David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Thanks, Kevin. Good morning, thank you for joining us today. We delivered first quarter GMV and revenue at the midpoint of guidance and EBITDA margins at the high end of guidance while continuing to make progress against our long-term objectives. Headwinds in the luxury home goods market, exacerbated by comping against a record GMV quarter, resulted in a disappointing first quarter growth rate. We are working to re-accelerate growth, we believe it will likely take some time before we see significant improvements.

Despite these headwinds, supply growth and traffic growth continued, we made progress on our strategic initiatives. Over the past few quarters, we've taken actions to reduce our expenses and improve our efficiency. Our work here isn't finished. Because our growth outlook today is below what we anticipated at the start of the year, we are evaluating additional steps to align our expenses with current demand.

We're managing through this challenging period to emerge with more growth vectors and improved cost structure and a stronger competitive position. Digging into the quarter, continued conversion headwinds and lower AOV drove GMV declines. Although luxury home goods demand was subdued, marketplace supply remains robust with record seller acquisition, double-digit listings growth, and near record low churn.

Our annual seller survey indicates that 1stDibs is the top sales channel for our sellers after their showrooms. Additionally, we're seeing a larger GMV contribution from our influx of essential sellers in 2022, modestly boosting take rates. We're also pleased with continued traffic growth. Our organic traffic mix increased to nearly 75% of total, up several percentage points due to continued SEO strength and pulling back on performance marketing.

This is encouraging because more supply and more organic traffic are barometers of marketplace health. We are also pleased to see jewelry continue to perform well, with double-digit order growth, highlighting the benefits of operating across multiple verticals. Though not yet large enough to offset macro softness, our strategic initiatives continue gaining traction.

In the first quarter, we saw a record number of auction orders and record GMV from our French and German marketplaces. Given our strong international supply position, scalable tech platform, and encouraging international results to date, we plan to enter Italy and Spain later in 2023.

Moving to operations, our goal is to stabilize and then re-accelerate GMV growth. Improving conversion, particularly for new buyers, is our largest lever and top priority. To accomplish this, we are focused on four distinct tracks: pricing, personalization, narrowing the conversion gap between U.S. and European customers, and increasing app usage.

Of these, we see the largest opportunity in pricing. Unlike an automobile or a smartphone, there is not always a clear market price for rare and unique items. Indeed, our user research suggests that the primary obstacles for new buyers to convert are their perception of price and a lack of pricing context. For example, is paying $3,700 for a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra ring a good deal or not? Furthermore, in this market, buyer sensitivity to price is elevated.

Our strategy is to leverage our decade plus of proprietary transactional data to provide buyers and sellers more pricing transparency and advice. We are doing this in three ways. First, by giving buyers richer pricing insights. Second, by offering sellers more guidance on competitive pricing strategies. Lastly, by boosting the visibility of listings representing compelling value.

For buyers, we launched new discovery experiences called Shops. Shops are dynamically generated pages that algorithmically aggregate our most performance supply. Historically, listings and collections have seen higher engagement and sell-through versus non-collection items. While it's early, we are seeing positive results.

For example, in December, we introduced the Design Value Shop, which highlights well-priced items. This collection generated over $3 million of GMV in March, despite representing less than 2% of overall listings. Data points like this increase our confidence in our pricing hypothesis. Shops reward sellers who price their items competitively and regularly add items to the marketplace.

These behaviors drive seller success and we'll continue to encourage them. They also make it easier for buyers to discover great products. In addition to Design Values, we launched most saved items in February and new arrivals in April, with more planned in the coming months.

We also introduced several pricing-related features for sellers. For example, we added pricing guidance to item upload in early March. This leverages historical sales data to provide pricing recommendation when sellers create a new listing. Throughout 2023, we'll increase coverage and proactively share insights with sellers.

Pricing guidance has been incorporated into auctions listings. While it's still early, we are also exploring a number of different AI applications that could help to increase conversion and drive savings. These areas include pricing guidance, search and browse personalization, SEO content creation, and reducing manual workloads.

