Exhibit 99.1 The Trade Desk Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 6, 2026--The Trade Desk, Inc.

We have a clear understanding of the factors that impacted our performance, and we are taking decisive action to strengthen our execution, upgrade our platform, and sharpen our focus on the areas where we can create the greatest value. While there is work ahead, I am confident our actions will help marketers drive better business outcomes and support the shift of media budgets toward the open internet.” Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: The following table summarizes the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 ($ in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 GAAP Results Revenue $ 715 $ 694 $ 1,404 $ 1,310 Increase in revenue year over year 3 % 19 % 7 % 22 % Net income $ 64 $ 90 $ 104 $ 141 Net income margin 9 % 13 % 7 % 11 % GAAP diluted earnings per share $ 0.14 $ 0.18 $ 0.22 $ 0.28 Non-GAAP Results Adjusted EBITDA $ 241 $ 271 $ 447 $ 479 Adjusted EBITDA margin 34 % 39 % 32 % 37 % Non-GAAP net income $ 158 $ 203 $ 292 $ 368 Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share $ 0.34 $ 0.41 $ 0.62 $ 0.74 Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights: • Strong Customer Retention: Customer retention remained over 95% during the second quarter, as it has for over a decade. • New Innovation and Partnership Announcements: ◦ Dentsu named The Trade Desk as the first DSP partner for its new end-to-end retail data offering from New Stream Media. ◦ The Trade Desk expanded its commerce media ecosystem through integrations with leading travel, hospitality and mobility including Booking.com, Agoda, Kayak, Priceline, Marriott, Uber and United Airlines, helping advertisers activate high-intent commerce and travel signals and unify campaign activation, measurement and optimization across the open internet. ◦ Databricks named The Trade Desk a launch partner for CustomerLake, connecting first-party data and agentic AI directly to media execution across the open internet. ◦ Adobe and The Trade Desk forged a new integration connecting paid media exposure data directly to first-party profiles in Adobe Real-Time CDP. • Connected TV (CTV): The Trade Desk offers advertisers access to premium inventory across major networks and streaming services around the world. ◦ Netflix joined The Trade Desk’s Sellers and Publishers 500+, enabling advertiser access to Netflix’s premier streaming environment automatically through the company’s scaled inventory marketplace. ◦ Samsung Ads opened its premium home screen inventory to programmatic buyers, with The Trade Desk named among the first platforms granted access, giving advertisers a unified view of creative and measurement performance. • Strengthened Executive Leadership and Governance: ◦ The Trade Desk recently appointed Nate Olmstead as Chief Financial Officer, Sarah Gavin as Chief Marketing Officer and EVP, Kristi Argyilan as Chief Commercial Officer and EVP, Ron Lamprecht as Chief Business Development Officer and SVP, and Vinny Rinaldi as Vice President of Client Strategy & Growth, further strengthening the company’s leadership across finance, marketing, commercial strategy, data partnerships and strategic partnerships. ◦ The Company also added advertising, AI, and global scaling expertise to its Board of Directors, through the appointments of Penry Price and David Haddad to its board of directors. • Share Repurchases: The Company used approximately $78 million of cash to repurchase its Class A common stock in the second quarter of 2026.

The Company expects the variability of the above charges could have a significant and potentially unpredictable impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information Included within this press release are the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) that supplement the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is net income before depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; interest income, net; and provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin’s closest corresponding U.S. GAAP measure is net income margin, which is GAAP net income divided by revenue. Non-GAAP net income excludes charges and the related income tax effects for stock-based compensation. Tax rates on the tax-deductible portions of the stock-based compensation expense approximating 25% to 30% have been used in the computation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented herein are provided in schedules accompanying this release and should be considered together with the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company’s management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company's profitability, operational trends and financial performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management and securities analysts. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation of, as a replacement for, or as superior to corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that (a) are not historical facts, (b) predict or forecast future events or results, or (c) embody assumptions that may prove to have been inaccurate, including statements relating to industry and market trends, the Company’s growth and financial targets, such as revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. When words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “outlook” or similar expressions are used, the Company is making forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give readers any assurance that such expectations will prove correct. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those related to the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its client base and revenue through its platform and related offerings, which makes it difficult to evaluate the Company’s business and prospects, the market for programmatic advertising developing slower or differently than the Company’s expectations, the demands and expectations of clients and the ability to attract and retain clients. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These are disclosed in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form 10-K and any subsequent filings on Forms 10-Q or 8-K, available at www.sec.gov.
