CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to expectations for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for our business. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of Innovid. Although Innovid believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Should one or more of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to:
• our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
• our ability to raise financing in the future;
• our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
• changes in applicable laws or regulations;
• our ability to maintain and expand relationships with advertisers;
• decreases and/or changes in CTV audience viewership behavior;
• Innovid’s ability to make the right investment decisions and to innovate and develop new solutions;
• the accuracy of Innovid’s estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth and projections of future financial performance;
• the extent of investment required in Innovid’s sales and marketing efforts;
• Innovid’s ability to effectively manage its growth;
• sustained overall demand for advertising;
• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
• the continued acceptance of digital advertising by consumers and the impact of opt-in, opt-out or ad-blocking technologies;
• Innovid’s ability to scale its platform and infrastructure to support anticipated growth and transaction volume;
• the impact of increasing competition in the digital advertising space, including with competitors who have significantly more resources;
• other risks and uncertainties indicated in this report, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” and those incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2023.
These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2022, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
Prior period reclassification:
During the second quarter of 2022 we began presenting depreciation and amortization expenses as a separate line item on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and all prior periods have been adjusted. Depreciation and amortization expenses were previously included in cost of sales and other operating expenses depending on the underlying asset’s function. Additionally, we no longer present gross profit as a subtotal on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The reclassification is intended to better reflect the financial performance of transactions with customers as our business has evolved including our most recent acquisition of TVS. The change is intended to provide more clarity about changes in cost of revenue and other operating expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and better align with how our peers and competitors present their financial statements.
INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except stock and per stock data)
In accordance with US GAAP, all periods presented below have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reclassification of cost of revenue and other operating expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization. There was no net impact to loss from operations, net loss attributable to common stockholders or net loss per stock for any periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed statements of changes in temporary equity and stockholders’ equity, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are not affected by this reclassification. The effect of the change is as follows:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Policies
Software development costs
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and personnel-related employee benefits for employees directly associated with the software development and external costs of the materials or services consumed in developing or obtaining the software.
Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized. Once this software is ready for use in providing the Company's services, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three years. The amortization is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the Company capitalized $3,456 and $1,671, respectively, related to internal-use software cost.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If there are indications of an impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the Company tested its asset groups for recoverability and concluded that no impairment should be recognized.

Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combination” (“ASC 805”) and allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements resulting from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test.
Reporting units are evaluated when changes in the Company’s operating structure occur, and if necessary, goodwill is reassigned using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company currently has one reporting unit.
ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company performed an impairment test for goodwill for its reporting unit using a quantitative testing approach. Based on the evaluation performed, the Company determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, and therefore, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.
Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Customer relationships, acquired technology and trade name are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 11 years, 6 years, and 4 years, respectively, using straight-line amortization method.
The amortization of customer relationships, acquired technology and trade name is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies a fair value framework to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s warrant liability includes the Warrants, refer to Note 5, Warrants, that were originally issued in connection with ION’s initial public offering, the “ION IPO”, which were transferred to the Company as part of the Transaction. The Company’s Warrants are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement the valuation will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, indicates that the fair value should be determined “from the perspective of a market participant that holds the identical item” and “use the quoted price in an active market held by another party, if that price is available.”
The Company has determined that the fair value of the Public Warrants, refer to Note 5, Warrants, at a specific date is determined by the closing price of the Company’s warrants, and are within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The closing price of the warrants was $0.10 and $0.40 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the Public Warrants’ liability is recognized in finance income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Private Warrants are classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2023 and continue to be valued based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the Private Warrants’ liability is recognized in finance income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 5, Warrants for further discussion.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Concentrations of credit risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and trade receivables, net.
Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with major banks in US and Israel. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent of the amounts recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets exceed federally insured limits. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), where the Company maintains an operating account with a cash balance of $32,571 of the Company's total cash, cash equivalents, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and the FDIC was appointed as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Board, and FDIC released a joint statement announcing that the FDIC would complete its resolution of SVB in a manner that fully protected all depositors at SVB and that depositors would have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023. On March 27, 2023 First Citizens BancShares, Inc. announced, that it has entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to purchase all of the assets and liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. Due to these actions the Company does not believe that it has exposure to loss as a result of SVB’s receivership.
The Company’s trade receivables, net is mainly derived from sales to customers located in the US, APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing an ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions.
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480 and meet all the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “Financial income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue recognition
The majority of Company’s revenues are derived from providing Ad serving services to advertisers, publishers, and media agencies. The services focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. Ad serving services relate to utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels.
The Company also provides measurement services to brand and agencies, enterprise clients (networks) and publishers. The measurement service provide analysis on and track performance of advertisement campaigns. The measurement service provides insights into the effectiveness of TV and digital advertising.
Creative services relate to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“ASC 606”) and determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable, the Company allocates the contract consideration to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). SSP is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.
