Forward-looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the items set forth beginning in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains and may incorporate by reference certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended (the “PSLRA”), and that are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding the Company’s financial position, results of operations, market position, product development, growth opportunities, economic conditions, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation.  Forward-looking statements are often identified by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “foresee,” or the negative of these terms or other similar variations thereof. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results and experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may include but are not limited to the following:
 
management’s expectations about the macro economy and trends within the consumer or business information industries, including the use of data and consumer expectations related thereto;

statements regarding our competitive position within our industry and our differentiation strategies;

our expectations regarding laws, regulations and industry practices governing the collection and use of
personal data;

our expectations regarding the impact of tax-related legislation on our tax position;

our estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding the Company's annualized future cost savings and expenses associated with our global workforce strategy, recent workforce restructuring, and real estate footprint reduction;

statements regarding our liquidity needs or containing a projection of revenues, operating income (loss), income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, capital expenditures, research and development spending, dividends, capital structure, income taxes, or other financial items;
statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations;
statements of future performance, including, but not limited to, those statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;
statements regarding future stock-based compensation expense;
statements containing any assumptions underlying or relating to any of the above statements; and
statements containing a projection or estimate.
Among the factors that may cause actual results and expectations to differ from anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are the following:
 
the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 21, 2025 and in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC;
the possibility that, in the event a change of control of the Company is sought, certain customers may attempt to invoke provisions in their contracts allowing for termination upon a change in control, which may result in a decline in revenue and profit;
3


the possibility that we will fail to fully realize the potential benefits of acquired businesses or the integration of such acquired businesses may not be as successful as planned;
the possibility that the fair value of certain of our assets may not be equal to the carrying value of those assets now or in future time periods;
the possibility that sales cycles may lengthen;
the possibility that we will not be able to properly motivate our sales force or other employees;
the possibility that we may not be able to attract and retain qualified technical and leadership employees, or that we may lose key employees to other organizations;
the possibility that our global workforce strategy could encounter difficulty and not be as beneficial as planned;
the possibility that we may not be able to sublease our exited office spaces on favorable terms and rates;
the possibility that competent, competitive products, technologies or services will be introduced into the marketplace by other companies;
the possibility that we will fail to keep up with rapidly changing technology practices in our products and services or that expected benefits from utilization of technological innovations may not be realized as soon as expected or at all;
the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets that negatively impact the Company;
the possibility that we will not be able to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms;
the possibility that there will be continued changes in the judicial, legislative, regulatory, accounting, cultural and consumer environments affecting our business, including but not limited to litigation, investigations, legislation, regulations and customs at the state, federal and international levels impairing our and our customers' ability to collect, process, manage, aggregate, store and/or use data of the type necessary for our business, or prohibiting certain customers from continuing to do business in the United States;
the possibility that data suppliers might withdraw data from us, leading to our inability to provide certain products and services, in particular that there might be restrictive legislation in the U.S. and other countries that restricts the availability of data;
the possibility that data purchasers will reduce their reliance on us by developing and using their own, or alternative, sources of data generally or with respect to certain data elements or categories;
the possibility that we may enter into short-term contracts that would affect the predictability of our revenues;
the possibility that the amount of volume-based and other transactional-based work will not be as expected;
the possibility that we may experience a loss of data center capacity or capability or interruption of telecommunication links or power sources;
the possibility that we may experience failures or breaches of our network and data security systems, leading to potential adverse publicity, negative customer reaction, or liability to third parties;
the possibility that our customers may cancel or modify their agreements with us, or may not make timely or complete payments;
the possibility that we will not successfully meet customer contract requirements or the service levels specified in the contracts, which may result in contract penalties or lost revenue;
the possibility that we experience processing errors that result in credits to customers, re-performance of services or payment of damages to customers;
4


the possibility that our performance may decline and we lose advertisers and revenue as the use of "third-party cookies" or other tracking technology continues to be pressured by Internet users, restricted or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, blocked or limited by technical changes on end users' devices, or our customers' ability to use data on our platform is otherwise restricted;
general and global negative conditions, risks related to tariffs and other trade restrictions, risk of recession, high interest rates, the military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, capital markets volatility, government shutdowns, cost increases and general inflationary pressure and other related causes; and
our tax rate and other effects of the changes to U.S. federal tax law.

