Transcript signals

Bull points

  • During the fiscal second quarter of 2026, we continued to grow GMV in revenue while also growing our total of segment direct profits 18% and adjusted EBITDA by 37%.
  • Our fiscal second quarter of 2026 was 48%, showing continued performance against our long-term goal for balancing growth and profitability.
  • Strong buyer demand, expanded participation, and disciplined execution continue to support our model designed for continuing profitable growth creating compelling long-term value.

Bear points

  • GAAP EPS grew at a lower rate than non-GAAP-adjusted EPS, primarily due to the year-over-year increase in performance-based stock compensation expectations.
  • Both GAAP EPS and non-GAAP adjusted EPS grew at a slower rate than non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, principally on the increase in income tax expense associated with the lower tax benefit from stock compensation.
  • We expect GMV to range from $425 million to $465 million. We estimate non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to range from $17 million to $20 million. GAAP net income is expected in the range of $7 million to $10 million with corresponding GAAP diluted earnings per share ranging from $0.21 to $0.30 per share.
