Facebook previously said it was working to "mitigate" any impact. It's a different tone than the company took for much of last year. "It's very much a multi-year effort to rebuild our ad targeting," Sandberg said. Measurement of ad targeting and reach is still taking a big hit.

And it's coming on a "delayed basis," she said. The company is still receiving "less granular" conversion data, or information about what ads result in a user making a purchase or taking another action. COO Sheryl Sandberg said the business impact will "moderately" increase in the first quarter of 2022, and then continue through the year. "We're rebuilding a lot of our advertising infrastructure so we can continue to grow and deliver personalized ads." "There's a clear trend where less data is available for personalized ads," Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder and CEO, said on the call. The impending launch of iOS 15 will create even more of an impact, he added, along with new data privacy regulations in Europe. The executive suggested this arrangement creates an "incentive" for the iPhone maker to treat Google better than Facebook and other digital 3.ĭuring a conference call with analysts on Wednesday, Facebook's Wehner took aim at Apple for its deal with Google to have that search engine be the default on its devices. Pinterest has said it expects "varying degrees of impact for advertisers on audiences, measurement and reporting, and conversion campaigns." Pinterest's earnings report is due Feb. Last year, Twitter CFO Ned Segal said the company saw a "modest" impact from the Apple changes in the third quarter, noting it was "lower than expected." Twitter reports next on Feb. Like Facebook, before the new privacy controls rolled out, Snap had said it would be able to avoid a serious financial hit. The company missed revenue guidance and its stock has steadily fallen in recent months. Snap took a big hit last year, saying in its third-quarter results that Apple's alternative ad tools did not work as well as anticipated. Shares of those 3 companies dropped 17%, 8%, and 9%, respectively in after-hours trading on Wednesday. Investors are now bracing for similar financial carnage at rivals such as Snap, Twitter and Pinterest. Facebook's stock plunged 23% in late trading after the results, which included a big miss on revenue from its metaverse segment, Reality Labs. "It's a pretty significant headwind on our business," Wehner said. This is more than the expected financial impact Apple's moves had last year on Facebook, Snap, and Twitter combined.