Revenues related to ad serving services are recognized when impressions are delivered. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenues related to the measurement services platform are recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenues for these measurement services are recognized over the service period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except stock and per stock data)
Revenues related to creative projects are recognized at a point in time when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables related to providing ad serving, measurement, and creative services, for which the Company’s contracted performance obligations have been satisfied, the amount has been billed and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company typically bills customers monthly based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less.
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Most of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without a cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for measurement platform services. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) we perform under the contract.
Ad serving services were 73.0% and 85.1% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), respectively. Measurement services were 23.0% and 10.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), respectively. Creative services were 3.9% and 4.3% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), respectively.
Costs to obtain a contract
Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. Generally the commissions are commensurate. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. If commissions are not commensurate, the Company capitalizes these commissions. Capitalized commission costs were immaterial for the three month ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited).
Income taxes and tax contingencies
Income taxes are computed using a balance sheet approach reflecting both current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes reflect the tax impact of all of the events included in the financial statements. The basic principles employed in the balance sheet approach are to reflect a current tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, a deferred tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. There are certain situations in which deferred taxes are not provided. Some basis differences are not temporary differences because their reversals are not expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts.
The Company regularly evaluates deferred tax assets for future realization and establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that a portion is not more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, including existing cumulative losses in recent years, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The recoverability of the deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely on estimates.

ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in taxes on income.
On December 20, 2017, Congress passed the “US Tax Act”. The US Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by US tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the US Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced the Act provides that a person who is a US shareholder of any CFC is required to include its GILTI in gross income for the tax year in a manner generally similar to that for Subpart F inclusions. The term “global intangible low-taxed income” is defined as the excess (if any) of the US shareholder’s net CFC tested income for that tax year, over the US shareholder’s net deemed tangible income return for that tax year. The Company’s policy is to treat GILTI as a period expense in the provision for income taxes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption has impacted how the Company assesses its estimates for credit losses, but did not have a material impact on these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. ACQUISITION
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of TVS. TVS is an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV and a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Scotland. The Company acquired all the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of approximately $100,000 in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock at fair value of $3.80 per share, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option of the Company at weighted average fair value of $3.49, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company, through this acquisition, added a real-time, cross-platform service to its offerings, including measurement outcomes such as frequency and unique unduplicated reach and performance metrics. The combination of ad serving, and cross-platform measurement enables the buy- and sell-sides to solve fragmentation by unlocking a complete picture of advertising across the linear TV, CTV and digital video marketplaces.
The acquisition of TVS has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company finalized the purchase accounting for the TVS acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Total value |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 5,318 | |
Accounts receivables | | 4,186 |
Other current assets | | 1,173 |
Property and equipment | | 154 |
Total tangible assets | | 10,831 | |
Technology | | 15,075 |

Trade name | | 2,000 |
Goodwill | | 112,421 |
Total assets acquired | | 157,027 | |
Less: Deferred tax liabilities | | (1,677) | |
Less: Other assumed liabilities | | (3,782) | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 151,568 | |
Intangible assets related to technology, customer relationship and trade name are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 6 years, 11 years, and 4 years, respectively. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach", which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recognized from the acquisition of TVS represents the value of additional growth potential of the revenue base from the creation of a single combined global organization and synergies related to combined IT efforts for enhancement of the existing and acquired technologies. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company entered cash compensation arrangements with certain employees, which amounted to $9,700 in aggregate and are subject to certain performance and employment conditions following the acquisition date. As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), approximately 27% of those employees are no longer with the Company and do not qualify for 2023 compensation under these arrangements.
4. LEASES
Innovid's lease portfolio primarily consists of real estate properties and cars. Short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Innovid does not separate lease components from non-lease components.
The Company is a lessee in all its lease agreements. The Company records lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Innovid generally uses an incremental borrowing rate to discount its lease liabilities, as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable. Certain lease agreements include renewal options that are under the Company's control. Innovid includes optional renewal periods in the lease term only when it is reasonably certain that Innovid will exercise its option.
Variable lease payments are primarily related to payments to lessors for taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating costs. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
The Company has the following operating ROU assets and lease liabilities:

As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the Company had 3,162,500 Public Warrants and 7,060,000 Private Warrants outstanding.
INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except stock and per stock data)
Public Warrants
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Transaction and (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of the Transaction or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Innovid Corp. ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
•in whole and not in part.
•at a price of $0.01 per warrant.
•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
•if, and only if, the closing price of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
When the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise the warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s common shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalization, reorganization, recapitalization and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Innovid Corp. ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
•in whole and not in part.
•at a price of $0.10 per warrant.
•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; if holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares; and
•if, and only if, the closing price of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except stock and per stock data)
If the Company calls these Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below their exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Transaction subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or its permitted transferees.
The Company evaluated the Company Warrants (Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that the warrants do not meet all the conditions to be classified as equity pursuant to ASC 815-40. As the warrants do not meet all the requirements for equity classification, the Company Warrants are recorded as liabilities on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.
The Company Public and Private Placement Warrants’ fair value as of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022 was $1,587 and $4,301, respectively. Gains and losses related to the Company’s Warrants are recognized in “Finance income, net”. See Note 9 for further details.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT
2022 A&R Agreement
On August 4, 2022, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, Innovid LLC and TV Squared Inc, entered an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “2022 A&R Agreement”), to increase the revolving line of credit from $15,000 to $50,000 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The interest for the New Revolving Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate which is the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.75% or (b) 4.25%, on the aggregate outstanding balance. Additional fees include fees in an amount of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility to be paid quarterly in arrears. The Company will also pay non-refundable commitment fees of $40 and $75 at inception and first anniversary date, respectively. The maturity date of the 2022 A&R Agreement is June 30, 2024. The New Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain customary conditions precedent to the credit extension as stated in the 2022 A&R Agreement.
The New Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with all covenants, primarily maintaining an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00. As defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement “adjusted quick ratio” is the ratio of (a) quick assets to (b) current liabilities minus the current portion of deferred revenue. “Quick assets” are determined as the Company’s unrestricted cash plus accounts receivable, net, and is determined according to US GAAP. The Company is also required to maintain the minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA as defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement if the Company does not maintain the quarterly adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.
As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, the Company utilized $20,000 of the $50,000 credit line. In January 2023, the Company repaid $5,000 under the credit line and $5,000 was subsequently drawn in March 2023.
As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the Company is in compliance with all the covenants.
Prior to the 2022 A&R Agreement, the credit installments bore US dollar denominated interest at an annual rate equal to 0.75%-1% plus the prime rate on the outstanding principal of each credit installment.

Legal contingencies
On March 4, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, by Nielsen, LLC against TVS alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10,063,378. On January 18, 2023 the Texas Court granted TVS’s motion to transfer venue to the Southern District of New York. TVS has filed two motions since then: (first) for judgment on the pleadings that the asserted patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. and (second) a motion to stay the proceedings pending the motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both motions have been fully briefed and are awaiting judgment by the Court. Meanwhile the parties are beginning discovery. Discovery is not currently expected to be completed before January 2024. The plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the awards granted to service providers and non-employee consultants, the Company recorded stock compensation expenses in the amount of $442 and $29 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and March 31, 2022 (unaudited), respectively. The majority of these expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the Company capitalized stock-based compensation expense of $365 of internal-use software costs compared to $117 for the same period in 2022.
Stock Options
Stock options may be granted to officers, directors, employees, and non-employee consultants of the Company. Each option granted under the Plan expires no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The options vest usually over four years from commencement of employment or services. Any options, which are forfeited or not exercised before expiration, become available for future grants.
In connection with the TVS acquisition, Innovid issued 949,893 stock options to holders of TVS options for replacement options. These options were fully vested upon issuance due to acceleration upon acquisition and therefore do not require future service for vesting. The Company attributed a total amount of $152 to post acquisition service and recorded it as stock compensation expenses immediately after the acquisition closed. See Note 3, Acquisition for further details.

As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), $32,445 of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted average period of 2.36 years.
NOTE 9: - FINANCE INCOME, NET
The Company recognizes the gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability related to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, as defined in Note 5, Warrants, in “Finance income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unrealized gain from changes in the fair value of the Company Warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and 2022 (unaudited) were $2,714 and $2,787, respectively.
The Company also recognized interest expenses in “Finance income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and 2022 (unaudited) were $362 and $61, respectively.
NOTE 10: - INCOME TAX
The Company recorded a provision for incomes taxes of $2,824 and a net tax benefit of $37 for the three month ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and 2022 (unaudited), respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were negative 48.0% and 0.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the net effect of discrete items decreased the effective tax rate by 6.7%. Excluding these items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been negative 54.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited).
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited), the net effect of discrete items decreased the effective tax rate by 0.2%. Excluding these items, the Company’s effective tax rate would have been 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited).
The increase in tax expense primarily results from a shift in the Company’s foreign earnings, resulting in higher profitability and current tax expense, with no offsetting deferred tax benefit as a result of an overall valuation allowance.
In addition, certain temporary differences associated with the capitalization of R&D under IRC Section 174 that would normally not impact the effective tax rate or overall tax expense, cause the US to generate current state tax expense with no corresponding deferred tax benefit. Unless the US tax rules around research and development (Section 174) are modified, there will continue to be an adverse impact on our effective rates for income taxes paid.
Lastly, the current tax expense is increased as compared to prior years, in both the foreign jurisdictions and the US, because of decreased net operating losses available due to prior year utilization.

