PERI Perion Network Ltd

Delivers Annual Year-Over-Year Growth of 16% in Revenue, 18% in GAAP Net Income and 28% in Adjusted EBITDA

Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PERI), a technology leader in connecting advertisers to consumers across all major digital channels, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“Our fourth quarter and annual results showed notable growth in Search, CTV and Retail Media, further demonstrating the positive impact of our business diversification and continued focus on technology and innovation. In 2023, we generated industry-leading adjusted EBITDA to Contribution ex-TAC margins, giving us a solid foundation for 2024,” stated Tal Jacobson, Perion’s CEO.

“As advertising budgets shifted between channels, we capitalized on these trends and delivered profitable growth well ahead of the digital advertising market for 2023. We also advanced our growth strategy with the acquisition of Hivestack, a leading innovative full-stack programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) company with an extensive global footprint. The acquisition of Hivestack, alongside our existing offering, solidifies Perion’s differentiated offer to our customers. It’s a significant entry into the fast growing DOOH channel, which opens up new synergistic opportunities within our suite of solutions for brands and retailers. By adding critical touch points to the entire consumer journey across channels such as CTV, Audio, Out Of Home, including our products for Near-store and In-Store screens - we are transforming our Retail Media suite into a pure multi-channel, full consumer journey solution.”

“Additionally, our strong cash flow from operations of $155 million for the full year of 2023, positions us well to execute additional acquisitions, further expanding our solutions and enhancing shareholder value,” Jacobson concluded.

Starting in the second quarter of 2023, we changed our methodology for measuring our CTV activity. We moved from measuring CTV campaigns to measuring CTV channels. The CTV growth trend under both methodologies remains in the same trajectory. Under our updated methodology, revenue generated from CTV in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $8.6 million vs. $12.5 million under the previous methodology

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.

Financial Comparison for the Fourth Quarter of 2023

Revenue: Revenue increased by 12% to $234.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $209.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Display Advertising revenue decreased 3%, accounting for 51% of total revenue, primarily due to 33% decrease in Video revenue to $35.2 million due to shifting inventory from video to display to gain higher profit, partially offset by 196% increase in Retail revenue to $20.2 million and a 69% increase in CTV revenue to $14.4 million. Search Advertising revenue increased by 33%, accounting for 49% of revenue, primarily due to 37% increase in Average Daily Searches and 4% increase in the number of publishers to 162.

Traffic Acquisition Costs and Media Buy (“TAC”): TAC amounted to $143.6 million, or 61% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with $122.0 million, or 58% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The margin contraction was primarily due to product mix, partially offset by media buying optimization, which is enabled by leveraging data and buying power.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $53.9 million, or 23% of revenue (and 59% of Contribution ex-TAC) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with $48.2 million, or 23% of revenue (and 55% of Contribution ex-TAC) in the fourth quarter of 2022. A reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release.

Cash Flow from Operations: Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $50.2 million, a 32% increase from $38.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Financial Comparison for the Full-Year of 2023

Revenue: Revenue increased by 16% to $743.2 million in 2023 from $640.3 million in 2022. Display Advertising revenue increased by 10%, accounting for 54% of revenue, mainly driven by 114% increase in Retail Media revenue to $49.7 million and 56% growth in CTV to $33.5 million, partially offset by 7% decrease in Video revenue to $143.2 million due to shifting inventory from video to display to gain higher profit. Search Advertising revenue increased by 23%, accounting for 46% of revenue, primarily due to a 57% increase in Average Daily Searches and 18% increase in the average annual number of publishers to 160.

Traffic Acquisition Costs (“TAC”): TAC amounted to $432.9 million, or 58% of revenue, compared with $372.6 million, or 58% of revenue in 2022. Media margin remained flat year-over-year.

Non-GAAP Net Income: Non-GAAP net income increased by 40% to $167.4 million, or 23% of revenue, from $119.8 million, or 19% of revenue in 2022. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income is included in this press release.

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, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earning 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 income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, retention and other acquisition-related expenses and gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are defined as net income and net earnings per share excluding stock-based compensation expenses, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, revaluation of acquisition-related contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, non-recurring expenses, 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.
