“We delivered a strong third quarter, expanding our product and
channel capabilities while achieving the largest global market
share gains in DoubleVerify’s history,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of
DoubleVerify. “We expanded our measurement solutions across
multiple channels and won a majority of the enterprise RFPs across
advertisers, platforms, and publishers in the third quarter, firmly
solidifying DV’s position as the premier protection and performance
partner for the world's largest businesses. This success
underscores DV’s unique ability to drive trust and efficiency
across the digital advertising ecosystem, as we now have
established enterprise relationships with the largest CPG,
technology, retail, pharma, and media companies in the world.
Looking ahead, we are focused on innovations like our upcoming
social media activation, which will further expand our addressable
market. Building on sustained double-digit growth across all three
revenue lines, our solutions continue to resonate, empowering the
advertising ecosystem to maximize efficiency, reduce waste, and

- Announced DV’s upcoming introduction of a content-level pre-bid
avoidance on Facebook and Instagram Feed and
Reels, expanding DV’s suite of independent brand safety and
suitability tools on Meta. This release will better empower
advertisers to proactively avoid unsuitable content before their
ads are served, protecting brand reputation across Meta’s
platforms. DV and Meta anticipate this pre-bid avoidance solution
will be available for all advertisers in early 2025.
- Announced the introduction of DV’s Video Exclusion List
solution on TikTok, enabling advertisers to apply
industry-aligned vertical sensitivity and category exclusions
tailored to their brand’s specific needs. This solution is expected
to be available to all advertisers by the first half of 2025.
- Expanded post-bid brand suitability measurement on Meta
and TikTok by adding an Inflammatory Politics & News
category, which includes coverage of unreliable or unsubstantiated
information, deepfakes, and inflammatory political rhetoric.
Powered by DV Universal Content Intelligence™, this expansion
ensures robust brand protection across these key platforms.
- Expanded measurement coverage on TikTok to inventory
types such as Profile, Following, and Search Feeds, as well as
TikTok Lite placements, alongside existing coverage on the For You
Page. Additionally, DV has expanded language support to Arabic and
Tagalog-speaking markets. Powered by DV Universal Content
Intelligence™, these expansions ensure comprehensive brand
protection and greater transparency across TikTok’s growing
inventory and global reach.
- Announced an expanded partnership with Snap to offer
global brand safety and suitability measurement in multiple
languages, leveraging DV’s AI-powered Universal Content
Intelligence.
- Partnered with Roblox to begin the development of 3D
in-experience viewability and invalid traffic (IVT) measurement on
Roblox, integrating with immersive ads across image and video
formats on mobile web and in-app environments.
- Expanded viewability and IVT measurement solutions to
Spotify’s video campaigns through Spotify Ads Manager. As
Spotify grows its video ad offerings—driven by user engagement with
video podcasts, music videos, and other interactive
content—advertisers can leverage DV’s trusted media quality
insights to measure and improve campaign performance.
- Launched the first platform-wide invalid traffic detection and
viewability verification solution on Instacart, the leading
grocery technology company in North America, to measure and
maximize advertiser performance across the platform.
- Expanded viewability and IVT measurement solutions to
LinkedIn’s owned and operated video inventory in all
available markets using DV technology through a proprietary

Suitability technology to drive better performance and support
trusted journalism.
Share Repurchase Program:
- Repurchased 1.3 million shares for $25.0 million in the third
quarter, bringing total repurchases to 2.6 million shares for $50.1
million over the nine months ended September 30, 2024, inclusive of
broker commissions. 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. To access the conference
call, dial (877) 841-2987 for the U.S. or Canada, or (215) 268-9878
for international callers. The webcast will be available live on

https://ir.doubleverify.com/. 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.
