When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is designed to,” “may,” “might,” "objective," “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” "project," "seek," “should,” "will," "would," or the negative of these and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

    You should refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and to our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") have been prepared by Criteo in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates in our financial statements include, but are not limited to, (1) gross versus net assessment in revenue recognition (2) income taxes, (3) assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets including intangible assets, and goodwill, (4) assumptions surrounding the recognition and valuation of contingent liabilities and losses.

Significant Accounting Policies

Reportable Segments

Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, the Company has changed its segment reporting structure to two reportable segments: Retail Media and Performance Media, which combines our former Marketing Solutions and Iponweb segments, to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance.

As such, prior period segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments. This change in accounting policy did not impact our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion.

Goodwill Interim Impairment Evaluation

The Company's goodwill balance was $519.9 million and $524.2 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We assess goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As noted above, during the first quarter 2024, the Company made a change to its operating and reportable segments from three to two segments: Retail Media and Performance Media. As a result of this change, we reassessed our reporting units for the evaluation of goodwill. Prior to this change, consistent with the determination that we had three operating/reportable segment, we determined that we had three reporting units for goodwill assessment purposes. Our reassessment during the first quarter of 2024 determined that, consistent with the determination that we had two operating/ reportable segments, we also have two reporting units for goodwill assessment purposes: Retail Media and Performance Media.

9

As a result of this change in reporting units, effective January 1, 2024, we estimated the fair value of our new reporting units and, based on an assessment of the relative fair values of our new reporting units after the change, we determined that the goodwill held by the Iponweb reportable unit was now allocated to the Performance Media reporting unit. This determination was largely based on the fact that the operations of the previous Iponweb operating segment/ reporting unit are significantly integrated with the Performance Media operating segment / reportable unit. The change in reporting units was also considered a triggering event indicating a test for goodwill impairment was required as of January 1, 2024 before and after the change in reporting units. The Company performed those impairment tests, which did not result in the identification of an impairment loss as of January 1, 2024.

Goodwill allocated to the two reportable segments and the changes in the carrying amount for the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:

	Retail Media		Performance Media		Total
Balance at January 1, 2024	$	149,680	$	374,517	$	524,197
Acquisitions	—		—		—

Impairments	—		—		—
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	148,636	$	371,288	$	519,924

There have been no other significant changes to our accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

There have been no recently issued accounting standards adopted during the period which had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

There are no recently issued accounting standards that are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Note 2. Segment information

The Company reports segment information based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, the Company changed its segment reporting structure and reports its results of operations through the following two segments: Retail Media and Performance Media.

–Retail Media: This segment encompasses revenue generated from brands, agencies and retailers for the purchase and sale of retail media digital advertising inventory and audiences, and services.

–Performance Media: This segment encompasses commerce activation, monetization, and services.

The Company's CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each segment using information about Contribution excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs (Contribution ex-TAC), which is our segment profitability measure and reflects our gross profit plus other costs of revenue. The Company's CODM does not review any other financial information for our two segments.

The following table shows revenue by reportable segment:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Lock up shares

On August 1, 2022, 2,960,243 treasury shares were transferred to the Founder (referred to as Lock Up Shares or "LUS"), as partial consideration for the Iponweb Acquisition. These shares are subject to a lock-up period that expires in three installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Iponweb Acquisition, unless the vesting schedule changes or the Founder's employment agreement is terminated under certain circumstances during the duration of such lock-up period. These shares are considered as equity settled share-based payments under ASC 718 and are accounted over the three-year lock-up period. The share based compensation expense is included in Research and Development expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The shares were valued based on the volume weighted average price of one ADS traded on Nasdaq during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding July 28, 2022.

