Tremor International Ltd. (AIM/NASDAQ: TRMR) (“Tremor” or the
“Company”), a global leader in data-driven video and Connected TV
(“CTV”) advertising technology, offering a unified platform that
enables advertisers to optimize campaigns and media companies to
maximize inventory yield, announced today its financial and
operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2023. The Company’s financial results for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2023, reflect the combined performance of Tremor
International and Amobee, while comparative figures for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022, do not include results from
Amobee.
Financial Summary
- Contribution
ex-TAC: Generated Q2 2023 Contribution ex-TAC of $80.2
million, compared to $70.8 million in Q2 2022, reflecting a
year-over-year increase of 13%, and H1 2023 Contribution ex-TAC of
$147.1 million, reflecting an increase of 4% compared to $141.8
million in H1 2022. The Company also experienced 20% growth in
Contribution ex-TAC in Q2 2023, compared to $66.9 million generated
during Q1 2023. The Company benefitted from the strong performance
of its core strategic growth drivers, including programmatic
revenue and CTV revenue. These increases were partially offset by
an anticipated decrease in the Company’s non-core performance
activity, as well as a continued weakened advertising demand
environment driven by challenging and uncertain macroeconomic
conditions.
- Programmatic
Revenue: Achieved Q2 2023 programmatic revenue of $76.3
million, reflecting an increase of 26% from $60.7 million in Q2
2022, as well as H1 2023 programmatic revenue of $138.8 million,
reflecting a 16% increase from $119.8 million in H1 2022. The
Company also experienced 22% growth in programmatic revenue from
$62.5 million generated during Q1 2023. These increases reflect the
Company’s strategic focus on expanding its programmatic revenue
footprint following the completed integration of Amobee.
- CTV
Revenue: Expanded CTV market
share, generating CTV revenue of $24.7 million and $45.9 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,
reflecting year-over-year increases of 5% and 17%, respectively,
compared to $23.6 million and $39.4 million during the same prior
year periods. The Company also achieved 16% growth in CTV revenue
in Q2 2023, compared to $21.3 million in Q1 2023.
- CTV and Programmatic
Revenue Percentages: CTV revenue during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2023 reflected 32% and 33% of programmatic
revenue, respectively, compared to 39% and 33%, respectively, for
the same prior year periods, attributable to a significant increase
in programmatic revenue. Programmatic revenue increased to 91% and
89% of revenue, respectively, for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023, compared to 80% and 76% of revenue, respectively,
for the same prior year periods.
- Adjusted EBITDA:
Generated Q2 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 million, reflecting a
significant 137% improvement from $8.9 million in Q1 2023.
Increased Adjusted EBITDA during Q2 2023, compared to Q1 2023, was
primarily driven by cost benefits related to the completed
integration of Amobee as well as increased Contribution ex-TAC in
Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023. Q2 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $21.0
million compared to $39.1 million generated during Q2 2022. The
Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $29.9 million in H1 2023,
which compared to $77.8 million in H1 2022. The Company continues
to anticipate generating increased Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margins in H2 2023, compared to H1 2023, based on
expectations for increased Contribution ex-TAC in H2 2023 vs. H1
2023 and H2 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA
Margins: Significantly improved Adjusted EBITDA Margin in
Q2 2023 to 25% on a revenue basis, and 26% on a Contribution ex-TAC
basis, compared to 12% on a revenue basis and 13% on a Contribution
ex-TAC basis in Q1 2023. Q2 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Margins compared
to 52% on a revenue basis and 55% on a Contribution ex-TAC basis in
Q2 2022, prior to the Company’s acquisition and integration of
Amobee which was generating losses when first acquired. The Company
achieved an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 19% on a revenue basis and
20% on a Contribution ex-TAC basis in H1 2023, compared to an
Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 50% on a revenue basis and 55% on a
Contribution ex-TAC basis in H1 2022.
