Cardlytics, Inc.

Previous wording

Unfavorable conditions, including inflationary pressure, in the global economy or the industries we serve could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results.

Current wording

Unfavorable conditions, including inflationary pressure, or tariffs and other trade protection measures, in the global economy or the industries we serve could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our operating results.

Previous wording

Our operating results may vary based on the impact of unfavorable changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers and potential customers. Negative or unstable conditions in the general economy, including conditions resulting from resulting from a global or domestic recession or the fear thereof, the imposition of tariffs in the United States and abroad, fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, political turmoil and regulatory changes, natural catastrophes, lower corporate earnings, reduction in business confidence and activity, warfare, including the Russia-Ukraine war and conflict in the Middle East, and terrorist attacks on the United States, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, or elsewhere could cause a decrease in business and consumer spending and negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. These conditions make it extremely difficult for marketers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and could cause marketers to begin or continue to reduce or delay their marketing spending. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in marketing spending. If macroeconomic conditions deteriorate or are characterized by uncertainty or volatility, marketers may curtail or freeze spending on marketing in general and for services such as ours specifically, which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results

Negative or unstable conditions in the general economy, including conditions resulting from a global or domestic recession or the fear thereof, the imposition of tariffs in the United States and abroad, fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, political turmoil and regulatory changes, natural catastrophes, lower corporate earnings, reduction in business confidence and activity, warfare, including the Russia-Ukraine war and conflict in the Middle East, and terrorist attacks on the United States, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, or elsewhere could cause a decrease in business and consumer spending, result in reduced committed marketing budgets from our marketers, and negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. government announced a new universal baseline tariff of 10%, plus additional country-specific tariffs for select trading partners, on all U.S. imports. The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including how long such tariffs remain in place, the ultimate levels and application of such tariffs and the extent to which other countries impose retaliatory tariffs. These conditions make it extremely difficult for marketers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and could cause marketers to begin or continue to reduce or delay their marketing spending. Historically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in marketing spending. If macroeconomic conditions deteriorate or are characterized by uncertainty or volatility, marketers may curtail or freeze spending on marketing in general and for services such as ours specifically, which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Previous wording

In addition, our business may be materially and adversely affected by weak economic conditions in the industries that we serve. We have historically generated a substantial majority of our revenue from marketers in the restaurant, brick and mortar retail, telecommunications and cable industries, and have expanded into new industries such as everyday spend, specialty retail, restaurant, travel and entertainment. All of these industries have been negatively impacted by inflationary pressure and certain precautions taken to control inflationary pressure. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery. In addition, even if the overall economy is robust, we cannot assure you that the market for services such as ours will experience growth or that we will experience growth.

Our revenue decreased 10.0% to $278.3 million in 2024 from $309.2 million in 2023. Our billings decreased 2.1% to $443.8 million in 2024 from $453.4 million in 2023. We may not be able to achieve or maintain year-over-year billings growth and may not see revenue growth in the near term or at all, and you should not consider our revenue and billings growth in any specific historical periods as indicative of our future performance. Our revenue and billings may be negatively impacted in future periods due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, slowing demand for our solutions, increasing competition, decreasing growth of our overall market, inflationary pressure, our inability to engage and retain a sufficient number of marketers or partners, or our failure, for any reason, to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we are unable to maintain consistent revenue, revenue growth or billings growth, our stock price could be volatile, and it may be difficult for us to achieve and maintain profitability.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our top three FI partners combined to account for over 85%, 85% and 80%, respectively, of the total Partner Share we paid to all partners. During 2024 and 2023 the top FI partner represented over 50% and the second and third largest FI partners each represented over 10% of Partner Share. During 2022, the top two FI partners represented over 20% and 25%, respectively, and the third largest FI partner representing over 10% of Partner Share for each period. No other partner accounted for over 10% of Partner Share during these periods.

