NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise stated or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “the registrant,” “our company,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” and “Taboola” refer to Taboola.com Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

              INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data

NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. Taboola.com Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Taboola”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Israel on September 3, 2006.
--- ---

Taboola is a technology company that powers recommendations across the Open Web with an artificial intelligence-based, algorithmic engine developed since the Company began operations in 2007. Taboola partners with websites, devices, and mobile apps (collectively referred to as “digital properties”), to recommend editorial content and advertisements on the Open Web. Digital properties use Taboola’s technology platforms to achieve their business goals, such as driving new audiences to their sites and apps or increasing engagement with existing audiences. Taboola also provides monetization opportunities to digital properties by surfacing paid recommendations by advertisers. Taboola is a business-to-business company with no competing consumer interests. Taboola empowers advertisers to leverage its proprietary AI-powered recommendation platform to reach targeted audiences utilizing effective, native ad-formats across digital properties. As part of the Company e-Commerce offerings, it also syndicates its retailer advertisers’ monetized product listings and links (clickable advertisements) into commerce content-oriented consumer experiences on both the Open Web and within the dominant traditional ad platforms. Taboola generates revenues when people (consumers) click on, purchase from or, in some cases, view the ads that appear within its recommendation platform. The Company’s customers are the advertisers, merchants and affiliate networks that advertise on the Company’s platform (“Advertisers”). Advertisers pay Taboola for those clicks, purchases or impressions, and Taboola shares a portion of the resulting revenue with the digital properties who display those ads.

b. In November 2022, the Company announced it entered into a 30-year exclusive commercial agreement (the “Commercial<br> agreement”) with Yahoo Inc. and affiliated entities (“Yahoo”), under which Taboola will power native advertising across all of Yahoo’s digital properties, expanding the Company’s native advertising offering. In connection with this<br> transaction, and following approval by the Company’s shareholders on December 30, 2022, the articles of association of the Company were amended and restated (the “Articles”) in their entirety to include a Non-voting Ordinary share class<br> with an authorized share capital of 46,000,000. On January 17, 2023 (the “Transaction closing date”), the Company closed the<br> transaction related agreements, including the issuance of 39,525,691 Ordinary shares and 45,198,702 Non-voting Ordinary shares to Yahoo. Based on the closing share price, on January 17, 2023, of $3.40 per share, the aggregate fair value of the issued shares amounted to $288,063. As part of the Ordinary shares and Non-voting Ordinary shares issuance, the Company incurred $1,388 of issuance expenses.

The Non-voting Ordinary shares are not entitled to vote on or receive notices with respect to any matter pursuant to the Company’s Articles and are not entitled to vote or to be counted for purposes of determining whether any vote required under the Articles has been approved by the requisite percentage of voting securities or to be counted towards any quorum required pursuant to the Articles. Except with respect to the voting rights and to the rights to receive notice of meetings of the shareholders, the Non-voting Ordinary shares have rights identical to the rights of Ordinary shares. In connection with the transaction, the Company and Yahoo entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, under which, inter alia, Yahoo is entitled, in certain circumstances, to cause the Company to register the Ordinary shares issued to Yahoo for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company accounts for the consideration paid to Yahoo (the “Commercial agreement asset”) as an up-front payment for traffic acquisition costs paid to the digital property partner, which is amortized over the shorter of respective contractual terms and the economic benefit period of the digital property arrangement.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of Taboola.com Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the disclosures, including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Therefore, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024, or any other future interim or annual period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the interim consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s management regularly evaluates its estimates, primarily those related to: (1) revenue recognition criteria, including the determination of revenue reporting as gross versus net in the Company’s revenue arrangements, (2) allowances for credit losses, (3) operating lease assets and liabilities, including the incremental borrowing rate and terms and provisions of each lease (4) the useful lives of its Commercial agreement asset, property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, (5) income taxes, (6) assumptions used in the option pricing models to determine the fair value of share-based compensation (7) the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including the fair value of marketable securities, Private Warrants and derivative instruments (8) the fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill annual impairment test, and (9) the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.

- 12 -


Table of Contents

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

As of September 30, 2024, the impacts to the Company’s business due to geopolitical developments, such as the wars in Israel and Ukraine and other active or possible hostilities, and macroeconomic factors, such as rising interest rates, inflation and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, continue to evolve. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change materially in future periods.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s trade receivables are geographically diversified and derived mainly from sales in the United States, Israel, Germany and United Kingdom. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivables and establishes an allowance for expected losses as necessary.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a single customer representing 17.4% of the trade receivables balance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the same customer accounted for 10.4% and 12.3% of total revenues, respectively (see Note 12).

As of December 31, 2023, no single customer represented 10% or more of trade receivables. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

          10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the corresponding prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net loss, changes in the shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

NOTE 4:- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
--- ---

The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. The Company did not have any transfers between fair value measurements levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

- 14 -


Table of Contents

NOTE 4:- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Cont.)

The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 based on quoted market prices in active markets.

The Company classifies its short-term investments and derivative instruments within Level 2 as they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.

The Company measures the fair value for Warrants by using a quoted price for the Public Warrants, which are classified as Level 1, and a Black-Scholes simulation model for the Private Warrants, which are classified as Level 3, due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model for the Private Warrants were as follows:

Input September 30,<br><br> <br>2024 December 31,<br><br> <br>2023
Unaudited
Risk-free interest rate 3.67% - 3.90 % 4.04% - 4.28 %
Expected term (years) 1.00 - 1.75 1.75 - 2.50
Expected volatility 44.2% - 54.2 % 61.1% - 63.9 %
Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50
Underlying share price $ 3.36 $ 4.33

The Company’s use of a Black-Scholes model required the use of subjective assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate assumption was interpolated based on<br> constant maturity U.S. Treasury rates over a term commensurate with the expected term of the Private Warrants.
The expected term was based on the maturity of the Private Warrants of five years following June 29, 2021, the Business Combination date, and for certain Private Warrants the maturity was determined to be five years from the date of the October 1, 2020, ION initial public offering effective date.
--- ---
The expected volatility is based on the Company’s share price<br> volatility. For periods prior January 1, 2024, the expected share volatility assumption was based on the implied volatility from a set of comparable publicly-traded companies as determined based on size and proximity, as the Company did<br> not have sufficient trading history

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of Warrants liability:

Private Public Total
Input Warrants Warrants Warrants
Fair value as of December 31, 2023 $ 1,876 $ 4,253 $ 6,129
Change from private to public holdings (87 ) 87

NOTE 6:- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
--- ---

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and put and call options with financial institutions to protect itself against the foreign exchange risks, mainly exposure to changes in the exchange rate of the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) against the U.S dollar that are associated with forecasted future cash flows for up to twelve months. The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates; these derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments outstanding in U.S. dollars amounted to $38,253 and $39,347, respectively.

