Analyst · William Blair. Your line is now open
Thanks, Shawn. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our Q2, 2022 earnings call. We are pleased to report another strong quarter with record revenue and gross profits. We deliver an 89% revenue growth and 217% gross profit growth year-over-year in Q2. We reduced our adjusted EBITDA loss by $4.4 million quarter-over-quarter to $8.3 million, making significant progress to being adjusted EBITDA positive in 2023. We are rapidly delivering on our mission to build a leading global digital manufacturing marketplace, transforming one of the largest industries in the world. While we're still in the early innings of the secular shift to the digital for manufacturing, Fortune 1000 companies are increasingly rethinking their supply chains and manufacturing strategies. Xometry is uniquely positioned to meet their needs to the breadth of our platform across verticals, processes, and capabilities. Likewise, we are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of our suppliers through our growing suite of suppliers services. At the end of Q2, we hosted our first Xometry summit to showcase product releases that enabled Xometry to increasingly become the de facto operating system for buyers and suppliers to connect and deliver in our over $2 trillion market. By providing buyers with more choices, we will capture more of their spend, and gradually become their One-Stop Shop for all their needs. The same thing is true for the suppliers, many of whom are not currently Xometry partners. With our new cloud-based software platform Xometry Workcenter, we aim to be the operating system for hundreds of thousands of suppliers. We are opening up work center to third party developers to create integrated applications to benefit suppliers. If we can find additional ways to provide value to those suppliers, the size of our supplier base will grow exponentially. For those who did not see the event, it is archived@live.xometry.com. I will discuss these launches in more detail later in the call. Since our founding in 2013, Xometry has grown very quickly. This growth has continued unimpeded during the disruptive events over the last two years, proving that our marketplace can deliver durable growth, irrespective of the macro environment. Our unique ability to match buyers and suppliers in real time, and our weekly updates to our AI driven pricing model provides reliable pricing and predictable margins, even during periods of inflation. Likewise, with their supplier network expanding domestically and abroad, we offer customers resilient supply chain. Moving on to our Q2 results, I will provide a review of our second quarter performance and provide an update on key business initiatives, including the recent launches of the new industrial buying engine on Thomasnet and Workcenter. Then, I will turn the call over to our CFO Jim Rallo for a more in-depth review of our financial results and outlook. We had a strong Q2 with revenues of $95.6 million driven by accelerated marketplace growth and expanding supplier services with the addition of Thomas. Q2 marketplace revenue was $75.6 million, growing over 55% year-over-year and 17% quarter-over-quarter. Marketplace revenue consists entirely of the historical Xometry business, excluding Xometry supplies and financial services. Marketplace revenue growth was driven by continued strong growth in active buyers and the rapid adoption of the platform by larger accounts across both North America and Europe. Likewise, we experienced strong year-over-year growth in many of the different manufacturing processes offered in our marketplace. In Q2, active buyers increased 40% year-over-year to 33,491, adding a record 2,808 in Q2. We saw strength across multiple verticals including automotive, electronics and semiconductors, robotics and automation, as well as ongoing strength in general manufacturing. The number of accounts with last 12 months spend of at least $50,000 increased 76% year over year to 894, adding a record 104 accounts in Q2. As we've discussed in our Q1 call, we continue to see growing traction and production orders from several customers across industries and manufacturing processes, including robotic assemblies in agriculture, and injection molding for an electrical vehicle company. Given the success for a land and expand strategy, we continue to invest in our enterprise sales engine. Q2 supplier services revenue was $20 million, including Thomas which we acquired in December of 2021. The vast majority of supplier services revenue is the Thomas marketing services and advertising business, plus historical Xometry supplies and financial services. We provide convenient access to supplies, enabling manufacturers to lower their cost of operations. We also improve their cash flow through our growing basket of FinTech products. With Thomas, we've expanded our baskets supplier services, including marketing and advertising solutions. Our international business continues to deliver strong growth, with revenue increasing 136% year-over-year. In Q2, we further expanded our sales presence in the UK, Germany, France and Nordic regions. Alongside strong top line growth, Europe continues to rapidly expand gross margins, underscoring the success and demand for our marketplace across geographies. In addition, we formally launched the platform in China at Xometry.asia in late Q1 and began taking orders from Chinese customers in April. We are pleased with the initial launch and continue to scale up the in country team and supplier base and