1. Nature of Operations

Viant Technology Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Viant”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 9, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) and other related transactions. The Company operates a demand side platform (“DSP”), Adelphic, an enterprise software platform that is used by marketers and their advertising agencies to centralize the planning, buying and measurement of their advertising across channels, including desktop, mobile, connected TV, linear TV, in-game, streaming audio and digital billboards.

On February 9, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective the Company’s Form S-1 related to the IPO of its Class A common stock. The closing date of the IPO was February 12, 2021, and in connection with the closing and the corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization Transactions”), the following actions were taken:

• The Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation, under which the Company is authorized to issue up to 450,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, up to 150,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock;

• The limited liability company agreement of Viant Technology LLC was amended and restated (as amended and restated, the “Viant Technology LLC Agreement”) to, among other things, provide for Class A units and Class B units and appoint the Company as the sole managing member of Viant Technology LLC;

• The Viant Technology LLC Agreement classified the interests acquired by the Company as Class A units, reclassified the interests held by the continuing members of Viant Technology LLC as Class B units, and permits the continuing members of Viant Technology LLC to exchange Class B units for shares of Class A common stock of Viant Technology Inc. on a one-for-one basis or, at the election of Viant Technology Inc., for cash at the current fair value on the date of the exchange. Immediately following such reclassification, the continuing members held 48,935,559 Class B units. For each membership unit of Viant Technology LLC that was reclassified as a Class B unit, the Company issued one corresponding share of our Class B common stock to the continuing members, or 48,935,559 shares of Class B common stock in total;

• The Company issued and sold 10,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock to the underwriters at an IPO price of $25.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $250.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $17.5 million;

• The Company used the net proceeds of $232.5 million to acquire 10,000,000 newly issued Class A units of Viant Technology LLC at a per-unit price equal to the per-share price paid by the underwriters for shares of our Class A common stock;

• The underwriters exercised their option to purchase 1,500,000 additional shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders in the IPO. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. Pursuant to such exercise, the selling stockholders exchanged the corresponding number of Class B units for the shares of Class A common stock, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock were automatically retired, and 1,500,000 Class A units were issued to the Company;

VIANT TECHNOLOGY INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for per share data)

• The Class B stockholders and Class A stockholders initially had 80.5% and 19.5%, respectively, of the combined voting power of the Company’s common stock. The Class A common stock outstanding represents 100% of the rights of the holders of all classes of the Company’s outstanding common stock to share in distributions from the Company, except for the right of Class B stockholders to receive the par value of the Class B common stock upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or an exchange of Class B units;

• The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Class B stockholders to provide for certain rights and restrictions after the IPO; and

• Viant Technology LLC’s 2020 Equity Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Phantom Unit Plan”) was terminated and replaced with the Company’s 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”).

Immediately following the closing of the IPO, Viant Technology LLC is the predecessor of the Company for financial reporting purposes. Viant Technology Inc. is a holding company, and its sole material asset is its equity interest in Viant Technology LLC. As the sole managing member of Viant Technology LLC, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Viant Technology LLC. The Reorganization Transactions are accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company recognize the assets and liabilities received in the Reorganization Transactions at their historical carrying amounts, as reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of Viant Technology LLC. The Company consolidates Viant Technology LLC in its condensed consolidated financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest related to the Class B units held by the Class B stockholders on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information which are unaudited and include the operations of the Company, Viant Technology LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Viant Technology LLC is considered a variable interest entity. The Company is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of Viant Technology LLC and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity. As a result, the Company consolidates Viant Technology LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Viant Technology LLC has been determined to be the predecessor for accounting purposes and, accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and the related Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. Amounts for the period from January 1, 2021 through February 11, 2021 presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements herein represent the historical operations of Viant Technology LLC. The amounts as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the operations since February 12, 2021 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company.

Management believes that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the adjustments necessary for the fair statement of its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), or for any other future annual or interim period.

Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform with current presentation.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for per share data)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily those related to revenue recognition, operating lease assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, income taxes, allowances for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of capitalized software development costs and other property, equipment and software and assumptions used in the impairment analyses of long-lived assets and goodwill. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continues to evolve. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions consider macro-economic factors in the market, which require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in future periods.

Comprehensive Loss

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash with financial institutions and its cash levels exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s federally insured limits. Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers with principal operations primarily in the United States.

As of June 30, 2022, one individual customer accounted for 12.0% of consolidated accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, two individual customers accounted for 13.2% and 12.3% of consolidated accounts receivable.

As of June 30, 2022, one individual supplier accounted for 19.9% of consolidated accounts payable and accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, one individual supplier accounted for 16.8% of consolidated accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

JOBS Act Election as an Emerging Growth Company

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company,” the Company may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. An “emerging growth company” is one with less than $1.07 billion in annual sales, has less than $700 million in market value of its shares of common stock held by non-affiliates and issues less than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. The Company may take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that it (i) is no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of this extended transition period.

