Our future growth depends on our ability to enhance and improve our offerings and platform to increase adoption and usage across our customer base, while also supporting ongoing customer acquisition. We believe many advertisers are in the early stages of moving a greater percentage of their advertising budgets to programmatic channels. By providing solutions for the planning, buying and measuring of their media spend across most channels, we believe we are well-positioned to capture more of our customers’ programmatic budgets.

For instance, we continue to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning in our platform to help our customers improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. We believe ViantAI will support continued market share gains and contribute to the expansion of our total addressable market. Further, we intend to continue to grow our sales and marketing efforts to increase awareness of our DSP and highlight the advantages of our exclusive data, consisting of three primary pillars of proprietary insight into content, identity and now attention with our recent acquisition of TVision.

As such, we project our anticipated cash requirements as well as cash flows generated from operating activities to meet those needs. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from revenues derived from the programmatic purchase of advertising on our platform and the undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements over the next 12 months from the date of this report. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations beyond the next 12 months through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and other sources of liquidity, which could include the undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings. Our ability to fund longer-term operating needs will depend on our ability to generate positive cash flows through programmatic advertising purchases on our platform, our ability to access the capital markets and other factors, including those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.
