“Earlier this month, we announced our transformational ‘Perion One’ strategy and platform. This strategy will unify our brands and technologies into one advanced platform named ‘Perion One’, which will support our position as the partner of choice for brands, agencies, and retailers navigating the complexities of modern advertising. Perion One will harness advanced AI algorithms to help solve these challenges for our customers while aiming to optimize our cost structure and enhance our ability to scale in a more profitable way.”

Along with Kenny Lau, who was promoted to Perion’s Chief Product Officer, and Mina Naguib, who was promoted to Perion’s Chief Technology Officer, I am confident our entire talented leadership team will achieve our goals to become the technology partner for brands, retailers, and agencies.”

"As part of the new Perion One strategy, we are focusing on the more profitable solutions that align with our strategy. With a solid foundation backed by a robust balance sheet, we are well-positioned to pursue our growth ambitions.

Financial Outlook for Full-Year 20252

2025 guidance reflects our commitment to continue building our Perion One platform while focusing on more profitable technologies and solutions that align with our strategy.

The Company is providing the following full-year 2025 guidance ranges based on current expectations:

• Revenue of $400 to $420 million
• Adjusted EBITDA1 of $40 to $42 million
• Adjusted EBITDA1 to contribution ex-TAC1 of 22% at the midpoint

Share Repurchase program

As part of the company’s $75 million share repurchase program announced last year, in the fourth quarter of 2024, Perion repurchased 1.6 million shares in the amount of approximately $13.4 million. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the company repurchased a total of 5.2 million shares, bringing the total spend under the share repurchase program to $46.9 million.

1 Contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP Net Income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Free Cash Flow and non-GAAP Diluted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See below reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures 2 Perion has 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 it does 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 stock-based compensation expenses directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuation in the share price and amortization in connection with future acquisitions. Hence, we are unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.

Financial Comparison for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

Revenue: Revenue decreased by 45% to $129.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 from $234.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Advertising Solutions revenue decreased 13% year-over-year, accounting for 80% of total revenue, primarily due to a 61% decrease in Video revenue, partially offset by a $23.6 million increase in Digital Out of Home revenue and a 10% year-over-year increase in CTV revenue to $15.8 million. Search Advertising revenue decreased by 78% year-over-year, accounting for 20% of revenue, following the previously announced changes implemented by Microsoft Bing in 2024.

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, non-GAAP diluted earning per share and adjusted free cash flow.

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, unusual legal 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.

Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property and equipment, but excluding the purchase of property and equipment related to our new corporate headquarter office and the portion of the cash payment of contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value, as we do not view either of those expenses as reflective of our normal on-going expenses. It is important to note that these expenses are in fact cash expenditures.

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, unusual legal costs, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, revaluation of acquisition-related contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, 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.
