Analyst

 Christoffer Jennel

Verve (Ticker: VER) is a fast-growing, profitable, digital media company that provides AI-driven ad-software solutions. Verve matches global advertiser demand with publisher ad-supply, enhancing results through first-party data from its own content. Aligned with the mission, “Let’s make media better,” the company focuses on enabling better outcomes for brands, agencies, and publishers with responsible advertising solutions, with an emphasis on emerging media channels. Verve’s main operational presence is in North America and Europe. Its shares are listed on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm and the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The company has three secured bonds listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market.

The questions were really well formulated, the answers were also good, and this was a clear relief for the market. Many investors had many unanswered questions, to which good answers were now provided. Could you make this a tradition, having a short interview after every quarter? However, ensuring a certain depth is maintained, meaning it doesn’t have to be immediately after the results, but perhaps a week later, allowing time to calmly digest the results and ask more in-depth questions. The forum here would also gladly submit questions. This would also improve the company’s communication with the market, as many investors do not listen to the Q&A section after the results. Today’s interview was a clear demonstration of the concept working, and both the company and investors benefited from it.

Good set and special thanks to Christoffer, well done!

Hi everyone! We have just published a longer interview with CEO Remco Westermann. Hope you enjoy it!                   Inderes              A sit-down with CEO Remco Westermann - Inderes    Time: 2025-12-12 09:09 In this interview, we sit down with Verve Group’s CEO Remco Westermann reflecting on 2025 and the path forward.

Factoring: Why was Factoring used less than usual in Q3? What is the overall strategy for factoring in the long run? Can it be reduced, or is it inherent to the nature of the business? Cash Flow: Why is cash flow so weak? When will it improve, and what are the drivers? What is the target for cash flow conversion? Artificial Intelligence/AI: Has the market changed with AI/ChatGPT, meaning there is less demand/volume where Verve operates? Verve as an acquisition target: Is Verve an interesting acquisition target for other players? What are the biggest synergies a buyer could gain from Verve? If someone were to acquire Verve, would integrating it into their own business be challenging? The company’s valuation has become very low by practically any metric. Has the company been approached with an acquisition offer in the last 12 months? (This can be disclosed according to MAR regulations if desired) M&A: Net debt relative to EBITDA is very high; are M&A activities on hold even if an interesting target is found? If a good target is found, would it be acquired if financing occurs through a directed share issue? Focus: Where is management’s focus, what is the biggest challenge being focused on, and where is improvement being sought? Risks: How confident is management that the platform integration challenges are now behind them? Competition: The market is constantly evolving; has Verve’s relative competitiveness weakened compared to other players? (Figures have weakened, and competitors have reported very strong figures) Market: How does the beginning of Q4 look compared to last year – is visibility better or weaker? Looking at the big picture, will the overall market next year be easier/harder/similar to this year? (The assumption is easier, as tariffs and uncertainty affected advertising budgets, especially in H1, and now there will be no incremental negative impact from them)

The questions are partly formulated in a moderately passive-aggressive way, but I’m sure Christoffer will make them presentable

1. What is the one thing Verve is currently failing at and how do you plan to fix it within 90 days? 2. Compared to your peers last year, growth and margins are lagging: what are you doing concretely that you didn’t do last year? 3. Which part of the business is currently unprofitable or weakest, and why haven’t you already made radical cuts there? 4. How do you ensure that organic growth is not just revenue inflation disguised by M&A? 5. What is the true customer churn in large accounts and what has been the trend there for the last 3–6 months? 6. If Apple or Google were to make a new privacy change tomorrow, what portion of Verve Group’s revenue would immediately disappear? 7. Which three KPIs best indicate if the business is truly heading in the right direction, and what are those numbers today compared to six months ago? 8. You have made several acquisitions. How many of them are clearly successful and how many are currently in a “turnaround” state? 9. What concrete benefit does Verve gain from its own data that directly translates into a higher take rate compared to competitors? 10. What is the biggest risk that management has taken in the last 12 months and why do you believe the market doesn’t understand it yet? Thank you.

Especially this year’s cash flow has been weak. Regarding the cash flow profile, one could ask for more details on how working capital evolves within the year; basic business capex and other related themes are of interest. If believing in growth and profitability targets, then what about cash flow targets?

MGI’s Q1 revenues increased organically by 21%, slightly ahead of our estimates. At the same time, the adjusted operating profit fell short of our expectations due to higher operating costs than estimated. The new guidance for 2024 was in line with our estimates; however, following the announcement of the Google Cloud deal, we have raised our mid-term earnings estimates. Nonetheless, given the recent surge in the share price, indicating that the market has been pricing in improved financials, we believe that the current price levels present a moderate risk/reward ratio.
