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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (our “Annual Report”), and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”). In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the sections of this Report captioned “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” For a discussion of limitations in measuring certain of our key metrics, see the section of this Report captioned “Limitations of Key Metrics and Other Data.”

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains certain financial measures, in particular the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they provide us and readers of this Report with additional insight into our operational performance relative to earlier periods and relative to our competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for any GAAP financial information. Readers of this Report should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in this Report.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this Report to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Rush Street Interactive, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our Business

We are a leading online gaming and entertainment company that focuses primarily on online casino and online sports betting in the U.S., Canadian and Latin American markets. Our mission is to engage and delight players by delivering friendly, fun and fair betting experiences. In furtherance of this mission, we strive to create an online community for our customers where we are transparent and honest, treat our customers fairly, show them that we value their time and loyalty, and listen to feedback. We also endeavor to implement industry leading responsible gaming practices and provide our customers with a cutting-edge online gaming platform and exciting, personalized offerings that will enhance their user experience.

We provide our customers with an array of leading gaming offerings such as real-money online casino, online sports betting and retail sports betting (i.e., sports betting services provided at bricks-and-mortar locations), as well as social gaming, which involves free-to-play games using virtual credits that users can earn or purchase (where permitted). We launched our first social gaming website in 2015 and began accepting real-money bets in the United States in 2016. Currently, we offer real-money online casino, online sports betting and/or retail sports betting in 16 U.S. states and four international markets as outlined in the table below.

Our real-money online casino and online sports betting offerings are generally provided under our BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse brands in the United States and Canada and under our RushBet brand in Latin America (which includes Mexico). We operate and/or support retail sports betting for our bricks-and-mortar partners under our brands or our partners’ respective brands depending on the terms of our arrangement. Many of our social gaming offerings are marketed under our own brands, although we also offer social gaming under our partners’ brands as well. Our decision about what brand or brands to use is market and/or partner specific, and is based on brand awareness, market research, marketing efficiency and applicable gaming rules and regulations.

Trends in Key Metrics

Monthly Active Users

MAUs is the number of unique users per month who have placed at least one real-money bet across one or more of our online casino, poker or online sports betting offerings. For periods longer than one month, we average the MAUs for the months in the relevant period. We exclude users who have made a deposit but have not yet placed a real-money bet on at least one of our online offerings. We also exclude users who have placed a real-money bet but only with promotional incentives.

MAUs is a key indicator of the scale of our user base and awareness of our brands. We believe that year-over-year MAUs is also generally indicative of the long-term revenue growth potential of our business, although MAUs in individual periods may be less indicative of our longer-term expectations. We expect the number of MAUs to grow as we attract, retain and re-engage users in new and existing jurisdictions and expand our offerings to appeal to a wider audience.

Table of Contents

The chart below presents our average MAUs in the United States and Canada for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The increase in MAUs in the United States and Canada was mainly due to our continued growth and strong customer retention rates in existing markets. Additionally, we continue to achieve a positive response from our strategic advertising and marketing efforts.

The chart below presents our average MAUs in Latin America (including Mexico) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The increase in MAUs in Latin America was mainly due to our continued growth and strong customer retention rates in Colombia and Mexico. Additionally, we continue to achieve a positive response from our strategic advertising and marketing efforts.

Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User

ARPMAU for an applicable period is monthly revenue divided by average MAUs. This key metric represents our ability to drive usage and monetization of our online offerings.

The chart below presents our ARPMAU in the United States and Canada for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The year-over-year decrease in ARPMAU was primarily attributable to the significant increase in MAUs during the same period. This trend reflects this influx of new players, who generally generate lower ARPMAU compared to more established players, thus reducing overall ARPMAU.

22

Table of Contents

The chart below presents our ARPMAU in Latin America (including Mexico) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The year-over-year increase in ARPMAU in Latin America was primarily driven by a reduction in player bonusing during the three months ended March 31, 2026. This decrease in player bonusing followed a ruling by the Colombian Constitutional Court that a presidential decree imposing a temporary value-added tax on online betting in Colombia, which became effective during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was unconstitutional.

Non-GAAP Information

This Report includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and operating performance, as it is similar to measures reported by our public competitors and is regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest income or expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, adjustments for certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because certain expenses are either non-cash or are not related to our underlying business performance.

We include Adjusted EBITDA because management uses it to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the distribution of capital and new investments. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on our past financial and operating performance, enables comparison of financial results from period-to-period where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in operating our business. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Key Components of Revenue and Expenses

Revenue

We currently offer real-money online casino, online sports betting and/or retail sports betting in 16 U.S. states, Colombia, Ontario, Canada, Mexico and Peru. We also provide social gaming, where users can earn or purchase (where permitted) virtual credits to enjoy free-to-play games.

