The COVID-19 pandemic has created, and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, and the extent of its impact on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s customers. Based on public reporting and the Company’s observations, some advertisers in certain industries decreased and may continue to decrease their short-term advertising spending in light of supply chain disruptions, labor shortage they may be experiencing and impacts of the inflation resulted from the macro economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, other global events such as a war in the Ukraine could have an impact on the Company’s customers. This in turn could negatively impact the Company’s revenues from such advertisers.
The Company has considered the impact of COVID-19 and other global events on its estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.
The Company obtained an unsecured loan of $3,516 in April 2020 due to uncertainties related to COVID-19. The loan was obtained through SVB under the PPP Loan pursuant to the CARES Act and Flexibility Act. The Company fully repaid the PPP Loan in June 2021.For more information see Note 6.
(c)Software development costs:
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and 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 will be presented within cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company capitalized $1,671 and $0, respectively, in internal-use software cost.

(d)Business combinations:
The Company accounts for business combinations by applying the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combination” (“ASC 805”) and allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.
(e)Goodwill and intangible assets:
Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of acquisitions. 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, but rather is subject to an 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.
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. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairments of goodwill were recorded.
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.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over their useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairments of intangible assets were recorded.
Technology and trade name are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 6 and 8 years, respectively, using straight-line amortization method. Customer relationships are being amortized over the preliminary estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using the estimated pattern of economic benefit.
The amortization of trade name and customer relationships will be presented within sales and marketing whereas technology will be presented within cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(f)Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company applies a fair value framework in order to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s warrant liability includes warrants that were originally issued in connection with the ION IPO, which were transferred to the Company as part of the Closing. The Company Warrants are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. The Company has determined that the fair value of the Public Warrants at a specific date is determined by the closing price of the Company’s Public Warrants, traded under the symbol “CTVWS” and within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The closing price of the Public Warrants was $1.01 and $1.11 as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Public Warrants was $3,194 and $3,510 as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021, respectively. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability are recognized in “Finance expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2022 and continue to be valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was $12,991 and $15,462 as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021, respectively. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability are recognized in “Finance expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
(g)Concentrations of credit risks:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and trade receivables, net.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with major banks in America and Israel. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
The Company’s trade receivables, net are mainly derived from sales to customers located in the APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing an ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions.
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

(h)Warrants:
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480 and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “Financial expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

(i)Revenue recognition:
The Company generates revenues from providing Advertising Services to advertisers, publishers and media agencies. The services focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. The Company’s revenue streams are ad serving, creative and measurement services. Ad serving services relate to utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels. Creative services relate to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units. The Company also provides measurement services through access to a measurement application in real time or by delivery of a report. Measurement services relate to analytics of advertisements and campaigns.
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 SSP. SSP is determined using the adjusted market assessment approach and expected cost plus a margin approach.
Revenues related to ad serving services are recognized at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenues related to creative services are recognized at a point in time, when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
Revenues related to measurement services are recognized over time or at a point in time. If the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance, revenues for these measurement services are recognized over the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied and control of the service is transferred to the customer. This is the case when the customer has access to the measurement application in real time. The performance obligation is satisfied over the contract period on a straight-line basis. If the Company delivers the measurement report, the revenues are recognized at the point in time.
The Company’s accounts receivable, consist primarily of receivables related to providing ad serving, creative and measurement 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 on a monthly basis based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of 60 days or less.
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Some of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without a cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Ad serving services were 85.1% and 93.8% of the Company’s revenues for the three-month ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and 2021 (unaudited), respectively. Measurement services were 10.3% and 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and 2021 (unaudited), respectively. Creative services were 4.3% and 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and 2021 (unaudited), respectively.

