NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except share data)
(unaudited)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
1. Organization
On March 26, 2018, Fluent, Inc. (“Fluent”), formerly known as Cogint,The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Red Violet, Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed the previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-off”) ofand its risk management business from its digital marketing business by way of a distribution of all the shares of common stock of Fluent’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Violet, Inc. (“redconsolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “red violet” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, to Fluent’s stockholders of record as of March 19, 2018 (the “Record Date”) and certain warrant holders. The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such common stock and warrant holders, each of whom received one share of red violet’s common stock for every 7.5 shares of Fluent’s common stock held on the Record Date or to which they were entitled to under their warrant, which resulted in a distribution of a total of 10,266,613 shares of red violet common stock. Upon the Spin-off, red violet owns FluentsubsidiarieswhichpreviouslyoperatedFluent’sriskmanagementbusiness.
As a result of the Spin-off, red violet is an independent public company and red violet’s common stock began regular-way trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RDVT” on March 27, 2018.
red violet has only one operating segment, as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.”
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and liquidity
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared for red violet in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations.
red violet accounted for the Spin-off in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5 Initial Measurement- Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control – Transfer Date Measurement and therefore the net assets transferred from Fluent to red violet upon the Spin-off were reflected in our consolidated financial statements at Fluent carrying values at the time of the Spin-off.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2018.2022.
The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes of red violetincluded in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172021 (“2017 Financials”) included in Exhibit 99.1, Information Statement, to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018.10-K”).
The condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet as of December 31, 20172021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the 2017 Financials,Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by US GAAP.
The Company has only 1 operating segment, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting.”
Principles of consolidation and combination
AlthoughThe condensed consolidated financial statements include the Spin-off was completed on March 26, 2018,financial statements of the Company has reflected the Spin-off in these financial statements as if it occurred on March 31, 2018 as the Company determined that the impact is not material to the consolidated and combined financial statements.
The financial statements present the consolidated and combined results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of red violet and its subsidiaries. These financial statements were prepared on a consolidatedAll significant transactions among the Company and combined basis because certain of the entities were under common control for periods prior to the Spin-off. All intercompany accounts and transactionsits subsidiaries have been eliminated between the consolidated and combined entities.upon consolidation.
The historical condensed consolidated and combined financial results presented prior to the Spin-off may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved by the Company had it operated as a separate, standalone entity prior to the Spin-off. The
6
condensed consolidated and combined financial statements presented prior to the Spin-off do not reflect any changes that may occur in the Company’s operations in connection with or as a result of the Spin-off.
(b) Recently issued accounting standards
As an emerging growth company, we havethe Company has left open the opportunity to take advantage of the extended transitionperiod provided to emerging growth companies in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), however, it is the Company’s present intention to adopt any applicable new accounting standards timely.
In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in evaluating whether it controls the good or the service before it is transferred to the customer. The new revenue recognition standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, that is, the first quarter of 2018. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We adopted Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and the adoption did not have any material impact on our consolidated and combined balance sheets, statements of operations, or cash flows. Refer to Note 1(c) below for further details.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842),” which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. This guidance will be effective for public entities and private entities in the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, respectively, on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. It will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020. We are still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated and combined financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance for certain cash flow issues, including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs etc. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-15 for the first quarter of 2018 and ASU 2016-15 did not have any material impact on our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts that are not completed contracts at the date of initial application. There was no impact on the opening accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 due to the adoption of Topic 606.
Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In other words, our performance obligation is to provide on demand solutions to our customers by leveraging our proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytic techniques to our massive data repository. The pricing for the customer contracts is based on usage, a monthly fee, or a combination of both.
Available within Topic 606, we have applied the portfolio approach practical expedient in accounting for customer revenue as one collective group, rather than individual contracts. Based on our historical knowledge of the contracts contained in this portfolio and the similar nature and characteristics of the customers, we have concluded the financial statement effects are not materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue is recognized over a period of time since the performance obligation is delivered in a series. Our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the performance as the Company performs. Furthermore, we have elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient, available within ASC 606-10-55-18, as our measure of progress, since we have a right to payment from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of our performance completed-to-date. The Company's revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.
7
If a customer pays consideration before we transfer services to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred revenue. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the balance of deferred revenue was $21 and $33, respectively, all of which are expected to be realized in the next 12 months. $17 of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2017 had been recognized into revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2018, approximately $363 of revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to outstanding performance obligations. The balance relates primarily to revenues for subscription contracts that has a term of more than 12 months. Approximately $180 will be recognized during the remaining nine months of 2018, $174 in 2019 and the remainder in 2020. The actual timing of recognition may vary due to factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company has elected to exclude variable consideration related entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations and contracts where revenue is recognized based upon the right to invoice the customer.
Sales commissions are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses.
In addition, we elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
3. Loss2. (Loss) earnings per share
Basic loss(loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss(loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss(loss) earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested shares. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation in the loss periods as their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. As of March 31, 2018June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2017,2021, the balance of goodwill of $5,227$5,227 was as a result of the acquisition of Interactive Data, LLC, (“Interactive Data”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of red violet, effective on October 2, 2014.
In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. The measurement date of ourthe Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is October 1.1.
For the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 goodwill impairment charges were recorded.
5. Revenue recognition
The Company recognized revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under this standard, revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide on demand information and identity intelligence solutions to its customers by leveraging its proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytics to its massive data repository. The pricing for the customer contracts is based on usage, a monthly fee, or a combination of both.
6
Available within Topic 606, the Company has applied the portfolio approach practical expedient in accounting for customer revenue as one collective group, rather than individual contracts. Based on the Company’s historical knowledge of the contracts contained in this portfolio and the similar nature and characteristics of the customers, the Company has concluded the financial statement effects are not materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract by contract basis.
Revenue is recognized over a period of time. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as and when provided. Furthermore, the Company has elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient, available within Topic 606, as its measure of progress, since it has a right to payment from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance completed-to-date. The Company's revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 80% and 81% of total revenue was attributable to customers with pricing contracts, respectively, versus 20% and 19% attributable to transactional customers, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 78% and 80% of total revenue was attributable to customers with pricing contracts, respectively, versus 22% and 20% attributable to transactional customers, respectively. Pricing contracts are generally annual contracts or longer, with auto renewal.
If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, those amounts are classified as deferred revenue. As of March 31, 2018June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2017, there2021, the balance of deferred revenue was $622 and $841, respectively, all of which is expected to be realized in the next 12 months. In relation to the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021, $145 and $469 was recognized into revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022, $9,369 of revenue is expected to be recognized in the future for performance obligations that are no eventsunsatisfied or changespartially unsatisfied, related to pricing contracts that have a term of more than 12 months, of which, $3,520 of revenue will be recognized in circumstancesthe remainder of 2022, $4,821 in 2023, $1,017 in 2024, and $11 in 2025. The actual timing of recognition may vary due to indicate that goodwill is impaired.factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company excludes variable consideration related entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations and contracts and recognizes such variable consideration based upon the right to invoice the customer.
Sales commissions are incurred and recorded on an ongoing basis over the term of the customer relationship. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expenses.
In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily a result of the remeasurement of its valuation allowance, which differed from the income tax that would result from applying the U.S. corporate statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the effectiveto its (loss) income tax rate was 0%, and the difference is primarily the result of the full valuation allowance applied against the Company’s deferred tax assets.before income taxes.