- Video Revenue:
Video revenue continued to represent a majority of the Company’s
programmatic revenue at approximately 71% and 73%, respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 93%
for the same prior year periods. Video revenue is expected to
increase as a percentage of programmatic revenue over time as the
Company continues to attract new customers and benefit from
video-related cross-selling opportunities following the integration
of Amobee.
- Liquidity
Resources: As of June 30, 2023, the
Company had net cash of $94.2 million, consisting of cash and cash
equivalents of $195.0 million, offset by $100.0 million in
principal long-term debt and $0.8 million of capital leases
(consisting entirely of the Company’s server leases), as well as
$80 million undrawn on its revolving credit facility. The Company
intends to leverage its considerable net cash reserves to fund its
existing operations and to support future strategic investments and
initiatives, including potential future share repurchase programs
and acquisitions.
“We were incredibly pleased to achieve our goal
of efficiently completing the integration of Amobee, which featured
a tech-rich platform and much larger employee base than Tremor at
the acquisition’s close, and to have met our total annualized
operating cost synergy target. We accomplished these goals while
doubling our Adjusted EBITDA Margin quarter-over-quarter during Q2
2023, underscoring the efficiency of our horizontal operating model
and proven track record of successfully integrating large-scale
acquisitions. We believe we possess one of the most comprehensive
and scaled CTV- and video-focused AdTech platforms in the open
internet, boasting differentiated and exclusive data, planning,
activation, targeting, and measurement solutions. Our unified
technology suite is purpose-built for advertisers, agencies, CTV
publishers and broadcasters to significantly optimize returns and
effectively meet their goals and KPIs within CTV,” said Ofer
Druker, Chief Executive Officer of Tremor International.
Mr. Druker added, “The unification of our
robust, data-driven, and highly synergistic platforms, alongside
our strategic rebrand as Nexxen, better positions the Company with
significantly added scale, and a simplified value proposition, to
hold a leadership position in the future CTV advertising ecosystem.
We believe that the addition of critical newly-gained capabilities,
including holistic linear and CTV cross-planning, and the ability
to leverage and organize significant amounts of data to enhance
audience knowledge, to more effectively find and target audiences
simultaneously across web, social media, and TV, bodes well for the
Company’s future growth prospects.”
“While we remain excited for the future and are
confident our CTV-related investments will pay off over the long
term, accelerated revenue growth has taken longer than initially
anticipated. We believe macroeconomic uncertainty is impacting
major advertisers’ and agencies’ budgets and willingness to spend
during H2 2023, particularly in managed service campaigns, which we
believe will also drive cautiousness in willingness to adopt new
products and platforms over the period. We are also experiencing
longer, and more complex, sales cycles related to our strategic
focus on driving larger enterprise deals with major advertisers,
agencies, and CTV players, while our enhanced focus on driving
growth in our core programmatic and enterprise businesses has
contributed to a changed revenue mix shift and lower overall take
rates for the Company. We believe impacts from these combined
factors will alleviate over time and that we will be better
positioned than ever for success, and growth within CTV, when
budgets expand and the spending environment improves,” concluded
Mr. Druker.
Operational Highlights
- Completed
the technology integration of
Amobee, creating
one of the most comprehensive unified
data-driven CTV and video-focused
AdTech
platforms in the open
internet
- The Company achieved its target of completing the majority of
the technology integration of Amobee by the end of Q2 2023.
- Achieved anticipated annualized operating cost synergies of $65
million by the end of Q2 2023, in line with the Company’s
expectations.
- Successfully combined the Tremor Video and Amobee DSPs into the
significantly enhanced Nexxen DSP,creating one of the most scaled,
effective,and efficient enterprise DSP solutions for finding
audiences, targeting and measurement, and planning and activating
campaigns within the TV ecosystem.
- Rebranded
the Company’s major products and platforms
as Nexxen,
successfully generating
significant momentum and positive response from
customers, partners, and prospective
customers
- The rebranding has simplified and streamlined the value
proposition of the Company’s unified data-driven horizontal
platform for its sales team, customers, and prospective customers,
generating strong initial support in the market, particularly as
the Company’s sales team has achieved greater success seamlessly
packaging multiple technology solutions for customers.