Costs to obtain a contract:
Contract costs include commission programs to compensate sales employees for generating sales orders with new customers or for new services with existing customers. The commissions are commensurate. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The Company did not capitalize any contract costs during the periods ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and 2021 (unaudited), respectively.
(j)Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued the ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model that supersedes the previous lease guidance and requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Innovid adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2021 have been presented in accordance with the standard, while results for prior periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new leases standard was recognized as an adjustment to the opening interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 (unaudited).
The Company elected a package of practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2022 and did not reassess historical conclusions on: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs capitalization for any existing leases.
This standard has a significant impact on our consolidated condensed balance sheet but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The most significant effects relate to the recognition ROU assets and lease liabilities on interim condensed consolidated balance sheet for real estate and cars operating leases.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets, adjusted for the accrued rent and remaining lease incentives received on the adoption date, as follows:
January 1, 2022 | |||||||||||
(Unaudited) | |||||||||||
ROU assets | Lease liabilities | ||||||||||
Real Estate | $ | 3,878 | $ | 5,482 | |||||||
Cars | 50 | 49 | |||||||||
Total operating leases | $ | 3,928 | $ | 5,531 |
Refer to Note 4 – Leases for further information related to the Company’s leases.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. Innovid adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in acquisition accounting. The Company adopted the standard effective in the first quarter of 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(k)Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company:
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.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The final guidance issued by the FASB for convertible instruments eliminates two of the three models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Separate accounting is still required in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates some of the conditions for equity classification in ASC 815-40-25 for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other issued new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3:- TRANSACTION AND BUSINESS COMBINATION
Business Combination
On February 28, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of TVS. TVS is an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV and a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Scotland. The Company acquired all of the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of $100,000 in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock at fair value of $3.80 per share, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option of the Company at weighted average fair value of $3.49, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company through this acquisition added a real-time, cross-platform service to its offerings, including measurement outcomes such as frequency and unique unduplicated reach and performance metrics. The combination of ad serving and cross-platform measurement enables the buy- and sell-sides to solve fragmentation by unlocking a complete picture of advertising and audiences across the linear TV, CTV and digital video marketplaces.
The acquisition of TVS has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, have not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited). As a result, Innovid recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value of intangible assets, goodwill, and income taxes among other items. The completion of the valuation will occur no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (unaudited):

Less: Deferred tax liabilities | (7,855) | |||||||
Less: Other assumed liabilities | (3,420) | |||||||
Net assets acquired | $ | 152,038 |
Intangible assets relate to technology, trade name and customer relationship of $27,675, $5,300 and $26,800, respectively. These are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 6 years, 8 years, and 11 years, respectively. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach", which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for `the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recognized from the acquisition of TVS represents the value of additional growth potential of the revenue base from the creation of a single combined global organization and synergies related to combined IT efforts for enhancement of the existing and acquired technologies . The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
In addition to the purchase consideration, the Company entered into cash compensation arrangements with certain employees, which amounted to $9,500 in aggregate and are subject to certain performance and employment conditions following the acquisition date.
The Company incurred total transaction costs of $4,206 for the acquisition, of which $4,045 was included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited). Acquisition related costs include legal, accounting fees and other professional costs directly related to the acquisition.
Following the acquisition date, the operating results of TVS have been included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. For the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2022 (unaudited), revenues attributable to TVS were $2,449 and net loss attributable to TVS were $955, inclusive of $510 of intangible asset amortization.

Transaction
As discussed in Note 1, on November 30, 2021, the Transaction was closed.
The Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ION who was the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the Transaction was treated as the equivalent of Innovid Corp. issuing stock for the net assets of ION, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ION are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Upon the Closing of the Transaction, among other things:

NOTE 4:- LEASES
Innovid's lease portfolio primarily consists of real estate properties and vehicles. Short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Innovid does not separate lease components from non-lease components.
The Company is a lessee. The Company records lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Innovid generally uses an incremental borrowing rate to discount its lease liabilities, as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily determinable. Certain lease agreements include renewal options that are under the Company's control. Innovid includes optional renewal periods in the lease term only when it is reasonably certain that Innovid will exercise its option.
Variable lease payments are primarily related to payments to lessors for taxes, maintenance, insurance and other operating costs. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

NOTE 5:- WARRANTS LIABILITY
Company Warrants
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 3,162,500 Public Warrants and 7,060,000 Private Warrants outstanding.
Public Warrants
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Transaction and (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of the Transaction or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Innovid Corp. ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
•in whole and not in part;
•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
•if, and only if, the closing price of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise the warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s common shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalization, reorganization, recapitalization and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Innovid Corp. ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
•in whole and not in part;
•at a price of $0.10 per warrant;
•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares; and
•if, and only if, the closing price of the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
17
INNOVID, CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except stock and per stock data)
If the Company calls these Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below their exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Innovid Corp. ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Transaction subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or its permitted transferees.
The Company evaluated the Company Warrants (Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers, as well as provisions that provided for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, preclude the Company Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the warrants do not meet all the requirements for equity classification, the Company Warrants are recorded as liabilities on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.
The Company Warrants’ fair value as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 was $16,185 and $18,972, respectively.
The unrealized gain from changes in the fair value of the Company Warrants for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) was $2,787.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.

