2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP, as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 include Veritone, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The Company determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Note 3 on Discontinued Operations for further details.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months through May 2026. Based on the Company’s liquidity position as of March 31, 2025 and the Company’s current forecast of operating results and cash flows, absent any other action, management determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, principally driven by the Company’s current debt service obligations, historical negative cash flows and recurring losses. As a result, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next twelve months.

In the near term, and to meet its obligations as they come due, the Company is evaluating additional strategies to obtain funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, debt and/or further restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease operating expenses, which include capturing past cost reductions and potential future cost synergies from the Company’s past acquisitions.

The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, including having sufficient liquidity in the future to meet, among other things, the Company’s covenants under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 4, Debt). The Company may not be able to access additional equity under acceptable terms, and may not be successful in future operational restructurings, earning any of its deferred purchase consideration, meeting its minimum liquidity threshold under its Credit Agreement or growing its revenue base, and its ability to execute on its operating plans may be materially adversely impacted. If the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to dispose of other or additional assets and might realize significantly less value than the values at which they are carried on its condensed consolidated financial statements. These actions may cause the Company’s stockholders to lose all or part of their investment in the Company’s common stock. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company being unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the accounting recognition and presentation of revenue, allowance for credit losses, purchase accounting, impairment of long-lived assets, the valuation of contingent consideration, including future escrow and earnout consideration on the divestiture of Veritone One, the valuation of senior secured debt, the valuation of non-cash consideration received in barter transactions, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants, and income taxes, where applicable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets due to a number of factors, including the wars in Ukraine and Israel, the global inflationary environment and elevated interest rates and the imposition of tariffs, trade tensions, and global trade disputes. The war in Israel has also adversely impacted the Company’s business operations because the Company has an office and personnel based in Herzliya, Israel. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2024 did not have a material financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company has added increased disclosures within the Segment Reporting section of Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring: (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by: (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with Regulation S-X, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods that is generally not presented in the financial statements today. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Customers

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, in each case, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in each case, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices under the Company’s contracts allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $32,649, approximately 60% of which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter to be recognized over the next five years. This aggregate amount excludes amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts that have an original duration of one year or less and variable consideration that is allocated to remaining performance obligations. Excluded based on this policy are balances related to Veritone Hire solutions representing gross purchase orders to be satisfied in less than one year. Revenues will be recognized net of costs to fulfill these orders.

Segment Information

The Company operates as one reportable segment. The Company reports segment information based on the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources using consolidated net loss as reported within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM also uses loss from operations to assess the performance of the segment to allocate resources, including but not limited to, employees, property, financial and capital, primarily the annual budget and periodic forecasting process. The CODM considers variances to budget or forecast on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis in making these decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segment. The Company, through its single reportable segment, is managed on a consolidated basis.

Significant segment expenses, which represent the difference between revenue and loss from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, consist of the following:

Seasonality

The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its revenue and operating performance as a result of the utilization of its platform and associated revenues from its Software Products & Services. In particular, certain Commercial Enterprise solutions, including Veritone Hire revenues, have historically been higher in the second half of each fiscal year, consistent with the hiring and spending cycles of the Company’s larger customers. The Company also experiences seasonality as a result of factors such as the timing of large projects, the length and complexity of sales cycles, trends impacting the Company’s target vertical markets and the Company’s revenue recognition policies and any changes to those policies. Within a given quarter, a higher proportion of the Company’s agreements are signed toward the end of such quarter. Although these seasonal factors are common in the technology industry, historical patterns should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future sales activity or performance.

Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined that Veritone One (as defined above in Note 1) met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Note 3 on Discontinued Operations for further details.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
