Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on your international strategy and why you're focusing on it now? A: Oran Holtzman, Co-founder and CEO: We have been working on accelerating our international growth for years. In 2025, we decided to increase our presence in markets like the UK, Germany, and Australia, as well as test new markets. This decision was not due to any softness in the US market but rather a strategic choice to leverage the massive opportunity international markets present. Our competitors have a significant portion of their business internationally, and we aim to build localized experiences for each market to ensure strong performance from day one.

Q: Are you seeing any consumer weakness or trade-down due to macroeconomic concerns? A: Oran Holtzman, Co-founder and CEO: We haven't observed any significant consumer weakness. Our direct-to-consumer model and focus on online sales have insulated us from some of the challenges faced by competitors focused on brick-and-mortar. We believe the shift to online is still in its early stages, and we remain bullish about the future.

Q: Can you discuss the repeat purchase behavior and its impact on your business? A: Oran Holtzman, Co-founder and CEO: Repeat purchases are a significant part of our revenue, growing to over 60% in 2024. Our 12-month net revenue repeat rate is over 100%, which is among the best in the D2C space. We drive repeat purchases through strong product satisfaction, expanding wallet share with new products, and cross-selling between brands.

Q: What are the key milestones for Brand 3, and how do you plan to scale it? A: Oran Holtzman, Co-founder and CEO: Brand 3 is a telehealth platform focusing on skin and body issues like acne and eczema. We plan to soft launch in Q3 and officially launch in Q4. We've invested significantly in developing a comprehensive product line and telehealth infrastructure. The brand leverages our platform and user base, and we are confident in its potential to scale.

Q: How do you balance organic growth at Oddity Labs with M&A opportunities? A: Oran Holtzman, Co-founder and CEO: We focus on building internal capabilities while also exploring M&A opportunities to strengthen Oddity Labs. We look for strong teams with advanced technologies that align with our target areas. This approach allows us to accelerate development and enhance our capabilities in molecule discovery and product innovation.
