DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

MCAP Acquisition CorporationAdTheorent Holding Company Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “AdTheorent”), is a blank check company incorporated in Delawaredigital media platform which focuses on November 12, 2020.performance-first, privacy-forward methods to execute programmatic digital advertising campaigns, serving both advertising agency and brand customers. The Company was formeduses machine learning and advanced data science to organize, analyze and operationalize non-sensitive data to deliver real-world value for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with 1 or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stagecustomers. Central to its ad-targeting and emerging growth company and, as such,campaign optimization methods, the Company is subjectbuilds custom machine learning models for each campaign using historic and real-time data to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activitypredict future consumer conversion actions for the period November 12, 2020 (inception) through February 25, 2021 relates to theevery digital ad impression. The Company’s formationmachine learning models are customized for every campaign and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”). The Company has selected December 31platform “learns” over the course of each campaign as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 25, 2021. On March 2, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 31,625,000 units (“Units” and, with respectit processes more data related to the shares of Class A common stock includedpost media view conversion experience. AdTheorent is a Delaware corporation headquartered in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $316,250,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,983,333 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per warrant in a private placement to MCAP Acquisition, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $8,975,000, which is described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 2, 2021, an amount of $316,250,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

Transaction costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $17,853,629 consisting of $6,325,000 of underwriting fees, $11,068,750 of deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) and $459,879 of other costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering $2,431,242 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account available for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2021, we have available to us $1,467,916 of cash on our balance sheet and a working capital surplus of $1,760,628.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company will have until March 2, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below) or the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the 24-month time period.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. Accordingly, management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists to sustain operations through March 31, 2022 and therefore substantial doubt has been alleviated.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements have beenCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuantinclude the operations of the Company.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which include a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company's significant accounting policies. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as detailed below.

Accounts Receivable and disclosure rulesAllowance for Credit Losses (formerly Allowance for Doubtful Accounts)

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are unsecured, and regulationsdo not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is based on the best estimate of the U.S. Securitiesamount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on historical collection experience, the review in each period of the status of the then outstanding accounts receivable, while taking into consideration current customer information, and Exchange Commission.other macroeconomic and industry factors. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Emerging Growth Company

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements, or Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Further, Section 102(b)(1)107 of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accountingthose standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, whichThis means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or privateand nonpublic companies, the Company as an emerging growth company, canhas the option to adopt the new or revised standard at the time privatenonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparisonstandard and can do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neithersuch extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company whichcompany.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in the customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the reported amountsperformance obligations in the customer arrangement are satisfied. The transaction price of revenuesa contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and expenses duringrecognized as revenue when or as the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thatcustomer receives the estimatebenefit of the effect ofperformance obligation.

The Company’s revenue streams include Managed Programmatic revenue and Direct Access revenue. The Direct Access offerings are new to the market and not yet material to the Company from a condition, situationfinancial reporting perspective.

For its Managed Programmatic revenue, the Company negotiates insertion orders (“IOs”) with the advertising agency or set of circumstances that existed atbrand, which specifies the datematerial terms of the financial statements, which management consideredcampaign.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subjectsenior secured credit facilities credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The Senior Secured Agreement allows for the Company to concentrationborrow up to $40,000 in a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), including a $10,000 sub-limit for letters of credit risk consistand a swing line sub-limit of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed$10,000. The Revolving Credit Facility commitment termination date is December 22, 2026.

