In a March 2018 court filing, IronSource reported revenues of $461.6 million and a net income of $59.8 million for 2017.

 

The company's expected jump in revenues is the result of IronSource's decision to focus on the mobile gaming industry, Reuters cited Kaplan. He expects consolidation in the industry in the future, he said, adding that IronSource is planning several acquisitions in the next few years in the range of between several tens of millions of dollars and several hundreds of millions.

 

The company is also contemplating an initial public offering, Kaplan told Reuters, but the timing depends on the adtech industry.
