Current report

The historical financial results of our former wholly-owned subsidiary Veritone One are reflected in our consolidated financial statements herein as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated.

Current report

On January 2, 2025, we sold 4,414,878 shares of our common stock, priced at $2.53 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,608,838 shares of our common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), priced at $2.52 per pre-funded warrant, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, to Esousa Group Holdings, LLC, a New York-based family office, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $20.3 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses.

Current report

The Pre-Funded Warrants were offered in lieu of shares of our common stock and provide that the holder may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock (the “Maximum Percentage”) after such exercise. Subject to the Maximum Percentage, the Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the fifth anniversary of the original issue date of the Pre-Funded Warrants. If, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares, in lieu of making cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Current report

On November 19, 2024, we entered into the Sales Agreement with Needham & Company, LLC and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as Sales Agents, to establish the ATM Program, allowing us to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $35.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in our consolidated financial statements herein as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. See Note 3 on Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations and Divestiturefor more information.

Current report

During the first quarter of 2024, we enacted certain operational and restructuring initiatives (the “Q1 2024 Restructuring”). As a result of the Q1 2024 Restructuring, we reduced our annualized operating expenses by approximately $13.0 million. We continued with additional cost reductions in the second half of 2024, which when combined with our Q1 2024 Restructuring, resulted in over $40.0 million of net annualized strategic cost reductions since the beginning of fiscal 2023. We incurred $5.4 million in one-time severance and transition expenses in connection with the 2024 restructurings, of which $4.1 million was paid as of December 31, 2024. The cumulative results of these initiatives was an approximate 19% reduction in our global workforce.

Current report

On March 12, 2025, the Board appointed Francisco Morales as a member of the Board, effective as of March 20, 2025, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Chad Steelberg’s resignation as a director on March 12, 2025. Mr. Morales will serve as a Class III director until the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. Mr. Chad Steelberg will continue to serve as a strategic advisor to the Company following his resignation from the Board.

Current report

In October 2024, we divested our wholly-owned subsidiary, Veritone One, for a total purchase price of up to $104.0 million. This strategic decision was made to enhance our focus on our core business and growth initiatives, particularly in Software Products & Services. By divesting non-core assets, we aim to streamline operations, reduce complexity, and allocate resources more effectively toward areas that align with our long-term strategic goals. The Divestiture allows us to concentrate on organic growth, enabling greater innovation, operational efficiency, and the ability to respond more swiftly to market opportunities within our primary business segments. As a result of this transaction, we expect to see potential positive impacts, e.g., improved margins, increased operational efficiency, more effective allocation of capital and believes that this sharper focus will drive sustainable growth and value creation for our shareholders moving forward.

Current report

Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated as gross profit with adjustments to add back depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.

Current report

We present non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share from continuing operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share from discontinued operations, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP gross margin 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 our industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring annual bonus compensation targets for its executive personnel, including its named executive officers. Our non-GAAP net income (loss) provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as it eliminates the effect of items that are often unrelated to overall operating performance. Our non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin allow investors and our management team to analyze our operating performance by excluding expenses that are not directly related to the cost of providing goods and services.

Current report

(3) A reconciliation of non-GAAP net income from discontinued operations to GAAP net income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is set forth in the table below.

Current report

(a) Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes allocated interest expense of $4.7 million, net of interest income, $9.2 million expense related to the acceleration of amortization of debt discount in connection with the partial repayment of the Term Loan and a $3.1 million prepayment penalty.

Current report

GAAP gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $61.7 million declined $8.6 million or 12.3% from the year ended December 31, 2023 largely due to the corresponding decline in revenue, coupled with higher depreciation and amortization in 2024 as a result of the June 2023 Broadbean acquisition. GAAP gross margin of 66.6% during the year ended December 31, 2024 declined 380 basis points as compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of the higher depreciation and amortization expense from the June 2023 Broadbean acquisition, coupled with year over year declines in higher gross margin revenue from consumption-based and one time software revenue.

