Key highlights from the report include a doubling of CTV revenue, which now accounts for 20% of total revenue, and a notable 37% growth in omnichannel video revenue. PubMatic’s Supply Path Optimization represented 53% of total activity, indicating a strategic focus on optimizing ad supply chains. The company also repurchased 4.3 million shares, reflecting a commitment to returning value to shareholders.
Despite a slight decrease in fourth-quarter revenue growth, PubMatic’s strategic investments in emerging revenue streams and partnerships with major streaming brands like Roku and Disney+ Hotstar have positioned it well for future growth.

Looking ahead to 2025, PubMatic expects continued growth in its core business, driven by demand for premium, brand-safe inventory.
