Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") have been prepared by Criteo pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year.

Conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to: (1) revenue recognition criteria, (2) allowances for credit losses, (3) research tax credits, (4) income taxes, including (i) recognition of deferred tax assets arising from the subsidiaries projected taxable profit for future years, (ii) evaluation of uncertain tax positions associated with our transfer pricing policy and (iii) recognition of income tax position in respect with tax reforms recently enacted in countries we operate, (5) assumptions used in valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities in business combinations, (6) assumptions used in the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and right of use assets - operating lease, and (7) assumptions used in the valuation model to determine the fair value of share-based compensation plan.

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2022

Effective January 1, 2022, we have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10), which improves the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity's financial statements. The impacts on our annual consolidated financial statements will be limited as a result of adoption of this standard.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

Note 2. Business acquisitions

On August 1, 2022, the Company, Iponweb Holding Limited, Exezars Limited (a subsidiary of Iponweb Holding Limited and collectively with Iponweb Holding Limited, the “Sellers”), Mr. Ljubisa Bogunovic, in his capacity as trustee of the “IW General Management Trust” and Mr. Boris Mouzykantskii, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Iponweb Holding Limited (the “Founder”) entered into an amended and restated Framework Purchase Agreement (the “FPA”), amending and restating the previously disclosed framework purchase agreement, dated December 22, 2021, which provided for the acquisition of the business of Iponweb Holding Limited (the "Iponweb business"), a market-leading AdTech company with world-class media trading capabilities, by the Company (the “Iponweb Acquisition”).

This business combination is composed of an asset purchase of Iponweb intellectual property and other intangible rights and a share purchase of 100% of the share capital and voting rights of nine Iponweb operational legal entities.

Purchase price. The purchase price, as per ASC 805, was $287.6 million (subject to post-close purchase price adjustments) for the Iponweb business, out of which $61.2 million represents the fair value of the contingent consideration and is payable based upon the achievement of certain net revenue targets by the Iponweb business for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years. The FPA also provides for contingent consideration payable in cash to the Sellers in an amount up to $100 million, conditioned upon the achievement of certain net revenue targets by the Iponweb business for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.

Separate compensation arrangement. The Company transferred Treasury shares with a fair value of $70.2 million to Iponweb's Sellers, subject to lock-up conditions. As these shares are subject to a lock-up period that expires in three installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Iponweb Acquisition, unless the Founder's employment agreement is terminated under certain circumstances during the pendency of such lock-up period, the $70.2 million fair value was not included in the purchase price consideration above and will be accounted for separately from the business combination as a stock compensation expense. See Note 11 for further discussion.

Financing. The acquisition was financed by available cash resources, and in connection with the Acquisition, the Company drew down €50.0 million ($51.1 million) for a one-month period on its then-current revolving credit facility (repaid prior to quarter end) to provide additional liquidity.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition. The purchase price allocation is in progress and we expect to complete this analysis within one year from the Acquisition Date.

On the Acquisition Date, assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major asset class before purchase price allocation are as follow:

11

---

						Estimated fair values
						(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents						93.3
Trade receivables						113.3
Other current assets						1.0
Other non-current assets						56.1
Trade Payables						(192.5)
Other current liabilities						(13.7)
Other non-current liabilities						(52.2)
Net assets acquired						$	5.3

In the Iponweb business's opening balance sheet, Criteo recognized an $18.0 million liability related to the Iponweb business's uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. The Company also recognized a $32.7 million provision in connection with the Iponweb business, accounted for under ASC 450 Contingencies. As part of the Acquisition, the Sellers agreed to indemnify Criteo for losses related to certain liabilities, up to an amount of $50.0 million. As such, we have recognized an indemnification asset of $50.0 million which is recorded as part of "Other non-current assets" on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Preliminary goodwill. The Company is assessing the fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the Iponweb Acquisition, based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. This measurement period will not exceed one year from the Acquisition Date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The preliminary goodwill of $282.3 million is primarily attributable to synergies expected to be realized from leveraging our technological capabilities and from the existence of an assembled workforce.

Our fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending the completion of certain items including the final determination of the purchase price and the final assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including those related to intangible assets. Accordingly, there could be material adjustments to our consolidated financial statements, including changes in our amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible assets and their respective useful lives, among other adjustments.

Acquisition costs. Acquisition related costs of $7.1 million and $11.5 million were recorded within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Impact on profit and loss. The Company's consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes Iponweb's revenues of $18.5 million and pretax income (loss) of $0.5 million for the period from the Acquisition Date to September 30, 2022.

