Perion Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Perion One adoption accelerated with spend up 15% YoY,
driven by strong growth of CTV by 56%, DOOH by 45%, Retail Media by 60%, and Outmax AI Agent by 136%
Narrowing 2026 Guidance range

New York & Tel Aviv – August 10, 2026 – Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PERI), an advanced technology leader solving for the complexities of digital advertising through AI-native execution infrastructure, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"In the second quarter, we continued to strengthen the foundation for Perion’s next phase of growth,” said Tal Jacobson, Perion’s CEO. “Our strategy has long been built around diversifying away from the Open Web. Over the past two years, we have accelerated that shift through both organic investment and M&A, responding to changing customer demand and market dynamics. This quarter’s results reflect that progress, with strong momentum across CTV, DOOH, Retail Media, and Outmax, our AI Agent. Recent strategic wins, including Best Buy Canada’s selection of Perion as its in-store Retail Media DOOH technology partner and the rollout of our Ask Perion AI application, further demonstrate that momentum. We remain focused on the expected second-half ramp, supported by continued investment in these growth engines, while the efficiency measures to optimize our cost base, which were completed this quarter, create additional capacity to support that growth.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights²

Financial Outlook for Full-Year 2026³

Based on current expectations, the Company is narrowing its full-year 2026 outlook ranges:

“We are narrowing our full-year outlook to reflect our first half performance and increased visibility into second-half trends,” said Elad Tzubery, Perion’s CFO. “Our comfort in delivering this updated outlook is supported by tangible catalysts. Our structural cost reductions have established a streamlined, highly optimized expense base. This positions us to capture significant operating leverage as recently signed strategic agreements begin contributing and momentum across Perion One accelerates. Together, these operational efficiencies and top-line drivers protect our profitability and support our second-half 2026 acceleration.”

² Contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and non-GAAP Diluted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See below reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

³ We have not provided an outlook for GAAP Income from operations or reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP Income from operations, the closest corresponding GAAP measure, because we do not provide guidance for certain of the reconciling items on a consistent basis due to the variability and complexity of these items, including but not limited to the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expenses directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuation in our share price and amortization in connection with future acquisitions. Hence, we are unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.

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, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted free cash flow, Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.

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 GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expenses, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, unusual legal costs, gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs and other charges as well as depreciation.

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, net of sales and capitalized software development costs, but excluding the purchase of property and equipment related to our new corporate headquarter office, the portion of the cash payment of contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value and retention payment related to acquisitions, 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 GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net earnings (loss) per share excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, unusual legal costs, gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring costs and other charges as well as foreign exchange gains and losses associated with ASC-842.

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.