Company Overview
We are a leading independent software platform that provides critical technology infrastructure for the creation, delivery, and measurement of TV/video ads across CTV, linear TV, mobile and desktop TV environments. As of March 31, 2023, over 50% of the top 200 advertisers by TV US advertising spend according to Kantar Media are utilizing our platform in their advertisement delivery infrastructure. Innovid’s revenue has grown alongside the growth of CTV advertising. We believe our open platform and purpose-built technology for CTV, combined with our position as a media-independent provider, has allowed us to win a large and growing market share, while the growth of CTV combined with our usage-based revenue model has further contributed to our rapid growth. CTV accounted for 54% and 49% of all video impressions served by Innovid during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, this represented a year-over-year increase of 13% in CTV video impressions served by Innovid. The balance of video impressions served by Innovid during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022 attributable to mobile were 34% and 38%, respectively, and for desktop TV were 12% and 13%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2023, the year-over-year change in video impressions was a decrease of 9% for mobile TV and a decrease of 10% for desktop TV compared to the same period in the prior year. An impression is the metric used to quantify the number of views of an advertisement. Impressions are measured by cost per mille (“CPM”), where mille refers to 1,000 impressions (or cost per thousand). For example, a CTV ad might have a CPM of $25, meaning that the content owner receives $25 every time an ad is displayed 1,000 times within a designated program. Ad servers, such as Innovid, provide a pixel that is implemented within an ad. When an ad with that pixel loads, an impression is counted. Counting impressions is essential to how digital advertising is measured, accounted and paid for. We serve many of the top TV advertisers, including Anheuser-Busch InBev, CVS Pharmacy, Kellogg’s, Mercedes-Benz, Target, Sanofi, and many more, with such clients representing the key verticals we serve.
We believe CTV is a large and growing industry with significant upside potential, but it also has its own set of challenges. Innovid’s solutions are designed to solve three core areas of disruption for large advertisers shifting investment to CTV: the streaming and delivery of creative, personalization of creative, and measurement. Our solutions start with the workflow for personalizing and delivering ads, a process that allows us to receive signals to enable measurement of advertising. In the middle of this workflow loop is a complex ecosystem of providers that Innovid supports through collaboration and integration, but does not compete with. This includes demand side platforms which enable programmatic ad buying.
A key driver of CTV growth has been the evolving preferences of consumers. Consumers are increasingly cutting the cord and streaming TV content over-the-top (“OTT”) through internet-connected devices rather than traditional broadcast, satellite or cable TV. We believe OTT content, which is typically delivered on-demand, seeks to provide a better user experience, and often saves the consumer money over traditional paid TV services. Advertisers seeking to engage these audiences are rapidly shifting dollars away from traditional TV mediums towards increasing budgets for CTV. Advertisers can also benefit from the shift to CTV as the digitally delivered ads can be personalized and measured in real time, similar to other digital advertising mediums such as internet browser-based formats. As a result, TV advertisers have better transparency, control and ultimately potential return on investment from their CTV advertising.
Innovid’s purpose-built CTV infrastructure platform is comprised of three key offerings: Ad Serving Solutions, Creative Personalization Solutions and Measurement Solutions. Our software-based platform provides an open technology infrastructure that tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem including demand side platforms such as The Trade Desk and Amobee, supply side platforms such as Magnite and Verizon Media, publishers such as Hulu and Peacock, and end user devices such as Amazon Fire and Samsung Smart TV. Our offerings encompasses independent global ad serving, data-driven personalization, and new forms of measurement designed to connect all channels in a clean, comparable, and privacy-compliant manner. Although we work closely with the vendors who buy and sell media, our platform only facilitates the creation, delivery and measurement of advertisements and campaigns and we do not make purchasing decisions of advertisement inventory. Because we do not make ad buying or selling decisions we are able to maintain our independence and remain free of potential buying conflicts.
Our target clients comprise the largest global TV advertisers. In addition, we work closely with top advertising agency holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom, Interpublic Group of Cos., and Dentsu. Our clients are diversified across all major industry verticals, including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and healthcare, retail, financial services, automotive, and technology. We believe Innovid’s independence is critical to advertisers seeking an interoperable and open partner that is primarily focused on technology infrastructure.
Innovid serves customers globally, including the US, Germany, UK, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Israel, Singapore, Japan and Australia. In 2023 approximately 9% of Innovid’s revenue was generated by our customers outside of the US.
Our revenue model is based on impressions volume and the cost per impression for our various ad serving services. For our core ad serving platform, we generate revenue from our advertising customers based on the volume of advertising impressions delivered, enabling us to grow as our customers increase their digital ad spend and corresponding ad impressions. We also provide measurement services to brand and agencies, enterprise clients (networks) and publishers. Our measurement services provide analysis on and track performance of advertisement campaigns and in this way provide insights into the effectiveness of TV and digital advertising. The measurement service provides insights into the effectiveness of TV and digital advertising. Revenues related to the measurement services platform are recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenues for these measurement services are recognized over the service period. Additionally, we generate revenue from creative services based on flat fee per projects. As we introduce new products such as advanced measurement and creative capabilities including personalization and interactivity, we expect to be able to charge higher prices per impression volume.
The Transaction
Innovid Corp. was originally incorporated as ION Acquisition Corp. 2 Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company, in Cayman Islands on November 23, 2020, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or business combinations.
