EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A of Criteo S.A. (“Criteo” or the “Company”) relates to the Form 8-K filed on August 3, 2022 (the “Original Report”). In the Original Report, among other things, the Company furnished a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. This amendment describes changes from the Original Report due to a subsequent event that occurred on August 3, 2022, as described below. Except as set forth below, this Form 8-K/A does not otherwise update or change any disclosure contained in the Original Report.

ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

As previously reported in the Company’s 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 the Company 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 on resolution and potential financial penalties would likely not occur until 2023.

Pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company establishes 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 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.

The Company has revised its financial statements and other disclosures contained in the Press Release to reflect the establishment of the accrual. These revisions affected the Company’s net income, earnings per share, and liabilities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s non-GAAP results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 remain unchanged. Amended financial statements giving effect to the accrual are reflected herein and replace those included in the Press Release. These revisions have no effect on the Company’s previously issued guidance for the third quarter 2022 or the fiscal year 2022.

The information furnished with this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

This Form 8-K/A contains references to non-GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is included below. The reconciliations included below supersede the non-GAAP reconciliations included in the Press Release.

(1) For the three months and the six months ended June 2022, and June 2021, respectively, the Company recognized restructuring related and transformation costs following its new organizational structure implemented to support its Commerce Media Platform strategy:

For the three months ended and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, the cash outflows related to restructuring related and transformation costs were $2.3 million, and $10.3 million and 3.1 million, and $16.5 million respectively, and were mainly comprised of payroll costs, broker and termination penalties related to real-estate facilities and other consulting fees.

(2) 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, restructuring related and transformation costs and certain other non-recurring items impacting net income (loss). 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 the elimination of equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, restructuring related and transformation costs and certain other non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) in calculating 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 other U.S. GAAP financial results, including net income. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our U.S. GAAP financial results, including net income.

(3) The Company recorded a provision for a loss contingency on a regulatory matter with France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés ("CNIL"). Refer to Note 14 of our financial statement notes in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 for more information. We consider that the loss contingency relating to one regulatory matter is non-recurring and is not reflective of the underlying past and future trends in our business.

(1) We define Non-GAAP Operating Expenses as our consolidated operating expenses adjusted to eliminate the impact of depreciation and amortization, equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, acquisition-related costs, restructuring related and transformation costs and certain other non-recurring items impacting net income (loss). The Company uses Non-GAAP Operating Expenses to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short-term and long-term operational plans, and to assess and measure our financial performance and the ability of our operations to generate cash. We believe Non-GAAP Operating Expenses reflects our ongoing operating expenses in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business. As a result, we believe that Non-GAAP Operating Expenses provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our core operating performance and trends in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across periods. In addition, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses is a key component in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, which is one of the key measures we use to provide our quarterly and annual business outlook to the investment community.
(2) The Company recorded a provision for a loss contingency on a regulatory matter with France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés ("CNIL"). Refer to Note 14 of our financial statement notes in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 for more information. We consider that the loss contingency relating to one regulatory matter is non-recurring and is not reflective of the underlying past and future trends in our business.

(1) We consider the nature of the adjustment to determine its tax treatment in the various tax jurisdictions we operate in. The tax impact is calculated by applying the actual tax rate for the entity and period to which the adjustment relates.
(2) We define Adjusted Net Income as our net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of equity awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring related and transformation costs, and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included Adjusted Net Income 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 regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of equity awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring related and transformation costs and the tax impact of the foregoing adjustments in calculating Adjusted Net Income can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted Net Income 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 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 financial results, including net income.
(3) The Company recorded a provision for a loss contingency on a regulatory matter with France's Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés ("CNIL"). Refer to Note 14 of our financial statement notes in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 for more information. We consider that the loss contingency relating to one regulatory matter is non-recurring and is not reflective of the underlying past and future trends in our business.
