In the second quarter of 2022, adjusted EBITDA climbed by nearly 18% to $139 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.8%, a modest decline year on year. Because of increasing general and administrative expenditures, operating expenses increased 72% to $375 million.
Trade Desk executives also predicted a 28% year-on-year revenue increase in the third quarter. The firm also claims that its advertising platform is well ahead of global advertising market growth.
More and more of the world’s largest businesses are signing new or extended long-term contracts with Trade Desk, underscoring the platform’s innovation and advantages over rival alternatives.
A recent advertising partnership with media business Walt Disney might be one of the Trade Desk’s growth catalysts. Customers of The Trade Desk Inc. (TTD) will be able to more efficiently automate targeted ads on Disney-owned websites as a result of the agreement. The agreement also includes a new version of Disney+, the ad-supported streaming service set to launch later this year.
