NerdWallet Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Revenue of $150.6 million, Up 5% Year-Over-Year

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue of $150.6 million
  • GAAP loss from operations of $9.6 million
  • GAAP net loss of $9.4 million or $0.12 loss per diluted share
  • Non-GAAP operating loss of $2.7 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $14.3 million

NerdWallet, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRDS), which provides trustworthy financial guidance to consumers and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“This quarter we met our topline expectations, delivering revenue of $151 million, up five percent year-over-year, even as we hit an air pocket as banking decelerated, but we fell short of our guidance for non-GAAP operating income due to unexpected headwinds in organic search traffic,” said Tim Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NerdWallet. “We are seeing early signs of recovery and continue to believe we have a path to achieving our mid- and long-term targets we issued in March of this year as the insurance market normalizes and the lending environment loosens. At the same time, we remain focused on efficiency and will be investing more in our most important long-term strategic priorities, including vertical integration and our paid membership offerings.”

SECOND QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

As previously announced, effective with the fourth quarter of 2023, we present SMB products (previously included in Other verticals) as a separate revenue product category. Additionally, our historical Other verticals product category, exclusive of SMB products, is renamed Emerging verticals. Comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

  • Credit cards revenue of $46.1 million decreased 10% year-over-year, primarily due to reduced marketing spending by our financial services partners amidst a combination of continued cautious underwriting and heightened balance sheet conservatism.
  • Loans revenue of $21.7 million was down 6% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in personal loans as we lap a difficult comparison period and continue to work through a tight underwriting environment while improving our near-prime matching and partner coverage, partially offset by growth in student loans and mortgages.
  • SMB products revenue of $26.1 million was up 10% year-over-year, primarily driven by revenue growth in business credit cards and loan renewals, partially offset by a decrease in business loan originations.
  • Emerging verticals revenue, previously named Other verticals, of $56.7 million was up 25% year-over-year, as significant growth in insurance products was partially offset by a decrease in banking products.
  • We had 23 million average Monthly Unique Users (MUUs), which was up 7% year-over-year. We saw strong engagement in areas such as travel products, investing and insurance.

RESTRUCTURING PLAN

On July 30, 2024, NerdWallet, Inc. (NerdWallet or the Company) committed to a restructuring plan, effective August 1, 2024, intended to reduce the Company’s operating expenses and better position the Company to execute its long-term strategic initiatives (the Restructuring Plan). The Restructuring Plan will reduce the size of the Company’s workforce by approximately 15% of its full-time employees as compared to its headcount as of December 31, 2023.

The Company expects to incur a total estimated pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $8 million to $10 million in connection with the Restructuring Plan. This amount primarily consists of severance payments, employee benefits, and related expenses for impacted employees. The Company anticipates most of these charges will occur in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, with the workforce reduction largely completed by the end of that quarter. The Company expects to realize approximately $30 million of annualized cost savings as a result of the Restructuring Plan.

The charges that the Company expects to incur and the savings the Company expects to realize are subject to several assumptions, including, but not limited to, compliance with legal requirements in various jurisdictions, the impact of the workforce reduction on our business results of operations, and future investment opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We use non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Non-GAAP operating income (loss): We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, and further exclude (1) impairment of right-of-use asset, (2) losses (gains) on disposals of assets, (3) change in fair value of contingent consideration related to earnouts, (4) deferred compensation related to earnouts, and (5) acquisition-related costs. We also reduce income from operations, or increase loss from operations, for capitalized internally developed software costs.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense), net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and further exclude (1) impairment of right-of-use asset, (2) losses (gains) on disposals of assets, (3) change in fair value of contingent consideration related to earnouts, (4) deferred compensation related to earnouts, (5) stock-based compensation, and (6) acquisition-related costs.

The above items are excluded from our non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA measures because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amounts are not driven by core operating results and renders comparisons with prior periods less meaningful. We deduct capitalized internally developed software costs in our non-GAAP operating income (loss) measure to reflect the cash impact of personnel costs incurred within the time period.

We believe that non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and in comparing operating results across periods. Moreover, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. However, the use of these non-GAAP measures have certain limitations because they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as financial measures, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and are not meant as substitutes for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:

  • Non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as amortization of software, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of right-of-use asset, and (losses) gains on disposals of assets. Although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect all cash requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • Non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA exclude acquisition-related costs, including acquisition-related retention compensation under compensatory retention agreements with certain key employees, acquisition-related transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustments related to earnouts, and deferred compensation related to earnouts;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation, including for acquisition-related inducement awards, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense) and other gains (losses), net, which include unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange, as well as certain nonrecurring gains (losses).

In addition, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA as we define them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP operating income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP operating income (loss) to loss from operations, and adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable respective GAAP financial measures, as follows:

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

We are providing guidance for the third quarter of 2024:

  • Revenue is expected in the range of $172-$180 million, up 15% year-over-year at the midpoint
  • GAAP operating income (loss) is expected in the range of $(1)-$5 million
  • Non-GAAP operating income is expected in the range of $17-$21 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected in the range of $30.5-$34.5 million

We expect a 2024 annual GAAP operating income (loss) margin in the range of (0.5%)-1.1% and non-GAAP operating income margin in the range of 5.75%-7%. We also expect a 2024 annual adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 14.75%-15.75%.

NerdWallet has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted GAAP net income (loss) to forecasted adjusted EBITDA within this communication because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, income taxes which are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s capital stock. These items, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP net income (loss), are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are outside of NerdWallet’s control.

A reconciliation of forecasted operating income (loss) margin to forecasted non-GAAP operating income margin for forecasted full year 2024, and forecasted operating income (loss) to forecasted non-GAAP operating income for forecasted third quarter 2024 is as follows:
