Rumble Sets New All-Time Records Across All Key Performance Measures

In the first quarter of 2022, the company saw a record number of monthly active users, minutes watched per month, and hours of uploaded videos per day, with an all-time users record in March 2022.

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the online video platform Rumble announced that its user base hit a new record in the first quarter of 2022, rising to an average of 41 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the quarter, representing a 22 percent increase in MAUs relative to the fourth quarter of 2021. March 2022 saw a record high of 44.3 million MAUs.

Rumble also set user engagement records in the first quarter of 2022, with Rumble users watching an average of 10.5 billion minutes per month (MWPM) and the platform receiving an average of 6,158 hours of uploaded video per day in the quarter, representing 23 percent and 88 percent increases, respectively, over the fourth quarter of 2021. Rumble's significant growth in these metrics is a reflection of our deep and growing pool of content creators, our continued value proposition as competing platforms continue to censor and cancel the voices of creators, increased uploads from a cloud services customer, and a number of new platform features. The net impact is to allow our loyal users access to a vast and growing library of new content.

"When you consider the limited capital Rumble has raised to date, I believe this kind of growth is unlike anything we've seen before," said Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski. "Other technology companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to achieve this amount of market share; Rumble has done it with a fraction of their capital."

Information About Performance Indicators

Monthly Active Users ("MAUs"). Rumble uses MAUs as a measure of audience engagement to help it understand the volume of users engaged with its content on a monthly basis. MAUs represent the total web and app users of Rumble for each month, reflecting unique web and app users, based on data provided by third-party analytics providers using company-set parameters. The analytics systems and the resulting data have not been independently verified. There is a potential for minor overlap in the resulting data due to users who access Rumble's content from both the web and the app in a given measurement period. MAUs do not include embedded video, certain connected TV users, or users of the Locals platform.

Minutes Watched Per Month ("MWPM"). Rumble uses MWPM as a measure of audience engagement to help it understand the volume of users engaged with its content on a monthly basis and the intensity of users' engagement with the platform. MWPM represents the monthly average of minutes watched per user within a quarterly period. MWPM is calculated by converting actual bandwidth consumption into minutes watched, using Rumble management's best estimate of video resolution quality mix and various encoding parameters. Bandwidth consumption includes video traffic across the entire Rumble platform (website, apps, embedded video, connected TV, etc.), as well as what Rumble management believes is a nominal amount of non-video traffic. Bandwidth consumption does not include consumption from the Locals platform.
