Green emphasized that the company continues to outpace the digital advertising market, with CTV remaining its fastest-growing channel. He noted deepening partnerships with major players such as Disney, NBCU, Walmart, Roku, LG, and Netflix. The Kokai platform, which claims to deliver significant cost savings and efficiency gains, is now adopted by about three-quarters of clients, with the company expecting full adoption by the end of 2025.
In terms of leadership, Green announced the appointment of Alex Kayyal as the new CFO, effective August 21, and welcomed AI expert Omar Tawakol to the board. The company also expects all clients to be using Kokai by the end of 2025, with ongoing strength in joint business plans and expanding international presence.
For the third quarter, The Trade Desk expects a 14% year-over-year revenue growth, reflecting strong fundamentals and the continued rollout of its advanced ad tools. The company's Q3 guidance also projects adjusted EBITDA of approximately $277 million.
While the company's Q2 report was well-received, the market's reaction to the Q3 outlook was mixed. Some analysts expressed curiosity and skepticism regarding competitive threats and the durability of product-driven KPI improvements. However, management maintained a confident and optimistic tone throughout the earnings call, emphasizing opportunities and innovation.