We are also making progress on our strategic initiatives. Localized marketplaces in France and Germany posted strong traffic growth, translating into record GMV. Sessions from German and French IP addresses grew over 300%. SEO traffic continued growing over 220% in both markets.

Orders from German and French IPs grew 20% year-over-year, while orders on our localized marketplace grew over 10% sequentially. To foster the growth of our international business, our product team continues working on features to drive supply and demand. In the second quarter, we will roll out localized seller tools in Italian.

A pilot of the program is already underway. Our objective is to accelerate the growth of highly sought after Italian supply. Based on the encouraging results of our French and German sites, we plan to launch localized marketplaces in Italian and Spanish by the end of the third quarter. Relative to our initial launches, these markets will be faster and cheaper as we apply our learnings and leverage upfront infrastructure work from 2022. For example, it took about seven months to launch French and German sites.

We expect that it will take about three months for Italian and Spanish, despite having a smaller team. We're also anticipating meaningfully lower translation costs compared to France and Germany due to more efficient machine translation models and renegotiated rates. Auctions continues to deliver on our priorities of buyer activation, order growth, and higher sell-through. Orders hit a record in the quarter, growing approximately 10% sequentially and accounting for over 6% of the total.

During the quarter, our product development efforts focused on demand generation and refining item-level pricing recommendations. We expect these to help drive page views and bids. On the supply side, our strategy is evolving to focus on a narrower set of the most performance supply, like specific categories of art and jewelry. Additionally, in January, we also ran our first no reserve auction, which had the highest sell-through of any of our monthly curations.

Turning to supply, seller and listings growth remained robust. We ended the quarter with over 8,100 seller accounts, up nearly 50%, while seller churn remains near record lows. Listings grew 20% to over 1.6 million items. While demand remains soft, we believe our supply growth signals growing relevance to our end markets. Indeed, our recent seller survey indicated that 1stDibs is the top sales channel for our sellers after their showrooms.

For legacy sellers, defined here as those joining the marketplace before 2022, 1stDibs is typically the primary sales channel. Our goal is to aggregate the world's most beautiful items, regardless of where they're located, while maintaining our high curatorial standards. Because we're a marketplace of one-of-a-kind items, breadth and selection matters. Growing supply improves marketplace liquidity, drives traffic, and deepens search results, creating new opportunities to transact.

In 2022, we introduced our Essential Seller Program, a subscription-free tier with higher commissions, spurring a strong year of seller acquisition and helping to reduce churn. In 2023, we are focused on making this influx of new sellers successful, in part by growing listing volumes and launching new data-driven seller tools like pricing recommendations. To this end, in early March, we launched the next evolution of this program, introducing minimum inventory posting requirements for new essential sellers.

We know that sellers who post more, sell more. Our goal with inventory minimums is to encourage engagement and drive sales. Before I conclude, I'd like to take a minute to welcome Ryan Beauchamp, our new Chief Product Officer. Ryan joined 1stDibs in March following a decade at Google, where he most recently led the product management organization for Google Ads core experiences. Prior to that, Ryan oversaw business development and strategy for Google Shopping, and before that, launched Groupon Goods. He brings a strong understanding of online business models and monetization strategies.

We enter 2023 facing headwinds from subdued demand for luxury home goods, but continued gains in traffic, seller acquisition, and supply growth, as well as performance in out-of-home categories like jewelry, give us confidence that we remain as important as ever to our buyers and sellers. Our goal remains to be leaner and have more growth drivers when demand recovers. I will now turn it over to Tom to review our first quarter financial results and second quarter outlook.

Tuomas Etergino (CFO)

Thanks, David. We delivered first quarter GMV and revenue at the midpoint of guidance and adjusted EBITDA margins at the high end of guidance. GMV was $97.1 million, down 17% due to the soft demand for luxury home goods. As a reminder, we're lapping record high GMV from a year ago. Conversion remained a headwind, particularly for new buyers, more than offsetting continued traffic growth. In addition, the mix shift to orders under $1,000 that we saw in the fourth quarter continued.