On March 10, 2023, SVB was seized by regulators and placed under the receivership of the Federal DepositoryDeposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, if any, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock shares outstanding. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock shares, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock shares outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable Class A and Class B common stock shares includes the Founder Shares and non-redeemable common stock shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

Note 7 – Warrant Liability (Continued)

The Company believes that the adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 40, and thusRestricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) equals the warrants are not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company will classify each warrant as a liability at its fairmarket value and the warrants will be allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such remeasurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Companys statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

Pursuant to the ESPP, on January 1, 2023, the Company added 869,863 shares available for issuance. As of September 30, 2023, there were 2,552,353 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the ESPP.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The volatility utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s Private Placement Warrant liability as of September 30, 2023, was based on a weighted average of the implied volatility, the guideline public company volatility, and the Company’s historical volatility. The implied volatility was calculated from the public warrants and using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The guideline public company volatility was estimated based on historical lookback volatility of guideline public companies over a term commensurate with the expected term of the warrant, as well as consideration to implied volatilities sourced from Bloomberg, L.P. The Company’s historical volatility was estimated based on the historical lookback of AdTheorent’s volatility over the time since the Company was publicly traded.

The volatility utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s Private Placement Warrant liability as of December 31, 2021:2022, was based on a weighted average of the implied volatility and guideline public company volatility. The implied volatility was estimated by calibrating to the market price of the public warrants as of December 31, 2022, using a binomial lattice model. The guideline public company volatility was estimated based on historical lookback volatility of guideline public companies over a term commensurate with the expected term of the warrant, as well as consideration to implied volatilities sourced from Bloomberg, L.P.

Key assumptions are as follows:

On March 31, 2021,Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments, the terms of which were consistent with the expected term of the Private Placement Warrants.

Dividend yield - The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid and does not intend to pay dividends.

Expected term – The forecast period represents the time until expiration of the Private Placement Warrants.

Expected Volatility - The expected volatility assumption was determined by examining the Company’s historical volatility, the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, and the implied volatility from the market price of the Public Warrants.

Warrant liability

On September 30, 2023, the fair values of the Public Warrants and PublicPrivate Placement Warrants outstanding were determined to be $1.40$0.04 and $1.36$0.08 per warrant, for aggregate values of $8,376,666respectively. On December 31, 2022, the Public Warrants and $14,336,666,Private Placement Warrants outstanding were determined to be $0.10 and $0.23 per warrant, respectively.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

SYMETRYML AND SYMETRYML HOLDINGS

SymetryML Holdings, LLC (“SymetryML Holdings”) was a subsidiary of Legacy AdTheorent after a contribution of Legacy AdTheorent’s SymetryML department in exchange for membership interest. Class B interests in SymetryML Holdings that vest over time, comprising 50% of the Public Warrants,total equity interests of SymetryML Holdings, were offered to certain employees (a non-controlling interest) of SymetryML. Legacy AdTheorent retained the “Warrants”) issuedremaining 50% total equity interests, through the holding of all Class A equity interests in connection with its Initial Public OfferingSymetryML Holdings.

SymetryML Holdings and SymetryML was ultimately deconsolidated as components of equity insteadMarch 31, 2022 through a series seed preferred financing transaction (“Deconsolidation”), resulting in a gain of as derivative liabilities. The Warrant Agreement governing the Warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes$1,939, of which $541 related to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristicsremeasurement of the holderretained noncontrolling investment to fair value. The gain of $1,939 was recorded within Other Income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

VIE Determination

Based on the Warrant Agreement includesCompany’s assessment, after the Deconsolidation, SymetryML is considered a provisionvariable interest entity (“VIE”) because it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. SymetryML Holdings is not the primary beneficiary as it no longer has the power to direct the activities that inmost significantly impact SymetryML’s economic performance.

Based on the event ofCompany’s assessment, SymetryML Holdings, after the Deconsolidation, is considered a tender offer or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% ofVIE because the outstanding shares of a single class of stock, all holders of the Warrants would be entitledequity investment at risk, as a group, lack the power to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

On April 12, 2021,direct the Acting Directoractivities of SymetryML Holdings that most significantly impact its economic performance. This is due to the Divisionconclusion that Class B equity interests do not meet the definition of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant ofequity at risk because the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrantsClass B interests were issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on AccountingLegacy AdTheorent to SymetryML management as founders’ equity to compensate for past and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions relatedfuture services to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement, dated as of February 25, 2021, between theSymetryML. The Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10 – Restatement of Previously Issued Balance Sheet (Continued)

In further consideration of the SEC Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrumentCompany is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation,primary beneficiary as it no longer has the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concludedpower to direct the activities that the tender offer provision fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.most significantly impact SymetryML economic performance.

