Opera Limited announces second quarter 2018 financial results
Oslo, Norway, August 23, 2018 – Opera Limited (Nasdaq: OPRA) (“Opera”), one of the world’s leading browser providers and an influential player in the field of integrated AI-driven digital content discovery and recommendation platforms, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

| · | Operating revenue was $39.8 million, an increase of 50.3% year-over-year. |
| · | Net income was $7.4 million, representing a net margin of 18.6%, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million during the second quarter of 2017, which represented a negative 9.6% margin. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $16.2 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.6%, compared to $4.3 million during the second quarter of 2017, which represented a 16.0% margin. |
| · | Adjusted net income(1) was $10.8 million, representing an adjusted net margin of 27.1%, compared to $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2017, which represented a 4.0% margin. |
Second quarter 2018 user base highlights
| · | Opera News average monthly active users (“MAUs”) in the quarter was 101.0 million (+307.3% year-over-year), of which users on the standalone Opera News app that was launched in January 2018 reached 7.9 million average MAUs in the quarter, with 11.2 million active users in June 2018. |
| · | Total smartphone users reached 182.2 million in the quarter (+13.4% year-over-year). |
| · | Total PC users reached 57.1 million in the quarter (+25.2% year-over-year). |
Mr. Yahui Zhou, Opera’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are excited to present our first quarterly report after becoming a listed company, with records within both revenue and profitability. The IPO process was also very rewarding in that it allowed us to meet so many investors who share our vision – and ambition – for this great company. We continue to execute on our strategy to grow our AI-driven content recommendation platform in Africa and emerging Asia. We are very pleased that Opera News exceeded 100 million MAUs in the second quarter, marking an important milestone in our development of AI-based content services. Further, the standalone Opera News app that we launched earlier this year reached an average MAU of 7.9 million in the quarter – with 11.2 million active users in June. This is a solid foundation for further growth, and demonstrates our commitment and capability to grow and take our AI-based content services to the next level.”

Mr. Lin Song, Opera’s COO, highlighted, “The tremendous growth of Opera News, both as a service in our browsers and as a standalone app, paired with our market presence, publisher partnerships and monetization capabilities, represents an excellent platform for us to continue building a strong and defendable position in the content space in our core markets, and will allow us to further strengthen our monetization potential going forward. We also continue to drive and maintain a healthy PC and smartphone browser user base, fueled by continuous innovation in this space, as well. For instance, in the second quarter we launched Opera Touch, a companion mobile browser for our PC users, which enables seamless transitions between devices. This novel browser later won a Red Dot Award for communication design. Again, this showcases our dedication to lead and attract users by feature-rich browser products and to stay at the forefront of innovation.”
Mr. Frode Jacobsen, Opera’s CFO, said, “We achieved strong results in the second quarter, with over 50% revenue growth year-over-year, and record recurring profitability across all relevant metrics. While we continue to prioritize Opera News user growth and product development, we also achieved robust user-driven revenue growth both in advertising and search revenue, up 63.1% and 26.2% year-over-year, respectively. We remain confident that our strategy and operations will continue delivering on an attractive financial trajectory.”
Second quarter 2018 consolidated financial results
Operating revenue was $39.8 million, a 50.3% increase year-over-year.
| · | Search revenue was $19.8 million, a 26.2% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our average revenue per qualified search following improved monetization by our search partners and the PC user base growth in high-ARPU markets such as Europe and the United States, directly affecting the monetary value of our revenue share. This trend was amplified by our collaboration with search partners to enhance the mobile search experience for many of our users by enabling richer landing pages that also featured more high-end advertisements. |
| · | Advertising revenue was $13.7 million, a 63.1% increase year-over-year. The substantial lift followed the introduction of the Opera News service in our mobile browsers. This opened up a new advertising inventory that we began monetizing in the second half of 2017, ultimately resulting in rapid revenue growth on industry-standard mobile ad units. Further, price factors such as growth in high-ARPU markets such as Europe and the United States for the PC user base and closer collaboration with our e-commerce partners to improve conversion rates represented favorable factors towards our overall growth in advertising revenue. |
| · | Technology licensing and other revenue was $6.3 million, a 163.1% increase year-over-year. This revenue category is volatile in nature, as it largely follows the timing of underlying support and licensing agreements. |
Operating expenses totaled $29.4 million, a 1.2% increase year-over-year. Operating expenses represented 73.7% of operating revenue in the second quarter 2018, compared to 109.6% in the second quarter 2017.
