Eventbrite Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Second quarter revenue grows 7% year-over-year to $84.6 million, within outlook range
Revises full year net revenue outlook reflecting pricing-related adjustments
Announces plan to reduce operating expenses and strengthen long-term results

8/8/2024
SAN FRANCISCO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), a global marketplace for shared experiences, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Second Quarter 2024 Shareholder Letter can be found on Eventbrite’s Investor Relations website at https://investor.eventbrite.com.
“Our second-quarter performance, while within our guidance, was pressured by the pricing-related headwinds related to our transition to a two-sided marketplace,” said Julia Hartz, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We are taking action to refine the go-to-market strategy and reduce our expense structure to work towards profitability even despite the revised revenue outlook for the year. That said, we are encouraged by the growth in the consumer side of the business, namely in mobile app adoption and tickets driven by Eventbrite’s discovery experiences. I’m confident that leaning into our marketplace strategy will enable long-term growth for creators and an increased engagement of consumers as the desire to gather at live events continues.”

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
Net Revenue of $84.6 million, up 7% year-over-year. Marketplace-related revenue from organizer fees and Eventbrite Ads grew to over 13% of total net revenue.
Total free and paid ticket volume of 66.8 million tickets across 1.4 million events.
Gross Margin of 70.9% vs 68.8% a year ago.
Net income of $1.1 million and Net Income Margin of 1.3%, which includes a net benefit of $8.2 million from a legal settlement and minimal restructuring charges, compared to net loss of $2.9 million in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.2%.1

Business Outlook
The company has updated its outlook for fiscal year 2024, based on factors that include:
Lower than anticipated paid ticket volume reflecting reduced creator acquisition and retention
Planned changes to pricing and packaging plans offered to creators including the introduction of a free tier
As a result, the company now expects fiscal third quarter 2024 revenue to be in the range of $74 to $77 million and $318 million to $325 million for fiscal year 2024.
The company has reviewed its product roadmap, organizational structure, and staffing with a focus on continuing support for the strategic transformation, increasing operating efficiency, and lowering costs. Today, the company announced the elimination of roughly 100 positions and initiated plans to reduce other costs. The company expects to incur up to $7 million in expenses related to severance and cost-reduction actions during Q3, and that these actions will reduce the company’s total annualized operating costs by $30 million.
At the mid-point of its revenue outlook, the company now expects a 10% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2024, excluding the impact of restructuring costs and other items.

*We have not provided an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) or GAAP net income (loss) margin or reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) or expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income (loss) margin, because GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and complexity of the items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, such as share-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and other non-recurring expenses.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is helpful to our investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations and useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance as they are metrics used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance, making operating decisions, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as we calculate them, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Some amounts in this press release may not add due to rounding.

Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, employer taxes related to employee transactions, other (income) expense net, which consists of foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital spending that occurs off of the income statement or account for future contractual commitments, (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest and principal required to service our indebtedness. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-routine items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) and other GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because of the limitations described above, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), net income (loss) margin and our other GAAP results.

Dear Eventbrite Shareholder, During the second quarter and first half of 2024, our Eventbrite team has remained focused on the ongoing transformation of our business into a vibrant two-sided marketplace for live events. We believe this transformation will meaningfully expand our addressable opportunity over time and enable us to better capture it. We made significant strategic progress during the quarter, particularly on our consumer experience, mobile app users, and Eventbrite ads, bolstering confidence in our plan’s powerful potential. Eventbrite continues to be both a partner of choice for mid-market creators and a trusted resource for consumers seeking high-quality live experiences. In the second quarter of the year, we connected 27.4 million free and paid ticket buyers with 358,000 creators across a wide variety of categories and locations. In total, we issued 67 million tickets to more than 1.4 million free and paid events, and $840 million in total ticket value was transacted in our marketplace. Second quarter paid ticketing volume, however, was down 9% compared to the prior year, and continuing to trend lower at the start of the second half. The pricing model changes we began implementing last year, including the introduction of organizer fees, are impacting creator acquisition and retention and reducing event inventory and ticket volume. To address this, we plan to make meaningful adjustments to our pricing plans in the near term. The expected impact of changes to our pricing plans and lower paid ticket volume has been reflected in our updated business outlook below. The Rock Orchestra MEGA Events Museums, caves, airfields, and cathedrals might not strike you as typical party hotspots.

MEGA Events is Eventbrite’s top EMEA creator and hosts events worldwide. Page 3Eventbrite Q2 2024 Shareholder Letter


 
We’ve been listening and responding to our creator’s needs, and we’re hard at work to eliminate the factors that are holding back growth in paid ticket volume. Next month, we will reintroduce a free tier with no creator fees to allow more creators to discover the value of our offerings and the power of our large and growing consumer audience. We believe this new tier will help position us to boost creator acquisition and retention, win back creators who have recently left the platform, and stabilize paid ticket volume over time. Looking ahead, we plan to introduce a premium marketplace tier that delivers enhanced event visibility, as well as incentives and support aligned to driving growth. While the addition of a new free tier and packaging our marketplace offerings in a premium subscription will likely impact near-term monetization, we believe these actions can help drive improvement in creator acquisition that will translate into growth in ticket volume. In light of the reduced revenue outlook and in keeping with our commitment to financial discipline, we have taken decisive action to significantly reduce operating expenses. We believe these steps will allow us to support margins and drive operating leverage as we plan for creator and ticket volume trends to return to more historical levels over time. Despite the near-term challenges we are addressing, we remain committed to our transformation plan and delivering stronger results in the future.

Business Update In the second quarter of 2024, we delivered revenue results consistent with our outlook for the period, although toward the lower end of the range we provided. Net revenue of $84.6 million was up 7% over last year’s second quarter. Ticketing revenue was 4% lower than a year earlier, reflecting declines in creator count and paid tickets related to the implementation of organizer fees. Revenue per ticket increased to $3.98 compared with $3.39 in the comparable quarter last year, propelled by strong growth in non-ticketing marketplace revenue (consisting of organizer fees and advertising revenue). Net income for the second quarter was $1.1 million, which includes the net benefit of an $8.2 million legal settlement award and minimal restructuring- related expenses. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was reported at $12.8 million. Excluding a net benefit of $4.3 million from the legal settlement and minimal restructuring-related expenses, Adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million for the second quarter, representing a 10% margin. Our financial position remains strong. Total cash and cash equivalents were $575.5 million, and available liquidity (defined at the bottom of this Shareholder Letter) was $353.2 million as of June 30, 2024. Year to date, we have completed $37.0 million in share repurchases under the $100 million plan authorized in March, reducing shares outstanding by approximately 7% thus far. Marketplace Highlights We continue to upgrade the functionality and performance of our technology, always with an eye on serving the most innovative and successful creators of live events. During the third quarter, we plan to release a new timed entry ticketing capability, enabling Eventbrite to support events that offer tickets in multiple time slots during the day. This new functionality is intended to serve several new verticals, such as tours and museums, expand the breadth of inventory available in our marketplace, and increase paid ticket volume. We’ve made great strides in helping creators unlock greater scale, which is a top need for our customers both large and small. We recently announced a partnership with TikTok, which offers Eventbrite creators and consumers a powerful new way to share and promote events via the TikTok platform. 2,000000 2,214286 2,428571 2,642857 2,857143 3,071429 3,285714 3,500000 Q2 2024 Q2 2023 Q2 2022 Q2 2019 $3.04 $3.02 $3.39 7.1% 7.8% 8.9% 10.1% $3.98 // Net Revenue per Ticket and Take Rate Page 5Eventbrite Q2 2024 Shareholder Letter


 
Eventbrite creators and TikTok users can now link videos directly to an event page on the Eventbrite app, where consumers can discover full event details and directly purchase event tickets. This partnership adds significant consumer reach and engagement for creators, extending well beyond Eventbrite’s own marketplace. We are strengthening our outbound sales function to attract more high-value events with the greatest consumer appeal. These creators bring a large and diverse array of new consumers into our marketplace, feeding our flywheel when their event-going fans discover other events curated for them within the Eventbrite marketplace. We’ve expanded our sales team under new leadership and are using Eventbrite data to target creators in the categories and metros that exhibit the strongest consumer demand. Bookings of new, large creators continued to pace well ahead of 2023, increasing 60% year to year in the second quarter. We are both diversifying our revenue and enabling creators to effectively market their events through Eventbrite Ads. Our investments to improve relevance and targeting continued to drive down costs to Eventbrite Ads users and increase the return on their investment. Creators who participate in Eventbrite Ads tend to generate more revenue and display higher retention rates on our platform than those who have not yet adopted this service. We grew the number of creators using Eventbrite Ads by 20% between the first and second quarter, and more than doubled ad revenue year over year. We continue to expand Eventbrite Ads’ geographic coverage to both large and smaller metros, while fine-tuning our localized targeting capabilities at the same time. Leveraging the power of Eventbrite’s consumer reach and brand for the benefit of creators is a key element of our marketplace transition. Average monthly active users (MAUs) rose to 93 million in the quarter, with mobile app users increasing 22% from a year ago. We offer creators on our platform strong web search visibility as well as direct exposure to active ticket buyers on Eventbrite. In a recent study of consumer behavior, we observe consumer loyalty to our platform, as more than 60% of repeat buyers come back to purchase tickets to a different creator’s event the next time they return, making our marketplace a natural demand generating engine for creators. Buck’s Backyard Nestled just outside Austin, Texas, Buck’s Backyard is a vibrant venue that has captured hearts since opening its doors in 2017. Renowned for its cold beer, delicious food, and stellar live music scene, and owned and operated by industry veterans, this 15-acre oasis on Onion Creek offers a laid-back, family- and dog-friendly atmosphere. With live music rocking the stage every Friday and Saturday night, plus epic seasonal concerts, Buck’s Backyard embodies everything we love about live events — fun, community, and unforgettable moments.

