DoubleVerify delivered Q2 revenue of $193.8 million, a 3% year-over-year increase, alongside net income of $12.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $65.3 million—a 34% margin. The balance sheet remains robust with $210 million in cash and no debt. These results, however, are overshadowed by the same-day announcement that Nielsen will acquire DoubleVerify for $13.60 per share in cash, a 30% premium. In light of the pending deal, management suspended all future earnings calls and withdrew prior financial guidance, making this the last standalone quarterly update before the acquisition closes.
