SUMMARY OF THE RISK FACTORS
Innovid’s business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled Item 1A. Risk Factors below, that represent challenges that Innovid faces in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and the growth of our business. In particular, the following considerations, among others, may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our business strategy, which could cause a decline in the price of shares of our common stock or warrants and result in a loss of all or a portion of your investment:
• Innovid has a history of net losses in the previous years, and it anticipates increasing operating expenses in the future, and it may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability;
• Decrease and/or changes in CTV audience viewership behavior may adversely affect Innovid’s business and growth potential;
• If Innovid fails to make the right investment decisions, or if it fails to innovate and develop new solutions that are adopted by advertisers, it may not attract advertisers, which could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations and financial condition;

• Innovid’s estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth and projections of future financial performance may prove to be inaccurate;
• Innovid’s sales and marketing efforts may require significant investments and, in certain cases, involve long sales cycles, and may not yield the results Innovid seeks;
• If Innovid does not manage its growth effectively, the quality of its platform and solutions may suffer, and its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected;

• Innovid’s revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the overall demand for advertising;
• Innovid’s business depends on a limited number of advertising agencies and advertisers;
• If the use of digital advertising is rejected by consumers, through opt-in, opt-out or ad-blocking technologies or other means, it could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition;
• If the ability to collect, use, and disclose data is limited by consumer tools, regulatory restrictions or technology limitations, certain advertising offerings could be impacted and Innovid’s business may be adversely affected;
• Market pressure may reduce Innovid’s revenue per impression;
• Innovid must scale its platform infrastructure to support anticipated growth and transaction volume and it may fail to do so;
• If advertisers, publishers and data providers do not obtain necessary and requisite consents from consumers for Innovid to process their personal data, Innovid could be subject to fines and liability;
• Innovid faces intense and increasing competition for employee talent, and if it does not retain and continue to attract highly skilled talent or retain its senior management team and other key employees, it may not be able to sustain its growth or achieve its business objectives;
• Seasonal fluctuations in advertising activity could have a negative impact on Innovid’s revenue, cash flow and operating results;
• Innovid is subject to payment-related risks, and if its ability to accurately and timely collect payments is impaired, it’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected;
• Any interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data center hosting facilities, cloud computing platform providers and other hardware and software vendors, or disruptions from Innovid’s inability to adequately plan for and manage service failures or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery of Innovid’s services and harm its business;
• Innovid’s software platform could be susceptible to errors, defects, or unintended performance problems that could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition;
4

• If CTV, mobile devices or their operating systems and Internet browsers develop in ways that prevent advertisements from being delivered to consumers, Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition generally, could be adversely affected;
• The market in which Innovid participates is intensely competitive, and Innovid may not be able to compete successfully with its current or future competitors;
• Innovid relies on advertisers and publishers to abide by contractual requirements and relevant laws, rules, and regulations when using its platform. Legal claims or enforcement actions resulting from their actions could expose Innovid to liabilities, damage its reputation, and be costly to defend. In addition, in certain instances Innovid’s campaigns are dependent upon the performance of third-parties hired by its clients. Any failure of such parties to meet expected performance benchmarks could have a negative impact on the success of Innovid’s services;
• Innovid’s platform relies on third-party open source software components, any failure to comply with the terms of underlying open source software licenses could negatively impact Innovid’s business;
• Innovid relies on integrations with demand- and supply-side advertising platforms, ad servers and social platform over which we exercise very limited control. A decrease in demand for advertising and public criticism of digital advertising technology in the US and internationally, could adversely affect the demand for and use of Innovid’s solutions;
• Innovid’s international operations and expansion expose it to several risks. In particular, conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against it, could materially and adversely affect Innovid’s business.
• Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could materially affect Innovid’s effective tax rates, financial position and results of operations;
• Innovid experiences fluctuations in its results of operations due to a number of factors, which make Innovid’s future results difficult to predict and could cause its operating results to fall below expectations or guidance;
• If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting in the future we may not be able to accurately or timeously report our financial condition or results of operations;
• Innovid is subject to legislation related to data privacy and data protection in a variety of jurisdictions, failure to comply with such laws may adversely affect Innovid’s business;
• An assertion from a third party that Innovid is infringing its intellectual property rights, whether such assertion is valid or not, could subject it to costly and time-consuming litigation, expensive licenses or other impacts to its business;
• Innovid’s intellectual property rights may be difficult to enforce and protect, which could enable others to copy or use aspects of its technology without compensation, thereby eroding its competitive advantages and having an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition;
• Any failure of Innovid’s platform to operate as expected, including as a result of system failures, security breaches or cyberattacks, may adversely affect Innovid’s business;
• In the future, Innovid may need to obtain additional financing that may not be available or may reduce its profitability or result in dilution to its stockholders;
• The price of our common stock and warrants was and may be volatile in the future; and
• We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Part I
Item 1. Business
About Innovid
Innovid is a leading enterprise software platform for the creation, delivery, measurement, and optimization of advertising across connected TV (“CTV”), linear TV, mobile, and desktop environments. We provide critical technology infrastructure for many of the world’s largest brands, agencies, and publishers, and empower them to create ad-supported TV experiences people love. Our vision—that television should be open for everyone, and controlled by no one—is at the heart of how we operate our business as an independent platform, and as a strategic, trusted partner for our clients.
The approximately $200B TV advertising industry is evolving, with consumers rapidly shifting their TV viewing from linear TV to ad-supported CTV streaming platforms. As a result, brands and agencies are recognizing the need to make CTV a strategic focus. We believe there is significant upside as buying behaviors change and CTV spend catches up to where consumers are spending their time. Contributing to this rapid shift has been the increase in live sports content available on streaming platforms, as well as the growth of ad-supported CTV models, such as Netflix, Disney, Apple TV, and the newest entrant, Amazon Prime.
Innovid’s cloud-based enterprise technology platform is purpose-built for CTV, with a comprehensive view of the full advertising ecosystem, including linear TV, mobile, and desktop channels. Our platform tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem, and includes three key solutions: Ad Serving, Creative Personalization, and Measurement. Every day, we deliver approximately 1.3 billion Media Ratings Council (“MRC”)-accredited ad impressions, which gives us an unparalleled CTV data set. We leverage this data to power all of our solutions, and it serves as the foundation for our Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation and optimization strategies, which we are using to drive future growth. Innovid is an independent platform. We do not buy or sell media, nor do we operate our own media channel. As such, we are free of potential buying conflicts and remain focused on providing critical technology infrastructure for our customers.
We count many of the world’s largest brand advertisers as customers, including Anheuser-Busch InBev, CVS Pharmacy, Kellogg’s, Mercedes-Benz, Target, Sanofi, and more. As of December 31, 2023, over 50% of the top 200 large advertisers by TV US advertising spend, according to MediaRadar, leveraged our platform. We are also trusted partners to the largest streaming platform providers in the world, including Disney, Hulu, ESPN, NBCU, and Paramount, and we work closely with top advertising agencies and agency holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom Group, Interpublic Group of Cos., Dentsu Inc., Havas Group, Horizon Media, and The Stagwell Group. Our clients are diversified across all major industry verticals, including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail, financial services, automotive and technology. Innovid serves customers globally across over 50 countries, with most of our customers located in the United States.
Innovid’s revenue has grown alongside the growth of advertising on streaming platforms, specifically CTV advertising. We believe our open platform and position as a strategic platform partner has allowed us to grow our customer base with many of the largest, most well-known global brands. Further, our usage-based revenue model is based at a fixed price per volume. As brands increase their CTV spend in the coming years and their volume grows, we have the opportunity to realize continued growth within those accounts. CTV accounted for 53%, 51% and 46% of all video impressions served by Innovid during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. An impression is the metric used to quantify the number of views of an advertisement. We have long-term relationships with many of our brand customers, with an average relationship of over six years for our top 100 customers. In the last few years, we have increasingly included minimum commitments as part of our customer deals, which marks a continued shift toward predictable, recurring revenue. We also have ongoing contractual agreements with the top advertising agency holding companies and major advertising agencies, who serve as valued partners in serving the needs of the brand customer, as well as publishers such as Disney+ and Hulu who ultimately stream the advertisements to consumers on their platforms.
Most of our revenue is derived from our Ad Serving Solutions, where ads are delivered through the Innovid ad serving platform to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile, desktop, and other channels. Our Measurement Solution, InnovidXP, measures the efficiency and effectiveness of CTV advertising and our instant optimization capabilities enable in-flight optimizations for television advertisers. Our Creative Personalization Solutions provide creative services for the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to video advertising assets. Our solutions enable advertisers to generate millions of personalized ad versions from a single asset.

Our History
Innovid was founded in 2007 with the dream of bringing innovation to digital video. Innovation in video is in our name and lies at the heart of who we are as a company. We filed the world’s very first patent to insert interactive objects into video and soon after, we introduced video ad serving to the market. As the global CTV market evolved, and the benefits of having creative, ad serving, and measurement capabilities on one platform became clear, we evolved to meet the needs of the world’s largest brands and to maintain our leadership position as the company best-suited to power the future of TV advertising. Some key milestones on our journey include:
2007: Founded in Israel by Zvika Netter, Tal Chalozin, and Zack Zigdon.
2008: Patented the ability to insert interactive objects into video content. Collaborated with IAB to define and launch VAST standards.
2009: Collaborated with the IAB to define and launch VPAID standards.
2012: Built and launched one of the first video ad serving platforms built specifically for CTV.
2013: Created first cross-screen interactive ad unit to provide a consistent creative experience across all screens and devices: CTV, online, mobile.
2015: Created one of the first interactive CTV experiences. First-to-market with a CTV SDK. Innovid technology included in Roku's SDK, opening the potential for personalized, targeted, interactive video ads to run across Roku's thousands of channels.
2018: First company to receive an MRC accreditation for OTT Ad Impression Measurement. Launched CTV Creative Composer, which provides users with an easy and efficient way to develop advanced creative experiences for CTV.
2019: Acquired Herolens, a leading creative management platform in Latin America, which expanded our capabilities to include display alongside our award-winning TV, video, and social ad formats. Accelerated evolution from video ad server to primary ad server for customers, and established our physical presence in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Launched the first LIVE personalized and interactive ad to run during the Super Bowl, in partnership with CBS Interactive and Kellogg’s Pringles. First to leverage Roku ACR data to measure across linear and CTV.

Partnered with NBCUniversal to measure outcomes for local advertisers across CTV and linear. Partnered with Infillion to scale reach & streamline workflow for interactive CTV ads. Surpassed 400B impressions served / year.
Our Industry
We believe that Innovid’s business benefits from being a part of the approximately $200 billion TV advertising industry that is going through a generational shift from legacy linear television to digital platforms, most notably connected television. As consumers rapidly shift their viewing habits to streaming TV, marketers and agencies are recognizing the need to make CTV a strategic focus. We believe that our business benefits from many of the most significant trends in converged TV advertising and that our solutions are positioned optimally to help our customers navigate this transition.
Advertisers see the opportunity of CTV and are investing in it.
Consumers Are “Cutting the Cord” and Adopting Streaming Services with Advertisers Quickly Following Suit. US CTV user penetration is expected to be over 80% for consumers aged 25 to 54 beginning in 2024, according to eMarketer’s September 2023 forecast. Viewership on streaming devices is expanding in the United States. In August 2023, Nielsen reported that traditional viewing across broadcast and cable in the U.S. dropped below 50% for the first time. We believe there is significant upside as buying behaviors change and CTV spend catches up to where consumers are spending their time.

Rise of Advertising-Supported Content. Large streaming services have increasingly adopted ad-supported subscription tiers in addition to ad-free models . For example, streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ adopted this hybrid approach, entering a market that included Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock. Newest to the AVOD market are AppleTV and Amazon Prime. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, 7 in 10 Peacock and Hulu users are on ad-supported plans, and a recent Kantar survey estimates about a quarter of existing subscribers would opt for the ad-supported tier of Disney+. As more streaming services adopt ads, this will increase the amount of available advertising inventory in the marketplace, and provide more opportunity for Innovid to create, deliver, and measure ads in those channels.
Digitalization of TV Advertising. The advertising industry continues to see traditional mediums such as linear TV, radio, and out-of-home (“OOH”) transition to digital channels and platforms. This has created a new environment where the operational silos that existed historically between linear and digital have been removed with new open software and technology platforms enabling this evolution. In particular, according to the multinational ad agency Dentsu Inc., TV advertising is gravitating toward CTV due to its ability to provide the reach, addressability, interactivity, and measurability most commonly associated with digital media.
Live Sports Transition to Streaming. The shift of live sports to streaming platforms is accelerating the transition to a digital TV future. In 2023 alone, large portions of NFL inventory could be viewed outside traditional TV, with games simulcast on Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+, and Amazon Prime. NBCUniversal's Peacock became the first-ever platform to exclusively livestream an NFL playoff game in January 2024, which made history as the most streamed event in the U.S. , reaching nearly 28 million viewers. Additionally, in February 2024, the Superbowl was live streamed on Paramount+ for the first time, representing a significant shift in how one of the world’s largest viewing events was distributed. We worked with Paramount+ to enable first-to-market ad experiences in a live streamed sports event, where viewers could interact with advertisements real time. Most recently in February 2024, ESPN, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery announced their intention to launch a joint sports streaming service later in the year, signifying that live sports will continue to shift to streaming platforms. We believe this will further accelerate the increase in CTV viewership and advertiser spend in CTV channels.
But advertisers are challenged to be able to unify and optimize across linear TV, CTV and digital video.
Fragmentation is increasing. As of December 2023, there were more than 200 streaming services in the market, according to Gazette, presenting a significant challenge for advertisers trying to reach a large audience at scale. The growing ecosystem of disparate partners has fueled increased demand for open and independent technology platforms that are able to connect and simplify workflows across the various closed ecosystems, or walled gardens, that restrict access to applications, content and/or media and an increasing universe of other media providers.
Cross-platform measurement for linear and CTV is still being defined. Television networks and advertisers have relied on traditional metrics such as age, gender and specific air times for linear TV measurement. As viewership continues to fragment and shift towards CTV, data and technology enables advertisers and publishers to capture ad exposures and measure content consumption and ad engagement in new ways. However, the process of standardizing measurement across both linear and CTV ads is a key challenge.
Ensuring a consistently good user experience across screens is complex. Untargeted ads served at a high frequency have lost favor to a new model focused on fewer, better ads. Marketers are adopting data-driven advertising strategies to improve creative relevance through personalized ads while at the same time optimizing ad delivery against key metrics such as reach and frequency in real-time. Technology plays a critical role in empowering advertisers to leverage data to improve relevance and provide the infrastructure for real-time optimization of ad delivery based on accurate measures.
The Innovid Platform
Innovid’s technology is purpose-built for CTV, with a comprehensive view of the full advertising ecosystem, including linear TV, mobile, and desktop channels. Our cloud-based software platform provides an open technology infrastructure that tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem including demand side platforms (“DSPs”) and supply side platforms (“SSPs”) such as The Trade Desk, Magnite and Verizon Media; publishers such as Hulu, Disney and Peacock; and end user devices such as Amazon Fire and Samsung Smart TV.

Every day, we deliver over 1.3 billion MRC-accredited ad impressions, which gives us an unparalleled CTV data set. We leverage this data to power all of our solutions, and it serves as the foundation for our Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation and optimization strategies, which we are using to drive future growth. As an independent platform, we do not buy or sell media, nor do we operate our own delivery channel. As such, we are free of potential buying conflicts and remain focused on providing critical technology infrastructure for our customers.
Innovid’s integrated platform consists of three core solutions: Ad Serving, Creative Personalization, and Measurement Solutions.
Ad Serving Solutions
Innovid’s cloud-based ad serving platform is an independent and comprehensive software toolset for video campaign implementation and management. We believe the independence of our platform is a strategic differentiator, enabling us to work with any publisher or partner, without media bias or ad-buying conflicts of interest. Our open platforms enable our clients to seamlessly activate partners such as DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, Oracle Data Cloud, among many others. Within our platform, the Campaign Submission Form (“CSF”) is used by clients to submit advertising campaign information and creative assets which are automatically validated and encoded to ensure compliance with the variety of different delivery format specifications typical in the industry. The CSF also allows advertisers to set up creative ad rotation and delivery strategies. Our Campaign Management Tool (“CMT”) is our central hub for managing partner integrations, publisher tag generation, click-through and tracking management, as well as supporting QA. The CMT workflow tool allows clients to streamline day-to-day operations, eliminate unnecessary work, expedite campaign launches and maximize reporting quality. Our analytics dashboard provides a unified visualization of ad performance filterable by delivery, audience reach, device breakdown, viewability, verification and more. We enable custom report building, including integration with third-party data visualization partners, allowing users to customize and automate reporting to meet their strategic campaign goals.
Creative Personalization Solutions
Our dynamic creative optimization (“DCO”) solution enables advertisers to generate millions of personalized ad versions from a single asset through the use of several proprietary software tools. Our solution enables the optimization of our client’s creative asset based on signals from the Innovid ad serving platform and measurement tools and from partners such as Walmart DSP and Disney. Our Software Development Kit (“SDK”) allows CTV publishers to execute advanced video formats across all CTV devices and enables advanced measurement. The Innovid SDK is integrated with many of the leading CTV apps and devices, providing advanced video capabilities into more than 100 apps on all the leading devices. Our Creative Composer Suite allows designers and developers to author ads through any combination of internal, external, and/or code-based tools, including Adobe and Google Web Designer plug-ins. Creative teams can use intuitive tools to design custom or templated interactive and dynamic CTV ads. Our platform also contains powerful strategic modeling tools to provide flexibility to create and visualize strategies across multiple data sets such as geo, weather, date/time, audience, frequency, sequencing, publisher data, retargeting, and ISP. Within each decision tree branch, creatives can be managed via ad rotation, sequencing, and optimization. Finally, our proprietary dynamic rendering engine uses automation to streamline workflows. It is designed to seamlessly pre-render dynamic static images, animations, and videos. These ads are assembled server-side (cloud) and in real-time upon ad request. Our proactive certification includes automated specifications compliance and video encoding, ensuring that ads are served at the highest possible quality across all publishers and devices, including 4K CTV.
Measurement Solutions
Our measurement solution, Innovid XP, is designed to provide holistic and granular household-level analysis for the TV and digital ecosystem. While there is native standard measurement and reporting functionality included within Innovid’s ad serving solutions, Innovid XP offers converged TV measurement across the TV universe, enabling accurate, always-on, identity-enabled measurement and attribution, at scale, for advertisers everywhere – driving brand growth and maximizing audience reach. Innovid XP was enabled by the acquisition of TVSquared (“TVS”), an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV, in Q1 2022. We believe our global, independent measurement platform for linear TV, CTV, and digital is a key differentiator for us in the industry and provides unique value for our clients.
Key features of Innovid XP include:
Reach and Frequency Measurement: Provides a holistic view of total TV media investment with cross-platform measurement, inclusive of incremental reach and ad delivery across linear and streaming campaigns.
Impression measurement across channels and audiences;
Accurate reach and frequency metrics;

First- and third-party audience data tied to ad exposure for identity resolution.
Growth Strategy
We believe we have multiple paths to continue gaining market share and grow revenue as a strategic technology partner to our customers. We also believe we have attractive growth opportunities both within our current customer base as well as through the addition of new customer relationships.
Growing with Our Current Customers
As video advertising continues to shift from linear to CTV, we expect to benefit from the natural volume growth of CTV impressions. We have historically had strong client retention and benefited from increases in volume over time from our clients. As legacy TV budgets migrate from linear TV to CTV, we anticipate there will be meaningful growth upside in the coming years.
Cross-Sell and Upsell Additional Products and Solutions to Our Existing Customers
Given the long term nature of our customer relationships, we have an opportunity to offer additional value added solutions to our customers. We cross-sell our personalized creative solutions to primary ad serving customers, giving them the opportunity to derive more value from each ad asset through personalization. We also cross-sell our advanced TV measurement solution, Innovid XP, to provide real-time metrics to inform optimization of cross-platform campaigns while in market, a departure from the traditional delayed post-campaign reporting widely available in market.
We also have the opportunity to increase penetration / usage of an Innovid product within a client’s business. This may include new business units or geographies within an organization.
Win New Customer Accounts
We intend to continue targeting new brands, media agencies and publishers who are currently utilizing solutions provided by our competitors or point solutions. We see a significant opportunity to grow our customer base with our integrated solutions by introducing enhanced capabilities with an emphasis on data, cross-channel measurement, and optimization.
Expand Our International Presence
The majority of our clients are global advertisers that operate at a significant scale. We intend to continue to grow our footprint in international markets in order to meet the needs of our global customer base and accelerate new customer acquisition in key geographies outside of North America. Currently, the US is a leader in CTV adoption and we believe that as other regions transition to CTV, there is an attractive opportunity for additional growth.
Expand to New Customer Groups
As television investment and consumer behavior continues to shift from linear to CTV, we have identified the opportunity for our total addressable market to be larger than just the global top television advertising spenders and we intend to drive growth among these segments.

