NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)

NOTE 1:GENERAL

Perion Network Ltd. ("Perion") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"), is a global technology company that provides agencies, brands and publishers with innovative solutions that cover the three main pillars of digital advertising – ad search, social media, and display/video and CTV advertising.

On January 14, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Content IQ LLC (see Note 3) and on July 22, 2020, the Company consummated the assets acquisition of Pub Ocean (see Note 3).

NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the consolidated statements of income (loss), the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, as well as the statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2021, are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In the management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2021, as well as its results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021 (the "Annual Report").

b.There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

c.Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates its estimates, including those related to sales allowances and allowance for credit losses, fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of share-based awards, realizability of deferred tax assets, tax uncertainties, and contingent liabilities, among others. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities, determination of the product (or the service) specifications, separately negotiates each revenue service agreement or publisher agreement and can have several additional indicators, revenue is recorded on a gross basis.

NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Contract balances are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as either Accounts receivable or Deferred revenues. The Company does not have contract assets.

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers.

Deferred revenues are recorded when payments are received from customers in advance of the Company's rendering of services.

d.Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2020. This standard requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings and report credit losses using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that was previously used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks.

The Company adopted Topic 326 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This guidance removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifies existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adds new disclosure requirements.

NOTE 2:SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The new disclosure requirements include disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain disclosures required by this guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The guidance was adopted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

e.Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5:GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

a.Goodwill

The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill in 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2020	$	125,809
Acquisition of Content IQ	$	23,361
Acquisition of Pub Ocean	$	3,133
Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	152,303
Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	152,303

Goodwill has been recorded as a result of prior acquisitions and represents excess of the consideration over the net fair value of the assets of the businesses acquired. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had two reporting units – Advertising and Search monetization. The Company performs tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As of June 30, 2021, the Company determined that there were no indicators of potential impairment with regards to its reporting units which required interim goodwill impairment analysis.

NOTE 6:SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On December 17, 2018, ClientConnect Ltd., a former Israeli subsidiary of Perion, which merged into Perion on June 30, 2020, executed a new loan facility, in the amount of $25,000. Proceeds of the loan facility were applied to refinancing of the existing debt as well as the debt of Undertone, a US subsidiary of Perion. ClientConnect's obligations under the facility were assumed by Perion in the context of the merger. Principal on the loan is payable in twelve equal quarterly instalments beginning March 2019 and maturing on December 31, 2021. The interest on the loan is at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 5.7% per annum, payable quarterly. The credit facility is secured by liens on the assets of Perion and Undertone and is guaranteed by Undertone. The guarantee by Undertone is limited to $33,000. Financial covenants for the loan facility are tested at the level of Perion on a consolidated basis.

On March 8, 2021, the Company early repaid the full amount of its loan facility with bank Mizrachi of a principal amount of $8,333 together with the accumulated interest up to this date as per the agreement.

NOTE 7:COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal Matters

On December 22, 2015, Adtile Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Company and Intercept Interactive Inc. (“Intercept”), a subsidiary of Interactive Holding Corp., in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges various causes of action against Perion and Undertone related to Undertone’s alleged unauthorized use and misappropriation of Adtile’s proprietary information and trade secrets. Adtile is seeking injunctive relief and, unspecified monetary damages. On June 23, 2016, the court denied Adtile’s motion for a preliminary injunction. On June 24, 2016, the court (i) granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, and (ii) granted Intercept’s motion to stay the action and compel arbitration. In November 2017, the court dismissed the case for administrative reasons, since Adtile had not commenced arbitration proceedings. The Company is still unable to predict the outcome or range of possible loss as of the date of these financial statements, since to date Adtile had not commenced arbitration procedures. Regardless, the Company believes it has strong defenses against this lawsuit and intends to defend against it vigorously.

The remainder of the change is due to a different mix of taxable income and loss between the different jurisdictions.

General

Perion is a global technology innovator in the digital advertising ecosystem, providing brands and publishers with an opportunity to unlock lucrative growth opportunities. The Company operates across the three main pillars of digital advertising: ad search, social media, and display/video/CTV, representing a potential market of more than $455 billion in 2021 that is expected to grow to $645 billion in 2024, according to eMarketer.

Through its diversified solutions portfolio, Perion is perfectly positioned to capitalize on any changes in the direction branded and e-commerce spending is headed. Each of these businesses is led by visionary and experienced leadership.

Perion’s Hub & Spoke Model

Perion created a unique framework where all its demand and supply assets are connected to a central intelligent HUB (referred to as the iHUB). We believe that this model provides 3 levels of value: operational savings – shared resources, media cost (TAC) optimization and customer value increase.

1.	Operational Savings – Shared Resources

The iHUB serves as a central function to all of Perion’s activities. By creating a shared infrastructure of an ad-server, RTB engine, data layer and reporting, Perion can save the need for each business unit to develop parts of its own infrastructure.

2.	Media Cost (TAC) Optimization

The iHUB allows our business units to quickly integrate demand and supply with each other, providing us a better utilization of our owned & operated supply to serve direct demand in a closed loop and generating higher yield. Our ability to offer each publisher and advertiser multiple ad products under one roof, improves and optimizes the return on our go-to-market efforts. We believe to have untapped cross-sell opportunities in our business that we are just starting to realize.