With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the United States, all of the above factors apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in scale, competition, culture, laws and regulations.
 
Other factors are detailed from time to time in periodic reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  The Company believes that it has the product and technology offerings, facilities, employees and competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future revenues, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.
 
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and assumptions speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. ("LiveRamp", "we", "us" or the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods included have been made, and the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain note information has been omitted because it has not changed significantly from that reflected in Notes 1 through 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed as part of Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on May 21, 2025.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the 2025 Annual Report.  The financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.
 
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are complex and require management to make judgments and/or significant estimates regarding amounts reported or disclosed in these financial statements.  Additionally, the application of certain of these accounting policies is governed by complex accounting principles and their interpretation.  A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting principles and their application is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2025 Annual Report.

Stockholders’ Equity

On August 14, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the existing common stock repurchase program, which was initially adopted in 2011. The amendment authorized an additional $200.0 million in share repurchases, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program to $1.3 billion. In addition, it extended the common stock repurchase program duration through December 31, 2026.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock for $29.9 million under the common stock repurchase program. Through June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 42.6 million shares of its common stock for $1.1 billion under the program, leaving remaining capacity of $226.3 million.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income balances of $6.1 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, reflect accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company has stock option and equity compensation plans for which a total of 51.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance since the inception of the plans. At June 30, 2025, there were a total of 4.8 million shares available for future grants under the plans.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the board of directors voted to amend the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan") to increase the number of shares available under the 2005 Plan by 2.5 million shares. The amendment is subject to shareholder approval at the August 2025 annual shareholders' meeting. The amendment, if approved, would increase the 2005 Plan shares from 48.9 million shares at March 31, 2025 to 51.4 million shares beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance since inception of all plans from 51.5 million shares at March 31, 2025 to 54.0 million shares beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2025.

Employee-related Restructuring Plans
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a total of $0.1 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense reflects adjustments to the fiscal 2025 employee-related restructuring plans in the United States and Europe.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a total of $7.9 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included $7.7 million of severance and other employee-related charges in the United States, Europe, and APAC, and $0.2 million in adjustments to the fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2024 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States and APAC. Of the fiscal 2025 employee-related restructuring plans, $0.3 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2025 and is expected to be paid during fiscal 2026.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a total of $4.2 million in employee-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other employee-related charges in the United States, Europe, and APAC of $4.0 million and adjustments to the fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2023 employee-related restructuring plans for employees in the United States and Europe of $0.2 million. Of the fiscal 2024 employee-related restructuring plans, $0.1 million remained accrued as of June 30, 2025 and is expected to be paid during fiscal 2026.

Lease-related Impairments and Restructuring Plans

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to lower its operating expenses by reducing its global real estate footprint. As part of this plan, we exited a total of eight leased office spaces. Of those, five were located in the United States: one in Boston, one in Philadelphia, one in Phoenix, and two floors of leased office space in San Francisco. The three remaining spaces were located in Europe: one in the Netherlands, one floor of leased office space in London, England, and one floor of leased office space in Paris, France. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, we transitioned our London office from a sublease to a lease directly with the landlord and exited our offices in Singapore and Tokyo.

25


Based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the ROU asset group of each exited lease, the Company determined that each of the ROU asset groups was impaired, driven largely by the difference between the existing lease terms and rates on the Company’s leases and the expected sublease terms and rates available in the market. This resulted in combined impairment charges totaling $26.5 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, reflecting the excess of the ROU asset group book value over its fair value, which was determined based on estimates of future discounted cash flows and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The lease impairment charges included impairments of the operating lease ROU assets of $22.2 million, and the associated furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements of $4.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.5 million in combined lease-related restructuring charges and adjustments during fiscal years 2023 through 2026 that covered other obligations related to the leased office spaces in San Francisco and Phoenix, of which a negative $0.2 million was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $1.1 million remains accrued and will be satisfied over the remainder of the San Francisco lease terms, which continue through April 2029.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, the Company made the strategic decision to exit and sub-lease a certain leased office facility under a staggered-exit plan. The full exit was completed in fiscal 2019. We intend to continue subleasing the facility to the extent possible. The liability will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased property's term, which continues through November 2025. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income may require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded. Through June 30, 2025, the Company has recorded a total of $7.9 million of restructuring charges and adjustments related to this lease, of which $0.5 million was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Of the amount accrued for this facility lease, $0.8 million remained accrued at June 30, 2025 and will be satisfied during the current fiscal year.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Legal Matters
 