Pursue M&A Opportunities
Our management team has a proven track record of identifying, evaluating, executing and integrating strategic acquisitions. Innovid completed the acquisition of TVSquared, a leading independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV, in 2022. Through this acquisition we expanded our technology and solutions offerings to encompass real-time, cross-platform analysis, including outcomes such as reach, frequency and unduplicated reach, as well as performance metrics. We maintain an active pipeline of potential M&A targets and intend to continue evaluating add-on opportunities to bolster our current solutions suite and complement our organic growth initiatives.
Partnerships and Integrations
In a market that has been trending towards walled garden consolidation, we believe our independence allows us to work with any publisher or partner, without media bias or ad-buying conflicts of interest. Because of this open platform approach, we have developed deep integrations with partners across the ad tech ecosystem.
Innovid’s integrations are designed to automate workflow and streamline the development and distribution of advertisements, all the while saving marketers time and money. Innovid integrations include:
Campaign Workflow Integrations - Campaign management and trafficking integrations with Demand Side Platforms (“DSPs”) like The Trade Desk and DV360, digital asset management vendors such as AdStream for example, streamline day-to-day workflow by eliminating unnecessary work, expediting campaign launches, and minimizing reporting discrepancies. Innovid has also built custom workflow integrations for top brands and holding companies.
Brand Safety and Ad Fraud Integrations - Innovid supports deep verification, viewability, and ad blocking capabilities with vendors such as Moat, IAS, DV, and Comscore.
Media Providers and Walled Garden Integrations - Innovid’s independent third-party ad tags are accepted by media providers and content platforms globally. Innovid is a Google Preferred Measurement Partner and is fully integrated with Google’s Ads Data Hub. Innovid is also a Preferred Creative Partner of Meta.
Data and Creative Personalization Integrations - Innovid maintains server-to-server integrations to enable ad decisioning from audience segments and/or IDs passed from partners. We integrate with leading Data Management Platforms (“DMP”) such as LiveRamp, Oracle, Neustar, Salesforce, and Adobe. Innovid also supports creative decision-making based on audience data passed directly from the brand’s choice of Demand Side Platform . Examples include, but are not limited to Adobe, Verizon Media and The Trade Desk.
Creative Ad Authoring Integrations - Innovid provides full flexibility for designers and developers to curate ads through any combination of internal, external, and/or code-based tools. Integrations include Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Google Web Designer.
Brand Research and Attribution Integrations - Brand study partners directly integrated with Innovid include Comscore, Nielsen DAR, and Kantar (Millward Brown). Innovid is also able to implement third-party pixels to support direct tracking or pursue deeper integrations with other third-party measurement providers.
Data Visualization Integrations - Third-party data processing and analytics tools can tap into Innovid’s Data API or connect to a raw data feed to receive Innovid data for further analysis.
Third Party Ad Server Integrations - Innovid enables brands to leverage the power of our omni-channel ad serving and analytics platform through 1x1 pixels, while continuing to use other ad servers to manage their search campaigns and multi-touch attribution goals.
Certifications and Accreditations
Innovid is deeply invested in ensuring the accuracy of our ad delivery and measurement on behalf of our clients. Proactive publisher certification prior to campaign launch can significantly reduce the number of data discrepancies and/or errors.
Innovid’s publisher certification process is supported via a dedicated certification team that maintains a database of thousands of publishers, networks, and exchanges. The process is made up of both a functional and discrepancy test to ensure all ads are rendered at their highest possible quality, all pixels are firing correctly, and reporting is as expected. Our team certifies publishers pre-campaign, verifying compliance with Interactive Advertising Bureau (“IAB”) and MRC standards. When ads are uploaded to our platform our system automatically references Innovid’s publisher certification database. Our automatic encoding engine then instantly resizes ads to individual publisher specs, from a single asset, to meet the requirements for each partner on a media plan.
12

Innovid also holds industry-leading MRC accreditations, a common standard for media transacting with leading advertisers, spanning CTV, video and display ad formats. The MRC establishes industry standards for valid, reliable and effective media measurement. Innovid has been accredited with the MRC since 2013 for impressions and viewable impressions on desktops, mobile webs, and mobile apps. In 2018, the MRC granted Innovid the first ever MRC accreditation for OTT video ad impression measurement, cementing an important milestone in the industry’s ongoing evolution in this space. As a result of this accreditation, Innovid’s accredited metrics and methodologies have been independently vetted by the MRC to confirm they are valid, reliable and effective.
Customers
We count many of the world’s largest brand advertisers as customers, including Anheuser-Busch InBev, CVS Pharmacy, Kellogg’s, Mercedes-Benz, Target, Sanofi, and more. As of December 31, 2023, over 50% of the top 200 large advertisers by TV US advertising spend according to MediaRadar leveraged our platform. The majority of our customers typically come from large global enterprises across all major industry verticals, including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail, financial services, automotive and technology. In 2023, no single customer accounted for more than 16% of our revenue, with such advertisers or publishers representing brands that contract with us directly, or through third party agencies and publishers, or some combination thereof. While a majority of Innovid’s revenue is currently generated within the United States, Innovid also serves customers across the globe, including supporting the international needs of some of the world’s largest brands. In 2023, approximately 9% of Innovid’s revenue was generated by our customers outside of the US.
We are also trusted partners to the largest streaming platform providers in the world, including Disney, Hulu, ESPN, NBCU, and Paramount, and we work closely with top advertising agencies and agency holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom Group, Interpublic Group of Cos., Dentsu Inc., Havas Group, Horizon Media, and The Stagwell Group.
Competition
We operate in multiple markets with different types of competitors. Our primary competition in ad serving and creative personalization solutions is Google. In addition, there are several vendors that provide point solutions addressing creative personalization and DCO such as Jivox. Lastly, we compete with providers of audience and advertising measurement, such as iSpot.
To be competitive in our industry, we believe we must focus on:
the ability to reach and engage with viewers in CTV environments enabled through unique premium publisher partnerships and proprietary SDK technology;
the ability to holistically manage the personalization and delivery of ads dynamically across all addressable formats and channels;
the ability to automate the ad delivery workflow to reduce rejection rates and decrease manual resources required to deliver TV and other digital ads into addressable environments;
the ability to provide unified and consistent measurement of linear, CTV, and digital video ads across all available formats and channels;
the ability to innovate and adapt product offerings to emerging addressable media technologies and offer products that meet changing customer needs;
the ability to support large, global customers and develop and maintain complex integrations with key partners across the advertising ecosystem;
the ability to achieve and maintain industry accreditations;
the ability to collect advertising data across platforms and provide independent measurement to our customers;
the ability to provide always-on, accurate measurement across linear and CTV for reach & frequency and outcomes at scale, across platforms, including walled gardens.
Talent and Culture
Employees
As of December 31, 2023, we had 466 employees across 8 offices in 9 countries, with 168 employees in research and development and related activities.
13

Talent Acquisition and Development
We are focused on recruiting and retaining talented employees across the organization. We continue to invest to hire and retain top talent in all of our offices. Our strong reputation has contributed to over 19,000 candidates applying to work at Innovid in 2023. For new hires, we have a robust onboarding program tailored towards individual roles and responsibilities. On an ongoing basis, we invest in training and development programs that help our employees achieve their career goals and build management skills. We have two formal career feedback discussions per year where managers and their employees discuss progress and feedback for each other. We believe in developing and promoting top talent from within: in 2023, approximately one out of every five of our employees was offered an opportunity for career advancement within the Company.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Innovid is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.
Innovid’s policies are applicable, but not limited, to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, professional development and training, promotions, transfers, social and recreational programs, layoffs, terminations, and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of diversity equity and inclusion that encourages and enforces:
Respectful communication and cooperation among all employees;
Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all individuals and employee perspectives;
Work/life balance through hybrid work schedules to accommodate employees’ varying needs; and
Contributions to the communities we serve to promote a greater understanding and respect for diversity, equity and inclusion.
All employees of Innovid have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times. All employees deserve a work environment free from all forms of discrimination. Innovid similarly prohibits retaliation against employees who file complaints under this policy or who participate in complaint investigations. Any employee found to have exhibited any inappropriate conduct or behavior against others may be subject to disciplinary action. Employees who believe they have been subjected to any kind of discrimination are required to advise HR, their department’s VP or a member of the management team.
Innovid’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion achieved measurable results in 2023. New U.S employees hired during 2023 were 43% Black and Indigenous people of color (“BIPOC”) and 43% women. Existing employee promotions across 2023 were granted to women 43% of the time globally and BIPOC employees 26% of the time in the US. Additionally, several other diversity-focused initiatives including behaviors of inclusion training, compensation audits, paid internship program, employee resource groups and volunteering programs were continued during calendar year 2023.
Regulatory Matters
Data Privacy and Data Protection Laws
Data privacy and data protection legislation and regulation play a significant role in our business. We and our clients use personal data about internet users collected through our platform to manage and execute digital advertising campaigns in a variety of ways, including delivering advertisements to internet users based on their particular geographic locations, the type of device they are using, or their interests as inferred from their web browsing or app usage activity. We do not use this data to further identify specific individuals, and we do not seek to associate this data with information that can be used to further identify specific individuals. We take all required steps to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws, which continue to evolve. As a result, our platform and business practices must be assessed regularly in each jurisdiction where we do business to avoid violating applicable legislation and regulation.
14

Data Privacy Regulation in the US
In the United States (“US”), at both the federal and state level, there are laws that govern activities such as the collection and use of data by companies. At the federal level, online advertising activities are subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), which has primarily relied upon Section 5 of the FTC Act, which prohibits companies from engaging in “unfair” or “deceptive” trade practices, including alleged violations of representations concerning privacy protections and acts that allegedly violate individuals’ privacy interests. There are also other data privacy laws that apply. For example, we may send short message service, or SMS, text messages which would be subject to the Telephone Consumer Protections Act (“TCPA”). The actual or perceived improper calling or sending of text messages may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws such as the TCPA. Further, we also send marketing emails and are therefore subject to the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or the CAN SPAM Act, which established specific requirements for commercial email messages, specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content, and obligates, among other things, the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the ability to opt out of receiving future commercial emails from the sender.
There has been increased regulation of data privacy and security in the United States, particularly at the state level. Some proposed and newly enacted legislation at state level has affected and will continue to affect, our operations and those of our industry partners. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which came into effect in January 2020, defines “personal information” broadly enough to include online identifiers provided by individuals’ devices, such as IP addresses, and establishes a new privacy framework for covered businesses. The CCPA expanded privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California and imposes more stringent obligations on companies regarding the level of information and control they provide to users about the collection and sharing of their data. Moreover, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), which came into effect on January 1, 2023 further modified and expanded the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain personal information and creating a new state agency to oversee implementation and enforcement efforts. The enactment of the CCPA is prompting a wave of similar legislative developments in other states in the US, which has created the potential for a patchwork of overlapping but different state laws. For example, general privacy statutes similar to the CCPA are now in effect and enforceable in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, and similar statutes will soon be enforceable in several other states as well. Many other states are also currently reviewing or proposing the need for greater regulation of the collection, sharing, use and other processing of information related to individuals for marketing purposes or otherwise, and there remains increased interest at the federal level.

Further, we are subject to laws, regulations and standards in the US covering marketing, advertising, cookies, tracking technologies, e-marketing, and other activities conducted by the internet, and regulation of cookies and similar technologies, and any use of cookies or similar online tracking technologies as a means to identify and potentially target users, may lead to broader restrictions and impairments on our services and may negatively impact our efforts to help our customers better understand their users. Regulatory attention in the US is driving increased attention to cookies and tracking technologies and privacy activists are referring non-compliant companies to regulators.

Data Privacy Regulation in Europe

Our business activities are also subject to foreign legislation and regulation. In the European Economic Area (“EEA”), separate laws and regulations (and member states’ implementations thereof) govern the processing of personal data, and these laws and regulations continue to impact us. We are subject to the EEA General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and also the United Kingdom (“UK”) GDPR, which, together with the amended UK Data Protection Act 2018, retains the GDPR in UK national law.
In any event, we are subject to laws, rules, and regulations regarding cross-border transfers of personal data, including laws relating to the transfer of personal data outside the EEA and the UK. Recent legal developments in the EEA and the UK have created complexity and uncertainty regarding transfers of personal information from the EEA and the UK to “third countries,” especially the United States. As supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data transfer mechanisms, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, and/or injunctions against processing personal data from the EEA and UK, and if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results.
15

We are also subject to evolving EEA and UK privacy laws on cookies and e-marketing which require informed consent for the placement of most cookies or similar technologies on a user’s device and for direct electronic marketing. In the EEA and the UK, regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with these requirements in the online behavioral advertising ecosystem and are increasingly taking action to enforce them. The EEA GDPR and UK GDPR also impose conditions on obtaining valid consent, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents and a requirement to ensure separate consents are sought for each type of cookie or similar technology. Regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with current national laws that implement the ePrivacy Directive, and which may be replaced by an EU regulation known as the ePrivacy Regulation, which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance.

Data Privacy Regulation in the Asia-Pacific Region
Our business activities are also subject to legislation and regulation in the Asia-Pacific region. Following the implementation of the GDPR, many jurisdictions have moved to amend, release, review and strengthen their existing data privacy and cyber-security laws, and there has been a progressive effort in the region to work towards coordinating their otherwise disparate laws. For example, the PRC regulatory and enforcement regime with regard to data security and data protection is evolving and may be subject to different interpretations or significant changes.

Innovid’s data protection program is largely rooted in the GDPR and Service Organization Control Type 2 (“SOC2”) security standards, and any international data transfers from the Asia-Pacific region are governed by direct contractual agreements between the regional entities and Innovid’s US parent corporate entity, Innovid, Corp. Otherwise, our compliance team works to oversee compliance with these Asia-Pacific regional requirements and to address compliance with our region-specific clients and business teams.
Innovid’s General Data Protection and Consumer Privacy Practices
Innovid is dedicated to a high standard of consumer privacy and data protection, while maintaining quality online Advertising Services to various advertisers, agencies, publishers and other businesses across various third-party websites and online media.
Innovid has restrictive policies for the collection, use and sharing of consumer data. We maintain membership with the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), a self-regulatory association dedicated to responsible data collection and its use for digital advertising, and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”), an independent organization led by advertising and marketing trade associations that has established self-regulatory principles enforcing responsible privacy practices for digital advertising and consumer transparency. Innovid also maintains accreditation with the MRC.
Innovid’s collection of consumer data generally consists of basic data elements associated with advertisements served or measured by Innovid, such as impressions, clicks, viewing duration, IP address, date and time of interaction, information about the general geographical location from which a consumer is viewing an advertisement, device type, and other generic identifiers made available by the browser or device. Innovid collects these data elements on behalf of its clients in a data privacy-compliant manner, in order to effectively measure and evaluate the performance of the client’s advertising campaigns, deliver, schedule and sequence ads, administer the client’s account, and provide the client with engagement analysis.
At a client’s request, Innovid may assist the client with targeting its ads based on the client’s first-party data or based on data from the client’s selected data management platform. Innovid also offers frequency and ad personalization features such as ad sequencing and creative decisioning based on factors such as general geographic location. Innovid receives user segments from its customers to conduct real-time ad decisioning, but does not create or retain such segments itself. Innovid also does not collect any categories of data deemed sensitive under applicable laws or NAI standards. In a limited number of use cases, the client also has the option to have Innovid collect consumer email addresses or phone numbers on its behalf from selected advertising formats; in these cases, such opt-in data is used solely to fulfill the client’s request.
Innovid upholds consumer choice. Innovid believes consumers should have the right to control how they are targeted across online media. Innovid respects the consumer’s choice to opt-out of interest-based advertising.
16

Data Security and Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations
Innovid is committed to data security and takes a variety of measures in line with industry practice to safeguard the data in its possession from unauthorized alteration, destruction, access or misuse. We maintain tight controls over all the data we collect, retaining it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights, designed to ensure that the data is secure. Additional security measures include encryption of personal information at rest and in transit, maintaining a strict password policy, the use of multi-factor authentication for key systems, maintaining antivirus measures and vulnerability management policies, and the use of various security technologies designed to prevent unauthorized activity.
Innovid maintains compliance with the EU GDPR and UK GDPR. Innovid has in place the EU-approved standard contractual clauses with data exporters from the EU. Innovid has appointed a data protection officer, has a process for responding in a timely manner to data subjects seeking to exercise their rights under GDPR, and takes a proactive approach to putting the necessary contractual provisions in place with its vendors and clients.
Innovid has taken a comprehensive approach to compliance with US state privacy laws and will continue to monitor and adjust its approach as the law continues to evolve, to ensure we maintain compliance with the latest regulations, requirements and best practices. As between Innovid and its clients, Innovid is a service provider and does not sell personal information as contemplated under CCPA.
Data policy and privacy regulations are dynamic and constantly changing. In addition to performing yearly internal audits, Innovid continues to monitor its compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Intellectual Property
We consider our trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, patents and other intellectual property rights, including those in our know-how and the software code of our proprietary technology, to be important components of our success. We rely on intellectual property laws, including trade secret, copyright and trademark laws in the United States and abroad, and use contracts, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements and other contractual rights to protect our intellectual property.
As of February 22, 2024, we had 14 granted patents, zero pending patent applications, and seven registered trademark applications covering a variety of interactive and contextual analysis capabilities. We have also registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as www.innovid.com.
We design, test and update our products, services and websites regularly, and we have developed our proprietary solutions in-house. Our know-how is an important element of our intellectual property. The development and management of our platform requires sophisticated coordination among many specialized employees. We take steps to protect our know-how, trade secrets and other confidential information, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, developers and vendors who have access to our confidential information, and generally limiting access to and distribution of our confidential information. To protect our technology against unauthorized access, we also implement multiple layers of security. Access to our platform, other than to obtain basic information, requires system usernames and passwords.
We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would advance our business objectives and maintain our competitive position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in Innovid involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including the financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. See the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Relating to Innovid’s Business and Industry
Innovid’s business depends on its ability to maintain and expand relationships with advertisers and agencies and continued resilience of ad-spend among existing customers. If Innovid fails to grow its advertiser base or experience continued levels of ad-spend among existing customers, its business may be adversely affected. Similarly, if Innovid’s services or employees fail to perform as expected, it may lose advertisers and its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Innovid’s business depends on its ability to maintain and expand relationships with advertisers and agencies. Innovid depends on advertisers and agencies to specify and utilize its offering. Innovid currently relies on, and expects to continue to rely on, approximately 177 core clients calculated according to a new methodology to include publishers described elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This amount may include multiple paying customers. These core clients accounted for 90% of our 2023 revenue, with no single client accounting for more than 17% of our 2023 revenue. To support Innovid’s continued growth, it will seek to add additional advertisers to its platform and expand current utilization with its existing advertisers. However, there are no assurances it will be able to do so. Innovid has few advertising customers with minimum commitments so there is no guarantee that existing advertiser relationships will persist. Any disruptions in Innovid’s relationships with advertisers could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. If Innovid cannot retain or add individual advertisers, or if existing advertisers reduce their use of its offering, it could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Additionally, if Innovid’s offerings do not meet the current or future expectations of its advertisers or agencies or if Innovid’s services or employees fail to perform as expected, such advertisers or agencies may seek alternative options and Innovid’s results may suffer. Furthermore, if existing advertisers significantly reduce their ad-spend in response to continued supply change disruptions, labor shortages or other macroeconomic trends, Innovid’s results will suffer.
20