- The Company intends to change its listed parent Company name
from Tremor International Ltd. to Nexxen International Ltd.,
subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s upcoming Annual
General Meeting (“AGM”) later in 2023, the date of which will be
announced in due course.
- Integration
of Amobee drove the
creation and greater adoption of
several new highly
innovative technology features
and capabilities, as well
as new partnerships
- Launched self-service cross-platform planner, a first-to-market
technology, which the Company believes positions it very strongly
for the future of TV advertising as linear broadcasters
increasingly seek to expand into CTV to reach desired audiences and
enhance returns on advertising spend. Major broadcasters and
advertising agencies continue to adopt and express interest in the
tool following extensive and ongoing testing.
- Incorporated Nexxen Discovery technology into the Company’s
broader suite of solutions and capabilities. Nexxen Discovery
assists advertisers in leveraging and organizing significant
amounts of data to find audiences simultaneously across web, social
media, and TV and effectively target them. The technology enables
customers to more efficiently and effectively plan campaigns, and
optimize returns on ad spending, when leveraging this powerful data
to activate in campaigns through the Nexxen DSP. We believe the
tool is a proven differentiator for the Company and can generate
significant traction with customers.
- Created a first-to-market Green Media Product (“GMP”) for CTV
via global partnership with Scope3. The partnership enables
Scope3’s carbon emission measurement methodology to be applied to
CTV inventory with buyers able to access GMP curated deals through
the Nexxen SSP to achieve performance goals while mapping and
measuring carbon emissions of their media spend within CTV. This
has generated significant interest from, and adoption by, agencies,
as sustainability has become an increasingly core focus for
agencies and their customers.
- Achieved significant
increase in new advertiser and supply partner
adoption, as well as
examples of customers adopting
multiple additional technology
solutions, while successfully
retaining the overwhelming majority of major
customers during both
Q2 and H1 2023
- Nexxen DSP (formerly Tremor Video and Amobee) added 65 new
actively-spending first time advertiser customers during Q2 2023,
including 30 new enterprise self-service advertiser customers, and
110 new actively-spending first time advertiser customers during H1
2023, across travel, CPG, and entertainment verticals, as well as
others.
- Nexxen SSP (formerly Unruly) added 112 new supply partners,
including 100 in the US, during Q2 2023 as well as 174 new supply
partners during H1 2023, including 149 in the US, across several
verticals and formats including CTV, broadcast TV, live sports, and
gaming.
- Nexxen CTRL (the combined Nexxen SSP and Nexxen Ad Server), the
Company’s self-service platform for publishers, saw PMP (“Private
Marketplace”) revenue increase by 217% during Q2 2023 compared to
Q2 2022 and by 229% during H1 2023 compared to H1 2022. Growth in
PMP business is outpacing growth in all other business units within
the Company, driven by a strategic shift of sales resources and
efforts into this segment.
- Nexxen Studio (formerly Tr. ly) continued to expand its CTV
creative solutions, launching the industry’s first voice-activated
ad able to run across all CTV environments while also generating a
50% increase in adoption of the Company’s turnkey CTV creative
solutions in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, and a 10% increase in H1
2023 compared to H1 2022. Nexxen Studio also achieved a 308%
increase in the volume of creatives running through Nexxen PMPs in
Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, as well as a 149% increase in H1 2023
compared to H1 2022. In H1 2023, 86% of Nexxen’s CTV campaigns with
creative upgrades featured Nexxen Studio’s QR codes.
- H/L, a multiservice and independent agency, following its
successful collaboration with the Nexxen DSP, expanded its product
adoption to leverage more of the Company’s horizontal platform,
adding Nexxen Discovery, automatic content recognition (“ACR”) data
through the Company’s global exclusive relationship with VIDAA, and
the Company’s cross channel-technology.
