Fiverr Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

• Solid execution in 2025: 2025 was a year of disciplined execution, with revenue growing 10.1% year over year to $430.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin reaching 21.3%. We accelerated top-line growth compared to 2024 while maintaining strong profitability and cash generation. These results reflect the structural strength of our marketplace model and our continued financial discipline.
• Continued expansion into complex, high-value projects: Our marketplace continued to evolve toward high-value work. Spend per buyer increased 13.3% year over year, accelerating from the prior year, while GMV from transactions over $1,000 grew 22.8%. The number of buyers spending over $10,000 annually also accelerated 7%. These trends validate our upmarket strategy and demonstrate the growing adoption of Dynamic Matching and Managed Services, enabling us to capture larger, more complex projects.
• Transformation plan underway: Since our restructuring in September, we have initiated a focused transformation to scale trust, quality, and AI-native capabilities across the platform. Anchored around upgrades in matching infrastructure, product experience, go-to-market execution, and operational excellence, this multi-year plan is designed to extend our leadership in high-value work while maintaining a disciplined cost structure. We expect to see measurable progress within the next four to six quarters.
• Resetting expectations to invest for long-term growth: As we execute this transformation, we are aligning expectations around a disciplined investment phase. While near-term growth may be volatile due to market conditions and the scope of our initiatives, we are committed to protecting structural profitability and generating healthy cash flow. We believe these investments position Fiverr to accelerate growth and drive value creation in 2027 and beyond.

Financial Outlook

For Q1'26 and full-year 2026 guidance, the wider-than-normal revenue range reflects the elevated uncertainty on our business as the transformation plan underway focuses on high-value work, and intentionally deprioritizes incremental optimization of low-end transactions. This is coupled with the continued uncertainty around external market conditions. On Adjusted EBITDA, the updated guidance for this year reflects the revenue trends we see, as well as the impact from investments we’re making in foundational work. The core business unit economics remain structurally sound, and our ability to drive intrinsic leverage in the marketplace business model remains intact.

Leadership Transition

To support long-term growth and operational complexity, we are refining our executive leadership structure:

• President: Ofer Katz will continue to serve as President. By transitioning the CFO title, Ofer will now dedicate his time to driving strategic investments and leading M&A efforts.
• Chief Financial Officer: Esti Levy Dadon is being promoted to CFO, alongside overseeing multiple business and operational responsibilities. Esti has been with Fiverr for nearly a decade, serving as EVP Finance for the past four years.
• Chief Business Officer: Jinjin Qian is being promoted to the newly created CBO role, where she will oversee revenue, talent, fulfillment, and business operations. Jinjin has been leading IR and Strategy for the last seven years.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain key performance metrics and financial measures not based on GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow, as well as operating metrics, including marketplace Gross Merchandise Value or GMV, annual active buyers, annual spend per buyer and marketplace take rate. Some amounts in this release may not total due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

We define each of our non-GAAP measures of financial performance, as the respective GAAP balances shown in the above tables, adjusted for, as applicable, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, contingent consideration revaluation, acquisition related costs and other, income taxes, amortization of discount and issuance costs of convertible note, financial (income) expenses, net and other. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the measures, however, the revenue from the acquired companies is included, and their assets actively contribute to revenue generation. Non-GAAP gross profit margin represents non-GAAP gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by GAAP weighted-average number of ordinary shares basic and diluted. We use free cash flow as a liquidity measure and define it as a net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

We define GMV or marketplace Gross Merchandise Value as the total value of transactions ordered through our marketplace, excluding value-added tax, goods and services tax, service chargebacks and refunds. Annual active buyers on any given date is defined as buyers who have ordered a Gig on our marketplace within the last 12-month period, irrespective of cancellations. Annual spend per buyer on any given date is calculated by dividing our GMV within the last 12-month period by the number of annual active buyers as of such date. Marketplace take rate for a given period means marketplace revenue for such period divided by GMV for such period. When we refer in this release to the marketplace we refer to transactions conducted between buyers and freelancers on Fiverr.com. When we refer to the platform we refer to the marketplace and our additional services. We define Rule-of-30 as percentage of revenue growth plus Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Management and our board of directors use certain metrics as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these metrics for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and capital expenditures and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business. In addition, we believe that free cash flow, which we use as a liquidity measure, is useful in evaluating our business because free cash flow reflects the cash surplus available or used to fund the expansion of our business after the payment of capital expenditures relating to the necessary components of ongoing operations. Capital expenditures consist primarily of property and equipment purchases and capitalized software costs.

Free cash flow should not be used as an alternative to, or superior to, cash from operating activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as well as operating metrics, including GMV, annual active buyers, annual spend per buyer and marketplace take rate should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These metrics are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP metrics is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business.

These non-GAAP metrics should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP metrics used herein are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP metrics as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and other non-GAAP metrics used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

See the tables above regarding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss), the nearest comparable GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance for the first quarter of 2026, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, or the period ending December 31, 2027, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of share based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of intangible assets, income or loss on revaluation of contingent consideration, other acquisition-related costs, convertible notes amortization of discount and issuance costs and exchange rate income or loss, as applicable without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, GAAP measures in the future.
