IRONSOURCE LTD. M&A CALL - PRELIMINARY COPY | JUL 13, 2022
Presentation
Unknown Executive
[ Richard Davis ], Vice President of Investor Relations, and I would want to announce that we have a merger announcement that we’re going to talk about today, Unity and ironSource. We’re very excited about it. First, I’ll start with the safe harbor and then roll into the more important interesting thing.
So I would like to remind participants that during this conference call, we will be making forward-looking statements, including statements about goals, business outlook, industry trends, market opportunities and expectations for future financial performance, all of which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You can find more information about these risks and uncertainties in the Risk Factors section of our filings at sec.gov in the press release that we released this morning. Actual results may differ and would take no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements.
We will also be discussing non-GAAP financial measures today and reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results and a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures can be found in our earnings release, which was issued earlier today and is available on our website under the Investor Relations tab in the appendix to this call’s slide deck.
Now with that, let me turn the call over to John.
John S. Riccitiello
CEO, President & Executive Chairman
Good morning, and thank you, everyone, for coming on to this call in short notice. We have some exciting news to share with you today, and we’ve signed a definitive agreement to combine with one of the industry’s best run and [ physician ] growth and monetization platforms out there, ironSource.
Now with me today, we have Tomer Bar-Zeev, the Founder and CEO of ironSource, Luis Visoso, our CFO. And for the Q&A part of the call. Joining us are Marc Whitten, SVP, Unity Create; Ingrid Lestiyo, SVP and GM of Operate business; and Omer Kaplan, the Co-Founder and CRO of ironSource. And we have a presentation to walk you through all of us in describing the transaction, and then we’ll open up for some questions.
Numbers-wise, Luis will go through the specifics of the combination, but also provide a guidance preview of an improving but lowered full year 2022 growth trajectory designed to proactively reflect our current assessment of macro trends product launch and competitive dynamics with our monetization business.
But with that, let’s get on to the transformative days. Start with a little bit of our shared vision. From our founding in Copenhagen in 2006 to today, Unity has had a single vision, our [ North Star ], and that is to help creators build amazing content in later to operate and grow their businesses in the app economy.
Half a world away in [ Tel Aviv ] in 2010, a team of engineers started a company whose mission is to help any app developer turn their app into a scalable, successful business. By combining massive and differentiated data at scale with an iterative design feedback loop, they took the mystery of how hard it is to predict driven game development business. That company is called ironSource. And we think it’s great that we can — when we combine Unity, we will have 2 major hubs, one in Copenhagen and one in [ Tel Aviv ] that are our foundation and just an hour apart in time zones.
That brings us to today and the reason we’re joining forces with ironSource. We have a huge, shared vision that we plan to unlock years before either of us might otherwise have gotten to this alone. This shared vision is predicated on a few simple thoughts.
First, we believe that the majority of the world’s content will be real-time 3D. We see evidence of this every day in our shared market. Second, we know that only a fraction of creators today find the economic success they’re looking for. And third, we are combining to realize a [ Krisvision ] years ahead of its time, where we combine creation and growth in a single platform to increase creator success. We will help creators fund success consistently based on science, not just intuition and luck. And through this, we expect to increase the success of our customers and thereby earn an increase in our pave way, first in games and in verticals beyond gaming.
