NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX), the leading SaaS website builder platform globally,³ today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2023. In addition, the Company provided its outlook for the fourth quarter and raised its outlook for full year 2023. Please visit the Wix Investor Relations website at https://investors.wix.com/ to view the Q3'23 Shareholder Update and other materials.

"Wix's performance in the third quarter exceeded both growth and profitability expectations for another consecutive quarter, as we successfully executed on our strategic priorities while remaining diligent with managing expenses," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO. "The strength in our Partners business is especially noteworthy with our team firing on all cylinders and revenue growth continuing to accelerate. We expect an extended growth period ahead for this business as we increase our penetration of the professionals market with higher monetization, particularly as Wix Studio continues to gain traction. Though early, we have seen a fantastic response to Wix Studio and excellent adoption thus far. Finally, we continue to make tremendous progress leveraging AI to create a frictionless experience for users with the recent launch of Conversational AI Chat Experience for Business, the first step in completely automating business management with AI to get businesses online more quickly and efficiently. This is just the first milestone launch in a string of very exciting AI product releases we have on the horizon."

"Since the events in Israel on October 7th, much of the team at Wix has had to adapt to a new reality. We have harnessed our global footprint and technological strength to support our people as well as our broader community, both here in Israel and abroad through a number of high-impact initiatives. The unified strength of our diverse global team has been a bright light during these times, enabling us to prevent disruption to operations and continue to execute on our growth initiatives," said Nir Zohar, President & COO at Wix.

Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix, added, "We carried forward our positive momentum into the back half of the year with another quarter of results that exceeded expectations, positioning us well to achieve positive GAAP net income in full year 2023 with GAAP profitability achievable in 2024. This milestone accelerates Wix's profitability ahead of our three-year plan and is driven by robust growth as well as continued benefits from the strong execution of our past efficiency initiatives. Revenue in the third quarter increased 14% y/y, driven by the third consecutive quarter of accelerating Partners revenue growth which was 38% y/y, strong GPV growth and strong performance in our new cohorts of users. FCF margin came in higher than expected at 16% of revenue, which we anticipate to increase to 20-21% in Q4. This exit rate puts us in striking distance of our minimum 25% FCF margin target anticipated for 2025. As a result of continued strong execution, we are raising our revenue and FCF expectations for the full year to finish above the expectations of our refreshed three-year plan."

Financial Outlook

Our exceptional outperformance in the first three quarters of the year highlights the strong fundamentals of our business and the continued momentum of our growth and profitability initiatives. As a result, we expect to finish 2023 ahead of our refreshed three-year plan presented at the Analyst & Investor Day in August while accelerating our path to achieving the Rule of 40 in 2025.

We expect Q4 revenue to be $400 - $405 million, or 13 - 14% growth y/y.

Due to the outperformance we experienced in the first three quarters of 2023, we are increasing our full year revenue outlook to $1,558 - $1,563 million, or 12 - 13% y/y growth, an increase from our previous outlook of $1,543 - $1,558 million, or 11 - 12% y/y growth.

This increased revenue growth outlook is expected to result in accelerating profitability as we exit 2023.

We continue to anticipate non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 68% for the full year, driven by strong performance across both Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions. We also continue to anticipate Creative Subscriptions non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 82% for the full year and Business Solutions non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 28% for the full year.

Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to decrease to 53-54% of revenue for the full year, down from our previous expectation of 56-57% of revenue. This decrease is primarily driven by greater efficiency on sales and marketing expenses than we had anticipated as well as other incremental operational efficiencies. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses are now expected to be approximately 23-24% of revenue in 2023, down from our previous expectation of approximately 25-26% of revenue.

Impressively, following a second consecutive quarter of positive GAAP net income in Q3, we now expect to deliver positive GAAP net income for the full year 2023 with profitability also achievable for full year 2024, a goal previously set for 2025 per our three-year plan.

Due to stronger than expected revenue growth and continued benefits from completed operational efficiencies, we are increasing our outlook for free cash flow, excluding HQ and cash restructuring costs, for the full year to $235 - $240 million, or approximately 15% of revenue, and we expect to exit 2023 with a free cash flow margin of 20-21% in Q4, putting us in striking distance of our minimum 25% FCF margin anticipated for 2025. This compares to our previous free cash flow outlook of $200 - $210 million, or approximately 13% of revenue and an exit rate of approximately 15%.

Note that our revised FCF outlook excludes approximately $4.5 million in cash restructuring costs, of which approximately $2.1 million was incurred in Q1, with the remainder being incurred in Q2. 

Finally, we continue to expect stock-based compensation to be 14% of revenue in full year 2023, as we manage headcount according to our annual plan. 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, free cash flow per share, 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. Free cash flow per share represents free cash flow, as adjusted, divided by total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. 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.