(b) GuaranteesContingencies
AsThe Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
The Company may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and the Company cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
(c) Covid-19 update

During 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company saw ongoing improvement in its results of operations, with the exception of the Company's idiVERIFIED service, which is an ancillary collections market offering that is purely transactional and of a lower margin profile. The Company expects its idiVERIFIED service volume to return to pre-Covid levels in the first half of 2023. Given the ongoing uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants and the development, availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines, the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Company's ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
To further support the Company’s liquidity, beginning April 1, 2020, the Company elected, under Section 2302 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), to defer payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll tax. Under the CARES Act, employers could forgo timely payment of the employer portion of Social Security taxes that would otherwise be due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2017,2020, without penalty or interest charges. Employers must pay 50% of the deferred amount by December 31, 2021, and the remainder by December 31, 2022. The Company paid 50% of the deferred amount in December 2021. On May 5, 2020, the Company received funding under a promissory note dated May 5, 2020 evidencing an unsecured non-recourse loan under the CARES Act, which was fully forgiven by Legacy Bank of Florida and the U.S. Small Business Administration in June 2021, resulting in a guarantorgain on certain Fluentextinguishment of debt with an outstanding principal amount, plus paid-in-kind interest, of $55.6 million as of December 31, 2017,$2,175 during the three and a maturity date in December 2020.
Upon the Spin-off on March 26, 2018, Fluent, LLC, a subsidiary of Fluent, refinanced such Fluent debt, and red violet’s obligations as a guarantor ceased.