On January 24, 2025, a purported class action styled Riganian et al v. LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. and LiveRamp, Inc. (Case No. 4:25-cv-824-JST) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and LiveRamp, Inc., alleging claims based on the California Constitution, the common law protections against intrusion upon seclusion, the California Invasion of Privacy Act, the Federal Wiretap Act and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks certification of classes of California and national consumers, unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and other relief (including injunctive and declaratory relief). The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously, and, because it is still in its preliminary stages, we have not yet determined what effect this lawsuit will have, if any, on our financial position or results of operations.

26


The Company is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses, to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. These accruals are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. In management’s opinion, the Company has made appropriate and adequate accruals for these matters, and management believes the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued to be remote. However, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if accruals are not adequate, an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains insurance coverage above certain limits.

Commitments

The following table presents the Company’s purchase commitments at June 30, 2025.  Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services, software-as-a-service arrangements and leasehold improvements. The table does not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $31.1 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made. The amount for fiscal 2026 represents the remaining nine months ending March 31, 2026. All other periods represent fiscal years ending March 31 (dollars in thousands):
For the years ending March 31,

Purchase commitments$18,127 $9,624 $3,988 $31,739 
 
While the Company does not have any other material contractual commitments for capital expenditures, certain levels of investments in facilities and computer equipment continue to be necessary to support the growth of the business. 


15. INCOME TAX:

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company applies its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to its year-to-date ordinary income or loss and adjusts for discrete tax items in the period. The income tax expense was primarily driven by nondeductible stock-based compensation, capitalization of research and development expenditures in accordance with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and the valuation allowance. Realization of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its generation of sufficient taxable income of the proper character in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As of June 30, 2025, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets except in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Given the Company's recent earnings, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months sufficient positive evidence may become available to support a conclusion that a substantial portion of the valuation allowance is no longer needed. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to significant judgment and continued analysis of the positive and negative evidence. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, also known as “The One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (the "2025 Tax Act") was signed into law in the U.S. The 2025 Tax Act includes provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. As the 2025 Tax Act was enacted after the end of our reporting period, it had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations for the quarter

ended June 30, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the legislation on the Company's future effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash taxes.

16. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:

The Company has one primary business activity, its data collaboration platform. The Company generates revenue from subscription fees from clients accessing our platform and from transactional usage-based fees from arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers, and professional services fees. The platform is used by customers globally in a similar manner across geographies, channels and verticals.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. Our CODM uses net income (loss), among other measures, for budgeting and resource allocation purposes on a consolidated basis. There are no differences in segmentation, the nature of significant expenses, the measure of segment assets or the basis of measurement of segment profit and loss, which is consolidated net income, as compared to the disclosures in the 2025 Annual Report.

LiveRamp’s CODM regularly reviews significant segment expenses by the nature of the cost: cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and gains, losses and other items, net. This is consistent with the Company’s presentation on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other significant segment expenses within income (loss) from operations include depreciation and amortization expenses and stock compensation expenses that are presented in more detail in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and in Note 5, "Stock-Based Compensation", as well as employee related expenses, excluding stock compensation expenses, of $88.0 million and $90.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other significant segment expenses within net earnings (loss) from continuing operations include other income (expense) (primarily interest income and expense), and income tax expense (benefit) that is presented in more detail in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Since the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including significant segment expenses, profit or loss and asset information, can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements except for interest expense and interest income. Interest expense and interest income are included in total other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, which is detailed below (dollars in thousands).

