Challenges Ahead
- Non-GAAP operating income guidance includes an expense related to the cost of implementing a new employee cash bonus program in the fourth quarter.
- Stock-based compensation-related charges are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and the future fair market value of common stock, which are difficult to predict.
- The company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time.
- The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on restricted stock unit settlements, option exercises, related stock price, and other factors that are beyond Klaviyo’s control.
- Klaviyo has not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income guidance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items excluded from GAAP cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time.
