The Company uses its proprietary predictive software algorithms coupled with its deep insights into expressed consumer intent and purchasing habits to price and deliver highly relevant and personalized performance advertisements to consumers in real time.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Criteo S.A. pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year.

Conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited toto: (1) the recognition of revenue; (2) the evaluation of our trade receivables and the recognition of a valuation allowance; (3) the recognition and measurement of goodwill and intangible assets and particularly costs capitalized in relation to our customized internal-use software; (4) the measurement of share-based compensation and (5) the tax provision determination and particularly the estimate of our annual effective tax rate.

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that have had a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, including the cumulative effect of the change in provisional amount, as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company does not expect the provision of ASU 2015-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires that all financial assets and liabilities not accounted for under the equity method be measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this update supersede the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. The Company can early adopt the provision requiring it to recognize in other comprehensive income the fair value change from instrument-specific credit risk measured using the fair value option for financial instruments. Except for this early application guidance, early adoption is not permitted. The Company is still evaluating the effects that the provision of ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal year, is permitted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Early adoption is permitted. The updated guidance requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is still evaluating the effects that the provision of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net). ASU 2016-08 amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the FASB's new revenue standard Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-08 on its consolidated financial statements. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier application is permitted only as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that fiscal year, or fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning one year after the fiscal year in which an entity first applies the guidance in Update 2014-09.

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period.

In April 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU 2016-10 clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue standard Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-10 on its consolidated financial statements. The effective date of ASU 2016-10 is the same as for requirements of ASC Topic 606.

In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2015-09 and 2014-06 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (SEC Update). ASU 2016-11 rescinds certain SEC Staff Guidance relating to ASC topics 605 (Revenue Recognition), 932 (Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas), and 815 (Derivatives and Hedging). The ASU became effective immediately. The Company has evaluated the rescinded SEC Staff Guidance and determined it does not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. ASU 2016 - 12 amends narrow aspects of the new revenue standard Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) including guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-12 on its consolidated financial statements. The effective date of ASU 2016-12 is the same as for requirements of ASC Topic 606.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. In addition, this amendment broadens the information an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate including the use of forecasts in order to ensure more timely information is used to develop the estimate. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure the fair value of our cash equivalents, which include money market funds and interest bearing deposits, as level 1 and level 2 measurements because they are valued using quoted market prices and observable market data, respectively.

Financial assets or liabilities include derivative financial instruments used to manage our exposure to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. These instruments are considered level 2 financial instruments as they are measured using valuation techniques based on observable market data.

The following tables provide information for the assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016:

⁽¹⁾Includes reclassification from non-current to current portion based on maturity of the financial liabilities.

Borrowings are financial liabilities ~~with~~at amortized ~~costs~~cost and are measured using level 2 fair value measurements.

We are party to loan agreements with Le Credit Lyonnais, or LCL, Bpifrance Financement (French Public Investment Bank), HSBC as well as with a bank syndicate composed of Natixis (coordinator and documentation agent), LCL (facility agent), HSBC France, Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking and BNP Paribas (each acting individually as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers).

There have been no changes in the terms of our loan agreement and other financial liabilities, including maturity and allocation by currency, from what was disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 9. ~~Share-Based Compensation~~Equity awards compensation expense

The Board of Directors has been authorized by the general meeting of the shareholders to grant employee warrants (Bons de Souscription de Parts de Créateur d’Entreprise or "BSPCEs"), share options (Options de Souscription d'Actions or "OSAs"), restricted share units ("RSUs") and non-employee warrants (Bons de Souscription d'Actions or "BSAs").

During the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, there were ~~two~~four grants of RSUs and one grant of OSAs under the Employee Share Option Plan 8 and one grant of BSAs under the Plan E, as defined in Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015:

On January 29, 2016, 33,010 RSUs were granted to senior management subject to achievement of internal performance objectives and continued employment. Based on the assumptions known as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, we determined share-based compensation expense by applying a probability ratio on performance objectives completion.

