"We are off to a strong start to the year with revenue and profitability coming in ahead of expectations. We are able to drive this outperformance by focusing on innovating new features that are valued by users, globally," said co-CEO Lin Song.
"I am particularly proud of our ability to move rapidly in the area of generative AI, with our feature drops now allowing our users to run large language models locally on their own machines as an integrated experience in Opera One. As evidenced by the strong user growth of Opera GX as well as the significant lift in new iOS users in the EU following the Digital Markets Act, Opera's consumer awareness continues to grow among high-ARPU users that are increasingly looking for a differentiated alternative to system default browsers," continued Mr. Song.
First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
- Advertising revenue grew 21% year-over-year. Advertising represented 58% of total revenue. This revenue category benefitted from solid monetization performance of our browsers, as well as the expansion of our Opera Ads platform.
- Search revenue grew 14% year-over-year. The growth in search revenue continues to be driven by our focus on users with the highest monetization potential.
- Opera had 304 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the first quarter of 2024, with continued growth in high-ARPU users in North America, Europe and Latin America, offset by ongoing declines of low-ARPU users in other emerging markets.
- In the first quarter of 2024, annualized ARPU was $1.34, an increase of 24% versus the first quarter of 2023.
- The Opera GX gaming browser had 29.5 million MAUs across PC and mobile in the quarter, up 6% from 27.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Google exercised its option to extend our search agreement through 2025 on current terms.
- Opera paid a semi-annual dividend of $0.40 per ADS, translating to a total of $35.0 million at the January record date. The dividend cash distribution was $9.9 million, while the remaining $25.1 million was offset against our receivable from the sale of Star X.
- Strong operating cash flow of $31.0 million funded both the cash dividend to public shareholders and the $20.2 million in equipment purchases, predominantly related to our new AI data cluster in Iceland. Opera had $91.3 million cash at quarter end, as well as a remaining $7.8 million receivable due from the sale of our prior stake in Star X, and our stake in OPay with an estimated value of $253.3 million following our adjusted fair value estimate.
Business Outlook
"I am very pleased with the opening trajectory of 2024, and while it has only been two months since we issued our original guidance for the year, we are cautiously raising the lower end of our revenue guidance, expecting 16% year-over-year growth at the midpoint as opposed to 15% previously," said Frode Jacobsen, CFO.
"We continue to operate a healthy business that combines growth, profitability and cash generation. This allows us to continuously invest in both product R&D and marketing, in sum supporting a continued strong trajectory and our ability to seize Opera's opportunities in a rapidly evolving landscape. We are excited about the days to come," continued Mr. Jacobsen.
For the full year of 2024, Opera now guides revenue to be $454 - 465 million, an increase of 16% over 2023 at the midpoint. We guide adjusted EBITDA to be $106 - 110 million, or a 24% margin at the midpoints.
For the second quarter, we guide revenue of $107 - 109 million, or 15% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA is guided to be $22 - 25 million, or a 22% margin at the midpoints.

- Marketing and distribution expenses were $29.5 million, an increase of 21%.
- Depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.1 million, a 9% decrease.
- All other operating expenses were $7.2 million, a 16% decrease driven by a reduction in credit loss expense.
Operating profit was $19.6 million, representing a 19% margin, compared to an operating profit of $14.0 million and a margin of 16% in the first quarter of 2023.
Net finance loss was $0.1 million, consisting of foreign exchange loss, largely offset by interest income and time-value changes of our Star X receivable.
Income tax expense was $4.6 million, corresponding to 19% of adjusted EBITDA, and elevated by reduced tax assets as expressed in USD due to changes in currency exchange rates .
Net income was $14.8 million, representing a 15% margin, compared to net income of $15.5 million and a margin of 18% in the first quarter of 2023.
Basic earnings per ADS was $0.17. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding was 176.9 million in the quarter, corresponding to 88.5 million ADSs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $24.9 million, representing a 24% margin, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $21.7 million, representing a 25% margin, in the first quarter of 2023.
Operating cash flow was $31.0 million, or 125% of adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow from operations was $8.3 million net of our investment to establish a new AI data cluster, or 33% of adjusted EBITDA.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to revenue, net income (loss), net cash flow from operating activities and other financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards, we use adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow from operations to evaluate our business. We use these non-IFRS financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, and that free cash flow from operations provides useful information regarding our liquidity, including ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, and for distributions to our shareholders.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding (i) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, (ii) income tax (expense) benefit, (iii) net finance income (expense), (iv) share of net income (loss) of equity-accounted investees, (v) impairment of equity-accounted investees, (vi) fair value gain (loss) on investments, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) impairment of non-financial assets, (ix) share-based remuneration, (x) non-recurring expenses, and (xi) other operating income.
We define free cash flow from operations as net cash flows from (used in) operating activities less (i) purchases of fixed and intangible assets, (ii) development expenditure and (iii) payment of lease liabilities.
We believe adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow from operations are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. However, these non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Our calculations of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow from operations may differ from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures, if any, reported by our peers. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the full economic effects of certain items of income, expenses and cash flows. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most closely related financial measures in IFRS Accounting Standards. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow from operations in conjunction with net income (loss) and net cash flow from operating activities.
