Frode Jacobsen, Opera’s CFO, said, “We are very pleased with our strong second quarter results and continued execution. Year-over-year, our revenue growth accelerated to 55%, and we saw a continued strong user growth. The investments we’re making in our business are accelerating our growth trajectory and we are becoming even stronger in Africa and other emerging markets across multiple dimensions, including our leading browser, the rapidly growing Opera News content platform, and our fintech offerings.
“Our strong Q2 revenue is supported by increased year-over-year growth of both advertising and search revenues, now at 18% and 8% respectively. Microlending revenue reached $11.6 million, representing an increase of $6.5 million from the prior quarter. This was fueled by continued growth in our initial market, Kenya, and launching our second market, India.
“In summary, our newer initiatives -- including Opera News, microlending and Opera Ads -- are already contributing significantly to our results, and we are approaching the inflection point of such new revenue streams exceeding our browser-based revenue.
“Our progress on existing initiatives, as well as new ones such as our classifieds launch in Nigeria, are setting us up for continued strong performance in the years to come. Beyond marketing, our 2019 investments also include additional cost of new and growing teams to support our ambitions.”
First half 2019 includes a prior period (first quarter) revenue adjustment of negative $1.4 million, following an internal review of estimates pertaining to certain revenues from the microlending business that Opera acquired in December 2018. The adjustment had an equal impact to pre-tax profit metrics, and a negative $1.0 million impact to post-tax profit metrics.
Second quarter 2019 user base and product highlights
(All comparisons are relative to the second quarter of 2018 unless otherwise stated)
|
● |
Opera News average Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) grew 61% to 163 million |
|
● |
The Opera News app, launched in January 2018, reached 37 million average MAUs, up 362% on year-over-year basis |
|
● |
Total smartphone average MAUs grew 24% to 227 million |
|
● |
PC average MAUs grew 14% to 65 million |
|
● |
Provided 1.8 million microloans in the quarter, up from 766 thousand in the first quarter |
Lin Song, Opera’s COO, said, “We are pleased with our Q2 results as all of our key metrics are tracking in the right direction. We continue to grow users, utilize our scale to launch new products and further expand our market opportunity.
“Opera News continues to scale rapidly and we have ambitions to drive the user base well beyond current levels. This past quarter, Opera News grew 61% year-over-year to 163 million monthly active users and the news app increased over 3.5x year-over-year to 37 million MAUs. In fact, Sensor Tower recently identified Opera News as the top downloaded global news app in the second quarter. We also launched Opera Ads to monetize our large user base. Early results are promising, with revenue on our news app more than doubling versus the prior quarter, which supported the year-over-year growth acceleration of our advertising revenue.
“We also announced that we’re expanding Opera Ads beyond large advertisers to include a focus on small and medium sized enterprises. Specifically, we’ve launched a classifieds product called OList that will incorporate different verticals including used cars, real estate and jobs. This will enable us to meaningfully increase our total addressable advertising market in Africa and provide another reason for users to use Opera News or one of our browsers more frequently. The product recently launched in Nigeria and we look forward to updating you on its progress.
“Our microlending business continues to perform well ahead of our expectations. We expanded into India during the second quarter and are extremely pleased with our momentum. We more than doubled our scale from the first to the second quarter, and the business has continued to scale nicely thus far in the third quarter. Recently we also launched into Nigeria -- where OKash is partnering with OPay, the mobile wallet and consumer service company that Opera incubated. Through this partnership, OKash is integrated in the OPay app and this will introduce our product to users that are already using fintech services from OPay. On a separate note, OPay received $50 million in funding during the second quarter, including from Sequoia China, IDG, Source Code Capital, Meituan-Dianping, GSR, Zhenge and Opera.
“On the browser side, we continue to focus on product differentiation. During the quarter, we launched Opera GX, a PC web browser tailored for gamers. The new browser allows PC gamers to customize and tune their browser to improve their gaming experience. Early results are promising with user engagement indexing well above our typical averages. This, along with our continued privacy efforts, led to 14% year-over-year growth in PC users. Additionally, the growth in our smartphone browser base is fueled by our high-end mobile browser, Opera for Android, now representing 34% of our smartphone browser base compared to 24% in the second quarter of 2018.
“The progress we’ve made across multiple fronts this quarter is impressive. We continue to grow our user base and are at the early stages of improving monetization -- whether it is through advertising, classifieds, fintech or a future initiative. We believe the combination of more users, increased engagement and better monetization will lead to significant multi-year growth for Opera.”
