Insights

Riskified's Q2 2024 results show promising signs of growth and improved profitability. The company's GMV increased by 13% year-over-year, while revenue grew by 8%. Notably, the Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $2.34 million, a significant improvement from the $4.59 million loss in Q2 2023.

The company's focus on geographic diversification and expansion into new verticals is paying off, with 7 out of 10 new Chargeback Guarantee logos coming from outside the US. The expansion in Japan and success in the Ticketing and Live Events sub-vertical are particularly promising for future growth.

Riskified's improved financial guidance for 2024, with Adjusted EBITDA now expected between $13 million and $19 million, signals growing confidence in their business model and operational efficiency. However, investors should monitor the company's ability to maintain this momentum and achieve sustainable profitability.

Riskified's introduction of new AI-powered capabilities, particularly the Policy Decisions tool within Decision Studio, represents a significant technological advancement. This self-service platform for managing customer-facing policies could be a game-changer in the e-commerce risk management space.

The company's "machine learning factory" approach to solving additional use cases beyond chargeback fraud demonstrates a commitment to innovation and expanding their addressable market. This strategy could potentially lead to increased customer retention and higher revenue per customer.

However, as AI and machine learning become more prevalent in the industry, Riskified will need to continuously innovate to maintain its competitive edge. The recognition in CNBC's Top Fintech Companies List validates their current position, but sustained investment in R&D will be important for long-term success.

Riskified's performance indicates a growing demand for advanced fraud prevention and risk management solutions in e-commerce. The company's success in landing new merchants across diverse geographies and verticals suggests a expanding market opportunity.

The focus on the Ticketing and Live Events sub-vertical is particularly noteworthy, as this sector has seen significant growth post-pandemic. Riskified's ability to cross-sell additional products like Dispute Resolve at initial contract signing demonstrates the strength of their product suite and potential for increasing revenue per customer.

The company's share repurchase program, with $39 million spent in Q2, signals management's confidence in the company's valuation and future prospects. However, investors should consider the balance between these buybacks and investments in growth initiatives to ensure long-term value creation.

Continues to Diversify Network of Global Merchants through New Logo Wins

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Riskified Ltd. (NYSE: RSKD) (the “Company”), a leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company will host an investor call to discuss these results today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

“We believe that Riskified remains well positioned to gain market share by capturing a greater portion of the eCommerce whitespace in front of us. We have great demand for our products, and by continuously strengthening our machine learning factory to solve additional use cases beyond chargeback fraud, I am confident that our durable business will continue to execute for merchants and our shareholders.” said Eido Gal, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Riskified.

Q2 2024 Business Highlights

  • Expanded Leadership Positioning in Tickets and Live Event Sub-Vertical: Similar to the first quarter, one of our top new logos won during the second quarter was in our Ticketing and Live Events sub-vertical. We launched our relationship with this merchant by capturing all of this merchant's Chargeback Guarantee volume from a competitor, and we successfully cross-sold our Dispute Resolve product at initial contract signing.
  • Further Geographic Diversification with the Addition of New Merchants: We continued to have success landing new merchants on the Riskified network, which in turn deepened our vertical and geographic reach. Our top ten new logos added during the second quarter represented five different verticals across three geographies, with seven of our top ten new Chargeback Guarantee logos located outside of the United States.
  • Landed Key Account in Japan: Landed a cornerstone account in Japan during the second quarter. This multinational fashion company owns several global brands. We view this new logo win as an important cornerstone merchant, as we seek to unlock further opportunities in the region.
  • Share Repurchase Program Update: During the second quarter we repurchased 6.8 million ordinary shares for $39.0 million. Our total outstanding aggregate repurchase authorization was approximately $50 million as of August 5th. We remain committed to repurchasing our shares at what we believe are attractive valuation levels.
  • Named to CNBC's 2024 List of the World's Top Fintech Companies: We were recently named to CNBC's Top Fintech Companies List. This recognition highlights our market-leading position in the ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence sector and underscores Riskified's ongoing success in empowering businesses to boost ecommerce revenues and profit by mitigating risks through our innovative AI-powered platform.
  • Hosted Riskified’s Annual Merchant Summit, Ascend: Ascend 2024 gathered global enterprise merchants, leaders from payments and fraud advisories, and the Riskified team to discuss the latest strategies to unleash ecommerce growth. Themed “Ecommerce Champions,” Ascend 2024 set the stage for the debut of cutting-edge solutions as well as inspiring success stories from leading merchants in the ecommerce space.
  • Introduced Slate of New AI-powered Capabilities: At Ascend 2024, we introduced new tools designed to empower merchants to win more customers, accept more orders, and retain more revenue. Among the new innovations we unveiled was Policy Decisions. As part of Riskified's Decision Studio, a suite of tools that enables merchants to fine-tune their ecommerce performance, Policy Decisions is designed to give merchants the power to exercise deep control over their refund, return, promo and resale policies through self-service capabilities for the creation, simulation, and management of customer-facing policies.

