Contribution ex-TAC Grew by 19%, Adjusted EBITDA up 53% YoY

Provides 2026 Guidance and Unveils 2028 Targets:

Perion One Platform 20% Organic Contribution ex-TAC 3-Year CAGR and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28%

Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PERI), an advanced technology leader solving for the complexities of digital advertising through AI-native execution infrastructure, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"Our fourth-quarter performance, highlighted by a 19% year-over-year increase in Contribution ex-TAC and a 53% surge in Adjusted EBITDA, demonstrates that Perion One is winning," said Tal Jacobson, CEO of Perion. "In 2025, we shifted our strategy to become the centralized platform for advertisers, integrating our technologies, establishing strategic partnerships, and crossing the inflection point in the company's growth trajectory."

"AI is our structural advantage. By transforming the Perion One Platform into an AI-native execution infrastructure, we will allow marketers to harness the power of AI Agents to control and optimize their marketing activities," Mr. Jacobson continued. "Outmax, our proprietary AI execution agent, drives systematic expansion of spend within existing customers across channels, geographies, and verticals. We believe that transforming Perion into the infrastructure where Agents can interact with Agents and work on their own to optimize for their brands is the future, and Perion is the backbone of this future."

"Our execution-led growth gives us confidence in the Perion 2028 target plan" Mr. Jacobson concluded. "It defines a clear path to durable, organic growth, where Perion One represents the vast majority of our business, with legacy activities remaining stable but no longer defining our future."

³ A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for Contribution ex.-TAC is provided in the last table of this press release. 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 GAAP 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.

The Company maintains its existing share repurchase program with a total authorization of $200 million.

During the fourth quarter, Perion repurchased 2.5 million shares for $23.9 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude certain items. This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures, including Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow.

Contribution ex-TAC presents revenue reduced by traffic acquisition costs and media buy, reflecting a portion of our revenue that must be directly passed to publishers or advertisers and presents our revenue excluding such items. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing the performance of the Company because it facilitates a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs and media buy related to revenue reported on a gross basis.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs and other charges, unusual legal costs, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, as well as gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property and equipment, net of sales and capitalized software development costs, but excluding the purchase of property and equipment related to our new corporate headquarter office, the portion of the cash payment of contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value and retention payment related to acquisitions, as we do not view either of those expenses as reflective of our normal on-going expenses. It is important to note that these expenses are in fact cash expenditures.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are defined as net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share excluding stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring costs and other charges, unusual legal costs, retention and other acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, foreign exchange gains and losses associated with ASC-842, revaluation of acquisition related contingent consideration as well as gains and losses recognized with respect to changes in fair value of contingent consideration.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of our business. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required for such presentation without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included in this press release. A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the last table of this press release.
