Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Guidance
For the Third Quarter and Full Year 2026, the Company currently expects (dollars in millions):
Q3 2026 FY 2026
Guidance Guidance
Unaudited
------------------------------
(dollars in millions)
Revenues $460 - $473 $1,930 - $1,956
Gross profit $148 - $152 $605 - $615
ex-TAC Gross Profit* $184 - $190 $772 - $783
Adjusted EBITDA* $51.5 - $56.5 $228 - $240
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)* $38 - $42 $168 - $176
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 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.
