Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates the financial results and reports non-controlling interests representing the economic interests held by other equity holders of subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company. The calculation of non-controlling interests excludes any net income (loss) attributable directly to the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company acquired the remaining minority interest shareholders’ outstanding shares in one of its subsidiaries during the three months ended June 30, 2023, for $3,751. As a result, the Company owned 100% of all its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods indicated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include revenue recognition, including the determination of gross versus net revenue reporting, allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, fair value of contingent earn-out considerations, incremental borrowing rates for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and tax valuation allowances. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates using different assumptions or under different conditions.
Management considered the potential impacts of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty due to global events such as the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, inflation, disruptions in supply chains, recessionary concerns impacting the markets in which the Company operates, and others, on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as a result of such factors. Management’s estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Note 3—Acquisitions
Acquisition of One Store International
On November 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of all outstanding ownership and voting interests of One Store International Holding B.V. (“One Store International”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with One Store Co. LTD (“One Store”) andtwo additional selling parties. The acquisition of One Store International is part of the Company’s strategy to help deliver One Store’s app to the European market and expand the Company’s broader alternative app market business. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.
On October 30, 2024, the Company signed an additional agreement with One Store, the App Store Platform Commercial Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”), which supersedes the Company’s original agreement with One Store, dated February 5, 2024, which contemplated a future potential joint venture with One Store. The Commercial Agreement allows the Company to take ownership of a license to (1) use the One Store app ("OSP") within the European, Latin American, and US markets (the "Territories"), (2) market, advertise, merchandise, distribute, and sell the OSP through the Company's distribution channels, (3) market the One Store brand within the Territories, and (4) reproduce, use and distribute One Store's intellectual property. In return, upon launch of the business in the Territories, the Company will pay One Store a monthly platform fee of approximately 3% of the gross merchandising value the first 18 months of the term and approximately 5% thereafter.
The Purchase Agreement required total cash consideration of $1,903, to be paid in 18 equal monthly installments starting on the date the Company begins providing service in the United States. On the acquisition date, the Company recorded the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Purchase Agreement, which resulted in the recognition of: (1) total assets of $26, (2) total liabilities of $114, and (3) goodwill of $1,991. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of One Store International were $207. The negotiated purchase price was primarily driven by One Store International’s history of OSP distribution and the part it will play in helping the Company to meet its future obligations under the Commercial Agreement.
Separate operating results and pro forma results of operations for One Store International have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results.
Note 4—Fair Value Measurements
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values
Occasionally, the Company may purchase certain non-marketable equity securities for strategic reasons. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company didnot make any such investments. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased non-marketable equity securities for a total of $19,094.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $27,594, and are included in “Other non-current assets” in the accompanied consolidated balance sheet. These equity securities without readily determinable fair values represent the Company’s strategic investments in alternative app stores.
As the non-marketable equity securities are investments in a privately held company without a readily determinable fair value, the Company elected the measurement alternative to account for these investments. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the non-marketable equity securities is adjusted based on price changes from observable transactions of identical or similar securities of the same issuer or for impairment. Any changes in carrying value are recorded within other income (loss), net in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, Level 1 equity securities recorded at fair value totaled $392 and $501, respectively, and are classified as other non-current assets. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, there wereno Level 2 or Level 3 equity securities recorded at fair value.
Note 5—Segment Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The Company reports its results of operations through the followingtwo segments, each of which represents an operating and reportable segment, as follows:
On Device Solutions (“ODS”) - This segment generates revenue from the delivery of mobile application media or content to end users with solutions for all participants in the mobile application ecosystem that want to connect with end users and consumers who hold the device. This includes mobile carriers and device OEMs that participate in the app economy, app publishers and developers, and brands and advertising agencies. This segment's product offerings are enabled through relationships with mobile device carriers and OEMs.
App Growth Platform (“AGP”) - AGP customers are primarily advertisers and publishers, and the segment provides platforms that allow mobile app publishers and developers to monetize their monthly active users via display, native, and video advertising. The AGP platforms allow demand side platforms, advertisers, agencies, and publishers to buy and sell digital ad impressions, primarily through programmatic, real-time bidding auctions and, in some cases, through direct-bought/sold advertiser budgets. The segment also provides brand and performance advertising products to advertisers and agencies.
