Achieved Record Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Revenue and Net Cash from Operating Activities

Increased 2022 Revenue by 36% Year-over-Year to $452.4 Million, Driven by Growth in Pre-Campaign Activation Across Programmatic, Social and CTV

Increased 2022 Net Cash from Operating Activities by 15% to $94.9 Million

DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

“2022 was another year of exceptional growth driven by strong execution,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “We measured 5.5 trillion media transactions, grew revenue by 36% to more than $452 million, achieved 31% adjusted EBITDA margins and generated approximately $95 million of net cash from operating activities. Our ability to significantly outpace the broader digital advertising industry throughout 2022 was fueled by expanding product usage within our existing customer base and by winning new customers, both of which resulted in market share gains across geographies and platforms. Looking ahead, we are excited to meaningfully scale our solutions across fast-growing and underpenetrated media environments such as CTV, Social media and Retail Media Networks. We continue to successfully drive our ‘verify everywhere’ mission powered by our industry-leading platform that protects and maximizes media investment, making DV’s products a strategic imperative for advertisers and creating durable demand in 2023 and beyond.”

Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

Grew Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) by 22% and increased Measured Transaction Fee (“MTF”) by 3%.
Continued to achieve a Gross Revenue Retention rate of over 95% in the fourth quarter.
Grew premium-priced Authentic Brand Suitability (ABS) revenues by 38% year-over-year in the fourth quarter driven by new advertisers activating the solution as well as by existing client upsells and geographic expansion.
Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion and new enterprise logo wins, including Dropbox, AirBnB, GlaxoSmithKline, Swarovski, Mattress Firm, Adobe Japan and Fujifilm Japan.
Successfully launched post campaign Brand Safety and Suitability measurement on TikTok and on Twitter’s newsfeed, known as Timelines. This proprietary solution leverages DV’s artificial intelligence, machine learning, ontology, and manual review to give advertisers confidence that their ads are appearing next to content that is brand safe and suitable.
Launched the industry’s first-ever scalable solution to verify viewability on Connected TV (CTV), augmenting advertiser confidence in their media investment on this premium channel. This expansion of viewability enables advertisers to more fully measure delivery of the DV Authentic Ad™ across CTV inventory. The DV Authentic Ad™ is a proprietary, MRC-accredited metric that ensures consistent media quality across digital environments.
Received Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for its DV Authentic Attention® metrics, DV’s attention-based analytics and performance solution. This first time accreditation for attention spans DV’s full set of display and video DV Authentic Attention® metrics for desktop, mobile web, and mobile app.
Uncovered “BeatSting,” the first large-scale ad impression fraud scheme to target audio inventory. Since the DV Fraud Lab first identified the family of fraud in 2019, an estimated $20 million has been siphoned from advertisers. BeatSting alone is responsible for costing unprotected advertisers up to $1 million per month.

“We delivered another strong year with 36% revenue growth and 31% adjusted EBITDA margins as we continued to outperform the broader digital advertising industry through a challenging macroeconomic environment,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our fourth quarter and full-year outperformance is a testament to the essential nature of our products and to the strong execution of our teams. Our pipeline remains robust and with nearly $270 million dollars of cash and zero debt on our balance sheet, we are well-positioned to drive further business expansion and accelerate our long term growth.”

First Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Guidance:

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

First Quarter 2023:

Revenue of $117 to $119 million, a year-over-year increase of 22% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $28 to $30 million, representing a 25% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2023:

Revenue of $550 to $564 million, a year-over-year increase of 23% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $164 to $172 million, representing a 30% margin at the midpoint.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "First Quarter and Full Year 2023 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 stock-based compensation expense, 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 2022 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, March 1, 2023. 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.

Key Business Terms

Activation revenue is generated from the evaluation, verification and measurement of advertising impressions purchased through programmatic demand-side and social media platforms.

Measurement revenue is generated from the verification and measurement of advertising impressions that are directly purchased on digital media properties, including publishers and social media platforms.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in our 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 our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, 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.
