Stefanie Jay was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. ___________________________________________________ 1 Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 2 Media spend is defined as the media spend activated on behalf of our Retail Media clients and our Performance Media clients. 3 Constant currency measures exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is computed by applying the prior year monthly exchange rates to transactions denominated in settlement or billing currencies other than the U.S. dollar. 4 Same-retailer Contribution ex-TAC retention is the Contribution ex-TAC generated by clients that were live with us in a given quarter and are still live with us in the same quarter in the following year. Financial Summary Revenue for Q2 2025 was $483 million, gross profit was $259 million and Contribution ex-TAC was $292 million. Net income for Q2 2025 was $23 million. This represents $0.39 per share on a diluted basis. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was $89 million, resulting in an adjusted diluted EPS of $0.92. As reported, revenue for Q2 increased 2%, gross profit increased 11% and Contribution ex-TAC increased 9%. At constant currency, revenue for Q2 2025 was flat and Contribution ex-TAC increased 7%. Cash flow from operating activities was $(1) million in Q2 2025 and Free Cash Flow was $(36) million in Q2 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had $241 million in cash and marketable securities on our balance sheet. Sarah Glickman, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our diversified offering and global client base. We are raising our full-year 2025 guidance and remain confident in our business strategy, as demonstrated by the deployment of $104 million for share repurchases in the first half of 2025." Second Quarter 2025 Results Revenue, Gross Profit and Contribution ex-TAC Revenue increased 2% year-over-year in Q2 2025, or was flat at constant currency, to $483 million (Q2 2024: $471 million). Gross profit increased 11% year-over-year in Q2 2025 to $259 million (Q2 2024: $233 million). Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross profit margin, was 54% (Q2 2024: 49%). Contribution ex-TAC in the second quarter increased 9% year-over-year, or increased 7% at constant currency, to $292 million (Q2 2024: $267 million). Retail Media revenue increased 11%, or 11% at constant currency, reflecting continued strength in Retail Media onsite. Retail Media Contribution ex-TAC increased 11%, or 11% at constant currency, driven by continued strength in Retail Media onsite, new client integrations and growing network effects of the platform. Performance Media revenue increased 1%, or decreased (1)% at constant currency, and Performance Media Contribution ex-TAC increased 9%, or 6% at constant currency, driven by the traction of our suite of commerce solutions helping advertisers drive measurable performance across the entire buyer journey, partially offset by lower AdTech services. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Net income was $23 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: net income: $28 million). Net income allocated to shareholders of Criteo was $21 million, or $0.39 per share on a diluted basis (Q2 2024: net income allocated to shareholders of $27 million, or $0.46 per share on a diluted basis). Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $51 million, or $0.92 per share on a diluted basis (Q2 2024: $64 million, or $1.08 per share on a diluted basis). Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Expenses Adjusted EBITDA was $89 million, representing a decrease of (4)% year-over-year (Q2 2024: $93 million). This was driven by planned growth investments, including investments in our people and marketing events, partially offset by higher Contribution ex-TAC over the period. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC, or Adjusted EBITDA margin, was 31% (Q2 2024: 35%). Operating expenses increased 16% year-over-year to $228 million (Q2 2024: $196 million), mostly driven by planned growth investments and the accelerated amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased 18% year-over-year to $175 million (Q2 2024: $149 million). Cash Flow, Cash and Financial Liquidity Position Cash flow from operating activities was $(1) million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: $17 million). Free Cash Flow, defined as cash flow from operating activities less acquisition and disposals of intangible assets, property and equipment was $(36) million in Q2 2025: (Q2 2024: $(4) million). On a trailing 12-month basis, Free Cash Flow was $194 million. Cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, were $241 million, a $(91) million decrease compared to December 31, 2024, after spending $(104) million on share repurchases in the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total financial liquidity of approximately $746 million, including its cash position, marketable securities, revolving credit facility and treasury shares reserved for M&A. 2025 Business Outlook The following forward-looking statements reflect Criteo's expectations as of July 30, 2025. Fiscal year 2025 guidance: We now expect Contribution ex-TAC to grow +3% to +4% at constant currency, compared to our previous guidance of low-single-digit growth at constant currency. Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 33% to 34% of Contribution ex-TAC. Third quarter 2025 guidance: Contribution ex-TAC between $277 million and $283 million, or +5% to +7% year-over-year at constant-currency. Adjusted EBITDA between $81 million and $87 million. The above guidance for the third quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 assumes the following exchange rates for the main currencies impacting our business: a U.S. dollar-euro rate of 0.909, a U.S. dollar-Japanese Yen rate of 150, a U.S. dollar-British Pound rate of 0.776, a U.S. dollar-Korean Won rate of 1,411 and a U.S. dollar-Brazilian Real rate of 5.81. The above guidance assumes that no additional acquisitions are completed during the third quarter of 2025. Reconciliations of Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to the closest corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of equity awards compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our share price. The variability of the above charges could potentially have a significant impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release and its attachments include the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"): Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses. These measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Contribution ex-TAC is a profitability measure akin to gross profit. It is calculated by deducting traffic acquisition costs from revenue and reconciled to gross profit through the exclusion of other costs of revenue. Contribution ex-TAC is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included Contribution ex-TAC because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. In particular, we believe that this measure can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Contribution ex-TAC provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA is our consolidated earnings before financial income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity related compensation, which includes employee equity awards compensation and director fees for share purchases, pension service costs, certain acquisition costs, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, and other nonrecurring or noncash items impacting net income that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Adjusted Net Income is our net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity related compensation, which includes employee equity awards compensation and director fees for share purchases, amortization of acquisition-related assets, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, certain acquisition costs, other nonrecurring or noncash items impacting net income that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance, and the tax impact of these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted diluted EPS are key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted diluted EPS can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted diluted EPS provide useful information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less acquisition of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and change in accounts payable related to intangible assets, property and equipment. Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion are key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion permit a more complete and comprehensive analysis of our available cash flows. Non-GAAP Operating Expenses are our consolidated operating expenses adjusted to eliminate equity related compensation, which includes employee equity awards compensation and director fees for share purchases, amortization of acquisition-related assets, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, certain acquisition costs, other nonrecurring or noncash items. The Company uses Non-GAAP Operating Expenses to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short-term and long-term operational plans, and to assess and measure our financial performance and the ability of our operations to generate cash. We believe Non-GAAP Operating Expenses reflects our ongoing operating expenses in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business. As a result, we believe that Non-GAAP Operating Expenses provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our core operating performance and trends in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across periods. In addition, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses is a key component in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the key measures the Company uses to provide its quarterly and annual business outlook to the investment community. Please refer to the supplemental financial tables provided in the appendix of this press release for a reconciliation of Contribution ex-TAC to gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA to net income, Adjusted Net Income to net income, Free Cash Flow to cash flow from operating activities, and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses to operating expenses, in each case, the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: 1) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; and 2) other companies may report Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently or over different regions, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider these measures alongside our U.S. GAAP financial results, including revenue and net income.
