| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, which can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company does not have any subsidiaries or controlled affiliates; therefore, the condensed financial statements do not require consolidation. Certain prior year cash flow amounts have been reclassified to reflect the current year presentation within operating activities. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported net (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, or net cash provided by operating activities. The condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. These operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected of the full year performance. Other than those described below, there were no significant changes to the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates that include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, software development costs, including capitalization and the allocation of labor costs between cost of revenue and research and development expense, income taxes, leases, contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, breakage, and stock-based compensation. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used to determine certain amounts that affect the condensed financial statements are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Segments Operating segments are components of a company for which separate financial information is internally produced for regular use by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to allocate resources and assess the performance of the business. Our CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s operations as a single operating and reportable segment. Accordingly, our CODM uses net (loss) income as reported in the condensed statements of operations to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources, and assess performance, including in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or other investments. Significant segment expenses provided to the CODM are the same as those reported in the condensed statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk by placing the large majority of its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions within the United States. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, one client accounted for 11% and 15% of accounts receivable, respectively. There were no clients that represented 10% or more of the Company's revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount of gross billings for fees and rewards, less an allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are unsecured and comprised of amounts due from the Company’s clients. The majority of the Company’s clients are nationally recognized companies and generally have payment terms of 30 to 90 days. An allowance for credit losses is recorded based on our best estimate of expected uncollectible accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in the allowance are classified as general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on historical collection experience and the review in each period of the status of the then-outstanding accounts receivable, while taking into consideration current client information, collection history, general economic conditions, and other relevant data. The Company has elected the practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the receivables balance. Account balances are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the receivable will not be recovered. The following table presents changes in the accounts receivable allowance for credit losses (in thousands):
User Redemption Liability and Due to Third-Party Publishers Consumers earn rewards by redeeming offers on Ibotta’s D2C properties and our third-party publisher properties. The undistributed rewards earned by consumers on D2C properties are reflected in the user redemption liability in the condensed balance sheets. The user redemption liability is reduced as consumers cash out and through breakage (see Note 3 – User Redemption Liability Extinguishment). Rewards earned by consumers on third-party publisher properties represent a payable reflected in the due to third-party publishers liability in the condensed balance sheets. The due to third-party publishers liability also includes revenue share and related minimum commitments due to certain publishers. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The principal activities from which the Company generates revenue are as follows: Redemption Revenue The Company’s clients promote their products and services to consumers through rewards offered on the IPN, and the Company earns a fee per redemption. The Company recognizes revenue from redemption campaign clients as fees are earned, net of rewards to consumers, as the Company acts as the agent to the Company’s clients in the facilitation of the sale to the consumer. The Company may also charge fees to set up a redemption campaign which are deferred and recognized over the average duration of historical redemption campaigns. Ad & Other Revenue The Company’s clients may also run advertisements such as banners, tiles, newsletters, and feature placements on D2C properties. Ad products are billed, and revenue is recognized, as the service is performed over the advertising period. The Company also offers a number of data products and services to clients, including data licensing and audience targeting. Some products and services are billed as a flat fee amount while others are billed based on usage. Data revenue is recognized as it is delivered. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (ASU 2025-05), which introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis, and elected to apply the practical expedient, which did not have a significant impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires new tabular disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement captions. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which clarified the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. While the application of this guidance will result in additional disclosure of expenses presented in the Company’s statements of operations, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting standards and determined they were either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