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
 
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company held $3.1 million and $3.2 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively (see Note 6). Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $0.1 million impairment that is recorded in other expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating Segment

The Company provides a data collaboration platform, essentially acting as a data collaboration hub where businesses can securely share and manage first-party consumer data with trusted partners while prioritizing data privacy and ethics. The Company has one primary business activity, its data collaboration platform, as described in the business description section of Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company generates revenue from subscription fees from clients accessing our platform and from transactional usage-based fees from arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers, and professional services fees. The platform is used by customers globally in a similar manner across geographies, channels and verticals.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. Under ASC 280 Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our CODM. Our CODM uses net income (loss), among other measures, for budgeting and resource allocation purposes on a consolidated basis. Consolidated net income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations is the measure of financial profit and loss most closely aligned with GAAP that is used by the CODM to assess performance against the Company’s annual financial plans as well as to allocate resources, such as decisions regarding headcount goals, significant contracts, internal investments and other items. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.

Sources of Revenues

LiveRamp recognizes revenue from the following sources: (i) Subscription revenue, which consists primarily of subscription fees from customers accessing our platform; and (ii) Marketplace and Other revenue, which primarily consists of revenue-sharing fees generated from data transactions through our LiveRamp Data Marketplace, transactional usage-based revenue from arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers, and professional services fees.

/LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform

As depicted in the graphic below, we power the industry’s leading enterprise platform for data collaboration. We enable organizations to access and leverage data more effectively across the applications they use to interact with their customers. At the core of our platform is an omnichannel, deterministic identity resolution technology that offers unparalleled accuracy, breadth, and depth. Leveraging deep expertise in data collaboration, the /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform enables an organization to unify customer and prospect data (first-, second-, or third-party) to build a single view of the customer in a way that protects consumer privacy. First-party data is data collected firsthand through a company's controlled channels. Second-party data is data that a company shares directly with a trusted business partner. Third-party data is data collected and sold by a company through an online data marketplace to companies with which it does not have a direct relationship. This single customer view can then be connected across any of the 500 partners in our ecosystem in order to support a variety of people-based marketing solutions.

The /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform provides customers with four core capabilities:

Live/Identity. We provide enterprise identity infrastructure that resolves disparate consumer identities across different internal and external systems to create an accurate, connected view of the customer. Our approach to identity is built from two complementary graphs, combining offline data and online data and providing accuracy with a focus on privacy. LiveRamp's technology for directly identifiable information (or "DII") gives brands and platforms the ability to connect and update what they know about consumers, resolving DII across enterprise databases and systems to deliver better customer experiences. Our digital identity graph, powered by our Authenticated Traffic Solution (or "ATS"), associates pseudonymous device IDs, TV IDs and other online customer IDs from premium publishers, platforms or data providers, around a RampIDTM, a durable and privacy-centric connector to the digital ecosystem. This provides marketers with a consistent view of the consumer that is necessary for audience segmentation, targeting, and measurement.

Live/Access. Our Data Marketplace provides customers with simplified access to industry-leading third-party data providers globally. The /LiveRamp Data Collaboration Platform allows for the search, discovery and distribution of data provided by third-party data providers to improve targeting, measurement, and customer intelligence. Data accessed through the LiveRamp Data Marketplace is connected via RampID and is utilized to enrich our customers’ first-party data and then can be leveraged across technology and media platforms, agencies, analytics environments, and TV partners. Our platform also provides tools for data providers to manage the organization, distribution, and operation of their data and services across our network of customers and partners. Today we work with more than 225 data providers across all verticals and data types.

Live/Connectivity. We enable organizations to leverage their customer and prospect data in the digital and TV ecosystems and across the customer experience applications they use through a safe and secure data matching process called data onboarding. Our technology ingests a customer’s first-party data, removes all DII, and replaces it with a pseudonymized RampID. RampID can then be distributed through direct integrations to the top platforms our customers work with, including leading marketing cloud providers, publishers and social networks, personalization tools, and connected TV services. We connect data across an ecosystem of more than 500 partners, representing one of the largest networks of connections in the digital marketplace.