3.	Customer Value Increase

With the iHUB, we can offer our advertisers a larger scale and reach, and better matching with our cross-company data layer. We offer our publishers more opportunities to monetize their inventory and generate incremental revenue as we make multiple ad products from different business units available in a unified platform.

The advanced technological solutions offered by Perion, which track with the entire consumer journey and marketing funnel, are poised to benefit from the macro trends. These trends include:

•	The growth in search driven by the growing shift to digital and contactless commerce activity;
•	The move towards in-house advertising;
---	---
•	The inevitable disappearance of the cookie in an increasing privacy-centric world and the corresponding imperative of first-party data; and
---	---
•	The need for high-engagement creatives in what is called the “Attention Economy.”
---	---

In addition, brands are seeking new solutions that enable them to transcend the dominance of the triopoly—Google, Facebook and Amazon, which now control 87% of ad spend in the United States—to enable more flexible options that respect their brands, users, and need for monetization.

Our headquarters and primary research and development facilities are located in Israel. We have our primary sales office in the United States and several other offices located in Europe.

Recent Developments

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed market and economic conditions globally, impacting our customers and channel partners, as well as our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We remain focused on protecting the health and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate, while assuring the continuity of our business operations.

As a result of the revenue flexibility provided by our product diversity across the three main pillars of digital advertising, cost-saving initiatives and experienced management team, we deftly mitigated near-term pressure on advertising budgets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly, and we closely monitor and assess, on an ongoing basis, the impact of the pandemic on our business operations. As additional information and guidance may become available through the public and governmental authorities, we may need to adjust our current practices and policies. While we continue to assess the impact from the pandemic, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, additional actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the further impact on the business of our customers and channel partners, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Revenues. Revenues increased by 58%, from $126.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $199.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Search Advertising and other revenues. Search Advertising and other revenues increased by 23%, from $84.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $103.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase is mainly due to higher average daily monetizable search queries in 2021, as well as an increased number of new publishers.

Display and Social Advertising revenues. Display and Social Advertising

          revenues increased by 127%, from $42.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $96.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily a result of growth in video and CTV along with accelerated
          growth driven from our Content Monetization solution.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased by 9%, from $10.6 million or 8% of revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $11.6 million or 6% of revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to our ability to generate higher level of revenues with a moderate increase in expenses related to hosting, data and headcount.

Traffic acquisition costs (“TAC”) and media buy. TAC and media buy increased by 66%, from $72.9 million or 58% of revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $121.1 million or 61% of revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to changes in product mix.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”). R&D increased by 22%, from $14.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $17.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily as a result of headcount increase and retention payments related to acquisitions as well as continued investments to further strengthen our technology.

Selling and marketing expenses (“S&M”). S&M expenses increased by 31%, from $17.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $23.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to headcount increase and retention payments related to acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”). G&A increased by 16%, from $7.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to $8.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to employee-related costs resulting from exchange rate fluctuations, an increase in stock-based compensation and higher insurance premiums in 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses remained stable in the amount of $4.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and $4.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Depreciation and amortization consist primarily of depreciation of our property and equipment and the amortization of our intangible assets as a result of our acquisitions.

Taxes on Income (benefit). Taxes on income (benefit) increased by $3.6 million from a tax benefit of $1.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 to tax expenses of $2.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily a result of an internal restructuring of group entities completed during the second quarter of 2020, which enabled the Company to efficiently utilize its tax attributes. The remainder of the change is due to a different mix of taxable income and loss between the different jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had $141.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits compared to $60.4 million as of December 31, 2020. The $80.8 million increase is primarily the result of $61 million raised through a follow-on public offering during January 2021. On March 8, 2021, we repaid in full the remaining $8.3 million loan principal amount together with the accumulated interest up to that date as per the loan schedule. We believe that our current working capital and cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Net cash provided by operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our operating activities provided cash in the amount of $28.1 million, primarily as result of a net income in the amount of $10.4 million, increased by non-cash expenses, depreciation and amortization of $4.4 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $2.0 million and a net change of $11.1 million in operating assets and liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our operating activities provided cash in the amount of $2.6 million, primarily as result of a net loss in the amount of $0.9 million, decreased by non-cash expenses, depreciation and amortization of $4.6 million and share-based compensation expenses of $1.9 million, offset by a net change of $1.0 million in operating assets and liabilities and the creation of deferred tax assets of $2.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used in our investing activities $74.1 million cash, primarily due to $70.3 million investment in short-term deposits and $3.4 million related to earn out payments related to the previous acquisitions.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used in our investing activities $7.5 million cash, primarily due to $13.8 million related to acquisition payments offset by $6.4 million proceeds from short-term deposits.

Net cash used in financing activities

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, our financing activities provided cash in the amount of $56.5 million, primarily due to $61 million from the issuance of shares in a follow-on offering and $3.8 million from stock-options exercises, offset by a $8.3 million repayment of our remaining loan.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used in our financing activities $2.4 million cash, primarily due to $4.2 million repayment of our long- and short-term loan offset by $1.7 million attributable from stock-options exercises.