On a pro-forma basis, assuming the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021, Criteo's consolidated pro-forma revenue and net income or loss would have been as follows:

						Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Data
						Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
						(in thousands)
Revenue						$	473,859					$	532,986					$	1,512,605					$	1,670,941
Net Income (loss)						6,709						25,510						(4,079)						$	66,720

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give the effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination and are reasonably estimable. The pro forma information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Acquisition had taken place at the beginning the Company's fiscal year 2021.

Note 3. Segment information

Reportable segments

The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. As a result of the Iponweb Acquisition, the Company reassessed its operating and reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Effective August 1, 2022, the Company reports its results of operations through the following three segments: Marketing Solutions, Retail Media and Iponweb.

–Marketing Solutions: This segment allows commerce companies to address multiple marketing goals by engaging their consumers with personalized ads across the web, mobile and offline store environments.

–Retail Media: This segment allows retailers to generate advertising revenues from consumer brands, and/or to drive sales for themselves, by monetizing their data and audiences through personalized ads, either on their own digital property or on the open Internet, that address multiple marketing goals.

–Iponweb: This segment specializes in building real-time advertising technology and trading infrastructure, delivering advanced media buying, selling, and packaging capabilities for media owners, agencies, performance advertisers, and 3rd-party ad tech platforms.

Segment operating results, Contribution ex-TAC, is Criteo's segment profitability measure and reflects our gross profit plus other costs of revenue.

The following table shows revenue by reportable segment:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended

Note 4. Financial Instruments

Financial assets

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of each reported period is represented by the carrying amount of financial assets and summarized in the following table:

						September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
						(in thousands)
Trade receivables, net of allowances						576,082						581,988
Other taxes						75,795						73,388
Other current assets						34,347						34,182
Non-current financial assets						6,864						6,436
Restricted cash						100,000						—
Marketable securities						10,000						55,299
Total						$	803,088					$	751,293

For our financial assets, other than trade receivables, net of allowances, the fair value approximates the carrying amount, given the nature of the financial assets and the maturity of the expected cash flows.

Financial Liabilities

						September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
						(in thousands)
Trade payables						$	576,762					$	430,245
Other taxes						56,894						60,236
Employee-related payables						72,897						98,136
Other current liabilities						60,810						39,523
Financial liabilities						270						1,002
Total						$	767,633					$	629,142

The fair value of financial liabilities approximates the carrying amount, given the nature of the financial liabilities and the maturity of the expected cash outflows.

Fair Value Measurements     

We measure the fair value of our cash equivalents and marketable securities, which include interest-bearing bank deposits, as level 2 measurements because they are valued using observable market data.

Financial assets or liabilities include derivative financial instruments used to manage our exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. These instruments are considered level 2 financial instruments as they are measured using valuation techniques based on observable market data.

16

---

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we use to hedge intercompany transactions and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local currency of a subsidiary. We recognize gains and losses on these contracts in financial income (expense), and their position on the balance sheet is based on their fair value at the end of each respective period. These instruments are considered level 2 financial instruments as they are measured using valuation techniques based on observable market data.

						September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
						(in thousands)
Derivative Assets:
Included in other current assets						$	385					$	60
Derivative Liabilities:
Included in financial liabilities - current portion						$	—					$	—

The fair value of derivative financial instruments approximates the notional amount, given the nature of the derivative financial instruments and the maturity of the expected cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table presents for each reporting period, the breakdown of cash and cash equivalents:

						September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
						(in thousands)
Cash equivalents						$	41,139					$	137,228
Cash on hand						266,184						378,299
Total cash and cash equivalents						$	307,323					$	515,527

Cash equivalents are investments in interest–bearing bank deposits which meet ASC 230—Statement of Cash flows criteria: short-term, highly liquid investments, for which the risks of changes in value are considered to be insignificant. Interest-bearing bank deposits are considered level 2 financial instruments as they are measured using valuation techniques based on observable market data.

For our cash and cash equivalents, the fair value approximates the carrying amount, given the nature of the cash and cash equivalents and the maturity of the expected cash flows.

In addition to the cash and cash equivalents, we have $25.0 million of restricted cash - current and $75.0 million of restricted cash - non-current due to the Iponweb Acquisition (refer to Note 2). The balance of cash and cash equivalents of $307.3 million and restricted cash of $100.0 million reconciles to Net cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of period presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. We have not reported restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 or as of September 30, 2021.

