    Digital Media Solutions, Inc. Signs an Agreement To Acquire The HomeQuote.io Home Services Marketplace From Customer Direct Group

    Published Date March 6, 2023

    Clearwater, FL – March 6, 2023 - Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS), a leading provider of technology-enabled digital performance advertising solutions connecting consumers and advertisers within auto, home, health and life insurance plus a long list of top consumer verticals, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the HomeQuote.io home services marketplace from Customer Direct Group, along with the supporting media and technology assets of the ClickDealer international ad network. l

    Setting high standards in online marketing services, ClickDealer is a recognized industry expert, ranked as one of the best by Performance Insider and mThink Blue Book. The acquisition, once completed, will allow DMS to continue the expansion of its marketplace solutions into home services in the U.S. market, while also strengthening its brand direct business through international expansion.

    “With this acquisition, we will be executing on our key strategic growth initiatives. We will be expanding our marketplace solutions to now include home services, a vertical which we believe will perform well in a down market as homeowners turn to renovating their homes as opposed to buying new homes. We will also be expanding our brand direct business internationally. Through the acquisition, we will be continuing to invest and expand in key verticals and end markets,” stated Joe Marinucci, CEO of DMS. 

    The market for home improvement and other home services is substantial. According to Q4 2022 data recently released by the Joint Center For Housing Studies, continued growth is expected for home remodeling and repairs in 2023, with spending for homeowner improvements projected to reach $485 billion. Costs for mid- to large-scale home improvement projects typically range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. The process consumers use to identify and select a qualified product and service provider can be complicated and time-consuming for homeowners. Conversely, reaching and communicating with homeowners can be difficult and expensive for providers. Home services marketplaces like HomeQuote.io create connections between the homeowner who is gathering multiple bids and offers to compare job pricing, while simultaneously helping contractors expand their reach within their local markets. This will be a value additive process.

    The HomeQuote.io marketplace operates in high-value end markets such as roofing, windows and doors, bathrooms, kitchens, siding and gutters. The marketplace service will provide homeowners with access to thousands of contractors across the country.

    Additionally, DMS will now have access to diversified international media distribution and advertisers that will expand the current brand direct business that DMS operates domestically into over a dozen countries around the world. This will allow DMS to serve international advertisers in verticals like ecommerce, cyber security, retail, consumer finance and gaming.

    The consideration paid for the acquisition at closing will be $35 million. Performance in the two years following closing could result in up to $10 million of additional contingent consideration being paid. The acquisition, once completed, is expected to add $70 – $80 million to DMS FY2023 revenue and is expected to be accretive to DMS FY2023 earnings.

    More details on the transaction will be shared in the DMS 2022 Q4 and FY 2022 earnings call in March 2023, and in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, the satisfaction or waiver of which is necessary for the transaction to be consummated.