Current report

Non-GAAP gross profit declined $6.9 million or 9.5% due to the decline in revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Non-GAAP gross margin of 70.6% declined 170 basis points as compared to the same period in 2023 as year over year declines in higher gross margin revenue from consumption-based and one time software revenue. Historically, our gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin have been impacted significantly by the mix of our Software Products &

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we experienced several adverse financial trends and the divestiture of our media advertising division. As a result, we determined that an indicators of impairment were present and performed quantitative goodwill impairment assessments as of June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

Current report

Commercial Enterprise revenue of $87.0 million decreased $7.0 million, or 7.4% in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to Commercial Enterprise revenue of $94.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The $7.0 million decline was driven primarily by Commercial Enterprise Software Products & Services revenue due to decreased revenue from one-time software sales and from consumption-based customers, including Amazon, partially offset by the addition of Broadbean in the second quarter of 2023.

Current report

Cost of Revenue (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization). Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the decline in revenues, especially in the higher margin Software Products & Services. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased in 2024 to 29.4% from 27.8% in 2023.

Current report

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased $13.8 million, or 33.9% in 2024 compared with 2023, principally due to decreased personnel-related costs resulting from various cost reduction initiatives. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 28.9% in 2024 from 40.6% in 2023.

Current report

Interest expense, net of $12.1 million for 2024 was driven by increased interest expense from our Term Loan. Interest expense, net for 2023 was $2.8 million.

Current report

Other income, net of $0.1 million for 2024 was primarily due to the change in the fair value of earnout receivable of $1.4 million, partially offset by a foreign translation loss of $0.6 million, and a loss on sale of our investment in GridBeyond of $0.2 million. Other income, net for 2023 was $3.3 million and was comprised primarily of a $2.6 million gain on sale of investment and a foreign translation gain of $0.7 million.

Current report

On October 17, 2024, we consummated the Divestiture. The Divestiture was strategic, allowing us to focus on our AI solutions, and secondarily to improve our financial liquidity with the net proceeds from the Divestiture. During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in our consolidated financial statements herein as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. See Note 3 on Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations and Divestiturefor more information.

Current report

Net income from discontinued operations was $58.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and included the $66.5 million gain on sale, $9.4 million in income from operations, offset by $16.9 million of net interest expense. Interest expense included allocated interest expense from our Term Loan of $4.7 million, net of interest income, $9.2 million expense related to the acceleration of amortization of debt discount in connection with the partial repayment of the Term Loan and a $3.1 million prepayment penalty. Net income from discontinued operations was $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and primarily consisted of revenue of $27.6 million, offset by cost of revenue of $0.5 million, and other operating expenses of $19.8 million.

Current report

On March 13, 2025, we entered into a Limited Consent (the “Limited Consent”) to the Credit Agreement, with the lenders and administrative agent party thereto. Pursuant to the Limited Consent, the lenders consented to the delivery by us of our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and a report of our independent certified public accountants relating thereto that do not meet certain requirements of the Credit Agreement requiring, among other things, delivery of audited consolidated financial statements and a report thereon of the our independent certified public accountants that are unqualified as to going concern. As consideration for the Limited Consent, we paid an aggregate of $1.0 million in cash to the lenders party to the Limited Consent. Except as set forth in the Limited Consent, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. With this amendment, we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with the covenants in the Term Loan.

Broadbean Acquisition. On June 13, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Broadbean (as defined herein) for a total purchase price of $53.3 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Broadbean is a global leader of talent acquisition software-as-a-service technology, and the acquisition of Broadbean is intended to strengthen our AI-driven human resources product suite and build on our previous acquisition of PandoLogic. A portion of the purchase consideration, consisting of $1.3 million in cash, was deposited into a third-party escrow account at closing and will be held in such account for the purposes of satisfying any post-closing indemnification claims and certain post-closing adjustments. We also obtained a representation and warranty insurance policy at closing.

Previous report

Energy Group Divestiture. On June 30, 2023, we completed the sale of our energy group (the “Energy Divestiture”) to GridBeyond Limited, an Ireland-based privately held company (“GridBeyond”) that delivers AI-powered energy solutions, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. We received 4,160,644 shares of Series B Preference Shares in GridBeyond valued at approximately $2.0 million, plus $0.5 million in cash. The Energy Divestiture did not meet the criteria of discontinued operations because the disposal did not have a major effect on our operations or financial results.

