Inuvo sells its information technology solutions to agencies and brands (collectively, “Agencies & Brands”) along with large consolidators of advertising demand (“Platforms”). Inuvo’s revenue is derived from the placement of digital advertising across devices, websites, applications and browsers within social, search and programmatic advertising channels. Inuvo facilitates and gets paid to deliver advertising messages and counts among its clients numerous world-renowned companies across industries.
The AI, marketed as IntentKey was designed to replace the consumer data, analytics, segmentation and lookalike modeling technologies that have traditionally served the advertising industry as it transitions to a new paradigm where targeting based on a consumer’s identity and data are no longer possible due to the legislative and technological changes occurring.
Inuvo’s AI technology solves the identity challenge by leveraging artificial intelligence, data analytics, and automation that can optimize the purchase and placement of advertising in real time without consumer data. The technology can be consumed by Agency & Brands clients as a managed service or software-as-a-service (SaaS). Additionally, Inuvo has developed proprietary technology and assets tailored to certain clients that include digital content, websites, automated campaigns, ad fraud detection, performance reporting, and predictive media mix modeling.
Both Agencies & Brands and Platforms benefit from Inuvo’s ability to intelligently process vast amounts of data, detect patterns in behavior, and enhance advertising efficiency, whether through direct media execution or integration into existing campaign management systems. Agencies & Brands utilize our artificial intelligence-based consumer intent recognition system to reach highly targeted mobile and desktop in-market audiences with precision. The solution can serve multiple creative formats including display, video, audio and native across multiple device types including desktop, mobile, tablet, connected/smart TV and game consoles. For our Platform clients, we utilize a collection of data, analytics, software, content management and website creation technologies to align merchant advertising messages with online content.
Inuvo’s intellectual property is protected by 18 issued and three pending patents.

Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are the sale of our common stock and our credit facility discussed in Note 5 - Bank Debt.
On May 7, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of our common stock, par value $
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the "Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance LLC ("SLR”), effective July 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, SLR will finance up to $
In March 2025, we received a payment from the Internal Revenue Service of $
As of September 30, 2025, we have approximately $
Management plans to support the Company’s future operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash generated from its credit facility until such time as we reach profitability. Any repayments of the financing agreement will be made through collections from eligible accounts receivable. We believe that our current cash position, credit facility, and the equity raised through our ATM program during 2025 will be sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. If our plan to grow the IntentKey product is unsuccessful or revenue from Platforms does not increase, we may need to fund operations through private or public sales of securities, debt financings or partnering/licensing transactions over the long term. Funding from sales of securities, debt financings or other sources may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. These uncertainties could adversely impact our future liquidity.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented are for Inuvo and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s regular evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to capitalized labor and income tax valuation allowance. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue by identifying audiences and presenting advertisements on behalf of our customers. We provide our products, technologies and services to Agencies & Brands and Platforms. Currently, revenue from Agencies & Brands is primarily through our IntentKey products and services and revenue from Platforms is primarily through our Bonfire products and services. Our revenue is derived from the placements of advertisements across advertising channels, browsers, applications and devices. Pricing for those advertisement placements is typically either on a cost-per-click or cost per thousand impressions basis.
Our revenue is a function of the number of advertisements placed combined with the price we obtain (using our technologies) for the placements made on behalf of our clients. We assume the risk associated with finding placements at a cost below that for which it had been sold.
We recognize revenue when control of the contracted services or product is transferred to our customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. We determine revenue recognition through (i) identification of a contract with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
For Agencies & Brands, the terms of an agreement are captured in an Insertion Order ("IO") where revenue is recognized upon delivery of services during the period covered by the IO. For Platforms, terms are generally captured in multi-year master service agreements and revenue is recognized based on the number of advertisements placed or clicked on in the period they occur. We settle advertisement placement prices with our customers net of any adjustments for quality.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption has an impact on disclosures with no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, nor financial position.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures of the nature of certain expenses within income statement captions. The standard introduces a tabular disclosure of specified natural expense categories (e.g., inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization) included within relevant line items on the face of the income statement, along with qualitative descriptions of remaining amounts. It also requires disclosure of certain expense, gain, or loss amounts already required under U.S. GAAP and the total amount of selling expenses, including the definition of selling expenses in annual periods. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption will affect disclosures only and is not expected to impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes guidance for internal-use software costs and relocates the website development-costs guidance (previously in Subtopic 350-50) into Subtopic 350-40. The amendments require enhanced disclosures for capitalized software costs under ASC 350-40 and ASC 360-10, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is expected to affect disclosures only and is not anticipated to impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
In July 2025, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient for all entities and a policy election (for entities other than public business entities) for estimating expected credit losses applicable to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods (early adoption permitted). The adoption is expected to affect disclosures only and is not anticipated to impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain a stock-based compensation program intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees and directors and align stockholder and employee interests. During the nine months ended 2025 and 2024, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) from the 2017 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (“2017 ECP”), and the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (“2025 Plan”). RSU vesting periods are generally up to three years and/or based upon achieving certain financial targets.
On March 21, 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to adopt the 2025 Plan, subject to the approval of our stockholders at the annual meeting held on May 22, 2025. The stockholders approved the adoption of the 2025 Plan as the successor to the 2017 ECP. All awards granted under the 2017 ECP prior to approval of the 2025 Plan remain outstanding and continue in full force and effect under the terms of the 2017 ECP; however, no new awards may be granted under the 2017 ECP following the effective date of the 2025 Plan. At September 30, 2025, there were

The fair value of RSUs is determined using market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. The forfeiture rate, which is estimated at a weighted average of

Reverse Stock Split
On June 10, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders entitled to receive a fractional share received a whole share rounded up.
The reverse stock split did not affect the total number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of common stock.
All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements and notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Earnings per share
For the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we generated a net loss from continuing operations. Consequently, all potential common shares were considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their inclusion would have decreased the reported net loss per share.
Note 11 – Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single reportable segment that places digital advertising throughout devices, websites, applications and browsers across social, search and programmatic advertising channels, facilitating the delivery of millions of advertising messages monthly. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), identified as the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the Company's financial performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on consolidated financial information.
Measure of Segment Profit or Loss
The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on contribution margin, which is calculated as revenue after deducting marketing expenses, exchange fees, and publisher payments. Exchange fees and publisher payments are classified as cost of revenue. The resulting contribution margin covers Inuvo’s fixed costs and profit.
Significant Segment Expenses
The Company reports total revenue and significant expenses provided to the CODM, which include cost of revenue, marketing, and compensation expenses. These expenses are regularly reviewed to assess operating performance. The following table presents these expenses:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview
Inuvo is an advertising technology and services business selling information technology solutions to brands, agencies and large consolidators of advertising demand (“Platforms”). Inuvo’s revenue is derived from the placement of digital advertising throughout devices, websites, applications and browsers across social, search and programmatic advertising channels. Inuvo facilitates, and gets paid, to deliver millions of advertising messages monthly and counts among its client's numerous world-renowned companies across industries.
Inuvo’s primary mission is to disrupt the advertising industry with its proprietary and patented generative large language artificial intelligence (AI), a technology capable of identifying and targeting audiences without using a consumer’s identity or data. The AI was designed to replace the consumer data, analytics, segmentation and lookalike modeling technologies that have traditionally served the advertising industry as it transitions to a new paradigm where a consumer’s identity and data are no longer available for advertising decisions due to legislative and technological changes. Rather than targeting people, the AI targets the reasons behind why people are interested in products, services and brands.
Inuvo’s AI technology solves this challenge and can be consumed by Agency & Brands clients both as a managed service and software-as-a-service. For certain clients, Inuvo has also developed various proprietary technology and assets that include digital content, websites, automated campaigns, ad fraud detection, performance reporting and predictive media mix modeling.
The Inuvo products and services use analytics, data and artificial intelligence in a manner that optimizes the purchase and placement of advertising in real time. These capabilities are typically sold with services both individually and in combination with each other based on client needs. These products and services include:
| · | IntentKey: An artificial intelligence-based consumer intent recognition system designed to reach highly targeted mobile and desktop In-Market audiences with precision; and |
|
|

