Financial Guidance

· Reaffirming full year 2024 Contribution ex-TAC in a range of
approximately $340 - $345 million
· Raising full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to approximately $107 million

· Reaffirming full year 2024 programmatic revenue to reflect
approximately 90% of full year 2024 revenue
o Management expects the Company to increase its technology, data, AI and
Generative AI investments in Q4 2024 and full year 2025 to further its
platform and data advantages.
Operational Highlights
· Launched strategic automatic content recognition ("ACR") data
partnership with The Trade Desk, expanding the Company's data licensing
revenue opportunities and sales channels.
· Named a preferred data platform partner for Kinective Media by United
Airlines, enabling Nexxen's advertiser clients to tap into premium first party
data from United's customers and MileagePlus loyalty program members to layer
insights onto campaigns, and Tinuiti has been an early adopter.
· Released data-driven solutions catered to political advertiser
clients which fueled increased audience reach and deeper campaign insights for
customers around the 2024 U.S. election cycle, while helping drive what the
Company believes will reflect record annual political Contribution ex-TAC for
Nexxen.
· Added an all-time high 138 new actively-spending first-time
advertiser customers in Q3 2024 across travel, political and other verticals,
inclusive of 31 new enterprise self-service advertiser customers and two new
independent agencies leveraging the Company's self-service software solutions.
· Onboarded 61 new supply partners across several verticals and formats
including CTV, mobile app, gaming, display, audio and online video in Q3 2024.
Share Repurchase Program Updates
o Nexxen (and its subsidiaries) repurchased 5,089,680 Ordinary shares during
Q3 2024 at an average price of 275.87 pence, reflecting a total investment of
£14.1 million or $18.3 million.
o From March 1, 2022, through September 30, 2024, the Company (and its
subsidiaries) repurchased 33,415,495 Ordinary shares, or 21.6% of shares
outstanding, reflecting a total investment of £110.2 million or $137.2
million.
o The Company received approval to launch a new $50 million Ordinary Share
repurchase program which is expected to begin on November 19, 2024 and
continue until May 19, 2025 or completion. The impending program does not
obligate Nexxen to repurchase any particular amount of Ordinary Shares and the
program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the
Company's discretion (if not in a close period), subject to applicable law.
The Company's previous Ordinary Share repurchase program expired on November
1, 2024.
o Nexxen's Board of Directors intends to continue evaluating the potential
for implementing additional share repurchase programs upon completion of the
impending program, subject to then current market conditions and necessary
approvals.
Annual General Meeting ("AGM") Update: Nexxen ADR to Ordinary Share Exchange,
Reverse Share Split and AIM Delisting to be Voted on by Shareholders
o Nexxen's Board of Directors approved submission of several trading
structure changes to a shareholder vote at the Company's upcoming AGM taking
place on December 20, 2024. If approved by shareholders, the Company intends
to exchange its Nasdaq-listed ADRs to Nasdaq-listed Ordinary Shares and
terminate the ADR facility, conduct a reverse share split at a two-for-one
ratio which will allow for a one-to-one exchange for ADRs into Ordinary Shares
and delist from the AIM.
o The Company and its Board of Directors believe this updated trading
structure can benefit Nexxen and its shareholders over the long term for
several reasons including increasing the potential to attract U.S. investors,
reducing the complexity of the Company's reporting and regulatory compliance
structure, consolidating and increasing liquidity, possible inclusion in major
indices which the Company's shares are precluded from due to its current
structure, better aligning the Company's stock with other U.S.-listed AdTech
companies, reducing price volatility that can result from a dual-listing and
cost savings.
o The AGM circular provides greater detailed information on this proposal,
the timing of the proposed changes and its effect on trading for the Company's
U.S. and U.K. investors.
o The Company intends to host calls with both U.S. and U.K. investors and
analysts ahead of the upcoming AGM to provide greater details on the proposed
changes, timing of those changes and its strategic rationale.
Change to Board of Directors
o Nexxen announces that Executive Director Yaniv Carmi, a Director since
2014, is stepping down from the Company's Board of Directors ("Board")
effective November 15, 2024, thereby reducing the size of the Board from nine
members to eight members. Mr. Carmi will continue to serve as Nexxen's Chief
Operating Officer.
o The Sustainability, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the
"Committee") has determined that the smaller eight-member Board, consisting of
one Executive Director and seven Non-Executive Directors, will be more
flexible and efficient to support the ongoing needs of the business and that
the reduced Board size and composition is in line with Board composition
practices of similar sized companies traded on the Nasdaq and AIM.
o The Committee further determined that Mr. Carmi stepping down from the
Board (but remaining Chief Operating Officer) is in line with best practices
of Nasdaq-listed companies similar to Nexxen, where the Chief Operating
Officer does not serve as a Director.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Information
In addition to our IFRS results, we review certain non-IFRS financial measures
to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends
affecting our business, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of
investments in our technology and development and sales and marketing, and
assess our operational efficiencies. These non-IFRS measures include
Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net
Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per share, each of which is discussed below.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not intended to be considered in
isolation from, as substitutes for, or as superior to the corresponding
financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to
evaluate these adjustments and review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS
financial measures to their most comparable IFRS measures and the reasons we
consider them appropriate. It is important to note that the particular items
we exclude from, or include in, our non-IFRS financial measures may differ
from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-IFRS financial
measures used by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Revenue to
Contribution ex-TAC," "Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to
Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net
Income," included as part of this press release.
o Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for Nexxen is defined as gross
profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue and
cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) minus the
Performance media cost ("traffic acquisition costs" or "TAC"). Performance
media cost represents the costs of purchases of impressions from publishers on
a cost-per-thousand impression basis in our non-core Performance activities.
Contribution ex-TAC is a supplemental measure of our financial performance
that is not required by or presented in accordance with IFRS. Contribution
ex-TAC should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit as a measure
of financial performance. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-IFRS financial measure
and should not be viewed in isolation. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a
useful measure in assessing the performance of Nexxen, because it facilitates
a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the
impact of traffic acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross
basis.
o Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for Nexxen as total comprehensive
income (loss) for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation
differences for foreign operations, foreign currency translation for
subsidiary sold reclassified to profit and loss, financial expenses, net, tax
expenses (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation
expenses, acquisition related costs, restructuring and other expenses, net.
Adjusted EBITDA is included in the press release because it is a key metric
used by management and our Board of Directors to assess our financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and
other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating
performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate
directly to the performance of the underlying business.
o Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA
on a Contribution ex-TAC basis.
o Non-IFRS Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings
per share as non-IFRS income divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares
outstanding. Non-IFRS income is equal to net income (loss) excluding
acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring,
other expenses, net and amortization of acquired intangible assets, and also
considers the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments. In periods in which we have
non-IFRS income, non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding used to
calculate non-IFRS earnings per share includes the impact of potentially
dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units,
each computed using the treasury stock method. We believe non-IFRS earnings
per share is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operational
performance and our trends on a per share basis and also facilitates
comparison of our financial results on a per share basis with other companies,
many of which present a similar non-IFRS measure. However, a potential
limitation of our use of non-IFRS earnings per share is that other companies
may define non-IFRS earnings per share differently, which may make comparison
difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that may have a material
impact on our reported financial results. Non-IFRS earnings per share is a
performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Because
of these limitations, we also consider the comparable IFRS measure of net
income.
We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS financial
metrics because reconciling information is not available without an
unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make assumptions that cannot
reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding
IFRS metric.