Previous report

Appointment of Ryan Steelberg as Chairman. Ryan Steelberg, our Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Chairman of the Board, effective January 22, 2024, replacing Chad Steelberg who resigned as Chairman of the Board on the same date. Chad Steelberg continues to serve as a member of our Board.

Previous report

We believe there are significant near and long-term revenue and growth opportunities from our Software Products & Services. In June 2023, we completed the acquisition of Broadbean, a leader in subscription-based talent acquisition software-as-a-service which has approximately 3,000 subscription-based customers based throughout the world, integrated with over 100 applicant tracking systems (“ATS”) and has direct access to over 2,500 job boards globally. The acquisition of Broadbean was strategic to our growth across our hiring applications, as we plan in the near term to offer our existing product offerings to Broadbean’s 3,000 customers, including programmatic advertising capabilities. Over the long term, we plan to utilize our AI capabilities to analyze complex data sets through direct access to these ATS, including future integration with aiWARE. In Government & Regulated Industries markets, we see growth opportunities with customer adoption of our products and services related to AI technologies and with our official Authorization to Operate, of our aiWARE platform across the entire U.S. Department of Justice and progress with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer and Department of Defense, including our recently announced iDEMS platform. However, many enterprise-level opportunities with Government & Regulated Industries customers can involve long sales cycles, during which we must invest significant time and resources without a guarantee of success.

Previous report

Growing our existing and new Software Products & Services customer base is critical for our success. Software Products & Services revenue declined 19.1% year over year as a result of lower consumption across our Veritone Hire customer base, offset by the addition of Broadbean in the second quarter of 2023, and the decline of certain non-recurring, one-time software revenue in 2023 versus 2022. Since the second quarter of 2022, we have experienced large variances from the consumption use of our Veritone Hire solutions from our customers, including our largest customer Amazon, when compared to the prior year periods. In May 2023, Amazon informed us that they planned to reduce their consumption of our Veritone Hire solutions further. Overall, our revenues from Amazon during the year ended December 31, 2023 declined as compared to the prior year and represented 12% of our consolidated revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 25% of our consolidated revenue in the comparable prior year. As we continue to grow and diversify our customer base over the near and long term, we expect that Amazon's share of our revenue will continue to decline, and will represent less than 5% of our consolidated revenue in fiscal 2024. Offsetting this decline was non-Amazon Software Products & Services revenue, which grew as compared to the prior year, driven in part by Government & Regulated Industries revenue growth of 56% during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the prior year.

Previous report

“Pro Forma” information provided in this annual report on Form 10-K represents our historical information combined with the historical information of Broadbean (as defined below) for the applicable period on a pro forma basis as if we had acquired Broadbean on January 1, 2022.

Previous report

Previous report

(2)Loss from business held for sale relates to the net loss for the periods presented for our energy group that we divested during Q2 2023. We have not recast Non-GAAP Net Loss for periods ended prior to March 31, 2023 because the change in business strategy to divest the business occurred in Q1 2023 and the prior period contributions were costs to operate the continuing business when incurred in the prior periods. The historical amounts would not have a major effect on prior period results.

Previous report

(1) All of the supplemental financial information for this period is presented on a Pro Forma basis inclusive of Broadbean.

Previous report

(2) “Pro Forma Software Revenue” is a non-GAAP measure that represents Software Products & Services revenue on a Pro Forma basis.

Previous report

(1)Software Products & Services consists of aiWARE revenues of $21.1 million and $27.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, as well as Broadbean revenue of $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and PandoLogic revenues of $28.2 million and $57.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Previous report

Commercial Enterprise revenue of $121.7 million decreased $24.3 million, or 16% in the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to Commercial Enterprise revenue of $145.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The $24.3 million decline was driven primarily by Commercial Enterprise Software Products & Services revenue, which decreased $18.5 million, or 23%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior year, and secondarily from Commercial Enterprise Managed Services revenue, which declined $6.0 million year over year. The $18.3 million decline in Commercial Enterprise Software Products & Services revenue was primarily due to a decline of $9.0 million in certain one-time software revenue, and declines in spending by consumption based customers across our hiring solutions, including our largest customer Amazon, offset by incremental revenue from our acquisition of Broadbean in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue from Amazon declined from 25% to 12% of consolidated revenue in 2023 as compared to 2022. The $6.0 million decline in Commercial Enterprise Managed Services revenue was primarilydue to reduced advertising revenue, which declined largely due to reduced spending from existing customers and budget deferrals to later periods as a result of the negative macroeconomic environment in 2023 and 2022.

