Safe harbor statement

 This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on
 information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed
 future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, projections, competitive position, industry environment, potential
 growth opportunities, potential market opportunities and the effects of competition and other actions by our counterparties.

 Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipates,”
 “believes,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar
 expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
 factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
 achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs
 and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation, and nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any
 person that these beliefs or assumptions will take place or occur. You should read the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form
 10-K filed on March 1, 2018, including the Risk Factors set forth therein and the exhibits thereto, the Company’s Quarterly Report on
 Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2018, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
 2018, that was filed with the SEC on November 5, 2018, as well as future filings and reports by the Company, completely and with the
 understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no
 obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those
 anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

 This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. As required by Regulation G, we have
 provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the Appendix slides.

Criteo Direct Bidder: Direct access to Criteo’s unique demand

  •    Criteo Direct Bidder (CDB) allows Criteo to bid on publisher inventory directly through the ad
       server without the need to funnel demand through Supply Side Platforms (SSPs) or exchanges.
  •    Benefits for the publisher:
       •   all of the Criteo bid goes to the publisher; none is taken by the SSP for fees
           (typically 10%-20%)

       •   user matching between the Publisher and Criteo is much more timely and complete than matching reliant
           on a third party

       •   +20-40% spend with publishers on the same inventory that was previously accessed through RTB

  •    Launched in Q2 2017, already connected to 3,500 publishers at the end of Q4 2018
