Greetings. Welcome to The Trade Desk fourth quarter 2022 earnings conference call. [Operator instructions] I will now turn the conference over to your host, Chris Toth. You may begin.
Chris Toth -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, operator. Hello, and good day to everyone. Welcome to The Trade Desk fourth quarter 2022 earnings conference call. On the call today are both founder and CEO, Jeff Green; and chief financial officer, Blake Grayson.
A copy of our earnings press release can be found on our website at thetradedesk.com in the investor relations section. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that except for historical information, some of the discussion and our responses in Q&A may contain forward-looking statements, which are dependent upon certain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date such statements are made. Actual results could vary significantly, and we expressly assume no obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements.
Should any of our beliefs or assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual financial results could differ materially from our projections or those implied by these forward-looking statements. I encourage you to refer to the risk factors referenced in our press release and included in our most recent SEC filings. In addition to reporting our GAAP financial results, we present supplemental non-GAAP financial data. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures can be found in our earnings press release.
We believe that providing non-GAAP measures, combined with our GAAP results, provides a more meaningful representation of the company's operational performance. With that, I'll now turn the call over to founder and CEO, Jeff Green. Jeff?
Jeff Green -- Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Chris, and thanks, everyone, for joining us today. Let me start by highlighting the numbers. Spend on our platform in 2022 was nearly $7.8 billion, a record for us. Fourth quarter revenue alone was $491 million, also a record.
CTV continued to be our strongest growth driver as more content owners from around the world are moving beyond ad-free subscription models and offering ad-supported options for viewers. And once again, despite all the uncertainty of the year, we delivered strong profitability, highlighting the operating leverage we have in our business. Our results are often benchmarked against the Rule of 40 and compared to other high-growth companies. In that benchmark, the health of a technology company is expressed as the sum of a company's growth rate and EBITDA margin.