Innovid has a history of net losses in the previous years, and it anticipates increasing operating expenses in the future, and may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability.
We incurred net losses of $31.9 million, $18.4 million and $11.5 million in the years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Innovid may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Because the market for CTV advertisement, and the management and analytics tools Innovid offers, is rapidly evolving, it is difficult for Innovid to predict its future results of operations or the limits of its market opportunity. Innovid expects its operating expenses to increase over the next several years as it hires additional personnel, particularly in research and development and sales and marketing, expands it partnerships, operations, and infrastructure, both domestically and internationally and continues to develop and expand its platform’s features and capabilities. Innovid also intends to continue to build and enhance its platform through both internal research and development as well as selectively pursuing acquisitions that can uniquely contribute to its platform’s features and capabilities. In addition, now that Innovid has become a public company, it will incur additional significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. If Innovid’s revenue does not increase to offset the expected increases in its operating expenses, it will not be profitable in future periods. In future periods, Innovid’s revenue growth could slow or its revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including any failure to increase the number of advertisers using its platform or to increase its volume of impressions or as a result of a decrease in the growth of its overall market, its failure, for any reason, to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities, slowing demand for CTV advertising or for its management and analytics tools, additional regulatory burdens, or increasing competition. As a result, our past financial performance may not be indicative of its future performance. Any failure by Innovid to achieve or sustain profitability on a consistent basis could cause the value of our common stock to decline.
Decrease and/or changes in CTV audience viewing behavior may adversely affect Innovid’s business and growth potential.
Technology and competition in Innovid’s industry continue to evolve rapidly. Changes to competitor’s products and solutions, which may differ from Innovid’s current offerings could have a material impact on Innovid. Also, consumer behavior relating to changes in content distribution and technological innovation may affect Innovid’s economic model and viewership in ways that are not entirely predictable. Innovid’s growth is dependent upon the continued growth of CTV, and to the extent consumer behavior regarding CTV were to change in ways that reduce the effectiveness of Innovid’s offering, its growth prospects would be significantly impacted.
If Innovid fails to make the right investment decisions, or if it fails to innovate and develop new solutions that are adopted by advertisers, it may not attract advertisers, which could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Innovid faces intense competition in the marketplace and is confronted by rapidly changing technology, industry standards, consumer preferences, and regulatory requirements, which require it to adapt and respond quickly. Innovid needs to continuously update its platform by investing and developing in new technology in order to attract advertisers and anticipate changes in technology, evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements. Innovid’s platform is complex and new solutions can require a significant investment of time and resources to develop, test, introduce, and enhance. These activities can take longer than expected. Moreover, Innovid may not make the right decisions regarding these investments. New formats and channels related to CTV advertising present unique challenges that Innovid must address in order to succeed. Innovid’s success depends upon its ability to integrate its platform with these new formats and channels. If Innovid’s solutions are not widely adopted by advertisers, it may not attract or retain advertisers. In addition, evolving demands from advertisers, superior offerings by competitors, changes in technology, and new industry standards or regulatory requirements could render Innovid’s platform or its existing solutions less effective and require Innovid to make unanticipated changes to its platform or business model. Innovid’s failure to adapt to a rapidly changing market or failure to anticipate advertiser demand and attract advertisers could cause its revenue or revenue growth rate to decline, and may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
While Innovid is working on a number of innovations and enhancements designed to improve the value to its clients, these innovations may prove to be unsuccessful which could have a material impact on Innovid’s business. Also, Innovid may need to restructure or expand its sales efforts in order to maintain or increase revenue from new and existing customers and to further penetrate the market. If such efforts are ineffective, this may have a material impact on Innovid’s operations.
21

Innovid’s estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth and projections of future financial performance may prove to be inaccurate. If such forecasts related to market growth and market opportunity prove inaccurate, Innovid may not hire or staff appropriately and its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Innovid operates in a rapidly evolving industry. Innovid’s ability to forecast its future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including its ability to plan for and model future growth in both its business and the digital advertising market. Innovid is subject to risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries, including challenges in forecasting accuracy, determining the appropriate nature and levels of investments, assessing appropriate returns on investments, achieving market acceptance of its existing and future offerings, managing buyer implementations, and developing new solutions. If Innovid’s assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which it regularly uses to plan, are incorrect or fail to appropriately capture market changes, or if Innovid does not address these risks successfully, its operating and financial results could differ materially from its expectations and its business could suffer. Innovid’s past revenue growth is not indicative of its future performance. In future periods, Innovid’s revenue could decline or grow more slowly than it expects. Innovid believes the growth of its revenue depends on a number of factors, including its ability to:
attract new advertisers, and retain and expand its relationships with existing advertisers;
leverage the growth of OTT advertising and the proliferation of OTT advertising platforms, while remaining agile to advertisers’ needs or the possibility that OTT advertisers will revert to traditional advertising modes;
hire or staff appropriately according to its growth needs;
broaden its solutions portfolio to include additional marketing and monetization goals for advertisers;
adapt its offering to meet evolving needs, including to address market trends such as (i) the migration of consumers from desktop to mobile and from websites to mobile applications, (ii) the increasing percentage of sales that involve multiple digital devices, (iii) the growing adoption by consumers of “ad-blocking” software on web browsers on desktop and/or on mobile devices and the use or consumption by consumers of advertising-free services, (iv) changes in the marketplace for and supply of advertising inventory, including the shift toward header bidding, (v) changes in the overall ecosystem such as Apple’s introduction of its Intelligent Tracking Prevention feature into its Safari browser, Microsoft’s Tracking Prevention feature in its Edge browser, and Mozilla’s introduction of Enhanced Tracking Protection into its Firefox browser; and (vi) changes in consumer acceptance of tracking technologies for targeted or behavioral advertising purposes; and
continue to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape governing data protection and privacy matters.
Innovid’s sales and marketing efforts may require significant investments and, in certain cases, involve long sales cycles, and may not yield the results it seeks.
Innovid’s sales and marketing teams educate prospective advertisers about the use, technical capabilities, and benefits of its platform. Innovid’s sales cycle, from initial contact to contract execution and implementation, can take significant time with certain advertisers and agencies. Some of Innovid’s customers undertake an evaluation process that involves reviewing the offerings of Innovid’s competitors in addition to its platform. As a result, it is difficult to predict when a prospective customer will decide to execute an agreement and begin generating revenue for Innovid. Innovid is often required to explain how its platform can optimize the value of a premium publisher’s ad impressions or how a Demand Side Platform can discover valuable ad impressions. Innovid may spend substantial time and resources searching for new business or responding to requests for proposals from potential advertisers and such efforts may not result in revenue. Following contract execution and implementation, ongoing sales cycles and account management can take significant time. Innovid is often required to explain how an additional platform integration can enhance incremental demand or engage multiple trading teams within an advertising agency to source ad campaigns and create additional demand. Innovid may not succeed in attracting new advertisers and agencies despite its significant investment in its business development, sales and marketing organizations. It may also be difficult to predict when new advertisers will begin generating revenue through Innovid’s platform, and the extent of that revenue. Innovid may not succeed in expanding relationships with existing advertisers, despite its significant investment in its sales, account management, and marketing organizations. Further, it may be difficult to predict when additional products will generate revenue through Innovid’s platform, and the extent of that revenue.
22

If Innovid does not manage its growth effectively, the quality of its platform and solutions may suffer, and its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The continued growth in Innovid’s business may place demands on its infrastructure and its operational, managerial, administrative, and financial resources. Innovid’s success will depend on the ability of its management to manage growth effectively. Among other things, this will require Innovid at various times to:
strategically invest in the development and enhancement of its platform and data center infrastructure;
improve coordination among Innovid’s engineering, product, operations, and other support organizations;
manage multiple relationships with various partners, customers, and other third parties;
manage international operations;
develop its operating, administrative, legal, financial, and accounting systems and controls; and
recruit, hire, train, and retain personnel.
If Innovid does not manage its growth well, the efficacy and performance of its platform may suffer, which could harm its reputation, reduce demand for its platform and solutions and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid’s revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the overall demand for advertising. Factors that affect the amount of advertising spending, such as economic downturns, can make it difficult to predict Innovid’s revenue and could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid’s business depends on global economic conditions, the overall demand for digital advertising spending and on the economic health of its current and prospective customers that benefit from our platform. Unstable market conditions make it difficult for our customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and there is no assurance that the digital advertising market will experience the growth we anticipate
The market for internet advertising solutions is highly competitive and rapidly changing. New technologies and methods of advertising present a dynamic competitive challenge as market participants develop and offer multiple new products and services aimed at facilitating and/or capturing advertising spending. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new entrants to the market, including large established companies and companies that Innovid does not yet know about or do not yet exist, Innovid expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to increase sales and maintain its profitability. Large and established internet and technology companies may have the power to significantly change the very nature of the digital advertising marketplaces in ways that could materially disadvantage Innovid. These companies could leverage their positions to make changes to their web browsers, mobile operating systems, platforms, exchanges, networks or other solutions or services that could be significantly harmful to Innovid’s business and results of operations. These companies also have significantly larger resources than Innovid does, and in many cases have advantageous competitive positions in popular products and services like Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, Facebook and Instagram, which they can use to their advantage.
Furthermore, Innovid’s competitors include large and established internet and technology companies that have invested substantial resources in innovation, which could lead to technological advancements that change the competitive dynamics of Innovid’s business in ways that it may not be able to predict. Competition could also hinder the success of new advertising solutions that Innovid offers in the future. If any of these risks were to materialize, Innovid’s ability to compete effectively could be significantly compromised and its results of operations could be harmed. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for Innovid to sell its offerings and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced gross margins, increased sales and marketing expense and/or the loss of market share.
Also, various macroeconomic factors could cause advertisers to reduce the advertising budgets of Innovid’s customers, including adverse economic conditions, pandemics (for example COVID-19), terrorism, and general uncertainty about economic recovery or growth, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia, where Innovid does most of its business, instability in political or market conditions generally, and any changes in the tax treatment of advertising expenses and the deductibility thereof. Reductions in overall advertising spending as a result of these factors could make it difficult to predict Innovid’s revenue and could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. During the course of the pandemic supply chain disruptions and concerns regarding the continued pace of economic recovery led some advertisers in certain industries to reduce advertising spending and similar disruptions could recur in the future.
23

Innovid’s business depends on a limited number of advertising agencies and advertisers.
Innovid derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a limited number of advertising agencies and advertisers. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of revenue within any specific market or solution are concentrated within a limited number of advertising agencies and advertisers. Innovid cannot predict the future level of demand for its services and products that will be generated by these advertising agencies and advertisers. In addition, revenue from these advertising agencies and advertisers may fluctuate from time to time. Further, some of Innovid’s contracts with key advertising holding groups may permit such groups to terminate use of its products at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions). If any of these advertising agencies and advertisers terminate or reduce their use of Innovid’s products, its revenue or specific solutions may be negatively impacted.
If the use of digital advertising is rejected by consumers, through opt-in, opt-out or ad-blocking technologies or other means, it could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Consumers can, with increasing ease, implement technologies that limit Innovid’s ability to collect and use data to deliver advertisements, or otherwise limit the effectiveness of its platform. Cookies may be deleted or blocked by consumers. Cookies have not been available on iPhone, nor across Safari or Firefox browsers for several years and we anticipate that other browsers, including Google Chrome and others will follow suit. While such limitations have not, to date, impacted Innovid’s business as a result of Innovid’s cross-channel, cross-device dynamic creative campaigns, which are not solely reliant on cookies or device IDs, Innovid’s ability to continue to respond to changes in ad-blocking technologies will have an impact on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
To the extent cookies remain relevant to Innovid’s business, most commonly used internet browsers allow consumers to modify their browser settings to block first-party cookies (placed directly by the publisher or website owner that the consumer intends to interact with) or third-party cookies (placed by parties, like us, that have no direct relationship with the consumer), and some browsers block third-party cookies by default. For example, Apple recently announced its intention to move to “opt-in” privacy models, requiring users to voluntarily choose to receive targeted ads, which may reduce the value of ad impressions on its iOS mobile application platform. Many applications and other devices allow consumers to avoid receiving advertisements by paying for subscriptions or other downloads. Mobile devices using Android and iOS operating systems limit the ability of cookies to track consumers while they are using applications other than their web browser on the device. As a consequence, fewer of Innovid’s cookies or publishers’ cookies may be set in browsers or be accessible in mobile devices, which may adversely affect Innovid’s business. Some consumers also download free or paid “ad blocking” software on their computers or mobile devices, not only for privacy reasons, but also to counteract the adverse effect advertisements can have on the consumer experience, including increased load times, data consumption, and screen overcrowding. Ad-blocking technologies and other global privacy controls may prevent some third-party cookies, or other tracking technologies, from being stored on a consumer’s computer or mobile device.
If more consumers adopt these measures, and Innovid’s alternative approaches prove unsuccessful, Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Ad-blocking technologies could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition if they reduce the volume, effectiveness or value of advertising. In addition, some ad blocking technologies block only ads that are targeted through use of third-party data, while allowing ads based on first-party data (i.e., data owned by the publisher). Even if ad blockers do not ultimately have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, investor concerns about ad blockers could cause Innovid’s stock price to decline.
If the ability to collect, use, and disclose data is limited by consumer tools, regulatory restrictions or technology limitations, certain advertising offerings could be impacted and Innovid’s business may be adversely affected.
As Innovid processes transactions through its platform, it collects large amounts of data about advertisements and where they are placed, such as advertiser preferences for media and advertising content. Innovid collects data on consumers that does not identify the individual, including browser, device location and characteristics, online browsing behavior, exposure to and interaction with advertisements, and inferential data about purchase intentions, and preferences. Innovid collects this data through various means, including from its own platform and measurement tracking capabilities. Innovid’s advertisers, publishers, and data providers may choose to provide Innovid with their proprietary data about consumers. Innovid aggregates this data and analyzes it in order to enhance its services, including the pricing, placement, and scheduling of advertisements.
24

As part of Innovid’s real-time analytics service offering, it also shares the data, or analyses based on it, with its advertisers. There are many technical challenges relating to Innovid’s ability to collect, aggregate and associate the data, and Innovid cannot assure that it will be able to do so effectively. Evolving regulatory standards could place restrictions on the collection, management, aggregation and use of information, which could result in a material increase in the cost of collecting or otherwise obtaining certain kinds of data and could limit the ways in which Innovid may use or disclose information. Internet users can, with increasing ease, implement practices or technologies that may limit Innovid’s ability to collect and use data to deliver advertisements, or otherwise inhibit the effectiveness of its platform. Although Innovid’s advertisers generally permit it to aggregate and use data from advertising placements, subject to certain restrictions, advertisers might decide to restrict Innovid’s collection or use of their data. Any limitations on this ability could impair Innovid’s ability to deliver certain advertising offerings, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If the use of third-party “cookies,” mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies is restricted without similar or better alternatives, certain offerings could be impacted and Innovid’s business may be adversely affected.
Innovid uses “cookies,” or small text files placed on consumer devices when an internet browser is used, as well as mobile device identifiers, to gather data that enables its platform to be more effective. Innovid’s cookies and mobile device IDs do not identify consumers directly, but record information such as when a consumer views or clicks on an advertisement, when a consumer uses a mobile app, the consumer’s location, and browser or other device information. Publishers, advertisers and partners may also choose to share their information about consumers’ interests or give Innovid permission to use their cookies and mobile device IDs. Without cookies, mobile device IDs, and other tracking technology data, transactions processed through Innovid’s platform would be executed with less insight into consumer activity, reducing the precision of advertisers’ decisions about which impressions to purchase for an advertising campaign. This could make placement of advertising through Innovid’s platform less valuable, and harm its revenue. If Innovid’s ability to use cookies, mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies is limited, it may be required to develop or obtain additional applications and technologies to compensate for the lack of cookies, mobile device IDs and other tracking technology data, which could be time consuming or costly to develop, less effective, and subject to additional regulation.
Market pressure may reduce Innovid’s revenue per impression.
Innovid’s revenue may be affected by market changes, new demands by advertisers, and competitors and we may need to change our pricing models to compete successfully. Innovid’s solutions may be priced too high or too low, either of which may carry adverse consequences. Innovid may receive requests from agencies and advertisers for volume discounts, fee revisions, and rebates. Any of these developments could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, or financial condition. Any failure of Innovid’s pricing approaches to gain acceptance could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid must scale its platform infrastructure to support anticipated growth and transaction volume. If Innovid fails to do so, it may limit its ability to process ad impressions, and it may lose revenue.
Innovid’s business depends on processing ad impressions in milliseconds, and it must handle an increasingly large volume of such transactions. The addition of new solutions, such as header bidding in mobile and the CTV and OTT formats, support for evolving advertising formats, handling, and use of increasing amounts of data, and overall growth in impressions, place growing demands upon Innovid’s platform infrastructure. If Innovid is unable to grow its platform to support substantial increases in the number of transactions and in the amount of data it processes, on a high-performance, cost-effective basis, its business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Innovid expects to continue to invest in its platform in order to meet these requirements, and that investment may adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If advertisers, publishers and data providers do not obtain the necessary and requisite consents from consumers for Innovid to process their personal data, Innovid could be subject to fines and liability.
Because Innovid does not have direct relationships with consumers, it relies on advertisers, publishers and data providers, as applicable, to obtain the consent of the consumer on its behalf to process their data and deliver interest-based advertisements, and to implement any notice or choice mechanisms required under applicable laws, but if advertisers, publishers, or data providers do not follow this process (including as the legal requirements in this area continue to evolve and develop), Innovid could be subject to fines and liability. Innovid may not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnity arrangements to protect itself against any such claims and losses.
25

