Current report
The development and use of AI in our business, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, or results of operations.
Current report
We are increasingly building AI into certain of our offerings. We use AI technologies in connection with the development of our advertising and monetization solutions, and other product offerings, as well as in other aspects of our business. These technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and the development of AI technologies can require significant investment. Expanding our AI capabilities subjects us to many of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Risk Factors section, including risks relating to rapid technological change, the highly technical nature of software, and competition.
Current report
Market acceptance of AI technologies is uncertain, and we may allocate resources toward technologies or products that do not align with customer needs or achieve market acceptance, or are rapidly rendered obsolete. We may be unsuccessful in product development efforts, or our competitors may use AI technologies more efficiently than we do and develop solutions that reduce the competitiveness of our product offerings. We may also incur significant costs and may not achieve any significant revenue from these new offerings. The performance or suitability of third-party models could change in ways that negatively affect the customer experience, and our reliance on third-party models may also limit our ability to differentiate our offerings or control cost and performance characteristics. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. In addition, our AI platform-based advertising and monetization solutions may fail to deliver the expected targeted precision, revenue-per-device lift, or advertiser return on investment that we or are customers expect, including due to algorithmic and model behaviors, underlying data changes, and speed in execution. Also, generative- and agentic-driven recommendations and capabilities in both the supply-side platform (“SSP”) and DSP space are early stage, and product fit, user trust and monetization of such recommendations and capabilities are still uncertain. Any such expectation or performance failures or lack of or delayed market acceptance may negatively impact customer adoption or renewal of our advertising and monetization solutions, which could have a detrimental impact on our operations and financial performance.
Current report
Additionally, the introduction of AI technologies into new or existing products or other offerings may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, confidentiality, privacy, data protection, or security risks, social or ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, generative AI and interactive chatbots are subject to existing laws of various states and countries such as those regarding privacy, data security, and consumer protection, and the evolving regulatory landscape and our product development efforts may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. Global AI regulatory frameworks remain highly uncertain, rapidly changing, and inconsistent across jurisdictions, and frequently have extraterritorial reach, and, as a result, may apply to our AI offerings regardless of where they are developed or deployed. For example, the European Union (“EU”) AI Act sets out a risk-based framework, subjecting certain AI technologies to numerous compliance obligations, including transparency, conformity and risk assessment, monitoring, and human oversight requirements. Certain provisions of the EU AI Act could require us to alter or restrict our use of AI both in features or products available to our users and in our systems that interact with our users. In addition, certain U.S. states have proposed, enacted, or are considering laws governing the development and use of AI technologies, such as the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, California Bot Disclosure Law, the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") regulations on automated decision-making technology. Failure to anticipate or comply with evolving AI regulatory obligations could adversely affect our ability to develop and deliver AI-enabled offerings, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or negatively impact our business, reputation, or financial results.
Current report
The impact of AI technology on intellectual property ownership and licensing rights, including copyright, has not been fully addressed by U.S. courts or other federal or state laws or regulations, and the use of third-party AI technologies in connection with our products and services may result in exposure to claims of copyright infringement or other intellectual property misappropriation. Governments are increasingly scrutinizing generative AI technologies for potential intellectual property and content-related harms, and any regulatory enforcement or litigation in this area could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. AI technologies may create content that is, or is perceived to be, deficient, inaccurate, biased, offensive, unethical, or otherwise flawed. Our customers or others may rely on or use this content to their detriment, which may expose us to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, and/or legal liability. In addition, AI and ML models may create flawed, incomplete, or inaccurate outputs, some of which may appear correct. This may happen if the inputs that the model relied on were inaccurate, incomplete, or flawed (including if a bad actor "poisons" the AI/ML with bad inputs or logic), or if the logic of the AI/ML is flawed (a so-called "hallucination"). We may use AI/ML outputs to make certain decisions. Due to these potential inaccuracies or flaws, the model could lead us to make decisions that could bias certain individuals or classes of individuals and adversely impact their rights. Our AI-enabled technology could be used by an end user in a manner publicly perceived as controversial. The foregoing can cause us to face adverse consequences, including reputational harm, competitive harm, customer loss, or legal liability. As these requirements continue to emerge or change, we may be required to modify, restrict, or disable certain AI features; implement new technical, governance and other controls; or incur significant compliance and operational costs.
