Filing Explained
The filing incorporates interim financial statements into three S-8 registration statements; no share issuance is disclosed, and Chance Johnson becomes President.
The August 12 Form 6-K furnishes Nexxen’s interim Q2 2026 results and related announcement, consistent with this form’s role for a foreign private issuer.
The filing states that its IFRS interim statements are incorporated by reference into three Form S-8 registration statements from the filing date; this adds the statements to those registration documents, but does not report shares being offered, sold, or issued.
Separately, the company reports that Chance Johnson, formerly Chief Commercial Officer, has been promoted to President, a leadership-role change without a stated change to the company’s share count or holders’ ownership.
The incorporated statements remain part of the S-8 registration statements only to the extent they are not superseded by later documents or reports.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Non-IFRS net income financial
"Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net Income"
Model Context Protocol technical
"Advanced nexAI through Model Context Protocol ("MCP") and Agent-to-Agent"
A model context protocol is a set of rules or guidelines that determine how a financial model interprets and applies information within a specific situation. It helps ensure consistent and accurate analysis by clarifying what data or assumptions are relevant in a given scenario. For investors, it provides clarity on how predictions or assessments are made, increasing confidence in decision-making.
Agent-to-Agent technical
"through Model Context Protocol ("MCP") and Agent-to-Agent ("A2A") interoperability"
share repurchase program financial
"Share Repurchase Program and Capital Allocation Updates"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.

Accelerated enterprise adoption and platform-wide utilization, strengthening Nexxen’s long-term end-to-
end revenue growth opportunities
NEW YORK, August 12, 2026 — Nexxen International Ltd. (NASDAQ: NEXN) (“Nexxen” or the “Company”), the advertising technology platform powered by unique data and media, announced today its financial
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Q2 2026 Financial Highlights
| • |
Record Q2 Contribution ex-TAC of $97.8 million, up 11% year-over-year.
|
| • |
Record Q2 programmatic revenue of $95.2 million, up 12% year-over-year.
|
| • |
All-time record quarterly CTV revenue of $37.8 million, up 33% year-over-year.
|
| • |
Programmatic revenue increased to 95% of total revenue, compared to 93% in Q2 2025.
|
| • |
CTV revenue increased to 40% of programmatic revenue, compared to 33% in Q2 2025.
|
| • |
Video revenue represented 70% of programmatic revenue, compared to 68% in Q2 2025.
|
| • |
Adjusted EBITDA of $27.6 million, representing a 28% Adjusted EBITDA margin on a Contribution ex-TAC basis (27% on a total
revenue basis), compared to $29.9 million and a 34% Adjusted EBITDA margin on a Contribution ex-TAC basis (33% on a total revenue basis) in Q2 2025. The year-over-year change in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects increased investment across
AI, data, infrastructure, go-to-market execution and platform capabilities to support the Company's long-term growth opportunities, as well as the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.
|
| • |
$132.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, no long-term debt and $50 million available under the Company’s undrawn revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased significantly

|
“We once again exceeded consensus expectations, delivering record Q2 Contribution ex-TAC and programmatic revenue, highlighted by all-time record quarterly CTV revenue which increased 33%
year-over-year, supporting our decision to increase our full-year Contribution ex-TAC and programmatic revenue guidance for the third time this year,” said Ofer Druker, Chief Executive Officer of Nexxen. “Enterprise engagement continues to
accelerate, fueling greater platform utilization and reinforcing our confidence in our long-term growth strategy. As AI reshapes our industry, we believe differentiation will be driven not simply by AI capabilities, but by the proprietary data,
exclusive media and open, interoperable technology within the platforms underlying them. Through continued innovation, we are positioning nexAI to integrate directly into our customers' AI infrastructure, enabling access to Nexxen’s data,
intelligence and activation capabilities across both our platform and other AI-powered ecosystems. Combined with continued traction for Nexxen TV Home Screen and disciplined execution across our enterprise, CTV, mobile in-app and data strategies, we
believe our platform is increasingly well positioned to capture market share and deliver durable long-term value in the next generation of programmatic advertising.”
Financial Guidance
| • |
Nexxen raises its full-year 2026 Contribution ex-TAC and programmatic revenue guidance last provided June 16, 2026, while reaffirming its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance:
|
| o |
Contribution ex-TAC in the range of $388 - $402 million (previously $385 - $400 million), representing approximately 12% year-over-year growth at the midpoint