“I am encouraged by our execution and financial discipline during the first six months of the year.

I look forward to driving the business towards our long-term targets,” said Aglika Dotcheva, Chief Financial Officer of Riskified.

Financial Outlook:

For the year ending December 31, 2024, we now expect:

  • Revenue between $320 million and $325 million

As a result of our disciplined approach to managing the business, for the year ending December 31, 2024, we now expect:

  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) between $13 million and $19 million

(1) GMV is a key performance indicator. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share, and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures of financial performance. See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(2) We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to net profit (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in net profit (loss) cannot be predicted on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort or are not within our control. For example, we are unable to forecast the magnitude of foreign currency transaction gains or losses which are subject to many economic and other factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results today, August 14, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. A live webcast of the call can be accessed from Riskified’s Investor Relations website at ir.riskified.com. A replay of the webcast will also be available for a limited time at ir.riskified.com. The press release with the financial results, as well as the investor presentation materials will be accessible on the Company’s Investor Relations website prior to the conference call.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain references to Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV"), which is a key performance indicator, and to certain non-GAAP measures which include non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses by line item, non-GAAP net profit (loss), and non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share, and non-GAAP measures of liquidity, including Free Cash Flow. Management and our Board of Directors use key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives, and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business. Free Cash Flow provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet.

These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Non-GAAP measures of financial performance have limitations as analytical tools in that these measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; these measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, and assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Free Cash Flow is limited because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

In light of these limitations, management uses these non-GAAP measures to supplement, not replace, our GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different calculation methods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. By providing these non-GAAP measures together with a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

We define GMV as the gross total dollar value of orders reviewed through our ecommerce risk intelligence platform during the period indicated, including the value of orders that we did not approve.

We define each of our non-GAAP measures of financial performance, as the respective GAAP balances shown in the below tables, adjusted for, as applicable, depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized internal-use software as presented in our statement of cash flows), share-based compensation expense, payroll taxes related to share-based compensation, litigation-related expenses, restructuring costs, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, other income (expense) including foreign currency transaction gains and losses and gains and losses on non-designated hedges, and interest income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue. Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin represents Non-GAAP Gross Profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share as non-GAAP net profit (loss) divided by non-GAAP weighted-average shares. We define non-GAAP weighted-average shares, as GAAP weighted average shares, adjusted to reflect any dilutive ordinary share equivalents resulting from non-GAAP net profit (loss), if applicable.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash purchases of property and equipment.

Management believes that by excluding certain items from the associated GAAP measure, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our performance and provide meaningful supplemental information due to the following factors:

Depreciation and amortization: We exclude depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized internal-use software) because we believe that these costs are not core to the performance of our business and the utilization of the underlying assets being depreciated and amortized can change without a corresponding impact on the operating performance of our business. Management believes that excluding depreciation and amortization facilitates comparability with other companies in our industry.

Share-based compensation expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense primarily because it is a non-cash expense that does not directly correlate to the current performance of our business. This is because the expense is calculated based on the grant date fair value of an award which may vary significantly from the current fair market value of the award based on factors outside of our control. Share-based compensation expense is principally aimed at aligning our employees’ interests with those of our shareholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period.

Payroll taxes related to share-based compensation: We exclude employer payroll tax expense related to share-based compensation in order to see the full effect that excluding that share-based compensation expense had on our operating results. These expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of our business.

Litigation-related expenses: We exclude costs associated with the legal matter previously disclosed under the caption "Legal Proceedings" in our Form 6-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 15, 2023, because such costs are not reflective of costs associated with our ongoing business and operating results and are viewed as unusual and infrequent.

Restructuring costs: We exclude costs associated with the reduction in force previously disclosed in our Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on February 13, 2024, because these costs are related to one-time severance and benefit payments and are not reflective of costs associated with our ongoing business and operating results and are viewed as unusual and infrequent.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, and free cash flow guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to net profit (loss), gross profit, and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, because certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP metrics but included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, cannot be predicted on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort or are not within our control. For example, we are unable to forecast the magnitude of foreign currency transaction gains or losses which are subject to many economic and other factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
