Fiverr Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results
Delivered both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA above guidance range: We continue to execute with focus and efficiency, delivering exceptional results amid a challenging macro environment. Our strategy to lean into value-added services to drive take rate expansion continues to pay off, and we continue to invest in going upmarket to unlock long-term growth opportunities.
Growing a high-quality buyer base: We continue to grow wallet share among our customers, with spend per buyer up 9% y/y in Q3'24. The recently rolled out Business Rewards Program on Fiverr Pro is showing promising signs to drive spending growth among larger customers, leading to more buyers spending over $10K on Fiverr annually.
Creating end-to-end experience to enable complex projects: We launched Dynamic Matching, an AI-powered tool to provide a seamless matching experience for buyers with complex job requirements. Together with Professions Catalog and Hourly-Based Contracts, we are enabling an end-to-end experience for businesses to search, find, and engage with talent for complex projects and longer duration.
Raising full-year guidance: The strong performance in Q3 gave us confidence to raise our full-year guidance range for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. This also translates into strong cash flow generation and puts us well on track to deliver the three-year targets on Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow that we laid out last quarter.