Gross notional amounts do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company but are used in the calculation of settlements under the contracts.

The Company records all cash flow hedging instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments and recorded as assets were $165 and $948 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated interim balance sheet.

Long-term loan

Concurrently with the closing of the Connexity Acquisition, on September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a $300,000 senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Taboola Inc., a wholly-owned Company’s subsidiary (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300,000 (the “Facility”).

The Facility was fully drawn at closing, net of issuance expenses of $11,250, and the proceeds were used by the Company to finance a portion of the Connexity Acquisition.

The Facility is subject to customary borrowing conditions. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement was amended on June 12, 2023, to replace LIBOR with SOFR and accordingly the Facility bears interest at a variable annual rate based on Term SOFR or Base Rate plus a fixed margin. The Facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of the closing date with the remaining principal amount due at maturity. Due to the Company’s voluntary prepayments, the Company has satisfied in full and has no remaining obligations to make quarterly amortization payments under the Facility at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Facility is mandatorily prepayable with a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain dispositions of assets, a portion of Taboola’s excess cash flow and the proceeds of incurrences of indebtedness not permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. Failure to meet the covenants beyond applicable grace periods could result in acceleration of outstanding borrowings and/or termination of the Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Facility covenants.

        As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s outstanding principal amount of debt under the Credit Agreement was $152,735.

The Facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its wholly-owned material subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors are secured by substantially all the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors including shares of subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 8:- FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (Cont.)

The total interest expenses, including issuance costs amortization, recognized in connection with the long-term loan were $3,971 and $5,141, for the three

        months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $11,879 and $15,641, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The long-term loan interest and issuance costs amortization, included as interest expenses, are
        recognized through the remaining term of the Credit agreement using the effective interest rate. 
        
        Revolving Credit Agreement
          
        On August 9, 2022, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to provide for a five-year senior secured revolving credit
        facility \(the “Revolving Credit Agreement”\), among the Company, Taboola Inc., a wholly-owned Company’s subsidiary \(the “Borrower”\), and the lenders party thereto, with Citibank N.A., as lead arranger and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
        administrative agent. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans in an aggregate committed principal amount of up to $90,000
        \(the “Revolving Loans”\).

Certain representations, events of default and covenants of the Revolving Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those in the Credit Agreement. However, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) as at the last day of each fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are subject to customary conditions and will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on Term SOFR or Base Rate plus a fixed margin. The lenders under the Credit Agreement and the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by the same collateral, including substantially all the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) including shares of subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions in the governing documents.

The proceeds of any Revolving Loans may be used for the working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Taboola and its subsidiaries and may also be used for Restricted Payments, Investments (including permitted acquisitions) and Restricted Debt Payments (each, as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred financing costs associated with entering into the Revolving Credit Agreement in the total amount of $717 and $893, respectively, were included in short-term and long-term prepaid expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Revolving Credit Agreement. Deferred financing costs amortization amounted to $61 and $63, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $176 and $190, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 9:- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS

NOTE 9:- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS (Cont.)

On December 30, 2022, in connection with the Yahoo transaction, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement to the Articles to include a Non-voting Ordinary share class with an authorized share capital of 46,000,000. In January 2023 the Company issued 45,198,702 Non-voting Ordinary shares to Yahoo. The Non-voting Ordinary shares are not entitled to vote, except in limited circumstances as provided in the Articles. Other than the voting rights, the rights to receive notice of meetings of shareholders and limited circumstances as described in the Company’s Articles, the Non-voting Ordinary shares will have rights identical to the rights of Ordinary shares as described above (see Note 1b).

Share Buyback Program

The Company’s board of directors authorized a share buyback program of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary shares, which commenced in June 2023 and does not have an expiration date (the “Buyback Program”). In 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized up to $80,000 of buybacks under the Buyback Program. In February 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized up to $100,000 for use under the Buyback Program, including any remaining authority from the 2023 board of directors authorization, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Israeli Companies Law and the Companies Regulations (Reliefs for Corporations, Whose Securities Are Listed on Foreign Stock Exchanges) - 2000. As permitted by the Buyback Program, share repurchases may be made from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market, including through trading plans, at the discretion of the Company’s management and as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The Buyback Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and the number of shares repurchased may depend upon market and economic conditions and other factors. The Buyback Program may be discontinued, modified or suspended at any time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 15,484,880 of its shares, consisting of 14,496,584 Ordinary shares, and 988,296 Non-voting Ordinary shares (see Note 12) at an average price of $4.14 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees of $362). As of September 30, 2024, the Company had remaining authorization under the Buyback Program to repurchase Ordinary shares up to an aggregate amount of $55,579, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Companies Law and Companies Regulations.

Share Incentive Plans

a. In addition to the Buyback Program detailed above, the Company utilizes a net issuance mechanism to satisfy tax withholding<br> obligations related to equity-based compensation on behalf of its directors, officers and other employees (the “Net Issuances”). In April 2024, the Company satisfied the required conditions, as set forth in the Israeli Companies Law<br> and the Companies Regulations, to conduct future repurchases of its Ordinary shares under the Buyback Program and Net Issuances in an aggregate amount up to $100,000, which amount was partly utilized under the Company’s previous Israeli court authorization. The Company’s board of directors have the authority to<br> determine the amount to be utilized for Net Issuances and Ordinary share repurchases.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company utilized the net issuance mechanism in connection with equity-based compensation for certain Office Holders, which resulted in a tax withholding payment by the Company of $2,396 and $3,213, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Total share-based compensation expense $ 17,186 $ 16,251 $ 51,892 $ 48,868
NOTE 10:- INCOME TAXES
--- ---

The Company’s effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses and tax regulations. The Company’s effective tax rates were (287.0%) and 0.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (47.3%) and (2.2%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The negative effective tax rate results primarily from valuation allowance, as well as tax expenses in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by tax benefits associated with acquired intangible assets mainly in the US.

