Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Veritone, Inc. reported preliminary, unaudited results for Q4 and full-year 2025 and outlined a strategic shift toward partner-led AI growth. Q4 2025 revenue is estimated between $18.1 million and $30.0 million, with a GAAP net loss from continuing operations between $37.0 million and $25.1 million and non-GAAP net loss between $13.9 million and $2.0 million.
For 2025, revenue is expected between $93.7 million and $105.6 million versus $92.6 million in 2024, with GAAP net loss from continuing operations between $110.5 million and $98.6 million and non-GAAP net loss between $39.5 million and $27.6 million compared with $40.8 million in 2024. Veritone announced a multi-year strategic agreement with Oracle to support enterprise and generative AI on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and highlighted Veritone Data Refinery bookings and near-term pipeline of over $50.0 million, more than 250% above Q4 2024.
The company strengthened its balance sheet by repaying $36.7 million under its senior secured credit facility and repurchasing about $45.7 million of 1.75% convertible notes, reducing debt by roughly $77.5 million, saving about $13.0 million annually in debt costs, and ending 2025 with $27.4 million in cash and $45.6 million of convertible debt. For full-year 2026, Veritone projects revenue of $130 million to $145 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $22.5 million to $13.5 million.
Positive
- Substantial debt reduction and interest savings: Veritone repaid its senior secured credit facility and repurchased about $45.7 million of convertible notes, lowering aggregate principal by roughly $77.5 million, reducing annualized debt carrying costs by about $13.0 million, and freeing approximately $15.0 million of previously restricted cash.
- Strengthening demand indicators and Oracle partnership: Veritone Data Refinery exited 2025 with total new bookings and near-term pipeline over $50.0 million, more than 250% above Q4 2024, alongside a new multi-year strategic agreement with Oracle focused on enterprise and generative AI.
- Improving loss profile in 2026 outlook: Guidance for full-year 2026 calls for revenue of $130–$145 million and a narrower non-GAAP net loss range of $22.5–$13.5 million, implying expectations of higher scale with reduced adjusted losses.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Veritone pairs major deleveraging and Oracle deal with narrower 2026 loss outlook.
Veritone is repositioning around its Veritone Data Refinery and public sector AI offerings while cleaning up its capital structure. Preliminary 2025 revenue of $93.7–$105.6 million is roughly flat versus $92.6 million in 2024, but non-GAAP losses from continuing operations improve modestly to $39.5–$27.6 million from $40.8 million.
A key move is the November 2025 transaction that repaid the senior secured credit facility and repurchased about $45.7 million of convertible notes, cutting total principal by roughly $77.5 million, lowering annual debt costs by about $13.0 million, and freeing $15.0 million of restricted cash. This materially reduces financial drag ahead of the remaining $45.6 million of notes due in November 2026.
The multi-year strategic agreement with Oracle and a Veritone Data Refinery bookings and near-term pipeline over $50.0 million (up more than 250% from Q4 2024) suggest growing demand for its data tokenization capabilities. The 2026 outlook—revenue of $130–$145 million and non-GAAP net loss of $22.5–$13.5 million—signals an expectation of double-digit top-line growth with substantially reduced, though still meaningful, losses.

IRVINE, Calif. -- March 26, 2026 -- Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI) (“Veritone” or the “Company”), a leader in building enterprise AI and data solutions, today announced preliminary, unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025*.
“We are entering a new phase for Veritone defined by execution, scale, and financial discipline,” said Ryan Steelberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Veritone. “We believe that our improved balance sheet, expanding VDR pipeline, and continued momentum in the public sector positions us to capture significant opportunities across the AI and data economy. We also announced a strategic agreement with Oracle, which will strengthen Veritone’s leadership in managing unstructured data and complex, multi-model AI workflows while reinforcing our commitment to delivering robust, dynamic AI solutions. As we look ahead to 2026, our focus remains on growing our platform, deepening customer adoption, and delivering results through the scaled tokenization of unstructured data.”
About Our Total New Bookings and Sales Pipeline
Our 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). Our sales pipeline represents revenue we expect to receive based on the total fees payable during the full contract term for contracts that we believe have a high probability of closing in the next three to twelve months. We include in our sales pipeline fees payable during any cancellable portion and an estimate of license fees that may fluctuate over the term and we do not include any variable fees under the contract (e.g., fees for cognitive processing, storage, professional services and other variable services) and any fees payable after contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of our customer. Many of our contracts require us to provide services over more than one year and may include professional fees required to enable our technology in certain environments we do not host or have direct control over. In some cases, our customers may have the ability to terminate our agreements on short notice and our pipeline does not consider the potential impact of any early termination. No assurance can be given that we will ultimately realize our full sales pipeline.

