Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

In the United States, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies faces significant uncertainty. At the federal level, Congress has yet to enact meaningful AI legislation. Instead, federal policy on AI has been shaped by a series of executive orders that have shifted priorities and requirements substantially depending on the administration in power. In the absence of federal AI legislation states have filled the void by enacting laws regulating different aspects of AI Technologies. For example, California has enacted laws and regulations related to AI safety protocols, reporting and transparency, among other AI-related topics. In addition, Colorado’s Artificial Intelligence Act will require developers and deployers of “high-risk” AI systems to implement certain safeguards against algorithmic discrimination (among other requirements), Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act establishes disclosure requirements and accountability measures for the use of generative AI in certain consumer interaction, and the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act prohibits the development and deployment of AI systems for certain purposes while establishing a regulatory sandbox.

We believe our corporate culture has been a critical component of our success as we believe it fosters innovation, creativity, and teamwork across our business, helping to drive our success. We intend to expand our overall headcount and operations both domestically and internationally,internationally over time, with no assurance that we will be able to do so while effectively maintaining our corporate culture. The difficulty of maintaining our culture is compounded by our entirely remote work environment, as any expansion is done without the inherent team-building features of a communal office atmosphere.

While no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our top ten customers collectively accounted for approximately 17% and 19%,20%, respectively, of our revenue for the same periods. We expect to continue to generate a significant portion of our revenue from these customers for the foreseeable future. At present, almost all of our customers are not subject to committed contracts with us. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. If any of our significant customers were to reduce or cease their usage of our platform, it may have an outsized effect on our revenue, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operation, and financial condition.

Efficiency initiatives, workforce reductions and changes to our workplace model may affect our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, result in loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, cause attrition beyond our intended reduction in force or negatively impact team members’ morale. Internal restructurings may also divert management attention from our business and may negatively impact our culture.

Our Class A common stock has one vote per share and our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the holders of our outstanding Class B common stock held 68% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, which voting power may increase over time as Mr. Douglas exercises his options that are exercisable for shares of our Class B common stock. If all such outstanding options held by Mr. Douglas had been exercised for shares of our Class B common stock as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the shares held by Mr. Douglas would represent 40% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, Mr. Douglas and our principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over us and, if acting together, will be able to control matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of our board of directors, the adoption of amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as currently in effect, the "“Certificate of Incorporation"”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (as currently in effect, the "“Bylaws"”) and the approval of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with, and in some cases may conflict with, our interests and the interests of our other stockholders. For instance, these stockholders could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if such change in control would benefit our other stockholders, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock. This concentration of ownership may also affect the prevailing market price of our common stock due to investors’ perceptions that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. As a result, this concentration of ownership may not be in your best interests.

Reworded

Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an aggregate of 61,008,79261,298,300 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding, of which 16,549,2225,257,914 was held by affiliates.

Reworded

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 10,228,91510,050,020 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $12.00$11.72 per share, 5,634,1536,004,142 of which were vested as of such date, and additional shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2025 Incentive Award Plan. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 11,810,410 shares of our Class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $3.79 per share, 4,724,164 of which were vested as of such date. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 3,955,700 shares of restricted stock that are legally issued and outstanding and votable, but are not reflected as outstanding shares on the consolidated balance sheets. Any additional shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock that we issue, including under our equity incentive plans that we may adopt in the future would dilute the percentage ownership and voting power held by the investors who purchase Class A common stock.

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions currently include, among other exemptions, that:

Reworded

We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company if (i) we have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue in any fiscal year, (ii) if we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,filer” as defined in the rules under the Exchange Act, which,which will occur ifif, as of fiscal year end, the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, we have been subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 12 calendar months and we have filed at least one Annual Report on Form 10-K, or (iii) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced reporting and other obligations described above and intend to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements in the future for so long as we are able to do so. The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company like us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt-out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies.

In this Form 10-Q, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense), net and income tax provision. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense), net and income tax provision, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants, contingent liabilities, embedded derivatives and convertible debt, acquisition costs including legal costs associated with prior acquisitions, and legal settlements, restructuring costs, and loss on debt extinguishment, which are items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 542451 full-time team members. Hiring productive and diverse talent is a key driver of our success and we expect to continue tostrategically grow headcount as our business scales. We plan to further invest in research and development to extend our data and technology lead and to enhance our platform. We also expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses to support our growth as a publicly traded company. Our headcount may increase through direct hires or through acquisitions of companies or teams.

Our revenue is primarily generated through usage-based fees from customers based on their level of ad spend on our platform, net of amounts paid to suppliers for the cost of advertising inventory. We expect our revenue to continue to increase as CTV adoption expands and more brands increase their PTV ad spend. Additionally, we generate revenue through theQuickFrame’s QuickFramead creativeproduction marketplaceservices provided to our customers, and generated revenue through Maximum Effort Marketing'sMarketing’s creative services prior to its divestiture on April 1, 2025.

Cost of Revenues

Reworded

Cost of revenues consists primarily of hosting costs, data costs, third-party service fees, production costs from contracts in which we act as the principal, and personnel costs. Personnel costs included in cost of revenues include salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation and are primarily attributable to personnel who support our platform and who design and manage the production of video ads. We capitalize costs associated with software that is developed or obtained for internal use and amortize the costs associated with our revenue-producing platform in cost of revenues over their estimated useful lives. Certain costs are relatively fixed in nature and do not necessarily fluctuate directly with the level of revenue in a given period. Although we expect that the long-term cost of revenues will remain relatively consistent as a percentage of revenues it may fluctuate from period-to-period as a result of the level and timing of costs to support our platform.