Company Overview
We are a leading independent software platform that provides critical technology infrastructure for the creation, delivery, and measurement of TV ads across CTV, mobile TV and desktop TV environments. As of March 31, 2022, over 50% of the top 200 brands by TV US advertising spend according to Kantar Media and Winmo are utilizing our platform in their advertisement delivery infrastructure. Innovid’s revenue has grown alongside the growth of CTV advertising. We believe our open platform and purpose-built technology for CTV, combined with our position as a media-independent provider, has allowed us to win a large and growing market share, while the growth of CTV combined with our usage-based revenue model has further contributed to our rapid growth. Our acquisition of TVSquared, an independent global measurement and attribution platform for CTV, will allow us to capitalize further on the growth of CTV by enabling us to create a new independent currency-grade standard for cross-platform TV measurement, powered by the scale and automation of a global ad server.
Innovid’s purpose-built CTV infrastructure platform is comprised of three key offerings: Ad Serving Solutions, Creative Personalization Solutions and Measurement Solutions, which now includes TVSquared. Our software-based platform provides an open technology infrastructure that tightly integrates with the highly fragmented advertising technology and media ecosystem including demand side platforms such as The Trade Desk and Amobee; supply side platforms such as Magnite and Verizon Media; publishers such as Hulu and Peacock; and end user devices such as Amazon Fire and Samsung Smart TV. Our offering encompasses independent global ad serving, data-driven personalization, and new forms of measurement designed to connect all channels in a clean, comparable, and privacy-compliant manner. Although we work closely with the vendors who buy and sell media, our platform only facilitates the creation, delivery and measurement of advertisements and campaigns and we do not make purchasing decisions or facilitate the purchasing of advertisement inventory. Because we do not make ad buying or selling decisions we are able to maintain our independence and remain free of potential buying conflicts.
We target clients comprised of the largest global TV advertisers. As of March 31, 2022, our blue-chip advertiser client base included over 50% of the top 200 brands by TV US advertising spend according to Kantar Media and Winmo. In addition we work closely with the top advertising agency holding companies such as WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom, Interpublic Group of Cos., and Dentsu. Our clients are diversified across all major industry verticals, including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and healthcare, financial services, automotive, and technology. We believe Innovid’s independence is critical to advertisers seeking an interoperable and open partner that is primarily focused on technology infrastructure.
Innovid serves customers globally through a delivery footprint covering over 70 countries, including the US, UK, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Singapore, Japan and Australia. In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, non-US customers generated approximately 9% and 10% of the total revenue.
Our revenue model is based on impressions volume and the cost per impression for our various ad serving services. For our core ad serving platform, we generate revenue from our advertising customers based on the volume of advertising impressions delivered, enabling us to grow as our customers increase their digital ad spend and corresponding ad impressions. Additionally, we generate revenue from creative services based on flat fee per projects and measurement solutions based on the volume of advertising impressions measured. As we introduce new products such as advanced measurement and creative capabilities including personalization and interactivity, we expect to be able to charge higher prices per impression volume.

Business Combination
On February 28, 2022, we completed the acquisition of TVS. TVS is an independent global measurement and attribution platform for converged TV and a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Scotland. We acquired all of the equity of TVS for an aggregate amount of $100.0 million in cash, 11,549,465 shares of the Company common stock, and the issuance of 949,893 fully vested stock option subject to certain adjustments.
Through this acquisition we added a real-time, cross-platform service to our offerings, including measurement of outcomes such as frequency and unique unduplicated reach and performance metrics. The combination of ad serving and cross-platform measurement enables the buy- and sell-sides to solve fragmentation by unlocking a complete picture of advertising and audiences across the linear TV, CTV and digital video marketplaces.

