QUOTE FROM THE CEO

“With €96.6m in revenues achieved in the second quarter, we have delivered an organic revenue growth rate of 26%. Our ability to drive higher revenues on a structurally reduced fixed costs basis enabled us to achieve improved profitability, resulting in an adj. EBITDA of €29.1m and an adj. EBITDA margin of 30%. Our commitment to privacy-first advertising solutions, which result in better outcomes for our clients, is the main driver of this success. This is evidenced by a strong increase in the number of large software clients, which grew by 33% to 851, while the number of ad impressions increased by 24% to 224 billion. Based on our expanded customer reach, as well as further customer onboardings driven by our ongoing investments into privacy-first targeting solutions, we expect continued robust organic growth in the years to come. As a result, we raise our 2024 full-year guidance to €400 million-€420 million in revenues and €125 million-€135 million in adj. EBITDA. Our growth journey has just begun...” commented Remco Westermann, CEO of Verve
