“I truly believe there is no limit to what we can build at ODDITY. We are playing in a huge TAM that is being transformed,” Holtzman continued. “And we have positioned our business to lead in two pillars of this transformation. First, the consumer shift online, where we believe we are already the largest direct-to-consumer platform in the market. Second, the shift to science-backed, NEW high-performance products, where we are ALL-IN, building the industry’s largest and most advanced platform for new molecule discovery. If we do it right, ODDITY LABS will change our industry and our company.”

ODDITY achieved a number of objectives in the past year, supporting strong financial performance today and positioning the business for the future. These include:

“We are pleased with our financial results for the quarter and full year, which beat our guidance across revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. Our topline growth translated into strong free cash generation, with $85 million of free cash flow in 2023,” said Lindsay Drucker Mann, ODDITY Global CFO. “We continue to aggressively invest in future growth initiatives, including ODDITY LABS and future brand launches, where we expect to continue investing in 2024. Q124 is off to a very strong start, and because of our high repeat rates, we have high confidence and visibility into achieving our full year 2024 objectives.”

Financial outlook

ODDITY expects to deliver 2024 financials ahead of its long-term growth algorithm of 20%-plus revenue growth and 20%-plus adjusted EBITDA margin. ODDITY is providing the following guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2024:

• Net revenue between $620 million and $630 million, representing year-over-year growth between 22% and 24%.
• Gross margins of approximately 70.5%.
• Adjusted EBITDA between $136 million and $140 million.
• Adjusted diluted EPS between $1.49 and $1.54. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 25.0% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 64.5 million.

ODDITY is providing the following guidance for the first quarter ending March 31, 2024:

• Net revenue between $204 million and $207 million, representing year-over-year growth between 23% and 25%.
• Gross margin of approximately 71.0%.
• Adjusted EBITDA between $43 million and $45 million.
• Adjusted diluted EPS between $0.47 and $0.50. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 25.0% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 63 million.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the sections titled “Non GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” below for more information regarding ODDITY’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. ODDITY has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS outlook to the corresponding net income and diluted EPS GAAP measures, because the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. ODDITY is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable reconciling items, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin 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. “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. ODDITY believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are 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 net income” as net income adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, non-recurring items and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and “Adjusted net income margin” as Adjusted net income divided by net revenue. In addition, ODDITY defines “Adjusted diluted earnings per share” as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares outstanding. ODDITY believes the presentations of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, ODDITY believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, because they exclude 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.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with the financial tables at the end of this release under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