Innovid Corp. was originally incorporated as ION Acquisition Corp. 2 Ltd., a special purpose acquisition company, in Cayman Islands on November 23, 2020 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
On November 30, 2021 ION and Innovid Inc. closed the transaction. Through several mergers and a name change, Innovid Corp. was formed. ION entered into certain subscription agreements in June and October 2021 (“PIPE Investment”). The Mergers and PIPE Investment are collectively referred to as “the Transaction”. Innovid Corp. is the public company entity which continues Legacy Innovid’s operating activity.
The Company common stock and warrants commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbols “CTV” and “CTVWS,” respectively, on December 1, 2021.
COVID-19 and Other Global Events
The COVID-19 pandemic has created, and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, and the extent of its impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on our customers. Based on public reporting and our observations, some advertisers in certain industries decreased and may continue to decrease their short-term advertising spending in light of supply chain disruptions, labor shortage they may be experiencing and impacts of the inflation resulted from the macro economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, other global events such as a war in the Ukraine could have an impact our customers. This in turn could negatively impact our revenues from such advertisers.
We have considered the impact of COVID-19 and of other global events on our estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.
We obtained an unsecured loan of $3.5 million in April 2020 due to uncertainties related to COVID-19. The loan was obtained through SVB under the PPP Loan pursuant to the CARES Act and the Flexibility Act. In May 2020, we received $0.5 million from SSIG, a related party of one of our investors, for the purpose of a partial repayment of the PPP Loan. We have since repaid the PPP Loan in the amount of $3.0 million in June 2021. For more detail refer to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
There are a number of factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, our results of operations and growth. These factors include:
Continued market demand. Our performance is dependent on continued global demand across the advertising ecosystem for independent third-party ad serving and measurement of digital ads. Advertisers, programmatic platforms, social media channels and digital publishers are collectively placing increased emphasis on the quality and effectiveness of digital ad spend across all channels, formats and devices.
Our growth is primarily driven by the fastest growing segments of digital ad spend, mostly CTV, and our results depend on our ability to capture continued market growth.
25
Growth of volume of CTV ad impressions of existing customers. Our results also depend on our ability to retain our existing customers and on our customers’ continued investment in CTV advertising. Customer retention will continue to impact our results as TV investment continues to shift from linear to CTV and the volume of CTV impressions grows.
CTV accounted for 49% of all video impression volume served in the three months ended March 31, 2022, up from 46% in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and grew 36% year-over-year. Mobile increased 22% year-over-year and accounted for 38%, and desktop increased 20% and accounted for 13% video impressions served by Innovid.
Upsell of additional services. An additional contributor to our efforts in expanding revenue generated by our customers is our investment in cross-selling our solutions. We cross-sell our personalized creative solutions to primary ad serving customers, who, for example, begin using our services with standard TV ads and then introduce personalized formats over time. We also have cross-selling efforts related to our advanced measurement solutions, which provide real-time metrics to inform optimization of TV campaigns while in market. The success of these efforts will impact our results of operations.
Global expansion
The majority of our clients are global advertisers and operate at a significant scale. Innovid serves customers globally through a delivery footprint covering over 70 countries, including the US, the UK, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Israel, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and China.
We intend to continue to grow our footprint in international markets in order to meet the needs of our global customer base and to accelerate new customer acquisition in key geographies outside of North America. Our results of operations will be impacted by the success of our geographic expansion, and whether the expected ad spend growth in these markets materializes.
New client accounts: We intend to continue targeting new brand, media agency and digital publisher customers who are currently utilizing solutions provided by our competitors or point solutions. Our results of operations will be impacted by our ability to attract new customers.
Seasonality: We experience fluctuations in revenues that coincide with seasonal fluctuations in the digital ad spending of our customers, in particular television ad spending patterns. Advertisers often allocate the largest portion of their media budgets to the fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased holiday purchasing. As a result, the fourth quarter of the year typically reflects our highest level of revenues while the first quarter typically reflects our lowest level of revenues. We expect our revenues to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole and for these seasonal fluctuations in ad spend to impact quarter-over-quarter results. We believe that the year-over-year comparison of results more appropriately reflects the overall performance of our business. However, this traditional seasonality may also be impacted by certain external factors or major events that impact traditional television advertising patterns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other global events.
Public company costs: We are incurring additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not previously incur, including costs associated with SEC reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as well as other rules implemented by the SEC and the NYSE. Our financial statements reflect the impact of these expenses.
Components of Results of Operations
The period to period comparisons of our results of operations have been prepared using the historical periods included in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenues
We generate revenues from providing Advertising Services to our customers: advertisers, media agencies and publishers. We focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. Our major revenue stream is ad serving, We also provide creative and measurement services.
26
Ad serving services relate to utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels. Creative services relate to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units. Measurement services, which have been augmented by the acquisition of TVS, provide real-time, cross-platform analysis, including measurement and outcomes such as reach, frequency and unique unduplicated reach, as well as performance metrics.
We generate the majority of our revenues from the sale and delivery of our products within the US. For information with respect to sales by geographic markets, refer to Note 10, “Segment Reporting” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Our chief operating decision maker (our CEO) does not evaluate the profit or loss from any separate geography.
We anticipate that revenues from our US sales will continue to constitute a substantial portion of our revenues in future periods.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs to run our ad serving, creative and measurement services. These costs include hosting fees, personnel costs including stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs and depreciation expense, based on headcount.
Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, professional services costs, hosting and facility related costs. We allocate overhead including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs and depreciation expenses based on headcount. We expect research and development expenses to increase in future periods to support our growth, including continuing to invest in optimization, accuracy and reliability of our platform and other technology improvements to support and drive efficiency in our operations. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, depending primarily upon when we choose to make more significant investments.
Research and development costs are charged to the statements of comprehensive loss as incurred. ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”), requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred only during the application development stage.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions, stock-based compensation, professional services costs and facility related costs, as well as costs related to advertising, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs and depreciation expense, based on headcount.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal and other administrative functions as well as professional services costs and facility related costs. We allocate overhead, including rent and other facility related costs, communication costs and depreciation expense, based on headcount.

