Company OverviewDigital Turbine, Inc. , through its subsidiaries, simplifies content discovery and delivers it directly to mobile devices. Its on-device media platform powers frictionless application and content discovery, user acquisition and engagement, operational efficiency, and monetization opportunities. ThroughMarch 31, 2021 ,Digital Turbine's technology platform has been adopted by over 35 mobile operators and device original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and has delivered more than 5.3 billion application preloads for tens of thousands of advertising campaigns. The Company operates this business as one operating and reportable segment - Media Distribution, which was previously referred to as the operating segment O&O (which refers to operators and OEMs) and the reportable segment Advertising. As the Company's suite of product offerings expands, both organically and through acquisitions, we believe that this renaming of our reporting and operating segment better reflects the way management views the business. There are no changes or historical differences to product offerings and financial information that were referred to as the Advertising segment in prior periods. While advertising, in general, remains a focus of our Media Distribution segment, we feel that this change in name more accurately conveys to the reader what we do for our customers and partners. The Company's Media Distribution business consists of products and services that simplify the discovery and delivery of mobile applications and content media for consumers. •Application Media represents the portion of the business where our platform delivers apps to end users through partnerships with carrier networks and OEMs. Application Media optimizes revenues by using developed technology to streamline, track, and manage app install demand from hundreds of application developers across various publishers, carriers, OEMs, and devices. •Content Media represents the portion of the business where our platform presents news, weather, sports, and other content directly within the native device experience (e.g., as the start page in the mobile browser, a widget, on unlock, etc.) through partnerships with carrier networks and OEMs. Content Media optimizes revenue by a combination of: •Programmatic Ad Partner Revenue - advertising within the content media that's sold on an ad exchange at a market rate (CPM - Cost Per Thousand); •Sponsored Content - sponsored content media from 3rd party content providers, presented similarly to an ad, that is monetized when a recommended story is viewed (CPC - Cost Per Click); •Editorial Content - owned or licensed media, presented similarly to an ad, that is monetized when the media is clicked on (CPC - Cost Per Click). 47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With global headquarters inAustin, Texas and offices inDurham, North Carolina ;San Francisco, California ;Arlington, Virginia ;São Paulo, Brazil ;Mexico City, Mexico ;Mumbai, India ;Singapore ; andTel Aviv, Israel ,Digital Turbine's solutions are available worldwide.

Media Distribution Business The Company's Media Distribution business is an advertiser solution for unique and exclusive carrier and OEM inventory, which is comprised of first boot and recurring life-cycle products, features, and professional services delivered through our platform. Our software platform enables mobile operators and OEMs to control, manage, and monetize devices through application installation at the time of activation and over the life of a device. The platform allows mobile operators to personalize the application activation experience for customers and monetize their home screens via revenue-share agreements such as: Cost-Per-Install (CPI), Cost-Per-Placement (CPP), and Cost-Per-Action (CPA) with third-party advertisers; or via Per-Device-License Fees (PDL) agreements, which allow operators and OEMs to leverage the platform, its products, and other features for a structured fee. Setup Wizard, Dynamic Installs, or Software Development Kit ("SDK") are the delivery methods available to operators and OEMs on first boot of the device. Additional products and features are available throughout the life-cycle of the device that provide operators and OEMs additional opportunity for media delivery revenue streams. The Company has launched its software with operators and OEMs inNorth America ,Latin America ,Europe ,Israel , andAsia-Pacific . The acquisition of Mobile Posse provides an additional platform option, outside of our core platform, to monetize user actions over the life-cycle of a device by delivering media-rich advertising content to the end user and providing operators and OEMs with an additional opportunity for revenue streams synergistic with our core platform. The Company's Media Distribution business consists of products and services that simplify the discovery and delivery of mobile applications and content media for consumers. •Application Media represents the portion of the business where our platform delivers apps to end users through partnerships with carrier networks and OEMs. Application Media optimizes revenues by using developed technology to streamline, track, and manage app install demand from hundreds of application developers across various publishers, carriers, OEMs, and devices. •Content Media represents the portion of the business where our platform presents news, weather, sports, and other content directly within the native device experience (e.g., as the start page in the mobile browser, a widget, on unlock, etc.) through partnerships with carrier networks and OEMs. Content Media optimizes revenue by a combination of: •Programmatic Ad Partner Revenue - advertising within the content media that's sold on an ad exchange at a market rate (CPM - Cost Per Thousand); 50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •Sponsored Content - sponsored content media from 3rd party content providers, presented similarly to an ad, that is monetized when a recommended story is viewed (CPC - Cost Per Click); •Editorial Content - owned or licensed media, presented similarly to an ad, that is monetized when the media is clicked on (CPC - Cost Per Click). Impact of COVID-19 on the Business Our results of operations are affected by economic conditions, including macroeconomic conditions, levels of business confidence, and consumer confidence. There is some uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and the demand for our service offerings. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operational and financial performance will depend on the impact to carriers and OEMs in relation to their sales of smartphones, tablets, and other devices. If COVID-19 continues to have a significant negative impact on global economic conditions over a prolonged period of time, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. Presently, we are conducting business as usual, with some modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of certain marketing events, among other modifications. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations, as required or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and stockholders.