On November 30, 2021, ION and Innovid Inc. closed the transaction as further described in this Form 10-Q. Through several mergers and a name change, Innovid Corp. was formed. ION entered into certain subscription agreements in June and October 2021 (“PIPE Investment”). The mergers and PIPE Investment are collectively referred to as “the Transaction”. Innovid Corp. is the public company entity which continues Legacy Innovid’s operating activity.
The Company common stock and warrants commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbols “CTV” and “CTVWS,” respectively, on December 1, 2021.
Business Combination
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of TVS. TVS is an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV and a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Scotland. The Company acquired all the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of 100,000 in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock at fair value of $3.80 per share, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option of the Company at weighted average fair value of $3.49, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
There are a number of factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, our results of operations and growth. These factors include:
Continued market demand. Our performance is dependent on continued global demand across the advertising ecosystem for independent third-party ad serving and measurement of digital ads. Advertisers, programmatic platforms, social media channels and digital publishers are collectively placing increased emphasis on the quality and effectiveness of digital ad spend across all channels, formats and devices.
Our growth is primarily driven by the fastest growing segments of digital ad spend, mostly CTV, and our results depend on our ability to capture continued market growth.
Growth of volume of CTV ad impressions of existing customers. Our results also depend on our ability to retain our existing customers and on our customers’ continued investment in CTV advertising. Customer retention will continue to impact our results as TV investment continues to shift from linear to CTV and the volume of CTV impressions grows.
Upsell of additional services. An additional contributor to our efforts in expanding revenue generated by our customers is our investment in cross-selling our solutions. We cross-sell our personalized creative solutions to primary ad serving customers, who, for example, begin using our services with standard digital video ads and then introduce personalized formats over time. We also have cross-selling efforts related to our advanced measurement solutions, which provide real-time metrics to inform optimization of TV campaigns while in market. The success of these efforts will impact our results of operations.
Global expansion
The majority of our clients are global advertisers and operate at a significant scale. Innovid serves customers globally through a delivery footprint covering the US, the UK, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Israel, Singapore, Japan, and Australia. In 2023, approximately 9% of Innovid’s revenue was generated outside of the US.
We intend to continue to grow our footprint in international markets in order to meet the needs of our global customer base and to accelerate new customer acquisition in key geographies outside of North America. Our results of operations will be impacted by the success of our geographic expansion, and whether the expected ad spend growth in these markets materializes.
New client accounts: We intend to continue targeting new brand, media agency and digital publisher customers who are currently utilizing solutions provided by our competitors or point solutions. Our results of operations will be impacted by our ability to attract new customers.
Seasonality: We experience fluctuations in revenues that coincide with seasonal fluctuations in the digital ad spending of our customers, in particular television ad spending patterns. Advertisers often allocate the largest portion of their media budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. As a result, the fourth quarter of the year typically reflects our highest level of revenues while the first quarter typically reflects our lowest level of revenues. We expect our revenues to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole and for these seasonal fluctuations in ad spend to impact quarter-over-quarter results. We believe that the year-over-year comparison of results more appropriately reflects the overall performance of our business. However, this traditional seasonality may also be impacted by certain external factors or major events that impact traditional television advertising patterns.
Public company costs: We are incurring additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not previously incur, including costs associated with SEC reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as well as other rules implemented by the SEC and the NYSE. Our financial statements reflect the impact of these expenses.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We generate the majority of our revenues from providing Ad serving services to advertisers, media agencies and publishers. We focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. Ad serving services relate to utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels.
We also have an offering, InnovidXP, launched last year which is focused on measurement of the efficiency of CTV advertising and in-flight optimizations for TV marketers. We plan to further develop and scale it in the future.
We provide creative services related to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
We generate the majority of our revenues from the sale and delivery of our products within the US. For information with respect to sales by geographic markets, refer to Note 11, Segment Reporting to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Our chief operating decision maker (our CEO) does not evaluate the profit or loss from any separate geography.
We anticipate that revenues from our US sales will continue to constitute a substantial portion of our revenues in future periods.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs to run our ad serving, creative and measurement services. These costs include hosting fees, personnel costs including stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs, based on headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, professional services costs, hosting and facility related costs. We allocate overhead including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs based on headcount. We expect research and development expenses to increase in future periods to support our growth, including continuing to invest in optimization, accuracy and reliability of our platform and other technology improvements to support and drive efficiency in our operations. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, depending primarily upon when we choose to make more significant investments.
Research and development costs are charged to the condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred. ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”), requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred only during the application development stage.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions, stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs, as well as costs related to advertising, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs and communication costs based on headcount.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal and other administrative functions as well as professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, and communication costs based on headcount.
Prior period reclassification
Beginning in the second quarter of 2022 we present depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses as a separate line item on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. All prior periods, including the first quarter of 2022, have been adjusted. Depreciation and amortization expenses were previously included in cost of sales and other operating expenses depending on the underlying asset’s function. Additionally, we no longer present gross profit as a subtotal on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, all periods presented below have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reclassification of cost of revenue and other operating expenses exclusive of depreciation, amortization and impairment. The period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations have been prepared using the historical periods included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, adjusted for this reclassification. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information on prior period reclassification.