Previous wording

Our agreements with a substantial majority of our FI partners have three- to seven-year terms, but are generally terminable by the FI partner on 90 days or more prior notice. Additionally, our agreements with our FI partners generally do not require us to serve as their sole offer provider, or require our FI partners to publish any given offer on their channels, and they could therefore, reduce their reliance on our solutions during the term of the applicable agreement. If an FI partner terminates its agreement with us, we would lose that FI partner as a source of purchase data and online banking customers. Our FI partners may elect to withhold from us or limit the use of their purchase data for many reasons, including:

To the extent that we breach or are alleged to have breached the terms of our agreement with any FI partner, or a disagreement arises with an FI partner regarding the interpretation of our contractual arrangements, which has occurred in the past and may occur again in the future, such FI partner may be more likely to cease providing us data, reduce its reliance on us, or terminate its agreement with us. The loss of any of Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo or any other significant FI partner, or their reduced reliance on us or our solutions, would significantly harm our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

If we fail to maintain our relationships with current FI partners or attract new FI partners, we may not be able to sufficiently grow our revenue, which could significantly harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current wording

If we fail to maintain our relationships with current FI partners or attract new FI partners or other supply partners, we may not be able to sufficiently grow our revenue, which could significantly harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

Our ability to grow our revenue depends on our ability to maintain our relationships with current FI partners, both holistically and at the current level of service we provide them, and attract new FI partners. A significant percentage of consumer credit and debit card spending is concentrated with the 10 largest FIs in the U.S., five of which are currently part of our network, while the balance of card spending is spread across thousands of smaller FIs. Accordingly, our ability to efficiently grow our revenue will specifically depend on our ability to maintain our relationships with the large FIs that are currently part of our network and establish relationships with the large FIs that are not currently part of our network. We have in the past and may in the future be unsuccessful in attempts to establish and maintain relationships with large FIs. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with current FI partners and attract new FI partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be significantly harmed, and we may fail to capture a material portion of the native bank advertising market opportunity.

We leverage our FI partners' purchase data and infrastructures to deliver our Cardlytics platform. We do not currently receive or have access to any personal data from our FI partners, although we may obtain or have access to personal data from our FI partners in the future as our business evolves. Additionally, we receive, collect, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, share and have access to personal data as a result of other aspects of our business. As such, we may be a more visible target for cyberattacks or physical breaches of our systems, databases or data centers, and we may in the future suffer from such attacks or breaches. There is a risk that actors may attempt to gain access to our systems, for the purpose of stealing personal data, sensitive or proprietary data, accessing sensitive information on our network, or disrupting our or their respective operations. Cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity and online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information systems, and those of the third parties with whom we work. Such threats are prevalent and continue to rise, are increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer "hackers," threat actors, "hacktivists," organized criminal threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation states, and nation-state-supported actors.

In addition to traditional computer "hackers," we and the third parties with whom we work are subject to a variety of evolving threats, including but not limited to social-engineering attacks (including deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake, and phishing attacks), threat actors, software bugs, malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including: as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), employee theft or misuse, denial-of-service attacks, credential attacks, credential harvesting, and ransomware attacks, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors now engage in attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions). We also may be the subject of viruses, malware installation, server malfunction, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other computer assets, adware, malicious or unintentional actions or in actions by employees or others with authorized access to our network that create or expose vulnerabilities, attacks enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence ("AI"), and other similar threats or other similar issues. In particular, severe ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, ability to provide our products or services, loss of sensitive data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments.

Current or future criminal capabilities, discovery of existing or new vulnerabilities in our systems and attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities or other developments may compromise the technology protecting our systems. Due to a variety of both internal and external factors, including defects or misconfigurations of our technology, our services have in the past and may in the future become vulnerable to security incidents (both from intentional attacks and accidental causes) that cause them to fail to secure networks and detect and block attacks. In the event that our protection efforts are unsuccessful, and our systems are compromised such that a third party gains entry to our or any of our FI partners' systems, we could suffer substantial harm.

Current or future threat actor capabilities, discovery of existing or new vulnerabilities in our systems and attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities or other developments may compromise the technology protecting our systems. Due to a variety of both internal and external factors, including defects or misconfigurations of our technology, our services have in the past and may in the future become vulnerable to security incidents (both from intentional attacks and accidental causes) that cause them to fail to secure networks and detect and block attacks. It may be difficult and/or costly to detect, investigate, mitigate, contain, and remediate a security incident. Our efforts to do so may not be successful. Actions taken by us or the third parties with whom we work to detect, investigate, mitigate, contain, and remediate a security incident could result in outages, data losses, and disruptions of our business. Threat actors may also gain access to other networks and systems after a compromise of our networks and systems. For example, threat actors may use an initial compromise of one part of our environment to gain access to other parts of our environment, or leverage a compromise of our networks or systems to gain access to the networks or systems of third parties with whom we work, including our FI partners’ systems, such as through phishing or supply chain attacks.

