"In the third quarter, our Connected TV revenue grew 37% year-over-year, outperforming the broader market through our leading position on the CTV HomeScreen — the front door to the living-room experience," said David Kostman, CEO of Teads. "Like many companies across our sector, we are navigating the significant headwinds currently impacting the open internet, and we are using this moment to focus on driving broader adoption of our Enterprise omnichannel offerings. We are seeing some improvement in trends in the early part of the fourth quarter and are taking decisive and appropriate actions to improve our revenue trajectory, optimize our cost structure, and strengthen our balance sheet" added Kostman.
Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Business Highlights:
•CTV Momentum:
◦Delivered CTV revenue growth of 37% year-over-year, with CTV now representing 12% of our Q3 revenue and accounting for approximately 20% of our Enterprise business, reaching year-to-date revenue of nearly $100 million.
◦Expanded global Whale TV partnership to give Teads Ad Manager buyers native HomeScreen access across 100+ countries.
◦Teads selected as the launch DSP for Telly’s persistent, 100% viewable HomeScreen ads, which are integrated programmatically via Magnite.
•Omnichannel Adoption: Branding customers utilizing omnichannel campaigns represented 15% of branding revenue, up from 10% in Q3 2025.
•Joint Business Partnership Renewals: Renewed several Joint Business Partnerships, with brands including BMW Group, Lenovo, Shell, and Kia.
•Teads Ad Manager: Launched the next evolution of our buying platform, which now leverages agentic workflows through Model Context Protocols (MCP) and is designed to address cross-channel fragmentation by bridging upper-funnel CTV branding with lower-funnel conversions in one agentic platform.
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP performance measures, we use the following supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, and allocate our resources: Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, free cash flow before interest payments, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to significant limitations, including those we identify below. In addition, other companies in our industry may define these measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue, gross profit, net income (loss), diluted EPS, or cash flows from operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP.
Because we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results is affected by foreign exchange fluctuations. We calculate certain constant currency measures and foreign currency impacts by translating the current year’s reported amounts, excluding new acquisitions, into comparable amounts using the prior year’s exchange rates. All constant currency financial information that may be presented is non-GAAP and should be used as a supplement to our
reported operating results. We believe that this information is helpful to our management and investors to assess our operating performance on a comparable basis. However, these measures are not intended to replace amounts presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures calculated by other companies.
Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. The Company has not provided quantitative reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable, without unreasonable effort, to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all excluded items that may arise during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Such excluded items could be material to the reported results individually or in the aggregate.
Ex-TAC Gross Profit
Ex-TAC gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross profit is the most comparable GAAP measure. In calculating Ex-TAC gross profit, we add back other cost of revenue, including the non-cash impairment of a publisher commercial agreement asset, to gross profit. Ex-TAC gross profit may fluctuate in the future due to various factors, including, but not limited to, seasonality and changes in the number of media partners and advertisers, advertiser demand or user engagements.
We present Ex-TAC gross profit, Ex-TAC gross margin (calculated as Ex-TAC gross profit as a percentage of revenue), and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Ex-TAC gross profit, because they are key profitability measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide information to investors and the market in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. There are limitations on the use of Ex-TAC gross profit in that traffic acquisition cost is a significant component of our total cost of revenue but not the only component and, by definition, Ex-TAC gross profit presented for any period will be higher than gross profit for that period. A potential limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that other companies, including companies in our industry, which have a similar business, may define Ex-TAC gross profit differently, which may make comparisons difficult. As a result, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue or gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before gain on repurchase of long-term debt; interest expense; other expense (income) and interest income, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; and other income or expenses that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring, and impairment charges. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because it is a key profitability measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, develop short-term and long-term operational plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplemental measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS
Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income (loss) excluding items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including but not limited to gain on repurchase of long-term debt, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges, impairment charges, bridge facility costs, valuation allowance recognition, as well as the related income tax effects. Adjusted net income (loss), as defined above, is also presented on a per diluted share basis. We present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted EPS as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate performance comparisons from period to period. However, adjusted net income (loss) or adjusted diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or diluted earnings per share reported in accordance with GAAP.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus direct acquisition costs. This quarter we are presenting a new non-GAAP measure, free cash flow before interest payments, which is defined as free cash flow plus cash paid for interest. Free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and free cash flow before interest payments are supplementary measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our ability to generate cash and we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of our cash flows. Free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and free cash flow before interest payments should be considered as supplemental measures, as the adjustments include actual cash outlays which impact cash flows, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measures of our liquidity or financial performance that are calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

Teads Names Michael Coyle as Chief Financial Officer
Coyle brings extensive global finance and transformation experience to Teads; succeeds Jason Kiviat after a highly impactful 13-year tenure.
NEW YORK, NY – November 5, 2026 – Teads Holding Co. (Nasdaq: TEAD), the omnichannel outcomes platform (the “Company” or “Teads”), today announced the appointment of Michael Coyle as Chief Financial Officer, effective November 11, 2026. Coyle succeeds Jason Kiviat, who is stepping down from the CFO role after 13 years of dedicated leadership at the Company. To ensure a seamless handover, Kiviat will remain with Teads in a transitional and advisory capacity through the coming months.
Coyle brings a wealth of global finance and transformation experience to Teads, alongside a proven track record of optimizing capital structures and driving operational excellence at major international organizations. His appointment aligns directly with Teads’ strategic focus on accelerating agility, driving operational efficiencies, achieving a sustainable capital structure and prioritizing high-impact growth initiatives.
Prior to joining Teads, Coyle served as Managing Director at The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), where he held senior leadership roles spanning corporate FP&A, divisional CFO responsibilities, and enterprise transformation. Previously, he held senior leadership positions at Merck & Co. in the United States and Switzerland, leading global finance operations, post-merger integration, and large-scale business transformation programs.
"On behalf of our board and leadership team, I want to express our gratitude to Jason for his phenomenal contributions over the past 13 years," said David Kostman, CEO of Teads. "Jason has been an invaluable partner and a key pillar of our organization. Michael is uniquely equipped for our next chapter and brings a proven track record of executing complex global business transformations, instilling operational rigor and fostering a culture of accountability. We are thrilled to welcome him to the team."
"Teads has built a differentiated platform and an exceptional team," said Michael Coyle. "I am stepping into this role because I believe in the company’s strategic plan and its ability to capture the opportunities ahead. I look forward to partnering with David, the leadership team and the exceptional finance team Jason has built to streamline our focus and drive the operational efficiencies necessary to deliver sustainable, long-term value."
Kiviat will work closely with Coyle and the leadership team to transition his responsibilities, ensuring continuity for Teads’ employees, partners, and financial stakeholders.
"It has been a privilege to help build the Company over the last 13 years and work alongside such a talented group of people," said Jason Kiviat. "I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. As I transition to my next chapter, I am highly confident in Michael’s ability to lead the financial organization and I look forward to supporting him and the leadership team in ensuring a smooth and successful handover."
