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 nine months
ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s financial results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, reflect the
combined performance of Tremor International and Amobee, while
comparative figures for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022 include Amobee contribution from September 12, 2022
through September 30, 2022.
Financial Summary
- Contribution
ex-TAC: Generated Contribution ex-TAC of $76.6 million and
$223.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023, respectively, compared to $64.9 million and $206.7 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting
year-over-year increases of 18% and 8%, respectively. Growth was
driven by significantly increased programmatic revenue following
the completed integration of Amobee, despite challenging
macroeconomic conditions continuing to drive cautiousness in the
advertising demand environment. Notably, the Company has not
experienced material negative impacts on its Contribution ex-TAC,
business activities, or operations as a result of the October 7th
terrorist attack on Israel, or ongoing conflict. The overwhelming
majority of the Company’s Contribution ex-TAC (over 85%) is
generated in the United States, where the largest base of its
employees are located.
- Programmatic
Revenue: Expanded programmatic revenue to $74.2 million
and $213.0 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2023, respectively, compared to $60.1 million and $179.9
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,
reflecting year-over-year increases of 23% and 18%, respectively.
Increases were driven by the Company’s strategic focus on
programmatic activities and the completed integration of Amobee,
which featured a strong programmatic revenue footprint.
- CTV Revenue:
Generated CTV revenue of $19.6 million in Q3 2023, reflecting a 21%
decrease compared to $24.7 million in Q3 2022. The Company
generated CTV revenue of $65.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, reflecting a 2% increase compared to $64.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. CTV revenue
in Q3 2023 was negatively impacted by reduced CTV advertising
demand early in the quarter, particularly in July, as challenging
macroeconomic conditions drove softness in managed service and
caused customers to temporarily shift spending from CTV into
lower-cost mobile and desktop options, as well as display. While
CTV advertising conditions have stabilized compared to July 2023,
the Company expects its customers will continue to favor its
lower-cost solutions due to ongoing market headwinds and continued
macroeconomic uncertainty through at least the remainder of
2023.
- CTV and Programmatic
Revenue Percentages: CTV revenue during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2023 reflected 26% and 31% of
programmatic revenue, respectively, compared to 41% and 36%, for
the same prior year periods, attributable to a significant increase
in programmatic revenue. Programmatic revenue increased to 93% and
90% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023, respectively, compared to 85% and 79% of revenue for the same
prior year periods.
- Adjusted EBITDA:
Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $21.3 million and $51.2 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively,
compared to $30.1 million and $108.0 million during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Year-over-year
decreases were attributable to the integration of Amobee, which
generated significant losses when first acquired, as well as a
weaker comparative advertising demand environment earlier in
2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA
Margins: Achieved a 28% Adjusted EBITDA Margin on a
Contribution ex-TAC basis, and 27% on a revenue basis, for the
three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 46% on a
Contribution ex-TAC basis, and 43% on a revenue basis for the three
months ended September 30, 2022. The Company also achieved an
Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 23% on a Contribution ex-TAC basis, and
22% on a revenue basis, for the nine months ended September 30,
2023, compared to 52% on a Contribution ex-TAC basis, and 47% on a
revenue basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The
Company expects to increase Adjusted EBITDA Margins over time,
particularly as macroeconomic and advertising demand conditions
improve, as the Company’s operating model provides strong and
increasing degrees of operating leverage.
- Video Revenue:
Video revenue continued to represent the majority of the Company’s
programmatic revenue at approximately 66% and 70% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 93%
for the same prior year periods. Year-over-year decreases were
attributable to significantly increased programmatic revenue, the
addition of Amobee, which featured a strong display revenue base,
as well as declines in video revenue driven by challenging market
conditions. The Company expects to increase video revenue over time
by attracting new customers and through cross-selling opportunities
created by the Amobee acquisition, particularly as advertising
conditions and demand for the Company’s CTV solutions improve.
