Etsy's Board of Directors Approves a new $1B Stock Repurchase Program
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 30, 2024 /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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
"Our third quarter consolidated results came in roughly as anticipated, with some incremental pressure on Etsy marketplace year-over-year GMS, healthy growth in revenue, and continued strength in our adjusted EBITDA profitability," said Josh Silverman, Etsy, Inc. Chief Executive Officer. "We made excellent progress improving Etsy marketplace customer experiences - from Gifting, to Quality, a new loyalty program, investing in our app, and more - all of which we believe will drive engagement and frequency over time. While 2024 has been a challenging period for discretionary goods, we are investing with discipline and focus to make Etsy even more Etsy - which we believe will lift our boat when the tide comes back in again."
Third quarter 2024 performance highlights include:
"We continue to balance long-term growth investments with delivering strong and sustainable profitability," said Rachel Glaser, Chief Financial Officer. "Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was about 28%, ahead of our guidance, with excellent revenue flow through - benefiting primarily from healthy growth in both our Marketplace and Services segments, and continued cost efficiencies. We continue to drive leverage in product development, offset somewhat by increased marketing spend in the quarter as Etsy expanded investments in paid social and newer performance marketing channels, and Depop leaned in to both performance and brand marketing aligned with its growth opportunity."
Earlier today, Etsy's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional $1 billion of our common stock.

Third Quarter 2024 Operating Highlights
Etsy
Our "Right to Win" is centered on key elements that we believe make the Etsy marketplace a better place to shop and sell and, which, in turn, will bring more buyers, lead to increased frequency and size of purchases, and build trust in the Etsy marketplace. In 2024, we are focused on building buyer consideration by making it easier to 'find the best stuff' on Etsy, driving association that Etsy sellers offer great value, and making shopping on Etsy more reliable and dependable. The below highlights some of our key initiatives:
Product Highlights:
In order to drive buyer Consideration, we are making progress in our efforts to position Etsy as an indispensable partner for Gifting, with broad based investments positively impacting our performance. We:
To help buyers 'find the best stuff on Etsy,' we invested in the following Quality initiatives:
Aligned with our efforts to make shopping on Etsy more reliable and dependable, we began testing new ways for buyers to access support more easily through prominent support links in user profiles and conversational AI within the Help Center.
We deepened investments in the buy on Etsy app as part of efforts to make the app our marquee shopping experience. We introduced bolder prompts on mobile web, with a focus on driving buyers to download the app.
Due to significant strides made in optimizing how we bid on behalf of our sellers, which resulted in better balancing of seller ad value across seller segments, Etsy Ads revenue performance accelerated on a year-over-year and sequential basis. We also incorporated more features and multimodal embeddings into our ranking models (capturing listing image representations), which led to an improvement in ads conversion rates.
Marketing Highlights:
We invited highly targeted groups of occasional U.S. buyers to join our new Etsy Insider Loyalty program. Etsy Insider is buyer-fee based, offering free U.S. domestic shipping on millions of items, item discounts, first access merchandise and other benefits. The program, which currently offers seasonal and annual options, has been launched in beta form, and we will be testing and iterating to determine its impact on frequency and loyalty over time.
We ran full funnel marketing campaigns in the United States and United Kingdom, which featured real Etsy sellers and highlighted our unique positioning. Our buyer research shows that the campaign's top themes of 'supporting small,' 'originally made,' and 'handcrafted' resonated with buyers.
We continued to scale mid-funnel paid social channels to diversify our channel portfolio mix. In line with our Quality efforts, we leveraged machine learning models to adjust offsite marketing feeds, making more room for the very best of Etsy by suppressing or removing listings with patterns of poor service quality.

Please note that our guidance assumes currency exchange rates remain unchanged at current levels.
With respect to our expectations under "Consolidated Q4 24 Financial Guidance" and outlook for the remainder of 2024 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), interest and other non-operating income, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, acquisition, divestiture, and corporate structure-related expenses, and other non-recurring expenses.
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. 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.