The Company's Media Distribution business is an advertiser solution for unique and exclusive carrier and OEM inventory. During the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, the Media Distribution business, primarily through silent application delivery, was the main driver of our revenues. Application Media revenue totaled$217,447 and$133,898 , respectively, for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, while Content Media revenue, primarily related to the Mobile Posse acquisition onFebruary 28, 2020 , totaled$96,132 and$4,817 , respectively. Our application delivery and management software enables operators and OEMs to control, manage, and monetize applications installed at the time of activation and over the life of a device. The increase in net revenues of$83,549 related to our Application Media business was attributable to increased demand for our core services, and expanded platform offerings, which led to higher CPI and CPP revenue per available placement. Of this increase in Application Media revenue, approximately$59,900 is related to increases in demand for our core services, and approximately$23,649 is related to new and expanded platform offerings. The increase in net revenues of$91,315 related to our Content Media business, primarily from the acquisition of Mobile Posse, is a function of a full year of contribution in the current fiscal year, as opposed to one month of contribution in the previous fiscal year, as well as post acquisition technology synergies driving expansion across the existingDigital Turbine partner base. With respect to customer revenue concentration, the Company defines a customer as an advertiser or a carrier that is a distinct source of revenue and is legally bound to pay for the services that the Company delivers on the advertiser's or carrier's behalf. During the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2021 , no single customer represented more than 10% of net revenues. During the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2020 , one major customer,Oath Inc. , a subsidiary of Verizon Communications, represented 15.3% of net revenues. With respect to partner revenue concentration, the Company partners with mobile carriers and OEMs to deliver applications on our platform through the carrier network.

A reduction or delay in operating activity from these customers or partners, or a delay or default in payment by these customers, or a termination of the Company's agreements with these customers, could materially harm the Company's business and prospects. The Company is not aware of any material changes to these relationships, or material reductions or delays in operating activity with these customers or partners. Fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 During the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , revenues increased$35,146 , or 33.9%, compared to the prior year. The Company's Media Distribution business is an advertiser solution for unique and exclusive carrier and OEM inventory.

Our application delivery and management software enables operators and OEMs to control, manage, and monetize applications installed at the time of activation and over the life of a device. The increase in net revenues of$35,146 was primarily attributable to increased demand for our platform offerings, which led to higher CPI and CPP revenue per available placement.

With respect to customer revenue concentration, during the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , one major customer,Oath Inc. , a subsidiary of Verizon Communications, represented 15.3% of net revenues.

This change is a result of continued growth including the acquisitions of Mobile Posse and Appreciate. Company-wide cost control measures show the Company's ability to scale revenues at a greater rate than operating expenses.

