Annex C-53

Note 21 – Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share

The Group calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income for the period

attributable to shareholders of the Parent company by the weighted average number of shares

outstanding.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding56,170,65854,817,13652,934,526
Basic earnings per share0.79 €2.00 €2.32 €

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive shares not yet issued from share-based

compensation plans. There were no other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding as of

December 31,2025,2024 and 2023. Consequently all potential dilutive effects from shares are

considered.

For each period presented, a contract to issue a certain number of shares (i.e., stock options

and nonemployee warrants) was assessed as potentially dilutive, if it was “in the money” (i.e.,

the exercise or settlement price is lower than the average market price).

Annex C-56

We are party to several revolving credit facilities with third-party financial institutions. Our loans

and RCF agreements are presented in the table below:

DateNominal/ Authorized amounts (in thousands of euros)Amount drawnBalance as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands of euros)Interest rateSettlement date
Bank syndicate RCF - Criteo SA

Other short-term lines of credit
21,500—21,500EURIBOR

The Bank Syndicate Revolving Line of Credit (RCF) is an unsecured sustainability-linked facility,

subject to financial and nonfinancial covenants linked to our sustainability goals. As of year-end

December 31, 2025, and 2024, we were in compliance with the required covenants.

On November 17, 2023, we updated certain terms of our €407.0 million syndicated credit facility

to a €407.0 million sustainability-linked credit facility, the framework for which was provided for

in the initial credit facility agreement. Certain terms and conditions of the amended credit facility

are now linked to our sustainability goals to increase the representation of women in tech roles

and reduce our GHG emissions, while the rest of the credit facility agreement remains

unchanged.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, no amounts have been drawn or are outstanding under

the revolving credit facility.

We are also party to short-term credit lines in the form of overdraft facilities with HSBC plc, BNP

Paribas and LCL with an authorization to draw up to a maximum of€21.5 million in the

aggregate under the short-term credit lines and overdraft facilities. As of December 31, 2025, we

had not drawn on any of these facilities. Any loans or overdrafts under these short-term facilities

bear interest based on the one month EURIBOR rate or three month EURIBOR rate. As these

facilities are exclusively overdraft facilities, there is no maturity and our banks have the ability to

terminate such facilities on short notice.

Annex C-57

Note 24 – Net debt

The company net debt is calculated by offsetting the cash and cash equivalents from the

financial liabilities.

As shown innote 6 and 19, the market risk is monitored by management, who define the

management policy regarding the consolidated net debt in terms of liquidity, interest rates,

exchange rates and counterparty risk for the upcoming months and analyzes the previous

events (realized transactions, financial results).

The following tables show the maturity and allocation by currency of our financial liabilities and

cash and cash equivalents.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

Following a complaint from Privacy International against a number of advertising technology

companies with certain data protection authorities, including in France, France's Commission

Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (the "CNIL") opened a formal investigation in January

2020 against Criteo. In June 2023, the CNIL issued its decision, which retained alleged

European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") violations but reduced the

financial sanction against Criteo from the original amount of€60 million ($70.5 million) to

€40 million ($47.0 million). Criteo issued the required sanction payment during the third quarter

of 2023. The decision relates to past matters and does not include any obligation for Criteo to

change its current practices. Criteo has appealed this decision before the French Council of

State (Conseil d’Etat).

As previously disclosed, the Company is party to a claim (Doe vs. GoodRx Holdings, Inc. et al.

in the US District Court for the Northern District of California) alleging violations of various state

and federal laws. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company agreed to settle the matter for

$7.0 million, subject to court approval. In January 2026, the court denied approval of the

proposed settlement.

The Company continues to engage in discussions with the plaintiffs and GoodRx to address the

Judge’s requests and re-file the settlement agreement. Based on management's assessment of

the underlying facts and circumstances, including the status of settlement discussions and the

indemnification arrangement with GoodRx, the Company recognized an estimated probable loss

$7.0 million (€6.0 million) within “Contingencies-current portion” as of December 31, 2025.

GoodRx has agreed to indemnify Criteo for$5.5 million (€4.7 million) in connection with this

matter, and the Company recognized an indemnification receivable of$5.5 million (€4.7 million)

within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”. The resulting estimated net probable loss of

Annex C-59

$1.5 million (€1.3 million) was recognized within “General and administrative expenses” in the

Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The

results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is reasonably possible that the

ultimate loss may differ from our estimate.

On July 9, 2025, a putative class action was filed against the Company, CVS and others in the

U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging violations of various laws

regarding sensitive health and personal information. On October 27, 2025, the action was

dismissed with respect to the Company. On November 7, 2025, a second amended putative

class action complaint was filed against the Company, CVS and others in the U.S. District Court

for the Central District of California, again alleging violations of various laws regarding sensitive

health and personal information. The plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief. We dispute

the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters. On

January 30, 2026, the plaintiff filed a stipulation to dismiss the case, and the parties are

currently engaged in mediation.

On October 17, 2025, AlmondNet, Inc. and Intent IQ, LLC filed a patent-infringement lawsuit in

the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint was served to the Company

on October 21, 2025. The plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief. We dispute the

allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.

Non income tax risks

During the year ended December 31, 2025, management reassessed the provision related to

certain non-income tax matters, reducing the balance from€29.9 million to€18.7 million. These

risks were initially identified and recognized as part of the Iponweb Acquisition in 2022. In

accordance with the purchase agreement relating to the acquisition, the Company is indemn ified

against specific tax risks, and as such, an indemnification asset has been recorded. The

indemnification asset is recorded as part of "Other noncurrent assets" on the consolidated

statement of financial position.

Note 26 – Other current liabilities

obligations, primarily related to software licenses, maintenance and bandwidth for the servers.