We build proprietary technologies and similarterms), to Fluent’s stockholders of record as of March 19, 2018 (the “Record Date”) and certain warrant holders. The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such common stock and warrant holders, each of whom received one share of red violet’s common stock for every 7.5 shares of Fluent’s common stock held on the Record Date or to which they were entitled to under their warrant, which resulted in a distribution of a total of 10,266,613 shares of red violet common stock.

The financial statements present the consolidated and combined results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of red violet and its subsidiaries. These financial statements were prepared on a consolidated and combined basis because the operations were under common control.

From Fluent’s acquisition of the risk management business in September 2014 through December 2016, the majority of our operations were dedicated to the early stage development of our business model, including the development of our proprietary, cloud-based technology platform, CORE, and the buildout of our initial-phase suite of products, powered by CORE, to serve a variety of industries within risk management. Beginning January 2017, with our technology platform production ready and hardened, our initial suite of products released into the marketplace, and a multi-year product roadmap defined, we transformed from a development organization to a sales-driven organization with sales increasing from a $5.8 million annual run-rate for the month ended January 31, 2017, to a $15.1 million annual run-rate for the month ended March 31, 2018.
In order for red violetus to continue to develop new products, grow itsour existing business and expand into additional markets, we must generate and sustain sufficient operating profits and cash flow in future periods. This will require us to generate additional sales from current products and new products currently under development. We are buildingcontinue to build out our sales organization to drive current products and to introduce new products into the marketplace.
During 2020, we experienced significantly reduced commercial activity in numerous aspects of our business as a result of the preventative and protective actions taken by federal, state and local governments to combat Covid-19, including the implementation of stay-at-home orders, social distancing policies and certain temporary government-imposed moratoria on collection customers’ activities. During 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, we saw ongoing improvement in our results of operations, with the exception of our idiVERIFIED service, which is an ancillary collections market place.offering that is purely transactional and of a lower margin profile. We expect our idiVERIFIED service volume to return to pre-Covid levels in the first half of 2023. Given the ongoing uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants and the development, availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines, the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
To further support our liquidity, beginning April 1, 2020, we elected, under Section 2302 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), to defer payment of the employer portion of Social Security payroll tax. Under the CARES Act, employers could forgo timely payment of the employer portion of Social Security taxes that would otherwise be due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, without penalty or interest charges.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure equal to net loss,(loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on US GAAP, adding backexcluding interest expense (income), net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, litigation costs, and write-off of long-lived assets and others, as noted in the tables below. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We define adjusted gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), and adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

In order to assist readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin as supplemental measures of our operating performance because weperformance. We believe they provide useful information to our investors as they eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. In addition, we use them as an integral part of

our internal reporting to measure the performance of our business, evaluate the performance of our senior management and measure the operating strength of our business.
AdjustedWe believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are measuresrelevant and provide useful information frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours and are indicators of the operational strength of our business. AdjustedWe believe adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and write-off of long-lived assets, and the impact of other items.non-recurring items, providing useful comparisons versus prior periods or forecasts. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Our adjusted gross profit is a measure used by management in evaluating the business’ current operating performance by excluding the impact of prior historical costs of assets that are expensed systematically and allocated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which may not be indicative of the current operating activity. Our adjusted gross margin areprofit is calculated by using revenue, less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We believe adjusted gross profit provides useful information to our investors by eliminating the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization, and specifically the amortization of software developed for internal use, providing a baseline of our core operating results that allow for analyzing trends in our underlying business consistently over multiple periods. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

The way we measure adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.

PART II - OTHEROTHER INFORMATION
The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees associated with any legal proceedings, are expensed as incurred. We review legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance, including ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450, when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
In addition, weWe may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