Previous report

Cost of Revenue. The increase in cost of revenue in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to a shift in the mix of revenues from higher margin Software Products & Services products to lower margin Managed Services products. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 22% in 2023 as compared to 18% in 2022, driven by thedecline in higher margin revenue from consumption customers across Software Products & Services and certain one time software revenue, consistent with the declines in revenue over the same period.

Previous report

Research and Development. The decrease in research and development expenses of $1.5 million, or 3% in 2023 compared with 2022, was primarily due to an increase in capitalized costs for internal use software and a decrease in personnel-related costs due to various cost reduction initiatives enacted throughout 2023, partially offset by increased costs for the consulting agreement we entered into with Steel Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Chad Steelberg, a director on our Board, and our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chairman of our Board in January 2023 and the acquisition of Broadbean in June 2023. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 33% in 2023 from 29% in 2022.

Previous report

Other income, net for 2023 was comprised primarily of a gain on the sale of the energy group of $2.6 million, partially offset by net interest expense of $1.8 million.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our total loss from operations increased to $92.3 million compared to $38.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As noted above, our non-GAAP gross profit is calculated as our revenue less our cost of revenue, as follows:

Previous report

The decrease in non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with the prior year was due primarily due to decreases in revenue compared to the corresponding prior year periods.

Previous report

In December 2023, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into the Credit Agreement with certain lenders and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a $77.5 million senior secured Term Loan, which was fully drawn by us on closing of the Term Loan. In connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement, the Prior Credit Agreement, by and among us, certain of our subsidiaries and Alterna Capital Solutions, LLC, and the related Commercial Guarantee, dated August 8, 2023 were terminated. Immediately prior to its termination, no amounts were outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Previous report

Based on our liquidity position as of December 31, 2023 and our current forecast of operating results and cash flows, absent any other action, management determined that we will need additional liquidity to continue our operations for the foreseeable future, including over the next twelve months. In the near term and to meet its obligations as they come due, we expect to capture cost synergies from our past acquisitions coupled with expected cost savings from additional planned cost reduction measures through optimization of the Company's operational structure. We expect these cost synergies and cost reduction measures to enable us to continue our operations for the foreseeable future, including over the next twelve months.

Previous report

Our operating activities used cash of $76.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, due primarily to our net loss of $58.6 million, adjusted by $4.2 million in non-cash expenses, including $26.1 million in depreciation and amortization and $11.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, offset by $30.0 million from a net gain on debt extinguishment, with an additional $22.0 million from the net working capital decrease. The net working capital decrease is primarily due to an increase in other assets of $2.2 million, an increase in accrued media payments of $8.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $5.7 million, an increase in accounts payable of $5.4 million, an increase in other liabilities of $1.8 million and an increase in other accrued liabilities of $2.9 million.

Previous report

We are a leader in AI-based Software Products & Services. Our proprietary AI operating system, aiWARE, uses machine learning algorithms, or AI models, together with a suite of powerful applications, to reveal valuable insights from vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. Historically, we have derived a large portion of our Software Product & Services revenue from applications we internally developed from our aiWARE platform and actively sold across various customers. While management believes there is a substantial opportunity to increase revenue longer term, current economic conditions have negatively impacted parts of our consumption-based operations and financial results, and there is no certainty that any future investments, which could be significant and include future potential acquisitions, will result in significant enterprise revenue realization or revenue growth when compared with historical revenue. Nevertheless, we continue to see significant opportunities for growth in Software Products & Services and our aiWARE platform sales to existing and newly acquired customers, and where our AI solutions could add near and long-term value in the government and regulated industries and content creation and distribution across the global media and entertainment industry.

