Press Release Details

Etsy, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

May 3, 2023

BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY), which operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

"We are pleased that Etsy has once again delivered solid top and bottom line performance in the first quarter, maintaining the vast majority of our pandemic gains in the face of stiff macroeconomic headwinds," said Josh Silverman, Etsy, Inc. Chief Executive Officer. "We've kicked off an exciting pipeline of product development and marketing initiatives to drive improved customer experiences and engagement in 2023. We believe that Etsy can be more relevant, more often, to many more millions of buyers around the world. So we'll be focused on welcoming new buyers to the joy of Etsy, deepening buyer curiosity and engagement, instilling trust when transacting with us, and being the preferred platform for our sellers because we help them grow effectively and efficiently."

First quarter 2023 performance highlights include:

  • Consolidated GMS was $3.1 billion, down 4.6% year-over-year and down 2.6% on a currency-neutral basis.
  • Etsy marketplace GMS was $2.7 billion, down 4.7% year-over-year and down 2.6% on a currency-neutral basis.
    • First quarter 2023 GMS was impacted by consumer wallet share shifts from goods to services, year-over-year declines in some of our larger categories such as home and living and craft supplies, and pressure on consumer discretionary spending particularly for lower household income buyers.
    • The Etsy marketplace grew active buyers by 1% year-over-year to 89.9 million, the first time this metric has grown on a year-over-year basis since the fourth quarter of 2021. We acquired 7 million new buyers, reactivated 21% more buyers than during the prior year period, and retained active buyers at levels above pre-pandemic rates on a trailing twelve month basis. On a quarterly basis, retention trends improved both from the prior year and the prior quarter.
    • GMS Ex-U.S. domestic for the Etsy marketplace was 46% of overall GMS, with GMS ex-U.S. domestic increasing 3% year-over-year on a currency-neutral basis.
  • Consolidated revenue was $640.9 million, up 10.6% versus the first quarter of 2022, with a take rate (i.e., consolidated revenue divided by consolidated GMS) of 20.7%. This revenue performance reflects the Etsy marketplace transaction fee increase which went into effect on April 11, 2022.
  • Consolidated net income was $74.5 million, down $11.6 million year-over-year, with consolidated net income margin (i.e., net income divided by revenue) of approximately 12% and diluted net income per share of $0.53.
  • Consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $170.3 million, with consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenue) of approximately 26.6%.
  • Etsy ended the first quarter with $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments. Under Etsy's stock repurchase program, during the first quarter of 2023, Etsy repurchased an aggregate of approximately $148 million, or 1,205,151 shares, of its common stock. On March 1st, the capped call instruments related to the 2018 convertible notes were settled for 1,194,006 shares of Etsy's common stock that were retired upon receipt.

Consolidated GMS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes Etsy marketplace GMS of $2.7 billion. Percent GMS ex-U.S. domestic for the Etsy marketplace for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 46%.



(2)

Consolidated active sellers and active buyers includes Etsy marketplace active sellers and active buyers of 5.9 million and 89.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023.


To provide consistency with our calculation of GMS, beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we are reporting our mobile GMS, GMS ex-U.S. domestic, and Non-U.S. domestic GMS as a percentage of GMS net of refunds. We did not apply this change to prior periods as the impact was immaterial to such periods. For information about how we otherwise define our metrics, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

"Consolidated first quarter 2023 GMS came in a bit above the midpoint of our guidance as some of the Etsy marketplace volatility and headwinds we experienced during February eased in March," said Rachel Glaser Chief Financial Officer. "While we remain cautious on the broader macroeconomic climate, we are pleased to see positive trends in our first quarter 2023 buyer data, particularly the return to year-over-year growth in the Etsy marketplace's active buyer base. Consolidated revenue grew 11% year-over-year, and our highly variable cost structure allowed us to deliver a healthy adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.6%. We believe that our disciplined investment approach can enable above e-commerce industry growth and best-in-class profitability on average and over time."

First Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights

Etsy
Etsy's product roadmap remains aligned with our long-term 'Right to Win' strategy which is focused on delivering best-in-class search and discovery, improving human connections between buyers and sellers, making Etsy a trusted brand and highlighting our sellers' unique items. Select first quarter 2023 product development, marketing and other operational highlights are outlined below.

  • Investing in Search & Discovery remains an important component of improving efficiency and inspiration for our buyers. We kicked off work streams focused on increasing personalization and relevancy in search, such as utilizing more information related to buyer purchases that analyze longer time periods, which drove up average order value. We also made improvements to the item ranking we use for recommendations in order to consider longer-term buyer interests and deliver more diverse results.

