Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Cardlytics, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 26, 2008, (together with its consolidated subsidiaries "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Cardlytics"), operates a purchase intelligence platform that transforms transaction data into targeted, personalized offers and rewards for consumer brands, delivered through a banking and commerce platform in the United States and United Kingdom. At the core of our platform is the financial media network that we operate within our partners' digital channels, which includes online and mobile applications (the "Cardlytics purchase intelligence platform"). The partners for the Cardlytics purchase intelligence platform are predominantly financial institutions ("FI partners") that provide us with access to their anonymized purchase data and digital banking customers. By applying advanced analytics to the purchase data we receive, we make it actionable, helping marketers reach potential buyers at scale and measure the true incremental sales impact of their marketing spend. We have strong relationships with leading marketers across a variety of industries, including everyday spend, specialty retail, restaurant, travel and entertainment. Using our transaction data and analytics, we enable marketers to reach potential customers across our network of FI partners through their digital banking accounts and present them relevant cash back offers when they are thinking about their finances. Unaudited Interim Results The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonality of our business, which has been historically impacted by higher consumer spending during the fourth quarter. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included on our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Reverse Stock Split Effective June 5, 2026, we effected (i) a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") and (ii) a corresponding reduction in the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. In accordance with ASC 260-10-55-12, all share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including shares of common stock outstanding, weighted-average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share, stock-based compensation awards, and earnings per share for all periods presented, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Divestitures and Presentation On January 23, 2026, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PAR Technology Corporation (“PAR”) and DB Sub, LLC, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of PAR (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire all of our assets, properties and rights primarily related to, or primarily used in, our Bridg platform (the “Purchased Assets” and the sale by the Company thereof, the “Bridg Sale”), subject to certain exceptions. On March 24, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the Bridg Sale. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, PAR delivered to us 1,810,222 shares of common stock in PAR as consideration for the Bridg Sale. A business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition and an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated. Additionally, the sale must be probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of (i) its carrying amount and (ii) estimated fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less costs to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period as appropriate. Assets held for sale are not further depreciated or amortized once such a determination is reached. The results of operations of businesses classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. When a business is identified for discontinued operations reporting: (i) results for prior periods are retrospectively reclassified as discontinued operations; (ii) results of operations are reported in a single line, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations; and (iii) assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale. We analyzed quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the Bridg disposal group and determined that the accounting criteria to be classified as held for sale and a discontinued operation were met during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We determined the net assets were held for sale when the sale was approved by the Board of Directors in January 2026. Additionally, we determined the ultimate closing of the sale on March 24, 2026, represented a strategic shift for the Company. As such, the results of Bridg business are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of Bridg business have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for all prior periods presented. We ceased depreciating and amortizing our long-lived assets for the Bridg business which primarily included acquired intangible assets, capitalized software, and right-of-use assets as of the held for sale date, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes cash flows from discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect only our continuing operations. Our Bridg business was historically presented as a reportable segment. For additional information related to the divestiture of Bridg see Note 3—Discontinued Operations. The Dosh app, a consumer facing cashback mobile application operated by Dosh Holdings LLC, was decommissioned on February 28, 2025. In connection with the decommission, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a gain on divestiture of $5.2 million primarily due to the derecognition of the wallet liability associated with the Dosh app within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, internal-use software development costs, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill valuation, income tax including valuation allowance and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Changes in facts or circumstances may cause us to change our assumptions and estimates in future periods and it is possible that actual results could differ from our current or revised future estimates. Macroeconomic Considerations Unfavorable conditions in the economy both in the United States and abroad may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events, including fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, the imposition of tariffs in the United States and abroad, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Middle East conflict have contributed to rising energy costs and economic uncertainty globally. These conditions, together with higher inflation and tariff-driven price increases, may alter consumer buying behavior and reduce consumer discretionary spending. During periods of such economic uncertainty, businesses may reduce their advertising and marketing expenditures, which could negatively impact demand for our platform and our results of operations. The effect of macroeconomic conditions may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. If, however, economic uncertainty increases or the global economy worsens, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be impacted. For further discussion of the potential impacts of macroeconomic events on our business, financial condition and operating results, see the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report.