We are a leader in AI-based Software Products & Services. Our proprietary AI operating system, aiWARE, uses machine learning algorithms, or AI models, together with a suite of powerful applications, to reveal valuable insights from vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. Historically, we have derived a large portion of our Software Product & Services revenue from applications we internally developed from our aiWARE platform and actively sold across various customers. Beginning in mid-fiscal year 2022, and as a result of the recent pullback in the macroeconomic environment caused by inflation, high interest rates, and geopolitical factors including the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war, economic conditions negatively impacted parts of our consumption-based operations and financial results, which represented a significant amount of our revenue prior to fiscal 2024. As a result our Software Products & Services revenue decreased by 10.8% during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period due to lower consumption across our Commercial Enterprise customer base, including Amazon and certain one-time software revenue recognized in 2023 that did not recur at the same rate in 2024. This impact was partially offset by the addition of Broadbean in the second quarter of 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no customer represented more than 10% of our consolidated revenue as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, during which one customer represented 15% of our consolidated revenue.

Previous wording

As a result of the recent pullback in the macroeconomic environment caused by high inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical factors including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the war in Israel, some of our customers reduced consumption-based and advertising spending across our Commercial Enterprise customer base across parts of our Veritone Hire solutions and Managed Services, in the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared to the prior year. As of December 31, 2023, our total Software Products & Services customers declined to 3,460, which was a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the acquisition of Broadbean as if it occurred on January 1, 2022. The decrease in customers was largely driven by planned migration of legacy CareerBuilder customers off the Broadbean software platform, which did not have a significant impact on our financial results in 2023. While we anticipate these trends to continue in the first quarter of 2024, we expect the overall impact will not be significant to our financial results in 2024. To continue our effort to grow our customer base and overall revenue, we have been investing aggressively in existing customers and acquiring new customers. In addition, in January 2023, November 2023 and February 2024, we announced certain cost reduction and restructuring initiatives and through February 2024, we had executed over $34.0 million of net annualized strategic cost reductions. As a result of our efforts to diversify our customer base and increase sales within our existing customer base, as well as the June 2023 acquisition of Broadbean, we increased our sales and marketing spending in the near term as compared to the trailing twelve months; however, these increased investments were partially offset by our 2023 and 2024 cost-reduction initiatives.

Current wording

To align our operating structure with this corresponding revenue decline, we enacted significant cost reductions during fiscal years 2024 and 2023. In February 2024, we announced certain cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, the result of which was a reduction in our global workforce of approximately 13% during fiscal 2024. During 2023 and through December 31, 2024 our total reduction in workforce was 19%. Since the first quarter of 2023, we have been actively realigning and restructuring our organization, which, as of December 31, 2024, has resulted in over $40.0 million of net annualized strategic cost reductions since the beginning of fiscal 2023. As a result of our efforts to diversify our customer base and increase sales within our existing customer base, as well as the June 2023 acquisition of Broadbean, we also increased our sales and marketing spending in the near term as compared to the trailing twelve months; however, these increased investments were partially offset by our 2024 and 2023 cost-reduction initiatives.

We believe our Software Products & Services will extend the capabilities of many third-party software platforms and products that are widely used today. For example, we believe that, when integrated with aiWARE, our Veritone Hire solutions customers will be given greater visibility and transparency in their hiring processes. Further and with the recently announced iDEMs launch, we now offer a suite of aiWARE applications to address the growing issue of unstructured digital data management faced by public safety and federal government sectors today. In addition, we have historically integrated aiWARE across many platforms, including Alteryx, Snowflake and the NVIDIA® CUDA® GPU-based platform, enabling dramatic increases in aiWARE’s processing speed and providing a wide range of new use cases for our technology. We are in the process of developing and marketing more specific use cases for these and future integrations, which we believe will open up new markets for our products and accelerate our long-term revenue growth opportunities.

We believe our operating results and performance are, and will continue to be, driven by various factors that affect our industry. Our ability to attract, grow and retain customers for our aiWARE platform is highly sensitive to rapidly changing technology and is dependent on our ability to maintain the attractiveness of our platform, content and services to our customers. Our future revenue and operating growth will rely heavily on our ability to grow and retain our Software Products & Services customer base, continue to develop and deploy quality and innovative AI-driven applications and enterprise-level offerings, provide unique and attractive content and advertising services to our customers, continue to grow in newer markets such as Government & Regulated Industries, expand aiWARE into larger and more expansive enterprise engagements and manage our corporate overhead costs. While we believe we will be successful in these endeavors, we cannot guarantee that we will succeed in generating substantial long term operating growth and profitability.