As a result of the above,Deconsolidation of SymetryML and SymetryML Holdings, the Company should have classified the Warrants as derivative liabilitieshas retained a noncontrolling investment in its previously issued financial statement. Under this accounting treatment,SymetryML Holdings that provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence over both VIEs. The entities continue to be considered related parties of the Company following the Deconsolidation.

Retained Fair Value Option Investments in SymetryML and SymetryML Holdings

For its retained noncontrolling investment in SymetryML Holdings, the Company has made an irrevocable election to account for its investment at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company elected to apply fair value accounting to the retained investment in SymetryML Holdings because the Company believes that fair value is the most relevant measurement attribute for these investments, as well as to reduce operational and accounting complexity. The Company’s election to apply fair value accounting to these investments may cause fluctuations in the Company’s earnings from period to period. The fair value of the Company’s retained investment was $636 and $789 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The fair value measurements involve significant unobservable inputs, which include total equity value of SymetryML, volatility, risk-free rate, equity holder required rate of return, and discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”). The total equity value of SymetryML was calculated using the Backsolve Method under the Market Approach. The volatility was based on guideline public companies and adjusted for differences in size and leverage. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury securities with a term commensurate with the time to measureexit. The equity holder required rate of return was based on private equity and venture capital rate of return studies. The DLOM was estimated based on put option models and series volatility.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is limited to the carrying amount of its investment which is recorded at fair value each reporting period as described above. There are not any explicit or implicit contracts, guarantees, or commitments that would require the Company to provide financial support to the investees or any other arrangements that could expose the Company to losses beyond the fair value of its current investment.

Item 2.2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance and may include statements concerning, among other things, our business strategy (including anticipated trends and developments in, and management plans for, our business and the markets in which we operate), financial results, operations, and the markets and communities in which we, our clients, and partners operate, results of operations, revenues, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, sales and marketing initiatives and competition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “suggests,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; they reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from expectations or results projected or implied by forward-looking statements.

We discuss many of these risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 in greater detail under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in other filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are inherently subject to change and involve risks and uncertainties. Unless required by federal securities laws, we assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated, to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statements are made. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Investors should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

References to “Notes” are notes included in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “AdTheorent,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to AdTheorent Holding Company, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

We have integrations with Digital Ad Exchanges, or Supply Side Platforms (“SSPs”), from which we are sent ad impression opportunities for evaluation and purchase. We predictively score all ad impression opportunities for the purpose of deciding which ad impressions will likely drive valuable conversions or engagement activity for our customers. Our predictive platform scores up to one million digital ad impressions per second and 75 billion to 85 billion digital ad impressions per day, assigning a “predictive score” to each. Each predictive score is determined by correlating non-individualized data attributes associated with the particular impression with data corresponding to previously purchased impressions that yielded consumer conversion or engagement activity. Such non-individualized attributes include variables such as publisher, content and URL keywords, device make, device operating system and other device attributes, ad position, geographic data, weather, demographic signals, creative type and size, etc. The “predictive scores” generated by our platform allow us and our advertising clients to determine which ad impressions are more likely or less likely to result in client-desired key performance

indicators. Our machine learning models are customized for every campaign and our platform “learns” over the course of each campaign as it processes more data related to post media view conversion experience. Based on these statistical probabilities or “predictive scores,” our platform automatically determines bidding optimizations to drive conversions and advertiser return on investment (“ROI”) or return on advertising spend (“ROAS”), delivering on less than 0.001 of the evaluated advertising requests. Our use of machine learning and data science helps us to maximize efficiency and performance, enabling our customers to avoid wasted ad spend related to suboptimal impressions such as impressions that are predicted to be at a greater risk for fraud/invalid traffic or impressions with a higher likelihood of being unviewable, unmeasurable, or not brand safe, among other factors.

