John (Analyst)'s questions to GoDaddy Inc (GDDY) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
John, on for Brent Thill, asked how the international response to Airo has differed from the U.S. and questioned if the 2026 normalized EBITDA margin target of 33% is now too conservative given recent outperformance.
Answer
CEO Aman Bhutani stated it was too early for detailed international feedback but they expect similar performance in major English-speaking markets. CFO Mark McCaffrey defended the 33% margin target, explaining that some recent benefits, like from restructuring, were front-loaded. He reaffirmed confidence in the 2026 target, driven by the key initiatives of A&C growth, infrastructure simplification, and global talent acquisition.
