"2022 was a year of major change for Comscore and I'm extremely proud of what our teams have been able to accomplish," said Jon Carpenter, CEO of Comscore. "As I've mentioned, our focus has been on speed, execution and profitability. In 2022 we launched Comscore TV Pulse, which delivers local TV data within 48 hours, and we introduced our new Total Digital user interface that provides a combined view of our digital and social data. We also made strategic decisions related to our cost structure that enabled us to achieve adjusted EBITDA of $37 million, the highest we've had in many years. We did what we said we were going to do, and that has given us momentum as we head into 2023. As the company that provides the most complete view of audiences for both content and ads, I believe we are well positioned for continued success."
Fourth Quarter Summary Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter was $98.2 million, up 1.8% from $96.5 million in Q4 2021, driven by double-digit growth in Cross Platform Solutions revenue from local and national TV measurement. We saw a decline in Digital Ad Solutions revenue from Q4 2021 primarily as a result of slower ad spend, which impacted Activation and other digital products.
Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $87.9 million, down 5.4% compared to $92.9 million in Q4 2021.
Net income for the quarter was $0.1 million, compared to net income of $2.9 million in Q4 2021. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(0.04), compared to loss per share of $(0.01) in Q4 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million, compared to $12.4 million in Q4 2021, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 12.2% and 12.9%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude stock-based compensation, impairment charges, change in fair value of contingent consideration, warrants liability, debt extinguishment costs, amortization of cloud-computing implementation costs, restructuring costs and other items as presented in the accompanying tables.
Full-Year Summary Results
Revenue for 2022 was $376.4 million, up 2.6% compared to $367.0 million in 2021, driven by double-digit growth in Cross Platform Solutions revenue from local and national TV measurement and the continued rebound in our Movies business. Within Cross Platform Solutions, local and national TV revenue grew 25.7% and 12.6%, respectively, over 2021. We saw a decline in Digital Ad Solutions revenue from 2021 as a result of lower revenue from our international digital measurement offering along with slower ad spend, which impacted Activation and other digital products.
Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $371.9 million, up 0.3% compared to $370.8 million in 2021.
Net loss for the year was $66.6 million, compared to net loss of $50.0 million in 2021. Included in net loss for 2022 were a non-cash impairment charge of $46.3 million related to goodwill and restructuring costs of $5.8 million recorded in Q3 2022. Included in net loss for 2021 was a $15.3 million non-cash charge related to the convertible preferred stock transaction closed in Q1 2021. After accounting for dividends on convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(0.89), compared to loss per share of $(0.78) in 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $37.0 million, compared to $31.9 million in 2021, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 9.8% and 8.7%, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2022, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $20.4 million. Total debt principal, including $16.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit agreement, was $19.4 million.
2023 Outlook
Based on current trends and expectations, we believe 2023 revenue will increase low to mid single digits over 2022, driven by continued growth in Cross Platform Solutions from our local and national TV offerings and growth in Digital Ad Solutions as we focus on product integrations and new product innovation. We expect an adjusted EBITDA margin in the double digits for 2022.
We do not provide GAAP net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty our future stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments, variable interest expense, litigation and restructuring expense and any unusual gains or losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we are unable without unreasonable effort to provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income (loss), on a forward-looking basis.
Conference Call Information for Today, Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. ET

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal and state securities laws, including, without limitation, our expectations, forecasts, plans and opinions regarding expected revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2023, the impact of new customer contracts and partnerships on our business and revenue prospects, evolving economic and industry trends, currency opportunities, product integration and innovation, and restructuring plans and cost-reduction initiatives. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from expectations, including, but not limited to, changes in our business and customer, partner and vendor relationships; external market conditions and competition; changes or declines in ad spending or other macroeconomic factors; evolving privacy and regulatory standards; and our ability to achieve our expected strategic, financial and operational plans, including the restructuring plan we announced in September 2022. For additional discussion of risk factors, please refer to our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings that we make from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. We do not intend or undertake, and expressly disclaim, any duty or obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the date of this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we are disclosing in this press release adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, as they permit our investors to view our core business performance using the same metrics that management uses to evaluate our performance. Nevertheless, our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Instead, you should consider these measures alongside GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income (loss), various cash flow metrics, and our other GAAP financial results. Set forth below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss). These reconciliations should be carefully evaluated.
