DoubleVerify Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue Increased 44% Year-over Year to $76.5 Million, driven by Growth in Programmatic, CTV, Social and International Revenue

Advertiser Programmatic Revenue Increased 57% to $37.9 Million

Full-Year 2021 Revenue Outlook Raised

DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“We delivered an outstanding second quarter fueled by record Programmatic Revenue as advertisers adopted our industry-leading Authentic Brand Safety solution on Google’s DV360 and additional programmatic buying platforms,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “Product innovation success, industry-leading accreditations in fast-growing sectors such as CTV and Social, and continued investments in enhancing our international footprint have yielded new enterprise client wins and meaningful expansion opportunities within our existing blue-chip customer base. Our ongoing product and market leadership combined with digital advertising spend tailwinds, make us optimistic about our growth prospects for the rest of the year and beyond.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are to the second quarter of 2020)

  • Total revenue of $76.5 million, an increase of 44%.
  • Advertiser Direct revenue of $31.7 million, an increase of 34%.
    • Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) for Social increased by 100% and for CTV increased by 89%.
    • APAC revenue increased by 73%.
    • EMEA revenue increased by 62%.
  • Advertiser Programmatic revenue of $37.9 million, an increase of 57%.
  • Supply-Side revenue of $7.0 million, an increase of 35%.
  • Net loss of $12.6 million due to $18.9 million of one-time IPO transaction costs, and a decrease in diluted earnings per share to $(0.08).
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $21.2 million, an increase of 35% while the Company continues to invest in global operations, including product and engineering, to continue to drive long-term growth.

Second Quarter and Recent 2021 Business Highlights:

  • Grew premium-priced Authentic Brand Safety revenues by 112% year-over-year in the second quarter driven by wide adoption on Google’s DV360 and a second-quarter launch on other programmatic buying platforms including Adform, Quantcast and Pulsepoint.
  • Doubled the number of weekly advertisers using DV Custom Contextual™ in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2021 as our privacy-safe, cookie-free targeting solution was made available to programmatic advertisers through leading DSPs, including The Trade Desk, MediaMath, Adform, Amazon, Verizon Media and Xandr.
  • Won global business at new enterprise clients including Diageo, BMW, Philip Morris International, Grupo Bimbo, and Bumble.
  • Won new enterprise clients in the Americas including Progressive, Target, Zaxby’s, CarGurus and Truist.
  • Launched an app-level CTV brand suitability solution offering wide coverage across all CTV platforms, apps and devices.
  • Extended Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation of CTV capabilities to include DV Video Filtering, a component of DV’s Video Complete CTV Solution, in addition to Fully-On Screen metrics and CTV IVT (invalid traffic) accreditation.
  • Launched TikTok open beta in 14 markets, including viewability and fraud measurement and protection.
  • First in the industry to be awarded three privacy certification seals from TrustArc, aligning DV’s data protection mechanisms with core international data protection principles and standards.

“We achieved 44% total revenue growth and continued to achieve over 95% gross revenue retention in the second quarter. Our solid second quarter EBITDA margins of 28% reflect ongoing strategic investments that will help accelerate our product development roadmap and enhance our expansion in international markets, where we are steadily growing our market share,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our revenue growth expectations for the second half of the year are driven by a positive outlook for the fourth quarter, which tends to benefit from seasonally higher spending on advertising campaigns. In addition to delivering performance that exhibits the high growth and high profitability ‘rule of 60’, our debt-free balance sheet and quarter-end cash position of $330 million dollars provides us the financial flexibility to elevate our long-term growth profile and capture a greater share of a large and growing market opportunity.”

Third Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Guidance:

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

Third quarter 2021:

  • Revenue of $81 to $83 million, a year-over-year increase of 34% at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $22 to $24 million, a year-over-year improvement of 59% at the midpoint.

Full year 2021:

  • Revenue of $325 to $330 million, a year-over-year increase of 34% at the midpoint, higher than the previous guidance range of $322 to $326 million provided on May 25, 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $103 to $105 million, a year-over-year increase of 42% at the midpoint, unchanged from the previous guidance range provided on May 25, 2021.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Third Quarter and Full Year 2021 Guidance" above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income (loss) 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 (loss). In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

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. A metric similar to Adjusted EBITDA is used in certain calculations under our New Revolving Credit Facility. 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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, other costs include reimbursements paid to Providence as well as costs related to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer, and third-party costs incurred in response to investigating and remediating certain IT/cybersecurity matters that occurred in March 2020.

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, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our 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 our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; 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.