Advertisements on websites, applications and other digital media properties of publishers serviced through Innovid’s platform are viewed by consumers visiting the publishers’ digital media properties. Publishers often have terms of use in place with their consumers that disclaim or limit their potential liabilities to consumers, or pursuant to which consumers waive rights to bring class actions against the publishers. Innovid generally does not have terms of use in place with such consumers, so it cannot disclaim or limit potential liabilities to them through terms of use, which may expose it to greater liabilities than certain of its competitors.
Innovid faces intense and increasing competition for employee talent, and if it does not retain and continue to attract highly skilled talent or retain its senior management team and other key employees, it may not be able to sustain its growth or achieve its business objectives.
Innovid is led by a strong management team that has extensive experience leading technology and digital marketing companies. Innovid’s success and future growth depends to a significant degree on the leadership, knowledge, skills and continued services of its senior management team and other key personnel. The loss of any of these persons could adversely affect Innovid’s business.
Innovid’s future success also depends on its ability to retain, attract and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, and customer service personnel. Innovid expects to continue its growth in the near term. Innovid may incur significant costs to attract and retain qualified employees, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation expenses related to equity awards. New employees often require significant training and Innovid may lose new or existing employees to its competitors or other companies before it realizes the benefit of its investment in recruiting and training them. Competition for personnel is intense, particularly in the technology and software industries. A substantial majority of Innovid’s workforce are at-will employees, and Innovid may experience a loss of productivity due to the departure of key personnel and the associated loss of institutional knowledge. Innovid’s inability to retain and attract the necessary personnel could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Seasonal fluctuations in advertising activity could have a negative impact on Innovid’s revenue, cash flow and operating results.
Innovid’s revenue, cash flow, operating results and other key operating and performance metrics may vary from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of its customers spending on advertising campaigns. For example, advertisers typically allocate the largest portion of their media budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. As a result, the fourth quarter of the year typically reflects Innovid’s highest level of measurement activity while the first quarter reflects the lowest level of such activity. Innovid’s historical revenue growth has masked the impact of seasonality, but if its growth rate declines or seasonal spending becomes more pronounced, seasonality could have a more significant impact on its revenue, cash flow and operating results from period to period.
Innovid is subject to payment-related risks, and if its ability to accurately and timely collect payments is impaired, it’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Innovid has a large and diverse customer and integration partner base. At any given time, one or more of Innovid’s customers or partners may experience financial difficulty, file for bankruptcy protection or cease operations. Unfavorable economic and financial conditions could result in an increase in customer financial difficulties which could adversely affect Innovid. The direct impact on Innovid could include reduced revenue and write-offs of accounts receivable and expenditures billable to customers, and if these effects were severe enough, the indirect impact could include impairments of intangible assets and reduced liquidity. Furthermore, the payment risks Innovid faces are heightened since some of the media agencies with which Innovid deals collect payments from their advertiser customers and then remit to Innovid such amounts on behalf of those advertiser customers, each of whom is subject to independent billing and payment risks as well. Although no core client (brand/advertiser) accounted for more than 17% of Innovid’s revenue in 2023, our approximately 177 core clients accounted for about 90% of Innovid’s total revenue in 2023.
26

Any interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data center hosting facilities, cloud computing platform providers and other hardware and software vendors, or disruptions from Innovid’s inability to adequately plan for and manage service failures or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery of Innovid’s services and harm its business.
Innovid currently serves its customers from third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud computing platform providers located in the United States and Europe. Innovid also relies on computer hardware purchased or leased, if any, from, software licensed from, and cloud computing platforms provided by, third parties in order to offer its services, including database software, hardware and data from a variety of vendors. Any disruption or damage to, or failure of Innovid’s systems generally, including the systems of its third-party platform providers, could result in interruptions in its services. Innovid has from time to time experienced interruptions in its services and such interruptions may occur in the future. Also, Innovid may contract with other third-party data centers outside of the United States and Europe, which may carry risks that Innovid does not, or may not be able to, anticipate. As Innovid increases its reliance on these third-party systems, particularly with respect to third-party cloud computing platforms, its exposure to damage from service interruptions may increase.
Innovid does not control the operation of any of these facilities, and it may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. Innovid may also be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct, as well as local administrative actions (including shelter-in-place or similar orders), changes to legal or permitting requirements and litigation to stop, limit or delay operation. Despite precautions taken at these facilities, such as disaster recovery and business continuity arrangements, the occurrence of a natural disaster or pandemic (including the COVID-19 pandemic), an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in Innovid’s services.
These hardware, software, data and cloud computing platforms may not continue to be available at reasonable prices, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these hardware, software or cloud computing platforms could significantly increase Innovid’s expenses and otherwise result in delays of its services until equivalent technology is either developed by Innovid, or is obtained through purchase or license and integrated into Innovid’s services.
Additionally, improving Innovid’s platform’s infrastructure and expanding its capacity in anticipation of growth in new channels and formats, as well as implementing technological enhancements to its platform to improve its efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key components of its business strategy, and if Innovid’s data centers are unable to keep up with its growing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on its business. Any changes in third-party service levels at Innovid’s data centers or any errors, defects, disruptions, or other performance problems could adversely affect its reputation, expose it to liability, cause it to lose customers, or otherwise adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Service interruptions might reduce Innovid’s revenue, trigger refunds, subject Innovid to potential liability, or adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If Innovid does not accurately plan for its infrastructure capacity requirements and it experiences significant strains on its data center capacity, its clients could experience performance degradation or service outages that may subject Innovid to financial liabilities, result in customer losses and harm its reputation and business. As Innovid adds data centers and capacity and continues to move to cloud computing platform providers, it may move or transfer its data and its customers’ data. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the delivery of Innovid’s services, which may damage its business.
27

Innovid’s software platform could be susceptible to errors, defects, or unintended performance problems that could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid depends upon the sustained and uninterrupted performance of its platform to operate its business. Software bugs, faulty algorithms, technical or infrastructure problems, or system updates could lead to an inability to process data to place advertisements or price inventory effectively, or cause advertisements to display improperly or be placed in proximity to inappropriate content, which could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. These risks are compounded by the complexity of Innovid’s technology and the large amounts of data Innovid utilizes. Because Innovid’s software is complex, undetected material defects, errors and failures may occur. Despite testing, errors or bugs in Innovid’s software may not be found until the software is in its live operating environment. Errors or failures in Innovid’s solution, even if caused by the implementation of changes by advertisers, publishers, or partners to their systems, could also result in negative publicity, damage to its reputation, loss of or delay in market acceptance of its solution, increased costs, loss of revenue or loss of competitive position. In such an event, Innovid may be required or choose to expend additional resources to help mitigate any problems resulting from defects, errors and failures in its software. As a result, defects or errors in Innovid’s products or services could harm its reputation, result in significant costs, impair the ability of advertisers to sell and impair its ability to fulfill obligations with its clients. Any significant interruptions could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If CTV, mobile devices or their operating systems and Internet browsers develop in ways that prevent advertisements from being delivered to consumers, Innovid’s business, results of operations and financial condition generally, could be adversely affected.
Innovid’s success in the mobile advertising industry depends upon the ability of its platform to provide advertising for mobile connected devices, the major operating systems or internet browsers that run on them, and the thousands of applications that are downloaded onto them. The design of mobile devices and operating systems or browsers is controlled by third parties that may also introduce new devices and operating systems or modify existing ones, and network carriers may affect Innovid’s ability to access specified content on mobile devices. For example, Apple recently announced its intent to eliminate the Identifier for advertisers, which Innovid and other advertising firms have used to deliver targeted advertisements to consumers.
While the effects of this development are uncertain and would not prevent Innovid from operating its header bidding technology on Apple products, it could reduce the value of the ad impressions it offers. If Innovid’s platform cannot operate effectively with popular devices, operating systems or Internet browsers, including Apple devices and iOS, its business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Also, as online video advertising continues to scale and evolve, the amount of online video advertising being bought and sold programmatically has increased dramatically. The online video advertising market continues to grow with the increased popularity of CTV. However, despite the opportunities created by programmatic advertising, programmatic solutions for CTV and OTT publishers are still nascent compared to desktop and mobile video solutions. Many CTV publishers have backgrounds in cable or broadcast television and have limited experience with digital advertising, and in particular programmatic advertising. For these publishers, it is extremely important to protect the quality of the viewer experience to maintain brand goodwill and ensure online advertising efforts do not create sales channel conflicts or otherwise detract from their direct sales force. In this regard, programmatic advertising presents a number of potential challenges, including the ability to ensure ads are brand safe, comply with business rules around competitive separation, are not overly repetitive, are played at the appropriate volume, and do not cause delays in load-time of content. Innovid believes its platform is well-positioned to allow publishers the opportunity to achieve these goals and also reliably achieve “ad potting,” or the placement of the desired number of advertisements in commercial breaks. While Innovid believes programmatic advertising will continue to grow as a percentage of overall CTV advertising, there can be no assurance that CTV publishers will adopt programmatic solutions such as Innovid’s, or the rate at which they may adopt such solutions, which could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The market in which Innovid participates is intensely competitive, and it may not be able to compete successfully with its current or future competitors.
Innovid’s industry and business is subject to rapid and frequent changes in technology, evolving client demands and frequent competitors with new and enhanced offerings. Innovid competes for both supply and demand with larger, well-established companies that may have technological advantages stemming from their experience in the market. Innovid’s future success will depend on its ability to continuously enhance and improve its offerings to meet client needs and address technological and industry advancements. If Innovid is unable to enhance its solutions to meet market demand in a timely manner, it may not be able to maintain its existing clients or attract new clients. Innovid has made, and intends to continue to make, substantial investments in order to further advance its brand and scale its technology capabilities. However, these investments are inherently risky and may not be successful. Addressing broader marketing and monetization goals, is relatively new to Innovid and it has had to invest in substantial resources to adapt its model, pricing and organization to support this expansion. Similarly, Innovid does not have a long or established track record of competing successfully in this space. If Innovid is not successful in expanding its solutions along broader marketing goals, its results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, Innovid believes the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in its market increases. However, if Innovid is unable to continuously enhance and improve its offerings, it may be unable to respond effectively to changes in its industry, technology or user preferences, and its solutions may become less competitive or obsolete. Furthermore, brand promotion activities may not yield any increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses Innovid incurred in building its brand.
Innovid’s business depends on the overall demand for advertising and on the economic health of Innovid’s current and prospective advertisers. The market for digital advertising solutions is highly competitive and rapidly changing. New technologies and methods of advertising present a dynamic competitive challenge as market participants develop and offer multiple new products and services aimed at facilitating and/or capturing advertising spending. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new entrants to the market, including large established companies and companies that Innovid does not yet know about or do not yet exist, Innovid expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to increase sales and maintain its profitability. Large and established internet and technology companies may have the power to significantly change the very nature of the digital advertising marketplaces in ways that could materially disadvantage Innovid. These companies could leverage their positions to make changes to their web browsers, mobile operating systems, platforms, exchanges, networks or other solutions or services that could be significantly harmful to Innovid’s business and results of operations.
These companies also have significantly larger resources than Innovid does, and in many cases have advantageous competitive positions in popular products and services like Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, Facebook and Instagram, which they can use to their advantage. Furthermore, Innovid’s competitors include large and established internet and technology companies that have invested substantial resources in innovation, which could lead to technological advancements that change the competitive dynamics of Innovid’s business in ways that it may not be able to predict. Competition could also hinder the success of new advertising solutions that Innovid offers in the future. If any of these risks were to materialize, Innovid’s ability to compete effectively could be significantly compromised and its results of operations could be harmed. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for Innovid to sell its offerings and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced gross margins, increased sales and marketing expense and/or the loss of market share.
Innovid relies on advertisers and publishers to abide by contractual requirements and relevant laws, rules, and regulations when using its platform. Legal claims or enforcement actions resulting from their actions could expose Innovid to liabilities, damage its reputation, and be costly to defend. In addition, in certain instances Innovid’s campaigns are dependent upon the performance of third-parties hired by its clients. Any failure of such parties to meet expected performance benchmarks could have a negative impact on the success of Innovid’s services.
The advertisers and publishers engaging in transactions through Innovid’s platform impose various requirements upon each other, and Innovid and the underlying advertisers are subject to regulatory requirements by governments and standards bodies applicable to their activities. Innovid may assume responsibility for satisfying or facilitating the satisfaction of some of these requirements through the contracts it enters into with advertisers or publishers transacting business through its platform under applicable laws, regulations or common law duties, even if Innovid has not assumed responsibility contractually. These responsibilities could expose Innovid to significant liabilities, perhaps without the ability to impose effective mitigating controls upon, or to recover from, advertisers and publishers and our contractual indemnities and limitations of liability may not protect us adequately.
29

Innovid contractually requires its advertisers, publishers and data providers to abide by relevant laws, rules and regulations, and restrictions by their counterparties, when transacting on Innovid’s platform, and it generally attempts to obtain representations from advertisers that the advertising they place through its platform complies with applicable laws and regulations and does not violate third-party intellectual property rights. Innovid also generally receives representations from advertisers, publishers and data providers about their data privacy practices and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including their maintenance of adequate privacy policies that disclose and permit Innovid’s data collection practices. Nonetheless, there are many circumstances in which it is difficult or impossible for Innovid to monitor or evaluate its compliance. For example, Innovid cannot control the content of advertisers and/or publisher’s media properties.
If advertisers, publishers or data providers fail to abide by relevant laws, rules and regulations, or contract requirements when transacting over Innovid’s platform or after such a transaction is completed, or if such parties fail to provide proper notice to and obtain proper consent from individuals that permit Innovid’s data collection practices where applicable, Innovid could potentially face liability to consumers for such misuse. Further, Innovid could face potential liability to consumers in the event such parties engage in malicious activities, such as the introduction of malware into consumers’ computers through advertisements served through Innovid’s platform, and code that redirects consumers to sites other than the ones consumers sought to visit, potentially resulting in malware downloads or use charges from the redirect site. Advertisers often have terms of use in place with their consumers that disclaim or limit their potential liabilities to such consumers, or pursuant to which consumers waive rights to bring class-action lawsuits against the publishers related to advertisements, which could make Innovid a more likely target for certain lawsuits. Similarly, if such misconduct results in enforcement action by a regulatory body or other governmental authority, Innovid could become involved in a potentially time-consuming and costly investigation, or it could be subject to some form of sanction or penalty and face reputational damage. Innovid may not have adequate indemnities to protect itself against, and its policies of insurance may not cover, all such claims and losses.
If advertisers or publishers or data providers do not have sufficient rights to the content, technology, data or other material that they provide or make available to Innovid, Innovid’s business and reputation may be harmed.
If advertisers or publishers or data providers do not have sufficient rights to the content, technology, data, or other material that they provide or make available to Innovid or if they subsequently lose such rights, or if it infringes or is alleged to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, Innovid could be subject to claims from those third parties, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, channel partners may aggregate ad impressions across several publishers, and Innovid may not be able to verify that these aggregators own or have rights to all of their digital ad impressions. As a result, Innovid may face potential liability for copyright, patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement, or other claims. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. While Innovid does include indemnity provisions covering customer content in its service agreements, it can provide no assurance that it is adequately insured to cover claims related to customer content or that its indemnification provisions will be adequate to mitigate all liability that may be imposed on it as a result of claims related to customer content.
Innovid’s platform relies on third-party open source software components. Failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could expose Innovid to liabilities, and the combination of open source software with code that it develops could compromise the proprietary nature of its platform.
Innovid’s platform utilizes software licensed to it by third-party authors under “open source” licenses, and Innovid expects to continue to utilize open source software in the future. The use of open source software may entail greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. To the extent that Innovid’s platform depends upon the successful operation of the open source software it uses, any undetected errors or defects in this open source software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of Innovid’s platform, delay new solutions introductions, result in a failure of its platform, and injure its reputation. For example, undetected errors or defects in open source software could render Innovid vulnerable to breaches or security attacks, and, in conjunction, make its systems more vulnerable to data breaches. Furthermore, some open source licenses contain requirements that Innovid make available source code for modifications or derivative works Innovid creates based upon the type of open source software Innovid uses. If Innovid combines its proprietary software with open source software in a specific manner, it could, under some open source licenses, be required to release the source code of its proprietary software to the public. This would allow Innovid’s competitors to create similar solutions with lower development effort and time and ultimately put Innovid at a competitive disadvantage.
30

Although Innovid monitors its use of open source software, it cannot be sure that the process for controlling the use of open source software in its platform will be effective. If Innovid is held to have breached the terms of an open source software license, it could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue operating using its solutions on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer its solutions or the supporting computational infrastructure, to discontinue use of the code or to make generally available, in source code form, portions of its proprietary code.
Innovid’s business is subject to the risk of catastrophic events such as pandemics, earthquakes, flooding, fire, and power outages, and to interruption by man-made problems such as terrorism.
Innovid’s business is vulnerable to damage or interruption from pandemics, earthquakes, flooding, fire, power outages, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, human errors, break-ins and similar events. In particular, a pandemic such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, including the reactions of governments, markets, and the general public,could result in a number of adverse consequences for Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, many of which would be beyond Innovid’s control. A significant natural disaster could have a material adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, and Innovid’s insurance coverage may be insufficient to compensate Innovid for losses that may occur. In addition, acts of terrorism, which may be targeted at metropolitan areas that have higher population density than rural areas, could cause disruptions in Innovid’s or its customers businesses or the economy as a whole. Innovid may also be subject to cyber security incidents – see “Risks Relating to Information Technology, Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property—System failures, security breaches, or cyberattacks could interrupt the operation of Innovid’s platform and data centers and significantly harm its business, financial condition and results of operations” below for more details. Innovid may not have sufficient protection or recovery plans in some circumstances, such as natural disasters affecting areas in which it operates. As Innovid relies heavily on technology such as computers, communications systems and the Internet to conduct its business and provide high-quality customer service, these disruptions could negatively impact Innovid’s ability to run its business and either directly or indirectly disrupt its customers businesses, which could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Innovid relies on integrations with demand- and supply-side advertising platforms, ad servers and social platform over which we exercise very limited control. A decrease in demand for advertising and public criticism of digital advertising technology in the US and internationally, could adversely affect the demand for and use of Innovid’s solutions.
Innovid’s business depends, in part, on the demand for digital advertising technology. The digital advertising industry has been and may in the future be subject to reputational harm, negative media attention and public complaint relating to, among other things, the alleged lack of transparency and anti-competitive behavior among advertising technology companies. This public criticism could result in increased data privacy and anti-trust regulation in the digital advertising industry in the US and internationally. In addition, Innovid’s services are delivered in web browsers, mobile apps and other software environments where online advertising is displayed, and certain of these environments have announced future plans to phase out or end the use of cookies and other third-party tracking technology on their operating systems in order to provide more consumer data privacy. While Innovid’s technology and solutions do not rely on persistent identifiers or cookie-based or cross-site tracking, these changes and other updates to software functionality in these environments could hurt Innovid’s ability to effectively deliver its services.
Innovid may not be able to accurately predict changes in overall advertiser demand for the channels in which it operates, and cannot assure that its investment in formats will correspond to any such changes. Advertisers may change the fees they charge users or otherwise change their business model in a manner that slows the widespread acceptance of advertisements. In order for Innovid’s services to be successful, there must be a large base of advertisers to deliver content. Innovid has limited or no control over the availability or acceptance of those advertisements, and any change in the licensing terms, costs, availability or user acceptance of these advertisements could adversely affect its business. Any decrease in the use of mobile, display, and video advertising, whether due to customers losing confidence in the value or effectiveness of such channels, regulatory restrictions, public criticism or other causes, or any inability to further penetrate CTV or enter new and emerging advertising channels, could adversely affect Innovid’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any change or decrease in the demand for digital advertising, including on social media platforms as a result of avoidance campaigns or similar events, may negatively affect the demand for and use of Innovid’s solutions. If Innovid’s customers significantly reduce or eliminate their digital ad spend in response to the public criticism of the digital advertising industry or its related effects, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
31

