     Increased Revenue by 15% Year-over-Year to $140.8 Million, Driven by Global Growth in Social and CTV Measurement

    Achieved Net Income of $7.2 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $38.1 Million, representing a 27% Adjusted EBITDA margin

    DoubleVerify ("DV") (NYSE:DV), one of the leading software platforms for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    "We made solid progress across multiple growth vectors in the first quarter, ending the period above the high end of our guidance," said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. "We enhanced and scaled our independently accredited core verification and performance solutions across leading social and CTV platforms, grew the adoption and usage of Scibids AI, and expanded our international businesses through global partnerships with large new and existing advertisers, all of which drove strong revenue growth and profitability. Our solutions continue to deliver unparalleled utility and value by reducing media waste and maximizing campaign effectiveness, fostering expansion with existing customers, and attracting great new advertisers to DV."

    First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

    (All comparisons are to the first quarter of 2023)

    • Total revenue of $140.8 million, an increase of 15%.
    • Activation revenue of $79.3 million, an increase of 13%.
    • Measurement revenue of $49.3 million, an increase of 19%.
      • Social measurement revenue increased by 51%.
      • International measurement revenue increased by 40%, with EMEA growth of 44% and APAC growth of 33%.
      • Media Transactions Measured ("MTM") for CTV increased by 45%.
    • Supply-side revenue of $12.2 million, an increase of 8%.
    • Net income of $7.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $38.1 million, which represented a 27% adjusted EBITDA margin.

    First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

    • Grew Total Advertiser revenue by 16% year-over-year in the first quarter.
      • MTM increased by 18% year-over-year.
      • Measured Transaction Fee (MTF) declined 2% year over year primarily due to product mix. Measurement volumes, which are lower-priced than activation, increased relative to the prior-year period, driven by strong growth in social and international measurement.
    • Continued to achieve a Gross Revenue Retention rate of over 95% in the first quarter.
    • Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion, and new enterprise logo wins. Notable first-quarter new business wins include:
      • Expansions: Asda, Hyundai Motor Group and Audible by Amazon
      • New enterprise customer wins: McAfee, Carlsberg, and Perigo
    • Expanded brand safety and suitability measurement on Facebook and Instagram Feeds and Reels to 25 languages and extended viewability and fraud/IVT measurement coverage to Explore on Instagram.
    • Expanded brand safety and suitability measurement on TikTok to Japan and Brazil and broadened Spanish coverage to include four Central American countries where TikTok has launched.
    • Added 16 new brand safety and suitability categories to complement TikTok's latest Inventory Filters, providing advertisers with enhanced measurement insights, greater protection across sensitive topics, and the ability to meet unique, industry vertical-specific brand requirements with increased precision.
    • Expanded measurement capabilities on Amazon to offer media quality authentication on Amazon's owned and operated ad-supported OTT and CTV inventory. Brands can benefit from DV's fraud detection, in-geo measurement, and app-level suitability across devices, including desktop, mobile, and CTV. DV also enables marketers to measure Viewability and Attention across Amazon's owned and operated, ad-supported CTV inventory.
    • Partnered with Netflix to measure attention at the impression level with DV's Authentic Attention® for CTV to showcase Netflix's CTV Attention performance compared to other advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) apps and free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels.
    • Launched program-level measurement solutions with a leading streaming platform across over-the-top (OTT) devices, including CTV, to enable advertisers to measure brand safety and suitability and content performance at the program level.
    • Uncovered "FM Scam," the second significant global scheme targeting audio spending after BeatSting. FM Scam spoofs a wide range of devices and audio players and generates up to 100 million monthly requests. During their peak, FM Scam and BeatSting cost unprotected advertisers more than a million dollars per month on a combined basis.



      Accreditation and Certification Highlights:



    • Achieved Media Rating Council® (MRC) accreditation for MRC for Video Viewability in the CTV environment. DV also expanded accreditations for its CTV pre-bid data segments to include property-level brand suitability, contextual, and Fully On-screen segments.
    • First company to attain TrustArc's TRUSTe Responsible AI Certification, demonstrating DV's industry-leading commitment to AI governance and certifying its AI is valid, reliable, explainable, interpretable, accountable, transparent, privacy-enhanced, fair, safe, secure, and resilient.

    "In the first quarter, we exceeded the top end of our guidance ranges on revenue and adjusted EBITDA, achieving year-over-year revenue growth of 15% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 27% driven by continued product successes in fast-growing sectors, including Social," said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. "We are adjusting our full-year 2024 guidance ranges to 17% revenue growth, and 31% adjusted EBITDA margins at the midpoints primarily due to uneven spending patterns among select large advertisers."

    Second Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Guidance:

    DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

    Second Quarter 2024:

    • Revenue of $152 to $156 million, a year-over-year increase of 15% at the midpoint.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $41 to $45 million, representing a 28% margin at the midpoint.

    Full Year 2024:

    • Revenue of $663 to $675 million, a year-over-year increase of 17% at the midpoint.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $199 to $211 million, representing a 31% margin at the midpoint.

    With respect to the Company's expectations under "Second Quarter and Full Year 2024 Guidance" above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

    Conference Call, Webcast and Other Information

    DoubleVerify will host a conference call and live webcast to discuss its first quarter 2024 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, May 7, 2024.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    M&A and restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consist of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Scibids Technology SAS ("Scibids").

    (b)

    Offering and secondary offering costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 consist of third-party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company.

    (c)

    Other recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consist of sublease income for leased office space.

    (d)

    Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 consist of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

    We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of the core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

    These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

    • they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
    • they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;
    • they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and
    • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

    In addition, other companies in the industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.