Current report
We depend on our third-party AI partners for core data and infrastructure and the resulting provision of our AI-based advertising and monetization solutions in the SSP and DSP spaces. Any changes by such third parties in pricing, terms, product and service availability, performance or roadmap could disrupt our operations, could cause us to seek other third-party providers, or otherwise have a detrimental impact on our financial performance as a result of an inability to offer or deliver our customers a particular product or service or of less-favorable contractual terms with the existing or new third party providers.
Current report
As our advertising solutions grow and evolve, including through the use of and integration of AI technologies, and are used in a greater number of countries and on a larger scale, we may also become subject to new laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions or jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws and regulations. The regulation of AI technologies is a relatively new and evolving area of law which we may become subject to as we continue to explore the use of AI technologies in our current and future products. For example, in the EU, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act imposes a regulatory framework for the companies’ development and use of AI systems, and numerous state laws in the U.S. have been proposed, and in certain cases enacted, regulating aspects of the development and use of AI systems. Beyond the EU and U.S., many other countries have proposed AI-related legal frameworks. There is a risk that existing or future laws may be interpreted in a manner that is not consistent with our current practices and which could adversely affect our business.
Current report
Additionally, certain privacy and data security laws extend rights to consumers and regulate automated decision making in ways that may be incompatible with our use of AI/ML. These obligations may make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI/ML, lead to litigation or regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our business practices, retrain our AI/ML, delete our models, or prevent or limit our use of AI/ML. For example, the Federal Trade Commission has required other companies to delete algorithms and models derived from or trained on allegedly unlawfully collected data, where it has alleged the company has violated privacy or consumer protection laws.
Current report
On August 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company refinanced its existing senior credit facility. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders made loans and other extensions to the Company under certain term loan credit facilities on the terms and conditions as set forth therein.
Current report
The Financing Agreement (i) has a four-year term from the Closing Date and (ii) provides for three separate tranches of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $430,000 (the “Loans”), all of which were borrowed in full by the Company on the Closing Date. The outstanding principal amount of the Loans is subject to scheduled repayment as follows: (i) on the last day of each fiscal quarter following the first anniversary of the Financing Agreement through the maturity of the term loans, the Company will repay the outstanding principal amount of term loans in an amount equal to $2,344 in the aggregate across the remaining two tranches and (ii) on the maturity date, the Company will pay the remaining aggregate outstanding principal amount, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including proceeds raised from equity issuances and, beginning in fiscal year 2027, 50% of any excess cash flows. Additionally, the Company is also required to pay certain exit fees and duration fees if two tranches of term loans are not repaid by certain dates. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, one of such term loan tranches was repaid in full.
Current report
The Loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
Current report
On April 20, 2026, the Company entered into to the First Amendment to the Financing Agreement to amend the liquidity covenant to reduce the liquidity requirement for the period between April 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026 from $20,000 to $15,000 and reduced the amount and timing of certain exit and duration fees.
Current report
The Financing Agreement, the amount of indebtedness thereunder, the terms of the tranches and related mandatory prepayment provisions, and the Company’s desire to refinance certain tranches could have significant negative consequences including:
Current report
If the Company is unable to refinance certain loan tranches under the Financing Agreement by certain dates, the Company may be required to pay additional exit and duration fees on one of such tranches, which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
The Company recorded a goodwill impairment in the amount of $336,640 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. In the event that we identify another impairment of our goodwill, we would be required to record a non-cash charge, which may be significant, in our financial statements during the period the impairment is identified and this charge, if significant, would negatively affect our results of operations.

