RESTON, Va., March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comscore, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue for 2023 was $371.3 million compared to $376.4 million in 2022
Net loss of $79.4 million compared to $66.6 million in 2022, resulting primarily from non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $78.2 million and $46.3 million, respectively
Adjusted EBITDA of $44.0 million compared to $37.5 million in 2022
FX adjusted EBITDA of $46.9 million compared to $36.3 million in 2022

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $95.1 million compared to $98.2 million in Q4 2022
Net loss of $28.4 million compared to net income of $0.1 million in Q4 2022, resulting primarily from a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $34.1 million in Q4 2023
Adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million compared to $12.0 million in Q4 2022
FX adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million compared to $16.6 million in Q4 2022

2024 Financial Outlook

Full year revenue expected to be between $375 million and $390 million
Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to be between 12% and 15% for the year

"As we reflect on 2023, there is a lot to be proud of. While we fell short of our top line revenue goals for the year, we made substantial progress on changing the way we operate, which allowed us to achieve our adjusted EBITDA goals. I appreciate the hard work our employees have done to deliver for our stakeholders throughout the year," said Jon Carpenter, CEO of Comscore. "As we begin 2024, I remain confident that we are moving the business in the right direction as we execute on our turnaround. We're focused on providing the fast and accurate cross-platform data that helps our clients buy, sell and optimize media more effectively. Our double-digit growth in local TV, coupled with accelerated growth of our Comscore Campaign Ratings (CCR) product and our Proximic offerings - a combined 34% over 2022 - are clear signs that the value we're able to offer to a rapidly changing advertising ecosystem is meeting a large and growing need. I look forward to what's ahead and am committed to delivering for both our clients and our shareholders in 2024."

Fourth Quarter Summary Results

Revenue in the fourth quarter was $95.1 million, down 3.2% from $98.2 million in Q4 2022, primarily driven by a decline in Cross Platform Solutions revenue from lower renewals of our national TV offering, partially offset by growth in our movies business. Digital Ad Solutions revenue was flat compared to the prior year, with declines in deliveries of certain custom digital products offset by an increase in Activation (Proximic) and CCR revenue, which on a combined basis delivered growth of over 50% compared to Q4 2022.

Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $83.9 million, down 4.5% compared to $87.9 million in Q4 2022, primarily due to a decline in employee compensation as a result of our restructuring efforts, lower variable compensation and a higher amount of capitalization related to internally developed software as we increased our focus on product infrastructure and innovation in 2023.

Net loss for the quarter was $28.4 million, compared to net income of $0.1 million in Q4 2022, resulting in net (loss) income margins of (29.9)% and 0.1% of revenue, respectively. Included in net loss for Q4 2023 was a non-cash impairment charge of $34.1 million related to goodwill. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(6.69), compared to loss per share of $(0.80) in Q4 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $16.4 million, compared to $12.0 million in Q4 2022, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 17.3% and 12.2%, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency transactions, FX adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $18.7 million, compared to $16.6 million in Q4 2022. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of cloud-computing implementation costs, restructuring costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration and warrants liability, impairment of goodwill, impairment of right-of-use and long-lived assets, transformation costs (added in Q3 2023 and applied to prior periods), and other items as presented in the accompanying tables. FX adjusted EBITDA excludes these items as well as gain/loss from foreign currency transactions.

Full-Year Summary Results

Revenue for 2023 was $371.3 million, down 1.3% compared to $376.4 million in 2022. Digital Ad Solutions revenue declined 1.7% from 2022, primarily due to lower deliveries of certain custom digital products and lower revenue from our syndicated products, partially offset by increased usage of our Activation products and growth in CCR. On a combined basis, revenue from Activation and CCR grew 34% over 2022. Cross Platform Solutions revenue was down 0.9% from 2022, primarily driven by a decline in national TV revenue due to lower renewals, partially offset by double-digit growth in local TV revenue and 4% growth in our movies business over 2022 due to higher renewals and new business.

Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $353.8 million, down 4.9% compared to $371.9 million in 2022. The primary driver of the decline was employee compensation, which decreased from ongoing restructuring efforts, lower variable compensation and a higher amount of capitalization related to internally developed software.