In each case the revenue share with the carrier varies depending on the agreement with the carrier, and, in some cases, is based upon revenue tiers. License fees and revenue share for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately$178,649 and$83,588 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$95,061 or 113.7%. The increase in these costs of revenues over the comparative period was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues over the same period, as these costs are paid as a percentage of revenues. License fees and revenue share, as a percent of revenue, for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately 57% and 60%, respectively. Other direct costs of revenues are comprised primarily of hosting expense directly related to the generation of revenues, and depreciation expense accounted for under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Other direct costs of revenues for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately$2,358 and$1,454 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$904 or 62.2%. Product development expenses include the development and maintenance of the Company's product suite. Expenses in this area are primarily a function of talent. Product development expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately$20,119 and$12,018 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$8,101 or 67.4%. The increase in product development expenses over the comparative period was primarily attributable to increased product development headcount, both organic and through the acquisitions of Mobile Posse and Appreciate, and other employee-related and third-party development-related costs as the Company continues to scale its product development organization to support the Company's growth. Sales and marketing expenses represent the costs of sales and marketing talent, advertising and marketing campaigns, and campaign management. Sales and marketing expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately$19,304 and$11,244 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$8,060 or 71.7%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses over the comparative period was primarily attributable to the addition of new talent in existing markets related to the Company's continued expansion of its global footprint and increased commissions associated with the sales team generating more revenue through new and existing advertising relationships and markets. 54 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General and administrative expenses represent management, finance, and support talent costs in both the parent and subsidiary companies, which include professional and consulting costs, in addition to other costs such as rent, stock-based compensation, and depreciation expense. General and administrative expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately$33,940 and$17,199 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$16,741 or 97.3%. The increase over the comparative period is primarily attributable to employee-related expenses as a function of higher headcount, increased stock option expense, increases in depreciation and amortization related to capitalized internal-use software and intangible assets, and expenses incurred for the acquisitions of Mobile Posse and Appreciate. Fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 Total operating expenses for the fiscal years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately$125,503 and$100,124 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$25,379 or 25.3%. This change is a result of continued growth including the acquisition of Mobile Posse. Company-wide cost control measures show the Company's ability to scale revenues at a greater rate than operating expenses. License fees and revenue share is reflective of amounts paid to our carrier and OEM partners who drive the revenues generated from advertising via direct CPI, CPP, or CPA arrangements with application developers, or indirect arrangements through advertising aggregators (ad networks) are shared with the carrier and the shared revenue is recorded as a cost of revenue.

Other direct costs of revenues for the years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately$1,454 and$2,023 , respectively, representing a year-over-year decrease of approximately$569 or 28.1%. Product development expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately$12,018 and$10,876 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$1,142 or 10.5%. The increase in costs over the comparative period is primarily a function of talent hired during fiscal year 2020 and hosting expenses associated with development activity. Sales and marketing expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately$11,244 and$8,212 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$3,032 or 36.9%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses over the comparative period is primarily attributable to increased travel expenses for existing talent, the addition of new talent in existing markets related to the Company's continued expansion of its global footprint, and increased commissions associated with the sales team generating more revenue through new and existing advertising relationships and markets. General and administrative expenses for the years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately$17,199 and$13,032 , respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately$4,167 or 32.0%.