The Company’s CODM evaluates segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions primarily based on segment net revenue and segment profit, as shown in the segment information summary table below. The Company’s CODM does not allocate other direct costs of revenue, operating expenses, interest and other income (expense), net, or provision for income taxes to these segments for the purpose of evaluating segment performance. Additionally, the Company does not allocate assets to segments for internal reporting purposes as the CODM does not manage the Company’s segments by such metrics.

| Goodwill as of December 31, 2024 | $80,176 | $140,904 | $221,080 |
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of events or circumstances that indicate they would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, no occurrence of event or circumstance indicated they would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As such, no impairment of goodwill was recognized during the period.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of sustained decline in the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, increase in interest rates, and the Company’s forecasted operating trends, the Company identified interim indicators of impairment related to the goodwill assigned to the AGP reporting unit. The Company completed an interim impairment assessment of its goodwill, and as a result of this review, recorded a $147,181 non-deductible, non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the AGP reporting unit as of September 30, 2023.
The Company subsequently performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of March 31, 2024, noting continued trends in quoted market price, interest rates, and the Company’s forecast.

There wasno impairment of goodwill for the ODS reporting unit during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets have been assigned an estimated finite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the number of years that approximate their respective useful lives. The Company evaluates intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of events or circumstances that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In determining whether an impairment exists, the Company considers factors such as changes in the use of the asset, changes in the legal or business environment, and current or historical operating or cash flow losses. Based on the analysis performed, no impairment was identified during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 or the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

| Allowance for credit losses | (9,128) | (9,706) |
| Accounts receivable, net | $199,511 | $191,015 |
Billed accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue recognized but billed after period-end. All unbilled receivables as of December 31, 2024 are expected to be billed and collected (subject to the allowance for credit losses) within twelve months.
The Company considers various factors, including credit risk associated with customers. To the extent any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due, however account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains reserves for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
The Company considers a receivable past due when a customer has not paid by the contractually specified payment due date. Account balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible (customer default), based on factors such as customer credit assessments as well as the length of time the amounts are past due.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables were as follows:
| Three months ended December 31, | Nine months ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |

On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BoA”), which provided for a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) of up to $100,000 with an accordion feature enabling the Company to increase the total amount up to $200,000.
On April 29, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with BoA, as a lender and administrative agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $400,000. The revolving line of credit matures on April 29, 2026, and contains an accordion feature enabling the Company to increase the total amount of the Revolver by $75,000 plus an amount that would enable the Company to remain in compliance with its consolidated secured net leverage ratio, on such terms as agreed to by the parties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was subsequently amended as follows:
First Amendment: Increase in the Revolver to $525,000 while retaining the $75,000 accordion feature discussed above, for a total potential revolving line of credit of $600,000 on December 29, 2021.
Second Amendment: LIBOR was replaced with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). As a result, borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement where the applicable rate was LIBOR will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR plus between 1.50% and 2.25% beginning on the effective date of the Second Amendment, which was October 26, 2022.
Third Amendment: On February 5, 2024, the maximum consolidated secured net leverage covenant and the minimum consolidated net interest coverage covenant were amended. In addition, it increased the limit of permitted, other investments, including equity investments and joint ventures from $20,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year of the Company to $75,000 and increased the annual interest rate to SOFR plus between 1.50% and 2.75%, based on the Company’s consolidated secured net leverage ratio.
Fourth Amendment: On August 6, 2024, the maximum consolidated secured net leverage covenant and the minimum consolidated net interest coverage covenant were amended. Additionally, the Revolver was reduced by $100,000 to $425,000 (while retaining the $75,000 accordion feature), and the annual interest rate for the highest leverage ratio results was increased to SOFR plus between 1.00% and 3.75%, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Fourth Amendment also provided for payment against the outstanding Revolver balance to the extent the Company holds cash in excess of $40,000, and reduced the permitted investments threshold limit from $70,000 to $25,000.
