Hi, everyone, and welcome to Etsy's Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. I'm Deb Wasser, VP of Investor Relations. And joining me today for our prerecording are Josh Silverman, CEO; Kruti Patel Goyal, President and Chief Growth Officer; and Lanny Baker, CFO. In addition to our quarterly results, we have some exciting news to review regarding our leadership transition. Once we are finished with the presentation, we will take questions from our publishing sell-side analysts on video. Please keep in mind that our results today include forward-looking statements related to our financial guidance, our business, our operating results and our leadership transition, as noted in the slide deck posted to our website for your reference. Our actual results may differ materially. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are described in today's earnings release and our most recent periodic report and which will be updated in future periodic reports that we file with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements that we make on this call are based on our beliefs and assumptions today, and we disclaim any obligation to update them. Also during the call, we'll present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures in today's earnings press release or slide deck posted on our IR website, along with a replay of this call. With that, I'll turn it over to Josh.

Thanks, Deb. Before we dive into our third quarter results, I want to acknowledge the news we announced earlier today. After 8.5 years as Etsy's CEO, I've decided that this is the right time for me to hand over the leadership baton to the next generation. Therefore, we'll be transitioning over the next few months, and I'll become Executive Chair, while the fabulously talented Kruti Patel Goyal takes the reins as our CEO effective January 1. It's been an incredible privilege to lead Etsy through several chapters of evolution and transformation, from the turnaround of 2017 to managing through the hyperscaling of the pandemic to steering us back towards growth again in a more app-centric, discovery centric world. We've adapted and evolved with creativity, agility, urgency and heart, all while keeping our sellers at the center of everything we do. Now in our third decade, Etsy is entering a new phase, one focused on harnessing AI to further personalize and transform the shopping experience in ways that were previously unimaginable. It's an exciting moment and perfect timing, I believe, for fresh perspective and a new leader. As you know, following an incredible 2-year run as Depop's CEO reigniting their growth, I asked Kruti to return to Etsy last year as Chief Growth Officer. Kruti has been a key part of Etsy's leadership for over 15 years, and she brings deep knowledge of and passion for our mission, marketplace, customers and community. Since coming back and ramping up, she's already made a significant impact on the business, evolving our strategic priorities, redefining how we measure success and shifting how we work. She's also already taken on leadership of many of our day-to-day operations. So it's natural and an exciting next step for her to become Etsy's next CEO. If I was…

Thank you, Josh, and good morning, everyone. Since returning to Etsy earlier this year, I've been reminded at every turn that this company is built on something rare in e-commerce today, creativity, human connection and purpose. So it's an incredible honor to be named our next CEO. I'm deeply grateful to our Board for their confidence in me and to Josh for his leadership, mentorship and support over so many years. He's led Etsy through extraordinary growth. Our customer base, GMS, revenue, profitability and market cap are all multiples larger than when he started. But Etsy isn't just bigger, Etsy is better and well positioned for our next chapter of growth. We'll continue to work closely together through this transition period, and I'm so pleased that Josh will remain a sounding board for our executive team and me as our Executive Chair. I'll now cover our 4 strategic priorities, which are working together to deliver tangible value to our customers and support sustainable growth. We're showing up where shoppers find inspiration, matching them with items that feel tailor-made for them, working to deepen loyalty across our community and amplifying what sets us apart, the creativity and authenticity of our sellers. Each priority fuels the next, creating a cycle of discovery, engagement and connection that truly differentiates Etsy. Starting with showing up where shoppers discover, we know today's shopping journey isn't linear. People find inspiration everywhere. To capture this behavior, we're meeting shoppers in more of those moments with content that feels personal and relevant. A great example of how we're capitalizing on the evolving shoppers journey is our partnership with OpenAI, which gives us an early foothold in a fast-growing high-intent discovery channel and helps to create another seamless path from inspiration to purchase. In September, Etsy became the first…

