NEW YORK, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ODDITY Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ: ODD) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“The beauty industry is transforming, and we believe ODDITY is leading this transformation,” said Oran Holtzman, ODDITY co-founder and CEO. “Our outstanding third quarter results demonstrate once again how our investments in the two most important vectors of industry growth – consumer demand for online and for high performance products – are driving outsized, profitable growth, market share gains, and powerful cash flows.”

“The strength and resilience of our direct-to-consumer model is on full display in this market backdrop, where some of our competitors are experiencing slowing sales, weaker foot traffic, and excess inventory conditions. In contrast, we are consistently delivering strong, profitable growth across brands, products, and categories in every environment,” Holtzman continued. “We have massive engagement with our users on a daily basis, directly, with no intermediaries. We have the data to predict which consumers are in the market to buy and which products they are likely seeking. That direct interaction drives high consumer satisfaction and enables us to have greater predictability in our business. Accordingly, we exceeded our revenue and EBITDA objectives again this quarter, just as we have done in the past six quarters since we took the company public, and I remain very bullish on our business.”

ODDITY achieved key objectives during the third quarter and the first nine months of the year:

• Exceeding financial guidance for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 across every metric and raising the full year 2024 outlook.
• High, profitable growth at both IL MAKIAGE and SpoiledChild brands across markets and products.
• Great progress in developing brands 3 and 4 to disrupt additional large beauty and wellness categories.
• Continued development and expansion of the ODDITY LABS molecule discovery platform.
• Delivering $96 million of net income and $135 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first nine months of 2024.
• Generating $119 million of free cash flow in the first nine months of 2024.
• A strong balance sheet position including $248 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments, with zero outstanding debt, as of September 30, 2024.
• Repurchasing 1 million shares for $37 million during the third quarter, with a total buyback of $47 million in the first nine months of 2024. $103 million remains on the $150 million buyback authorization.

“We are pleased with our financial results for the third quarter, which beat our guidance across revenue, gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted EPS,” said Lindsay Drucker Mann, ODDITY Global CFO. “Our excellent Q324 and year-to-date results, combined with a strong start to Q4 and our sustained high repeat rates allow us to once again raise our full year 2024 financial outlook across all metrics.”

Financial Outlook

ODDITY expects to deliver 2024 financials ahead of its long-term growth algorithm of 20%-plus revenue growth and 20%-plus adjusted EBITDA margin. ODDITY’s Q424 outlook reflects the delayed timing of investments in future growth initiatives, which were pushed out of Q3 and into Q4.

ODDITY is raising guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2024:

• Net revenue between $642 million and $644 million, representing year-over-year growth between 26% and 27%.
• Gross margin of approximately 71.5%.
• Adjusted EBITDA between $147 million and $149 million.
• Adjusted diluted EPS between $1.85 and $1.87. This assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 21.5% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 63 million.

ODDITY is providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2024:

• Net revenue between $118 million and $120 million, representing year-over-year growth between 22% and 24%.
• Gross margin of approximately 68.0%.
• Adjusted EBITDA between $12 million and $14 million.
• Adjusted diluted EPS between $0.11 and $0.13. This assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 30.0% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 64.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin, Adjusted diluted EPS and Free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the sections titled “Non GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” below for more information regarding ODDITY’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. ODDITY has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS outlook to the corresponding net income and diluted EPS GAAP measures, because the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. ODDITY is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable reconciling items, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

The financial outlook figures presented above are forward-looking statements that are subject to a variety of assumptions and estimates. Actual results may differ materially from ODDITY’s financial outlook as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, ODDITY has included the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin, Adjusted diluted EPS and Free cash flow. ODDITY believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors to help evaluate ODDITY’s business, measure its performance, identify trends, prepare financial projections and make business decisions.

ODDITY defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before financial expenses (income), net, taxes on income, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and non-recurring items. “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. ODDITY believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. By excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core operating results, ODDITY believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and interest income, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on their financing and capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.

ODDITY defines “Adjusted net income” as net income adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, non-recurring items and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and “Adjusted net income margin” as Adjusted net income divided by net revenue. In addition, ODDITY defines “Adjusted diluted earnings per share” as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares outstanding. ODDITY believes the presentations of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, ODDITY believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because they exclude the impact of items that are outside the control of management or not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance.

ODDITY defines “Free cash flow” as net cash provided by operating activities less purchase of property, plant and equipment.

ODDITY’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, its financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with the financial tables at the end of this release under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
