Brightcove Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global provider of cloud services for video which enable its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner.

The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2004.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

Other Expense (Benefit)

Other Expense (Benefit).

Other expense (benefit), reflects other operating costs (or benefits) that do not directly relate to research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and merger related.

On March 28, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company retired. Pursuant to a Transition Agreement that was entered into by the CEO and the Company in October 2021, the Company recorded $1.1 million of expense reflecting both wages and stock compensation in the first quarter of 2022.

On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act which was amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act in December of 2020 (the "CARES Act"). The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including the creation of certain refundable employee

retention credits. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a benefit of $2.0 million from the CARES Act related to employee retention credits. The Company recognizes such government relief when it is reasonably assured that it qualifies for the relief, the underlying expense has been incurred and it is probable that the Company will receive it. Credits associated with government relief are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expense the related costs for which the relief is intended to compensate.
