ODDITY TECH ANNOUNCES SHARE BUYBACK PLAN, RAISES Q2 GUIDANCE
NEW YORK, June 07, 2024 -- ODDITY Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ: ODD) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share buyback program authorizing the repurchasing on the open market of a maximum of $150 million of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Buyback Plan”), subject to market conditions, legal and regulatory constraints, the terms of the Plan, and other strategic priorities. The Buyback Plan will expire on June 30, 2027 or once the allocated funds have been fully deployed, subject to any future modifications by the Board.
ODDITY currently has over $250 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments on its balance sheet. It has zero financial debt, and an additional $100 million available through an undrawn credit facility. The company’s cash deployment strategy prioritizes reinvestment in the business, M&A, and buybacks as appropriate.
Due to the approval of the Buyback Plan, ODDITY is now providing a refined outlook for Q2 2024. ODDITY expects to deliver revenue at the top end of the range, and EBITDA and EPS exceeding the range included in its latest guidance of May 7, 2024.
Accordingly, ODDITY is revising its guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024:
| · | Net revenue of approximately $189 million, representing year-over-year growth of 25%. |
| · | Gross margin of approximately 71.0%. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $60 million. |
| · | Adjusted diluted EPS approximately $0.69. |
| Q2 2024 Current Outlook | Q2 2024 Prior Outlook | |
| Net Revenue | ~$189 million | $185-189 million |
| Gross Margin | ~71.0% | 71. 0% |
| Adjusted EBITDA | ~$60 million | $53-56 million |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | ~$0.69 | $0.56 |
The financial outlook figures presented above are forward-looking statements that are subject to a variety of assumptions and estimates. Actual results may differ materially from ODDITY’s financial outlook as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, ODDITY has included the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS. ODDITY believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors to help evaluate ODDITY’s business, measure its performance, identify trends, prepare financial projections and make business decisions.
ODDITY defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before financial expenses (income), net, taxes on income, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and non-recurring items. ODDITY believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. By excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core operating results, ODDITY believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and interest income, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on their financing and capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.
ODDITY defines “Adjusted diluted earnings per share” as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares outstanding. ODDITY defines “Adjusted net income” as net income adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, non-recurring items and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. ODDITY believes the presentation of Adjusted diluted earnings per share is useful because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, ODDITY believes this measure is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because it excludes the impact of items that are outside the control of management or not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance.
ODDITY’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, its financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
