AdTheorent Holding Company, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

NEW YORK, Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AdTheorent Holding Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTH) (“AdTheorent” or “the Company”), a machine learning pioneer and industry leader using privacy-forward solutions to deliver measurable value for programmatic advertisers, today announced its third quarter 2023 financial results.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Overview:

  • Revenue was $40.9 million, an 8.8% increase compared to $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Gross profit was $18.9 million, up 4.8%, from $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross Profit Margin was 46.2%, compared to 47.9% in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit* increased $1.6 million, or 6.7%, to $26.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin was 64.5% compared to 65.8% in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Net loss was $4.2 million compared to net income of $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a total of $1.5 million of mark to market gains related to fair value of the Seller's Earn-Out and Warrants liabilities compared to gains of $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* increased $1.1 million, or 32.0%, to $4.7 million compared to third quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted Gross Profit of 17.9% represented an increase from 14.5% in the third quarter of 2022.

“We made tangible progress in the third quarter and are encouraged by our return to growth. Results were particularly robust in areas of investment, including self-service, AdTheorent Health, and our algorithm-based Predictive Audience solutions, all of which saw exceptional growth during the quarter, as customers responded enthusiastically to our differentiated offerings,” said James Lawson, CEO of AdTheorent. “We expect this momentum to continue, we remain on track to meet or exceed our full-year projections for 2023, and we are looking ahead to 2024 with optimism.”

Third Quarter and Recent Business and Operating Highlights:

  • The third quarter was the most active quarter to date for AdTheorent’s self-service adoption with a 28% sequential increase in self-service platform revenue and 57% sequential increase in advertiser count.
  • AdTheorent Health momentum accelerated, with 28% year-over-year revenue growth and a 51% sequential increase in advertiser count in the third quarter of 2023; adoption of AdTheorent Health Audiences gained momentum, with 36 active campaigns in the third quarter, up 89% compared to the second quarter.
  • AdTheorent’s algorithm-based and ID-independent predictive audiences continued to yield strong customer adoption with 66 active campaigns in the third quarter.
  • AdTheorent formed a strategic partnership with Hero Media that establishes the first Black-owned demand-side platform (“DSP”) in programmatic advertising, Hero One, combining AdTheorent’s award-winning platform and technology with Hero Media’s media network, exclusive properties, and unique data and insights, allowing platform users to reach diverse audiences at scale.
  • AdTheorent Health Audiences received Neutronian's Quality Index (“NQI”) Certification based on AdTheorent’s superior capabilities in areas including: consent and compliance, data quality and sourcing transparency, privacy and performance.
  • AdTheorent received prestigious industry recognition in third quarter including:
    • AdTheorent was named “Best Buy-Side Programmatic Platform” in the Digiday Technology Awards.
    • AdTheorent Health won a “Programmatic Marketing Innovation Award” in the MarTech Breakthrough Awards.
    • AdTheorent was named a 2023 Crain’s Best Places to Work in New York City, marking the Company’s 10th consecutive year receiving this recognition.

*We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See the supplementary schedules in this press release for a discussion of how we define and calculate these measures and a reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Financial Outlook:

The Company's growth may continue to be impacted in the remainder of 2023 by macroeconomic factors beyond its control, such as inflationary pressures and recessionary fears. Based on the current business environment, recent performance and the current trends in the marketplace and subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, the Company's outlook for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023 includes the following:

Fourth quarter 2023:

  • Revenue in the range of $55.0 million to $57.0 million.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit* of at least 64% of revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $10.0 million to $11.5 million.

Full-year ending December 31, 2023:

  • Revenue growth compared to 2022.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit* between 64% to 65% of revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* margin of between 16% and 19%.

Although the Company provides guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, it is not able to provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of net income, including equity-based compensation, are not predictable, making it impractical for the Company to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. Similarly, although the Company provides guidance for Adjusted Gross Profit, it is not able to provide guidance for Gross Profit, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of Gross Profit, including equity-based compensation, are not predictable, making it impractical for the Company to provide guidance on Gross Profit or to reconcile its Adjusted Gross Profit guidance to Gross Profit without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information regarding net income and Gross Profit, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit. The Company's management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity and make strategic decisions. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management.

Because of the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, “Adjusted Gross Profit,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Adjusted Gross Profit” should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate AdTheorent's business.

The tables below show the Company’s non-GAAP financial metrics reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial metrics included in this release.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP profitability measure. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure of campaign profitability, monitored by management and the board, used to evaluate the Company's operating performance and trends, develop short- and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The Company believes this measure provides a useful period-to-period comparison of campaign profitability and is useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measurement, which is calculated as revenue less platform operations costs. In calculating Adjusted Gross Profit, the Company adds back other platform operations costs, which consist of amortization expense related to capitalized software, depreciation expense, allocated costs of personnel which set up and monitor campaign performance, and platform hosting, license, and maintenance costs, to gross profit.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of revenue to Adjusted Gross Profit for the periods presented:

 Three Months Ended September 30,  Nine Months Ended September 30, 
 2023  2022  2023  2022 
 (In thousands) 
Revenue$40,890  $37,584  $111,151  $114,301 
Less: Platform operations 22,019   19,581   61,141   58,207 
Gross Profit 18,871   18,003   50,010   56,094 
Add back: Other platform operations 7,519   6,739   21,319   19,979 
Adjusted Gross Profit$26,390  $24,742  $71,329  $76,073 


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net (loss) income, before interest (income) expense, net; depreciation, amortization; and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense, transaction costs, non-core operations and other non-recurring items. Net (loss) income is the most comparable GAAP measurement.

Collectively these non-GAAP financial measures are key profitability measures used by the Company's management and board to understand and evaluate its operating performance and trends, develop short-and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The Company believes that these measures can provide useful period-to-period comparisons of campaign profitability. Accordingly, the Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
