Nexxen International Ltd. (AIM/NASDAQ: NEXN) (“Nexxen” or the
“Company”), a global, unified advertising technology platform with
deep expertise in video and Connected TV (“CTV”), announced today
its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,
2024.
Financial Summary
- Contribution ex-TAC: Generated Contribution
ex-TAC of $69.7 million in Q1 2024, reflecting a 4% organic
increase from $66.9 million in Q1 2023. Contribution ex-TAC growth
was driven by strength in programmatic revenue, display, mobile
video, audio, data products, and PMPs, partially offset by a
decline in CTV revenue.
- Programmatic Revenue: Programmatic revenue was
$65.6 million in Q1 2024, reflecting a 5% organic increase from
$62.5 million in Q1 2023, as well as a Q1 record. Programmatic
revenue growth was driven by year-over-year increases in
programmatic display, and mobile and desktop video revenue.
- CTV Revenue: CTV revenue was $18.8 million in
Q1 2024, reflecting an 11% decrease from $21.3 million in Q1 2023.
CTV revenue in Q1 2024 remained impacted by reduced CTV advertising
activity from some of Nexxen’s largest small and mid-sized agency
customers, who continued to opt for the Company’s lower-cost
programmatic display and mobile and desktop video solutions. The
Company, however, has observed sequential CTV revenue growth to
this point in Q2 2024 from the same point in Q1 2024, driven by
improving market conditions and its partnership with Alphonso Inc.
and LG Electronics, Inc. beginning to accelerate.
- CTV and Programmatic Revenue Percentages: CTV
revenue in Q1 2024 represented 29% of programmatic revenue,
compared to 34% in Q1 2023. Programmatic revenue increased to 88%
of revenue in Q1 2024 compared to 87% in Q1 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Generated Adjusted EBITDA of
$11.9 million in Q1 2024, a 34% increase from $8.9 million in Q1
2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margins: Achieved a 17%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin on a Contribution ex-TAC basis, and 16% on a
revenue basis, in Q1 2024, compared to 13% on a Contribution ex-TAC
basis, and 12% on a revenue basis in Q1 2023.
- Video Revenue: Video revenue continued to
represent a majority of the Company’s programmatic revenue at 66%
in Q1 2024 compared to 75% in Q1 2023. Despite the year-over-year
decrease, driven by a combination of increased programmatic
display, reduced CTV, and increased programmatic revenue, the
Company believes its video revenue percentage remains above the
industry average and that it is positioned to drive long-term video
revenue growth.
- Liquidity Resources: As of March 31, 2024, the
Company had net cash of $144.9 million, consisting of cash and cash
equivalents of $244.9 million, offset by approximately $100.0
million in principal long-term debt, as well as $80 million undrawn
on its revolving credit facility. On April 9, 2024, the Company
fully repaid its approximately $100 million outstanding principal
long-term debt balance which expanded the undrawn amount on its
revolving credit facility from $80 million to $90 million. The
Company intends to prioritize capital allocation on share
repurchases, strategic internal growth and innovation investments
and initiatives, and ongoing business needs.
“In Q1 2024, we completed our rebrand, enhanced
our data suite with premium on-the-go streaming data, and expanded
our TV partnerships, now boasting strong relationships with all the
world’s major CTV OEMs. Positioned as a go-to strategic partner at
the forefront of the TV and video AdTech ecosystems, Nexxen is
poised to capitalize on a growing opportunity in an improving
market,” said Ofer Druker, CEO of Nexxen. “We also recently
introduced our innovative Nexxen Data Platform, enabling better
data monetization, forged exciting new partnerships with industry
leaders, and boosted spending and product adoption among our
largest clients. These achievements, combined with our visibility
into the remainder of the year, enable us to confidently reaffirm
our full year guidance.”
Operational Highlights
- Completed rebrand to Nexxen, enabling the Company to
drive large multi-solution end-to-end partnerships with the
industry’s major players
-
Changed the Company’s parent name to Nexxen International Ltd. and
its stock tickers from “TRMR” to “NEXN” in January 2024.
-
The rebranding has enhanced the sales team’s ability to seamlessly
package multiple solutions for customers and prospects and driven
greater industry recognition.
- Expanded CTV partnerships, resulting in Nexxen having
strong relationships with all the world’s major CTV OEMs, and
enhanced TV Intelligence with access to premium on-the-go streaming
data via exclusive PeerLogix partnership
-
Reached an agreement, and launched a three-year strategic
partnership with Alphonso Inc. and LG Electronics, Inc. The
agreement included a cash prepayment and, through the partnership,
advertisers transacting programmatically through Nexxen’s platform
gained access to a portion of LG’s premium CTV inventory. Nexxen is
also providing Alphonso the rights to utilize the Company’s
discovery and segmentation tools.
-
Nexxen recently partnered with Roku, the number one TV streaming
platform in the U.S. by hours streamed, further expanding the
Company’s reach and relationships in the CTV and streaming space.
Nexxen has directly integrated with Roku, providing its customers
access to premium supply in the Roku Channel.
-
Expanded strategic partnership with TCL FFALCON (“TCL”) beyond
access to CTV and OTT supply in the TCL Channel, to also include
exclusively selling TCL’s native display inventory as a preferred
supply partner.
-
Entered an exclusive partnership with PeerLogix, bolstering the
Company’s TV Intelligence solution with premium on-the-go streaming
viewership data critical to enabling a holistic view of audiences
for advertisers across the fragmented digital media and streaming
landscape.
- Generated greater international TV Intelligence
momentum, growing adoption in the U.K., and launching in Australia,
with further major international market expansion expected later in
2024
-
The Company generated increased TV Intelligence adoption in the
U.K. during Q1 2024 after launching the solution in Q4 2023.
-
Recently launched TV Intelligence in Australia which is generating
strong initial demand. The Company believes the launch further
differentiates its platform with Australian customers given
Nexxen’s strong and growing reach in that market.
-
Nexxen plans to launch TV Intelligence in additional major markets,
including Canada, later in 2024, enhancing and expanding the
Company’s international CTV growth opportunity.
-
Nexxen’s international TV Intelligence momentum is being supported
by VIDAA’s growing global reach. VIDAA, the primary CTV operating
system for Hisense (and a subsidiary of Hisense), surpassed a reach
of over 25 million CTVs in late 2023, and was the fastest growing
major smart TV operating system globally in 2023, after growing
shipments 23%. Nexxen has global ACR data exclusivity on
VIDAA-powered smart TVs until at least the end of 2026.
- Enhanced the strength, versatility, and usability of
the Company’s suite of data offerings through the launch of Nexxen
Data Platform, enabling robust data monetization
opportunities
-
Recently launched Nexxen Data Platform, building and expanding upon
Nexxen’s proprietary data management platform (“DMP”), Nexxen
Discovery and TV Intelligence assets.
-
The platform brings together data from several sources including
first-party data from Nexxen clients, exclusive Nexxen data assets
such as global ACR data from VIDAA and streaming data from
PeerLogix, and multiple third-party sources, in a secure and
privacy compliant manner.
-
Customers can leverage Nexxen Data Platform to onboard and enrich
their own first-party data through Nexxen’s suite of data
solutions, enabling better planning, more targeted campaigns, and
expanded reach to seamlessly activate in campaigns.
-
The launch positions Nexxen to monetize its suite of data solutions
more effectively through licensing, media network, and reseller
agreements, each of which can drive incremental SaaS revenue,
reflecting significant long-term high-margin growth
opportunities.
-
The Company is also launching its proprietary Nexxen unified
identity graph solution. The solution will be accessible through
Nexxen Data Platform and will combine and deduplicate multiple
identifiers into a merged graph. This will enable increased scale,
frequency capping, and better targeting and attribution at the
person and household level, while serving as a centerpiece for
helping customers address changes in privacy and identity,
including cookie deprecation.
-
Nexxen Data Platform has already been adopted by key partners,
including Stagwell, and the Company is currently in discussions
with several other potential partners regarding usage of the
platform and the licensing of Nexxen’s data.
- Entered into strategic partnership with
Stagwell
-
In an important partnership for Nexxen, brand clients of the
Stagwell Marketing Cloud will be able to leverage Nexxen Data
Platform, specifically Nexxen’s proprietary identity graph and
Stagwell’s clean room capabilities, to gain deeper insights into
audiences, enhance engagement, and effectively maximize campaign
results through compliant, unified, and comprehensive views of
audiences across touchpoints and devices.
-
Through the partnership, audiences will be securely activated in
campaigns through Nexxen’s end-to-end platform.
-
Added a substantial number of new buy- and sell-side
customers in Q1 2024, while generating increased spending and
product adoption amongst some of the Company’s largest
clients
- Added 88 new actively-spending first-time advertiser customers
to Nexxen DSP in Q1 2024 across several industry verticals
including travel and transportation, food and beverage, finance,
and government, as well as others. This figure included 7 new
enterprise self-service advertiser customers and two new
independent agencies leveraging the Company in a self-service
capacity.
- Nexxen SSP added 54 new supply partners, including 47 in the
U.S., across several verticals and formats including CTV, mobile
app and gaming, display, and online video.
Share Repurchase Program Updates
Completed $20 Million Ordinary Share Repurchase
Program
- Nexxen repurchased 6,225,844 Ordinary shares during Q1 2024 at
an average price of 203.36 pence, reflecting a total investment of
£12.7 million, or $16.1 million.
- The Company announced the completion of its $20 million
Ordinary Share repurchase program on April 25, 2024. Through the
$20 million Ordinary share repurchase program, the Company
repurchased 7,641,797 Ordinary Shares at an average price of 206.28
pence.
- From March 1, 2022 through April 25, 2024, the Company invested
approximately $115 million in 27,054,443 Ordinary shares,
repurchasing approximately 17.5% of shares outstanding,
underscoring Nexxen’s commitment to shareholder friendly capital
allocation and maintaining a prudent balance sheet.
Launched New $50 Million Ordinary Share
Repurchase Program
- The Company launched a new $50 million Ordinary Share
repurchase program on May 7, 2024, following approval from its
Lenders which will continue until the earlier of November 1, 2024
and the date the program is completed. The program does not
obligate Nexxen to repurchase any particular amount of Ordinary
Shares and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued
at any time at the Company’s discretion, subject to applicable
law.
- Upon completion of the current share repurchase program, the
Company’s Board of Directors intends to evaluate the potential for
an additional share repurchase program, subject to then current
market conditions and necessary approvals.
Financial Guidance
-
Nexxen reaffirms its previous financial guidance for the full year
2024:
-
-
Full year 2024 Contribution ex-TAC in a range of
approximately $340 - $345 million
-
Full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $100 million
-
Full year 2024 programmatic revenue to reflect approximately 90% of
full year 2024 revenue
-
Although spending by select small- and mid-sized agency customers
remained cautious in Q1 2024, management has observed a gradual
easing of macroeconomic headwinds and uncertainty, and an increase
in budgets and spending thus far in Q2 2024 and expects advertising
demand to increase throughout the remainder of the year,
particularly in H2 2024 around events such as the 2024 U.S.
election cycle.
-
Management is encouraged by macroeconomic improvement driving
increased budgets among its largest customers, as well as the
Company’s success generating new partnerships with major industry
players and expanding its roster of customers which leverage
multiple self-service enterprise solutions and transact end-to-end
across Nexxen’s platform.
-
As a result of the Company’s differentiated and unique CTV and
streaming data partnerships and offerings, alongside improving
market conditions, and its partnership with Alphonso Inc. and LG
Electronics, Inc. beginning to scale, management now expects
sequential CTV revenue growth in Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024 and maintains
confidence in achieving CTV revenue growth in full year 2024
compared to full year 2023, with acceleration expected in H2 2024.
Management also believes the launch of Nexxen Data Platform
strongly positions the Company to achieve data licensing revenue
growth in full year 2024 vs. full year 2023.
-
Management continues to anticipate Adjusted EBITDA growth and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion in full year 2024 compared to full
year 2023, amidst the expectation for increased Contribution
ex-TAC, as the Company’s model provides significant operating
leverage, enabling most of the anticipated increase in Contribution
ex-TAC to translate to Adjusted EBITDA.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial
Information
In addition to our IFRS results, we review
certain non-IFRS financial measures to help us evaluate our
business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our
business, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of
investments in our technology and development and sales and
marketing, and assess our operational efficiencies. These non-IFRS
measures include Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net Income (Loss), and Non-IFRS Earnings
(Loss) per share, each of which is discussed below.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not
intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or
as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to evaluate these
adjustments and review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS
financial measures to their most comparable IFRS measures, and the
reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that
the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-IFRS
financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or
included in, similar non-IFRS financial measures used by other
companies. See "Reconciliation of Revenue to Contribution ex-TAC,"
"Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted EBITDA,"
and "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Non-IFRS Net Income (Loss),"
included as part of this press release.
- Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for
Nexxen is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and
amortization attributable to cost of revenues and cost of revenues
(exclusive of depreciation and amortization) minus the Performance
media cost (“traffic acquisition costs” or “TAC”). Performance
media cost represents the costs of purchases of impressions from
publishers on a cost-per-thousand impression basis in our non-core
Performance activities. Contribution ex-TAC is a supplemental
measure of our financial performance that is not required by, or
presented in accordance with, IFRS. Contribution ex-TAC should not
be considered as an alternative to gross profit as a measure of
financial performance. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-IFRS financial
measure and should not be viewed in isolation. We believe
Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the
performance of Nexxen, because it facilitates a consistent
comparison against our core business without considering the impact
of traffic acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross
basis.
- Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for
Nexxen as total comprehensive income (loss) for the period adjusted
for foreign currency translation differences for foreign
operations, financial expenses (income), net, tax expenses
(benefits), depreciation and amortization, and stock-based
compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is included in the press release
because it is a key metric used by management and our board of
directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is
frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested
parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes
that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating
performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do
not relate directly to the performance of the underlying
business.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We
define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA on a Contribution
ex-TAC basis.
- Non-IFRS Income (Loss) and Non-IFRS Earnings (Loss) per
Share: We define non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share
as non-IFRS income (loss) divided by non-IFRS weighted-average
shares outstanding. Non-IFRS income (loss) is equal to net income
(loss) excluding stock-based compensation and amortization of
acquired intangible assets, and also considers the tax effects of
Non-IFRS adjustments. In periods in which we have non-IFRS income,
non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate
non-IFRS earnings per share includes the impact of potentially
dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock
options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and
performance stock units, each computed using the treasury stock
method. We believe non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share is useful to
investors in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and our
trends on a per share basis, and also facilitates comparison of our
financial results on a per share basis with other companies, many
of which present a similar non-IFRS measure. However, a potential
limitation of our use of non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share is that
other companies may define non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share
differently, which may make comparison difficult. This measure may
also exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our
reported financial results. Non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share is a
performance measure and should not be used as a measure of
liquidity. Because of these limitations, we also consider the
comparable IFRS measure of net income.
We do not provide a reconciliation of
forward-looking non-IFRS financial metrics, because reconciling
information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such
as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on
a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding IFRS
metric.
