DoubleVerify Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Increased Revenue by 36% Year-over Year to $83.1 Million, driven by Growth in Programmatic, CTV, Social and International Revenue

Achieved Net Income of $7.9 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $26.4 Million resulting in a 32% Adjusted EBITDA margin

Agreed to acquire OpenSlate, the Leading Independent Pre-Campaign Contextual Targeting Platform for social video and CTV, and completed the acquisition of Meetrics GmbH, a European Ad Verification Company

DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“We are pleased to have delivered another quarter of strong revenue and EBITDA growth and excited to highlight two strategic acquisitions that significantly expand our product leadership in CTV and Social and grow our global footprint,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Our third quarter performance demonstrates continued organic growth and reflects the ongoing value that our products create for advertisers across all digital media platforms. Our pending acquisition of OpenSlate extends our core value proposition by combining its proven pre-campaign contextual targeting solutions with DV’s granular post-campaign measurement, offering end-to-end brand safety, suitability and contextual solutions across social video and CTV environments. The recently completed acquisition of Meetrics expands our business opportunities in EMEA. We expect both of these strategic investments to fuel our long-term growth trajectory and drive better business outcomes for DV customers by expanding our ability to drive media quality and performance everywhere.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are to the third quarter of 2020)

  • Total revenue of $83.1 million, an increase of 36%.
  • Advertiser Programmatic revenue of $41.9 million, an increase of 49%.
  • Advertiser Direct revenue of $34.1 million, an increase of 23%.
    • Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) for Social increased by 83% and for CTV increased by 41%.
    • APAC revenue increased by 96%.
    • EMEA revenue increased by 44%.
  • Supply-Side revenue of $7.1 million, an increase of 32%.
  • Net income of $7.9 million, an increase of 37%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $26.4 million, an increase of 82%, representing a 32% EBITDA margin.

Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Grew premium-priced Authentic Brand Suitability (ABS) revenues by approximately 64% year-over-year in the third quarter driven by increased adoption on Google’s DV360 and The Trade Desk. Subsequent to quarter-end, ABS was launched on Tremor International, a leader in video and CTV advertising.
  • Drove global market share growth through new product upsells and logo wins including Facebook, Sony Japan, Disney Studios, TJX (TJ Maxx, Marshalls), American Family Insurance, Dropbox, Afterpay ANZ, Peloton Global, Burberry, Patek Philippe, John Lewis and HRA Pharma.
  • Partnered with TikTok to measure ad viewability, fraud and in-geo impressions. Via the solutions DoubleVerify expects to gain upon completing the OpenSlate acquisition, the company will be the only provider of unified brand suitability targeting, viewability and verification coverage across TikTok.
  • Expanded partnership with Innovid, an independent CTV advertising and measurement platform, to support the automation of DoubleVerify’s DV Video OmniTag, maximizing operational efficiency for advertisers.
  • Uncovered and neutralized Smokescreen, a fraud scheme that hijacked CTV devices to generate fraudulent ad impressions, protecting DV customers from wasting millions of dollars of investment each month.
  • Launched new version of DV Pinnacle™, the company’s unified analytics and reporting platform, offering global brands transparency into programmatic supply chain quality.

Strategic Initiatives:

  • Acquired Meetrics GmbH, a leading European ad verification company, on August 31, 2021 for an aggregate net cash purchase price of $24.3 million.
  • Recently launched Custom Contextual targeting for DV Publisher Suite enabling premium digital publishers to effectively monetize inventory in the post-cookie era.
  • Announced today an agreement to acquire OpenSlate, the leading independent pre-activation and content classification platform for social video and CTV in a cash and stock transaction valued at $150 million.

“In the third quarter, we continued to deliver strong momentum with year-over-year revenue growth of 36% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 32%, driven by continued international expansion, and product successes in fast-growth sectors such as Programmatic, Social and CTV,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “In addition to delivering high growth and high profitability, we took advantage of our debt-free balance sheet and significant cash position to acquire Meetrics and support the pending acquisition of OpenSlate. We expect these strategic investments to fortify our long-term growth profile and allow us to capture a greater share of a large and growing addressable market. While our fourth quarter outlook reflects prudence due to supply chain issues that some of our customers currently face, we are reiterating our full-year 2021 guidance ranges and expect to deliver 34% full year revenue growth and a 32% EBITDA margin at the midpoints.”

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Guidance:

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

Fourth quarter 2021:

  • Revenue of $98 to $103 million, a year-over-year increase of approximately 28% at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $34 to $36 million, a year-over-year improvement of approximately 27% at the midpoint.

Full year 2021:

  • Revenue of $325 to $330 million, a year-over-year increase of 34% at the midpoint, which is unchanged from the midpoint of the previous guidance range provided on July 29, 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $103 to $105 million, a year-over-year increase of 42% at the midpoint, unchanged from the previous guidance range provided on July 29, 2021.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 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 stock-based compensation expense, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. A metric similar to Adjusted EBITDA is used in certain calculations under our New Revolving Credit Facility. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.

(a)

M&A costs (recoveries) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 consist of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Meetrics and other deferred compensation costs related to acquisitions. M&A costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 consist of deferred compensation costs related to acquisitions.

(b)

Offering costs and IPO readiness costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consist of third-party costs incurred in preparation and completion for our IPO and other transaction related expenses.

(c)

Other costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 consist of reimbursements paid to Providence for costs incurred prior to the IPO date and non-recurring recognition of a cease-use liability related to unoccupied leased office space. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, other costs include reimbursements paid to Providence as well as costs related to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer, and third-party costs incurred in response to investigating and remediating certain IT/cybersecurity matters that occurred in March 2020.

(d)

Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consists of changes in fair value associated with contingent considerations and the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with monetary assets and liabilities.

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 our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in our 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, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our 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 our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; 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 our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, 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.