Our revenue is predominantly generated from our U.S. and Canada operations, with the remaining revenue being generated from our Latin America (including Mexico) operations. We generate revenue primarily through the following offerings:

Online Casino

Online casino offerings typically include the full suite of games available in bricks-and-mortar casinos, such as table games (i.e., blackjack and roulette), slot machines and poker games. For these offerings (other than online poker), similar to bricks-and-mortar casinos, we generate revenue through hold, or gross winnings, as customers play against the house. For our poker game offerings, like land-based card rooms that are typically incorporated in land-based casinos, we are generally not exposed to the risks of game play or the outcome of the game as players are not playing against the house but are instead playing against each other on a peer-to-peer basis. We generate revenue through rake, or a small commission taken from the total wagers placed on the hand, which is generally subject to a cap, and through tournament entry fees. Like bricks-and-mortar casinos, there is volatility with online casino, but as the number of bets placed increases, the revenue retained from bets placed becomes easier t

We operate and/or support retail sports betting for our bricks-and-mortar partners under our brands or our partners’ respective brands depending on the terms of our arrangement.

Our decision about what brand or brands to use is market- and partner-specific, and is based on brand awareness, market research, marketing efficiency and applicable gaming rules and regulations.

Our Business Model

We enter new markets by leveraging our proprietary online gaming platform and our ability to provide either a full-suite service model or a customized solution to fit a specific situation. Our business model is designed to be nimble, innovative and customer-centric. By leveraging our dynamic proprietary online gaming platform, we generally aim to be “first to market” where real-money online gaming has been newly legalized and where our management determines that it is desirable to enter such market.

We currently generate revenue through two operating models: (i) B2C and (ii) B2B. Through our primary operating model, B2C, we offer online casino, online sports betting, retail sports betting and social gaming directly to the end

63

customer through our websites, apps or physical retail locations. Our B2C operations contributed more than 99% and 98% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and we expect that it will continue to be our primary operating model into the future. While real-money transactions represent a majority of our B2C revenue, our social gaming offerings generally increase customer engagement and build online databases in key markets both before and after legalization and regulation. We believe our B2C model is flexible, permitting us to customize our operating structure based on applicable gaming regulations, market demands and, as applicable, our partner’s operations. Through our B2B operations, we primarily offer retail sports betting services to land-based businesses, such as bricks-and-mortar casinos, in exchange for a monthly commission. B2C and B2B products can be launched under one of our existing brands or customized to be incorporated into a local or third-party brand.

Often in advance of markets legalizing online gaming, we build relationships with local bricks-and-mortar casino operators and other potential land-based partners who are seeking online gaming and sports betting partners. In most U.S. jurisdictions, the applicable gaming regulations require online gaming operators that offer real-money offerings to operate under the gaming license of, or partner with, a bricks-and-mortar casino, lottery or other type of local partner such as a professional sports team. Consequently, we leverage our relationships with bricks-and-mortar casinos and others in the gaming industry to find high-quality, reliable partners for online gaming collaboration. Upon securing a partner for access to a specific market (if required or desirable) and before we launch operations in that market, we customize our online gaming platform to comply with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction. Then, upon entering a new market, we employ a number of marketing strategies to obtain new customers as well as leverage our partner’s database when applicable. We continuously refine our offerings and marketing strategies based on data collected from each market. To attract, engage, retain and/or reactivate customers, we offer a loyalty program that rewards customers in exciting, fair and transparent ways. We recognize and reward customer loyalty by, among other things, ensuring there are exciting benefits at every customer loyalty level we offer.

Trends in Key Metrics

Monthly Active Users

MAUs is the number of unique users per month who have placed at least one real-money bet across one or more of our online casino (including online poker) or online sports betting offerings. For periods longer than one month, we average the MAUs for the months in the relevant period. We exclude users who have made a deposit but have not yet placed a real-money bet on at least one of our online offerings. We also exclude users who have placed a real-money bet but only with promotional incentives.

MAUs is a key indicator of the scale of our user base and awareness of our brands. We believe that year-over-year MAUs is also generally indicative of the long-term revenue growth potential of our business, although MAUs in individual periods may be less indicative of our longer-term expectations. We expect the number of MAUs to grow as we attract, retain and re-engage users in new and existing jurisdictions and expand our offerings to appeal to a wider audience.

64

The chart below presents our average MAUs in the United States and Canada for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The year-over-year increase in MAUs in the United States and Canada for 2025 compared to 2024, as well as for 2024 compared to 2023, was mainly due to our continued growth and strong customer retention rates in existing markets, and our continued achievement of positive response from our strategic advertising and marketing efforts. Additionally, the full year of operations in Delaware in 2024 significantly contributed to the year-over-year increase in MAUs for 2024 compared to 2023.

The chart below presents our average MAUs in Latin America (including Mexico) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The year-over-year increase in MAUs in Latin America for 2025 compared to 2024, as well as for 2024 compared to 2023, was mainly due to our continued growth, strong customer retention rates, and our continued achievement of positive response from our strategic advertising and marketing efforts. In 2024, we also experienced an uplift in MAUs driven by

65

the Copa América soccer tournament in mid-2024 and our launch in Peru during the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, the full year of operations in Peru in 2025 contributed to the year-over-year increase in MAUs for 2025 compared to 2024.

Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User

ARPMAU for an applicable period is monthly revenue divided by average MAUs. This key metric represents our ability to drive usage and monetization of our online offerings.