Other than the changes described above regarding the covenants in the Fourth Amendment, the amendments discussed made no other changes to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which contains customary covenants, representations, and events of default and also requires the Company to comply with a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $6,564 for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, inclusive of costs incurred for the First, Second, Third and Fourth Amendments. Deferred debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt on the consolidated balance sheets. All deferred debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the loan to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $411,000 drawn against the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, classified as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets, with remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $2,846.
As of December 31, 2024, amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s election, (i) SOFR plus between 1.50% and 3.75%, based on the Company’s consolidated secured net leverage ratio, or (ii) a base rate based upon the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) BoA’s prime rate, or (c) SOFR plus 1.00% plus between 0.50% and 2.75%, based on the Company’s consolidated secured leverage ratio. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is subject to an unused line of credit fee between 0.15% and 0.35% per annum, based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate was 8.25% and the unused line of credit fee was 0.35%.
The Company’s payment and performance obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and related loan documents are secured by its grant of a security interest in substantially all of its personal property assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, subject to certain exclusions. If the Company acquires any real property assets with a fair market value in excess of $5,000, it is required to grant a security interest in such real property as well. All such security interests are required to be first priority security interests, subject to certain permitted liens.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $14,000 available to draw on the revolving line of credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, excluding the accordion feature, subject to the required covenants. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates its carrying value.

Note 12—Stock-Based Compensation
2020 Equity Incentive Plan of Digital Turbine, Inc. (the “2020 Plan”)
On September 15, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Plan, pursuant to which the Company may grant equity incentive awards to directors, employees and other eligible participants. The 2020 Plan became effective on September 15, 2020, and has a term often years. A total of 12,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for grant under the 2020 Plan. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2020 Plan include incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. Stock options may be either incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options.
On August 27, 2024, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2020 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 8,560,000 shares, from 12,000,000 shares to 20,560,000 shares and to make certain other changes. As of December 31, 2024,7,148,958 shares of common stock were available for issuance as future awards under the 2020 Plan.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted with an exercise price no lower than the fair market value at the grant date. They typically encompass a vesting period oftwo tothree years and a contractual term often years. Share-based compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period, determined by the grant-date fair value for the portion of the award expected to vest. The Company employs the Black-Scholes options-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options. The Company may issue either new shares or treasury shares upon exercise of these awards.
The following table summarizes stock option activity:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Exercise Price(per share) | Weighted-Average RemainingContractualLife(in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value(in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Options outstanding as of March 31, 2024 | 5,797,869 | $13.26 | 5.39 | $2,423 |
| Granted | 1,625,000 | 1.99 | ||
| Exercised | (19,849) | 1.33 | ||
| Forfeited / Expired | (637,304) | 21.97 | ||
| Options outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 6,765,716 | $9.73 | 5.82 | $817 |
| Exercisable as of December 31, 2024 | 4,810,602 | $11.21 | 4.50 | $817 |
At December 31, 2024, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, was $6,889, with an expected remaining weighted-average recognition period of 1.67 years.
Restricted Stock
Awards of restricted stock units may be either grants of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that are issued at no cost to the recipient. The stock-based compensation expense for these awards is determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. No capital transaction occurs until the units vest, at which time they are converted to restricted or unrestricted stock. Compensation expense for RSUs with a time condition is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company periodically grants PSUs to certain key employees that are subject to the achievement of specified internal performance metrics over a specified performance period. The terms and conditions of the PSUs generally allow for vesting of the awards ranging between forfeiture and up to 200% of target. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs with a performance condition are recognized on a straight-line basis based on the most likely attainment scenario over the performance period. The most likely attainment scenario is re-evaluated each period.
Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are awards of common stock that are legally issued and outstanding. RSAs are subject to time-based restrictions on transfer and unvested portions are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases providing services to the Company prior to the lapse of the restrictions. The stock-based compensation expense for these awards is determined using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The RSAs have time conditions and in some cases, once the stock vests, the individual is restricted from selling the shares of stock for a certain defined period, from three months toone year, depending on the terms of the RSA.
