TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) has released its preliminary unaudited financial results for 2024 and outlook for 2025. The company reported over 30% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by diversification into tech and data-powered products, retail media networks, and strategic partnerships.

The company's adjusted EBITDA is approaching profitability, excluding one-time DeSPAC and IPO expenses and currency fluctuations. TNMG achieved significant operational synergies across Japan and Taiwan markets, with plans to further diversify across languages and expand into data analytics, content commerce, and AI services.

Currently trading at a price-to-sales ratio of 0.5x and price-to-book ratio of 0.4x, management believes the company is undervalued compared to industry standards. The company expects continued revenue growth and EBITDA improvement in 2025, focusing on multilingual media expansion, content commerce, and AI-driven operational efficiency.

Insights

TNL Mediagene's preliminary 2024 results show impressive revenue growth exceeding 30% year-over-year, a strong performance for a public company in the media technology sector. Their strategic diversification into tech and data-powered products—particularly retail media networks and short-form video—is driving this growth in a competitive landscape.

The adjusted EBITDA trajectory is particularly noteworthy. While not yet profitable, they're approaching breakeven on a normalized basis when excluding one-time DeSPAC/IPO expenses and currency fluctuations. This suggests improving operational efficiency despite being in a growth phase.

Management's 2025 outlook indicates continued revenue expansion with particular focus on enhancing monetization through content commerce, brand performance advertising, and video commerce. Their strategy to leverage AI for operational efficiency should help address cost structures.

The company's current valuation metrics—P/S ratio of ~0.5x and P/B ratio of ~0.4x—do appear conservative compared to typical media and martech industry multiples, which often trade at significantly higher valuations. This suggests potential for multiple expansion if they continue executing on growth while approaching profitability.

The resilience against potential U.S. tariff impacts is a positive differentiator for a company with significant Asian operations. While TNL Mediagene is making commendable progress toward profitability, investors should monitor whether the promised EBITDA improvements materialize in 2025, as this will likely be a key catalyst for any valuation reassessment.

NEW YORK and TOKYO, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG), a leading media and technology company in Asia, today announced its preliminary unaudited financial results highlights for the year ended December 31, 2024, and provided an outlook for 2025.

2024 Unaudited Preliminary Highlights

  1. Pro-Forma Revenue Growth: TNL Mediagene achieved a revenue increase of more than 30% year-over-year. This growth was driven by revenue diversification into more tech and data powered products, like establishing retail media networks, new strategic data partnerships, and innovative content, resulting in increased user engagement, especially in short-form video formats.
  2. Pro-Forma EBITDA: On a normalized basis excluding extraordinary items, including one-time DeSPAC and IPO expenses, and currency fluctuations, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be near profitability.

Management Commentary

"Despite the one-time DeSPAC and IPO fees and time and resource consuming process, 2024 was a very successful year for us," said Joey Chung, CEO of TNL Mediagene. "Our revenue grew considerably, and EBITDA margins improved substantially as well, especially when excluding foreign exchange adjustments, which would show even larger numbers. We achieved significant synergies across our operations in Japan and Taiwan, and aim to continue to greatly diversify our media, revenue and products across different languages, and include more data analytics, content commerce and AI services. We are confident that 2025 will also be a year of growth for us. Importantly, we are one of the few media/tech/data/e-commerce companies that are close to achieving operational profitability, while still in its growth stage. Furthermore, the recently proposed U.S. government tariff rules are not expected to impact TNMG's operations or this year's business performance forecasts."

"Looking ahead to 2025, we are focused on diversifying our media multilingualization and revenue sources, enhancing content commerce and brand performance advertising, and strengthening video and video commerce for monetization. By leveraging technology and data, we aim to capture retail media ad budgets and support our corporate commerce business. Additionally, we will continue to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs using AI technology to automate content creation, martech products, translation, and other tasks."

"We believe TNL Mediagene is currently undervalued and trading at an attractive level, with a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of around 0.5x and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of around 0.4x, while the media, martech and data analytics industries trade well above those ranges.  Across the board, we are working to improve our overall profitability structure, EBITDA margin and seize growing opportunities to build value for our stakeholders. Together we believe our efforts can result in continued revenue growth and EBITDA improvement for 2025."

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures 

In this press release we have included adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, which is a key measure used by our management and board of directors in evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is our preferred metric for profitability because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.

We define adjusted EBITDA as profit (loss) for the period excluding depreciation expenses and amortization expenses as well as extraordinary items associated with one-time events and transactions, such as one-time transaction-related expenses not eligible for capitalization.