Our capabilities extend across the digital ecosystem to identify and engage digital impressions with the highest likelihood of completing customer-desired actions, including online sales, other online actions, and real-world actions such as physical location visitation, in-store sales or vertical specific KPI's such as prescription fills/lift, or submitted credit card applications. Our custom and highly impactful campaign executions encompass popular digital screens — mobile, desktop, tablet, connected TV (“CTV”), Digital Out of Home (“DOOH”) — and all digital ad formats, including display, rich media, video, native and streaming audio. We actively manage our digital supply to provide advertisers with scale and reach, while minimizing redundant inventory, waste and other inefficiencies. Our CTV capability delivers scale and reach supplemented by innovative and industry recognized machine-learning optimizations towards real-world actions and value-added measurement services.

Our platform and machine learning-based targeting provide privacy advantages that are lacking from alternatives which rely on individual user profiles or cookies employing a “one-to-one” approach to digital ad targeting. Our core targeting approach is statistical, not individualized, and as a result we do not need to compile or maintain user profiles, and we do not rely on cookies or user profiles for targeting. Our solution-set is especially valuable to regulated customers, such as financial institutions and pharmaceutical or health companies, and other privacy-forward advertisers who desire efficient and effective digital ad-targeting without individualized or personal targeting data. We adhere to data usage protocols and model governance processes which help to ensure that each customer’s data is safeguarded and used only for that customer’s benefit, and we take a consultative and collaborative approach to data use best practices with all of our customers.

Supplementing our core machine learning-powered platform capabilities, we offer customized vertical solutions to address the needs of advertisers in specialized industries. These specialized solutions feature vertical-specific capabilities related to targeting, measurement and audience validation. Our broader health offering, which encompasses engagements with customers in the verticals and sub-verticals of healthcare, pharmaceutical, pharmacy, over-the-counter brands, and health-related government (collectively, “AdTheorent Health”), harnesses the power of machine learning to drive superior performance on campaigns targeting both healthcare providers and patients, leveraging Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) compliant methods and targeting practices that comply with Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Code of Conduct and other self-regulatory standards. In the third quarter of 2022, we launched our Health Audience Builder (“HABi”) and Health Audiences, a new-to-market solution which allows programmatic advertisers to use aggregated health data to research and target “audiences” in a more precise, data-driven and less opaque manner than what is currently available across the industry. This solution leverages primary-sourced health data and machine learning to create statistical representations of audiences, but notably is not ID-based and does not include Personal Health Information. These features allow platform users to leverage HABi to build Health Audiences with the goal of achieving health advertisers' key performance indicators, while being privacy forward and HIPAA-compliant by design. In addition, as part of our strategy to establish a scalable foundation for the deployment of innovative verticalized solutions, we launched AdTheorent’s Predictive Audience Builder (“ABi”), a platform tool that allows advertisers to build customizable, machine learning-based predictive audiences for other key verticals. We have also created offerings tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities in a growing range of other verticals.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Growth of the Programmatic Advertising Market

Our operating results and prospects will be impacted by the overall continued adoption of programmatic advertising by inventory owners and content providers, as well as advertisers and the agencies that represent them. Programmatic advertising has grown rapidly in recent years; however, recent negative macro-economic sentiment has impacted advertiser spending. Any acceleration, or slowing, of programmatic advertising growth, due to macro-economic factors or otherwise, would affect our operating and financial performance. In addition, even if the programmatic advertising market continues to grow at its current rate, our ability to successfully position ourselves within the market will impact the future growth of the business.

24


Investment in Platform and Solutions to Provide Continued Differentiation in Evolving Market

We believe that the capabilities and differentiation of our platform and solutions has been critical to our historical growth. Continued innovation in an evolving programmatic marketplace will be an important driver of our future growth. We anticipate that operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we invest in platform operations and technology, data science and machine learning capabilities, and data infrastructure and tools to enhance our custom solutions and value-added offerings. We believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth, although they may have a negative impact on profitability in the near-term.