This change in total interest and other income / (expense), net, was primarily attributable to changes in interest income / (expense), fair value of warrant liability, and estimated contingent consideration related to the Mobile Posse acquisition. The change in fair value of warrant liability was due to all holders of the remaining outstanding warrants exercising all outstanding warrants during the year endedMarch 31, 2020 . Fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 Total interest and other income / (expense), net, for the years endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were$(9,307) and$(7,278) , respectively, an increase in net expenses of$2,029 or 27.9%. This change in total interest and other income / (expense), net, was primarily attributable to changes in interest income / (expense), fair value of convertible note embedded derivative liability, and fair value of warrant liability. The changes in fair values of the convertible note embedded derivative liability and warrant liability were due to the change in the Company's stock price from$3.50 atMarch 31, 2019 to$4.18 atMarch 31, 2020 , partially offset by the settling of all of the remaining derivative instruments during the fiscal year. Interest income / (expense) In the year endedMarch 31, 2021 , interest expense was attributable to 1) fees related to obtaining debt, which were recorded as debt issuance costs and expensed as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt; 2) interest expense incurred on the prior credit agreement withWestern Alliance Bank , which was the previous senior credit facility of the Company that was terminated onFebruary 3, 2021 , at approximately 5.5% (LIBOR + 3.75% with a 1.75% LIBOR floor); and 3) interest expense incurred under the BoA Credit Agreement at an annual rate equal to LIBOR (or, if necessary, a broadly-adopted replacement index) plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.25%, depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , interest expense was attributable to 1) fees related to obtaining debt, which were recorded as debt issuance costs and expensed as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt; and 2) interest expense incurred on the prior credit agreement withWestern Alliance Bank , which was the previous senior credit facility of the Company that was terminated onFebruary 3, 2021 , at approximately 5.5% (LIBOR + 3.75% with a 1.75% LIBOR floor). During the majority of the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , the Company had no outstanding debt and incurred no interest expense. In the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , interest expense was primarily attributable to 1) fees related to the obtaining debt, which were recorded as debt issuance costs and expensed as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt; 2) interest expense incurred from the$16,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Convertible Notes due 2020 (the "Notes"), issued onSeptember 28, 2016 ; 3) from amounts drawn on our business finance agreement (the "Credit Agreement") withWestern Alliance Bank (the "Bank") at approximately 6.75% (Wall Street Journal Prime Rate + 0.50%); and 4) amortization of debt discount related to the Notes, which were expensed as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt. 56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income consists of interest income earned on our cash. The Company recorded$(1,003) ,$41 , and$(1,120) of aggregate interest income / (expense), inclusive of debt discount and debt issuance costs amortization, during the years endedMarch 31, 2021 , 2020, and 2019, respectively. Change in fair value of convertible note embedded derivative liability The Company accounts for the convertible note embedded derivative liability issued in accordance with US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 815 applicable to derivative instruments, which requires every derivative instrument within its scope to be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. All convertible notes were settled prior to the year endedMarch 31, 2020 and therefore no amounts associated with this derivative liability were recognized in the year endedMarch 31, 2021 or 2020. During the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , the Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of convertible note embedded derivative liability of$1,008 due to the increase of the Company's stock price from$2.01 atMarch 31, 2018 to$3.50 atMarch 31, 2019 , partially offset by the settling of$5,700 of the underlying debt instruments. Change in fair value of warrant liability The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the above-noted sale of Notes in accordance with US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 815 applicable to derivative instruments, which requires every derivative instrument within its scope to be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Based on this guidance, the Company determined that these warrants did not meet the criteria for classification as equity. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as long-term liabilities. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of other income / (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income / (Loss). Due to the valuation of the derivative liability being highly sensitive to the trading price of the Company's stock, the increase and decrease in the trading price of the Company's stock has the impact of increasing the (loss) and gain, respectively. All warrants related to these Notes were exercised during the year endedMarch 31, 2020 and the associated liability settled. During the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , the Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of warrant liability of$9,580 due to the increase of the Company's stock price from$3.50 atMarch 31, 2019 to$4.18 atMarch 31, 2020 , partially offset by the exercise of all remaining warrants. During the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , the Company recorded a loss from change in fair value of warrant liability of$4,875 due to the increase of the Company's stock price from$2.01 atMarch 31, 2018 to$3.50 atMarch 31, 2019 , partially offset by the exercise of 484,900 warrants. Change in estimated contingent consideration OnFebruary 28, 2020 , the Company completed the acquisition of Mobile Posse, pursuant to the previously-reported stock purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") withACME Mobile, LLC ("ACME"), Mobile Posse, and certain equity holders of ACME. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Mobile Posse in exchange for an estimated total consideration of: (1)$41,500 in cash paid at closing (subject to customary closing purchase price adjustments) and (2) an estimated earn-out of$23,735 , to be paid in cash, based on Mobile Posse achieving certain future target net revenues, less associated revenue shares, over a twelve-month period following the closing of the acquisition, noting that the earn-out amount is subject to change based on final results and calculation. Under the terms of the earn-out, over the earn-out period, the Company paid ACME a certain percentage of actual net revenues (less associated revenue shares) of Mobile Posse, depending on the extent to which Mobile Posse achieved certain target net revenues (less associated revenue shares) for the relevant period. Due to the financial results of Mobile Posse during the earn-out period, in addition to the initial estimated contingent consideration of$23,735 , the Company made additional earn-out payments in the amount of$15,751 during the year endedMarch 31, 2021 . The earn-out period concluded during the year endedMarch 31, 2021 . 57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loss on extinguishment of debt During the year endedMarch 31, 2021 , connected with the early termination of theWestern Alliance credit agreement, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of$452 , which represents the write-off of all remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to theWestern Alliance credit agreement, as well as cash expenses incurred for the early extinguishment of the credit facility. No loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded during the year endedMarch 31, 2020 . During the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , connected with the settlement of a portion of the convertible notes, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of$431 , which represents the difference between the carrying value of the settled debt (including underlying derivative instruments) and the consideration given to settle the debt, in this case primarily stock. Income taxes Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 requires the consideration of a valuation allowance, on a jurisdictional basis, to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the year endedMarch 31, 2021 , the Company's pre-tax income in theU.S. continued to increase such that the Company was no longer in a cumulative three-year loss position. Following the acquisition and integration of Mobile Posse, the Company was able to sustain this pre-tax income position throughout the full fiscal year. In the fourth quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , based on management's assessment of this income trend following the integration of Mobile Posse, we determined that theU.S. deferred tax assets were more likely than not realizable based on expected future taxable income. A net tax benefit of$11,782 was realized in the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2021 as a result of the release of theU.S. valuation allowance. As part of the stock acquisition of Mobile Posse onFebruary 28, 2020 , the Company recorded a netU.S. deferred tax liability of$10,552 on the opening balance sheet. The deferred tax liability primarily related to intangible assets recorded at fair market value for financial accounting purposes compared to the carryover of historical tax basis. The acquired deferred tax liabilities represent a source of positive evidence with respect to the Company's ability to realize deferred tax assets. In accordance with ASC 805-740-30-3, a change in the acquirer's valuation allowance as a result of a business combination is recorded as a component of income tax expense. As a result of the business combination, the Company released$10,552 of valuation allowance as a component of income tax expense in the year endedMarch 31, 2020 . The Company's income is subject to taxation in both theU.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes liabilities for income tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These liabilities for tax contingencies are established when the Company believes that a tax position is not more likely than not sustainable. The Company adjusts these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or lapse of a statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of uncertain tax liabilities and changes in liabilities that are considered appropriate. The Company's effective tax rate differs from theU.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of changes in valuation allowance, tax deductions in excess of book for stock compensation, nondeductible changes in stock acquisition earn-out and warrant liabilities, and state income taxes. 58 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The obligations under the BoA Credit Agreement are secured by a grant of a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The BoA Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, representations, and events of default, and also requires the Company to comply with a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. AtMarch 31, 2021 , there was$15,000 outstanding principal on the BoA Credit Agreement and the Company had$85,000 available to draw.April 2021 Credit Facility Subsequent to year end, onApril 29, 2021 , the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") withBank of America, N.A ., as a lender and administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which provides for a revolving line of credit of$400,000 to be used for working capital, permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other lawful corporate purposes.DT Media and DT USA are additional co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and Mobile Posse is a guarantor (together with the Company,DT Media and DT USA , collectively, the "Loan Parties"). This modification replaced the existing BoA Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that permits an increase of the revolver by up to$75,000 plus an amount that would enable the Loan Parties to remain in compliance with a consolidated secured net leverage ratio, on such terms as agreed to by the parties. The revolving line of credit matures onApril 29, 2026 . Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company's election, (i) LIBOR plus between 1.50% and 2.25% based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) a base rate determined based upon the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b)Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus between 0.50% and 1.25% based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, representations and events of default, and also requires the Company to comply with a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. The Loan Parties' payment and performance obligations under the New Credit Agreement and related loan documents are secured by their grant of a security interest in substantially all of their personal property assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, subject to certain exclusions. If the Loan Parties acquire any real property assets with a fair market value in excess of$5,000 , they are required to grant a security interest in such real property as well.

