Positive Outlook
- Etsy can become the starting point for a buyer’s e-commerce journey.
- Double down on frequency and trust building initiatives that inspire buyers with an Etsy that feels more ‘made for you’ and reliable, to drive buyer and seller loyalty.
- Strengthening the foundation of our ‘House of Brands,’ scaling our infrastructure and safeguards to efficiently and sustainably power our growth.
- Fostering an equitable and productive environment for our people.
- Long-term growth strategy, focused on highly differentiated and defensible competitive advantages within what we believe is an enormous, $2 trillion total available retail market for our relevant categories in our core markets
Challenges Ahead
- Times remain uncertain
- Assuming stable macroeconomic conditions, we currently expect lower GMS growth year over year in the first half of 2022 and higher GMS growth in the second half, given the more challenging comparisons in the first half.
- Continue to invest in our people, product development, marketing, technology, and important infrastructure to scale our business.
- High variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures
- Unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.