  • Given the pressure on consumer discretionary spending, Etsy has been highlighting the attractive value offered by our sellers' merchandise to buyers on and off-site. For example, we improved the buyer experience by adding key information along the purchasing journey, providing greater prominence to price and sale details on the listing page, which drove increased conversion.

  • Etsy Ads remained an important driver of our revenue growth. We launched new capabilities to incorporate in-session buyer behavior that enhanced personalization, delivering conversion improvements and driving efficiency in the auction process. We also launched ads in our App that are visually larger than organic listings, making it easier for users to preview listing details in paid search results.

  • We strive to be the platform sellers love to sell on by investing to help our sellers efficiently and effectively manage their shops. For example, during the quarter we provided sellers with personalized growth insights to drive sales and improve conversion rates by providing abandoned cart offers to both guest and signed-in users. We continued to expand our Star Seller program with the number of sellers included in the program up nearly 80% year-over-year, and we introduced a Star Seller filter in our search, which led to increased purchase frequency and buyer spend.

  • We optimized our performance marketing attribution models and leveraged higher lifetime buyer value related to our transaction fee increase (April 11, 2022), allowing us to spend deeper in performance marketing year-over-year while maintaining a positive ROI. We also ran incrementality tests across our largest performance marketing programs as we continue to test and improve the efficiency of our performance marketing spend.

  • Leveraging our new TV and digital marketing campaigns in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, we began to selectively lean into messaging about Home & Living, Style, and Gifting items. Our goal is to build brand association for these purchase occasions by better communicating Etsy's value proposition and breath of offerings to buyers. 

  • Our new $30 million Impact Investment Fund made investments in Grameen America, which provides capital, training, and support to aspiring women business owners from low-income and marginalized communities, and Greenbacker Capital Management, an investment firm that catalyzes growth in renewable energy technology.

Select highlights of first quarter business initiatives for our subsidiary marketplaces are outlined below:

Reverb

Reverb continued to emphasize affordability, which drove higher conversion. For example, Reverb lowered its 'Price Drop' display threshold to 5% from 10%, added 'Great Value' badged listings to its homepage, and made it easier for sellers to engage privately with buyers interested in a specific piece of gear to negotiate a discounted price. Reverb also continued to optimize its performance marketing investment, delivering solid results and a positive ROI in the quarter.

Depop

Depop's product development velocity reached near all-time highs during the quarter, while maintaining its overall win rate. This included meaningful product wins in search, particularly improving product matching of listings to buyers that drove higher conversions, exposing buyers to more relevant and personalized content to browse & explore, and making it easier for sellers to create higher quality listings. Seller adoption of Depop's 'Boosted Listings' onsite ads platform also increased in the first quarter. 

Elo7

Elo7 enhanced search capabilities by increasing App listing page speed, improving user experience such as auto-correcting misspelled search terms, and increasing filtering capabilities to allow multiple selections, such as category. Elo7 also added enhanced shipping capabilities to provide more accurate delivery times and continued to refine its ROI models used for paid marketing channels.

Financial Guidance and Outlook

Etsy's guidance for consolidated GMS, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2023 is:

GMS:

$2.85B to $3.10B

Revenue:

$590M to $640M

Adjusted EBITDA margin:

Approximately 26%

Please note that our guidance assumes currency exchange rates remain unchanged at current levels.

With respect to our expectations under "Financial Guidance and Outlook" above, reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from Adjusted EBITDA; in particular, stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), and acquisition-related expenses, and other non-recurring expenses can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.

Webcast and Conference Call Information

Etsy will host a video webcast conference call to discuss these results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, which will be live-streamed via our Investor Relations website (investors.etsy.com) under the Events section. Those interested in submitting questions during the earnings call can do so by using the Q&A chat window, which will be available during the webcast. A copy of the earnings call presentation will also be posted to our website.

A replay of the video webcast will be available through the same link following the conference call starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time this evening, for at least three months thereafter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

In this press release, we provide Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our net income adjusted to exclude: interest and other non-operating (income) expense, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; foreign exchange loss (gain); and acquisition-related expenses. We also provide Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure that presents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because they are key measures used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate our operating performance and trends, allocate internal resources, prepare and approve our annual budget, develop short- and long-term operating plans, determine incentive compensation, and assess the health of our business. As our Adjusted EBITDA increases, we are able to invest more in our platforms.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business as they remove the impact of certain non-cash items and certain variable charges.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect other non-operating expenses, net of other non-operating income, including net interest expense;

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense;

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the impact of foreign exchange loss (gain);

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related expenses; and

  • other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income, revenue, and our other GAAP results.
