Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the fiscal second quarter of 2025 was $5.0 million, or $0.05 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 of $13.9 million, or $0.13 per share, in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the fiscal second quarter of 2025 was $15.3 million, representing an increase of 6% quarter-over-quarter as compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2025, and a decline of 45% year-over-year as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of $27.7 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.The Company has initiated a transformation program designed to drive greater efficiency and enhance cash flow generation while accelerating innovation and future growth. The program is underway and is targeted to yield more than $25 million in annual cash expense savings.The Company announced the acquisition of ONE Store International to create a leading comprehensive and competitive alternative app ecosystem beyond the traditional app store model, offering greater value to app developers, consumers and mobile operators.

“The September quarter results marked our second consecutive quarter of sequential growth,” said Bill Stone, CEO. “While we anticipate continued sequential growth in the current December quarter and a return to year-over-year growth in the March quarter, our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2025 has been reduced as a result of more significant anticipated headwinds in some of our legacy businesses. In order to drive greater efficiencies with current operations and enhance cash flow generation while simultaneously accelerating innovation and maintaining our investment is several promising future growth initiatives, we have enacted a strategic transformation project. We expect this transformation project to yield more than $25 million in annual cost savings and position the Company for greater profit and cash flow leverage when top-line growth rates re-accelerate. We remain steadfastly confident in the future of Digital Turbine, but we also recognize that we must execute with greater expediency and efficiency while attacking the enormous market opportunity in front of us. We have a clear plan to achieve this core objective and maximally capitalize on our advantageous foothold position in the newly evolving mobile app marketplace.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net income and earnings per share (“EPS”), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP gross profit. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.

Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results. The Company believes non-GAAP measures facilitate management’s internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

1Non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS are defined as GAAP net income and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, business transformation costs, transaction-related expenses, severance costs, impairment of goodwill, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and tax adjustments. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS should not be construed as an alternative to comparable GAAP net income figures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

2Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net income excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), business transformation costs, foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), income tax (benefit) provision, transaction-related expenses, impairment of goodwill, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and severance costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

3Non-GAAP free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows), excluding transaction-related expenses, severance costs and business transformation costs, reduced by capital expenditures. Readers are cautioned that free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability, performance or liquidity, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

4Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP income from operations adjusted to exclude the effect of product development costs, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative costs, impairment of goodwill, and depreciation of software. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP gross profit should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP gross profit are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance. They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company’s financial performance before non-cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business.

Criteo research finds that online sales in the opening and closing hours of Singles Day capture over 300% increase in transaction volume across Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Criteo (NASDAQ: CRTO), the commerce media company, today unveiled key insights from the 2023 Singles’ Day sales across Southeast Asia (SEA) and Greater China.

Singles’ Day (11/11) presents an enormous opportunity for retailers in these regions to connect with consumers at crucial decision-making moments, build brand loyalty and stand out from the competition. In 2023, online retail transactions in SEA surged 140% compared to the first week of October, and the average basket size increased by 16% compared to the same baseline. In Greater China, online retail transactions grew 237% while the average basket size saw a 6% uptick.

“As the year-end sales season draws near, it’s timely to glean past insights to better seize the opportunities that lie ahead,” said Taranjeet Singh, Managing Director, Venture Markets, APAC at Criteo. “One thing is clear: such e-commerce events hold tremendous potential and impact for brands and retailers to capitalise on the moment. In providing these datasets, we hope to empower our brand and retail partners to maximise sales opportunities and enhance customer experiences as Singles’ Day draws around once more.”

Key findings: 

1.    Singles’ Day is the largest seasonal sales opportunity for retailers

Across the board, all sales metrics perform higher on Singles’ Day – be it online retail transactions, unit sales, and average basket sizes. This marks consumers’ willingness to spend during this period, which is widely known for its festive deals, loyalty promotions, and immersive e-commerce experiences.

In Southeast Asia:

Online retail transactions surged by 140% compared to the first week of October 2023.In comparison, sales on Black Friday 2023 increased 101% from the first four weeks of October 2023.Unit sales, which denotes the number of individual items sold, skyrocketed by 178%, compared to 139% in 2022.During Cyber 6 (Black Friday to Cyber Wednesday 2023), sales increased 4% compared to the same period in 2022.The average basket size, which indicates the quantity of products purchased per transaction, also saw a notable uptick of 16%, compared to the first week of October 2023.The top-performing product categories, based on indexed transactions from the first week of October 2023, comprise Baby & Toddler (+407%), Health & Beauty (+352%) and Furniture (+277%). 