Revenues
The growth and scaling of CTV was the key driver of Innovid’s revenue growth in the first quarter of 2023. As TV ad spend continues to shift from linear to CTV, we continue to benefit from the natural volume growth of CTV impressions we delivered for our existing and new customers.
Total revenue increased by 18% compared to the same period last year, from $25.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $30.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to the full inclusion of the TVS business in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Only one month of TVS activity was included in our operations in the same period in 2022 due to the timing of the acquisition.
There was no meaningful impact of changes in average cost per impression on total revenue.

Cost of revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 39%, from $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by a $1.8 million increase in fees for data costs and a $0.3 million increase in personnel costs due to a higher headcount, both resulting from the TVS acquisition. In addition, there was a $0.3 million increase in share-based compensation mostly due to Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) that were granted to employees.

Research and development expenses decreased by $(0.1) million, or (2)%, from $7.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $7.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million of capitalization of research and development expenses related to our development of new products and our platform enhancements. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in personnel costs following the TVS acquisition to support our platform maintenance work as well as our product research efforts. In addition, there was a $1.1 million increase in share-based compensation mostly due to RSUs that were granted to employees.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 12%, from $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $11.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in personnel costs of $0.5 million following the TVS acquisition to support our long-term growth strategy. In addition, there was a $1.0 million increase in share-based compensation due to increase in headcount and RSUs that were granted to employees.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $(1.8) million, or (16)%, from $11.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $9.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $2.2 million and legal fees of $1.4 million related to the TVS Acquisition. In addition, there was a $0.5 million decrease in Directors and Officers insurance expense during the period. The decrease in these expenses was partially offset by an increase in personnel costs of $1.0 million related to the expansion of our operations following the TVS acquisition and a $1.0 million increase in share-based compensation mostly due to RSUs that were granted to employees. There was also an increase in legal fees of $0.3 million in connection with litigation.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 202%, from $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by additional amortization expense of $0.6 million for TVS intangible assets during the period as well as $0.7 million amortization expense of internal-use software projects.

Finance income increased by $0.2 million, or 7%, from $(2.3) million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $(2.5) million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by changes related to exchange rates.
Taxes on income

Taxes on income | $ | 2,824 | | | 9 | % | | $ | (37) | | | — | % | | $ | 2,861 | | | nm |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Tax expense increased by $2.9 million from $(0.04) million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, to $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rates were -47.97% and 0.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The increase in tax expense primarily results from a shift in the Company’s foreign earnings, resulting in higher profitability and current tax expense, with no offsetting deferred tax benefit as a result of an overall valuation allowance.
In addition, certain temporary differences associated with the capitalization of R&D under IRC Section 174 that would normally not impact the effective tax rate or overall tax expense, cause the US to generate current state tax expense with no corresponding deferred tax benefit. Unless the US tax rules around research and development (Section 174) are modified, there will continue to be an adverse impact on our effective rates for income taxes paid.
Lastly, the current tax expense is increased as compared to prior years, in both the foreign jurisdictions and the US, because of decreased net operating losses available due to prior year utilization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations, business acquisition and capital expenditures primarily through utilization of cash generated from operations and cash proceeds from the Transaction, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $45.4 million and net working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, of $66.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $159.4 million, $76.0 million thereof results from the cumulative accretion of preferred stock to redemption value prior to the conversion of all preferred stock into our common stock upon the closing of the Transaction.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated net cash provided by operating activities, together with available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, if our operating performance during the next 12 months is below our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected. We are closely monitoring the effect that current economic conditions may have on our working capital requirements. To date, the global events have not had a material negative impact on our cash flow or liquidity. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors.
Sources of Liquidity
Revolving Line of Credit
On August 4, 2022, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Innovid LLC and TV Squared Inc, entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “2022 A&R Agreement”), to increase the revolving line of credit from $15.0 million to $50.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The interest for the New Revolving Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate which is the greater of (a) WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.75% or (b) 4.25%, on the aggregate outstanding balance. Additional fees include fees in an amount of 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility to be paid quarterly in arrears. The maturity date of the 2022 A&R Agreement is June 30, 2024. The New Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain customary conditions precedent to the credit extension as stated in the 2022 A&R Agreement.
The New Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with all covenants, primarily maintaining an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00. As defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement “adjusted quick ratio” is the ratio of (a) quick assets to (b) current liabilities minus the current portion of deferred revenue. “Quick assets” are determined as the Company’s unrestricted cash plus accounts receivable, net, and is determined according to US GAAP. The Company is also required to maintain the minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA as defined in the 2022 A&R Agreement if the Company does not maintain the quarterly adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.00.
