The stock had surged 27% since October, fueled by high expectations after securing a significant deal with Instacart (CART, Financial) in August. Although IBTA exceeded EPS and revenue expectations in Q3, its Q4 guidance disappointed, leading to a sharp decline in stock value.- Total redemption revenue increased by 28% year-over-year to $84.5 million. The number of redeemers on the Ibotta Performance Network (IBN) grew by 63%, reaching a record high of 15.3 million coupon redeemers. This growth reflects the company's resilience in challenging economic times, with many Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck and spending a large portion of their income on necessities.- The growth in redemption revenue is primarily driven by third-party redeemers, including Walmart (WMT, Financial), Kroger (KR, Financial), and Costco (COST, Financial). Third-party publisher redemption revenue surged by 129% year-over-year, while the direct-to-consumer channel saw a 20% decline.- IBTA is also experiencing strong growth in its consumer-packaged goods (CPG) client base, with a 65% increase in gross billings for its CPG redemption business in FY24.- The company's strong performance has led to improved operating leverage, with Q3 adjusted EBITDA margin rising to 37% from 28% the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA of $36.5 million surpassed the company's Q3 guidance of $28-$32 million.- However, IBTA's Q4 revenue guidance of $100-$106 million fell short of expectations. The company also anticipates a quarter-over-quarter decline in adjusted EBITDA to $30-$34 million. Typically, Q4 is the strongest quarter for IBTA, but this year, it expects reduced redemption revenue due to CPG customers depleting their 2024 promotional budgets earlier than expected.- On a positive note, IBTA has received indications from its largest clients that they plan to increase their investment levels for 2025. Additionally, the partnership with CART is expected to make a more significant impact in 2025.The key takeaway is that while IBTA's Q4 guidance is disappointing, it appears to be a temporary setback. The company's business model remains robust as consumers continue to be cost-conscious, and CPG companies seek competitive pricing strategies.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2483580813"}
