The deadline feels confident enough to enter the manner of acquisition, despite the threat of the tariff.
On Thursday, he announced that he had acquired the Streaming Service Frndly TV subscription for $ 185 million. The contract is expected to close in Q2.
He tied the announcement of TV for TV in his earning report Q1. The company reported $ 1.02 billion with total Q1 revenue, which is 16% compared to one year.
However, that the projection of revenue Q2 in the amount of $ 1.07 billion came under the expectations of investors, which led to 5% of the shares of shares in stores after working hours.
He did not break the revenue from advertising for Q1. However, it reported that the platform revenues were $ 881 million, which is more than 17% compared to one year, and that video advertising grew faster than the total revenue than the platform.
The FRNDLY acquisition emphasizes one of three growth columns, founder and executive director Anthony Wood told investors – namely, “that he really tilts into subscriptions,” he said.
The other two pillars? In order to improve advertising advertising by deepening relationships with DSP partners and finding new ways to collect revenue from the time of experience on the initial screen, Wood said.
Tariffs and TV biz
On the front of the starting screen time is open Plans to introduce a new adventure inventory. For example, Wood pointed out to Deccoating Widgets to recommend content last year, which he said he launched “significant” subscription applications and was “one of the reasons that the channel increased by 84% in the global year in the quarter.”
Still, some of the new advertisement formats on the home screen-like an automatic video playing- Have they broke the time of the user’s database.

According to Wood, the time limit remained revenue from the audience – and the advertiser – the transition from a linear TV on streaming. And, in his opinion, TV advertisers also transfer budgets from direct offers and in a program CTV, which is another tail wind for the time limit, given the efforts to increase the program.
For example, the company launched its self -serving platform, ads, Administrator of the advertisementIn September, which enables advertisers to buy ads throughout the network through direct order or by DSP of third parties via Biddable and program guaranteed contracts.
“We are entering several sources of demand for ads through our deeper integration with DSPs of the third party and we have a lot of supply that continues to grow,” Wood said.
However, Trump’s administration that is constantly changing the tariff strategy could prove to be the wind for that the growing devices production, Wood said.
Hence the soft Q2 look. The projected tariff will cause the revenue to fall from 10% compared to the next quarter.
However, he believes that the tariffs are unlikely to harm his market share, which currently makes up over 90 million households for current, Wood said in response to an investor question. And, he added, Tariffs or not, the deadline is on the way to surpass 100 million households.
And, when it comes to advertising, the tariffs could actually be a light tail wind, Wood suggested.
“Macro uncertainty causes advertisers to ask for more performance,” he said. “They start looking for more ROI, more performing ads and flexibility, and the time of these things is good in all these things.”
In addition, insecure times mean that advertisers priority priority flexibility in their administration of ads, said Charlie Collier, President of the Media.
The transition from Direct to the program “triggers” our clients “is a really understandable need for more flexibility in this macro environment,” Collier said.
He added that advertisers are already shortening their planning cycles in response to uncertainty caused by a tariff.
“What was once a quarterly planning for some, it can now be even in the short term as weekly,” he said. “As a result, we notice changes in media purchasing patterns on our platform, especially a shift from long -term guaranteed obligations to short -lived campaigns that are not imposed, are usually programmatically executed.”
Incremental or not
But one investor asked, was the transition from direct to programming brings any incremental income or is it just switching the budget from one purchase channel to another?
“Some of the programming revenues we see are obviously gradual,” especially from the partnership of the platform, Collier said. “But on the whole, it’s a mix,” and there are “many entrepreneurs and independent clients” who transferred the budgets from direct to programming guaranteed.
The true source of incremental growth, he added, expands the period of advertising advertising to allow a number of different execution strategies. This brings more small to medium advertisers through the manager’s advertisement, he said.
And the company’s efforts to increase the audience authentication to help measure, as well as the priority of interoperability of data with partners on platforms, encourages advertisers to spend more, Collier said. “All this unlocks new revenues and deepening existing relationships.”