Defined Contribution Plans

The total expense represents contributions payable to these plans by us at specified rates.

In some countries, the Group’s employees are eligible for pension payments and similar financial benefits. The Group provides these benefits via defined contribution plans. Under defined contribution plans, the Group has no obligation other than to pay the agreed contributions, with the corresponding expense charged to income for the year. The main contributions concern France, the United States (for 401k plans), and the United Kingdom.

Note 11. Share-Based Compensation

Criteo's board of directors ("board of directors") has been authorized by the general meeting of the shareholders to grant employee warrants (Bons de Souscription de Parts de Créateur d’Entreprise or "BSPCEs"), share options (Options de Souscription d'Actions or "OSAs"), restricted share units ("RSUs") and non-employee warrants (Bons de Souscription d'Actions or "BSAs").

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were three grants of RSUs under the Employee Share Option Plan 14 and Plan 15 as defined in Note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On February 24, 2022, 348,133 RSUs were granted to Criteo employees subject to continued employment and 384,277 PSUs were granted to members of the management subject to continued employment.

On April 28, 2022, 1,626,911 RSUs were granted to Criteo employees subject to continued employment and 79,907 PSUs were granted to members of the management subject to continued employment.

On July 28, 2022 193,420 RSUs were granted to Criteo employees subject to continued employment.

On August 1, 2022, 2,960,243 Treasury shares were transferred to the Founder (referred to as Lock Up Shares or "LUS"), as partial consideration for the Iponweb Acquisition. As these shares are subject to a lock-up period that expires in three installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Iponweb Acquisition, unless the Founder's employment agreement is terminated under certain circumstances during the pendency of such lock-up period, they are considered as equity settled share-based payments under ASC 718 and are accounted over the three-year vesting period (included in the column RSU/PSU/LUS in the table above). The shares were valued based on the volume weighted average price of one ADS traded on Nasdaq during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding July 28, 2022.

There have been no changes in the vesting and method of valuation of the BSPCEs, OSAs, RSUs, or BSAs from what was disclosed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.

Note 12. Financial and Other Income and Expenses

The condensed consolidated statements of income line item “Financial income (expense)” can be broken down as follows:

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
			(in thousands)
Financial income from cash equivalents			$	170					$	179					$	543					$	505
Interest and fees			(422)						(445)						(1,391)						(1,491)
Interest on debt			(332)						(361)						(1,076)						(1,242)
Fees			(90)						(84)						(315)						(249)
Foreign exchange gain (loss)			3,795						952						24,384						(367)
Other financial expense			(58)						(840)						391						(38)
Total Financial and Other income (expense)			$	3,485					$	(154)					$	23,927					$	(1,391)

The $3.5 million financial and other income and the $23.9 million financial and other income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were driven by the recognition of a positive impact of foreign exchange reevaluations net of related hedging and the up-front fees amortization, the non-utilization costs, and the financial expense relating to our available Revolving Credit Facility financing.

At September 30, 2022, our exposure to foreign currency risk was centralized at Criteo S.A. and hedged using foreign currency swaps or forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies.

Note 13. Income Taxes

Breakdown of Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items arising in the period. To calculate our estimated AETR, we estimate our income before taxes and the related tax expense or benefit for the full fiscal year (total of expected current and deferred tax provisions), excluding the effect of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items or comprehensive income items not recognized in the statement of income. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated annual tax rate does change, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors including our ability to accurately predict our income (loss) before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions and the changes in foreign exchange rates. Our effective tax rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside of France.

On August 16, 2022, the "Inflation Reduction Act" (H.R. 5376) (the "IRA") was signed into law in the United States. Among other things, the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, levies a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases after December 31, 2022, and provides tax incentives to promote clean energy. We are still in the process of analyzing the provisions of the IRA. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents provision for income taxes:

			Nine Months Ended
			September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
			(in thousands)
Provision for income tax expense (benefit)			$	4,735					$	22,033

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, provision for incomes taxes is $4.7 million and $22.0 million, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 provision for income taxes differs from the nominal standard French rate of 25.0% due to non-tax deductibility of the loss contingency related to the CNIL matter as described in Note 15 and a discrete tax expense related to change in valuation allowance for certain US deferred tax assets.

Current tax assets and liabilities

The total amount of current tax assets and liabilities consists mainly of prepayments of income taxes and credits of Criteo S.A., Criteo Corp., and Criteo GmbH.