Net loss for the year was $79.4 million, compared to $66.6 million in 2022, resulting in net loss margins of (21.4)% and (17.7)% of revenue, respectively. Included in net loss for 2023 were non-cash impairment charges of $78.2 million related to goodwill and restructuring costs of $6.2 million. Included in net loss for 2022 were a non-cash impairment charge of $46.3 million related to goodwill and restructuring costs of $5.8 million. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(19.88), compared to loss per share of $(17.71) in 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the year was $44.0 million, compared to $37.5 million in 2022, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 11.9% and 10.0%, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency transactions, FX adjusted EBITDA for 2023 was $46.9 million, compared to $36.3 million in 2022.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2023, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $22.9 million. Total debt principal, including $16.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit agreement, was $20.4 million.

2024 Outlook

Based on current trends and expectations, we believe 2024 revenue will be between $375 million and $390 million, driven by growth in Cross Platform Solutions from our local TV offering and growth in Digital Ad Solutions from our Activation and CCR products. We expect our adjusted EBITDA margin for 2024 to be between 12% and 15% as we wrap up our restructuring initiatives and invest in areas of the business that we believe have the greatest opportunity to drive revenue growth. We anticipate that our national TV revenue will continue to be impacted by the linear ad spend pressure that major networks are experiencing, and that demand for custom digital products will continue to be unpredictable due to the macroeconomic environment. As a result, we expect revenue in the first quarter of 2024 to be lower than Q1 2023, with the majority of our 2024 revenue growth occurring in the back half of the year as revenue from our Activation and CCR products continues to ramp.

We do not provide GAAP net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty our future stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments, variable interest expense, litigation and restructuring expense and any unusual gains or losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we are unable without unreasonable effort to provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) margin, on a forward-looking basis.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal and state securities laws, including, without limitation, our expectations, forecasts, plans and opinions regarding expected revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2024, growth areas, strategic and financial focus areas, economic and industry trends, value delivery to clients and shareholders, product infrastructure and innovation, and restructuring plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from expectations, including, but not limited to, changes in our business and customer, partner and vendor relationships; external market conditions and competition; changes or declines in ad spending or other macroeconomic factors; evolving privacy and regulatory standards; and our ability to achieve our expected strategic, financial and operational plans, including the restructuring plan we announced in September 2022. For additional discussion of risk factors, please refer to our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings that we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. We do not intend or undertake, and expressly disclaim, any duty or obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the date of this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we are disclosing in this press release adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and FX adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, as they permit our investors to view our core business performance using the same metrics that management uses to evaluate our performance. Nevertheless, our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider these measures alongside GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income (loss), net income (loss) margin, various cash flow metrics, and our other GAAP financial results. Set forth below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, net income (loss) and net income (loss) margin. These reconciliations should be carefully evaluated.

⁽¹⁾ Transformation costs represent expenses incurred prior to formal launch of identified strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the company. These costs generally relate to third-party consulting and non-capitalizable technology costs tied directly to the identified projects. We added transformation costs as an adjustment in 2023 for greater transparency around these costs and have applied the adjustment to prior periods for comparison.

⁽²⁾Adjustments to other (income) expense, net reflect non-cash changes in the fair value of warrants liability, financing derivatives, and interest make-whole derivative included in other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

⁽³⁾ Net loss margin is calculated by dividing net loss by revenues reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the applicable period.

⁽⁴⁾ Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the applicable period.

⁽¹⁾ Transformation costs represent expenses incurred prior to formal launch of identified strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the company. These costs generally relate to third-party consulting and non-capitalizable technology costs tied directly to the identified projects. We added transformation costs as an adjustment in 2023 for greater transparency around these costs. There were no transformation costs in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

⁽²⁾ Adjustments to other expense (income), net reflect non-cash changes in the fair value of warrants liability included in other (expense) income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

⁽³⁾ Net (loss) income margin is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by revenues reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the applicable period.

⁽⁴⁾ Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the applicable period.
