附帶的未經審計的簡明合併基本報表和簡明附註是按照Form 10-Q的說明和S-X規章第10條的要求編制的。因此，它們不包括根據美國公認會計原則（「GAAP」）對完整財務報表所要求的所有信息和附註。根據管理層的意見，已包含所有調整，僅包括正常重複項目，認爲對公允表述是必要的。截止2024年9月30日的三個月和九個月的操作結果不一定能反映預期的2024年12月31日截止的年度結果，或其他中期階段或未來年度的結果。

附帶的未經審計的簡明合併基本報表包括公司及其全資子公司的帳戶。所有內部帳戶和交易都已在合併中消除。截止2023年12月31日的簡明合併資產負債表源自該日期的經過審計的財務報表，但不包括根據GAAP對完整財務報表所要求的所有信息和附註。

這些簡明合併基本報表應與公司2023年12月31日結束的財政年度的Form 10-K年報中包含的合併財務報表及相關附註一起閱讀。於2024年2月23日向證券交易委員會（「SEC」）提交。

反向股票拆分及授權股份減少

2024年4月12日，公司進行了反向股票拆分，將其流通的普通股與公司授權的普通股減少。反向股票拆分後，公司每六股普通股合併爲一股普通股，面值不變。普通股票於2024年4月15日在納斯達克資本市場按調整後的拆分基準開始交易。反向股票拆分未發行任何碎股，因爲公司以現金支付了這些碎股的公允價值。由於公司授權股份的減少，公司授權股份從 142,857 股份至 47,619 股份。

公司的所有股份及每股金額，以及股票期權和限制性股票單位（「RSUs」），已在附帶的簡化合並基本報表中追溯調整，以考慮反向股票拆分對所有呈現期間的影響，除非另有說明。此外，由於反向股票拆分，公司在其簡化合並資產負債表上將等同於普通股面值減少的金額重新分類爲額外實收資本。

流動性和持續經營

自2006年成立以來，公司每個財政年度都遭受了重大損失。公司淨虧損爲$6,755 截至2024年9月30日的九個月 2013年12月31日的年度淨虧損爲4.92億美元。21,917 12月31日 2023年12月31日。截至2024年9月30日，公司擁有現金及現金等價物$5,588 及累計虧損 $351,006歷史上，公司主要依靠出售其資本股票來資助運營活動。管理層預計將會產生額外的損失，並預計在可預見的未來會經歷負的運營現金流。

在2024年10月，公司開始實施組織重組和裁員計劃，以降低公司的運營成本（「2024年重組計劃」），預計將減少公司全球員工大約 27 名員工，約佔 26截至2024年9月30日，公司總員工人數的百分比。公司估計將在大約$之間產生現金支出600 和 $800 在截至2024年12月31日的三個月內，涉及2024年重組計劃的現金支出，基本上所有費用均與裁員成本有關，公司預計將在同一期間基本完成2024年重組計劃。在截至2024年9月30日的九個月內，與2024年重組計劃相關的費用爲零。

2023年7月，公司開始了一項包括全球裁員和其他節省成本措施的重組計劃，以降低支出（「2023年重組計劃」). 2023年重組計劃導致公司全球員工人數在2023年下半年減少了64名全職員工，總員工人數減少約37%。2023年重組計劃在2023年基本完成。.

公司實現其業務目標並繼續滿足其義務的能力取決於保持一定的流動性水平，受到多種因素的影響，如公司管理現金流、2024年重組計劃的有效性、保持戰略合作伙伴關係的能力、增加新訂單、顧客接受程度、保留和使用MarinOne平台的程度，以及通貨膨脹或任何經濟衰退的程度和持續時間等宏觀經濟條件。儘管公司已經尋求並可能繼續尋求額外的流動性來源，包括額外的股權和債務融資，但並不能確保會有任何額外融資可用且具有可接受的條件，或根本不會出現。未能有效管理現金流、增加新訂單、提高客戶保留率或籌集額外資本將對公司實現預期業務目標的能力產生重大不利影響。

根據公司截至本季度報告提交日期可獲得的資金以及其不斷髮生的虧損和負現金流的歷史，對公司是否能夠作爲持續經營實體存在提出了重大疑慮。公司作爲持續經營實體存在的能力很大程度上取決於公司能否實現其預期業務目標。如果公司無法實現其預期業務目標，公司可能需要進一步減少人員編制和其他節約成本活動，延長與供應商的付款期限，在可能的情況下清算資產，或終止運營。這些行動可能會對公司的業務、運營結果和未來前景產生重大影響。因此，在附表的簡明綜合財務報表提交日期後的一年內，公司是否能夠作爲持續經營實體存在存在重大疑慮。

由於公司尚未能獲得足夠的資金來維持業務運營或實現淨現金流，公司管理層和董事會認爲，尋求戰略選擇符合公司股東的最佳利益。作爲這一過程的一部分，公司正在探索各種選項，重點是最大化股東價值，包括潛在的公司出售、反向併購或公司資產出售或其他戰略交易。公司一直在與一家投資銀行合作，以擔任其與此審查和類似事項有關的財務顧問。無法保證該過程會導致公司進行任何特定交易或其他戰略結果，也無法保證任何潛在交易的條款或時間安排。

公司正在探討潛在的「反向併購」和其他企業交易。任何完成的交易都將對Marin的股東產生重大影響。鑑於此類討論處於初步階段，在此階段無法量化任何交易的潛在影響。要使可能的交易進展，所有涉及方需進行大量盡職調查，達成交易條款協議，進行談判並獲得交易文件的批准，並滿足適用的收盤條件，包括在某些情況下準備並公開提交涉及任何建議的反向併購方的必需披露文件和股東批准。這樣的過程將耗時且昂貴。無法保證任何交易最終會成功。

如果公司無法很快完成一個令人滿意的交易，將有必要尋求額外融資或在不久的將來尋求解散和清算，公司的普通股持有人可能會因持有的普通股獲得很少或根本沒有回報。即使公司執行了令人滿意的戰略交易，公司的股東可能無法獲得任何在我們普通股投資中的回報。與此同時，公司還在爲可能根據特拉華州普通公司法進行法定解散和清算做準備，以及爲公司如不能在不久的將來籌集到額外資本或完成戰略交易而進行清算的情況，在此公司已經委託顧問幫助其準備潛在的清算和清算。

附表的簡明綜合財務報表是基於公司將繼續作爲持續經營實體進行編制的，並且不包括任何調整以反映可能影響資產回收能力和分類，或因公司與持續經營實體相關的不確定性而導致的負債的金額和分類的未來影響。這些調整可能會對公司的附表的簡明綜合財務報表產生重大影響。

公司目前並不知曉任何需要更新其估計、判斷或修訂其資產或負債賬面價值的特定事件或情況。這些估計可能會隨着新事件的發生和獲取到更多信息而發生變化，並且一旦變得已知，就會被納入綜合財務報表中。實際結果可能會與這些估計不符，任何這種差異可能對公司的財務報表具有重大影響。

研究費用重組活動

2023年重組計劃

2023年9月30日結束的三個月內，公司啓動了2023年重組計劃，包括全球性的裁員和其他節約成本措施，以降低其運營成本，導致公司全球員工減少 56 名全職員工和 14 名全職等效承包商，將其總全職等效員工和承包商人員組合的數量減少到約 36%，在某些情況下降至35%以內，並要求公司對來自非美國子公司的某些未歸還收益繳納一次過渡稅，該稅可分期支付，使美國公司未來獲得的非美國來源收入免稅，併爲與母公司支付相關款項相關聯的非美國子公司的收益創造一項新的最低稅。該公司暫估根據該條款不需要繳納稅款。195 截至2023年6月30日 125 截至2023年9月30日。關於2023年重組計劃的其餘員工減少在2023年第四季度完成。截至2023年9月30日止三個月內，公司在附表中的綜合損益簡表中記錄了$1,797 的與2023年重組計劃相關的重組費用，其中$815 計入研發費用，$671 計入營業成本，$189爲 461.4 百萬包含在

一般和行政及$122 截至2023年12月31日，與2023年重組計劃相關的金額尚未計提。

金融工具的公允價值

公司的財務工具，包括應收賬款、應付賬款和應計費用，按成本計價，因為這些工具的短期性質，故近似於公平價值。現金等價物由按公平價值記錄的貨幣市場基金組成，並在公平價值層級中被歸類為第1級。

信用損失準備和營業收入抵免

公司定期審查其客戶的支付歷史和相關信用風險，通常不要求其客戶提供擔保。某些與廣告代理的合同包含連帶責任條款，根據該條款，代理在未收到其客戶的付款之前，沒有義務向公司付款。在這些情況下，公司評估代理客戶的信用質量，以及代理本身。公司維持一個信用損失準備，反映其對潛在無法收回的交易應收賬款的最佳估計，並基於特定和一般準備金。一般準備金是根據歷史經驗、應收賬款餘額的年齡、當前經濟條件和合理及可支持的未來經濟條件預測等因素，通過集體基礎維持的。

公司信用損失準備金的活動如下：截至2024年9月30日的九個月活動摘要如下（以千計）：


	總計
截至2023年12月31日的餘額	$	501
本期預期損失的撥備		(7	)
列入抵免的注銷		(74	)
2024年9月30日的賬面	$	420

公司不時會向客戶提供信貸，通常與客戶糾紛或賬單調整有關，並記錄為營業收入的減少。這些收入信貸的準備金根據權威性營業收入確認指導（見附註2）視為變量對價，並根據歷史信貸活動進行估計。截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日，公司記錄了潛在客戶信貸的準備金，金額為 $17 及12，分別。

收入確認

該公司主要通過與廣告商或廣告代理的訂閱來產生營業收入，以管理搜索、社交媒體和電子商務的平台。該公司還通過與某些領先出版商的戰略協議來產生營業收入。在訂閱協議下，該公司根據客戶在其平台上管理的廣告支出獲取報酬。當這些服務的控制權轉移到該公司的客戶時，該公司確認收入，金額反映該公司預期為這些服務有權獲得的報酬。詳情見第2註釋，進一步討論該公司的營業收入。

內部開發軟件

開發階段產生的成本會資本化，並在產品預期的使用壽命內攤銷，當開發成本被認為是可收回的時候。該公司將所有與規劃和實施後階段相關的成本列為費用。開發階段的成本通常包括與軟件開發、配置和編碼相關的薪水和人事成本以及第三方承包商支出。與內部開發的軟件相關的資本化成本在開發過程中被視為施工進行中，直到程序、功能或特性準備好供其預期使用，屆時開始攤銷。

截至2024年9月30日的九個月內，該公司分析了其內部開發的軟件是否仍然符合資產的定義，並得出結論，由於內部開發的軟件對該公司沒有未來的經濟利益，基於其負現金流，內部開發的軟件不再符合資產的定義。此外，因為內部開發的軟件不再符合資產的定義，與內部開發的軟件相關的開發成本將不再資本化，因為這些開發成本被認為是不可收回的。相反，所有與內部開發的軟件相關的開發成本將即時列為費用。

