Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations, and Divestiture | 3. Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations, and Divestiture Discontinued Operations and Divestiture of Veritone One On the Divestiture Closing Date, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Veritone One, to Oxford Buyer, LLC, an affiliate of Insignia Capital Group L.P., pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Veritone One and the Purchaser. Veritone One operated the Company’s full-service advertising agency business and its disposal represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on the Company’s operations and financial results, as it enabled the Company to focus on its core software and applications and reduce its dependency on advertising-related services. As a result, Veritone One met both the held for sale and discontinued operations presentation criteria and comprised operations and cash flows that could be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company. Since the Company operates as one reporting unit, the Company allocated goodwill to discontinued operations on a relative fair value basis in comparison to the value of the overall company (see Note 7). In connection with the Divestiture, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a transition services agreement. The transition services agreement outlines the information technology, people, and facility support the Company expects to provide to the Purchaser for a period of six months after the Divestiture Closing Date with options to be extended. The total service fee amount for each service will not exceed the actual costs to provide such service. The Divestiture was structured as a simultaneous “sign and close” transaction and closed on the Divestiture Closing Date. On the Divestiture Closing Date, the Company received cash proceeds of $59,053, which reflected the aggregate purchase price of $104,000 (the “Veritone One Sale Price”), less $18,000 subject to an earnout described below, $20,297 of purchase price adjustments, and $6,650 placed in escrow accounts described below. The Company may receive the earnout of either $18,000, $13,000, $8,000, $3,000, or $0 in cash proceeds based on the achievement of certain net revenue targets by Veritone One between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 (as further described in the Purchase Agreement, the "Earnout"). Of the amounts placed in escrow, $1,500 was placed in an escrow account for potential purchase price adjustments and an aggregate of $5,150 was placed in escrow accounts for the potential satisfaction of post-closing indemnification claims (the “Indemnity Escrow”), in each case subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties to the Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also includes indemnification provisions whereby the Company will indemnify the Purchaser and other related indemnified parties for losses arising out of, among other things, inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company or Veritone One. The Purchaser and the other related indemnified parties will be able to make post-closing indemnification claims against the Indemnity Escrow, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, under the Purchase Agreement, the Company is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed not to engage in certain competitive activities with respect to Veritone One’s business or solicit Veritone One employees or customers for a period of four years following the Divestiture. Veritone One’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are disclosed as discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The operating results of the Company's discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows (unaudited):

Sale of Veritone Energy Solutions Group On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Veritone Energy solutions group to GridBeyond Limited, an Ireland-based privately held company (“GridBeyond”) that delivers AI-powered energy solutions, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The Company received 4,160,644 shares of Series B Preference Shares in GridBeyond valued at approximately $2,021 as of June 30, 2023, as well as $549 in cash. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,572 in the second quarter of 2023. The group did not meet the criteria of discontinued operations because the disposal did not have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. In April 2024, the Company sold its interest in GridBeyond for $1,800 in cash, resulting in a loss on sale of $172 and a foreign exchange loss of $49, recorded in other income (expense), net during the second quarter of 2024.
