“Our third quarter consolidated results came in roughly as anticipated, with some incremental pressure on Etsy marketplace year-over-year GMS, healthy growth in revenue and continued strength in our adjusted EBITDA profitability,” said Josh Silverman, Etsy CEO.

“We made excellent progress improving Etsy marketplace customer experiences — from Gifting, to Quality, a new loyalty program, investing in our app, and more — all of which we believe will drive engagement and frequency over time. While 2024 has been a challenging period for discretionary goods, we are investing with discipline and focus to make Etsy even more Etsy — which we believe will lift our boat when the tide comes back in again,” Silverman added.
