Fiverr Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

by

in

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.

NEW YORK, July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR), the company that is changing how the world works together, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2024. Additional operating results and management commentary can be found in the Company’s shareholder letter, which is posted to its investor relations website at investors.fiverr.com.

“It has been an incredible past six months at Fiverr on many fronts as we navigated the dynamic macro environment and delivered profitable growth through executional excellence and focused operational discipline. In addition, we also made remarkable strides in our product evolution with the introduction of profession-based catalog and hourly contracts,” said Micha Kaufman, founder and CEO of Fiverr. “With these offerings, we look forward to becoming a more substantial partner with businesses of all sizes, for their need to engage with the flexible workforce, and significantly expand our direct addressable market. We also continue to be at the forefront of AI technology as we deepen the integration of Neo across search and order experiences on Fiverr. I’m very excited for what is still to come as we continue to innovate towards the future of work.”

“We delivered solid results for Q2 and reiterated our full year guidance. While the SMB and freelancer hiring space remain volatile, we continue to execute with consistency and efficiency. At the same time, we are expanding our product portfolio through both organic and inorganic investments to create additional growth catalysts,” said Ofer Katz, President and CFO of Fiverr. “We also aim to optimize our capital allocation strategy to deliver shareholder value. With strong free cash flow generation and a strong balance sheet to support capital return programs, we are paving a measurable and tangible path for steady growth in free cash flow for the next three years.”
