Riskified Continues To Grow Through Vertical and Geographic Expansion

Maintains 2025 Guidance

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2025-- 

Riskified Ltd. (NYSE: RSKD) (the "Company"), a leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company will host an investor call to discuss these results today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

"I am encouraged by our start to the year, our execution on the 2025 product roadmap, and the increased pipeline generation year-to-date. We believe that our vertical and geographic diversification, strong balance sheet, and track record of executing across different environments positions us well to drive long-term growth," said Eido Gal, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Riskified.

Q1 2025 Business Highlights

   -- Further Vertical and Geographic Diversification with the Addition of New 
      Merchants: We continued to have success landing new merchants on the 
      Riskified platform, which in turn deepened our vertical and geographic 
      reach. Our top ten new logos added during the first quarter represented 
      wins in four verticals and all four geographies. Eight of our top ten new 
      Chargeback Guarantee logos represented wins outside of the United States. 
 
   -- Landed New Account in Money Transfer & Payments Category: During the 
      first quarter we onboarded a global digital wallet that facilitates 
      online payments, virtual and physical debit cards, money transfers, and 
      other types of payment and remittance activity. We continue to believe 
      that the Money Transfer & Payments category represents an exciting area 
      of potential expansion, as evidenced by over 90% year-over-year revenue 
      growth rates during the first quarter. 
 
   -- Multi-Product Platform Expansion: Revenue growth from products outside of 
      our core Chargeback Guarantee product increased by approximately 190% 
      year-over-year, as our multi-product platform continued to resonate with 
      merchants. 
 
   -- Share Repurchase Program Update: In the first quarter of 2025, we 
      repurchased an aggregate of 4.1 million shares for a total price of $20.7 
      million including broker and transaction fees. We remain committed to 
      repurchasing our shares at attractive valuation levels. 
 
   -- Launched Ascend 2025: We recently kicked off our global merchant event 
      series, Ascend 2025, with stops in London and Shanghai. Many of the 
      world's largest merchants, industry experts, and thought leaders gathered 
      to explore the latest trends, innovations, and strategies in ecommerce 
      fraud prevention and risk management. Ascend 2025 will continue its tour 
      in various locations throughout the world including Melbourne, Brooklyn, 
      Tokyo, and São Paulo in the coming months. 
 
   -- Named Most Innovative Fraud Prevention Solution: Riskified was recently 
      named the Most Innovative Fraud Prevention Solution at the Merchant 
      Payments Ecosystem Awards 2025. This recognition underscores our 
      commitment to empowering merchants with our cutting-edge AI-driven fraud 
      prevention platform.

      and investments on the balance sheet and zero debt. 

"We delivered another positive quarter of Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting our disciplined approach to expense management and continued focus on operational efficiency. This consistent execution has strengthened our financial foundation and we believe positions us well to generate further Adjusted EBITDA expansion and create long-term value for our shareholders," said Aglika Dotcheva, Chief Financial Officer of Riskified.

Financial Outlook

For the year ending December 31, 2025, we continue to expect:

   -- Revenue between $333 million and $346 million 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA(2) between $18 million and $26 million 

(1) GMV is a key performance indicator. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP diluted net profit per share, and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures of financial performance. See "Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures" for additional information and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(2) We refer to certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our quarterly results conference call. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, or non-GAAP operating expense for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 to net profit (loss), gross profit, and total operating expenses, respectively, because certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP metrics but included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, cannot be predicted on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort or are not within our control. For example, we are unable to forecast the magnitude of foreign currency transaction gains or losses which are subject to many economic and other factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call and Webcast Details

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results today, May 14, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. A live webcast of the call can be accessed from Riskified's Investor Relations website at ir.riskified.com. A replay of the webcast will also be available for a limited time at ir.riskified.com. The press release with the financial results, as well as the investor presentation materials will be accessible on the Company's Investor Relations website prior to the conference call.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain references to Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV"), which is a key performance indicator, and to certain non-GAAP measures which include non-GAAP measures of financial performance such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses by line item, non-GAAP net profit (loss), and non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share, and a non-GAAP measure of liquidity, Free Cash Flow. Management and our Board of Directors use key performance indicators and non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives, and to evaluate our capacity to expand our business. Free Cash Flow provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet.

These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Non-GAAP measures of financial performance have limitations as analytical tools in that these measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; these measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, and assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Free Cash Flow is limited because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

In light of these limitations, management uses these non-GAAP measures to supplement, not replace, our GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different calculation methods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. By providing these non-GAAP measures together with a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

We define GMV as the gross total dollar value of orders reviewed through our AI-powered ecommerce risk intelligence platform during the period indicated, including the value of orders that we did not approve. GMV is an indicator of the success of our merchants and the scale of our platform. GMV does not represent transactions successfully completed on our merchants' websites or revenue earned by us, however, our revenue is directionally correlated with the level of GMV reviewed through our platform and is an indicator of future revenue opportunities. We generate revenue based on the portion of GMV we approve multiplied by the associated risk-adjusted fee.

We define each of our non-GAAP measures of financial performance, as the respective GAAP balances shown in the below tables, adjusted for, as applicable, depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized internal-use software as presented in our statement of cash flows), share-based compensation expense, payroll taxes related to share-based compensation, legal-related and other expenses, restructuring costs, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, other income (expense) including foreign currency transaction gains and losses and gains and losses on non-designated hedges, and interest income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue. Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin represents Non-GAAP Gross Profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. We define non-GAAP net profit (loss) per share as non-GAAP net profit (loss) divided by non-GAAP weighted-average shares. We define non-GAAP weighted-average shares, as GAAP weighted average shares, adjusted to reflect any dilutive ordinary share equivalents resulting from non-GAAP net profit (loss), if applicable.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash purchases of property and equipment.

Management believes that by excluding certain items from the associated GAAP measure, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our performance and provide meaningful supplemental information due to the following factors:

Depreciation and amortization: We exclude depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized internal-use software) because we believe that these costs are not core to the performance of our business and the utilization of the underlying assets being depreciated and amortized can change without a corresponding impact on the operating performance of our business. Management believes that excluding depreciation and amortization facilitates comparability with other companies in our industry.

Share-based compensation expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense primarily because it is a non-cash expense that does not directly correlate to the current performance of our business. This is partly because the expense is calculated based on the grant date fair value of an award which may vary significantly from the current fair market value of the award based on factors outside of our control. Share-based compensation expense is principally aimed at aligning our employees' interests with those of our shareholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period.

Payroll taxes related to share-based compensation: We exclude employer payroll tax expense related to share-based compensation in order to see the full effect that excluding that share-based compensation expense had on our operating results. These expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of our business.

Legal-related and other expenses: We exclude certain costs incurred in connection with corporate initiatives that are non-recurring and not reflective of costs associated with our ongoing business and operating results and are viewed as unusual and infrequent.

Restructuring costs: We exclude costs associated with reductions in force because these costs are related to one-time severance and benefit payments and are not reflective of costs associated with our ongoing business and operating results and are viewed as unusual and infrequent.

See the tables below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
