Yahoo DSP now has Taboola Ad Console integrated inside, and it looks awesome. That was an initial part of enabling Yahoo Omnichannel advertisers to migrate to Taboola.
We’ve launched our first Omnichannel advertisers with very promising results. In summary, we have seen good progress on migration to date and we’re seeing encouraging results for our
advertisers. Lots of work still to do, but feeling good about the progress so far.

Bidding - New bidding models and the opening of new demand categories in Q3 provided us with ex-TAC improvement in the
quarter. Very good progress with Microsoft and our ability to leverage new bidding technology in many more places. We told investors a year ago in April when Microsoft shifted to our new bidding technology, which Microsoft helped us design,
that it will make Microsoft a growing partnership, and in Q3 Microsoft was nearly 2x bigger than Q3 of last year.

Revenue baseline is equal to the expected FY 2022 financials for TBLA at guidance midpoint (66% of combined Revenues) + FY 2022 expected financials for Yahoo Native supply* that will
be serviced by TBLA (34% of combined Revenues)
|
| ● |
Revenue uplift on Yahoo supply from improved yield due to the application of Taboola technology and data
|
| ● |
Revenue uplift on stand-alone Taboola supply from improved yield due to advertiser demand from Yahoo and additional data
|
| ● |
Operating expenses based on bottom up model of resources needed to support deal
|
| ● |
Assumes no ramp up time - numbers assume Yahoo is part of Taboola network from the beginning of 2022 and assumes uplifts and operating expenses start from the beginning of the year