On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), where the Company maintains an operating account with a cash balance of $32,571 of the Company's total cash, cash equivalents, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and the FDIC was appointed as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Board, and FDIC released a joint statement announcing that the FDIC would complete its resolution of SVB in a manner that fully protected all depositors at SVB and that depositors would have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023. On March 27, 2023 First Citizens BancShares, Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to purchase all of the assets and liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. As a result of these actions the Company does not believe that it has exposure to loss as a result of SVB’s receivership.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company utilized $20.0 million of the $50.0 million credit line. In January 2023, the Company repaid $5.0 million under the credit line and $5.0 million was subsequently drawn in March 2023.
Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 were $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. They were recorded in the “Finance income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Cash Flows
Three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended March 31, |
| 2023 | | 2022 |
Net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities | $ | 368 | | | $ | (7,213) | |
Net cash provided by / (used in) investing activities | 6,827 | | | (101,333) | |
Net cash provided by / (used in) financing activities | 250 | | | (2,718) | |
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 7,445 | | | $ | (111,264) | |
Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers and payments to our vendors, as well as increases in personnel related expenses as we scale up our business. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to vendors and providers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. In addition, we expect seasonality to impact quarterly cash flows from operating activities.
Cash provided by/(used in) operating activities is calculated by adjusting our net loss for changes in working capital, as well as by excluding non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and change in fair value of warrants.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.4 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation in 2022 as a result of RSUs granted at that time, and amortization of intangible assets related to TVS acquisition.
The changes in our working capital compared to the prior period in the amount of $4.2 million were a result of a decrease in trade receivables due to a shorter collection period. This decrease was partially off-set by an increase in prepaid expenses due to the timing of payments for our some of our subscriptions. The changes in working capital were also related to an increase in accrued expense, other current liabilities and trade payables due to accrual and the timing of payments for personnel costs, prepaid software subscription fees and changes due to the acquisition of TVS.
Investing Activities
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, $6.8 million of net cash was provided by investing activities compared to net cash used in investing activities of $101.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by net cash consideration paid to acquire TVS of $99.6 million in 2022, net of cash acquired. Further, the decrease of $10.0 million in short-term deposit, which was terminated in March, 2023, increased cash provided by investing activity. This impact was offset by an increase of $1.4 million of investment in internal software development work.
Financing Activities
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, $0.3 million of net cash was provided in financing activities compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. This increase in cash provided was primarily due to a decrease in the amount of transaction costs of $3.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash received from stock option exercises of $0.2 million.
Contractual Obligations and Known Future Cash Requirements
Lease Commitments
We rent our facilities and certain motor vehicles under operating lease agreements that expire on various dates, the latest of which is in 2025 excluding any options for renewal. The minimum rental payments under operating leases for rental of premises as of December 31, 2022 for the next five years totaled $3.9 million, which is comprised of $2.2 million and $1.7 million in the next 12 months and more than 12 months, respectively. Other operating leases are immaterial.
Pledges and Bank Guarantees
In connection with the first loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, we pledged 65,000 shares of common stock of our Israeli subsidiary, NIS 0.01 par value each.
We have a total of $0.8 million of pledged bank deposits as of March 31, 2023, related to office leases and credit cards. We obtained bank guarantees in an aggregate amount of $0.2 million in connection with our office lease agreements in the US as of March 31, 2023.
Legal contingencies
On March 4, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, by Nielsen, LLC against TVS alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10,063,378. On January 18, 2023 the Texas Court granted TVS’s motion to transfer venue to the Southern District of New York. TVS has filed two motions since then: (first) for judgment on the pleadings that the asserted patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. and (second) a motion to stay the proceedings pending the motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both motions have been fully briefed and are awaiting judgment by the Court. Meanwhile the parties are beginning discovery. Discovery is not currently expected to be completed before January 2024. The plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation.
Cash compensation arrangements
In addition to the purchase consideration for the acquisition of TVS, we entered cash compensation arrangements with certain employees, which amounted to $9.7 million in aggregate and are subject to certain performance and employment conditions following the closing of the Acquisition. As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), approximately 27% of those employees are no longer with the Company and do not qualify for 2023 compensation under these arrangements.
Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results determined in accordance with US GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful in evaluating our business. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a) Finance income, net consists mostly of remeasurement related to revaluation of our warrants, remeasurement of our foreign subsidiary’s monetary
assets, liabilities and operating results, and our interest expense.
(b) Transaction related expenses consist of cost related to the SPAC merger transaction.
(c) Acquisition related expenses consists of professional fees associated with the acquisition of TVS.
(d) Retention bonus expenses consists of retention bonuses for TVS employees.