Provision for income taxes	$	(8,508	)	$	(12,394	)

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate (“AETR”). To calculate our estimated AETR, we estimate our income before taxes and the related tax expense or benefit for the full fiscal year (total of expected current and deferred tax provisions), excluding the effect of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items or comprehensive income items not recognized in the statement of of income. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors including our ability to accurately predict our income (loss) before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions and the changes in foreign exchange rates. Our effective tax rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside of France.

Current tax assets and liabilities

The total amount of current tax assets consists mainly of prepayments of income taxes by Criteo do Brasil LTDA and withholding taxes accountable to future income taxes of Criteo Corp. The current tax liabilities refers mainly to the net corporate tax ~~payable~~payables of Criteo S.A., Criteo BV and Criteo KK.

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing the net income for the period attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

We calculate diluted earnings per share by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares not yet issued from share-based compensation plans (see note 9). There were no other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and 2016. Consequently all potential dilutive effects from shares are considered.

For each period presented, a contract to issue a certain number of shares (i.e. share option, ~~share~~non-employee warrant ("BSA"), restricted share ~~award~~unit ("RSU") or ~~BSPCE contracts)~~non-employee warrant ("BSPCE") is assessed as potentially dilutive if it is “in the money” (i.e., the exercise or settlement price is lower than the average market price).

See "Recently Issued Accounting Standards" under Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of certain accounting standards that have been issued during 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Form 10-Q includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Revenue ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income. These measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue ex-TAC is our revenue excluding Traffic Acquisition Costs (“TAC”) generated over the applicable measurement period and Revenue ex-TAC by Region reflects our Revenue ex-TAC by our core geographies. Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue ex-TAC by Region are key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of TAC from revenue can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business and across our core geographies.

Adjusted EBITDA is our consolidated earnings before financial income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of ~~share-based~~equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, acquisition-related costs and ~~acquisition-related~~ deferred price consideration. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short‑ and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that by eliminating ~~non-cash~~equity awards compensation expense, pension service costs, acquisition-related costs and ~~acquisition-related~~ deferred price consideration, Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Adjusted Net Income is our net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of ~~share-based~~equity awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and deferred price consideration, and the tax impact of these adjustments. Adjusted Net Income is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that by eliminating ~~share-based~~equity awards compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and ~~acquisition-related~~ deferred price consideration and the tax impact of these adjustments, Adjusted Net Income can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors and the market generally in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Please refer to the supplemental financial tables provided for a reconciliation of Revenue ex-TAC to Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA to net income, and Adjusted Net Income to net income, in each case, the most comparable U.S. GAAP measurement. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (1) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; and (2) other companies may report Revenue ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently or over different regions, which reduces their usefulness as comparative

measures. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider these measures alongside our U.S. GAAP financial results, including revenue and net income.

⁽³⁾We define Revenue ex-TAC (Traffic Acquisition Costs) as our revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs, or TAC, generated over the applicable measurement period. Revenue ex-TAC is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included Revenue ex-TAC in this Form 10-Q because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the elimination of TAC from revenue can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Revenue ex-TAC provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of Revenue ex-TAC has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; (b) other companies may report Revenue ex-TAC or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.

⁽¹⁾Growth at constant currency excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is computed by applying the 2015 average exchange rates for the relevant period to 2016 figures. We have included revenue at constant currency in this Form 10-Q because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation because they believe this better represents our underlying business trends.

Revenue for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016 increased to ~~$401.3~~407.2 million, growing ~~36.4%~~36.0% (or ~~39.2%~~34.5% on a constant currency basis), compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015. Revenue from new clients contributed ~~45.0%~~54.1% to the year-over-year revenue growth while revenue from existing clients contributed ~~55.0%~~45.9% to the year-over-year revenue growth. This increase in revenue was primarily driven by the continued roll-out of technology innovations across all devices, including mobile, the addition of a record number of net new clients of over 900 in the quarter, and the continued expansion of our publisher relationships. Technology improvements and broader inventory reach helped generate more revenue per existing client at constant currency. Our continuing ability to convert and maintain a large portion of our clients to uncapped budgets was also a key driver of the increase in revenue per existing client across large and midmarket clients.

