Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA), a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, helping people discover things they may like, today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“We had a strong performance in Q2, beating the high end of our guidance across all metrics. Publishers all around the world continue to trust us and sign long term partnerships, which we saw with new and competitive wins this quarter from Barstool Sports, Cambium Media, Nexstar Media, Futura, and A Cidade On. This is on top of key partners like Time, Disney, Unidad Editorial, BBC, One India, The Print and Bangkok Post renewing their relationships with us. We’re seeing eCommerce and Taboola News significantly outpacing our expectations, with eCommerce now being nearly 20% of our ex-TAC and Taboola News roughly doubling in size, approaching $100M from $50M last year. Our focus for the rest of the year continues to be making our four company priorities successful–Yahoo, Performance Advertising, eCommerce and Bidding–each representing a $1B opportunity for us. I’m bullish about our future, and believe Taboola can soon become the first ‘must buy’ in the Open Web,” said Adam Singolda, CEO and Founder, Taboola.

For more commentary on the quarter, please refer to Taboola’s Q2 2023 Shareholder Letter, which was furnished to the SEC and also posted on Taboola’s website today at https://investors.taboola.com.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance

For the Third Quarter and Full Year 2023, the Company currently expects:

  Q3 2023 Guidance   FY 2023 Guidance  
  Unaudited
  (dollars in millions)
Revenues $331 - $357   $1,438 - $1,469  
Gross profit $83 - $95   $420 - $436  
ex-TAC Gross Profit* $112 - $124   $531 - $546  
Adjusted EBITDA* ($2) - $10   $73 - $80  
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)* ($20) - ($8)   $5 - $10  
 

Although we provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), we are not able to provide guidance for projected net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of net income (loss), including share-based compensation expenses and warrant valuations, are not predictable due to the high variability and difficulty of making accurate forecasts. As a result, it is impractical for us to provide guidance on net income (loss) or to reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) guidance without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, no disclosure of projected net income (loss) is included. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

*About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes ex-TAC Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit, Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenues, gross profit, net income (loss), cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding future financial and business trends relating to the Company. The Company believes that the use of these measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are excluded or included in calculating them, which may vary from period to period. Please refer to the appendix at the end of this press release for reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with GAAP.

**About Cash Investment in Publisher Prepayments (Net)

We calculate cash investment in publisher prepayments (net) for a specific measurement period as the gross amount of cash publisher prepayments we made in that measurement period minus the amortization of publisher prepayments that were included in traffic acquisition cost during that measurement period, which were the result of cash publisher prepayments made in that measurement period and previous periods.

We calculate Ratio of net income (loss) to gross profit as net income (loss) divided by gross profit. We calculate Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC Gross Profit. We believe that the Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit is useful because TAC is what we must pay digital properties to obtain the right to place advertising on their websites, and we believe focusing on ex-TAC Gross Profit better reflects the profitability of our business. The following table reconciles Ratio of net income (loss) to gross profit and Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit for the period shown.

APPENDIX: Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES FOR Q3 2023 AND FULL YEAR 2023 GUIDANCE

(Unaudited)

The following table provides a reconciliation of projected gross profit to ex-TAC Gross Profit.

  Q3 2023 Guidance   FY 2023 Guidance  
  Unaudited
  (dollars in millions)
Revenues $331 - $357   $1,438 - $1,469  
Traffic acquisition cost ($220) - ($234)   ($907) - ($923)  
Other cost of revenues ($29) - ($29)   ($110) - ($111)  
Gross profit $83 - $95   $420 - $436  
Add back: Other cost of revenues ($29) - ($29)   ($110) - ($111)  
ex-TAC Gross Profit $112 - $124   $531 - $546  
 

Although we provide a projection for Free Cash Flow, we are not able to provide a projection for net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of net cash provided by operating activities, including taxes and timing of collections and payments, are not predictable therefore projecting an accurate forecast is difficult. As a result, it is impractical for us to provide projections on net cash provided by operating activities or to reconcile our Free Cash Flow projections without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, no disclosure of projected net cash provided by operating activities is included. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