Reworded

Other Income (Expense), Income, Net. Other Income (Expense), Income, Net primarily consists of non-operating gains or losses, including fair value adjustments related to outstanding warrants, embedded derivative liabilities, convertible debt and contingent liabilities, and gains or losses on debt extinguishment.

Other expense, net primarily consists of fair value adjustments on our warrants, embedded derivatives, convertible debt and contingent liabilities, as well as a loss on the extinguishment of debt. Other expense, net decreased by $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We recognized a $26.4 million loss during the three months ended June 30, 2025 on the extinguishment of the convertible notes, when they were modified on April 1, 2025. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $4.4 million in losses due to fair value adjustments of our convertible notes carried at fair value, $5.0 million in losses due to the increase in fair value of contingent liabilities, and $0.7 million in losses due to the increase in fair value of our common stock warrants. This was offset by a $7.8 million decrease in the fair value of the Series D Warrants, which were marked to fair value immediately prior to extinguishment upon our IPO on May 23, 2025.

Added

Income Tax Provision

Added

Income tax provision increased by $0.5 million to $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to an increase in the annual effective tax rate as a result of projected taxable income, primarily driven by an increase in full-year projected pre-tax book income.

Revenue

Added

Revenue increased $23.2 million, or 17.5%, to $156.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $133.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $29.2 million in revenue generated from PTV and $1.7 million in revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 related to the expiration of unused creative credits associated with amended contracts in the period. Active PTV customers increased 27% between the periods in comparison. The increase in active PTV customers was offset by a decrease in average spend per customer as we continued to expand our overall SMB footprint, including small businesses. Additionally, creative and production revenues decreased $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, primarily due to the divestiture of Maximum Effort Marketing on April 1, 2025.

Added

Cost of revenues decreased $5.8 million, or 16.3%, to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in personnel costs driven by a 43% decrease in headcount between the periods in comparison due to the divestiture of Maximum Effort Marketing on April 1, 2025 as well as the strategic restructuring plan. Additionally, hosting expense decreased by $2.7 million primarily due to changes in vendors coupled with a decrease in platform fees of $1.3 million. Offsetting these decreases was a $1.9 million increase in amortization for internal use software due to increased disposals of obsolete internal use software in the current period as well as increased additions to capitalized software as we continued to improve our technology.

Added

Technology and Development Expense

Added

Technology and development expense increased $10.6 million, or 52.2%, to $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $8.5 million attributable to increased headcount to maintain and support further development of our platform. Technology and development headcount increased by 18% between the periods in comparison as we continued to grow our engineering team to support the growth of our product. The remaining $1.6 million increase was driven by investment in incremental tools to support the development of our platform.

Added

Sales and Marketing Expense

Added

Sales and marketing expense increased $6.3 million, or 13.7%, to $52.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due an increase in stock-based compensation of $3.0 million mainly driven by a marketing services agreement entered into during the period with a contractor, an increase in partnership commissions of $1.7 million, increased third party marketing spend of $1.3 million in order to drive customer and revenue growth, increased brand marketing spend of $0.8 million, and a $1.1 million increase in SaaS tools to support the growth of the business. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in personnel costs of $0.9 million driven by a decrease in average headcount of 2% period over period, a decline in sponsorships of $0.9 million and lower business development costs of $0.4 million.

Added

General and Administrative Expense

Added

General and administrative expense decreased $8.5 million, or 25.4%, to $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $12.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation due to the full vesting of options granted in 2021 and the forgiveness of partial recourse promissory notes with executive officers that were issued to facilitate the early exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, transaction costs decreased by $0.9 million due to costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the divestiture of Maximum Effort Marketing. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $2.1 million in legal fees primarily related to ongoing litigation, $0.5 million in professional fees and $0.5 million in insurance costs. In addition, uncollectible accounts expense increased by $0.3 million and credit card merchant fees increased by $0.4 million.

Added

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles

The determination as to whether revenue should be reported gross of amounts billed to customers (gross basis) or net of payments to suppliers (net basis) requires significant judgment and is based on our assessment of whether we are acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. We have determined that we do not act as the principal in the purchase and sale of digital advertising inventory because we do not control the advertising inventory and we do not set the price which is the result of an auction within the marketplace. Based on these and other factors, we report revenue from the sale of advertising inventory on our platform on a net basis.basis, Wewhich represents gross billings net of amounts we pay suppliers for the cost of advertising inventory and net of consideration we pay to certain advertising agencies that meet the definition of customers under ASC 606.

We bill our customers on a gross basis, inclusive of the cost of procuring the advertising inventory. We report revenue on a net basis which represents gross billings net of amounts we pay suppliers for the cost of advertising inventory and net of consideration we pay to certain advertising agencies that meet the definition of customers under ASC 606. Our accounts receivable are recorded at the amount of gross billings to customers, net of allowance, for the amounts we are responsible to collect, and our accounts payable are recorded at the amounts payable to suppliers. Accordingly, both accounts receivable and accounts payable appear large in relation to revenue reported on a net basis.