The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Until the date that the Company is no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the exemption provided by Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B), upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to its condensed consolidated financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, the Company will disclose the date on which it will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU revises the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments, including, but not limited to, available for sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Codification Improvements

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. The guidance is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim reporting periods within the annual period beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize operating lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. We adopted this standard at the beginning of fiscal 2022. See Note 5—Leases for additional information.

Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which clarifies an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modifications or exchanges. The ASU requires issuers to account for the modifications or exchanges based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange and whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt, or for other reasons. We adopted this standard prospectively on January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

The disaggregation of revenue was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Over-time revenue	$	173	$	1,105	$	361	$	2,209
Point-in-time revenue		51,027		49,306		93,468		88,346
Total revenue	$	51,200	$	50,411	$	93,829	$	90,555

Revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year was de minimis as of June 30, 2022 and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2021. These amounts do not include contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year, which is the majority of the Company’s contracts. The decrease from the prior-year end was primarily due to an agreement modification whereby the Company agreed to a $6.2 million cash settlement with one of its customers in exchange for the full, final and immediate termination of certain deferred revenue liabilities. The remaining decrease was due to the recognition of revenue during the normal course of business.

Remaining deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded in the current portion of deferred revenue within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, total interest cost incurred was de minimis. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, total interest cost incurred was $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total interest cost incurred was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Interest costs capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were de minimis.

5. Leases

At the beginning of fiscal 2022, the Company adopted new lease accounting guidance issued by the FASB. The most significant change requires lessees to record the present value of operating lease payments as operating lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.

We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective method at the beginning of fiscal 2022. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets for prior periods are not comparable to our fiscal 2022 periods. The Company adopted the new guidance by applying the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carry forward its original assessment of whether:

• our existing arrangements are or contain leases;

• our existing arrangements are operating or finance leases; and

• to capitalize initial direct costs.

The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets of approximately $21.0 million and operating lease liabilities of approximately $22.0 million, which were measured by the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. In accordance with the guidance, the Company elected the practical expedient to exclude from the measurement of the operating lease assets and lease liabilities leases with a remaining term less than one year. The Company also elected the practical expedient that allows lessees the option to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single component for all real estate classes of underlying assets. At adoption, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, we also reclassified deferred rent of approximately $1.0 million for operating leases at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 from other current liabilities (current portion) and other long-term liabilities (non-current portion) to current portion of operating lease liabilities and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities, respectively. The impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows was not material.

The present value of the lease payments was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease, which is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.

Lessee Arrangements

The Company has operating leases for its office space, which have remaining lease terms of up to nine years. The Company does not have finance leases. The Company did not enter into any leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the contract inception date. Our leases may require us to make fixed rental payments or variable lease payments, which are based on a variety of factors including property values, tax and utility rates, property services fees, and other factors. Since these costs are variable in nature, they are excluded from the measurement of the reported operating lease assets and liabilities and are expensed as incurred. The Company records rent expense for operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Some of our leases include renewal options to extend the leases for up to five years and/or termination options to terminate the leases within one year. If it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised, the exercise of the option is

considered in calculating the term of the lease. As of June 30, 2022, our operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately eight years and a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 2.9%.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had entered into an operating lease with total estimated future lease payments of $3.6 million that had not yet commenced and therefore is not included in the measurement of the operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The lease commenced in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Cash paid for amounts included in the operating lease liabilities was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2022
Operating lease cost	$	812	$	1,624
Short-term lease cost		355		698
Variable lease cost		2		99
Total lease cost	$	1,169	$	2,421

Rent expense on operating leases was $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2022 were as follows:

	As of June 30,
Year	2022
Remainder of 2022	$	1,000

This balance is recorded within accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The related expense incurred by the Company was $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and de minimis for the same periods in the prior year.

8. Revolving Credit Facility and PPP Loan

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 31, 2019, we entered into an asset-based revolving credit and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”). The Loan Agreement provides a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million with a maturity date of October 31, 2024. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by security interests in substantially all of our assets.

Advances under the Loan Agreement bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon our selection of either a Domestic Rate or a LIBOR Rate, plus an applicable margin (“Domestic Rate Loans” and “LIBOR Rate Loans”). The Domestic Rate is defined as a fluctuating interest rate equal to the greater of (1) the base commercial lending rate of PNC Bank, (2) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%. The effective weighted average interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 2.33% and 2.01%, respectively. The applicable margin as of June 30, 2022 was equal to 0.75% for Domestic Rate Loans and 1.75% for LIBOR Rate Loans. The applicable margin that commenced October 15, 2021 is between 0.75% to 1.25% for Domestic Rate Loans and between 1.75% and 2.25% for LIBOR Rate Loans based on maintaining certain undrawn availability ratios. The facility fee for undrawn amounts under the Loan Agreement is 0.375% per annum. We will also be required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as necessary.

