Insights

The Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges for Perion Network. Total revenue declined 45% to $102.2 million, with Search Advertising revenue plummeting 76%. The Microsoft Bing contract non-renewal will further impact future revenues. However, there are bright spots in growth segments - DOOH grew 63%, Retail media 62% and CTV 19%.

Net income dropped dramatically by 94% to $2.1 million, while Adjusted EBITDA fell 83% to $7.4 million. The company maintains a strong cash position of $383.9 million and is executing a share buyback program, having repurchased $33.5 million worth of shares.

Despite headwinds, management reiterated full-year guidance of $490-510 million revenue and $48-52 million Adjusted EBITDA, suggesting confidence in their diversification strategy toward high-growth advertising channels.

The advertising landscape shift is evident in Perion's results. While traditional search and open web video revenues declined sharply, next-generation advertising channels show robust growth. DOOH now represents 23% of Advertising Solutions revenue, up from 11%, while Retail Media grew to 26% from 13%.

The company's strategic pivot toward omni-channel advertising solutions aligns with industry trends, but the transition period is creating significant near-term pressure on financials. The margin profile is evolving, with TAC improving to 53% of revenue from 58%, indicating potential for better profitability as the revenue mix shifts.

Growth engines continue to excel: Digital Out of Home (DOOH), Retail media and CTV grew 63%1, 62% and 19% year-over-year, respectively

NEW YORK & TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PERI), a technology leader in connecting advertisers to consumers across all major digital channels, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Third-quarter results were in line with our expectations as we continue to capitalize on the strength of DOOH, Retail Media, and CTV,” commented Tal Jacobson, Perion’s CEO. “All three growth engines delivered strong results in the quarter, signaling that our multi-channel strategy is gaining traction with advertisers who trust us to activate their messages across all screens and formats. DOOH, Retail Media and CTV are leading today’s industry trends, and we are committed to developing and introducing new innovative omni-channel solutions that position Perion at the forefront of these high-growth areas.”

“Perion strives to serve its customers at the highest level while profitably growing the business and delivering value to shareholders. We will continue to accomplish this by combining internally developed and integrated technology solutions and adding more successful and synergetic growth engines organically and inorganically. We expect to generate positive operating cash flow in 2024, as we have consistently done since 2014.” concluded Mr. Jacobson.

Financial Outlook 1

The company is reiterating its previously issued full-year 2024 guidance based on current expectations.

FY 2024 Guidance

  • Revenue of $490 to $510 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 of $48 to $52 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 to contribution ex-TAC2 of 23% at the midpoint

Share Repurchase program

As part of the company’s $75 million share repurchase program announced earlier this year, in the third quarter of 2024, Perion repurchased 1.6 million shares in the amount of approximately $13.5 million. As of the end of the third quarter, the company repurchased a total of 3.6 million shares, bringing the total spend under the share repurchase program to $33.5 million.

1 We have not provided an outlook for GAAP Income from operations or reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP Income from operations, the closest corresponding GAAP measure, because we do not provide guidance for certain of the reconciling items on a consistent basis due to the variability and complexity of these items, including but not limited to the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expenses directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuation in our share price and amortization in connection with future acquisitions. Hence, we are unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.
2 Contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Diluted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See below reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

Financial Comparison for the Third Quarter of 2024

Revenue: Revenue decreased by 45% to $102.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $185.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Advertising Solutions revenue decreased 18% year-over-year, accounting for 80% of total revenue, primarily due to a 63% decrease in Video revenue, partially offset by a $18.6 million increase in Digital Out of Home revenue and a 19% year-over-year increase in CTV revenue to $9.5 million. Search Advertising revenue decreased by 76% year-over-year, accounting for 20% of revenue, primarily due to 78% decrease in Average Daily Searches and 71% decrease in the number of publishers, following the changes implemented by Microsoft Bing earlier this year.

Traffic Acquisition Costs and Media Buy (“TAC”): TAC amounted to $54.6 million, or 53% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $108.0 million, or 58% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2023. The margin expansion was primarily due to changes in the product mix following the reduction in the Search business

GAAP Net Income: GAAP net income decreased by 94% to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $32.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Net Income: Non-GAAP net income was $11.9 million, or 12% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $42.4 million, or 23% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income is included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $7.4 million, or 7% of revenue (and 16% of Contribution ex-TAC) in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $42.7 million, or 23% of revenue (and 55% of Contribution ex-TAC) in the third quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release.

Cash Flow from Operations: Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2024 was $16.2 million, compared with $40.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Net cash: As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities amounted to $383.9 million, compared with $472.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude certain items. This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earning per share.

Contribution ex-TAC presents revenue reduced by traffic acquisition costs and media buy, reflecting a portion of our revenue that must be directly passed to publishers or advertisers and presents our revenue excluding such items. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the performance of the Company because it facilitates a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs and media buy related to revenue reported on a gross basis.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, retention and other acquisition-related expenses and gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are defined as net income and net earnings per share excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, revaluation of acquisition-related contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, non-recurring expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses associated with ASC-842, as well as gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of our business. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required for such presentation without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included in this press release. A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the last table of this press release.