Innovid’s international operations and expansion expose it to several risks.
Innovid’s current global operations and future initiatives involve a variety of risks, including, in addition to risks described elsewhere in this section:
operational and execution risk, including localization of the product interface and systems, translation into foreign languages, adaptation for local practices, adequate coordination of timing to onboard local clients and advertisers, difficulty of maintaining Innovid’s corporate culture, challenges inherent to hiring and efficiently managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, and the increasing complexity of the organizational structure required to support expansion and operations into multiple geographies and regulatory systems;
insufficient, or insufficiently coordinated, demand for and supply of advertising inventory in specific geographic markets, which could impair Innovid’s ability to accurately predict user engagement in that market;
compliance with (and liability for failure to comply with) applicable local laws and regulations, including, among other things, laws and regulations with respect to data protection, data/user privacy, tax and withholding, labor regulations, anti-corruption, consumer protection, spam and content, which laws and regulations may be inconsistent across jurisdictions;
intensity of local competition for digital advertising budgets and internet display inventory;
changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions. For example, we have one of our four main offices in Tel Aviv. The Israeli government is currently pursuing extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system and in response to this, certain leading international financial institutions, including investment banks, investors and key economists, have indicated several causes for concern, including that such proposed changes, if adopted, may cause a downgrade to Israel’s sovereign credit rating and Israel’s international standing, which would adversely affect the macroeconomic condition in which we operate as we have extensive operations in Israel, and also potentially deter foreign investment into Israel, which may hinder our ability to raise additional funds;
armed conflicts around the world, such as those in Ukraine and Israel, as well as the global response to such conflicts, including the imposition of sanctions by the United States and other countries, could create or exacerbate risks facing our business. Restrictive laws and policies as well as campaigns of boycotts, divestment or sanctions that may be taken against any country in which we conduct our business operations could adversely affect our business.
risks related to pricing structure, payment and currency, including aligning Innovid’s pricing model and payment terms with local norms, higher levels of credit risk and payment fraud, difficulties in invoicing and collecting in foreign currencies and associated foreign currency exposure, restrictions on foreign ownership and investments, and difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from or converting; currencies; and
limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection.
Innovid currently operates in Europe through a subsidiary located in the United Kingdom and may expand to other global regions including China, other South Asian countries as well as Latin America. The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU (“Brexit”) may continue adversely to affect economic conditions in the United Kingdom, EU and elsewhere across the globe, and could contribute to volatility in foreign exchange markets with respect to the British Pound and Euro, which Innovid may not be able to effectively manage, and its financial results could be adversely affected. Further, Brexit may add additional complexity to potential European operations. Accordingly, Innovid cannot predict the additional expense, impact on revenue, or other business impact that may stem from Brexit. Additionally, operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. Innovid cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required in establishing operations in other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability. Foreign currency exchange risk exposure also arises from intra-company transactions and financing with subsidiaries that have a functional currency different than the euro. While Innovid may engage in hedging transactions to minimize the impact of uncertainty in future exchange rates on intra-company transactions and financing, it may not hedge all of its foreign currency exchange rate risk. In addition, hedging transactions, to the extent Innovid may engage in hedging, carries its own risks and costs, and could expose it to additional risks that could harm its financial condition and operating results.
32

Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against it, could materially and adversely affect our business.
The current conflict in Israel, as well as the global response to such conflict, could create or exacerbate risks facing our business. We have evaluated our operations, vendor contracts and customer arrangements, and to date we our business not been materially adversely affected and at present we do not expect the hostilities to have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, if the hostilities escalate or expand, risks we have identified in this report may be exacerbated. For example, a number of our officers, directors and employees are residents of Israel, and because of this our business and operations may be directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions in Israel where we have certain research and development operations primarily related to our ad serving product. Our research and development timelines have not to date been materially adversely affected.
Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could materially affect Innovid’s effective tax rates, financial position and results of operations.
We are subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions as a result of the international scope of our operations and our corporate entity structure. Any adverse development in the tax law of any of these jurisdictions or any disagreement with our tax positions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The tax regimes Innovid is subject to or operates under may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws or changes in interpretations of existing laws could cause Innovid to be subject to additional income-based taxes and non-income based taxes (such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, digital services and excise, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes), which in turn could materially affect Innovid’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, many countries in the EU, as well as a number of other countries and organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, have recently proposed or recommended changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws that could impact Innovid’s tax obligations. Any significant changes to Innovid’s future effective tax rate may materially and adversely affect Innovid’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Innovid could be required to collect additional sales, value added or similar taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may adversely affect its results of operations.
One or more countries or US states may seek to impose incremental or new sales, value added taxes or use or other tax collection obligations on Innovid. An increasing number of states have considered or adopted laws that impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies. This is also the case in respect of the EU, where value added taxes may be imposed on non-EU companies making digital sales to consumers within the EU. In addition, the US Supreme Court ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., or Wayfair, that online sellers can be required to collect sales and use tax despite not having a physical presence in the customer’s state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, state and local governments may adopt, or begin to enforce, laws requiring Innovid to calculate, collect and remit sales taxes in their jurisdictions. Similarly, many foreign jurisdictions have considered or adopted laws that impose value added, digital services or similar indirect taxes on companies despite not having a physical presence in the foreign jurisdiction.
A successful assertion by one or more states, or other countries or jurisdictions, requiring Innovid to collect taxes where it presently does not do so, or to collect more taxes in a jurisdiction in which it currently collects some taxes, could result in substantial liabilities, including taxes on past sales as well as penalties and interest. Innovid continually monitors the ever-evolving tax landscape in the jurisdictions in which it operates and those jurisdictions where its customers reside. The requirement to collect sales, value added or similar indirect taxes by foreign, state or local governments for sellers that do not have a physical presence in the jurisdiction could also create additional administrative burdens for Innovid, put it at a competitive disadvantage if they do not impose similar obligations on its competitors or decrease its future sales, which may materially and adversely affect its business and results of operations.
Innovid may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.
Innovid’s income tax obligations are based in part on its corporate operating structure and intercompany arrangements. The tax laws applicable to Innovid’s business, including the laws of the US and other jurisdictions, are subject to interpretation, and certain jurisdictions are aggressively interpreting their laws in new ways in an effort to raise additional tax revenue. Innovid’s existing corporate structure and intercompany arrangements have been implemented in a manner Innovid believes is in compliance with current prevailing tax laws. However, the taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which Innovid operates may challenge Innovid’s methodologies for intercompany arrangements, which could impact Innovid’s worldwide effective tax rate and harm its financial position and results of operations. In addition, changes to Innovid’s corporate structure and intercompany agreements, including through acquisitions, could impact Innovid’s worldwide effective tax rate and harm its financial position and results of operation.
33

Innovid may not be able to effectively integrate the businesses it acquires, which may adversely affect its ability to achieve its growth and business objectives.
Innovid explores, on an ongoing basis, potential acquisitions of additional businesses, products, solutions, technologies or teams. If Innovid identifies an appropriate acquisition candidate, it may not be successful in negotiating the terms and/or financing of the acquisition, and its due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business, product, solution or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or architecture, employees or clients, regulatory compliance practices or revenue recognition or other accounting practices. Any acquisition or investment may require Innovid to use significant amounts of cash, issue potentially dilutive equity securities or incur debt, contingent liabilities or amortization of expenses, or impairment of goodwill and/or purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could harm its financial condition or results. In addition, acquisitions, including Innovid’s recent acquisitions, involve numerous risks, any of which could harm its business, including:
difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of acquired businesses, especially if those businesses operate outside of Innovid’s core competency;
the need to integrate operations across different geographies, cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries;
cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into Innovid’s organization;
ineffectiveness, lack of scalability or incompatibility of acquired technologies or services;
potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses;
inability to maintain the key business relationships and the reputation of acquired businesses;
failure to successfully further develop the acquired technology in order to recoup Innovid’s investment;
unfavorable reputation and perception of the acquired product or technology by the general public;
diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
liability or litigation for activities of the acquired business, including claims from terminated employees, clients, former shareholders or other third parties;
implementation or remediation of controls, practices, procedures and policies at acquired businesses, including the costs necessary to establish and maintain effective internal controls; and
increased fixed costs.
There can be no assurance that Innovid will be able to successfully integrate the businesses that it acquires or that it will be able to leverage the acquired commercial relationships, products or technologies in the manner it anticipates. If Innovid is unable to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired or any business, product, solution or technology it acquires in the future, its business and results of operations could suffer, and it may not be able to achieve its business and growth objectives.
Innovid has substantial client concentration in certain local markets and solutions, with a limited number of clients accounting for a substantial portion of its revenue in those areas.
Although Innovid’s overall customer base is well-diversified, in certain of its local markets and specific solutions, it derives a substantial portion of revenue from a limited number of clients. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of revenue within any specific market or solution are concentrated within a limited number of clients. Innovid cannot predict the future level of demand for its services and products that will be generated by these clients. In addition, revenue from these clients may fluctuate from time to time. Further, some of Innovid’s contracts with these clients may permit them to terminate use of its products at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions). If any of these clients terminate or reduce use of Innovid’s products, its revenue within local markets or specific solutions may be negatively impacted.
34

Innovid experiences fluctuations in its results of operations due to a number of factors, which make Innovid’s future results difficult to predict and could cause its operating results to fall below expectations or guidance.
Innovid’s quarterly and annual results of operations fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control. As a result, comparing Innovid’s results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. Fluctuations in Innovid’s results of operations could cause its performance to fall below the expectations of analysts and investors, and adversely affect the price of its services. Innovid’s past results are not an indication of its future performance. Factors that may affect Innovid’s quarterly results of operations include:
the nature of Innovid’s clients’ products or services, including the seasonal nature of its clients’ advertising spending;
lengthy implementation cycles resulting in substantial expenses incurred without any guarantee of revenue generation;
demand for Innovid’s offering and the size, scope and timing of digital advertising campaigns;
the relative lack of long-term agreements with Innovid’s clients and advertisers;
client and advertisers retention rates;
market acceptance of Innovid’s offering and future solutions and services (i) in current industry verticals and new industry verticals, (ii) in new geographic markets, (iii) in new advertising channels, or (iv) for broader marketing goals;
the timing of large expenditures related to expansion into new solutions, new geographic markets, new industry verticals, acquisitions and/or capital projects;
the timing of adding support for new digital devices, platforms and operating systems;
Innovid’s clients’ budgeting cycles;
changes in the competitive dynamics of Innovid’s industry, including consolidation among competitors;
consumers’ response to Innovid’s clients’ advertisements, to online advertising in general and to tracking technologies for targeted or behavioral advertising purposes;
Innovid’s ability to control costs, including its operating expenses;
network outages, errors in Innovid’s technology or security breaches and any associated expense and collateral effects;
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as some of Innovid’s foreign sales and costs are denominated in its local currencies;
failure to successfully manage any acquisitions; and
general economic and political conditions in Innovid’s domestic and international markets.
As a result, Innovid may have a limited ability to forecast the amount of future revenue and expense, and its results of operations may from time to time fall below its estimates or the expectations of public market analysts and investors.
Risks Relating to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation
Innovid is subject to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and similar laws and non-compliance with such laws can subject it to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm its business and reputation.
Innovid is subject to anti-bribery and similar laws, such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practice Act of 1977 (“FCPA”), the US domestic bribery statute contained in 18 USC. § 201, the USA PATRIOT Act, US Travel Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and possibly other anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which it conducts activities. Anti-corruption laws have been enforced with great rigor in recent years and are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees and their agents from making or offering improper payments or other benefits to government officials and others in the private sector. The FCPA or other applicable anti-corruption laws may also hold Innovid liable for acts of corruption or bribery committed by its third-party business partners, representatives, and agents, even if Innovid does not authorize such activities. As Innovid increases its international sales and business, and increases its use of third parties, Innovid’s risks under these laws will increase.
35

Innovid operates in jurisdictions that present a high risk for bribery and corruption according to the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, and Innovid’s current policies and procedures may not be sufficient to mitigate Innovid’s anti-corruption risks. As a public company, the FCPA separately requires that Innovid keep accurate books and records and maintain internal accounting controls sufficient to assure management’s control, authority, and responsibility over its assets. Innovid has adopted policies and procedures and conducted training designed to prevent improper payments and other corrupt practices prohibited by applicable laws, but cannot guarantee that improprieties will not occur. Noncompliance with these laws could subject Innovid to investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension and/or debarment from contracting with specified persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. Any investigations, actions, and/or sanctions could have an adverse effect on Innovid’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Innovid is subject to economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations and export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets or subject it to liability if it is not in compliance with applicable laws
Innovid is subject to various US export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations administered by the US Department of Commerce, and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including those administered by the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the US Department of State, and the US Department of Commerce (collectively, “Trade Controls”). US Trade Controls prohibit or restrict transactions and dealings, including the shipment of products and the provision of services to or involving certain countries, territories, governments, and persons. Although Innovid endeavors to conduct its business in compliance with Trade Controls, its failure to successfully comply may expose it to negative legal and business consequences, including civil or criminal penalties, governmental investigations, loss of export privileges, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, suspension and/or debarment from contracting with certain persons, adverse media coverage, and other reputational harm.
Furthermore, if Innovid exports its technology or software, such exports may require authorization from US regulators, including prior licensing from the US Department of Commerce or other appropriate government authorization. Obtaining such authorization and otherwise complying with Trade Controls may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of opportunities.
In addition, various countries regulate the import of encryption technology, including the imposition of import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit Innovid’s ability to offer its platform or could limit its customers’ ability to use Innovid’s platform in those countries. Changes in Innovid’s platform or future changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of Innovid’s platform in international markets or prevent Innovid’s customers with international operations from deploying its platform globally. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of Innovid’s platform by, or in its decreased ability to export its technology and services to, existing or potential customers. Any decreased use of Innovid’s platform or limitation on its ability to export its platform would likely adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting in the future we may not be able to accurately or timeously report our financial condition or results of operations.
If our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, it may adversely affect investor confidence in us and in the price of our common stock.
Failure to comply with applicable legislation and regulation on data privacy and data protection and changes in laws and regulations that result in changes to Innovid’s data collection and storage practices may adversely affect its business.
Privacy and data protection laws and regulation of digital advertising may cause Innovid to incur additional or unexpected costs, subject it to enforcement actions for compliance failures or cause it to change our platform or business model, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
36

There are a growing number of data privacy and protection laws and regulations in the digital advertising industry that apply to Innovid’s business. Innovid has dedicated, and expects to continue to dedicate, significant resources in its efforts to comply with such laws and regulations. For example, Innovid has implemented policies and procedures to comply with applicable data privacy laws and regulations, and relies on contractual representations made to it by customers and partners that the information they provide to it and their use of its solutions do not violate these laws and regulations or their own privacy policies. If Innovid’s customers’ and partners’ representations are false or inaccurate, or if its customers and partners do not otherwise comply with applicable privacy laws, Innovid could face adverse publicity and possible legal or regulatory action. Conversely, Innovid’s partners and communications services providers have adopted their own policies based on their own perceptions of legal requirements or other policy determinations, and these policies have in the past temporarily prevented Innovid, and may again in the future prevent it, from operating on their platforms and possibly result in loss of business or litigation. The application, interpretation and enforcement of data privacy and protection laws and regulations are often uncertain and continue to evolve, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which Innovid operates, and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently between states within a country or between countries, and Innovid’s current policies and practices may be found not to comply.
In the US, federal and state laws impose limits on, or requirements regarding the collection, distribution, use, security and storage of personal information of individuals. For example, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act applies to websites and other online services that collect personal information about children under 13 years of age. The FTC Act grants the FTC authority to enforce against unfair or deceptive practices, which the FTC has interpreted to require companies’ practices with respect to personal information comply with the commitments posted in their privacy policies. With respect to the use of personal information for direct marketing purposes, we may send short message service, or SMS, text messages which would be subject to the TCPA. The actual or perceived improper calling or sending of text messages may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws such as the TCPA. Further, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, establishes specific requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content, and obligates, among other things, the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the ability to opt out of receiving future commercial emails from the sender. Additionally, we are subject to laws, regulations and standards in the US covering marketing, advertising, cookies, tracking technologies, e-marketing, and other activities conducted by the internet, and regulation of cookies and similar technologies, and any use of cookies or similar online tracking technologies as a means to identify and potentially target users, may lead to broader restrictions and impairments on our services and may negatively impact our efforts to help our customers better understand their users. Regulatory attention in the US is driving increased attention to cookies and tracking technologies and privacy activists are referring non-compliant companies to regulators.

There has also been increased regulation of data privacy and security in the US particularly at the state level. For example, in 2018, California enacted the CCPA, which came into effect in January 2020 and places increased obligations on businesses. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. Further, in November 2020, California voters passed the CPRA, which significantly expands the CCPA. The CPRA took effect January 1, 2023 (and applies to data collected during the prior year), introduced additional obligations such as data minimization and storage limitations, granting additional rights to consumers, such as correction of personal information and additional opt-out rights, and creates a new entity, the California Privacy Protection Agency, to implement and enforce the law. The CCPA has marked the beginning of a trend toward more stringent state data privacy legislation in the US, which could increase Innovid’s potential liability and adversely affect its business, and has created the potential for a patchwork of overlapping but different state laws. For example, general privacy statutes similar to the CCPA are now in effect and enforceable in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, and similar statutes will soon be enforceable in several other states as well. Many other states are also currently reviewing or proposing the need for greater regulation of the collection, sharing, use and other processing of information related to individuals for marketing purposes or otherwise, and there remains increased interest at the federal level.

Further, foreign data privacy laws are also rapidly changing and have become more stringent in recent years. In the EEA and the UK, the EEA GDPR, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 impose strict obligations on the ability to collect, analyze, use, transfer and otherwise process personal data. This includes requirements with respect to accountability, transparency, obtaining individual consent, international data transfers, security and confidentiality and personal data breach notifications, which may restrict our processing activities. Separate, restrictive obligations relating to electronic marketing and the use of cookies which may limit our ability to advertise or analyze user behavior online. In the EU and UK, informed consent is required for the placement of most cookies or similar technologies on a user’s device and for direct electronic marketing. The EEA privacy laws on cookies and e-marketing are also subject to change as they are likely to be replaced by the European Commission’s Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications, or the ePrivacy Regulation. The ePrivacy Regulation may introduce more stringent requirements for using cookies and similar technologies for direct marketing and significantly increase fines for non-compliance in-line with the GDPR. In addition, there is an increasing regulatory focus on cookies in Europe recently following a recent court decision, privacy activists’ campaigns and various guidance issued by supervisory authorities, which has in some cases led to significant monetary penalties. If regulators start to enforce the strict approach in recent guidance, this could lead to substantial costs, require significant systems changes, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, divert the attention of our technology personnel, adversely affect our margins, increase costs, and subject us to additional liabilities.
Outside of the above mentioned jurisdictions, many countries and territories have laws, regulations, or other requirements relating to privacy, data protection, information security, data localization and consumer protection, and new countries and territories are adopting such legislation or other obligations with increasing frequency. For example, the PRC government has also introduced a wide range of laws and regulations on cybersecurity and data security in recent years, is evolving and may be subject to different interpretations or significant changes. Additionally, various regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations may continue to issue revised rules or guidance regarding data privacy and protection.