Previous report
As of March 31, 2025, we had $411,000 drawn against the revolving line of credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash of approximately $39,393 and restricted cash of approximately $691.
Previous report
The Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on June 13, 2025 to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from April 29, 2026 to August 29, 2026, revise certain covenants and address certain other matters. The Fifth Amendment removed the incremental term loan facility, reduced the amount of the Revolver from $425,000 to $411,000, increased the SOFR and letter of credit fee to 5.5%, and the base rate to 4.5% through August 29, 2025 with increases to 7.5% and 6.5%, respectively, after August 29, 2025, removed the consolidated interest coverage ratio, put in place a decreasing consolidated secured net leverage ratio starting at 5.25 and decreasing to 4.00 on and after June 30, 2026 and an increasing fix charge coverage ratio starting at 1.10 increasing to 1.30 on and after June 30, 2026, requires mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from equity issuances and certain other extraordinary receipts, and added certain covenants, including additional monthly reporting obligations, quarterly projections, biweekly 13-week cash flow forecast reporting, and access rights. The Company granted the lenders a security interest in additional assets, including the issued and outstanding equity of certain foreign subsidiaries, including Digital Turbine (EMEA) LTD., Fyber B.V. and Digital Turbine (IL) Ltd. The Company is required to pay an amendment fee equal to $8,220 at closing, $10,275 on September 2, 2025 and $1,027 due and payable at the end of each fiscal quarter (beginning on the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2025) until the earlier of maturity and the date the facility is repaid in full. In addition, the Company is required to pay an additional administrative collateral monitoring fee of $2,000 if certain closing deliveries with respect to the additional collateral are not satisfied within the timeframe set forth in the Fifth Amendment.
Previous report
With the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as of June 13, 2025 the revolving commitment has been fully drawn, and the accordion feature was removed. The reduction in available funds could have significant negative consequences including:
Previous report
If the Company is unable refinance the existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement before August 29, 2025, the Company’s indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement would be reclassified as short-term debt, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and stock price. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives and our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business, our stock price and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording
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.
Current wording
In October 2024, the Company began a transformation program intended to improve current and future operating expenses, cash flows, and personnel costs. Additionally, the initiatives intended to simplify and streamline business operations, including product optimization, procurement and cost optimization, and team restructuring. As part of the transformation program, we implemented a two-phased reduction in our workforce, one in November 2024 and the other in January 2025. The transformation program included several other initiatives and was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Previous wording
The charges and expenditures that we expect to incur in connection with the transformation program and reduction in force, and timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and we may incur costs that are greater than we currently expect in connection with the transformation program and reduction in force. The transformation program and reduction in force may yield unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, employee attrition beyond our intended reductions in force, a reduction in morale among our remaining employees, greater-than-anticipated costs incurred in connection with implementing the transformation program and reduction in force and the risk that we may not achieve the benefits from the transformation program and reduction in force to the extent or as quickly as we anticipate, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. These restructuring initiatives could place substantial demands on our management and employees, which could lead to the diversion of our management’s and employees’ attention from other business priorities. In addition, while we eliminated certain positions in connection with the transformation program and reduction in force, certain functions necessary to our reduced operations remain, and we may be unsuccessful in distributing the duties and obligations of departed employees among our remaining employees or to external service providers, which could result in disruptions to our operations. We may also discover that the workforce reductions and other restructuring efforts will make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives and require us to hire qualified replacement personnel, which may require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs and expenses. We may further discover that, despite the implementation of our transformation program and reduction in force, we may require additional capital to continue expanding our business, and we may be unable to obtain such capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to successfully accomplish any of the above activities and goals may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
The transformation program and reduction in force may yield unintended consequences and costs, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, a negative effect on employee morale and productivity or our ability to attract highly skilled employees. We may further discover that, despite the savings realized from our transformation program and reduction in force, we may require additional capital to continue expanding our business, and we may be unable to obtain such capital on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure to realize the expected benefits of the completed transformation program due to the emergence of unintended consequences could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Previous wording
Our transformation program is intended to improve 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 a two phased reduction in our workforce, one in November 2024 and the other in January 2025. The transformation program includes several other initiatives that are underway, and the Company expects the transformation program to be substantially completed by the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. If our transformation program does not improve operating expenses, cash flows, and personnel costs as expected or there are other unexpected operating cost increases, we may continue to incur operating net losses. If our revenue does not increase sufficiently to offset our operating expenses, we will incur losses and may not be able to achieve profitability in the future. If there are delays in the distribution of our products or if we are unable to successfully negotiate with advertisers, application developers, carriers, mobile operators, or OEMs, or if these negotiations cannot occur on a timely basis, we may not be able to generate revenue sufficient to meet the needs of the business.

