Dollar-based net expansion rate of 153%
ironSource (NYSE: IS) (“ironSource” or the “Company”), a leading
business platform for the App Economy, today announced financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, the
Company provided its initial outlook for the second quarter ending
June 30, 2022.
“We’ve had an excellent quarter, with record revenue of $190
million, growing 58% year-over-year, and a dollar-based net
expansion rate of 153%, as ironSource has become the gateway to the
App Economy and the platform of choice for app developers turning
their apps into successful businesses,” said Tomer Bar-Zeev, CEO
and co founder of ironSource. “Our strong execution reflects our
scale, product innovation and data advantage. No less important,
our results highlight our deep knowledge of what is necessary to
create a successful app business and to constantly meet developer
needs, by opening new avenues for app marketing and growth, and
helping apps anticipate and address new industry trends.”
First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Total revenue of $190 million, an increase of 58%
year-over-year
- GAAP Net Income of $14 million
- Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $59 million, an increase of 49%
year-over-year
- Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 of 31%
- Dollar-based net expansion rate of 153%, compared to an average
of 157% for the last 10 quarters
- 397 customers each contributing more than $100,000 of revenue
in the trailing 12 months compared to 292 in the 12 months ended
March 31, 2021, an increase of 36% year-over-year
1 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are financial
measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with,
U.S. GAAP. Please see Annex A of this
release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the
most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance
with GAAP for each of the periods presented. We calculate Adjusted
EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
First Quarter 2022 Corporate Highlights:
- Announced the launch of the new Luna platform. Combining the
Luna Labs and Bidalgo acquisitions, Luna is the first cross-channel
marketing platform specifically built for app marketers, allowing
ironSource to capitalize on additional streams of marketing spend
in the App Economy.
- Announced Luna Search Ads, which allows app marketers to better
create, manage and optimize campaigns on Apple Search Ads.
- Announced the launch of a marketability testing tool for mobile
gaming apps, which allows developers to assess the product market
fit of a game very early on by evaluating whether it can be
scalably marketed.
Business Outlook:
ironSource is introducing guidance for the quarter ending June
30, 2022 and updating annual guidance as follows:
Second quarter of fiscal 2022:
- Total revenue is expected to be between $180 million and $185
million, representing 35% year-over-year growth at the
midpoint.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 is expected to be between $52 million and $54
million, representing 15% year-over-year growth at the
midpoint.
Full-year fiscal 2022:
- Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $750 million to
$780 million compared to $790 million to $820 million previously,
representing 38% year-over-year growth at the midpoint
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $230 million
to $240 million compared to $255 million to $265 million
previously, representing 21% year-over-year growth at the
midpoint.

2 Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not required
by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The Company has not
reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income because net
income is not accessible on a forward-looking basis and,
accordingly, a reconciliation to net income is not available
without unreasonable effort. See “Key Performance Metrics and
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
ironSource monitors the key business metrics set forth below to
help evaluate the business and growth trends, establish budgets,
measure the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts, and
assess operational efficiencies. The calculation of the key metrics
discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used
by other companies, securities analysts or investors. Also included
in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures,
including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are
designed to complement the financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP, because ironSource management believes such
measures are useful to investors. See Annex
A to this press release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measures to the nearest GAAP measure, which should be
carefully evaluated.
Customers Contributing More than $100,000 of Revenue
ironSource’s larger customer relationships drive scale, improved
unit economics and operating leverage in its business model, which
improves its solutions and thereby increases its value proposition
to all of ironSource’s customers. To measure ironSource’s ability
to scale with its customers and attract large enterprises to its
platform, ironSource counts the number of customers that
contributed more than $100,000 in revenue in the trailing 12
months. ironSource’s gross customer retention rate is calculated by
comparing two twelve-month periods to see how many customers in the
previous period remain active customers in the current period.
ironSource’s customer count is subject to adjustments for
acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs and other market
activity.
Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate
ironSource believes the growth in the use of its platform by
existing customers is an important measure of the health of its
business and future growth prospects. ironSource monitors its
performance in this area using an indicator management refers to as
dollar-based net expansion rate. ironSource calculates dollar-based
net expansion rate for a period by dividing current period revenue
from a set of customers by prior period revenue of the same set of
customers. Prior period revenue is the trailing 12-month revenue
measured as of such prior period end. Current period revenue is the
trailing 12-month revenue from the same customers as of the current
period end. Management’s calculation of dollar-based net expansion
rate includes the effect of any customer renewals, expansion,
contraction and churn, but excludes revenue from new customers.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
ironSource defines Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing
operations, net of income taxes, as adjusted for income taxes,
financial expenses, net and depreciation and amortization, further
adjusted, as applicable, for asset impairments, share-based
compensation expense, fair value adjustments related to contingent
consideration, acquisition-related costs and offering costs.
ironSource defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA
calculated as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin are included in this press release because they are
key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess
our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Margin are frequently used by analysts, investors and other
interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
ironSource management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin are appropriate measures of operating performance
because each eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate
directly to the performance of the underlying business.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures
of our financial performance and should not be considered as
alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance,
as alternatives to cash flows from operations as a measure of
liquidity, or as alternatives to any other performance measure
derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin should not be construed as inferences that our future
results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not intended to be
measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as
they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs
that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash
requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and
amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying
on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental measures. Our measures of
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to
different methods of calculation. For more information on the
non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables
provided in Annex A below. The
accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial
measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial
measures and the related reconciliations between these financial
measures. The Company has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA
guidance to net income because net income is not accessible on a
forward-looking basis. Certain items that impact Adjusted EBITDA
are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably
predicted. These items include, but are not limited to, share based
compensation expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various
factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results
for the guidance period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net
income is not available without unreasonable effort.
