Veritone® Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2019

Record Quarterly Revenues of $12.3 Million

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and solutions, today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Chad Steelberg, CEO and Chairman of Veritone, said, “Our second quarter net revenues increased 194% year-over-year to a record $12.3 million, due to a $6.2 million contribution from the companies we acquired last year and organic growth. Our aiWARE SaaS revenue increased by 211% (102% excluding acquisitions) compared with the second quarter of 2018. We achieved new customer wins in all of our end markets in the second quarter, through both direct and channel sales efforts. In the first half of 2019, we saw increasing traction with our new Attribute, Identify and Redact applications for aiWARE and introduced our powerful Illuminate application, positioning us well for growth in the future. We continue to believe that the inherent strategic value of our aiWARE OS is becoming stronger and more evident as we expand our addressable market with these unique and powerful AI-based solutions.”

“Our advertising business continues to deliver outstanding growth, with net revenues reaching $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, driven by the differentiation of aiWARE and our leading market share in the rapidly growing podcast segment,” said Ryan Steelberg, President of Veritone. “This morning, we announced Influencer Bridge, the first of three initiatives that we expect to launch this quarter that will expand our served market, leveraging our AI-enabled software and the scale of our platform in Media and Entertainment. We expect this effort, coupled with the increasing traction we are seeing in our public safety and legal markets, to further diversify and accelerate our growth.”

Chad Steelberg concluded, “Executing effectively in the second quarter, we achieved 45% organic net revenue growth, improved our Adjusted EBITDAS loss year-over-year and sequentially in both dollars and rate, more than doubled the number of customer trials for our Identify and Redact applications, and unveiled our innovative new Illuminate application for the Legal and Government markets. Looking ahead, we are very well positioned to accelerate our organic net revenue growth and deliver on our vision to be the AI platform of choice.”

  • Net revenues increased 194% to $12.3 million, compared with $4.2 million in Q2 2018.
  • aiWARE SaaS revenues increased 211% compared with Q2 2018 to $2.7 million ($1.7 million, or an increase of 102%, excluding acquisitions).

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results:

Net revenues were $12.3 million, including $6.2 million from the Company’s acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. This was comprised of $2.7 million from aiWARE SaaS solutions, $3.8 million from aiWARE content licensing and media services, and $5.8 million from Advertising. Net revenues from the Company's aiWARE software and services businesses were 52% of total net revenues.

Operating expenses were $24.4 million, an increase of $6.6 million compared with $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was due primarily to the addition of approximately $3.3 million of operating expenses of the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 2018, approximately $0.6 million of amortization of intangibles and earn-out compensation linked to those acquisitions, and approximately $2.5 million of additional stock-based compensation expense.

Loss from operations was $16.7 million, an increase of $2.2 million compared with a loss from operations of $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Net loss totaled $16.7 million, or $(0.80) per share, compared with $14.3 million, or $(0.88) per share, in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss was $9.2 million, or $(0.44) per share, compared with $11.0 million, or $(0.67) per share, in the second quarter of 2018. See “About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for an explanation of the items excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net loss and a reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss following the financial statements below.

Adjusted EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled a loss of $9.2 million, or 75% of net revenues, compared with a loss of $11.0 million, or 263% of net revenues, in the second quarter of 2018. The lower Adjusted EBITDAS loss was due primarily to the increase in net revenues, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses related to the recent acquisitions. See “About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for an explanation of the items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDAS and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDAS following the financial statements below.

Cash: As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $45.3 million, including $8.9 million of cash received from Advertising clients for future payments to vendors, and no long-term debt. During the second quarter, the Company raised net proceeds of $8.1 million through the issuance of 1.0 million shares of its common stock under the ATM facility established in the second quarter of 2018.

First Half 2019 Financial Results:

Net revenues were $24.4 million, including $12.5 million from the Company’s recent acquisitions, compared with $8.6 million in the first half of 2018. This was comprised of $5.5 million from aiWARE SaaS solutions, $7.4 million from aiWARE content licensing and media services, and $11.6 million from Advertising. Net revenues from the Company's aiWARE software and services businesses were 53% of total revenue.

