Viant Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: DSP), a leader in AI-powered
programmatic advertising, today reported financial results for its
third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“We delivered outstanding third quarter results, with revenue,
contribution ex-TAC, and adjusted EBITDA surpassing the high end of
our guidance,” said Tim Vanderhook, Co-Founder and CEO, Viant. “For
the second consecutive quarter, advertiser spending on our platform
hit a new record, fueled by unprecedented CTV spending. We're
excited to build upon our CTV targeting and measurement
capabilities with the acquisition of IRIS.TV, which we announced
today. In addition, the recent introduction of ViantAI has
captivated advertisers and aligns with their increasing desire to
explore innovative, efficient and more cost-effective alternatives
in programmatic advertising, further fueling our growth.”

Business Highlights:
- Record quarter for total advertiser spend ("spend")(2) on the
platform, with an all-time high in connected television ("CTV")
spend.
- CTV spend grew nearly 50% year-over-year, driven by our Direct
Access program and Household ID technology.
- Launched ViantAI, the first fully autonomous advertising
software platform, driven by the powerful capabilities of
generative AI.
- Named the winner of the 2024 Best Demand-Side Platform (DSP) in
the 7th annual MarTech Breakthrough Awards, conducted by MarTech
Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization.
- Completed the acquisition of IRIS.TV (“IRIS”), a global content
and data platform built for CTV. IRIS enables advertisers to target
and measure video campaigns using content-level contextual,
emotional and brand-suitability data. This acquisition will
accelerate the mission of IRIS to expand its CTV content
identification at scale across premium publishers, while providing
Viant with more advanced CTV targeting and measurement
capabilities.
- Purchased 1.4 million shares of Class A common stock from May
1, 2024, through November 8, 2024 for a total of $14 million. As of
November 8, 2024, $36 million remains available for repurchases
under our Repurchase Program.
“We had a very strong third quarter with contribution ex-TAC
growing more than 20% year-over-year for the fifth consecutive
quarter. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
contribution ex-TAC increased to 31%, marking a 6-percentage point
improvement compared to the same period last year,” said Larry
Madden, CFO, Viant. “We remain highly confident in our ability to
continue capturing market share, driven by our ongoing success in
CTV, along with the strong initial demand for and growing adoption
of the ViantAI product suite. Our solutions are delivering
significant efficiencies and cost savings to our customers while
broadening our addressable market by making programmatic
advertising more accessible to businesses of all sizes and
marketing budgets.”
Guidance:
For the fourth quarter 2024, the Company expects:
- Revenue in the range of $82 million to $85 million
- Contribution ex-TAC in the range of $51 million to $53
million
- Non-GAAP operating expenses in the range of $35 million to $36
million
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $16 million to $17 million
Contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC,
non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of
Class A common stock—basic and diluted 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to
Viant’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP are
included at the end of this press release under “Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” For a description of these non-GAAP
financial measures, including the reasons management uses each
measure, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press
release. We are not able to estimate gross profit, total operating
expenses or net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis or
reconcile the guidance provided for contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP
operating expenses, or adjusted EBITDA to the closest corresponding
GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity with
respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP financial
measures; in particular, the impact of future traffic acquisition
costs and other platform operations expenses, as well as the
measures and effects of our stock-based compensation related to
equity grants that are directly impacted by unpredictable
fluctuations in our share price and the potential forfeitures of
equity grants. We expect the variability of the above charges could
have a significant and potentially unpredictable impact on our
future GAAP financial results.
- For a discussion on how we define, use and calculate these
non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation thereof to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” and the supplementary schedules under
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press
release.
- We define advertiser spend as the total amount billed to our
customers for activity on our platform inclusive of the costs of
advertising media, third-party data, other add-on features and our
platform fee we charge customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors and others with additional information
regarding Viant’s results, we have included in this press release
the following financial measures that are not calculated in
accordance with GAAP: contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP operating
expenses, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
contribution ex-TAC, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP
earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and
diluted. 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 financial measures allow
investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using
some of the same measures as management.
