NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX), the leading SaaS website builder platform globally,(3) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. In addition, the Company provided its initial outlook for the first quarter and full year 2024. Please visit the Wix Investor Relations website at https://investors.wix.com/ to view the Q4'23 Shareholder Update and other materials.
"We wrapped up an outstanding year of accelerating growth and record profitability with a strong fourth quarter underpinned by robust business fundamentals and anchored by incredible momentum in our Partners business," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO. "Additionally, 2023 was a milestone year for innovation at Wix. Wix Studio has proven to be our highest-performing product release in recent history. In just six months, more than 500,000 agencies and freelancers have created Studio accounts, driving the number of Studio premium subscriptions to be ahead of plan. Most excitingly, nearly half of these Studio accounts were created by new Partners - a powerful indication that Studio is successfully winning a new market of large agencies who had not built on Wix before. AI was another major focus of innovation in 2023, building on nearly a decade of leading AI research and development at Wix. We introduced a suite of new genAI and AI tools, including AI Chat Experience for Business, AI Code Assistant and, most recently, AI Site Generator, which has been in the hands of many of our users for a couple of months and is already generating fantastic feedback. Both Self Creators and Partners have shown excellent engagement with our AI products over the past year, with the majority of new users today using or interacting with at least one AI tool on their web creation journey. We expect continued momentum and ramping benefits from these milestone products coupled with our upcoming product pipeline to propel accelerating growth in 2024."
"Q4 capped off an incredibly strong year of sustained profitable growth with revenue in the fourth quarter increasing 14% y/y, driven by incredible Partners revenue growth of 38% y/y," added Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix. "On top of this outperformance in 2023, I am extremely confident in our ability to comfortably beat our three-year plan - let me walk you through my reasoning:
"First, we expect to drive accelerating profitable growth in 2024 and see a number of indicators of growth momentum today, including (1) improved visibility from a stable and positively-trending macro environment; (2) continued strong cohort behavior, particularly in our Partners business; and (3) ramping benefits from Studio and the milestone AI initiatives launched in 2023. Because of this visibility and confidence, we are reintroducing bookings guidance, which we expect to accelerate to 12-14% y/y growth in 2024 with 15% y/y growth in 2H.
"Second, this bookings acceleration in 2024, which we expect will primarily be driven by improved Creative Subscriptions performance, will position us for revenue acceleration in 2025. Higher revenue growth coupled with continued efficient business operations will, we anticipate, allow us to exceed the 2024 targets we shared in our August 2023 Analyst Day.
"Finally, outperformance of our 2023 targets as well as this anticipated top-line acceleration and overachievement of our profitability targets in 2024 gives us confidence that we will not just reach, but actually exceed our three-year plan and significantly surpass the Rule of 40 in 2025."

Financial Outlook
Coming off of a strong year of significant product launches and strengthening fundamentals, we believe our business will experience strong top line growth of bookings in 2024 and more significantly in the second half of the year. This positive trend in bookings growth is expected to translate into y/y revenue growth acceleration in 2025.
This growth, paired with improved profitability targets due to a high degree of operating efficiency, leads to our expectation that our financial performance in 2024 and in 2025 will surpass the three-year plan we shared at our Analyst & Investor Day in August.
We now expect to significantly exceed the Rule of 40 in 2025.
We are reintroducing bookings guidance as we enter 2024 with improved visibility and a tremendous amount of confidence in our business as a result of a stable and positively-trending macro environment, strong cohort behavior, particularly in our Partners business, and most notably, ramping benefits from Studio and the milestone AI initiatives launched in 2023.
Our outlook for the full year 2024 is as follows:
We expect total bookings of $1.78 - $1.81 billion, up 12 - 14% y/y, an acceleration from 2023. We expect y/y growth of total bookings to accelerate in the second half of 2024 to 15% at the high end of the guidance range, positioning the business to achieve accelerating y/y revenue growth in 2025.
In particular, the acceleration is expected to be primarily in Creative Subscription bookings, bringing it to double digit y/y growth in the 2H24.
We expect total revenue to be $1.73 - $1.76 billion, up 11 - 13% y/y.
We expect total revenue in Q1 2024 of $415 - $419 million, up 11 - 12% y/y.
We continue to operate the business in an efficient manner as evidenced by the meaningful operating leverage -- on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis -- generated throughout 2023 compared to 2022. We plan to operate with the same efficiency in 2024 and expect strong gross profit growth due to gross margin improvements on a y/y basis as well as minimal incremental operating expenses this year.
We expect non-GAAP total gross margin of 68 - 69% with non-GAAP business solutions gross margin to exceed 30% for the full year.
We expect non-GAAP operating expenses to be 51 - 52% of revenue for the full year, with non-GAAP sales and marketing to remain similar to 2023 at roughly 23 - 24% of revenue.
We believe we are ahead of our plan to achieve GAAP profitability. We expect GAAP operating profit in 2024 as well as a second consecutive year of GAAP net income.
We expect to generate free cash flow, excluding headquarters costs, of $370 - $400 million, or 21 - 23% of revenue in 2024.
As we continue to responsibly manage dilution, we expect stock-based compensation expenses to decline as a percent of revenue for the third consecutive year to approximately 13% of revenue in 2024, in line with our three-year plan.
We expect capital expenditures, excluding costs associated with our new headquarters build out, of approximately $7 - $10 million in 2024. We will incur the final costs for our new headquarters in the first half of the year and anticipate them to be roughly $8 - $10 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, bookings on a constant currency basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, free cash flow per share, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenue expense, non-GAAP financial expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant currency or foreign exchange neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues and the change in unbilled contractual obligations for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Bookings include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by users as well as cash we collect from business solutions, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual agreements for which we may have not yet received payment. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and the majority of the additional products and services (other than Google Workspace) are recognized as revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognized as revenue as we fulfill our obligation under the terms of the contractual agreement. Bookings and Creative Subscriptions Bookings are also presented on a further non-GAAP basis by excluding, in each case, bookings associated with long term B2B partnership agreements. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income), amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude one-time cash restructuring charges and the capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Free cash flow per share represents free cash flow, as adjusted, divided by total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. Non-GAAP cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP financial expense represents financial expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for unrealized gains of equity investments, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and non-operating foreign exchange expenses. Non-GAAP tax expense represents tax expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for provisions for income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.
The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash flow, as adjusted, cumulative cohort bookings, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.
Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a key operating metric. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) all Creative Subscriptions in effect on the last day of the period, multiplied by the monthly revenue of such Creative Subscriptions, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month from domain registrations in effect on the last day of the period; and (iii) monthly revenue from other partnership agreements and enterprise partners.
