Executives will Present at Brand Innovators & High-Tech Retailing Events Alongside Uber, Saatva, Intuit, Facebook, & Other Top Brands

ATLANTA, GA – Dec. 31, 2019 – Cardlytics (NASDAQ: CDLX), a purchase intelligence platform that makes marketing more relevant and measurable, will present at CES (January 6 - 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada) on how brand marketers can navigate critical challenges—such as the growth of omnichannel shopping and generating lasting customer loyalty to drive revenue.

Key Cardlytics presentations include:

• High-Tech Retailing: Ross McNab, Cardlytics’ President of U.S. Advertising, will join executives from Saatva, Facebook, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health, Meijer, and Coresight Research on Wednesday, January 8, at 12:15 p.m. PST at the Las Vegas Convention Center. While traditional retail continued to face strong headwinds in 2019, many digitally native, high-growth companies expanded by opening physical locations. The panel, From Clicks to Bricks: Online Gets Physical, discusses this growing trend, and how marketers can build their own winning omnichannel strategies to drive revenue.
  
  
• Brand Innovators Mega-Trends: Dani Cushion, Cardlytics’ Chief Marketing Officer, will moderate a Women in Marketing Leadership session with thought leaders from Uber, Intuit, Sutter Health, and Crane USA on Wednesday, January 8, at 11:35 a.m. PST at the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas. The panelists will share their perspectives on the most important topics in marketing today, how they build customer loyalty, and how their paths to success can help guide other women to excel as leaders.

“As customer shopping behavior evolves, marketers are relying on innovative technology solutions and data-driven insights to drive growth,” said Cardlytics’ CMO, Dani Cushion. “As the only native ad platform built within banks’ digital channels and a view into $2.8T in purchase data, Cardlytics is intimately familiar with the challenges facing brands today. We look forward to sharing purchase-based insights to help CES attendees achieve their 2020 goals.”

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to our preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019 and our expected future growth of FI MAUs in 2020. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "should," "believe," "hope," "target," "project," "goals," "estimate," "potential," "predict," "may," "will," "might," "could," "intend," variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control.

Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: our financial performance, including our revenue, margins, costs, expenditures, growth rates and operating expenses, and our ability to sustain revenue growth, generate positive cash flow and become profitable; our substantial dependence on our Cardlytics Direct product; risks related to our substantial dependence on JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Chase”), Bank of America, National Association ("Bank of America") and a limited number of other financial institution (“FI”) partners; our ability to successfully implement Cardlytics Direct for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) customers and maintain relationships with Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America; the amount and timing of budgets by marketers, which are affected by budget cycles, economic conditions and other factors; our ability to generate sufficient revenue to offset contractual commitments to FIs; our ability to attract new FI partners and maintain relationships with bank processors and digital banking providers; our ability to maintain relationships with marketers; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including our ability to adapt to changes in consumer habits, negotiate fee arrangements with new and existing FIs and retailers, and develop and launch new services and features, and other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2019 and in subsequent periodic reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance Metrics

To supplement the financial measures presented in our press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present billings, a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, as well as certain other performance metrics, such as FI monthly active users (“FI MAUs”).

A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements. We provide certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to our operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies.

We have presented billings as a non-GAAP financial measure in this press release. Billings represents the gross amount billed to marketers for advertising campaigns in order to generate revenue. Billings is reported gross of both Consumer Incentives and FI Share. Our GAAP revenue is recognized net of Consumer Incentives and gross of FI Share.

We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of our core operations or do not require a cash outlay. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results, and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance.

We define FI MAUs as targetable customers or accounts of our FI partners that logged in and visited the online or mobile banking applications of, or opened an email containing our offers from, our FI partners during a monthly period. We then calculate a monthly average of these FI MAUs for the periods presented.