- Liquidity
Resources: As of September 30, 2023, the Company had net
cash of $98.9 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of
$199.1 million, offset by approximately $100.0 million in principal
long-term debt and $0.2 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
prioritize using its cash resources in the near-term for internal
growth initiatives, supporting ongoing business needs, and
potential future share repurchase programs. Notably, the Company’s
Board of Directors intends to authorize the repurchase of up to $20
million of its Ordinary shares, pending approval by the Israeli
court. The Company’s Board of Directors also indicates that, should
the Company’s Ordinary shares continue to trade at prices that the
Company believes reflect discounted valuation levels, and if the
Company remains cash generative in the future, it would consider
launching additional future share repurchase programs following the
completion of the potential new $20 million Ordinary share
repurchase program, to capitalize on what the Company believes
reflects a discounted valuation opportunity in its shares that can
generate long-term value for its shareholders. Over the
intermediate- and long-term the Company will also consider
leveraging its cash resources for future potential strategic
investments, initiatives, and acquisitions.
“Our teams and significantly enhanced platform
continued to generate strong momentum following the completed
integration of Amobee. We were also very pleased to further
strengthen our organization through several key sales and marketing
team hires, including a new Chief Marketing Officer with
significant product marketing expertise, that we are confident will
contribute to accelerated long-term programmatic, enterprise, CTV,
and video revenue growth, as well as greater demand across our
product ecosystem,” said Ofer Druker, Chief Executive Officer at
Tremor International. “Our innovative recently added tech and data
solutions, including Nexxen Discovery and our Cross-Platform
Planner, alongside the fast-growing scale of our global ACR data
footprint through VIDAA, and rebrand to Nexxen, have collectively
resulted in notable increased interest from major advertisers,
agencies, and TV players, opening doors to significant partnership
opportunities and additional revenue channels with new and existing
customers.”
Mr. Druker added, “While the advertising
industry’s recovery remains uneven as headwinds persist, our
diversified model, highlighted by the ability to provide a variety
of differentiated and comprehensive solutions to both sides of the
ecosystem, and seamlessness across linear and CTV advertising,
enables durability and strategic flexibility to quickly react to,
and best capitalize on, evolving industry trends and market
dynamics. Our platform offers a great value proposition and
features advanced tools and data that we believe drive better
returns and greater efficiency for customers, positioning us to
attract new partners and higher levels of spending now, and in the
future TV advertising ecosystem. We continue to have unwavering
confidence in our long-term competitive positioning and strategy,
and believe that as macroeconomic conditions improve, and as CTV
advertising demand expands, we are very well-placed to generate
Contribution ex-TAC growth, significantly improve profitability,
achieve outsized market share gains, and further our Ad Tech
leadership position.”
Operational Highlights
- Recently added technology
and data solutions, including Nexxen Discovery and Cross-Platform
Planner, driving increased partnership interest and expanded
relationships with customers
- First-to-market Cross-Platform Planner (linear TV and CTV)
generating early adoption by major industry partners including A+E
Networks, FOX Corp and TelevisaUnivision.
- H/L expanded its product relationship with Nexxen beyond the
Company’s enterprise DSP to include additional solutions such as
Nexxen Discovery, automatic content recognition (“ACR”) data
through VIDAA, and the Company’s cross-channel technology.
- Strengthened sales and
marketing team through several important hires, further bolstering
expertise across advertising ecosystem, and strongly positioning
the Company to accelerate future growth within its core strategic
focuses
- Substantially increased sales and marketing team expertise
through the addition of new Chief Marketing Officer, Ben Kaplan,
who brings significant product marketing experience and who has led
teams across major tech and media companies including Meredith
Corporation, X (formerly known as Twitter), and most recently
Pubmatic, as well as Vice President of Enterprise Sales, Ariel
Deitz, most recently with Amazon Ads.
- Successfully filled several key sales team vacancies in major
metro areas including New York and Los Angeles, providing critical
depth in pivotal growth regions, and reinforcing the ability to
grow demand for the Company’s enterprise, programmatic, CTV, video,
and data solutions over time.