The Loan Agreement contains customary conditions to borrowings, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to sell assets, make changes to the nature of the business, engage in mergers or acquisitions, incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness and guarantees, create or permit to exist liens, pay dividends, issue equity instruments, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock or make other investments, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The Loan Agreement also requires that we maintain compliance with a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of 1.40 to 1.00 at any time undrawn availability under the Loan Agreement is less than 25%. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants.

On May 6, 2022, the Company fully paid off the outstanding balance of advances under the revolving credit facility, and the carrying value as of June 30, 2022 was zero.

The carrying value as of December 31, 2021 was $17.5 million, which was recorded in “Long-term debt” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and approximated its fair value as the interest rate is variable and approximates prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements. The fair value of debt was estimated using primarily level 2 inputs including quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses, based on estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

PPP Loan

On April 14, 2020, the Company received proceeds from a Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of approximately $6.0 million from PNC Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The PPP Loan, which was evidenced by a note dated April 11, 2020, bore interest at an annual rate of 1.0% and matured on April 11, 2022. No interest or principal was due during the first fifteen months after April 11, 2020, although interest continued to accrue over this fifteen-month deferral period.

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for per share data)

Proceeds from loans granted under the CARES Act were to be used for payroll, costs to continue employee group health care benefits, rent, utilities and certain other qualified costs (collectively, “qualifying expenses”). The Company used the PPP Loan proceeds for qualifying expenses. In June 2021, the Company received notice of forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole, including all accrued unpaid interest. The Company recorded the forgiveness of approximately $6.0 million of principal and $0.1 million of accrued interest in “Gain on extinguishment of debt” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with the IPO, which occurred on February 12, 2021, the Phantom Unit Plan was replaced by the LTIP. On February 12, 2021, 6.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted under the LTIP. The Company is authorized to grant RSUs, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and performance stock awards under its LTIP. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had only granted RSUs and nonqualified stock options under the LTIP. Under the LTIP, 3.7 million shares remained available for grant as of June 30, 2022.

Stock-based compensation recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the nonqualified stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $3.59 and $3.55, respectively. The Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation relating to unvested nonqualified stock options of approximately $13.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years, as of June 30, 2022.

The following table presents the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of nonqualified stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

	Three and Six Months Ended June 30,	Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022	2021
Risk free interest rate	1.4% - 2.0%	1.2%
Expected volatility	61.5% - 62.7%	61.1%
Expected term (in years)	5.9 - 6.0	5.9
Expected dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate assumption for equity awards on the rates for U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued.

Expected Volatility. Due to the limited trading history of the Company’s Class A common stock, the expected volatility assumption is based on volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available.

Expected Term. Given the insufficient historical data relating to nonqualified stock option exercises, the expected term assumption is based on expected terms of a peer group of similar companies whose expected terms are publicly available. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the Company’s nonqualified stock option exercises becomes available.

Expected Dividend Yield. The Company’s expected dividend yield assumption is zero as it has never paid dividends and has no present intention to do so in the future.

Issuance of Shares

Upon vesting of shares under the LTIP, we will issue treasury stock. If treasury stock is not available, Class A common stock will be issued.

10. Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax computed by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to income before provision of income taxes due to Viant Technology LLC’s pass-through structure for U.S. income tax purposes and the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset in the current and prior-year periods, as well as a pass-through permanent difference related to the forgiveness of the PPP Loan in the prior-year periods. The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit (expense) on its share of pre-tax book income (loss), exclusive of the noncontrolling interest of 76.8% due to the full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, management determined based on applicable accounting standards and the weight of all available evidence, it was not more likely than not (“MLTN”) that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets including the difference in our tax basis in excess of the financial reporting value for our investment in Viant Technology LLC. Consequently, we have established a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022. In the event that management subsequently determines that it is MLTN that we will realize our deferred tax assets in the future over the recorded amount, a decrease to the valuation allowance will be made, which will reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company has concluded based on applicable accounting standards and the weight of all available evidence, that it was MLTN that its deferred tax assets subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) would not be realized as of June 30, 2022. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability related to the remaining tax savings it may realize from utilization of such deferred tax assets after concluding it was not probable that such TRA liability would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. As of the June 30, 2022, the total unrecorded TRA liability is approximately $10.3 million. If utilization of the deferred tax assets subject to the TRA becomes MLTN in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA, to the extent probable at that time, which will be recognized as an expense within its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