Live/Insights. Data Collaboration using clean room technology enables advanced measurement and analytics that helps produce insight-driven innovation. We enable data collaboration between organizations and their trusted partners in a neutral, manageable environment. Our platform provides customers with collaborative opportunities to safely and securely build a more accurate, dynamic view of their customers by leveraging partner data. We power more accurate, more complete measurement with the measurement vendors and partners our customers use. Our platform allows customers to combine disparate data files, typically advertising exposure and customer sales transactions, securely by replacing customer identifiers with RampID. Customers then can use that aggregated view of each customer to measure reach and frequency, sales lift, closed loop offline-to-online conversion and cross-channel attribution.

Subscription

We primarily charge for our platform services on an annual basis. Our subscription pricing is based primarily on data volume, which is a function of data input records and connection points.

Our solutions are sold to enterprise marketers and the companies they partner with to execute their marketing, including agencies, marketing technology providers, publishers and data providers. Today, we work with 835 direct customers worldwide and serve thousands of additional customers indirectly through our reseller partnership arrangements.

Brands and Agencies. We work with over 500 of the largest brands and agencies in the world, helping them execute people-based marketing by creating an omni-channel understanding of the consumer, activating that understanding across their choice of digital marketing platforms and measuring the results to help optimize future marketing campaigns.

Advertising and Marketing Technology Providers. We provide advertising and marketing technology providers with the identity foundation required to offer people-based targeting, measurement and personalization within their platforms. This adds value for brands by increasing reach, as well as the speed at which they can activate their marketing data.

Publishers. We enable publishers of any size to offer people-based marketing on their properties. This adds value for brands by providing direct access to their customers and prospects in the publisher's premium inventory.

Data Sellers. Leveraging our vast network of integrations, we allow data sellers to easily connect to the digital ecosystem and monetize their own data. Data can be distributed to customers or made available through the LiveRamp Data Marketplace. This adds value for brands as it allows them to augment their understanding of consumers and increase their understanding of customers and prospects.

33


Marketplace and Other

As we have scaled the LiveRamp network and technology, we have found additional ways to leverage our platform, deliver more value to customers and create incremental revenue streams. Leveraging our common identity system and broad integration network, the LiveRamp Data Marketplace seamlessly connects data sellers’ audience data across the marketing ecosystem. The LiveRamp Data Marketplace enables data sellers to easily monetize their data across hundreds of marketing platforms and publishers. At the same time, it provides a single platform where data buyers, including platforms and publishers, in addition to brands and their agencies, access third-party data from data sellers supporting all industries and encompassing all types of data. Data providers include sources and brands exclusive to LiveRamp, emerging platforms with access to previously unavailable deterministic data, and data partnerships enabled by our platform.

We generate revenue from the Data Marketplace primarily through revenue-sharing arrangements with data sellers that are monetizing their data assets via our marketplace platform service. We also generate Marketplace and Other revenue through transactional usage-based arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers. Data Marketplace revenue is recognized net of the share of revenue earned by the data seller.

To complement our product offering, we provide professional services and enhanced support entitlements to help customers leverage our platform and drive business outcomes. Our services offering includes product implementation, data science analytics, audience measurement and general advisory. We generate revenue from services primarily from project fees paid by subscribers to our platform. Service projects are sold on an ad hoc basis as well as bundled with platform subscriptions. Professional services revenue is less than 5% of total Company revenue.

Key Performance Metrics

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we monitor the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate revenue growth trends, establish budgets and measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. The below data is presented in millions, except for percentages.
% Change
June 30, 2025June 30, 2024June 30, 2025 from June 30, 2024June 30, 2024 from June 30, 2023
Subscription net retention104 %105 %(1)%%
Annualized recurring revenue$502 $478 %12 %
Remaining performance obligation$690 $536 29 %%
Current remaining performance obligation$451 $398 14 %13 %

Subscription Net Retention

Subscription net retention (“SNR”) is defined as the current quarter subscription revenue (net) from customers who have been on our platform for one year or more, divided by the prior year quarter subscription revenue (net), inclusive of upsell, churn (lost contract), downsell (contract reduction), and variable revenue changes. SNR excludes revenue from new customers that have not been on our platform for one year or more. We believe our SNR is an important metric that provides insight into the long-term value of our subscription agreements and our ability to retain and grow revenue from our subscription customer base. SNR rate is an operational metric, and there is no comparable GAAP financial measure to which we can reconcile this particular key metric.

