Criteo S.A. (CRTO) filed an SEC Form 8-K — Results of Operations and Financial Condition. EX-99.1 7 exhibit991-8xkq22026.htm EX-99.1 Document Exhibit 99.1 CRITEO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS Appointed Connor McGogney as Chief Financial Officer, Effective August 10, 2026 Q2 2026 Media Spend of $1.1 Billion Deployed $30 Million to Repurchase Shares in Q2 2026 NEW
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can reassess near-term earnings power and execution risk given the reported declines, while also tracking the CFO transition and ongoing capital returns.
Market read
Q2 results show revenue and profitability declines, alongside operational updates (OpenAI partnership monetization, retail media client additions) and a CFO change.
What to watch
Retail Media revenue fell 21% due to previously communicated scope changes; excluding that impact, contribution ex-TAC grew 20% in Q2, which could reduce the perceived underlying demand deterioration.
Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K with Exhibit 99.1 covering Criteo’s Q2 2026 financial results and related corporate updates.
Ticker impact
Criteo reported Q2 2026 results with revenue down 11% YoY, adjusted EBITDA down 18%, and free cash flow of -$38M.
Likely downside bias on any market reaction to the revenue and EBITDA declines, partially offset by buyback activity and cash balance.
The newest disclosed datapoints are the Q2 financial results and the updated outlook language, plus the CFO appointment effective Aug 10 and $30M Q2 repurchases. The article does not provide specific forward guidance numbers, limiting precision on magnitude.
Market effects
Signals pressure in retail media and performance media demand, which can influence sentiment across commerce intelligence and adtech peers.
No explicit regional macro drivers disclosed beyond multi-country ChatGPT Ads expansion.
OpenAI partnership and AI-driven commerce monetization updates may affect global retail media competitive positioning.
Counterpoint
Despite GAAP weakness, adjusted profitability and cash balance remain supportive, and the client-base growth ex-headwind suggests the decline may be partly scope-related.
