SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), a global marketplace for shared experiences, reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. The Fourth Quarter 2024 Shareholder Letter can be found on Eventbrite’s Investor Relations website at https://investor.eventbrite.com.
“In the fourth quarter, we delivered revenue at the upper end of our outlook range and exceeded our Adjusted EBITDA margin target for fiscal year 2024,” said Julia Hartz, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Chair. “The strategic decisions we made in 2024, including refocusing on ticketing growth, strengthening our creator offering, and enhancing the consumer experience, are delivering results. Total and free ticket volumes returned to growth in the quarter, and year-to-year comparisons in paid tickets, paid transacting creators, and paid events improved from the third quarter. With a clear roadmap for 2025 and a disciplined approach to execution, we believe we are well-positioned to drive sustained improvement, scale our marketplace, and unlock long-term value.”

Business Outlook
Based on current information, the company anticipates net revenue for the first quarter of 2025 will be within the range of $71 to $74 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage in the mid-single digits, excluding non-routine items.
Full year 2025 will be a transition year as the company laps the impacts of organizer fees.
Going forward, Ticketing and Ads will essentially comprise Eventbrite’s revenue. The company expects a continued recovery in ticketing trends, with paid ticket volume returning to growth in the second half of the year. Also, the company anticipates Eventbrite Ads to continue to deliver growth throughout the year.
The company expects the elimination of organizer fees to result in an approximately $20 million revenue headwind compared to 2024.
As a result of the continued recovery in ticketing revenue and the elimination of organizer fees, the company expects full year net revenue will be within a range of $295 million to $310 million. The company expects an Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage in the mid-single digits, excluding non-routine items, with the decline in year-over-year margin primarily driven by the loss of high-margin organizer fee revenue.
We have not provided an outlook for GAAP net loss or GAAP net loss margin or reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss or expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net loss margin, because GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss margin on a forward-looking basis are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and complexity of the items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, such as stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and other non-recurring expenses.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is helpful to investors in understanding and evaluating results of operations and useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business performance as they are metrics used by management in assessing the health of the company’s business and operating performance, making operating decisions, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as we calculate them, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Some amounts in this press release may not add due to rounding.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, employer taxes related to employee transactions, other (income) expense net, which consists of foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital spending that occurs off of the income statement or account for future contractual commitments, (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest and principal required to service our indebtedness. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-routine items. When evaluating performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and other GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because of the limitations described above, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), net income (loss) margin, and other GAAP results.
