Tremor Well-Positioned to Benefit from Industry Catalysts Expected in H2 2022, Including the FIFA World Cup and Additional Advertiser Spend Associated with the U.S. Mid-Term Election Cycle

TEL-AVIV, Israel, May 17, 2022 -- Tremor International Ltd. (AIM/NASDAQ: TRMR) ("Tremor" or the "Company"), a global leader in Video, Data and Connected TV ("CTV") advertising offering an end-to-end technology platform that enables advertisers to optimize their campaigns and media partners to maximize yield on their digital advertising inventory, today announces its financial results for the first quarter period ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

Record Q1 Financial Performance Driven by Continued Customer Adoption of Tremor's Data-Powered End-to-End Technology and Business Platform, Increased CTV Spend and Revenue Stream Diversity Across Broad Product Portfolio, Despite a Challenging Macroeconomic Environment:  

· Contribution ex-TAC increased organically by 13% in Q1 2022 to $71.0 million, compared to $63.0 million in Q1 2021

· Adjusted EBITDA increased 22% in Q1 2022 to $33.6 million, compared to $27.5 million in Q1 2021

Strong Margin Profile and Healthy Balance Sheet Enabled by Scaled and Efficient Operating Model:

· Tremor continues to deliver industry-leading margins and operational profitability compared to other ad tech peers, which resulted in a 42% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q1 2022 on a reported revenue basis, and 47% on a contribution ex-TAC basis

· Healthy balance sheet supported by a $370.8 million net cash position as of March 31, 2022

Continued Strong CTV and Video Performance:

· CTV spend grew by 21% in Q1 2022 to $46.2 million, compared to $38.2 million in Q1 2021

· Video revenue continued to represent the overwhelming majority of total Contribution ex-TAC at approximately 80%

Ongoing Progress Delivering Further Shareholder Value Through Share Repurchase Program:

· Launched $75 million share repurchase program on March 1, 2022

· Tremor repurchased 1,684,510 ordinary shares at an average price of 572.89 pence for a total spend of approximately £9.7 million or $12.7 million between March 1, 2022, when the program commenced, and March 31, 2022

"I am pleased to report that our end-to-end technology and data-driven business platform, focused on CTV and Video, delivered record Q1 revenue and adjusted EBITDA, as well as increased customer adoption," said Ofer Druker, Tremor's Chief Executive Officer. "We achieved this strong performance during the seasonally softest quarter for ad tech despite challenges associated with supply chain constraints, inflation, and the war in Ukraine. Our diverse product portfolio serves as a competitive advantage as it provides resiliency across our model, enabling Tremor to maximize revenue opportunities, and served as a catalyst that drove contribution ex-TAC growth of 13% in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021. Key to our growth was an increase in customer spend on CTV services, which increased 21% year-over-year, while we continued to experience year-over-year adoption within our self-service offerings and saw strong demand in the quarter for our performance offerings. Our efficient operating model enables a healthy balance sheet, significant operating leverage, strong free cash flow conversion, and robust profitability as evidenced by our 47% adjusted EBITDA margin on a Contribution ex-TAC basis, which we believe to be best-in-class for the industry. These strong fundamentals are particularly crucial and beneficial during challenging macro environments and position us well to continue investing in technology, sales, and marketing to drive additional organic growth, continue repurchasing shares, and continue evaluating potential strategic M&A opportunities in a market where valuations and premiums have decreased, to deliver material long-term value to our shareholders."

First Quarter Operational Highlights and Recent Business Wins

Tremor Continues to Deliver Significant Progress, Enhancing and Differentiating its Offerings Within CTV, by Further Expanding its End-to-End Technology and Business Platform Capabilities. Some Key Operational Highlights and Recent Business Wins Include:

· Completed the Integration of CTV Ad Server and Header Bidder, Spearad, into Unruly SSP

o  Expected to accelerate international and US growth during the second half of 2022 and beyond

o  Enables Tremor to capture a larger segment of global CTV inventory through current and future media partners seeking to leverage this technology

· VIDAA Selected Unruly's SSP and Ad Server, Spearad, as a Preferred Partner for CTV and Native Display  

o  As VIDAA's strategic sell-side platform, Unruly gains global access to all video and native display media and VIDAA will also integrate Spearad to enable greater control over its CTV ad delivery

o  This expands upon the global exclusive Automatic Content Recognition ("ACR") data partnership with Tremor

· Data-Driven TV Intelligence Solution Reach Expanded to 44 Million U.S. Households Through Recent Enhancements and Partnerships

o  Tremor Video & Unruly platforms now provide access to the industry's largest co-mingled datasets for TV and cross-device media strategies, which includes Set-Top Box ("STB"), ACR and cross-screen panel data, coupled with captivating video creative

o  Recent partnerships with iSpot.tv for tune-in measurement on titles that are running only in streaming environments and TVision, which adds a panel dataset to the existing 44 million households, ramp scale and efficacy of all existing TV data sources

o  The ability to activate a blended dataset across the open internet, outside of closed services and apps, represents an incredibly important mechanism for advertisers to have the freedom to curate a media mix that meets their campaign objectives and needs

o  Expected to be further strengthened upon completed integration of VIDAA's ACR data into Tremor's platform