A total of 536,452 shares have been granted at target under this plan with a vesting period of three years. The target shares are subject to a range of vesting from 0% to 200% based on the performance of internal financial metrics, for a maximum number of shares of 1,072,906. The grant-date fair value is determined based on the fair-value of the shares at the grant date, which is €29.88 per share for a total fair value of approximately $17.4 million, to be expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period. The number of shares granted, vesting and outstanding subject to performance conditions is as follows:

Awards that are subject to a market condition are earned based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the Nasdaq Composite Index, and certain other vesting conditions. A total of 268,226 shares have been granted at target under this plan, to be earned in two equal tranches over a term of two and three years, respectively. The target shares are subject to a range of vesting from 0% to 200% for each tranche based on the TSR, for a maximum number of shares of 536,452. The grant-date fair value is approximately $13.7 million, to be expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period.

The grant-date fair value was determined based on a Monte-Carlo valuation model using the following key assumptions:

Expected volatility of the Company	42.73	%
Expected volatility of the benchmark	71.18	%
Risk-free rate	4.27	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%

Note 11. Financial and Other Income and Expenses

The condensed consolidated statements of income line item “Financial and Other income” can be broken down as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Financial income from cash equivalents	$	1,640	$	1,072	$	3,829	$	2,135
Interest and fees	(409)		(577)		(832)		(1,063)
Foreign exchange gains (losses)	(1,437)		(1,003)		(559)		(2,952)
Discounting impact	12		(1,419)		(1,766)		(2,099)
Other financial income	(90)		75		225		8,954
Total Financial and Other Income (Expense)	$	(284)	$	(1,852)	$	897	$	4,975

The $0.9 million in financial and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were mainly driven by financial income from cash equivalents, partially offset by a negative impact of foreign exchange loss and the change in the accretion of the earn-out liability related to the Iponweb Acquisition.

As of June 30, 2024, our exposure to foreign currency risk was centralized at Criteo S.A. and hedged using foreign currency swaps or forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items arising in the period. To calculate our estimated AETR, we estimate our income before taxes and the related tax expense or benefit for the full fiscal year (total of expected current and deferred tax provisions), excluding the effect of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items or comprehensive income items not recognized in the statement of income. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated annual tax rate does change, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately predict our income (loss) before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside of France.

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of a minimum rate of 15% for multinational companies with consolidated revenue above €750 million. Numerous jurisdictions have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate. While the adoption of Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the first six months of 2024, the Company will continue to assess the ongoing impact as additional guidance becomes available.

The following table presents provision for income taxes:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Provision for income tax (expense) benefit	$	(11,564)	$	3,517

The $(11.6) million provision for income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by profits from operations.

The six months ended June 30, 2024 provision for income taxes mainly differs from the nominal standard French rate of 25.0% due to the application of a reduced income tax rate on the majority of the technology royalties income in France and nondeductible equity awards compensation expense.

Note 13. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") by dividing the net income or loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Criteo S.A.	$	26,987	$	(2,876)	$	34,231	$	(14,685)
Weighted average number of shares outstanding	54,684,560		55,924,824		54,915,140		56,094,887
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.49	$	(0.05)	$	0.62	$	(0.26)

Diluted Earnings Per Share

We calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing the net income or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares not yet issued from share-based compensation plans (refer to Note 10). For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported a net loss hence basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

For each period presented, a contract to issue a certain number of shares (i.e., share option, non-employee warrant, employee warrant ("BSPCE")) is assessed as potentially dilutive if it is “in the money” (i.e., the exercise or settlement price is lower than the average market price).

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Criteo S.A.	$	26,987	$	(2,876)	$	34,231	$	(14,685)
Basic shares :
Weighted average number of shares outstanding of Criteo S.A.	54,684,560		55,924,824		54,915,140		56,094,887
Dilutive effect of :
Restricted share awards ("RSUs")	2,766,726		—		2,880,402		—
Lock-up shares ('LUSs")	1,333,396		—		1,187,404		—
Share options and BSPCE	118,366		—		107,565		—
Share warrants	71,138		—		61,072		—
Diluted shares :
Weighted average number of shares outstanding used to determine diluted earnings per share	58,974,186		55,924,824		59,151,582		56,094,887
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.46	$	(0.05)	$	0.58	$	(0.26)

The weighted average number of securities that were anti-dilutive for diluted EPS for the periods presented but which could potentially dilute EPS in the future are as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023
Restricted share awards	454,891	248,911
Share options and BSPCE	—	—
Weighted average number of anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted earnings per share	454,891	248,911

Note 14. Commitments and contingencies

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

The amount of the provisions represents management’s latest estimate of the expected impact.