11. Loss Per Share

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, basic net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the same period. Shares of Class A common stock are weighted for the portion of the period in which the shares were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share has been calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic net loss per share while considering all potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

12. Noncontrolling Interests

We are the sole managing member of Viant Technology LLC and, as a result, consolidate the financial results of Viant Technology LLC. We report noncontrolling interests representing the economic interests in Viant Technology LLC held by the other members of Viant Technology LLC. The Viant Technology LLC Agreement classifies the interests acquired by the Company as Class A units, reclassified the interests held by the continuing members of Viant Technology LLC as Class B units and permits the continuing members of Viant Technology LLC to exchange Class B units for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the election of Viant Technology Inc., for cash at the current fair value on the date of the exchange. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in Viant Technology LLC while retaining control of Viant Technology LLC will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Class B units in Viant Technology LLC by the other members and future issuances of Class A common stock under the LTIP will result in a change in ownership, where the Company will rebalance the noncontrolling interest, offset by a change in additional-paid-in-capital.

The following table summarizes the ownership of Viant Technology LLC:

	As of June 30, 2022					As of December 31, 2021
Owner	Units Owned		Ownership Percentage			Units Owned		Ownership Percentage
Viant Technology Inc.		14,253,800		23.2	%		13,704,638		22.5	%
Noncontrolling interests		47,082,260		76.8	%		47,107,130		77.5	%
Total		61,336,060		100.0	%		60,811,768		100.0	%

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, noncontrolling interests exchanged 24,870 Class B units of Viant Technology LLC for 24,870 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which also resulted in the cancellation of 24,870 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that was previously held by noncontrolling interests with no additional consideration provided. There were no exchanges of Class B units of Viant Technology LLC for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table presents the effect of changes in the Company’s ownership interest in Viant Technology LLC on the Company’s equity for the periods indicated. The effect of changes has not been presented for the prior-year three- and six-month periods as there were no changes in ownership interest from the date of the IPO through June 30, 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Viant Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Viant,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are an advertising software company. Our software enables the programmatic purchase of advertising, which is the electronification of the advertising buying process. Programmatic advertising is rapidly taking market share from traditional ad sales channels, which require more staffing, offer less transparency and involve higher costs to buyers.

Our demand side platform (“DSP”), Adelphic, is an enterprise software platform that is used by marketers and their advertising agencies to centralize the planning, buying and measurement of their advertising media across most channels. Through our technology, a marketer can easily buy ads on desktop, mobile, connected TV, linear TV, in-game, streaming audio and digital billboards.

We serve marketers and their advertising agencies by enabling them to plan, buy and measure programmatic campaigns. We provide an easy-to-use self-service programmatic platform that delivers transparency and control. Our platform offers customers unique visibility across a variety of advertising channels with the ability to create customized audience segments leveraging our people-based and strategic partner data to reach target audiences at scale. Our people-based approach is in contrast to the inefficient approach of cookie-based tracking. People-based data enables marketers to use first-party data for both the targeting and measurement of their ad campaigns in a manner that we believe is more accurate than utilizing a cookie-based approach.

We generate revenue by charging platform fees and service fees pursuant to agreements that enable a wide variety of marketers and their agencies to select the mix of pricing and service options that suits their unique business and advertising budget.

These options consist of a percentage of spend pricing option, a monthly subscription pricing option, and a fixed CPM pricing option. Customers who prefer to use our platform on a self-service basis to execute their advertising campaigns enter into master service agreements (“MSAs”) with us, and we generate revenue under these arrangements by charging a platform fee that is either a

23

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (continued)

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

percentage of spend or a flat monthly subscription fee. Customers who prefer to use our fixed CPM pricing option enter into insertion order (“IO”) arrangements with us, and we generate revenue by charging these customers a platform fee at a price for every 1,000 impressions an ad receives. We also offer different service options to our customers accessing our platform under an MSA or an IO to enable them to use our services to aid them in data management, media execution and advanced reporting. When customers utilize our services, we generate revenue by charging a service fee separate from the platform fee consisting of (1) a fee that represents a percentage of spend; (2) a flat monthly fee covering services in connection with data management and advanced reporting; or (3) a fixed CPM that is inclusive of media, other direct costs and services.

We believe that offering a mix of pricing and service options provides greater flexibility and access to our platform for marketers and their advertising agencies seeking to plan, buy, and measure programmatic campaigns. Some of our pricing and service options are relatively new to the market and are not yet material to our business from a financial perspective.

Our financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, include:

• Revenue of $51.2 million and $50.4 million, representing an increase of 1.6%;

• Gross profit of $20.3 million and $18.7 million, representing an increase of 8.3%;

• Contribution ex-TAC* of $31.7 million and $32.2 million, representing a decrease of 1.4%;

• Net loss of $14.1 million and $18.1 million, representing a net improvement of 22.1%;

• Non-GAAP net income (loss)* of $(5.9) million and $5.2 million, representing a decrease of 213.5%; and

• Adjusted EBITDA* of $(3.1) million and $8.3 million, representing a decrease of 136.9%.

