Fiverr’s 2nd Qtr Results

Read Time5 Minute, 25 Second
  • Solid Q2 execution: Revenue came in above the midpoint of our guidance despite macro volatility as we continued to expand customer wallet share and drive take rate increase. We also delivered strong Adjusted EBITDA, near the top end of our guidance, and strong free cash flow as we continued to execute with strong discipline and efficiency.
  • Expanding product portfolio to create strong growth catalysts: Our Summer Product Release includes the launch of a brand new profession-based catalog along with capabilities to hire talent for long-term engagement, making a major stride in expanding our direct addressable market. We also folded in a subscription-based software business through the acquisition of AutoDS, deepening our value proposition to the creator community and adding a durable revenue stream to our business with significant synergy and growth potential.
  • Optimizing capital allocation strategy to deliver shareholder value: We are committed to setting clear capital allocation priorities and creating a tangible path for delivering shareholder value. We have successfully completed the $100 million buyback program announced in April. We aim to drive a steady and measurable increase in free cash flow combined with a dynamic capital return program for the next three years.
  • Reiterating full year guidance: Our strategy to move upmarket and push into complex services continues to unlock long-term growth opportunities for our marketplace businesses. This is complemented by our expansion into the long-term freelancer hiring space and the addition of subscription-based software to our product portfolio. As such, we are raising the bottom end of our full-year guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to reflect recent updates.