Historically, we have pursued an opportunistic strategy of acquiring companies to help accelerate our organic growth. Our acquisition strategy has been threefold: (i) to increase the scale of our business in markets we are in today, (ii) to accelerate growth in new markets and product categories, including expanding our existing engineering and sales resources, and (iii) to accelerate the adoption of aiWARE as the universal AI operating system through venture or market-driven opportunities. While we believe there are strategic acquisition targets that can accelerate our entry into and expand our existing market share in key strategic markets, as well as our ability to grow our business, there is no certainty our historical or future acquisitions will achieve these objectives. Conversely, we have pursued and may continue to pursue opportunistic sales of certain business operations that are not strategic to us long-term, such as the divestiture of our energy group in the second quarter of 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our total revenues were $127.6 million as compared to $149.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 15%. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our total loss from operations was $92.3 million as compared to $38.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 143%. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our non-GAAP gross margin (calculated as described in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) declined to approximately 78% as compared to 82% for the year ended December 31, 2022, driven in large part by the mix of revenue as compared to 2022. Our non-GAAP gross margin is impacted significantly by the mix of our Software Products & Services and our Managed Services revenue in any given period because our Managed Services revenue typically has a lower overall non-GAAP gross margin than our Software Products & Services revenue. Our non-GAAP gross profit (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) is also dependent upon our ability to grow our revenue by expanding our customer base and increasing business with existing customers, and to manage our costs by negotiating favorable economic terms with cloud computing providers such as AWS and Microsoft Azure. While we are focused on continuing to improve our non-GAAP gross profit, our ability to attract and retain customers to grow our revenue will be highly dependent on our ability to implement and continually improve upon our technology and services and improve our technology infrastructure and operations as we experience increased network capacity constraints due to our growth.

Current wording

For the year ended December 31, 2024, our total revenues were $92.6 million as compared to $100.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 7.4%, driven by a decrease in revenue from one-time software sales and from consumption-based customers, including Amazon, partially offset by the addition of Broadbean in the second quarter of 2023. Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $61.7 million as compared to $70.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 12.3%, driven by the decrease in revenue and the increase in depreciation of internally developed software costs compared to the prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our non-GAAP gross profit (calculated as described in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) decreased to $65.4 million as compared to $72.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by the decrease in revenue and the increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue compared to the prior year period. Gross profit and non-GAAP gross profit (calculated as described in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) are also dependent upon our ability to grow our revenue by expanding our customer base and increasing business with existing customers, and to manage our costs by negotiating favorable economic terms with cloud computing providers such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.

To continue to grow our revenue, we will continue to make targeted investments in people, namely software engineers and sales personnel. For example, our net headcount grew approximately 8% since the beginning of 2023. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023 we made substantial investments in our existing employee base, including higher annual raises and increased benefits, in order to compete in a challenging and constrained labor environment. Lastly, we made investments in our corporate infrastructure, including new ERP and workforce systems to help us better manage the scale and growth of our business. However, considering the current challenging macro-economic environment in the first half of 2023, we have made and are continuing to make significant cost reductions to our operating structure to better streamline our business and prioritization around our growth and corresponding investments. These cost reduction initiatives began in the latter half of 2022 and will continue through the first half of 2024, and include reductions in workforce and certain legacy operating costs, as well as the divestiture of our energy group. As a result of these initiatives, we believe we will be able to accelerate our pathway toward long term profitability.

In the year ended December 31, 2022, substantially all of our revenue was derived from customers located in the United States. With the June 2023 acquisition of Broadbean, we expanded our customer base throughout Europe and Asia Pacific. In 2023, 13% of our consolidated revenue was from customers outside of the U.S., as compared to less than 10% in 2022. We believe that there is a substantial opportunity for us to continue expanding our service offerings and customer base in countries outside of the United States. In the long term, we plan to expand our business further internationally in places such as Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and as a result, we expect to continue to incur significant incremental upfront expenses associated with these expansion opportunities.

