Oslo, 24 February 2022: Meltwater (ticker: MWTR) finished the year with a strong
fourth quarter, which saw the Company exceed guidance for both revenue and
adjusted EBITDA margin. Revenue was just over $107m for the fourth quarter, the
Company's strongest quarter to date, resulting in revenue of $403m for the full
year. For 2022, the Company expects revenue to increase to $450-460m. 

From Q4 2021 the Company reports and guides in IFRS accounting standards.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10% for 2021 overall according to IFRS. The positive
developments in the fourth quarter were primarily driven by continued growth in
the strategic focus areas of premium accounts and social products, in which
annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 36% and 55%, respectively. 

Throughout 2021, Meltwater added 886 Premium Customers to this strategically
important segment. Finishing the year with 3,848 Premium Customers in total,
this segment now represents 50% of all ARR, up from 45% in Q4 2020. Among the
notable companies entering Meltwater's Premium Client segment in the quarter
were new clients such as Marriott International, Nike, McKinsey & Company, Lego
and Bayer.

Meltwater is pleased to have completed its fourth acquisition during 2021 in
November, with the addition of Oxford University spin-off DeepReason.ai. Through
these acquisitions Meltwater has, as intended in the beginning of 2021, actively
contributed to the consolidation in its industry.

"All major KPIs were positive this quarter. The progress in the fourth quarter
was primarily driven by continued growth in the strategically important segments
of premium accounts and social products, and retention rates for both premium
customers and all customers continued to develop positively throughout the year.
In sum, we exceeded guidance for both revenue and profitability, " said John
Box, Meltwater CEO.

Meltwater also successfully completed its uplisting process from Euronext Growth
Oslo to the Main list of the Oslo Børs in December 2021.

"As it enters 2022, Meltwater is well positioned and expects to grow revenue to
$450-460m for the year 2022. We will look to leverage our internal investments
in Sales & Marketing and R&D, increasing market demand for social products and
the opportunity from successful M&A in 2021 to continue working towards our
long-term goals and ambitions," John Box adds.

In its reporting, Meltwater provided an update on its ambitions for 2022 and
long-term financial targets. According to the updated guidance, the Company
expects to deliver revenue of $105-107m in Q1 2022 and $450-460m for the full
year 2022, driven by targeted ARR of ~$510m. The Company expects an adjusted
EBITDA margin of 6-7% in IFRS for 2022, which adjusted for accounting effects is
on a par with performance in 2021. 

Longer term, the Company continues to target organic revenue growth of 20% and
adjusted EBITDA margins of 20%+.
