Opera Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results with Acceleration Beyond Expectations, Raises Full-Year Outlook Again

 

Revenue grew 20% year-over-year to $123.2 million, and exceeded the guidance range

 

Adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 million, a 25% margin, also exceeded the guidance range

 

Launched Opera One R2, a reimagined and updated version of Opera’s flagship browser, bringing improvements to AI, tab management and multimedia

Raises both revenue and adjusted EBITDA full-year guidance, now at 19% year-over-year growth at the midpoint with a corresponding increase in adjusted EBITDA expectations

 

OSLO, Norway, October 29, 2024 – Opera Limited (NASDAQ: OPRA), one of the world’s major browser developers and a leading internet consumer brand, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“The third quarter of 2024 demonstrated the sustained growth performance of our business, with an acceleration of revenue growth well beyond our expectations fueled by our ability to promote our advertising partners to an engaged and increasingly valuable user base. Our revenue overperformance led to another quarter of adjusted EBITDA also exceeding the high end of our guidance,” said co-CEO Lin Song.

“Our excitement for the path ahead is supported by the combination of expanding monetization opportunities paired with the strength of our product portfolio. With the recent release of our flagship Opera One R2 browser, we enter the fourth quarter with a fresh and unique browser lineup across platforms, and we are enthusiastic about our plans to keep raising consumer awareness about Opera and our products,” continued Mr. Song.

Revenue		$135 – 138 million			$470 – 473 million
Year-over-year revenue growth (1)		21	%		19	%

_______________

“With the momentum in our business, we once again raise our guidance for 2024. Our updated revenue range now starts well above the high-end of our former guidance range, and our adjusted EBITDA guidance is raised to represent the same margin expansion as previously guided, but on a greater revenue base. We enter the seasonally strongest fourth quarter with excitement about the potential of our product portfolio and our commercial opportunities, and how that will ultimately translate into a healthy starting position for 2025,” said Frode Jacobsen, CFO.

“For the fourth quarter, we guide to a continued and more pronounced acceleration of our year-over-year growth rate than implied in our earlier guidance, with strong underlying profitability allowing us to step up marketing efforts around our new product releases beyond earlier expectations,” continued Mr. Jacobsen.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Opera’s management will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2024 financial results at 8:00 a.m. ET today. The live webcast of the conference call can be accessed at our investor relations website at investor.opera.com, along with the earnings press release and financial tables. Following the call, a replay will be available at the same website.

We also provide announcements regarding our financial performance and other matters, including SEC filings, press releases, slide presentations, business blogs and information on corporate governance, on our investor relations website at investor.opera.com.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to revenue, net income, net cash flow from operating activities and other financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards, we use adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow from operations to evaluate our business. We use these non-IFRS financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. We believe that free cash flow from operations provides useful information regarding our liquidity, including ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, and for distributions to our shareholders.

We define adjusted net income as net income excluding (i) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, (ii) gain (loss) on investments in unconsolidated entities, (iii) non-recurring expenses, (iv) impairment of non-financial assets, (v) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (vi) share-based compensation expense, and (vii) the income tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by revenue, whereas adjusted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding (i) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) net finance income (expense), (iv) gain (loss) on long-term investments in unconsolidated entities, (v) non-recurring expenses, (vi) impairment of non-financial assets, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) share-based compensation expense, and (ix) other operating income. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We define free cash flow from operations as net cash flows from (used in) operating activities less (i) purchases of fixed and intangible assets, (ii) development expenditure and (iii) payment of lease liabilities.

We believe the non-IFRS financial measures defined above are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. However, these non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Our calculations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow from operations may differ from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures, if any, reported by our peers. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the

---

full economic effects of certain items of income, expenses and cash flows. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most closely related financial measures in IFRS Accounting Standards. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view our reported non-IFRS financial measures in conjunction with net income and net cash flow from operating activities.

For reconciliations of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, please see the section titled “Reconciliations of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” included at the end of this earnings press release.
