially reduced our investment in product innovation. Our future success in research and development and ability to assess customer needs and develop sustainable and effective products will be central to attracting and retaining consumers in the future and to growing our market penetration and our impact on human and environmental health.

Cost-Efficient Acquisition of New Customers and Retention of Existing Customers on our DTC Platform

Our ability to attract new customers is a key factor for our future growth. To date we have successfully acquired new customers through online and offline marketing channels. In recent years, changes in the algorithms used for targeting and purchasing online advertising, changes to privacy and online tracking, supply and demand dynamics in the market, reductions in our advertising spend, and other factors have caused the cost of marketing in these channels to increase consistently. Failure to effectively adapt to changes in online marketing dynamics or changes to our internet platform, or to otherwise attract customers on a cost-efficient basis would adversely impact our path to revenue growth, profitability and our operating results. Our ability to balance cost-efficient acquisitions while driving consumer awareness may impact the cost of acquiring new customers, profitability and operating results.

The future activity level and profitability of our DTC customer base will depend on our ability to continue to offer a compelling value proposition to consumers including strong selection, pricing, customer service, smooth and compelling web and mobile application experience, fast and reliable fulfillment, and curation within natural and sustainable products. Our success is also dependent on our ability to maintain relevance with our consumers on a regular basis through high performing products and a consumer-friendly refill and fulfillment process, and most importantly to provide consumers with products that consistently outperform their expectations. Our ability to execute on these key value-driving areas for consumers, and to remain competitive and compelling, are necessary for our future growth. A lack of success in these areas would materially impact our operating results and financial performance.
