1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Digimarc, an Oregon corporation, is a pioneer and global leader in digital watermarking technologies. For nearly 30 years, Digimarc innovations and intellectual property in digital watermarking have been deployed in solutions built upon one or both of the following two things: the identification and the authentication of physical and digital items, often at massive scale, and often where other methods of identification or authentication don’t work well or don’t work at all.

The Digimarc Illuminate platform is a distinctive software as a service (“SaaS”) cloud-based platform for digital connectivity that provides the tools for the application of advanced digital watermarks and dynamic Quick Response (“QR”) codes, software (digital twins) that enables various systems and devices to interact with those data carriers, and a centralized platform for capturing insights about digital interactions and automating activities based on that information.

The Digimarc product suite is built on top of the Digimarc Illuminate platform to power a trusted and scalable ecosystem that can address specific business needs in areas like automation, authenticity, sustainability, and customer trust and connectivity. All of the Company’s products are complementary to each other, providing exponential benefits when combined. By enabling customers to create and connect digital twins to physical and digital items, Digimarc’s products provide many benefits including:

| • | Digimarc Automate improves product inspection by embedding imperceptible digital watermarks into products, labels, and packaging, which are detectable by standard vision systems. This significantly reduces mixing errors and mislabeling, ensuring higher accuracy and efficiency in production, fulfillment, and distribution facilities without additional costs for special inks or hardware. By enabling real-time data analysis and minimizing human error, Digimarc Automate enhances quality assurance, reduces waste, and lowers the risk of product recalls, giving brands a competitive edge.

| • | Digimarc Engage activates products and multimedia to create and leverage an interactive, fully owned communications channel directly with consumers. Digimarc delivers dynamic QR codes and hyperlinks that provide contextual redirection capabilities for multiple consumer experiences based on a variety of factors such as time and location or previous behavior. Connecting engagements across the physical and digital worlds in a singular view results in powerful new capabilities and insights for brands.

| • | Digimarc Recycle increases the quality and quantity of recycled materials by digitizing products and packaging with digital watermarking technology. Coupled with consumer engagement capabilities, brands can leverage a direct, digital communications channel. Plus, a cloud-based record of never-before-seen post-consumption data provides new insights that benefit stakeholders across the value chain, including brands, facility operators, and Producer Responsibility Organizations (“PROs”).

| • | Digimarc Retail Experience delivers smarter, connected packaging that supports next-generation retail checkout systems, including checkout efficiency (faster scanning) and checkout effectiveness (reduced shrinkage), optimized operational processes, advanced consumer engagement experiences, compliance with upcoming industry standards, and the collection of powerful first-party data and consumer insights.

| • | Digimarc Validate supports authentication in the physical and digital worlds to help ensure online interactions can be trusted and that real products and digital assets are genuine and in the right place. Digimarc’s technology protects digital images, audio, product packaging, and other physical items by delivering exclusive, covert digital watermarks and/or dynamic QR codes and a cloud-based record of product authentication information. In addition, consumer engagement capabilities provide a direct, digital communications channel.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records without audit and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly reflect the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim periods presented in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digimarc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The ASU requires interim and annual disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss, requires interim disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, requires disclosure of the position and title of the CODM, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contains other disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company starting in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, for annual periods and in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The ASU requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures primarily on the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company starting in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard on the Company’s disclosures.

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in “other income (loss), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of marketable securities sold.

The Company’s fair value hierarchy for its cash equivalents and marketable securities was as follows:

June 30, 2024 |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |
Money market securities |  | $ | 2,822 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2,822 |
Commercial Paper |  |  | — |  |  |  | 18,389 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 18,389 |
Federal agency notes |  |  | — |  |  |  | 12,904 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 12,904 |
U.S. Treasuries |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,433 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,433 |
Total |  | $ | 2,822 |  |  | $ | 36,726 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 39,548 |

December 31, 2023 |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |
Money market securities |  | $ | 1,515 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,515 |
Commercial Paper |  |  | — |  |  |  | 14,622 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 14,622 |
U.S. Treasuries |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,953 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,953 |
Federal agency notes |  |  | — |  |  |  | 998 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 998 |
Total |  | $ | 1,515 |  |  | $ | 21,573 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 23,088 |

The fair value maturities of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:

|  | Maturities by Period |
|  |  |  |  |  | Less than |  |  | 1-5 |  |  | 5-10 |  |  | More than |
|  | Total |  |  | 1 year |  |  | years |  |  | years |  |  | 10 years |
Cash equivalents and marketable securities |  | $ | 39,548 |  |  | $ | 39,548 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |

The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include commercial paper, federal agency notes, U.S. Treasuries, and money market securities totaling $28,685 and $17,362 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Cash equivalents are carried at either cost or fair value, depending on the type of security.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from software subscriptions and software development services. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each performance obligation as follows:

| • | Subscription revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from subscription fees for access to the Company’s SaaS platform and products and, to a lesser extent, licensing fees for software products. The majority of subscription contracts are recurring, paid in advance and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is typically one to three years.

| • | Service revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the performance of software development services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. The majority of software development contracts are structured as time and materials agreements. Revenue for services is generally recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided.

