Operational Highlights and Recent Business Wins

  • Significantly increases Tremor's global market share and is expected to create one of the most scaled and compelling CTV and video end-to-end platforms in the market
  • Enhances Tremor's technology offering and business footprint across core growth drivers including self-service DSP, CTV, performance, and data, while also adding new insight tools, and linear TV capabilities

  • Management initially expects to achieve meaningful annual run-rate operating cost synergies of approximately $50 million on a combined pro forma basis post-closing and following completion of the integration
  • Tremor expects to obtain new $150 million debt facilities comprised of a secured term loan and a revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition and support future strategic investments and initiatives
  • Transaction is expected to close in Q3 2022, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approval or the expiration of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act")

  • Tremor expected to benefit from Hisense's sponsorship of the upcoming FIFA World Cup and exclusive ad monetization and content opportunities driven by FIFA+ and other sports-related content launching on Hisense VIDAA-powered devices
  • Investment is expected to close in Q3 2022, subject to customary closing conditions

Financial Guidance

• Management believes Tremor remains well-positioned to benefit from anticipated future industry growth trends and Company-specific catalysts
• Tremor's full year 2022 guidance is based on the expectation that there will be no major Covid-19-related setbacks or significant escalation of war or other hostilities that may cause economic conditions to further deteriorate or otherwise significantly reduce advertiser demand
• Tremor's full year 2022 guidance considers challenging market conditions that limited advertiser activity in Q2 2022, such as inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, recession concerns, and widespread global supply chain issues in certain verticals such as automobile manufacturing, with the expectation that these challenges could continue to have an impact on the advertising demand environment for the remainder of 2022 and beyond, and excludes any potential impact from its pending acquisition of Amobee, which is expected to close later in Q3 2022
• Tremor believes its end-to-end platform, scaled and efficient operating model, diverse customer base, and broad range of revenue verticals help mitigate effects of these potential headwinds and accordingly, Tremor estimates:
  
  
• • Full year 2022 Contribution ex-TAC of approximately $290 million
  • Full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $155 million
    
    
• Following the anticipated closing and integration of the proposed acquisition of Amobee Tremor expects to generate on a combined pro forma basis:
  
  
• • Full year 2023 Contribution ex-TAC of approximately $500 million
  • Full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $200 million

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, Non-IFRS Net Income (Loss) and Non-IFRS Earnings (Loss) 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 net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-IFRS income (loss)," included as part of this press release.

• Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC is defined as our gross profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenues and cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) minus the Performance media cost ("traffic acquisition costs" or "TAC"). 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 Tremor International, 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 as total comprehensive income for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation differences for foreign operations, financing expenses, net, tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and IPO-related costs and other expenses (income), 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 as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC.
   
• Non-IFRS Income (Loss) and Non-IFRS Earnings (Loss) per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings (loss) per share as non-IFRS income (loss) divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, cash and non-cash based acquisition and related expenses, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger related severance costs, transaction expenses. 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 (loss) 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 (loss) per share is that other companies may define non-IFRS earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss).

Review Auditor Report to the Shareholders of Tremor International Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Tremor International Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter - "the Company") comprising the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, the related condensed consolidated interim statements of operation and other comprehensive income for the six and three month periods then ended and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (Israel) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:     GENERAL

1. Reporting entity:
   
   Tremor International Ltd. (the "Company" or "Tremor International"), formerly known as Taptica International Ltd., was incorporated in Israel under the laws of the State of Israel on March 20, 2007. The ordinary shares of the Company are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange and the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each of which represents two ordinary shares of the Company, represented by the American Depositary Receipts ("ADR") are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The address of the registered office is 82 Yigal Alon Street Tel-Aviv, 6789124, Israel.
   
   Tremor International is a global Company offering an end-to-end software platform that supports a wide range of media types (e.g., video, display, etc.) and devices (e.g., mobile, Connected TVs, streaming devices, desktop, etc.), creating an efficient marketplace where advertisers (buyers) are able to purchase high quality advertising inventory from publishers (sellers) at scale. Tremor Video Inc. ("Tremor Video''), a wholly owned subsidiary, is the Company's Demand Side Platform ("DSP") providing full-service and self-managed marketplace access to advertisers and agencies in order to execute their digital marketing campaigns in real time across various ad formats. Unruly Group, LLC (Former name RhythmOne, LLC), provides access to the Sell Side Platform ("SSP") which is designed to monetize digital inventory for publishers and app developers by enabling their content to have the necessary code and requirements for programmatic advertising integration. The SSP provides access to significant amounts of data, unique demand, and a comprehensive product suite to drive more effective inventory management and revenue optimization. The Company also provides a Data Management Platform ("DMP") solution which integrates both DSP and SSP solutions enabling advertisers and publishers to use data from various sources in order to optimize results of their advertising campaigns. Tremor International Ltd. is headquartered in Israel and maintains offices throughout the US, Canada, EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
   
   
2. The global spread of COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 has created significant volatility, global macroeconomic uncertainty, and disruption in our business and across financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to control its spread has curtailed the movement of people, goods, and services worldwide, including in regions in which the Company, its customers and partners operate, and is continuing to impact economic activity and financial markets.
   
   Certain verticals in which the Company's customers operate experienced supply chain disruptions that negatively impacted product availability and, combined with inflation and other challenging macroeconomic factors, resulted in advertisers across several industries reducing or delaying their overall levels of advertising spend. The Company believes a combination of challenging macroeconomic factors, including rising inflation, has contributed to recessionary concerns which has also driven a reduction in consumer discretionary spending, which may continue for the remainder of this year and beyond.
   
   
3. Material events in the reporting period:
   
   On June 19, 2022, Unruly Media Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a definitive agreement to make a strategic USD 25 million investment in VIDAA (Netherlands) International Holdings B.V. (the "Investment"), a smart TV operating system and streaming platform, and a subsidiary of Hisense Co., Ltd.  The Investment is intended to reflect 2.439% of VIDAA's issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
