Thanks, Erica, and welcome, everybody. We report back to you right this moment our outcomes for the third quarter of 2022, which represents one other very sturdy quarter for International-e. Regardless of varied headwinds within the type of prevailing and complicated macroeconomic situations available in the market and the continued warfare in Ukraine, International-e continues its excessive tempo of progress throughout all enterprise parameters. We delivered revenues of $105.6 million in Q3, representing 79% progress yr on yr.

And our GMV for Q3 totaled $621 million, rising 77% yr on yr. Each GMV and revenues got here in over our forecasted vary, beating the midpoint of the vary by 2.3% and 4.5%, respectively.

Our adjusted gross profitability was 41.5%, up from 38.6% in Q3 of 2021.

As Ofer will elaborate on later on this name, you will need to be aware that that is the primary quarter during which we embrace in our outcomes the figures from the Borderfree exercise, which we acquired in July of this yr. By way of our operational bills, we proceed to reinvest in rising the enterprise throughout all enterprise strains and departments, however on the identical time, proceed to keep up strict value management over all discretionary spending to make sure our capability to proceed delivering sturdy worthwhile progress. As such, our adjusted EBITDA got here in at $12.5 million, in comparison with $7.7 million in Q3 of final yr. Adjusted EBITDA margin quarter was 11.9%.

Transferring on from the monetary outcomes, I want to provide you with some updates relating to the numerous thrilling developments in our enterprise over the last quarter. On the service provider exercise entrance, demand for our companies continues to stay sturdy as increasingly more manufacturers world wide put direct-to-consumer and cross-border gross sales on the crosshairs of their progress technique. Throughout the third quarter, we continued to launch with many new manufacturers, amongst which have been the U.S.-based toy model Mattel Creations, a part of the Mattel group of manufacturers; the fast-growing T-shirt model, True Traditional; the web retailer of the outstanding clothier, Karl Lagerfeld; the traditional high-end London-based model Drakes; in addition to the merchandise retailer of the well-known italian Soccer Membership Inter Milan additional increasing our attain into the soccer golf equipment vertical. We additionally went reside throughout Q3 with the progressive sportswear model, Squatwolf, our first-ever service provider primarily based within the United Arab Emirates.

We continued our enlargement within the luxurious section as effectively from the high-end sneakers by Spanish designer Manolo Blahnik to Buccellati of the Richemont Group to a few extra LVMH Maisons, KVD, Ole Henriksen, and Stella by Stella McCartney, all going reside in the course of the third quarter. As well as, in the course of the quarter, a number of manufacturers expanded the checklist of their lanes operated by International-e, together with Suunto, which as soon as once more added extra names, Anine Bing which opened up its European website, Hugo Boss, and others. Whereas we proceed to develop our enterprise in our bookings pipeline throughout our present product strains and geographies, I am additionally joyful to share that we’re persevering with to make important progress in a number of of our enterprise growth initiatives, which we’ve shared with you previously. For instance, the main shopper electronics model Jabra, expanded its suite of companies with International-e, launched its presence on Amazon Japan via International-e’s market connectivity providing, which is a pilot section.

One other instance is International-e’s demand technology providing, which is already serving over 40 retailers. Over the subsequent few quarters, we anticipate these initiatives to progressively increase to extra retailers and geographies, in addition to others to begin and take form. Turning to our oblique go-to-market channels. Our ecosystem of companions across the globe continues to help our strong bookings within the markets we’re already established in, in addition to our worldwide enlargement efforts.

We repeatedly try to increase this ecosystem with Google being the newest associate with whom we signed a referral partnership settlement. Our strategic partnership with Shopify additionally stays very a lot on monitor with nice product developments and excessive engagement between the respective groups on all ranges. On the direct aspect, the stream of retailers going reside utilizing our new native integration is continuous to speed up as that is now the default integration for any new Shopify-based service provider. On the white label answer entrance, alpha trials have been efficiently accomplished with Shopify not too long ago granting early entry to the answer, Shopify Markets Professional for a small subset of related retailers.

We proceed hand-in-hand with Shopify down the deliberate highway towards common availability subsequent yr. We stay extremely optimistic relating to the long-term potential of our strategic partnership with Shopify. With reference to our company growth efforts, with the sluggish post-merger integration accomplished, our crew’s consideration is targeted totally on integrating Borderfree into the group. By now, all of Borderfree groups have been built-in into the related groups inside International-e.

Work is at present on its technique to write many attainable COGS synergies to progressively migrate Borderfree’s retailers onto the International-e platform and to place into use a number of fashions, belongings, and capabilities which have been constructed by Borderfree as a part of our future platform growth. We anticipate this integration work to proceed over the subsequent a number of quarters with synergies progressively realized alongside the best way. In parallel, we’re engaged on constructing our highway map for the expansion of the advertising and marketing and demand technology capabilities we acquired as a part of the transaction, in addition to the prolonged partnership with Pitney Bowes superior logistics options and joint method to retailers. In abstract, and taking all the above under consideration, we’re very happy with how the primary three quarters of 2022 have unfolded.