(e) Severance cost in 2023 is related to the personnel reductions that occurred during the first quarter of 2023. In 2022, severance cost related to exit costs
for TVS employees.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our core business. Additionally, these figures provide an understanding and evaluation of our trends when comparing our operating results, on a consistent basis, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:
•they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•they do not reflect costs of acquiring and integrating businesses, which will continue to be a part of our growth strategy;
•they do not reflect one-time, non-recurring, bonus costs and third party costs associated with the SPAC merger transaction and regulatory filings;
•they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;
•they do not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; and
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
Operational Metrics
In addition, Innovid’s management considers number of core clients, annual core clients retention and annual core clients net revenue retention in evaluating the performance of the business. These metrics are reported annually. Prior to our acquisition of TVS in 2022, our definition of a core client included only advertisers that generated at least $100,000 revenue in a twelfth-months period. Following our acquisition of TVS, we have included publishers as core clients.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, we believe the following accounting policies to be the most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of Company’s revenues is derived from providing Ad serving services to advertisers, publishers, and media agencies. The services focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. Ad serving services relate to
utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels.
The Company also provides measurement services to brand and agencies, enterprise clients (networks) and publishers. The measurement service provide analysis on and track performance of advertisement campaigns. The measurement service provides insights into the effectiveness of TV and digital advertising.
Creative services relate to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units.
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“ASC 606”) and determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable, the Company allocates the contract consideration to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). SSP is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.
Revenues related to ad serving services are recognized when impressions are delivered. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenues related to the measurement services platform are recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenues for these measurement services are recognized over the service period.
Revenues related to creative projects are recognized at a point in time when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
The Company’s accounts receivable, consist primarily of receivables related to providing ad serving, measurement and creative services, for which the Company’s contracted performance obligations have been satisfied, the amount has been billed and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company typically bills customers monthly based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less.
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Most of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without a cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for measurement platform services. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) we perform under the contract.
Costs to obtain a contract
Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. Most commissions are commensurate. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. If commissions are not commensurate, the Company capitalizes these commissions. The term of amortization of capitalized commissions is three years.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “Financial income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies a fair value framework to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, net, trade payables, employees and payroll accruals, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and current portion of long term debts. Their historical carrying amounts are approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company measures its investments in money market funds classified as cash equivalents and warrants liability at fair value.
The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2023 and continue to be valued based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the Private Warrants’liability is recognized in finance income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If there are indications of an impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited), the Company tested its asset groups for recoverability and concluded that no impairment should be recognized.
Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combination” (“ASC 805”) and allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements resulting from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test.
Reporting units are evaluated when changes in the Company’s operating structure occur, and if necessary, goodwill would be reassigned using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company currently has one reporting unit.
ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed. The Company operates as one reporting unit. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company performed an impairment test for goodwill for its reporting unit using a quantitative testing approach. Based on the evaluation performed, the Company determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, and therefore, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired.
Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Customer relationships, acquired technology and trade name are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 11 years, 6 years, and 4 years, respectively, using straight-line amortization method.
The amortization of customer relationships, acquired technology and trade name is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalized software development costs
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and personnel-related employee benefits for employees directly associated with the software development and external costs of the materials or services consumed in developing or obtaining the software. Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized. Once this software is ready for use in providing the Company's services, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three years. The amortization is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes and tax contingencies
Income taxes are computed using a balance sheet approach reflecting both current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes reflect the tax impact of all of the events included in the financial statements. The basic principles employed in the balance sheet approach are to reflect a current tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, a deferred tax liability or asset that is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. There are certain situations in which deferred taxes are not provided. Some basis differences are not temporary differences because their reversals are not expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts.
The Company regularly evaluates deferred tax assets for future realization and establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that a portion is not more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, including existing cumulative losses in recent years, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods, and other relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The recoverability of the deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income rely on estimates.
ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in taxes on income.
On December 20, 2017, Congress passed the “US Tax Act”. The US Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by US tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the US Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced the Act provides that a person who is a US shareholder of any CFC is required to include its GILTI in gross income for the tax year in a manner generally similar to that for Subpart F inclusions. The term “global intangible low-taxed income” is defined as the excess (if any) of the US shareholder’s net CFC tested income for that tax year, over the US shareholder’s net deemed tangible income return for that tax year. The Company’s policy is to treat GILTI as a period expense in the provision for income taxes.

As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are not required to provide this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as of March 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently party to any legal proceedings or aware of any claims which we believe would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows, or capital levels. We may from time to time be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business.
On March 4, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas by Nielsen, LLC against TVS alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10,063,378. On January 18, 2023 the Texas Court granted TVS’s motion to transfer venue to the Southern District of New York. TVS has filed two motions since then: (first) for judgment on the pleadings that the asserted patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. and (second) a motion to stay the proceedings pending the motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both motions have been fully briefed and are awaiting judgment by the Court. Meanwhile the parties are beginning discovery. Discovery is not currently expected to be completed before January 2024. The plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Failure of banks or other financial institutions could adversely affect our cash, cash equivalents and investments and our business and financial condition may suffer as a result
Beginning in March 2023, concerns arose with respect to the financial condition of a number of banking organizations in the United States and elsewhere. We maintain our cash at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed the current FDIC insurance limits, or the local equivalent. If banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future due to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments, including transferring funds, making payments or receiving funds, may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