Previous wording
Our revenue and operating results could vary significantly from period-to-period because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including the seasonal nature of advertiser spending. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. In addition, we are not able to accurately predict our future revenue or results of operations. We base our current and future expense levels on our internal operating plans and sales forecasts, and our operating costs are to a large extent fixed. As a result, we may not be able to reduce our costs sufficiently to compensate for an unexpected shortfall in revenue, and even a small shortfall in revenue could disproportionately and adversely affect financial results for that quarter. Additionally, individual products and services, and carrier and OEM relationships, represent meaningful portions of our revenue and margins in any quarter, and the loss of one or more could cause a shortfall in revenue that could adversely affect financial results for that quarter.

Malicious software like ransomware, viruses, and social engineering tactics such as phishing attacks are increasingly common in advertising and mobile app environments. Any successful or attempted security breaches could result in system disruptions, degrade user experiences, and impair our internal operations. Moreover, these incidents could damage our reputation, financial stability, and overall business performance. Despite our efforts to safeguard data and respond to threats, challenges like software bugs, human errors, cyberattacks, or physical breaches may undermine our defenses. Consequently, clients and users may lose confidence in our products, leading to reputational harm and market setbacks.
Current wording
Malicious software like computer malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), software bugs and vulnerabilities, malicious code, viruses and worms, social engineering (including through deep fakes, which are increasingly more difficult to identify as fake, spear phishing and ransomware attacks), denial-of-service attacks, credential stuffing attacks, credential harvesting attacks, personnel misconduct or error, supply chain attacks, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures, attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI and other similar threats are increasingly common in advertising and mobile app environments. Any successful or attempted security breaches could result in system disruptions, degrade user experiences, and impair our internal operations. Moreover, these incidents could damage our reputation, financial stability, and overall business performance. Despite our efforts to safeguard data and respond to threats, challenges such as those listed above may undermine our defenses. Additionally, our remote workforce poses increased risks to our IT assets and data. Consequently, clients and users may lose confidence in our products, leading to reputational harm and market setbacks. Further, we utilize AI technologies in our advertising solutions and in our business operations and may expand such use in the future. See also the risk factor titled “The development and use of AI in our business, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations” for additional AI-related cybersecurity risks.

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the United States and internationally concerning cybersecurity and data protection. Some of these laws allow individuals to take legal action against us. Many regions have imposed obligations regarding breach notifications, and our agreements with specific customers or partners may require us to inform them or fulfill other duties in case of a security breach. Individuals affected by breaches or governmental bodies may pursue legal or regulatory measures against us for actual or perceived breaches or unauthorized access or disclosure of data.

Our business depends on the overall demand for advertising and on the economic health of advertisers that benefit from our platform. Our operating results also may be affected by uncertain or changing economic conditions such as the challenges that are currently affecting economic conditions in the U.S. and the global economy, including the conflict in India and Pakistan, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, the impact of U.S. - China relations, inflation, changes in interest rates, recessionary fears, global supply constraints, the impact of global instability, and domestic and foreign tariffs and other trade protectionist measures. Such current or future global market uncertainties or downturns and associated macroeconomic conditions may disrupt the operations of our clients and partners and cause advertisers to decrease or pause their advertising budgets, which could reduce spend though our platform and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Recent events, including the U.S. presidential election, have resulted in substantial regulatory uncertainty regarding international trade and trade policy. For example, President Trump and members of the U.S. Congress have called for substantial changes to tax policies, including the possible implementation of a border tax. The Trump administration has also raised the possibility of other initiatives that may affect importation of goods including renegotiation of trade agreements with other countries and the introduction of new or increased import duties or tariffs with respect to products from a number of different countries. The U.S. has imposed or proposed the imposition of new tariffs on products imported into the U.S. from a number of countries, including China, Mexico, Canada and other countries and could propose additional tariffs or increases to those already in place. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the U.S. or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations or that of our clients, partners and advertisers. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States or other key markets, remain uncertain or persist, spread, or deteriorate further, we may experience material impacts on our business, operating results, and financial condition in a number of ways including negatively affecting our profitability and causing our stock price to decline.

