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's 2024 outlook incorporates accelerated investments in future growth initiatives, which are expected to have a disproportionate negative impact on adjusted EBITDA margin in the second half of 2024.
ODDITY is revising its guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2024:
- Net revenue between $626 million and $635 million, representing year-over-year growth between 23% and 25%.
- Gross margins of approximately 71.0%.
- Adjusted EBITDA between $139 million and $143 million.
- Adjusted diluted EPS between $1.57 and $1.62. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 25.0% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 64.0 million.
| Current FY2024 Outlook | Prior FY2024 Outlook | |
| Net Revenue | $626-635 million | $620-630 million |
| Gross Margin | 71.0% | 70.5% |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $139-143 million | $136-140 million |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | $1.57-1.62 | $1.49-1.54 |
ODDITY is providing the following guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024:
- Net revenue between $185 million and $189 million, representing year-over-year growth between 22% and 25%.
- Gross margin of approximately 71.0%.
- Adjusted EBITDA between $53 million and $56 million.
- Adjusted diluted EPS between $0.61 and $0.64. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 25.0% and average fully diluted shares of approximately 63.0 million.
| Q2 2024 Outlook | |
| Net Revenue | $185-189 million |
| Gross Margin | 71.0% |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $53-56 million |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | $0.61-0.64 |
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."