In Greater China:

Online retail transactions surged by 237% compared to the first week of October.In comparison, sales on Black Friday 2023 rose 58% from the first four weeks of October 2023.Unit sales saw a 257% increase, compared to 248% in 2022.Sales during Cyber 6 (Black Friday to Cyber Wednesday 2023) increase 2% compared to the same period in 2022.The average basket size saw an uptick of 6%, compared to the first week of October.The top-performing product categories, based on indexed transactions from the first week of October 2023, comprise: Health & Beauty (417%), Home & Garden (326%), Luggage & Bags (311%) and Toys & Games (311%).Online transactions saw a 9% Year-on-Year growth on Singles’ Day.Interestingly, average order values showed an increase of 14%, with the average unit price going up by 7%.

2.     Shoppers are prepared to spend the most during the first and last hours of Singles’ Day

Shopper activity tends to spike in the first (12AM – 1AM) and last hours (11PM – 12AM) of the day. Early bird shoppers are a segment of shoppers who tend to prepare their shopping baskets ahead of time in anticipation of discounts and offers. These early bird shoppers represent a crucial segment for brands to capitalise on by offering flash discounts or loyalty promotions. Meanwhile, last-minute shoppers tend to seize deals available at the day’s final hours – marking a final opportunity to convert buyers who hold out until the very end for a good deal. Savvy retailers that take note of this pattern will leverage their retail media platforms to drive and serve ads in the lead-up to and prior to the closing of these sales events.

The first hour of Singles’ Day (12AM – 1AM) sees the greatest spike in SEA online transactions (+325%) and unit sales (+370%), compared to baseline sales at the start of October.This trend is reversed in Greater China, with online transactions (+345%) and unit sales (363%) spiking in the final hour of Singles’ Day (11PM – 12AM).

3.      ‘Tis the season to convert new buyers: conversion rates are exceptionally high during Singles’ Day

In the past few years, Singles’ Day has consistently recorded substantial spikes in new purchases by new buyers. While the number of new buyers fell in 2023, there is still a clear opportunity to convert new customers and establish lasting customer relationships during this period. Retailers who can build on this momentum of first-time buyers during Singles’ Day will also see the chance to ensure continued patronage as the holiday season progresses.

Singles’ Day 2023 saw a whopping 63% increase in new shoppers in SEA compared to the month of October.

Taking action:

Sales events such as Singles’ Day are becoming more important for consumers today and represent a growing opportunity for retailers and brands. To realise the true potential of such events, retailers and brands should follow these key learnings for sales season:

1.     Starting Early Matters: with sales events recording much higher-than-average transaction figures, ensuring the relevant media collateral and sales logistics are ready in advance will be helpful to signpost and facilitate consumer purchases. Shoppers tend to plan their purchases in advance, and 47% of consumers globally[1] tend to start their search at retailers rather than search engines, when they know the general type of item they want to buy. As retail media continues to grow with new formats such as offsite and in-store, using retail media allows brands and retailers to engage shoppers further up the funnel, to aid product discovery and boost brand awareness.  Kicking off new campaigns early also ensures campaigns are optimised as shoppers start researching. Brands can also gain a sales boost by expanding their retailer sets to small or medium-size retailers.

2.     Go Full-Funnel: Retail media can help drive positive outcomes during sales events and build lasting customer relationships. Layering sponsored products and offsite campaigns push the needle in capturing new and returning customers during such events and keeping the brand or retail platform top of mind. Keeping in mind that shoppers tend to view several brands before deciding, these tactics also build brand appeal and create a strong impression with shoppers in each stage of their shopping journey.

3.     Be Diligent with Speed: There is increased shopper activity in the first and final hours of these sales events. Savvy retailers and brands drive additional sales by leveraging the data to plan budget accordingly and positioning key advertisements in front of these shoppers in those critical moments.

Methodology

Criteo captures organic data from 20 countries, 600 product categories and over 19,000 advertiser clients. Indexed sales are monitored on retailers who partner with Criteo Marketing Solutions and Criteo Retail Media. Criteo data includes only product categories represented by at least 5 retailers at the most granular level.