NOTE 11:- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commercial Commitments

In the ordinary course of the business, the Company enters into agreements with certain digital properties, under which, in some cases it agrees to pay them a guaranteed amount, generally per thousand page views on a monthly basis. These agreements could cause a gross loss on digital property accounts in which the guarantee is higher than the actual revenue generated. These contracts generally range in duration from 2 to 5 years, though some can be shorter or longer.

Non-cancelable Purchase Obligations

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable purchase commitments with various parties to purchase primarily software and IT related-based services. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding non-cancelable purchase obligations in the amount of $20,819.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims. The Company investigates these claims as they arise and records a provision, as necessary. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that, it believes would individually or taken together, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 12:- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is a party to certain transaction-related agreements with Yahoo, pursuant to which the Company issued 39,525,691 Ordinary shares and 45,198,702 Non-voting Ordinary shares to Yahoo, and granting Yahoo the right to appoint one representative to the Company’s board of directors, resulting in Yahoo to become a principal shareholder effective the Transaction closing on January 17, 2023 (see Note 1b).

In June 2024, the Company repurchased 988,296 of the Non-voting Ordinary shares at a price of $4.07 per share, based on the terms stipulated in the agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,022, as part of the Buyback Program (see Note 9).

The Company and its affiliates are parties to several agreements in the ordinary course of business with Yahoo and its affiliates. Revenues from the related party are derived from Yahoo’s advertiser spend on the Company’s network, for which Yahoo is the billing entity. Traffic acquisition cost to the related party is compensation for placing Taboola’s platform on Yahoo`s digital property. In connection with these agreements, the Company recorded revenues from Yahoo in the amount of $44,936 and $12,307, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and in the amount of $157,362 and $26,611, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded traffic acquisition costs related to Yahoo in the amount of $53,104 and $9,869, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and in the amount of $205,148 and $9,869, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Certain traffic acquisition costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, noted herein, are unaffiliated with the Yahoo revenues recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in regards to Yahoo, the Company’s balances of trade receivables were $51,758 and $12,297, respectively, and its balances of trade payables were $50,621 and $38,657, respectively, mainly associated with the revenues presented on both a gross and net basis.

The Company and Yahoo, pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement entered into on November 28, 2022, each agreed to pay certain expenses in connection with the transaction and each party agreed to reimburse the other for some or all of these expenses. Under these arrangements, the Company recognized expenses, net of $416 and $1,297, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and of $1,441 and $3,920, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with Taboola’s accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”) and audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2024. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis is set forth in our 2023 Form 10-K, including information with respect to Taboola’s plans and strategy for Taboola’s business, and includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K and “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our 2023 Form 10-K and elsewhere herein, Taboola’s actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Taboola and its consolidated subsidiaries, and in references to monetary amounts, “dollars” and “$” refer to U.S. Dollars, and “NIS” refers to New Israeli Shekels.

Overview

Taboola is a technology company that powers recommendations across the Open Web with an artificial intelligence, or AI-based, algorithmic engine that we have developed since the Company began operations in 2007. Taboola has also expanded more directly into e-Commerce, allowing its partners with digital properties the ability to use its platforms to display advertising suited to the audiences of those partners’ web sites or other digital services.

We think of ourselves as a search engine, but in reverse — instead of expecting people to search for information, we recommend information to people or enable our partners to use our technology. You’ve seen us before: we partner with websites, devices, and mobile apps, which we collectively refer to as digital properties, to recommend editorial content and advertisements on the Open Web, outside of the closed ecosystems of the walled gardens such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

Digital properties use our technology platforms to achieve their business goals, such as driving new audiences to their sites and apps, or increasing engagement on site — and we don’t charge them for these services. We also provide a meaningful monetization opportunity to digital properties by surfacing paid recommendations by Advertisers. Unlike walled gardens, we are a business-to-business, or B2B, company with no competing consumer interests. We only interact with consumers through our partners’ digital properties, hence we do not compete with our partners for user attention. Our motivations are aligned. When our partners win, we win, and we grow together.

We empower Advertisers to leverage our proprietary AI-powered recommendation platform to reach targeted audiences utilizing effective, native ad formats across digital properties. We generate revenues primarily when people (consumers) click on, purchase from or, in some cases, view the ads that appear within our partners’ digital experiences via our recommendation platform. Advertisers pay us for those clicks, purchases or impressions, and we share the resulting revenue with the digital properties who display those ads and generate those clicks and downstream consumer actions.

Our powerful recommendation platform was built to address a technology challenge of significant complexity: predicting which recommendations users would be interested in, without explicit intent data or social media profiles. Search advertising platforms have access, at a minimum, to users’ search queries which indicate intent, while social media advertising platforms have access to rich personal profiles created by users. In contrast, we base our recommendations on an extensive dataset of context and user behavior derived from the intersection of thousands of digital properties and millions of recommended items, including ads and editorial content.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and those referred to

      in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Business and Macroeconomic Conditions

Global economic and geopolitical conditions have been increasingly volatile. Factors such as inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions and the wars in Israel and Ukraine negatively impacted advertising demand and our yields in 2022 in particular. Further, while the impacts of inflation have relatively stabilized over recent quarters, the higher equipment and labor costs needed to operate our business negatively impacted our business in 2022 and 2023 and caused us to enter 2024 with a lower revenue and Adjusted EBITDA run rate. We do not currently expect additional impact from these factors during 2024, though we continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions closely.

Maintaining and Growing Our Digital Property Partners

We engage with a diverse network of digital property partners, substantially all of which have contracts with us containing either an evergreen term or an exclusive partnership with us for multi-year terms at inception. These agreements typically require that our code be integrated on the digital property web page because of the nature of providing both editorial and paid recommendations. This means that in the vast majority of our business, we do not bid for ad placements, as traditionally happens in the advertising technology space, but rather see all users that visit the pages on which we appear. Due to our multi-year exclusive contracts and high retention rates, our supply is relatively consistent and predictable. We had approximately 12,000, 15,000 and 16,000 digital property partners in the fourth quarters of 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In 2023, we saw a decrease in the number of long-tail digital property partners on our network, partially due to our own efforts to clean up our network and reduce low performing networks. Despite the decrease in the number of digital property partners on the network, our overall volume of page views went up over 10% from Q4 2021 to Q4 2023, demonstrating that the decrease in the number of digital property partners in our network was driven by smaller digital property partners and more than offset by the addition of larger digital property partners.