The chart below presents our ARPMAU in the United States and Canada for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

ARPMAU remained generally flat in the United States and Canada for 2025 compared to 2024 while significantly increasing MAUs in the same period. This trend reflects the addition of new players, who typically generate lower ARPMAU compared to more established players. The year-over-year increase for 2024 compared to 2023 was mainly due to MAU growth in online casino markets, including Delaware, outpacing that of sports betting only markets, the impact of our strategic advertising and marketing efforts and our focus on retaining quality players.

66

The chart below presents our ARPMAU in Latin America (including Mexico) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The year-over-year decrease in ARPMAU in Latin America for 2025 compared to 2024 was mainly driven by the negative impact of our additional player bonusing as a result of the value-added tax imposed on customer deposits in Colombia, which became effective during the year ended December 31, 2025. We generally maintained ARPMAU in Latin America at a roughly consistent level for 2024 compared to 2023, while significantly increasing MAUs in the same period. The Company experienced a significant increase in sports betting-only customers, during the 2024 Copa América soccer tournament, who generally generate less revenue per customer than customers who use online casino.

Non-GAAP Information

This MD&A includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and operating performance, as it is similar to measures reported by our public competitors and is regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, adjustments for certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments that are detailed in the reconciliation table below. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because certain expenses are either non-cash or are not related to our underlying business performance.

We include Adjusted EBITDA because management uses it to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the distribution of capital and new investments. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on our past financial and operating performance, enables comparison of financial results from period-to-period where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allows for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in operating our business.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results

Our financial position and results of operations depend, to a significant extent, on the following factors:

Industry Opportunity and Competitive Landscape

We operate within the global gaming and entertainment industry, which is comprised of diverse products and offerings that compete for consumers’ time and disposable income. As we prepare to enter new jurisdictions, we expect to face significant competition from other existing industry players, some of which may have more experience in online casino, and online and/or retail sports betting or in one or more of the markets in which we operate or intend to operate, and have access to more resources. We believe that our proprietary online gaming platform, our experience operating in domestic and foreign jurisdictions, our brand and marketing strategies, which appeal to both male and female customers, and our many unique product offerings and bonusing features will enable us to compete with such existing industry players.

Our performance may vary from one jurisdiction to the next, resulting from the level of competition in each jurisdiction.

Legalization, Regulation and Taxation

Our financial growth prospects largely depend on our ability to make our online casino and sports betting offerings available in more jurisdictions, with particular emphasis on the United States and Latin America, a trend that we believe is still in its early stage. Online casino may expand further due to many factors, including that many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions are seeking ways to increase revenues. In the United States, online sports betting’s prospects were made possible after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down PASPA in May 2018. Our strategy is to enter new jurisdictions that we believe are financially prudent for us to enter. Online casino is currently authorized only in nine U.S. states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine (although the market is not yet operating), Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Rhode Island and Nevada (although regulators have not authorized online casino outside of physical casinos in Nevada). As of the date hereof, 39 states and the District of Columbia have authorized sports betting. Of those 40 jurisdictions, 32 states have authorized statewide online sports betting while 8 remain authorized for retail-only at casinos or retail locations. In Latin America, several countries, including Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru, are either exploring legalizing, expanding or regulating online casino and/or online sports betting, or have recently legalized these activities.

The process of securing the necessary licenses or partnerships to operate in a given jurisdiction may take longer or be more difficult than we anticipate. In addition, legislative or regulatory restrictions and gaming taxes may make it less attractive or more difficult for us to do business in a particular jurisdiction. Further, certain jurisdictions require us to have a relationship with a bricks-and-mortar casino or other land-based partner for online casino and/or sports betting access, which tends to increase our costs of revenue. Jurisdictions that have established state or government-run monopolies may limit opportunities for private operators such as us.

States, foreign jurisdictions and some local governments impose tax rates on online casino and sports betting, which may vary substantially between jurisdictions and may change from time to time, usually because of factors outside our control. We are also subject to a U.S. federal excise tax of 0.25% on the amount of each sports bet placed in the United

68

States. We believe the jurisdictions that will create the most compelling levels of profitability for us are jurisdictions with both online casino and sports betting at favorable tax rates.

Ability to Acquire, Retain and Monetize Customers

Our ability to effectively market is critical to operational success. Using experience, dynamic learnings and analytics, we leverage marketing to acquire, convert, retain and/or re-engage customers. We use a variety of earned media and paid marketing channels, in combination with compelling offers, brand ambassadors, proprietary content, and unique game and site features, to attract and engage customers. Furthermore, we continuously optimize our marketing spend using data collected from our operations. Our marketing spend is based on a return-on-investment model that considers a variety of factors, including the product offerings in the jurisdiction, local advertising rules, the performance of different marketing channels, predicted lifetime value, marginal costs and expenses and behavior of customers across various product offerings.

With respect to paid marketing, we use a broad array of advertising channels, including television, radio, out-of-home (i.e., billboards, stadium signage), social media platforms, sponsorships, affiliates and paid search, and other digital channels. We also use other forms of marketing and outreach, such as our social media channels, first-party websites, media interviews and other media spots and organic searches. These efforts are concentrated within the specific jurisdictions where we operate or intend to operate to the extent possible. We believe there is significant benefit to having a flexible approach to advertising spending as we can quickly redirect our advertising spending based on dynamic testing of which advertising methods and channels are working and which ones are not. These investments and personalized promotions are intended to increase consumer awareness and drive engagement.

