Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Going Concern Warning: Management has determined there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the filing date. This is driven by debt repayment obligations, historical negative cash flows, and recurring losses.

Recent Capital Actions (Subsequent Events):

• Debt Repayment: On November 6, 2025, the company announced it will repay its entire Term Loan ($36.7 million) on November 12, 2025.
• Debt Repurchase: The company entered into agreements to repurchase approximately 50% of its outstanding Convertible Notes ($45.7 million principal) using cash and stock issuance.
• Equity Raises: The company raised approximately $154.9 million in net proceeds through various equity offerings in 2025, including a $70.3 million registered direct offering in October 2025.

Outlook: The company expects continued growth in its VDR and Public Sector pipelines, which reached approximately $40.0 million and $218 million respectively as of October 2025. However, the company requires additional liquidity to fund operations and may need to pursue further equity financing or restructuring.

Internal Controls: The company disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting related to information communication processes, foreign exchange consolidation, and IT general controls. These remain unremediated as of September 30, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Runway: Verify the sufficiency of cash on hand ($36.2M) against the immediate $36.7M Term Loan repayment and $39.0M cash portion of the Convertible Note repurchase scheduled for November 2025.
• Debt Structure: Confirm the terms of the remaining Convertible Notes ($45.6M principal) and the impact of the 14% prepayment premium on the Term Loan.
• Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of the 200% growth in non-Veritone Hire Software Products & Services and the concentration risk of the top two customers (27% of revenue).
• Internal Controls: Review the remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses in financial reporting and IT controls.
• Equity Dilution: Monitor the impact of recent and planned equity issuances on shareholder dilution.