Thank you, Kruti. When I joined Etsy, I told our investors and analysts how much I have admired Josh's stewardship and transformation of this incredible business. I want to thank Josh for leading the company to where we are today and setting Etsy up for what comes next. And I can speak on behalf of the full executive team that we are incredibly excited to be part of this next phase of our journey with Kruti as the CEO. As we review our results, please keep in mind that we completed the sale of Reverb on June 2, and we've provided Reverb's Q3 2024 GMS and revenue so you can more easily separate the impact of that sale from the results of our ongoing business. Third quarter consolidated GMS was $2.72 billion, which exceeded the top end of our guidance range driven by better-than-expected results at both Etsy and Depop. Excluding Reverb from all periods, consolidated GMS grew 0.9% year-over-year and consolidated revenue grew 6.1% year-over-year to $678 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $172 million in the third quarter representing a consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.4%. Within that, Etsy marketplace margin was just shy of 30% for the quarter, and Depop's margin declined sequentially as we began to accelerate brand marketing to expand Depop's opportunity, particularly in the U.S. Etsy marketplace GMS was down 2.4% year-over-year in the third quarter and down 3.2% year-to-year on an FX-neutral basis. While we're not satisfied with any decline in Etsy GMS, we are encouraged that year-to-year GMS comparisons continued the momentum established earlier this year and improved by another 300 basis points from Q2 to Q3. Importantly, we believe that initiatives aligned with the 4 priorities that Kruti described earlier were critical factors contributing to that progress. On the tariff and trade lane…

[Operator Instructions] Our first question will come from Maria Ripps with Canaccord.

Kruti, congrats and Josh, best of luck with the transition. I guess, I just wanted to ask about your OpenAI partnership. So is this integration available to sort of to all U.S. sellers? And how do you prioritize sort of listings that are included? And maybe secondly, can you maybe help us think through sort of the performance fee since Etsy's covering this fee, is it fair to think about this sort of an extension of your offsite ads? Or are there any sort of transaction cost on your end that you will not be incurring sort of to compensate for this additional fee? How should investors think about this?

Great. Yes, I'm happy to start. Thank you, Maria. First of all, we are incredibly excited about the opportunity for Etsy in a world of agentic commerce. And being the first partner to partner with OpenAI, we think, is a demonstration of the fact that we see a ton of opportunity where many others in e-commerce, I think, are feeling the need to play more defense. For many people in e-commerce, they're selling the exact same product that's for sale in many other places. And it just becomes a game of who can sell it cheaper and ship it faster. An agentic commerce is going to honor that for buyers. Etsy has something genuinely unique and different to offer. And so we think it's incredibly exciting that this is an opportunity for many consumers to raise consideration of Etsy and a lot of purchase occasions where they may not have thought of Etsy. And for the big model builders, they're interested in really unique pools of data, which Etsy offers unlike most and a really strong engineering culture that can actually keep up with them. And so our ability to be at the front edge of this we think positions us really well to help shape what agentic commerce can be. What kinds of data they're ingesting, how they're presenting it to their buyers, how our brand is presented, for example, which is very important to us. And so being at the table early, we think, is really critical. Maria, specifically to your questions, we -- OpenAI and the others will scrape Etsy and organically provide Etsy listings as part of their organic experience. But if you want to actually purchase the way that works, we provide a data feed directly to OpenAI that they consume and the products that are in that data feed, which is the substantial majority of Etsy's products that actually allows a buyer to actually complete the transaction within OpenAI. And importantly, that still goes through Etsy's Payment rails. So it still shows up as a guest checkout on an Etsy customer, and it's very clear to the customer that they're buying from Etsy. We pay a commission, a success-based transaction fee to OpenAI for each of those purchases. And it's not unlike what we would pay to an influencer, for example, or an affiliate. So it's a CPA-based transaction fee. At this time, we are not passing that through to our sellers. So it's not part of our offsite ads program, and we'll consider as time goes on, how to think about that.

Your next question will come from Steve Forbes with Guggenheim.

Congrats all around. Maybe for Kruti and Josh, maybe love to hear maybe from Kruti on this one. Given the recent changes, you mentioned sort of improvements in engagement on the app. I'd love for you maybe to just expand on that, sort of what you've seen on the engagement front, given the changes in screen real estate towards discovery. And then curious, any initial thoughts on how the recent learnings are impacting or informing your product development plans for next year as we continue this journey -- this return to growth journey and hopefully continue to see GMS trends improve next year.