Managing Wagering Risk

The online casino and retail and online sports betting businesses are characterized by an element of chance. Accordingly, we employ theoretical win rates to estimate what a certain type of online casino wager or retail or online sports bet, on average, will win or lose in the long run. Revenue is impacted by variations in the hold percentage (the ratio of our winnings to total amount bet) of our offerings. We use the hold percentage as an indicator of an online casino game or retail or online sports bet’s performance against its expected outcome. Although each bet generally performs within a defined statistical range of outcomes in the long run, actual outcomes may vary for any given period, particularly in the short term. The element of chance may affect win rates (hold percentages); these win rates, particularly for retail and online sports betting, may also be affected in the short term by factors that are largely beyond our control, such as unanticipated event outcomes, a customer’s skill, experience and behavior, the mix of games played or bets placed, the financial resources of customers, the volume of bets placed and the amount of time spent betting. For online casino games, a random number generator outcome or game could malfunction and award errant prizes. For sports betting, our platform could erroneously posts odds or otherwise be misprogrammed to pay out odds that are highly favorable to bettors, and bettors place bets before the odds are corrected. Additionally, odds compilers and risk managers are capable of human error, so even if our betting products are subject to a capped payout, significant volatility can occur. As a result of the variability in these factors, the actual win rates on our online casino games and retail and online sports bets may differ from the theoretical win rates we have estimated and could result in the winnings of our customers exceeding those anticipated. The variability of win rates (hold rates) also has the potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and cash flows.

Mix of Revenue Based on Time Period in Markets

Our profitability generally depends on how long we have been operating in each jurisdiction. Usually, but not always, our profitability levels will increase in a jurisdiction as we have operated there for longer.

Mix of Revenue From Our Different Operating Models

Because we operate using two different operating models, each with its own unique range of profitability, the relative proportion of revenue that is derived from each operating model in a given time period could impact our overall level of profitability.

69

Player Liquidity and Volume for Online Poker

The success, and ultimately the profitability, of online poker offering is generally dependent on high levels of player liquidity and volume of game play or tournament participation. In most cases, our profitability levels from our online poker offering will increase as more players participate and the aggregate amount of wagers increases.

Key Components of Revenue and Expenses

We currently offer real-money online casino, online sports betting and/or retail sports betting in 16 U.S. states, Colombia, Ontario, Canada, Mexico and Peru. We also provide social gaming, where users can earn or purchase (where permitted) virtual credits to enjoy free-to-play games.

Our revenue is predominantly generated from our U.S. and Canada operations, with the remaining revenue being generated from our Latin America (including Mexico) operations. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. We generate revenue primarily through the following offerings:

Online Casino

Online casino offerings typically include the full suite of games available in bricks-and-mortar casinos, such as table games (i.e., blackjack and roulette), slot machines and poker games. For these offerings (other than online poker), similar to bricks-and-mortar casinos, we generate revenue through hold, or gross winnings, as customers play against the house. For our poker game offerings, like land-based card rooms that are typically incorporated in land-based casinos, we are generally not exposed to the risks of game play or the outcome of the game as players are not playing against the house but are instead playing against each other on a peer-to-peer basis. We generate revenue through rake, or a small commission taken from the total wagers placed on the hand, which is generally subject to a cap, and through tournament entry fees. Like bricks-and-mortar casinos, there is volatility with online casino, but as the number of bets placed increases, the revenue retained from bets placed becomes easier to predict. Our experience has been that online casino revenue is less volatile than sports betting revenue.

Our online casino offering consists of a combination of licensed content from leading industry suppliers, customized third-party games, our proprietary online poker platform and a small number of proprietary games that were developed exclusively for us. Third-party content is usually subject to standard revenue-sharing agreements specific to each supplier, where the supplier generally receives a percentage of the net gaming revenue generated from its casino games played on our platform. In exchange, we receive a limited license to offer the games on our platform to customers in permitted jurisdictions. We generally pay much lower fees on revenue generated through our proprietary casino games such as our multi-bet blackjack (with side bets: 21+3, Lucky Ladies, Lucky Lucky), and single-deck blackjack, which primarily relate to hosting/remote gaming server fees and certain intellectual property license fees.

With respect to online poker, player liquidity, or the number or volume of players with an operator, is critical to the success of the game, with a greater number of players supporting a wider range and greater volume of games and larger tournaments, thereby increasing the quality of the offering to the consumer. Our online poker offerings include a comprehensive suite of game formats, including cash games, sit & go tournaments, and multi-table tournaments, catering to players of all skill levels. Players play against each other in either ring games (i.e., games for cash on a hand-by-hand basis) or in tournaments (i.e., players play against each other for tournament chips with prize money distributed to the last remaining competitors) or variations thereof.

Online casino revenue (other than from online poker) is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in the progressive jackpot reserve. Online casino revenue from online poker is recognized as rake (i.e., percentage of a game’s wagers earned by the Company for satisfying the performance obligation) less any value given back to players, which could be in the form of cash, tournament tickets or other form of bonuses.