Our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, include:

• Revenue of $93.8 million and $90.6 million, representing an increase of 3.6%;

• Gross profit of $36.7 million and $34.5 million, representing an increase of 6.3%;

• Contribution ex-TAC* of $59.3 million and $58.9 million, representing an increase of 0.6%;

• Net loss of $27.7 million and $33.0 million, representing a net improvement of 16.1%;

• Non-GAAP net income (loss)* of $(12.7) million and $7.4 million, representing a decrease of 272.1%; and

• Adjusted EBITDA* of $(7.0) million and $13.2 million, representing a decrease of 152.6%.

* Contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. For a detailed discussion of our key operating and financial performance measures and a reconciliation of contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), see “—Key Operating and Financial Performance Measures—Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Attract, Retain and Grow our Customer Base

Our recent growth has been driven by expanding the usage of our platform by our existing customers as well as adding new customers. We believe that our customers value our solutions as our number of active customers for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 was 336, increasing by 48 active customers, or 16.7%, from the twelve months ended June 30, 2021. We further evaluate our customer’s usage of our platform and assess our market penetration and scale based on the percentage change in advertiser spend. We define advertiser spend as the total amount billed to our customers for activity on our platform inclusive of the costs of advertising media, third-party data, other add-on features and our platform fee we charge clients. Advertiser spend increased 31.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the six months ended June 30, 2021. The percentage change in advertiser spend is a key measure used by our management and our board of directors to evaluate the demand for our products and to assess whether we are increasing market share. Our management uses this key metric to develop short- and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding future enhancements to our software. We believe the percentage change in advertiser spend across our platform is a useful metric for investors because it allows investors to evaluate our operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. For a detailed

24

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (continued)

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

discussion of our key operating measures including the definition of active customers, see “—Key Operating and Financial Performance Measures—Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

We continue to add functionality to our software to encourage our customers to increase their usage of our platform. We believe many advertisers are in the early stages of moving a greater percentage of their advertising budgets to programmatic channels. By providing solutions for the planning, buying and measuring of their media spend across channels, we believe that we are well positioned to capture more of our customers’ programmatic budgets. Further, we intend to continue to grow our sales and marketing efforts to increase awareness of our DSP, Adelphic, and highlight the advantages of our people-based framework as cookie-based options become increasingly limited. As a result, future revenue growth depends upon our ability to retain our existing customers and increase their usage of our platform as well as add new customers.

Investment in Growth

We believe that the advertising market is in the early stages of a shift toward programmatic advertising. We plan to invest for long-term growth. We anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we invest in platform operations, technology and development to enhance our product capabilities including identity resolution and the integration of new advertising channels, and in sales and marketing to acquire new customers and increase our customers’ usage of our platform. We believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth, although they may have a negative impact on our profitability in the near-term.

COVID-19

The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by our clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the COVID-19 pandemic is contained, or economic activity normalizes. With the current uncertainty in economic activity, the impact on our revenue and our results of operations is likely to continue, the size and duration of which we are currently unable to accurately predict. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted. The ultimate impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, emerging variant strains of the virus with varying degrees of vaccine resistance, and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Growth of the Digital Advertising Market and Macroeconomics Factors

We expect to continue to benefit from overall adoption of programmatic advertising by marketers and their agencies. Any material change in the growth rate of digital advertising or the rate of adoption of programmatic advertising, including expansion of new programmatic channels, could affect our performance. Recent years have shown that advertising spend is closely tied to advertisers’ financial performance, and a downturn, either generally or in one or more of the industries in which our customers operate, could adversely impact the digital advertising market and our operating results.

Seasonality

In the advertising industry, companies commonly experience seasonal fluctuations in revenue, as many marketers allocate the largest portion of their budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. Historically, the fourth quarter has reflected our highest level of advertising activity for the year. We generally expect the subsequent first quarter to reflect lower activity levels, but this trend may be masked due to the continued growth of our business. In addition, historical seasonality may not be predictive of future results given the potential for changes in advertising buying patterns and consumer activity due to COVID-19. Periods that experience an increase in COVID-19 cases and resulting governmentally-imposed restrictions could cause our revenue to decrease. Political advertising could also cause our revenue to increase during election cycles and decrease during other periods, making it difficult to predict our revenue, cash flow, and operating results, all of which could fall below our expectations. We expect our revenue to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole.