Sure. I can start that out, and then feel free to add on. So on the app side, as you mentioned, we've made some meaningful investments in reshaping what the home screen looks like. And that's really intended to deliver on that first priority that we talked about showing up in a way that really enables discovery on Etsy. And so what you've seen is that we've gone from what was essentially trying to guess exactly what it is that you wanted when you first open the app to now giving you multiple windows and doorways into Etsy. And so you'll see that at the top of the home screen with that central hub that we mentioned, where you can not only pick up where you left off last but look at things that are like what you favoured it before or items that you've added to a collection before. And then below that, we've invested in ML to power a much more discovery focused feed of items that are really intended to anticipate what else you might like next that you haven't necessarily engaged with in the past. And that's been basically through leveraging new ML models that are really deciphering what interest you as a buyer might have, and then connecting that to what items match those interests. And we're seeing a meaningful uplift in the engagement in the home screen, particularly through that feed. And we're really encouraged by that. How this is playing into our product development plans more broadly? We're really encouraged by the progress that the teams have made very quickly against all the 4 priorities, the strategic priorities that we've laid out. And we're really encouraged by the early traction that we're seeing from them. We're seeing really great momentum and early indications of growth across metrics. And so what that does is that gives us confidence in the priorities that we have set and continuing to deepen our focus in those as we go into next year. Really, these 4 priorities address accelerating the entire flywheel for us through driving discovery, engagement and connection in ways that we think are going to affect all the metrics that drive our marketplace growth. And so the early traction that we're seeing is encouraging and indicates that we'll continue to invest across these 4 priorities.

And a couple of nuggets we gave in the call, app -- people who've downloaded and are using our app visit 5x more often than people that are web only. And in each of those visits on average, they see 3x as many pages. So they're visiting more often, and their engagement is a lot higher and as Kruti's talking about that flywheel, that gives us an opportunity to get to know them so much better. So that each visit we're able to become a lot more personalized and we've talked for so many years about the consideration opportunity at Etsy. The people think of us for home furnishings or they think of us for clothing or they think of us for gifts. And we want them where we can serve so many of their needs. And of course, you can buy TV ads saying, think of us for lots of things. But the best way to do it is when you're on Etsy to show you not only the thing you came for, but also to exposure to really cool things, you didn't even think to ask of, so you broaden your understanding of Etsy. And that's the flywheel where -- we're encouraged by the early results we're seeing from these efforts.

I'm going to pile on just to say that all of that also is powering our owned media channels. And so the data that we're gathering about those app users when they're visiting much more frequently, when they're looking at many more pages, when they're responding to the ML prompts that we are providing to them is helping us profile them, which is helping us better target our outbound e-mail and push notifications, which are becoming -- quickly becoming a really prominent and very high return marketing channel for Etsy. So the flywheel connects through the marketing as well.

Our next question will come from Anna Andreeva with Piper Sandler.

Great. And let me add my congrats as well to Kruti and Josh. Josh, you will be missed. But yes, congrats, guys. We had a follow-up on the guide for the fourth quarter. So great to hear about the sequential improvement at core Etsy GMS. Are you seeing further improvement here in 4Q, just given the momentum of the initiatives and the easy compares that the business is lapping? And just curious, talk about maybe how you approach the holiday. Any specific opportunities for the business? We had a shortened holiday last year, which was not a positive. What could Gift Mode do this year? So curious on that. And then, Kruti, maybe it's early for this question, but Etsy's profitability is some of the highest among the peer set. Just strategically, do you think there's an opportunity to invest more just to reignite growth even faster? Or do you think it's important to preserve profitability?

