Certain preliminary and unaudited financial information of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not yet available. The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates based on currently available information and is subject to change. The Company’s financial closing procedures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not yet complete and, as a result, financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 may vary from the preliminary estimates provided herein upon completion of the Company’s closing procedures. See the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary and unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included in Exhibit 99.1 and the actual financial results and other information the Company will report for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The preliminary and unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included in Exhibit 99.1 has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, management. Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to such preliminary information. Accordingly, Grant Thornton LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements and other information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits hereto) that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s preliminary estimates of financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and relating to Veritone Data Refinery, may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for the Company’s ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change or revision that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including additional information becoming available after the Company completes its financial closing procedures for the three months ended March 31, 2025, changes in expectations with respect to Veritone Data Refinery and as identified in the risk factors included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
