Financial Results for Three Months Ended December 31, 2022

Delivered fourth quarter revenue of $43.9 million, a decrease of $11.3 million or 20% from $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Driving this decrease was Software Products & Services revenue of $27.2 million, which declined $13.0 million or 32% year over year principally due to reductions in overall consumption of our human resources and hiring solutions as a result of exiting the COVID-19 environment in the fourth quarter of 2021, where some of our larger customers experienced an overall pull-back in consumer demand for their services in the fourth quarter of 2022 and as a result were hiring less. Offsetting this decrease was Managed Services revenue of $16.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 12% from $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, principally driven by the growth in our licensing and advertising services.

Loss from operations increased 40% to $10.0 million. The year over year decline in Software Products & Services revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022 largely drove a corresponding decline of $11.7 million in our Non-GAAP Gross Profit of $37.2 million as compared to Non-GAAP Gross Profit of $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin was 84.7% as compared to 88.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

GAAP net income of $5.0 million increased $14.9 million as compared to a net loss of $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven largely by a net $19.1 million one-time gain on the repurchase of our convertible notes in the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP net income was $2.2 million, a decline of $14.8 million as compared to $17.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 that was largely driven by the decrease in Non-GAAP Gross Margin coupled with increased investments in personnel, financial systems and professional services to facilitate future scale and growth.

Financial Results for Full Year Ended December 31, 2022

Delivered fiscal year 2022 revenue of $149.7 million, an increase of $34.4 million or 30% year over year on a GAAP basis. This increase was largely driven by Software Products & Services revenue of $84.6 million, an increase of $25.1 million or 42% year over year as a result of organic growth and our acquisition of Pandologic in the third quarter of 2021, and secondarily from Managed Services revenue of $65.2 million, an increase of $9.4 million or 17% year over year. Excluding hiring solutions revenue from the Pandologic acquisition, Software Products & Services increased 28% year over year led by growth in our commercial media and entertainment products and services. And on a Pro Forma basis, fiscal year 2022 Pro Forma Revenue increased 1% from fiscal year 2021 Pro Forma Revenue of $148.1 million driven by a decline in Software Products & Services of $7.8 million or 8% driven by reductions in services used by Amazon, offset by the $9.2 million increase in Managed Services. Excluding the revenues from the PandoLogic acquisition, revenue grew more than 60% year over year in fiscal year 2022 as compared to fiscal year 2021.

Loss from operations decreased 38% to $38.0 million. Non-GAAP gross profit was $122.3 million, an increase of $29.1 million or 31% year over year. Non-GAAP Gross Margin improved to 81.7% in fiscal year 2022 as compared to 80.8% in fiscal year 2021, primarily driven by the growth and higher mix of Software Products & Services revenue in fiscal year 2022 as compared to fiscal year 2021.

GAAP net loss was $25.2 million, an improvement of $39.5 million as compared to $64.7 million in fiscal year 2021, primarily driven by the net $19.1 million gain on the repurchase of approximately $60 million of our convertible notes and a benefit of $22.7 million in fiscal year 2022 versus an expense of $12.1 million in fiscal year 2021 as a result of the PandoLogic earnout, coupled with full year interest expense in fiscal year 2022 from our 1.75% convertible notes and various changes in other operating expenses year over year. Non-GAAP net loss was $15.9 million as compared to Non-GAAP net income of $6.8 million in fiscal year 2021. The primary drivers of the year over year change in Non-GAAP net loss/income were investments made in Core Operations, most notably additions of sales and engineering staff made in the first half of fiscal year 2022 and investments in Corporate largely around new system launches and to support our growth and regulatory compliance in fiscal year 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $184.4 million as of December 31, 2022, as compared to $254.7 million as of December 31, 2021, including approximately $92.9 million of cash received from Managed Services clients for future payments to vendors.

About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Information

In this news release, the Company has supplemented its financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Pro Forma Revenue, Average Annual Revenue (AAR), Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and Non-GAAP net loss (pro forma). The Company has posted additional supplemental financial information on its website at investors.veritone.com concurrently with this press release.