Global economic and business activities continue to face uncertainty as a result of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, lingering economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, labor shortages, inflation rates and the responses by central banking authorities to control inflation, monetary supply shifts, recession risks, disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the war in Israel. In particular, business operations at our Tel Aviv office location where we do development work on our Veritone Hire solutions products have been, and may continue to be, impacted by the war in Israel. A small portion of our Israel-based employees, and a number of their family members, have been conscripted into military service. The extent of the impact of these factors on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, and the impact on our customers, partners and employees, all of which have uncertainty and cannot be predicted. These global economic conditions and any continued or new disruptions caused by these conditions may negatively impact our business in a number of ways. For example, our Veritone Hire solutions are sold to businesses whose financial conditions fluctuate based on general economic and business conditions, particularly the overall demand for labor and the economic health of current and prospective employers.

To the extent that economic uncertainty or attenuated economic conditions cause our customers and potential customers to freeze or reduce their headcount, and reduce their advertising spending, demand for our products and services may be negatively affected. These adverse economic conditions could also result in reductions in sales of our applications, longer sales cycles, reductions in contract duration and value, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. In addition, economic recessions have historically resulted in overall reductions in spending on software and technology solutions as well as pressure from customers and potential customers for extended billing terms. If economic, political, or market conditions deteriorate, or if there is uncertainty around these conditions, our customers and potential customers may elect to decrease their software and technology solutions budgets by deferring or reconsidering product purchases, which would limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results. Any of these events would likely have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial position.

Current wording

The supplemental financial information for our Software Products & Services includes: (i) Total Software Products & Services Customers, (ii) Annual Recurring Revenue, (iii) Total New Bookings, and (iv) Gross Revenue Retention, in each case as defined in the footnotes to the table below.

Previous wording

We have experienced and may continue to experience volatility in revenue from our Managed Services due to a number of factors, including: (i) the timing of new large customer agreements; (ii) loss of customers who choose to replace our services with new providers or by bringing their advertising placement in-house; (iii) customers who experience reductions in their advertising budgets due to issues with their own businesses; and (iv) the seasonality of the campaigns for certain large customers. We have historically generated a significant portion of our revenue from a few major customers. As we continue to grow and diversify our customer base, we expect that our dependency on a limited number of large customers will be minimized.

Current wording

In the past, we have provided supplemental financial information for our Managed Services including average billings per active Managed Services client, and revenue. Because Managed Services will comprise a smaller portion of our business after the Divestiture, we no longer will provide this supplemental information. Prior to the Divestiture, we experienced volatility in revenue from our Managed Services due to a number of factors, including: (i) the timing of new large customer agreements; (ii) loss of customers who chose to replace our services with new providers or by bringing their advertising placement in-house; (iii) customers who experience reductions in their advertising budgets due to issues with their own businesses; and (iv) the seasonality of the campaigns for certain large customers. We historically generated a significant portion of our revenue from a few major customers. Since the Divestiture, revenue from our Managed Services has experienced volatility and we expect it will continue to do so.

(4) “Annual Recurring Revenue (SaaS)” represents an annualized calculation of monthly recurring revenue during the last month of the applicable quarter for all Total Software Products & Services customers, in each case on a Pro Forma basis. In prior periods, we provided “Average Annual Revenue,” which was calculated as the aggregate of trailing twelve-month Software Products & Services revenue divided by the average number of customers over the same period for both Veritone, Inc. and PandoLogic Ltd. Annual Recurring Revenue is not comparable to Average Annual Revenue (SaaS). Annual Recurring Revenue (SaaS) includes only subscription-based SaaS revenue, is not averaged among active customers and uses a calculation of recurring revenue as described above instead of annual revenue. Management uses “Annual Recurring Revenue (SaaS)” and we believe Annual Recurring Revenue (SaaS) is useful to investors because Broadbean significantly increases our mix of subscription-based SaaS revenues as compared to Consumption revenues and the split between the two allows the reader to delineate between predictable recurring SaaS revenues and more volatile Consumption revenues.