Online Sports Betting

Online sports betting involves a user placing a bet on the outcome of a sporting event, a sports-related activity or a series of the same, with the chance to win a pre-determined amount, often referred to as fixed odds. Online sports betting revenue is generated by setting odds such that there is a built-in theoretical margin in each sports bet offered to customers. While sporting event outcomes may result in revenue volatility, we believe that we can achieve a positive long-term betting win margin. In addition to traditional fixed-odds betting, we also offer other fixed-odd sports betting products including in-

70

game betting and multi-sport and same-game parlay betting. We have also incorporated live streaming of certain sporting events into our online sports betting offering. Integrated into our online sports betting platform is a third-party risk and trading platform currently provided by certain subsidiaries of Kambi Group plc.

Online sports revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled sports bets.

Retail Sports Betting

We provide retail sports betting services to certain land-based partners in exchange for a monthly commission that is calculated based on the land-based retail sportsbook revenue. Services generally include ongoing management and oversight of the retail sportsbook (i.e., within a bricks-and-mortar location), technical support for such partner’s customers, risk management, advertising and promotion, and support for third-party sports betting equipment.

In addition, certain relationships with our partners provide us the ability to operate the retail sportsbook at the land-based partner’s facility. In this scenario, revenue is generated based on total customer bets less amounts paid to customers for winning bets, less other incentives awarded to customers, plus or minus the change in unsettled retail sports bets.

Social Gaming

We provide social gaming where users can earn or purchase (where permitted) virtual credits to enjoy free-to-play games. Users who exhaust their credits can either purchase additional virtual credits from the virtual cashier, if permitted, or wait until their virtual credits are replenished for free. Virtual credits have no monetary value and can only be used within our social gaming platform.

Our social gaming business has three main goals: build online databases in key markets ahead of and post-legalization and regulation; generate revenues; and increase engagement and visitation to our bricks-and-mortar partner properties. Our social gaming products are a marketing tool that keeps the applicable brands present in the minds of our users and engages with users through another channel while providing the entertainment value that users seek. We also leverage our social gaming products to cross-sell to our real-money offerings in jurisdictions where real-money gaming is authorized.

We recognize deferred revenue when users purchase virtual credits and revenue when those credits are redeemed. We pay a percentage of the social gaming revenue derived from the sale and redemption of the virtual credits to content suppliers as well as to our land-based partners.

Costs and Expenses

Costs of Revenue. Costs of revenue consist primarily of (i) revenue share and market access fees, which is reduced by any consideration from the vendor, (ii) third-party platform and content fees, (iii) gaming taxes, (iv) payment processing fees and chargebacks and (v) salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel. These costs are primarily variable in nature and should, in large part, correlate with the change in revenue. Revenue share and market access fees consist primarily of variable amounts paid to local partners that hold the applicable gaming license, providing us the ability to offer our real-money online offerings in the respective jurisdictions. Our third-party platform and content fees are primarily driven by costs associated with third-party casino content, data and streaming, sports betting trading services, geolocation, know-your-customer and platform hosting. Gaming taxes include jurisdictional taxes that are determined based on a percentage of revenue (or similar metrics) or excise taxes that are determined based on a percentage of bets placed. We incur payment processing costs on player deposits, withdrawals and occasionally chargebacks (i.e., when a payment processor contractually disallows customer deposits in the normal course of business).

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of costs associated with marketing our products and services via different channels, promotional activities and the related costs incurred to acquire new customers. These costs also include salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation for dedicated personnel and are expensed as incurred.

Our ability to effectively market is critical to our success. Using experience, dynamic learnings and analytics, we leverage marketing to acquire, convert, retain and re-engage customers. We use a variety of earned media and paid marketing channels, in combination with compelling offers, brand ambassadors, proprietary content and unique game and site features, to attract and engage customers. Further, we continuously optimize our marketing spend using data collected

71

from our operations. Our marketing spend is based on a return-on-investment model that considers a variety of factors, including the product offerings in the jurisdiction, local advertising rules, the performance of different marketing channels, predicted lifetime value, marginal costs and expenses and behavior of customers across various product offerings.

With respect to paid marketing, we use a broad array of advertising channels, including television, radio, out-of-home (i.e., billboards, stadium signage), social media platforms, sponsorships, affiliates and paid search, and other digital channels. We also use other forms of marketing and outreach, such as our social media channels, first-party websites, media interviews and other media spots and organic searches. These efforts are primarily concentrated within the specific jurisdictions where we operate or intend to operate. We believe there is significant benefit to having a flexible approach to advertising spending as we can quickly redirect our advertising spending based on dynamic testing of our advertising methods and channels.