These orders accounted for 46% of total orders in the first quarter, up from 42% a year ago. This trend is partially explained by auctions, which has a lower AOV, but it holds true even when excluding auctions. We believe this reflects a more cautious consumer amid macroeconomic uncertainty and some trading down.

Consumer and trade GMV declined at similar rates, a departure from the past seven quarters where trade outperformed. As the luxury housing market has remained volatile, we've observed that trade projects are taking longer to complete and that end buyers are becoming more price sensitive. We've also seen instances of clients opting to spread out spending by planning for multiple smaller installations as opposed to one larger project.

Once again, jewelry showed the best relative performance. Jewelry orders grew 12% year-over-year. In contrast, demand for at-home categories like art, vintage and antique furniture, and new and custom furniture, which account for the bulk of our GMV, remained soft. We ended the quarter with approximately 66,400 active buyers, down 7%. We expect this metric will remain choppy near term as we manage through a period of soft luxury home good demand.

On the supply side of the marketplace, we closed the quarter with over 8,100 seller accounts, up nearly 50%. There are now over 1.6 million listings on the marketplace, up 20%. While continued supply growth sets us up for long-term success, the near-term demand outlook for durables and luxury home goods is challenging.

Accordingly, we remain focused on driving efficiency and improving productivity. While operating expenses were down 2% and headcount was down 16%, our work here isn't finished. Demand isn't evolving the way we expected at the beginning of the year, we're evaluating further cost reductions. Turning to the P&L, net revenue was $22.2 million, down 17%. On a pro forma basis, net revenue was down approximately 14% when adjusted for the sale of Design Manager in June 2022.

Transaction revenue, which is tied directly to GMV, was approximately 70% of revenue, with subscriptions making up most of the remainder. Take rates improved modestly, due in part to growing GMV contribution from our essential sellers, which carry a higher commission rate. Gross profit was $14.9 million, down 21%.

Gross profit margins were 67%, down from 71% a year ago. Gross margins were negatively impacted by approximately a half a million dollars in amortization expense due to the acceleration of internal use software amortization related to our NFT platform, which we discontinued supporting in the quarter. Excluding this one-time charge, gross margins would have been approximately 69%. Sales and marketing expenses were $9.8 million, down 17%, driven primarily by lower performance marketing spend.

Consistent with the recent quarters, we pulled back on performance marketing and increased our efficiency thresholds to better align expenses with demand. Sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue was 44%, flat versus a year-ago. Technology development expenses were $5.8 million, up 1% due to increased stock-based compensation, partially offset by lower translation costs and lower salaries and benefits.

As a percentage of revenue, technology development was 26%, up from 22%. General administrative expenses were $8.1 million, up 26%, primarily driven by increases in legal and professional service fees related to our strategic alternative expenses and stock-based compensation. Excluding the approximately $900,000 in strategic alternative expenses, general administrative expenses were up approximately 12% year-over-year. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 37%, up from 24%.

Lastly, provision for transaction losses were $1.4 million, 6% of revenue flat year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.3 million compared to a loss of $4.7 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was a loss of 24% versus a loss of 18% last year. This year-over-year change was driven primarily by negative operating leverage from lower revenue.

Moving on to the balance sheet. We entered the quarter with a strong cash equivalents, and short-term investments position of $150.5 million. Additionally, interest income increased to approximately $1.5 million, up from roughly $50,000 a year ago. Turning to the outlook. Our guidance reflects our quarter to date results and our forecast for the remainder of the period.

We forecast second quarter GMV of $85 million-$92 million, down 19%-12%. Net revenue of $20.1 million-$21.3 million, down 18%-13%. Adjusted EBITDA margin loss of 34%-28%, primarily driven by lower revenue resulting in negative operating leverage. Our GMV guidance reflects a number of converging factors, including shifting consumer behavior, ongoing economic uncertainty, continued conversion headwinds, and lower average order values.

