On August 10, 2020, Veritone, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, as well as its outlook for certain financial measures for the third quarter of 2020.  The press release issued by the Company in connection with the announcement is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.

This information shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In the press release attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1, the Company has supplemented its financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with non-GAAP financial measures.  These non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons for their inclusion, as well as the limitations on the usefulness of such information to an investor, are described below.

The Company has provided non-GAAP measures of “Non-GAAP net loss” and “Non-GAAP net loss per share,” which represent the Company’s net loss and net loss per share, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses, as well as certain acquisition, integration and financing-related costs, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.   The Company has also provided guidance regarding its expected Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2020.

Tables detailing the items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciling such non-GAAP results and guidance with the Company’s GAAP results and guidance are included following the financial statements that are a part of the press release. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to 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 Non-GAAP net loss or Non-GAAP net loss per share differently.

In addition, the Company has provided supplemental non-GAAP measures of gross profit, 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 that are applicable to such measures, and reconciling such non-GAAP measures to the applicable GAAP measures.

The Company has provided these non-GAAP measures in addition to its GAAP results because management believes that they are 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. This non-GAAP financial information may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company 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 reported in accordance with GAAP.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net revenues were $13.3 million, compared with $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2019.  Net revenues in the second quarter of 2020 were comprised of $7.0 million from Advertising, $3.0 million from aiWARE SaaS solutions, and $3.2 million from aiWARE content licensing and media services.  The Company saw significant rebounds in its Advertising and Content Licensing businesses from the first quarter levels, though its Content Licensing business

continues to be constrained by the cancellation of major sporting events and slower activity in film and television production.  The Company’s SaaS business delivered 12.1% year-over-year growth, but was 3.4% lower sequentially due to a software license in the first quarter that did not recur.

Gross margins were 67.4%, compared with 62.8%  in the second quarter of 2019, due primarily to lower computing costs resulting from the Company’s platform enhancements.

Operating expenses decreased 16.1% to $20.5 million, compared with $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, due to the savings associated with the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

Loss from operations improved $5.2 million to $11.6 million, compared with $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2019.

Net loss improved $4.9 million to $11.8 million, or $0.43 per share, compared with $16.7 million, or $0.80 per share, in the second quarter of 2019.  The lower net loss was due primarily to the savings associated with the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

Non-GAAP net loss improved $3.5 million to $5.7 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with $9.2 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of 2019.  The lower non-GAAP net loss was due primarily to the savings associated with the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

Cash: As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $50.1 million, including $24.2 million of cash received from Advertising clients for future payments to vendors, and no long-term debt.

First Half 2020 Financial Results

Net revenues were $25.2 million, up 3.2% compared with $24.4 million in the first half of 2019.  Net revenues in the first half of 2020 were comprised of $13.0 million from Advertising, $6.1 million from aiWARE SaaS solutions, and $6.0 million from aiWARE content licensing and media services.

Gross margins were 67.7%, compared with 65.4% in the first half of 2019.

Operating expenses decreased 15.9% to $41.4 million, compared with $49.2 million in the first half of 2019.

Loss from operations improved $8.9 million to $24.4 million, compared with $33.2 million in the first half of  2019.

Net loss improved $8.5 million to $24.5 million, or $0.91 per share, compared with $33.0 million, or $1.64 per share, in the first half of 2019.

Non-GAAP net loss improved $6.1 million to $12.4 million, or $0.46 per share, compared with $18.5 million, or $0.92 per share, in the first half of 2019.

Business Outlook For the third quarter of 2020, Veritone expects sequential revenue growth in its Advertising business and from SaaS customers in the Government, Legal and Compliance markets.  The Company expects its total net revenues for the third quarter of 2020 to be in the range of $14.2 million to $14.6 million, assuming that major sporting events occur in line with current schedules and that the Company’s Advertising clients do not experience further supply chain disruptions.  Based on this expected revenue level and its continuing cost discipline, the Company expects to reduce its non-GAAP net loss sequentially again in the third quarter, to be in the range of $5.7 million to $5.3 million.