Revenues
The growth and scaling of CTV was the key driver of Innovid’s revenue growth. As TV ad spend continues to shift from linear to CTV, we continue to benefit from the natural volume growth of CTV impressions we delivered for our existing and new customers.
Total revenue increased by 44% year-over-year, from $18.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $25.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. 9% of total quarterly revenue, $2.4 million, was attributed to TVS, following the acquisition closing on February 28, 2022.
Revenue excluding TVS was $23.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 30% from the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven primarily by growth in ad impressions delivered on our platform for both existing and new clients.
There was no meaningful impact of changes in average cost per impression on total revenue.
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, we generated our revenues from ad serving, creative and measurement services. Our customers use our platform for creation, delivery and measurement of advertisements across various device types and digital formats across various geographic regions.

The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3 million in personnel costs and an increase of $0.2 million in technology infrastructure and hosting fees, both to support our platform enhancement and maintenance work as well as our product research efforts. In addition, there was a $0.4 million increase in share-based compensation due to increase in headcount, value of our underlying common stock, vesting acceleration for several awards and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) that were granted to employees. The increases were partially offset by a $1.7 million capitalization of research and development expenses.

The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease of $2.7 million in warrants valuation as a result of market volatility impacting Company’s share price which is an underlying input for the valuation. Additionally, $1.3 million of Legacy Innovid warrants were converted into the Company’s common stock on the Closing of the Transaction in November 2021.

Tax expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 121%, from $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(0.04) million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to changes in pre-tax book income, changes in uncertain tax positions and tax benefit related to the acquisition of TVS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations, business acquisition and capital expenditures primarily through utilization of cash generated from operations and cash proceeds from the Transaction, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $45.9 million and net working capital, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, of $65.0 million. We paid net cash consideration of approximately $99.6 million for the acquisition of TVS. As of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $139.9 million, $76.0 million thereof results from the cumulative accretion of preferred stock to redemption value prior to the conversion of all preferred stock into our common stock upon the closing of the Transaction.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, if our operating performance during the next 12 months is below our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected. We are closely monitoring the effect that current economic conditions may have on our working capital requirements. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events have not had a material negative impact on our cash flow or liquidity. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors.
In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional financing by the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could also be subject to additional restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that are unfavorable to equity investors. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future on favorable terms, or at all. Any inability to raise capital could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.
Revolving Line of Credit
In 2016, we entered into additional modifications to the credit line agreement dated 2012 , pursuant to which certain conditions were amended, the Maturity Date was extended to October 21, 2018 and the line of credit was increased from $6.5 million to $10.0 million.
On April 7, 2017, we utilized $5.0 million of the line of credit. The credit installments bear US dollar denominated interest at an annual rate equal to 0.75% to 1% plus a prime rate on the outstanding principal of each credit installment. The balance owing as of December 31, 2017, was $5.0 million.
On October 20, 2018, we entered into additional modifications to the credit agreement, pursuant to which certain conditions were amended and the Maturity Date was extended to December 31, 2018.
On December 26, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated Agreement (the “A&R Agreement”), pursuant to which certain conditions were amended, the Maturity Date was extended to December 26, 2020 and the line of credit was increased from $10.0 million to $12.0 million.
On September 1, 2018 we utilized an additional $1.0 million of the line of credit. The credit installments bore US dollar denominated interest at an annual rate equal to 0.75% to 1% plus a prime rate on the outstanding principal of each credit installment. The Maturity Date was December 26, 2020. The balance owing as of December 31, 2018, was $6.0 million.
