Transcript signals
Bull points
- Conversion overall was up from 17% to 19% year on year, which is pretty phenomenal.
- we had similar momentum to last year, kept up that same cycle, and we continue to invest in sales and marketing resources to continue to drive that.
- the vast majority of those brands stay with us and go into existing brand partner revenue and then benefit from that NRR on average of 127%.
Bear points
- Dave Wright, our co-founder and chief executive officer, and Jason Beasley, our chief financial officer
- While the Middle East is an immaterial portion of our revenue today, geopolitical tensions have introduced volatility into global logistics and energy costs, as well as uncertainty around consumer sentiment.