SNR was 104% primarily reflecting variable revenue increases. SNR at June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 decreased 1%. The acquisition of Habu contributed approximately three percentage points to the prior period growth.

Annualized Recurring Revenue

Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the last month of quarter fixed subscription revenue annualized and does not include any variable or non-recurring revenue amounts. We believe ARR provides important information about our future revenue potential, our ability to acquire new customers, and our ability to maintain and expand our relationship with existing customers. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. Our use of ARR has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation. Other companies in our industry may calculate ARR differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Our ARR growth of 5% was primarily attributable to new customer revenue. The deceleration in ARR growth was primarily attributable to lower contribution from net growth (upsell revenue less downsell and churn) in existing customer revenue. In addition, the acquisition of Habu contributed approximately two percentage points to the prior period growth.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Current Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) is defined as all future revenue under contract that has not yet been recognized as revenue. Future invoicing is determined to be certain when we have an executed non-cancellable contract or a significant penalty that is due upon cancellation, and invoicing is not dependent on a future event such as the delivery of a specific new product or feature, or the achievement of contractual contingencies. Current RPO ("CRPO") represents RPO to be recognized over the next twelve months.

36


While the Company believes RPO and CRPO are leading indicators of revenue as they represent sales activity not yet recognized in revenue, they are not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth as they are influenced by several factors, including seasonality of contract renewal timing and average contract terms. The Company monitors RPO and CRPO to manage the business and evaluate performance. RPO and CRPO increased due to several large, multi-year renewals. The relative change in RPO growth (in terms of % change) is primarily due to the size and timing of multi-year renewals.

Total revenues were $194.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an $18.9 million, or 10.7%, increase compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was due to revenue growth in both Subscription and Marketplace and Other. The Subscription revenue growth was $13.6 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to upsell to existing customers and higher variable revenue. The Marketplace and Other revenue growth was $5.3 million, or 12.8%, primarily due to Data Marketplace and Services growth. On a geographic basis, U.S. revenue increased $18.0 million, or 10.8%. International revenue increased $0.9 million, or 9.4%.

Cost of revenue was $58.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a $6.6 million, or 12.7%, increase from the same period a year ago. Gross profit increased to $136.5 million (70.1% gross margin) from $124.2 million (70.6% gross margin) in the prior period due to the revenue increase of $18.9 million and a decrease in purchased intangible asset amortization of $1.1 million (declining amortization from Habu acquisition in fiscal 2024), offset partially by an increase in cloud infrastructure costs (increased $6.8 million) driven by increased customer usage and platform migration costs, and an increase in services costs (increased $0.7 million) due to headcount and related increases. U.S. gross margins decreased to 70.6% from 71.5%, and International gross margins increased to 60.5% from 55.5%.

Total operating expenses$129,282 $129,460 — 
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expense includes operating expenses for the Company’s engineering and product/project management functions supporting research, new development, and related product enhancement.

R&D expenses were $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 10.2%, compared to the same period a year ago, and are 20.3% of total revenues compared to 25.1% in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense (decreased $1.9 million) and headcount-related expenses (decreased $2.5 million).

Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expense includes operating expenses for the Company’s sales, marketing, and product marketing functions. S&M expense also includes provisions for credit losses.

S&M expenses were $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 4.2%, compared to the same period a year ago, and are 26.6% of total revenues compared to 30.8% in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to stock-based compensation expense (decreased $1.1 million), headcount-related expenses (decreased $0.9 million), third-party marketing expenses (decreased $0.5 million), and professional services expenses (decreased $0.3 million), offset partially by an increase in bad debt expense (increased $0.8 million).

General and administrative ("G&A") expense represents operating expenses for the Company's finance, human resources, legal, corporate IT, and other corporate administrative functions.