Growth in and Retention of Customer Spend

We plan to make incremental investments in sales and marketing to acquire new customers and increase existing customers’ usage of our platform and solutions. We believe that there is significant room for growth within our existing customers, which include many large global brands and advertising agencies. Future revenue and profitability growth depends upon our ability to cost effectively on-board new customers and our on-going ability to retain and scale existing customers.

Our growth has and may continue to be impacted by macroeconomic factors beyond our control such as inflation, rising interest rates, pandemic related factors, global geopolitical uncertainties, among other things, as well as possible year-over-year declines in our acquisition of new customers.

Ability to Continue to Access High Performing Media Inventory in Existing and Emerging Channels

Our ability to deliver upon clients’ targeted key performance indicators is reliant upon our ability to access high quality media inventory across multiple advertising channels at scale. Our future growth will depend on our ability to maintain and grow spend on existing and emerging channels, including advertising on display, rich media, native, video and audio ad formats across mobile, desktop, and CTV formats.

Development of International Markets

Although almost all of our historic revenue is attributable to campaigns and operations in the United States and Canada, we plan to continue to explore opportunities to serve new international markets, including serving the global needs of existing customers. We believe that the global opportunity for programmatic advertising is significant and should continue to expand as publishers and advertisers outside the United States and Canada increasingly seek to adopt the benefits that programmatic advertising provides. We believe that our privacy-forward approach to ad targeting and data usage will provide desired differentiation and value in highly and increasingly regulated markets such as the European Union, which is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation. Our ability to efficiently expand into new markets will affect our operating results.

Managing Seasonality

The global advertising industry experiences seasonal trends that affect the vast majority of participants in the digital advertising ecosystem. Most notably, advertisers have historically spent relatively more in the fourth quarter of the calendar year to coincide with the holiday shopping season, and relatively less in the first quarter. In addition to the impact on revenue, increased fourth quarter demand for advertising inventory applies additional upward pressure on fourth quarter media costs, which adversely impacts profitability. We expect seasonality trends to continue, and our ability to manage resources in anticipation of these trends could affect operating results.

Key Business Metric

To analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts and help develop long-term strategic plans, we review the following key business metric:

Active Customers

We track active customers, which are defined as our customers who spent over $5,000 during the previous twelve months. We monitor active customers to help understand our revenue performance. Additionally, monitoring active customers helps us understand the nature and extent to which the active customer base is growing, which assists management in establishing operational goals.

25


The number of active customers as of September 30, 2023 was 342 and as of September 30, 2022 was 339, increasing by 3 customers, or 1%, respectively, year over year. The number of active customers as of December 31, 2022 was 347.

Total revenue increased $3.3 million, or 8.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The largest drivers of the increase were in the healthcare/pharmaceutical, government/education/nonprofit, and consumer packaged goods (“CPG”), which collectively increased by $5.4 million, or 30.6%. The increase is primarily due to increased adoption of our AdTheorent Health offering, as well as our Health Audience solution launched in the third quarter of 2022. Offsetting these increases were decreases in the banking, financial services and insurance (“BSFI”), home improvement, and services verticals which collectively decreased approximately $2.2 million, or 27.8% impacted by negative macroeconomic conditions driven by higher interest rates.

Total revenue decreased $3.2 million or 2.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The largest drivers of the decrease were in the BFSI, retail, software/websites, and home improvement verticals, which collectively decreased by $11.3 million, or 27.0%. The BFSI and home improvement verticals were impacted by negative macroeconomic conditions driven by higher interest rates. Offsetting these decreases were increases in the healthcare/pharmaceutical, travel, CPG, and alcohol/tobacco verticals, which collectively increased approximately $8.0 million, or 17.3%. The increase is primarily due to increased adoption of our AdTheorent Health offering, as well as our Health Audience solution launched in the third quarter of 2022.

