Etsy, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results
Brooklyn, NY - August 2, 2023 - 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
“The Etsy marketplace’s active buyers reached an all-time high in the second quarter, signaling the relevance of our brand and our ability to create opportunities for our sellers. This growth in buyers helped our core marketplace return to year-over-year GMS growth in May and June, and we are pleased to see GMS growth continue into the beginning of the third quarter," said Josh Silverman, Etsy, Inc. Chief Executive Officer. "We believe we can unlock significant growth opportunities by making Etsy a more organized, curated, and reliable place to shop, and we are aligning our investments and efforts with initiatives that move us toward this vision. Our teams are working with speed and agility to execute on our ambitious roadmap and continue serving our global community.”
Second quarter 2023 performance highlights include:
•Consolidated GMS was largely flat at $3.0 billion, down 0.6% year-over-year and down 0.4% on a currency-neutral basis.
•Etsy marketplace GMS was $2.6 billion, down 0.7% year-over-year and down 0.4% on a currency-neutral basis.
◦Growth in active buyers accelerated to a 3% year-over-year increase in the second quarter and reached a new all time high of 91 million. We acquired 6 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, active buyer retention trends improved both from the prior year and prior quarter.
◦While GMS per active buyer on a trailing twelve month basis for the Etsy marketplace declined 6% year-over-year to $128 in the second quarter, trends in this metric began to stabilize on a sequential basis. Our number of habitual buyers was largely flat on a sequential basis at 7 million, another encouraging early sign of stabilization, as the strong pandemic related periods have fully rolled out of the trailing twelve month metric.
◦GMS ex-U.S. domestic for the Etsy marketplace was 47% of overall GMS, with GMS ex-U.S. domestic up 5% year-over-year as positive year-over-year growth resumed in the second quarter.
•Consolidated revenue was $628.9 million, up 7.5% versus the second quarter of 2022, with a take rate (i.e., consolidated revenue divided by consolidated GMS) of 20.9%.
•Consolidated net income was $61.9 million, down $11.2 million year-over-year, reflecting an impairment charge of the property and equipment and intangible assets of Elo7 for $68.1 million, offset in part by a related tax benefit of $15.0 million. Additionally, there was a $54.0 million tax benefit related to Elo7. Consolidated net income margin (i.e., net income divided by revenue) was approximately 9.8% and diluted net income per share was $0.45.
•Consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $166.2 million, with consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenue) of approximately 26.4%.
•Etsy ended the second quarter with $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments. Under Etsy’s stock repurchase program, during the second quarter of 2023, Etsy repurchased an aggregate of approximately $39 million, or 411,421 shares, of its common stock. On June 14, 2023, Etsy’s Board of Directors authorized a new $1 billion repurchase program.

(1)Consolidated GMS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes Etsy marketplace GMS of $2.6 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. Percent GMS ex-U.S. domestic for the Etsy marketplace for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 47% and 46%, respectively.
(2)Consolidated active sellers and active buyers includes Etsy marketplace active sellers and active buyers of 6.3 million and 90.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023.
To provide consistency with our calculation of GMS, beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we have reported 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.


“Etsy’s consolidated GMS was $3 billion, about flat compared to last year, and revenue grew 7.5% to $629 million, with strength from Etsy Ads and growth in payments revenue,” said Rachel Glaser, Chief Financial Officer. “We gained leverage on marketing, helping to drive very strong adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.4%. We are encouraged to report the second consecutive quarter of positive year-over-year growth in Etsy marketplace active buyers, improvement in GMS trends in some of our top categories, and early signs that both GMS per buyer and habitual buyer trends are stabilizing. At the midpoint, our third quarter consolidated GMS guidance assumes slightly positive year-over-year GMS growth.”


