- Delivered strong results for Q3’23. Our focus and execution across our core marketplace and Fiverr Business Solutions allowed us to deliver revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance.
- Improving Adjusted EBITDA margins for 2023. We are raising our FY’23 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $58.0 - $60.0 million, representing Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.3% at the midpoint, as we continue to operate with focus and discipline.
