Agreed to Acquire Rockerbox, a leader in performance attribution, optimization and marketing measurement, to drive greater ROI for advertisers

NEW YORK – February 27, 2025 – DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), the leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“DoubleVerify delivered solid full-year results in 2024, with 15% revenue growth, 33% adjusted EBITDA margins, and continued expansion across CTV, Social, and international markets,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Demand for DV’s solutions remained strong, with CTV measurement surging 95% year-over-year and supply-side revenue increasing 34%—reinforcing our leadership in verification and media quality measurement. Despite the variability in the market that we experienced in Q4, largely driven by the absence of a post-election rebound in ad spend, we maintained a strong profit margin while continuing to invest in evolving our solutions to not only enhance advertising brand alignment but also help measure and optimize media effectiveness. Our expected acquisition of Rockerbox is the latest chapter in this evolution. By integrating Rockerbox’s advanced attribution solutions, we are giving advertisers the tools to directly measure and maximize the impact of their media investments. Additionally, Rockerbox helps expand our core value proposition into mid-market, direct response advertisers, a previously untapped segment for DV. Heading into 2025, we are optimistic about future growth opportunities and remain focused on helping advertisers improve media quality and effectiveness, while unlocking measurable ROI in an increasingly complex digital landscape.”

Strategic Investment and Innovation Day:

Announced an agreement to acquire Rockerbox, Inc. for $85.0 million in cash. Rockerbox is a leader in performance attribution, optimization, and marketing measurement, empowering advertisers to optimize advertising campaigns and maximize their return on investment.

Announced an in-person Innovation Day for the investment community on Wednesday, June 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City. The event will also be webcast live, with an archived replay available the following day.

"We continue to balance profitability with strategic investments, such as the Rockerbox acquisition, which enhances our ability to drive long-term value for advertisers. With a strong balance sheet and $200 million available under the existing share repurchase program, we have the financial flexibility to execute our growth strategy while delivering sustained value for shareholders in 2025 and beyond.”

First Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Guidance:

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

First Quarter 2025:

Revenue in the range of $151 and $155 million, a year-over-year increase of 9% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $37 and $41 million, representing a 25% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2025:

Revenue growth of approximately 10%.
Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 32%.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "First Quarter and Full Year 2025 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 fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, February 27, 2025. To access the conference call, dial (877) 841-2987 for the U.S. or Canada, or (215) 268-9878 for international callers. The webcast will be available live on the Investors section of the Company’s website at https://ir.doubleverify.com/. 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.

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.