Let me talk first about the outlook for the fourth quarter GMS. As we said, the consumer outlook remains uncertain. There's probably a higher degree of uncertainty around the consumer going into this holiday season than there has been for prior seasons, for some prior seasons anyway. But our assumption is that, if the consumer health stays about where it has been year-to-date into the fourth quarter. So that's the sort of underlying macroeconomic consideration. When we look at the progress we've made since the start of this year to where we are today, we believe a lot of that progress has been a reflection of the things that we've done on the initiatives that Kruti talked about earlier. And we expect to continue to make that progress into the fourth quarter. So as you look at the ranges that we've outlined for the fourth quarter, as Josh said in his prepared remarks, at the midpoint of the outlook range, it would equate to a further sequential improvement in the year-over-year growth rate for our consolidated picture as well as for the Etsy business. And we think that's -- we provided a range at the upper end of the range, it would probably be in a healthier consumer and more progress in our own initiatives and the lower end of the range might mean a little bit more challenging consumer environment. We've really tried to provide you the best picture we have today with what the fourth quarter looks like, and that's what's put into our outlook.

For our holiday season, we've got a really exciting campaign planned that really leans into the humanity of Etsy. What makes Etsy really different than the fact that you are seeing what's special in the other person and recognizing what's meaningful in the other person. It's a really great set of campaigns that will be reaching people where they consume media now, which is very different than where they have in prior years. So we're really excited about that. And on Gift Mode, in particular, it's really now deeply integrated into search and the core home screen. And so instead of having to go to a separate tab for it, it's really integrated into the core experience. And as we're getting better and better at recommendations with these new ML models, we're also getting even better at finding the perfect gift for you, both through edited and curated gift lists and then ML just for you. So we're super excited about that.

And then on the last part of your question, it is early to comment on the specifics there. But what I will say is that we have seen the profitability of our marketplace is the real strength of our marketplace. And we've always been really disciplined and thoughtful about our investments. And so I would point to Depop as really a great example of where we've been willing to make deeper investments where we think there is a lot of opportunity. And just to step back and talk about that for a moment. I'm really proud of what we've been able to accomplish at Depop. We went from 3 years of flat GMS to 2 years of accelerating growth. And over that time, we nearly doubled the scale of GMS and the number of active users and tripled the number of listings on the platform. And I think all of that goes to show that we've really achieved incredible product market fit and the growth is not just momentum, it's sustained growth based on that product market fit. And so this is really the perfect time to be making that step-up in investment against marketing Depop to really increase the exposure that we're giving to people who may not have heard of Depop before, but for whom the value proposition is really relevant and will resonate. And so I would just look to that as an example for us of when and where we think there are really great opportunities to invest more, we will absolutely take them. And we continue to see our profitability profile as strength of the business.

Your next question will come from Bryan Smilek with JPMorgan.

Congrats on seeing the good improvement in execution overall. Kruti, as you step into the CEO role, can you just elaborate a bit more on how you strategically are thinking about driving sustained GMS growth here? Is it more of the same execution or leveraging the Depop playbook across product marketing? Or is there just anything else to keep in mind?

You're right. My focus is squarely on delivering robust sustainable growth, and that has been my focus since the moment I stepped back here at Etsy from Depop. And so one of the nice things about the way that this transition is playing out is that you're -- I've had the ability to really lay the groundwork for growth over this last year. So you're already seeing the investments and the changes that we think are going to be really critical to driving growth next year and over time. And so the way that I would think about it is that we step back and said, what are the things that we really need to do to strengthen the value proposition of Etsy for our -- both our buyers and our sellers, our entire community. That's what really underpins the 4 strategic priorities that we've laid out, really driving that flywheel of discovery, engagement and connection, all with human connection at the center of what makes Etsy different. And I think we all feel very encouraged by the quick progress that we've made, the quick time to market against many of these priorities and the early traction that we're seeing. We are excited about the traction, but we're far from satisfied with the growth that we're seeing. So there is a ton of potential ahead. And because we see these working, you can expect us to continue to invest in these strategic priorities going into next year.

Our next question will come from Eric Sheridan with Goldman Sachs.

Just wanted to come back to loyalty and rewards and sort of build on that as a broader conversation piece. What have been your key learnings so far as you've rolled out more loyalty on the platform? How do those learnings inform the innovation or iteration of loyalty you're announcing today that looks like it's going into beta this week? And how should we think about the GMS opportunity attached to loyalty over the longer term?

