AI Summary
Q4 2025

Top-line pressure: Q4 revenue was $56.1 million, down 24.2% YoY, and FY2025 revenue was $233 million, down 16.2% YoY, driven largely by the loss of Bank of America and content restrictions from a large FI partner.

Profitability progress: Cardlytics reported positive adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million in Q4 and annual adjusted EBITDA of $10.1 million, marking the third consecutive year of positive adjusted EBITDA.

Supply shift: Management framed the Bank of America exit as strategic (misaligned economics/tech/product direction), saying the near-term supply gap will be offset over time by onboarding new portfolios, UI improvements and new publishers.

Commercial traction: Advertiser demand remained intact in key verticals (grocery, convenience, fashion/luxury), with notable advertiser spend increases and new large wins (e.g., world's largest athletic apparel maker).

Tech modernization: Company completed platform migration (ad server, Databricks data/AI platform), reporting features delivered 20% faster and infrastructure cost reduction of 40%; AI tools deployed for engineering and support.

Bridge divestiture: Announced sale of Bridg to PAR Technology; expected close later this month and proceeds will strengthen the balance sheet and support paying down the credit facility.

Near-term outlook: Q1 2026 guide implies a steep sequential decline (billings midpoint ~$60.5M); management expects sequential recovery later in 2026 as supply stabilizes and UK growth continues.
