DoubleVerify Holdings announced that it has become the first measurement provider to receive Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for TikTok video viewability reporting. The accreditation validates the company’s direct measurement of impressions, viewable impressions, and sophisticated invalid traffic filtration within the TikTok mobile app, extending its existing MRC‑accredited capabilities for open‑web inventory to the rapidly growing TikTok platform.
MRC accreditation is an independent audit that confirms a measurement product meets industry standards for validity, reliability, and transparency. By adding TikTok to its Pinnacle® analytics dashboard, DoubleVerify now offers advertisers verified viewability metrics for TikTok campaigns, giving them a single, trusted source for performance data in one of the world’s largest social‑video ecosystems.
In its most recent quarterly report, DoubleVerify posted earnings per share of $0.31 versus analyst expectations of $0.28, a beat of 10.71%. Revenue for the quarter was $205.59 million, slightly below the $208.77 million consensus but still up 7.9% year‑over‑year. The earnings beat was driven by disciplined cost management and a favorable mix of higher‑margin services, while the revenue miss reflected pricing pressure in certain segments and the continued impact of a competitive advertising market. The company’s guidance for Q1 2026 remains unchanged, with results expected on May 6.
The accreditation expands DoubleVerify’s measurement footprint into TikTok, a platform that is projected to command a significant share of global digital advertising spend in 2026. By being the first to secure MRC validation on TikTok, DoubleVerify differentiates itself from rivals such as Integral Ad Science, which lack independent verification for this channel. The move is expected to attract advertisers seeking reliable performance data and could drive additional revenue as the company continues to broaden its coverage of emerging walled‑garden channels.
Mark Zagorski, CEO, said, “We are proud to be the first measurement provider to achieve MRC accreditation for TikTok video viewability reporting. As advertising investment continues to grow across video‑centric social platforms like TikTok, independent verification plays a critical role in ensuring transparency and accountability.” George Ivie, MRC CEO, added, “We congratulate DoubleVerify for extending their Video Viewability and SIVT accreditation to include measurement of TikTok traffic as well as continued accreditation of Property Level Ad Verification and Attention.”
While the company has not issued new guidance, the accreditation signals confidence in its ability to capture and monetize performance data on high‑growth platforms. Investors and analysts will likely view the development as a positive step toward strengthening DoubleVerify’s competitive position and expanding its revenue base in the social‑video space.
