3Q23 Shareholder Letter


 
To Our AppLovin Shareholders: We are thrilled to announce another quarter of solid execution leading to very strong financial results. We exceeded the high-end of our quarterly guidance thanks to our incredible team and unwavering commitment to growing the mobile app ecosystem. Our success this quarter was primarily driven by the continued performance of AXON 2.0, the AI-based advertising engine behind our AppDiscovery platform. Total revenue for the third quarter was $864 million (+21% yr/ yr), net income was $109 million at a net margin of 13%, and Adjusted EBITDA was $419 million (+63% yr/yr) at an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 49%. During the quarter, we generated $199 million of net cash from operating activities and $194 million of Free Cash Flow. At the end of the third quarter, we had $332 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our Software Platform business continues to sustain its strong growth trajectory throughout 2023. We grew Software Platform revenue 24% from last quarter to a record $504 million (+65% yr/yr), and expanded Adjusted EBITDA by 33% from last quarter to $364 million (+91% yr/yr), equal to a 72% Adjusted EBITDA margin. Our Apps business also delivered quarterly growth with revenue increasing 5% from last quarter to $360 million (-11% yr/yr) and Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million (-18% yr/yr), a 15% Adjusted EBITDA margin. During this quarter, we improved our capital structure through an amendment of our credit agreement, which refinanced certain term loans to extend their maturity to 2030 and improve our credit spread. We also reduced the aggregate principal amount of such loans by $249 million. We expect to continue to reduce our debt over time. Additionally, year-to-date through the end of the third quarter, we have repurchased $1,154 million of our Class A common stock at a weighted average price under $25 per share, continuing our commitment to drive long-term shareholder value. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2023, we anticipate additional growth. Our 4Q 2023 outlook is as follows: Financial Guidance Summary1 4Q23 Total Revenue $910 to $930 million Adjusted EBITDA $420 to $440 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin 46% - 47% AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 2 1 We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, specifically Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, or a GAAP reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided historical reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this letter.

Software Platform Update Our persistent focus on execution and innovation strengthened three consecutive quarters of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth this year for our Software Platform segment including a 33% sequential increase in Adjusted EBITDA this quarter alone. Over the past two years (3Q21 to 3Q23) Software Platform revenue has more than doubled, achieving an annual run-rate this quarter of over $2 billion. Moreover, our Software Platform Adjusted EBITDA outpaced our strong revenue growth, illustrating the high flow-through from revenue to Adjusted EBITDA made possible with our Software Platform. Software Platform Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter comprises nearly 90% of our total Adjusted EBITDA. In the third quarter, we achieved our highest quarterly Software Platform revenue at $504 million, growing 65% year-over-year and 24% from the second quarter. This growth was driven by AppDiscovery where our successful launch of AXON 2.0 in the second quarter continues to propel our performance. During the quarter we benefited from the full quarter impact of our initial AXON 2.0 launch, continued improvements of our technology and an increase in advertiser spend as our clients saw the improved performance of our new AI-enhanced advertising engine. Software Platform Adjusted EBITDA grew 91% year-over-year to $364 million at an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 72%. While we remain energized about the opportunities available to improve our Software Platform technology and expand our reach, we are more excited about what this means to our advertising partners, who can benefit from growth through increased spend at better returns. $307 $306 $355 $406 $504 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 Software Platform Revenue ($ millions) $190 $186 $219 $273 $364 62% 61% 62% 67% 72% 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 Software Platform Adjusted EBITDA ($ millions, as % revenue) AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 4


 
Apps Update In the third quarter, our Apps segment revenue grew 5% from the second quarter to $360 million. This growth was primarily associated with increased investment in user acquisition marketing spend on AppDiscovery as our own studios also saw improvements in efficiency and performance from AXON 2.0. Third quarter Apps Adjusted EBITDA was $55 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin slightly declining sequentially to 15% due to an increase in user acquisition spend. $407 $396 $361 $344 $360 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 Apps Revenue ($ millions) $67 $74 $55 $61 $55 17% 19% 15% 18% 15% 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 Apps Adjusted EBITDA ($ millions, as % revenue) AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 5 President and CFO Transition Herald Chen, our President and Chief Financial Officer, is transitioning from his full-time executive role to Advisor to the CEO at the end of 2023. Herald will continue to serve as a director on the AppLovin Board of Directors.

We are both excited and confident to have Matt Stumpf, our current VP Finance, become AppLovin’s next Chief Financial Officer and to have Dmitriy Dorosh, our VP Controller, designated as our Principal Accounting Officer, starting January 1, 2024.


 
Conclusion We are very proud of our team’s continued focus, commitment, and execution which has been instrumental in driving our growth this quarter.

We are grateful for your trust and support, and we remain committed to delivering innovation and long-term value for our customers and shareholders as we grow. Regards, Adam Foroughi, CEO Herald Chen, President & CFO AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 6

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this shareholder letter includes certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow. A reconciliation of each such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found below. We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income (loss) before interest expense and loss on settlement of debt, interest income and other, net (excluding certain recurring items), provision for (benefit from) income taxes, amortization, depreciation and write-offs and as further adjusted for non- operating foreign exchange (gains) losses, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense and transaction bonuses, publisher bonuses, MoPub acquisition transition services, restructuring costs, impairment and loss in connection with sale of long-lived assets, loss (gain) on extinguishments of acquisition-related contingent consideration, lease modification and abandonment of leasehold improvements, and change in the fair value of contingent consideration. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the same period. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and principal payments on finance leases. We subtract both purchases of property and equipment and payment of finance leases in our calculation of Free Cash Flow because we believe these items represent our ongoing requirements for property and equipment to support our business, regardless of whether we utilize a finance lease to obtain such property or equipment. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key measures we use to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We use Free Cash Flow in addition to GAAP measures to help manage our business and prepare budgets and annual planning, and we believe Free Cash Flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in our business and our liquidity. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 8


 
Key Metrics We review the following key metrics on a regular basis to evaluate the health of our business, identify trends affecting our performance, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Quarterly Key Metrics Monthly Active Payers (MAPs). We define a MAP as a unique mobile device active on one of our apps in a month that completed at least one In-App Purchases (IAP) during that time period. A consumer who makes IAPs within two separate apps on the same mobile device in a monthly period will be counted as two MAPs. MAPs for a particular time period longer than one month are the average MAPs for each month during that period. We estimate the number of MAPs by aggregating certain data from third-party attribution partners. Some of our apps do not utilize such third-party attribution partners, and therefore, our MAPs figure for any period does not capture every user that completed an IAP on our apps. We estimate that our counted MAPs generated approximately 98% of our IAP revenue during the three months ending September 30, 2023, and as such, management believes that MAPs are still a useful metric to measure the engagement and monetization potential of our games. Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (ARPMAP). We define ARPMAP as (i) the total IAP Revenue derived from our Apps in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAPs in that same period. ARPMAP for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAP for each month during that period. ARPMAP shows how efficiently we are monetizing each MAP. 3Q 2023 3Q 2022 Monthly Active Payers (millions) 1.8 2.2 Average Revenue per Monthly Active Payer (ARPMAP) $46 $41 Our key metrics are not based on any standardized industry methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Similarly, our key metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology. The numbers that we use to calculate MAPs and ARPMAP are based on internal data. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. AppLovin Corporation / 3Q23 Shareholder Letter 9
