Mobile’s monthly gains

“We delivered another record quarter, exceeding our expectations,” Rudelle said. “We are pleased with the increasing contribution of mobile driving our growth, as well as the broadening of our client base across all markets.”
Criteo is expecting second-quarter revenue to reach €61.5 million and adjusted EBITDA to break into the €6.5-€8.5 million range, meanwhile for the full fiscal year ending December 31 2014, revenue of €265 million is predicted to complement an adjusted EBITDA of €47 million.
