Further Raises Guidance and Financial Outlook for FY 2022

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Riskified Ltd. (NYSE: RSKD) (the “Company”), a risk management platform enabling frictionless eCommerce, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will host an investor call to discuss these results today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

“Building off of momentum from a strong first half of the year, we saw an acceleration in our top line growth to achieve a very strong third quarter. Our year-over-year growth more than doubled our second quarter 2022 year-over-year growth and our tickets and travel vertical remained an active and growing part of the business,” said Eido Gal, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Riskified.

“As we head towards the end of the year, I am excited by our enhanced Go-to-Market positioning and the increased traction we are seeing with new and existing merchants. We recently went live with our largest new merchant of the year, and are building a solid pipeline of new merchants and future upsell opportunities within our existing merchant base.”

Q3 2022 Business Highlights

• Further Strengthened Leadership Position in Tickets & Travel Vertical: Riskified recently onboarded one of the world's largest secondary ticket marketplaces for live sports, concerts, theater, and events. We are reviewing nearly all of this merchant's eCommerce volume, which we believe further strengthens our positioning as a leader in the tickets and travel vertical.

• Execution of Upsell Strategy Results in Strong Quarter of Activity: During the third quarter of 2022, Riskified achieved strong year-over-year growth in upsell activity. We saw robust activity across varying merchant sizes, with particular momentum from our merchants with more than $3 billion in online sales volumes per year. Our upsell activity was distributed across merchants in our more mature cohorts as well as newer logos. This positive momentum, with the addition of new logos, more than offset declines in the organic growth of some of our existing merchants, which we primarily attribute to the tougher macro-economic environment.

• Meaningful Margin and Free Cash Flow Improvements Accelerate Path to Profitability: We saw a 33% year-over-year and sequential improvement in our Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter. This led to a meaningful decline of our free cash outflows during the quarter as we continue to build towards sustainable profitability.

• Further Increases to 2022 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance: We are increasing our full year revenue outlook as a result of our record first nine month performance. In addition, through a further reduction in our budgeted expense base, we are improving our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year of 2022 by approximately 18% from our previous upward guidance revision in August of 2022.

• Hosted Riskified’s Annual Merchant Summit: Attended by over 100 merchant contacts and prospects across all major verticals, this multiday event focused on new business pipeline generation, information sharing with industry experts and potential partnership opportunities.

Q3 2022 Financial Performance Highlights

The following table summarizes our consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in thousands except where indicated:

Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$	(9,182	)		$	(13,759	)		$	(36,254	)		$	(12,500	)

“Through focused expense discipline, we further flattened our expense base in the third quarter, achieving our strongest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA result of the year. Our long-term growth trajectory remains intact, and we believe that our efforts to optimize our cost structure should continue to have a meaningful impact on our bottom line,” said Aglika Dotcheva, Chief Financial Officer of Riskified.

“Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect our broad-based and diversified business to continue driving strong revenue generation. Combined with our thoughtful efforts to manage our operating expenses, we expect to continue on our accelerated path to profitability.”

Financial Outlook

Our record first nine month performance and an expected solid fourth quarter of new revenue gives us confidence to raise the full-year revenue outlook. As such, we are increasing our revenue guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022 as follows:

• Revenue between $257 million and $261 million, up from between $255 million and $258 million

In addition, during the prior quarter we initiated a plan to efficiently and thoughtfully reduce and optimize our operating expenses. We continued to successfully execute on this plan, and were successful in further reducing our expense base in the third quarter of 2022. We are diligently managing our expenses, while maintaining our long-term growth outlook. As a result, we are raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year ending December 31, 2022 as follows:

• Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ between negative $47 million and negative $44 million, an improvement from between negative $57 million and negative $54 million

This revision represents an improvement of approximately 18% from our August guidance. Overall, we have improved our Adjusted EBITDA guidance by 33% from our initial guidance range provided in February 2022.

⁽¹⁾ GMV is a key performance indicator and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Metrics” for additional information regarding this non-GAAP metric and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Metrics” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP metric to the most directly comparable GAAP metric.

⁽²⁾ We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 to net profit (loss) because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in net profit (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, cannot be predicted on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort or are not within our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the magnitude of share-based compensation expense and foreign currency transaction gains or losses as applicable without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, GAAP metrics in the future.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results today, November 9, 2022 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.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Metrics

This press release and the accompanying tables contain certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP metrics: GMV, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses by line item, Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP net profit (loss), and non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share. These non-GAAP metrics should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Adjusted EBITDA, 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 have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect certain cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized or cash payments for taxes. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using these non-GAAP metrics as supplemental measures of our performance. The non-GAAP metrics used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation. Non-GAAP financial metrics should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These metrics are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. By providing these non-GAAP metrics together with a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. 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 Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV") as the gross total dollar value of orders received by our merchants and reviewed through our eCommerce risk management platform during the period indicated, including orders that we did not approve.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net profit (loss) adjusted to remove the effects of the provision for income taxes, interest income, net, other income (expense), net, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to share-based compensation.

We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit adjusted to remove the effects of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to share-based compensation, if applicable. Non-GAAP gross profit margin represents Non-GAAP gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue.

We define non-GAAP cost of revenue as GAAP cost of revenue adjusted to remove the effects of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to share-based compensation, if applicable.

We define non-GAAP operating expenses by line item as GAAP operating expenses adjusted to remove the effects of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to share-based compensation, where applicable.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash payments for property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.

We define non-GAAP net profit (loss), which is used to compute non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share, as GAAP net profit (loss) adjusted to remove the effects of unique or non-recurring items such as remeasurement losses on our convertible preferred share warrant liabilities and convertible preferred share tranche rights, as well as non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to share-based compensation. 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, which is used to compute non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share, as GAAP weighted average shares used to compute net profit (loss) per share, adjusted to reflect the ordinary shares issued in connection with the IPO that are outstanding as of the end of the period as if they were outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented for comparability.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses by line item, Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP net profit (loss), and non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share are non-GAAP metrics that management and our board of directors use as a supplemental measure of our performance 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. Additionally, we provide Free Cash Flow because it is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that we believe 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. Free Cash Flow is limited, however, 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.

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

Correction of Immaterial Error

In preparing the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, we identified an immaterial error in our previously issued Q3 2021 earnings release relating to the recognition of share-based compensation expense.
