Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 14, 2023, Udemy, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On February 13, 2023, the Company committed to a reduction in force that is expected to result in the termination of approximately 10% of the Company’s global workforce. The Company took this step to decrease its costs during the current macroeconomic environment and create a more streamlined organization to support its business. As a result, the Company expects to recognize restructuring charges between $9 million and $11 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily consisting of personnel expenses such as salaries and wages, one-time severance payments, and other benefits. Cash payments related to these expenses will be paid out primarily during the first and second quarters of 2023. Also included in the indicated range is an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation expense that will be recognized in the first quarter of 2023 as a result of modifications to allow vesting of certain stock-based awards held by impacted personnel. The reduction in force is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2023.
The estimates of costs and expenses that the Company expects to incur in connection with the reduction in force are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the reduction in force.
A message to the Company’s employees from Gregg Coccari, the Company’s chief executive officer, regarding the reduction in force is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying exhibits, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those related to the expected costs and benefits associated with the reduction in force as well as the Company’s timeline for completing the reduction in force and recognition of associated costs. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company’s most recent Quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Therefore, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecast in any such forward-looking statements. For example, the expected costs associated with the reduction in force may be greater than anticipated, completion of the reduction in force may take longer than anticipated, the Company may be unable to realize the contemplated benefits in connection with the reduction in force, and the reduction in force may have an adverse impact on the Company’s performance. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Business Update
On February 13, 2023, Udemy announced to its employees that in response to macroeconomic conditions and to further streamline its operations and cost structure, it made the difficult decision to reduce its global workforce by approximately 10%. Employee notifications are complete and this action will result in a one-time charge in Q1 2023 of $8 to $9 million in non-GAAP severance costs, primarily consisting of personnel expenses, such as salaries and wages, one-time severance payments, and other benefits. Udemy expects these actions to result in annualized non-GAAP savings of approximately $30 to $32 million. Udemy believes these actions will accelerate its path to profitability and now expects to be profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis for the second half of 2023.
Financial Outlook
Udemy provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. Actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the comments below regarding forward-looking statements.
The following table reflects Udemy’s financial outlook for its first quarter and full year ending December 31, 2023.
| Three Months Ending March 31, 2023 | Year Ending December 31, 2023 | ||||||||||
| Revenue | $168 - $172 million | $700 - $730 million | |||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin* | (10)% - (8)% | (4)% - (2)% | |||||||||
| Weighted Average Share Count | 146 million | 149 million | |||||||||
| *Udemy has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) within this earnings release because the company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. Adjusted EBITDA Margin outlook excludes the impact of restructuring charges. | |||||||||||
The revenue guidance range above assumes foreign currency exchange rates will remain constant. As a result of changes in FX rates during 2022, FX is expected to impact total revenue year-over-year growth by approximately 6 percentage points in the first quarter and 3 percentage points for the full year 2023.
Webcast Information
Udemy will host a conference call and webcast at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET today, Tuesday, February 14, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and 2023 outlook. A link to the live webcast and recorded replay of the conference call will be available on the “Quarterly Results” section of Udemy’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.udemy.com/. The live call may also be accessed via telephone at (877) 270-2148 toll-free domestically and at (412) 902-6510 internationally. The archived replay of the webcast will be available for approximately one year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Udemy’s key non-GAAP performance measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and non-GAAP net loss.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding i) interest (income) expense, net; ii) provision for income taxes; iii) depreciation and amortization; iv) other expense, net, including gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency and v) stock-based compensation expense. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the same period. We have not reconciled our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net loss and net loss margin, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, because certain items are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted and a reconciliation for the guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not available without unreasonable effort. As Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges. We define non-GAAP loss as net loss attributable to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. We calculate non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue for the same period. We believe the presentation of operating results that excludes these non-cash items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
Udemy’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein in conjunction with Udemy’s financial statements and the related notes thereto. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Message to Udemy, Inc. employees from Gregg Coccari on February 13, 2023
My fellow Udemates,
Udemy has served as an invaluable resource to millions of people and thousands of organizations across the world as they’ve navigated through a pandemic and a rapidly changing macroeconomic environment. Together, we have all made a valuable impact on so many lives. This makes today’s announcement an incredibly difficult one to share. In order to position ourselves for long-term sustainable growth, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce our global workforce by 10%.
In previous All Hands meetings, the executive team has endeavored to be as transparent as possible with you about the cautious approach we have taken to navigate through these challenging macroeconomic conditions. We made strategic decisions last year to adjust our cost structure to ensure Udemy came out on the other side a stronger, more efficient company. Over the past few quarters, we slowed hiring and reduced spending across the company, and focused on driving efficiencies and preserving resources.
These steps were taken thoughtfully and aimed at avoiding the necessity of making any adjustments to our Udemate team. Unfortunately, the macroeconomic environment continued to deteriorate in the back half of last year and we are not immune to this challenging environment.
We want everyone to know that taking care of our impacted Udemates is a top priority. It is of the utmost importance that we provide everything we can for their needs, as well as resources to help them find their next role. We want to openly share what each impacted Udemate will be offered.
While some of this varies by employee and location, this includes (but is not limited to):
•Minimum 13 weeks pay (or more for tenure)
•Six months of benefits coverage
•Extended Udemy Business subscription
•Their Udemy laptop
•Annual bonus payout
•Immigration assistance
•Partial accelerated vesting of equity awards
•Access to Crosschq, a tech recruiting tool
I want to be very clear with all of you; this decision is not a reflection of the work or contributions of those impacted — nor is it a reflection of the long-term health of our business. It’s also a decision I don’t take lightly as the CEO of this company. I can’t express enough how sorry I am to have to say goodbye to so many important members of our team.
We’re committed to always learning inside and outside of Udemy, and one of my greatest learning opportunities was being able to learn from all of you over the last four years. This team brings the magic to what we do every day and I’ve been constantly inspired by your authenticity, passion, empathy and unwavering dedication to our mission.
No matter how long you’ve been with us and no matter what your position is, I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for your commitment to improving lives through learning and letting me learn from you. We will deeply miss our departing Udemates, hold them close to our hearts and encourage everyone to support them as best as we can.
I look forward to connecting with you all in our scheduled All Hands meetings throughout the day. Thank you for everything.