During the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , cash used in investing activities was approximately$46,717 , which includes capital expenditures of$4,845 , comprised mostly of internally-developed software, and the acquisition of Mobile Posse, net of cash, for$41,872 . 61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , cash used in investing activities was approximately$2,314 , which includes capital expenditures of$2,314 , comprised mostly of internally-developed software. Financing Activities During the year endedMarch 31, 2021 , cash used in financing activities was approximately$15,216 , which is primarily attributable to proceeds from borrowings of$15,000 and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of approximately$7,209 , offset by the payment of debt issuance costs of$469 , payment of contingent consideration of$16,956 , and repayment of debt obligations of$20,000 . During the year endedMarch 31, 2020 , cash provided by financing activities was approximately$26,175 , which is primarily attributable to proceeds from borrowings of$20,000 and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants of approximately$6,488 , offset by payment of debt issuance costs of$313 . During the year endedMarch 31, 2019 , cash used in financing activities was approximately$916 , which is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants of approximately$734 , offset by the repayment of debt obligations of approximately$1,650 . Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We believe, therefore, that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risks that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships. Contractual Cash Obligations The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations atMarch 31, 2021 : Payments Due by Period Contractual cash obligations Total Less Than 1 1-3 Years 3 to 5 Years More Than 5 Year Years Operating leases (a)$ 7,027 $ 1,716 $ 3,242 $ 2,069 $ - Debt repayments 15,000 15,000 - - - Bank fees 450 150 300 - - Uncertain tax positions (b) - - - - - Total contractual cash obligations$ 22,477 $ 16,866
(a)Consists of operating leases for our office facilities. (b)We have approximately$1,077 in additional liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions that are not expected to be liquidated within the next twelve months. We are unable to reliably estimate the expected payment dates for these additional non-current liabilities. Cash Contractual Obligations Associated with Acquisitions Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement for the acquisition ofAdColony , we must pay$100,000 in cash on or beforeOctober 29, 2021 and an earn-out payment estimated between$150,000 to$175,000 in cash followingDecember 31, 2021 . In addition, under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Fyber, we must pay the tender offer consideration in cash and make a potential earn-out payment of up to$50,000 , which may be paid in shares of our common stock or, under certain circumstances, in cash. OnApril 29, 2021 , we entered into the New Credit Agreement and borrowed approximately$107,000 on the revolver on that date, and we borrowed an additional$130,000 on the revolver onMay 25, 2021 to fund the cash closing payments for theAdColony and Fyber acquisitions. In order to fund the future cash payments due in respect of theAdColony and Fyber acquisitions, we will need to use cash flows from operations and borrowings under the New Credit Agreement and may need to access the capital markets. If our cash flows and borrowings under our revolving credit facility are not available for any reason, we would need to seek funds from the capital markets. 62 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Critical Accounting Policies The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, litigation, and goodwill and intangible assets acquired from our acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of theSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for annual financial statements. The financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company for each period presented. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. Carriers and OEMs As discussed above, contracts with carriers and OEMs are created to help the customer control, manage, and monetize the mobile device through the marketing of application slots or advertisement space/inventory to advertisers and delivering the applications or advertisements to the mobile device. The Company generally offers these services under a revenue share model or, to a lesser extent, a customer contract per-device license fee model for a two-to-four year software as a service ("SaaS") license agreement. These agreements typically include the following services: the access to a SaaS platform, hosting, solution features, and general support and maintenance. The Company has concluded that each promised service is delivered concurrently, interdependently, and continuously with all other promised services over the contract term and, as such, has concluded these promises are a single performance obligation that is delivered to the customer over a series of distinct service periods over the contract term. The Company meets the criteria for overtime recognition because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs, and the same method would be used to measure progress over each distinct service period. The fees for such services are not known at contract inception, but are measurable during each distinct service period. The Company's contracts do not include advance non-refundable fees. The Company's fees for these services are based upon a revenue-share arrangement with the carrier or OEM. Both parties have agreed to share the revenue earned from third-party advertisers, discussed below, for these services. 