The following table summarizes RSU, PSU, and RSA activity:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of March 31, 2024 | 3,919,842 | $12.44 |
| Granted | 5,931,026 | 2.35 |
| Vested | (2,828,495) | 6.87 |
| Forfeited | (853,482) | 6.11 |
| Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 6,168,891 | $5.82 |
At December 31, 2024, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, PSUs and RSAs, net of estimated forfeitures was $24,103, with an expected remaining weighted-average recognition period of 1.48 years.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, was$8,250 and$25,417, respectively, and was recorded within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, was $7,987 and $27,020, respectively, and was recorded within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Note 13—Earnings per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the applicable methods. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three months ended December 31, | Nine months ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net loss per common share | $(23,131) | $(14,061) | $(73,273) | $(183,942) |
| Less: net loss attributable to non-controlling interest | — | — | — | (220) |
| Net loss attributable to Digital Turbine, Inc. | $(23,131) | $(14,061) | $(73,273) | $(183,722) |
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic | 104,148 | 101,376 | 103,201 | 100,643 |
| Basic net (loss) income per common share attributable to Digital Turbine, Inc. | $(0.22) | $(0.14) | $(0.71) | $(1.83) |
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted | 104,148 | 101,376 | 103,201 | 100,643 |
| Diluted net (loss) income per common share attributable to Digital Turbine, Inc. | $(0.22) | $(0.14) | $(0.71) | $(1.83) |
Potentially dilutive outstanding securities of 8,340,265 and 8,309,117 for thethree and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and 2,082,662 and 3,157,800 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 14—Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax earnings (“effective tax rate”) is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. In accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, jurisdictions forecasting losses that are not benefited due to valuation allowances are not included in our forecasted effective tax rate.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, a tax provision expense of $2,412 and $5,562, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of (11.6)% and (8.2)%, respectively. Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relate to foreign income expense and a valuation allowance on loss from operations.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, a tax benefit of $2,845 and $5,097, respectively, resulted in an effective tax rate of 16.8% and 2.7%, respectively. Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relate to the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, tax limitations on deductions for compensation, state tax benefits and foreign rate differences.
Note 15—Transformation Program Activities
In October 2024, the Company began a transformation program intended to improve various measures across the organization. These measures include but are not limited to current and future operating expenses, cash flows, and personnel costs. Additionally, the initiatives intend to simplify and streamline business operations, including product optimization, procurement and cost optimization, and team restructuring.
As part of the transformation program, we implemented atwo-phased reduction in our workforce, one in November 2024 and the other in January 2025. The transformation program includes a number of other initiatives that are underway, and the Company expects the transformation program to be substantially completed by the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred expenses of $2,887, related to our transformation program, $2,220 of which related specifically to severance costs. These aggregate pre-tax charges are primarily cash-based and consist of severance and other one-time termination benefits. The following table summarizes the severance costs related to the Company’s transformation program for the three months ended December 31, 2024:
| Three months ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| Liability, beginning of the period | $— |
| Charges | 2,220 |
| Cash payments | (1,316) |
| Liability, end of the period | $904 |
The liability for transformation program charges related to workforce reductions is included in accrued compensation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The severance charges reflected in the table above was recorded in operating expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies
Hosting Agreements
The Company enters into hosting agreements with service providers and in some cases, those agreements include minimum commitments that require the Company to purchase a minimum amount of service over a specified time period (“the minimum commitment period”). The minimum commitment period is generallyone-year in duration and the hosting agreements include multiple minimum commitment periods. Our minimum purchase commitments under these hosting agreements total approximately $244,388 over the nextsix fiscal years.
Legal Matters
The Company may be involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues a liability when it is both probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period such determination is made. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable, or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made.
On June 6, 2022 and July 21, 2022, stockholders of the Company filed class action complaints against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers in the Western District of Texas related to Digital Turbine, Inc.’s announcement in May 2022 that it would restate some of its financial results.
