Riskified Ltd. - RSKD STOCK NEWS

Riskified (NYSE: RSKD) reported strong Q3 2024 results with significant improvements in financial metrics. Revenue increased 10% year-over-year to $78.8 million, while GMV grew 17% to $34.7 billion. The company achieved record quarterly free cash flow of $13.9 million and improved GAAP gross profit margin to 49%. Notable achievements include winning their largest Policy Protect deal worth $2 million in Annual Contract Value and expanding in the Tickets and Live Events sector. The Board authorized an additional $75 million share repurchase program, with approximately $85 million total authorization outstanding. The company improved its FY 2024 guidance, expecting revenue between $322-327 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $14-20 million.

Riskified's new research reveals a significant shift in ecommerce return and refund policies due to increasing fraud and policy abuse. The study, covering seven major markets, shows that returns, refunds, and exchanges cost retailers $394 billion, with at least $28 billion impacted by fraud and abuse. 84% of merchants find abuse harder to detect, driven by Dark Web 'fraud-as-a-service' groups and malicious GenAI tools.

As a result, retailers are tightening their policies: one-third now charge return fees, another third offer exchange-only or store credit-only policies, and two in five allow just seven days to file claims. However, only 30% of merchants have implemented strategies to prevent fraudulent returns and refunds. Riskified (NYSE:RSKD) suggests adopting identity-based technology approaches to balance customer experience with fraud prevention.
