Nexxen sees 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $100M

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.
