DoubleVerify Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Increased Revenue by 17% Year-over-Year to $155.9 Million, Driven by Global Growth in Social and CTV Measurement

Achieved Net Income of $7.5 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $46.8 Million, representing a 30% Adjusted EBITDA margin

Raised Midpoints of Full-Year 2024 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Ranges

NEW YORK – July 30, 2024 – DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), the leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“The second quarter was pivotal for DV as we re-accelerated our revenue growth momentum driven by continued success in social and CTV measurement, and bolstered by the strength of our retail media platform business,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Our broad portfolio of differentiated products, including our latest performance solutions, Scibids AI and Authentic Attention, helped deliver double-digit growth across all three revenue lines and all key media environments. Our enterprise pipeline has never been stronger, with both greenfield and competitive opportunities set to fuel our resurgent business in the coming quarters. DV’s independent solutions provide unparalleled ROI for our customers, allowing us to continue to gain significant market share, solidifying our position as the industry leader and driving higher value for all our stakeholders.”

Activation revenue of $87.5 million, an increase of 12%.

Net income of $7.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $46.8 million, which represented a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

Grew Total Advertiser revenue by 16% year-over-year in the second quarter.

MTM increased by 22% year-over-year.
Measured Transaction Fee (MTF) declined 5% year-over-year primarily due to product and geographic 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 second quarter.

Announced authorization of the repurchase of $150 million common stock. Repurchased 1.4 million shares for a total of $25 million in the second quarter, and an additional 1.3 million shares for $25 million subsequent to quarter end. As of July 30, 2024, $100 million remains available for repurchases under the Repurchase Program.

Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion, and new enterprise logo wins.
Notable second-quarter expansions and wins include: Universal Pictures, Panera, Subway, Dyson, Philip Morris, Bacardi, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Amazon Books, Honda Mobility, JTI and Ajinomoto.

Expanded YouTube's brand safety and suitability measurement to include Performance Max and Demand Gen, offering comprehensive coverage of Google's high-performance solutions that optimize real-time performance for better conversions and budget efficiency.

Expanded partnerships with Pinterest and Reddit to offer global brand safety and suitability measurement in multiple languages, leveraging DV’s AI-powered Universal Content Intelligence.

Partnered with Hakuhodo DY Media Partners, a global top ten integrated marketing and innovation company, to harness DV's AI powered pre-bid social and open web activation tools for enhancing ad effectiveness and media quality.

Launched the industry’s only Transparency Center to foster digital trust by offering comprehensive resources that demystify digital media verification, dispel common misconceptions, and spotlight critical trends in ad quality and performance.

Published DV’s 2024 Global Insights Report to highlight key industry trends, emphasizing attention metrics, AI's transformative impact on digital advertising, the surge in MFA content, the rise of RMNs with specialized inventory, and the role of responsible media buying in reducing carbon emissions. The report has garnered over 1,000 downloads since launch globally.


“In the second quarter, we achieved the high end of our revenue guidance and exceeded our adjusted EBITDA expectations, achieving year-over-year revenue growth of 17%, revenue less cost of sales of 83%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30%,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our strong performance was driven by multiple products across activation, measurement, and supply-side revenue that leveraged growth across social, CTV, and retail media environments. As a result of our ongoing momentum, we are pleased to be raising the mid-points of our full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. We remain confident in our industry-leading revenue growth and profitability in the second half as we continue to outpace the digital advertising industry and gain market share.”

Third Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Guidance:

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

Third Quarter 2024:

Revenue of $167 to $171 million, a year-over-year increase of 17% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA of $49 to $53 million, representing a 30% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2024:

Revenue of $667 to $675 million, a year-over-year increase of 17% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA of $206 to $214 million, representing a 31% margin at the midpoint.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Third 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 second quarter 2024 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, July 30, 2024.

An archived webcast will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event.

In addition, DoubleVerify plans to post certain additional historical quarterly financial information on the investor relations portion of its website for easy access to investors.

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.

(c)Other recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 consist of sublease income for leased office space.

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.