Legal and Regulatory matters

Following a complaint from Privacy International against a number of advertising technology companies with certain data protection authorities, including in France, France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (the "CNIL") opened a formal investigation in January 2020 against Criteo. In June 2023, the CNIL issued its decision, which retained alleged European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") violations but reduced the financial sanction against Criteo from the original amount of €60 million ($64.2 million) to €40 million ($42.8 million). Criteo issued the required sanction payment during the third quarter of 2023. The decision relates to past matters and does not include any obligation for Criteo to change its current practices. Criteo has appealed this decision before the French Council of State (Conseil d’Etat).

We are party to a claim (Doe v. GoodRx Holdings, Inc. et al. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California), alleging violations of various state and federal laws. We intend to vigorously defend our position, but we are unable to predict the potential outcome.

Non income tax risks

We have recorded a $31.9 million provision related to certain non income tax items accounted for as a contingency under ASC 450. These risks were identified and recognized as part of the Iponweb Acquisition. We have recorded an indemnification asset in the full amount of the provision as the Company is indemnified against certain tax liabilities under the Framework Purchase Agreement (FPA). The indemnification asset is recorded as part of "Other non current assets" on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on February 23, 2024. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors."

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we present Contribution ex-TAC, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Contribution ex-TAC as 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 presented in the section entitled "Contribution excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs", which includes a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Gross Profit. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our consolidated earnings before financial income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, certain acquisition costs and a loss contingency related to a regulatory matter. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the section entitled "Adjusted EBITDA", which includes a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Net Income. We also present revenues, traffic acquisition costs and Contribution ex-TAC on a constant currency basis; these measures exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and are computed by applying the average exchange rates for the prior year to the current year figures. A reconciliation is provided in the section entitled "Constant Currency Reconciliation".

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. As required by the rules of the SEC, we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this document to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP.

Current quarter financial highlights

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue increased by 1% to $471.3 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by growth in Retail Media. At constant currency, revenue increased by 3%.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 17% to $232.8 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, mainly due to revenue growth and lower traffic acquisition costs.

Contribution ex-TAC for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 11% to $267.1 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by growth across both segments. At constant currency, Contribution ex-TAC increased by 14%.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $28.1 million, primarily due to growth in gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 67% to $93.4 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher Contribution ex-TAC over the period and disciplined cost management.

Cash flow from operating activities was $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in the prior year, as a result of the positive trends in our income from operations.

Trends, Opportunities and Challenges

We believe our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges, including those referred to in Part I, Item 1A of our risk factor section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Develop and Scale our Commerce Media Platform

Our future growth depends upon our ability to retain and scale our existing clients and increase the usage of our Commerce Media platform as well as adding new customers. We believe that we are in a leading position in the Commerce Media space as we have unique commerce data at scale, deep integrations with retailers, a large client base, differentiated technology and a R&D powerhouse. By unifying the Commerce Media ecosystem with a multi-retailer, multi-channel, multi-format approach and providing full funnel closed loop measurement to our clients, we believe we are well positioned to capture more ad budgets and market share.

Business and Macroeconomic Conditions

Global economic and geopolitical conditions have been volatile due to factors such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflation, and high interest rates. The economic uncertainty resulting from these factors may negatively impact advertising demand, consumer behavior, and to some extent, our performance.

These factors, among others, including the impact of persistent inflation, make it difficult for Criteo and our clients to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause the company's clients to reduce or delay their advertising spending or increase their cautiousness, which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are monitoring these macroeconomic conditions closely and may continue to take actions in response to such conditions to the extent they adversely affect our business.