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The estimates and assumptions that management makes affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used are based upon management’s regular evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. Our significant accounting policies related to Revenue Recognition, Equity-Based Compensation, Capitalized Software Costs, Goodwill, Long-lived Assets and others are described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Net Revenue
Revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, increased approximately $199,000 and revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, increased by approximately $14.3 million compared to the same periods in 2024, respectively. Platform clients represented 82.8% of the overall revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 83.8% in the same quarter of 2024. Platform clients represented 86.2% of the overall revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to 83.6% in the same period of 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, our two largest Platform clients accounted for 62.8% and 19.6% of our overall revenue, respectively. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, our two largest Platform clients accounted for 66.9% and 18.8% of our overall revenue, respectively. Revenue from both Platform clients grew significantly in 2025—one following the launch of a new product in 2023 that we have continued to expand, and the other after we introduced a new product in the fourth quarter of 2024. Agencies & Brands revenue increased 7% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year and it was up 29% compared to the sequential quarter. Through the first nine-months, both Platform and Agency & Brands revenues were up year-over-year.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue is primarily composed of payments to website publishers and app developers that host advertisements. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes payments to advertising exchanges that provide access to digital inventory where we serve advertisements. The increase in cost of revenue for the three-and-nine-months period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024 were primarily related to the change in mix within Platform revenue associated with a new product introduced in the fourth quarter of 2024, mentioned above. The change in gross margin in the current year quarter, 73.4% compared to 88.4% in the same quarter last year was primarily due to a change in the revenue mix.

Marketing costs consist mostly of traffic acquisition (i.e., media) costs and include those expenses required to attract an audience to various web properties. Marketing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were 21.4% lower than the same quarter last year primarily due to lower revenue with a Platform client that provides advertising inventory to owned websites in addition to fully amortizing the remaining balance of $600,000 of the referral and support services asset (see Note 7 - Commitments of our Consolidated Financial Statements) in the third quarter of 2024. Marketing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 5.8% higher compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to higher revenue from Platform advertisers in the comparable periods.

