Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP, as permitted by Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 include Veritone, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The Company determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Note 4, Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations, and Divestiture, for further details.
Revenue recognition for on-premise software
The Company enters into software license agreements with customers that provide for the on-premises deployment of its aiWARE platform or components thereof. These software licenses grant customers a right to use the software as it exists at the point in time the license is granted. The software has significant standalone functionality and does not require ongoing updates or support from the Company to remain functional. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for these distinct software licenses at a point in time, which occurs when the software is made available for download and the customer obtains control.
In certain transactions that included on-premises licenses, the Company also provides post-contract customer support (“PCS”), professional services, and other support services in conjunction with the software license. These additional services represent distinct performance obligations and are recognized as control transfers to the customer. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices.

In certain instances, the Company sells on-premises software licenses in barter transactions where the Company receives consideration in the form of trade credits (non-cash consideration) that may be used in exchange for services or other assets used in the ordinary course of business. The transaction price for these contracts is measured at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the software promised to the customer. Barter revenues are included on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss within Revenue.

Trade Credits
The Company provides software licenses as barter transactions in exchange for other assets, such as trade credits, in the ordinary course of business. Trade credits may be redeemed for advertising media, VDR revenue share or other goods and services made available by certain partners and are recorded at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the software promised to the customer. Management monitors trade credit usage and evaluates the need for potential write-downs for estimated trade credits that are expected to remain unused prior to their expiration based on forecasted usage.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During 2025 and through the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately $154.9 million through the issuance and sale of its common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase its common stock in multiple equity offerings. See Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, and Note 14, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
On November 6, 2025, the Company provided notice under the Credit Agreement that it intends to repay in full all outstanding amounts under the Term Loan Facility on November 12, 2025 for an aggregate amount of $36.7 million in cash. The repayment amount reflects the outstanding principal amount of loans under the Term Loan Facility of $31.8 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon of $0.5 million, and a prepayment premium equal to 14% of such principal amount. Following such repayment, the Company’s obligations under the Term Loan Facility will be terminated.
On November 6, 2025, the Company also entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of its Convertible Notes to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) approximately 50% of the outstanding Convertible Notes or approximately $45.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertibles Notes, comprising a combination of (i) approximately $39.0 million in cash and (ii) the issuance of 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Repurchases are expected to close on or about November 12, 2025, subject to certain closing conditions. Following the closing of the Repurchases, the Company intends to cancel the repurchased Convertible Notes and, after such cancellation of repurchased Convertible Notes, approximately $45.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes will remain outstanding.
Based on the Company’s liquidity position as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements 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/A, principally driven by the Company’s debt repayment obligations, historical negative cash flows and recurring losses. As a result, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next twelve months.
The Company will continue to explore potential financing structures, in addition to those we have already completed, which it believes could improve its current liquidity position and balance sheet. The Company also continues to evaluate additional strategies to obtain funding for future operations, including, but not limited to, obtaining equity financing 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 its past acquisitions.
The Company may not be able to access additional equity under acceptable terms, and may not be successful in future financial and operational restructurings, earning any of its deferred purchase consideration, or growing its revenue base, and its ability to execute on its operating plans may be materially adversely impacted. 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.
See Note 5, Debt, Note 11, Stockholders’ Equity, and Note 14, Subsequent Events, for more information regarding the Term Loan, Convertible Notes, equity offerings, the 2025 Term Loan Repayment, and the 2025 Repurchase Transaction.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the accounting recognition and presentation of revenue, allowance for credit losses, purchase accounting, impairment of long-lived assets, the valuation of contingent consideration, including future escrow and earnout consideration on the divestiture of Veritone One, the valuation of senior secured debt, the valuation of non-cash consideration received in barter transactions, the valuation of stock awards and stock warrants, and income taxes, where applicable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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 elevated interest rates and the imposition of tariffs, trade tensions, and global trade disputes. 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/A.
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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2024 did not have a material financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company has added increased disclosures within the Segment Reporting section of Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies, to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring: (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by: (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with Regulation S-X, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods that is generally not presented in the financial statements today. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU allows entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the 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. This ASU modernizes the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40 and improves the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices under the Company’s contracts allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $28,009, approximately 58% of which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter to be recognized over the next five years. This aggregate amount excludes amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts that have an original duration of one year or less and variable consideration that is allocated to remaining performance obligations. Excluded based on this policy are balances related to Veritone Hire solutions representing gross purchase orders to be satisfied in less than one year. Revenues will be recognized net of costs to fulfill these orders.
Segment Information
Segment Information
The Company operates as one reportable segment. The Company reports segment information based on the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources using consolidated net loss as reported within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM also uses loss from operations to assess the performance of the segment to allocate resources, including but not limited to, employees, property, financial and capital, primarily the annual budget and periodic forecasting process. The CODM considers variances to budget or forecast on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis in making these decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segment. The Company, through its single reportable segment, is managed on a consolidated basis.
Significant segment expenses, which represent the difference between revenue and loss from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, consist of the following:

Seasonality
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 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 the Company’s future sales activity or performance in any period.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Note 4, Discontinued Operations, Business Combinations, and Divestiture, for further details.
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