截至2024年9月30日截至2023年12月31日，存在 no 尚未攤銷的內部開發軟體成本，包括施工中的項目。在截至2024年9月30日的九個月內， no 相關金額被資本化或攤銷，因為在此期間的內部開發軟體的開發成本被認為是無法收回的。在截至2023年9月30日的九個月內，公司資本化了$1,511 的內部開發軟體相關開發成本並攤銷了$1,278 與內部開發軟體相關的費用。內部開發軟體的攤銷反映在營業收入成本中。與小幅增強和維護相關的費用在發生時立即列入費用。

2. 營業收入

收入確認

該公司主要通過訂閱來產生營業收入，訂閱可直接與廣告商或與廣告代理合作，使用其平台來管理搜索、社交、電子商務和蘋果-顯示屏廣告。它也通過與某些領先出版商的長期戰略協議產生一部分營業收入。當這些服務的控制權轉移給公司的客戶時，營業收入便被確認，金額反映公司期望就這些服務獲得的報酬。該公司通過以下步驟來確定營業收入的確認：

•

識別與客戶的合同或合同；

•

在合約中確認履行義務的識別；

•

確定交易價格；

•

將交易價格分配給合約中的績效義務；和

•

當公司滿足其履約義務時，確認營業收入。

公司的訂閱合約為廣告主提供了使用公司的廣告管理平台的權限。廣告主在任何時候都無權擁有支援這些服務的軟體。這些合約通常是一年或更短的期限，雖然某些合約可延續至年內。。大多數合約下的訂閱費用由最低每月平台費用或根據透過公司的平台管理的廣告支出成交量計算的變量考量中的較高者組成。變量部分通常包括分層定價，根據廣告支出的價值，收取的支出百分比會降低。分層定價通常每月重設，並在合約期限內保持一致。公司已得出結論，這種基於成交量的定價方式並不構成未來的重大權利，因為定價級別在合約期限內是一致的，且類似的定價通常也提供給同一地區和市場的類似客戶。某些訂閱合約僅由固定的每月平台費用組成。訂閱費用通常在每月實際管理的廣告支出基礎上進行事後開票。在某些有限情況下，公司會提前對廣告主開具合約上約定的最低每月平台費用的發票，該期限通常是三在權利益分享區間內， 12個月.

公司的訂閱服務包含一項單一的準備履行義務，該義務隨著廣告客戶同時接收和消耗公司表現的利益而隨時間滿足。這項履行義務構成了一系列性質基本相同並且隨時間提供的服務，使用相同的進度衡量標準。從這些安排中產生的營業收入是隨時間認列的，使用基於時間經過的產出方法，因為這樣能真實描繪控制權轉移的模式。固定的每月最低平台費用在合同期內按照比例認列，因為單一的履行義務已滿足。變量費用則分配至賺取的系列中明確的月份，因為變量支付的條款專門與轉移明確的時間增量（月份）服務的結果相關，並且這些金額反映了公司期望在該期間內因提供廣告管理平台訪問而有權獲得的費用，這與根據會計準則編纂606（“ASC 606”）的權威營業收入指導的分配目標一致。

預期未來的營業收入是來自於截至目前尚未滿足（或部分滿足）的訂閱服務的履約義務。於2024年9月30日的情況如下：


	訂閱服務營業收入
2024（剩餘三個月）	$	171
2025		401
2024年9月30日的賬面	$	572

本公司根據ASC 606適用自願豁免，並不披露原始期限為的訂閱合同中尚未滿足的履約義務的價值。一年或更低。上述披露的剩餘履行義務的金額主要由合同下的固定或每月最小費用組成，其原預期的持續時間超過一年該金額不包括基於成交量的合同等變量補償的估算，以及合同的預期續約。

戰略協議

公司已與某些領先的搜索出版商簽訂長期戰略協議，這些協議通常按季度結算。

在2021年9月，公司與谷歌簽訂了一項收益分享協議，該協議的預定三年期限從2021年10月1日開始，並持續到2024年9月30日（“谷歌收益分享協議”）。通過這項協議，公司有資格根據通過公司平台管理的搜索廣告支出的百分比，獲得固定和變量的收益分享付款，而公司則需要將這些收益分享付款的一定百分比重新投資於其搜索科技平台，以促進創新。在2024年7月，公司與谷歌簽訂了一項搜索廣告創新協議（“谷歌搜索廣告創新協議”），以便公司繼續開發的搜索廣告平台, 產品和專業知識Google 搜尋廣告創新協議的預定期限為三年，自2024年10月1日起生效，此協議在2024年9月30日Google 營業收入分享協議到期後生效，且與之前的Google 營業收入分享協議基本類似，包括相同的最低季度付款。

公司評估從Google 營業收入分享協議預期獲得的變量營業收入分享付款的總額，使用最可能的方法，因為它認為這種方法代表了根據歷史服務趨勢、個別合同考量和公司的最佳判斷來進行此考量的最合適估計。公司僅在相信不會發生重大逆轉的情況下，將變量考量的估計納入營業收入，也就是說，當與變量考量相關的不確定性隨後得到解決時，公司的累積確認營業收入的金額不會出現重大逆轉。公司認可來自Google 營業收入分享協議的營業收入為$1,788 及5,363 於截至2024年和2023年9月30日的三個月和九個月，分別為。

Contract Balances

Accounts Receivable, Net

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, net of any allowances for credit losses and revenue credits. A receivable is recognized in the period the Company provides the underlying services or when the right to consideration is unconditional. Included in accounts receivable, net, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were receivables of $1,788 related to the Google Revenue Share Agreement, which represented 49% and 46% of the balances, respectively. Additionally, one customer accounted for approximately 14% of accounts receivable, net, as of September 30, 2024. No additional customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net, as of September 30, 2024.

Customer Advances

In certain situations, the Company receives cash payments from customers in advance of its performance of the underlying services. These advances from customers are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill Contracts

The Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs, consisting primarily of commissions and related payroll taxes, when customer contracts are signed. The Company also capitalizes certain contract fulfillment costs, consisting primarily of the portion of the payroll and fringe benefits of the Company’s professional services team that relates directly to performing on-boarding and integration services for new and existing customers (collectively, “deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts”).

The deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are amortized over the expected period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be approximately 30 months. This expected period of benefit takes into consideration the duration of the Company’s customer contracts, historical contract renewal rates, the underlying technology and other factors. Amortization expense for deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts is included in sales and marketing expense and cost of sales, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. There were no impairment losses related to costs capitalized in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company classifies deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts as current or non-current based on the timing of when the related amortization expense is expected to be recognized. The current portion of these deferred costs is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, while the non-current portion is included in other non-current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the balances of deferred costs to obtain and fulfill contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:


	Deferred Costs to Obtain Contracts			Deferred Costs to Fulfill Contracts
Balances at December 31, 2023	$	288		$	98
Costs deferred		202			50
Amortization		(201	)		(66	)
Balances at September 30, 2024	$	289		$	82

No customer credit balances were written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

4. Stock-based Compensation

The Company's stock-based compensation expense is associated with stock options, RSUs and its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) awarded under its equity incentive plans.

Stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total stock-based compensation	$	213	$	309	$	957	$	2,594

For stock-based awards granted by the Company, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date based on the fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. No stock-based compensation was capitalized as internally developed software during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, while $10 and $87 of stock-based compensation was capitalized as internally developed software during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

There was no activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 under the Company's ESPP and there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to the Company's ESPP as of September 30, 2024.

5. Leases

The Company's primary operating lease is for space at a data center which was renewed in April 2022 and expires in 2025. In April 2023, the Company finalized exercising an option to decrease the space at the data center under the operating lease. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average rate used in discounting the lease liabilities for right-of-use (“ROU”) operating leases was 6.0% and the weighted-average remaining lease term for ROU operating leases was 0.5 years.

Operating lease costs, consisting primarily of rental expense, were approximately $429 and $1,284 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $439 and $1,403 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Variable rent expense was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The maturities of operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:



2024 (remaining)		414
2025		414
Total lease payments		828
Less: Amount representing imputed interest		(9	)
Present value of lease liabilities		819
Less: Current portion of lease liabilities		(819	)
Non-current portion of lease liabilities	$	—

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows:


	Nine Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2024		September 30, 2023
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:
Operating cash flows from operating leases	$	1,284	$	1,403
ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities:		72		161

7. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock, excluding common stock subject to repurchase, and, if dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no non-controlling interests, as such, all of the Company's net losses in the periods were considered to be available to the Company's common stockholders.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Numerator: Net loss	$	(2,326	)	$	(4,954	)	$	(6,755	)	$	(16,654	)
Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		3,135			2,985			3,089			2,920
Net loss per share, basic and diluted	$	(0.74	)	$	(1.66	)	$	(2.19	)	$	(5.70	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for all periods presented, as the impact of all potentially outstanding dilutive securities was anti-dilutive due to the Company having net losses in the periods. The following table presents the potential shares of common stock outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023
Outstanding stock options		50		55
Outstanding RSUs		95		300
Outstanding at September 30, 2024		145		355

The following table is a summary of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the specified periods and results of operations as a percentage of our revenue for those periods. The period-to-period comparisons of results are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods. Percentage of revenue figures are rounded and therefore may not subtotal exactly.

Revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $0.2 million, or 4%, and $1.0 million, or 8%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to customer turnover in the prior year that were not fully offset by new customer bookings in the same periods.

Revenue from our customers located in the U.S. represented 80% of total revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue, net from the Google Revenue Share Agreements accounted for 42% and 43% of total revenue, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 40% of total revenue, net for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, one customer accounted for approximately 19% and 17% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and two customers accounted for approximately 26% and 24% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. No additional customers accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1.4 million, or 45%, and $4.4 million, or 46%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower restructuring expense of $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and lower personnel costs of $0.3 million and $2.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, as well as no amortization of internally developed software during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $0.4 million and $1.3 million amortized during the corresponding periods in 2023, respectively.

Our gross margins increased to 60% and 58% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 30% and 29% for the corresponding periods in 2023. This was primarily due to lower cost of revenue as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, partially offset by slightly lower revenue as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023.

Sales and marketing expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $0.4 million, or 26%, and $2.1 million, or 38%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower marketing costs of $0.1 million and $1.2 million and lower personnel costs, including professional fees, of $0.1 million and $0.7 million and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as well as lower restructuring expense of $0.1 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1.1 million, or 38%, and $3.2 million, or 37%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower restructuring expense of $0.8 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as well as lower personnel costs, including professional fees, of $0.5 million and $3.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, partially offset by increases of $0.3 million and $1.2 million due to no costs being capitalized to internally developed software during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.3 million, or 12%, and $1.8 million, or 25%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower restructuring expense of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as well as lower personnel costs, including professional fees, of $0.1 million and $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was partially offset by an increase in credit loss expense due to the write-off of customer credits balances of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, interest income and interest expense. Other income (expense), net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.3 million, or 211%, and $0.5 million, or 89%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower interest income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million and lower foreign exchanges losses of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The increase in provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to the change in valuation allowances in the U.S. and taxable income generated by certain of our foreign wholly owned subsidiaries.

