Key Factors to Consider     

Perion Network is expected to have benefited from an expanding customer reach aided by AI-driven ads in the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, Search segment revenues improved sequentially in the second quarter, a trend that most likely continued in the third quarter owing to strong relationships with clients like Microsoft’s MSFT Bing.

Further, the company’s portfolio strength and offerings, driven by expanding partner base, are expected to have boosted the top line in the third quarter. For instance, Perion’s Digital Branding division, Undertone’s partnership with TV data and measurement company, Alphonson has helped the former to grow its Synchronized Digital Branding advertising solution pipeline by approximately $5 million in just a month since the deal in July.

Further, the company expects an increase in adjusted EBITDA owing to strong partnership and new product collaboration with Microsoft.

Key Q3 Developments

On Sep 26, Perion’s digital branding division, Undertone along with Associated Press secured funding from Regions Bank for AP Top 25 poll, the longest-running college football poll. Undertone's digital advertising expertise, creativity and technology will provide high-impact digital ads of Regions Bank across hundreds of quality publisher sites and apps.

Perion’s digital ad tech subsidiary, MakemeReach announced its partnership with Pinterest on Sep 23. This partnership is aimed at broadening of MakemeReach’s digital advertising ecosystem.