Overview

The Company is a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2020Interest income, net was $1.8 million for the purposenine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to interest expense, net of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company intends to effectuate its initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial Business Combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial Business Combination to the owners of the target or other investors:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one -to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

21

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and
other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare$0.1 million for the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expectnine months ended September 30, 2022. The net change was primarily due to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We expect to generate non-operating incomean increase in the form of interest income earned of $1.6 million related to more favorable interest rates on cash and marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a resultmoney market investments.

Provision for income taxes increased $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Provision for income taxes was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a benefit of income taxes of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The AETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was more than the statutory rate of 21% primarily state and local income taxes, meals and entertainment, and executive equity-based compensation not deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, we did not include any fair value adjustments not reasonably estimable for the full-year in the calculation of our AETR, such as the Seller's Earn-out and warrant liabilities as we cannot project the full-year impact of these specific items.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We calculate and monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures to help set budgets, establish operational goals, analyze financial results and performance, and make strategic decisions. We also believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our results of operations over multiple periods. However, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance, and should not be considered in isolation from, or a substitute for, comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The information in the table below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures that we monitor. Because of the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, “Adjusted Gross Profit,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Gross Profit” should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP profitability measure. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure of campaign profitability, monitored by management and the Board, used to evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short- and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We believe this measure provides a useful period to period comparison of campaign profitability and is useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measurement, which is calculated as revenue less platform operations costs. In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, we add back other platform operations costs, which consist of amortization expense related to capitalized software, depreciation expense, allocated costs of personnel which set up and monitor campaign performance, and platform hosting, license, and maintenance costs, to gross profit.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net (loss) income, before interest (income) expense, net; depreciation, amortization; and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs related to the Business Combination, non-core operations, and other non-recurring items.

Collectively these non-GAAP financial measures are key profitability measures used by our management and Board to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-and long-term operational plans, measure performance goals in employee equity incentive awards, and make strategic decisions regarding the Sponsorallocation of capital. We believe that these measures can provide useful period-to-period comparisons of campaign profitability. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.

Prior to March 31, 2022, we had effectuated a contribution of our SymetryML department into a new subsidiary, SymetryML, Inc. We periodically raised capital to fund SymetryML operations by entering into Simple Agreement for Future Equity Notes (“SAFE Notes”) with several parties. We viewed SymetryML operations as non-core, and did not fund future operational expenses incurred in excess of SAFE Notes funding secured. Beginning March 31, 2022, we no longer consolidate SymetryML. Refer to Note 16 — SymetryML and SymetryML Holdings of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, for more information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating activities, including salaries and wages paid to our employees, development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and others. As of September 30, 2023, we had $74.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

As of September 30, 2023, our working capital was $104.1 million. All amounts previously drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, were re-paid in January 2022 and we do not anticipate a need to borrow on this facility in the immediate future. We believe we have sufficient sources of liquidity, including cash generated from operations as well as the capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility, to support our operating needs, capital requirements, and debt service requirements for the next twelve months.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Our purchase commitments per our standard terms and conditions with our suppliers and vendors are cancellable in whole or in part with or without cause prior to delivery. If we terminate an order, we will have no liability beyond payment of any balances owing for goods or services delivered previously.

Silicon Valley Bank Revolver

On December 22, 2021, we entered into a Senior Secured Agreement with SVB which allows us to borrow up to $40.0 million in a Revolving Credit Facility, including a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $10.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility commitment termination date is December 22, 2026. We accounted for the Senior Secured Agreement as a debt modification.