Note 14. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the net income or loss for the period attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

						Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Criteo S.A.						$	6,579					$	23,481					$	(6,448)					$	60,691
Weighted average number of shares outstanding						60,318,114						60,873,594						60,431,597						60,759,613
Basic earnings per share						$	0.11					$	0.39					$	(0.11)					$	1.00

Diluted Earnings Per Share

We calculate diluted earnings per share by dividing the net income or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares not yet issued from share-based compensation plans (refer to Note 10). There were no other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Consequently, all potential dilutive effects from shares are considered.

For each period presented, a contract to issue a certain number of shares (i.e., share option, non-employee warrant, employee warrant ("BSPCE")) is assessed as potentially dilutive if it is “in the money” (i.e., the exercise or settlement price is lower than the average market price).

						Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021						September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Criteo S.A.						$	6,579					$	23,481					$	(6,448)					$	60,691
Weighted average number of shares outstanding of Criteo S.A.						60,318,114						60,873,594						60,431,597						60,759,613
Dilutive effect of :

Weighted average number of shares outstanding used to determine diluted earnings per share						63,235,811						64,197,686						63,050,355						64,313,526
Diluted earnings per share						$	0.10					$	0.37					$	(0.10)					$	0.94

The weighted average number of securities that were anti-dilutive for diluted EPS for the periods presented but which could potentially dilute EPS in the future are as follows:

Note 15. Commitments and contingencies

Commitments

Revolving Credit Facilities, Credit Line Facilities and Bank Overdrafts     

On September 27, 2022, we entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") with a five year tenor with a syndicate of banks which allows us to draw up to €407.0 million ($396.7 million).

We are also party to short-term credit lines and overdraft facilities with HSBC plc, BNP Paribas and LCL with an authorization to draw up to a maximum of €21.5 million ($21.0 million) in the aggregate under the short-term credit lines and overdraft facilities. As of September 30, 2022, we had not drawn on any of these facilities. Any loans or overdrafts under these short-term facilities bear interest based on the one month EURIBOR rate or three month EURIBOR rate. As these facilities are exclusively short-term credit and overdraft facilities, our banks have the ability to terminate such facilities on short notice.

Contingencies

Changes in provisions during the presented periods are summarized below:

						Provision for employee-related litigation												Other provisions						Total
						(in thousands)
Balance at January 1, 2022						1,117												1,942						3,059
Increase						91												63,936						64,027
Provision used						(473)												(302)						(775)
Provision released not used						(140)												(398)						(538)
Other						—												32,731						32,731
Currency translation adjustments						(121)												(5,614)						(5,735)
Balance at September 30, 2022						474												92,295						92,769
- of which current						474												59,564						60,038
- of which non-current						—												32,731						32,731

The amount of the provisions represents management’s latest estimate of the expected impact.

Other includes $32.7 million provisions related to certain items accounted for under "ASC 450 Contingencies". These risks were identified and recognized as part of the Iponweb Acquisition. We have recorded an indemnification asset in the full amount of the provision as the Company is indemnified against certain tax liabilities under the the FPA. The indemnification asset is recorded as part of "Other non current assets" on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Regulatory matters

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, in November 2018, Privacy International filed a complaint with certain data protection authorities, including France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés ("CNIL"), against Criteo and a number of other similarly situated advertising technology companies, arguing that certain of these companies' practices were not in compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). In January 2020, CNIL opened a formal investigation into Criteo in response to this complaint, and on June 23, 2021, CNIL notified the Company of the appointment of an investigator(rapporteur) for the ongoing investigation. The investigation also covers another complaint against Criteo received in November 2018 by CNIL from the European Center for Digital Rights ("NOYB").

On August 3, 2022, the assigned rapporteur issued a report that claimed certain GDPR violations, in particular relating to the Company’s contractual relationships with its advertisers and publishers with respect to consent collection oversight. The report includes a proposed financial sanction against the Company of €60.0 million ($65.4 million).Under the CNIL sanction procedures, Criteo has the right to respond in writing to the report, both with respect to the GDPR findings and the value of the sanction, following which there will be a formal hearing before the CNIL Sanction Committee. The CNIL Sanction Committee will then issue a draft decision that will be submitted for consultation to other European data protection authorities as part of the cooperation mechanism mandated by GDPR. Any final decision, including regarding potential financial penalties, will likely not occur until 2023.

Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, we establish accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and these accruals are reviewed and adjusted each quarter based on the information available at that time.

Given the receipt of this report, which included a proposed sanction penalty of €60.0 million ($65.4 million), we have accounted for the proposed penalty as a provision for a loss contingency, which is reflected in our financial statements for the period ended as of June 30, 2022 as general and administrative expenses. Such amount could be lower or higher based on the final resolution and merits of the claims made in the report.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC", on February 25, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

See "Recently Issued Accounting Standards" under Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of certain accounting standards that have been issued during 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Form 10-Q includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. 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 ("TAC") from revenue and reconciled to gross profit through the exclusion of other cost 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 be useful 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 awards compensation expense, pension service costs, restructuring and transformation costs, certain acquisition and integration costs and a loss contingency related to a regulatory matter. 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 awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related assets, restructuring and transformation costs, certain acquisition and integration costs, a loss contingency related to a regulatory matter, 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.

Please refer to the supplemental financial tables provided for a reconciliation of Contribution ex-TAC to gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA to net income, and Adjusted Net Income to net income in each case, the most comparable U.S. GAAP measurement. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them 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, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, 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.

(3) We define Contribution ex-TAC as 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 cost 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 be useful for measuring 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. Our use of Contribution ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; (b) other companies may report Contribution ex-TAC or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Contribution ex-TAC alongside our other U.S. GAAP financial result measures. The below table provides a reconciliation of Contribution ex-TAC to gross profit:

(4) We define Adjusted Net Income as our net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related assets, restructuring and transformation costs, certain acquisition and integration costs, a loss contingency related to a regulatory matter, 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 others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) Adjusted Net Income does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation or the impact of certain acquisition-related costs; and (b) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted Net Income or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted Net Income alongside our other U.S. GAAP-based financial results, including net income. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to net income:

						Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended

(5) We define Adjusted EBITDA as our consolidated earnings before financial income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, depreciation and amortization expense and certain restructuring and transformation costs, certain acquisition and integration costs and a loss contingency related to a regulatory matter. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure 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-term and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA 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. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our U.S. GAAP financial results, including net income. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated:

						Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended

(1) Constant currency measures exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is computed by applying the prior year monthly exchange rates to transactions denominated in settlement or billing currencies other than the US dollar.

(2) The Retail Media Platform, introduced in June 2020, is a strategic building block of Criteo’s Commerce Media Platform and is reported under the retail media segment. It is a self-service solution providing transparency, measurement and control to brands and retailers. In all arrangements running on this platform, Criteo recognizes revenue on a net basis, whereas revenue from arrangements running on legacy Retail Media solutions are accounted for on a gross basis. We expect most clients using Criteo’s legacy Retail Media solutions to transition to this platform by the second half of 2022. As new clients onboard and existing clients transition to the Retail Media Platform, Revenue may decline but Contribution ex-TAC margin is expected to increase. Contribution ex-TAC is not impacted by this transition.

Revenue by segment

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased (12)%, or (3)% on a constant currency basis, to $446.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

In the quarter, 88% of revenue came from existing clients while 12% came from new client additions. Our number of clients was flat year-over-year.

Marketing Solutions revenue decreased (16)%, or (6)% on a constant currency basis, to $387.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by anticipated identity and privacy changes and the suspension of the Company's operations in Russia, partially offset by a rebound in travel and traction in upselling and cross-selling of existing clients.

Retail Media revenue decreased (18)%, or (14)% on a constant currency basis, to $41.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for clients transitioning to the Company's platform. Criteo's platform accounts for a growing share of Retail Media onsite revenue, or about 95% in the third quarter of 2022, and its revenue is accounted for on a net basis. In the prior year period, approximately 63% of retail media onsite revenue was accounted for on a net basis, and as a result of this transition to a full platform business, the growth of Retail Media revenue has been temporarily impacted.

Reflecting the underlying economic performance, Retail Media's Contribution ex-TAC increased 28%, or 32% on a constant currency basis, in the third quarter of 2022, driven by continued strength in Retail Media onsite, in particular in the U.S. market, and growing network effects of the platform.

Iponweb revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $18.5 million following the closing of the acquisition on August 1, 2022.

Additionally, our $446.9 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by $46.4 million of currency fluctuations, particularly as a result of the depreciation of the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Turkish Lira, Russian Ruble and the Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar.

Revenue by region

Our revenue in the Americas region decreased (2)%, or (0.06)% on a constant currency basis, to $201.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This primarily reflects the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for Retail Media clients transitioning to the Company's platform, partially offset by continued strong performance of Retail Media as the platform continues to scale with large retailers and consumer brands, as well as a rebound in travel.

Our revenue in EMEA decreased (20)%, or (6)% on a constant currency basis, to $150.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting the suspension of the Company's operations in Russia and mixed retail trends with strength in Germany, the U.K., and emerging markets offsetting softness in France. This also reflects the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for Retail Media clients transitioning to the Company's platform, partially offset by continued traction in Retail Media.

Our revenue in the Asia-Pacific region decreased (18)%, or decreased (4)% on a constant currency basis, to $94.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting mixed retail trends and a slow recovery of classifieds and travel in the region.

In the nine months of 2022, 88% of revenue came from existing clients while 12% came from new client additions. Our number of clients was flat year-over-year.

Marketing Solutions revenue decreased (10)%, or (2.2)% on a constant currency basis, to $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by anticipated identity and privacy changes and the suspension of the Company's operations in Russia, partially offset by a rebound in travel and mixed retail trends.

Retail Media revenue decreased (17)%, or (15)% on a constant currency basis, to $142.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for clients transitioning to the Company's platform. Criteo's platform accounts for a fast-growing share of Retail Media onsite revenue, or about 84% in the first nine months of 2022, and its revenue is accounted for on a net basis. In the prior year period, approximately 40% of retail media onsite revenue was accounted for on a net basis, and as a result of this transition to a full platform business, the growth of Retail Media revenue has been temporarily impacted. Reflecting the underlying economic performance, Retail Media's Contribution ex-TAC increased 36%, or 40% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by continued strength in Retail Media onsite, in particular in the U.S. market, and growing network effects of onboarding brands and retailers to the platform.

(1) Constant currency measures exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is computed by applying the prior year monthly exchange rates to transactions denominated in settlement or billing currencies other than the US dollar.

(2) The Retail Media Platform, introduced in June 2020, is a strategic building block of Criteo’s Commerce Media Platform and is reported under the retail media segment. It is a self-service solution providing transparency, measurement and control to brands and retailers. In all arrangements running on this platform, Criteo recognizes revenue on a net basis, whereas revenue from arrangements running on legacy Retail Media solutions are accounted for on a gross basis. We expect most clients using Criteo’s legacy Retail Media solutions to transition to this platform by the second half of 2022. As new clients onboard and existing clients transition to the Retail Media Platform, Revenue may decline but Contribution ex-TAC margin is expected to increase. Contribution ex-TAC is not impacted by this transition.

Iponweb revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $18.5 million following the closing of the acquisition on August 1, 2022.

Additionally, our $1.5 billion of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by $110.1 million of currency fluctuations, particularly as a result of the depreciation of the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Turkish Lira, Russian Ruble and the Brazilian real compared to the U.S. dollar.

Our revenue in the Americas region decreased (3)%, or (3)% on a constant currency basis, to $609.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This primarily reflects the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for Retail Media clients transitioning to the Company's platform, partially offset by continued strong performance of Retail Media as the platform continues to scale with large retailers and consumer brands and a rebound in travel.

Our revenue in EMEA decreased (14)%, or (4)% on a constant currency basis, to $521.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting mixed retail trends with strength in Germany and emerging markets, offsetting softness in France. This also reflects the impact of recognizing revenue on a net basis for Retail Media clients transitioning to the Company's platform, partially offset by solid traction in Retail Media.

Our revenue in the Asia-Pacific region decreased (11)%, or increased 1% on a constant currency basis, to $321.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting the recovery of our retail business in the region and soft Classifieds trends.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $(65.2) million, or (20)%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $(64.1) million, or (22)%, or (15)% on a constant currency basis, in traffic acquisition costs driven by a lower average price partially offset by an increase in volume, and a decrease of $(1.2) million, or (3)% in other cost of revenue.

Traffic acquisition costs in Marketing Solutions decreased by (17)% (or (10.5)% at constant currency). This was driven by a (31)% decrease (or (26)% at constant currency) in the average cost per thousand impressions ("CPM") for inventory purchased, including lower CPMs for signal-limited environments where Criteo continues to perform, and a 18% increase in the number of impressions we purchased, reflecting our expanding relationships with existing and new publisher partners, in particular through direct connections, to support client demand for advertising campaigns.

Traffic acquisition costs in Retail Media(1) decreased by (80)% (or (78.3)% at constant currency), reflecting the technical and transitory impact related to the ongoing client migration due to the transitioning of our platform. Because we recognize revenue on a net basis in all arrangements running on the platform, we expect our traffic acquisition costs for Retail Media to decrease over time as all of our clients are transitioned to the platform.

As Iponweb reports revenues on a net basis, it has no traffic acquisition costs.

The decrease in other cost of revenue included a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.5 million and a decrease of $0.1 million in other costs of sales mainly due to the digital tax offset by an increase in hosting costs of $(2.3) million following the replacement of certain data centers and a $0.2 million in data acquisition.

Contribution excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs

We consider Contribution ex-TAC as a key measure of our business activity. Our strategy focuses on maximizing our Contribution ex-TAC on an absolute basis over maximizing our near-term gross margin. We believe this focus builds sustainable long-term value for our business by fortifying a number of our competitive strengths, including access to advertising inventory, breadth and depth of data and continuous improvement of the Criteo AI Engine’s performance, allowing it to deliver more relevant advertisements at scale. As part of this focus, we continue to invest in building preferred relationships with direct publishers and pursue access to leading advertising exchanges.

The following table sets forth our revenue and Contribution ex-TAC by segment:

						Three Months Ended																								Nine Months Ended

(1) We define Contribution ex-TAC as 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 cost of revenue. We have included Contribution ex-TAC in this Form 10-Q because it is a key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance and generate future operating plans. In particular, we believe that this can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our core 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. Our use of Contribution ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; (b)  other companies may report Contribution ex-TAC or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Contribution ex-TAC alongside our other U.S. GAAP financial results, including gross profit.

(2) Constant currency measures exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is computed by applying the prior year monthly exchange rates to transactions denominated in settlement or billing currencies other than the US dollar.

Constant Currency Reconciliation

Information in this Form 10-Q with respect to results presented on a constant currency basis was calculated by applying the 2021 monthly exchange rates to transactions denominated in settlement or billing currencies other than the US dollar.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the Company updated its methodology for calculating revenue and traffic acquisition costs on a constant currency basis, which are non-GAAP measures. The Company will use the prior year’s monthly exchange rates where the settlement or billing currencies are in currencies other than US dollars. The Q1 2022 revenue and traffic acquisition costs have been revised consistent with this updated methodology.

Below is a table which reconciles the actual results presented in this section with the results presented on a constant currency basis:

The $3.5 million and $23.9 million financial and other income for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were driven by the recognition of a positive impact of foreign exchange reevaluations net of related hedging and the up-front fees amortization, the non-utilization costs, and the financial expense relating to our available Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") financing. At September 30, 2022, our exposure to foreign currency risk was centralized at Criteo S.A. and hedged using foreign currency swaps or forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies.

This decrease was the result of the business dynamics discussed above, in particular, a $(27.7) million decrease in income from operations, offset by a $3.6 million increase in financial and other income and by a $(6.4) million decrease in provision for income taxes compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operating activities. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our equity securities in the foreseeable future. In February 2021, the board of directors approved a new, long-term share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the Company's outstanding American Depositary Shares, which we completed in December 2021. In October 2021, the board of directors approved an extension of the long-term share repurchase program of up to $175 million of the Company's outstanding American Depositary Shares, and in February 2022, the board of directors further extended this long-term share repurchase program to a total of $280 million.

Other than these repurchase programs, we intend to retain all available funds from any future earnings to fund our growth. As discussed in Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q, we are party to several loan agreements and revolving credit facilities with third-party financial institutions.

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2022 were held for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include acquisitions, and amounted to $407.3 million as of September 30, 2022. The $(108.2) million decrease in cash and cash equivalents compared with December 31, 2021 primarily resulted from a decrease $(133.7) million in cash from investing activities and by $(36.2) million in cash used for financing activities over the period, partially offset by an increase of $130.5 million in cash from operating activities. The cash used for financing activities was mainly related to $(59.2) million in cash used for the share repurchase programs, offset by the recognition of $22.2 million positive impact of foreign exchange reevaluations net of related hedging, and by $0.6 million of proceeds from a capital increase following the exercises of stock options. In addition, the decrease in cash includes an $(68.8) million negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our cash position over the period. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest any cash in excess of our immediate requirements in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in demand deposit accounts that are currently providing only a minimal return.