Since our incorporation in March 2006, we have relied primarily on sales of our capital stock to fund our operating activities. From incorporation until our initial public offering (“IPO”) we raised $105.7 million, net of related issuance costs, in funding through private placements of our preferred stock. In March and April 2013, we raised net proceeds of $109.3 million in our IPO. From March 2019 through December 2022, we raised total net proceeds of $52.1 million from at-the-market offering programs administered by Citizens JMP Securities, LLC (“Citizens JMP”) (formerly known as JMP Securities LLC), and in 2020 we received proceeds of $3.3 million from a loan through the PPP, of which $3.1 million was forgiven. From time to time, we have also utilized equipment lines and entered into finance lease arrangements to fund capital purchases. As of September 30, 2024, our principal source of liquidity was our cash and cash equivalents. Our primary operating cash requirements include the payment of compensation and related expenses, as well as costs for our facilities and information technology infrastructure.

We maintain cash balances in our foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, we had $5.6 million of cash and cash equivalents in aggregate, of which $0.5 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If funds held by our foreign subsidiaries were needed for our U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue U.S. tax liabilities associated with the repatriation of these funds. However, given the amount of our net operating loss carryovers in the U.S., such repatriation will most likely not result in material U.S. cash tax payments within the next year. Additionally, we do not believe that foreign withholding taxes associated with repatriating these funds would be material.

We have incurred significant losses in each fiscal year since our incorporation in 2006. We incurred a net loss of $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and a net loss of $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $351.0 million. Management expects to incur additional losses and experience negative operating cash flows into the foreseeable future.

In October 2024, we commenced the implementation of the 2024 Restructuring Plan, which is expected to result in the reduction of our global employees by approximately 27 employees, representing approximately 26% of our total headcount as of September 30, 2024. We estimate that we will incur between approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million of cash expenditures during the three months ended December 31, 2024 in connection with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, substantially all of which relates to severance costs, and we expect to substantially complete the 2024 Restructuring Plan in the same period. No costs were incurred related to the 2024 Restructuring Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In July 2023, we commenced the 2023 Restructuring Plan, which resulted in the reduction of our global employees by 64 full-time employees during the second half of 2023, reducing our total headcount by approximately 37%. The 2023 Restructuring Plan was substantially complete in 2023.

Our ability to achieve our business objectives, and to continue to meet our obligations, is dependent upon maintaining a certain level of liquidity, which is impacted by several factors, such as our ability to manage our cash flows, including the effectiveness of the 2024 Restructuring Plan, our ability to maintain our strategic partnerships, our ability to increase new bookings, the extent of customer acceptance, retention and use of the MarinOne platform, and general macroeconomic conditions such as inflation or the extent and duration of any recession. Although we have pursued, and may continue to pursue, additional sources of liquidity, including additional equity and debt financing, there is no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to manage our cash flows, increase new bookings, improve customer retention rates, or raise additional capital would have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Based on the funds we have available as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our history of recurring losses and negative operating cash flows, there is substantial doubt raised about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is substantially dependent upon our ability to achieve its intended business objectives. If we are unable to achieve our intended business objectives, it is probable that we may be required to initiate further headcount reductions and other cost savings activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or wind-up operations. These actions could materially impact our business, results of operations and future prospects. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the filing date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Due to the fact that we have not yet been able to obtain sufficient funding to sustain operations or realize a net positive cash flow, our management and board of directors have determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to seek strategic alternatives. As part of this process, we are exploring a variety of options with a focus on maximizing stockholder value, including a potential sale of us, a reverse merger, or a sale of our assets or other strategic transaction. We have been working with an investment banker to act as our financial advisor in connection with this review and similar matters. There can be no assurance that this process will result in us pursuing any particular transaction or other strategic outcome or as to the terms or timing of any potential transaction.

We are exploring a potential “reverse merger” or other corporate transactions. Any such completed transaction would have a dramatic impact on Marin stockholders. Given the preliminary stage of such discussions, at this time there is no way to quantify the potential impact of a transaction, if any. For any such potential transaction to progress, substantial due diligence by all involved parties would need to be conducted, as well as agreement of transaction terms, negotiation and approval of transaction documents and the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions, including in some cases preparation and public filing of required disclosure documents related to any proposed reverse merger party and

stockholder approval. Any such process would be time-consuming and expensive. There can be no assurance that any transaction will ultimately be successful.

If we are unable to complete a satisfactory transaction soon, it will be necessary to seek additional financing or pursue a dissolution and liquidation in the near future, where holders of our common stock may receive little or no recovery for their shares of common stock. Even if we do complete a satisfactory strategic transaction, our stockholders may not recognize any return on their investment in shares of our common stock. In parallel, we are also preparing for a potential statutory dissolution under the Delaware General Corporate Law and liquidation in the event we cannot raise additional capital or complete a strategic transaction in the near future, and we have engaged advisors to help us prepare for a potential dissolution and liquidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from our uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could materially impact our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Cash used in operating activities is primarily influenced by the amount of cash we invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the operation of our business and the fluctuations in the number of advertisers using our platform. Cash provided by or used in operating activities has typically been affected by net losses and further impacted by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, adjusted for non-cash expense items such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and deferred income tax benefits.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $5.6 million was primarily the result of a net loss of $6.8 million, adjusted for non-cash (income) expenses of $2.6 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, and provision for credit losses, and a $1.5 million net change in working capital items. These items consisted most notably of a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.1 million due to the decrease in revenue and the timing of related collections, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets (both current and non-current) of $0.2 million due to the timing of related disbursements, a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities (both current and non-current) of $0.2 million due primarily to the timing of related disbursements, and a decrease to operating lease liabilities of $1.2 million.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $12.6 million was primarily the result of a net loss of $16.7 million, adjusted for non-cash (income) expenses of $3.8 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and provision for bad debts and a $0.2 million net change in working capital items. These items consisted most notably of (1) a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.9 million due to the decrease in revenues and the timing of related collections; (2) a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets (both current and non-current) of $0.3 million due to the timing of related disbursements; and (3) a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities (both current and non-current) of $1.0 million due primarily to the timing of related disbursements.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was related to capitalized internally developed software costs.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily related to employees' taxes paid for withheld shares upon the settlement of equity awards.

There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2023 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we analyzed whether our internally developed software still met the definition of an asset and concluded that due to fact that the internally developed software does not have a future economic benefit to us, based on its negative cash flows, it no longer meets the definition of an asset. Additionally, as the internally developed software no longer meets the definition of an asset, the development costs related to internally developed software will no longer be capitalized as these development costs are considered to be unrecoverable. Instead, all development costs related to the internally developed software will be expensed as incurred.

Other than the change to internally developed assets, described above, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2023 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2023 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and Principal Financial Officer (our Chief Financial Officer), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required or necessary disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024, due to the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating management’s review of the long-lived asset impairment analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The review performed did not appropriately identify and evaluate an outlier in an assumption used to determine the fair value of internally developed software under the market approach valuation method. The material weakness resulted in a material corrected misstatement to the financial statements related to the full impairment of internally developed software as of December 31, 2023.

Remediation Efforts to Address the Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In order to remediate the material weakness relating to management’s review of the long-lived asset impairment analysis, management is taking remediation action by incorporating a review step to ensure all outliers identified through the review of the long-lived asset impairment analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which has been implemented in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Management will continue to review, optimize, and enhance its financial reporting controls and procedures. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, the Company may implement additional measures to address the material weakness or the remediation measures described above may be enhanced or modified. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated control operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through further testing, that the control is operating effectively.

Other than the control identified above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties summarized and described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Our history of recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we can increase our revenue, further reduce our expenses or raise additional capital to meet our obligations in the near term.

We have incurred significant losses in each fiscal year since our incorporation in 2006. We experienced a net loss of $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as well as net losses of $21.9 million and $18.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $351.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million. The losses and accumulated deficit were due largely to declining revenue and the investments we have made to attempt to grow our business and acquire customers. Management expects to incur additional losses and experience negative operating cash flows into the foreseeable future. Our revenue have decreased over the last several years, decreasing from $24.4 million in 2021, $20.0 million in 2022, to $17.7 million in 2023. Historically, we have relied primarily on the sale of our capital stock to fund operating activities.

Our ability to achieve our business objectives, and to continue to meet our obligations, is dependent upon maintaining a certain level of liquidity, which is impacted by several factors, such as our ability to manage our cash flows, including the effectiveness of the 2024 Restructuring Plan, our ability to maintain our strategic partnerships, our ability to increase new bookings, the extent of customer acceptance, retention and use of the MarinOne platform, and general macroeconomic conditions such as inflation or the extent and duration of any recession. Although we have pursued, and may continue to pursue, additional sources of liquidity, including additional equity and debt financing, there is no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to manage our cash flows, improve customer retention rates, or raise additional capital would have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Based on the funds we have available as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our history of recurring losses and negative operating cash flows, there is substantial doubt raised about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is substantially dependent upon our ability to manage our cash flows, including the effectiveness of the 2024 Restructuring Plan, as well as our ability to maintain our strategic partnerships, improve customer retention rates and increase new bookings. If we are unable to manage our cash flows, maintain our strategic partnerships, improve customer retention rates, increase new bookings or raise sufficient additional capital, it is probable that we may be required to initiate further headcount reductions and other cost savings activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or wind-up operations. These actions could materially impact our business, results of operations and future prospects. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the filing date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with GAAP. The going concern basis assumes that we will continue in operation for the next 12 months and that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Thus, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could materially impact our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain further financing and may require us to pursue a dissolution and liquidation.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is substantially dependent upon our ability to improve customer retention rates, increase new bookings and manage our cash flows. To achieve this, we plan to attempt to increase our market share for our current services through sales and marketing efforts, continue development of new platform features and deliver efficient service to customers, which may require additional capital and expenditures, which may be difficult, especially considering our financial condition and recent results of operations and if general macroeconomic conditions worsen.

We are currently exploring a potential “reverse merger” and other corporate transactions. Any such completed transaction would have a dramatic impact on Marin stockholders. Given the preliminary stage of such discussions, at this time there is no way to quantify the potential impact of a transaction, if any. For any such potential transaction to progress, substantial due diligence by all involved parties would need to be conducted, as well as agreement of transaction terms, negotiation and approval of transaction documents and the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions, including in some cases preparation and public filing of required disclosure documents related to any proposed reverse merger party and stockholder approval. Any such process would be time-consuming and expensive. There can be no assurance that any transaction will ultimately be successful.

If we do not complete a strategic transaction, or do not secure sufficient additional financing, we are highly likely to pursue dissolution and liquidation.

If we do not complete a strategic transaction or secure sufficient additional financing in the near future, it is highly likely that we will pursue a statutory dissolution under the Delaware General Corporate Law and liquidation. We are currently preparing for a potential dissolution and liquidation in the event we cannot raise additional capital or complete a strategic transaction, and we have engaged advisors in connection therewith. In the event of a dissolution and liquidation, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us

Our future results of operations may be affected by uncertainty regarding our future prospects.