Sure. I can start on that, and then please feel free to add on. So look, at the core of this priority around loyalty is the idea that Etsy should get better and better for our customers as they use it more and more. That's true for buyers and sellers, but let's talk about buyers in this case since you asked about the loyalty program. I think there are 2 main ways that Etsy can feel like that, can feel like it's getting better as you use it more. The first is what we were talking about earlier, which is our investments in personalization. It's really the #1 way that we can show our buyers that we really understand them that we're paying attention to all of the signals that they give us, and that's informing an experience that feels really tailor-made just for them that we think drives engagement -- the ongoing engagement and loyalty over time. Another piece of that is our investment in the Etsy Insider Loyalty beta program. And as you noted, we are evolving that program into version 2.0 of our beta. What we've learned from the initial version is that the rewards that we offered both drove adoption of the loyalty program and drove a meaningful uplift in frequency of engagement and purchasing. And so that was a really important learning from this first version. What we're changing in this next version is we're really reorienting it to really focus on our more frequent buyers. So again, to that point of making sure it feels like you are recognized and rewarded for the time and investment that you make in Etsy. And so the changes that we're making are really around the reward structure, so that the benefits that you get are benefits that you experience with every purchase. So shipping discounts on every purchase, rewards, Etsy credit back on every purchase. And what we're looking for is, again, to see continued adoption, frequency of engagement, frequency of purchasing and over time, renewal rates in that loyalty program. So that's the goal. And as we learn more, we'll share that.

I would just say from a -- thinking about the GMS opportunity, I would start out by thinking about Etsy generating $120 in GMS per buyer on a 12-month time frame. And our opportunity to increase purchase frequency through rewards and through incentives and through retention benefits, that's a huge lever for us. We feel like that number -- we know we've got plenty of customers who are spending 5 and 10x that amount with us in a given year. And we're lining up programs and marketing and communication personalization, all these things to induce more of our customers to think of Etsy earlier on and the leverage point really comes back to that GMS per buyer in the long term.

Your next question will come from Youssef Squali with Truist.

Excellent. Congrats all around. So maybe first question for Josh or Kruti, and this is really a follow-up to the prior question, but how do you balance the push for traffic from these GenAI platforms versus maybe direct/mobile where arguably the value that accrues to Etsy over time is higher? And then, Lanny, can you maybe unpack a little bit more the nature of the investments planned for Depop in Q4, which will compress margins near term? Is this a 1 quarter type of phenomenon around the holidays? Or is this more structural going forward?

I'm happy to start with the agentic commerce. The great news for Etsy is I don't think that it's a zero-sum game. I don't think it's an or. I think it's an and. I think people are going to shop agenticly sometimes. And when they do so, I think the smart agents are not going to say, here's the answer. Very rarely is there one right answer. I think they're going to provide a range of choice. They're going to say, for example, this is the cheapest thing you can buy. This is the thing that will arrive the fastest. And this is the thing that's most special or unique. And in that offering of here's a few curated choices, I think disproportionately Etsy is going to be presented and is going to win and a lot more often than consumers on their own might have thought of Etsy. And in all of those presentations, whether they buy that particular thing from Etsy or not, they're going to be constantly reminded, oh, Etsy has something to offer for you. And those customers are also going to go and launch their app. It's going to prompt people to think, "Oh, Etsy is so relevant for me so often." And I don't think in any near-term future, people are going to -- most people are going to exclusively shop via agents. They use agents sometimes, and they'll continue to use the app sometimes. And I think it's going to actually be a virtuous cycle that accrues disproportionately to Etsy's benefit.

In terms of the marketing investment, thanks for that question. Kruti said earlier, this is a really big market. We have a strong position. We have a product at Depop and a value proposition that we feel really good about. And it's an opportunity right now to really make this business quite a bit bigger and more valuable in the long term, and we're going after that pretty aggressively. The big opportunity for us in the near term, Youssef, is to expand the awareness of this great product and this great service. And so it's a brand campaign. It's not going to be concluded in 3 months. It will carry over into the first half of next year. It will take some time, frankly, for us to be able to really assess how we're performing, and we're committed to staying with that brand investment through the time that it will take to be sure that we're really expanding awareness of that product. We really like the long-term opportunity here. So it will be -- it will compress margins in this quarter, and we'll continue to make that investment going forward. Now if things look a lot better than we thought, we might step it up. If it doesn't look like it's going as we expect, we can be very maneuverable on our spending there. But our intention right now, given where we are and what we see in this marketplace is to invest there for the longer-term play in that business. Over the last couple of years, as we've leaned into the product and improved it and grown users as we've -- and they've grown really quickly, that business has demonstrated an ability to deliver very high percentage of incremental revenue growth down to the bottom line. So we know, trust and believe in its long-term profitability. We just really want to change at scale.