In accordance with the Senior Secured Agreement there are two types of revolving loan, either a Secured Overnight Financing Rate Loan (“SOFR Loan”) loan or an affiliateABR Alternate Base Rate Loan (“ABR Loan”). The revolving loans may from time to time be SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Company. Interest shall be payable quarterly based on the type of loan.

a)
Each SOFR Loan bears interest for each day at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR, as defined in the Senior Secured Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Senior Secured Agreement. The Applicable Margin can vary between 2.00% and 2.50% based on the leverage ratio of the Sponsor or certainCompany.
b)
Each ABR Loan (including any swingline loan) bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the highest of the Company’s officersPrime Rate in effect on such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, and directors may,the Adjusted Term SOFR, as defined in the Senior Secured Agreement, for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00% (“ABR”); plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Senior Secured Agreement. The Applicable Margin can vary between 1.00% and 1.50% based on the leverage ratio of the Company.

In addition, the Senior Secured Agreement has a commitment fee in relation to the non-use of available funds ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum based on the leverage ratio of the Company.

All obligations under the Senior Secured Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company.

We are subject to customary representations, warranties, and covenants. The Senior Secured Agreement requires that we meet certain financial and non-financial covenants which include, but are not obligatedlimited to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical(i) delivering audited consolidated financial statements to the private placement warrants issued tolender within 90 days after year-end commencing with the Sponsor. The termsfiscal year ending December 31, 2022 financial statements, (ii) delivering unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements within 45 days after each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarterly period ending on March 31, 2022 and (iii) maintaining certain leverage ratios and liquidity coverage ratios. As of such loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements existSeptember 30, 2023, we were in full compliance with respect to such loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or its directors or officers or their respective affiliates as it does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. Commencing on the date of the prospectus and until completion of the Company’s Business Combination or liquidation, the Company may reimburse an affiliate of the Sponsor up to an amount of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support.

The Underwriter was paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds of the Public Offering, or $6,325,000. In addition, the Underwriter is entitled to aggregate deferred underwriting commissions of $11,068,750 consisting of (i) 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering. The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the Underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.Senior Secured Agreement.

As of September 30, 2023, we had one letter of credit for approximately $1.0 million and no amounts were drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Cash Flows

The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to suppliers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

We are generally contractually required to pay suppliers of advertising inventory and data within a negotiated period of time, regardless of whether our customers pay on time, or at all. While we attempt to negotiate long payment periods with our suppliers and shorter periods from our customers, it is not always successful. As a result, our accounts payable are often due on shorter cycles than our accounts receivables, requiring us to remit payments from our own funds, and accept the risk of bad debt. Our standard payment terms range from 30 to 60 days.

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, are unsecured, and do not bear interest and we record an allowance for credit losses is based on the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. Our standard payment terms for our customers range from 30 to 60 days. For the periods presented, the timing of our collections have exceeded the standard payment terms of customers, because like many companies in our industry, we often experience slow payment by advertising agencies, such that advertising agencies typically collect payment from their customers before remitting payment to us. We evaluate the creditworthiness of customers on a regular basis.

We expect to continue generating strong positive cash flows as we scale our operations.

Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates

The preparationOur Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’sour management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affectimpact the reported amountsamount of revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atliabilities. We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the dateestimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have not identified any critical accounting estimates other than estimates and assumptions related to the input values in the valuation models used in the valuation of our Private Placement Warrants, classified as a Level 2 liability and the Seller’s Earn-out liability, classified as a Level 3 liability. Critical accounting estimates are specifically related to expected stock-price volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate.

For the Private Placement Warrants, a BSM was used to determine the fair value, respectively. The expected volatility assumption was determined using a weighted average of the financial statements,Company’s historical volatility, the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differimplied volatility from those estimates.the market price of the Public Warrants. The Company has identifiedrisk-free rate assumption is based on the following as its critical accounting policies:

Net Loss Per ShareU.S. Treasury instruments, the terms of Common Stock

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Consistent with FASB 480, shares subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earningswhich were consistent with the two-class method, have been excludedexpected term of the Private Placement Warrants. The expected term represents the time until expiration of the Private Placement Warrants. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s history, which we anticipate to remain at zero.

