Digital Media Solutions, Inc. Announces Q1 2022 Financial Results and Enhances Technology Stack and Data Asset

  • Record first-quarter revenue of $109 million, up 13% year over year.
  • First-quarter net loss and adjusted EBITDA of $5 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
  • First-quarter gross margin of 29% and variable marketing margin (VMM) of 35%.
  • Announced second quarter 2022 revenue guidance of $97 - $100 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $8 - $10 million.
  • Reduced full-year 2022 GAAP revenue guidance to $440 - $450 million and EBITDA guidance to $45 - $50 million.
  • DMS announces the acquisition of Traverse Data, Inc. and enhancements to its data asset and proprietary technology.

Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS), a leading provider of technology-enabled digital performance advertising solutions connecting consumers and advertisers, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, including record first-quarter revenue, and also announced the acquisition of Traverse Data, Inc.

"We delivered solid results in the quarter, across the various metrics we focus on, including revenue growth, gross margins and adjusted EBITDA" said Joe Marinucci, CEO of DMS. "These results came despite volatility in auto and health insurance, as well as the effects of the current inflationary environment."

First-quarter revenue of $109 million was up 13% year over year, a record amount of revenue for any first quarter in DMS history. Gross margin and variable marketing margin were 29% and 35%, respectively, despite increased media costs that were mitigated by strong media buying expertise and use of the Company's first-party data asset. Net loss totaled $5 million and EBITDA in the quarter was $10.5 million, even as auto insurance market volatility and inflation impacted parts of the business.

Insurance revenue grew 22% and accounted for 60% of total revenues in the quarter. Ecommerce revenue declined 38% and represented 13% of the total. Career and education revenues increased 28% while consumer finance grew 90%, and they accounted for 12% and 10% of total revenues, respectively.

DMS continued to win wallet share from its top advertiser clients. Revenues from its top 20 clients increased 46% over the year ago period, and retention of those top 20 clients was 100%. The Company continues to show diversification outside of the top 20 and its enterprise clients with its 6,000+ independent insurance agents that are now expected to grow as a major insurance carrier joined the platform.

Activated by proprietary DMS technology capabilities, the Company's data program is a key driver of growth. DMS partners with strategic data providers, publisher partners and advertiser clients to help them enhance advertising performance, including customer retention efforts. Using the DMS data asset also helps DMS map current consumer actions against prior behaviors to help predict future consumer shopping patterns.

In a separate press release, DMS announced the acquisition of Traverse Data, which is expected to accelerate DMS technology and data capabilities. Traverse Data leverages the power of data to generate new customers for advertisers and incremental revenue for publishers via a commercialized audience activation, re-engagement and retargeting data signals platform. Traverse Data helps advertisers identify new audiences that look like their best customers and match emails to website shoppers for re-engagement. For additional information, see the Traverse Data acquisition press release at https://investors.digitalmediasolutions.com.

In August of last year, the Company announced plans to evaluate strategic alternatives for DMS to further maximize shareholder value. The process has not yet concluded, and the Company plans to provide updates when they are available.

First-Quarter 2022 Performance:

  • Record first-quarter revenue of $109 million, up 13% over the same quarter last year.
  • Gross profit margin of 29%, compared to 29% in the year-ago quarter.
  • Variable marketing margin of 35%, up from 32% in Q1 2021.
  • Operating expenses totaled $36.6 million, an increase of $9 million over the same quarter last year.
  • Net loss of $5.4 million versus Net loss of $0.2 million in the same quarter last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $10.5 million, down $6 million or 36% over the same quarter last year.
  • EPS came in at $(0.09) compared to $0.00 in Q1 2021.
  • We ended the quarter with $22 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and total debt of $220 million, or a net leverage of approximately 3.8x.

First-Quarter 2022 Segment Performance (excluding intracompany revenue):

  • Brand-Direct Solutions generated revenue of $61 million, up 9% over the same quarter last year. Gross margin was 21%, down from 27% in the prior year.
  • Marketplace Solutions generated revenue of $59 million, up 19% over the same quarter last year. Gross margin was 28%, up from 26% in the prior year.
  • Technology Solutions, previously named "Other Solutions" generated revenue of $2 million, up 16% compared to Q1 2021. Gross margin was 89%, up from 79% in the prior year.

Second-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Guidance:

Our dynamic diversification remains key for us to be able to adjust and pivot quickly. As such, we remain comfortable with maintaining our previously discussed gross margin guidance of 28%-31% and Variable Marketing Margin range of 32%-36%. However, due to uncertainty in the timing of auto insurance recovery, inflation and other macro challenges, the Company is announcing guidance for its second quarter and revising guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022, as follows:

Second-Quarter 2022:

  • Revenue: $97 - $100 million
  • Gross Margin: 28% - 31%
  • Variable Marketing Margin: 32% - 36%
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $8-$10 million

Full-Year 2022:

  • Revenue: $440 - $450 million
  • Gross Margin: 28% - 31%
  • Variable Marketing Margin: 32% - 36%
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $45 - $50 million

