- Full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $100 million
- Full year 2024 programmatic revenue to reflect approximately 90% of full year 2024 revenue
- Management anticipates increased Contribution ex-TAC, programmatic revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion in H2 2024 vs. H1 2024 and H2 2023, driven by enhanced sales execution and recently launched partnerships scaling.
- Management remains confident the Company will achieve CTV revenue growth for full year 2024 vs. full year 2023, with acceleration anticipated in H2 2024 vs. H1 2024 and H2 2023, driven by a broader customer shift into its premium suite of CTV solutions, and increasing CTV revenue related to its partnership with Alphonso and LG Electronics.
- Management believes the Nexxen Data Platform launch positions the Company to achieve data licensing revenue growth in full year 2024 vs. full year 2023, with further acceleration expected in 2025.
- Management believes the Company's robust suite of technology and data offerings reflect a core advantage and differentiator for Nexxen.

Management expects generative AI to reflect an important product investment focus in 2025.
Operational Highlights

- The Company launched a $50 million Ordinary Share repurchase program on May 7, 2024, which will continue until the earlier of November 1, 2024, and the date the program is completed. The program does not obligate Nexxen to repurchase any particular amount of Ordinary Shares and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion, subject to applicable law.
- From March 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, the Company (and its subsidiaries) repurchased 28,325,815 Ordinary shares, or 18.3% of shares outstanding, reflecting an investment of £96.1 million or $118.9 million.

Changes to Board of Directors

Mr. Niri will continue to serve as Nexxen's Chief Financial Officer.
- The Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the "Committee") has determined that the smaller nine-member Board, consisting of two Executive Directors and seven Non-Executive Directors, will be more flexible and efficient to support the ongoing needs of the business, and that the reduced Board size and composition is in line with Board composition practices of similar sized companies traded on the Nasdaq and AIM.
- The Committee further determined that Mr. Niri stepping down from the Board (but remaining Chief Financial Officer) is in line with best practices of Nasdaq-listed companies similar to Nexxen, where the Chief Financial Officer does not serve as a Director.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Information
In addition to our IFRS results, we review certain non-IFRS financial measures to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of investments in our technology and development and sales and marketing, and assess our operational efficiencies. These non-IFRS measures include Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net Income, and Non-IFRS Earnings per share, each of which is discussed below.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most comparable IFRS measures, and the reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Revenue to Contribution ex-TAC," "Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net Income," included as part of this press release.
- Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for Nexxen is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue and cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) minus the Performance media cost ("traffic acquisition costs" or "TAC"). Performance media cost represents the costs of purchases of impressions from publishers on a cost-per-thousand impression basis in our non-core Performance activities. Contribution ex-TAC is a supplemental measure of our financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Contribution ex-TAC should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit as a measure of financial performance. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be viewed in isolation. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the performance of Nexxen, because it facilitates a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross basis.
- Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for Nexxen as total comprehensive income (loss) for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation differences for foreign operations, foreign currency translation for subsidiary sold reclassified to profit and loss, financial expenses, net, tax expenses (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring, and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is included in the press release because it is a key metric used by management and our Board of Directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of the underlying business.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA on a Contribution ex-TAC basis.
- Non-IFRS Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings per share as non-IFRS income divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS income is equal to net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring, other expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, and also considers the tax effects of Non-IFRS adjustments. In periods in which we have non-IFRS income, non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-IFRS earnings per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance stock units, each computed using the treasury stock method. We believe non-IFRS earnings per share is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and our trends on a per share basis, and also facilitates comparison of our financial results on a per share basis with other companies, many of which present a similar non-IFRS measure. However, a potential limitation of our use of non-IFRS earnings per share is that other companies may define non-IFRS earnings per share differently, which may make comparison difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Non-IFRS earnings per share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Because of these limitations, we also consider the comparable IFRS measure of net income.
We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS financial metrics, because reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding IFRS metric.

Auditor's Review Report to the Shareholders of Nexxen International Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Nexxen International Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter - "the Company") comprising the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, the related condensed consolidated interim statements of operation and other comprehensive income for the six and three month periods then ended and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (Israel) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
