Digital revenue trends are improving. On December 4, Stu Rosenstein, CFO, presented at NobleCon20 at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Florida, to the investment community.

Moving towards enhanced growth. We believe that the company’s strategic focus on developing a subscription model will accelerate revenue and cash flow growth in 2025 and beyond. We anticipate that even a modest 1% penetration of its 30+ million members will accelerate 2025 revenue and cash flow growth to 12% and roughly 15%, respectively. 

Providing revenue and cash flow stability. The subscription model is being launched Jan. 1, 2025 and is expected to offer a ballast to the company’s more cyclical advertising driven model. Notably, the company is not expected to abandon its 30 million plus members, but simply migrate a portion of those members to annual subscriptions, largely as those members seek to take advantage of the travel “deals”.

Weak Q3 Results, likely the trough. Q3 revenues declined 85% to $9.1 million, with a decline in both its Buy-side and Sell-side businesses, down 12% and 96%, respectively. Adj. EBITDA was a negative $2.8 million. Management blamed the weak fundamentals on a business disruption caused by a “false and disproven” blog post by Adalytics, which it sued for defamation. Notably, the Q3 results puts the company back on track on its financial reporting under its new auditor BDO. 

Guidance anticipates a strong revenue rebuild. Management anticipates rebound in revenues as one of its largest clients rebuilds volume. We expect strong sequential Q4 revenue to $14.5 million, up from $9.1 million in Q3. Full year 2024 revenue is expected to be $67.7 million, with full year 2024 adj. EBITDA loss of $8.6 million. Management anticipates strong full year 2025 revenue growth to a range of $90 million to $110 million.

In line quarter. Total company revenues of $115.3 million was roughly flat with the year earlier period and in line with our $115.0 million estimate. Q3 adj. EBITDA was $25.5 million versus our $26.5 million estimate. Notably, the results were in line with the company’s previous guidance.

The revenue improvement was led by its Ignite business (up 4.7%) and a significant moderation in the revenue decline at Townsquare Ignite (down 5.8%, much better than down 12.9% in Q2). Management indicated that Ignite’s Q4 revenue growth should triple to near 15% and Interactive should swing positive.

Steady as she goes. Third quarter results were in line with our estimates, with revenue of $20.1 million (down 2.4% year over year), versus our estimate of $20.9 million. Adj. EBITDA was $4.6 million (up 19.3% year over year), better than our estimate of $3.8 million by almost 21% due to lower than expected sales & marketing expenses.

Swing toward revenue growth. Advertising revenue was down slightly to $19.7 million from $20.0 million in Q2, with membership revenue up from $1.2 million in Q2 to $1.4 million in Q3. The membership revenue increase reflected improved subscriptions with Jack’s Flight Club, which was expanded into Canada.

Direct Digital Holdings (DRCT) – A Pretty Big Reset

Getting back on track. The company made a substantial step forward by becoming current on its filings. On Tuesday, October 15th, it reported full year 2023, first quarter 2024, and second quarter 2024 results. The delay in its filings was due to the resignation of the company’s previous auditor, Marcum.

Issues unrelated to the audit. During the first half of the year, the company’s Sell-side revenue was disrupted when its largest client paused service, which coincided with a lawsuit with an activist shareholder. The client subsequently reconnected to the company’s SSP, but volumes have not yet fully recovered. This severely disrupted Q2 results and appears will have a lingering effect for the balance of the year.

Favorable outlook. With Q2 nearly finished, Mr. Wilson highlighted the company is on track to hit Q2 guidance, experience sequential revenue growth over Q1, and expectation to hit full year revenue and adj. EBITDA guidance. Notably, we anticipate the company will gain positive momentum and experience sequential growth in the back half of the year, as high margin political revenue kicks in.

Solid Q1 results. The company reported revenue of $99.6 million, modestly beating our estimate of $98.4 million by 1.3%. Adj. EBITDA in the quarter was $17.5 million, beating our estimate of $16.4 million by 6.8%. The quarter benefited from a swing toward growth in digital advertising (up 1.3%) and better than expected core broadcast advertising. Notably, Digital now accounts for 53% of total company revenues and cash flow, at least double that of its peers.

Interactive subs increase in March. The company added net subscribers in March, which continued in April, indicating that this business is on track to return toward revenue growth, likely in Q1 2025. Furthermore, Revenue Per Unit (RPU) for new sales appear to be increasing. We believe that new features such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Text and Email marketing, and integration into QuickBooks, all contribute to an enhanced revenue outlook.

Mixed Q1 Results. The company reported Q1 revenue of $22.0 million, a modest 1.8% increase over the year earlier results and a significant sequential deceleration from 13.7% in the previous quarter. Adj. EBITDA in the latest quarter was $6.1 million, beating our estimate of $5.8 million by 5.0%, a result of lower marketing spend. 

A year of transition.  In January the company switched to a paid subscription, all new members pay a $40 annual fee, while members who joined prior to January 2024 do not pay a subscription fee until January 2025. Notably, the company plans to increase marketing spend in the coming quarters as it aims to grow the number of paid members, a development we view favorably.
