Q2 2024 DoubleVerify Holdings Inc Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- DoubleVerify Holdings Inc (DV) achieved the high end of its revenue guidance and significantly exceeded profitability and cash flow expectations.
- Second quarter revenue grew by 17% year-over-year to $156 million, with double-digit revenue growth across all three lines: activation, measurement, and supply side.
- Gross margin reached 83%, and adjusted EBITDA was $47 million, representing a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin.
- The company saw significant growth in social measurement revenue, which increased by 44% year-over-year, driven by short-form video on platforms like TikTok, Meta reels, and YouTube shorts.
- DoubleVerify Holdings Inc (DV) expanded its global footprint, with more impressions measured outside North America than within for the first time in its history.
- Measure transaction fees (MTF) declined by 5% year-over-year due to product and geographic mix.
- Premium price activation represented a smaller portion of total revenue compared to the prior year period.
- The company noted a slow start in retail and CPG advertisers who are heavy users of ABS, impacting ABS growth in the second quarter.
- Despite the positive outlook, the company has not factored any meaningful incremental revenue from increased adoption of its measurement solution on Meta for the second half of the year.
- The company anticipates that the revenue impact from new opportunities, such as former Moat customers, will primarily kick in during early 2025 due to the time required for onboarding and ramp-up.