Historically, we have had a strong record of growing the revenue generated from our digital property partners. We grow our digital property partner relationships in four ways. First, we grow the revenue from these partnerships by increasing our yield over time. We do this by improving our algorithms, expanding our Advertiser base and increasing the amount of data that helps target our ads. Second, we continuously innovate with new product offerings and features that increase revenue. Third, we innovate by launching new advertising formats. Fourth, we work closely with our digital property partners to find new placements and page types where we can help them drive more revenue.

For the majority of our digital properties partners, we have two primary models for sharing revenue with digital property partners. The most common model is a straight revenue share model. In this model, we agree to pay our partner a percentage of the revenue that we generate from advertisements placed on their digital properties. The second model includes guarantees. Under this model, we pay our partners the greater of a fixed percentage of the revenue we generate and a guaranteed amount per thousand page views. In the past, we have and may continue to be required to make significant payments under these guarantees.

Growing Our Advertiser Client Base

We have a large and growing network of Advertisers, across multiple verticals. We had approximately 17,000, 18,000 and 15,000 Advertiser clients working with us directly, or through advertising agencies, worldwide during the fourth quarters of 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline from 2022 to 2023 was primarily driven by a channel partner that had a large number of small advertisers that they reduced in 2023. A large portion of our revenue comes from Advertisers with their own specific performance goals, such as obtaining subscribers for email newsletters or acquiring leads for product offerings. These performance Advertisers use our service when they obtain a sufficient return on ad spend to justify their ad spend. We grow the revenue from performance Advertisers in three ways. First, we improve the performance of our network by developing new product features, improving our algorithms and optimizing our supply. Second, we secure increased budgets from existing Advertisers by offering new ad formats and helping them achieve additional goals. Third, we grow our overall Advertiser base by bringing on new Advertisers that we have not worked with previously.

Improving Network Yield

One way that we grow our revenue is by increasing the yield on our network, which is a general term for the revenue that we make per advertising placement. Because we generally fill close to 100% of advertising impressions available, yield is generally not affected by changing fill rates, but rather is impacted in four ways. First, we increase our yield by improving the algorithms that select the right ad for a particular user in a particular context. These algorithms are based on Deep Learning technology and are a key competitive advantage. Second, we continuously innovate and develop new product offerings and features for Advertisers, which help increase their success rates on our network and improve yield. Third, as we grow our Advertiser base and mix of Advertisers, including adding Advertisers able to pay higher rates, our yields increase because of increasing competitive pressure in our auction. Finally, we increase our yield by optimizing the way we work with digital properties, including changing formats and placements. Increasing yield drives higher revenues on all digital property partners. Increasing yield also generally increases margins for ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, for those digital property partners to whom we are paying guarantees. In periods of slower growth or periods of economic stress advertising demand may decline causing a decrease in yields despite our efforts.

Product and Research and Development

We view research and development expenditures as investments that help grow our business over time. These investments, which are primarily in the form of employee salaries and related expenditures and hardware infrastructure, can be broken into two categories. This first category includes product innovations that extend the capabilities of our current product offerings and help us expand into completely new markets. This includes heavy investment in AI (specifically Deep Learning) in the form of server purchases and expenses for data scientists. This category of investment is important to maintain the growth of the business but can also generally be adjusted up or down based on management’s perception of the potential value of different investment options. The second category of investments are those that are necessary to maintain our core business. These investments include items such as purchasing servers and other infrastructure necessary to handle increasing loads of recommendations that need to be served, as well as the personnel necessary to maintain the value delivered to our customers and digital property partners, such as investments in code maintenance for our existing products. This type of investment scales at a slower rate than the growth of our core business.

Managing Seasonality

The global advertising industry has historically been characterized by seasonal trends that also apply to the digital advertising ecosystem in which we operate. In particular, Advertisers have historically spent relatively more in the fourth quarter of the calendar year to coincide with the year-end holiday shopping season, and relatively less in the first quarter. We expect these seasonality trends to continue, and our operating results will be affected by those trends with revenue and margins being seasonally strongest in the fourth quarter and seasonally weakest in the first quarter.

Privacy Trends and Government Regulation

We are subject to U.S. and international laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, digital advertising and the collection of user data. In addition, large Internet and technology companies such as Google and Apple are making their own decisions as to how to protect consumer privacy, which impacts the entire digital ecosystem. Because we power editorial recommendations, digital properties typically embed our code directly on their web pages. This makes us less susceptible to impact by many of these regulations and industry trends because we are able to drop first party cookies. In addition, because of this integration on our partners’ pages, we have rich contextual information to use to further refine the targeting of our recommendations.

Yahoo Partnership

In November 2022, we announced we had entered into a 30-year exclusive commercial agreement with Yahoo, under which we will power native advertising across all of Yahoo’s digital properties, expanding our native advertising offering. In January 2023 we closed on the various related agreements, including the issuance of 39,525,691 Ordinary shares and 45,198,702 Non-voting Ordinary shares to Yahoo. For further information see Note 1b and Note 12 of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We are presenting the following non-GAAP financial measures because we use them, among other things, as key measures for our management and board of directors in managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe they also provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors. The use of these measures may improve comparability of our results over time by adjusting for items that may vary from period to period or not be representative of our ongoing operations.

These non-GAAP measures are subject to significant limitations, including those identified below. In addition, other companies may use similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. They should be considered as supplementary information in addition to GAAP operating, liquidity and financial performance measures.

ex-TAC Gross Profit

We calculate ex-TAC Gross Profit as gross profit adjusted to add back other cost of revenues and non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset. We add back the non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset because it is unique primarily due to the issuance of equity rather than cash, such that ex-TAC Gross Profit includes solely direct cash contribution components.

We believe that ex-TAC Gross Profit is useful because traffic acquisition cost, or 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. We use ex-TAC Gross Profit as part of our business planning, for example in decisions regarding the timing and amount of investments in areas such as infrastructure.

