The company also swung to GAAP net income of $32.94 million, compared to a net loss of $19.07 million in the same period a year ago, reflecting stronger operational leverage as higher revenue flowed through an increasingly efficient cost structure. A key driver of the quarter was momentum behind Kokai, the company's AI-powered next-generation platform, alongside continued expansion of Unified ID 2.0, which attracted new integrations from Warner Bros. Discovery, Walmart Connect, and NBCUniversal. Adjusted EBITDA reached $179.57 million, representing a 39% margin, up from 37% a year earlier. Looking ahead, management guided Q3 2023 revenue to at least $485.00 million with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $185.00 million, signaling continued confidence in demand trends across connected TV and retail media channels.
