"Q2 was our first full quarter as a combined company, and we delivered results within our guidance. The response to the new Teads branding and performance value proposition has been incredibly energizing as our partners see the power of what we're building for advertisers and media owners across the open internet," said David Kostman, CEO of Teads.

"Though we remain confident in our long-term strategy, our outlook reflects the fact that certain integration benefits are taking longer to materialize. We have taken several actions to ensure our focus remains on reigniting growth in the second half of the year and into 2026 and generating positive free cash flow," added Kostman.

Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights:

Following the corporate name change from "Outbrain Inc." to "Teads Holding Co.", the Company's common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol "TEAD" at the open of the market on June 10, 2025, replacing its previous ticker symbol, "OB".
Repurchased $9.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 10% senior secured notes ("Notes") for approximately $8.0 million in cash, including accrued interest, representing a discount of approximately 17% to the principal amount of the repurchased Notes.
Continue to expect to realize at least $40 million of total synergies in 2025, and $65 million to $75 million of total synergies in 2026 with further opportunities for expanded synergies.
Expanded our Joint Business Partnerships with new signings including Kia and Zalando.
Over 500 advertisers spending at least half a million dollars over the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, representing approximately 70% of total customer spend, with an average spend per advertiser of over $2 million.
Grew Connected TV ("CTV") revenue by more than 80% year-over-year in Q2 2025 on a pro-forma basis.
- Secured premium homescreen inventory through new OEM partnerships, including Samsung.
- Launched Teads Audiences for CTV, bringing our Teads Omnichannel Household Graph to television to help advertisers identify and reach viewers at scale.
Introduced innovative ad formats that we believe reinforce our brand-to-performance differentiation, including the beta launch of Connected Ads—offering mid- and end-article placements for a single brand. Continued the scaling of our vertical experience offering, which includes Immersive Feeds (formerly Moments).
Launched Amplify MCP Server, introducing agentic AI for campaign management for direct response performance advertisers.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $343.1 million, an increase of $129.0 million, or 60%, compared to $214.1 million in the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition, including net favorable foreign currency effects of approximately $5.4 million.
Gross profit of $120.3 million, an increase of $74.7 million, or 164%, compared to $45.6 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 35.1%, compared to 21.3% in the prior year period, reflecting the higher gross margin profile of the acquired business.
Ex-TAC gross profit of $144.2 million, an increase of $88.2 million, or 158%, compared to $56.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the acquisition. Our Ex-TAC gross margin increased to 42.0%, compared to 26.1% in the prior year period, reflecting the higher margin profile of the acquired business.
Net loss of $14.3 million, compared to net loss of $2.2 million in the prior year period. Net loss in the current period includes pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $5.4 million and restructuring charges of $1.7 million related to our previously announced restructuring plan to streamline operations and reduce duplicative roles post-acquisition, partially offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the repurchase of a portion of our Notes.
Adjusted net loss of $9.7 million, compared to adjusted net income of $0.1 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA of $27.0 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million in the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $25.0 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $22.1 million, as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities were $166.1 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $149.4 million and short-term investments in marketable securities of $16.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
Total debt obligations were $620.6 million, including the $603.0 million carrying value of the Notes (principal amount of $628.2 million, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs) and $17.6 million (unchanged at €15.0 million) outstanding under a short-term overdraft facility assumed in the acquisition.

Third Quarter Guidance

The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the third quarter and full year of 2025.

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2025, we expect:

Ex-TAC gross profit of $133 million to $143 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $21 million to $29 million

For the full year, the Company expects to generate positive Free Cash Flow.

Considering that Q4 historically contributes nearly ~50% of annual Adjusted EBITDA for the combined business, and the unusually wide range of outcomes the Company currently sees for Q4 due to the impact of the post-merger integration, the Company made the decision not to reaffirm FY 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance. More details to be provided on the earnings call.

The above measures are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable efforts. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. In addition, our guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties, as outlined below in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP performance measures, we use the following supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, and allocate our resources: Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to significant limitations, including those we identify below. In addition, other companies in our industry may define these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue, gross profit, net income (loss), diluted EPS, or cash flows from operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP.

Because we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results is affected by foreign exchange fluctuations. We calculate certain constant currency measures and foreign currency impacts by translating the current year's reported amounts, excluding new acquisitions, into comparable amounts using the prior year's exchange rates. All constant currency financial information that may be presented is non-GAAP and should be used as a supplement to our reported operating results. We believe that this information is helpful to our management and investors to assess our operating performance on a comparable basis. However, these measures are not intended to replace amounts presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures calculated by other companies.

The Company is also providing third quarter and full year guidance. These forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. The Company has not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable, without unreasonable effort, to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all excluded items that may arise during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Such excluded items could be material to the reported results individually or in the aggregate.

Ex-TAC Gross Profit

Ex-TAC gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measure. In calculating Ex-TAC gross profit, we add back other cost of revenue to gross profit. Ex-TAC gross profit may fluctuate in the future due to various factors, including, but not limited to, seasonality and changes in the number of media partners and advertisers, advertiser demand or user engagements.

We present Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin (calculated as Ex-TAC gross profit as a percentage of revenue), and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Ex-TAC gross profit, because they are key profitability measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. There are limitations on the use of Ex-TAC gross profit in that traffic acquisition cost is a significant component of our total cost of revenue but not the only component and, by definition, Ex-TAC gross profit presented for any period will be higher than gross profit for that period. A potential limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that other companies, including companies in our industry, which have a similar business, may define Ex-TAC gross profit differently, which may make comparisons difficult. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue or gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before gain on repurchase of long-term debt; interest expense; interest income and other income (expense), net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; and other income or expenses that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, and impairment charges. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because it is a key profitability measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplemental measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS

Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income (loss) excluding items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to gain on repurchase of long-term debt, acquisition and integration costs, regulatory matter costs, and severance costs related to our cost saving initiatives. Adjusted net income (loss), as defined above, is also presented on a per diluted share basis. We present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted EPS as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate performance comparisons from period to period. However, adjusted net income (loss) or adjusted diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or diluted earnings per share reported in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus direct acquisition costs. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are supplementary measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our ability to generate cash and we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of our available cash flows. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should be considered as supplemental measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