Limitations on the use of ex-TAC Gross Profit include the following:

Traffic acquisition cost is a significant component of our cost of revenues but is not the only component; and
ex-TAC Gross Profit is not comparable to our gross profit and by definition ex-TAC Gross Profit presented for any period will be higher than our gross profit for that period.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before finance income (expenses), net, income tax expenses, depreciation and amortization and non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation including Connexity holdback compensation expenses and other noteworthy income and expense items such as M&A costs and restructuring costs which may vary from period-to-period.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us and others to measure our performance without regard to items such as share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash amortization of the Commercial agreement asset, and interest expense and other items that can vary substantially depending on our financing and capital structure, and the method by which assets are acquired. We use Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, and in communications with our board of directors. We may also use Adjusted EBITDA as a metric for determining payment of cash or other incentive compensation.

Limitations on the use of Adjusted EBITDA include the following:

Although depreciation expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated 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<br> expenditure requirements;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, to the extent applicable for a period presented: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or if<br> applicable principal payments on debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
--- ---
The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results.

We calculate Ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to ex-TAC Gross Profit 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.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We calculate Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude revaluation of our Warrants liability, share-based compensation expense, including Connexity holdback compensation expenses, M&A costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the non-cash based Commercial agreement asset, foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses), net, and other noteworthy items that change from period to period and related tax effects.

We believe that Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) is useful because it allows us and others to measure our operating performance and trends without regard to items such as the revaluation of our Warrants liability, share-based compensation expense, cash and non-cash M&A costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the non-cash based Commercial agreement asset, foreign currency exchange rate (gains) losses, net and other noteworthy items that change from period to period and related tax effects. These items can vary substantially depending on our share price, acquisition activity, the method by which assets are acquired and other factors.

Limitations on the use of Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) include the following:

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) excludes share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation<br> strategy;
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) will generally be more favorable than our net income (loss) for the same period due to the nature of the items being excluded from its calculation; and

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

Free Cash Flow

We calculate Free Cash Flow as Net cash flow provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment, including capitalized internal-use software.

We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to provide management and others with information about the amount of cash generated from our operations that can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet. We expect our Free Cash Flow to fluctuate in future periods as we invest in our business to support our plans for growth.

Limitations on the use of Free Cash Flow include the following:

It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. For example, cash is still required to satisfy other working capital needs, including short-term investment policy, restricted<br> cash, repayment of loan and intangible assets;
Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities; and

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues

All of our Revenues are generated from Advertisers with whom we enter into commercial arrangements, defining the terms of our service and the basis for our charges. Generally, our charges are based on a CPC, CPM or CPA basis. For campaigns priced on a CPC basis, we recognize these Revenues when a user clicks on an advertisement we deliver. For campaigns priced on a CPM basis, we recognize these Revenues when an advertisement is displayed. For campaigns priced on a performance-based CPA basis, the Company generates revenue when a user makes an acquisition.

Cost of revenues

Our cost of revenue primarily includes traffic acquisition cost and also includes other cost of revenue.

Traffic acquisition cost

Traffic acquisition cost, or TAC, consists primarily of cost related to digital property compensation for placing our platform on their digital property and cost for advertising impressions purchased from real-time advertising exchanges and other third parties. Traffic acquisition cost also includes up-front payments, incentive payments, or bonuses paid to the digital property partners and the amortization of the non-cash based Commercial agreement asset (see Note 1b of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements) which are amortized over the shorter of respective contractual terms and the economic benefit period of the digital property arrangement. For the majority of our digital properties partners, we have two primary compensation models for digital properties. The most common model is a revenue share model. In this model, we agree to pay a percentage of our revenue generated from advertisements placed on the digital properties. The second model includes guarantees. Under this model, we pay the greater of a percentage of the revenue generated or a committed guaranteed amount per thousand page views (“Minimum guarantee model”). Actual compensation is settled on a monthly basis. Expenses under both the revenue share model as well as the Minimum guarantee model are recorded as incurred, based on actual revenues generated by us at the respective month.

Other cost of revenues

Other cost of revenues includes data center and related costs, depreciation expense related to hardware supporting our platform, amortization expense related to capitalized internal-use software and acquired technology, digital and services taxes, content cost, personnel costs, and allocated facilities costs. Personnel costs include salaries, bonuses, share-based compensation, and employee benefit costs, and are primarily attributable to our operations group, which supports our platform and our Advertisers.

Gross profit

Gross profit, calculated as revenues less cost of revenues, has been, and will continue to be, affected by various factors, including fluctuations in the amount and mix of revenue and the amount and timing of investments to expand our digital properties partners and Advertisers base. We hope to increase both our Gross profit in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue through enhanced operational efficiency and economies of scale.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses, share-based compensation and employee benefits costs, allocated facilities costs, professional services and depreciation. We expect research and development expenses to increase in future periods to support our growth, including continuing to invest in optimization, accuracy and reliability of our platform and other technology improvements to support and drive efficiency in our operations. These expenses may vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, depending primarily upon when we choose to make more significant investments.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of payroll and other personnel related costs, including salaries, share-based compensation, employee benefits, and travel for our sales and marketing departments, advertising and promotion, rent and depreciation and amortization expenses, particularly related to the acquired intangibles. We expect to increase selling and marketing expenses to support the overall growth in our business.

Table of Contents

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and other personnel related costs, including salaries, share-based compensation, employee benefits and expenses for executive management, legal, finance and others. In addition, general and administrative expenses include fees for professional services and occupancy costs. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase as we scale up headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

Finance income (expenses), net

Finance income (expenses), net, primarily consists of interest income (expense) including amortization of loan and credit facility issuance costs, Warrants liability fair value adjustments, gains (losses) from foreign exchange fluctuations and bank fees.

Income tax benefit (expenses)

The statutory corporate tax rate in Israel was 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, although we are entitled to certain tax benefits under Israeli law.

Pursuant to the Israeli Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments-1959 (the “Investments Law”) and its various amendments, under which we have been granted “Privileged Enterprise” status, we were granted a tax exemption status for the years 2018 and 2019.

