The unaudited pro forma results give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018.

COVID-19 Response

To ensure the health and safety of its employees, VERB has restricted all non-essential travel indefinitely and has instituted a mandatory work-from-home policy for most of its workforce. The Company is closely monitoring the evolving global pandemic response efforts through all available information channels, including the latest news reports as well as updates from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other regulatory authorities.

In recognition of the current environment, and to support continued Company operations and maximized workforce retention, on February 5, 2020, the Company initiated a private placement for the sale and issuance of up to five million restricted shares of its Common Stock at a per-share price of $1.20. As a result of this private placement, from February 25 through March 31, 2020, a total of 4,237,833 shares of Common Stock were subscribed. Total subscribed shares of 3,392,833 shares of Common Stock were issued with net cash proceeds of $3.4 million after direct costs received as of March 31, 2020. The remaining 845,000 subscribed shares of Common Stock were issued as funds were received from overseas investors in April and May 2020 for additional net cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.

On April 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management’s COVID-19 Full Employment and Cash Preservation Plan, pursuant to which all directors and senior level management reduced their cash compensation by 25% and all other employees and consultants reduced their cash compensation by 20% for a period of three months from April 16, 2020 through July 15, 2020 for one category of plan participants, and April 26, 2020 through July 18, 2020 for the other category of participants. The amount of the reduction in cash compensation is to be paid in shares of VERB’s common stock through an allocation of shares from the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and granted pursuant to stock award agreements entered into effective as of April 10, 2020 between the Company and each of its directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants.

On April 17, 2020, the Company also received loan proceeds of $1.2 million under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) being administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). To comply with the terms of the CARES Act, the funds will primarily be used for payroll costs. During the first six months of the term note agreement, neither principal nor interest shall be due or payable. Additionally, should the Company meet certain qualifications under the program, a percentage up to and including as much or more than $1 million of the loan could be forgiven.

Management Commentary

“2019 was a transformational year for VERB, and we entered 2020 with significant operating momentum, specifically within our high-growth, SaaS recurring revenue business,” said Company CEO Rory J. Cutaia, “In the first quarter we officially crossed the million-dollar mark in subscription-based quarterly recurring revenue, and surpassed non-digital revenue as the largest component of the Company’s total revenue. We also set a record for app downloads by users which now exceed 1.4 million – up 150% over the past 12 months. The addition of 26 new enterprise clients over the past two quarters, half of which are not in the direct sales sector, is a testament to the successful execution of our growth strategies. More specifically, we are continuing to introduce ground-breaking, disruptive, new products and features, such as verbLIVE, our interactive video webinar product, and the in-app purchase capabilities we’re deploying across our platform. Through our own app store ecosystem, third party developers can offer exciting new products to our users, which is designed to more effectively monetize our large user base.

“In order to make sure we de-risked our exposure to the COVID-19 economic downturn, we enacted our Full Employment and Cash Preservation Plan, which should result in cash savings to our Company of nearly $600,000 and allow us to maintain our entire workforce. Additionally, through a well-timed private placement and other recent funding, we successfully raised another $6 million to support our operations for the foreseeable future.

“Looking ahead to the second quarter and beyond, we’ve developed and have already executed a plan to maximize revenue from our legacy welcome kit printing and marketing merchandise fulfillment business, at no cost to VERB, through a revenue share arrangement with a company who specializes in performing these services and who can guarantee service continuity for our clients. Through this plan, we will be able to guarantee net revenue and pure margin from every sale.

“More recently, we commenced local operations in Japan through a Tokyo-based corporation with a team with over 30-years’ experience. We believe the in-country sales, support, and customer service we can provide through native language speaking staff in Japan represents a significant opportunity for us to grow our applications subscription business and enhance our clients’ Japan initiatives. Since we began operations, we have already executed verbCRM subscription agreements with six Japanese enterprise clients, and we are currently exploring a similar expansion opportunity in Korea, which represents the third largest direct sales market in the world.

“In addition to our global expansion initiatives, we have several other revenue catalysts planned for this year. We’ve begun the limited release of verbLIVE, our groundbreaking interactive video-based live stream webinar and video conferencing platform. Given the current work-from-home and social distancing environment in which we all find ourselves, we believe this new addition to our platform may be the biggest source of revenue growth for our company this year and beyond. As more and more organizations, particularly SMBs, are scrambling to provide infrastructure for remote work, verbLIVE can provide for many of those now-vital needs. We are also making great progress on the eventual launch of our VERB app store and plan on releasing an open API for developers to help build out our eco-system, which should provide a material, positive impact to our ARPU metrics spread across our 1.4 million users.

“While we are continuing to navigate through uncharted territory, we are confident that the swift and decisive actions we’ve taken will allow us to continue our operations and support our long-term growth efforts. As a SaaS-based applications provider with best-in-class and market-relevant tools, we are uniquely well positioned to benefit from potential macroeconomic disruption caused by the ongoing shift in how business is being conducted.”

About VERB

VERB Technology Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERB) is a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our Customer Relationship Management application; verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application; and verbLIVE, our Live Broadcast Video Webinar application.

Our suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary interactive video technology as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their customers and prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users in real time, on their device, when and for how long the prospects watched the video, how many times they watched it, and what they clicked-on, prompting the user to focus his or her time and efforts on hot leads or interested prospects rather than on those that have not seen the video or otherwise expressed interest in the content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive ‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more efficient and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video technology, as well as several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the unique foundation for all of our platform applications.

With offices in California and Utah, we provide subscription-based application services to approximately 100 enterprise clients for use in over 60 countries, in over 48 languages, which collectively account for a user base generated through more than 1.3 million downloads of our verbCRM application. Our technology is also being integrated into popular ERP, CRM, and marketing platforms offered by third-party developers, including Salesforce and Microsoft, among others.
