PubMatic sees Q1 revenue $61M-$63M, consensus $66.2M

Sees Q1 adjusted EBITDA $5M-$7M. “In 2024, we delivered record share of revenue for CTV, mobile app and emerging revenues, and achieved an all-time high of Supply Path Optimization activity. We also significantly expanded our margins, once again, demonstrating the strength of our durable model and our strategic commitment to steward both operational excellence and targeted investments for growth,” said Steve Pantelick, CFO at PubMatic (PUBM). “In Q4, strong growth in the underlying business helped offset softer spending from the large DSP buyer we previously called out mid year. Going forward, we are taking a conservative approach as it relates to this buyer, and expect total revenues to grow year over year in the second half of the year once we lap this impact at the end of Q2 2025. Our underlying business, which excludes revenue from this DSP and political, is targeted to grow 15%+ and represent over two thirds of total company revenues in 2025.”