Revenue	$	51,200	$	50,411	$	789		2	%

Revenue increased by $0.8 million, or 2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our revenue growth was due to a 24% increase in revenue from the prior-year period from certain marketers in industry verticals other than automotive and consumer products. This increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of certain marketers in the automotive and consumer products industry verticals decreasing or pausing their advertising spend due to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of inflation, rising interest rates, the tightening of credit markets and other adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical developments potentially indicative of an economic slowdown or recession. This resulted in revenue decreasing across these industry verticals by a combined 41% from the prior-year period. Despite the uncertainty that comes with such an environment, we have continued to experience increased demand for our people-based advertising products and services, as evidenced by the continued growth of several of our industry verticals, including retail, and an increase in our active customers to 336 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 288 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, approximately 85% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 came from customers that had been customers in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (continued)

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

Platform operations expense decreased by $0.8 million, or 2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) are amounts incurred and payable to suppliers for the cost of advertising media, third-party data and other add-on features related to our fixed CPM pricing option and certain arrangements in our percentage of spend pricing option. The change in platform operations expense for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a decrease in other platform operations expense due to a decline of $4.2 million in stock-based compensation expense related to our 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). This decrease was the result of RSUs granted in connection with our initial public offering in February 2021 (the “IPO”), a portion of which became fully vested during the previous year. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in TAC, a variable function of revenue, a $1.0 million increase in cloud costs due to continued enhancements to our cloud infrastructure, a $0.8 million increase in depreciation, and a $0.4 million increase in third-party costs in support of our Adelphic platform.

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 16%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $9.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in personnel costs due to increased sales and marketing headcount, a $2.5 million increase in advertising expense, and a $0.9 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses.

Total other expense (income), net increased by $6.2 million, or 105%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $6.1 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the prior-year quarter. The gain resulted from the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the “PPP Loan”) and related accrued interest. There was no comparable gain during the three months ended June 30, 2022. For additional information regarding forgiveness of our PPP Loan, see Note 8—Revolving Credit Facility and PPP Loan to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue increased by $3.3 million, or 4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our revenue growth was due to a 28% increase in revenue from the prior-year period from certain marketers in industry verticals other than automotive and consumer products. This increase in revenue was partially offset by the impact of certain marketers in the automotive and consumer products industry verticals decreasing or pausing their advertising spend due to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of inflation, rising interest rates, the tightening of credit markets and other adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical developments potentially indicative of an economic slowdown or recession. This resulted in revenue decreasing across these industry verticals by approximately 39% from the prior-year period. Additionally, approximately 88% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 came from customers that had been customers in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Key Operating and Financial Performance Measures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and assess our operational efficiencies. We believe these measures enhance an overall understanding of our performance and investors’ ability to review our business from the same perspective as management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include contribution ex-TAC, average contribution ex-TAC per active customer, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted, and non-GAAP operating expenses, each of which are discussed immediately following the table below, along with the operational performance measure of active customers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables presented below. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and may exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Contribution ex-TAC

Contribution ex-TAC is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP financial measure, which is calculated as revenue less platform operations expense. In calculating contribution ex-TAC, we add back other platform operations expense to gross profit. Contribution ex-TAC is a key profitability measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short- and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that contribution ex-TAC can provide a measure of period-to-period comparisons for all pricing options within our business. Accordingly, we believe that this measure provides information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Our use of contribution ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. A potential limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that other companies, including companies in our industry that have similar business arrangements, may define contribution ex-TAC differently, which may make comparisons difficult. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP financial

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenue, gross profit, net income (loss) and cash flows. For a reconciliation of contribution ex-TAC to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see “—Average contribution ex-TAC per active customer.”

Active customers

We define an active customer as a customer that had total aggregate contribution ex-TAC of at least $5,000 through our platform during the previous twelve months. For purposes of this definition, a customer that operates under any of our pricing options that equals or exceeds the aforementioned contribution ex-TAC threshold is considered an active customer. Active customers is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short- and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding future enhancements to our software. We believe active customers is a useful metric for investors because it allows investors to evaluate the Company’s operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Active customers is an operational metric calculated using contribution ex-TAC, a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of contribution ex-TAC to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see “—Average contribution ex-TAC per active customer.”

Average contribution ex-TAC per active customer

We define average contribution ex-TAC per active customer as contribution ex-TAC for the trailing 12-month period presented divided by active customers. Average gross profit per active customer is the most comparable GAAP measure, which we define as gross profit for the trailing 12-month period presented divided by active customers. We believe that the total number of active customers and average contribution ex-TAC per active customer are measures of our ability to increase profitability and the effectiveness of our sales force, although we expect these measures to fluctuate based on the seasonality in our business. Customers that generated less than $5,000 in contribution ex-TAC in the trailing 12-month period were not material in the aggregate in any period.

