Layoff history
Teads, the digital advertising company formed by the 2025 merger of Teads and Outbrain, cut 180 employees in December 2025, representing 10% of its combined workforce. The reductions were the second round since the merger closed in February 2025; a prior cut of roughly 200 employees had largely spared the Israeli office, but this wave did reach it, though development staff faced less exposure than other divisions. Third-quarter revenue of $319 million missed the $340 million forecast, and the merged company was burning through $24 million in cash per quarter. Management said the layoffs were intended to reduce annual operating costs by $35 to $40 million. One-time severance and related expenses were projected at $8 to $12 million, with most departures completed before year-end and a small number extending into early 2026. The company's market value had dropped about 90% over the course of 2025.
Reason: Cost reduction after revenue miss and post-merger restructuring