(UNAUDITED)

Customer arrangements may contain multiple performance obligations such as software subscriptions, software products, and professional services. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct. To determine the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract and the Company’s customary business practices. Some contracts may contain variable consideration. In those cases, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration based on the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. As part of this assessment, the Company will evaluate whether any of the variable consideration is constrained and if it is the Company will not include it in the transaction price. The consideration is allocated between distinct products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the standalone selling price based on reasonably available information, including market conditions, specific factors affecting the Company, and information about the customer. For distinct products and services, the Company typically recognizes the revenue associated with these performance obligations as they are delivered to the customer. Products and services that are not capable of being distinct are combined with other products or services until a distinct performance obligation is identified.

All revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major target market in the Company’s single reporting segment:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |

Total |  | $ | 10,379 |  |  | $ | 8,730 |  |  | $ | 20,317 |  |  | $ | 16,573 |

The Company has contract assets from contracts with customers that are classified as “trade accounts receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8 for more information about trade accounts receivable.

The Company has contract assets from capitalized contract acquisition costs that are classified as “other current assets” and “other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These contract acquisition costs are recognized in proportion to the revenue recognized from the contract they are associated with.

Total |  | $ | 81 |  |  | $ | 122 |

The Company has contract liabilities from contracts with customers that are classified as “deferred revenue” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of billings in advance for subscriptions and services for which the performance obligation has not been satisfied.

The following table provides information about contract liabilities:

|  | June 30, |  |  | December 31, |

5. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes expense charges for all stock-based awards to employees and directors. These awards include restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance restricted stock units.

Stock-based compensation expense related to internal labor is capitalized to software and patent costs based on direct labor hours charged to capitalized software and patent costs.

Determining Fair Value

Restricted Stock Awards

The fair value of restricted stock awards (“RSA”) that vest upon meeting a service condition is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three to four years for employee grants and one to three years for director grants.

DIGIMARC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(In thousands, except per share data)
(UNAUDITED)

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards that vest upon meeting a service condition is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three to four years for employee grants.

Performance Stock Units

The fair value of performance restricted stock unit (“PRSU”) awards that vest upon meeting a service condition and a performance condition, such as the Company exceeding a future annual recurring revenue target, is determined based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant, adjusted for probability of achievement of the performance criteria as of each reporting date (measurement date), and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years for employee grants. The probability of achievement is subject to judgment, and could change from period to period, impacting the amount of expense to be recognized.

The fair value of performance restricted stock units awards that vest upon meeting a service condition and a market condition, such as the Company exceeding shareholder returns as compared to an index of peer companies, is determined on the date of grant (measurement date) using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years for employee grants.

The following inputs are used in the Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate the fair value:

Stock Price. The stock price represents the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock based on historical prices over the most recent period commensurate with the term of the award.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate using current U.S. treasury yields for bonds with a maturity commensurate with the term of the award.

7. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” using the treasury stock method.

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing earnings to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares, as adjusted for the potentially dilutive effect of unvested RSUs and PRSUs. RSAs are included in shares outstanding on the date of grant.

The following table reconciles earnings (loss) per share:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |

8. Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the contractual or invoiced amount.

|  | June 30, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Trade accounts receivable, current |  | $ | 8,188 |  |  | $ | 5,947 |

Unpaid deferred revenue included in trade accounts receivable |  | $ | 2,507 |  |  | $ | 2,073 |

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivables are subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains an allowance for its doubtful accounts receivable to reflect any estimated credit losses. The allowance is established in accordance with the current expected credit loss model, which requires the estimation of expected credit losses over the contractual life of financial assets. The allowance is calculated using a forward-looking probability-weighted approach based on historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the allowance in “general and administrative” expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, up to the amount of revenue recognized to date for each account. Any incremental allowance is recorded as an offset to “deferred revenue” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Account receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success.

Unpaid Deferred Revenue

The unpaid deferred revenue that is included in trade accounts receivable is billed in accordance with the provisions of the contracts with the Company’s customers.