The impact of these tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and its trading partners in response, other possible tariffs or trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, new or different customs duties, trade embargoes and sanctions and other trade barriers may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may also negatively impact customer demand for our services, delay renewals or limit expansion opportunities with existing customers, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the enforceability, timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the U.S. or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations or that of our clients, partners and advertisers. Ongoing tariff and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in the price of our common stock.

Our products, services, and systems rely on software, including software developed or maintained internally and/or by third parties, including through the use of AI, which is highly technical and complex. In addition, our products, services, and systems depend on the ability of such software to transfer, store, retrieve, process, and manage large amounts of data. The software on which we rely has contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors or other design defects within the software on which we rely may result in a negative experience for customers and marketers who use our products, delay product introductions or enhancements, result in measurement or billing errors, or compromise our ability to protect the data of our users and/or our intellectual property. Any errors, bugs, vulnerabilities, or defects discovered in the software on which we rely could result in damage to our reputation, loss of users, loss of revenue, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract, and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, financial, marketing, and creative talent. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous technology, marketing, and mobile entertainment companies. Further, we conduct international operations in North America, Germany, Israel, India, South America, Singapore, and Turkey, areas that, similarly to our headquarters’ region, have high costs of living and consequently high compensation standards and/or intense demand for qualified individuals, which may require us to incur significant costs to attract and retain them. We may be unable to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing creative, operational, and managerial requirements, or may be required to pay increased compensation in order to do so.

Volatility or lack of performance in our stock price may also affect our ability to attract and retain our key employees. Some of our senior management and other key employees have become, or will soon become, vested and/or under water in a substantial amount of stock or stock options. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their options have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original purchase prices of the shares or the exercise prices of the options, or if the exercise prices of the options they hold are significantly above the market price of our common stock. If we are unable to retain our employees, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed.

We believe a critical contributor to our success has been our company culture, which we rely on to foster innovation, creativity, a customer-centric focus, passion, teamwork, collaboration and loyalty. We have invested substantial time and resources in building our team within this company culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to ensure employees effectively focus on and pursue our company objectives. As we continue to evolve our business, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture, which could limit our ability to innovate and operate effectively. The effects of our transformation program and planned reduction in workforce could make it more difficult to preserve our company culture and could negatively impact employee morale.

We may also incur substantial costs in making acquisitions. We may pay substantial amounts of cash or incur debt to pay for acquisitions, which could adversely affect our liquidity. The incurrence of indebtedness would also result in increased fixed obligations and interest expense, and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. Additionally, we may issue equity securities to pay for acquisitions or to retain the employees of the acquired company, which could increase our expenses, adversely affect our financial results, and result in dilution to our stockholders. In addition, acquisitions may result in our recording of substantial goodwill and amortizable intangible assets on our balance sheet upon closing, which could adversely affect our future financial results and financial condition. These factors related to acquisitions may require significant management attention, disrupt our business, result in dilution to our stockholders, and adversely affect our financial results and financial condition.

•Our primary competition for media distribution comes from the Google Play application store. Broadly, our media distribution platform faces competition from existing operator solutions built internally, as well as companies providing application and content media products and services, such as: Facebook, Snapchat, Unity (ironSource), WPP, Omnicom, Criteo, QuinStreet, InMobi, Cheetah Mobile, Baidu, Tremor International, Magnite, Brightcove, AppLovin, and others. These companies can be customers for Digital Turbine products, but also competitors in certain cases. Our more material competition is internally developed operator solutions and specific media distribution solutions built in-house by OEMs and wireless carriers. Some of our existing wireless carriers could make a strategic decision to develop their own solutions rather than continue to use our suite of products, which could be a material source of competition.

