Comscore Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results RESTON, Va., August 6, 2024 Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Q2 2024 Financial Highlights
Revenue for the second quarter was $85.8 million compared to $93.7 million in Q2 2023
Net loss of $1.7 million compared to $44.9 million in Q2 2023; prior period included a goodwill impairment charge of $44.1 million and restructuring costs of $4.1 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $6.9 million compared to $8.9 million in Q2 2023
Revising full-year guidance
While the second quarter fell short of our expectations, we remain confident that the direction were taking the company one that is focused on delivering omnichannel measurement solutions to address the growing gaps in todays measurement offerings is the right one, said Jon Carpenter, CEO of Comscore. The revision to our full-year estimates reflects the pace with which our turnaround is happening, not our confidence in the strategic direction weve taken. As we head into the back half of the year, our Proximic offerings are scaling rapidly and were seeing agencies and brands leaning into our cross-platform measurement solutions, validating the opportunity in front of us. Were committed to a return to growth, completing this turnaround and delivering the results that our stakeholders expect.
Second Quarter Summary Results
Revenue in the second quarter was $85.8 million, down 8.4% from $93.7 million in Q2 2023. Content & Ad Measurement revenue declined 6.7% from Q2 2023 mainly due to lower revenue from our syndicated audience offerings, primarily related to national TV and syndicated digital products. Research & Insight Solutions revenue declined 16.5% from Q2 2023, primarily due to lower deliveries of custom digital products.
Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $86.5 million, a decrease of 6.1% compared to $92.1 million in Q2 2023, primarily due to a decline in employee compensation as a result of our restructuring efforts and lower cloud computing costs .
Net loss was $1.7 million in Q2 2024, compared to $44.9 million in Q2 2023, resulting in net loss margins of 2.0% and 47.9% of revenue, respectively. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(1.19) and $(10.21) for Q2 2024 and Q2 2023, respectively.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $6.9 million, compared to $8.9 million in Q2 2023, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 8.1% and 9.6%, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency transactions, FX adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $7.2 million, compared to $9.1 million in Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, amortization of cloud-computing implementation costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration and warrants liability, transformation costs (added in Q3 2023 and applied to prior periods), impairment of goodwill and other items as presented in the accompanying tables. FX adjusted EBITDA excludes these items as well as gain/loss from foreign currency transactions.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $14.8 million. Total debt principal, including $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit agreement, was $22.0 million.
2024 Outlook
Based on current trends and expectations, we are revising our guidance for full-year 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA, now expecting to end the year with revenue between $350 and $360 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 10%. We anticipate that our syndicated audience revenue will continue to be impacted by the challenges the legacy media channels are experiencing, and that demand for custom digital products will continue to be unpredictable due to the macroeconomic environment. As a result, we expect revenue in the third quarter of 2024 to be down 4% to 6% from Q3 2023. However, we do expect the declines to moderate towards year-end as revenue from our Proximic and CCR products ramps. We anticipate a return to growth in 2025 with continued investment in these products.
We do not provide GAAP net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty our future stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments, variable interest expense, litigation and restructuring expense and any unusual gains or losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we are unable without unreasonable effort to provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) margin, on a forward-looking basis.
