Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2. PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are based on the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are normal, recurring and necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected in the three month periods presented are unaudited. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company used cash in operations of $76,421 and generated cash flows from operations of $3,737, respectively, and incurred net losses of $58,625 and $25,557, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated cash flows from operations of $15,931 and used cash in operations of $33,785, respectively, and incurred net losses of $25,198 and $22,963, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $455,094. Historically, the Company has satisfied its capital needs with the net proceeds from sales of its equity securities, issuances of its convertible debt, borrowings under its term loan and the exercises of common stock options and warrants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated cash flows from operations of $15,931, driven principally by the timing of payments from customers and from client advances, partially offset by the Company’s net loss of $25,198. The Company used cash in investing activities of $1,901, driven principally by capital expenditures, and used cash in financing activities of $2,674, driven principally

by the settlement of contingent and deferred consideration. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $91,662, including long term restricted cash of $929. Based on the Company's liquidity position as of March 31, 2024 and the Company's current forecast of operating results and cash flows, absent any other action, management determined that the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations for the foreseeable future, including over the next twelve months.

In the near term and to meet its obligations as they come due, the Company expects to capture these and potential future cost synergies from the Company’s past acquisitions. The Company expects the cost synergies coupled with the additional cost reduction measures to enable the Company to continue operations for the foreseeable future, including over the next twelve months.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to the accounting recognition and presentation of revenue, allowance for credit losses, purchase accounting, impairment of long-lived assets, the valuation of contingent consideration, the valuation of senior secured debt, the valuation of non-cash consideration received in barter transactions and the evaluation of its realizability, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants and income taxes, where applicable.

There has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets due to a number of factors including the wars in Ukraine and Israel, the global inflationary environment and high interest rates. The war in Israel has also adversely impacted the Company’s business operations because the Company has an office and personnel based in Herzliya, Israel. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Significant Customers

During and as of the three months ended March 31, 2024, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and one individual customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. During and as of the three months ended March 31, 2023, one individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue and two individual customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable. No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023.

 

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue when customer payments are received in advance of the Company meeting all the revenue recognition criteria. The Company recognized $5,742 of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023.

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices under the Company’s contracts allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $26,734, approximately 48.0% of which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter to be recognized over the next three years. This aggregate amount excludes amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts that have an original duration of one year or less and variable consideration that is allocated to remaining performance obligations. Excluded based on this policy are balances related to Veritone Hire solutions representing gross purchase orders to be satisfied in less than one year. Revenues will be recognized net of costs to fulfill these orders.

 

Segment Information

The Company operates as one reportable segment. The Company reports segment information based on the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision maker for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

 

Seasonality

The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its revenue and operating performance as a result of the utilization of its platform and associated revenues from its Software Products & Services. In particular, Veritone Hire solutions revenues and advertising have historically been higher in the second half of each fiscal year, consistent with the hiring and spending cycles of the Company’s larger customers. The Company also experiences seasonality as a result of factors such as the timing of large projects, the length and complexity of sales cycles,

trends impacting the Company’s target vertical markets and the Company’s revenue recognition policies and any changes to those policies. Within a given quarter, a higher proportion of the Company’s agreements are signed toward the end of such quarter. Although these seasonal factors are common in the technology industry, historical patterns should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future sales activity or performance.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This standard was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 and the impact of the adoption was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in order to align the recognition of a contract liability with the definition of a performance obligation. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
