Business & Financial Highlights

 

“Our second quarter financial performance reflects our progress and early validation of our Perion One strategy, marked by first quarter of year-over-year growth in Advertising Solutions revenue since the third quarter of 2023, signaling that we are beginning to reap the fruits of our transformation,” said Tal Jacobson, Perion’s CEO.

“As our financial performance continues to improve, we are also making significant progress in executing our business strategy. The integration of Greenbids into Perion is fully on track, and we are already benefiting from tangible synergies, reflected in early wins of custom algorithm deals from existing and new customers,” added Mr. Jacobson. “Further expanding our Perion One platform offering, earlier today we announced the launch of our new performance CTV solution, enabling us to activate outcome-based video campaigns across premium streaming environments, with enhanced creative formats and advanced attribution. As CTV ad spend continues to shift toward performance-driven models, we believe this offering significantly strengthens our value proposition.”

 

“At the same time, our expansion into Korea, alongside new partnerships across Europe, marks another strong step in Perion’s global growth strategy,” Mr. Jacobson continued. “It reflects the trust leading companies place in our technology and the strength of our partnerships as we scale across both new and existing markets.”

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude certain items. This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including Contribution ex-TAC and Adjusted EBITDA.

Contribution ex-TAC presents revenue reduced by traffic acquisition costs and media buy, reflecting a portion of our revenue that must be directly passed to publishers or advertisers and presents our revenue excluding such items. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the performance of the Company because it facilitates a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs and media buy related to revenue reported on a gross basis.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is defined as income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs, unusual legal costs, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, as well as gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property and equipment, but excluding the purchase of property and equipment related to our new corporate headquarter office and the portion of the cash payment of contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value, as we do not view either of those expenses as reflective of our normal on-going expenses. It is important to note that these expenses are in fact cash expenditures.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are defined as net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs, unusual legal costs, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, foreign exchange gains and losses associated with ASC-842, as well as gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of our business. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required for such presentation without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included in this press release. A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the last table of this press release.
