IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viant Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: DSP), a leading people-based advertising software company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“We had a very strong second quarter, highlighted by revenue growth of 66% and continued momentum with Connected TV, which more than doubled year-over-year,” said Tim Vanderhook, co-founder and CEO of Viant. “Our people-based approach to digital advertising and patented Household Identification technology remain key differentiators that attract customers to our platform as they look to drive tangible ROI from their marketing investments. We are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across our business and are raising guidance for the full year across all key metrics.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue: Revenue was $50.4 million, an increase of 66% year-over-year.
- Gross Profit: Gross Profit was $18.7 million, an increase of 58% year-over-year.
- Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC was $32.2 million, an increase of 61% year-over-year.(1)
- Net Loss: Net Loss was $18.1 million, or ($0.32) per diluted share of Class A common stock in the second quarter, compared to Net Loss of $0.03 million for the same period in 2020.
- Non-GAAP Net Income: Non-GAAP Net Income was $5.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share of Class A common stock in the second quarter of 2021.(1)
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $8.3 million, an increase of 203% versus $2.8 million for the same period in 2020.(1)
- Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC was 26%.(1) Net Income (Loss) as a percentage of Gross Profit, the most comparable GAAP measure, is not meaningful due to the Net Loss for the period.
Business Highlights:
- Contribution ex-TAC from Connected TV grew 105% year-over-year in the second quarter and represented 41% of total Contribution ex-TAC. Gross Profit, the most comparable GAAP measure, is not calculable by channel because Other Platform Operations expenses cannot be allocated by channel.
- Total Platform Spend increased 58% year-over-year in the second quarter. (2)
- Total Active Customers grew to 288 by the end of the second quarter, a sequential increase of 22 from 266 at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Average Contribution ex-TAC per Active Customer increased to $438 thousand in the second quarter.(3)
“We once again exceeded our guidance across all metrics and demonstrated accelerating growth across our business,” said Larry Madden, CFO of Viant. “In addition to doubling our Connected TV business, we had solid growth of 40% in all other channels during the quarter. We saw recovery in some of our core advertiser verticals that were hit the hardest by the pandemic, and at the same time are continuing to invest in our people and technology to drive growth in the quarters ahead.”
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company expects:
- Revenue in the range of $48 million to $50 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 19% to 24%.
- Contribution ex-TAC in the range of $32.5 million to $33.5 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 16% to 20%.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4 million to $5 million, or Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC of 12% to 15%.
For the full year 2021, the Company is raising guidance and now expects:
- Revenue in the range of $205 million to $210 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 24% to 27%.
- Contribution ex-TAC in the range of $137 million to $142 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 24% to 28%.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $29 million to $32 million, or Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC of 21% to 23%.
Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. We are not able to estimate gross profit and Net Income (loss) on a forward-looking basis or reconcile the guidance provided to the closest corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the variability and complexity with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation related to new equity grants that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our share price. We expect the variability of the above charges could have a significant and potentially unpredictable impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Conference Call and Webcast Details:Viant will host a conference call to discuss its financial results on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time). A live webcast of the call can be accessed from Viant’s Investor Relations website. An archived version of the webcast will be available from the same website after the call.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
We use financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. The Company's management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management.
In calculating contribution ex-TAC, we add back other platform operations expense to gross profit, the most comparable GAAP measurement. Contribution ex-TAC is a key profitability measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measurement, before interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses and the extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short-and long-term operational plans. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our non-GAAP metric, contribution ex-TAC, is used by our management and board of directors to evaluate Adjusted EBITDA relative to our profitability after costs that are directly variable to revenues, which comprise traffic acquisition costs.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined by us as net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measurement, adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses and the extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of stock-based compensation, gain on debt extinguishment, and certain other items that are not related to our core operations provides another measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and provides additional insight into our core controllable costs.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is defined by us as earnings (loss) per share, the most comparable GAAP measurement, adjusted to eliminate any impact of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses, and the extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of stock-based compensation, gain on extinguishment of debt and certain other items that are not related to our core operations provides another measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business and provides additional insight into our core controllable costs. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share provides information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to supplement, and not substitute the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures as defined by the Company may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results, cash flows or leverage will be unaffected by other unusual or non-recurring items.
The following tables show the reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial metrics included in this release.