|
| o |
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $122 - $132 million (unchanged), representing approximately 10% year-over-year growth and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 32% on a Contribution ex-TAC basis at the midpoint
|
| • |
The Company’s updated full-year 2026 Contribution ex-TAC and programmatic revenue guidance reflects its Q2 outperformance, continued year-over-year momentum across enterprise, CTV, mobile and data products to this point in Q3 and increased
visibility into the remainder of the year. Nexxen’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance was reaffirmed primarily to reflect the Company’s expectation to continue investing across its strategic growth initiatives and platform capabilities in H2 2026.
|
| • |
The Company continues to expect H2 2026 growth to be supported by accelerating enterprise customer engagement, increasing end-to-end platform utilization, continued mobile in-app, CTV and data products strength and growing commercial
traction for Nexxen TV Home Screen.
|
| • |
Nexxen will continue investing in AI, data and infrastructure, alongside performance-based CTV and mobile in-app capabilities, to support long-term programmatic revenue growth and drive operating leverage expansion.
|
| • |
The Company continues to evaluate strategic options for its remaining non-programmatic business lines.
|
Q2 2026 Operational Highlights and Recent Developments
| • |
Advanced nexAI through MCP and A2A interoperability, which will enable customers to integrate Nexxen’s AI agents into their existing AI ecosystems and workflows. This innovation is expected to position Nexxen as an increasingly
interoperable intelligence and execution layer, enabling advertisers to seamlessly access the Company’s proprietary data, audience intelligence and campaign activation capabilities across both Nexxen’s platform and other AI-powered ecosystems
while strengthening the Company’s long-term competitive position in the evolving agentic future of programmatic advertising.
|
| • |
Enterprise engagement with Nexxen’s new AI-native DSP user interface (“UI”) and enhanced nexAI DSP assistant continued to accelerate, driving meaningful performance and efficiency improvements, lowering barriers to entry and supporting
greater end-to-end platform utilization. nexAI continues to evolve beyond an efficiency tool into an increasingly important driver of customer adoption, platform utilization and long-term revenue growth.
|
| • |
Increased adoption of Nexxen TV Home Screen across leading CTV OEMs, platforms and agencies, with growing commercial traction reinforcing Nexxen’s long-term CTV revenue opportunity.
|
| • |
Expanded direct software development kit (“SDK”) integrations with Unity and other mobile in-app partners, supporting continued mobile revenue growth while expanding Nexxen’s in-app capabilities and long-term revenue opportunity in one of
programmatic advertising’s most AI-resilient channels.
|
| • |
Announced key leadership adjustments to strengthen Nexxen’s commercial organization, unify execution and position the
Company to accelerate growth across its core drivers. Chance Johnson, formerly the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer, has been promoted to President of Nexxen, supporting the Company’s next phase of go-to-market execution and revenue
growth. Mr. Johnson will focus on scaling the business, executing against the Company’s product and solutions roadmap and taking on a more visible role with the analyst and investor communities. Kara Puccinelli, formerly Nexxen’s Chief
Customer Officer, has assumed the role of Chief Commercial Officer and will continue managing the Company’s enterprise offering. Kenneth Suh, formerly Nexxen’s Chief Strategy Officer, has assumed the role of Chief Business Officer to
further position the Company to capitalize on growth opportunities across its exchange business, particularly within mobile in-app and CTV.
|
| • |
Initiated a strategic wind-down of RhythmInfluence, Nexxen’s non-programmatic influencer marketing business, further concentrating the Company’s focus on programmatic advertising, improving operational efficiency and aligning its business
mix with long-term strategic growth priorities. The wind-down resulted in restructuring expenses during Q2 2026 but is not expected to have a material impact on Contribution ex-TAC or Adjusted EBITDA in H2 2026.
|
| • |
Enhanced Nexxen's political advertising offerings through strategic partnerships with L2 Data and ADvolution, further positioning the Company to capture a greater share of political advertising spend during the 2026 U.S. midterm election
cycle.
|