63 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third-Party AdvertisersApplication Management Software The Company generally offers these services under customer contract Cost-Per-Install or CPI arrangements, Cost-Per-Placement or CPP arrangements, and/or Cost-Per-Action or CPA arrangements with third-party advertisers and developers, as well as advertising aggregators, generally in the form of insertion orders that specify the type of arrangement (as detailed above) at particular set budget amounts/restraints. These advertiser customer contracts are generally short-term in nature, at less than one year, as the budget amounts are typically spent in full within this time period. These agreements typically include the delivery of applications to home screens of mobile devices. Access to inventory of application slots is allocated by carriers or OEMs in the contracts identified above. The Company controls these application slots and markets it on behalf of the carriers and OEMs to the advertisers. The Company has concluded that the performance obligation within the contract is complete upon delivery of the application to the device. Revenue recognition related to CPI and CPA arrangements is dependent upon an action of the end user. As a result, the transaction price is variable and is fully constrained until an install or action occurs.Programmatic Advertising and Targeted Media DeliveryThe Company generally offers these services under cost-per-thousand impression arrangements and page-view arrangements. Through its mobile phone first screen applications and mobile web portals, the Company markets ad space/inventory within its content products for display advertising. The ad space/inventory is allocated to the Company through arrangement with the carrier or OEM in the contracts discussed above. The Company controls this ad space/inventory and markets it on behalf of the carriers and OEMs to the advertisers. The Company's advertising customers can bid on each individual display ad and the highest bid wins the right to fill each ad impression. Advertising agencies acting on the behalf of advertisers bid on the ad placement via the Company's advertising exchange customers. When the bid is won, the ad will be received and placed on the mobile device by the Company. The entire process happens almost instantaneously and on a continuous basis. The advertising exchanges bill and collect from the winning bidders and provide daily and monthly reports of the activity to the Company. The Company has concluded that the performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time upon delivery of the advertisement to the device based on the impressions or page-view arrangement, as defined in the contract. Through its mobile phone first screen applications and mobile web portals, the Company's software platform also recommends sponsored content to mobile phone users and drives web traffic to a customer's website. The Company markets this content to content sponsors, such as Outbrain orTaboola , similarly to the marketing of ad space/inventory. This sponsored content takes the form of articles, graphics, pictures, and similar content. The Company has concluded that the performance obligation within the contract is complete upon delivery of the content to the mobile device. Gross vs Net Reporting The Company has determined that it is the primary obligor for its advertiser services for application management and programmatic advertising and targeted media delivery when it controls the application slots or ad space/inventory. This is because it has been allocated such slots or space from the carrier or OEM and is responsible for marketing or monetizing the slots or space. The advertisers look to the Company to acquire such slots or space, and the Company's software is used to deliver the applications, ads or content to the mobile device. The Company also may manage application or ad campaigns of advertisers associated with these services. If the applications or advertisements are not delivered to the mobile device or the Company doesn't comply with certain policies of the advertiser, the Company would be responsible and have to indemnify the customer for these issues. The Company also has discretion in setting the price of the slots or space based on market conditions, collects the transaction prices, and remits the revenue-share percentage of the transaction price to the carrier or OEM.The Company recognizes the transaction price received from advertisers, content providers, or websites gross and the carrier or OEM share of such transaction price as costs of revenues - license fees and revenue share - in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income / (Loss). The carrier or OEM may have the right to market and sell application slots or ad space to advertisers using the Company's software. The carrier or OEM will share revenue with the Company when it does so. The Company recognizes the revenue shared by the carrier or OEM on a net basis as the Company is not considered the primary obligor in these transactions. 64 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains reserves for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Software Development Costs The Company applies the principles of FASB ASC 985-20, Accounting for the Costs ofComputer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed ("ASC 985-20"). ASC 985-20 requires that software development costs incurred in conjunction with product development be charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, until the product is released for sale, software development costs must be capitalized and reported at the lower of the unamortized cost or net realizable value of the related product. At this time, we do not invest significant capital into the research and development phase of new products and features as the technological feasibility aspect of our platform products has either already been met or is met very quickly. The Company has adopted the "tested working model" approach to establishing technological feasibility for its products. Under this approach, the Company does not consider a product in development to have passed the technological feasibility milestone until the Company has completed a model of the product that contains essentially all the functionality and features of the final product and has tested the model to ensure that it works as expected. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether costs can be capitalized: the emerging nature of the mobile market; the gradual evolution of the wireless carrier platforms and devices for which it develops products; the lack of pre-orders or sales history for its products; the uncertainty regarding a product's revenue-generating potential; its lack of control over the carrier distribution channel resulting in uncertainty as to when, if ever, a product will be available for sale; and its historical practice of canceling products at any stage of the development process. After products and features are released, all product maintenance cost are expensed. The Company also applies the principles of FASB ASC 350-40, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use ("ASC 350-40"). ASC 350-40 requires that software development costs incurred before the preliminary project stage be expensed as incurred. We capitalize development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10"), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under ASC 740-10, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, along with net operating losses, if it is more likely than not the tax benefits will be realized using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse. To the extent a deferred tax asset cannot be recognized, a valuation allowance is established, if necessary. The Company is required to evaluate its ability to realize its deferred tax assets using all available evidence, both positive and negative, and determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Further, ASC 740-10-30-18 outlines the four possible sources of taxable income that may be available to realize a tax benefit for deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards. The sources of taxable income are listed below from least to most subjective: •Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences •Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards •Taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if carryback is permitted under the tax law •Tax-planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented to, for example: •Accelerate taxable amounts to utilize expiring carryforwards •Change the character of taxable or deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss •Switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments 65 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASC 740-10 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of the tax benefits, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company's income is subject to taxation in boththe United States and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes reserves for income tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves for tax contingencies are established when the Company believes that positions do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company adjusts uncertain tax liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit or lapse of a statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of uncertain tax liabilities and changes in liabilities that are considered appropriate. Stock-Based Compensation We have applied FASB ASC 718, Share-Based Payment ("ASC 718"), and, accordingly, we record stock-based compensation expense for all of our stock-based awards. Under ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense recognized represents the expense associated with the stock options we expect to vest, based on an estimated rate of forfeitures. This rate of forfeitures is updated, as necessary, and any adjustments needed to recognize the fair value of options that vest or are forfeited are recorded. The Black-Scholes model, used to estimate the fair value of an award, requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, interest rates, dividend rates, and an option's expected life. As a result, the financial statements include amounts that are based on our best estimates and judgments for the expenses recognized for stock-based compensation. Business Combinations We allocate 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. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, estimated replacement costs and future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, acquired patents, and acquired trade names from a market participant perspective. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Allocation of purchase consideration to identifiable assets and liabilities affects Company amortization expense, as acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the useful life, whereas any indefinite lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the value assigned to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is not amortized to expense, but rather they are evaluated, at least on an annual basis, to determine if there are potential impairments. For goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, we complete what is referred to as the "Step 0" analysis, which involves evaluating qualitative factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and overall financial performance. If our "Step 0" analysis indicates it is more likely than not the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we would perform a quantitative two-step impairment test. 66
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quantitative analysis compares the fair value of our reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying amounts and an impairment loss is recognized equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, market multiples, or appraised values, as appropriate. Discounted cash flow analysis requires assumptions about the timing and amount of future cash inflows and outflows, risk, the cost of capital, and terminal values. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value of the intangible asset. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management's judgment. Any changes in key assumptions about the Company's businesses and their prospects, or changes in market conditions, could result in an impairment charge. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the intangible asset valuation process include: the timing and amount of projected future cash flows; the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset's life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal or regulatory trends. In the years endedMarch 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of goodwill. See Note "Goodwill" to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report. In performing the related valuation analyses, the Company used various valuation methodologies including probability-weighted discounted cash flows, comparable transaction analysis, and market capitalization and comparable company multiple comparison. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recent accounting pronouncements are detailed in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