Second Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights

etsy-20230802_g2a.jpg
Etsy marketplace’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 second quarter 2023 product development, marketing, and other operational highlights are outlined below.
Product Highlights
Making Etsy More Curated and Organized
•We continued to invest in Search & Discovery to make Etsy more curated and organized. Several initiatives during the quarter positively impacted our average order value, such as elevating the best of Etsy by incorporating Etsy’s Pick listings into our search results for weddings, vintage items, and certain occasions.
•We improved the buyer experience by making purchasing journeys more efficient. For example, in our ‘Suggested’ filter, we prioritized listings with useful item details and higher-rated reviews, and we moved price and sale details above the listing title to better emphasize key information. We also added recommendations to our homepage by providing buyers organized shopping pathways based on the perceived mission, which drove conversion higher.
•We made progress creating category experiences and building brand association for Home & Living, Style, and Gifting purchase occasions. We added a curated ‘Shop the Look’ in Home & Living on our homepage, driving higher conversion. We launched Etsy Registry to shoppers globally, with Registry GMS growing on an overall steady weekly trajectory from the May launch through the end of June. Since the success of that launch, we’ve fast-tracked our expansion to more categories, including a baby Registry, which will be live this month. Early indications are that our ‘Etsy has it’ campaigns in our top three markets, which emphasize Home & Living, Style, and Gifting, are driving brand association for these purchase occasions.
Making Shopping on Etsy More Reliable and Joyful
•Our fulfillment improvement initiatives are an important component of making Etsy an even more trusted brand. During the quarter, we added local delivery signals to United States listings, making it easier for buyers to find sellers in their specific region or state. In addition to improving the buyer experience and driving up conversion rate, this initiative is an important component of our plans to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2030.
Helping Sellers Sustainably Expand their Business
•Etsy Ads was once again a key driver of revenue growth. During the quarter, we utilized multiple data retrieval systems to increase the relevance of paid ads, including the integration of XWalk, our real-time retrieval engine. We also drove increases in GMS by more heavily weighting the potential conversion of a listing, prioritizing ads more likely to convert in our ranking system.
•We are investing in our sellers by providing them the tools and insights needed to grow. For example, we launched our ‘Make an Offer’ feature that provides United States vintage shop owners the option to receive offers from buyers, allowing sellers to drive sales and build longer term buyer relationships. This feature experienced strong opt-in rates among vintage sellers (nearly 20%) and high engagement among habitual buyers. In addition, we held another highly successful EtsyUp event, reaching a record number of seller registrations and generating close to one million views across all content during the quarter.
Marketing Highlights
•We are focused on bringing buyers back to the platform faster and for more shopping missions. Our CRM initiatives performed well during the quarter, with transactional email optimizations driving meaningful incremental GMS. For example, we enhanced our shipping and delivery notification emails in the United States by including personalized category recommendations for buyers, which drove conversion and frequency higher.
•We expanded performance marketing investments from 13 to 20 non-core countries, now including the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Slovakia. We launched an English language ‘Megafeed’ for performance marketing investment in select European countries. This new capability allows us to welcome new buyers who may be searching in English but located in these countries. Where launched, this initiative drove incremental GMS and resulted in a meaningful increase in the rate of new buyer acquisition.


•We created several important brand moments during the quarter. We released a new “Creator Collab” with award-winning artist and entrepreneur John Legend, featuring handcrafted home decor and wardrobe staples produced in partnership with female sellers from the Etsy Uplift Initiative and other underrepresented communities. To date, we’ve seen this collection deliver above average order value and strong awareness, engagement, and frequency. We also held our 5th annual Etsy Design Awards, with over 30% increase in seller submissions from 2022, our highest level to date.
Impact Highlights
•We made progress on our Impact strategy, reflecting the positive effect we want to have on the world. The artisans of Etsy’s Uplift Makers program hit a major milestone during the quarter, collectively generating $1 million in sales on Etsy. Disability:IN, the leading global nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion, highlighted Etsy as a ‘Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.’ We also published a Human Rights Commitment, which can be found on the Investor Relations website.
Subsidiary Marketplace Highlights
etsy-20230802_g3a.jpg
Reverb launched significant changes to its catalog and taxonomy, making it easier for buyers to find, sort, and compare gear. Reverb also highlighted newly listed items on its homepage and simplified the checkout process, driving conversion higher. As part of its affordability focus, Reverb introduced new offer and negotiation tools, as well as provided greater seller guidance on pricing competitively.
etsy-20230802_g4a.jpg
Depop offered new personalized recommendations that incorporate a user’s prior actions and improved search relevance across search types. Building on the success of the ‘Make an Offer’ program, Depop launched seller-initiated offers with enhanced pricing guidance. Depop also expanded its performance marketing data feeds to additional listings, driving a strong increase in paid marketing contribution. Seller adoption of its ‘Boosted Listings’ onsite ads platform increased, and Depop launched a buy now, pay later option in the United States.
On July 18, 2023 we announced an agreement to sell the parent holding company of Elo7, our Brazil-based handmade goods marketplace, to Enjoei S.A. in Brazil. On a consolidated basis, while slightly dilutive to GMS, this sale is expected to have a modestly positive impact to adjusted EBITDA.
Commenting on this decision, Mr. Silverman said, “Although the Elo7 team has worked very hard to build a beloved marketplace and vibrant community in Brazil, we have not seen the performance we had anticipated when we made this acquisition two years ago, in part due to the recent macroeconomic environment. Given these circumstances, we believe this is the best outcome for Etsy, our stockholders and other stakeholders, and Elo7 and its employees, as well as the Elo7 buyer and seller communities.” Following the close of the transaction, Etsy’s House of Brands will include the three scaled, global marketplaces Etsy, Reverb, and Depop.


Financial Guidance and Outlook
Etsy’s guidance for consolidated GMS, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter of 2023 is:

GMS:         $2.95B to $3.10B

Revenue:        $610M to $645M

Adjusted EBITDA
margin:        27-28%

Please note that our guidance assumes currency exchange rates remain unchanged at current levels. In our guidance, we have assumed that the pending sale of Elo7 is completed during the middle of the third quarter.

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 (gain) loss, 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.

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; (benefit) provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; foreign exchange (gain) loss; acquisition-related expenses; and asset impairment charges. 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 (gain) loss;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related expenses;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect asset impairment charges; 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.