expect China to contribute to revenue growth in 2023. On top of strong revenue growth, gross profit grew 217% year-over-year in Q2, driven by significant improvements in marketplace gross margin and the addition of higher margin suppliers services. In Q2, marketplace gross margin increased 180 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 29.2% and increase significantly year-over-year. Over the past three years, marketplace gross margins have grown from 18% in 2019 to now to close to 30%. As our marketplace continues to scale, and as the number of transactions grow, our machine learning becomes smarter, driving better matches for buyers and suppliers, and helping improve gross margins. At the same time, we continue to ramp up our network of active suppliers, which further enables our marketplace to successfully match supply and demand and improve gross margins. The combination of these factors gives us significant competence in reaching our long term marketplace gross margin target of 35% to 40%. On top of strong financial results, Q2 marked the largest product release schedule in Xometry's history, as we introduce new products and services to provide an integrated solution for buyers and suppliers and further scale our networks. On June 29, we hosted our first Xometry summit with the theme of "Powering Tomorrow's Supply Chain". With Xometry's unique ability to match buyers and suppliers in real time, and through our expanding supplier networks in the United States and internationally, Xometry is helping buyers and suppliers come together and create locally resilient supply chains. At the event, we announced the launch of the Industrial Buying Engine on thomasnet.com. The Industrial Buying Engine helps enterprise customers source and purchase from a large network of suppliers, all within the thomasnet.com ecosystem. The Industrial Buying Engine provides buyer choice, including Xometry's instant quoting engine for those customers who want to buy it now. It also digitizes the cumbersome and time consuming request-for-quote process, taking what was once done off platform and integrating it into the heart of thomasnet.com. The buyer gets to work with trusted high value suppliers and benefits from the convenience of a secure checkout, payment options and customer support. Suppliers benefit from additional exposure to high quality buyers, and can take advantage of convenient payment options. With the Industrial Buying Engine, we're creating an incremental and scalable revenue stream on thomasnet.com. We are pleased with early activity in the Industrial Buying Engine and are seeing healthy buyer demand at the top of the funnel, as the number of projects initiated is beginning to scale at a good pace, and we're seeing increased engagement on the platform from suppliers. As we review the data and receive feedback from buyers and suppliers in the IBE, we are regularly making changes to the user experience to optimize transaction flows. Also at the summit, we introduce our new cloud-based software Workcenter to help suppliers digitize all aspects of their operation. Workcenter is a fully featured all-in-one manufacturing execution system that gives suppliers a one-stop view into all their orders. The freemium version of the software was developed with the acquisition of FactoryFour in Q4 of 2021. Xometry Workcenter brings everything our suppliers love about Xometry, like our popular job board and our financial services, and everything they love about Thomasnet, all into one easy to use system.By digitizing all aspects of their operations, it lets manufacturers focus on what they need to do to grow their business and to attract new buyers. One of the best features of Workcenter is that our suppliers can use it to manage all of their work, including work from their non Xometry customers. All the cash flow benefits suppliers know and love are integrated seamlessly in the Xometry Workcenter. Through the shop finances dashboard, suppliers can track payouts, take advantage of our InstantPay, FastPay and Advance Card financial products. We are pleased with the adoption of active suppliers and workcenter since the launch. Additionally, we're opening up the API-enabled workcenter to third-party developers. By expanding the ecosystem, we can provide a rapidly expanding supplier base with even more innovative products and services. Additionally, late in Q2, we expanded the menu on our marketplace, extending our quoting capabilities into new categories based on the data and suppliers from the Thomas Network. Buyers can choose from expanded categories and processes. The new processes include laser tube cutting and tube bending. These processes improve the marketplace ability to offer production orders, and increasingly become a one-stop shop for our buyers. We have limitless opportunities to fuel our growth. This year will see us expand our marketplaces domestically and abroad and deliver additional services to buyers and suppliers. Our TAM is over $2 trillion in the massive $35 trillion global manufacturing industry. We will continue to invest a further capitalize on our position as a leading two sided marketplace. In 2020, our revenue was $141 million. In 2022, we expect that to nearly tripled to $400 million. At the same time, we expect gross profit dollars to grow over fourfold with significant gross margin expansion. We are well on our path to adjusted EBITDA profitability. With that, I will turn the call over to our CFO, Jim Rallo, for a closer look at second quarter financial results and the business outlook.