Seasonality

In the advertising industry, companies commonly experience seasonal fluctuations in revenue, as many marketers allocate the largest portion of their budgets to the third and fourth quarter of the calendar year in order to coincide with increased back-to-school and holiday purchasing. Historically, the fourth quarter has reflected our highest level of advertising activity for the year. We generally expect the subsequent first quarter to reflect lower activity levels, but this trend may be masked due to the growth of our business.

In addition, historical seasonality may not be predictive of future results given the potential for changes in advertising buying patterns and consumer activity due to the potential impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions discussed above.

We expect our revenue to continue to fluctuate based on seasonal factors that affect the advertising industry as a whole.

28

Privacy Trends and Government Regulations

We are subject to U.S. and international laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, digital advertising and the collection of user data. In addition, large Internet and technology companies such as Google and Apple are making their own decisions as to how to protect consumer privacy with measures resulting in signal loss, which impact the entire digital ecosystem. While Google has recently announced that it will not pursue its original plan to fully phase out third-party cookies in Chrome, Google has proposed an updated approach that allows users to make an informed choice across web browsing that can be adjusted at any time. This proposal remains subject to consultation with the UK Competition and Market Authority, the Information Commissioner's Office and other global regulators. These developments could cause instability in the advertising technology industry. We have developed a multi-pronged addressability strategy to enhance our resilience post third-party identifiers.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $(30.7) million, or (11)%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $(24.5) million, or (11)% (or (9)% on a constant currency basis) in traffic acquisition costs driven by a lower average price partially offset by an increase in volume, and a decrease of $(6.2) million, or (15)% in other cost of revenue.

Traffic acquisition costs in Retail Media decreased by (15)%, or (15)% at constant currency, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Traffic acquisition costs in Performance Media decreased by (11)%, or (9)% at constant currency, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was driven by a (22)% decrease (or (20)% at constant currency) in the average cost per thousand impressions ("CPM") for inventory purchased, including lower CPMs for signal-limited environments where Criteo continues to perform, and a 14% increase in the number of impressions we purchased.

The decrease in other cost of revenue included a decrease in depreciation of servers, offset by other hosting costs.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $(61.4) million, or (12)%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $(52.7) million, or (12)% (or (10)% on a constant currency basis) in traffic acquisition costs driven by a lower average price partially offset by an increase in volume, and a decrease of $(8.6) million, or (11)% in other cost of revenue.

Traffic acquisition costs in Retail Media decreased by (7)%, or (8)% at constant currency, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Traffic acquisition costs in Performance Media decreased by (12)%, or (10)% at constant currency, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was driven by a (15)% decrease (or (13)% at constant currency) in the average cost per thousand impressions ("CPM") for inventory purchased, including lower CPMs for signal-limited environments where Criteo continues to perform, and a 4% increase in the number of impressions we purchased.

The decrease in other cost of revenue included a decrease in depreciation of servers, offset by other hosting costs.

Contribution excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs

We define Contribution excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs, "Contribution ex-TAC", as 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 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. Our use of Contribution ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; (b) other companies may report Contribution ex-TAC or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Contribution ex-TAC alongside our other GAAP financial measures.

The below table provides a reconciliation of Contribution ex-TAC to gross profit:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Gross Profit	$	232,845	$	199,782	$	450,068	$	381,291
Other Cost of Revenue	34,248		40,435		70,913		79,544
Contribution ex-TAC	$	267,093	$	240,217	$	520,981	$	460,835

We consider Contribution ex-TAC as a key measure of our business activity. Our strategy focuses on maximizing our Contribution ex-TAC on an absolute basis over maximizing our near-term gross margin. We believe this focus builds sustainable long-term value for our business by fortifying a number of our competitive strengths, including access to advertising inventory, breadth and depth of data and continuous improvement of our Criteo AI Engine’s performance, allowing it to deliver more relevant advertisements at scale. As part of this focus, we continue to invest in building preferred relationships with direct publishers and pursue access to leading advertising exchanges.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $(8.1) million or (12)% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is mainly related to a decrease in headcount-related costs and share based compensation expense, mostly related to the annual vesting of the Lock-up shares related to the Iponweb acquisition.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $(4.9) million or (4)% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is mainly related to a decrease in headcount-related costs and share based compensation expense, mostly related to the annual vesting of the Lock-up shares related to the Iponweb acquisition.

