ANALYST DAY

DECEMBER 31, 2015

This presentation contains historical information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the business, financial condition and results of operations of Perion. The words “will”, “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views, assumptions and expectations of Perion with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Perion to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, or financial information, including, among others, the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of companies and businesses we acquired and may acquire in the future, risks entailed in integrating the companies and businesses we acquire, including employee retention and customer acceptance; the risk that such transactions will divert management and other resources from the ongoing operations of the business or otherwise disrupt the conduct of those businesses, potential litigation associated with such transactions, and general risks associated with the business of Perion including intense and frequent changes in the markets in which the businesses operate and in general economic and business conditions, loss of key customers, unpredictable sales cycles, competitive pressures, market acceptance of new products, inability to meet efficiency and cost reduction objectives, changes in business strategy and various other factors, whether referenced or not referenced in this presentation . Various other risks and uncertainties may affect Perion and its results of operations, as described in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2015. Perion does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements..

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude acquisition related expenses, other non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation expenses, accretion and gain from the reversal of acquisition related contingent consideration, impairment of goodwill, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and the related taxes thereon, as well as certain accounting entries under the business combination accounting rules that require us to recognize a legal performance obligation related to revenue arrangements of an acquired entity based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measures are regularly used internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions, and we believe that they are useful to investors as a consistent and comparable measure of the ongoing performance of our business. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

NONE OF THEM KNOWS HOW TO BALANCE THE NEED FOR

ENGAGEMENT AND MONETIZATION

• No connection between engagement & monetization tools

• No centralized view or use of data

• Optimizing single ad slots and not revenue per page/site

AND PUBLISHERS DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY

TO LOOK BEYOND IMMEDIATE THREATS

• Majority of Publishers are still

focused on developing an adequate

digital/mobile solution as they are in

the war for survival

• Very few have been able to dedicate

sufficient resources to develop a

longer term strategy, or to tackle the

“next level” of challenges

Most Publisher are still struggling

with the “basics”

Most trending topics are all

immediate threats…

Ad Blockers

WHICH ARE BEING ADDRESSED WITH

TOO MANY SINGLE POINT SOLUTIONS

Findings of CodeFuel’s research:

• On 125 sites reviewed, 375 unique vendors were identified

• Outside Google, Facebook & AppNexus, very few vendors

are commonly used

• Connections per site range between 20 to 100+

• Majority of vendors offer a single point solution

• Leading categories by number of connection per site:

Analytics (92 vendors), Networks (39 vendors), DSPs (46

vendors), Engagement (22 vendors)