Given uncertainty regarding our future prospects, our future results of operations may be adversely affected if customers, potential customers, suppliers, partners or employees become increasingly concerned about our financial condition and do not enter into or new continuing relationships with us or resign from their employment with us.

We expect to continue to incur losses and experience negative cash flows, and we may need to further reduce our expenses, change our business plans, sell additional securities, sell assets or borrow additional funds to sustain our business operations.

We currently operate at a loss and we anticipate that we will continue to have operating losses in the near term. Our business has not generated enough cash flow to fund our sales and marketing activities, research and development initiatives and other business activities. Based on the funds we have available as of the date of the filing of this report and our history of recurring losses and negative operating cash flows, there is substantial doubt raised about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern and grow our business and to realize profitability is substantially dependent upon our ability to improve customer retention rates, increase new bookings and manage our cash flows. To achieve this, we plan to attempt to increase our market share for our current services through sales and marketing efforts, continue development of new platform features and deliver efficient service to customers, which may require additional capital and expenditures, which may be difficult, especially if general macroeconomic conditions worsen. If we do not realize increases in our revenue, we may need to further reduce our expenses through additional cost-cutting measures, change our business plans or seek to sell additional securities, sell assets or borrow additional funds to sustain our business operations. In October 2024, we commenced the 2024 Restructuring Plan, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements in Item 1 of Part I. There is no guarantee that we will be able to realize the intended costs savings from this restructuring, or further reduce our expenses through any other future cost–cutting measures. Further, there is no guarantee that we will be able to issue additional securities or sell assets in future periods or borrow funds on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, in order to meet our cash needs and continue as a going concern. Our ability to raise additional financing is subject to a number of uncertainties, including but not limited to, the market demand for our stock, our financial performance and outlook, the market demand for products and services, and adverse market conditions.

We may require additional capital to sustain and grow our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to sustain and grow our business and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our existing platform and improve our operating infrastructure. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financing to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuance of equity or convertible debt securities our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 0.8 million shares of our common stock (after accounting for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split that occurred on April 12, 2024) under equity distribution agreements with Citizens JMP and received proceeds of approximately $41.7 million, net of offering costs of $1.5 million, at a weighted average sales price of $47.09 per share (after accounting for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split that occurred on April 12, 2024). The 0.8 million shares of our common stock that we issued under the equity distribution agreements during 2021 increased the number of outstanding shares of our common stock by approximately 57%, resulting in dilution to the percentage ownership of our previously existing stockholders. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold 0.2 million shares of our common stock (after accounting for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split that occurred on April 12, 2024) under a new equity distribution agreement with Citizens JMP for the sale of up to $50.0 million of

new securities in an “at-the-market” common stock offering facility and received proceeds of approximately $1.3 million, net of offering costs of $0.1 million, at a weighted average sales price of $7.98 per share (after accounting for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split that occurred on April 12, 2024). This facility expired on August 18, 2024 and we will not be able to raise any additional financing under it.

In May 2020, we entered into a loan agreement with Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC, or the Lender, as the lender for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $3.3 million, or the Loan, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. An aggregate principal amount of $3.1 million of the Loan was forgiven in January 2022 and we repaid the remaining outstanding balance of $0.2 million in February 2022. The U.S. Department of the Treasury, or the Treasury, and the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA, have announced that they will review all Payroll Protection Program loans that equal or exceed $2.0 million. While we believe that we acted in good faith and complied with all requirements of the Payroll Protection Program, if Treasury or SBA determined that our Loan application was not made in good faith or that we did not otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the Payroll Protection Program, we could be required to return the Loan or a portion thereof. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to sustain and grow our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.

Our usage-based pricing model makes it difficult to forecast revenue from our current customers and future prospects.

We primarily have a usage-based pricing model in which most of our fees are calculated as a percentage of customers’ advertising spend managed on our platform. This pricing model makes it difficult to accurately forecast revenue because our customers’ advertising spend managed by our platform may vary from month to month based on the variety of industries in which our advertisers operate, the seasonality of those industries and fluctuations in our customers’ advertising budgets or other factors. The market for digital advertising may be adversely affected by adverse market conditions, including inflation or any general economic weakening, which has in the past caused some advertisers to, and may in the future lead advertisers to, reduce the amount of their digital advertising spend. Our subscription contracts with our direct advertiser customers generally contain a minimum monthly platform fee, which is generally greater than one-half of our estimated monthly revenue from the customer at the time the contract is signed, and, as a result, the minimum monthly platform fee may not be a good indicator of our revenue from that customer. In addition, advertisers that use our platform through our agency customers typically do not have a minimum monthly spend amount or a minimum term during which they must use our platform, and as a result, our ability to forecast revenue from these advertisers is difficult. If we incorrectly forecast revenue for these advertisers and the amount of revenue is less than projections we provide to investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Additionally, if we overestimate usage, we may incur additional expenses in adding infrastructure, without a commensurate increase in revenue, which would harm our gross margins and other operating results.

We may experience quarterly fluctuations in our operating results due to a number of factors which make our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or our guidance.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as indicative of our future performance. If our revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, or below any guidance we may provide to the market, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.

In addition to other risk factors listed in this section, factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include the following:

Based upon all of the factors described above, we have a limited ability to forecast our future revenue, costs and expenses, and as a result, our operating results may from time to time fall below our estimates or the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

If the market for digital advertising slows or declines, our business, growth prospects, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Our ability to grow or sustain our business could be constrained by the level of acceptance and expansion of emerging cloud-based advertising channels, as well as the continued use and growth of existing channels, such as search and social advertising. Even if these channels become widely adopted, advertisers and agencies may not make significant investments in solutions such as ours that help them manage their digital advertising spend across publisher platforms and advertising channels. It is difficult to predict customer adoption rates, customer demand for our platform, the future growth rate and size of the advertising cloud solutions market or the entry of competitive solutions. The market for digital advertising may be adversely affected by adverse market conditions, including inflation or the effects of any general economic weakening, which caused some advertisers to, and may continue to lead advertisers to, reduce the amount of their digital advertising spend. Any expansion of the market for advertising cloud solutions depends on a number of factors, including growth of the cloud-based advertising market, growth of social and mobile as advertising channels and the cost, performance and perceived value associated with advertising cloud solutions, as well as the ability of cloud computing companies to address security and privacy concerns. Further, the cloud computing market is less developed in many jurisdictions outside the U.S. If we or other cloud computing providers experience security incidents, loss of customer data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, the market for cloud computing as a whole, including our applications, may be negatively affected.

We operate in a rapidly developing and changing industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by companies in rapidly developing and changing industries, including hiring and retaining qualified employees, determining appropriate investments of our limited resources, market acceptance of our existing and future solutions, competition from established companies with greater financial and technical resources, acquiring and retaining customers, managing customer deployments, making improvements to our existing products and developing new solutions. Our current operations infrastructure may require changes in order for us to achieve profitability and scale our operations efficiently. For example, we may need to automate portions of our solution to decrease our costs, ensure our marketing infrastructure is designed to drive highly qualified leads cost effectively and implement changes in our sales model to improve the predictability of our sales and reduce our sales cycle. In addition, from time to time, we may need to make additional investments in product development to address market demands, which may increase our overall expenses and reduce our ability to achieve profitability. Our ability to implement changes to our business and operations successfully and on a timely basis may be adversely affected by the restructuring plan that we commenced in October 2024, which is expected to results in the reduction of our employees by approximately 26% of our global headcount as of September 30, 2024. If we fail to successfully and timely implement these changes, our business may suffer, our revenue may decline and we may not be able to achieve growth or profitability. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in addressing these and other challenges we may face in the future.

We must develop and introduce enhancements and new features that achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with technological developments to remain competitive in our evolving industry.

We operate in a dynamic market characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry and legal standards. The introduction of new advertising platform solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of solutions based on new or alternative technologies, or the emergence of new industry standards could render our platform obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully, attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing cross-channel, cross-device, enterprise marketing software platform and to continually introduce or acquire new features that are in demand by the market we serve. We also must update our software to reflect changes in publishers’ application programming interfaces, or APIs, and terms of use. We have deployed our latest platform, MarinOne, and are in the process of deploying new features and services, including Marin budget pacing and dynamic allocation tools. In connection with the restructuring plan that we commenced in October 2024, we are focusing our business and product development efforts in more specific projects and initiatives. The success of these projects or any other enhancement or new solution depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, effective migration of existing customers with minimal disruption and appropriate introduction and market acceptance. Any new platform or feature that we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely manner, may contain defects, may be more costly to compete than we anticipate or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. Our ability to develop new products and features successfully and on a timely basis may be adversely affected by the restructuring plan that we commenced in October 2024. If we are unable to upgrade our software platform and features effectively or in a timely manner, or to anticipate or timely and successfully develop or acquire new offerings or features or enhance our existing platform to meet customer requirements, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with, and access to, publishers, advertising exchange platforms and other platforms that aggregate the supply of advertising inventory, our business will suffer.

We currently depend on relationships with various publishers, including Amazon, Apple, Baidu, Bing, Meta, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, Verizon Media, Walmart and Yahoo!. Our subscription services interface with these publishers’ platforms through APIs, such as the Google API or Meta API. We are subject to the respective platforms’ standard API terms and conditions, which govern the use and distribution of data from these platforms. Our business significantly depends on having access to these APIs, particularly the Google API, which the substantial majority of our customers use, on commercially reasonable terms and our business would be harmed if any of these publishers, advertising exchanges or aggregators of advertising inventory discontinues or limits access to their platforms, modifies their terms of use or other policies or place additional restrictions on us as API users, or charges API license fees for API access. Moreover, some of these publishers, such as Google, market competitive solutions for their platforms. Because the advertising inventory suppliers control their APIs, they may develop competitive offerings that are not subject to the limits imposed on us through the API terms and conditions. Currently, restrictions in these API agreements limit our ability to implement certain functionality, require us to implement functionality in a particular manner or require us to implement certain required minimum functionality, causing us to devote development resources to implement certain functionality that we would not otherwise include in our subscription services and to incur costs for personnel to provide services to implement functionality that we are prohibited from automating. Publishers, advertising exchanges and advertising inventory aggregators update their API terms of use from time to time and new versions of these terms could impose additional restrictions on us. In addition, publishers, advertising exchanges and advertising inventory aggregators continually update their APIs and may update or modify functionality, which has required us to, and will likely continue to require us to modify our software to accommodate these changes and to devote technical resources and personnel to these efforts which could otherwise be used to focus on other priorities. In particular, we invested significant research and development resources in recent periods to transition to a new API recently released by Google. Any of these outcomes could cause disruptions in our service, demand for our products to decrease, our research and development costs to increase, and our results of operations and financial condition to be harmed.