General and Administrative. General and administrative costs consist primarily of administrative personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and share-based compensation), professional fees related to legal, compliance, accounting and consulting, indirect technology costs, rent expense, insurance costs and foreign exchange gains or losses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on our property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets (including market access licenses, gaming jurisdictional licenses, internally developed software, trademark, developed technology and other intangibles) and finance lease right-of-use assets over their useful lives. See Notes 2, 4, 5 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability. The costs or adjustment to costs associated with the recognition of the TRA liability is recorded in Change in tax receivable agreement liability on the consolidated statements of operations. This cost or adjustment reflects changes in the estimated future payments under the TRA attributable to RSILP Unit exchanges completed prior to June 30, 2025. These prior exchanges increased our tax basis in our share of RSILP’s underlying assets, giving rise to expected tax savings and corresponding TRA liability. RSILP Unit exchanges occurring after June 30, 2025 will not result in change in tax receivable agreement liability, as the associated increase in tax basis and the resulting TRA liability will be accounted for as equity transactions. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Revenue. Revenue increased by $210.3 million, or 23%, to $1,134.4 million in 2025 as compared to $924.1 million in 2024. The increase was mainly due to and directly correlated with our continued growth across existing markets and expansion into new markets such as Peru, which launched in late July 2024. The increase reflects higher period-over-period online casino and sports betting revenue of $210.4 million and social gaming revenue of $0.3 million, which was partially offset by a decrease of retail sports betting revenue of $0.4 million.

Costs of Revenue. Costs of revenue increased by $139.6 million, or 23%, to $741.6 million in 2025 as compared to $602.0 million in 2024. The increase was mainly due to and directly correlated with, our expansion and continued growth as noted above. Gaming taxes, market access costs, payment processing costs, and operating expenses contributed $56.4 million, $46.3 million, $23.5 million and $13.2 million, respectively, to the year-over-year increase in costs of revenue, with personnel costs contributing to the remaining $0.2 million of the year-over-year increase. Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 65% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $6.1 million, or 4%, to $164.7 million in 2025 as compared to $158.6 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher marketing personnel costs and share-based compensation expense, which was partially offset by reduced marketing spend resulting from management’s strategy to rationalize marketing spend as the North American and Latin American online gaming industries continue to mature. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 15% in 2025 as compared to 17% in 2024.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $5.5 million, or 5%, to $100.7 million in 2025 as compared to $106.2 million in 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, which was partially offset by higher personnel and other administrative costs, consistent with the growth of our business. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 9% in 2025 as compared to 11% in 2024.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.8 million, or 24%, to $40.0 million in 2025 as compared to $32.2 million in 2024. The increase was mainly due to additional costs to acquire internally developed software and other definite-lived intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 4% in 2025 as compared to 3% in 2024.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability. Change in tax receivable agreement liability increased by $107.0 million to $107.7 million in 2025 as compared to $0.7 million in 2024. The increase was associated with our initial recognition of a TRA liability upon realization of future tax benefits associated with the TRA.

Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net, increased by $1.8 million, or 24%, to $9.3 million in 2025 as compared to $7.5 million in 2024. The increase in interest income was mainly attributed to higher amounts of cash held in interest-bearing accounts and money market funds as compared to the same period in 2024.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit was $85.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to income tax expense of $24.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The change in Income tax (benefit) expense was primarily attributable to the release of a valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred asset may be realized.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

A discussion of changes in our results of operations in 2024 compared to 2023 has been omitted from this Form 10-K, but it may be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025, which is available free of charge on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and at www.RushStreetInteractive.com.

Seasonality and Other Trends Impacting Our Business

Our results of operations may, and generally do, fluctuate due to seasonal trends and other factors such as level of customer engagement, online casino and sports betting results and other factors that are outside of our control or that we cannot reasonably predict. Our financial performance depends on our ability to attract and retain customers. Customer engagement in our online offerings may vary due to, among other things, customer satisfaction with our platform, the number, timing and type of sporting events, the length of professional sports seasons, our offerings and marketing efforts and those of our competitors (including those not just in the online gaming industry but also in prediction markets or in the

73

entertainment industry broadly), other forms of entertainment available to our customers, weather conditions, public sentiment, an economic downturn or other economic factors such as inflation, economic uncertainty or macroeconomic conditions. As customer engagement varies, so may our financial performance.

The number and amount of betting losses and jackpot payouts we experience may also negatively impact our quarterly or annual financial results. Although our losses are limited per wager to a maximum payout, when looking at bets across a period of time, these losses can be significant. We offer progressive jackpot games in our online casino offerings. Each time a customer plays a progressive jackpot game, we contribute a portion of the amount bet to the jackpot for that game or group of games. When a progressive jackpot is won, it is paid out and reset to a predetermined base amount. Winning the jackpot is determined by a random mechanism; we cannot foresee when a jackpot will be won, and we do not insure against jackpot payouts. Paying the progressive jackpot decreases our cash position.

Our online sports betting and retail sports betting operations experience seasonality based on the relative popularity and frequency of certain sporting events. Although sporting events occur throughout the year, our online sports betting customers are most active during the NFL, NBA, college football and basketball seasons. With respect to our online sports betting and retail sports betting operations, customer activity tends to increase, and we may experience increased volatility, in connection with major sporting events such as the NFL super bowl, the NBA finals and NCAA basketball March Madness. In addition, sports betting activity is impacted by the occurrence of periodic events (e.g., World Cup, Copa América, UEFA, Olympics).