The following table presents the calculation of gross profit, the reconciliation of gross profit to contribution ex-TAC, average gross profit per active customer and average contribution ex-TAC per active customer for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses and the extinguishment of debt. Net income (loss) is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing adjusted EBITDA by contribution ex-TAC for the period or periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC are used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating adjusted EBITDA can provide a measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by our management and board of directors to evaluate adjusted EBITDA relative to our profitability after costs that are directly variable to revenues, which comprise TAC. Accordingly, we believe

32

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC provide information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Our use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include:

• other companies, including companies in our industry that have similar business arrangements, may report adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC, or similarly titled measures, but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and

• adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenue, net income (loss) and cash flows.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Non-GAAP net income (loss)

Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses and the extinguishment of debt. Net income (loss) is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of stock-based compensation, gain on debt extinguishment, and certain other items that are not related to our core operations provides measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business and additional insight into our core controllable costs. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) provides information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted

Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted, adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses and the extinguishment of debt. Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted is used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.

Our use of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include:

• other companies, including companies in our industry that have similar business arrangements, may report non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted or similarly titled measures, but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures; and

• although the stock-based compensation related to the LTIP referred to above is non-cash in nature, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted does not reflect its impact on net income (loss) attributable to all common stockholders.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted.

Basic non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Class A common stockholders by the number of weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Shares of our Class B common stock do not share in our earnings or losses and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted non-GAAP earnings (loss) of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Diluted non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock adjusts the basic non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share for the potential dilutive impact of common shares such as equity awards using the treasury-stock method and Class B common stock using the if-converted method. Diluted non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Shares of our Class B common stock, RSUs and nonqualified stock options are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Class B common stock and nonqualified stock options amounts have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive under the if-converted and treasury stock method, respectively.

Non-GAAP Operating Expenses

Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. Total operating expenses is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined by us as total operating expenses plus other expense (income), net less TAC, stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, and transaction expenses. Non-GAAP operating expenses is a key component in calculating adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the measures we use to provide our quarterly and annual business outlook to the investment community. Additionally, non-GAAP operating expenses is used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. We believe that the elimination of depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, TAC and certain other items not related to our core operations provides another measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, provides additional insight into our discretionary costs and is a useful metric for investors because it allows them to evaluate our operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Our use of non-GAAP operating expenses has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. A potential limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that other companies, including companies in our industry that have similar business arrangements, may define non-GAAP operating expenses differently, which may make comparisons difficult. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenue, gross profit, net income (loss) and cash flows.

The following table presents a reconciliation of total operating expenses to non-GAAP operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $207.2 million and working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, of $232.9 million, compared to cash of $238.5 million and working capital of $269.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

Our primary sources of cash are revenues derived from the programmatic purchase of advertising on our platform and our existing cash balances, although we have, and may in the future, address our liquidity needs by utilizing our borrowing capacity under our asset-based revolving credit and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) we entered into with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”) on October 31, 2019 or raising additional funds by issuing equity.

Our primary uses of cash are capital expenditures to develop our software in support of enhancing our technology platform; purchases of property and equipment in support of our expanding headcount as a result of our growth; the payment of debt obligations used to finance our operations, capital expenditures, platform development and rapid growth; and future minimum payments under our

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

non-cancelable operating leases. We intend to continue investing in critical areas of our business in 2022 to further accelerate demand for our product and growth across the platform.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash sufficient to fund our short- and long-term cash requirements. As such, we project our anticipated cash requirements as well as cash flows generated from operating activities to meet those needs. We believe our existing cash, cash flow from revenues derived from the programmatic purchase of advertising on our platform, and the undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility from the Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements over the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations beyond the next 12 months through a combination of existing cash, cash flow from operations, the undrawn availability under our credit facility and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings. Our ability to fund longer-term operating needs will depend on our ability to generate positive cash flows through programmatic advertising purchases on our platform, our ability to access the capital markets, and other factors, including those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, our material cash requirements from known contractual obligations consisted of future minimum payments under our non-cancelable operating leases, which we estimate will be approximately $1.0 million for the remainder of 2022, $3.7 million in 2023, $3.1 million in 2024, $3.0 million in 2025 and $3.0 million in 2026.

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022 other than the indemnification agreements described in Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are a holding company with no operations of our own and are dependent on distributions from Viant Technology LLC, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) we entered into with Viant Technology LLC, continuing members of Viant Technology LLC and the TRA Representative (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) on February 9, 2021, to pay our taxes and satisfy any current or future cash requirements. Our Loan Agreement with PNC Bank imposes, and any future credit facilities may impose, limitations on our ability and the ability of Viant Technology LLC to pay dividends to third parties.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our Loan Agreement with PNC Bank provides us with access to a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility through October 31, 2024 and is collateralized by security interests in substantially all of our assets. As of June 30, 2022, there was no outstanding balance and $40.0 million of undrawn availability under the Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we had a balance of $17.5 million of outstanding borrowings and $22.5 million of undrawn availability under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement contains customary conditions to borrowings, events of default and covenants, and also contains a financial covenant requiring us not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with this covenant, and we do not believe this covenant or any other provision in the Loan Agreement will impact our credit or cash in the next 12 months or restrict our ability to execute on our business plan beyond 12 months.

