Veritone 2025 Q3 Earnings Widened Net Loss Despite 32.4% Revenue Growth

Veritone (VERI) reported fiscal 2025 Q3 earnings on November 8, 2025, with revenue rising 32.4% year-over-year to $29.12 million. The company, however, missed EPS estimates by $0.30 and revised guidance downward, signaling ongoing financial challenges despite top-line growth.

Revenue

Veritone’s total revenue surged to $29.12 million in Q3 2025, up from $21.99 million in the prior-year period. This growth was driven by robust performance in Software Products & Services, which contributed $22.85 million, reflecting a 55% year-over-year increase led by strong adoption of the Veritone Data Refinery (VDR). Managed Services revenue, however, declined by $1 million, primarily due to reduced representation services.

Earnings/Net Income

The company narrowed its per-share loss to $0.41 from $0.57 in 2024 Q3, but its net loss widened to $26.88 million, a 23.6% increase from $21.75 million. The EPS miss of $0.30 underscores persistent profitability challenges, despite revenue growth.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

A strategy of purchasing Veritone shares on revenue-raise announcement dates and holding for 30 days generated a cumulative 128.5% return over three years, outperforming the 32.3% buy-and-hold benchmark. This historical pattern suggests revenue announcements may drive short-term price appreciation, though recent post-earnings trading has been volatile, with an 8.79% weekly decline and 13.52% monthly gain.

CEO Commentary

Veritone’s CEO highlighted progress in AI-driven analytics and enterprise expansion but acknowledged macroeconomic headwinds. The company emphasized strategic debt reduction, trimming obligations from $201 million in 2021 to $126.7 million as of September 30, 2025.

Guidance

Veritone updated Q4 and FY 2025 guidance without disclosing figures. Analysts project Q4 revenue between $33.4–$39.4 million and FY 2025 revenue between $109–$115 million.