On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into a new five year Revolving Credit Facility (the "RCF") that allows immediate access to an additional €407.0 million ($396.7 million) of liquidity, which, combined with our cash position, marketable securities and treasury shares as of September 30, 2022, provides total liquidity above $740 million. On July 29, 2022, we drew down €50 million under our prior revolving credit facility for a one month period to provide additional liquidity in connection with the Iponweb Acquisition. This draw down was repaid by the end of August 2022. Overall, we believe that our current financial liquidity, combined with our expected cash-flow generation in 2022, enables financial flexibility.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our capital expenditures were $41.3 million and $42.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these capital expenditures were mainly comprised of purchases of servers and other data-center equipment and capitalized software development costs. We expect our capital expenditures to remain at, or slightly above, 3% of revenue for 2022, as we plan to continue to build and maintain additional data center equipment capacity in all regions and significantly increase our redundancy capacity to strengthen our infrastructure.

We believe our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months.  

Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the impact of the macro environment on customer budgets that they spend with us, the rate of our revenue growth and the pace at which we implement and launch new products and enhancements as part of the Commerce Media Platform, Investments in new capabilities and new capital equipment, including renewal of data center contracts.

If our cash and cash equivalents balances and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings to support our operations, and such financings may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

57

---

We may also need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets or products.

If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, our operations and ability to execute our business strategy could be adversely affected. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to our shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. We therefore believe that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

			Nine Months Ended
			September 30, 2022						September 30, 2021
			(in thousands)
Cash (used for) from operating activities			$	130,530					$	154,901
Cash (used for) from investing activities			$	(133,724)					$	(66,195)
Cash (used for) from financing activities			$	(36,196)					$	(55,821)

Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities is primarily impacted by the increase in the number of clients using our solutions and by the amount of cash we invest in personnel to support the anticipated growth of our business. Cash from operating activities has typically been generated from changes in our operating assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, deferred tax assets and income taxes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $130.5 million and consisted of net loss of $(5.2) million, and $122.0 million in adjustments for certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjustments for certain non-operating items primarily consisted of amortization and provision expense of $134.7 million, equity awards compensation expense of $42.6 million, partially offset by $(16.1) million of changes in deferred tax assets, by a $(12.9) million change in income taxes and by other non-operating items of $(26.3) million. The $13.7 million increase in cash from changes in working capital primarily consisted of a $75.4 million increase in trade receivables, and a $1.1 million change in lease liabilities and right of use assets partially offset by a $(23.2) million change in other current assets including prepaid expenses and value-added tax ("VAT") receivables, a $(19.5) million change in trade payables, and a $(20.2) million change in other current liabilities such as payroll and payroll related expenses and VAT payables and change in fair value of derivatives.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities to date have consisted primarily of the consideration paid to acquire the Iponweb business and purchases of servers and other data-center equipment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash from investing activities was $(133.7) million and primarily consisted of $(135.5) million of consideration paid for the Iponweb business, $(41.3) million change in capital expenditures mainly comprised of purchases of servers and other data-center equipment and capitalized software development costs, partially offset by a $43.1 million positive change from the maturity of investments in Marketable Securities.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used for financing activities was $(36.2) million, resulting mainly from a $(59.2) million payment for our share repurchase program, partially offset by a $22.2 million change relating to the recognition of a positive impact of foreign exchange reevaluations net of related hedging, and $0.6 million of proceeds from capital increase following the exercises of stock options and a $0.1 million change in other financial liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2022, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Criteo have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

For a discussion of our legal proceedings, refer to Note 15. Commitments and contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following risk factor is provided to update the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related government actions are evolving and beyond our control, and given our global operations, such conflict may adversely affect our business and results of operations. As a result of this conflict, we decided to suspend all ad campaigns and digital advertising activities in Russia until further notice, and we ultimately reduced personnel attached to supporting these activities. Our current business in Russia and Ukraine is limited, and in 2021, it represented less than 2% of our Contribution ex-TAC. In addition, as part of the acquisition of the Iponweb business, we have entered into a transitional services agreement to cover certain R&D and back office functions that are delivered to the acquired Iponweb entities from contractors and/or employees based in Russia until June 2023.

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our public filings, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Such risks include, but are not limited to: adverse effects on global macroeconomic conditions; regional instability and geopolitical shifts; supply chain disruption; increased exposure to cyberattacks; limitations in our ability to implement and execute our business strategy, including our completed acquisition of the Iponweb business; risks to employees and contractors that we have in the region; and exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
