License fees and revenue share increased at a greater rate than revenues (**328.3%** vs **264.3%**) because the acquired businesses have higher contractual revenue share percentages than the legacy business[141](index=141&type=chunk) - General and administrative expenses increased **242.4%** due to higher headcount, increased bonus accruals, and amortization of intangible assets from the AdColony and Fyber acquisitions[146](index=146&type=chunk) [Liquidity and Capital Resources](index=29&type=section&id=MD%26A%20-%20Liquidity%20and%20Capital%20Resources) Liquidity sources include **$84.0 million** cash and **$162.9 million** credit facility availability, offset by significant future acquisition payment obligations -

As foreign operations expand, results may be more impacted by exchange rate fluctuations[169](index=169&type=chunk) [Controls and Procedures](index=32&type=section&id=ITEM%204.%20CONTROLS%20AND%20PROCEDURES) Management concluded disclosure controls were effective, while integrating new acquisitions into internal control over financial reporting -

None[174](index=174&type=chunk) [Risk Factors](index=33&type=section&id=ITEM%201A.%20RISK%20FACTORS) The company faces significant risks from integrating acquisitions, intense competition, data privacy regulations, and substantial new debt [General Company Risks](index=35&type=section&id=General%20Company%20Risks) General risks include challenges in integrating recent acquisitions, managing growth, meeting future payment obligations, and revenue concentration from limited partners - The failure to successfully integrate the recent acquisitions of Appreciate, AdColony, and Fyber may adversely affect future results[204](index=204&type=chunk) - The company must pay **$100.0 million** in cash by October 29, 2021, and an estimated earn-out of **$200.0 to $225.0 million** for the AdColony acquisition, posing a financial risk if funds are not available[208](index=208&type=chunk) - A significant portion of Media Distribution business revenue is derived from a limited number of wireless carriers, and the loss of any relationship could materially harm the business[220](index=220&type=chunk)[221](index=221&type=chunk) [Risks Related to the Mobile Advertising Industry Generally](index=42&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20the%20Mobile%20Advertising%20Industry%20Generally) Risks include intense competition, dependence on mobile operating systems, potential data access restrictions (e.g., IDFA changes), and ad-blocking technologies - The mobile advertising industry is intensely competitive, with competition from large, well-established companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, as well as internally-developed solutions by operators and OEMs[232](index=232&type=chunk)[233](index=233&type=chunk)[234](index=234&type=chunk) - The business is highly dependent on decisions by third parties that control mobile operating systems, such as Google (Android) and Apple (iOS), which could prevent or impair the company's advertising services[243](index=243&type=chunk)[269](index=269&type=chunk) - Restrictions on the use of third-party cookies and mobile device identifiers (like Apple's IDFA) could significantly harm performance, as these are crucial for ad targeting, measurement, and effectiveness[286](index=286&type=chunk)[291](index=291&type=chunk) [Industry Regulatory Risks](index=54&type=section&id=Industry%20Regulatory%20Risks) The company faces significant compliance costs and risks from stringent global data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) and international anti-corruption regulations - The company is subject to stringent data privacy laws like GDPR and the UK GDPR, which carry fines of up to **4% of global turnover** for non-compliance and restrict cross-border data transfers[306](index=306&type=chunk)[309](index=309&type=chunk) - The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the upcoming California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) create new consumer rights and obligations that increase compliance costs and may restrict the use of personal information for advertising[311](index=311&type=chunk)[312](index=312&type=chunk) - Due to global operations, the company is subject to anti-bribery laws like the FCPA and economic sanctions regulations, which could lead to significant penalties if violated[327](index=327&type=chunk)[331](index=331&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Capital Structure](index=65&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Common%20Stock%20and%20Capital%20Structure) Significant secured debt limits financial flexibility, future capital needs may dilute stockholders, and failure to maintain internal controls could impact stock price - The company has **$237.1 million** in outstanding secured indebtedness as of June 30, 2021, which could limit financial flexibility and requires a significant amount of cash to service[385](index=385&type=chunk) - Future payments for acquisitions may require raising additional capital, potentially through equity financing, which could dilute existing stockholders[395](index=395&type=chunk)[396](index=396&type=chunk) - Failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls, especially with the complexity of recent acquisitions, could lead to inaccurate financial reporting and a negative impact on the stock price[403](index=403&type=chunk)[404](index=404&type=chunk)
