Criteo S.A. (NASDAQ: CRTO) reported Q1 EPS of $0.80, $0.27 better than the analyst estimate of $0.53. Revenue for the quarter came in at $254 million versus the consensus estimate of $244.77 million.
2024 Business Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect Criteo's expectations as of May 2, 2024.
Fiscal year 2024 guidance:
- We now expect Contribution ex-TAC to grow high-single-digit at constant currency, compared to our previous guidance of mid-single-digit growth at constant currency.
- We now expect an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 31% of Contribution ex-TAC, compared to our previous guidance of 29% to 30% of Contribution ex-TAC.
Second quarter 2024 guidance:
- We expect Contribution ex-TAC between $261 million and $265 million, or year-over-year growth at constant-currency of +10% to +12%.
- We expect Adjusted EBITDA between $70 million and $74 million.
The guidance for the second quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 assumes the following exchange rates for the main currencies impacting our business: a U.S. dollar-euro rate of 0.915, a U.S. dollar-Japanese Yen rate of 149, a U.S. dollar-British pound rate of 0.785, a U.S. dollar-Korean Won rate of 1,342 and a U.S. dollar-Brazilian real rate of 4.95.
The guidance assumes that no additional acquisitions are completed during the second quarter of 2024 or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
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.