· Furthered Platform Differentiation and Capabilities Within CTV Through Comscore Partnership

o  Established partnership with Comscore enabling better insulation for Tremor and its customers against privacy changes and both Tremor Video and Unruly customers to leverage cookie-free pre-bid audience targeting

o  Comscore partnership delivers access to reach granular behavioral audiences based on video-level contextual signals across more than 1,000 audience segments

· Award-Winning In-House Creative Studio, Tr. ly, Continued to Experience Increased Customer Adoption and Serves as a Key Differentiator for Tremor Within CTV

o  Experienced a 21% year-over-year increase in creative requests during Q1 2022, compared to Q1 2021

o  International spend on Tr. ly's creative products increased 225% year-over-year during Q1 2022, compared to Q1 2021

o  During Q1 2022, Tr. ly executed 20% more custom data-driven video campaigns than it did during all of 2021

o  Tr. ly's custom QR codes for CTV ads remained its most popular feature in Q1 2022 and were included on 34% of all creative campaigns

o  Proud recipient of Digiday's 2022 Content Marketing Award for Best Use of Data for a travel campaign produced with Pure Michigan and Universal McCann

· Unruly and Tremor Video Experienced Strong Customer and Partner Traction, and Continued Growth Across Multiple Offerings, Including Unruly CTRL

o  Unruly added 87 new supply partners, including 36 in the US, during Q1 2022 across critical growth verticals in sports, news, entertainment, and lifestyle, including OTT ("over-the-top") apps from leading broadcast and Virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributor ("vMVPD") businesses

o  Tremor Video added over 75 new logos during Q1 2022 across critical growth verticals in travel, CPG, and healthcare, reflecting one of the most significant quarterly increases in the Company's history 

o  Unruly CTRL, Tremor's self-service platform for publishers, saw PMP spend increase by 128% during Q1 2022, compared to Q1 2021

Mr. Druker added, "As we look ahead, we believe the steps we have taken to differentiate our end-to-end technology and business platform, enhance our offerings within CTV and video, and successfully integrate acquisitions and partnerships, position us well ahead of upcoming industry and Tremor-specific catalysts. Through our recent integration of Spearad into Unruly, and global ACR data partnership and media relationship with VIDAA, the operating system for major global OEMs such as Hisense and Toshiba, we expect to accelerate our growth internationally and in the US over the second half of 2022 and beyond. We also look forward to benefitting from significant industry catalysts expected later this year such as the FIFA World Cup, which Hisense is an official sponsor of, and additional spend associated with the U.S. mid-term election cycle. We believe our strong technology, global partnerships, and durable business model will enable us to capitalize on these meaningful opportunities as we expand our market reach and accelerate our international and U.S. growth trajectory."  

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Guidance

·     Management remains confident in the medium- to long-term prospects of the Company with Tremor well-positioned to further benefit from expected growth trends within digital advertising, CTV, and video, particularly during the second half of the year when it expects to monetize the integration of Spearad, and global ACR data partnership and media relationship with VIDAA

·     Tremor's second quarter guidance is based on the expectation that there will be no major Covid-19-related setbacks or significant escalation of war or other hostilities that may cause economic conditions to further deteriorate or otherwise significantly reduce advertiser demand

· Our guidance also considers the widespread global supply chain issues that limited advertising activity in Q1 2022 in certain verticals such as automobile manufacturing, with the expectation that these challenges could continue to have an impact in Q2 2022, as well as inflationary pressures, and geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty

· We believe our end-to-end platform, scaled and efficient operating model, diverse customer base, and broad range of revenue verticals help mitigate effects of these potential headwinds and accordingly, Tremor estimates:

· Q2 2022 Contribution ex-TAC in a range of $75 - $80 million

· Q2 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $40 million

· Q2 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC of approximately 50%

Particularly during periods of economic uncertainty, we find investors focus on companies that can achieve significant and consistent profitability to remain well-capitalized and able to take advantage of future growth opportunities. Tremor's efficient end-to-end operating model enables strong fundamentals, and we will continue to maintain an emphasis on generating robust profitability, giving us confidence that we can remain able to meet our adjusted EBITDA target, even amidst a challenging growth environment. Despite our conservative Contribution ex-TAC outlook, which considers several headwinds, the profitability we believe we can achieve should drive continued best-in-class industry adjusted EBITDA margins during Q2 2022.

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, 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 net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-IFRS income (loss)," included as part of this press release.

o   Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC is defined as our 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"). 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 Tremor International, 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.

o  Adjusted EBITDA : We define as total comprehensive income for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation differences for foreign operations, financing expenses, net, tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and IPO-related costs and other expenses (income), net. 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.

o Adjusted EBITDAmargin: we define as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC.

o 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, cash and non-cash based acquisition and related expenses, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger related severance costs, transaction expenses. 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 (loss).
