NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the company that is changing how the world works together, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Complete operating results and management commentary can be found in the Company’s shareholder letter which is posted to its investor relations website at investors.fiverr.com.
“We have built a great team and freelance marketplace over the past decade. In fact, Fiverr today is three times larger than the company we took public only three years ago,“ said Micha Kaufman, founder and CEO of Fiverr. “Growth has and will always be our priority. However, with market conditions worse than anticipated, when growth becomes expensive, instead of growing at any cost, we decided to prioritize EBITDA and free cash flow, and accelerate the pace towards our long-term target model. We believe this puts us in a stronger financial position to double down on growth investments when market conditions improve.”
Ofer Katz, Fiverr’s President and CFO, added, “We delivered better adjusted EBITDA than guided during the quarter. Post the quarter, we took additional steps to streamline our cost structure as we increased our focus on profitability. The strong Adjusted EBITDA margin execution together with July’s realignment of resources and the recalibration of our investments demonstrates our commitment to progressing towards our long term target model.”