Innovid expects that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning data privacy, data protection, and information security in the United States and other jurisdictions at all levels of legislature, governance, and applicability. These federal, state and foreign laws and regulations, which in some cases can be enforced by private parties in addition to government entities, are increasingly restricting the collection, processing and use of personal data. Innovid continues to monitor changes in laws and regulations, and the costs of compliance with, and the other burdens imposed by, these and other new laws or regulatory actions increase our costs. Although Innovid takes reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, laws are constantly evolving, can be subject to significant change or interpretive application, and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another.
Any perception of Innovid’s practices, platform or solutions delivery as a violation of data privacy rights may subject it to public criticism, loss of customers or partners, loss of goodwill, class action lawsuits, reputational harm, or investigations or claims by regulators, industry groups or other third parties, any of which could significantly disrupt its business and expose it to liability in ways that negatively affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. Innovid or its third-party service providers could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in Innovid’s or its third-party service providers’ business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect Innovid’s or Innovid’s third-party service providers’ business, results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, failure or perceived failure to comply with these and other laws and regulations may result in, among other things, administrative enforcement actions and significant fines, individual or class action lawsuits, significant legal fees, and civil or criminal liability or we could be required to make changes to our business activities and practices. Any regulatory or civil action that is brought against Innovid, even if unsuccessful, may distract its management’s attention, divert its resources, negatively affect its public image or reputation among its customers and partners and within its industry, and, consequently, harm its business, results of operations and financial condition.
38

Legal uncertainty and industry unpreparedness for new regulations may mean substantial disruption and inefficiency, demand constraints, and reduced value.
Some of Innovid’s advertisers may be unprepared to comply with evolving regulatory guidance under the CCPA, CPRA, CDPA, GDPR, or other new regulations, and may therefore remove personal data from their inventory before passing it into the bid stream, at least temporarily. This may lower customer inventory, resulting in loss of ad spend and revenue for Innovid. Further, since Innovid does not have direct relationships with end users, it relies on advertisers to obtain such consents as required. Even well-prepared advertisers may be confronted with difficult choices and administrative and technical hurdles as they implement their compliance programs and integrate with multiple other parties in the ecosystem. While Innovid can and does provide training and guidance on compliance, the nature of the ecosystem and technology does not support 100% verification that consent from end users has been obtained, when required, and it may unknowingly pass on consumer personal information when it should not. This exposes Innovid to potential regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal and financial exposure. Additionally, data privacy and data protection laws are evolving, and it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with Innovid’s safeguards and practices that could result in fines, lawsuits and other penalties, and significant changes to its client’s businesses practices and inventory.
Further, compliance program design and implementation will be an ongoing process as understanding of new regulations increase and industry compliance standards evolve. The resulting process friction could result in substantial inefficiency and loss of inventory and demand, as well as increased burdens upon Innovid’s organization as it seeks to assist customers and adapt its own technology and processes as necessary to comply with the law and industry practice. The uncertain regulatory environment may disadvantage Innovid in comparison to large, integrated competitors such as Google and Facebook, which have greater compliance resources and can take advantage of their direct relationships with end users to secure consents. Changes in the business practices of such large integrated competitors could impose additional requirements with respect to the retention and security of Innovid’s handling or ability to handle customer and end user data, could limit its marketing and core business activities, and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Relating to Information Technology, Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property
An assertion from a third party that Innovid is infringing its intellectual property rights, whether such assertion is valid or not, could subject it to costly and time-consuming litigation, expensive licenses or other impacts to its business.
There is significant intellectual property development activity in the measurement and authentication of digital ads. Third-party intellectual property rights may cover significant aspects of Innovid’s technologies or business methods or block Innovid from expanding its platform and delivering new solutions, and it cannot be certain that its current operations do not infringe the rights of a third party. Innovid has on one occasion received and may in the future receive allegations and/or claims from third parties that Innovid’s technology infringes or violates such third parties’ intellectual property rights. The cost of defending against such claims, whether or not the claims have merit, is significant and could divert the attention of management, technical personnel and other employees from Innovid’s business operations. Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is inherently uncertain due to the complex issues involved, and Innovid may not be successful in defending itself in such matters.
Additionally, Innovid may be obligated to indemnify its customers or partners in connection with any such litigation. Intellectual property claims could harm Innovid’s relationships with its customers and deter future customers from buying its solutions or expose Innovid to litigation. If Innovid is found to infringe intellectual property rights, it could potentially be subject to injunctive or other relief that could affect Innovid’s ability to provide its solutions. Innovid may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology and may be unable to do so, or such development may require significant time and expense and may not be successful. In addition, Innovid could be required to pay royalty payments, either as a one-time fee or ongoing, as well as damages for past use that was deemed to be infringing. If Innovid cannot license or develop technology for any allegedly infringing aspect of its business, this may limit its platform and solutions, and Innovid may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results could adversely affect Innovid’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
39

Innovid’s intellectual property rights may be difficult to enforce and protect, which could enable others to copy or use aspects of its technology without compensation, thereby eroding its competitive advantages and having an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid relies upon a combination of trade secrets, third-party confidentiality, non-disclosure agreements, contractual restrictions on disclosure and use, and trademark, copyright, patent, and other intellectual property laws to establish and protect its proprietary technology and intellectual property rights. Innovid currently owns trademark registrations and applications for the “Innovid” name and variants thereof and other product-related marks in the United States and certain foreign countries. Innovid has also registered numerous Internet domain names related to its business.
Innovid also relies on copyright laws to protect computer programs related to its platform and its proprietary technologies, although to date Innovid has not registered for statutory copyright protection. In order to bring a copyright infringement lawsuit in the United States, the copyright must be registered. Accordingly, the remedies and damages available to Innovid for unauthorized use of its software may be limited. Some of Innovid’s proprietary technology, technology architecture, trade secrets and engineering roadmap have not been patented. As a result, Innovid cannot look to patent enforcement rights to protect some of Innovid’s proprietary technology. Furthermore, Innovid’s patent strategy is still in its early stages. Innovid may not be able to obtain any further patents, and Innovid’s pending application may not result in the issuance of a patent. Any issued patents may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, and any rights granted under these patents may not actually provide adequate defensive protection or competitive advantages to Innovid. Additionally, the process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and Innovid may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.
While it is Innovid’s policy to protect and defend its rights to its intellectual property, it cannot predict whether steps taken by it to protect its intellectual property will be adequate to prevent infringement, misappropriation, dilution, or other violations of its intellectual property rights. Third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe Innovid’s intellectual property rights, third parties may challenge intellectual property rights held by Innovid, and pending and future trademark and patent applications may not be approved. These claims may result in restrictions on Innovid’s use of its intellectual property or the conduct of its business. In any of these cases, Innovid may be required to expend significant time and expense to prevent infringement or to enforce its rights. Innovid also cannot guarantee that others will not independently develop technology with the same or similar functions to any proprietary technology Innovid relies on to conduct its business and differentiate itself from its competitors. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to copy or obtain and use Innovid’s technology to develop applications with the same functionality as its solutions, and policing unauthorized use of its technology and intellectual property rights is difficult and may not be effective. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those of the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of Innovid’s intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate. If Innovid is unable to protect its intellectual property rights (including in particular, the proprietary aspects of its platform) Innovid may find itself at a competitive disadvantage to others who have not incurred the same level of expense, time and effort to create, and protect their intellectual property.
Innovid’s customer agreements generally restrict the use of its confidential information solely to use in connection with the use of its services and restrict the reverse engineering of its technology. In spite of such limitations, reverse engineering Innovid’s software or the theft or misuse of Innovid’s confidential information could occur by customers or other third parties who have access to its technology. Innovid also endeavors to enter into agreements with its employees and contractors in order to limit access to and disclosure of its confidential information, as well as to clarify rights to intellectual property and technology associated with Innovid’s business. These agreements may not effectively grant all necessary rights to any inventions that may have been developed by the employees or consultants party thereto. In addition, these agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Innovid’s confidential information, intellectual property or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of Innovid’s confidential information, intellectual property, or technology.
Furthermore, protecting Innovid’s intellectual property is particularly challenging after its employees or its contractors end their relationship with Innovid, and, in some cases, decide to work for Innovid’s competitors. Also, enforceability of the non-compete agreements that Innovid has in place is not guaranteed, and contractual restrictions could be breached without discovery or adequate remedies.
40

Innovid relies on licenses to use the intellectual property rights of third parties to conduct its business.
Innovid relies on products, technologies, and intellectual property that it licenses from third parties, for use in operating its business. Innovid cannot assure that these third-party licenses, or support for such licensed products and technologies, will continue to be available to Innovid on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Innovid cannot be certain that its licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of others or that its suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which Innovid may operate. Some of Innovid’s license agreements may be terminated by its licensors for convenience. If Innovid is unable to obtain or maintain rights to any of this technology because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against its suppliers and licensors or against it, or if Innovid is unable to continue to obtain the technology or enter into new agreements on commercially reasonable terms, its ability to operate and expand its business could be harmed.
If Innovid fails to adequately maintain the security of and prevent unauthorized access into its systems or devices, advertisers could lose confidence in its platform, and Innovid could face legal claims that could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid may be subject to fraudulent or malicious activities undertaken by persons seeking to use its platform for improper purposes. For example, someone may attempt to divert or artificially inflate advertiser purchases through Innovid’s platform, or to disrupt or divert the operation of the systems, and devices of its advertisers, and their consumers in order to misappropriate information, generate fraudulent billings or stage cyberattacks, or for other illicit purposes. For example, sophisticated bot-nets and other complex forms of click fraud might be used to generate fraudulent impressions and divert advertising revenue from legitimate websites of publishers. Those activities could also introduce malware through Innovid’s platform in order to commandeer or gain access to information on consumers’ computers. Innovid uses third-party tools and proprietary technology to identify non-human traffic and malware, and it may reduce or terminate relationships with advertisers that Innovid finds to be engaging in such activities. Although Innovid continuously assesses the quality and performance of advertising on digital media properties, it may be difficult to detect fraudulent or malicious activity, and Innovid relies on its own and third-party tools, as well as the controls of advertisers. Further, perpetrators of fraudulent impressions and malware frequently change their tactics and may become more sophisticated over time, requiring both Innovid and third parties to improve processes for assessing the quality of advertiser inventory and controlling fraudulent activity. If Innovid fails to prevent such unauthorized access or our platform is compromised its services may be disrupted or perceived as insecure. As a result, its reputation could be damaged, advertisers may contest payment, demand refunds, or fail to give Innovid future business, or Innovid could face legal claims from advertisers.
System failures, security breaches or cyberattacks could interrupt the operation of Innovid’s platform and data centers and significantly harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Innovid’s success depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of its platform. In delivering Innovid’s solutions, it is dependent on the operation of third-party data and cloud computing platforms centers, which are vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks, unidentified security vulnerabilities, exploitation of encryption technology, or other attempts to harm Innovid’s system and similar events. In the future, in particular due to the increasingly evolving methods of bad actors, Innovid may need to expand its systems at a significant cost and at a more rapid pace than Innovid has to date. Innovid may be unable to provide its solutions on a timely basis or experience performance issues with its platform if Innovid fails to adequately expand or maintain its system capabilities to meet future requirements and address future threats. Some of Innovid’s systems are not fully redundant, and its disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. The occurrence of any issues or failures at Innovid’s data centers could result in interruptions in the delivery of its solutions to its customers. Additionally, certain of Innovid’s third-party service providers and other vendors have access to portions of its IT system. Performance failures or acts of negligence by these service providers may cause material disruptions to Innovid’s IT systems. A failure or disruption of Innovid’s computer systems, or those of its demand-side integration partners, could impede access to its platform, interfere with its data analytics and prevent the timely delivery of Innovid’s solutions.
41

The techniques used by criminals to obtain unauthorized access to systems or proprietary information or sensitive, personal or confidential data change frequently and often are not recognized until after being launched against a target, and accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures and there may be a significant delay between the initiation of an attack on our systems and our recognition of the attack. The occurrence of inadvertent or intentional acts of our employees, third-party service providers and other vendors, or business partners may result in a compromise or breach of our networks, or those of third parties with whom we do business. Outside parties may also attempt in the future to fraudulently induce Innovid’s employees or users of its platform to disclose sensitive information via illegal electronic spamming, phishing, or other tactics. Any actual or perceived breach of Innovid’s security measures or Innovid’s third party service providers and other vendors with access to Innovid’s IT system, or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive, personal or confidential data about us, our employees, customers or integration partners, or our advertisers and their consumers, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data as a result of hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, could expose Innovid, our employees, our customers or integration partners, or our advertisers and their consumers to risks of loss or misuse of this information.
Any such breach, loss, disclosure or dissemination may also result in potential liability or fines, governmental inquiry or oversight, enforcement actions, injunctive relief, litigation, public statements against us by advocacy groups or others, or a loss of customer confidence, any of which could harm Innovid’s business and damage its reputation, possibly impeding its ability to retain and attract new customers, and cause a material adverse effect on Innovid’s operations and financial condition. The cost of investigating, mitigating and responding to potential security breaches and complying with applicable breach notification obligations to individuals, regulators, partners and others can be significant and the risk of legal claims in the event of a security breach is increasing. For example, the CCPA creates a private right of action for certain data breaches. Further, defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly, divert management attention and harm Innovid’s reputation. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against Innovid that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in its insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductibles or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect Innovid’s reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any material disruption or slowdown of Innovid’s systems or those of its third-party vendors or business partners, could have a material adverse effect on Innovid’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Relating to Innovid’s Capital Resources
Restrictions and financial covenants in our current revolving credit facility impose the risk of default and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
Failure to meet the NYSE’s continued listing standards could result in a delisting of our common stock.
On May 18, 2023, we were notified by the NYSE that we are not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of our common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice had no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, which continued to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the period allowed to regain compliance, subject to our compliance with other listing standards. The Company regained compliance under Section 802.01C on June 30, 2023 after the Company’s common stock had a closing share price of at least $1.00 and had maintained an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on that date.

The delisting of our common stock from the NYSE may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. Further, if we were to be delisted from the NYSE, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, there is no assurance that our restored compliance with Section 802.01C would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from falling below the minimum bid price required for continued listing again or prevent future non-compliance with NYSE’s listing standards. There is also no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the other listing standards of the NYSE. In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing standards would allow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, or prevent future non-compliance with NYSE’s listing standards.

42

In the future, Innovid may need to obtain additional financing that may not be available or may reduce its profitability or result in dilution to its stockholders.
Innovid may require additional capital in the future to develop and execute Innovid’s long-term growth strategy. Innovid may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to, among other things:
finance working capital requirements, capital investments, or refinance existing or future indebtedness;
acquire complementary businesses, technologies, or products;
develop or enhance its technological infrastructure and its existing platform and solutions;
fund strategic relationships; and
respond to competitive pressures.
If Innovid incurs additional indebtedness, its profitability may be reduced. Any future indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require Innovid to comply with restrictive covenants, which could place limitations on its business operations. Further, Innovid may not be able to maintain sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to service its existing and any future indebtedness. If Innovid’s operating results are not sufficient to service any future indebtedness, it will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying its business activities, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets or issuing equity. If Innovid issues additional equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution and the price of our common stock may decline. Alternatively, if adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, Innovid’s ability to fund its strategic initiatives, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance its technology or services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited.
Failure of banks or other financial institutions could adversely affect our cash, cash equivalents and investments and our business and financial condition may suffer as a result.
We maintain our cash at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed the current FDIC insurance limits, or the local equivalent. If banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future due to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments, including transferring funds, making payments or receiving funds, may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Additional Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock and warrants was and may be volatile in the future.
The price of our common stock, as well as our warrants, fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:
changes in the industries in which we and our customers operate;
developments involving our competitors;
changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors in general;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors or our industry;
the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
actions by stockholders, including the sale by the PIPE Investors (as defined in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Transaction, of this Annual Report on the Form 10-K) of any of their shares of our common stock;
additions and departures of key personnel;
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving our company;
changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
the volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale; and
43

general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, recessions, interest rates, local and national elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel Hamas war.
These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants regardless of our operating performance.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.
If analysts do not publish research about our business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover us, demand for our common stock could decrease and our common stock price and trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering us in the future or fail to publish reports on us regularly.
We are an “emerging growth company” and we expect to elect to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). For so long as we continue to be an emerging growth company we are eligible for certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements.
We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.
Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders and the federal district courts of the United States as the exclusive forum for litigation arising under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Future resales of common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Following the expiration of the lock-up arrangements relating to the Transaction, there are no contractual restrictions on selling shares of our common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could have the effect of increasing the volatility in our share price or could reduce the market price of our common stock. Such sales, or the possibility that such sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
44

General Risk Factors
We may have to constrain our business activities to avoid being deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
In general, a company that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which “investment companies” are permitted to conduct their business activities. The Company believes it has conducted, and intends to continue to conduct, its business in a manner that does not result in the Company being characterized as an investment company. To avoid being deemed an investment company, the Company may decide not to broaden its offerings, which could require the Company to forgo attractive opportunities. If the Company is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which would adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the Company may be forced to make changes to its management team if it is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact our stock price.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of our common stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and the Board’s attention and resources from the Company’s business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to the Company’s future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, the Company may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist shareholder matters.
Further, our stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
Innovid recognizes the importance of cybersecurity risk management and a well-defined strategy to support our business operations, platforms and information systems. We have implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity program to protect information systems and data.

The cybersecurity program is designed and based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Our program includes the following key components to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks that may impact our business operations, including risks related to unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction of confidential information.

Risk Assessment: We routinely conduct comprehensive assessments of our information systems, meticulously evaluating and identifying material risks to discern potential vulnerabilities and threats that may jeopardize the security and integrity of our data, platforms or information systems.
Security Controls: We implement appropriate security controls to protect our platforms and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction.
45

Incident Response: We have established an incident response plan that sets out our procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents and minimizing the impact of such incidents on our business operations.
Employee Training: We provide regular training on cybersecurity best practices and procedures training.
Third-Party Risk Management: We have a third-party risk management process for assessing the risk of service providers, suppliers, and vendors.

There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or are effective in protecting our systems and information.

In addition, we maintain open communication with management and the board regarding cybersecurity risks and incidents.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, tat have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Cybersecurity Governance

Our board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.

Our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) regularly updates management and the Committee on cybersecurity matters, including risk assessments, security controls, incident response procedures, employee training and Third-Party Risk Management.

The Committee oversees the company's cybersecurity risk management and strategy, while management is responsible for implementing the company's cybersecurity program. This approach ensures that cybersecurity risks are appropriately prioritized and managed throughout the organization.

Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters is located in New York, New York and consists of approximately 17,000 square feet of space. Our other main offices are in Edinburgh, Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires. We also maintain offices and/or shared work spaces in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, London, Edinburgh, Sydney and Bogota. We lease all of our facilities and do not own any real property. Leases on these facilities expire at various dates from 2024 to 2034, excluding any options for renewal. We may add facilities as we grow our employee base and expand geographically. We believe that our facilities are sufficient to meet our needs for the immediate future, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of our operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Other than described below, we are not presently party to any legal proceedings or aware of any claims which we believe would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows, or capital levels. We may from time to time be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business.

On March 4, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas by the Nielsen Company (US) LLC against TV Squared, alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10.063.078. On June 1, 2022, TV Squared moved to transfer the case to the Southern District of New York, which was granted on January 18, 2023. On March 23, 2023, TV Squared moved for judgment on the pleadings that the asserted claims of the Nielsen patent are invalid because they are patent ineligible under 35 U.S.C. 101. The Court has not yet ruled on TV Squared’s motion. Meanwhile, discovery commenced while the motion has been pending. The Court conducted a hearing to construe the patent claims on January 10, 2024, but has not issued a ruling yet following that hearing.
The close of fact discovery is currently set for April 8, 2024 and the date for close of expert discovery as June 28, 2024. However, the parties are in the process of submitting a request to the Court to extend those dates in light of several factors, including the lack of the Court’s ruling on the pending motions.No trial date has yet been set and the plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of the lawsuit, the Company is unable at this time to give an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result to the Company if the outcome in such litigation was unfavorable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not record a loss contingency.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Innovid included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections in this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Company Overview
We are an enterprise software platform for the creation, delivery, measurement, and optimization of advertising across connected TV (“CTV”), linear TV, mobile and desktop environments. We provide critical technology infrastructure for many of the world’s largest brands, agencies, and publishers, and empower them to create ad-supported TV experiences people love. Our vision—that television should be open for everyone, and controlled by no one—is at the heart of how we operate our business as an independent platform, and as a strategic, trusted partner for our clients.

Our technology is purpose-built for CTV, with a comprehensive view of the full ecosystem, including linear TV, mobile, and desktop channels. Our cloud-based platform tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem, and includes three key solutions: Ad Serving, Creative Personalization, and Measurement. We count many of the world’s largest brand advertisers as customers, including Anheuser-Busch InBev, CVS Pharmacy, Kellogg’s, Mercedes-Benz, Target, Sanofi, and more. As of December 31, 2023, over 50% of the top 200 large advertisers by TV US advertising spend according to MediaRadar leverage our platform. We are also trusted partners to the largest streaming platform providers in the world, including Disney, Hulu, ESPN, NBCU, and Paramount, and we work closely with top advertising agencies and agency holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom Group, Interpublic Group of Cos., Dentsu Inc., Havas Group, Horizon Media, and The Stagwell Group. Our clients are diversified across all major industry verticals, including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail, financial services, automotive and technology. We serve customers globally across over 50 countries, with most of our customers located in the US.

