Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Q4 results exceeded guidance across all financial measures

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2021	Q4 Guidance
Revenues	$408M	$392 - $396M
Gross Profit	$144M	$129 - $132M
ex-TAC Gross Profit	$169M	$163 - $165M
Adjusted EBITDA	$65M	$61 - $63M

○	Revenues grew $56 million or 16% year-over-year.

●

New digital property partners¹ drove $21 million of growth.

●

Existing digital property partners² grew $35 million which translates to net dollar retention³ - of 110% driven by improvement in yield as well as the inclusion of Connexity revenue.

○	Gross Profit grew $51 million or 54.4% year-over-year and ex-TAC Gross Profit grew $59 million or 53.5% year-over-year.

●

Growth driven by new digital properties and strong yield improvements as well as from inclusion of Connexity in our Q4 2021 results.

●

Contributing to the year-over-year increase was the voluntary repayment in Q4 of the prior year of $17 million in guaranteed TAC payments withheld in Q2 and Q3 of 2020.

○	Operating expenses grew $38 million or 44.1% year-over-year. The drivers include the inclusion of Connexity expenses, increase in amortization related to intangibles from the Connexity acquisition and higher public company expenses.

○	Net income of $0.6 million compared to net income of $2.8 million in Q4 2020.

○	Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million increased by $32 million year-over-year as higher gross profit more than offset higher operating expenses.

○	EPS was $0.00 per diluted share in the fourth quarter. The EPS was based on fully-diluted shares outstanding of 272 million.

○	Cash Flow from Operations decreased $35 million year-over-year and Free Cash Flow decreased $41 million year-over-year reflecting in part higher publisher prepayments due to the timing of renewals as well as higher tax payments.

¹New digital property partners within the first 12 months that were live on our network.

²Net growth of existing digital property partners, including the growth of new digital property partners (beyond the revenue contribution determined based on the run-rate revenue generated by them when they are first on-boarded).

³Net Dollar Retention is the net growth of existing digital property partners for the given period divided by the revenues from the same period in the prior-year.

*About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes ex-TAC Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit, Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Net Income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results.

You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding future financial and business trends relating to the Company. The Company believes that the use of these measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are excluded or included in calculating them, which may vary from period to period. Please refer to the appendix at the end of this press release for reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP.

¹For the 2021 periods, a substantial majority is Share-based compensation expenses related to going public.

²For 2020 periods, represents costs associated with the proposed strategic transaction with Outbrain Inc.which we elected not to consummate, and for 2021 periods, relates to the acquisition of ION Acquisition Corp. 1 Ltd., the acquisition of Connexity and going public.

³Represents share based compensation due to holdback of Taboola ordinary shares issuable under compensatory arrangements relating to Connexity acquisition.

We calculate Ratio of Net income (loss) to Gross profit as Net income (loss) divided by Gross profit. We calculate the Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC Gross Profit. We believe that the Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit is useful because TAC is what we must pay digital properties to obtain the right to place advertising on their websites, and we believe focusing on ex-TAC Gross Profit better reflects the profitability of our business. The following table reconciles Ratio of Net income (loss) to Gross Profit and Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit for the period shown.
