("Tremor" or the "Company")
Trading Statement
Tremor International Ltd (AIM: TRMR), a global leader in video advertising technologies, provides an update on trading for the year ending 31 December 2020, following a period of record revenue and profit growth.
Tremor continues to drive substantial customer momentum in the second half of the current financial year, demonstrating strong organic growth despite the impact of Covid-19. Revenues generated across October and November 2020 were the highest in the Company's history. Overall, it is anticipated that the Company will now achieve 37-43% revenue growth in the second half of 2020, compared to H2 2019.
As a consequence of this performance, the Company expects trading for the year ending 31 December 2020 to be significantly ahead of the ranges outlined in its October 2020 trading statement, which were $340-360 million for revenues and $30-36 million in Adjusted EBITDA, and provided under caution due to the uncertainty surrounding the US election. The Company now expects revenues, net revenue* and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the ranges of $390-400 million, $171-175 million and $50-52 million respectively.
The significant sales traction that the Company continues to generate is underpinned by organic growth initiatives anchored within Tremor's most meaningful growth engines: Connected TV ("CTV"), Self-serve and Private MarketPlace solutions, which have become integral to the Company's rapid growth. CTV is now a significant growth engine for the Group and is underpinned by a growing number of leading CTV partners and the shifting of the Company's budgets into this segment.

Tremor's recent performance provides clear validation of the Company's strategy to focus on video (now more than 80% of revenues) and data (leveraging exclusive audiences) alongside CTV. Tremor's unique end-to-end technology stack is providing a strong platform for healthy growth and strong profitability.
Management believe that the current growth trend is set to continue, reinforcing the synergies of the acquisitions the Company has completed in recent years and the benefits of Tremor's strengthened footprint in the market.