Our revenue growth closely correlates with the growth of CTV advertising. CTV accounted for 53% and 51% of all video impressions served by Innovid during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, this represented a year-over-year increase of 12% in CTV video impressions served by Innovid. The balance of video impressions served by Innovid during such periods were attributable to Mobile, 35% and 36%, respectively, and PC, 12% and 13%, respectively. In 2023, the year-over-year change in video impressions increased by 5% for mobile TV and was unchanged for desktop TV.

We define core clients as advertisers or publishers that generated at least $100,000 of annual revenue. Prior to our acquisition of TVS, our definition of a core client was limited to advertisers that generates at least $100,000 of annual revenue. We have a history of strong growth in our core client base, with 177 core clients as of December 31, 2023. No individual core client represented more than 17% of 2023 revenue. In 2023, our 177 core clients generated approximately 90% of the total company revenue. In the year ended December 31, 2022, we had 174 core clients (which did not include publishers) that generated 88% of the total company revenue.

Transactions
Innovid Corp. was originally incorporated as ION Acquisition Corp. 2 Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company, on November 23, 2020 and Innovid Corp. was the surviving entity following the completion of its merger with ION on November 30, 2021 (“the Transaction”).
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of TV Squared Limited by way of stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Company acquired all the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of $100.0 million in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock at fair value of $3.80 per share, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option of the Company at weighted average fair value of $3.49, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

49

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates and assumptions are related, but not limited to income tax uncertainties, deferred taxes, share-based compensation, as well as the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in business combinations. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Global Events
A number of our employees, including some senior employees and two of our directors are residents of Israel. As of today, the Company’s business operations have not been disrupted to any significant extent and the Company does not anticipate any material impact to operations going forward amidst the war in Israel. All of our infrastructure and internal networks are cloud based and are located outside of Israel. Key systems and IT functions are distributed globally, and our customer care and sales teams are situated mainly in the US, the UK and Argentina. Our office in Israel is primarily a research and development facility and is one of three of our worldwide research and development facilities.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
There are several factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, our results of operations and growth.
These factors include:
Continued market demand. Our performance depends on continued global demand across the advertising ecosystem for independent third-party ad serving, personalization and measurement of digital ads. Advertisers, programmatic platforms, social media channels and digital publishers are collectively placing increased emphasis on the quality and effectiveness of digital ad spend across all channels, formats and devices.
Our growth is primarily driven by CTV, the fastest growing segment of digital ad spend, and our results depend on our ability to monetize continued growth of CTV ad spend.
Growth of volume of CTV ad impressions of existing customers. Our results also depend on our ability to retain our existing customers and on our customers’ continued investment in CTV advertising. Customer retention will continue to impact our results as TV investment continues to shift from linear to CTV and the volume of CTV impressions grows.
Upsell of additional services. An additional contributor to our efforts in expanding revenue generated by our customers is our investment in cross-selling our solutions. We cross-sell our personalized creative solutions to primary ad serving customers, who, for example, begin using our services with standard digital video ads and then introduce personalized formats over time. We also cross-sell our advanced measurement solutions, which provide real-time metrics to inform optimization of TV campaigns while in market. The success of these efforts will impact our results of operations.
New client accounts: We intend to continue targeting new brand, media agency and digital publisher customers who are currently utilizing solutions provided by our competitors or point solutions. Our results of operations will be impacted by our ability to attract new customers.
Seasonality: We experience fluctuations in revenue that coincide with seasonal fluctuations in the digital ad spending of our customers, in particular television ad spending patterns. Advertisers typically allocate the largest portion of their media budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. As a result, the fourth quarter of the year typically reflects our highest level of revenue while the first quarter typically reflects our lowest level of revenue. However, this traditional seasonality may also be impacted by certain external factors or major events that also impact traditional television advertising patterns, such as supply chain disruptions and silicon/chip shortages. We expect our revenue to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole and for these seasonal fluctuations in ad spend to impact quarter-over-quarter results. We believe that the year-over-year comparison of results more appropriately reflects the overall performance of our business.

50

Global Markets
The majority of our clients operate at a significant scale. Innovid serves customers globally through a delivery footprint including the US, APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. In 2023, approximately 9% of Innovid’s revenue was generated outside the US.
We continue to service international markets to meet the needs of our global customer base and to accelerate new customer acquisition in key geographies outside of the US. We believe our continuing ability to service international markets will impact our results of operations.
Components of Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Revenue
We generate most of our revenue from digital ad solutions via our cloud based ad serving platform to advertisers, media agencies and publishers. We focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. Ad serving services relate to utilizing our platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV and desktop TV.
InnovidXP, our cloud based cross-platform TV Ad measurement solution, launched in 2022, measures the efficiency of CTV advertising and in-flight optimizations for TV marketers. We will continue to invest in advanced measurement capability and provide solutions to advertisers, streaming platforms and agencies as their needs evolve in the highly fragmented CTV ecosystem.
We provide creative services for the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
We generate the majority of our revenue from the sale and delivery of our products within the US. For information with respect to sales by geographic markets, refer to Note 17, Segment Reporting to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
We anticipate that revenue from our US sales will continue to constitute a substantial portion of our revenue in future periods.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs to run the ad serving and measurement platform and provide creative services. These costs include hosting fees and ad serving fees, data costs, personnel costs including stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs, based on headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, professional services costs, hosting and facility related costs. We allocate overhead including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs based on headcount. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, depending primarily upon when we choose to make more significant investments.
Research and development costs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”), requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred during the application development stage. Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions, stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs, as well as costs related to advertising, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs based on headcount.
51

General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal and other administrative functions as well as professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, and communication costs based on headcount.
Prior period reclassification
In the second quarter 2022, we reclassified amounts recorded for depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses and presented them as a separate line item on our consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we no longer present gross profit as a subtotal on our consolidated statements of operations. All prior periods have been adjusted.

Revenue
The growth and scaling of CTV was the key driver of Innovid’s revenue growth. As TV ad spend continues to shift from linear to CTV, we continue to benefit from the natural volume growth of CTV impressions we delivered for our existing and new customers. We have driven consistent positive net revenue retention of our core client base, largely through increased CTV advertising volume, as legacy TV budgets migrate from linear TV to CTV.
Total revenue increased 10%, from $127.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 to $139.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is attributed to the ad serving volume growth and growth of the measurement solution. Cross-selling of the measurement solution to our core clients contributed to the overall increase in the measurement revenue as well as a full year inclusion of TVS results in 2023, as compared to ten months in the prior year.

There was no material impact of changes in average cost per impression on total revenue.

Goodwill impairment was $14.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. There was no such charge in the year ended December 31, 2022. The continued decline in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2023 was viewed as a triggering event, which required an assessment for possible goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2023. We performed this assessment during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value was determined based on the market approach. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment in the amount of $14.5 million as of June 30, 2023. There was no additional goodwill impairment recorded in the year ended 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through utilization of cash generated from operations and cash proceeds from the ION Transaction, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities.
As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $50.0 million and net working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, of $76.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $182.8 million, $76.0 million thereof resulted from the cumulative accretion of preferred stock to redemption value prior to the conversion of all preferred stock into our common stock upon the closing of the ION Transaction.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated net cash provided by operating activities, together with available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, if our operating performance during the next twelve months is below our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected. We are closely monitoring the effect that current economic conditions may have on our working capital requirements. To date, the war in Israel has not had a material negative impact on our cash flow or liquidity. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors.
Sources of Liquidity
Revolving Line of Credit
On August 4, 2022, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Innovid LLC and TV Squared Inc, entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “2022 A&R Agreement”), to increase the revolving line of credit from $15.0 million to $50.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2022 A&R Agreement and the New Revolving Credit Facility were amended by a First Loan Modification Agreement dated August 2, 2023 (the “2023 Modification Agreement”). The interest for the New Revolving Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate which is the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.25% or (b) 4.25%, on the aggregate outstanding balance. Additional fees include fees in an amount of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility to be paid quarterly in arrears. The maturity date of the 2022 A&R Agreement, as amended by the 2023 Modification Agreement, is June 30, 2025. The New Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain customary conditions precedent to the credit extension as stated in the 2022 A&R Agreement and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and continues to place limitations on indebtedness, liens, distributions, investments, asset sales, transactions with affiliates and acquisitions and conduct of business, all as defined in the agreement.
Prior to the 2023 Modification Agreement, the New Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at an annual rate which was the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.75% or (b) 4.25%.
The New Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with all covenants, primarily maintaining an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00. As defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement “adjusted quick ratio” is the ratio of (a) quick assets to (b) current liabilities minus the current portion of deferred revenue. “Quick assets” determines as our unrestricted cash plus accounts receivable, net, determined according to US GAAP. We are also required to maintain the minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA as defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement, as amended by the 2023 Modification Agreement, if we do not maintain the quarterly adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.
As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants.
Throughout the reporting period, the Company utilized the credit line on an as needed basis. The amounts drawn and repaid range from $5.0 million to $15.0 million. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company utilized $20.0 million of the $50.0 million credit line and on January 11, 2024, the amount was repaid.
We recognize interest expenses in finance expenses (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Uses of Liquidity
From time to time, we have utilized short-term certificates of deposit in order to maximize the use of cash on hand.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers and payments to our vendors, as well as increases in personnel related expenses as we scale our business. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to vendors and providers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. Seasonality is expected to impact cash flows from operating activities quarterly.
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is calculated by adjusting our net loss for changes in working capital, excluding non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets impairment, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation and changes in fair value of warrants.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.4 million. Net loss, after adjusting for non-cash charges generated $12.3 million in cash. Changes in working capital provided $0.1 million in cash.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $11.6 million. Net loss, after adjusting for non-cash charges used $13.2 million in cash. Changes in working capital provided $1.6 million in cash.
The decrease in cash from working capital in 2023 compared to the prior period was mainly due to an increase in trade receivables of $2.7 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.9 million due to the timing of payments for some of our subscriptions and a decrease in trade payables of $0.6 million. A decrease in net lease obligations used $0.5 million in cash. This was offset by cash generated of $6.8 million from accrued expenses and other liabilities and employee related accruals due to the timing of tax, other and employee payments.
Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $0.5 million of net cash in investing activities compared to net cash used in investing activities of $119.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in use of cash was primarily driven by cash consideration paid of $99.1 million to acquire TVS in 2022 and the $10.0 million decrease in short-term deposits, which was terminated in March 2023.
Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million compared to $11.8 million in 2022. The decrease in cash provided was primarily due to a drawdown of our credit facility of $14.0 million in the prior period, offset by the amount of acquisition costs of $3.2 million.

See Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for details regarding management’s use of this non-GAAP measure.
Contractual Obligations and Known Future Cash Requirements
Lease Commitments
Our lease commitments predominantly relate to rented office and/or work space. We rent facilities under operating lease agreements that expire on various dates, the latest of which is in 2034 excluding any options for renewal. The minimum rental payments under operating leases for rental of premises as of December 31, 2023 for the next five years totaled $1.9 million, which is comprised of $1.2 million and $0.7 million in the next twelve months and more than twelve months, respectively. Other operating leases are immaterial. On February 7, 2024, the Company amended its principal lease agreement extending the term to 2034. The lease contains a one time option to lease additional space and a one time five year renewal option. The Company expects to pay approximately $15.4 million in rent over the lease term.
Pledges and Bank Guarantees
In connection with the first loan agreement with with Silicon Valley Bank, we pledged 65,000 shares of common stock of our Israeli subsidiary, NIS 0.01 par value each.
We have a total of $0.8 million of pledged bank deposits as of December 31, 2023. We obtained bank guarantees in an aggregate amount of $0.2 million in connection with our office lease agreements in the US as of December 31, 2023.
Other Commitments
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued a total of $1.0 million for future cash payments related to executive transition, of which $0.3 million will be paid during the first quarter of 2024 and the remainder, or $0.7 million, will be paid during the second quarter of 2024.
Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with US GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin percent and Free Cash Flow. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin percent and Free Cash Flow as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our core business as well as comparisons to peers as similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate business in our industry. Additionally, these figures provide an understanding and evaluation of our trends when comparing our operating results, on a consistent basis, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not take the place of GAAP financial measures in evaluating our business.
57


Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Percent
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin percent are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate defined Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net loss before depreciation and amortization and long-lived asset impairment, goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation expense finance (income) expenses, net transaction related expenses, acquisition related expenses, retention bonus expenses, legal claims, severance costs, other and taxes on income. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin percent as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin percent permit a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. The following table presents a reconciliation from net loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin percent, non-GAAP financial measures as used by management:

(b) Transaction related expenses consist of cost related to the SPAC merger transaction.
(c) Acquisition related expenses consists of professional fees associated with the acquisition of TVS.
(d) Retention bonus expenses consists of retention bonus for TVS employees.

Other companies in our industry may calculate the above described non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures supplementary.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin percent and Free Cash Flow as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations and are utilized in our own operational and financial decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our core business as well as comparisons to peers as similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate businesses in our industry. We believe these figures provide an understanding and evaluation of our trends when comparing our operating results, on a consistent basis, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not take the place of GAAP financial measures in evaluating our business.
58

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect costs of acquiring and integrating businesses, which will continue to be a part of our growth strategy;
they do not reflect one-time, non-recurring, bonus costs and third party costs associated with the SPAC merger transaction and regulatory filings;
they do not reflect goodwill impairment;
they do not reflect severance costs;
they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;
they do not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; and
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets and amortization of software development costs, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and the impact of foreign exchange on cash. For further discussion on free cash flow, including a reconciliation to cash flows provided by operating activities, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this document.
Other companies in our industry may calculate the above described non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.
Operational Metrics
In addition, Innovid’s management considers the number of core clients, annual core clients retention and annual core clients net revenue retention in evaluating the performance of the business. These metrics are reported annually. Core client retention is defined as the percentage of core clients retained by Innovid as compared to the prior year period. Net revenue retention is defined as the percentage of revenue retained from existing core customers as compared to the prior year period. Prior to our acquisition of TVS in 2022, our definition of a core client was limited to advertisers that generated at least $100,000 of annual revenue. Following our acquisition of TVS, we have included publishers as core clients. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our net revenue retention was 101% and our core client retention was 91%.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, our net revenue retention based on prior methodology, which did not include publishers, was 111%. Our core client retention was 90%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
59

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, we believe the following accounting policies to be the most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from providing digital ad solutions, where the Company provides a cloud based ad serving platform for use by advertisers, media agencies and publishers. Standard, interactive and data driven digital video ads are delivered through this ad serving platform. Advertising impressions are served via the Company’s cloud based ad serving platform to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display and other channels.
InnovidXP, the Company’s cloud based cross-platform for TV ad measurement solution, measures the efficiency of CTV advertising and in-flight optimizations for TV marketers. The customers get insights into the effectiveness of their TV and digital advertising.

The Company also provides creative services for the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable, the Company allocates the contract consideration to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). SSP is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.
Revenues related to ad serving are recognized when impressions are delivered via the Company’s ad serving platform. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenues related to Innovid XP solution are recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenues for this measurement subscription is recognized over the service period.
Revenue related to creative projects are recognized when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
The Company’s accounts receivable, consist primarily of receivables related to providing products and services described above, for which the Company’s contracted performance obligations have been satisfied, the amount has been billed and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company typically bills customers monthly based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less.
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Most of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without a cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
60

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Deferred revenue represents mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for measurement platform services. Deferred revenue is recognized as (or when) we perform under the contract.
Costs to obtain a contract
Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Most of the Company’s commissions are commensurate. If commissions are not eligible for the practical expedient, the Company capitalizes these commissions. The term of amortization of capitalized commissions is three years.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “Financial expenses (income), net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies a fair value framework to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, net, trade payables, employees and payroll accruals, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and current portion of long term debts. Their historical carrying amounts are approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company measures its investments in money market funds classified as cash equivalents and warrants liability at fair value.
61

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
The goodwill impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2023 was estimated using the Company's stock price, a Level 1 input, adjusted for an estimated control premium.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s warrant liability represents the warrants that were assumed in the Transaction, which were originally issued in connection with ION’s initial public offering. The Company’s Warrants are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.
The Company determines the fair value of the warrants by using the closing price of the Company’s warrants.
As of December 31, 2023, almost all of the Company’s private warrants were transferred by the original holders and therefore are no longer classified as Level 3. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability are recognized in finance (income) expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s private warrants were classified as Level 3 and were valued based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock-based compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options with time based vesting is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant date fair value of the stock-based awards with graded vesting is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is based on a variety of factors including Company’s common stock price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life of awards and dividend yield. The Company has limited option exercise history and has elected to estimate the expected life of the stock option awards using the “simplified method” with the continued use of this method extended until such time that the Company has sufficient exercise history. The expected volatility of the price of such stocks is based on volatility of similar companies whose stock prices are publicly available over a historical period equivalent to the option’s expected term. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical and future expectation of dividends payouts. Historically, the Company has not paid cash dividends. Risk-free interest rates are based on the yield from US Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a term equivalent to the expected term of the options.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If there are indications of an impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
The development of the Company’s measurement product in 2023, prompted the Company to assess whether an impairment loss should be recorded on its legacy measurement product. As result of this assessment, the Company has concluded that its legacy measurement product is not recoverable and that an impairment loss should be recognized. The Company used the income approach to measure the impairment loss, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 recorded impairment losses of $2.3 million.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements resulting from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test.
Reporting units are evaluated when changes in the Company’s operating structure occur, and if necessary, goodwill would be reassigned using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company operates in one operating segment, and this segment is the only reporting unit.
62

ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the carrying value of its reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its reporting unit. The fair value was determined based on the market approach. The market approach utilizes the Company's market capitalization plus an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of common stock outstanding by the market price of its common stock. The control premium is determined by utilizing publicly available data from studies for similar transactions of public companies. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $14.5 million.

The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2023, and the Company concluded that no additional goodwill impairment should be recorded. There were no impairments of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Customer relationships and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets: approximately 11 years and 6 years, respectively. Amortization of customer relationships and acquired technology is presented within depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company decided to stop using the trade name. As a result, the Company reassessed the amortization of the trade name. As of December 31, 2023, the trade name was fully amortized.
Capitalized software development costs
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and personnel-related employee benefits for employees directly associated with the software development and external costs of the materials or services consumed in developing or obtaining the software.
Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized. Once this software is ready for use in providing the Company's services, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year estimated useful life. The amortization is presented within depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized internal-use software cost of $10.8 million and $11.1 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges included in depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations of $0.5 million due to the abandonment of certain internal use software projects.
Income taxes and tax contingencies
Income taxes are computed using a balance sheet approach reflecting both current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes reflect the tax impact of all of the events included in the financial statements. The basic principles employed in the balance sheet approach are to reflect a current tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, a deferred tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. There are certain situations in which deferred taxes are not provided. Some basis differences are not temporary differences because their reversals are not expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts.
63

The Company regularly evaluates deferred tax assets for future realization and establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that a portion is not more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, including existing cumulative losses in recent years, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The recoverability of the deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely on estimates.
ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in taxes on income.
On December 20, 2017, Congress passed the (“US Tax Act”). The US Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by US tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the US Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The US Tax Act provides that a person who is a US shareholder of any controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) is required to include its Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in gross income for the tax year in a manner generally similar to that for Subpart F inclusions. The term “global intangible low-taxed income” is defined as the excess (if any) of the US shareholder’s net CFC tested income for that tax year, over the US shareholder’s net deemed tangible income return for that tax year. The Company’s policy is to treat GILTI as a period expense in the provision for income taxes.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innovid Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in temporary equity and stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the US federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2007.