We have also entered into long-term strategic agreements with certain leading search publishers. Under these strategic agreements, we receive consideration based on a percentage of the search advertising spend that our customers manage on our platform. The majority of our strategic agreement revenue is concentrated in one revenue share agreement with Google. We entered into our original revenue share agreement with Google in December 2018 for a three-year term that ran from October 1, 2018 until September 30, 2021. We entered into a new revenue share agreement with Google in September 2021 for a three-year term scheduled to run from October 1, 2021 until September 30, 2024. Under these Google Revenue Share Agreements, we have been eligible to receive fixed and variable revenue share payments based on a percentage of the search advertising spend that is managed through our platform. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $7.2 million, respectively, from the applicable Google Revenue Share Agreement. Google has the right to terminate our current Google Revenue Share Agreement in certain circumstances and the agreement requires us to make minimum investments in product development. On July 24, 2024, we entered into the Google Search Ads Innovation Agreement for us to continue to develop its search advertising platforms, products and expertise. The Google Search Ads Innovation Agreement has a scheduled three-year term that took effect as of October 1, 2024, after the expiration of the prior Google Revenue Share Agreement on September 30, 2024, and is substantially similar to the prior Google Revenue Share Agreement, including the same minimum quarterly payments. Any termination or amendment of the Google Search Ads Innovation Agreement, or any failure of us to comply with the terms of the agreement, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business depends in part on the success of our relationships with advertising agencies and our strategic relationships with third parties.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business will depend, in part, on our ability to enter into successful relationships with advertising agencies. Identifying agencies and negotiating and documenting relationships with them requires significant time and resources. These relationships may not result in additional customers or enable us to generate significant revenue. Our contracts for these relationships are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit the agency from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Frequently, these agencies do in fact work with our competitors and compete with us. In addition, we often work with, or seek to work with, high-profile brands directly. This may not be possible where, for example, those brands obtain advertising services exclusively or primarily from advertising agencies.

We generally bill agencies for their customers’ use of our platform, but in most cases the agency’s customer has no direct contractual commitment to make payment to us. Furthermore, some of these agency contracts include provisions whereby the agency is not liable for making payment to us for our subscription services if the agency does not receive a corresponding payment from its client on whose behalf the subscription services were rendered. These provisions may result in longer collections periods or our inability to collect payment for some of our subscription services. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these agencies on commercially reasonable terms, or if these relationships are not profitable for us, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results would suffer.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business will also depend, in part, on our ability to enter-into and retain successful strategic relationships with third-parties. For example, we are seeking to establish relationships with third-parties to develop integrations with complementary technology and content. These relationships may not result in additional customers or enable us to generate significant revenue. For example, we have entered into Revenue Share Agreements with Google pursuant to which we are or have been eligible to receive fixed and variable revenue share payments based on a percentage of the search advertising spend that is managed through our platform. Identifying partners and negotiating and documenting relationships with them require significant time and resources. Our contracts for these relationships are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit the other party from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results would suffer.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

The overall market for advertising cloud solutions is rapidly evolving, highly competitive, complex, fragmented, and subject to changing technology and shifting customer needs. We face significant competition in this market and we expect competition to intensify in the future. We currently compete with large, well-established public companies, such as Adobe Systems Incorporated and Google Inc., and privately held companies, such as Skai.io. We also compete with channel-specific offerings, in-house proprietary tools, tools from publishers and custom solutions, including spreadsheets. We believe that our most significant competition comes from the SA360 product that is offered by Google and from other digital ad management tools offered by Google and other publishers. Increased competition may result in reduced pricing for our solutions, longer sales cycles or a decrease of our market share, any of which could negatively affect our revenue and future operating results and our ability to grow our business.

A number of competitive factors could cause us to lose potential sales or to sell our solutions at lower prices or at reduced margins, including, among others:

We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. If we cannot compete successfully, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

We have incurred, and may incur in the future, expenses related to governmental investigations of Google and Meta.

In 2020, U.S. federal and state and foreign governments and regulatory agencies initiated lawsuits or investigations against Google and Meta related to certain of their anticompetitive business practices and conduct in the digital advertising and social media industries and we cannot be certain as to how such lawsuits and investigations might affect Google or Meta or otherwise affect the digital advertising industry. We are not a party to any such lawsuits or investigations. As a participant in the digital advertising industry and having business relationships with Google and Meta, certain governmental authorities and Google and have requested us to provide information to them in connection with such lawsuits and investigations, and responding to such requests has caused us to incur, and may cause us to incur in the future from time to time, professional fees and other expenses in connection with responding to such requests.

Our business depends on our customers’ continued willingness to manage advertising spend on our platform.

In order for us to improve our operating results, it is important that our customers continue to manage their advertising spend on our platform, increase their usage and also purchase additional solutions from us. In the case of our direct advertiser customers, we offer our solutions primarily through subscription contracts and generally bill customers over the related subscription period, which is generally one year or longer. During the term of their contracts, our direct advertiser customers generally have no obligation to maintain or increase their advertising spend on our platform beyond a specified minimum monthly platform fee, which is typically set at the time the contract is signed and is generally greater than half of the monthly amount we anticipate the customer will spend. Our direct advertiser customers generally have no renewal obligation after the initial or then-current renewal subscription period expires, and even if customers renew contracts, they may decrease the level of their digital advertising spend managed through our platform, resulting in lower revenue from that customer. Some customers, including some of our largest customers, have contractual rights to terminate their agreements with us in some circumstances. Advertisers that we serve through our arrangements with our advertising agencies generally do not have any contractual commitment to use our platform. Our customers’ usage may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, their satisfaction with our platform and our customer support, the frequency and severity of outages, the pricing of our, or competing, solutions, the effects of global economic conditions and reductions in spending levels or changes in our customers’ strategies regarding digital advertising. We may not be able to accurately predict future usage trends. If our customers renew on less favorable terms or reduce their advertising spend on our platform, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline.

Unfavorable conditions in the market for digital advertising or the global economy or reductions in digital advertising spend could negatively affect our operating results.

Potential revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on digital advertising spend by advertisers in the markets we serve. Our operating results may vary based on changes in the market for digital advertising or the global economy. To the extent that weak economic conditions cause our customers and potential customers to freeze or reduce their advertising budgets, particularly digital advertising, demand for our solution may be negatively affected.

Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in advertising spend. If general macroeconomic conditions deteriorate or the rise of geopolitical instability and military hostilities or global health emergencies and pandemics such as COVID-19 causes economic uncertainty, our customers and potential customers may elect to decrease their advertising budgets or defer or reconsider software and service purchases, which would limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results.

Our business depends on retaining and attracting qualified personnel, and our reductions-in-force may result in operational inefficiencies that could negatively affect our business.

Our success depends upon the continued service of our talented management, operational and key technical employees, as well as our ability to continue to attract additional highly qualified talent. We have experienced employee attrition and have conducted restructuring actions. In October 2024, we commenced implementing the 2024 Restructuring Plan, an organizational restructuring and reduction-in-force plan to reduce our operating costs, and in July 2023, we implemented and completed the 2023 Restructuring Plan, each as described in Note 1 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Liquidity and Going Concern.” We expect to complete the 2024 Restructuring Plan by the end of 2024. These changes, and any future changes, in our operations and management team could be disruptive to our operations. Our restructuring actions, any future restructuring actions or employee attrition resulting from concerns about our future prospects or other reasons could have an adverse effect on our business as a result of operational and administrative inefficiencies and added costs, decreases in employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees. If key employees leave, we may not be able to fully integrate new personnel or replicate the prior working relationships, which could adversely affect our results of operations, stock price and customer relationships, and could make recruiting for future management and other positions more difficult. In addition, changes in other key positions may temporarily affect our financial performance and results of operations as new employees become familiar with our business.

We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. Each of our executive officers, key technical personnel and other employees could terminate his or her relationship with us at any time. Our business also requires skilled technical, sales and other personnel, who are in high demand and are often subject to competing offers. If we expand into additional geographic markets, we will require personnel with expertise in these new areas. Competition for qualified employees is particularly intense in our industry and particularly in San Francisco, California. An inability to retain, attract, relocate and motivate employees required for our business could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives and could materially harm our business and our customer relationships.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, most of our employees have been working remotely. In addition, the lease for our largest office, in San Francisco, California, expired in July 2022. As a result of these developments, we have transitioned to a more hybrid working environment with a larger number of employees dispersed remotely, which may present challenges to maintaining our corporate culture or employee productivity. We expect that most of our employees will work remotely for most of the time for the foreseeable future. Any failure to preserve our culture or productivity could negatively affect our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

We incur upfront costs associated with onboarding advertisers to our platform and may not recoup our investment if we do not maintain the advertiser relationship over time.

Our operating results may be negatively affected if we are unable to recoup our upfront costs for onboarding new advertisers to our platform. Upfront costs when adding new advertisers generally include sales commissions for our sales force, expenses associated with entering customer data into our platform and other implementation-related costs. Because our customers, including direct advertisers and agencies, are billed over the term of the contract, if new customers sign contracts with short initial subscription periods and do not renew their subscriptions, or otherwise do not continue to use our platform to a level that generates revenue in excess of our upfront expenses, our operating results could be negatively impacted. In cases in which the implementation process is particularly complex, the revenue resulting from the customer under our contract may not cover the upfront investment; therefore, if a significant number of these customers do not renew their contracts, it could negatively affect our operating results. In addition, because we capitalize certain upfront costs to obtain and fulfill contracts under authoritative accounting guidance, we could be required to record impairment expense for these upfront costs if the estimated revenue for these contracts is not realized.

Because we generally bill our customers over the term of the contract, near term decline in new or renewed subscriptions may not be reflected immediately in our operating results.

Most of our revenue in each quarter are derived from contracts entered into with our customers during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter may not be fully reflected in our revenue for that quarter. Such declines, however, would negatively affect our revenue in future periods and the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our solutions, and potential changes in our rate of renewals or renewal terms, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. In addition, we may be unable to adjust our cost structure rapidly, or at all, to take account of reduced revenue. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our total revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers must be earned over the applicable subscription term based on the value of their monthly advertising spend.

We have been dependent on our customers’ use of search advertising. Any decrease in the use of search advertising or our inability to further penetrate social and eCommerce advertising channels would harm our business, growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

Historically, our customers have primarily used our solutions for managing their search advertising, including mobile search advertising, and the substantial majority of our revenue is derived from advertisers that use our platform to manage their search advertising. We expect that search advertising will continue to be the primary channel used by our customers for the foreseeable future. Should our customers lose confidence in the value or effectiveness of search advertising, or if search advertising growth moderates or declines, the demand for our solutions may decline, and it may negatively impact our revenue. In addition, our failure to achieve market acceptance of our solution for the management of social and eCommerce advertising spend would harm our growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

Our sales cycle can be long and unpredictable and require considerable time and expense, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

The sales cycle for our solutions, from initial contact with a potential lead to contract execution and implementation, varies widely by customer, but can take as long as three to nine months. Some of our customers undertake a significant evaluation process that frequently involves not only our solutions but also those of our competitors, which has in the past resulted in extended sales cycles. Our sales efforts involve educating our customers about the use, technical capabilities and benefits of our platform. In addition, under certain circumstances, we sometimes offer an initial term, typically of a few months in duration, to new customers who may terminate their subscription at any time during this initial period before the fixed term contract commences. We have no assurance that the substantial time and money spent on our sales efforts will produce any sales. If our sales efforts result in a new customer subscription, the customer may terminate its subscription during the initial period, after we have incurred the expenses associated with entering the customer’s data in our platform and related training and support. If sales expected from a customer are not realized in the time period expected or not realized at all, or if a customer terminates during the initial period, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our ability to generate revenue depends on our collection of significant amounts of data from various sources.