Competitors could also seek to gain market share from us by reducing the prices they charge to advertisers or publishers or by introducing new technology tools for advertisers or developers. Moreover, increased competition for mobile advertising space from developers could result in an increase in the portion of advertiser revenue that we must pay to developers to acquire that advertising space. Our business will suffer to the extent that our developers and advertisers purchase and sell mobile advertising directly from each other or through other companies that are able to become intermediaries between developers and advertisers. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for us to sell our services and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses, or the loss of market share.

Our business will suffer to the extent that our developers and advertisers purchase and sell mobile advertising directly from each other or through other companies that are able to become intermediaries between developers and advertisers. We are facing growing competition as a result of rapid technological change, such as the rise of AI and ML, increasing use of data and trained models, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, as well as changing customer needs, requirements, and preferences. AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and we face significant competition from other companies implementing AI and ML tools. The evolving regulatory landscape and our product development efforts may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. For example, the use of datasets to develop and be referenced by AI models, the content generated by AI systems, or the application of AI systems may be found to be insufficient, offensive, biased, harmful, or violate current or future laws and regulations or third-party rights. In addition, AI and ML models may create flawed, incomplete, or inaccurate outputs, some of which may appear correct. If our technology is used by an end user in a controversial manner due to their perceived or actual impact on society, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for us to sell our services and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses, or the loss of market share.

Claims have been threatened and have been brought against us in the past for breaches of contract, copyright or trademark infringement, data privacy regulatory violations, tort, or other theories based on the provision of these products and services. In addition, we have been and may again in the future be subject to domestic or international actions alleging that certain content we have generated or third-party content that we have made available within our services violates laws in domestic and international jurisdictions. We may be subject to claims concerning these products, services, or content by virtue of our involvement in marketing, branding, broadcasting, or providing access to them, even if we do not ourselves host, operate, provide, own, or license these products, services, or content. While we routinely insert indemnification provisions into our contracts with these parties, such indemnities to us, when obtainable, may not cover all damages and losses suffered by us and our customers from covered products and services. In addition, recorded reserves and/or insurance coverage may be exceeded by unexpected results from such claims. Defending such actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of our management and other resources, may result in monetary liabilities or penalties, and may require us to change our business in an adverse manner.

Israel has been and is currently involved in armed conflicts with multiple parties and remains the target of terrorist and military activity, including from Iranian-backed forces. The region has experienced periods of significant escalation, including direct hostilities between Israel and Iran, rocket and missile attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon and militia forces in Syria, and other security threats. At this time, it is unknown whether hostilities in these regions will escalate into an even larger conflict.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine that has resulted in an ongoing military conflict between the two countries (the “Russia-Ukraine Conflict”). The Russia-Ukraine Conflict has caused, and is currently expected to continue to cause, political, economic, and social instability, significant disruptions to the regional and the global economy, financial system, international trade, and the transportation and energy sectors, among others. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict has displaced millions of people, causing an acute refugee crisis in Europe, and has increased the threat of nuclear accidents or attacks, cyberattacks, and further regional or global conflicts (including a potential expansion of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict to other countries as well as other unrelated potential conflicts), among other potentially dire consequences. In response to Russia’s actions, multiple countries and governing bodies, including the U.S. and the European Union, have put in place global sanctions and other severe restrictions or prohibitions on the activities of certain individuals and businesses connected to Russia and/or Belarus. Companies have also implemented restrictions that severely limit, and in some cases, reverse or cancel, business transactions in or involving certain individuals and/or businesses connected to or associated with Russia and/or Belarus. Further, some companies have moved to divest of Russia-based subsidiaries and assets. In addition, the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict on the supply chain and commodity prices are expected to be profound and may result in substantial inflation in one or more countries (or globally). The ultimate impact of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict and its effect on the geopolitical environment and global economic and commercial activity and conditions, and on our operations, financial condition, and performance, and the duration and severity of those effects, is impossible to predict.

