Insights
The reported increase in net revenue to $1.34 billion, which is a 12% year-over-year growth, signifies a strong performance for Yelp Inc., particularly as it surpasses the high end of their initial outlook. This growth trajectory is indicative of the company's successful product enhancements and market strategies. A net income surge of 173% to $99 million, with a net income margin of 7%, reflects efficient cost management and potentially improved operational leverage.
Furthermore, the 23% growth in Adjusted EBITDA to $330 million, which is above the provided outlook range, suggests robust underlying profitability. Adjusted EBITDA margin standing at 25% is a key metric for investors, as it excludes non-cash expenses and provides a clearer picture of operating performance. The projected net revenue for 2024, between $1.42 billion and $1.44 billion, along with Adjusted EBITDA estimates, indicates confidence in continued growth, although the anticipated Adjusted EBITDA shows a potential contraction, which may warrant a closer look into the expected cost structures and investment plans.
The $500 million increase in the share repurchase program demonstrates the board's confidence in the company's valuation and future prospects, which could be perceived positively by the market, often leading to an increase in share price due to the reduced share supply and improved earnings per share.
The growth in advertising revenue, particularly the 13% year-over-year increase to $1.28 billion, underscores Yelp's strong positioning in the local advertising market. The focus on high-intent audience engagement is evidently paying off, as seen by the 5% increase in ad clicks and the 9% increase in average cost per click (CPC), which suggests advertisers are willing to pay more for Yelp's ad inventory due to its effectiveness.
The emphasis on the Services category, with a 14% growth in advertising revenue to $793 million and the robust performance in the Home Services sector, is a strategic move. It capitalizes on the trend of increasing consumer spending on home improvement and professional services, a sector that has shown resilience even in uncertain economic times. Yelp's ability to drive quality leads to advertisers in this segment is a competitive advantage that can sustain revenue growth.
The company's investment in product development, such as AI-powered search and Yelp Guaranteed, is aimed at enhancing user engagement. This is crucial for maintaining a vibrant ecosystem where user contributions, such as the 22 million new reviews in 2023, keep the platform's content fresh and relevant.
The financial results of Yelp Inc. provide insights into broader economic trends, such as the health of small businesses and consumer spending patterns. The significant growth in net income and Adjusted EBITDA suggests that the local business economy, which Yelp heavily relies on, is robust and that Yelp has managed to capture a significant share of the local advertising market.
The company's financial performance, particularly in the Services sector, may also indicate a strong consumer demand for local services and a shift towards digital platforms for service discovery and hiring. Yelp's strategic focus on this area could be a response to long-term economic shifts towards service-oriented economies.
However, the flat overall traffic and decrease in app unique devices could signal market saturation or increased competition. Yelp's proactive approach to product development and user experience enhancements may be a strategic move to counteract these challenges and stimulate usage and growth.

“Yelp delivered one of our strongest financial performances ever in 2023,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “We grew net revenue to a new high and nearly tripled our net income year over year.

Our team has repeatedly shown that focusing on our product-led strategy can drive durable growth, and we remain confident in the significant opportunities ahead to drive shareholder value over the long term.”
“Investments in our long-term strategic initiatives have led to multiple records as local advertisers continued to see the value of Yelp’s high-intent audience in 2023,” said David Schwarzbach, Yelp’s chief financial officer. “Net revenue increased by
¹ Yelp has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP Net income (loss) because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP Net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of Other income, net and Provision for (benefit from) income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP Net income (loss). Because Yelp cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP Net income (loss).

- the impact of fears or actual outbreaks of disease and any resulting changes in consumer behavior, economic conditions or governmental actions;
- Yelp’s ability to maintain and expand its base of advertisers, particularly if advertiser turnover substantially worsens and/or consumer demand significantly degrades;
- Yelp’s ability to drive continued growth through its strategic initiatives;
- Yelp’s ability to continue to operate effectively with a primarily remote work force and attract and retain key talent;
- Yelp’s limited operating history in an evolving industry; and
- Yelp’s ability to generate and maintain sufficient high-quality content from its users.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences also include, but are not limited to, those factors that could affect Yelp’s business, operating results and stock price included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Yelp’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q at yelp-ir.com or the SEC’s website at sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and statements made during the above referenced webcast may include information relating to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free cash flow, each of which the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined as a "non-GAAP financial measure."
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: provision for (benefit from) income taxes; other income, net; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; and, in certain periods, certain other income and expense items, such as material litigation settlements, impairment charges and fees related to shareholder activism that we deem not to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. We define Free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property, equipment and software.
Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow, which are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Yelp’s financial results as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Yelp's working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to Yelp;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account any income or costs that management determines are not indicative of ongoing operating performance, such as material litigation settlements, impairment charges and fees related to shareholder activism;
- Free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes because it does not reflect our contractual commitments or obligations; and
- other companies, including those in Yelp’s industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free cash flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and Yelp’s other GAAP results.
The following is a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the calculation of net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages; unaudited):
