- 2. This presentation and any accompanying oral commentary include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than those of historical fact, including information concerning our future operating results and financial position, anticipated future expenses and investments, business strategies and plans, market growth, market position and potential market opportunities, and the impact of acquisitions and business alliances. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, plans, and assumptions, which we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are only predictions based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. Various factors, including those identified in the "Risk Factors" section of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in our other filings with the SEC which are available, free of charge, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation speaks only as of the date of this presentation and is expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statements included in this presentation. These statements are made as of July 30, 2025. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable laws. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. This presentation contains “non-GAAP measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Among other non-GAAP measures, this presentation uses (1) non-GAAP gross profit, which we define as gross profit adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization and acquired intangible assets; (2) non-GAAP gross margin, which we calculate as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue for the same period; (3) non-GAAP net income (loss), which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring charges; (4) adjusted EBITDA (or AEBITDA), which we calculate as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), net (including gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency), stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring charges; and (5) free cash flow, which we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software costs, as we consider these capital expenditures necessary to support our ongoing operations. These measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may also differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. See the appendix for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Udemy's revenue guidance assumes FX rates will remain unchanged from the end of the second quarter of 2025. As a result, the revenue guidance ranges above assume historical changes in FX rates will have a positive 30 basis point impact on third quarter year-over-year revenue growth and a negative 60 basis point impact on full year 2025 revenue growth. 2. Udemy has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) within this presentation because the company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence.

- 19. 19 Key Business Metrics Definitions Monthly Average Buyers A buyer is a consumer who purchases a course or subscription through our direct-to-consumer offering. We first determine the number of monthly buyers by taking the total buyers of single courses during a given month plus the total active, paid consumer subscribers at any point in that month, adjusting for duplicate buyers that may be present in both totals. We then calculate monthly average buyers by taking an average of the monthly buyer totals over a particular period, such as a fiscal year. Udemy Business Customers We count the total number of UB customers at the end of each period. To do so, we generally count unique customers using the concept of a domestic ultimate parent, defined as the highest business in the family tree that is in the same country as the contracted entity. In some cases, we deviate from this methodology, defining the contracted entity as a unique customer despite the existence of a domestic ultimate parent. This often occurs where the domestic ultimate parent is a financial owner, government entity, conglomerate, or acquisition target where we have contracted directly with the subsidiary. We define a UB customer as a customer who purchases Udemy via our direct sales force, reseller partnerships or through our self-service platform. Udemy Business Annual Recurring Revenue We disclose our UB Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as a measure of our Enterprise revenue growth. ARR represents the annualized value of our UB customer contracts on the last day of a given period. Only revenue from closed UB contracts with active seats as of the last day of the period are included. Udemy Business Net Dollar Retention Rate We disclose our UB Net Dollar Retention Rate, or NDRR, as a measure of our enterprise revenue growth. We believe NDRR is an important metric that provides insight into the long-term value of our subscription agreements and our ability to retain, and grow revenue from, our UB customers. To calculate NDRR, we begin with UB customers who are active at the beginning of a twelve-month period. Then, we divide the ending annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, for those same UB customers at the end of the twelve-month period by the total ARR for those UB customers at the beginning of that twelve-month period. We calculate ARR as the total annualized run-rate revenue of all UB customers with active licenses on the last day of a given period. Udemy Business Large Customer Net Dollar Retention Rate We calculate UB Large Customer NDRR as the total UB Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by the total Large Customer ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of UB customers with at least 1,000 employees active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. We believe UB Large Customer NDRR reflects our ability to retain and expand our footprint with larger organizations, who present greater opportunities for us to retain and grow revenue given the wider range of potential use cases and land-and-expand opportunities. Segment Revenue and segment adjusted gross profit Segment revenue represents the revenue recognized from our two segments, Enterprise (or Udemy Business), and Consumer. Segment adjusted gross profit is defined as segment revenue less segment adjusted cost of revenue. Segment adjusted cost of revenue includes content costs, customer support services, hosting and platform costs, and payment processing fees that are allocable to each segment. Segment adjusted gross profit excludes amortization of capitalized software, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenue as our chief operating decision maker does not include the information in his measurement of the performance of the operating segments.