G&A expenses were $37.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $6.4 million, or 20.6%, compared to the same period a year ago, and are 19.2% of total revenues compared to 17.6% in the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to professional services expenses (increased $5.4 million) largely related to litigation costs associated with the class action lawsuit and fees in support of strategic corporate initiatives, headcount-related expenses (increased $0.6 million), and stock-based compensation expense (increased $0.4 million).

39


Gains, losses, and other items, net represents restructuring costs and other adjustments.

Gains, losses and other items, net was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the same period a year ago. The current year relates primarily to adjustments to previous lease restructuring reserves while the prior year costs are primarily related to termination benefits for employees whose positions were eliminated.

Income from Operations and Operating Margin

Income from operations was $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to loss from operations of $5.2 million in the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 3.7% compared to negative 3.0% in the prior year period. Margins were positively impacted by the gross profit increase.

Total Other Income and Income Taxes

Total other income, net was $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower invested cash balances and lower interest rates in the current year.

Income tax expense was $3.2 million on income from continuing operations before income taxes of $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in a 29.1% effective tax rate. This compares to a prior year income tax expense of $6.7 million on loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $0.8 million, or a negative 831.5% effective tax rate. Tax expense for all periods reflects the impact of the valuation allowance and nondeductible stock-based compensation. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 174, as modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, research and development expenditures are required to be capitalized and amortized over five years (15 years for foreign-based costs). Due to the valuation allowance, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax benefit for future amortization deductions.

Given the Company's recent earnings, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months sufficient positive evidence may become available to support a conclusion that a substantial portion of the valuation allowance is no longer needed. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to significant judgment and continued analysis of the positive and negative evidence. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, also known as “The One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (the "2025 Tax Act") was signed into law in the U.S. The 2025 Tax Act includes provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. As the 2025 Tax Act was enacted after the end of our reporting period, it had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the legislation on the Company’s future effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash taxes.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily located in the United States.  At June 30, 2025, approximately $25.0 million of the total cash balance of $363.6 million, or approximately 6.9%, was located outside of the United States.

Trade accounts receivable, net balances were $219.8 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of $33.6 million, compared to $186.2 million at March 31, 2025. Days sales outstanding ("DSO"), a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables, was 103 days at June 30, 2025, compared to 89 days at March 31, 2025. DSO can fluctuate due to the timing and nature of contracts that lead to up-front billings related to deferred revenue on services not yet performed, and Data Marketplace contracts, which are billed on a gross basis, recognized on a net basis, but for which the amount that is due to data sellers is not reflected as an offset to accounts receivable. Compared to March 31, 2025, DSO at June 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by approximately nine days due to the increased impact of Data Marketplace gross accounts receivable. All customer accounts are actively managed, and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected.

Working capital at June 30, 2025 totaled $410.0 million, a $1.4 million increase when compared to $408.7 million at March 31, 2025.

Management believes that the Company's existing available cash will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the short-term (the next 12 months) and separately in the long-term (beyond the next 12 months). However, in light of the recent tariffs and other trade restrictions, risk of recession, the military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, cost increases, high interest rates, capital markets volatility and general inflationary pressures, our liquidity position may change due to the inability to collect from our customers, inability to raise new capital via issuance of equity or debt, and disruption in completing repayments or disbursements to our creditors. These impacts have caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which could increase the cost of capital and adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. We have historically taken and may continue to take advantage of opportunities to generate additional liquidity through capital market transactions. The amount, nature, and timing of any capital market transactions will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature, and timing of our capital requirements; and overall market conditions. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be forced to curtail our operations.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods reported (dollars in thousands):
For the three months ended
June 30,
20252024
Net cash used in operating activities$(15,821)$(9,328)
Net cash used in investing activities$(917)$(593)
Net cash used in financing activities$(34,797)$(16,465)

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers, and related payments to our suppliers and employees. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to suppliers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

