Factors to Note

Perion Network’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the company’s strategy to diversify its revenue source. As a result of its diversification strategy, high-margin business segments, display advertising and search advertising revenue segment grew exponentially in the last reported quarter. This trend is expected to have continued in the third quarter of 2022.

PERI’s display advertising revenues are expected to reflect benefits from the rising adoption of the company’s video and CTV solutions. The increasing average deal size with customers and the acquisition of Vidazoo, which is helping PERI to strengthen its partnership with publishers by helping them monetize their products and services seamlessly, are likely to have boosted display advertising revenue growth.

One of the solutions that is expected to have extensively contributed to Perion Network’s display advertising revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is Smart Optimization of Responsive Traits (SORT). SORT is a proprietary cookie-free technology that delivers greater ROAS for customers than third-party cookies.

SORT is a technology outcome of the company’s investment in developing its intelligent hub, which has been driving the company’s diversification strategy and increasing operational efficiency.

Perion Network’s performance is likely to have gained from its continued investments to build its central intelligent hub, which aids in connecting all assets and demand and supply data regarding it in one single database that, in turn, increases operational efficiency. This is expected to get reflected in the company’s EBITDA numbers in the to-be-reported quarter.

PERI’s third-quarter 2022 performance is expected to have benefited from its multi-year contract with Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) , which is likely to end in 2024.

Perion Networks is currently leveraging its partnership with Microsoft Bing into other parts of Microsoft advertising to aid in its revenue diversification strategy.
