The gross amounts associated with software developed for internal use primarily represent capitalized costs of internally developed software. The amounts relating to acquired proprietary technology, customer relationships, trade names, domain names, and databases primarily represent the fair values of intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Fluent, LLC, effective December 8, 2015; the acquisition of Q Interactive, LLC, effective June 8, 2016; the acquisition of substantially all the assets of AdParlor Holdings, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, effective July 1, 2019; the acquisition of a 50% interest in Winopoly, LLC, effective April 1, 2020; and the initial consolidation of TAPP Influencers Corp. ("TAPP"), effective  January 9, 2023On May 20, 2025, the Company entered into an updated agreement with the key employee of TAPP, terminating all prior agreements. As a result, the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary, and under ASC 810, TAPP was no longer being consolidated under ASC 810.

 

 

The Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment for the three months ended  September 30, 2025 and determined that no triggering event had occurred requiring further impairment assessment of its long-lived assets.

 

Amortization expenses of $2,408 and $2,299 for the three months ended  September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $7,206 and $7,277 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are included in depreciation and amortization expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025, intangible assets with a carrying amount of $673, included in the gross amount of software developed for internal use, have not commenced amortization, as they are not ready for their intended use. Further, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $598 related to the write-off of the acquired proprietary technology in connection with TAPP (see Note 11, Variable interest entity). 

 

As of September 30, 2025, estimated amortization expenses related to the Company's intangible assets for the remainder of 2025 and through 2030 and thereafter are as follows:
