"It has been an incredible past six months at Wix on many fronts as we generated accelerating profitable growth through execution excellence and focused operational discipline. As a result, Q2 again performed above expectations and exceeded our revenue growth and FCF margin guides. In addition to this outperformance, we also made remarkable strides in our product evolution with the introduction of our new cornerstone Partner product, Wix Studio," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO. "Wix Studio revolutionizes the way professionals build and manage projects at scale by combining AI-powered features, the latest design and development capabilities and seamless workflows for multi-site management to help freelancers and agencies complete projects with greater quality and velocity and scale their business faster. Our innovation did not stop there this quarter, as we continued to be at the forefront of AI technology with the introduction of exciting AI and gen-AI-driven products coming soon to all Wix users, including AI Site Generator and AI Assistant for Business, among others. With these incredible accomplishments and the momentum we've generated this year so far, I am very excited for what is still to come as we continue to build a place for any business, community or person to create their dreams online."

Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix, added, "Strong results in Q2 capped off an outstanding first half of 2023 as we delivered consecutive quarters of accelerating profitable growth. Underpinned by strong momentum in our Partners business, improved GPV growth, and encouraging performance of our new cohorts, we exceeded the top end of our guidance expectations with Q2 revenue increasing 13% y/y.

¹ Partners revenue is defined as revenue generated through agencies and freelancers that build sites or applications for other users as well as revenue generated through B2B partnerships, such as LegalZoom or Vistaprint, and  enterprise partners. We identify agencies and freelancers building sites or applications for others using multiple criteria including but not limited to the number of sites built, participation in the Wix Partner Program and/or the Wix Marketplace or Wix products used. Partners revenue includes revenue from both the Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions businesses

² Free cash flow excluding one-time cash restructuring charges and expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters

³ Transaction revenue is a portion of Business Solutions revenue, and we define transaction revenue as all revenue generated through transaction facilitation, primarily from Wix Payments as well as Wix POS, shipping solutions and multi-channel commerce and gift card solutions

Financial Outlook

Our outperformance in Q2 builds on the momentum we experienced in the first quarter and provides confidence in our ability to exceed our prior guidance for the year. We expect to accelerate top-line growth and margin expansion through the back half of the year on top of a very strong first half.

We remain committed to achieving the Rule of 40 in 2025, with expectations of continued revenue and free cash flow growth.

We expect Q3 revenue to be $386 - $391 million, or 12 - 13% growth y/y.

Due to the outperformance we experienced in the first half of 2023, we are increasing our full year revenue outlook to $1,543 - $1,558 million, or 11 - 12% y/y growth, an increase from our previous outlook of $1,522 - $1,543 million or 10 - 11% y/y growth. Strong execution on our strategy and continued momentum from our cohorts give us confidence that revenue growth will accelerate in H2 even when compared to an outstanding 1H that exceeded expectations. The mid-point of our guidance range implies acceleration of revenue growth in the second half of the year compared to the first half.

We expect this higher revenue growth outlook will drive increasing profitability throughout 2023 and beyond.

We now anticipate non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 68% for the full year, up from our previous expectation of approximately 67% for the full year 2023, driven by increased profitability across both Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions.

We now anticipate Creative Subscriptions non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 82% for the full year, up from our previous expectation of approximately 81%. We now anticipate Business Solutions non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 28% for the full year, up from our previous expectation of approximately 27%.

Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to decrease to 56-57% of revenue for the full year, down from our previous expectation of 58-59% of revenue. This decrease is primarily driven by lower marketing expenses than previously anticipated.

Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses are now expected to be approximately 25-26% of revenue in 2023, down from our previous expectation of approximately 27% of revenue.

As a result of accelerating revenue and incremental profitability improvements through the back half of the year, we are increasing our outlook for free cash flow, excluding HQ and cash restructuring costs, for the year to $200 - $210 million, or 13% of revenue, and we expect to exit 2023 with a free cash flow margin of approximately 15%. This compares to our previous free cash flow outlook of $172 - $180 million, or 11 - 12% of revenue and an exit rate of more than 13%. Our revised guidance for FCF implies acceleration of FCF margin in the second half of the year.

Note that our revised outlook excludes $4.5 million in cash restructuring costs.

Finally, stock-based compensation is expected to decrease to 14% of revenue in 2023, previously anticipated to be 14-15%. 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.