- The Company continues to expect to
generate added revenue related to
its investment in VIDAA beginning later in 2023
and beyond,
amidst recent
significantly increased scale,
distribution, and market share gains by VIDAA and Hisense
- VIDAA, the fastest-growing smart TV
operating system among the top Smart TV manufacturers in the world,
significantly expanded its distribution, and currently serves as
the operating system for over 21 million Connected TVs in
approximately 180 countries. The Company expects growing revenue
opportunities related to VIDAA’s increasing scale through its
investment in the operating system, which enabled global ACR data
exclusivity as well as ad monetization exclusivity on VIDAA media
in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia for several years.
- According to data from AVC Revo,
Hisense (including Toshiba) held the fastest growth rate in the
world for global TV shipments during H1 2023, shipping
approximately 12.4 million TV sets worldwide, reflecting an
increase of roughly 22% compared to H1 2022. Hisense’s global
shipment share increased to approximately 14%, a record high for
Hisense, as Hisense continued to rank second in the world for
global TV shipments share. As Hisense continues to grow its share
of global smart TV shipments, the Company is expected to
increasingly benefit from its investment in VIDAA, a subsidiary of
Hisense, which serves as Hisense’s main CTV operating system.
Financial Guidance
- Management continues to expect
increased Contribution ex-TAC, programmatic revenue, and CTV
revenue in H2 2023 compared to H1 2023 and H2 2022, with the
majority of H2 2023 growth anticipated during Q4 2023.
- Management continues to anticipate
programmatic revenue will reflect approximately 90% of the
Company’s full year 2023 revenue.
- Management expects increased
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margins in H2 2023 compared to
H1 2023, however, does not expect Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margins in H2 2023 to be higher than results generated in H2
2022.
- Management believes that
challenging macroeconomic conditions have driven reduced budgets
and will reduce advertising spending across the industry during H2
2023, particularly in managed service campaigns, and that major
advertisers will remain cautious and less willing to adopt new
products and platforms over the period. Management also believes
that longer and more complex sales cycles attributable to the
Company’s strategy to drive larger multi-technology-solution
enterprise deals, as well as a changing revenue mix shift amidst
the Company’s enhanced focus on its core programmatic business, and
enterprise business, and continued expected declines in its
non-core performance business during H2 2023 vs. H2 2022, will
result in weaker-than-previously anticipated full year 2023
financial results. As a result of these combined factors, Tremor
International is lowering its full year 2023 expectations
to:
- Full year 2023 Contribution ex-TAC
in a range of approximately $320 - $330 million compared to
previous expectations for approximately $400 million
- Full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA in a
range of approximately $85 - $90 million compared to previous
expectations for a range of approximately $140 - $145 million

Use of Non-IFRS Financial
Information
In addition to our IFRS results, we review
certain non-IFRS financial measures to help us evaluate our
business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our
business, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of
investments in our technology and development and sales and
marketing, and assess our operational efficiencies. These non-IFRS
measures include Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net Income, and Non-IFRS Earnings per
share, each of which is discussed below.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not
intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or
as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to evaluate these
adjustments and review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS
financial measures to their most comparable IFRS measures, and the
reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that
the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-IFRS
financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or
included in, similar non-IFRS financial measures used by other
companies. See "Reconciliation of Revenue to Contribution ex-TAC,"
"Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted
EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net
Income (Loss)," included as part of this press release.
- Contribution
ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for Tremor International is
defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization
attributable to cost of revenues and cost of revenues (exclusive of
depreciation and amortization) minus the Performance media cost
(“traffic acquisition costs” or “TAC”). Performance media cost
represents the costs of purchases of impressions from publishers on
a cost-per-thousand impression basis in our non-core Performance
activities. Contribution ex-TAC is a supplemental measure of our
financial performance that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, IFRS. Contribution ex-TAC should not be considered
as an alternative to gross profit as a measure of financial
performance. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-IFRS financial measure
and should not be viewed in isolation. We believe Contribution
ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the performance of Tremor
International, because it facilitates a consistent comparison
against our core business without considering the impact of traffic
acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross
basis.
