Statement of Caution Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 the advertising strategies, needs and expectations of brands and agencies, industry and
market trends, expectations regarding investment strategies, and the financial targets such as revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins
of The Trade Desk, Inc. (the Company). 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 limited operating history, 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. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.
The Company does not intend to update any forward-looking statement contained in this press release to reflect events or circumstances arising after the
date hereof.

Included within this presentation are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of the
Company prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented
herein are provided in schedules accompanying this presentation 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 operational trends, financial performance, and
cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some
of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for or superior to
corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Information contained in this presentation concerning the industry and the markets in which the Company operates, including the Company’s general
expectations and market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on reports from various third-party sources, assumptions that the
Company has made based on information in such reports and the Company’s knowledge of the market for its platform. Although the Company believes
such third-party sources to be reliable, the Company has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and
completeness.
