'We delivered a strong start to the year, and we continue to make meaningful progress across each of our key growth vectors. We had strong demand in specialty medical, continued progress in mid-market, and solid performance in our payments business,' said CEO Brett White. 'Following the closing, the pending acquisition of TrueLark, a leading provider of AI-powered front-desk automation, will advance Weave's AI roadmap, bringing us closer to realizing our vision for the 'practice of the future', and will position us at the forefront of workflow automation with always-on, autonomous patient engagement. We believe this move will expand our addressable market and strengthen our position for long-term growth. We're creating lasting value for our customers by helping practices operate more efficiently and deliver exceptional patient experiences.'

Recent Business Highlights
Announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding equity of TrueLark 1 for $35.0 million, comprising $25.0 million in cash and $10.0 million in equity. TrueLark is an AI-powered virtual receptionist designed for appointment-based small and medium sized businesses ('SMBs'), with an agentic AI platform that automates scheduling, rescheduling, and client inquiries via SMS and web chat. More than just a product addition, this acquisition positions Weave at the forefront of agentic AI in SMB healthcare. TrueLark enables 24/7 engagement, converting missed calls into booked appointments, and streamlines front-office operations, allowing staff to focus on improved patient and client experiences.
Achieved a record quarter in specialty medical sales, driven by strong performance in Med Spa, Plastic Surgery, Primary Care, and Physical Therapy. Growth was supported by new integrations with Prompt, Practice Fusion, and Veradigm, which expanded Weave's serviceable market by an estimated 60,000 locations.

Financial Second Quarter and Full Year 2025 Outlook
The company expects to achieve the following financial results for the three months ending June 30, 2025 and the full year ending December 31, 2025, assuming that the closing of the proposed TrueLark acquisition occurs in the second quarter of 2025:
The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the 'Forward-Looking Statements' safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations excludes estimates for, among other things, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition transaction costs (as described further below). A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial guidance measure to a corresponding GAAP financial guidance measure is not available on a forward-looking basis because we do not provide guidance on GAAP income (loss) from operations and are not able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations without unreasonable effort. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and are subject to change. Likewise, remaining acquisition transaction costs are difficult to predict and are subject to change as a result of professional services engaged and other variable costs. The actual amount of these expenses during 2025 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Weave has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'). We disclose the following historical non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations margin, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze our financial results and evaluate our ongoing operational performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in understanding and evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider these non-GAAP financial measures along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and our GAAP financial results. We have provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) margin and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share
We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and acquisition transaction costs, and non-GAAP net income (loss) margin as non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue. Acquisition transaction costs include legal and accounting professional services costs incurred as a result of our acquisitions during the period. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin
We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP operating expenses
We define non-GAAP operating expenses, in the aggregate or its individual components (i.e., sales and marketing, research and development or general and administrative), as the applicable GAAP operating expenses adjusted to exclude the applicable stock-based compensation expense and acquisition transaction costs.
Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations margin
We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as GAAP loss from operations less stock-based compensation expense and acquisition transaction costs, and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations margin as non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, interest income, other income/expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Our depreciation adjustment includes depreciation on operating fixed assets and we do not adjust for amortization of finance lease right-of-use assets on phone hardware provided to our customers. Our amortization adjustment includes the amortization of capitalized costs from both internal-use software development and cloud computing arrangements. We further adjust EBITDA to exclude stock-based compensation expense, a non-cash item, and acquisition transaction costs, which we believe are not reflective of ongoing results of operations in the period incurred and not directly related to the operation of our business. Acquisition transaction costs include legal and accounting professional services costs incurred during the period as a result of our pending acquisition. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations. Additionally, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure our financial and operational performance and prepare our budgets.
Free cash flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides useful information to management and investors, even if negative, as it provides information about the amount of cash consumed by our combined operating and investing activities. For example, as free cash flow has in the past been negative, we have needed to access cash reserves or other sources of capital for these investments.
The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. For example, the non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be directly comparable to that of other companies. In addition, free cash flow does not reflect our future contractual commitments and the total increase or decrease of our cash balance for a given period. Further, Adjusted EBITDA excludes some costs, namely, non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non-cash impact of stock-based compensation expense or working capital needs that will continue for the foreseeable future. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools.
Supplemental Financial Information
Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention ('NRR')
For retention rate calculations, we use adjusted monthly revenue ('AMR'), which is calculated for each location as the sum of (i) the subscription component of revenue for each month and (ii) the average of the trailing three-month recurring payments revenue. To calculate our NRR, we first identify the cohort of locations (the 'Base Locations') that were active in a particular month (the 'Base Month'). We then divide AMR for the Base Locations in the same month of the subsequent year by AMR in the Base Month to derive a monthly NRR. We derive our annual NRR as of any date by taking a weighted average of the monthly net retention rates over the trailing twelve months before such date.
Dollar-Based Gross Revenue Retention ('GRR')
To calculate our GRR, we first identify the Base Locations that were under subscription in the Base Month. We then calculate the effect of reductions in revenue from customer location terminations by measuring the amount of AMR in the Base Month for Base Locations still under subscription twelve months subsequent to the Base Month (the 'Remaining AMR'). We then divide the Remaining AMR for the Base Locations by AMR in the Base Month for the Base Locations to derive a monthly gross retention rate. We calculate GRR as of any date by taking a weighted average of the monthly gross retention rates over the trailing twelve months prior to such date. GRR reflects the effect of customer locations that terminate their subscriptions, but does not reflect changes in revenue due to revenue expansion, revenue contraction, or the addition of new customer locations.
Number of Locations
We measure locations as the total number of customer locations under subscription active on the Weave platform as of the end of each month. A single organization or customer with multiple divisions, segments, offices or subsidiaries is counted as multiple locations if they have entered into subscriptions for each location.
As a reminder, we only provide customer location information on an annual basis with annual and fourth quarter results and do not provide this information with financial statements or earnings releases covering interim periods.
Forward-Looking Statements
