DoubleVerify Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Increased Revenue by 43% Year-over-Year to $109.8 Million, a Record for the Second Quarter, Driven by Global Growth in Pre-Campaign Activation Across Programmatic, Social and CTV
Activation Revenue Increased 60% to $60.5 Million
Achieved Net Income of $10.3 Million and Second Quarter Record Adjusted EBITDA of $34.0 Million, representing a 31% Adjusted EBITDA margin
Raised Midpoints of Full-Year 2022 Guidance Ranges to 35% Total Revenue Growth and 31% Adjusted EBITDA margins
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
“We delivered an outstanding second quarter and surpassed our expectations for growth and profitability fueled by record Activation revenue and continued momentum on Social and CTV platforms,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “As advertisers seek stability and clarity in an increasingly unstable and opaque marketing environment, they continue to choose DV’s industry-leading quality and performance solutions to protect their brands and reduce media waste, ultimately driving better outcomes and ROI. Based on our strong results in the first half of 2022, we are raising our guidance for full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We remain confident that our growing global scale, market leading innovation, and legacy of trust will further deepen our client relationships and fuel steady growth that will outperform our competitors and the broader digital ad industry in 2022 and beyond.”
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:
(All comparisons are to the second quarter of 2021)
- Total revenue of $109.8 million, an increase of 43%.
- Activation revenue of $60.5 million, an increase of 60%.
-
Measurement revenue of $38.9 million, an increase of 23%.
- Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) for CTV and Social increased by 56% and 26% respectively.
- International measurement revenue increased by 18%, with EMEA revenue growth of 14% and APAC revenue growth of 25%.
- Supply-Side revenue of $10.4 million, an increase of 49%.
- Net income of $10.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of $34.0 million, which increased by 60% and represented a 31% adjusted EBITDA margin.
Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:
- Grew Total Advertiser revenue by 43% year-over-year in the second quarter primarily due to a 24% increase in Media Transactions Measured (“MTM”) and a 10% increase in Measured Transaction Fee (“MTF”), and continued to achieve a Gross Revenue Retention rate of over 95% in the second quarter.
- Grew premium-priced Authentic Brand Suitability (ABS) revenues by 52% year-over-year in the second quarter driven by existing client upsells and geographic expansion as well as by a 20% year-over-year increase in the number of advertisers activating the solution in the second quarter of 2022.
- Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion and new enterprise logo wins including British Airways, Taco Bell, Universal Parks, Roshfrans, Meta, Asda, Califia Farms, Infiniti and Smile Direct.
- Continued to expand our coverage in the digital gaming sector and began working with Twitch Ads on a solution to identify contextually brand-safe and suitable livestreamed content for advertisers on Twitch. The solution is currently in closed beta. Twitch is an interactive livestreaming service and global community.
- Launched an exclusive partnership with Reddit to enable full-suite media verification and maximize advertiser performance across its dynamic, user generated content environment.
- Launched an exclusive partnership with Scope3 to provide advertiser and agency customers with a comprehensive campaign-based carbon footprint metric via DV’s flagship service and analytics platform, DV Pinnacle®.
- Launched a platform-wide agreement with the LinkedIn Audience Network to provide brand safety and fraud prevention for all LinkedIn native ads across desktop, mobile web and in-app. The integration uses DV’s technology and data to not only ensure that all campaigns activated through the LinkedIn Audience Network are brand safe, but also fraud-free.
“We delivered strong revenue growth in the first half of 2022 due to the resilience of our business model and the essential nature of our products,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “Our revenue outperformance translated into stronger than expected adjusted EBITDA margins, which also benefited from the faster integration of recent acquisitions and our overall financial discipline, ensuring that our operating expense growth was commensurate with our expected revenue growth. At the midpoints of our raised full-year guidance range, we now expect 35% revenue growth and 31% adjusted EBITDA margins. We continue to monitor the impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment on our clients’ ad budgets, and to engage them in regular dialogue as we successfully execute our plan for the rest of the year.”
Third Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Guidance:
DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:
Third Quarter 2022:
- Revenue of $108 to $110 million, a year-over-year increase of 31% at the midpoint.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $32 to $34 million, representing a 30% margin at the midpoint.
Full Year 2022:
- Revenue of $448 to $450 million, a year-over-year increase of 35% at the midpoint.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $136 to $140 million, representing a 31% margin at the midpoint.
With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Third Quarter and Full Year 2022 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 stock-based compensation expense, 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 second quarter 2022 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, August 3, 2022. 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 the Investors section of the Company’s website at 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.
Key Business Terms
Activation revenue is generated from the evaluation, verification and measurement of advertising impressions purchased through programmatic demand-side and social media platforms.
Measurement revenue is generated from the verification and measurement of advertising impressions that are directly purchased on digital media properties, including publishers and social media platforms.
Supply-Side revenue is generated from platforms and publisher partners who use DoubleVerify’s data analytics to evaluate, verify and measure their advertising inventory.
Gross Revenue Retention Rate is the total prior period revenue earned from advertiser customers, less the portion of prior period revenue attributable to lost advertiser customers, divided by the total prior period revenue from advertiser customers.
Media Transactions Measured (MTM) is the volume of media transactions that DoubleVerify’s software platform measures.
Measured Transaction Fee (MTF) is the fixed fee DoubleVerify charges per thousand Media Transactions Measured.
International Revenue Growth Rates are inclusive of foreign currency fluctuations. Based on this methodology, the international measurement revenue growth rate is 32% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For prior periods, international revenue growth rates excluded foreign currency fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.

- M&A and restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 consist of transaction costs, integration and restructuring costs related to the acquisition of OpenSlate. M&A costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 consist of reductions to deferred compensation liabilities related to acquisitions.
- Offering, IPO readiness and secondary offering costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 consist of third-party costs incurred for the Company’s IPO and secondary offering.
- Other costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 consist of costs related to the departures of the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer and Chief Customer Officer, impairment related to a subleased office space and costs related to the disposal of furniture for unoccupied lease office space, partially offset by sublease income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, other costs include reimbursements paid to Providence.
- Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 consists of the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with monetary assets and liabilities.
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 our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in our 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 our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, 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.
Total stock-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income is as follows:
