NEW YORK, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX) today reported financial results for the first quarter 2023. In addition, the Company provided outlook for the second quarter and updated outlook for the full year 2023. Please visit the Wix Investor Relations website at https://investors.wix.com/ to view the Q1'23 Shareholder Update and other materials.

"Wix was founded over 15 years ago to bring simplicity to people who wanted to use the internet and were held back by complex software and technology," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO. "Over the past decade, complexity has increased with more and more layers of software and business functionalities, and we have continued to provide our users with cutting edge technologies that simplified these challenges while dramatically growing our addressable market."

Abrahami continued, "With today's emerging generative AI technologies, we have a tremendous opportunity to reduce even more friction, further increasing the value of our platform and the size of our market. Our first version of AI website creation, Wix ADI, was launched seven years ago, and we have since been trailblazing with new AI technologies that have greatly benefited our users' experience. I personally manage our world class AI group, and for years we have been collaborating with teams across the globe, including OpenAI, Google X and IBM. "

"Furthermore, we have integrated AI into our internal workflows, significantly improving our development efficiency, delivery of services and creative processes. Given our many years of domain expertise in both building our own AI tools and integrating leading, third-party tools, we are at a significant industry advantage. I believe AI will continue to make our business bigger, better and stronger. As for anyone who bundles Wix with companies that will be negatively impacted by AI, I believe they will be wrong."

Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix, added, "We exceeded expectations on many fronts this quarter as we executed on our strategic priorities and intensified our commitment to driving operational efficiency across our business. Q1 revenue grew 10% y/y, comfortably above our guidance range, underpinned by strong fundamentals, robust Business Solutions adoption, increased transaction revenue, and strength in our Partners business. In addition, further savings actions increased non-GAAP gross margin to 67% with non-GAAP Creative Subscriptions gross margin increasing to 80% this quarter – both targets we had anticipated achieving later in the year. Combined with a more nimble marketing strategy and overall improvements across our organizational cost structure, we finished Q1 with a higher than expected FCF margin of 12%.  Encouraged by these strong results, we are raising our expectations for revenue growth and FCF for the year and remain more confident than ever in achieving the 'Rule of 40' in 2025."

1	Free cash flow excluding one-time cash restructuring charges and expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters

Partners revenue includes revenue from both the Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions businesses

Financial Outlook

Our outstanding Q1 results, which exceeded our expectations, demonstrates the success of our business model in a challenging macro environment and gives us confidence in the ability to achieve our profitability goals for the year ahead of our original plan. We also remain committed to achieving the "Rule of 40" in 2025, with expectations of significant cash flow margin expansion.

While we are seeing signs of a modest recovery in the macroeconomic conditions, we remain cautious going forward and continue to focus on ways to drive efficiencies in our business.

We expect Q2 revenue to be $380 - $385 million, or 10 - 12% growth y/y.

Due to our outperformance in Q1, we are increasing our full year outlook to $1,522 - $1,543 million or 10-11% y/y growth, an increase from our previous outlook of $1,510 - $1,535 million or 9 - 11% y/y growth.

Our efforts in improving gross margins and operating efficiencies across the organization have resulted in an inflection in profitability, which we believe we can continue to improve and sustain throughout 2023 and beyond. As a result, we are increasing our profitability expectations for the year.

We now anticipate non-GAAP gross margin of ~67% for the full year, up from our previous expectation of ~66% for the full year, driven by improvement in the profitability of our Creative Subscriptions business. We now anticipate Creative Subscriptions non-GAAP gross margin of ~81% for the full year, up from our previous expectation of ~80%. We continue to expect Business Solutions non-GAAP gross margin of ~27% in 2023.

Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to decrease to 58-59% of revenue for the full year, down from our previous expectation of 59-60% of revenue. This decrease is primarily driven by lower sales and marketing expenses than previously anticipated, as well as incremental operational efficiencies across the business. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses are now expected to be approximately 27% of revenue in 2023, down from our previous expectation of 27-28% of revenue.

We are increasing our outlook for free cash flow, excluding HQ costs, for the year to $172 - $180 million, or 11 - 12% of revenue, and we expect to exit 2023 with a free cash flow margin of more than 13%. This compares to our previous free cash flow outlook of $152 - $162 million, or 10 - 11% of revenue and an exit rate of 12-13%.

Note that this revised outlook excludes approximately $4.5 million in cash restructuring costs, of which approximately $2.1 million was incurred in Q1 with the remainder expected to be incurred in Q2.  Approximately half of this increase in expected free cash flow for the full year is anticipated to be driven by higher cost of revenue savings with the other half expected to be attributable to greater operating expense savings than previously anticipated.

Finally, stock-based compensation is expected to decrease to 14-15% of revenue in 2023, previously anticipated to be 15%, as headcount across the organization declines more meaningfully than previously anticipated. We expect stock-based compensation as a percentage of revenue to continue to decline y/y through 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, bookings on a constant currency basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenue expense, non-GAAP financial expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant currency or foreign exchange neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues and the change in unbilled contractual obligations for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Bookings include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by users as well as cash we collect from business solutions, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual agreements for which we may have not yet received payment. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and the majority of the additional products and services (other than Google Workspace) are recognized as revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognized as revenue as we fulfill our obligation under the terms of the contractual agreement. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income), amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude one-time cash restructuring charges and the capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Non-GAAP cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP financial expense represents financial expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for unrealized gains of equity investments, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and non-operating foreign exchange expenses. Non-GAAP tax expense represents tax expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for provisions for income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash flow, as adjusted, cumulative cohort bookings, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a key operating metric. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) all Creative Subscriptions in effect on the last day of the period, multiplied by the monthly revenue of such Creative Subscriptions, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month from domain registrations in effect on the last day of the period; and (iii) monthly revenue from other partnership agreements and enterprise partners.
