Bull points
- Q1 gross transaction volume, or GTV, was $17.7 billion of 22% year-to-year with healthy growth from both residential and commercial customers.
- Q1 total revenue was $215.7 million of 27% year-to-year, led by subscription revenue, which was $162.7 million of 29% year-to-year, as well as consistent usage revenue, which was $45.3 million of 22% year-to-year.
- Net dollar retention was greater than 110% for the quarter.
Bear points
- Q1 free cash flow was negative $22.3 million. That had been negative $24.6 million for the prior year first quarter in spite of greater cash bonus attainment this year compared to the prior year.
- It is possible that we see a return of supply chain inflation, although I would say in the past our customers have proven their ability to pass through rising costs.
