Adobe to Acquire TubeMogul
TubeMogul Acquisition Brings Leading Video Advertising Platform to Adobe Marketing Cloud
SAN JOSE, Calif. and EMERYVILLE, Calif. November 10, 2016 Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TubeMogul (Nasdaq: TUBE) for approximately $540 million net of debt and cash. Under the terms of the agreement, Adobe will commence a cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of TubeMogul for $14 per share. TubeMogul is a leader in video advertising, with a single platform that enables brands and agencies to plan and buy video advertising across desktops, mobile, streaming devices and TVs. Adobe Marketing Cloud is the worlds most comprehensive and integrated solution for delivering exceptional digital experiences. Adobes acquisition of TubeMogul will create the first end-to-end independent advertising and data management solution that spans TV and digital formats, simplifying what has been a complex and fragmented process for the worlds biggest brands.
Video consumption is exploding across all devices and video advertising is the fastest growing advertising category. Adobe is the leader in video content creation and delivery with its Premiere Pro CC and Primetime solutions. Adobes acquisition of TubeMogul will enable brands to capitalize on the meteoric shift to online video.
The acquisition of TubeMogul further strengthens Adobes leadership in digital marketing and advertising technology. Building upon its expertise in search, display and social advertising planning and delivery with Adobe Media Optimizer, the addition of TubeMogul will enable Adobes customers to maximize their video advertising investments across desktop, mobile, streaming devices and TV. TubeMoguls video advertising platform, combined with Adobe Marketing Cloud, will give customers access to first-party data and measurement capabilities from Adobe Audience Manager (Adobes data management platform) and Adobe Analytics respectively.
Whether its episodic TV, indie films or Hollywood blockbusters, video consumption is exploding across every device and brands are following those eyeballs, said Brad Rencher, executive vice president and general manager, digital marketing, Adobe. With the acquisition of TubeMogul, Adobe will give customers a one-stop shop for video advertising, providing even more strategic value for our Adobe Marketing Cloud customers.
TubeMogul is a video demand-side platform (DSP) leader according to Forrester Research in its Q4 2015 Forrester Wave Video Advertising Demand Side Platform report. Adobe and TubeMogul share a long list of joint customers that will benefit from the integration of TubeMogul into Marketing Cloud solutions. Joint customers include Allstate, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, Liberty Mutual, LOréal, Nickelodeon and Southwest Airlines.
Adobe and TubeMogul share a similar culture and vision for the future of advertising, said Brett Wilson, CEO and co-founder, TubeMogul. The combination of Adobe Marketing Cloud with TubeMoguls software creates a uniquely comprehensive platform that will help marketers always know whats working and act on it. Were thrilled to call Adobe home and believe this will be a great move for our clients, team and shareholders.
The transaction, which is expected to close during the first quarter of Adobes 2017 fiscal year, is subject to customary closing conditions. The potential financial impact to Adobe of this transaction is not reflected in financial targets previously provided by Adobe. Until the transaction closes, each company will continue to operate independently. Assuming the completion of the transaction, Adobe believes the acquisition of TubeMogul will be neutral to Adobes non-GAAP earnings in fiscal year 2017. Due to the absence at this time of certain acquisition-related cost estimates and purchase price accounting, Adobe is currently unable to provide an estimated impact on future GAAP earnings.
TubeMogul CEO Brett Wilson will continue to lead the TubeMogul team as part of Adobes Digital Marketing business.