- Adjusted EBITDA:
We define Adjusted EBITDA for Tremor International as total
comprehensive income (loss) for the period adjusted for foreign
currency translation differences for foreign operations, financing
expenses, net, tax benefit, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and
IPO-related costs and other expenses (income), net. Adjusted EBITDA
is included in the press release because it is a key metric used by
management and our board of directors to assess our financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts,
investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in
our industry. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an
appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates
the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the
performance of the underlying business.
- Adjusted EBITDA
Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA
Margin as Adjusted EBITDA on a Contribution ex-TAC basis.
- Non-IFRS Income
(Loss) and Non-IFRS Earnings
(Loss) per Share: We define
non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share as non-IFRS income (loss)
divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS
income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) excluding stock-based
compensation, and cash- and non-cash-based acquisition and related
expenses, including amortization of acquired intangible assets,
merger-related severance costs, and transaction expenses. In
periods in which we have non-IFRS income, non-IFRS weighted-average
shares outstanding used to calculate non-IFRS earnings per share
includes the impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially
dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, and performance stock units, each computed
using the treasury stock method. We believe non-IFRS earnings
(loss) per share is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing
operational performance and our trends on a per share basis, and
also facilitates comparison of our financial results on a per share
basis with other companies, many of which present a similar
non-IFRS measure. However, a potential limitation of our use of
non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share is that other companies may
define non-IFRS earnings per share differently, which may make
comparison difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that
may have a material impact on our reported financial results.
Non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share is a performance measure and
should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Because of these
limitations, we also consider the comparable IFRS measure of net
income.
We do not provide a reconciliation of
forward-looking non-IFRS financial metrics, because reconciling
information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such
as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on
a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding IFRS
metric.

Auditor's Review Report to the
Shareholders of Tremor International Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying financial
information of Tremor International Ltd. and its subsidiaries
(hereinafter - “the Company”) comprising the condensed consolidated
interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023, the
related condensed consolidated interim statements of operation and
other comprehensive income for the six and three month periods then
ended and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of
changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then
ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for
the preparation and presentation of this interim financial
information in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial
Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this
interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with
Standard on Review Engagements (Israel)2410 , "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial
information was not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34.

NOTE 10: CONTINGENT
LIABILITY
|
|
On May 18, 2021, the Company filed a complaint against Alphonso,
Inc. (“Alphonso”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York (the “Court”), asserting claims for breach of
contract, tortious interference with business relations,
intentional interference with contractual relations, unjust
enrichment, and conversion. On September 10, 2021, the
Company amended its complaint against Alphonso and added LG
Electronics, Inc. (“LGE”) as a Defendant. The lawsuit arose out of
Alphonso’s breach of a Strategic Partnership Agreement and an
Advance Payment Obligation and Security Agreement (the “Security
Agreement”) with the Company, Alphonso and LGE’s tortious
interference with Tremor’s contractual relationships and business
relations, and related misconduct.On May 24, 2021, Alphonso filed a
complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York, asserting claims for breach of
contract, unfair competition, and tortious interference with
business relations. Alphonso, LGE, and the Company are
currently engaged in depositions and expert discovery.On June 21,
2022, Alphonso, Inc. (“Alphonso”) filed a complaint against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, asserting claims for misappropriation of
trade secrets under federal and state law. On July 19, 2022,
Alphonso also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. On
October 31, 2022, the Court denied Alphonso’s motion for a
preliminary injunction. Alphonso and the Company are currently
engaged in fact discovery. The Company believes that the likelihood
of a material loss is remote but at this point is unable to
reasonably estimate any potential loss and financial impact to the
Company resulting from this matter.In March 2023, Alphonso remitted
USD 11.3 million to the Company, comprising USD 7.25 million
related to a secured advance repayment under the Security Agreement
and USD 4.1 million related to additional interest, penalties and
fees including reimbursement of certain legal fees. The matter is
ongoing, and the Company is seeking additional damages and other
relief. |
