Delivered 21% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth to $189.0 Million

Drove Double-Digit Growth Across All Three Revenue Lines: Activation +25%, Measurement +15%, and Supply-Side +26%

Raised Full-Year 2025 Revenue Growth Guidance to ~15%; Reaffirmed Full-Year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 32%

DoubleVerify ("DV") (NYSE:DV), the leading software platform for digital media measurement, data, and analytics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"We drove 21% year-over-year growth in Q2, significantly outperforming the revenue expectations we raised at Innovation Day and building momentum across all key areas of the business," said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. "DV is executing well across every key growth vector, with Social gaining traction across both activation and measurement, CTV continuing to scale rapidly, and programmatic delivering deeper advertiser adoption across our ABS and Scibids AI solutions. Our growth in the first half of the year was predominantly driven by existing customers who adopted additional products and expanded into new geographies, followed by the addition and scaling of new advertiser and supply-side customers. Based on our solid performance to date, it is clear that our vision for the DV Media AdVantage Platform is resonating with current and new customers, and our continued focus on innovation, customer value, and disciplined execution is laying the groundwork for durable, long-term growth."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

(All comparisons are to the second quarter of 2024)

Total revenue of $189.0 million, an increase of 21%.
Activation revenue of $108.9 million, an increase of 25%.
Measurement revenue of $62.9 million, an increase of 15%.
- Social measurement revenue increased by 14%.
- International measurement revenue increased by 8%.
- Media Transactions Measured ("MTM") for CTV increased by 45%.
Supply-side revenue of $17.2 million, an increase of 26%.
Net income of $8.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $57.3 million, which represented a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

Grew Total Advertiser revenue by 21% year-over-year in the second quarter.
- MTM increased by 19% year-over-year, and Measured Transaction Fee (MTF) declined 1% year-over-year, excluding the impact of an introductory fixed fee deal for one large customer.
Continued to achieve a Gross Revenue Retention rate of over 95% in the second quarter.
Drove global market share growth through product upsells, international expansion, and new enterprise logo wins. Notable second-quarter new business wins include:
- New enterprise customer wins: Banco do Brasil, Emaar, Haribo, Lidl, Premier Inn, Puma, Riyadh Air, Sage, Six Flags, Tractor Supply, TransUnion
- Expansions: Fidelity, Kroger, Allwyn Group
Expanded brand suitability measurement coverage on Meta across proprietary categories, uniting pre-screen controls with post-bid AI-powered reporting to improve transparency and performance.
Introduced DV Authentic AdVantage, the market's first integrated activation, optimization, and measurement solution built to deliver brand protection without compromising performance, and started beta trials with several top 100 customers.
Launched DV Authentic Attention^® for Social on Snap, the first solution to combine ad exposure and eye-tracking data at the impression level to give advertisers unmatched visibility into user engagement on the platform.
Announced a partnership with Lyft to authenticate in-app ads, bringing DV's full measurement suite, including Authentic Attention, to Lyft's North American advertising platform.

"Our second-quarter results reflect strong and balanced execution across the business, with both revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeding the high-end of the guidance we raised at Innovation Day," said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. "We delivered robust double-digit growth across all three revenue lines, led by strong performance in activation and supply-side, and continued expansion in measurement, supported by greater momentum in Social. With 21% total revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins steady at 30%, we achieved meaningful topline outperformance while maintaining operational efficiency. Given our strong first-half results and increased confidence in second-half performance, we are raising our full-year 2025 revenue growth outlook to approximately 15% and reaffirming our 32% adjusted EBITDA margin guidance. We remain focused on driving scalable, profitable growth while investing in the opportunities ahead."

Third Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Guidance:

DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

Third Quarter 2025:

Revenue in the range of $188 and $192 million, a year-over-year increase of 12% at the midpoint.
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $60 and $64 million, representing a 33% margin at the midpoint.

Full Year 2025:

Revenue growth of approximately 15%.
Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 32%.

With respect to the Company's expectations under "Third Quarter and Full Year 2025 Guidance" above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Conference Call, Webcast, and Other Information

DoubleVerify will host a conference call and live webcast to discuss its second quarter 2025 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, August 5, 2025.

The webcast will be available live on the Investors section of the Company's website at https://ir.doubleverify.com/. An archived webcast will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event.

In addition, DoubleVerify plans to post certain additional historical quarterly financial information on the investor relations portion of its website for easy access to investors.

Key Business Terms

Activation revenue is generated from the evaluation, verification, and measurement of advertising impressions purchased through programmatic demand-side and social media platforms.

Measurement revenue is generated from the verification and measurement of advertising impressions that are directly purchased on digital media properties, including publishers, CTV, and social media platforms.

Supply-Side revenue is generated from platforms and publisher partners who use DoubleVerify's data analytics to evaluate, verify, and measure their advertising inventory.

Gross Revenue Retention Rate is the total prior period revenue earned from advertiser customers, less the portion of prior period revenue attributable to lost advertiser customers, divided by the total prior period revenue from advertiser customers.

Media Transactions Measured (MTM) is the volume of media transactions that DoubleVerify's software platform measures.

Measured Transaction Fee (MTF) is the fixed fee DoubleVerify charges per thousand Media Transactions Measured.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA margin		30	%		30	%		29	%		29	%

(a)		M &A and restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 consist of third party professional service costs related to the acquisition of Rockerbox and to our broader acquisition strategy. M&A and restructuring recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consist of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Scibids.
(b)		Offering and secondary offering costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 consist of third party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company.
(c)		Other costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 consist of expenses incurred with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course and costs related to the early termination of an office lease.
(d)		Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 consist of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of the core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;
they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

In addition, other companies in the industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

Total stock-based compensation expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income is as follows:
