On November 13, 2024, Riskified Ltd. (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company will hold a conference call regarding such results today, November 13, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. A copy of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 herewith.
Other than as indicated below, the information in this Report on Form 6-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
The U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") financial information contained in the (i) consolidated balance sheets, (ii) consolidated statements of operations and (iii) consolidated statements of cash flows included in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K are hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-258461, 333-265150, 333-270006 and 333-277711).
Authorization to Repurchase Ordinary Shares.
On November 12, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a “distribution”, as defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”), by way of a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase (buyback) an aggregate amount of up to $75 million of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Distribution”), subject to the completion of required Israeli regulatory procedures. The Distribution and the repurchases are in addition to the Company’s existing $150 million share repurchase authorizations in the aggregate, of which approximately $140 million had been utilized as of November 11, 2024.
According to Section 7C.(C) of the Companies Regulations (Relief for Companies Whose Securities Are Listed for Trading on Foreign Stock Exchanges) 2000, the Company’s creditors may apply to the Company and object to the Distribution, within 30 days following its publication.
Any share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, including through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws. The Company may repurchase all or a portion of the authorized amount. Following, and subject to, completion of the required Israeli regulatory procedures, the timing, as well as the number and value of any shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion under the Board authorized program and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s ordinary shares, the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, alternative investment opportunities, and applicable legal requirements. The Distribution does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of ordinary shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The share repurchases will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents. This notice is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Riskified Achieves Record Quarterly Free Cash Flows;
Board Authorizes Additional $75 Million Share Repurchase Program
Improves Guidance for FY 2024
NEW YORK, November 13, 2024 - Riskified Ltd. (NYSE: RSKD) (the “Company”), a leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company will host an investor call to discuss these results today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
“Our advanced Artificial Intelligence platform continues to set us apart in the market, positioning us as a global leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence. Our technology advantage, strong brand awareness, and differentiated platform has led to increased levels of new business activity and market share gains across key verticals,” said Eido Gal, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Riskified.
Q3 2024 Business Highlights
•Won Largest Policy Protect Deal in Company History: In the third quarter we successfully cross-sold our largest Policy Protect deal to date, with an Annual Contract Value of nearly $2 million. This large Fashion merchant is already active on the Riskified network using our core Chargeback Guarantee product.
•Continued Expansion in Tickets and Live Events: In our Ticketing and Live Events sub-vertical, we successfully upsold a top new logo won during the first quarter of 2024 by taking additional volume from a competitor. We believe that our strong performance in this category is driving a network flywheel effect, which is helping us to build a powerful competitive moat and deepen our expertise in the space.
•Further Vertical and Geographic Diversification with the Addition of New Merchants: We continued to have success landing new merchants on the Riskified network, which in turn deepened our vertical and geographic reach. Our top ten new logos added during the third quarter represented wins in each of our six different verticals, and across four geographies, with particular strength in the United States.
•Landed New Account in Money Transfer & Remittance Category: During the third quarter, we onboarded a multi-billion dollar global money transfer company with a worldwide network spanning more than 500,000 locations in over 190 countries and territories. We believe that this category represents an exciting area of potential expansion.
•Share Repurchase Program Update: We repurchased approximately 8.6 million ordinary shares for approximately $47 million during the third quarter. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $75 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, subject to the completion of required Israeli regulatory procedures. Assuming completion of the required Israeli regulatory procedures, our total outstanding aggregate repurchase authorization was approximately $85 million, as of November 11th. We remain committed to repurchasing our shares at attractive valuation levels.

“Our third quarter results demonstrated Riskified’s commitment toward profitable growth, highlighted by our continued adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and record free cash flow generation. Additionally, we continue to strategically utilize our strong balance sheet to enhance shareholder value through share repurchases while remaining focused on maintaining financial discipline,” said Aglika Dotcheva, Chief Financial Officer of Riskified.
Financial Outlook:
For the year ending December 31, 2024, we now expect:
•Revenue between $322 million and $327 million
•Adjusted EBITDA(2) between $14 million and $20 million
(1) GMV is a key performance indicator. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP net profit (loss) 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 are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to net profit (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in net profit (loss) 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.
Authorization to Repurchase Ordinary Shares
On November 12, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, subject to the completion of required Israeli regulatory procedures. This authorization is in addition to the Company’s existing $150 million share repurchase authorizations in the aggregate, of which approximately $140 million had been utilized as of November 11, 2024. Any share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time in the open market, including through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws. The Company intends to fund repurchases from existing cash and cash equivalents. Following, and subject to, completion of the required Israeli regulatory procedures, the timing, as well as the number and value of any shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion under the Board authorized program and will depend on a variety of factors, including management's assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's ordinary shares, the market price of the Company's ordinary shares, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, alternative investment opportunities, and applicable legal requirements. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares under the program, and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Conference Call and Webcast Details
The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results today, November 13, 2024 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, including 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 non-GAAP measures of liquidity, including 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 ecommerce risk intelligence platform during the period indicated, including the value of orders that we did not approve.
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, litigation-related 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 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.
Litigation-related expenses: We exclude costs associated with the legal matter previously disclosed under the caption "Legal Proceedings" in our Form 6-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 15, 2023, because such costs are 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 the reduction in force previously disclosed in our Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on February 13, 2024, 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.
We may refer to certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on our quarterly results conference call. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, and free cash
flow guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to net profit (loss), gross profit, and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, 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 potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
