ZipRecruiter Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

Quarterly revenue $183.7 million, down 19% y/y

Net income of $5.0 million, or net income margin of 3%

Adjusted EBITDA of $35.3 million, or Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19%

Company announces $100 million increase to share repurchase program authorization

ZipRecruiter®, a leading online employment marketplace, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. ZipRecruiter’s complete first quarter 2023 results, financial guidance, and management commentary can be found by accessing ZipRecruiter’s shareholder letter on the quarterly results page of the Investor Relations website at investors.ziprecruiter.com.

“The first quarter demonstrates ZipRecruiter’s resilience amidst a challenging industry backdrop. Despite experiencing an anticipated revenue decline, we were able to generate $35 million of Adjusted EBITDA, above our expectations,” said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. “The macroeconomic environment remains highly uncertain and so far in 2023 we have seen online job postings soften further. However, we are able to maintain our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $185 million at the midpoint given our nimble business model. Regardless of the labor market backdrop, our mission remains the same: to actively connect people to their next great opportunity. Our brand, technology, people, financial model, and balance sheet allow us to navigate through this cycle from a position of strength, and emerge on the other side with an even more powerful marketplace.”

Additionally, the company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $100 million increase to its share repurchase program under which ZipRecruiter may repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock. ZipRecruiter believes investing in undervalued equity is an attractive option in its balanced capital allocation approach. ZipRecruiter also believes in its ability to generate strong cash flow and invest in attractive organic and inorganic opportunities in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before interest expense, other income, net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

Management and our board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of some items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures 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 for capital expenditures to expand our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of some expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full fiscal year 2023 to net income margin, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of stock-based compensation or amortization of intangible assets, as applicable, without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, GAAP measures in the future. See the table below regarding a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
