Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as reported in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s significant accounting policies and practices are as described in the Annual Report. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year or for any future periods. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim period presented based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Prior Period Reclassification Certain amounts in prior year’s condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation. Accounting Policies Trade receivable, net The Company records trade receivables for amounts invoiced and yet unbilled. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the trade receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. The estimated credit loss allowance is recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and trade receivables, net. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with major banks in the US, Israel and the UK. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent that amounts recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets exceed insured limits. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company’s trade receivables, net is mainly derived from sales to customers located in the US, APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue as presented below: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Customer A 15 % 16 % 16 % 16 % Software development costs Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to the purchase and development of internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and personnel-related employee benefits for employees directly associated with the software development and external costs of the materials or services consumed in developing or obtaining the software. Any costs incurred for upgrades and functionality enhancements of the software are also capitalized. Once this software is ready for use in providing the Company's services, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three years. The amortization is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized internal-use software cost of $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized internal-use software cost of $6.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, which represents labor costs including stock based compensation. Cloud computing arrangements During nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company capitalized certain application development phase costs related to hosting arrangements that are service contracts (cloud computing arrangements). Capitalized costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, once the modules or components are ready for its intended use. The amount capitalized at September 30, 2024 was immaterial. This amortization will be recorded to software subscription expense within general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash outflows from cloud computing arrangement implementation costs are classified within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If there are indications of an impairment, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. No impairment was recognized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024. In September 2023, the Company identified an impairment indicator for its legacy measurement product and recorded an impairment charge of $2.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Goodwill and acquired intangible assets Goodwill and acquired intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements resulting from various business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized as it is estimated to have an indefinite life. As such, goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the expected benefit from the business combination. Reporting units are evaluated when changes in the Company’s operating structure occur, and if necessary, goodwill is reassigned using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment is the only reporting unit. ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually and, in certain circumstances, between annual tests. The accounting guidance gives the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price resulting in its market capitalization being less than the carrying value of its one reporting unit. Thus, the Company performed quantitative assessments of the Company’s reporting unit. The fair value was determined based on the market approach. The market approach utilizes the Company's market capitalization plus an appropriate control premium. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of common stock outstanding by the market price of its common stock. The control premium is determined by utilizing publicly available data from studies for similar transactions of public companies. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $14.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. No impairment was recognized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024. Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Customer relationships and acquired technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets; approximately 11 years and 6 years, respectively. Amortization of customer relationships and acquired technology is presented within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Fair value of financial instruments The Company applies a fair value framework to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, net, trade payables, employees, payroll accruals, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, historical carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company’s investments in money market funds are classified as cash equivalents and measured at fair value. The Company measures its warrant liability at fair value. The following tables present information about the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 18,919 $ — $ — Liabilities: Warrants liability 411 — — December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 32,264 $ — $ — Liabilities: Warrants liability 307 — — As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s warrant liability represents the warrants (refer to Note 4), that were assumed in the Transaction, which were originally issued in connection with ION’s initial public offering. The Company’s warrants are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. The Company’s warrants are within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. The Company determines the fair value of the warrants by using the closing warrant price. Revenue recognition Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from digital ad solutions, where the Company provides an ad serving platform for use by advertisers, media agencies and publishers. Standard, interactive and data driven digital video ads are delivered through this ad serving platform. Advertising impressions are served via the Company’s cloud-based ad serving platform to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display and other channels. InnovidXP, the Company’s cloud-based cross-platform TV Ad measurement solution, measures the efficiency of CTV advertising and in-flight optimizations for TV marketers. The customers get insights into the effectiveness of their TV and digital advertising. The Company also provides creative services for the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units. The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“ASC 606”) and determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable, the Company allocates the contract consideration to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). SSP is typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. Revenue related to ad serving is recognized when impressions are delivered via the Company’s ad serving platform. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users. Revenue related to the InnovidXP solution is recognized over time, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. Revenues for this measurement subscription is recognized over the service period. Revenue related to creative projects is recognized when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week. The Company’s accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables related to products and services, for which the Company’s contracted performance obligations have been satisfied, the amount has been billed and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. The Company typically bills customers monthly based on actual delivery. Payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less. The typical contract term is twelve months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Most of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Deferred revenue represents mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for measurement platform services. Deferred revenue is recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, from amounts included in deferred at the beginning of the period were $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Revenue from ad serving solutions via Innovid’s ad serving platform was 74.8% and 73.3% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue from measurement subscriptions was 22.2% and 23.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Creative services were 3.0% and 3.5% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue from ad serving solutions via Innovid’s ad serving platform was 75.2% and 73.4% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue from measurement subscriptions was 21.8% and 22.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Creative services were 3.0% and 3.7% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Costs to obtain a contract Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Most of the Company’s commissions are commensurate. If commissions are not eligible for the practical expedient, the commissions are capitalized and are amortized over three years. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, capitalized commissions were immaterial. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted As an “emerging growth company,” the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election. Income taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve transparency of income tax disclosure by requiring income tax disclosures to contain consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. This standard affects the disclosure of income taxes, not the accounting for income taxes. This standard is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09. Segments In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expense and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07. |