For 2021 and subsequent tax years, we adopted the “Preferred Technology Enterprises” (“PTE”) Incentives Regime (Amendment 73 to the Investment Law) granting a 12% tax rate in central Israel on income deriving from benefited intangible assets, subject to a number of conditions being fulfilled, including a minimal amount or ratio of annual research and development expenditure and research and development employees, as well as having at least 25% of annual income derived from exports to large markets. PTE is defined as an enterprise which meets the aforementioned conditions and for which total consolidated revenues of its parent company and all subsidiaries are less than NIS 10 billion.

As of September 30, 2024, we have an accumulated tax loss carry-forward of approximately $64.5 million in Israel. The tax loss can be offset indefinitely. Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective jurisdictions.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenues increased by $72.8 million, or 20.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Existing digital property partners, including the growth of new digital property partners (beyond the revenue contribution determined based on the run-rate revenue generated by the partners when they are first on-boarded) increased by approximately $51.1 million. This increase was primarily driven by new revenue from advertisers transferred from Yahoo, as well as growth in spend from existing Taboola advertisers. New digital property partners contributed approximately $21.7 million of new Revenues on a 12-month run rate basis calculated based on their first full month on the network.

Gross profit increased by $32.2 million, or 32.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased by $36.6 million, or 28.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to revenue from advertisers transferred from Yahoo, as well as growth in spend from existing Taboola advertisers.

Total cost of revenues increased by $40.6 million, or 15.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Traffic acquisition cost increased by $36.2 million, or 15.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Traffic acquisition cost increased at a rate lower than revenue primarily due to increased effective margin on our Yahoo partnership as a result of applying the mediation accruals as TAC offset rather than recognizing them as revenue.

The cost of guarantees (total payments due under guarantee arrangements in excess of amounts the Company would otherwise be required to pay under revenue sharing arrangements) as a percentage of traffic acquisition costs was approximately 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Other cost of revenues increased by $4.4 million, or 15.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, mainly as a result of a $2.8 million increase in data, content, communication and IT related expenses and a $0.9 million increase in employee related costs.

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 2.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to depreciation expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $8.1 million, or 13.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to two factors. First, the year ago period was favorably impacted by a decrease in employee and subcontractors related costs. Second, employee and subcontractor headcount and related costs, including share-based compensation expenses, increased as we invested in resources to help support our revenue growth.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to decrease of $0.3 million in credit losses expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in employee and subcontractor headcount and related costs, including share-based compensation expenses.

Finance expenses, net decreased by $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, mainly attributable to $1.6 million increase in foreign currency exchange rate gains, net, increase of $1.0 million due to Warrants liability devaluation and decrease of $0.8 million in interest expenses.

Income tax expenses increased by $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher taxable income overall as well as adjustments in deferred tax expenses related to the U.S. entity.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenues increased by $255.3 million, or 25.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. New digital property partners contributed approximately $268.6 million of new Revenues on a 12-month run rate basis calculated based on their first full month on the network. Existing digital property partners, including the growth of new digital property partners (beyond the revenue contribution determined based on the run-rate revenue generated by the partners when they are first on-boarded) decreased by approximately $13.3 million. This decrease was primarily driven by lower advertiser rates on existing digital property partners due to spend being served on new Yahoo supply added to the network partially mitigated by continued growth on Yahoo supply.

Gross profit increased by $69.3 million, or 24.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Ex-TAC Gross Profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased by $86.1 million, or 23.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to revenue from advertisers transferred from Yahoo, as well as growth in spend from existing Taboola advertisers.

Total cost of revenues increased by $186.0 million, or 25.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Traffic acquisition cost increased by $169.1 million, or 25.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The cost of guarantees (total payments due under guarantee arrangements in excess of amounts the Company would otherwise be required to pay under revenue sharing arrangements) as a percentage of traffic acquisition costs were approximately 19% and 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Other cost of revenues increased by $16.8 million, or 21.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of a $8.8 million increase in data, content, communication and IT related expenses, $3.4 million increase in depreciation expenses related to new product innovation and $2.8 million increase in digital service tax expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 4.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to $2.5 million increase in employee and subcontractor headcount and related costs, including share-based compensation expenses, reflecting our continued effort to enhance our product offerings and a $1.7 million increase in depreciation expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $18.8 million, or 10.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to $16.9 million increase in employee and subcontractor headcount and related costs, including share-based compensation expenses, supporting our growth, and $1.4 million in other marketing activities.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.1 million, or 6.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a result of a decrease of $2.3 million in insurance expenses in connection with the Yahoo arrangement, a decrease of $2.3 million in credit losses expenses and a decrease of $1.7 million in employee and subcontractors related costs, including share-based compensation expenses, and, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in depreciation expenses.

Finance expenses, net decreased by $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, mainly attributable to $3.9 million Warrants liability devaluation and $3.8 million decrease in interest expense due to the voluntary repayments of a portion of the long-term loan in 2023.

Income tax expenses increased by $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher taxable income overall as well as adjustments in deferred tax expenses related to the U.S. entity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs are for working capital, personnel costs, contractual obligations, including payments to digital property partners, office leases and software and information technology costs, capital expenditures for servers and capitalized software development, payment of interest and required principal payments on our long-term loan and other commitments. We fund these cash needs primarily from cash generated from operations, as well as from cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet when required. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated cash from operations of $122.4 million and $61.6 million, respectively.

As part of our growth strategy, we have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in research and development and in our technology platform. We also plan to selectively consider possible future acquisitions that are attractive opportunities we deem strategic and value-enhancing. To fund our growth, depending on the magnitude and timing of our growth investments and the size and structure of any possible future acquisition, we may supplement our available cash from operations with issuances of equity or debt securities and/or make other borrowings, which could be material.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $217.2 million and $176.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, and $5.4 million and $5.7 million in short and long-term restricted deposits, respectively, used, mainly, as security for our lease commitments and $5.7 million of short-term investments as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 we did not hold short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and highly liquid marketable securities investments and money market funds, with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Short-term investments generally consist of bank deposits, U.S. government treasuries, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and U.S. agency bonds.

We believe that this, together with net proceeds from our engagements with Advertisers and digital property partners, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. In the future, we may be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in order to support our continued capital expenditures and operations. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies, this could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our business, growth, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

On August 9, 2022 we entered into an incremental revolving credit facility amendment to our existing senior secured credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $90.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The proceeds of the Revolving Facility can be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are subject to customary borrowing conditions and will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on Term SOFR or Base Rate plus a fixed margin. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default as well as a financial covenant, which places a limit on our allowable net leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

As of September 30, 2024, our outstanding principal amount of debt under our long-term loan was $152.7 million with the remaining principal amount due at maturity on September 1, 2028.

