Officer of Nexxen. “Our success validates that the upgrades we made
in 2024 to our data capabilities, CTV and omnichannel capabilities,
brand recognition and messaging are fueling better execution and
resonating with customers and the market. As a result, partners
across the industry are increasingly allocating more spending
towards Nexxen and adopting multiple solutions within our
end-to-end ecosystem.”
Mr. Druker added, “In the first half of 2025,
and throughout the year, we will take major strides in our AI
efforts, specifically launching several new Generative AI
capabilities focused on two primary objectives - simplifying the
use of our vertically integrated offerings and significantly
enhancing their performance. As the owner of a robust technology
stack, and through years-long and continued investments in machine
learning, we believe the time is now for Generative AI to align
with our strategic vision. Over time, we expect this promising
turnkey innovation to streamline our customers’ experiences, enable
more-precise audience targeting and measurement capabilities,
advance our solutions across planning, activation, optimization and
monetization, generate stronger returns for our customers and
accelerate our growth opportunity. We also look forward to
expanding our U.S. investor presence after simplifying our trading
structure, which we believe will significantly benefit Nexxen and
its shareholders over the long-term.”
Financial Guidance
- Nexxen provides the following
financial guidance for full year 2025:
- Full year 2025 Contribution ex-TAC of approximately $380
million
- Full year 2025 programmatic revenue to reflect approximately
90% of full year 2025 revenue
- Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $125
million
- Management expects to continue
increasing the Company’s investments in technology, data and
Generative AI in 2025, with a focus on enhancing Nexxen’s DSP and
data platform capabilities, which is expected to augment the
Company’s ability to attract higher levels of customer spending and
new partners, and further Nexxen’s competitive advantages.
- Management expects the Company to
increase its CTV and data licensing revenue in 2025 compared to
2024.
- In 2025, management expects the
Company’s sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative
expenses, and depreciation and amortization to reflect similar
percentages of Contribution ex-TAC as in 2024 and expects research
and development expenses to increase as a percentage of
Contribution ex-TAC.
Operational Highlights
- Simplified Nexxen’s trading
structure by exchanging the Company’s Nasdaq-listed ADRs for New
Nasdaq-listed Ordinary Shares, voluntarily delisting from AIM and
streamlining to a single U.S. Ordinary Share listing on Nasdaq in
Q1 2025. The Company expects these changes will enhance Nexxen’s
positioning with U.S. investors, drive greater trading volume and
increase the Company’s eligibility for inclusion in select stock
indices.
- Nexxen DSP added 112 new actively
spending first-time advertiser customers in Q4 2024 across travel,
entertainment and other verticals. This figure included 18 new
enterprise self-service advertiser customers and three new
independent agencies adopting Nexxen’s self-service software
solutions.
- Onboarded 73 new supply partners
across several verticals and formats in Q4 2024, highlighted by
some of the industry’s most well-known free ad-supported streaming
services.
- Successfully attracted and
onboarded top talent across our employee base, particularly within
the Company’s sales management, positioning Nexxen strongly for
future growth.
- Launched Deal Marketplace within
Nexxen DSP, enabling advertisers to better discover, visualize and
activate preferred deals across CTV, online video and display,
reducing time spent planning and executing campaigns. Through
Nexxen’s Deal Marketplace, advertisers can gain transparency into a
wide range of premium supply inventory, leveraging advanced
audience-targeting capabilities.
Share Repurchase Program
Updates
- Nexxen repurchased 4,493,721
Ordinary Shares during Q4 2024 (2,246,861 Ordinary Shares as
adjusted for the Company’s reverse-split) at an average price of
347.48 pence (694.96 pence on a post-reverse-split adjusted basis),
reflecting a total investment of £15.6 million or $20.1
million.
- During 2024, Nexxen repurchased
18,275,064 Ordinary Shares (9,137,532 Ordinary Shares on a
post-reverse-split adjusted basis), reflecting a total investment
of £48.2 million or $61.7 million.
- From March 1, 2022, when the
Company launched a series of share repurchase programs, through
December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 37,909,216 Ordinary
Shares (18,954,608 Ordinary Shares on a post-reverse-split adjusted
basis), or 24.5% of shares outstanding, reflecting a total
investment of £125.9 million or $157.3 million.
- On November 19, 2024, the Company
launched a new $50 million Ordinary Share repurchase program which
is scheduled to continue until the earlier of May 19, 2025, or
completion, following the expiration of its previous $50 million
Ordinary Share repurchase program on November 1, 2024. Until the
Company’s AIM-delisting on February 14, 2025, the Ordinary Share
repurchases under the program were executed on the AIM Market, and
beginning February 18, 2025, the Ordinary Share repurchases are now
executed on Nasdaq. 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.
- As of December 31, 2024, the
Company had $38.4 million remaining on its Ordinary Share
repurchase program authorization.
Nexxen’s Board of Directors Approved the
Launch of a New $50 Million Ordinary Share Repurchase Program
Following Completion of the Currently Ongoing Program
- On March 4, 2025, Nexxen’s Board of
Directors approved the launch of a new $50 million Ordinary Share
repurchase program, which is scheduled to begin on the earlier of
May 19, 2025, or completion of the currently ongoing program, and
continue until the earlier of November 19, 2025, or completion. The
launch of the new Ordinary Share repurchase program is subject to
compliance with a creditor notice period required under Israeli
law.
- Nexxen’s Board of Directors intends
to continue to evaluate implementing additional share repurchase
programs following the completion of the ongoing and impending
programs, subject to then current market conditions and necessary
approvals.

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 and Non-IFRS Earnings 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 Income (Loss) to Adjusted
EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net
Income," 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
revenue and cost of revenue (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, foreign currency translation
for subsidiary sold reclassified to profit and loss, tax expenses
(benefit), financial expenses (income), net, depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, other expenses,
net, acquisition related costs, restructuring and delisting related
one-time costs. 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 Net Income and
Non-IFRS Earnings per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings
per share as non-IFRS net income divided by non-IFRS
weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS net income is equal
to net income (loss) excluding acquisition related costs,
amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring, delisting
related one-time costs, stock-based compensation expenses, and
other expenses, net, and also considers the tax effects of non-IFRS
adjustments. In periods in which we have non-IFRS net 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 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 per share is that other
companies may define non-IFRS earnings 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 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 (loss).
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.
