COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and solutions, today reported results for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Veritone reported record revenue of $15.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, reflecting record contributions from Advertising and aiWARE SaaS Solutions. GAAP net loss was $11.0 million and non-GAAP net loss was $4.3 million, improving $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, compared with the third quarter of 2019.

“Across the board, the team performed with skill and agility, helping our customers improve their businesses and build resilience in these challenging times through the adoption of our cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions, anchored by our powerful aiWARE platform,” said Chad Steelberg, Chairman and CEO of Veritone. “Third quarter revenue increased by 23% year over year and 18% sequentially. Our momentum was boosted by our timely and well received move into aiWARE solutions for energy, which complement our growing presence in the media and entertainment and government, legal and compliance markets.”

Ryan Steelberg, President of Veritone added, “Our team performed extremely well in the third quarter, with revenue from each vertical exceeding the expectations we had coming into the quarter. The 43% year-over-year growth in our aiWARE SaaS business reflects both our increasing traction in the government, legal and compliance markets and initial revenue from the energy market. Both of these markets hold enormous potential for Veritone, and we are driving hard to meet the increasing demand for our solutions.”

Recent Business Highlights

  • Launched Veritone Energy, a suite of AI solutions aimed at increasing grid reliability to support utilities’ integration of renewable energy sources, and maximizing their profitability.
  • Added GovQA to the growing list of technology and channel partners targeting U.S. Government customers and state and local law enforcement agencies with aiWARE.
  • Completed and announced the integration of aiWARE with George Jon’s Kits, accelerating the rapid discovery of actionable evidence critical to eDiscovery processes.
  • Renewed and expanded relationship with CBS News with a new multi-year license agreement.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Business Outlook

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $16.0 million to $16.4 million, representing a 30% increase year over year at the midpoint.
  • Non-GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $4.5 million to $4.0 million, representing a 47% improvement year over year at the midpoint.

Financial Results for Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Revenue was a record $15.7 million, compared with $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. The growth reflects a 43% increase in aiWARE SaaS Solutions, including revenue from the Company’s new energy solutions, and a 39% increase in Advertising, reflecting contributions from both VeriAds and Veritone One, offset in part by a 13% decrease in aiWARE Content Licensing and Media Services due primarily to lower licensing activity resulting from the cancellation of sporting events because of the pandemic.

Loss from operations was $11.0 million, a substantial improvement compared with $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. The $5.2 million improvement was driven primarily by a $2.6 million increase in gross profit due to the higher revenue level and cost savings on efficiencies realized from enhancements to the Company’s aiWARE operating system, coupled with a $2.7 million decrease in operating expenses, particularly in the areas of personnel and professional services, due largely to the cost reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2019.

GAAP net loss was $11.0 million, or $0.40 per share, an improvement of $3.2 million compared with $14.2 million, or $0.64 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net loss was $4.3 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with $9.6 million, or $0.43 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. The $5.4 million improvement in Non-GAAP net loss was driven by the Company’s Core Operations, which improved $4.4 million to Non-GAAP net income of $0.4 million, compared with a Non-GAAP net loss of $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, and by Corporate, which improved $1.0 million to a Non-GAAP net loss of $4.7 million.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $54.3 million, including $34.2 million of cash received from Advertising clients for future payments to vendors, and no long-term debt.

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,” and “Non-GAAP net loss per share.” Non-GAAP net loss is the Company’s net loss, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain acquisition, integration and financing-related costs. Non-GAAP net loss 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, as well as a breakdown of GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net income (loss) and these excluded items between the Company’s core operations and corporate, 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 differently.

Core Operations consists of the Company’s aiWARE operating platform of software, SaaS and related services; content, licensing and advertising agency services; and their supporting operations, including direct costs of sales as well as operating expenses for sales, marketing and product development and certain general and administrative costs dedicated to these operations. Corporate principally consists of general and administrative functions such as executive, finance, legal, people operations, fixed overhead expenses (including facilities and information technology expenses), other income (expenses) and taxes, and other expenses that support the entire company, including public company driven costs.

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 (expense), 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.
