Extending platform into Retail Media, a $100B+ opportunity.

PubMatic had 713 global employees at the end of 2021, a 30% increase over 2020. Hiring plans call for doubling of our engineering team over the next 12-18 months.

Invested $30 million in 2021 in infrastructure and increased capacity, with continued capital expenditure investment in 2022. Expanded our global footprint last year into South Korea and opened offices in Madrid, Paris and Shanghai.

  • Q4 2021 and FY 2021 GAAP net income include an unrealized gain on equity investments. Net of income taxes, the impact was $4.2M.
  • Calculated by starting with the revenue from publishers in the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2020 ("Prior Period Revenue"). We then calculate the revenue from these same publishers in the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2021 ("Current Period Revenue") (including any upsells and net of contraction or attrition, but excluding revenue from new publishers). Our net dollar-based retention rate equals Current Period Revenue divided by Prior Period Revenue.