Turning to adjusted EBITDA margins. Guidance reflects the fact that lower revenue is driving the substantial majority of the sequential decrease in EBITDA margins and a full quarter of annual merit increases. To close, we're in a period with limited visibility. While comps ease moving throughout the year, the macroeconomic environment remains difficult to handicap.

Given recent softer than anticipated demand, we will continue realigning our expenses. When demand rebounds, our goal is to have more growth drivers, an improved cost structure, and a stronger competitive position. Thank you for your time. I'll now turn the call over to the operator to take your questions.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Mark Mahaney with Evercore ISI. Your line is open.

Mark Mahaney (Senior Managing Director and Head of Internet Research)

Okay, thanks. Two questions. If I just look at the numbers that you're guiding to for the June quarter, maybe at the optimistic end of the range, it implies that the year-over-year trends are the same or maybe even a little bit better. Is there anything that you've seen quarter to date that suggests that the sort of you know, stabilization or an improvement in end market demand?

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Hey, Mark, it's David. Yeah. I mean, listen, I think overall, we're continuing to see both quarter to date and also, in the first quarter, essentially a continuation of the same kind of underlying drivers that we had seen before, right? Positive and negative.

On the positive side, traffic's strong. Our supply position is great. Retention is as good as it's ever been. Sub fees actually for the first quarter, in the first quarter, were flat sequentially for the first time in 3 quarters. Our strategic initiatives continue to make progress, both auctions and international. On the downside, we saw a further deceleration of AOV. That hasn't changed.

Similarly, the conversion rate, while improving, while sort of, you know, improving in the sense that it's not declining as fast and that rate of deceleration has improved, it is still meaningfully negative and the biggest drag on performance. Overall, I'd say not a fundamental change in any direction.

Mark Mahaney (Senior Managing Director and Head of Internet Research)

The second question is, can you tell to what extent this is what you're looking at, these demand trends, these are probably very representative of what's happening in the market. Is there any particular reason to think that you're, you know, versus the category that you're underperforming or outperforming?

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

No, not at all. I mean, that is actually how Based on the data that we've seen, that's our assessment as well, both in terms of our comps and also just commonsensically. You know, so much of our business, not all of it, but so much of it is driven by luxury real estate, and that's obviously under pressure. You know, the meaningful component of our business that's not really driven by luxury real estate, jewelry, is performing pretty well.

I mean, you know, orders were up in the first quarter by double digits. Again, that's only the minority of our business today. The majority is still driven by the macros, and those macros are producing an impact for us that we think is consistent with the market as a whole.

Mark Mahaney (Senior Managing Director and Head of Internet Research)

Okay. Thank you very much, David.

Operator (participant)

One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Trevor Young with Barclays. Your line is open.

Trevor Young (Director and Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thanks. First one, just results on the quarter. You know, the prior few quarters you'd come in at or above the high end of GMV guide, this quarter coming in right down the fairway, even given that guide was given more or less two-thirds of the way through the quarter. Can you just talk a little bit about the cadence throughout the quarter, month-on-month?

Did things kind of deteriorate in March around some of the banking turmoil, and has that persisted into April? Second one for Tom, just on the gross margin, appreciate the commentary around that amortization charge. Just to clarify, that's a one-time charge, is that, you know, 69% or 70% range a reasonable bogey going forward?

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Yeah, this is David. I mean, we didn't see, you know, relative to the overall performance of the quarter, I mean, there's always variability month-to-month. We didn't see anything that was, you know, I'd say material within the quarter. In terms of the impact of the, of the banking, you know, situation, I mean, look, it wasn't positive, you know? It's very hard to quantify the exact impact. I guess I would just leave it at that. I don't know that we can kind of fairly attribute any change in performance to that specifically. Tom?

