Veritone® Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018

COSTA MESA, CA – February 21, 2019 – Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and solutions, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

Chad Steelberg, CEO and Chairman of Veritone, commented: “In 2018, we successfully executed our strategy to expand our product offerings, invest in complementary technologies and further drive customer adoption of aiWARE. For the full year, our Advertising net revenues increased 32%, and our aiWARE SaaS net revenues were up 307%, compared with 2017. These increases reflect both strong organic growth and contributions from our acquisitions in the third quarter, which extended the capabilities of aiWARE and diversified our customer base and product capabilities.”

“Our work in 2018 has positioned us well for accelerated revenue growth in 2019. Over the past few months, we added five new applications to our aiWARE platform that deliver solutions based on cognition of audio, video and structured content. Three market focused applications, Attribute, Identify and Redact, were developed by us and two, CORE and Digital Media Hub, came from our acquisition of Wazee Digital. aiWARE’s architecture allows us to build these applications quickly and inexpensively, and they deliver significant benefits for users, ranging from timelier optimization of advertising spend to faster identification of potential criminal suspects to more efficient compliance with information disclosure requirements.  We are seeing great interest in these applications from both current and new customers, and we expect them to contribute to significant revenue growth this year. With these new products, our pipeline of other products under development and the momentum in our business, we are excited about our growth prospects in 2019.  We will leverage this revenue growth and prudent expense management to materially reduce our Adjusted EBITDAS loss this year,” concluded Steelberg.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Net revenues increased 213% to $10.9 million from $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.  The acquisitions that were completed in August contributed $4.8 million to net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2018.  Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, Advertising net revenues totaled $4.7 million, a year-over-year increase of 55%, driven primarily by a significant ad campaign run by one customer during the fourth quarter of 2018.  Excluding the impact of the acquisitions, aiWARE SaaS net revenues totaled $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, a year-over-year increase of 211%, due to the increased number of customers and accounts, increased revenue from existing customers, and a performance incentive that the Company earned during the quarter.

Gross profit increased 128% to $7.4 million from $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the prior year period was due primarily to the higher revenue level from the Company’s aiWARE SaaS business and the contributions of the Company’s recent acquisitions. Gross margin was 68%, versus 93% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in gross margin reflects the higher proportion of net revenues from the Company’s aiWARE SaaS and aiWARE Content Licensing and Media Services businesses, which generally carry lower gross margins than its Advertising business, and to higher amortization expense related to technology acquired in its recent acquisitions.

Total operating expenses were $25.5 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or 58%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase was due primarily to the addition of the operating expenses of the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 2018, higher stock-based compensation expense, increased amortization expense related to the intangibles of the businesses acquired in the third quarter of 2018, and higher compensation expense related to earn out incentives associated with one of the acquisitions.

Loss from operations was $18.0 million, an increase of $5.2 million compared with the loss from operations of $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, due primarily to higher stock-based compensation expense, higher amortization of intangible, and earn out incentives associated with one of the acquisitions.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $17.8 million, or $(0.92) per share based on 19.2 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with $12.8 million, or $(0.83) per share based on 15.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Earnings before interest expense, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses, adjusted to exclude certain acquisition, integration and financing-related costs (Adjusted EBITDAS), a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled a loss of $8.9 million, or 82% of net revenues, compared with a loss of $10.2 million, or 292% of net revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2017.  The lower Adjusted EBITDAS loss was due primarily to the increase in net revenues, offset in part by the increase in operating expenses. See “About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDAS” 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 at the end of this news release.

Cash: As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $51.1 million, including $7.5 million of cash received from clients for future payments to vendors, and no long-term debt.

Full Year 2018 Financial Results

Net revenues increased 88% to $27.0 million from $14.4 million in 2017, including $7.0 million in 2018 from the Company’s recent acquisitions. Excluding the impact of the recent acquisitions, Advertising net revenues for 2018 totaled $15.4 million, an increase of 19% compared with the prior year, and aiWARE SaaS net revenues totaled $4.7 million, an increase of 220% compared with 2017.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $61.1 million, or $(3.48) per share based on 17.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with $64.1 million, or $(6.20) per share based on 10.3 million weighted average shares outstanding, in 2017.

Adjusted EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled a loss of $39.0 million, compared with a loss of $30.2 million in 2017.  The increased Adjusted EBITDAS loss was due primarily to the addition of software development, data science, product management, and sales and marketing personnel, which management expects will lead to enhancements to the Company’s aiWARE operating system and increased net revenues in the future. 

First Quarter 2019 Revenue Outlook:

For the first quarter ending March 31, 2019, the Company expects its total net revenues to be in the range of $11.5 million to $11.9 million.

About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDAS

Adjusted EBITDAS is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and 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 Adjusted EBITDAS are detailed in the reconciliation included at the end of this news release. Other companies (including the Company’s competitors) may define Adjusted EBITDAS differently. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDAS because management believes it to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is 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. This non-GAAP measure may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Veritone or predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDAS in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported in accordance with GAAP.