We plan to continue leveraging AI to fine-tune our consumer app and enhance personalization and relevance, and later this year, we plan to relaunch our app, leaning into social connections and hyper-local discovery of events through friends. Summary The work we are doing today to transition Eventbrite beyond a ticketing platform is designed to realize the tremendous potential we see in our market, our business, and our brand. We are positioning Eventbrite to capture that potential by focusing on creator success, consumer engagement, and continuous innovation. In doing so, we believe we are also building a stronger, more resilient company for the long term. We are energized by the opportunities ahead of us and confident in our ability to deliver on their promise. Sincerely, DC9 Nightclub This year marks twenty years since Washington DC’s hugely popular DC9 music venue and dance space first opened its doors. At DC9 it’s all about variety. Yes, there are intimate gigs, but with 26 events a month, there’s plenty more for music fans to get their kicks at. Think nostalgia- fueled 90s-themed-music events, trivia nights, weekday happy hours, karaoke (with a twist), and oh-so-hot-right-now dance parties (their ‘honest, blunt, and a little bit volatile’ dance night celebrates all things Charli XCX, complete with lime green Brat-style branding).

*We have not provided an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) or GAAP net income (loss) margin or reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) or expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income (loss) margin, because GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and complexity of the items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, such as share-based compensation expense, foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and other non-recurring expenses. Business Outlook Based on current information, we anticipate third-quarter revenue will be within a range of $74 to $77 million, and full-year 2024 revenue will be within a range of $318 million to $325 million. At the midpoint of our revenue outlook range, we expect Adjusted EBITDA margins, excluding the impact of severance costs and other non-routine items, to be approximately 10% for the year.

Forward-Looking Statements This letter contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the future performance of Eventbrite, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”); the Company’s business model and investments to support growth, including the Company’s marketplace strategy and impact on results; the Company’s expectations regarding the development of its marketplace and products; the Company’s long-term growth strategy, growth areas, pursuit of profitability, operating expenses, and investment initiatives and focus areas; the Company’s expectations with respect to its operating model, financial results and trends; and the Company’s expectations described under “Business Outlook” above. In some cases, forward- looking statements can be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “appears,” “shall,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Such statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this letter, including those more fully described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results will be included in the subsequent periodic and current reports and other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any of the statements in this letter. Disclaimer Regarding Ticketing and Creator Metrics This letter includes certain measures related to our ticketing business, such as free and paid tickets, paid creators, paid buyers, monthly active users (MAUs), and Eventbrite Ads. We believe that the use of these metrics is helpful to our investors as these metrics are used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance. These metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement. There are inherent challenges in measuring these metrics, and we regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. About Non-GAAP Financial Measures We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Available Liquidity is helpful to our investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations and useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance as they are metrics used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance, making operating decisions, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as we calculate them, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Some amounts in this shareholder letter may not sum due to rounding. Adjusted EBITDA We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, employer taxes related to employee transactions, other (income) expense net, which consists of foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Page 14Eventbrite Q2 2024 Shareholder Letter


 
Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital spending that occurs off of the income statement or account for future contractual commitments, (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest and principal required to service our indebtedness. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-routine items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) and other GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because of the limitations described above, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), net income (loss) margin and our other GAAP results. Available Liquidity To evaluate Eventbrite’s liquidity, the Company adds funds receivable from ticket sales within the last five business days of the period to creator advances, short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents, and then reduces the balance by funds payable and creator payables.