We imagine this sturdy efficiency, despite the unusually risky situations available in the market, is a real testomony to the robustness of our mannequin, our clear market management place, and our execution capabilities. Furthermore, as we glance towards subsequent yr and past, we stay extraordinarily enthusiastic relating to the worldwide e-commerce market’s long-term progress potential, compounded by the rising adoption of direct-to-consumer as a key channel for manufacturers on a worldwide scale. Nonetheless, and in an effort to err on the aspect of warning, we’ve determined to barely decrease our GMV and income forecast for 2022 by 2.5% and a couple of% on the midpoint of the vary, respectively, in an effort to bear in mind two extraordinary components which we anticipate could have an unusually giant antagonistic impact on our This fall outcomes. First is the impact of the unusually giant overseas trade swings, which worsened via the third quarter and into November, particularly these of the U.S.

greenback vis-a-vis different main currencies. The opposite issue is the go-live of a really giant service provider, which was initially deliberate for This fall, however on the final minute was postponed to Q1 of 2023. On the identical time, although, we’ve determined to replace our full-year adjusted EBITDA steering upwards by 3.4% as we’ve managed to progress greater than we initially anticipated on value optimization, together with a transfer to scale back workforce headcount as a part of synergy realizations put up the Borderfree acquisition. On the midpoint of the vary, our 2022 annual income forecast represents a large 66% progress yr on yr.

We imagine that such quick progress, effectively above the expansion charges of the e-commerce market itself, represents the immense greenfield alternative which lies forward of us for years to come back as increasingly more retailers across the globe put the cross-border direct-to-consumer channel entrance and heart of their future strategic plans. And with that, I’ll hand it over to Ofer, our CFO, to dive deeper into our quarterly monetary outcomes and supply some extra particulars relating to our outlook for the total yr of 2022.

Nonetheless, sadly, on this particular venture, there was a dependency on a 3rd social gathering that did not handle to finish their aspect of the combination in time. So, whereas all the pieces else was prepared, we and the service provider have been pressured to delay the launch into Q1 as a result of each of us went right into a code freeze.

Josh BeckKeyBanc Capital Markets — Analyst

Thanks for taking the query. I wished to ask somewhat bit concerning the market backdrop inside e-commerce. I believe what we have heard from a few of the home corporations is — U.S. was possibly up a tad in Q3 flattish.

I believe the view on Europe is that seemingly declined in Q3. And you have seen lots of people backing off successfully both market forecast for home. So, I am simply type of curious while you double-click within the cross-border sector, what you are seeing possibly at a sector stage and the way you are interested by the expansion algorithm for cross-border at a market stage going into subsequent yr?

Nir DebbiCo-Founder and President

As we talked about — Josh, it is Nir. As we talked about earlier, we did see the expansion fee barely decrease Q3 and the start of This fall than what we have seen beforehand. Nonetheless, we do see our retailers proceed to develop. The retailers are nonetheless rising.

We do not see a lower. We will see particular areas which are buying and selling barely decrease on yr on yr. However general, for retailers, we do see — and that is the place we differentiate from common retailers, our international attain is making it, I’d say, variant, however we do see on the general mixture of it, we do see a constructive impact. So, no matter completely different areas buying and selling decrease, we do see a stronger impact.

For us, what we see and primarily within the U.S., while you have a look at U.S. home, the consumers within the U.S. really see international purchasing cheaper. Due to the energy of the USD, it is cheaper for them to supply externally, and is greater than 50% of our gross sales are coming from retailers exterior the U.S.

It is really rising for us. So, U.S. nonetheless seems very strong on the mixture for International-e as a result of energy of the buyer spending as a result of weakening of the currencies in different areas.

Josh BeckKeyBanc Capital Markets — Analyst

OK. That is useful. After which possibly a follow-up on Shopify. Actually, you had some constructive updates there.

I believe there was an acceleration within the go-lives on the direct aspect. Is that one thing that you simply assume might be extra materials to income? I respect that you could be not disclose that as a result of that is clearly one partnership. However is that one thing that we ought to be interested by kicking into the mannequin subsequent yr? Is it extra of a multiyear alternative? How ought to we be framing that in our heads?

Nir DebbiCo-Founder and President

Our present expectation — and we have not finalized the budgeting for subsequent yr with Shopify. However we do anticipate that for us, for International-e, there will likely be a constructive impact as of Q3 and — with increase of the demand for the white label answer. Nonetheless, we do imagine that on the expansion fee — on the general firm progress fee, the primary impact would come on in 2024 onwards as the majority of retailers, I’d say, launch someday and begin alongside someday inside late Q3 — late 2023 and have an effect on our 2024 progress fee.

And we expect that taking into consideration the truth that the market is big, and we’re simply beginning to faucet into it, we will develop quick for the subsequent few years. After which that is our goal.

Midpoint of the steering now could be round $138 million, in order that’s like a $12 million delta. Is it truthful for us to imagine that is principally $6 million of FX and $6 million of the — of that one service provider being delayed, is that about proper?

Ofer KorenChief Monetary Officer

As a ballpark route, I believe you are not far off. Earlier than we transfer on, I’d similar to to make clear one merchandise in our press launch as we have gotten a few questions. Our prior full-year income steering was $406 million to $426 million. There was a typo within the launch.

So, prior steering, once more, for income of $406 million to $426 million.
