Doron Gerstel, Perion’s CEO, commented, “Perion is building an increasingly predictable and sustainable financial model, with our strong revenue ramp continuing into 2022 performance. Our results are driven by our strategic diversity of revenue streams, giving us the ability to deliver growth where the opportunities are. In the first quarter of 2022, the opportunities were clearly in our SORT innovation – and its proprietary cookieless technology – which has been used in more than 100 campaigns since launched in October 2021!”

“We also benefited from the growing market acceptance for the solutions of Vidazoo, our most recent acquisition, which validates our continued ability to identify and integrate accretive M&A,” added Mr. Gerstel. “In addition, the economic value of our iHUB continues to prove itself, as our innovative AdTech assets connect to this centralized AI-led digital control center, leading to both reduced operational expenses and improved media margin."

Mr. Gerstel added, “As a result of our strong start of 2022 and increased visibility, we plan to update full-year guidance when we report our first quarter results, on Thursday, April 28. I invite all interested parties to read the attached White Paper, which details the innovative technology framework and deployment which enables SORT to deliver superior results to cookie-based targets, while respecting privacy."

Non-GAAP measures

We have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and Revenue after Traffic Acquisition Costs (“Revenue ex-TAC”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income excluding stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation, restructuring costs, acquisition related items consisting of amortization of intangible assets and goodwill and intangible asset impairments, acquisition related expenses, gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements and certain accounting entries under the business combination accounting rules that require us to recognize a legal performance obligation related to revenue arrangements of an acquired entity based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. 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. Revenue ex-TAC presents revenue reduced by traffic acquisition costs, reflecting that a portion of our revenue must be directly passed to publishers or advertisers and presents our revenue excluding such items. 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.