Previous wording

In addition, many of our employees work remotely, which makes us more vulnerable to cyberattacks and has increased risks to our systems and data, as more of our employees utilize network connections, computers and devices outside our premises or network, including working at home, while in transit and in public locations. A security breach could result in operational or administrative disruptions, or impair our ability to meet our marketers' requirements, which could result in decreased revenue. Also, our reputation could suffer irreparable harm, causing our current and prospective marketers and FI partners to decline to use our solutions in the future. Future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities' systems and technologies. Furthermore, we may discover security issues that were not found during due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be difficult to integrate companies into our information technology environment and security program.

While we have implemented security measures designed to protect against security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We take steps designed to detect, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities in our systems (such as our hardware and software, including that of third parties upon which we rely). We may not, however, detect and remediate all such vulnerabilities, at all or on a timely basis. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures and patches designed to address identified vulnerabilities. Even if we have issued or otherwise made patches for vulnerabilities in our software applications, products or services, our customers may be unwilling or unable to deploy such patches and use such information effectively and in a timely manner. Vulnerabilities could be exploited and result in a security incident.

Current wording

In any event, an actual or perceived breach of the security of our, or the third parties with whom we work, systems or data could materially harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Such adverse consequences may take the form of government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits and inspections); additional reporting requirements and oversight; restrictions on processing of sensitive information; litigation (including class claims); indemnification obligations; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; diversion of management attention; interruptions in our operations (including data availability); financial loss; and other similar harms. Security incidents and associated consequences may prevent or cause customers to stop using our platform, deter new customers from using our platform, and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business. In particular, our product and service offering involves access to our customers’ information and systems, a security incident could heighten the impact of these material adverse consequences because of the nature of our business and expectations of our customers.

Previous wording

We cannot assure you that any limitations of liability provisions in our contracts would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from any liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim relating to a security lapse or breach. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, our insurance may be insufficient or may not cover all liabilities incurred by such attacks. We also cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data handling or data security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results and reputation. Additionally, sensitive information of the Company could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees', personnel's, or vendors' use of generative AI technologies.

Most marketers do business with us by placing insertion orders for particular marketing campaigns, either directly or through marketing agencies that act on their behalf. We often do not have any commitment from a marketer beyond the campaigns governed by a particular insertion order, and we frequently must compete to win further business from a marketer. In most circumstances, our insertion orders may be canceled by marketers or their marketing agencies prior to the completion of all the campaigns contemplated in the insertion orders; provided that marketers or their agencies are required to pay us for services performed prior to cancellation. As a result, our success is dependent upon our ability to outperform our competitors and win repeat business from existing marketers, while continually expanding the number of marketers for which we provide services. To maintain and increase our revenue, we must encourage existing marketers and their agencies to increase their use of our solutions and add new marketers. Many marketers and marketing agencies, however, have only just begun using our solutions for a limited number of marketing campaigns, and our future revenue growth will depend heavily on these marketers and marketing agencies expanding their use of our solutions across campaigns and otherwise increasing their spending with us. Even if we are successful in convincing marketers and their agencies to use our solutions, it may take several months or years for them to meaningfully increase the amount that they spend with us. Further, larger marketers with multiple brands typically have individual marketing budgets and marketing decision makers for each of their brands, and we may not be able to leverage our success in securing a portion of the marketing budget of one or more of a marketer's brands into additional business with other brands. Moreover, marketers may place internal limits on the allocation of their marketing budgets to digital marketing, to particular campaigns, to a particular provider or for other reasons. In addition, we are reliant on our FI partner network to have sufficient marketing inventory within the Cardlytics platform to place the full volume of advertisements contracted for by our marketers and their agencies. Any failure to meet these demands may hamper the growth of our business and the attractiveness of our solutions.

We rely on several third parties to assist us in matching our anonymized identifiers with third-party identifiers. This matching process enables us to, among other things, use transaction data to measure in-store and online campaign sales impact or provide marketers with valuable visibility into the behaviors of current or prospective customers both within and outside the context of their marketing efforts. If any of these key data providers were to withdraw or withhold their identifiers from us, our ability to provide our solutions could be adversely affected, and certain marketers may severely limit their spending on our solutions or stop spending with us entirely. Replacements for any of these third-party identifiers may not fit the needs of certain marketers or be available in a timely manner or under economically beneficial terms.