Business outlook
Mr. Frode Jacobsen, Opera’s CFO, said, “In light of the success we achieved during the first half of 2019, and most notably the recent traction that has carried into the second half of the year, we are again raising our full-year revenue expectations. We now expect 63% revenue growth at the midpoint of our 2019 guidance. This view includes significant growth in our microlending business, well beyond earlier expectations, capturing a very strong launch in India and from continued scaling in Kenya as well as our launch in Nigeria. Additionally, we expect continued advertising growth, while we still consider our newest initiatives more relevant for 2020 than 2019, including OList and additional fintech efforts. Further, we are raising the lower end of our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the revenue upside, while also increasing our non-marketing investment levels underlying our growth initiatives.”
As a result, Opera expects full year and third quarter 2019 revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:
Full Year:
|
● |
Revenue of $270 - $290 million, or 57 - 68% year-over-year, an increase from our previous guidance of $230 - $240 million |
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA of $35 - $45 million, which includes the previously disclosed incremental marketing investments as well as non-marketing investments in our new initiatives, and compares to prior guidance of $30 - $45 million |
Third Quarter:
|
● |
Revenue of $75 - $85 million, or 75 - 99% growth versus the third quarter of 2018. Fintech revenues and continued accelerated growth in advertising revenues are expected to be the most important growth drivers |
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA of $8 - $12 million |
Second quarter 2019 consolidated financial results
All comparisons in this section are relative to the second quarter of 2018 unless otherwise stated.
Revenue increased 55.0% to $61.7 million.
|
● |
Search revenue increased 8.3% to $21.4 million, accelerating primarily due to search optimization and PC browser growth. |
|
● |
Advertising revenue increased 17.8% to $16.2 million, accelerating due to an increase in both smartphone and desktop users and the launch of Opera Ads |
|
● |
Fintech revenue was $11.6 million (no comparable 2018 revenue). This revenue showed sequential growth of 130.0% versus the prior quarter due to continued growth in Kenya and the launch in India. |
|
● |
Retail revenue was $7.6 million (no comparable 2018 revenue). This revenue showed sequential growth of 12.1% versus the prior quarter, representing a fluctuation as the category is expected to remain relatively stable in the near-term prior to potentially exploring a wider retail opportunity. |
|
● |
Technology licensing and other revenue was $4.9 million, representing a decrease of 22.1%. We continue to expect this revenue category to decline over time. |
Operating expenses increased 119.6% to $64.5 million.
|
● |
Cost of revenue was $10.1 million, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Within the total, $7.7 million related to retail revenue, $1.8 million related to microlending and $0.6 million related to the browser and news business area. |
|
● |
Personnel expenses including share-based remuneration were $15.6 million, a 66.5% increase. This expense consists of cash-based compensation expense of $14.0 million, a 53.7% increase, driven primarily by increased headcount related to investee support, Opera News, Opera Ads, microlending and other growth initiatives, and $1.5 million of share-based remuneration expense. |
|
● |
Marketing and distribution expenses were $21.1 million, an increase of 169.0% following our previously announced efforts to further invest in accelerating our growth in 2019. |
|
● |
Credit loss expense was $5.8 million, of which $5.4 million related to our Fintech microlending business, compared to an overall gain of $0.1 million from accrual reversals in the second quarter of 2018. |
|
● |
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.3 million, a 26.7% increase. The increase is largely the result of the adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019. |
|
● |
Other expenses were $7.7 million, a 2.4% increase. |
Operating loss was $2.8 million, representing an operating margin of negative 4.5%, compared to $10.5 million and a 26.3% margin. The decline was largely due to the increased investment in marketing and distribution activities in the quarter and increased headcount associated with our growth initiatives.
Share of net income of associates and joint ventures amounted to $4.0 million, including a non-cash gain from the increased OPay valuation in connection with the company’s funding round.
Income tax gain was $1.0 million, compared to an expense of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Net income was $3.4 million, compared to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Net income per ADS was $0.031 in the quarter, and $0.030 on a diluted basis. Adjusted net income per ADS was $0.053 in the quarter, and $0.052 on a diluted basis. Each ADS represents two shares in Opera Limited. In the quarter, the average number of shares outstanding was 220.6 million, corresponding to 110.3 million ADSs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million, representing an 4.9% adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to $16.2 million in second quarter 2018. Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based remuneration.
Adjusted Net Income was $5.9 million in the quarter, representing a 9.5% adjusted net margin compared to $10.8 million in second quarter 2018. Adjusted net income excludes share-based remuneration and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions (all of which relates to the Opera privatization in 2016). Adjusted net income further includes partially offsetting reversals of the tax impacts of the foregoing adjustments.

About non-IFRS financial measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented based on 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), net finance expense (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 initial public offering, less other income.
We define adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based remuneration, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and expensed costs related to our initial public offering.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income provides 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. Please refer to our financial statements at the end of this announcement for a table reconciling our non-IFRS financial measures to net income (loss), the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure.
