Forward Guidance
Liquidity Services provided Q4-FY21 guidance, expecting continued growth and market adoption of online economy.
Positive Outlook
- Continued spending for the implementation of tools enabling omni-channel behavioral marketing, expanded analytics, and buyer/seller payment optimization.
- Increased spending in business development activities to capture market opportunities.
- Stabilized macroeconomic factors that most directly influence the recovery rates of asset categories, such as transportation assets.
- Continued growth and expansion resulting from the continuing acceleration of broader market adoption of the online economy, particularly in our GovDeals and RSCG seller accounts and programs.
- Continued growth in Machinio subscription activity.
Challenges Ahead
- Marketplace seasonality converging back to prior trends; sellers have historically made lower volumes of assets available for sale in our fiscal Q4 as compared to fiscal Q3.
- Continued mix shift to consignment pricing model which will lower revenue as a percent of GMV but improve gross profit margins.
- Continued variability in project size and timing within our CAG segment, especially as COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and the ability to conduct cross-border transactions.
- No change in the nature of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the United States.
- GMV - We expect GMV for Q4-FY21 to range from $225 million to $240 million.