The cool thing on that is there's a huge opportunity for the core Etsy business in the future, but there is also a huge opportunity in Depop. Can Depop be the Venmo to our PayPal. Depop, I think we think can be on its own a multibillion-dollar asset. And so what you're seeing is us take a discrete amount of investment dollars to invest in marketing. We think it's got a good chance of working. We'll be measured and disciplined about how we track progress there. If it doesn't work, we can turn it off. But we think it's likely to work, and we think there's huge potential for Depop.

Your next question will come from Shweta Khajuria with Wolfe Research. Shweta, it appears your microphone is open but we're not able to hear you, you need to select a different input [Operator Instructions]. We're still not hearing, Shweta. Why don't we go to our next question and we will return to you. Our next question will come from Nikhil Devnani with Bernstein.

And Josh, thank you for all the help over the years, and congrats to Kruti as well. I wanted to follow up on the OpenAI theme. I think there's clearly some benefit that you and other marketplaces can realize in terms of incremental traffic and engagement in GMS. But investors are starting to worry longer term about what this means from a retention of buyer perspective and what it means for direct traffic and core profit pools for businesses like yours with on-site ads. So when you evaluated this partnership, how did you kind of think about the risk/reward longer term of something like this?

Yes. I think Etsy is different than a lot of places in that -- we have a lot of confidence in our value prop. We have a lot of confidence in the importance of our brand. Etsy is a community of over 5 million unbranded sellers selling unbranded items. And we know that when they set up their own shop and try to market themselves, it's very, very difficult for them to rise above the noise. But the Etsy brand next to their shop really helps to instill confidence in buyers and helps to elevate their product, their shop. So we know that Etsy as a brand should be pulled through in the agentic experience. When you're shopping with an agent, you want to see it's this seller powered by Etsy. And we have a lot of confidence in that value prop because we've seen it tested in the real world. So we know it makes sense to pull the Etsy brand through and have the Etsy brand be prominent. It's also been my experience from decades of doing this, that customer behavior changes much more slowly than people think. We will have an app, I believe, for many years to come, and people are going to shop agenticly. And both are going to be good and both are going to be complementary. But the great news here is that we think Etsy really does genuinely add a lot of value to our sellers and to our buyers. And I think that the agentic commerce is only going to help make that more prominent to customers and be a real win-win for all of us. The other thing is our position being an early adopter which comes from the fact that we have such a large set of inventory and a strong engineering culture means we're really at the table to help shape what this experience can be. How is it presented to the buyer? What do the economics look like? We are really at the table there. And I think that is exactly where you'd want to be in such a titanic ship like this.

Yes. One thing that I would add there is if you just like getting into the mindset of the consumer for a moment, it's really important that we are showing up where they are discovering. And this is a really great example of that. I think that we will continue to evolve as shopping behavior evolves. This is a great example. Josh, we mentioned earlier that the importance of our brand showing up in those moments, both to give buyers trust in the shops that they're looking at, but also every interaction through any channel, including agentic shopping is a reminder of Etsy and the brand so that the next time you're shopping, you're reminded to consider Etsy. So we think that it actually creates a real virtuous cycle whatever channels shoppers are shopping on. Great. All right. Hopefully, we can get Shweta back.

For our next question, we'll return to Shweta. Unfortunately, we still cannot hear you, Shweta. Yes, unfortunately, we still cannot hear you, Shweta. So we are going to go to our next. For our next question, we'll go to Ygal Arounian with Citi.