Our ability to optimize the delivery of Internet advertisements for our customers depends on our ability to successfully leverage data, including data that we collect from our customers as well as data provided by publishers and from third parties. Using cookies and similar tracking technologies, we collect information about the interaction of users with our advertisers’ and publishers’ websites. Our ability to successfully leverage such data is dependent upon our continued ability to access and utilize such data. Our ability to access and use such data could be restricted by a number of factors, including consumer choice, restrictions imposed by advertisers and publishers, changes in technology, and new developments in laws, regulations, and industry standards.

For example, the release by Apple of its iOS 14 operating systems in April 2021 brought with it a number of new changes, including the need for mobile app users to opt-in before their identifier for advertisers, or IDFA, can be accessed by an app. Apple’s IDFA is a string of numbers and letters assigned to Apple devices which advertisers use to identify app users to deliver personalized and targeted advertising. Although we do not rely heavily on IDFA, low opt-in rates to grant IDFA access may result in advertisers rethinking their conversion tracking strategy. Any reduced ability of advertisers to accurately target and measure their advertising campaigns may cause spend fluctuations. If consumer resistance to the collection and sharing of the data used to deliver targeted advertising continues to increase, or the use and adoption of consent / Do Not Track mechanisms increases as a result of industry regulatory and/or legal developments, and/or new technologies are developed and deployed that have a material impact on our ability to collect data, such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of our operations.

Material defects, errors or disruptions in our software platform could harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our subscription services.

The software applications underlying our subscription services are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, which may cause disruptions in availability, misallocation of advertising spend or other performance problems. Any such errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems with our software platform, including those resulting from new versions or updates to our software platform or from changes or interruptions to third party applications or systems that we interconnect with, could negatively impact our customers’ businesses or the success of their advertising campaigns and cause harm to our reputation. If we have any errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems with our software platform, customers could elect not to renew or reduce their usage or delay or withhold payment to us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts or an increase in the length of collection cycles for accounts receivable. Errors, defects, disruptions in service or other performance problems could also result in customers making warranty or other claims against us, us providing refunds or credits to our customers toward future advertising spend, or costly litigation. We implement bug fixes and upgrades as part of our regularly scheduled system maintenance. If we do not complete this maintenance according to schedule or if customers are otherwise dissatisfied with the frequency and/or duration of our maintenance services, customers could elect not to renew, or delay or withhold payment to us, or cause us to issue credits, make refunds or pay penalties.

On occasion, we have granted credits to some of our customers in connection with product issues that resulted in unexpected ad spending, and we may agree to grant certain credits in the future, particularly as we gain experience with new products and features. After the release of new versions of our software or new products or features, defects or errors may be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our customers. We have recently launched our new MarinOne Budget Optimizer solution and we may observe performance issues with the product as it becomes more widely deployed with more customers and in more use cases. Changes or interruptions to third party applications or systems that we interconnect with could cause us to incur significant time and expense to remedy such issues or develop integrations with other third-party suppliers. As a result, material defects or errors in our platform could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

We primarily derive our revenue from a single software platform and any factor adversely affecting subscriptions to our platform could harm our business and operating results.

We primarily derive our revenue from sales of a single software platform. As such, any factor adversely affecting subscriptions to our platform, including product release cycles, market acceptance, product competition, performance and reliability, reputation, price competition, and economic and market conditions, could harm our business and operating results.

If mobile connected devices, their operating systems or content distribution channels, including those controlled by our competitors, develop in ways that prevent our advertising campaigns from being delivered to their users, our ability to grow our business will be impaired.

Our success in the mobile channel depends upon the ability of our technology platform to integrate with mobile inventory suppliers and provide advertising for most mobile connected devices, as well as the major operating systems that run on them and the applications that are downloaded onto them. For example, the release of iOS 14 brought with it a number of new changes, including the need for app users to opt-in before their identifier for advertisers, or IDFA, can be accessed by an app (which was released April 26, 2021). Apple’s IDFA is a string of numbers and letters assigned to Apple devices which advertisers use to identify app users to deliver personalized and targeted advertising. Although we do not rely heavily on IDFA, low opt-in rates to grant IDFA access may result in advertisers rethinking their conversion tracking strategy. Any reduced ability of advertisers to accurately target and measure their advertising campaigns may cause spend fluctuations.

Further, the design of mobile devices and operating systems is controlled by third parties with whom we do not have any formal relationships. These parties frequently introduce new devices, and from time to time they may introduce new operating systems or modify existing ones. Network carriers may also impact the ability to access specified content on mobile devices. If our solution were unable to work on these devices or operating systems, either because of technological constraints or because an operating system or app developer, device maker or carrier wished to impair our ability to purchase inventory and provide advertisements, our ability to generate revenue could be significantly harmed.

If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data or our data is otherwise obtained, our solutions may be perceived as not being secure, customers may reduce the use of or stop using our solutions and we may incur significant liabilities.

In the ordinary course of our business, we maintain sensitive data on our networks, including our intellectual property and proprietary or confidential business information relating to our business and that of our customers and business partners. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our business and reputation. Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal information technology systems and infrastructure, and those of our current and any future third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to breakdown or other damage or interruption from service interruptions, system malfunction, computer viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet (including harmful attachments to emails, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information), by persons inside our organization, or by persons with access to systems inside our organization. Any of the foregoing may compromise our system infrastructure, or that of our third-party partners and other contractors and consultants, or lead to data leakage.

The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We may not be able to anticipate all types of security threats, and we may not be able to implement preventive measures effective against all such security threats. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched, and can originate from a wide variety of sources. In addition, the prevalent use of mobile devices that access confidential information increases the risk of data security breaches, which could lead to the loss of confidential information or other intellectual property. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Third parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, including intellectual property and other confidential business information. Moreover, our employees, service providers and third parties work more frequently on a remote basis, which may involve relying on less secure systems and may increase the risk of, and susceptibility to, cybersecurity related incidents. We cannot guarantee these private work environments and electronic connections to our work environment have the same robust security measures deployed in our physical offices. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, we could lose potential sales and existing customers or we could incur other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business.

The costs to us to mitigate network security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be material, and although we have implemented security measures to protect our data security and information technology systems, our efforts to address these problems may not be successful, and these problems could result in unexpected interruptions, delays, cessation of service and other harm to our business and our competitive position. If the information technology systems of our third-party partners and other contractors and consultants become subject to disruptions or security breaches, we may have insufficient recourse against such third parties and we may have to expend significant resources to mitigate the impact of such an event, and to develop and implement protections to prevent future events of this nature from occurring.

We and our third-party service providers regularly defend against and respond to data security incidents, and we cannot assure you that our data protection efforts and our investment in information technology will prevent significant breakdowns, data leakages, breaches in our systems, or those of our third-party partners and other contractors and consultants, or other cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect upon our reputation, business, operations, or financial condition. If such an event were to occur that causes interruptions in our operations, or those of our third-party vendors and other contractors and consultants, it could result in a material disruption or delay of our product development programs. Furthermore, significant disruptions of our internal information technology systems or those of our third-party vendors and other contractors and consultants, or security breaches could result in the loss, misappropriation, and/or unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information (including trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information), which could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us. If any such event, including a computer security breach, results in the unauthorized access, use or release of personally identifiable information, our reputation could be materially damaged. In addition, such a breach may require notification to governmental agencies, the media or individuals pursuant to various federal and state privacy and security laws (and other similar non-U.S. laws), subject us to mandatory corrective action, and otherwise subject us to liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy and security of personal information. For example, data breaches frequently result in regulatory actions and commercial and class action litigation based on a variety of laws and legal duties, such as the CCPA, which provides for a private right of action in the event of certain data security breaches. Such actions could result in significant legal and financial exposure and reputational damages that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

In addition, our insurance may not cover all costs from a security incident or breach. The assertion of a claim against our insurance policies could result in premium increases, imposition of a large deductible or other adverse circumstances.

We primarily use third-party data centers to deliver our services. Any disruption of service at these facilities could harm our business.

We manage a significant portion of our services and serve substantially all of our customers from only a single third-party data center facility. While we control the actual computer, network and storage systems upon which our platform runs, and deploy them to the data center facility, we do not control the operation of the facility. The owner of the facility has no obligation to renew the agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew the agreement on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to transfer to a new facility or facilities, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.

The facility is vulnerable to damage or service interruption resulting from human error, intentional bad acts, cyberattacks, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events. Moreover, while we have a disaster recovery plan in place, we do not maintain a “hot failover” instance of our software platform permitting us to immediately switch over in the event of damage or service interruption at our data center. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, any outages or vandalism or other misconduct, or a decision to close the facility without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.

Any changes in service levels at the facility or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems at or related to the facility that affect our services could harm our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, subject us to potential liability, or result in reduced usage of our platform. In addition, some of our customer contracts require us to issue credits for downtime in excess of certain levels and in some instances give our customers the ability to terminate their subscriptions.

We also depend on third-party Internet-hosting providers and continuous and uninterrupted access to the Internet through third-party bandwidth providers to operate our business. If we lose the services of one or more of our Internet-hosting or bandwidth providers for any reason or if their services are disrupted, for example due to viruses or “denial-of-service” or other attacks on their systems, or due to human error, intentional bad acts, power loss, hardware failures, telecommunications failures, fires, wars, terrorist attacks, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes or similar events, we could experience disruption in our ability to offer our solutions or we could be required to retain the services of replacement providers, which could increase our operating costs and harm our business and reputation.

Depending upon the level of our customers’ usage of our software platform, we may need to continually improve our hosting infrastructure to avoid service interruptions or slower system performance.

We seek to maintain sufficient excess capacity in our infrastructure to meet the needs of all of our customers. We also seek to maintain excess capacity to facilitate the rapid provision of new customer deployments and the expansion of existing customer deployments. For example, if we secure a large customer or a group of customers that require significant amounts of bandwidth or storage, we may need to increase bandwidth, storage, power or other elements of our application architecture and our infrastructure, and our existing systems may not be able to scale in a manner satisfactory to our existing or prospective customers.

The amount of infrastructure needed to support our customers is based on our estimates of anticipated usage. If we were to experience unforeseen increases in usage, we could be required to increase our infrastructure investments resulting in increased costs or reduced gross margins, and if we do not accurately predict our infrastructure capacity requirements, our customers could experience service outages that may subject us to financial penalties and liabilities and result in customer losses. If our hosting infrastructure capacity fails to keep pace with sales, customers may experience service interruptions or slower system performance, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our revenue growth. As customers use our software platform for more complicated tasks, we will need to devote resources to improve our application architecture and our infrastructure in order to maintain the performance of our software platform. We may need to incur additional costs to upgrade or expand our computer systems and architecture if our systems cannot handle current or higher volumes of usage. In addition, increasing our systems and infrastructure in advance of new customers would cause us to have increased cost of revenue, which can adversely affect our gross margins until we increase revenue that are spread over the increased costs.

