Stockholm, Sweden – October 30, 2024 – Verve Group SE ("Verve" or the "Company", ISIN: SE0018538068; Ticker: VER at Nasdaq First North / M8G at Frankfurt Stock Exchange) reports that organic revenue growth increased for the fourth consecutive quarter, now reaching 31% in Q3 2024. The acceleration of organic growth is driven by multiple factors, including new large customer onboardings, scaling up of existing customers, increasing demand for ID-less targeting solutions, as well as full-screen and video ads.

Key Highlights:
  • Significant Customer Growth: Large software clients (customers with > $100K revenue per year) grew by 45% year-over-year, from 690 to 998 (organic growth, excluding the Jun Group acquisition), underscoring Verve’s effectiveness in onboarding and scaling high-value partnerships organically. 
  • Privacy-First Targeting Leads Growth: revenue generated on iOS-Apple devices, on which the majority of end-consumers don’t provide consent for tracking since the deprecation of Apple’s IDFA (Identifier for Advertising), surged by 51% compared to the previous year as customers increasingly turn to Verve’s privacy-first targeting solutions.
  • Full-Screen Video Ads Gain Traction: Revenue from full-screen video ads grew year-over-year by 233%, reflecting Verve’s competitive edge in immersive ad formats.