Josh, we'll certainly miss working with you and Kruti, congrats on the new role. Let's see, maybe just like a quick follow-up first on the agentic AI opportunity. And first, do you think -- well, actually, I guess, first of all, I know it's super early, it might just be a very annoying question, but are there any early insights to what you've seen with the partnership so far, things like convert rates or average selling price, things like that? And is there an Etsy Ads or Offsite Ads opportunity with this as well? And then a follow-up question, just with the trends overall getting better here and starting to see some nice progress. I know we've moved away sort of from the House of Brands mentality. But just wanted to get updated thoughts on M&A capital allocation, if there's more opportunities to kind of the resale market grow here to kind of tag along with Depop.

I can take the OpenAI, you can take [ capital question ]. So yes, not an annoying question at all. We're tracking very closely what's happening with the data from agentic commerce. So what I'd say is with the partnership, we definitely saw a spike in purchases from that, but off of a very, very small base. And so good growth but off a very small base. The early data is that the traffic coming from agents is higher intent than traffic even that we normally get from search. So the conversion rate is even higher. However, I would again emphasize that it's a very small data set still. And so while we are very optimistic about this over a period of years, it's still very early days.

And from the capital allocation and your question about M&A and House of Brands, we've got 2 incredible brands in Etsy and in Depop. And if there were other brands that were similarly interesting and attractive, exciting to us, we might look at them. But from a -- we've been buying back our stock pretty aggressively over the last couple of years with a belief that the brands that we have are -- have tremendous long-term value in them. We've changed the momentum, we believe, at Etsy, and as -- we're not satisfied where we are, but we've made some progress, and we think we've got the plans to get the Etsy business into a stronger long-term sustainable growth mode. And Depop has got great growth under sort of looking back, and this really attractive opportunity right now for us to deploy more capital into it. So I guess what I'd wrap it up by saying is we really like our financial resources, and we really like the assets we have, and we're going to keep leaning into them very aggressively right now.

Okay. Operator, we can get one more in.

Your next question will come from Robert Coolbrith with Evercore.

Josh and Kruti, congratulations to both of you on the transition. A couple of questions. So just on the agentic commerce, Kruti, you spoke during the call about the tailwinds you're seeing from improved buyer understanding. Just wanted to ask if you think there's a continued opportunity there in agentic context. Do you think there's going to be a meaningful sort of agent-to-agent communication and associated optimization opportunity in those channels over time? And then, Lanny, a quick follow-up. Can you just maybe help us size a bit the exogenous factors, the de minimis impact to the extent you saw it over the course of Q3?

Sure. So I can start with -- look, we think there are a lot of exciting possibilities ahead, both what you mentioned and others that we haven't even considered yet. I think our investment in deepening buyer understanding is going to serve us in any of those paths ahead with whatever opportunities present. The team has done a really incredible job of moving very quickly to take advantage of these -- the evolving capabilities of AI and LLMs to really deepen our buyer understanding in a way that is showing up most prominently right now in terms of the models that we're deploying on-site, so in our on-site and on-app experience, both across search and recommendations. And so those are some of the improvements to engagement that I mentioned earlier, especially on the app and some of the improvements to conversion on search and ads that I mentioned in the prerecorded remarks. So we are excited about the possibility that, that deepening buyer understanding opens up, and we'll certainly leverage that as new opportunities come up in channels like agentic search as well.

Can I just build on that for just a sec. One of the ways that customers are trained right now is to give 3 keywords or 2 keywords. And Etsy has just an unusually vast amount of inventory of really neat things that are relevant, and people are suddenly being trained to give paragraphs of information and context. And that's going to be exceptionally helpful to us in getting into the very perfect thing. So we're super excited about that.

On a quick tour of exogenous factors, the foreign currencies were about the same in the third quarter as they were in the second quarter. The competitive dynamic continued to allow us to gain opportunistically some search market share, as we described. And from a trade and tariff perspective, there -- we've seen the resilience in Etsy marketplace of stronger growth in U.S. domestic with a little bit slower growth in the international imports in the United States, right around a couple of weeks of the end of the de minimis exemption, we saw a little bit of pause in the marketplace, but that came back and was a very modest headwind for the total quarter.

Great. All right. We are out of time. Thanks, everyone, for [ joining ] this morning.

Thank you all.

Thank you.

Thank you.