Pro Forma Revenue includes historical Software Products & Services revenue from the past eight fiscal quarters of each of Veritone, Inc. and PandoLogic Ltd. (unaudited) and presents such revenue on a combined pro forma basis treating PandoLogic Ltd. as owned by Veritone, Inc. since January 1, 2021. Average Annual Revenue (AAR) is calculated as the aggregate of trailing twelve-month Software Products & Services Pro Forma Revenue divided by the average number of customers over the same period for both Veritone, Inc. and PandoLogic Ltd. Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of warrant liability, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, a reserve for state sales taxes, charges related to a facility sublease, gain on sale of asset, warrant expense, acquisition and diligence costs, and severance and executive search costs. Non-GAAP net loss (pro forma) is the Company’s Non-GAAP net income (loss) presented on a combined pro forma basis treating PandoLogic Ltd. as owned by Veritone, Inc. since January 1, 2021. The items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a breakdown of GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and these excluded items between the Company’s Core Operations and Corporate, are detailed in the reconciliations included following the financial statements attached to this news release. In addition, following the financial statements attached to this news release, the Company has provided additional supplemental non-GAAP measures of operating expenses, loss from operations, other income (expense), net, and loss before income taxes, excluding the items excluded from non-GAAP net loss as noted above, and reconciling such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes such information to be important supplemental measures of performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Other companies (including the Company’s competitors) may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently.

These non-GAAP financial measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Veritone or predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, the Company defines the following capitalized terms in this news release as follows:

Core Operations consists of the Company’s aiWARE operating platform of software, SaaS and related services; content licensing and advertising agency services; and their supporting operations, including direct costs of sales as well as operating expenses for sales, marketing and product development and certain general and administrative costs dedicated to these operations.

Corporate principally consists of general and administrative functions such as executive, finance, legal, people operations, fixed overhead expenses (including facilities and information technology expenses), other income (expenses) and taxes, and other expenses that support the entire Company, including public company driven costs.

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding the Company’s expectations regarding its plan to capitalize on customer-based momentum and the Company’s expected total revenue and Non-GAAP net loss for Q1 2023 and for full year 2023. In addition, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “should,” “could,” “estimate” or “continue” or the plural, negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and are based on management’s current assumptions, beliefs and information. As such, the Company’s actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause such differences include, among other things, our ability to expand our aiWARE SaaS business, declines or limited growth in the market for AI-based software applications and concerns over the use of AI that may hinder the adoption of AI technologies, our requirements for additional capital to support our business growth, and the availability of such capital on acceptable terms, if at all, our reliance upon a limited number of key customers for a significant portion of our revenue, fluctuations in our results over time, the impact of seasonality on our business, our ability to manage our growth, including through acquisitions and our further expansion into international markets, our ability to enhance our existing products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, actions by our competitors, partners and others that may block us from using the technology in our aiWARE platform, offering it for free to the public or making it cost prohibitive to continue to incorporate their technologies into our platform, interruptions, performance problems or security issues with our technology and infrastructure, or that of our third party service providers, the impact of the continuing economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the business of the Company and that of our existing and potential customers and increasing interest rates, inflationary pressures and the threat of a recession in the United States and around the world; as well as the impact of future economic, competitive and market conditions, particularly those related to its strategic end markets; and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Certain of these judgments and risks are discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s objectives or plans will be achieved.

(4) “Total New Bookings” represents the total fees payable during the full contract term for new contracts received in the quarter (including fees payable during any cancellable portion and an estimate of license fees that may fluctuate over the term), excluding any variable fees under the contract (e.g., fees for cognitive processing, storage, professional services and other variable services).

(5) “Gross Revenue Retention”: We calculate our dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end by starting with the revenue from Ending Software Customers for Software Products & Services as of the 3 months in the prior year quarter to such period, or Prior Year Quarter Revenue. We then deduct from the Prior Year Quarter Revenue any revenue from Ending Software Customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Ending Software Customer Revenue. We then divide the total Current Period Ending Software Customer Revenue by the total Prior Year Quarter Revenue to arrive at our dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of revenue from all Ending Software Customers from our Software Products & Services as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn
