LiveRamp Holdings Inc. Expands Publisher Business in DACH Region While Reporting Strong Q1 Fiscal 2027 Results
LiveRamp Holdings Inc. (NYSE: RAMP) announced that it is extending its Publisher‑business operations into the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). The expansion is aimed at enhancing the company’s data‑collaboration platform for publishers across Central Europe and is part of a broader strategy to broaden its global footprint in the data‑technology sector.
In its most recent financial disclosure, LiveRamp reported first‑quarter fiscal 2027 results that showed solid growth. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 2026 was $214 million, a 10 % increase year‑over‑year. Subscription revenue grew by 8 % to $160 million, while Marketplace & Other revenue rose 15 % to $54 million. The company’s GAAP gross profit reached $151 million (up 11 %) and GAAP gross margin stood at 71 %, matching the prior year.
Operating income improved markedly: GAAP operating income increased from $7 million in the prior year to $20 million in the current quarter, giving an operating margin of 9 %, a 6‑percentage‑point expansion. Non‑GAAP operating income rose 41 % to $50 million. The company noted that the pending transaction with Publicis Groupe is expected to close before the end of calendar year 2026 and, as a result, will not host an earnings conference call or provide forward guidance at this time.
LiveRamp’s market capitalization as of August 4, 2026 stood at approximately $2.30 billion, with a share price of $37.80. The 52‑week high and low were $38.23 and $21.71, respectively, and the price‑to‑earnings ratio was 17.25. The company continues to be a key player in the information‑technology services sector, delivering data‑foundation, digital‑transformation, and consumer‑engagement solutions to a global client base headquartered in San Francisco.
The DACH expansion and the robust Q1 results reinforce LiveRamp’s positioning as a leading data‑collaboration platform, while the forthcoming transaction with Publicis Groupe is likely to further strengthen its market presence and service offering.