Tuomas Etergino (CFO)

On the gross margin side, yeah, you're correct. The, you know, the discontinue of the NFT platform and the where we recognized about half a million dollars in accelerated internal use software did have a 2% impact on gross margins for the quarter. Yes, I think you can expect that we'll revert back to more normalized historic trends in gross margins going forward. It is a one-time item.

Trevor Young (Director and Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thanks. Just one quick follow-up on the strategic alternative cost realized in the quarter. Should we interpret that to mean that the strategic review with Allen & Co. is largely completed at this point?

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

The, you know, we really can't. I can't offer any commentary on that. I mean, it's active and underway. But, you know, beyond saying that we're committed to evaluating every possible alternative, both in terms of buy side M&A, sell side M&A, and, you know, working on our balance sheet, to improve the shareholder value of the company, there isn't much I can say.

Trevor Young (Director and Equity Research Analyst)

Okay. Thanks, David. Thanks, Tom.

Operator (participant)

One moment. We have a question from Nick Jones with JMP Securities. Your line is open.

Nicholas Jones (Managing Director and Internet Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thanks for taking the questions. Two if I can. The first one on AOV, I think if I have this right, it did kind of accelerate the declines year-over-year, but sequentially it actually increased. Does that indicate maybe these are the right levels for AOV from here as we think about the rest of the year in 2Q?

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Hey, yeah. I mean, AOV in the first quarter was down 8% year-over-year, which was an acceleration versus Q4. Q4 was down 6%. You know, what we're seeing is a decline in AOV across all price tiers, which does suggest that it's primarily a macro phenomenon. You know, in addition to that, the growing share of auctions.

Auctions is about 6% of orders in Q1 and grew on an order basis sequentially, roughly a little bit more than 10%. That does contribute to it. Auctions are a value, is a value format and has a lower AOV than the rest of the marketplace. I think primarily it, you know, as I said, it is, it is a market phenomenon.

Nicholas Jones (Managing Director and Internet Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thanks. Then I guess, as you continue to add supply and listings, but demand remains strained, is there any evidence that you're potentially diluting some of the stronger performing sellers as you essentially add more supply to the platform, giving what demand there is more options? Thanks.

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

No, we haven't seen that. Actually, you know, retention is as high as it's ever been in the history of the company. That's ultimately, you know, the, the most important metric for the satisfaction of sellers. You know, so no, we haven't seen that. You know, I think at the end of the day, what drives conversion more than anything else is the perception of value, fair value.

That's why, you know, it's important for us to continue to make progress, not just on our new auction platform, but also we've got a whole range of efforts around helping sellers price competitively relative to market clearing prices on one hand, and also arming sellers with better historical transactional data with which to negotiate.

What we see is that, you know, when that results in market-based pricing, the conversion rate is very strong. For example, we added a collection which we call Design Values, which specifically highlights, you know, well-priced listings based on historical transactions for comparable items.

You know, that collection generated over $3 million in GMV in March, despite the fact that the items represented only 2% of our total supply. That's where a lot of our energy is increasingly, is around the communication of value as it relates to pricing.

Nicholas Jones (Managing Director and Internet Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thank you for taking the questions.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. One moment. We have a question from Ralph Schackart from William Blair. Your line is open.

Ralph Schackart (Partner and Equity Research Analyst)

Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. You talked about pricing being the biggest lever, particularly, you know, with the tough macro and providing more transparency and then providing more to the buyers on that side, as well as sellers on better pricing tools, and then maybe you mentioned boosting value listings. Maybe sort of talk about is this a newer initiative, continuation of something you've been working on? Just any more color you could share, that'd be great. I have a follow-up.

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Yeah. you know, pricing is something. Just to sort of start with first principles, you know, based on consumer research, extensive consumer research that we've done, and not surprisingly, price, both the belief that an item is too expensive and also importantly, an inability to evaluate the list price, given that these are one-of-a-kind items, is the biggest obstacle to conversion, especially among new buyers who aren't as familiar with the ability that we offer to negotiate.

