CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “continue,” “can,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial condition and results of operations, capital needs and financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth and market opportunities, acquisition, sale or divestiture plans and strategies, compensation plans, governance structure and policies and/or the price of our common stock.
The forward-looking statements included herein represent our management’s current expectations and assumptions based on information available as of the date of this report. These statements involve numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. You should carefully review these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this report.
Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
1
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

VERITONE, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)

NOTE 2. PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are based on the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments that are normal, recurring and necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected in the three and six month periods presented are unaudited. The December 31, 2023 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles assuming the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months through August 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company used cash in operations of $
Based on the Company’s liquidity position at June 30, 2024 and the Company’s current forecast of operating results and cash flows, absent any other action, management determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, principally driven by the Company’s current debt service obligations, historical negative cash flows and recurring losses. The Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next twelve months.
8
In the near term, and to meet its obligations as they come due, the Company is evaluating strategies to obtain funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, debt and/or further restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease operating expenses, which include capturing past cost reductions and potential future cost synergies from the Company’s past acquisitions.
In addition, management recently commenced a formal process to divest a material non-software asset (the “Asset”), which transaction management intends to close within the twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If consummated, the sale of the Asset is expected to generate substantial cash proceeds to be used to repay a portion of the Term Loan and fund future operations. There is no assurance that such transaction will close in the subsequent twelve-month period, or at all, and as a result, these cash flows have been excluded from management’s plans to remediate the doubt of going concern.
The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company may not be able to access additional equity under acceptable terms, and may not be successful in future operational restructurings or at growing its revenue base. If the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to dispose of other or additional assets and might realize significantly less value than the values at which they are carried on its condensed consolidated financial statements. These actions may cause the Company’s stockholders to lose all or part of their investment in the Company’s common stock. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company being unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of its assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to the accounting recognition and presentation of revenue, allowance for credit losses, purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, the valuation of senior secured debt, the valuation of non-cash consideration received in barter transactions and the evaluation of its realizability, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants and income taxes, where applicable.
There has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets due to a number of factors including the wars in Ukraine and Israel, the global inflationary environment and high interest rates. The war in Israel has also adversely impacted the Company’s business operations because the Company has an office and personnel based in Herzliya, Israel. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Segment Information
Seasonality
The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations in its revenue and operating performance as a result of the utilization of its platform and associated revenues from its Software Products & Services. In particular, Veritone Hire solutions revenues and advertising have historically been higher in the second half of each fiscal year, consistent with the hiring and spending cycles of the Company’s larger customers. The Company also experiences seasonality as a result of factors such as the timing of large projects, the length and complexity of sales cycles, trends impacting the Company’s target vertical markets and the Company’s revenue recognition policies and any changes to those policies. Within a given quarter, a higher proportion of the Company’s agreements are signed toward the end of such quarter. Although these seasonal factors are common in the technology industry, historical patterns should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future sales activity or performance.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This standard was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 and the impact of the adoption was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in order to align the recognition of a contract liability with the definition of a performance obligation. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Developed technology relates to Broadbean’s internally developed software. The Company valued the developed technology using the relief- from- royalty method under the income approach. This method is based on the application of a royalty rate to forecasted revenue that is expected to be generated by the existing developed technology. The economic useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to the developed technology, as well as the timing of cash flows over the forecast period. Customer relationships relate to the sales of products and services to Broadbean’s existing customer base. The Company valued the customer relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. This method reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the existing customer relationships less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer turnover rates, as well as the timing of cash flows over the forecast period.
