NEW YORK – February 26, 2026 – DoubleVerify ("DV") (NYSE: DV), the leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"2025 was a year of meaningful innovation and continued growth for DoubleVerify, as we executed on one of the most strategically important product roadmaps in our history and delivered strong financial results," said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. "We grew revenue 14% year-over-year to $748 million, exceeding our initial 10% growth outlook for the year, and delivered double-digit growth across Activation, Measurement and Supply-Side. We measured a record 9.5 trillion billable media transactions, up 15% year-over-year, reflecting our continued expansion across every major digital advertising environment, format, and device. Importantly, we continued to onboard large global enterprise customers, strengthening our position as a trusted partner to the world's leading brands.

"As we enter 2026, the catalysts that will drive our future growth are in-market and scaling well. Social and Streaming TV innovations and advanced solutions addressing the growing impact of AI traffic and agentic buying are driving further market differentiation and delivering a revenue mix that is increasingly aligned with the fastest-growing areas of digital advertising. And, opportunities in the emerging market of AI Chatbot advertising continue to expand our potential TAM. With strong customer retention, a more diversified growth profile and expanding market share, we are well positioned to drive durable growth, stronger profitability, and long-term shareholder value, a conviction reinforced by the Board's approval of our largest share repurchase authorization to date."

"We delivered strong profitability and cash generation in the fourth quarter and throughout 2025, highlighting the durability and operating leverage of our model," said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. "Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 38% in the fourth quarter and 33% for the full year, while operating cash flow increased by approximately one-third to $211 million representing a free cash flow conversion of 70% for the full year. With a strong balance sheet, no debt, and significant financial flexibility, we are executing a disciplined capital allocation strategy, investing in growth while returning capital to shareholders. Our full year 2026 guidance of 8% to 10% year-over-year revenue increase and 34% adjusted EBITDA margin outlines another year of top line growth coupled with expanding profitability."

#### First Quarter and Full-Year 2026 Guidance:
DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:

#### First Quarter 2026:
● Revenue in the range of $177 and $183 million, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 9% at the midpoint.

● Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $48 and $52 million, representing a margin of approximately 28% at the midpoint.

------

#### Full Year 2026:
● Revenue in the range of $810 million and $826 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 8% to 10%.

● Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 34%.

● 2026 equity grant value projected to decrease by over 40% as compared to 2025, resulting in a projected year-over-year reduction in stock-based compensation.

With respect to the Company's expectations under "First Quarter and Full Year 2026 Guidance" above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measure net income in this press release because the Company does not provide guidance for depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, interest income, and income taxes on a consistent basis as the Company is unable to quantify these amounts without unreasonable efforts, which would be required to include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

#### Conference Call, Webcast, and Other Information
DoubleVerify will host a conference call and live webcast to discuss its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, February 26, 2026.

#### Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Net income, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion (collectively "Non-GAAP Financial Measures") are useful in evaluating our business.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. We calculate Non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation and certain other items that are not related to our core operations, such as amortization of acquired intangibles assets, acquisition-related costs, other non-recurring costs, as well as the income tax effect of these adjustments. Basic non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by the number of weighted-average common stock outstanding. Diluted Non-GAAP earnings per share adjusts the Basic Non-GAAP earnings per share for the potential dilutive impact of shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP less purchases of property, plant, and equipment which includes capitalized software development costs. Free cash flow conversion is calculated as free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the same period. We use the Non-GAAP Financial Measures as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results on a consistent basis by either excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance or by measuring cash generated by our operations that is available for various strategic initiatives.

The following tables show the Company's non-GAAP financial metrics reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial metrics included in this release. In addition, DoubleVerify posted historical quarterly financial information for Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025 on the investor relations portion of its website.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) M&A and restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 consist of third party professional service costs related to the acquisition of Rockerbox and to our broader acquisition strategy. M&A and restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 consist of transaction costs related to the agreement to acquire Rockerbox.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Offering and secondary offering costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 consist of third-party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Other costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 consist of expenses incurred with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course and costs related to the early termination of an office lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Other (income) expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 consists of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) We calculate the income tax effect of the adjustments using a non-GAAP effective tax rate to provide consistency across reporting periods. For the non-GAAP reconciliation, effective tax rates for the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were calculated using assumed blended tax rates of 31% and 26%, respectively. These rates represent a blend of the statutory federal tax and state taxes rates associated with the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. We will periodically reevaluate this tax rate, as necessary, for significant events such as relevant tax law changes.

These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

● they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

● they do not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

● they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;

● they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and

● although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and they do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the Non-GAAP Financial Measures only supplementally.
