Looking ahead, we strongly believe our full stack platform and robust access to data gives Nexxen an AI edge, and that our Generative AI initiative will contribute to Nexxen’s growth, as well as its platform differentiation and appeal in 2025 by further enhancing usability and outcomes for our customers.”

Financial Guidance

• Nexxen provides the following financial guidance for full year 2024:
  • Reaffirming full year 2024 Contribution ex-TAC in a range of approximately $340 - $345 million
  • Raising full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to approximately $107 million from approximately $100 million
  • Reaffirming full year 2024 programmatic revenue to reflect approximately 90% of full year 2024 revenue
• Management expects the Company to increase its technology, data, AI and Generative AI investments in Q4 2024 and full year 2025 to further its platform and data advantages.

Operational Highlights

• Launched strategic automatic content recognition (“ACR”) data partnership with The Trade Desk, expanding the Company’s data licensing revenue opportunities and sales channels.

• Named a preferred data platform partner for Kinective Media by United Airlines, enabling Nexxen’s advertiser clients to tap into premium first party data from United’s customers and MileagePlus loyalty program members to layer insights onto campaigns, and Tinuiti has been an early adopter.

• Released data-driven solutions catered to political advertiser clients which fueled increased audience reach and deeper campaign insights for customers around the 2024 U.S. election cycle, while helping drive what the Company believes will reflect record annual political Contribution ex-TAC for Nexxen.

• Added an all-time high 138 new actively-spending first-time advertiser customers in Q3 2024 across travel, political and other verticals, inclusive of 31 new enterprise self-service advertiser customers and two new independent agencies leveraging the Company’s self-service software solutions.

• Onboarded 61 new supply partners across several verticals and formats including CTV, mobile app, gaming, display, audio and online video in Q3 2024.

Share Repurchase Program Updates

• Nexxen (and its subsidiaries) repurchased 5,089,680 Ordinary shares during Q3 2024 at an average price of 275.87 pence, reflecting a total investment of £14.1 million or $18.3 million.
• From March 1, 2022, through September 30, 2024, the Company (and its subsidiaries) repurchased 33,415,495 Ordinary shares, or 21.6% of shares outstanding, reflecting a total investment of £110.2 million or $137.2 million.
• The Company received approval to launch a new $50 million Ordinary Share repurchase program which is expected to begin on November 19, 2024 and continue until May 19, 2025 or completion. The impending program does not obligate Nexxen to repurchase any particular amount of Ordinary Shares and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion (if not in a close period), subject to applicable law. The Company’s previous Ordinary Share repurchase program expired on November 1, 2024.   
• Nexxen’s Board of Directors intends to continue evaluating the potential for implementing additional share repurchase programs upon completion of the impending program, subject to then current market conditions and necessary approvals.

Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) Update: Nexxen ADR to Ordinary Share Exchange, Reverse Share Split and AIM Delisting to be Voted on by Shareholders

• Nexxen’s Board of Directors approved submission of several trading structure changes to a shareholder vote at the Company’s upcoming AGM taking place on December 20, 2024. If approved by shareholders, the Company intends to exchange its Nasdaq-listed ADRs to Nasdaq-listed Ordinary Shares and terminate the ADR facility, conduct a reverse share split at a two-for-one ratio which will allow for a one-to-one exchange for ADRs into Ordinary Shares and delist from the AIM.
• The Company and its Board of Directors believe this updated trading structure can benefit Nexxen and its shareholders over the long term for several reasons including increasing the potential to attract U.S. investors, reducing the complexity of the Company’s reporting and regulatory compliance structure, consolidating and increasing liquidity, possible inclusion in major indices which the Company’s shares are precluded from due to its current structure, better aligning the Company’s stock with other U.S.-listed AdTech companies, reducing price volatility that can result from a dual-listing and cost savings.
• The AGM circular provides greater detailed information on this proposal, the timing of the proposed changes and its effect on trading for the Company’s U.S. and U.K. investors.
• The Company intends to host calls with both U.S. and U.K. investors and analysts ahead of the upcoming AGM to provide greater details on the proposed changes, timing of those changes and its strategic rationale.

Change to Board of Directors

• Nexxen announces that Executive Director Yaniv Carmi, a Director since 2014, is stepping down from the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) effective November 15, 2024, thereby reducing the size of the Board from nine members to eight members. Mr. Carmi will continue to serve as Nexxen’s Chief Operating Officer.
• The Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) has determined that the smaller eight-member Board, consisting of one Executive Director and seven Non-Executive Directors, will be more flexible and efficient to support the ongoing needs of the business and that the reduced Board size and composition is in line with Board composition practices of similar sized companies traded on the Nasdaq and AIM.
• The Committee further determined that Mr. Carmi stepping down from the Board (but remaining Chief Operating Officer) is in line with best practices of Nasdaq-listed companies similar to Nexxen, where the Chief Operating Officer does not serve as a Director.

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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net Income and Non-IFRS Earnings 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 Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net Income, included as part of this press release.

• Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for Nexxen is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue and cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) minus the Performance media cost (“traffic acquisition costs” or “TAC”). Performance media cost represents the costs of purchases of impressions from publishers on a cost-per-thousand impression basis in our non-core Performance activities. 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 Nexxen, 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.
• Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for Nexxen as total comprehensive income (loss) for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation differences for foreign operations, foreign currency translation for subsidiary sold reclassified to profit and loss, financial expenses, net, tax expenses (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition related costs, restructuring and other expenses, 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.
• Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA on a Contribution ex-TAC basis.
• Non-IFRS Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings per share as non-IFRS income divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS income is equal to net income (loss) excluding acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring, other expenses, net and amortization of acquired intangible assets, and also considers the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments. 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 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 per share is that other companies may define non-IFRS earnings 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 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.

We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS financial metrics because reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding IFRS metric.