10. Goodwill

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit using a market approach, which takes into account the Company’s market capitalization plus an estimated control premium.

In connection with the Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, management concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill as the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value.

11. Intangibles

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Patent costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at the award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, but generally approximates seventeen years.

Overview

Digimarc, an Oregon corporation, is a pioneer and global leader in digital watermarking technologies. For nearly 30 years, Digimarc innovations and intellectual property in digital watermarking have been deployed in solutions built upon one or both of the following two things: the identification and the authentication of physical and digital items, often at massive scale, and often where other methods of identification or authentication don’t work well or don’t work at all.

The Digimarc Illuminate platform is a distinctive SaaS cloud-based platform for digital connectivity that provides the tools for the application of advanced digital watermarks and dynamic QR codes, software (digital twins) that enables various systems and devices to interact with those data carriers, and a centralized platform for capturing insights about digital interactions and automating activities based on that information.

The Digimarc product suite is built on top of the Digimarc Illuminate platform to power a trusted and scalable ecosystem that can address specific business needs in areas like automation, authenticity, sustainability, and customer trust and connectivity. All of the Company’s products are complementary to each other, providing exponential benefits when combined. By enabling customers to create and connect digital twins to physical and digital items, Digimarc’s products provide many benefits including:

| • | Digimarc Automate improves product inspection by embedding imperceptible digital watermarks into products, labels, and packaging, which are detectable by standard vision systems. This significantly reduces mixing errors and mislabeling, ensuring higher accuracy and efficiency in production, fulfillment, and distribution facilities without additional costs for special inks or hardware. By enabling real-time data analysis and minimizing human error, Digimarc Automate enhances quality assurance, reduces waste, and lowers the risk of product recalls, giving brands a competitive edge.

| • | Digimarc Engage activates products and multimedia to create and leverage an interactive, fully owned communications channel directly with consumers. Digimarc delivers dynamic QR codes and hyperlinks that provide contextual redirection capabilities for multiple consumer experiences based on a variety of factors such as time and location or previous behavior. Connecting engagements across the physical and digital worlds in a singular view results in powerful new capabilities and insights for brands.

| • | Digimarc Recycle increases the quality and quantity of recycled materials by digitizing products and packaging with digital watermarking technology. Coupled with consumer engagement capabilities, brands can leverage a direct, digital communications channel. Plus, a cloud-based record of never-before-seen post-consumption data provides new insights that benefit stakeholders across the value chain, including brands, facility operators, and Producer Responsibility Organizations (“PROs”).

| • | Digimarc Retail Experience delivers smarter, connected packaging that supports next-generation retail checkout systems, including checkout efficiency (faster scanning) and checkout effectiveness (reduced shrinkage), optimized operational processes, advanced consumer engagement experiences, compliance with upcoming industry standards, and the collection of powerful first-party data and consumer insights.

| • | Digimarc Validate supports authentication in the physical and digital worlds to help ensure online interactions can be trusted and that real products and digital assets are genuine and in the right place. Digimarc’s technology protects digital images, audio, product packaging, and other physical items by delivering exclusive, covert digital watermarks and/or dynamic QR codes and a cloud-based record of product authentication information. In addition, consumer engagement capabilities provide a direct, digital communications channel.

Digimarc has maintained a relationship with a consortium of central banks for nearly 30 years, providing trusted technology to help deter digital counterfeiting of currency. The relationship was the first commercially successful large-scale use of our technologies and protects billions of banknotes in circulation globally.

Our intellectual property contains many innovations in digital watermarking, content and object recognition, product authentication, and related fields. To protect our inventions, we have implemented an extensive intellectual property protection program that relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and nondisclosure agreements and other contracts. As a result, we believe we have one of the world’s most extensive patent portfolios in digital watermarking and related fields, with approximately 840 U.S. and foreign patents granted and applications pending as of June 30, 2024. The patents in our portfolio each have a life of approximately 20 years from the patent’s effective filing date.

Summary

Total revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, increased $1.6 million, to $10.4 million, compared to $8.7 million for the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue primarily reflects $1.7 million of higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts, partially offset by $0.1 million of lower service revenue.

Total revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, increased $3.7 million, to $20.3 million, compared to $16.6 million for the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue primarily reflects $3.6 million of higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts and $0.2 million of higher service revenue.

Total operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, increased $0.7 million, to $16.8 million, compared to $16.1 million for the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects $0.6 million of higher compensation costs and $0.4 million of higher consulting and contractor costs, partially offset by $0.3 million of lower lease impairment expense. The increase in compensation costs primarily reflects $0.4 million of lower labor costs allocated to cost of revenue due to lower billable labor hours incurred and $0.2 million from annual compensation adjustments, net of lower headcount.

Total operating expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, decreased $1.2 million, to $33.9 million, compared to $35.1 million for the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses primarily reflects $1.3 million of lower compensation costs and $0.3 million of lower lease impairment expense, partially offset by $0.4 million of higher consulting and contractor costs. The decrease in compensation costs primarily reflects $2.1 million of severance costs, which were incurred for organizational changes made in February 2023, partially offset by $0.9 million of higher compensation costs, including $0.5 million from annual compensation adjustments, net of lower headcount, and $0.4 million of lower labor costs allocated to cost of revenue due to lower billable labor hours incurred.

Subscription

Subscription revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from subscription fees for access to our SaaS platform and products and, to a lesser extent, licensing fees for our software products. The majority of subscription contracts are recurring, paid in advance and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is typically one to three years.

The $1.7 million increase in subscription revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts.

The $3.6 million increase in subscription revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts.

Service

Service revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the performance of software development services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. The majority of software development contracts are structured as time and materials agreements. Revenue for services is generally recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided. Service contracts can range from days to several years in length. Our contract with the Central Banks, which accounts for the majority of our service revenue, has a contract term through December 31, 2029. The contract is subject to work plans that are reviewed and agreed upon quarterly. The contract provides for predetermined billing rates, which are adjusted annually to account for cost of living variables, and provides for the reimbursement of third party costs incurred to support the work plans.

The $0.1 million decrease in service revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects $0.2 million of lower service revenue from commercial customers, partially offset by $0.1 million of higher government service revenue due to timing of program work with the Central Banks.

The $0.2 million increase in service revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects $0.4 million of higher government service revenue due to timing of program work with the Central Banks, partially offset by $0.2 million of lower service revenue from commercial customers.

The $1.5 million increase in commercial revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects $1.7 million of higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts, partially offset by $0.2 million of lower service revenue from commercial customers.

The $3.4 million increase in commercial revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects $3.6 million of higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts, partially offset by $0.2 million of lower service revenue from commercial customers.

Government

The $0.1 million increase in government revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects $0.1 million of higher government service revenue due to timing of program work with the Central Banks.

Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)

ARR |  | $ | 23,923 |  |  | $ | 16,669 |  |  | $ | 7,254 |  |  |  | 44 | %

ARR increased $7.3 million, or 44% from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the entry into new commercial subscription contracts and increased subscription fees on existing commercial contracts.

We provide an ARR performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources has increased in recent years. ARR is calculated as the aggregation of annualized subscription fees from all of our commercial contracts as of the measurement date. ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.

The increase in other income, net for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects higher interest income.

The decrease in other income, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflects lower refundable tax credits and foreign currency gains, partially offset by higher interest income.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects current taxes and deferred taxes. The effective tax rate for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 0%. Our effective tax rate is significantly lower than our statutory tax rate because we have a valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024, was $100.3 million, an increase of $5.1 million from $95.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

We continually assess the applicability of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Based upon the positive and negative evidence available as of June 30, 2024, and largely due to the cumulative loss incurred by us over the last several years, which is considered a significant piece of negative evidence when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is recorded against our deferred tax assets. We will not record tax benefits on any future losses until it is determined that those tax benefits will be realized. Future reversals of the valuation allowance would result in a tax benefit in the period recognized.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts that are not normally excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses and relies on Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per share (diluted), which are all non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

25

Table of Contents

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management recognizes that the non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.

We define Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per share (diluted) excluding the adjustments in the table below. These non-GAAP financial measures are an important measure of our operating performance because they allow management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing non-cash and non-recurring activities that can affect comparability.

We have included a reconciliation of our financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the most comparable non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between us and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per share (diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Non-GAAP gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $1.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase primarily reflects higher subscription revenue.

Non-GAAP gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $3.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase primarily reflects higher subscription revenue.

Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased to 80% compared to 74% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase primarily reflects higher subscription revenue combined with a favorable mix of subscription revenue.

Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased to 79% compared to 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase primarily reflects higher subscription revenue combined with a favorable mix of subscription revenue.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $1.1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase primarily reflects $0.8 million of increased compensation costs and $0.4 million of increased consulting and contractor costs. The increase in compensation costs primarily reflects $0.4 million from annual cash compensation adjustments, net of lower headcount, and $0.4 million of lower labor costs allocated to cost of revenue due to lower billable labor hours incurred.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $0.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease primarily reflects $1.0 million of decreased compensation costs, partially offset by increased consulting and contractor costs of $0.4 million. The decrease in compensation costs primarily reflects $1.5 million of cash severance costs, which were incurred for organizational changes made in February 2023, partially offset by $0.4 million of lower labor costs allocated to cost of revenue due to lower billable labor hours incurred.

(1) | The current ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities.

The $14.3 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2024, from December 31, 2023, resulted primarily from:

| • | net proceeds from the issuance of common stock; partially offset by

| • | cash used in operations;

| • | purchases of common stock related to tax withholding in connection with the vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance stock units; and

| • | purchases of property and equipment and capitalized patent costs.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with major banks and financial institutions and at times deposits may exceed insured limits. Marketable securities include commercial paper, U.S. treasuries, federal agency notes, and money market securities. Our investment policy requires our portfolio to be invested to ensure that the greater of $3.0 million or 7% of the invested funds will be available within 30 days’ notice.

Other than cash used for operating needs, which may include short-term marketable securities, our investment policy limits our credit exposure to any one financial institution or type of financial instrument by limiting the maximum of 5% of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities or $1.0 million, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one issuer except for the U.S. government, U.S. federal agencies and U.S.-backed securities, which have no limits, at the time of purchase. Our investment policy also limits our credit exposure by limiting to a maximum of 40% of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, or $15.0 million, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one industry category (e.g., financial, energy, etc.) at the time of purchase. As a result, we believe our credit risk associated with cash and investments to be minimal.

A decline in the market value of any security that is deemed to be other-than-temporary is charged to earnings. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments identified or recorded by us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Cash flows from operating activities

The components of cash flows used in operating activities were:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Dollar |  |  | Percent |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | Increase/(Decrease) |  |  | Increase/(Decrease) |
Net loss |  | $ | (19,608 | ) |  | $ | (24,663 | ) |  | $ | (5,055 | ) |  |  | (20 | )%
Non-cash items |  |  | 9,037 |  |  |  | 9,801 |  |  |  | 764 |  |  |  | 8 | %
Changes in operating assets and liabilities |  |  | (4,681 | ) |  |  | (1,628 | ) |  |  | 3,053 |  |  |  | 188 | %
Net cash used in operating activities |  | $ | (15,252 | ) |  | $ | (16,490 | ) |  | $ | (1,238 | ) |  |  | (8 | )%

Cash flows used in operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.2 million, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of a $5.1 million lower net loss, partially offset by $3.1 million from unfavorable timing of changes in operating assets and liabilities, and $0.8 million of lower non-cash items included in net loss. The changes in operating assets and liabilities are largely due to changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances. The change in non-cash items primarily reflects lower depreciation and write-off of property and equipment costs.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash flows from investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $16.5 million. The decrease primarily reflects lower net proceeds from maturities of marketable securities and higher purchases of marketable securities.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2023, increased by $31.2 million. The increase primarily reflects the $32.2 million of net cash proceeds raised from our registered direct stock offering in February 2024.

Future Cash Expectations

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances will satisfy our projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Registered Direct Offering

On February 24, 2024, we entered into purchase agreements with certain investors providing for the issuance and sale by us of 929 thousand shares of our common stock in a registered direct stock offering. The common shares were offered at a price of $35.00 per share, and the gross cash proceeds to us were $32.5 million. We incurred $0.3 million of legal costs related to the offering. The closing of the registered direct offering occurred on February 27, 2024.

Shelf Registration

On June 23, 2023, we filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that included $34.6 million of unsold securities from our prior shelf registration statement filed on June 5, 2020. The new shelf registration statement became effective on July 19, 2023, and expires on July 19, 2026. Under the new shelf registration statement, we may sell securities in one or more offerings up to $100.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, $67.5 million remained available under the new shelf registration statement.

We may sell shares under the shelf registration and/or use similar or other financing means to raise working capital in the future, if necessary, to support continued investment in our growth initiatives. We may also raise capital in the future to fund acquisitions and/or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. If it becomes necessary to obtain additional financing, we may not be able to do so, or if these funds are available, they may not be available on satisfactory terms.

Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors and that there may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made by us or by persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject from time to time to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. At this time, we do not believe that the resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by a number of factors. Detailed information about risk factors that may affect Digimarc’s actual results are set forth in Part I, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” of our 2023 Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties described in our 2023 Annual Report are those risks of which we are aware and that we consider to be material to our business. If any of those risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.