Sales and operations expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $(17.4) million or (16)% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease mainly related to a decrease in headcount-related costs and a decrease in bad debt expense.

Sales and operations expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $(25.8) million or (12)% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease mainly related to a decrease in headcount-related costs, a decrease in bad debt expense partially offset by an increase in share based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			% change	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			% change

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $22.7 million or 122%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase mainly relates to the partial reversal of the loss contingency on regulatory matters in 2023.

36

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $29.7 million or 51%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase mainly relates to the partial reversal of the loss contingency on regulatory matters in 2023 and adjustments to the Earn-out liability related to the Iponweb acquisition.

Financial and Other Income

	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			% change	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			% change

% of revenue	(0.1)		%	(0.4)		%		0.1		%	1		%

Financial and Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $(1.6) million or (85)% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is mainly related to financial income from cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a negative change in foreign exchange loss.

Financial and Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $(4.1) million or (82)% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is related to the disposal of non consolidated investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the accretion of the earn-out liability related to the Iponweb Acquisition, partially offset by the positive impact in foreign exchange gain and income from cash equivalents.

As of June 30, 2024, our exposure to foreign currency risk was centralized at Criteo S.A. and hedged using foreign currency swaps or forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies.

Provision for Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		% change	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		% change
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Provision for income tax (expense) benefit	$	(8,595)	$	(1,078)	697%	$	(11,564)	$	3,517	(429)%

Provision for income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $7.5 million or 697% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of the income tax provision reflected the higher profitability and the lower operating expenses.

Provision for income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $15.1 million or (429)% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by higher income from operations.

The provision for income taxes mainly differs from the nominal standard French rate of 25.0% due to the application of a reduced income tax rate on the majority of the technology royalties income in France and nondeductible equity awards compensation expense.

37

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our consolidated earnings before financial income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, and certain acquisition costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure 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-term and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the elimination of equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, certain restructuring, integration and transformation costs, and certain acquisition costs in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA 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. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our GAAP financial results, including net income.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	93,430	$	55,986	67%	$	164,109	$	94,709	73%

Adjusted EBITDA increased $37.4 million, or 67%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher Contribution ex-TAC.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $69.4 million, or 73%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher Contribution ex-TAC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2024 were held for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include acquisitions, and amounted to $291.7 million as of June 30, 2024. The $(119.6) million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash compared to December 31, 2023, primarily resulted from a decrease of $(102.1) million in cash used for financing activities, a decrease of $(35.2) million in cash used for investing activities partially offset by an increase of $31.2 million in cash provided by operating activities over the period. Our policy is to invest any cash in excess of our immediate requirements in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in demand deposit accounts that are currently providing only a minimal return.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, on September 27, 2022, the Company entered into a new five year Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, the "RCF") that allows immediate access to an additional €407.0 million ($435.7 million) of liquidity, which, combined with our cash position, marketable securities and treasury shares as of June 30, 2024, provides total liquidity above $675.5 million. Overall, we believe that our current financial liquidity, combined with our expected cash-flow generation in 2024, enables financial flexibility.

Share buy-back programs

In December 2021, we completed a $100.0 million share repurchase program. In 2022, we completed an additional $136.0 million share repurchase program, and in 2023, we completed an additional $125.0 million share repurchase program. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we have repurchased $102.5 million of shares.

