Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: Does management describe that something the company already owns and already operates for its existing business has turned out to be useful for a second, much larger purpose — and that the company has recently begun turning that second use into real business, without having had to build a new company to do it? We need to find a situation where all three conditions are met: 1. Existing working capability - something already in place and used for current business. 2. Second use materially bigger than current. 3. Already converting with numbers barely showing it - real activity, but contribution small. Look at the transcript. Tal Jacobson talks about Perion's Retail Media business. He says: "Perion retail business is a great example of how we bring together skills, and technology in a powerful way that allows us to grow our market share. Behind those growth numbers is a smart platform. It is designed to enable large retailers to leverage their own data for greater sales, loyalty, and ROI. We are replacing the outdated circular that has been around for over a 100 years with the accuracy of digital targeting. Our magic begins with three layers of data, the anonymized data retail data, the third-party enrichment data that includes among others, demographic, behavioral, contextual, location, and other environmental condition. And finally, and one of the most important part is our own proprietary iHUB data. All three layers are then being added to our AI decisioning engine to produce 1,000 of dynamic creative. Perion solution allows us to deliver relevant, personalized and localized ad experiences... And thanks to SORT, our AI-based cookieless targeting technology. We can now target the right product to the right person at the right moment. Our dynamic retail solution is distributed across all our media channels..." So they have a Retail Media business that uses their existing technology (iHUB, SORT) and data to serve retailers. Is that a second use? The company originally had search advertising and display advertising (video, CTV). Retail Media is a newer vertical. They say "Our Retail Media business continued to accelerate growing 63% year-over-year, accounting for 10% of Display Advertising revenue versus 8% last year." So it's growing but still small.