Contribution ex-TAC is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross
profit is the most comparable GAAP financial measure, which is
calculated as revenue less platform operations expense. In
calculating contribution ex-TAC, we add back other platform
operations expense to gross profit. 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. “Traffic acquisition
costs” or “TAC” represents amounts incurred and payable to
suppliers for the cost of advertising media, third-party data and
other add-on features related to our fixed CPM pricing option and
certain arrangements related to our percentage of spend pricing
option. In particular, we believe that contribution ex-TAC can
provide a measure of period-to-period comparisons for all pricing
options within our business. Accordingly, we believe that this
measure provides information to investors and the market in
understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same
manner as our management and board of directors.
Non-GAAP operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Total operating expenses is the most comparable GAAP financial
measure. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined by us as total
operating expenses plus other expense (income), net, less TAC,
stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, and certain
other items that are not related to our core operations, such as
restructuring and other charges, transaction expense and
non-operational media purchases. Non-GAAP operating expenses is a
key component in calculating adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the
measures we use to provide our business outlook to the investment
community. Additionally, non-GAAP operating expenses is used by our
management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our
operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual
budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. We
believe that the elimination of TAC, stock-based compensation,
depreciation, amortization and certain other items not related to
our core operations provides another measure for period-to-period
comparisons of our business, provides additional insight into our
core controllable costs and is a useful metric for investors
because it allows them to evaluate our operational performance in
the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as
net income (loss) before interest expense (income), net, income tax
benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation and certain other items that are not related to our
core operations, such as restructuring and other charges,
transaction expense and non-operational media purchases. Net income
(loss) is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted
EBITDA as a percentage of contribution ex-TAC is a non-GAAP
financial measure we calculate by dividing adjusted EBITDA by
contribution ex-TAC for the period or periods presented.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
contribution ex-TAC are 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. In particular, we believe
that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating
adjusted EBITDA can provide a measure for period-to-period
comparisons of our business. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
contribution ex-TAC, a non-GAAP financial measure, 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 TAC. Accordingly, we believe
that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
contribution ex-TAC provide information to investors and the market
in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same
manner as our management and board of directors. Net income (loss)
as a percentage of gross profit is the most comparable GAAP
financial measure.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure
defined by us as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact
of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not
related to our core operations, such as restructuring and other
charges, transaction expense and non-operational media purchases,
as well as the income tax effect of these adjustments. Net income
(loss) is the most comparable GAAP financial measure. 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 and certain other items
that are not related to our core operations provides measures for
period-to-period comparisons of our business and additional insight
into our core controllable costs. Accordingly, we believe that
non-GAAP net income (loss) 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.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic
and diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as
earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic and
diluted, adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based
compensation and certain other items that are not related to our
core operations, such as restructuring and other charges,
transaction expense, and non-operational media purchases, as well
as the income tax effect of such adjustments. Earnings (loss) per
share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted is the most
comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per
share of Class A common stock—basic and diluted is 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 and
certain other items that are not related to our core operations
provides measures 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 of
Class A common stock—basic and diluted provides information to
investors and the market generally that aids in the understanding
and evaluation of our results of operations in the same manner as
our management and board of directors.
Basic non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock
is calculated by dividing the non-GAAP net income (loss)
attributable to Class A common stockholders by the number of
weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Shares
of our Class B common stock do not share in our earnings or losses
and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate
presentation of basic and diluted non-GAAP earnings (loss) of Class
B common stock under the two-class method has not been
presented.
Diluted non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share of Class A common
stock adjusts the basic non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share for the
potential dilutive impact of shares of Class A common stock such as
equity awards using the treasury-stock method and Class B common
stock using the if-converted method. Diluted non-GAAP earnings
(loss) per share of Class A common stock considers the impact of
potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is
a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would
have an anti-dilutive effect. Shares of our Class B common stock,
RSUs and nonqualified stock options are considered potentially
dilutive shares of Class A common stock. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, Class B common stock has been
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share
of Class A common stock because the effect would have been
anti-dilutive under the if-converted method. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2023, Class B common stock and
nonqualified stock options have been excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock
because the effect would have been anti-dilutive under both the
if-converted and treasury stock method.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, the
Company’s financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP
and should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the
Company may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial
measures presented by other companies, including peer companies,
and therefore comparability may be limited. 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. Management
encourages investors and others to review Viant’s financial
information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial
measure.
