Insights

The Q3 results demonstrate significant operational improvements with several positive indicators. $195.4M in revenue represents 6% YoY growth, while Enterprise segment revenue grew impressively at 16% YoY to $126.1M. The standout achievement is reaching $504.6M in Enterprise ARR, marking a important milestone.

Key positives include expanding gross margins by 500 basis points to 63% and achieving non-GAAP profitability with $10.1M in net income. Adjusted EBITDA grew 41% to $11.6M, showing strong operational leverage. However, consumer segment decline of 8% and lower net dollar retention rates (99% vs 106%) warrant attention.

The $358.3M cash position and ongoing share buyback program ($51M spent in Q3) demonstrate financial strength and shareholder-friendly capital allocation.

The enterprise learning sector shows robust demand, evidenced by notable client wins across diverse regions and industries. The expansion with major corporations like Marriott, Ericsson and Saudi Aramco indicates strong market penetration in key verticals. The strategic focus on AI capabilities through the Intelligent Skills Platform positions Udemy competitively in the evolving EdTech landscape.

The Mexico City hub expansion demonstrates commitment to geographic growth, particularly in emerging markets. However, the declining consumer segment and reduced retention rates suggest market saturation and increased competition in the B2C space. The Workday integration enhances enterprise appeal, potentially driving future growth in the higher-margin B2B segment.

Delivered stronger-than-expected profitability driven by disciplined approach to operational efficiency

Surpassed $500 million in Udemy Business Annual Recurring Revenue

“Udemy delivered solid third quarter results with revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin above the high end of our guidance ranges, and we achieved a new milestone of over $500 million in Udemy Business Annual Recurring Revenue,” said Greg Brown, Udemy’s President and CEO. “Our disciplined approach to driving operational efficiencies throughout the business, coupled with the recently announced strategic cost-saving actions, have generated significant growth in adjusted EBITDA this year. As a result, we are raising our full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA outlook.”

“Longer-term, we remain focused on execution of our strategic initiatives, further optimizing our cost structure, and directing resources toward opportunities with the highest potential return. We believe these actions position Udemy to deliver high-quality, profitable growth and to lead the enterprise skills development category well into the future,” concluded Brown.

Financial Outlook
Udemy provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. Actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the comments below regarding forward-looking statements.

The following table reflects Udemy’s financial outlook for its fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2024.

  Three months ending
December 31, 2024
 Year ending
December 31, 2024
Revenue $193 to $196 million $780 to $783 million
Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 Approximately 6.0% Approximately 4.5%
Weighted Average Share Count, Basic2 148 million 151 million
Weighted Average Share Count, Diluted2 149 million 156 million
 
1. Udemy has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) within this earnings release because the company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence.
2. Udemy’s outlook for weighted average share count, basic and diluted, excludes any impact from potential future repurchase activities under our share repurchase program.
 

The revenue guidance range above assumes historical changes in FX rates will have a negative 2 percentage point impact on fourth quarter year-over-year revenue growth and a negative 2 point impact on full year 2024 revenue growth. Udemy's revenue guidance assumes FX rates will remain unchanged from the end of the third quarter of 2024.

Webcast Information
Udemy will host a conference call and webcast at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET today, Tuesday, October 29, to discuss its third quarter 2024 financial results and outlook. A link to the live webcast and recorded replay of the conference call will be available on the “Quarterly Results” section of Udemy’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.udemy.com/. The live call may also be accessed via telephone at (833) 630-1963 domestically and (412) 317-5702 internationally. The archived replay of the webcast will be available for approximately one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined below. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results because our management team and board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures for the purposes of assessing operating results and business planning. These non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business by removing the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude i) interest income; ii) interest expense; iii) provision for income taxes; iv) depreciation and amortization; v) other expense, net, including gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency; vi) stock-based compensation expense; and vii) restructuring charges. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the same period. We have not reconciled our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net loss and net loss margin, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, because certain items are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted and a reconciliation for the guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) Per Share, Basic and Diluted

We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring charges.

We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares used to compute net loss per share, basic. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares used to compute net loss per share, diluted, which adjusts for the potentially dilutive effects of our employee equity incentive plans.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin

We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. We calculate non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue for the same period.

Udemy’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein in conjunction with Udemy’s financial statements and the related notes thereto. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Key Business Metrics

Udemy Business customers

We count the total number of Udemy Business (“UB”) customers at the end of each period. To do so, we generally count unique customers using the concept of a domestic ultimate parent, defined as the highest business in the family tree that is in the same country as the contracted entity. In some cases, we deviate from this methodology, defining the contracted entity as a unique customer despite the existence of a domestic ultimate parent. This often occurs where the domestic ultimate parent is a financial owner, government entity, conglomerate, or acquisition target where we have contracted directly with the subsidiary. We define a UB customer as a customer who purchases Udemy via our direct sales force, reseller partnerships or through our self-service platform.

Udemy Business Annual Recurring Revenue

We disclose our UB ARR as a measure of our Enterprise revenue growth. ARR represents the annualized value of our UB customer contracts on the last day of a given period. Only revenue from closed UB contracts with active seats as of the last day of the period are included.

Udemy Business Net Dollar Retention Rate and Udemy Business Large Customer Net Dollar Retention Rate

We disclose UB Net Dollar Retention Rate, or UB NDRR, as a measure of revenue growth for all UB customers within our Enterprise segment, including UB Large Customers, which we define as companies with at least 1,000 employees. We calculate UB NDRR as the total ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by the total ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of all UB customers active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. We calculate UB Large Customer NDRR as the total UB Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period divided by the total Large Customer ARR at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period for the cohort of UB customers with at least 1,000 employees active at the beginning of the trailing twelve-month period. Total ARR and Large Customer ARR at the end of a trailing twelve-month period are calculated as ARR and Large Customer ARR, respectively, at the beginning of a trailing twelve-month period that are then adjusted for upsells, downsells, and churns for the same cohort of customers during that period. Large Customer ARR represents the annualized value of contracts for UB customers with active seats and having at least 1,000 employees on the last day of a given period.

Monthly average buyers

A buyer is a consumer who purchases a course or subscription through our direct-to-consumer offering. We first determine the number of monthly buyers by taking the total buyers of single courses during a given month plus the total active, paid consumer subscribers at any point in that month, adjusting for duplicate buyers that may be present in both totals. We then calculate monthly average buyers by taking an average of the monthly buyer totals over a particular period, such as a fiscal year. Our monthly average buyer count is not intended as a measure of active engagement, as not all buyers are active at any given time or over any given period.

Segment revenue and segment gross profit

Segment revenue represents the revenue recognized from our two segments, Enterprise (or Udemy Business), and Consumer. Segment gross profit is defined as segment revenue less segment cost of revenue, which include content costs, hosting and platform costs, customer support services, and payment processing fees that are allocable to each segment. Segment gross profit excludes amortization of capitalized software, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, and stock-based compensation allocated to cost of revenue as our chief operating decision maker does not include the information in his measurement of the performance of the operating segments.
