QUOTE FROM THE CEO
"With 96.6 €m 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 29.1 €m and an adj. EBITDA margin of 30%. Our commitment to privacy first advertising solutions which results 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 increased 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 Guidance 2024 to 400-420 million revenues and 125-135 million adj. EBITDA. Our growth journey has just begun..." commented Remco Westermann, CEO of Verve.