This matching process enables us to, among other things, use transaction data to measure in-store and online campaign sales impact or provide marketers with valuable visibility into the behaviors of current or prospective customers both within and outside the context of their marketing efforts. If any of these key data providers were to withdraw or withhold their identifiers from us, or if we fail to renew the agreements governing the relationships with such providers, our ability to provide our solutions could be adversely affected, and certain marketers may severely limit their spending on our solutions or stop spending with us entirely. Replacements for any of these third-party identifiers may not fit the needs of certain marketers or be available in a timely manner or under economically beneficial terms.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, we had 454 full-time employees. We may further expand our overall headcount and operations, with no assurance that we will be able to do so while effectively maintaining our corporate culture. We believe our corporate culture is one of our fundamental strengths as it enables us to attract and retain top talent and deliver superior results for our customers. As we grow, change and integrate acquired businesses and their employees, we may find it difficult to preserve our corporate culture, which could reduce our ability to innovate and operate effectively. In turn, the failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to attract, recruit, integrate and retain employees, continue to perform at current levels and effectively execute our business strategy. Additionally, available share count, at current market price, may limit our ability to attract and retain key talent as a part of our equity compensation.

During 2024 and 2023, we derived 8.7% and 5.8%, respectively, of our revenue from outside the U.S. While substantially all of our operations are located in the U.S., we have an office in the U.K. and may continue to expand our international operations as part of our growth strategy. Our ability to convince marketers to expand their use of our solutions or renew their agreements with us is directly correlated to our direct engagement with such marketers or their agencies. To the extent that we are unable to engage with non-U.S. marketers and agencies effectively with our limited sales force capacity, we may be unable to grow sales to existing marketers to the same degree we have experienced in the U.S.

We must also continue to manage our employees, operations, finances, research and development and capital investments efficiently in an environment where many employees are working from home. Our productivity and the quality of our solutions may be adversely affected if we do not integrate and train our new employees quickly and effectively or if we fail to appropriately coordinate across our executive, research and development, technology, service development, analytics, finance, human resources, marketing, sales, operations and customer support teams. If we continue our rapid growth, we will incur additional expenses, and our growth may continue to place a strain on our resources, infrastructure and ability to maintain the quality of our solutions. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving challenges, or if the current and future members of our management team do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our solutions may suffer and our corporate culture may be harmed. Failure to manage our future growth effectively could cause our business to suffer, which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future tax liabilities because of their limited duration or because of restrictions under U.S. tax law. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had U.S. federal and state NOLs of$900.7 million and$896.0 million, respectively. Our federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, are only permitted to be carried forward for 20 years under applicable U.S. tax law. Our federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOL carry-forwards is limited to 80% of taxable income. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to federal law.

Current wording

Portions of our net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future tax liabilities because of their limited duration or because of restrictions under U.S. tax law. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had U.S. federal and state NOLs of $990.7 million and $900.7 million, respectively. Our federal NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, are permitted to be carried forward for only 20 years under applicable U.S. tax law.

In addition, under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50% change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOL carry-forwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change taxable income or taxes may be limited. We have experienced "ownership changes" under Code Section 382 in the past, and future changes in ownership of our stock, including by reason of future offerings, as well as other changes that may be outside of our control, could result in future ownership changes under Code Section 382. If we are or become subject to limitations on our use of federal NOL carry-forwards under IRC Section 382, our federal NOL carry-forwards could expire unutilized or underutilized, even if we earn taxable income against which our federal NOL carry-forwards could otherwise be offset. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOL carry-forwards is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.

New tax laws or regulations could be enacted at any time, and existing tax laws or regulations could be interpreted, modified or applied in a manner that is adverse to us, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. For instance, the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in the U.S. in 2022, which provides for a minimum tax equal to 15% of the adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporations, as well as a 1% excise tax on certain share buybacks by public corporations, that would be imposed on such corporations. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to federal tax legislation. The impact of such changes or future legislation could increase our U.S. tax expense and could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Under accounting principles, we have allocated the total purchase price of Dosh's and Bridg's net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisitions, and we have recorded the excess of the purchase price over those fair values as goodwill. Our management's estimates of fair value will be based upon assumptions that they believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain. The following factors, among others, could result in material charges that would cause our financial results to be negatively impacted:

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes and any borrowings under our 2018 Line of Credit, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flows from operations in the future that are sufficient to service our debt. If we are unable to generate such cash flows, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance any existing or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, our 2018 Line of Credit contains and our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to or prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.

Holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indentures governing the 2020 Convertible Senior Notes and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes, respectively) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon conversion, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being converted. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases in connection with such conversion and our ability to pay may additionally be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indentures governing the Notes, as applicable, or to pay any cash payable on future conversions as required by such indenture would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under an indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing and future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.
