"The first quarter of 2026 marks a definitive shift from stabilization to execution. By exceeding the midpoint of our guidance range across all key metrics, we have demonstrated that our leaner, more disciplined operating model is delivering real results," said Amit Gupta, CEO of Cardlytics. "While we navigated the anticipated shift in our banking mix, our ability to drive high-intent commerce for our advertisers remains our core competitive advantage. We have a clear and focused path to drive long-term value for our shareholders."
"We continue to execute against our game plan for achieving sequential growth and self sustainability throughout 2026,” said David Evans, CFO of Cardlytics.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements related to driving long-term value for shareholders and our financial guidance for the second quarter of 2026.

Divestitures and Presentation
On March 24, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the Bridg Sale. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, PAR delivered to us 1,810,222 shares of PAR’s common stock as consideration for the Bridg Sale.
The results of Bridg business are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of Bridg business have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all prior periods presented. The Company ceased depreciating and amortizing its long-lived assets for the Bridg business which primarily included acquired intangibles assets, capitalized software, and right-of-use assets as of the held for sale date, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance Metrics
To supplement the financial measures presented in our press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements. We provide certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to our operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies.
We have presented Billings, Adjusted Contribution, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per share as non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Billings represents the gross amount billed to customers and marketers for services in order to generate revenue. Cardlytics platform Billings is recognized gross of both Consumer Incentives and Partner Share. Cardlytics platform GAAP Revenue is recognized net of Consumer Incentives and gross of Partner Share. Bridg platform Billings is the same as Bridg platform GAAP Revenue. Adjusted Contribution measures the degree by which Revenue generated from our marketers exceeds the cost to obtain the purchase data and the digital advertising space from our partners. Adjusted Contribution demonstrates how incremental Revenue on our platforms generates incremental amounts to support our sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and other investments. Adjusted Contribution is calculated by taking our total Revenue less our Partner Share and other third-party costs. Adjusted Contribution does not take into account all costs associated with generating Revenue from advertising campaigns, including sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses, which we do not take into consideration when making decisions on how to manage our advertising campaigns. Management views Adjusted Contribution as the most relevant metric to measure the financial performance as it reflects the dollars we keep after all of our partners are paid. Adjusted EBITDA represents our Net Loss before interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense continuing operations; foreign currency loss (gain); loss on investment; change in contingent consideration and Income (loss) from discontinued operations and, in applicable periods, certain other income and expense items, such as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; income tax benefit; gain on debt extinguishment; reduction in force and deferred implementation costs. Adjusted Net Loss as our Net Loss before stock-based compensation expense continuing operations; foreign currency loss (gain); loss on investment; gain on divestiture; change in contingent consideration; and, in applicable periods, certain other income and expense items, such as impairment of goodwill, gain on debt extinguishment and intangible assets, reduction in force and income tax benefit. We define Adjusted Net Loss per share as Adjusted Net Loss divided by our weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash used in operating activities, plus acquisition of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs and, in applicable periods, acquisition of patents. We believe free cash flow is useful to measure the funds generated in a given period that are available for distribution or to sustain the business. We believe this supplemental information enhances stockholders' ability to evaluate our performance.
We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of our core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance.
We define MQUs as targetable customers that have made a transaction using their account with an FI Partner or non-FI Partner in a given month, excluding pilot supply during the ramp up period, and whose transaction data was shared with Cardlytics. We then calculate a monthly average of these MQUs for the periods presented. We believe that the number of MQUs is an indicator of the Cardlytics platform's ability to drive engagement and is reflective of the consumer base and insights that we offer to marketers. We define ACPU as the Cardlytics platform Adjusted Contribution generated in the applicable period, divided by Cardlytics average MQUs in the applicable period. We believe that Adjusted Contribution is the most relevant metric as it reflects the value Cardlytics keeps after subtracting out rewards, Partner Share and other third-party costs. We believe that ACPU measures the Cardlytics platform's efficiency in converting marketer budgets into the value generated by customer engagement.
