Subsequent to quarter-end, DV repurchased an additional 1.5 million shares for $25.0 million, with $75.0 million remaining available under the initial $150 million share repurchase authorization as of November 6, 2024.
  • Additionally, the Company announced a new authorization of $200.0 million for additional common stock repurchases, providing a total of $275 million currently authorized and available for share repurchases.

“In the third quarter, we met our revenue and surpassed our adjusted EBITDA expectations, delivering 18% year-over-year growth, a revenue less cost of sales margin of 83%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 35%,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our solid results were based on double-digit revenue growth across activation, measurement, and supply-side, driven by continued growth in key environments such as programmatic, social, CTV, and retail media. We are raising adjusted EBITDA guidance to 33% at the midpoint, while adjusting our full-year revenue guidance midpoint to 16% growth, to account for moderated brand spending during the U.S. election season and a more gradual ramp in social measurement adoption. We have announced a new $200 million authorization for further stock repurchases, bringing the total available for share repurchases to $275 million, which demonstrates our confidence in DV’s long-term growth prospects.”

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Guidance:

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

Fourth Quarter 2024:

  • Revenue of $194 to $200 million, a year-over-year increase of 14% at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $73 to $79 million, representing a 39% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2024:

  • Revenue of $660 to $666 million, a year-over-year increase of 16% at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $218 to $224 million, representing a 33% margin at the midpoint.

With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 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 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 third quarter 2024 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, November 6, 2024.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated 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 the core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in 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 the industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore 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.