From a legislative perspective, we continue to see strong momentum to legalize and regulate online sports betting in new jurisdictions in the Americas. As expected, many of these new jurisdictions are first trying to legalize and regulate online sports betting before considering whether to legalize and regulate online casino. However, given the tax generation success of online casino in markets where it has been legalized, we also continue to see strong momentum for online casino in several jurisdictions in the Americas that are looking for additional revenue sources to fund expanding budgets. For example, in 2025 and thus far in 2026, several U.S. states introduced bills to legalize and regulate online casino. Earlier this year, one such bill in Maine became law enabling statewide wagering in partnership with certain Native American tribes, while others either remain pending, including a bill in Virginia that has received several favorable votes during this current legislative session. We believe this shows that there is strong interest in legalizing online casino. Additionally, we have seen governmental officials or legislative or regulatory bodies in certain jurisdictions in which we operate consider, and in limited cases to date, approve, increases in gaming-related taxes or other types of taxes on companies operating in the gaming industry. While it is unclear at this time if this will continue, any proposed legislation or other similar actions to increase existing taxes on online sportsbook and/or casino could negatively impact our business, profitability and cash flows.

We operate within the global gaming and entertainment industry, which is comprised of diverse products and offerings that compete for consumers’ time and disposable income. We face and expect to continue to face significant competition from other industry players both within existing and new markets including from competitors with access to more resources, existing assets such as brands or databases, or experience. Customer demands for new and innovative offerings and features require us to continue to invest in new technologies, features and content to improve the customer experience. Many jurisdictions in which we operate or intend to operate in the future have unique regulatory and/or technological requirements, which require us to have robust, scalable networks and infrastructure, and agile engineering and software development capabilities. The global gaming and entertainment industry has seen significant consolidation, regulatory change and technological development over the last few years, and we expect this trend to continue into the foreseeable future, which may create opportunities for us but may also create competitive and margin pressures. We are starting to see some other online gaming operators rationalize their marketing spend in North American jurisdictions, although their marketing spend may vary by quarter depending on, among other things, sports calendars, new market launches and prior commitments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations. We regularly monitor our liquidity position, working capital needs and capital allocation strategy to ensure we maintain adequate resources to support our business operations, fund strategic initiatives and fulfill other corporate and contractual obligations, including those under our TRA and the amended and restated partnership agreement of RSILP (the “A&R Partnership Agreement”).

74

As of December 31, 2025, we had $336.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding legally restricted customer cash deposits that we segregate from our operating cash balances. We intend to continue to finance our operations without third-party debt and entirely from operating cash flows and cash on our balance sheet.

Our current working capital needs relate mainly to supporting our existing businesses, the growth of these businesses in their existing markets and their expansion into other geographic regions, as well as our personnel’s compensation and benefits. We expect our material cash requirements during the upcoming 12-month period to include $18.3 million of non-cancellable purchase obligations with marketing vendors, $4.1 million of minimum license and market access fees, and $2.8 million of lease payments. We also have $55.6 million of additional non-cancellable purchase obligations that will be due subsequent to the upcoming 12-month period. In addition, we will continue to pursue expansion into new markets, which is expected to require significant capital investments.

We are required to make payments equal to 85% of the tax benefits we realize in connection with the TRA. These obligations under the TRA, while mainly non-current in nature, reduce future operating cash flows as the associated tax benefits are realized. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments made under the TRA will vary, such payments may be significant. Any payments made under the TRA will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us and, to the extent that payments required under the TRA are unable to be made for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid. To date, no material payments under the TRA have been made. Payments associated with the TRA liability are expected to include $1.2 million in the next 12 months and additional obligations of $128.8 million are expected subsequent to the upcoming 12-month period.

RSILP is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, taxable income will be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the holders of RSILP Units. The A&R Partnership Agreement requires RSILP to make tax distributions to holders of RSILP Units (including the Special Limited Partner) calculated at certain assumed rates. In some cases, these assumed rates may be significantly higher than the holders’ actual tax rates. The amount of these tax distributions can be significant, in particular as RSILP’s profitability increases, which will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. To date, no material tax distribution payments have been made, and no material payments thereunder are expected in the next 12 months.

We expect our existing cash and cash equivalent and cash flows from operations to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. It is possible that we may need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including unanticipated regulatory developments, significant acquisitions, partnerships or marketing initiatives, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and competitive pressures. We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to continue to increase in the immediate future to support our growth as we seek to expand our offerings across more of North America, Latin America and worldwide, which will require significant investment in our online gaming platform and our personnel, in particular in product development, engineering and operations roles. See Note 14 of our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a summary of our commitments as of December 31, 2025. We also expect certain costs such as marketing, market access and license fees to increase to the extent we pursue expansion opportunities in new and existing jurisdictions. In particular, we are party to several non-cancelable contracts with vendors and licensors for marketing and other strategic partnerships, pursuant to which we are obligated to make future minimum payments under the non-cancelable terms of these contracts. Additionally, our continued profitability will trigger future quarterly tax distribution obligations payable to the limited partners of RSILP under the A&R Partnership Agreement. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in new product, service or market launches and related marketing initiatives or to scale back our existing operations, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Surety Bonds

We had been issued $31.3 million and $31.1 million in surety bonds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that are used to satisfy regulatory requirements related to securing cash held on behalf of customers. In addition, we had also been issued $6.4 million and $6.1 million in surety bonds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to satisfy regulatory requirements necessary to operate in certain jurisdictions.