| o |
The Company did not repurchase any shares during Q2 2026 as management prioritized maintaining financial flexibility while evaluating disciplined M&A opportunities and capital deployment across Nexxen’s strategic priorities, including
continued investment in AI, data, platform capabilities and go-to-market execution. The Company has authorization to initiate a new share repurchase program of up to $40 million.

related to Nexxen’s future financial results and operating performance. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause Nexxen’s actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from its expectations expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: negative global economic conditions, including risks related to tariff
impacts or policy shifts (including trade negotiations or enforcement actions) that could materially affect market sentiment, consumer behavior and advertising demand; global conflicts and war, including the conflict involving Israel and Iran and
related regional and international tensions, including U.S. military involvement, and the war and hostilities between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen, and how those conditions may adversely impact Nexxen’s business, customers and
the markets in which Nexxen competes; changes in industry trends; and other negative developments in Nexxen’s business or unfavorable legislative or regulatory developments. Nexxen cautions you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties should review the risk factors listed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) on Form 20-F. Any forward-looking statements made by Nexxen in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release, and Nexxen does not intend to
update these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, except as required by law.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Information
In addition to our IFRS results, we review certain non-IFRS financial measures to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, establish budgets,
measure the effectiveness of investments in technology and development and sales and marketing, and assess our operational efficiencies. These non-IFRS measures include Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-IFRS Net
Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per Share, each of which is discussed below.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or as superior to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and review the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most comparable IFRS measures and the reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that the particular
items we exclude from, or include in, our non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Revenue to Contribution ex-TAC,"
"Reconciliation of Total Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Non-IFRS Net Income," included as part of this press release.
| o |
Contribution ex-TAC: Contribution ex-TAC for Nexxen is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization attributable to cost of revenue and cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization) minus Performance (non-programmatic) media costs (“traffic acquisition costs” or “TAC”). Performance (non-programmatic) media costs represent the costs of purchases of impressions from publishers on a cost-per-thousand
impression basis in our non-core, non-programmatic Performance activities. Contribution ex-TAC is a supplemental measure of our financial performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with IFRS. Contribution ex-TAC should not
be considered as an alternative to gross profit as a measure of financial performance. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be viewed in isolation. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in assessing
the performance of Nexxen because it facilitates a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross basis.
|
| o |
Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for Nexxen as total comprehensive income (loss) for the period adjusted for foreign currency translation differences for foreign operations, tax expenses,
financial income, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring and delisting related one-time costs. Adjusted EBITDA is included in the press release because it is a key metric used by management and
our Board of Directors to assess our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an
appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of the underlying business.
|
| o |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC.
|
| o |
Non-IFRS Net Income and Non-IFRS Earnings per Share: We define non-IFRS earnings per share as non-IFRS net income divided by non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-IFRS net income is
equal to net income (loss) excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring, delisting related one-time costs and stock-based compensation expenses, and also considers the tax effects of non-IFRS adjustments. In periods in
which we have non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-IFRS earnings per share include the impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units, each computed using the treasury stock method. We believe non-IFRS earnings per share is useful to investors for evaluating our ongoing operational performance and
trends on a per share basis and also facilitates comparison of our financial results on a per share basis with other companies, many of which present a similar non-IFRS measure. However, a potential limitation of our use of non-IFRS
earnings per share is that other companies may define non-IFRS earnings per share differently, which may make comparison difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results.
Non-IFRS earnings per share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Because of these limitations, we also consider the comparable IFRS measure of net income.
|
We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS financial metrics because reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make
assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding IFRS metric.
