\nToday, the Company is clarifying its third-quarter commentary and providing context on certain non-cash and non-operational expenses that affected the third quarter of 2025 because of certain published reports.<\/p>\n
\nThe one-time $8.0 million expense recorded in the third quarter of 2025 was a non-operational and non-cash expense reflecting the estimated change in the potential earn-out of the divestiture of Veritone One, from October 2024. The change in the estimated earnout from this transaction which closed over a year ago has no impact on the Company\u2019s ongoing operations.<\/p>\n
\nIn the third quarter of 2025, net loss from continuing operations was $26.9 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 20%, as compared to Q3 2024. The change was primarily driven by the aforementioned $8.0 million non-cash adjustment in the estimated fair value of the Veritone One earnout, a business that the Company sold in October of 2024, and a $2.2 million change in the Company\u2019s tax provision. These changes were partially offset by a $6.7 million improvement in operating loss.<\/p>\n
\nDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Veritone reported a non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $5.8 million, an improvement of 47.8%, or $5.3 million, from $11.1 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Using non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations, which excludes certain non-recurring and one time expenses, including the $8.0 million earnout expense in the period, the adjusted loss per share from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $(0.09) per share, as compared to $(0.29) per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an improvement of $0.20 per share or 69%. The improvement was principally due to the year over year growth in non-GAAP gross profit, coupled with lower operating losses driven by increased discipline on cost management. The Company believes this adjusted result more accurately reflects the earnings power and sustainable run-rate of its model.<\/p>\n
\nVeritone remains confident in its bottom line outlook, as reflected in the guidance issued in its earnings release on Thursday, November 6:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nQ4 2025 non-GAAP net loss is projected to be between $1.5 and $5.0 million, compared to $9.7 million in Q4 2024, representing a 66% improvement at the midpoint and a 44% sequential improvement from Q3 2025.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nFull-Year 2025 non-GAAP net loss is expected to be between $31.6 and $26.0 million, representing a 29% year-over-year improvement at the midpoint. This reflects the timing shifts in revenue recognition and temporary margin compression in VDR, which is expected to improve in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