The year-over-year increase was the result of our rapid growth across all geographies. Revenue in the Americas region increased 41.2% (or 42.9% on a constant currency basis) to $156.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, and the region was the largest contributor to our global growth. Midmarket growth remained very solid across the region at close to 70% year-over-year despite a demanding hiring environment for sales people. Brazil remained challenging as a result of the difficult political and macro-economic context. Revenue in the EMEA region increased 21.4% (or 21.6% on a constant currency basis) to $153.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. Established markets, Germany in particular, continued to post solid growth. We signed several new large clients including a global apparel group based in Spain. Travel clients further expanded their business with us across many markets in EMEA. Revenue in the Asia-Pacific region increased 57.0% (or 46.0% on a constant currency basis) to $96.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. Revenue from new clients was strong, in particular in Japan and India. We opened our legal entity in India near the end of the second quarter and signed several large advertisers. These include India’s largest ecommerce marketplace; India’s fashion ecommerce giant Jabong; and MakeMyTrip, India’s largest online travel agent. Growth across South-East Asia remains steady and we continue to make progress in our domestic business in China.

Additionally, our $407.2 million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was positively impacted by $4.6 million as a result of changes in foreign currency against the U.S. dollar compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The year-over-year growth in revenue on a constant currency basis is primarily attributable to an increased volume of clicks delivered on the advertising banners displayed by us (i.e. higher volumes of impressions).

⁽¹⁾We define Revenue ex-TAC as our revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs generated over the applicable measurement period. Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region in this Form 10-Q because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate operating performance and generate future operating plans. In particular, we believe that the elimination of TAC from revenue and review of these measures by region can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may address the impact of TAC differently; (b) other companies may report Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region or similarly titled measures but define the regions differently, which reduces their effectiveness as a comparative measure; and (c) other companies may report Revenue ex-TAC or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Revenue ex-TAC and Revenue, Traffic Acquisition Costs and Revenue ex-TAC by Region alongside our other U.S. GAAP financial results, including revenue. The above table provides a reconciliation of revenue ex-TAC by region to revenue by region. Please also refer to footnote 3 to the Other Financial and Operating Data table in “Item 2—Management's Discussion and Analysis” of this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of revenue ex-TAC to revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Constant Currency Reconciliation

Information in this Form 10-Q with respect to results presented on a constant currency basis was calculated by applying the 2015 average exchange rates for the relevant period to 2016 figures. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation because they believe this better represents our underlying business trends. Below is a table which reconciles the actual results presented in this section with the results presented on a constant currency basis:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Working Capital~~

~~The following table summarizes our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, accounts receivable and working capital for the periods indicated:~~

December 31,
2015 March 31,
2016
Cash flows provided by operating activities $137,150 $18,907
Trade receivables, net of allowances $261,581 $262,524
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities)
$305,574 $352,939

Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016 were held for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include acquisitions. The increase in cash and cash equivalents compared with December 31, 2015 primarily resulted from $18.9 million in cash from operating activities and $4.7 million positive cash flow from financing activities over the period, which was partially offset by the $11.3 million used for investing activities, including $12.1 million in capital expenditures which was partially offset by a $0.8 million inflow relating to changes in other non-current financial assets. In addition, the increase in cash includes a $20.3 million positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our cash position over the period. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest any cash in excess of our immediate requirements in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in demand deposit accounts and money market funds that are currently providing only a minimal return.

~~Sources of Liquidity~~

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from ~~operations.~~operating activities. We also benefited to a much lesser extent from the proceeds of the exercise of share options and warrants and expect to continue to do so in the future, as such securities are exercised by holders. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our equity securities in the foreseeable future and intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund our growth. As discussed in Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 to this Form 10-Q, we are party to several loan agreements and revolving credit facilities with third-party financial institutions.