We provide critical technology infrastructure for many of the world’s largest brands, agencies, and publishers, and empower them to create ad-supported TV experiences people love. Our cloud-based platform tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem, and includes three key solutions: ad serving, creative personalization, and measurement.
Innovid Corp. was originally incorporated as ION Acquisition Corp. 2 Ltd. (“ION”), a special purpose acquisition company, on November 23, 2020 and Innovid, Inc. was the surviving entity following the completion of the merger with ION on November 30, 2021 (the “Transaction”) as described below.
On November 30, 2021, ION consummated a series of merger transactions, whereby it acquired the business of Innovid Inc.

Each share of Innovid Inc. redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately 1.337 shares of the common stock of the Company. Innovid Corp. received approximately $149,252 in cash proceeds, net of transaction costs paid. As a result of the Transaction, the Company assumed the outstanding Public Warrants to purchase 3,162,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and the outstanding Private Warrants to purchase 7,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 11, Warrants for further details.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for annual financial information and the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include its accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries; all intercompany activity and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Prior Period Reclassification
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified amounts recorded for depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses and presented them as a separate line item on its consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company no longer presents gross profit as a subtotal on its consolidated statements of operations. All prior periods have been adjusted.

INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such management estimates and assumptions are related, but not limited to income tax uncertainties, deferred taxes, share-based compensation, as well as the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in business combinations. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Global Events
A number of Company’s employees, including some senior employees and two of our directors are residents of Israel. As of today, the Company’s business operations have not been disrupted to any significant extent and the Company does not anticipate any material impact to operations going forward amidst the war in Israel. All of our infrastructure and internal networks are cloud-based and are located outside of Israel. Key systems and IT functions are distributed globally, and our customer care and sales teams are situated mainly in the US, the UK and Argentina. Our office in Israel is primarily a research and development facility and is one of three of our worldwide research and development facilities.
Accounting Policies
Functional currency
A majority of the Company’s revenue is generated in US dollars. A substantial portion of the Company’s costs are incurred in US dollars. The Company’s management believes that the US dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the US dollar. Accordingly, accounts maintained in currencies other than the US dollar are re-measured into US dollars. All translation gains and losses resulting from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency are recorded in finance (income) expenses, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired.
Short-term bank deposits
The Company utilizes short-term deposits in order to maximize the use of cash on hand. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s foreign subsidiary held deposits in local financial institutions with earnings that align with the country’s rate of inflation. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had deposits of $10,000 with original maturities greater than 90 days at 4.1% interest held with a US financial institution.
Restricted deposits
Restricted deposits, presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in long-term restricted deposits, are deposits used as security for the Company’s credit cards and for the rental of premises, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s restricted deposits are denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) and bore interest at weighted average interest rates of 4.4% and 0.01%, respectively. Restricted deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.

INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Trade receivable, net
The Company records trade receivables for amounts invoiced and yet unbilled invoices. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the trade receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. The estimated credit loss allowance is recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Years
Computers and peripheral equipment
3
Office furniture and equipment
5-7
Leasehold improvements
The shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset
Internal-use software3
Software development costs
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consist of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and personnel-related employee benefits for employees directly associated with the software development and external costs of the materials or services consumed in developing or obtaining the software.
Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized. Once this software is ready for use in providing the Company's services, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year estimated useful life. The amortization is presented within depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized internal-use software cost of $10,809 and $11,143, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges included in depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations of $547 due to the abandonment of certain internal use software projects.
Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combination (“ASC 805”) and allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets recorded in the Company's financial statements result from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized as it is estimated to have an indefinite life. As such, goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test.

INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the expected benefit from the business combination. Reporting units are evaluated when changes in the Company’s operating structure occur, and if necessary, goodwill is reassigned using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company operates in one operating segment, and this segment is the only reporting unit.
ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the carrying value of its reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its reporting unit. The fair value was determined based on the market approach. The market approach utilizes the Company's market capitalization plus an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of common stock outstanding by the market price of its common stock. The control premium is determined by utilizing publicly available data from studies for similar transactions of public companies. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $14,503.

The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2023, and the Company concluded that no additional goodwill impairment should be recorded. There were no impairments of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Refer to Note 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details.

Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Customer relationships and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets; approximately 11 years and 6 years, respectively. Amortization of customer relationships and acquired technology is presented within depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets impairment in the consolidated statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company decided to stop using the trade name. As a result, the Company reassessed the amortization period of the trade name. As of December 31, 2023, the trade name was fully amortized.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If there are indications of an impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
The development of the Company’s measurement product in 2023, prompted the Company to assess whether an impairment loss should be recorded on its measurement legacy product. As result of this assessment, the Company has concluded that its legacy measurement product is not recoverable and that an impairment loss should be recognized. The Company used the income approach to measure the impairment loss and for the year ended December 31, 2023, recorded an impairment loss of $2,253.

Leases
Innovid's lease portfolio primarily consists of real estate properties. Short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Innovid does not separate lease components from non-lease components.
The Company is a lessee in all its lease agreements. The Company records lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Innovid generally uses an incremental borrowing rate to discount its lease liabilities, as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable. Certain lease agreements include renewal options that are under the Company's control. Optional renewal periods are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its option.
Variable lease payments are primarily related to payments to lessors for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating costs. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies a fair value framework to measure its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, net, trade payables, employees and payroll accruals, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and current portions of long term debt. Their historical carrying amounts are approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company’s investments in money market funds are classified as cash equivalents and measured at fair value. The Company measures its warrants liability at fair value.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The goodwill impairment recorded in the year ended December 31, 2023 was estimated using the Company's stock price, a Level 1 input, adjusted for an estimated control premium.

Certificates of deposit represented deposits with certain financial institutions with maturities up to 180 days. These amounts are included in cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits on our consolidated balance sheet and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s warrant liability represents the warrants that were assumed in the Transaction, which were originally issued in connection with ION’s initial public offering (refer to Note 11, Warrants). The Company’s warrants are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. The Company determines the fair value of the warrants by using the closing price of the Company’s warrants.
As of December 31, 2023, almost all of the Company’s private warrants were transferred by the original holders and therefore are no longer classified as Level 3. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability are recognized in finance (income) expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan with a safe harbor employer match with a maximum of 4% employer contribution for its eligible employees in the US. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company recorded expenses for matching contributions in the amount of $1,204, $1,182 and $961, respectively.
Severance pay
The Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963 (“Severance Pay Law”), specifies that employees are entitled to severance payment, following the termination of their employment. Under the Severance Pay Law, the severance payment is calculated as one-month salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof.
The Israeli Subsidiary’s liability for all of its Israeli employees is covered by the provisions of Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law (“Section 14”). Under Section 14 employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.3% of their monthly salary, continued on their behalf to their insurance funds. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. As a result, the Company does not recognize any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheets.
Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, amounted to approximately $830, $946 and $755, respectively.
Income taxes and tax contingencies
Income taxes are computed using a balance sheet approach reflecting both current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes reflect the tax impact of all of the events included in the financial statements. The basic principles employed in the balance sheet approach are to reflect a current tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, a deferred tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. There are certain situations in which deferred taxes are not provided. Some basis differences are not temporary differences because their reversals are not expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts.
The Company regularly evaluates deferred tax assets for future realization and establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that a portion is not more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, including existing cumulative losses in recent years, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The recoverability of the deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely on estimates.

ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in taxes on income.
On December 20, 2017, Congress passed the (“US Tax Act”). The US Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by US tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the US Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced the Act provides that a person who is a US shareholder of any controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) is required to include its Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in gross income for the tax year in a manner generally similar to that for Subpart F inclusions. The term “global intangible low-taxed income” is defined as the excess (if any) of the US shareholder’s net CFC tested income for that tax year, over the US shareholder’s net deemed tangible income return for that tax year. The Company’s policy is to treat GILTI as a period expense in the provision for income taxes.
Concentrations of credit risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and trade receivables, net. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with major banks in US, Israel and UK. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent of the amounts recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets exceed federally insured limits. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company’s trade receivables, net are mainly derived from sales to customers located in the US, APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. The Company mitigates its credit risk by performing an ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, two of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue as presented below:

Stock-based compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options with service conditions is calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards with graded vesting is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is based on a variety of factors including Company’s common stock price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life of awards and dividend yield. The Company has limited option exercise history and has elected to estimate the expected life of the stock option awards using the “simplified method” with the continued use of this method extended until such time that the Company has sufficient exercise history. The expected volatility of the price of such stock is based on volatility of similar companies whose stock prices are publicly available over a historical period equivalent to the option’s expected term. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical and future expectation of dividends payouts. Historically, the Company has not paid cash dividends. Risk-free interest rates are based on the yield from US Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a term equivalent to the expected term of the options.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in financial (income) expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from digital ad solutions, where the Company provides a cloud based ad serving platform for use by advertisers, media agencies and publishers. Standard, interactive and data driven digital video ads are delivered through this ad serving platform. Advertising impressions are served via the Company’s cloud based ad serving platform to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels.
InnovidXP, the Company’s cloud based cross-platform TV Ad measurement solution, measures the efficiency of CTV advertising and in-flight optimizations for TV marketers. The customers get insights into the effectiveness of their TV and digital advertising.
The Company also provides creative services for the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable, the Company allocates the contract consideration to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). SSP is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.
Revenue related to ad serving is recognized when impressions are delivered via the Company’s ad serving platform. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenue related to Innovid XP solution is recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenue for these measurement services is recognized over the service period.
Revenue related to creative projects is recognized when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
The Company’s accounts receivable, consist primarily of receivables related to products and services, for which the Company’s contracted performance obligations have been satisfied, the amount has been billed and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company typically bills customers monthly based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less.

INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Most of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Deferred revenue represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for measurement platform services. Deferred revenue is recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.

Revenue from ad serving solutions via Innovid’s ad serving platform were 73.3%, 76.7%, and 93.6% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from measurement subscriptions were 23.1%, 19.7% and 1.6% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Creative services were 3.6%, 3.6% and 4.8% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Costs to obtain a contract
Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Most of the Company’s commissions are commensurate. If commissions are not eligible for the practical expedient, the Company capitalizes these commissions. Capitalized commissions are amortized over three years.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, capitalized commissions costs were immaterial.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs to run the cloud based ad serving and measurement platform and provide creative services. These costs include hosting fees, and ad serving fees, data costs, and personnel costs including stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs. The Company allocates overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs based on headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, professional services costs, hosting and facility related costs. The Company allocatea overhead including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs based on headcount. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, depending primarily upon when the Company chooses to make more significant investments.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”), requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred during the application development stage. Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs as well as costs related to advertising, product management, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs. The Company allocates overhead including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs based on headcount.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal and other administrative functions as well as professional services costs and facility related costs. The Company allocates overhead including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs based on headcount.

Net loss per common stock
Prior to the Transaction, the Company computed net loss per share using the two-class method as required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considered its preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of common stock, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all preferred stock into common stock.
These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
Following the Transaction, basic net income (loss) for each reporting period is computed by divided net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during that period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for each reporting period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus dilutive potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive stock of common stock are anti-dilutive.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Credit Losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023 and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued the ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model that supersedes the previous lease guidance and requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Innovid adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2021, have been presented in accordance with the standard, while results for prior periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease standard was recognized as an adjustment to the opening consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022.
The Company elected a package of practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2022, and did not reassess historical conclusions on: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs capitalization for any existing leases.
This standard had a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The most significant effects relate to the recognition ROU assets and lease liabilities on interim consolidated balance sheet for real estate and vehicle operating leases.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets, adjusted for the accrued rent and remaining lease incentives received on the adoption date, as follows:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company
As an “emerging growth company,” the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
Income taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intending to improve transparency of income tax disclosure by requiring income tax disclosures to contain consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This standard affects the disclosure of income taxes not the accounting for income taxes. This standard is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09.

Segments
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expense and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07.

Other guidance that has been issued since the end of our previous reporting period is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of TVS. TVS is an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV and a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Scotland. The Company acquired all the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of approximately $100,000 in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock at fair value of $3.80 per share, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option of the Company at weighted average fair value of $3.49, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company, through this acquisition, added a real-time, cross-platform service to its offerings, including measurement outcomes such as frequency and unique unduplicated reach and performance metrics. The combination of ad serving, and cross-platform measurement enables the buy- and sell-sides to solve fragmentation by unlocking a complete picture of advertising across the linear TV, CTV and digital video marketplaces.
The acquisition of TVS has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company finalized the purchase accounting for the TVS acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Intangible assets related to technology and customer relationship and trade name were amortized over the estimated useful lives of approximately 6 years, 11 years and 4 years, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company decided to stop using the trade name, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach", which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill recognized from the acquisition of TVS represents the value of additional growth potential of the revenue base from the creation of a single combined global organization and synergies related to combined IT efforts for enhancement of the existing and acquired technologies. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company entered into cash compensation arrangements with certain employees, which amounted to $9,700 in aggregate and are subject to certain performance and employment conditions following the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2023, the actual pay out under this arrangement is expected to be $3,905 of which $2,805 were paid and remainder will be paid in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company incurred approximately $5,000 in total transaction costs for the acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs include legal, accounting fees and other professional costs directly related to the acquisition and were recognized in general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT
On August 4, 2022, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, Innovid LLC and TV Squared Inc, entered an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “2022 A&R Agreement”), to increase the revolving line of credit from $15,000 to $50,000 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2022 A&R Agreement and the New Revolving Credit Facility were amended by a First Loan Modification Agreement dated August 2, 2023 (the “2023 Modification Agreement”). The interest for the New Revolving Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate which is the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.25% or (b) 4.25%, on the aggregate outstanding balance. Additional fees include fees in an amount of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility to be paid quarterly in arrears. The Company paid non-refundable commitment fees of $40 and $75 at inception and each subsequent anniversary of the modification date, respectively. A modification fee of $20 was paid on the date of the 2023 Modification Agreement. The maturity date of the 2022 A&R Agreement, as amended by the 2023 Modification Agreement, is June 30, 2025. The New Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain customary conditions precedent to the credit extension as stated in the 2022 A&R Agreement and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and continues to place limitations on indebtedness, liens, distributions, investments, asset sales, transactions with affiliates and acquisitions and conduct of business, all as defined in the agreement.
Prior to the 2023 Modification Agreement, the New Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at an annual rate which was the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.75% or (b) 4.25%.
The New Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with all covenants, primarily maintaining an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00. As defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement “adjusted quick ratio” is the ratio of (a) quick assets to (b) current liabilities minus the current portion of deferred revenue. “Quick assets” are determined as the Company’s unrestricted cash plus accounts receivable, net, and is determined according to US GAAP. The Company is also required to maintain the minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA as defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement if the Company does not maintain the quarterly adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.
Throughout the reporting period, the Company utilizes the credit line on an as needed basis. The amounts drawn and repaid range from $5,000 to $15,000. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company utilized $20,000 of the $50,000 credit line and on January 11, 2024, the amount was repaid. See Note 15, Finance Expense (Income), Net for interest expense.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants.

11. WARRANTS
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 3,162,500 public warrants and 7,060,000 private warrants outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the majority of the private warrants (the “Transferred Private Warrants”) had been transferred from their initial holder to other transferees, making the Transferred Private Warrants terms now identical to the public warrants resulting in use of the same price for valuation purposes. The remaining amount of private warrants are immaterial.
The public warrants are exercisable in whole share increments; no fractional shares will be issued. The public warrants were exercisable on the later of (a) 30 after the completion of the Transaction and (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The public warrants expire five years from the completion of the Transaction or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The public warrants may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant if the Company’s stock price equals or exceeds $18.00 during any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise the warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date.
The public warrants may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.10 per warrant if the Company’s stock price upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; if holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Innovid Corp. common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 during any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; the warrant holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.
The Company evaluated the warrants in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity and concluded that the warrants do not meet all the conditions to be classified as equity pursuant to ASC 815-40. As the warrants do not meet all the requirements for equity classification, the Company warrants are recorded as liabilities on the balance sheets and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for details regarding the fair value of the Company’s warrants and see Note 15, Finance Expense (Income), Net for details regarding gains and losses related to the Company’s warrants.

Other commitments:
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued a total of $1,006 for future cash payments related to executive transition, of which $307 will be paid during the first quarter of 2024 and the remainder, or $699, will be paid during the second quarter of 2024.
Legal contingencies:
On March 4, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas by the Nielsen Company (US) LLC against TV Squared, alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10.063.078. On June 1, 2022, TV Squared moved to transfer the case to the Southern District of New York, which was granted on January 18, 2023. On March 23, 2023, TV Squared moved for judgment on the pleadings that the asserted claims of the Nielsen patent are invalid because they are patent ineligible under 35 U.S.C. 101. The Court has not yet ruled on TV Squared’s motion. Meanwhile, discovery commenced while the motion has been pending. The Court conducted a hearing to construe the patent claims on January 10, 2024, but has not issued a ruling yet following that hearing.
The close of fact discovery is currently set for April 8, 2024 and the date for close of expert discovery as June 28, 2024. However, the parties are in the process of submitting a request to the Court to extend those dates in light of several factors, including the lack of the Court’s ruling on the pending motions. No trial date has yet been set and the plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of the lawsuit, the Company is unable at this time to give an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result to the Company if the outcome in such litigation was unfavorable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not record a loss contingency.
13. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, the Company has a valuation allowance to offset its deferred tax assets.
The Israeli corporate tax rate was 23% in 2023, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s production facilities in Israel have been granted the status of a “preferred enterprise” under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 1959. According to the provisions of the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 1959, the Company has been granted a reduced tax rate for certain research and development activities the Company performs in Israel. A preferred enterprise located in development area A will be subject to a tax rate of 7.5% instead of 9%. The tax rate applicable to preferred enterprises located in other areas remains at 16%.

Foreign withholding taxes and Internal Revenue Code Section 986(c) gains and losses have not been recorded on permanently reinvested earnings of certain subsidiaries aggregating $18,626 and $12,888 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The amount of deferred international withholding taxes and Internal Revenue Code Section 986(c) gains and losses relating to these subsidiaries is approximately $2,419 and $1,237 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s gross NOLs for tax return purposes were as follows:
 
Year ended December 31,
 20232022
US Federal NOLs$697 $11,881 
State and local NOLs14,465 10,992 
Foreign NOLs27,163 30,804 
Total $42,325 $53,677 
Domestic (federal and state) NOLs expire in various years starting from 2030 through an indefinite period. Foreign NOLs expire starting from 2026 (Argentina) through an indefinite period (Germany, UK). A portion of domestic (federal and state) NOLs are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 or similar provisions, but the net operating loss carryforwards are expected to be fully realized. The table above reflects gross NOLs for tax return purposes which are different than financial statement NOLs, as the Company’s intention is to settle additional income taxes from tax contingencies with NOLs. The other tax credit carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2033. The Company’s intention is to settle the tax contingencies associated with the research and development credits with the attribute.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were reconciled as follows:
December 31,
202320222021
Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1$5,456 $3,162 $2,373 
Increases - prior year tax positions582 60 508 
Decreases - prior year tax positions(292)(231)(410)
Increases - current year tax positions753 2,562 691 
Lapse of statute of limitations(123)(97) 
Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31$6,376 $5,456 $3,162 
The balances of unrecognized tax benefits of $6,376 and $5,456 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, represent amounts that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate in future periods.
The Company recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company accrued $594 and $471 for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the US and several foreign jurisdictions including Australia, Argentina, Germany, the UK and Israel. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite the belief that the Company’s tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax audits. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.
As of December 31, 2023, the Israeli subsidiary’s tax years through December 31, 2017 are subject to statute of limitation in Israel.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2023.
Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2023.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for "emerging growth companies".
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