Adverse changes in economic and political policies relating to China could have an adverse effect on our business. Recent tariff increases and an escalation of recent trade tensions between the U.S. and China has resulted in trade restrictions that harm our ability to participate in Chinese markets. For example, recently, the U.S. has significantly increased tariffs on products imported into the U.S. from a number of countries, including China. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the U.S. or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations, or that of our advertisers. Further, U.S. export control regulations relating to China have created restrictions with respect to the sale of certain products to Chinese companies and further changes to regulations could result in additional restrictions. Sustained uncertainty about, or worsening of, current global economic conditions and further escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, especially China, could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade, including retaliatory trade restrictions that further restrict our ability to operate in China. Governmental agencies in any of the countries in which we, our customers or end users are located, such as China, could block access to or require a license for our platform, our website, mobile applications, operating system platforms, application stores or the Internet generally for a number of reasons, including security, confidentiality or regulatory concerns. If companies or governmental entities block, limit or otherwise restrict customers from accessing our platform, or end users from playing games developed or operated on our platform, our business could be harmed. Further, some countries may block data transfers as a result of businesses collecting data within a country’s borders as part of broader privacy-related concerns, which could affect our business. For example, companies and governmental agencies could block the distribution of several applications of Chinese origin. Because we rely on wireless carriers and OEMs to distribute our product and services, if wireless carriers and mobile device manufacturers restrict certain Chinese apps from being downloaded onto their platforms this could negatively impact our business and our financial condition and results of operations would suffer.

Most jurisdictions in which we or our customers operate have enacted or are in the process of enacting privacy, data governance, and data security laws and regulations. In this regard, it is important to highlight the European Union’s GDPR and the UK GDPR that regulate the processing of personal data in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) member states and in the UK. Both impose a strict data protection compliance regime. We are subject to the supervision of local data protection and data governance authorities in those EEA and UK jurisdictions where we are established or otherwise subject to the GDPR and the UK GDPR. Fines for certain breaches of the GDPR are significant. In addition to the foregoing, a breach of the GDPR could result in regulatory investigations, reputational damage, orders to cease or change our processing of personal data, enforcement notices, or assessment notices for a compulsory audit. We may also face civil claims including representative actions and other class action type litigation, potentially amounting to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm. This private right of action may increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with data breach litigation. In addition to increasing our compliance costs and potential liability, the California Consumer privacy Act (“CCPA”) created restrictions on “sales” of personal information that may restrict the disclosure of personal information for advertising purposes. Our advertising business relies, in part, on such disclosure and could be materially and adversely affected by the CCPA’s restrictions.

Children’s online privacy has been a focus of recent enforcement activity under longstanding privacy laws as well as privacy and data protection laws enacted in recent years worldwide. With increased enforcement of children’s online privacy in the EU and the UK, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general have also, in recent years, increased enforcement of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and other U.S. State laws that restrict the processing of children’s personal information without a parental consent. Recent and evolving age verification and online safety laws enacted in certain U.S. states and other jurisdictions may require additional compliance measures and technical changes, which could increase operating costs, affect user onboarding and engagement, or limit certain product features or business initiatives in some jurisdictions.

We are also subject to Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act, or “DSA”), effective as of November 2022 and was fully implemented on February 17, 2024, which is a comprehensive piece of legislation for consumer protection. The DSA focuses on content governance and moderation and applies to various online services. The DSA addresses several critical aspects related to online services, including providing a consistent framework for digital services offered in the EU, preventing illegal and harmful online activities, and protecting service recipients’ fundamental rights.

Apart from the requirements of privacy, data governance, and data security laws, we have obligations relating to privacy, data governance and data security under our published policies, contracts, and applicable industry standards. Although we endeavor to comply with these obligations, we may have failed to do so in the past and may be subject to allegations that we have failed to do so or have otherwise processed data improperly. We could be subject to enforcement action or litigation alleging that our methods of data collection or our other data processing practices violate our published policies, federal or state laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive business practices or other privacy laws.