Our solutions must integrate with our customers’ enterprise applications and infrastructures. If we cannot efficiently implement our solutions for customers, we may lose customers.

Our customers have a variety of different data formats, enterprise applications and infrastructure and our platform must support our customers’ data formats and integrate with complex enterprise applications and infrastructures. If our platform does not currently support a customer’s required data format or appropriately integrate with a customer’s applications and infrastructure, then we may choose to configure our platform to do so, which would increase our expenses. Additionally, we do not control our customers’ implementation schedules. As a result, as we have experienced in the past, if our customers do not allocate internal resources necessary to meet their implementation responsibilities or if we face unanticipated implementation difficulties, the implementation may be delayed. Further, in the past, our implementation capacity has at times constrained our ability to successfully implement our solutions for our customers in a timely manner, particularly during periods of high demand. If the customer implementation process is not executed successfully or if execution is delayed, we could incur significant costs, customers could become dissatisfied and decide not to increase usage of our platform, not to use our platform beyond an initial period prior to their term commitment and revenue recognition could be delayed. In addition, competitors with more efficient operating models with lower implementation costs could penetrate our customer relationships.

Additionally, large customers may request or require specific features or functions unique to their particular business processes, which increase our upfront investment in sales and deployment efforts and the revenue resulting from the customers under our typical contract length may not cover the upfront investments. If prospective large customers require specific features or functions that we do not offer, then the market for our solution will be more limited and our business could suffer. In addition, supporting large customers could require us to devote significant development services and support personnel and strain our personnel resources and infrastructure. If we are unable to address the needs of these customers in a timely fashion or further develop and enhance our solution, these customers may not renew their subscriptions, seek to terminate their relationship with us, renew on less favorable terms, or reduce their advertising spend on our platform. If any of these were to occur, our revenue may decline and our operating results could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain our sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to generate anticipated revenue.

Increasing our customer base and achieving broader market acceptance of our software platform will depend to an extent on our ability to maintain our sales and marketing operations and activities. We are substantially dependent on our sales force to obtain new customers and our marketing organization to generate a sufficient pipeline of qualified sales leads; however, we restructured our sales team in 2023 in order to decrease our expenses, which may make our sales and marketing activities more challenging. Additionally, our solutions require a sophisticated sales force with specific sales skills and technical knowledge. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense, and we may not be able to retain our existing sales personnel or attract, integrate, train or retain sufficient highly qualified sales personnel. In addition, we may need to invest in lead generation activities to develop our pipeline of qualified opportunities for our sales force, which could increase our marketing expenses. If our lead generation activities do not increase our pipeline or if our sales force is unable to close opportunities at a high rate, then we may not generate an increase in revenue.

Any failure to offer high-quality technical support services may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and harm our financial results.

Our customers depend on our support organization to resolve any technical issues relating to our solutions. Any changes in our customer support teams could be disruptive to our operations. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on the quality of our solutions, our business reputation and on strong recommendations from our existing customers. In October 2024, we commenced the implementation of an organizational restructuring and reduction-in-force to reduce our operating expenses. The 2024 Restructuring Plan resulted in the reduction of employees by approximately 26% of our global headcount as of September 30, 2024, which could adversely affect our ability to provide the same of level of high-quality technical support services as in the past. Any failure to maintain high-quality technical support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to sell our solutions to existing and prospective customers, and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We offer technical support services with our solutions and may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for support services. We also may be unable to modify the format of our support services to compete with changes in support services provided by competitors. It is difficult to predict customer demand for technical support services and if customer demand increases significantly, we may be unable to provide satisfactory support services to our customers. Additionally, increased customer demand for these services, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our operating results.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and adversely affect our business, reputation or brand.

Our success and ability to compete depends in part upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions with our employees, customers, partners and others to establish and protect our intellectual property rights, reputation and brand. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate or we may be unable to secure intellectual property protection for all of our solutions.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitors could use our intellectual property to market products and services similar to ours and our ability to compete effectively would be impaired. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. In addition, we are aware that third parties have been attempting to impersonate us in conducting online scams, which could harm our reputation and brand. The enforcement of our intellectual property rights and the protection of our reputation and brand depends on our legal actions against any infringers being successful, but we cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights and protecting our reputation and brand might entail significant expense and diversion of management resources. Any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. Any patents issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages or may be successfully challenged by third parties.

Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective protection of our intellectual property may not be available to us in every country in which our solutions are available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S., and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.

We might be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights, our reputation and our brand, and our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our reputation and brand may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, our reputation and our brand could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, and could ultimately result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property.

We could incur substantial costs as a result of any claim of infringement of another party’s intellectual property rights.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the U.S. involving patents and other intellectual property rights. Companies in the Internet and technology industries are increasingly bringing and becoming subject to suits alleging infringement of proprietary rights, particularly patent rights, and our competitors may hold patents or have pending patent applications, which could be related to our business. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties, which we refer to as non-practicing entities, whose sole primary business is to assert such claims. We have received in the past, and expect to receive in the future, notices that claim we or our customers using our solutions have misappropriated or misused other parties’ intellectual property rights. If we are sued by a third party that claims that our technology infringes its rights, the litigation could be expensive and could divert our management resources. We do not currently have an extensive patent portfolio of our own, which may limit the defenses available to us in any such litigation.

In addition, in most instances, we have agreed to indemnify our customers against certain claims that our subscription services infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. Our business could be adversely affected by any significant disputes between us and our customers as to the applicability or scope of our indemnification obligations to them. The results of any intellectual property litigation to which we might become a party, or for which we are required to provide indemnification, may require us to do one or more of the following:

If we are required to make substantial payments or undertake any of the other actions noted above as a result of any intellectual property infringement claims against us or any obligation to indemnify our customers for such claims, such payments or costs could have a material adverse effect upon our business and financial results.

Our use of open source technology could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our software platform.

We use open source software in our platform. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by the U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market our software platform. While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur and we may be required to release our proprietary source code, pay damages for breach of contract, re-engineer our applications, discontinue sales in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could cause us to breach customer contracts, harm our reputation, result in customer losses or claims, increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business and operating results.

Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our sales to customers outside the U.S., our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.

We currently have personnel and/or customers in China, England, France, Ireland, Japan and Singapore, as well as the U.S. Due to our international exposure, our business is susceptible to risks associated with international operations. Managing our business and operations internationally requires considerable management attention and resources and is subject to particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of diverse cultures, languages, customs, tax laws, legal systems, alternate dispute systems and regulatory systems. In 2020, we restructured our international corporate structure to address changes in international tax laws and regulations, and completion of such restructuring may cause us to incur some additional expense. The risks and challenges associated with international expansion include:

We have limited experience in marketing, selling and supporting our subscription services internationally, which increases the risk that any potential future expansion efforts that we may undertake will not be successful.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate of foreign currencies could result in currency transactions losses.

We currently have foreign sales denominated in Australian Dollars, British Pound Sterling, Chinese Yuan, Euros, Japanese Yen and Singaporean Dollars. In addition, we incur a portion of our operating expenses in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates, which may cause our revenue and operating results to differ materially from expectations. In addition, the continued uncertainty around the full impact of Brexit and the exact trade arrangements upon exit has adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline and volatility in the value of the British Pound Sterling and the Euro, as compared to the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates and global financial markets may continue due to a number of factors, including political and economic uncertainty. If the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to foreign currencies, as it has from time to time in the past, our non-U.S. revenue would be adversely affected. Conversely, a decline in the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies would increase our non-U.S. revenue when translated into U.S. Dollars. Our operating results could be negatively impacted depending on the amount of expense denominated in foreign currencies. As exchange rates vary, revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses and other operating results, when translated, may differ materially from expectations. In addition, our revenue and operating results are subject to fluctuation if our mix of U.S. and foreign currency-denominated transactions or expenses changes in the future because we do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure. Even if we were to implement hedging strategies to mitigate foreign currency risk, these strategies might not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and would involve costs and risks of their own, such as ongoing management time and expertise, external costs to implement the strategies and potential accounting implications.

Managing a global organization has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and infrastructure. If we fail to manage our operations effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or address competitive challenges adequately.

Managing a global and geographically dispersed workforce and operation has required substantial management effort, the allocation of valuable management resources and significant additional investment in our infrastructure. We will be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and operations reporting procedures, and we may not be able to do so effectively. Moreover, we may from time to time decide to undertake cost savings initiatives, such as the 2024 Restructuring Plan, disposing of, and/or otherwise discontinuing certain products, in an effort to focus our resources on key strategic initiatives and streamline our business. Further, to support our customers and operations, we must continually improve and maintain our technology, systems and network infrastructure. As such, we may be unable to manage our expenses effectively in the future, which may negatively impact our gross margins or operating expenses in any particular quarter. If we fail to manage our anticipated growth or change in a manner that does not preserve the key aspects of our corporate culture, the quality of our solutions may suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract customers.

Future acquisitions or divestitures, strategic investments, partnerships or alliances could be difficult to integrate or complete, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We acquired and divested businesses in the past and may seek to acquire or divest businesses, products or technologies in the future. However, we have limited experience in acquiring or divesting businesses, products and technologies. If we identify an appropriate acquisition or divestment candidate, we may not be successful in negotiating the terms of any transaction, and our due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business, product or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or architecture, regulatory compliance practices, revenue recognition or other accounting practices or employee or client issues.

Any acquisition or investment may require us to use significant amounts of cash, issue potentially dilutive equity securities or incur debt. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm our business, including:

If we are unable to successfully integrate any future business, product or technology we acquire, our business and results of operations may suffer.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. For instance, in connection with our prior acquisitions, we issued shares of our common stock. We may consider divestitures of certain non-core businesses, products, technologies or other assets from time to time. We may not be successful in identifying buyers for any such assets or in negotiating the terms of any such sale. Any such sale could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

Domestic and foreign government regulation and enforcement of data practices and data tracking technologies is expansive, not clearly defined and rapidly evolving. Such regulation could directly restrict portions of our business or indirectly affect our business by constraining our customers’ use of our platform or limiting the growth of our markets.

Federal, state, municipal and/or foreign governments and agencies have adopted and could in the future adopt, modify, apply or enforce laws, policies, and regulations covering user privacy, data security, technologies such as cookies that are used to collect, store and/or process data, the taxation of products and services, unfair and deceptive practices, and/or the collection, use, processing, transfer, storage and/or disclosure of data associated with a unique individual. The categories of data regulated under these laws vary widely and are often ill-defined and subject to new applications or interpretation by regulators. Our subscription services enable our customers to display digital advertisements to targeted population segments, as well as collect, manage and store data regarding the measurement and valuation of their digital advertising and marketing campaigns, which may include data that is directly or indirectly obtained or derived through the activities of online or mobile visitors. The uncertainty and inconsistency among these laws, coupled with a lack of guidance as to how these laws will be applied to current and emerging Internet and mobile analytics technologies, creates a risk that regulators, lawmakers or other third parties, such as potential plaintiffs, may assert claims, pursue investigations or audits, or engage in civil or criminal enforcement. These actions could limit the market for our subscription services or impose burdensome requirements on our services and/or customers’ use of our services, thereby rendering our business unprofitable.

