Tremor International Ltd (LON: TRMR)

Tremor International Ltd. is an FTSE AIM 100 listed company focused on digital advertising, including video, mobile, native, display technology, and connected TV. The Company was formerly known as Taptica International Ltd. TRMR is a worldwide leader in Video and Connected TV ("CTV") advertising, as it offers an end-to-end technology platform that enables advertisers to expand their reach.

On 24 February 2022, the Company will release FY21 financial results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2021.

Growth Prospects

• Strategic Partnerships: TRMR bolstered its end-to-end CTV capabilities for customers and recently announced a partnership with VIDAA to expand its US and international footprint. Moreover, it looks forward to evaluating additional strategic acquisition opportunities, making further investment in R&D, and increasing market share.
• Continued Growth in CTV: Due to a favourable industry shift towards programmatic buying, CTV had emerged as a key strategic focus for the Company. Meanwhile, the CTV revenues went up by around 115% during Q3 FY21 as compared to Q3 FY20.

Key Risks 

• Record UK Inflation: The annual rate of UK consumer price inflation reached 5.5% in January 2022, the highest since March 1992. Thus, it can adversely impact the London equities.
• Inflation Concern: Due to the inflationary pressure, the Bank of England increased the Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 0.50%. It can keep the equity market under pressure amid the rising US Dollar index.
• Wrong Strategic Choices: The failure of partner relationships could adversely impact the business in the near term.