| · | Payouts to publishers and monetization partners were $1.4 million, compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter 2017. This category is growing as the monetization of our user base evolves, with both content and service partnerships supporting the growth. |
| · | Personnel expenses were $9.4 million, a 16.1% decline year-over-year. This consisted of cash-based compensation expense of $9.1 million, a 9.6% increase year-over-year, and share-based remuneration expense of $0.2 million, a 92.2% decrease from $2.8 million in the second quarter 2017. The decline in share-based remuneration was mainly due to a correction of accrued social security cost, leading to a $1.3 million reduction of social security accruals in the quarter, and the fact that share-based remuneration expense was elevated in 2017 because it was the first year of a new employee Restricted Share Unit program. |
| · | Depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.4 million, a 6.3% decrease year-over-year. The decline is largely explained by equipment in use that is fully depreciated. |
| · | Other operating expenses were $15.2 million, a 10.4% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to increased marketing and distribution expenses, totaling $7.8 million in the quarter, which were 19.6% higher than the second quarter 2017, and an increase in the cost of audit, legal and other advisory services during our IPO preparations, totaling $2.6 million in the quarter, which was 242.8% higher than the second quarter 2017. The other expenses in the category, including hosting, office and rent, software license fees, travel and other totaled $4.8 million and was 26.6% down versus the second quarter 2017, mainly driven by a reduction of our hosting costs. |
| · | Restructuring cost was zero, compared with $0.4 million in the second quarter 2017. |
Operating profit reached $10.5 million in the quarter, representing an operating margin of 26.3%, compared to a $2.5 million operating loss in the second quarter 2017.
Income tax expense was $2.5 million in the quarter, compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter 2017. Our effective tax rate was 25.5% in the second quarter 2018, due to non-taxable losses from associates and joint ventures, and the recognized equity cost of our RSU program.
Net income was $7.4 million in the quarter, representing a net margin of 18.6%, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, which represented a negative 9.6% margin.
Adjusted EBITDA was $16.2 million in the second quarter 2018, representing a 40.6% adjusted EBITDA margin and a 280.5% increase year-over-year. In the second quarter of 2017, adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million, representing a 16.0% margin. Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based remuneration, restructuring charges, and as of the second quarter 2018, expensed IPO-related costs for audit, legal and other advisory services.
Adjusted net income was $10.8 million in the second quarter 2018, representing a 27.1% adjusted net margin. In the second quarter of 2017, adjusted net income was $1.1 million, representing a 4.0% margin. Adjusted net income excludes share-based remuneration, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions (all of which relate to the Opera privatization in 2016), and as of the second quarter 2018, expensed IPO related costs. Adjusted net income further includes reversals of the income tax benefits related to the foregoing three adjustments.
Net income per ADS was $0.078 in the quarter, and $0.075 on a diluted basis. Adjusted net income per ADS was $0.113 in the quarter, and $0.110 on a diluted basis. Each ADS represents two shares in Opera Limited.
Business outlook
Opera expects that 2018 full-year revenue will amount to $170-175 million, representing a growth of 32-36% versus full-year 2017. This translates to a total expected revenue of $91-96 million for the second half of 2018, with both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in each of the third and fourth quarters likely to be driven by the search and advertising revenue categories.
About non-IFRS financial measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income, both non-IFRS financial measures, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding income tax expense (benefit), total net financial loss (income), share of net loss (income) of associates and joint ventures, restructuring costs, depreciation and amortization, share-based remuneration and expensed costs related to our recent initial public offering, less other income.
We define adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based remuneration, amortization cost related to acquired intangible assets, and expensed costs related to our recent initial public offering.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. These non-IFRS financial measures adjust for the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the operational performance of our business. While we believe that these non-IFRS financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