- The Company continued to
grow its new advertiser customer and supply partner base and
retained the overwhelming majority of major customers during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, while generating
traction introducing its recently added solutions
- Nexxen DSP added 113 new actively-spending first-time
advertiser customers during Q3 2023 across retail, travel, and CPG
verticals, as well as others, including 11 new enterprise
self-service advertiser customers, highlighted by some of the
world’s largest and most-recognized technology companies and
apparel brands. The Company added 223 new actively-spending
first-time advertiser customers for the nine months ended September
30, 2023.
- Nexxen SSP added 109 new supply partners, including 100 in the
U.S., during Q3 2023, across several verticals and formats
including CTV, broadcast TV, and mobile, with notable recent
momentum amongst mobile gaming publishers. The Company added 283
new supply partners in the nine months ended September 30, 2023,
including 249 in the U.S.
- 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 98% during Q3 2023 compared to Q3
2022 and by 156% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023,
compared to the same prior year period.
- Nexxen Studio continued to generate impressive growth amongst
enterprise clients leveraging the Company’s creative services,
highlighted by a 58% and 79% increase in demand for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the
same prior year periods. Nexxen Studio also released a fully
revamped Creative Insights suite of products during Q3 2023,
including its proprietary and cutting-edge Active Attention
measurement solution.
- VIDAA’s continued growth
enabled the Company to begin accelerating monetization related to
its investment in VIDAA through increased demand for the Company’s
scaling ACR data offering in the U.S., and the recent launch of its
ACR data offering in the U.K.
- After successfully monetizing VIDAA’s ACR data in the U.S. for
CTV targeting and measurement, the Company recently launched its
ACR data offering in the U.K., which it believes reflects a
significant value proposition for customers in the region given the
size of the Company’s audience reach in that market. The launch of
the Company’s ACR data offering in the U.K. is expected to generate
revenue for the Company beginning in Q4 2023 and is expected to
continue to generate revenue through at least the remainder of the
Company’s exclusivity period with VIDAA over the next several
years.
- The Company intends to launch its ACR data offering in
Australia in Q1 2024, which is expected to generate revenue
beginning in early 2024 and continue generating revenue through at
least the remainder of the Company’s exclusivity period with VIDAA
over the next several years.
- The Company believes, following its ACR data offering launches
in the U.S. and U.K., and through its impending launch in
Australia, that it is strongly positioned to generate material and
growing revenue opportunities through its VIDAA investment, which
enabled global ACR data exclusivity for CTV targeting and
measurement, as well as ad monetization exclusivity on VIDAA media
in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, for several years.
- Partnered with Lumen and TVision to deliver the first
omnichannel Attention Measurement solution for advertisers across
CTV, online video (“OLV”) and display
- The global partnership with Lumen
and TVision augments the launch of Nexxen’s full Attention
Measurement offering, which spans the lifecycle of an advertiser’s
campaign, from creative testing to media curation to real-time
measurement and optimization, all through Nexxen’s end-to-end
platform. By leveraging all elements of the offering, advertisers
can plan against, activate on, and optimize for consumer attention
across screens, including CTV.
- Nexxen’s holistic Attention
Measurement offering encompasses three main elements: pre-campaign
planning via active attention analysis and creative optimization,
provided by in-house creative agency Nexxen Studio; activation via
Lumen’s Attentive Private Marketplaces (“aPMPs”), delivered for the
first time by Nexxen on CTV, and measurement and reporting powered
by TVision data and the Lumen Attention Measurement Dashboard.
Nexxen Rebrand Update
- In June 2023, the Company announced
that it rebranded the products and platforms within its portfolio
to Nexxen to simplify and streamline the value proposition of its
unified data-driven platform for its sales team, customers, and
prospective customers.
- Subject to shareholder approval at
the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) in December
2023, the Company intends to change its listed parent Company name
from Tremor International Ltd. to Nexxen International Ltd.
- The Company does not currently
anticipate any changes to its Ordinary share or ADR structure in
connection with the proposed parent Company name change, nor does
it expect changes to the Company’s CUSIP, ISIN or SEDOL code.
- Should shareholders approve, the
Company’s Ordinary shares and ADRs will trade under the new name on
both the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ shortly thereafter, under
the ticker “NEXN”. The vote results will be published on the
Company’s investor relations website following the AGM.