41


Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $15.8 million and resulted primarily from operating results adjusted for non-cash items of $38.2 million offset by unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $54.0 million. Net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $35.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $34.3 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $5.7 million and income taxes payable of $4.5 million. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of annual incentive compensation awards for fiscal year 2025 and the timing of payments to suppliers. The change in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of cash receipts from customers.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.3 million and resulted primarily from operating results adjusted for non-cash items of $25.6 million offset by unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $34.9 million. Net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $39.0 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $16.6 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $7.5 million. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of annual incentive compensation awards for fiscal year 2024 and the timing of payments to suppliers. The change in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of cash receipts from customers.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have primarily consisted of business acquisitions, capital expenditures, purchases and sales of investments and strategic investments. Capital expenditures may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, the addition of new headcount, new facilities, and acquisitions. Investing activities also include purchases and sales of short-term investments using available cash reserves.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.9 million and consisted of net cash paid in acquisitions of $0.6 million related to the Habu escrow and capital expenditures of $0.3 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.6 million and consisted of capital expenditures of $0.2 million and the purchase of a strategic investment of $0.4 million.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities have consisted of acquisition of treasury stock, proceeds from our equity compensation plans, and shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $34.8 million and consisted of the acquisition of treasury shares pursuant to the board of directors' approved stock repurchase plan, and related excise tax payments, of $29.9 million (1.1 million shares), and $10.8 million for shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by $5.9 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock from our equity compensation plans.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $16.5 million and consisted of the acquisition of treasury shares pursuant to the board of directors' approved stock repurchase plan of $15.8 million (0.5 million shares), and $6.8 million for shares repurchased for tax withholdings upon vesting of stock-based awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by $6.2 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock from our equity compensation plans.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On August 14, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the existing common stock repurchase program, which was initially adopted in 2011. The amendment authorized an additional $200.0 million in share repurchases, increasing the total amount authorized for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program to $1.3 billion. In addition, it extended the common stock repurchase program duration through December 31, 2026.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock for $29.9 million under the modified common stock repurchase program. The repurchase amounts included in the fiscal 2026 condensed consolidated statements of stockholders equity and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included amounts related to the 1% excise tax on share repurchases, net of share issuances, as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Through June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 42.6 million shares of its common stock for $1.1 billion under the program, leaving remaining capacity of $226.3 million.

Contractual Commitments

The following tables present the Company’s contractual cash obligations and purchase commitments at June 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands). Operating leases primarily consist of our various office facilities. Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services, software-as-a-service arrangements, and leasehold improvements. The tables do not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $31.1 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made. The amount for 2026 represents the remaining nine months ending March 31, 2026. All other periods represent fiscal years ending March 31.
For the years ending March 31,

Operating leases$7,322 $9,336 $9,472 $9,044 $2,591 $1,708 $39,473 

Future minimum payments as of June 30, 2025 related to restructuring plans as a result of the Company's exit from certain leased office facilities are (dollars in thousands): Fiscal 2026: $1,124.

202620272028Total
Purchase commitments$18,127 $9,624 $3,988 $31,739 
 
While the Company does not have any other material contractual commitments for capital expenditures, certain levels of investments in facilities and computer equipment continue to be necessary to support the growth of the business. 

For a description of certain risks that could have an impact on results of operations or financial condition, including liquidity and capital resources, see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 21, 2025 ("2025 Annual Report").


Non-U.S. Operations
 
The Company has a presence in the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Brazil, India, Australia and China. Most of the Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuation is due to translation gains and losses as there are no material transactions that cause exchange rate impact. In general, each of the foreign locations is expected to fund its own operations and cash flows, although funds may be loaned or invested from the U.S. to the foreign subsidiaries. These advances are considered long-term investments, and any gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates as well as gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Therefore, exchange rate movements of foreign currencies may have an impact on the Company’s future costs or on future cash flows from foreign investments. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP as set forth in the FASB ASC, and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the SEC. These accounting principles require management to make certain judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report include a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations filed as part of the 2025 Annual Report contains a discussion of the policies that management has identified as the most critical because they require management’s use of complex and/or significant judgments. None of the Company’s critical accounting policies have materially changed since the date of the 2025 Annual Report other than as described in the "Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year" section of Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