Share Buyback Program

Our board of directors authorized a share buyback program for the repurchase of our outstanding Ordinary shares, which commenced in June 2023 and does not have an expiration date (the “Buyback Program”). In 2023, our board of directors authorized up to $80.0 million of buybacks under the Buyback Program. In February 2024, our board of directors authorized up to $100.0 million for use under the Buyback Program, including any remaining authority from the 2023 board of directors authorization, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Israeli Companies Law and the Companies Regulations  (Reliefs for Corporations, Which Securities Are Listed on Foreign Stock Exchanges), 2000. As permitted by the Buyback Program, share repurchases may be made from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market, including through trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1, at the discretion of our management and as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Buyback Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and the number of shares repurchased may depend upon market and economic conditions and other factors. The Buyback Program may be discontinued, modified or suspended at any time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 15.5 million of our shares consisting of 14.5 million Ordinary shares and 1.0 million Non-voting Ordinary shares at an average price of $4.14 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees of $0.4 million). As of September 30, 2024 the Company had remaining authorization from our board of directors to repurchase Ordinary shares up to an aggregate amount of $55.6 million, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Israeli Companies Law and the Companies Regulations. See Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, Note 9 and Note 12 of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including the risks and uncertainties set forth in our 2023 Form 10-K under Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

The $124.8 million of non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $76.0 million, share-based compensation expense related to vested equity awards of $51.9 million and Commercial agreement asset amortization of $1.4 million, partially offset by decrease of $4.6 million due to revaluation of Warrants liability.

The $34.5 million increase in cash resulting from changes in working capital primarily consisted of a $23.8 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, $23.0 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities and $13.0 million decrease in trade receivables, net, partially offset by a $12.9 million decrease in trade payables and  $11.0 million decrease in deferred taxes, net.

The $120.4 million of non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $70.7 million and share-based compensation expense related to vested equity awards of $48.9 million.

The $26.9 million increase in cash resulting from changes in working capital primarily consisted of $24.6 million decrease in trade receivables, net, increase of $5.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, $2.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and long-term prepaid expenses and $2.2 million increase in trade payables, partially offset by $8.2 million decrease in deferred taxes, net.

Investing Activities

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities was $53.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of $32.3 million repayment of the current portion of our long-term loan, $23.2 million repurchase of Ordinary shares and $3.2 million payment of tax withholding for share-based compensation, offset by $5.4 million proceeds received from share option exercises and vested RSUs

Contractual Obligations

The following table discloses aggregate information about material contractual obligations and the periods in which they are due as of September 30, 2024. Future events could cause actual payments to differ from these estimates.

Contractual Obligations by Period
2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter
(dollars in thousands)
Debt Obligations (1) $ $ $ $ $ 152,735 $
Operating Leases (2) 6,594 23,171 18,688 11,805 6,050 8,531
Non-cancellable purchase obligations (3) 9,778 6,898 3,383 760
Total Contractual Obligations $ 16,372 $ 30,069 $ 22,071 $ 12,565 $ 158,785 $ 8,531

(1) Due to our voluntary prepayments, we have no remaining obligations to make quarterly amortization payments under our long-term loan.
(2) Represents future minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating lease agreements.
--- ---
(3) Primarily represents non-cancelable amounts for contractual commitments in respect of software and information technology.
--- ---

The commitment amounts in the table above are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. The table does not include obligations under agreements that we can cancel without a significant penalty. The table above does not reflect any reduction for prepaid obligations as of September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, we have a provision related to unrecognized tax benefit liabilities totaling $9.5 million and other provisions related to severance pay and contribution plans, which have been excluded from the table above as we do not believe it is practicable to make reliable estimates of the periods in which payments for these obligations will be made.

Other Commercial Commitments

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into agreements with certain digital properties, under which, in some cases we agree to pay them a guaranteed amount, generally per thousand page views on a monthly basis. These agreements could cause a gross loss on digital property accounts in which the guarantee is higher than the actual revenue generated. These contracts generally range in duration from 2 to 5 years, though some can be shorter or longer. These contracts are not included in the table above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the period covered by this report, there were no material recent accounting pronouncements impacting our accounting policies that are not already discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition results of operations are based upon our consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our consolidated financial statements and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A 10% increase or decrease of the NIS, Euro, British pound sterling, or the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar would have impacted the consolidated statements of income

        \(loss\) as follows:
Operating income (loss) impact<br><br> <br>nine months ended<br><br> <br>September 30,
2024 2023
(dollars in thousands)
+10% -10% +10% -10%
NIS/USD $ (1,260 ) $ 1,260 $ 398 $ (398 )
EUR/USD $ 3,077 $ (3,077 ) $ 214 $ (214 )
GBP/USD $ (2,183 ) $ 2,183 $ (470 ) $ 470
JPY/USD $ 700 $ (700 ) $ 639 $ (639 )

To reduce the impact of foreign exchange risks associated with forecasted future cash flows related to payroll expenses and other personnel related costs denominated in NIS and their volatility, we have established a hedging program and use derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, call and put options, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or yield of fixed-income investments may decline if interest rates change.

Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments are held mainly for working capital purposes. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital and the fulfillment of liquidity needs. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, and the market value of those securities.

- 43 -


Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $152.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our long-term loan with a variable interest rate. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for information regarding our incremental revolving credit facility amendment.

Fluctuations in interest rates may impact the level of interest expense recorded on future borrowings. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, to effectively hedge the effect of interest rate changes or for speculative purposes.

Inflation Risk

The impacts of inflation have resulted in higher equipment and labor costs, consistent with its impact on the general economy. If our costs, in particular labor, sales and marketing, information system, technology and utilities costs, were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we might not be able to effectively mitigate such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Credit Risk

Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally not significant, as we routinely assess the creditworthiness of our partners and Advertisers. Historically, we generally have not experienced any material losses related to receivables from Advertisers. We do not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in our accounts receivable.

