Paid subscribers increased to nearly 2.5 million, up 35% over Q3 2021

Delivered Q3 2022 revenue of $177.0 million, 32% decline compared to a strong prior year Q3 2021

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut”) (NASDAQ: CRCT), the creative technology company that has brought a connected platform for making to millions of users worldwide, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“While total revenue reflects certain pressures from the current macroeconomic environment, I am encouraged by the positive momentum we're seeing in many areas across the business. Our fundamentals are healthy, we have strong brand interest, and we continue to grow - total users climbed 30% year-on-year and paid subscriber growth outpaced user growth for the eleventh consecutive quarter,” said Ashish Arora, Chief Executive Officer of Cricut. “Our goal is to create a habit-forming experience, where users interact and engage on our platform often. Early success across these initiatives is giving us confidence in our strategies and our long-term growth opportunity. Operating in this macro environment has been challenging, but I believe we are stronger for it, with greater focus and discipline than ever before.”

  • Revenue was $177.0 million, down 31.9% compared to Q3 2021.
  • Connected machine revenue was $52.4 million, down 48.8% from Q3 2021.

  • Net income was $12.4 million, down 58.5% over Q3 2021, and was 7.0% of revenue, compared to $30.0 million, or 11.5% of revenue in Q3 2021.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.06, down from $0.13 per share in Q3 2021.

"Exiting the third quarter, we believe retailer inventory positions were much healthier, with most retailers needing to place new orders to fully capture expected holiday demand," said Kimball Shill, Chief Financial Officer of Cricut. "We continue to operate the business from a position of financial strength. We have a proven track record of profitable growth and believe we are well positioned to deliver healthy long-term operating margins. We will continue to invest in areas with the highest impact, fostering higher levels of engagement and innovating on our platform to drive growth in Cricut Access and our accessories and materials business."

Recent Business Highlights

  • Total user base grew to nearly 7.5 million, or 30% year over year.

  • As of the end of Q3 2022, there were nearly 3.6 million engaged users cutting on the Cricut platform in the past 90 days, almost half of our total user base. The number of engaged users increased 11% year over year.

  • Hundreds of thousands of users interact on Design Space daily to browse and be inspired. Users have bookmarked over 120 million images and projects, with nearly 2 million bookmarks being added weekly. The majority of these users who come in on any given day end up cutting over the next week.

  • Integrated a virtual Learning Plan into Design Space to drive faster user onboarding and engagement. Users are walked step-by-step through a series of simple and fun lessons that teach the basics of Design Space, how to use their connected machine and Cricut materials and more.

  • Paid subscribers grew to nearly 2.5 million by the end of Q3, up 35% year over year. New subscriber adds were up 59% sequentially versus Q2 2022, as a result of recent investments including the launch of new tools and content, enhanced functionality and improved merchandising within the platform.

  • Continued to expand internationally, with recent launches in South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. In addition, localized versions of Design Space were rolled out in nine new languages: Swedish, Polish, Danish, Hungarian, Czech, Norwegian, Romanian, Finnish, and Thai.

In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events, future results of operations or the ability to generate revenues, income or cash flow are forward-looking statements.