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in demand deposit accounts and money market funds that are currently providing only a minimal return. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 were held for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include acquisitions, and amounted to $ 377.4 million as of June 2016. The $23.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents compared with December 31, 2015 primarily resulted from $38.2 million in cash from operating activities and $13.0 million positive cash flow from financing activities over the period, which was partially offset by the $39.0 million used for investing activities, including $34.5 million in capital expenditures and $5.1 million for the Monsieur Drive acquisition partially offset by a $0.6 million inflow relating to changes in refunds of bank deposits or lease deposits related to old premises. In addition, the increase in cash includes a $11.7 million positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our cash position over the period. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest any cash in excess of our immediate requirements in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in demand deposit accounts and money market funds that are currently providing only a minimal return.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and 2016, our capital expenditures were ~~$12.9~~$31.2 million and ~~$12.1~~$34.5 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition of data center and server equipment as well as furnishing and leasehold improvements of new offices. We believe our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, the amount and timing of our investments in personnel and capital equipment, and the timing and extent of our introduction of new products and product enhancements. If our cash and cash equivalents balances and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked or debt financings to support our operations, and such financings may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We may also need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets or products. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, our operations and ability to execute our business strategy could be adversely affected. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to our shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. We therefore believe that we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the ~~three~~six month period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and 2016:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2016			June 30, 2015			June 30, 2016

Cash (used for) from financing activities	$	(679	)	$	4,737

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities is primarily impacted by the increase in the number of clients using our solution and by the amount of cash we invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business. Cash provided by operating activities has typically been generated from net income and by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses, adjusted for ~~non-cash and non-operating expense~~certain operating items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, deferred tax assets and income taxes.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$18.9~~$38.2 million and consisted of net income of ~~$18.5~~$31.9 million and ~~$29.5~~$59.6 million in adjustments for ~~non-cash and non-operating~~certain operating items, partially offset by ~~$17.1~~$27.4 million of changes in working capital requirements and ~~$12.0~~$25.9 million of income taxes paid during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2016. Adjustments for ~~non-cash and non-operating~~certain operating items primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$13.2~~$29.5 million, ~~share-based~~equity awards compensation expense of ~~$8.4~~$16.1 million and ~~$9.1~~$16.9 million of accrued income taxes, partially offset by ~~$1.1~~$4.4 million of changes in deferred tax assets. The ~~$17.1~~$27.4 million decrease in cash resulting from changes in working capital primarily consisted of a ~~$13.9~~$15.2 million decrease in accounts payable resulting from the standardization of the timing of invoice payments, $2.3 million increase in accounts receivable mainly driven by growth in our activity during the period and a ~~$10.4~~$15.8 million increase in other current assets including prepaid expenses and VAT receivables resulting from an increase in our revenue and, to a lesser extent, an increase in office rental advance payments. This was partially offset by a ~~$4.8 million decrease in accounts receivable primarily resulting from a more efficient cash collection process and a $2.4~~$5.9 million increase in accrued expenses such as ~~payroll and payroll related expenses and VAT payables, driven primarily by an increase in traffic acquisition costs, and an increase in accrued~~ payroll and payroll related expenses, resulting from an increase in the number of our ~~employees.~~employees, and VAT payables, driven primarily by an increase in traffic acquisition costs.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$41.0~~$52.9 million and consisted of net income of ~~$13.6~~$17.5 million, ~~$21.9~~$39.5 million in adjustments for ~~non-cash and non-operating~~certain operating items and ~~$8.9~~$4.8 million of cash provided by working capital, partially offset by ~~$3.4~~$8.9 million of income taxes paid during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015. Adjustments for ~~non-cash and non-operating~~certain operating items primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization expense of ~~$8.3~~$19.2 million, ~~share-based~~equity awards compensation expense of ~~$6.3~~$11.6 million and ~~$7.1~~$10.7 million of accrued income taxes. The ~~$8.9~~$4.8 million increase in cash resulting from changes in working capital primarily consisted of an increase in operating cash flow due to a ~~$23.9~~$27.6 million increase in accounts payable and a ~~$5.0~~$5.7 million increase in accrued expenses such as ~~payroll,payroll related expenses and VAT payables, driven primarily by an increase in traffic acquisition costs, and an increase in accrued~~ payroll and payroll related expenses, resulting from an increase in the number of our ~~employees.~~employees, and VAT payables, driven primarily by an increase in traffic acquisition costs. This was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of ~~$9.4~~$12.6 million, primarily driven by increased revenue during the ~~year~~period as we continue to expand our operations and an increase in the average days outstanding of our accounts receivable. Prepaid expenses, VAT receivables, and other current assets also increased by ~~$10.6~~$15.9 million, primarily the result of an increase in our revenue and, to a lesser extent, an increase in office rental advance payments.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities to date have consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment and acquisitions.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was ~~$11.3~~$39.0 million and consisted of ~~$12.1~~$34.5 million for purchases of property and equipment and $5.1 million related to the Monsieur Drive acquisition, partially offset by a ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million refund of bank deposits or lease deposits related to old premises.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was ~~$33.8~~$56.5 million and consisted of ~~$12.9~~$31.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, ~~$17.2~~$20.1 million related to the Datapop acquisition and ~~$3.7~~$5.2 million in bank deposits or lease deposits related to new premises.