30
On November 30, 2019, we fully repaid the outstanding balance of the credit line in the amount of $6.0 million.
During 2020, we fully drew down on our $12.0 million credit line. As of December 31, 2020, we had repaid $6.0 million, leaving a balance of $6.0 million. On December 29, 2020, we entered into additional modifications to the A&R Agreement, pursuant to which certain conditions were amended and the Maturity Date was extended to December 29, 2022, and the line of credit increased to $15.0 million.
As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the credit line was in the amount of $6.0 million. The credit installments bear US dollar denominated interest at an annual rate equal to 0.75% to 1% plus a prime rate on the outstanding principal of each credit installment. We were in compliance with all the covenants, including by maintaining an adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.20:1.00. As defined in the A&R Agreement “adjusted quick ratio” is the ratio of (a) quick assets to (b) current liabilities minus the current portion of deferred revenue. “Quick assets” is our unrestricted cash plus accounts receivable, net, determined according to US GAAP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we continued utilizing $6.0 million of a $15.0 million credit line which was drawn during 2020. As of March 31, 2022, the covenants under the Agreement were not changed from the amended Agreement. We are in compliance with all the covenants.
Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. They were recorded in the “Finance expenses, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (111,264) | $ | 5,164 |
Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by growth in our operations, increases or decreases in collections from our customers and payments to our vendors, as well as increases in personnel related expenses as we scale up our business. The timing of cash receipts from customers and payments to vendors and providers can significantly impact our cash flows from operating activities. In addition, we expect seasonality to impact quarterly cash flows from operating activities.
Cash used in operating activities is calculated by adjusting our net loss for changes in working capital, as well as by excluding non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and changes in fair value of warrants.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $7.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss resulting from increased professional fees and personnel costs related to the expansion of our operations and non-recurring transaction costs related to the acquisition of TVS, partially offset by improvement in working capital management and non-cash adjustments. Our non-cash adjustments decreased by $2.0 million mostly driven by decrease in valuation of warrants due to changes in our stock market price, offset by an increase in stock based compensation as a result of RSUs granted in 2022.
The changes in our working capital compared to the prior period in the amount of $4.8 million were primarily the result of a decrease in trade receivables while the revenue and operating activities had increased compared to prior period due to an improvement in the customer collection period. The changes in working capital were also related to an increase in accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments for personnel costs, increased prepaid insurance premium after the Company had become a public company, increased expenses related to the preparation of public filings and business combination activities, and changes due to the acquisition of TVS.
31
Investing Activities
For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, we used $101.3 million of net cash in investing activities, primarily driven by cash consideration paid to acquire TVS offset by cash acquired of $99.6 million and the investment in software development work of $1.7 million.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, we used $0.2 million of net cash in investing activities, primarily consisting of purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million was due to payment of SPAC merger transaction costs of $3.2 million, partially offset by proceeds received for exercises of options in the amount of $0.5 million.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million was primarily due to proceeds received for exercises of options.
Contractual Obligations and Known Future Cash Requirements
Pledges and Bank Guarantees
In connection with the Agreement, we pledged 65,000 shares of common stock of our Israeli subsidiary, NIS 0.01 par value each.
We have a total of $0.8 million of pledged bank deposits as of March 31, 2022. We obtained bank guarantees in an aggregate amount of $0.2 million in connection with our office lease agreements in the US as of March 31, 2022.
Legal contingencies
On March 4, 2022, Nielsen, LLC filed suit against TVS in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10,063,378. TVS response to the complaint is due on June 15, 2022. The complaint has not been served, no schedule for the litigation or for trial has been set, and the plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation.
Cash compensation arrangements
In addition to the purchase consideration for the acquisition of TVS, we entered into cash compensation arrangements with certain employees, which amounted to $9.5 million in aggregate and are subject to certain performance and employment conditions following the closing of the acquisition.

Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results determined in accordance with US GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, other consists predominantly of the loss related to a one-time loss from sale of fixed assets in our Israeli subsidiary.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•they do not reflect costs of acquiring and integrating businesses, which will continue to be a part of our growth strategy;
•they do not reflect one-time, non-recurring costs associated with the SPAC merger transaction and regulatory filings;
•they do not reflect income tax expense;
•they do not reflect our interest expense; and
33
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the ongoing and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, we believe the following accounting policies to be the most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues from providing Advertising Services to advertisers, publishers and media agencies. The services focus on standard, interactive and data driven digital video advertising. The Company’s revenue streams are ad serving, creative and measurement services. Ad serving services relate to utilizing Innovid’s platform to serve advertising impressions to various digital publishers across CTV, mobile TV, desktop TV, display, and other channels. Creative services relate to the design and development of interactive data-driven and dynamic ad formats by adding data, interactivity and dynamic features to standard ad units. The Company also provides measurement services through access to a measurement application in real time or by delivery of a report. Measurement services relate to analytics of advertisements and campaigns.
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 SSP. SSP is determined using the adjusted market assessment approach and expected cost plus a margin approach.
Revenues related to ad serving services are recognized at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the contracted period in which the impressions are delivered. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Revenues related to creative services are recognized at a point in time, when the Company delivers an ad unit. Creative services projects are usually delivered within a week.
34
Revenues related to measurement services are recognized over time or at a point in time. If the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance, revenues for these measurement services are recognized over the period during which the performance obligations are satisfied and control of the service is transferred to the customer. This is the case when the customer has access to the measurement application in real time. The performance obligation is satisfied over the contract period on a straight-line basis. If the Company delivers the measurement report, the revenues are recognized at the point in time the report is delivered.
The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables related to providing ad serving, creative and measurement services, in 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 on a monthly basis based on actual delivery. The payment terms vary, mainly with terms of net 60 days or less.
The typical contract term is 12 months or less for ASC 606 purposes. Some of the Company’s contracts can be cancelled without a cause. The Company has the unconditional right to payment for the services provided as of the date of the termination of the contracts.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
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 commissions are commensurate. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. The liability-classified warrants are recorded under non-current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in “Financial expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies a fair value framework in order to measure and disclose its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
35
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, net, trade payables, employees and payroll accruals, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and current portion of long term debts. . Their historical carrying amounts are approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company measures its investments in money market funds classified as cash equivalents and warrants liability at fair value.
The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and continue to be valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of the warrants liability are recognized in “Finance expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the acquisitions. 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, but rather is subject to an 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.
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.
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.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over their useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Technology and trade name are being amortized over the estimated useful life of approximately 6 and 8 years, respectively, using straight-line amortization method. Customer relationships are being amortized over the preliminary estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using the estimated pattern of economic benefit.
The amortization of our trade name and our customer relationships will be presented within sales and marketing whereas technology amortization will be presented within cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Software development costs
Software development costs, which are included in property and equipment, net, consists of capitalized costs related to purchase and develop internal-use software. The Company uses such software to provide services to its customers. The costs to purchase and develop internal-use software are capitalized from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is considered probable that the software will be used to perform the function intended. These costs include personnel and 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
36
software, which is three years. The amortization will be presented within cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recent accounting standards, see “Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are not required to provide this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
37
Part II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently party to any legal proceedings or aware of any claims which we believe would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows, or capital levels. We may from time to time be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business.
On March 4, 2022, Nielsen, LLC filed suit against TVS in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging infringement of US Patent No. 10,063,378. TVS response to the complaint is due on June 15, 2022. The complaint has not been served, no schedule for the litigation or for trial has been set, and the plaintiff has not specified the amount sought in the litigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Innovid may not be able to effectively integrate the businesses it acquires, which may adversely affect its ability to achieve its growth and business objectives.
Innovid explores, on an ongoing basis, potential acquisitions of additional businesses, products, solutions, technologies or teams. If Innovid identifies an appropriate acquisition candidate, it may not be successful in negotiating the terms and/or financing of the acquisition, and its due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business, product, solution or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or architecture, employees or clients, regulatory compliance practices or revenue recognition or other accounting practices. Any acquisition or investment may require Innovid to use significant amounts of cash, issue potentially dilutive equity securities or incur debt, contingent liabilities or amortization of expenses, or impairment of goodwill and/or purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could harm its financial condition or results. In addition, acquisitions, including Innovid’s recent acquisitions, involve numerous risks, any of which could harm its business, including:
• difficulties or delays in integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of acquired businesses, especially if those businesses operate outside of Innovid’s core competency;
• the need to integrate operations across different geographies, cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries;
• cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into Innovid’s organization;
• ineffectiveness, lack of scalability or incompatibility of acquired technologies or services;
• potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses;
• inability to maintain the key business relationships and the reputation of acquired businesses;
• failure to successfully further develop the acquired technology in order to recoup Innovid’s investment;
• unfavorable reputation and perception of the acquired product or technology by the general public;
• diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, decreasing the time it will have to serve existing customers, attract new customers and develop new services or strategies;
• liability or litigation for activities of the acquired business, including claims from terminated employees, clients, former shareholders or other third parties;
• implementation or remediation of controls, practices, procedures and policies at acquired businesses, including the costs necessary to establish and maintain effective internal controls; and
• increased fixed costs.
38
There can be no assurance that Innovid will be able to successfully integrate the businesses that it acquires, including TVSquared, realize anticipated growth opportunities and cost synergies or that it will be able to leverage the acquired commercial relationships, products or technologies in the manner it anticipates. If Innovid is unable to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired or any business, product, solution or technology it acquires in the future, its business and results of operations could suffer, and it may not be able to achieve its business and growth objectives.