(7) “Gross Revenue Retention” represents a calculation of our dollar-based gross revenue retention rate as of the period end by starting with the revenue from Software Products & Services Customers as of the 3 months in the prior year quarter to such period, or Prior Year Quarter Revenue. We then deduct from the Prior Year Quarter Revenue any revenue from Software Products & Services Customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Ending Software Customer Revenue. We then divide the total Current Period Ending Software Customer Revenue by the total Prior Year Quarter Revenue to arrive at our dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of revenue from all Software Products & Services Customers from our Software Products & Services as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn. All numbers used to determine Gross Revenue Retention are calculated on a Pro Forma basis.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. 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 non-cash consideration received in barter transactions and evaluation of realizability, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants and income taxes, where applicable.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we experienced multiple adverse financial trends. As a result, we determined that an indicator of impairment was present and performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment as of September 30, 2023 using a market approach, which estimates fair value based on our market capitalization and an estimate of a reasonable range of values of a control premium. We determined that goodwill was not impaired, as the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, we performed a quantitative analysis of the recoverability of each of our asset groups. The result of the analyses was that the assets were not impaired, as the expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value for each asset group.

Current wording

We determined that goodwill was not impaired, as the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values.

The result of the analyses was that the assets were not impaired, as the expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value for each asset group.

Previous wording

We assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, if recovery is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on us generating sufficient taxable income in future years to obtain a benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and from net operating losses. Due to uncertainties related to the ability to utilize historical U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in future periods, we have recorded a valuation allowance against these net deferred tax assets in the amount of $88.4 million, as of December 31, 2023. These assets consist primarily of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and non-deductible stock-based compensation.

Current wording

We assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, if recovery is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Based on management’s assessment, we have recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $93.2 million, as of December 31, 2024.

Previous wording

Government & Regulated Industries Software Products & Services revenue increased $2.2 million, or 56%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior year due primarily to organic growth in software revenues from public safety and federal customers, offset slightly by the divestiture of our energy group in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022. In some cases, Government & Regulated Industries Software Products & Services revenue from customers in certain markets, particularly our government customers, can involve project-based and be impacted by the timing of such projects. As such, we expect that our revenue from these markets could fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Current wording

Public Sector Software Products & Services revenue decreased $0.4 million, or 5.9%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year primarily due to fluctuations in timing and magnitude of spend by public safety and federal customers.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.7 million, or 1% in 2023 compared with 2022, primarily due to increases in personnel-related costs from the addition of new sales and marketing resources, including the acquisition of Broadbean in June 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 41% in 2023 from 34% in 2022.

Current wording

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $4.7 million, or 10.6% in 2024 compared with 2023, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives announced in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by increased advertising expense and sales and marketing expense as a result of increased promotional expenses and the acquisition of Broadbean in June 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 43.0% in 2024 from 44.5% in 2023.

Previous wording

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $29.6 million, or 67% in 2023 compared to 2022, principally due to a non-cash benefit of $23.1 million recognized in the prior year associated with a change in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, coupled with the June 2023 Broadbean acquisition and an increase in professional fees largely associated with the acquisition. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 58% in 2023 from 30% in 2022.

Current wording

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 4.9% in 2024 compared to 2023 principally due to reductions in non-recurring professional fees largely associated with the June 2023 Broadbean acquisition and personnel-related costs resulting from various cost reduction initiatives, offset by an increase from one-time executive settlement expenses and higher stock-based compensation expense.

We have historically financed our business through the sale of equity and debt securities. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $79.4 million as of December 31, 2023, compared with total cash and cash equivalents of $184.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 as compared with December 31, 2022 was primarily due to our loss from operating activities of $92.3 million, the $37.5 million repurchase of a portion of our outstanding Convertible Notes in December 2023, investments and acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2023, including the net acquisition of $50.3 million for Broadbean in June 2023, taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, and the payments of certain legacy acquisition contingent consideration, offset by gross cash proceeds of $77.5 million received from our December 2023 senior secured Term Loan in the year ended December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, our total Software Products & Services customers declined to 3,237, which was a decrease of 6.4% as compared to 2023, largely driven by planned migration of legacy CareerBuilder customers off the Broadbean software platform, which did not have a significant impact on our financial results in 2023 and 2024. To continue our effort to grow our customer base and overall revenue, we have been investing aggressively in existing customers and acquiring new customers.
