Digital Turbine Reports Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Financial Results
Third Quarter Revenue Totaled $375.5 Million, Representing Year-over-Year Growth of 324% on an As-Reported Basis and Year-over-Year Growth of 38% on a Pro Forma Basis
Strong Top-Line Growth and Operating Leverage Continue to Drive Significant Profitability Growth and Free Cash Flow Generation
Integrated End-to-End Platform Positioned to Address Greatly Expanded Market Opportunity
Austin, TX – February 8, 2022 – Digital Turbine, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPS) announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2021. The Company completed the acquisitions of AdColony Holdings AS and Fyber N.V. on April 29 and May 25, 2021, respectively. Specific references made to “pro forma” results in this release provide investors with quarterly results and comparisons as if all acquired businesses were owned for the entirety of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company believes that pro forma results, where applicable, can provide investors with more relevant year-over-year comparisons. The reconciliations between the pro forma and GAAP financial results for the relevant periods are provided in the tables following the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.
Recent Financial Highlights:
Fiscal third quarter of 2022 revenue totaled $375.5 million, representing a 324% increase year-over-year on an as-reported basis and a 38% increase year-over-year as compared to the comparable pro forma figure for the fiscal third quarter of 2021.
GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2022, inclusive of a $18.2 million fair value adjustment to the contingent acquisition-related earn-outs, was $7.1 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to GAAP net income of $14.5 million, or $0.15 per share for the fiscal third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the fiscal third quarter of 2022 was $50.9 million, or $0.49 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $20.0 million, or $0.21 per share, in the fiscal third quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the fiscal third quarter of 2022 was $57.0 million, representing growth of 153% as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2021.
“Very few companies can walk and chew gum at the same time,” said Bill Stone, CEO. “We made material progress on our integration strategy in the December quarter, while simultaneously delivering record financial results. Many companies experience difficulties in the present with their execution, because they are overly focused on building the future, or vice versa. I’m proud of our team’s hustle and ability to do both. Integration for the future and execution in the present are becoming core competencies of Digital Turbine.”
“Top-line growth of 324% and 38%, on an as-reported basis and pro forma basis, respectively, is certainly a great result, but I am even more encouraged by the continued operating leverage exhibited by the business model. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of more than $57 million during the December quarter increased by 153% on a year-over-year basis, and Non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.49 during the December quarter increased by 133% on a year-over-year basis.”

Mr. Stone concluded, “Calendar 2021 was a pivotal year for Digital Turbine, during which we strategically re-positioned the Company to leverage its inherent on-device competitive advantages to more effectively capitalize on a significantly expanded market opportunity in calendar 2022 and beyond. We are already seeing both revenue and cost synergies from our acquisitions bearing fruit and it is early days. Our strategy is winning in the marketplace. I am grateful for the hard work and shared dedication exhibited by all of Digital Turbine’s employees, O&O partners and platform advertisers."
Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $375.5 million. Total “On-Device Media” revenue, which represents revenue derived from the Company’s Application Media and Content Media platform products before intercompany eliminations, increased 43% year-over-year to $133.6 million. Before intercompany eliminations, total revenue from our two “In-App Media” segments, which represents revenue derived from the Fyber and AdColony businesses, increased 40% year-over-year on a pro forma basis to $251.7 million. Fyber contributed $157.4 million during the quarter, while AdColony contributed $94.3 million during the quarter.
GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2022, inclusive of a $18.2 million fair value adjustment to the contingent acquisition-related earn-outs, was $7.1 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to GAAP net income of $14.5 million, or $0.15 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $50.9 million, or $0.49 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $20.0 million, or $0.21 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $57.0 million, representing an increase of 153% year-over-year when compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods are provided in the tables immediately following the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.
Business Outlook
Based on information available as of February 8, 2022, the Company currently expects the following for the full-year fiscal 2022 period:
Revenue of between $1.225 billion and $1.240 billion
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of between $195 million and $197 million
Non-GAAP adjusted EPS1 of between $1.66 and $1.68, based on approximately 105 million diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 20% on non-GAAP net income in the fiscal fourth quarter
It is not reasonably practicable to provide a business outlook for GAAP net income because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the changes in stock-based compensation expense, which is directly impacted by changes in the Company’s stock price, any adjustment to the contingent earn-out provisions, which will continue to be adjusted to fair value through the end of the earn-out periods, or other items that are difficult to predict with precision.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net income and earnings per share (“EPS”) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.
Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results. The Company believes non-GAAP measures facilitate management's internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

1Non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS are defined as GAAP net income and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, adjustments in the fair value of earn-out liabilities associated with acquisitions, and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS should not be construed as an alternative to comparable GAAP net income figures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
2Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net income excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: net interest income/(expense), adjustments in the fair value of earn-out liabilities associated with acquisitions, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, foreign exchange, transaction gains/(losses), and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance. They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company’s financial performance before non-cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business.