75

There have been no claims against any of our surety bonds and the likelihood of future claims is expected to be remote.

Debt and Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no outstanding debt.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had an outstanding letter of credit for $6.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in connection with our operations in Colombia for which no amounts had been drawn.

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 24, 2024, our Board authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of up to $50 million of our Class A Common Stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws (the “Stock Repurchase Program”).

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we repurchased 733,019 and nil shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $7.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 at an average price of $10.41. The repurchased shares are considered issued but not outstanding.

A discussion of changes in cash flows in 2025 compared to 2024 is included below. A discussion of changes in cash flows in 2024 compared to 2023 has been omitted from this Form 10-K, but it may be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025, which is available free of charge on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and at www.RushStreetInteractive.com.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during 2025 increased by $58.6 million to $165.0 million, as compared to $106.4 million during the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher period-over-period net income totaling $66.8 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in non-cash expenses of $6.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.0 million. The decrease in non-cash expenses was driven primarily by the deferred income tax benefit of $112.1 million and a decrease in share-based compensation expense totaling $9.0 million, which was partially offset by change in tax receivable agreement liability, additional depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash lease expense of $107.0 million, $7.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities during 2025 increased by $3.6 million to $37.0 million, as compared to $33.4 million during 2024. The increase reflects higher cash paid for internally developed software totaling $4.2 million and additional acquisitions of other intangible assets and developed technology totaling $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This was partially offset by lower period-over-period short-term investments, acquisition of gaming licenses and purchases of property and equipment of $0.8 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities during 2025 increased by $34.7 million to $37.4 million, as compared to $2.7 million during 2024. The increase reflects higher payments of employee taxes related to net share

76

settlement of equity awards, repurchases of Class A Common Stock, payments of finance liabilities and payments for tax distributions to non-controlling interests totaling $25.3 million, $7.6 million, $1.2 million, $0.7 million, respectively, which was slightly offset by lower proceeds from exercise of stock options of $0.1 million.

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The net effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, when expressed in U.S. Dollar terms, was an increase of $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a decrease of $8.7 million for the same period in 2024. These changes were due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (primarily the Colombian Peso) from period to period.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In doing so, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A discussion of our more significant estimates follows. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates and assumptions with the Audit Committee of the Board. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information on our critical and other significant accounting policies.

Share-based Compensation

We have issued stock-based awards with service-based conditions or market-based conditions. Our historical and outstanding share-based compensation awards are described in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Share-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the stock-based awards and is recognized over the requisite service period of the awards. To estimate the fair value of stock option awards, we used the Black-Scholes model, and we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of grants with market-based conditions. Both the Black-Scholes model and the Monte Carlo simulation require management to make a number of key assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, fair value of our Class A Common Stock, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term. The expected term assumption used in the Black-Scholes model is calculated using the simplified method as we have insufficient historical information regarding our stock options to provide a basis for an estimate. Under this approach, the expected term, which represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding, is estimated using the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option. The fair value of our Class A Common Stock is determined based on the quoted market price.

The assumptions underlying these valuations represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes change and our management uses significantly different assumptions or estimates, our share-based compensation expense for future periods could be materially different, including as a result of adjustments to share-based compensation expense recorded for prior periods.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryovers, for recoverability, and a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences are deductible. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we make estimates and assumptions regarding projected future taxable income, our ability to carry back operating losses to prior periods, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Based on historical pre-tax earnings

77

trends and assumptions about future performance, we expect to generate taxable income in future periods. Accordingly, we have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that certain deferred tax assets are realizable. As we reassess these assumptions in the future, changes in forecasted taxable income may alter this expectation and may result in an increase to the valuation allowance and an increase in the effective tax rate.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. We recognize penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxes line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Pursuant to the TRA, the Special Limited Partner is required to pay to the Sellers and/or the exchanging holders of RSILP Units, as applicable, 85% of the net income tax savings that we and our consolidated subsidiaries (including the Special Limited Partner) realize as a result of increases in tax basis in RSILP’s assets related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the future exchange of the Retained RSILP Units for shares of Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the RSILP A&R LPA and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA, and those payments may be substantial.

We evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets resulting from the exchange of RSILP Units for Class A Common Stock. If the deferred tax assets are determined to be realizable, we then assess whether payment of amounts under the TRA have become probable. If so, we record a TRA liability, generally equal to 85% of such deferred tax assets. In subsequent periods, we assess the realizability of all our deferred tax assets subject to the TRA. Should it be determined that a deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance is realizable in a subsequent period, the related valuation allowance will be released and consideration of a corresponding TRA liability will be assessed. The realizability of deferred tax assets, including those subject to the TRA, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those deferred tax assets become deductible and consideration of prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies.

The measurement of the TRA liability is accounted for as a contingent liability. Therefore, once we determine that a payment becomes probable and can be estimated, the estimate of the payment will be accrued.