For the Seller’s Earn-out, a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model is used to determine the fair value. The expected volatility assumption was determined using a weighted average of the Company’s historical volatility, the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, and the implied volatility from the calculationmarket price of loss per share of common stock for the three months March 31, 2021. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted loss per share includes the incremental number of shares of common stock to be issued to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury method. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock. As a result, diluted loss per share of common stockPublic Warrants. The risk-free rate is the same as basic loss per share of common stock for all periods presented.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair valuebased on the grant dateU.S. Treasury instruments, the terms of which were consistent with the expected term of the Seller’s Earn-Out. The forecasted period represents the time until expiration of the Seller’s Earn-Out. The dividend yield is based on the Company’s history, which we anticipate to remain at zero.

We evaluate such estimates and is then re-valued atassumptions each reporting date, withperiod and reflect changes in the fair value reportedvaluation methodologies that we use.

For further discussion on these items and their impact included in theour financial statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classifiedrefer to Note 14 — Seller's Earn-Out and Note 15 — Warrants, included elsewhere in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.this Form 10-Q.

Common stock subject to possible redemption35

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in US treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that there will be an associated material exposure to interest rate riskRisk.

Item 4. Controls and ProceduresProcedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures are controls(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and other procedures15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in ourthe reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controlsforms and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure thatsuch information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including ourthe Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired controls.

EvaluationAs of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15September 30, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the Exchange Act,supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021.defined above. Based upon theirthat evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) underwere effective at the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.reasonable assurance level.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting

Reporting: There werehave been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as the circumstances that led to the restatement of our financial statements described in this Form 10-Q had not yet been identified. We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness was due to management’s review of the of the accounting treatment for the warrants issued in the initial public offering and sold in the concurrent private placement. Management’s review was insufficient to identify a classification error that led to our restatement of our financial statements, as described in Note 10 to the Notes to Financial Statements entitled “Restatement of Previously Issued Balance Sheet.” In light of the restatement, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

PART II - II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.Proceedings.

From time to time, we are made aware of legal allegations arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any actions, claims, suits or other legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to AdTheorent, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated February 25, 2021 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Statement”) discussing the accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). In light of the Statement and guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” our management evaluated the terms of the Warrant Agreement entered into in connection with our initial public offering, and concluded that our Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “Warrants”) include provisions that, based on the Statement, preclude the Warrants from being classified as components of equity. As a result, we have re-classified the Warrants as liabilities. Under this accounting treatment, we are required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in our operating results for the current period. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside of our control. We expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses due to the quarterly fair valuation of our Warrants and that such gains or losses could be material.

We have determined that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 2, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, on May 12, 2021, our management and our audit committee, determined that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 2, 2021, filed as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 8, 2021, should be restated. See “—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” In connection with the restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we conclude that a material weakness occurred or is occurring, we expect to evaluate and pursue steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

27

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the Statement and our subsequent restatement, our management and our audit committee determined that a material weakness existed in our internal controls over financial reporting.

If we conclude that a material weakness has occurred or is occurring, or as a result of the change in accounting for the Warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from any restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than the below, there have not been any material changes to the information related to the ITEM 1A. “Risk Factors” disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we have no knowledgeface.

Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any such litigation or dispute arising dueof these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects as well as our ability to restatement or material weaknessaccomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigationcommon stock could decline and you could lose part or dispute will not ariseall of your investment.

The recent attack by Hamas on Israel from the Gaza Strip could have an unpredictable effect on the global economy and on international and local securities markets, and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets. Thereafter, these terrorists launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip. Shortly following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas. The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict.

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

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On March 2, 2021 we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,983,333 Private Placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per Placement Warrant to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,975,000. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Public Offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.Proceeds

None.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

Use of Proceeds from the Public Offering

On March 2, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 31,625,000 units (the “Units”), including 4,125,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Warrants”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $316,250,000.

The securities sold in the Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252607). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on February 25, 2021.

28

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, $316,250,000 was placed in a Trust Account. We paid a total of $6,325,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $459,879 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $11,068,750 in underwriting discounts and commission.