For further discussion of our Loan Agreement with PNC Bank, refer to Note 8—Revolving Credit Facility and PPP Loan to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (continued)

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

Cash Flows Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities have been primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers and related payments to our suppliers of advertising media and data. Cash flows from operating activities have been affected by changes in our working capital, particularly changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to suppliers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. We typically pay suppliers in advance of collections from our customers. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period. In addition, we expect seasonality to impact cash flows from operating activities on a quarterly basis.

Our cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8.5 million, a net decrease of $32.1 million, or 136%, from cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $23.6 million. The change in cash flows for the period were primarily due to:

• a decrease of $27.7 million from net loss;

• an increase of $22.2 million due to noncash add back adjustments to net loss primarily comprised of $14.1 million for stock-based compensation, $6.4 million for depreciation and amortization, and $1.3 million of amortization of operating lease assets;

• an increase of $5.5 million from changes in working capital (excluding deferred revenue, other liabilities, and operating lease liabilities), including a net increase of $17.3 million in accounts receivable, prepaid assets and other assets primarily related to lower sales and timing of customer collections due to seasonal fluctuations, partially offset by a decrease of $11.8 million in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued compensation primarily related to timing of payments;

• a decrease in deferred revenue of $6.5 million primarily related to the modification agreement with a customer whereby we paid a sum to the customer in exchange for the full, final and immediate termination of certain deferred revenue liabilities;

• a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $1.0 million; and

• a decrease in other liabilities of $1.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash provided by operating activities of $23.6 million resulted primarily from a net loss of $33.0 million offset by noncash add back adjustments to net loss of $46.8 million for stock-based compensation, $5.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.2 million in recovery of doubtful accounts and an increase in net working capital (excluding deferred revenue and other liabilities) of $12.6 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.1 million and a decrease in other liabilities of $0.5 million.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures to develop our software in support of enhancing our technology platform and purchases of property and equipment in support of our expanding headcount as a result of our growth. We capitalize certain costs associated with creating and enhancing internally developed software related to our technology infrastructure that are recorded within property, equipment and software, net. These costs include personnel and related employee benefit expenses for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to software development projects. Purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs may vary from period-to-period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations, the addition of headcount and our software development cycles. As a result of capitalization of stock-based compensation in future periods and the growth of our business, we expect our capital expenditures and our investment activity to continue to increase.

Our cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.3 million, a net increase of $0.3 million, or 8.0%, from cash flows used in investing activities for six months ended June 30, 2021 of $4.0 million. The change in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily due to:

• $3.9 million of investments in capitalized software to develop our software in support of enhancing our technology platform; and

• $0.4 million of purchases of property and equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities of $4.0 million resulted primarily from investments in capitalized software development costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (continued)

(unaudited; tabular dollars in thousands, except for percentages and per share data)

Cash Flows Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities

Our financing activities have consisted primarily of proceeds from borrowings and repayments of our debt, issuances of our equity and payments of member distributions. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities has been and will be used to finance our operations, capital expenditures, platform development and rapid growth.

Our cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $18.4 million, a net decrease of $241.5 million from cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $223.1 million. The decrease in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior period in 2021 is a result of the $232.5 million of proceeds from our IPO that closed in February 2021, net of underwriting discounts and the $17.5 million repayment of our revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities of $223.1 million resulted primarily from $232.5 million of IPO proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, partially offset by payments of $2.6 million in related offering costs and $6.8 million in payments of member tax distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the evaluation of revenue recognition criteria, including the determination of revenue recognition net versus gross assessment in our revenue arrangements, the assumptions used in the valuation models to determine the fair value of common stock and stock-based compensation, and internal use software have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, see Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition. Defending any such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our Class A common stock, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our Class A common stock, can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering

On February 12, 2021, we completed our IPO, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock (inclusive of 1,500,000 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at the IPO price of $25.00 per share. The offer and sale of the shares of Class A common stock in the IPO were registered pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-252117 and 333-252907), which became effective on February 9, 2021.

There has been no material change in the intended use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus, dated February 9, 2021 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on February 11, 2021.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Under the LTIP, we are permitted to satisfy any national, state, local or other tax withholding obligation due upon the vesting of an award granted under the LTIP by repurchasing an amount of shares otherwise deliverable on the vesting date having a fair market value equal to the withholding obligation.
