Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2026

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, 2025 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 March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 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 March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. 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, 2025 (the “2025 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

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.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15,087, working capital deficit of $45,810 and accounts receivable, net of $26,717, and the amount outstanding under our debt obligations was $45,392, net of unamortized discount cost, all of which related to the Convertible Notes. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, net loss was $19,508 and net cash used in operating activities was $11,494. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate significant cash flows, obtain sufficient proceeds from any future offerings of securities, and/or obtain alternative financing prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes in November 2026. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future as it continues to invest in growing its business. To alleviate these conditions, management is actively engaged in discussions to obtain alternative financing prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes in November 2026. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain alternative financing as it is ultimately outside of the control of the Company.

In the near term, and to meet its obligations as they come due, the Company is evaluating additional 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.

Due to the Company’s projected cash needs (which includes amounts that will become due under the Convertible Notes upon their maturity in November 2026) combined with its current liquidity level and history of net losses and cash used to fund operating activities, there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

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, earning any of its deferred purchase consideration, meeting its minimum liquidity threshold under its Credit Agreement 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.

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

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, impairment of long-lived assets, the valuation of contingent consideration, 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 lingering economic disruption caused by international conflicts, financial instability, the global inflationary environment and elevated interest rates and the imposition of tariffs, trade tensions, and global trade disputes. The Israel-Hamas and Iran conflicts have 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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. The adoption of this guidance during the first quarter of 2026 did not have a material financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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 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

As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices under the Company’s contracts allocated to the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $24,564, approximately 61% 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

The Company operates as one reporting 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 operations before provision for income taxes, consist of the following:

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.

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.
