Financial Results for Three Months Ended December 31, 2021
Revenue was a record $55.1 million, which more than tripled from $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Software Products & Services revenue, including revenue from the recently acquired PandoLogic Ltd., was $40.2 million, 814% greater than the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by the September 2021 acquisition of PandoLogic and over 40% growth from organic Software Products & Services. Managed Services revenue grew to $14.9 million, up 20% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross profit increased to $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, up $36.2 million, or 185% year over year, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by the PandoLogic contribution and organic revenue growth. Gross margin improved to 89%, compared to 76% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
GAAP net loss was $15.9 million, compared to $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income was $17.0 million, improving $20.9 million year-over-year compared to non-GAAP net loss of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. This was driven by Core Operations non-GAAP net income contribution of $21.2 million, reflecting higher gross margins, partially offset by greater operating expenses to support the Company’s growth.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $254.7 million, including approximately $66.4 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 Revenue - Pro Forma” includes historical Software Products & Services revenue from the past six (6) 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. |
|
(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. |
|
(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). This also excludes PandoLogic new bookings for Q3 and Q4 2020 as those periods were deemed immaterial and data was not readily available. |
|
(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. |
