Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $0.4 million, or 13.2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding prior-year period primarily due to a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense as a result of a decrease in the outstanding principal amount under our senior secured term loan under the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”).
Interest expense, net increased $0.6 million, or 10.3%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding prior-year period primarily due to a decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense as a result of a decrease in the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loan.
Other Expense (Income), Net
The $3.2 million of other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of a $2.9 million loss on revaluation of the Veritone One earnout receivable. The $0.1 million of other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of a $0.2 million loss on sale of GridBeyond, partially offset by a $0.1 foreign currency impact.
The $0.9 million of other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily consisted of a $0.8 million gain on revaluation of the Veritone One earnout receivable. The $0.5 million of other expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of a $0.2 million loss on sale of GridBeyond and a $0.4 million foreign currency impact.
Net Income From Discontinued Operations
On October 17, 2024, we completed the Divestiture. The Divestiture was strategic, primarily allowing us to focus on our AI solutions, and secondarily improving our financial liquidity with the net proceeds from the Divestiture. During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that Veritone One met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the historical financial results of Veritone One are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements herein as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented on a retrospective basis, unless otherwise stated. See Note 3 on Discontinued Operations included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Net income from discontinued operations was $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and primarily consisted of revenue of $6.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively, offset by cost of revenue of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, other operating expenses of $4.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of net interest expense allocations primarily due to the repayment of our Term Loan as a result of the Divestiture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically generated negative cash flows from operations and have primarily financed our operations through the sale of equity securities and debt. In January 2025, we issued and sold an aggregate of 4,414,878 shares of common stock at a price of $2.53 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,608,838 shares of common stock at a price of $2.52 per pre-funded warrant, with an exercise price of $0.01, in a registered direct offering. The aggregate gross proceeds were approximately $20.3 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses.
On June 30, 2025, we agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 6,452,293 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.09 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,804,587 shares of our common stock, priced at $1.08 per pre-funded warrant, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, to certain institutional and accredited investors in a registered direct offering. The sale and issuance of shares and warrants were completed on July 1, 2025. Additionally, in a concurrent private placement transaction, we and Ryan Steelberg, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, as trustee of the RSS Trust, entered into the Steelberg Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the RSS Trust agreed to purchase from us, and we agreed to issue and sell to the RSS Trust, up to 709,220 shares of common stock for a gross aggregate offering price of $1.0 million, at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) $1.41 (representing the consolidated closing bid price of our common stock on June 27, 2025), and (ii) the consolidated closing bid price of our common stock on the date that is the second full trading day after the date on which our Q2 Form 10-Q is filed. The aggregate gross proceeds were approximately $10.0 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses.
We also have the ability to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $35.0 million from time to time pursuant to a sales agreement we entered into with Needham & Company, LLC and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agents”, and the program, the “ATM Program”). As of June 30, 2025, we have received $7.8 million in gross proceeds for sales of 3,716,873 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million. We also may receive additional proceeds in connection with the Divestiture, including any earn-out payments and releases of previously escrowed amounts, all of which proceeds, if received, must be used to repay our Term Loan.