Operating expenses were $49.2 million, an increase of $14.3 million compared with $34.9 million in the first half of 2018. The increase was due primarily to the addition of approximately $6.7 million of operating expenses of the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 2018, approximately $1.1 million of amortization of intangibles and earn-out compensation linked to those acquisitions, and approximately $5.3 million of additional stock-based compensation expense.

Loss from operations was $33.2 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared with a loss from operations of $27.7 million in the first half of 2018.

Net loss totaled $33.0 million, or $(1.64) per share compared with $27.4 million, or $(1.69) per share, in the first half of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss was $18.5 million, or $(0.92) per share, compared with $21.2 million, or $(1.31) per share, in the first half of 2018. See “About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for an explanation of the items excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net loss and a reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss following the financial statements below.

Adjusted EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled a loss of $18.5 million, or 76% of net revenues, compared with a loss of $21.2 million, or 248% of net revenues, for the first six months of 2018. The lower Adjusted EBITDAS loss was due primarily to the increase in net revenues, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses related to the recent acquisitions. See “About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for an explanation of the items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDAS and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDAS following the financial statements below.

Third Quarter 2019 Revenue Outlook:

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2019, the Company expects its total net revenues to be in the range of $12.6 million to $13.0 million.

About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this news release, the Company has supplemented its financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures: “Non-GAAP net loss,” “Non-GAAP net loss per share,” and “Adjusted EBITDAS.” Non-GAAP net loss is the company’s net loss, adjusted to exclude interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain acquisition, integration and financing-related costs. Adjusted EBITDAS is defined as earnings before interest expense, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses, adjusted to exclude certain acquisition, integration and financing-related costs. Adjusted EBITDAS should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The items excluded from Non-GAAP net loss and Adjusted EBITDAS are detailed in the reconciliations included following the financial statements attached to this news release. Other companies (including the Company’s competitors) may define Non-GAAP net loss and/or Adjusted EBITDAS differently.

In addition, following the financial statements attached to this news release, the Company has provided additional supplemental non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating expenses, loss from operations, other income, net, and loss before income taxes, excluding the items excluded from non-GAAP net loss as noted above, and reconciling such non-GAAP measures to the applicable GAAP measures.

The Company presents this supplemental non-GAAP financial information because management believes such information to be important supplemental measures of performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. These non-GAAP measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Veritone or predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider this supplemental non-GAAP financial information in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding the Company’s belief that its new applications have positioned it well for future growth; the Company’s belief regarding the value of its aiWARE OS; the expectation that the Company’s new audio advertising initiatives, together with its increasing traction in the public safety and legal markets, will diversify and accelerate its revenue growth; the Company’s belief that it is very well positioned to accelerate its organic revenue growth and deliver on its vision to be the AI platform of choice; the expected benefits of Influencer Bridge to content creators; and the Company’s expected total net revenues in the third quarter of 2019. In addition, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “should,” “could,” “estimate” or “continue” or the plural, negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and are based on management’s current assumptions, beliefs and information. As such, the Company’s actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause such differences include, among other things, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate its recent acquisitions; the Company’s ability to achieve broad recognition and customer acceptance of its products and services; the Company’s ability to continue to develop and add additional capabilities and features to its aiWARE operating system, including expanding the capabilities of its Conductor technology and extending it to other cognitive classes; the development of the market for cognitive analytics solutions; the ability of third parties to develop and provide additional high quality, relevant cognitive engines and applications; the Company’s ability to successfully identify and integrate such additional third-party cognitive engines and applications onto its aiWARE operating system, and to continue to be able to access and utilize such engines and applications, and the cost thereof; as well as the impact of future economic, competitive and market conditions, particularly those related to its strategic end markets; and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Certain of these judgments and risks are discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s objectives or plans will be achieved.