Although we endeavor to comply with these obligations, we may have failed to do so in the past and may be subject to allegations that we have failed to do so or have otherwise processed data improperly. Additionally, our or our customers’ sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees’, personnel’s, or vendors’ use of generative AI technologies. Any such information that we input into a third-party generative AI or ML platform could be revealed to others, including if information is used to train the third party’s AI/ML models. Additionally, where an AI and/or ML model ingests personal information and makes connections using such data, those technologies may reveal other sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information generated by the model. As a result, we could face adverse consequences, including exposure to reputational and competitive harm, customer loss, and legal liability. We could be subject to enforcement action or litigation alleging that our methods of data collection or our other data processing practices violate our published policies, federal or state laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive business practices or other privacy laws.
Previous wording
We are subject to anti-bribery and similar laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the USA PATRIOT Act, U.S. Travel Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and possibly other anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct business. Anti-corruption laws have been enforced with great rigor in recent years and are interpreted broadly. Such laws prohibit companies and their employees and their agents from making or offering improper payments or other benefits to government officials and others in the private sector. We have operations, deal with carriers, and make sales in countries known to experience corruption, particularly certain emerging countries in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Further international expansion may involve more of these countries. Our activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. As we increase our international sales and business, particularly in countries with a low score on the Corruption Perceptions Index, of Transparency International, and increase our use of third parties such as sales agents, distributors, resellers or consultants, our risks under these laws will increase. We adopt appropriate policies and procedures and conduct training, but cannot guarantee that improprieties will not occur. Noncompliance with these laws could subject us to investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension and/or debarment from contracting with specified persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. Any investigations, actions and/or sanctions could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for U.S. federal purposes of $122,645, which may be available to offset taxable income in the future. Of these NOLs, $44,812 is subject to expiration through the year 2037 depending on the year the loss was incurred. The remaining $77,833 may be carried forward indefinitely, but are subject to an annual usage limitation of 80% of federal taxable income in any such year as enacted by The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act amendment of Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for NOLs generated in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (as defined under Section 382 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOL carryforwards and certain other tax attributes to offset post-change taxable income or taxes. We may experience future ownership changes that could affect our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards to offset our income.

Changes in government regulation of the media and wireless communications industries may adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers. We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation.

The governments of some countries have sought to regulate the methods and manner in which certain of our products and services may be marketed to potential end-users. Regulation aimed at prohibiting, limiting, or restricting various forms of advertising and promotion we use to market our products and services could also increase our cost of operations or preclude the ability to offer our products and services altogether.

Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or initiate proceedings to invalidate our intellectual property, either of which, if successful, could prevent or limit our use of the intellectual property and disrupt the conduct of our business, cause us to pay significant damage awards or require us to pay licensing fees. In the event of a successful claim against us, we might be enjoined from using such intellectual property, we might incur significant licensing fees, and we might be forced to develop alternative technologies. Our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or software or to license the infringed or similar technology or software on a timely basis could force us to withdraw products and services from the market or prevent us from introducing new products and services. In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology or software, license fees could be substantial and the terms of these licenses could be burdensome, which might adversely affect our operating results. We might also incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party infringement claims, regardless of their merit. Successful infringement or licensing claims against us might result in substantial monetary liabilities and might materially disrupt the conduct of our business.

Our platform contains software modules by third-party authors that are publicly available under “open-source” licenses, and we expect to use open-source software in the future. While the use and distribution of open-source software is common in the industry, it may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. To the extent our platform depends on the successful operation of open-source software, any undetected errors or defects in such open-source software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our platform, delay introductions of new solutions, result in a failure of any of our solutions, and injure our reputation. While our developed software undergoes testing, undetected errors or defects in open-source software could render it vulnerable to breaches or security attacks and make our systems more vulnerable to data breaches. The public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform.

At this time, it is unknown whether hostilities in these regions will escalate into an even larger conflict. We have a significant business presence in Israel, and therefore, continuation or escalation of the conflict could cause significant adverse financial impacts, due to reductions in demand and/or interruptions in business operations.