Financing Activities

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$4.7~~$13.0 million resulting from ~~$5.5~~$15.6 million ~~from~~of share option exercises and ~~$0.8~~$3.1 million of draws on revolving credit facilities, partially offset by ~~$1.5~~$5.6 million for repayment of ~~loans.~~loans and other financial liabilities.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, net cash ~~used for~~provided by financing activities was ~~$0.7~~$3.2 million resulting from ~~$2.8~~$6.4 million ~~from~~of share option exercises and ~~$0.8~~$2.4 million of new loans, which was ~~more than~~partially offset by ~~$3.3~~$4.7 million for repayment of loans and $1.0 million of changes in other financial liabilities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risk during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2016. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to our market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of each reported period is represented by the carrying amount of financial assets, and summarized in the following table:


	December 31, 2015		March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		June 30, 2016
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	353,537	$	386,110	$	353,537	$	377,407

Total	$	677,884	$	723,220	$	648,332	$	684,017

As of ~~March 31, 2016 and~~ December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, no customer accounted for 10% or more of trade receivables.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. We maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses. During the ~~periods~~twelve-month period ended ~~March 31, 2016 and~~ December 31, 2015 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, our net change in allowance for doubtful accounts was ~~$0.7~~$2.3 million and ~~$2.3~~$3.9 million, respectively.

Trade Receivables

Credit risk is defined as an unexpected loss in cash and earnings if the client is unable to pay its obligations in due time. We perform internal ongoing credit risk evaluations of our clients. When a possible risk exposure is identified, we require prepayments.

For each period presented, the aging of trade receivables and allowances for potential losses is as follows:

Counter Party Risk

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, we show a positive net cash position. Since 2012, we have utilized a cash pooling arrangement, reinforcing cash management centralization. Investment and financing decisions are carried out by our internal treasury function. We only deal with counterparties with high credit ratings. In addition, under our Investment and Risk Management Policy, investments performed by Criteo with a single counterparty shall not exceed 25% of the total invested portfolio no matter the rating of such counterparty.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, ~~has~~ concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable ~~assurance.~~assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are 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 disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Criteo have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error of fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On June 13, 2016, we filed a complaint in the Central District of California for damages and injunctive relief against SteelHouse, Inc. (“SteelHouse”), alleging Federal False and/or Misleading Advertising, Fraud, Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, Libel, Trade Libel, Unfair Competition under California Business & Professions Code § 17200, and False Advertising under California Business & Professions Code § 17500. In the complaint, we allege that SteelHouse perpetrated a counterfeit click fraud scheme in its business operations, and engaged in false and misleading advertising related to such conduct. On July 1, 2016, we filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin such conduct. On July 25, 2016, SteelHouse filed its Answer and Counterclaims, alleging Federal False and/or Misleading Advertising, False Advertising under California Business & Professions Code § 17500, Unfair Competition under California Business & Professions Code § 17200, Intentional Interference with Contract, and Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Relations against us. In its counterclaims, SteelHouse alleges that we manufactured click count numbers and interfered with SteelHouse's actual and prospective business relationships. We believe that SteelHouse’s counterclaims are without merit and intend to continue to vigorously prosecute our claims against SteelHouse. Based upon the information currently available, we do not believe that this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations ~~financial condition~~ or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. If any such risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed and the trading price of our ADSs could decline. These risks are not exclusive and additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