The Company Intends to Launch a New $20
Million Ordinary Share Repurchase Program, Subject to Israeli Court
Approval
- In September 2023, the Company
filed a motion with the Israeli court, seeking approval to
authorize a new share repurchase program for a further $20 million
of its Ordinary shares. Should the motion be approved, the
Company’s Board of Directors intends to authorize the purchase of
up to $20 million of its Ordinary shares on the AIM Market (the
“Authority”) shortly thereafter.
- If approved, the new share
repurchase program would be financed through existing cash
resources.
- The potential new share repurchase
program would follow the recent completion of two previous share
repurchase programs in which the Company invested a combined $95
million in its Ordinary shares from March 1, 2022 through March 31,
2023, repurchasing roughly 19.4 million Ordinary shares, or
approximately 13% of outstanding Ordinary shares.
- Should the Company’s Ordinary
shares continue to trade at prices that the Company believes
reflect discounted valuation levels, and if the Company remains
cash generative in the future, the Company’s Board of Directors
would consider launching additional future share repurchase
programs following the completion of the potential impending $20
million Ordinary share repurchase program and seek further
approvals from the Israeli Court as required. The Company’s Board
of Directors believes repurchasing the Company’s shares reflects a
strong investment opportunity that can generate long-term value for
its shareholders.
Financial Guidance
- While management has observed some
evidence of ad market stabilization, particularly since July 2023,
it believes the recovery will remain uneven and that ongoing
macroeconomic headwinds and uncertainty will limit advertising
demand and budgets, drive continued managed service softness, and
cause its customers to focus near-term spending on lower-cost
solutions (such as display) through at least the remainder of 2023.
As a result, Tremor International provides the following guidance:
- Full year 2023 Contribution ex-TAC in a range of
approximately $310 - $315 million
- Full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA in a range of approximately $80
- $85 million
- Programmatic revenue to reflect 90% of the Company’s full year
2023 revenue
- Management continues to believe the
combination of the Company’s diversified and durable business
model, focus on core strategic growth drivers, enhanced ability to
drive multi-solution enterprise deals, greater stability following
the completed integration of Amobee, and growing demand for its
programmatic solutions and recently added products, will strongly
position the Company for outsized long-term market share gains,
particularly as CTV advertising demand conditions improve, and as
the Company’s recently strengthened sales and marketing team
continues to gain further traction.

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.

negative impact of inflationary pressures, rising interest rates,
geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, conflict and war,
recession concerns, and widespread global supply chain issues that
have limited advertising activity and the anticipation that these
challenges could continue to have an impact for the remainder of
2023 and beyond; the Company’s plans with respect to its cash
reserves; the anticipated benefits from the Company’s investment in
VIDAA and its enhanced strategic relationship with Hisense; the
anticipated benefits from the Company’s partnership with Lumen and
TVision; the anticipated benefits from the Amobee acquisition; the
anticipated benefits of the rebranding of the Tremor group to
Nexxen, and the Company’s plans with respect thereto, as well as
any other statements related to Tremor’s future financial results
and operating performance. These statements are neither promises
nor guarantees but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other important factors that may cause Tremor's actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from its
expectations expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to, the following: negative
global economic conditions; global conflicts and war, including the
current terrorist attacks by Hamas, and the war and hostilities
between Israel and Hamas and Israel and Hezbollah, and how those
conditions may adversely impact Tremor’s business, customers, and
the markets in which Tremor competes; changes in industry trends;
the risk that Tremor will not realize the anticipated benefits of
its acquisition of Amobee and strategic investment in VIDAA; and,
other negative developments in Tremor's business or unfavourable
legislative or regulatory developments. Tremor cautions you not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. For a
more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that
could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties
should review the risk factors listed in Tremor’s most recent
Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) on March 7, 2023. Any
forward-looking statements made by Tremor in this press release
speak only as of the date of this press release, and Tremor does
not intend to update these forward-looking statements after the
date of this press release, except as required by law.