The General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, is applicable in all European Union member states and prescribes data protection requirements in the European Union and substantial fines for non-compliance. We make use of model contractual clauses approved by the European Commission in relation to the transfer of personal data from the European Union to the U.S. The European Commission’s model contractual clauses are subject to changes and legal challenges in the European Union, however, and it is unclear whether these will continue serve as appropriate means for us to transfer personal data from the European Union to the U.S. Some features of our subscription services use cookies, which trigger the data protection requirements of certain foreign jurisdictions, such as the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive. In addition, our services collect data about visitors’ interactions with our advertiser clients that may be subject to regulation under current or future laws or regulations. If our privacy or data security measures fail to comply with these current or future laws and regulations in any of the jurisdictions in which we collect information, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, civil or criminal enforcement, audits or other liabilities in such jurisdictions, or our advertisers may terminate their relationships with us. In addition, foreign court judgments or regulatory actions could impact our ability to transfer, process and/or receive transnational data that is critical to our operations, including data relating to users, clients, or partners outside the U.S. Such judgments or actions could affect the manner in which we provide our services or adversely affect our financial results if foreign clients and partners are not able to lawfully transfer data to us.

This area of the law is currently under intense government scrutiny and many governments, including the U.S. government, are considering a variety of proposed regulations that would restrict or impact the conditions under which data obtained from or through the activities of visitors could be collected, processed or stored. In addition, regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General are continually proposing new regulations and interpreting and applying existing regulations in new ways. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or the CCPA, took effect January 1, 2020, which provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new disclosure and operational requirements for companies. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. In connection with the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, new or amended data privacy laws may be adopted in the United Kingdom. The burdens imposed by the GDPR and CCPA, and changes to existing laws or new laws regulating the solicitation, collection or processing of personal and consumer information, truth-in-advertising and consumer protection could affect our customers’ utilization of digital advertising and marketing, potentially reducing demand for our subscription services, or impose restrictions that make it more difficult or expensive for us to provide our services.

If legislation dampens the growth in web and mobile usage or access to the Internet, our results of operations could be harmed.

Legislation enacted in the future could dampen the growth in web and mobile usage and decrease its acceptance as a medium of communications and commerce or result in increased adoption of new modes of communication and commerce that may not be serviced by our products. In addition, government agencies or private organizations may begin to impose taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet, which could result in slower growth or a decrease in eCommerce, use of social media and/or use of mobile devices. Any of these outcomes could cause demand for our platform to decrease, our costs to increase, and our results of operations and financial condition to be harmed.

If our customers fail to abide by applicable privacy laws or to provide adequate notice and/or obtain consent from end users, we could be subject to litigation or enforcement action or reduced demand for our services. Industry self-regulatory standards may be implemented in the future that could affect demand for our platform and our ability to access data we use to provide our platform.

Our customers utilize our services to support and measure their direct interactions with visitors, and although we provide notice and choice mechanisms on our websites for our subscription services, we also must rely on our customers to implement and administer notice and choice mechanisms required under applicable laws. If we or our customers fail to abide by these laws, it could result in litigation or regulatory or enforcement action against our customers or against us directly.

In addition, self-regulatory organizations (such as the Digital Advertising Network or Network Advertising Initiative) to which our customers, partners and suppliers may belong, may impose opt-in or opt-out requirements on our customers, which may in the future require our customers to provide various mechanisms for users to opt-in or opt-out of the collection of any data, including anonymous data, with respect to such users’ web or mobile activities. The online and/or mobile industries may adopt technical or industry standards, or federal, state, local or foreign laws may be enacted that allow users to opt-in or opt-out of data that is necessary to our business. In particular, some government regulators and standard-setting organizations have suggested a “Do Not Track” standard that allows users to express a preference, independent of cookie settings in their browser, not to have website browsing recorded. All the major Internet browsers have implemented some version of a “Do Not Track” setting. Furthermore, publishers may implement alternative tracking technologies that make it more difficult to access the data necessary to our business or make it more difficult for us to compete with the publisher’s own advertising management solutions. If any of these events were to occur in the future, it could have a material effect on our ability to provide services and for our customers to collect the data that is necessary to use our services.

Public scrutiny of Internet privacy and security issues may result in increased regulation and different industry standards, which could deter or prevent us from providing our current services to our customers, thereby harming our business.

The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is currently in flux and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Practices regarding the collection, processing, use, storage, transmission, disclosure, and security of personal information by companies operating over the internet have recently come under increased public scrutiny. State, federal and foreign lawmakers and regulatory authorities have increased their attention on the collection and use of consumer data. In addition, many jurisdictions in which we operate have or are developing laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Business—Government Regulations.”

The various privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations with which we must comply are complex and evolving. Compliance with such laws and regulations require we expend significant resources, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully comply with all such privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations, especially where they do or may in the future conflict with one another, nor can we predict the extent to which such new and evolving regulatory and legal requirements will impact our business strategies and the cost or availability of previously useful data, increase our potential liability, increase our compliance costs, require changes in business practices and policies, or otherwise adversely affect our business. Furthermore, any data breach or a failure by us to comply with the cybersecurity and privacy regulations and laws which we are subject to could result in penalties and fines, or in civil litigation against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including on how we use personal data, on our financial condition, and our operating results.

If we do not comply with applicable privacy guidelines and other applicable laws and regulations under which we are regulated, if there are changes to the guidelines, laws, or regulations, or their interpretation, or if new regulations are enacted that are inconsistent with our current business practices, our business could be harmed. We may be required to change our business practices, services, or privacy policy, among other changes. Changes like these could increase our operating costs and potentially make it more difficult for customers to use our services, resulting in less revenue or slower growth.

Our revenue may be adversely affected if we are required to charge sales taxes in additional jurisdictions or other taxes for our solutions.

We collect or have imposed upon us sales or other taxes related to the solutions we sell in certain states and other jurisdictions. An increasing number of states have considered or adopted laws that attempt to impose tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. et al, or Wayfair, that online sellers can be required to collect sales and use tax despite not having a physical presence in the buyer’s state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, states or local governments may adopt, or begin to enforce, laws requiring us to calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. A successful assertion by any state, country or other jurisdiction in which we do business that we should be collecting sales or other taxes on the sale of our products and services could, among other things, create significant administrative burdens for us, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, discourage clients from purchasing solutions from us or otherwise substantially harm our business and results of operations.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. If we experience material weaknesses or deficiencies in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 relating to our review of the long-lived asset impairment analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, specifically our review did not appropriately identify and evaluate an outlier in an assumption used to determine the fair value of internally developed software under the market approach valuation method. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

There can be no assurance that our remediation efforts will ultimately have the intended effects. Additionally, measures to remediate material weaknesses may be time-consuming and costly, and even if we remediate this material weakness, there can be no assurance that we will not have material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

If we cannot remediate the material weakness identified above, identify other material weaknesses or deficiencies in the future, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, in a timely manner, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

We are a smaller reporting company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are a smaller reporting company and as a result we can provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in our filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404 requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and we have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on the exemptions available to smaller reporting companies. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss or research tax credit carryforwards, which could adversely affect our profitability.

As of December 31, 2023, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards due to prior period losses, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2027 for federal purposes and began to expire in 2022 for state purposes. Our federal net operating loss generated in 2018 and after can be carried forward indefinitely. We also have federal research tax credit carryforwards, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2026. These net operating loss and research tax credit carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our profitability.

In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, such as research tax credits, in any taxable year may be limited if we experience an “ownership change.” A Section 382 “ownership change” generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of our stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws.

Future issuances of our stock could cause an “ownership change.” It is possible that any future ownership change could have a material effect on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, which could adversely affect our profitability.

If we cannot maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq may de-list our common stock, which would have an adverse effect on the trading volume, liquidity and market price of our common stock.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq. Nasdaq’s listing standards generally require that we meet certain requirements relating to stockholders’ equity, market capitalization, stock price, the aggregate market value of publicly held shares, and distribution requirements, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements. One of Nasdaq’s listing requirements is that our shares maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00. We received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq on April 26, 2023, advising that the closing bid price of our stock for the previous 30 consecutive business days was below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and, therefore, we no longer satisfied this Nasdaq requirement.

In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we had until October 23, 2023 (180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq deficiency notice) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, which we did not achieve prior to October 23, 2023. In October 2023, we applied to Nasdaq for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period and, in connection with such application, applied to transfer the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq approved our application effective on October 24, 2023, and the listing of our common stock transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of the opening of business on October 25, 2023. After the extension of the compliance period, we completed a 1-for-6 reverse stock split on April 12, 2024. Since the completion of the reverse stock split, the bid price of our common stock has closed at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. On April 29, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that we have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

If in the future the closing bid price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market is below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive business days or if we fail to continue to satisfy other listing requirements, we expect Nasdaq will provide us with a deficiency notice. If we are not able to timely correct any deficiency or if we otherwise become ineligible to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we expect Nasdaq will provide us with written notification that our securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.

If Nasdaq delists our securities for trading on the Nasdaq, we could face significant adverse consequences, including:

Such a de-listing would likely have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event that we receive a deficiency notice from Nasdaq or our stock is de-listed, we would discuss with Nasdaq plans to restore our compliance with the listing requirements and may take actions to restore our compliance, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to remain listed or to become listed again, would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity or trading volume of our common stock, would prevent our common capitalization and stockholder’s equity from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum requirements, or would prevent other future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.

The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations due to circumstances beyond our control, which could result in stockholders incurring losses on their investments and subject us to litigation.

Since our initial public offering, the closing sales price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (from March 22, 2013 through June 19, 2018), The Nasdaq Global Market (from June 20, 2018 through October 24, 2023) and The Nasdaq Capital Market (from October 25, 2023 to the date of this filing) has been volatile. From January 1, 2024 through November 1, 2024, the closing sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market ranged from $1.68 to $3.90 per share (after accounting for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split that occurred on April 12, 2024). Factors that may affect the market price of our common stock include:

Because our stock price has been volatile, investing in our common stock is risky.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced substantial price and volume volatility that is often seemingly unrelated to the operating results of any particular companies. If the market for technology stocks, especially software and cloud computing-related stocks, or the stock market in general experiences uneven investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results or financial condition. The market price for our stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies within, or outside, our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their stock have been subject of securities litigation. If we are the subject of such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

We have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

Delaware law and provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult, and limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.

Our status as a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including the following:

In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our restated certificate of incorporation, or our restated bylaws; (4) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our restated certificate of incorporation or our restated bylaws, or (5) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

GAAP are subject to interpretation by the FASB, the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change.