The price of our common stock and warrants was and may be volatile in the future.
The price of our common stock, as well as our warrants, fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:
•changes in the industries in which we and our customers operate;
•developments involving our competitors;
•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
•variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors in general;
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
•publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors or our industry;
•the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
•actions by stockholders, including the sale by the PIPE Investors of any of their shares of our common stock;
•additions and departures of key personnel;
•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving our company;
•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
•the volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale; and
•general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, recessions, interest rates, local and national elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other escalating global tensions that could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations.
These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants regardless of our operating performance.
39
Innovid’s estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth and projections of future financial performance may prove to be inaccurate. If such forecasts related to market growth and market opportunity prove inaccurate, Innovid may not hire or staff appropriately and its business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Innovid operates in a rapidly evolving industry. Innovid’s ability to forecast its future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including its ability to plan for and model future growth in both its business and the digital advertising market. The continued unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic trends on Innovid’s customers makes projecting growth and market opportunity particularly difficult. For example, certain industries served by Innovid have experienced growth during the COVID-19 pandemic while others have struggled. Furthermore the COVID-19 pandemic has recently led to supply chain disruptions across the globe - the impact of these disruptions on Innovid’s customers and, ultimately, their use of Innovid’s services is inherently difficult to predict and subject to rapid change. There is no guarantee that our operations will not be materially adversely affected in the future if the supply chain interruptions intensify. If the COVID-19 pandemic and other related macroeconomic trends continue for a prolonged duration, our customers may be unable to perform fully on their contracts, which will likely result in reduction in revenue. The long-term effects of COVID-19 to the global economy and to us are difficult to assess or predict and may include a further decline in the demand for our services, risks to employee health and safety, risks to the deployment of our services and reduced sales in geographic locations impacted. Innovid is subject to risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries, including challenges in forecasting accuracy, determining the appropriate nature and levels of investments, assessing appropriate returns on investments, achieving market acceptance of its existing and future offerings, managing buyer implementations, and developing new solutions. If Innovid’s assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which it regularly uses to plan, are incorrect or fail to appropriately capture market changes, or if Innovid does not address these risks successfully, its operating and financial results could differ materially from its expectations and its business could suffer. Innovid’s past revenue growth is not indicative of its future performance. In future periods, Innovid’s revenue could decline or grow more slowly than it expects. Innovid believes the growth of its revenue depends on a number of factors, including its ability to:
•attract new advertisers, and retain and expand its relationships with existing advertisers;
•leverage the growth of OTT advertising and the proliferation of OTT advertising platforms, while remaining agile to advertisers’ needs or the possibility that OTT advertisers will revert to traditional advertising modes;
•hire or staff appropriately according to its growth needs;
•broaden its solutions portfolio to include additional marketing and monetization goals for advertisers;
•adapt its offering to meet evolving needs, including to address market trends such as (i) the migration of consumers from desktop to mobile and from websites to mobile applications, (ii) the increasing percentage of sales that involve multiple digital devices, (iii) the growing adoption by consumers of “ad-blocking” software on web browsers on desktop and/or on mobile devices and the use or consumption by consumers of advertising-free services, (iv) changes in the marketplace for and supply of advertising inventory, including the shift toward header bidding, (v) changes in the overall ecosystem such as Apple’s introduction of its Intelligent Tracking Prevention feature into its Safari browser, Microsoft’s Tracking Prevention feature in its Edge browser, and Mozilla’s introduction of Enhanced Tracking Protection into its Firefox browser; and (vi) changes in consumer acceptance of tracking technologies for targeted or behavioral advertising purposes; and
•continue to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape governing data protection and privacy matters.
40
Innovid’s revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the overall demand for advertising. Factors that affect the amount of advertising spending, such as economic downturns and the COVID-19 pandemic, can make it difficult to predict Innovid’s revenue and could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Innovid’s business depends on the overall demand for advertising and on the economic health of its current and prospective advertisers. The market for internet advertising solutions is highly competitive and rapidly changing. New technologies and methods of advertising present a dynamic competitive challenge as market participants develop and offer multiple new products and services aimed at facilitating and/or capturing advertising spending. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new entrants to the market, including large established companies and companies that Innovid does not yet know about or do not yet exist, Innovid expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to increase sales and maintain its profitability. Large and established internet and technology companies may have the power to significantly change the very nature of the digital advertising marketplaces in ways that could materially disadvantage Innovid. These companies could leverage their positions to make changes to their web browsers, mobile operating systems, platforms, exchanges, networks or other solutions or services that could be significantly harmful to Innovid’s business and results of operations. These companies also have significantly larger resources than Innovid does, and in many cases have advantageous competitive positions in popular products and services like Gmail, YouTube, Chrome, Facebook and Instagram, which they can use to their advantage.
Furthermore, Innovid’s competitors include large and established internet and technology companies that have invested substantial resources in innovation, which could lead to technological advancements that change the competitive dynamics of Innovid’s business in ways that it may not be able to predict. Competition could also hinder the success of new advertising solutions that Innovid offers in the future. If any of these risks were to materialize, Innovid’s ability to compete effectively could be significantly compromised and its results of operations could be harmed. Any of these developments would make it more difficult for Innovid to sell its offerings and could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced gross margins, increased sales and marketing expense and/or the loss of market share.
Also, various macroeconomic factors could cause advertisers to reduce the advertising budgets of Innovid’s customers, including adverse economic conditions, pandemics (including COVID-19), terrorism, and general uncertainty about economic recovery or growth, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia, where Innovid does most of its business, instability in political or market conditions generally, and any changes in the tax treatment of advertising expenses and the deductibility thereof. Reductions in overall advertising spending as a result of these factors could make it difficult to predict Innovid’s revenue and could adversely affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Supply chain disruptions and concerns regarding the continued pace of economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic have led some advertisers in certain industries that have experienced supply chain issues, rising commodity prices and inventory and labor shortages to reduce advertising spending. We cannot predict how evolving events related to such macroeconomic trends following the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect advertiser behavior in the future and any reduction in advertising spending could negatively impact Innovid’s results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.
Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers or if increased prices may lead to decreased advertising spending by our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, pressure to our business generation and cost of business. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost inflation is incurred.
