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.

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.

(a)	M&A and restructuring (recoveries) costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consist of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Scibids.

(b)	Offering and secondary offering costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consist of third-party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company.

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

(d)	Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consist of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

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.

Any statements in this press release regarding future revenues, earnings, margins, financial performance or results of operations (including the guidance provided under “Third Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Guidance”), and any other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that the forward-looking information presented in this press release is not a guarantee of future events, and that actual events may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking information contained in this press release.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.
