Insights

Financial Analyst

Analyzing the reported financials, the 15.2% increase in Q4 revenue for AdTheorent is a strong indicator of the company's growth trajectory, particularly in the context of a challenging advertising market transitioning away from traditional cookie-based tracking. The improvement in both gross profit and adjusted gross profit margins suggests operational efficiencies and a higher value product mix. The year-over-year revenue growth of 136% in self-service is particularly noteworthy, signaling a shift in the company's business model towards more scalable, platform-based solutions.

However, the decrease in net income from $7.6 million to $1.3 million in Q4 and a break-even net result for the full year, compared to $28.8 million in net income the previous year, raises questions about the company's cost structure and the sustainability of its growth. The fluctuations in mark to market gains and losses related to the Seller's Earn-Out and Warrants liabilities also add a layer of complexity to the financial analysis, potentially obscuring the underlying operational performance.

Market Research Analyst

The strategic focus on growing accounts with larger media budgets is a prudent approach, as evidenced by the 11.8% increase in average revenue per active customer. This suggests that AdTheorent is successfully targeting and retaining higher-value clients. The growth in the health sector, with an 89% increase in revenue, is particularly impressive and indicates that AdTheorent's offerings are resonating in verticals with strict privacy requirements. The recognition by Frost & Sullivan positions AdTheorent favorably within the competitive landscape of demand-side platforms (DSPs).

Technology Industry Analyst

AdTheorent's focus on ID-independent machine learning technology is a strategic move in anticipation of the industry's shift away from cookies. Their efforts to configure systems to leverage Google APIs and aggregate data exchanges align with the broader industry's pivot towards privacy-centric advertising solutions. As the market continues to adapt to privacy regulations and changes in consumer data usage, AdTheorent's technology could provide a competitive edge and drive long-term growth.

*The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See the supplementary schedules in this press release for a discussion of how the Company defines and calculates these measures and a reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook:

Based on the current business environment, recent performance and the current trends in the marketplace and subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, the Company's outlook for the full-year 2024 includes the following:

• Revenue in the range of $188.0 million to $195.0 million.
• Adjusted Gross Profit* between 64% to 65% of revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA* margin of between 20% and 25% of Adjusted Gross Profit*.

Although the Company provides guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, it is not able to provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of net income, including equity-based compensation, are not predictable, making it impractical for the Company to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. Similarly, although the Company provides guidance for Adjusted Gross Profit, it is not able to provide guidance for Gross Profit, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of Gross Profit, including equity-based compensation, are not predictable, making it impractical for the Company to provide guidance on Gross Profit or to reconcile its Adjusted Gross Profit guidance to Gross Profit without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information regarding net income and Gross Profit, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit. The Company’s management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company’s operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity and make strategic decisions. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management.

Because of the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, “Adjusted Gross Profit,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Adjusted Gross Profit” should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate AdTheorent’s business.

The tables below show the Company’s non-GAAP financial metrics reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial metrics included in this release.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP profitability measure. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure of campaign profitability, monitored by Company management and the Board, used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and trends, develop short- and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The Company believes this measure provides a useful period-to-period comparison of campaign profitability and is useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measurement, which is calculated as revenue less platform operations costs. In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, the Company adds back other platform operations costs, which consist of amortization expense related to capitalized software, depreciation expense, allocated costs of personnel which set up and monitor campaign performance, and platform hosting, license, and maintenance costs, to gross profit.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of revenue to Adjusted Gross Profit for the periods presented:

Revenue		$	59,658			$	51,781			$	170,809			$	166,082

Gross Profit			31,654				26,544				81,664				82,638
Add back: Other platform operations			8,248				7,203				29,567				27,182
Adjusted Gross Profit		$	39,902			$	33,747			$	111,231			$	109,820

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income, before interest income, net, depreciation, amortization and income tax provision. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs, non-core operations and other non-recurring items. Net income is the most comparable GAAP measurement.

Collectively these non-GAAP financial measures are key profitability measures used by Company management and the Board to understand and evaluate its operating performance and trends, develop short-and long-term operational plans, measure performance goals in employee equity incentive awards, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The Company believes that these measures can provide useful period-to-period comparisons of campaign profitability. Accordingly, the Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as Company management and the Board.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
