This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change).

Innovid Launches First Holistic Frequency Management Solution to Optimize Campaigns Across Ctv & Digital Advertising Innovid Corp. announced the launch of Harmony Frequency, the first holistic frequency management solution for CTV and digital advertising. Harmony Frequency provides DSPs with frequency intelligence across a brand’s entire media portfolio before they bid, reducing ad waste, strengthening campaign effectiveness, and improving the viewing experience. This is the latest product innovation from Innovid’s Harmony initiative, aimed at optimizing the CTV and digital ecosystem. Controlling how often an ad is seen is a critical component of successful campaigns, and current methods of frequency capping are siloed. Until now, advertisers and media providers have had to define caps on a one-to-one basis – one frequency cap per publisher or DSP platform. This lack of unified insights leads to impressions being shown repeatedly to the same audiences. Powered by Innovid’s ad server, which sees every impression, publisher, platform, device, and household, Harmony Frequency offers holistic frequency intelligence across digital advertising. The solution provides rich data signals to DSPs integrating frequency management insights directly into programmatic buying strategies before the bid is made. As a result, advertisers reduce wasted spend by preventing overexposure, maximize budgets by reallocating spend to underexposed households, and improve the viewing experience by eliminating ad fatigue.

Innovid Releases CTV x Commerce 2024 Report on the State of Interactive Creatives & Shoppable Advertising Innovid announced the release of “CTV x Commerce 2024: Data-Driven Insights to Reach Shoppers with CTV Advertising.” The report, a collaboration between Innovid and Target’s retail media network, Roundel, looks at how shopper behaviors and advertising trends are changing along with the rapid growth of streaming. Highlights from “CTV x Commerce 2024” include: Shoppers are streamers who take action: 91% of surveyed Target guests subscribe to streaming services and devote 22 hours a week to them – an increase of 40% vs. the year prior. With 57% using services supported by ads, almost half (49%) report being likely to search for an item after seeing it on TV, and more than a third (33%) say they will scan a QR code on their TV if they know it will take them to a familiar site. CPGs are leaning into CTV for reach and engagement: CTV has established itself as an integral part of the CPG video mix, accounting for almost half (49%) of total video impressions for the last two years. CPGs also have the highest average CTV campaign reach (25.24%) among all measured verticals, and are experiencing strong performance with the use of interactive ads, which see engagement rates 10x higher than standard video formats. CTAs and timing are crucial for shortening the path to purchase for shoppable ads: Creative elements, includingaction-oriented calls to action (CTAs) like “Scan to Shop” or “Scan to Add to Cart,” are shown to create a sense of urgency and drive consumers to engage with shoppable ads. Shortening the number of “clicks” it takes to get to a desired action and maximizing QR codes’ time on screen were also found to be important components in creating successful interactive campaign experiences.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$105k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.3% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$105k sold). Recent Insider Transactions • May 28

Innovid Launches Harmony Initiative to Keep Tv Open for Everyone & Controlled by No One Innovid announced the launch of its Harmony initiative, aimed to optimize the CTV advertising ecosystem. Harmony Direct, the first in a wave of new product innovations released as part of the initiative, is designed to streamline the supply path to its purest form, ensuring more advertiser dollars go toward working media, increasing revenue opportunities for publishers, and creating a more sustainable, transparent path. CTV is at a critical inflection point. As TV rapidly transitions to a fully digital future, there is a clear opportunity to avoid the mistakes of digital advertising’s past. Innovid’s vision has always been that TV should remain open for everyone and controlled by no one. It has pursued that from a position of media-unbiased independence, with the strength of an open, transparent infrastructure that powers impactful ad-supported experiences. Innovid’s Harmony initiative was created to help realize that vision, in partnership with industry leaders, by addressing some of the biggest challenges facing CTV advertising today, for a better CTV advertising future tomorrow. The initiative’s goals are to optimize CTV advertising at the infrastructure level to improve efficiency, enhance transparency and control, reduce carbon emissions, and increase ROI to ultimately provide better viewing experiences. One of the first product innovations to be released as part of this initiative is Harmony Direct, a solution that streamlines the workflow for guaranteed, non-biddable CTV media to its purest form by removing all friction points, including additional technology “hops,” fees, and energy waste. This optimal workflow pushes more ad investment into working media, increases data fidelity and transparency, improves fill rates, lowers the risks of latency and fraud, and provides a more sustainable, greener supply path. Agency and publisher partners, including Assembly, CMI Media Group, PMG, and Roku, are among the first using Harmony Direct. Results from Innovid beta tests saw that moving spend to Harmony Direct led to an average 8% increase in working media for agency partners. Publisher partners improved yield by up to 15%, which includes average fill rates increasing from 90% to 100%. In 2024 alone, across the total U.S. CTV market, this could represent more than $1 billion in immediate savings going back into the ecosystem. Duyuru • Mar 01

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.3% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.2% increase in shares outstanding). Duyuru • Oct 11