All above programs have been implemented under our multi-year authorization granted by our Board of Directors. On February 1, 2024, this authorization was extended to a total amount of $630.0 million. Other than these repurchase programs, we intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund our growth.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. We therefore believe that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our capital expenditures were $(34.3) million and $(78.7) million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, these capital expenditures were mainly comprised of acquisition of data center, server equipment, and software development costs. We expect our capital expenditures to remain at around 7% of Contribution ex-TAC for 2024, as we plan to continue to build, reshape and maintain additional data center equipment capacity in all regions and we increase our investments to further develop our Commerce Media Platform.

We currently anticipate that our available funds and cash flow from operations and financing activities will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs and fund our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. We continuously evaluate our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital, to ensure we can finance our future capital requirements.

Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, the amount and timing of our investments in personnel and capital equipment, and the timing and extent of our introduction of new products and product enhancements.

If our cash and cash equivalents balances and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings to support our operations, and such financings may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

39

We may also need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets or products.

If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, our operations and ability to execute our business strategy could be adversely affected. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to our shareholders.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Cash (used for) from operating activities	$	31,204	$	43,292
Cash (used for) from investing activities	$	(35,157)	$	(88,337)
Cash (used for) from financing activities	$	(102,098)	$	(96,117)

Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities is driven by an increase in the number of clients using our solutions and by the amount of cash we invest in personnel to support the anticipated growth of our business. Cash flow from operating activities has typically been generated from changes in our operating assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, deferred tax assets and income taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities mostly consisted of net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items, such as amortization and provision expense of $46.3 million, and equity awards compensation expense of $48.0 million, partially offset by $(88.0) million of changes in working capital. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was mainly due to higher trade payables.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities to date consist primarily of purchases of servers and other data-center equipment, software development costs, and business acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used for investing activities was $(35.2) million and primarily driven by purchases of data-center and capitalized software development costs of $(34.3) million, $(0.5) million release of holdback liability, and $(0.3) million change from the maturity of investments in Marketable Securities.

Cash used for investing activities decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to lower capital expenditures for our data centers compared to the previous period, and due to proceeds from the sale of a non consolidated investment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used for financing activities was $(102.1) million, due to the repurchasing of shares of $(102.5) million. The increase in cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was mostly due to an increase in the amount of shares repurchased.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2024, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Criteo have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

PART II

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

For a discussion of our legal proceedings, refer to Note 14. Commitments and contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. If any such risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed and the trading price of our American Depositary Shares could decline. These risks are not exclusive and additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. The following risk factor is provided to update the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 2, 2024. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Our ability to generate revenue depends on our collection of significant amounts of data from various sources, which may be restricted by consumer choice, clients, publishers, browsers or other software, changes in technology, and new developments in laws, regulations and industry standards.

Our ability to optimize the delivery of internet advertisements for our clients depends on our ability to successfully leverage data, including data that we collect from our clients, data we receive from our publisher partners and third parties, and data from our own operating history. Using cookies and non-cookie based mechanisms, such as hashed emails, hashed customer log-ins, mobile phone numbers or mobile advertising identifiers, we collect information about the interactions of users with our clients’ and publishers’ digital properties (including, for example, information about the placement of advertisements and users’ shopping or other interactions with our clients’ websites or advertisements). Our ability to successfully leverage such data depends on our continued ability to access and use such data, which could be restricted by a number of factors, including consumer choices, restrictions imposed by counterparties (such as clients, supply sources and publishers, who may also compete with us for advertising spend and inventory), web browser developers or other software developers, changes in technology, including changes in web browser technology, increased visibility of consent or “do not track” mechanisms or “ad-blocking” software, the emergence of new opt-out signals such as “Global Privacy Control” and “Global Privacy Platform”, and new developments in, or new interpretations of, laws, regulations and industry standards. These types of restrictions could materially impair the results of our operations.