As of September 30, 2024, we had a single customer representing 17.4% of the trade receivables balance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a single customer accounted for 10.4% and 12.3%, respectively, of total revenues. As of December 31, 2023, no single customer represented 10% or more of trade receivables. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Notes 2 and 12 of Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2024, we maintained cash balances primarily in banks in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel. In the United States and United Kingdom, the Company deposits are maintained with commercial banks, which are insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”), which is authorized by the Bank of England (acting in its capacity as the Prudential Regulation Authority), respectively. In Israel, commercial banks do not have government-sponsored deposit insurance. Historically we have not experienced losses related to these balances and believe our credit risk in this area is reasonable. As of September 30, 2024, we maintained cash balances with U.S. and United Kingdom banks that significantly exceed FDIC and FSCS insurance limits and expect we will continue to do so. We regularly monitor bank financial strength and other factors in determining where to maintain cash deposits but may not be able to fully mitigate the risk of possible bank failures.

As of September 30, 2024 the Company did not hold short-term investments.

Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading the risk across a number of major financial institutions. However, failure of one or more of these financial institutions is possible and could result in losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our Ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. We describe risks associated with our business in Part I, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” of our 2023 Form 10-K. Each of the risks described in those Risk Factors may be relevant to decisions regarding an investment in or ownership of our Ordinary shares. The occurrence of any such risks could have a significant adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, revenue, results of operations, growth, or ability to accomplish our strategic objectives, and could cause the trading price of our Ordinary shares to decline. You should carefully consider such risks and the other information contained in this report, including our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, before making investment decisions related to our Ordinary shares.

There are no additional material changes to the Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10-K of which we are currently aware; but our Risk Factors cannot anticipate and fully address all possible risks of investing in our Ordinary shares, the risks of investing in our Ordinary shares may change over time, and additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of, or that we do not consider to be material, may emerge. Accordingly, you are advised to consider additional sources of information and exercise your own judgment in addition to the information we provide.

In 2023, our board of directors authorized up to $80.0 million of buybacks under the Buyback Program. In February 2024, our board of directors authorized up to $100.0 million for use under the Buyback Program, including any<br> remaining authority from the 2023 board of directors authorization, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Israeli Companies Law and the Companies Regulations (Reliefs for Corporations, Which Securities Are Listed on<br> Foreign Stock Exchanges) 2000. The Buyback Program permits us to purchase our Ordinary shares from time to time in the open market, including through trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately<br> negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of any share buybacks will be subject to market conditions and other factors determined by the Company. The Company may suspend, modify or discontinue the program at any time<br> in its sole discretion without prior notice.

THE PREBID ADDENDUM

This Prebid Addendum (this “Addendum”) adds the functionality described below to the Digital Property and Demand Services Agreement (the “Underlying Agreement”) between Taboola, Inc. (“Company”) and Yahoo Inc. (“Yahoo”). Reference is made to the “Ad Platforms Agreement – Exchange” between Yahoo EMEA Limited (formerly, Verizon Media EMEA Limited) and Taboola.com Ltd. dated December 1, 2020, which was adopted pursuant to the Underlying Agreement by and between Yahoo and Company (each, a “Party”, and collectively, the “Parties”), and amended by the Parties through the “Addendum for RTB Buying”, as of May 1, 2023 (collectively, the “Exchange Agreement”). This Addendum, effective as of the date of the last signature below (the “Addendum Effective Date”), shall become a further Addendum to the Underlying Agreement by supplementing the terms of the Exchange Agreement as set forth below. All capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Exchange Agreement.

WHEREAS, Yahoo and Company entered into the Exchange Agreement for Services so that Company’s Media Buyers could buy and bid on online media Inventory using Yahoo’s Exchange; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, Yahoo desires to utilize a Prebid Product (defined below) to enable Company’s Ad spend on or monetization of Yahoo Ad Inventory; for purposes of this Addendum, “Yahoo Ad Inventory” means Yahoo’s owned, operated and/or managed Ad inventory where Yahoo is a Media Seller (excluding any Native Advertisement inventory) and “Prebid Product” means any header bidding solution used by Yahoo on Yahoo Ad Inventory (whether first-party or third-party solutions). For the avoidance of doubt the Ad inventory referenced in Yahoo Ad Inventory shall mean display ads and display video advertisements.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree to supplement the terms of the Exchange Agreement, solely for purposes of whenever the Company is monetizing the Yahoo Ad Inventory through the Prebid Product, as follows with respect to the terms:

(Header Bidding Fee) of the Underlying Agreement shall apply to HB Placements (as defined therein) monetized via the<br> Header Bidding Adapter (as defined therein) in connection with the Prebid Product. With respect to any payment terms in the Exchange Agreement, Yahoo may at times invoice Company through an Affiliate; in such case, so long as<br> Company pays the Yahoo Affiliate that has issued the invoice to Company, Company’s payment obligations to Yahoo under the Exchange Agreement for such invoice amount shall be considered satisfied, subject to all other applicable<br> terms set forth in the Underlying Agreement. [***].
2. Prebid Product. When Company is monetizing Yahoo Ad Inventory through the Prebid Product, any references made to Yahoo’s “Exchange” (or “Yahoo’s Ad Exchange”) or to “Ad Platforms” (or through use of<br> “Ad Platforms”, where in context such phrase means through use of Yahoo’s Exchange by Company or its Media Buyers for purposes of bidding to purchase Media Sellers’ Ad inventory), or substantially similar in principle, shall instead<br> be replaced by the term “Prebid Product”. Any reference to the term “Services” (if any such term is used thereunder) includes, without limitation, when Company’s Media Buyers bid directly through the Prebid Product.

3. Authorized Use. [***]. [***]. Through Company’s use of the Prebid Product, Company will receive the Bid Request Stream (defined below) containing certain bid requests as well as information from<br> Yahoo intended to help Company and its Media Buyers identify certain characteristics related to Placements and submit Bids on such Placements (collectively, “Bid Request Data”). “Bid Request Stream” means the series of bid requests transmitted from Yahoo to Company for the purpose of soliciting Bids on Placements. In addition, subject to compliance with data privacy,<br> security and operational restrictions as determined by Yahoo, Yahoo will work with Company in good faith on: (a) enabling local storage for the Prebid Product, and (b) using a version of Prebid.js open source software that is<br> compatible with the Header Bidding Adapter.
