Delivered 11% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth to $188.6 Million and 35% Adjusted EBITDA Margins reaching $65.9 Million
Raised Full-Year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to approximately 33%
DoubleVerify (“DV”) (NYSE: DV), the leading software platform for digital media measurement, data, and analytics, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“We delivered 11% year-over-year growth in the third quarter, reflecting disciplined execution and continued progress across our key growth initiatives, while delivering stronger quarterly margins as we leverage AI to drive efficiencies in our model,” said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. “We’re innovating at speed for the AI era, launching DV AI Verification to enhance transparency, performance, and protection for advertisers while also leveraging AI to make our core solutions even more powerful. In Social, our new DV Authentic Advantage solution is gaining early traction with leading global brands, underscoring demand for transparent, performance-driven tools in walled gardens. The launch of our Verified Streaming TV solution extends our leadership with new pre-bid and measurement capabilities that root out misaligned CTV placements, automated Do Not Air Lists that will drive greater efficiency in program-level exclusions, and our recently announced IMDb data integration that will deliver deeper, show-level transparency to improve campaign performance. Together, these innovations reinforce DV’s position as the independent standard for trust and transparency across all digital media. As AI reshapes how media is bought, measured, and optimized, and social and CTV take a commanding share of ad budgets, our trusted, independent platform remains essential to helping advertisers drive performance and accountability in an increasingly complex ecosystem.”

These innovations help advertisers ensure their campaigns run in premium, TV-like environments and automate brand-safety enforcement across streaming platforms.
Expanded Coverage and Partnerships
- Expanded AI-powered brand suitability measurement coverage across Meta Threads, bringing independent third-party verification to Meta’s newest platform and enabling advertisers to evaluate contextual relevance, safeguard brand equity, and improve campaign effectiveness.
- Significantly expanded content-level avoidance across Meta’s Facebook and Instagram Feeds and Reels, nearly doubling DV’s ability to filter content on behalf of advertisers' suitability preferences across categories and markets to better protect brand equity.

By integrating unique IMDb data, including Parents Guides, Meters, and Ratings, DoubleVerify will deliver more granular, precise suitability insights that help improve media quality and performance for global brands.
- Expanded collaboration with Roku to strengthen transparency and performance in streaming TV, blocking billions of fraudulent ad requests that mimicked Roku device traffic and delivered a substantial reduction in falsified impressions across the ecosystem. The partnership leverages Roku’s Advertising Watermark and DV’s Fraud Lab technology to authenticate inventory and combat device spoofing at scale, enhancing trust and accountability for advertisers.
Programmatic Expansions & Supply-Side Partnerships
- Expanded integration with Microsoft Advertising, integrating DV measurement to Microsoft’s owned and across Microsoft properties, such as MSN, Outlook, and Microsoft Casual Games, while launching DV Campaign Automator™ to streamline trafficking workflows and enhance campaign performance.
- Continued to drive supply-side growth with new platform and publisher partnerships, including AMC, Univision, Rumble, Wiley, and Rakuten’s Viber.
Share Repurchase Program
- Repurchased 3.3 million shares for $50.1 million in the third quarter, bringing total repurchases to 8.4 million shares for $132.3 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2025, inclusive of broker commissions. As of November 7, 2025, $90.0 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under the New Repurchase Program.
“Our third-quarter results reflect double-digit growth, strong profitability, and continued operating leverage,” said Nicola Allais, CFO of DoubleVerify. “We delivered adjusted EBITDA of $66 million, or a 35% margin, exceeding the high end of our guidance range as we continue to scale efficiently through AI-driven automation and disciplined cost management. For full-year 2025, we expect approximately 14% revenue growth and are raising our adjusted EBITDA margin guidance from 32% to 33%, highlighting the strength and scalability of our model.”
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Guidance:
DoubleVerify anticipates Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:
Fourth Quarter 2025:
- Revenue in the range of $207 and $211 million, a year-over-year increase of 10% at the midpoint.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $77 and $81 million, representing a 38% margin at the midpoint.
Full Year 2025:
- Revenue growth of approximately 14%.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 33%.
With respect to the Company’s expectations under "Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 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 third quarter 2025 financial results at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today, November 7, 2025. To access the conference call, dial (800) 715-9871 for the U.S. or Canada, or +1 (646) 307-1963 for international callers. The conference ID is 5064608. The webcast will be available live on the Investors section of the Company’s website at https://ir.doubleverify.com/. An archived webcast will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the live event.
In addition, DoubleVerify plans to post certain additional historical quarterly financial information on the investor relations portion of its website for easy access to investors.

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 and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (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 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 excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
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 plans to post historical quarterly financial information for Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share for the fiscal year 2024 on the investor relations portion of its website.

(a) |
|
M&A and restructuring costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 consist of third party professional service costs related to the acquisition of Rockerbox and to our broader acquisition strategy. |
(b) |
|
Offering and secondary offering costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consist of third party costs incurred for underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of the Company. |
(c) |
|
Other costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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. |
(d) |
|
Other expense (income) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 consist of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. |
(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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.
