Criteo次季收入遜預期 下調全年指引並委任新財務總監
AI 繁中摘要
Criteo公佈2026年第二季度業績,收入表現遜預期,同時宣佈委任新任財務總監,並下調全年指引。📉
**申報類型:8-K(業績公告)**
**第二季度(截至2026年6月30日)財務重點:**
Criteo(納斯達克:CRTO)第二季度收入為4.28億美元,按年下跌11%(按固定匯率計同跌11%);毛利2.22億美元,按年跌14%。Non-GAAP的Contribution ex-TAC為2.55億美元,按年跌13%(固定匯率計跌12%)。經調整EBITDA為7,300萬美元,按年跌18%,利潤率約29%。淨利潤為1,200萬美元,經調整攤薄每股盈利0.80美元,按年少13%。
**業務亮點:**
- **新任CFO**
委任Connor McGogney為財務總監,8月10日生效,接替任職六年的Sarah Glickman,後者留任顧問至9月底確保順利交接。
- **零售媒體(Retail Media)業務承壓**
收入下跌21%(固定匯率計跌22%),主要受兩個特定客戶的範圍變更帶來2,100萬美元負面影響;若剔除該影響,基礎客戶群的Contribution ex-TAC增長20%。期內新增加拿大Loblaw Advance、歐洲Monoprix及Druni、亞太區Olive Young等零售合作夥伴。
- **Performance Media收入跌10%**
Commerce Growth表現疲軟,AdTech Services按年趨勢改善。
- **AI合作進展**
作為OpenAI首個廣告科技合作夥伴,現已有超過2,000個品牌在七個國家於ChatGPT上投放廣告,並計劃拓展墨西哥及巴西市場。
- **資本運用**
上半年回購股份共動用6,100萬美元,其中第二季度為3,000萬美元。
- **公司遷冊**
完成從法國遷冊至盧森堡,董事會已批准後續遷冊至美國,預計2027年1月完成,須待股東批准。
**管理層展望:**
CEO Michael Komasinski承認第二季度收入表現令人失望,但強調長期戰略不變,對Commerce Intelligence策略保持信心,並會加強執行力及業務多元化。
公司下調全年指引:現預計2026全年Contribution ex-TAC按固定匯率下跌10%至12%(此前預期較樂觀);經調整EBITDA利潤率約30%。第三季度Contribution ex-TAC預計介乎2.37億至2.41億美元,經調整EBITDA介乎5,400萬至5,800萬美元,反映兩個零售媒體客戶範圍變更的暫影響。
**對投資者的潛在影響:**
第二季度收入及盈利均遜預期,管理層以「保守」態度下調全年指引,反映短期業務趨勢轉弱。零售媒體業務增長依賴扣除特定客戶後的基礎表現,AI廣告變現仍屬早期階段。公司財務狀況穩健,截至6月底現金及有價證券共3.03億美元,總財務流動性約7.67億美元。全年指引下調或令市場下調盈利預測,投資者需留意第三季度能否止跌回穩。🔍

Second Quarter 2026 Results
Revenue, Gross Profit and Contribution ex-TAC
Revenue decreased (11)% year-over-year in Q2 2026, or decreased (11)% at constant currency, to $428 million (Q2 2025: $483 million). Gross profit decreased (14)% year-over-year in Q2 2026 to $222 million (Q2 2025: $259 million). Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross profit margin, was 52% (Q2 2025: 54%). Contribution ex-TAC in the second quarter decreased (13)% year-over-year, or decreased (12)% at constant currency, to $255 million (Q2 2025: $292 million).
•Retail Media revenue decreased (21)%, or (22)% at constant currency, and Retail Media Contribution ex-TAC decreased (21)%, or (22)% at constant currency, reflecting a $21 million headwind from previously communicated scope changes with two specific Retail Media clients, partially offset by strong growth across the broader retail partner base. Excluding this impact, Contribution ex-TAC grew 20% in Q2 across the underlying client base.
•Performance Media revenue decreased (10)%, or decreased (9)% at constant currency, and Performance Media Contribution ex-TAC decreased (10)%, or decreased (10)% at constant currency, reflecting soft performance in Commerce Growth, partially offset by improved year-over-year trends in AdTech Services.
Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Net income was $12 million in Q2 2026 (Q2 2025: net income: $23 million). Net income allocated to shareholders of Criteo was $11 million, or $0.22 per share on a diluted basis (Q2 2025: net income allocated to shareholders of $21 million, or $0.39 per share on a diluted basis).
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $41 million, or $0.80 per share on a diluted basis (Q2 2025: $51 million, or $0.92 per share on a diluted basis).
Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Expenses
Adjusted EBITDA was $73 million (Q2 2025: $89 million), reflecting lower Contribution ex-TAC due to softness in Performance Media and the temporary impact of previously communicated scope changes with two specific Retail Media clients, along with planned growth investments, partially offset by lower than expected bad debt expense and lower than expected employee costs. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Contribution ex-TAC, or Adjusted EBITDA margin, was 29% (Q2 2025: 31%).
Operating expenses decreased (9)% year-over-year to $207 million (Q2 2025: $228 million), mostly due to rigor on resource allocation, productivity gains, and the non-recurrence of a company-wide event held in the previous year, partially offset by planned growth investments. Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased (10)% year-over-year to $158 million (Q2 2025: $175 million).
Cash Flow, Cash and Financial Liquidity Position
Cash flow from operating activities was $20 million in Q2 2026 (Q2 2025: $(1) million).
Free Cash Flow was $(38) million in Q2 2026 (Q2 2025: $(36) million). On a trailing 12-month basis, Free Cash Flow was $180 million.
Cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, were $303 million, a $(86) million decrease compared to December 31, 2025, after spending $61 million on share repurchases in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total financial liquidity of approximately $767 million, including $252 million of cash and cash equivalents, $51 million of marketable securities and $464 million available through its revolving credit facility.

2026 Business Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect Criteo’s expectations as of August 5, 2026. The Company's outlook is based on year-to-date performance and current business trends.
Fiscal year 2026 guidance:
•We now expect Contribution ex-TAC to decrease -12% to -10% at constant currency.
•We now expect an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 30% of Contribution ex-TAC.
Third quarter 2026 guidance:
•We expect Contribution ex-TAC between $237 million and $241 million, or -15% to -14% year-over-year at constant-currency.
•We expect Adjusted EBITDA between $54 million and $58 million.
The Company’s third quarter 2026 guidance reflects the temporary impact of previously communicated scope changes with two specific Retail Media clients.
The above guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 assumes the following exchange rates for the main currencies impacting our business: a U.S. dollar-euro rate of 0.86, a U.S. dollar-Japanese Yen rate of 159, a U.S. dollar-British Pound rate of 0.75, a U.S. dollar-Korean Won rate of 1,500 and a U.S. dollar-Brazilian Real rate of 5.16.
The above guidance assumes that no acquisitions and dispositions are completed during the third quarter of 2026 or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026.
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, employer social contribution expense related to employee equity award compensation, pension service costs, certain acquisition costs, certain restructuring and related costs, 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, employer social contribution expense related to employee equity award compensation, amortization of acquisition-related assets, certain restructuring and related costs, 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 net acquisition of 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 depreciation and amortization, equity related compensation, which includes employee equity awards compensation and director fees for share purchases, employer social contribution expense related to employee equity award compensation, pension service costs, certain restructuring and related costs, integration and transformation costs, certain acquisition costs, and 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, Contribution ex-TAC margin, 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.

Importantly, at this time, macro-economic conditions including inflation and fluctuating interest rates in the U.S. have impacted and may continue to impact Criteo's business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.
