DENVER--()--Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), creator of aiWARE, a hyper-expansive enterprise AI platform, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“For the first quarter of 2022, Veritone delivered growth with GAAP revenue up 88%, Pro Forma revenue up 45%, new bookings up 292%, non-volume hiring customers up 100%, and software customers up 45% versus first quarter of 2021,” said Chad Steelberg, Chairman and CEO of Veritone. “More importantly, looking ahead, we continue to see strong demand for aiWARE and remain very bullish on our projected growth. In every economy, artificial intelligence helps companies innovate, differentiate and expand their products and offerings as well as provides them with tools to better optimize, automate and reduce costs and inefficiencies.”

Ryan Steelberg, President of Veritone, added, “AI is alive and growing stronger every day. Our record bookings, strong retention, and new market offerings validate our strategy and investments. In fact, our platform has never been more important to our customers than right now. Notably, our efficient recruitment and hiring is even more critical across all industries and becomes a strategic advantage for those that embrace Veritone’s AI solutions sooner. AI is a singularly disruptive innovation that we believe is still in its early stages of adoption and impact, and Veritone is committed to leading that innovation.”

Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Achieved record first quarter revenue of $34.4 million, up 88% from $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. Software Products & Services revenue reached $18.2 million, 288% greater than the first quarter of 2021, driven by PandoLogic. Managed Services revenue grew to $16.2 million, up 19% compared to the first quarter of 2021, driven by 61% growth in content licensing services. Gross profit increased to $27.5 million, up $14.0 million, or 104%, compared to the first quarter of 2021, driven by the PandoLogic contribution and organic revenue growth. Gross margin improved to 80%, compared to 74% in the first quarter of 2021.

GAAP net loss was $28.4 million, compared to $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net loss was $5.2 million, compared to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was largely driven by higher investments in people and infrastructure costs to grow and scale, coupled with certain one-time non-recurring customer credits incurred in the first quarter 2022 as a result of a site upgrade from one of the third-party hiring platforms, offset by increased gross margins year over year.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $237.6 million, including approximately $69.5 million of cash received from Managed Services clients for future payments to vendors.

About the Presentation of Supplemental Non-GAAP and Pro Forma 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 “Non-GAAP net income (loss)” and “Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.” 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, respectively, 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 diligence costs, and severance and executive search costs. 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, are detailed in the reconciliations included following the financial statements attached to this news release. In addition, following the financial statements attached to this news release, the Company has provided additional 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, and reconciling such non-GAAP measures to the 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 the Company’s aiWARE operating platform of software, SaaS and related services; content licensing and advertising agency 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.

Corporate principally consists of general and administrative functions such as executive, finance, legal, people operations, fixed overhead expenses (including facilities and information technology expenses), other income (expenses) and taxes, and other expenses that support the entire Company, including public company driven costs.

Software Products & Services consists of revenues generated from commercial enterprise and government and regulated industries customers using our aiWARE platform and PandoLogic’s talent acquisition software product solutions, any related support and maintenance services, and any related professional services associated with the deployment and/or implementation of such solutions.

Managed Services consist of revenues generated from commercial enterprise customers using our content licensing services and advertising agency and related services.

Pro Forma includes historical Software Products & Services revenue from the past five 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, 2021.

(1) “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, 2021.

(2) “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. and/or deemed by the Company to be under an active contract for the applicable periods.

(3) “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.

(4) “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).

(5) “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.