Pricing has been a focus for, I don't know, you know, a year and a half or so. I think kind of our first initial offering to address that was auctions. Auctions, I think, remains an important part of the story going forward. What's changing now is that we're beginning to leverage the historical transactional data that uniquely we have in this market to help to both help buyers negotiate better pricing by showing them historical, item pricing or transactional pricing for comparable items on one hand, and using that same data to help sellers price more effectively.

These are both things that we had never done before, and they're new as of, you know, we began this, we began to commercialize it probably about two quarters ago. Again, as I mentioned in the example of the Design Values collection, you know, where we're able to scale that, it has a meaningful and quick impact on GMV. I think that's true in all markets, but of course, as you point out, it's especially true in a weak macro environment like the one we're in.

Ralph Schackart (Partner and Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thanks. Then, just you had mentioned trade projects taking a little bit longer to complete and some clients spreading that out. Is that something new in the quarter, or is this something that's continued or, you know, acceleration of that trend? Anything you could add there on trade would be great. Thank you.

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

Yeah. I mean, certainly in a, in a GMV sense, it's new. Over the last two years, as you know, trade has outperformed consumer. That changed in the 1st quarter, where both trade and consumer had similar growth rates. We expect that consumer will grow faster than trade over the coming quarters. You know, I mean, I think that's again, for a very straightforward reason. Trade is a proxy on the state of the luxury real estate, residential market. That state is not great right now. That's reflected in trade purchasing.

Ralph Schackart (Partner and Equity Research Analyst)

Great. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

One moment. Our next question comes from Curtis Nagle with Bank of America. Your line is open.

Curtis Nagle (Managing Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Good morning, thanks for taking the question. Just, I guess a quick update on the GMV attributable to auctions in international. I know you'd mentioned that's orders, I think you said about 6%. In terms of how those two new categories translate to GMV, where is that now? You know, where should we expect that to be by end of the year? It feels like it's around low single digits combined, any color on that would be very helpful.

David Rosenblatt (CEO)

So we don't break out the percentage of GMV that's attributable to both of those initiatives. What I can say is we're happy with where both of them are. Not satisfied, but happy. On auctions, like I said, you know, the primary driver on auctions is conversion, specifically new buyer conversion. You know, there we're seeing a positive impact.

As I mentioned, order growth sequentially is up over 11%. GMV from auctions was down sequentially because that order growth was offset by AOV declines. Again, those AOV declines, given the fact that auctions is by definition a value product, is something that we, you know, we anticipated that weakness in AOV. Of course, over time, you know, we're investing this to grow GMV, and we expect that order volume will offset those AOV declines.

International similarly, we're pretty happy with where, you know, the progress to date. As you may remember, we launched our first two non-English language markets in, you know, France and Germany in the summer last year. In Q1, we had organic traffic growth of over 200% year-over-year, and like I mentioned, double digit order growth.

Based on the successful experience there, we're going to launch our next two largest international markets, which are Italy and Spain. You know, we anticipate doing that before the end of the third quarter. You know, we're hopeful that we'll see similar results there as well. We have yet to put paid behind these markets in a major way. Again, we're very happy with the organic progress that we've seen to date.

Curtis Nagle (Managing Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Okay, great. Then just a quick modeling question, just how to think about GMV dollars for 2Q and the rest of the year. Presumably, the guidance for EBITDA does not include any additional cuts. Is that correct?

Tuomas Etergino (CFO)

Hey, this is Tom. On the GMV side, you know, we gave the guidance for Q1. We don't really guide to full year. On the expense side of things, the EBITDA does not anticipate any major cost actions in Q2. Again, we did talk about, you know, adjusting our expense structure to reflect our current demand. You know, we are looking at all items, you know, on the expense side to adjust for that, you know, across the board. Right now, our guidance does not anticipate large changes to our expense structure in Q2.

Curtis Nagle (Managing Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Okay. Thanks, Tom. Appreciate it.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. I'm showing no further questions. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
