  • Expect Adjusted EBITDA between $49 million and $53 million for Q2 2022.
  • Expect Contribution ex-TAC to grow by 8% to 10% at constant currency for fiscal year 2022.
  • Continue to expect an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 32% of Contribution ex-TAC for fiscal year 2022.

Headwinds

  • Fiscal year 2022 guidance reflects the suspension of Russia operations.
  • Fiscal year 2022 guidance reflects lower Contribution ex-TAC for Europe due to higher traffic acquisition costs for global supply contracts denominated in USD.
  • Guidance assumes specific exchange rates for the main currencies impacting the business.
  • Guidance does not include the acquisition of IPONWEB.
  • 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.