Actual results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 may differ materially from the preliminary financial information presented herein.
The Company has provided a range of expected revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 because it is currently finalizing its accounting determination of certain revenue transactions under ASC 606. The revenue transactions under review are (1) a non-monetary transaction in which Veritone sold an on-premise software license in exchange for certain intangible rights with a negotiated price of $13.0 million in Q4 2025, which has an estimated value based upon the stand alone selling price of the software of between $0.4 million and $11.3 million and (2) the estimated fair value associated with an on-premise software sale in fiscal year 2025 of between $1.8 million to $2.8 million.

The overall debt reduction from this transaction totaled approximately $77.5 million in aggregate principal amount, reduced our annualized debt carrying costs to save approximately $13.0 million per year, freed up approximately $15.0 million of previously restricted cash, and terminated senior secured debt covenants and released liens in full. In conjunction with the early retirement of our senior secured credit facility, we recognized a one-time cash expense of approximately $13.0 million in accelerated debt discount charges.

About the Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Key Performance Indicators
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), Non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, and Non-GAAP net income from discontinued operations. The Company also provides Total New Bookings, a key performance indicator (KPI).
Non-GAAP net income (loss) is the Company’s net income (loss), adjusted to exclude net income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout receivable, contingent purchase compensation expense, foreign currency impact and other, acquisition and due diligence costs, (gain) loss on asset disposition, variable consultant performance bonus expense, severance and executive transition costs, loss on debt extinguishment, lender consent fees, and non-GAAP net income from discontinued operations. Non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations is net loss from continuing operations adjusted to exclude net income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of earnout receivable, contingent purchase compensation expense, foreign currency impact and other, acquisition and due diligence costs, (gain) loss on asset disposition, variable consultant performance bonus expense, severance and executive transition costs, loss on debt extinguishment and lender consent fees. Non-GAAP net income from discontinued operations is net income from discontinued operations adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, gain on sale, and severance and executive transition costs.
Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure, including a breakdown of the excluded items noted above are included following the financial statements attached to this news release. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), net income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) from discontinued operations, or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures and KPI 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, budgeting and measuring annual bonus compensation targets for executive personnel, including the Company’s named executive officers. Non-GAAP net income (loss) provides management and investors consistency and comparability with the Company’s past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as it eliminates the effect of items that are often unrelated to overall operating performance. Other companies (including the Company’s competitors) may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently. The 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.

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding our preliminary, unaudited financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, expected total revenue and non-GAAP net loss for full year 2026, the performance and function of Veritone Data Refinery, momentum in the public sector, demand for our AiWARE platform and Veritone Data Refinery solutions, customer acquisition and expected trends in customer demand, customer transaction pipelines and the estimated values thereof, the expected benefits of strategic partnerships. In addition, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “confident” or “continue” or the plural, negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and are based on management’s current assumptions, expectations, beliefs and information. As such, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause such differences include, among other things: our ability to continue as a going concern, including our ability to repay our Convertible Notes prior to their scheduled maturity; our ability to expand our aiWARE SaaS business; declines or limited growth in the market for AI-based software applications and concerns over the use of AI that may hinder the adoption of AI technologies; our requirements for additional capital and liquidity to support our operations, our business growth, and repay or refinance our Convertible Notes prior to their scheduled maturity and the availability of such capital on acceptable terms, if at all; our reliance upon a limited number of key customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the corresponding risk of declines in key customers’ usage of our products and other offerings; our identification of existing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and plans for remediation; fluctuations in our results over time; the impact of seasonality on our business; our ability to manage our growth, including through acquisitions and expansion into international markets; our ability to enhance our existing products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments; our expectations with respect to the future performance of our products, such as the Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System and Veritone Data Refinery, including as drivers of future growth; actions by our competitors, partners and others that may block us from using third party technologies in our aiWARE platform, offering it for free to the public or making it cost prohibitive to continue to incorporate such technologies into our platform; interruptions or performance problems with our technology and infrastructure, or that of third parties with whom we work; the impact of the continuing economic disruption caused by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including lingering economic disruption caused by international conflicts, financial instability, inflation and the responses by central banking authorities to control inflation, monetary supply shifts, high interest rates, the imposition of tariffs, trade tensions, and global trade disputes, and the threat of recession in the United States and around the world on our business and our existing and potential customers; and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Certain of these judgments and risks are discussed in more detail in our most recently-filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect our beliefs, estimates and predictions as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events for any reason, except as required by law.