Compensation expense was $39,000 higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same time period in 2024 primarily due to the accrual of separation expense of $150,000. Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $583,000 higher than the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in accrued incentive expense of $633,000 and to accruals of employment and separation agreements of $485,000. Our total employment, both full- and part-time, was 80 at September 30, 2025 compared to 82 at September 30, 2024.
General and administrative costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased 6.9% and 37.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024 due to a $1.4 million adjustment last year reducing the allowance for expected credit losses primarily for a balance due from a former client in 2022. The client has since paid off its full outstanding balance and no longer has any obligation to us.
Financing expense, net
Financing expense, net of interest income, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was approximately $113,633 and $159,259, respectively.
Financing expense, net of interest income, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately $101,000 and $163,000, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are the sale of our common stock and our credit facility discussed in Note 5 - Bank Debt.
On May 7, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $15,000,000, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which Wainwright will act as sales agent. The sales of the Shares made under the ATM Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will pay Wainwright a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we have not sold any shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement. We utilized the ATM Agreement and sold 165,641 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $1,184,740 during 2025.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the "Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance LLC ("SLR”), effective July 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, SLR will finance up to $10 million subject to availability based on the amount of eligible accounts receivable. Eligibility is determined by criteria such as geographic location of the customer and aging of receivables. As of September 30, 2025, our accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, was $9,930,168, of which a substantial portion qualified as eligible under the agreement. At September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance due under the Financing Agreement was $3,383,293. See Note 5 - Bank Debt.
In March 2025, we received a payment from the Internal Revenue Service of $610,352, and in June 2025 we received an additional payment from the Internal Revenue Service of $606,156. These amounts were recorded as other income and interest income, in connection with an amended form filed in May 2023 for the Employee Retention Credit related to the first and second quarters of 2021.
As of September 30, 2025, we have approximately $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and our net working capital deficit was $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used $1.8 million in cash from operations Additionally, cash used in our investing activities totaled $1,240,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This amount primarily consists of internally developed software costs, which are largely comprised of fixed labor costs, along with other capitalized expenditures. We have encountered recurring losses and cash outflows from operations, which historically we have funded through equity offerings and debt facilities. Through September 30, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $177.7 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 we experienced lower revenue from Platform clients as a result of changes to policies and procedures required by a Platform client. We expect revenue to increase as a result of making the necessary changes to comply with these requirements.
Management plans to support the Company’s future operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash generated from
its credit facility until such time as we reach profitability. Any repayments of the financing agreement will be made through collections from eligible accounts receivable. We believe that our current cash position, credit facility, and the equity raised through our ATM program during 2025 will be sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. If our plan to grow the IntentKey product is unsuccessful or revenue from Platforms does not increase, we may need to fund operations through private or public sales of securities, debt financings or partnering/licensing transactions over the long term. Funding from sales of securities, debt financings or other sources may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. These uncertainties could adversely impact our future liquidity.

Cash Flows - Operating
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,807,308 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We reported a net loss of $4,501,648, which included non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization expense of $1,685,756, depreciation of right of use assets of $17,287, and stock-based compensation expense of $842,887. The change in operating assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a net provision of cash of $48,874 primarily due to a decrease of $2,611,148 in accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease of other liabilities of $1,636,113. Our terms are such that we generally collect receivables prior to paying trade payables. However, our Media sales arrangements typically have slower payment terms than the terms of related payables.
During the comparable nine-month period in 2024, cash used in operating activities was $100,345 from a net loss of $5,903,142 and included several non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization expense of $1,951,196 and stock-based compensation expense of $1,087,533. The change in operating assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was a net provision of cash of $3,210,679.
Cash Flows - Investing
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,240,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and consisted primarily of capitalized internal development costs.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,409,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and consisted primarily of capitalized internal development costs.
Cash Flows - Financing
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,968,636 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and was primarily due to the utilization of our Financing Agreement as discussed in Note 5 - Bank Debt.
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $343,526 and was primarily due to taxes paid on restricted stock unit grants exercised.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2025, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded their evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As of the evaluation date, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS-UPDATE
We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Accordingly, we incorporate by reference the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, subject to the new or modified risk factors appearing below that should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in such Form 10-K and our subsequent filings.
We rely on two customers for a significant portion of our revenues. We are reliant upon two customers for most of our revenue. For the three-month period ending September 30, 2025, two Platform customers accounted for 62.8% and 19.6% of our overall revenue, respectively and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, 66.9% and 18.8% of our overall revenue, respectively. During the same period in 2024, we were reliant upon one platform customer for most of our revenue. For the three-month period ending September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 79.9% of our overall revenue, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, 76.5% of our overall revenue. The amount of revenue we receive from these customers is dependent on a number of factors outside of our control, including changes in the respective customer's advertising budget, both in terms of allocated dollars and media mix, financial resources of the customers, as well as general economic conditions. We would likely experience a significant decline in revenue and our business operations could be significantly harmed if these customers do not continue to utilize our services. Additionally, our business operations and financial condition could be significantly harmed if these customers do not pay for our services on a timely basis. The loss of any of these customers or a material change in the revenue or gross profit they generate or their failure to timely pay us for our services would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods.

Trading Plans
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

EXHIBIT 31.1
Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certification
I, Richard K. Howe, certify that:
I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Inuvo, Inc.;
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
