Perion Network Updates Q2 and Full Year 2024 Guidance

Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: PERI), a technology leader in connecting advertisers to consumers across all major digital channels, announced today updated Q2 and full-year 2024 financial guidance.

In recent days, Perion was notified by Microsoft Bing of its decision to exclude a number of publishers from its search distribution marketplace. Similar notices were provided to other Microsoft Bing search distribution partners.

As a result of these actions, in addition to the changes in advertising pricing and mechanisms implemented by Microsoft Bing during the first quarter of 2024, search revenue from our agreement with Microsoft Bing is expected to represent less than 5% of Perion’s revenue in the second half of 2024. As the company continues to work with other search engines, our agreement with Microsoft Bing is no longer material to Perion.

Perion is updating its second quarter and full-year guidance to reflect these actions by Microsoft Bing. While these actions are the primary driver of the reduced EBITDA guidance, Perion has also seen a recent decline in revenue from standard video and display formats. The company believes these declines reflect market conditions as well as a transition to higher premium formats that offer advertisers higher ROI. Perion continues to see increased revenue from higher premium formats but not at a level sufficient to offset the revenue decrease from this change.

“The recent changes Microsoft Bing implemented to its Search distribution marketplace are unfortunate and significantly impacted our Search Advertising business,” commented Tal Jacobson,” Perion’s CEO. “Perion remains committed to expanding our AI-driven Advertising Solutions business through product innovation and partnerships. Specifically, we are focused on expanding our growth engines into more countries, including CTV, Retail Media, and programmatic Digital out-of-home (DOOH). These represent a big opportunity for Perion due to their size and growth rate worldwide. Furthermore, management and our Board of Directors are equally committed to delivering shareholder value by leveraging our strong balance sheet to invest in technology, acquire complementary solutions and execute our $75 million buyback program, which has already begun.”

Updated Q2 2024 and Full Year 2024 Guidance1:

Q2 2024 Guidance

  • Revenue of $106 to $108 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 of $6.5 to $7.5 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 to contribution ex-TAC2 of 14% at the midpoint

FY 2024 Guidance

  • Revenue of $490 to $510 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 of $48 to $52 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 to contribution ex-TAC2 of 23% at the midpoint

1 We have not provided an outlook for GAAP income from operations or reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP income from operations, the closest corresponding gap measure, because we do 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 our stock- based compensation expenses directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuation in our share price and amortization in connection with future acquisitions. Hence, we are unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts.

2 Contribution ex-TAC and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures.
