Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), creator of aiWARE, a hyper-expansive Enterprise AI platform, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Veritone reported record revenue of $22.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, reflecting its sixth consecutive record quarter, driven by greater than 40% growth from its organic Software Products & Services as well as contributions from PandoLogic Ltd., the AI-enabled recruitment platform company acquired on September 14, 2021. For the third quarter of 2021, GAAP net loss was $11.4 million. Non-GAAP net loss was $2.3 million, improving $2.0 million compared with the third quarter of 2020.

“Veritone’s third quarter of 2021 was transformative financially and operationally,” said Chad Steelberg, Chairman and CEO of Veritone. “We acquired PandoLogic, which with just two weeks’ contribution helped drive 44% top line growth year-over-year. Our integration is delivering synergies and providing us confidence to raise our full year 2021 revenue guidance, the midpoint of which represents over 80% growth compared to 2020.”

The Company’s performance reflects a maturing platform with its more comprehensive suite of Software Products & Services (including PandoLogic) and Managed Services. Accordingly, management has presenting its revenue to report as between these categories as well as by its Commercial Enterprise and Government & Regulated Industries (GRI) customer groups.

Ryan Steelberg, President of Veritone added, “We expect to finish 2021 positioned stronger than ever. As a recognized leader in the AI and machine learning ecosystem, Veritone is poised to further accelerate its growth and extend AI into all industries across the globe.”

Financial Results for Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2021

Revenue was a record $22.7 million, compared with $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. The 44% year on year growth reflects a $5.7 million, or 169%, increase in Software Products & Services revenue, including the recently acquired PandoLogic, coupled with a $1.3 million, or 10%, increase in Managed Services. Gross profit reached $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, a $5.6 million, or 50%, increase year over year, compared with the third quarter of 2020, driven largely by the PandoLogic contribution and revenue growth. Gross margin improved to 74% versus 71% in the third quarter of 2020.

GAAP net loss was $11.4 million, compared with $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net loss was $2.3 million, improving $2.0 million year-over-year compared with $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. This was driven by the $1.5 million improvement in Core Operations, which reported third quarter of 2021 non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million reflecting higher gross margins partially offset by greater operating expenses to support the Company’s growth.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $72.6 million, including approximately $57.0 million of cash received from Managed Services clients for future payments to vendors, and no long-term debt.

About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP 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 “gross profit,” “non-GAAP net income (loss),” and “non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.” Gross profit is the Company’s revenue less its cost of 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, 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 due diligence costs, and severance and executive search costs. Tables detailing 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, and reconciling such non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included following the financial statements attached to this news release. In addition, following the financial statements attached to the press release, the Company has provided supplemental non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating expenses, loss from operations, other (expense) income, 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 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 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 our consolidated Software Products & Services (including recently acquired PandoLogic Ltd.) and Managed Services that include our content licensing and advertising 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.

(3): “Software Revenue - Pro Forma” includes historical Software Products & Services revenue from the past five (5) 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, 2020.

(4): “Ending Customers” includes Software Products & Services customers as of the end of each respective quarter set forth above with trailing twelve-month revenues in excess of $2,400 for both Veritone, Inc. and PandoLogic Ltd.

(5): “Average Annual Revenue (AAR)” is calculated as the aggregate of trailing twelve-month Software Products & Services revenue divided by the average number of customers over the same period for both Veritone, Inc. and PandoLogic Ltd.

(6): “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). This also excludes PandoLogic new bookings for Q3 and Q4 2020 as those periods were deemed immaterial and data was not readily available.

(7): “Gross Revenue Retention”: We calculate our dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end by starting with the revenue from Ending 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 Customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Ending Customer Revenue. We then divide the total Current Period Ending 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 Customers from our Software Products & Services as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn.