Web browser developers, such as Apple, Mozilla Foundation, Microsoft or Google, have implemented or may implement changes in browser or device functionality that impair our ability to understand the preferences of consumers, including by limiting the use of third-party cookies or other tracking technologies or data indicating or predicting consumer preferences. Today, four major web browsers — Apple’s Safari, Mozilla’s Firefox, Microsoft’s Edge, and Samsung Internet Browser — block third-party cookies by default. Internet users can also delete cookies from their computers and mobile devices at any time. While Google has recently announced that it will not pursue its original plan to fully phase out third-party cookies in Chrome, Google has proposed an updated framework that allows users to make an informed choice across web browsing that can be adjusted any time, which proposal remains subject to consultation with the UK Competition and Market Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office and other global regulators. Google controls more than 60% of the browser market and has an even more dominant position in the digital advertising market. These web browser developers have significant resources at their disposal and command substantial market share, and any restrictions they impose could foreclose our ability to understand the preferences of a substantial number of consumers.

Although we are actively in the process of moving our business away from third-party cookies towards relying more on first-party data-based and other identifiers, if we are blocked from serving advertisements to a significant portion of internet users, our business could suffer and our results of operations could be harmed.

44

Similarly, Internet users are increasingly able to download free or paid “ad-blocking” software, including on mobile devices, which prevent third-party cookies from being stored on a user’s computer and block advertisements from being displayed to such user. In addition, Google has introduced ad blocking software in its Chrome browser that blocks certain ads based on quality standards established under a multi-stakeholder coalition. If such a feature inadvertently or mistakenly blocks ads that are not within the established blocking standards, or if such capabilities become widely adopted and the advertising technology industry does not collaboratively develop alternative technologies, our business could be harmed. The Interactive Advertising Bureau and Digital Advertising Alliance have also developed frameworks that allow users to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information under the CCPA, in ways that stop or severely limit the ability to show targeted ads.

In addition, search engines and other service providers that explicitly do not allow the tracking of data may be growing in popularity. If a significant number of web browser users switch to advertising-free services or platforms, our business could be materially impacted. Further, mobile devices allow users to opt out of the use of mobile device IDs for targeted advertising.

For in-app advertising, data regarding interactions between users and devices are tracked mostly through stable, pseudonymous mobile device identifiers that are built into the device operating system with privacy controls that allow users to express a preference with respect to data collection for advertising, including to disable the identifier. These identifiers and privacy controls are defined by the developers of the mobile platforms and could be changed by the mobile platforms in a way that may negatively impact our business. For example, Apple now requires user opt-in before permitting access to Apple’s unique identifier, or IDFA. This shift from enabling user opt-out to an opt-in requirement has had, and is likely to continue to have, a substantial impact on the mobile advertising ecosystem and could harm our growth in this channel.

User privacy features of other channels of programmatic advertising, such as Connected TV or over-the-top video, are still developing. Technical or policy changes, including regulation or industry self-regulation, could harm our growth in those channels.

The data we gather is important to the continued development and success of Criteo Shopper Graph, which is a key element of the Criteo Commerce Media Platform. If too few of our clients provide us with the permission to share their data or if our clients choose to stop sharing their data, or if regulatory or other factors inhibit or restrict us from maintaining the data collectives underlying Criteo Shopper Graph, the value of Criteo Shopper Graph could be materially diminished, which could impact the performance of our products and materially impact our business.

In addition, our ability to collect and use data may be restricted or prevented by a number of other factors, including:

•     the failure of our, or our clients’, network, hardware, or software systems;

•     our inability to grow our client and publisher base in new industry verticals and geographic markets in order to obtain the critical mass of data necessary for Criteo AI Engine to perform optimally in such new industry verticals or geographic markets;

•     malicious traffic (such as non-human traffic) that introduces “noise” in the information that we collect from clients and publishers; and

•     interruptions, failures or defects in our data collection, mining, analysis and storage systems, including due to our reliance on external third-party providers for cloud computing services and data center hosting services, in a competitive market subject to close legal and regulatory scrutiny.

Any of the above-described limitations could also harm our business and adversely impact our future results of operations.
