DOUBLEVERIFY HOLDINGS INC

We are one of the industry’s leading media effectiveness platforms that leverages artificial intelligence ("AI") to drive superior outcomes for global brands. By creating more effective, transparent ad transactions, we make the digital advertising ecosystem stronger, safer and more secure, thereby preserving the fair value exchange between buyers and sellers of digital media. As the global digital advertising market has evolved, we have continued to expand our capabilities since our founding in 2008 through new product innovation and partnerships across emerging programmatic media buying platforms and digital media channels, including social and CTV.

The advertising industry continues to experience an expanding array of digital channels and platforms. Aggregating self-reported data from a large number of publishers, social channels and programmatic platforms across an advertiser’s digital ad spend makes it difficult for the advertiser to form an accurate, unbiased view of how and where its ad budget is spent and the effectiveness of that spend. As ad fraud has proliferated across the Internet and other digital channels and advertisers provide even greater focus on finding content that is aligned with their brand strategy, advertisers are utilizing independent, third-party solutions to protect their brand equity and optimize the performance of their digital media investments.

Our technology addresses advertiser needs by providing unbiased data analytics that enable advertisers to increase the effectiveness, quality and return on their digital advertising investments while maintaining transparency and accountability. Our proprietary DV Authentic Ad metric is our definitive metric of digital media quality, which measures whether a digital ad is displayed in a fraud-free, brand-suitable environment and is fully viewable in the intended geography. Our solutions deliver this metric to our customers in real time, allowing them to access critical performance data on their digital ads. Customers then leverage our data analytics to improve the efficiency of their digital advertising investments by avoiding wasted media spend on blocked or fraudulent ads and to optimize their media strategies in real time by verifying their highest performing ads and content.

Our solutions are integrated across the entire digital advertising ecosystem, including programmatic platforms, social media channels and digital publishers. We deliver unique data analytics through our customer interface, DV Pinnacle, to provide detailed insights into our customers’ media performance on both direct and programmatic media buying platforms and across all key digital media channels (including social, video, mobile in-app and connected TV ("CTV")), formats (including display and video) and devices (including mobile, desktop and connected televisions). We collected and analyzed data points on the approximately 9.5 trillion Media Transactions Measured (as defined below) by us in 2025, up from 8.3 trillion Media Transactions Measured in 2024 and 7.0 trillion in 2023. We also analyze more than 23 billion digital ad transactions daily, measuring whether ads are delivered in a fraud-free, brand-suitable environment and are fully viewable in the intended geography. Our solutions and unique position in the advertising ecosystem allow us to develop a significant data asset that accumulates over time as we measure an increasing number of media transactions. We are able to leverage our data asset across our existing solutions as well as expand the data asset to launch new solutions that address the evolving needs of advertisers.
