The earnings call reveals mixed signals: flat GMV growth, revenue below expectations, but strong subscription growth and improved margins. The Q&A highlights concerns about Brazil's economic environment, but also optimism for US market opportunities. The market cap indicates a moderate reaction, likely resulting in a neutral stock price movement.
GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) $5.4 billion, flat year-over-year growth in US dollars, 11% increase in FX-neutral. The growth was impacted by softer same-store sales in Brazil and currency fluctuations.
Annual GMV $18.2 billion, representing 10% growth in US dollars and 16% in FX-neutral. The growth was affected by the same factors as quarterly GMV.
Revenue $61.5 million, growing 1% year-over-year in US dollars and 12% in FX-neutral. The revenue came below expectations due to weaker GMV from existing customers in Brazil.
Full Year Revenue $226.7 million, representing 13% growth in US dollars and 18% in FX-neutral. The growth was impacted by the same factors affecting quarterly revenue.
Subscription Revenue (Q4) $59.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 2% in US dollars and 13% in FX-neutral. This growth follows a strong previous year.
