In 2Q24, the company continued its strong revenue momentum, reaching $236.1 million in sales (+34% y/y), beating analysts' consensus by more than 3%. Although the growth rate is down compared to previous years, it still remains at high levels. It looks even better when compared to cost dynamics, which (at the operating level) increased by 24% y/y. Lower cost dynamics allowed the company to achieve the lowest share of costs in total sales in the last 5 quarters, which allowed the company to achieve a record high adjusted operating profit of $38.4 million (+131% y/y).
Strong operating results translated into an increase in adjusted EPS to $0.94 (more than doubling year-over-year profitability) versus consensus estimates of $0.56.
The company has been increasingly acquiring new large customers, and it is in this segment that the number of customers has grown the fastest (+49% y/y). However, it is worth remembering that this is mainly due to the effect of a low base (compared to the total number of customers with more than 10 returning users of 57,203).