Adjusted EBITDA and Variable Marketing Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Variable Marketing Margin provide useful information to investors and help explain and isolate the core operating performance of the business — refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below. For guidance purposes, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. DMS’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward statements are often identified by words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, DMS’s expectations with respect to its future performance and its ability to implement its strategy, including recognizing the benefits of the Traverse Data acquisition, and are based on the beliefs and expectations of our management team from the information available at the time such statements are made. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside DMS’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) our ability to identify, evaluate, and complete any strategic alternative in connection with our review of strategic alternatives; (2) the possibility that DMS may not be able to realize higher value for its business through a strategic alternative and therefore retains its current corporate and business structure; (3) the possibility that DMS may decide not to undertake a strategic alternative or that it is not able to consummate any proposed strategic alternative due to, among other things, market, regulatory and other factors; (4) the potential for disruption to DMS’s business, including, among other things, attracting and retaining customers, suppliers, key personnel; (5) any potential adverse effects on DMS’s stock price resulting from the announcement of the process to review potential strategic alternatives or the results of that review; (6) the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises; (7) changes in client demand for our services and our ability to adapt to such changes; (8) the entry of new competitors in the market; (9) the ability to maintain and attract consumers and advertisers and successfully grow and operate our new health insurance agency business, in the face of changing economic or competitive conditions; (10) the ability to maintain, grow and protect the data DMS obtains from consumers and advertisers; (11) the performance of DMS’s technology infrastructure; (12) the ability to protect DMS’s intellectual property rights; (13) the ability to successfully source and complete acquisitions and to integrate the operations and realize the benefits of companies DMS acquires on a timely basis consistent with our plan, including the Crisp Results assets, Aimtell, PushPros, Aramis Interactive, and Traverse Data, Inc.; (14) the ability to improve and maintain adequate internal controls over financial and management systems, and remediate the identified material weakness; (15) changes in applicable laws or regulations and the ability to maintain compliance; (16) our substantial levels of indebtedness; (17) volatility in the trading price on the NYSE of our common stock and warrants; (18) fluctuations in value of our private placement warrants; and (19) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in DMS’s filings with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” in DMS’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its subsequent filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown, and it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. DMS cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. DMS cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. DMS does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to providing financial measurements based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this earnings release includes additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”), including Variable Marketing Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found below.

As explained further below, we use these financial measures internally to review the performance of our business units without regard to certain accounting treatments, non-operational, extraordinary or non-recurring items. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. Because of these limitations, management relies primarily on its GAAP results and uses non-GAAP measures only as a supplement.

Variable Marketing Margin

Variable Marketing Margin is a measure of the efficiency of the Company’s revenue generation efforts, measuring revenue after subtracting the variable marketing and direct media costs that are directly associated with revenue generation. Variable Marketing Margin and Variable Marketing Margin % of revenue are key reporting metrics by which the Company measures the efficacy of its marketing and media acquisition efforts.

Variable Marketing Margin is defined as revenue less variable marketing expense. Variable marketing expense is defined as the expense attributable to variable costs paid for direct marketing and media acquisition costs, and includes only the portion of cost of revenue attributable to costs paid for this direct marketing activity and advertising acquired for resale to the Company’s customers, and excludes overhead, fixed costs and personnel-related expenses. The majority of these variable advertising costs are expressly intended to drive traffic to our websites and to our customers’ websites, and these variable advertising costs are included in cost of revenue on the company's consolidated statements of operations.

Below is a reconciliation of net loss to Variable Marketing Margin and net loss % of revenue to Variable Marketing Margin % of revenue.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Variable Marketing Margin to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (in thousands, except percentages):

Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow Conversion

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (a) interest expense, (b) income tax expense, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (e) debt extinguishment, (f) stock-based compensation, (g) change in tax receivable agreement liability, (h) restructuring costs, (i) acquisition costs, and (j) other expense.

In addition, we adjust to take into account estimated cost synergies related to our acquisitions. These adjustments are estimated based on cost-savings that are expected to be realized within our acquisitions over time as these acquisitions are fully integrated into DMS. These cost-savings result from the removal of cost and or service redundancies that already exist within DMS, technology synergies as systems are consolidated and centralized, headcount reductions based on redundancies, right-sized cost structure of media and service costs utilizing the most beneficial contracts within DMS and the acquired companies with external media and service providers. We believe that these non-synergized costs tend to overstate our expenses during the periods in which such synergies are still being realized.

Furthermore, in order to review the performance of the combined business over periods that extend prior to our ownership of the acquired businesses, we include the pre-acquisition performance of the businesses acquired. Management believes that doing so helps to understand the combined operating performance and potential of the business as a whole and makes it easier to compare performance of the combined business over different periods.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less capital expenditures, and Unlevered Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Unlevered Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

We use the non-GAAP measures Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS to assess operating performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial and operating performance. Management also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net loss attributable to Digital Media Solutions, Inc. adjusted for (x) costs associated with the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, debt extinguishment, Business Combination, acquisition-related costs, equity based compensation and lease restructuring charges and (y) the reallocation of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests from the assumed acquisition by Digital Media Solutions, Inc. of all units of Digital Media Solutions Holdings, LLC ("DMSH LLC") (other than units held by subsidiaries of Digital Media Solutions, Inc.) for newly-issued shares of Class A Common Stock of Digital Media Solutions, Inc. on a one-to-one basis. We define adjusted pro forma net loss per share as adjusted pro forma net loss divided by the weighted-average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the acquisition by Digital Media Solutions, Inc. of all outstanding DMSH LLC units (other than units held by subsidiaries of Digital Media Solutions, Inc.) for newly-issued shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one-basis.
