Paid subscribers of over 2.7 million, up 15% over Q2 2022
Delivered 18th consecutive quarter of profitability with net income of $16.0 million

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, August 8, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut”) (NASDAQ: CRCT), the creative technology company that has brought a connected platform for making to millions of users worldwide, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
“We finished the quarter in line with our expectations and launched some important innovations. On July 18th, we launched Cricut Venture, the largest and fastest connected cutting machine on the Cricut Platform. Cricut Venture represents the fourth, all-new architecture of connected machines in our history and demonstrates our commitment to innovation. As part of the launch, we held our first in-person consumer event since 2020. We love the energy these events generate within our community and are planning to do more in-person customer events around new products and our Cricut platform. Despite the 3% sales decline from a year ago, we are encouraged by our subscriptions revenue and machines revenue growth which increased year over year 13% and 5%, respectively. Our international growth was positive, with 34% year over year growth. The Cricut platform now has over 8.4 million total users, up 17% over Q2 last year. This creates a tremendous opportunity for us to build deeper user engagement on our platform by helping them discover inspiration, design then make their projects and share them on our platform,” said Ashish Arora, Chief Executive Officer of Cricut.
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
•Revenue was $177.8 million, down 3% from Q2 2022.
•Connected machine revenue was $37.3 million, up 5% from Q2 2022.
•Subscriptions revenue was $76.1 million, up 13% over Q2 2022.
•Accessories and materials revenue was $64.4 million, down 20% from Q2 2022.
•International revenue increased by 34% over Q2 2022 and was 18% of total revenue, up from 13% of total revenue in Q2 2022.
•Gross margin was 49.3%, up from 46.5% in Q2 2022.
•Operating income was $19.3 million, or 10.8% of total revenue compared to $20.0 million, or 10.9% of revenue in Q2 2022.
•Net income was $16.0 million, or 9.0% of revenue. Net income in Q2 2022 was $13.8 million, or 7.5% of revenue.
•Diluted earnings per share was $0.07 up from $0.06 per share in Q2 2022.
•Generated $64.4 million in Cash from Operations in Q2 and $159.6 million year to date. Used $1.0 million to repurchase 104 thousand shares of our common stock in Q2 and year to date used $4.2 million to repurchase 451 thousand shares.
"We delivered our 18th consecutive quarter of positive net income and continue to generate healthy cash flow on an annual basis. Year to date, we have generated $159.6 million in cash from operations and ended Q2 with $361.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and we remain debt free. As part of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of capital allocation, we seek to balance multiple considerations, including ensuring that the Company has more than adequate liquidity and financial flexibility, evaluating opportunities to invest in our business to drive long-term shareholder returns (organically or through potential acquisitions) and returning
capital to our shareholders. We announced a $1 per share special dividend or $234.6 million in total, of which $232.2 million was distributed on July 17, 2023, while the remainder will be paid upon vesting of restricted shares.” said Kimball Shill, Chief Financial Officer of Cricut. “We remain committed to our long-term operating margin targets of 15-19%. Our proven model has demonstrated that when we operate at scale and drive top line growth, these margins are achievable.”

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include, but are not limited to, quotations from management, business outlook, strategies, market size and growth opportunities. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “targets,” “potential,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may” or similar terminology. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events, future results of operations or the ability to generate revenues, income or cash flow are
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on and reflect our current expectations, estimates, assumptions and/ or projections and our perception of historical trends and current conditions, as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events, circumstances or performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. There can be no assurance that our expectations, estimates, assumptions and/or projections will prove to be correct or that any of our expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are only made as of the date indicated on the relevant materials and are based on our estimates and opinions at the time the statements are made. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or changes in opinion, except as required by law.
Numerous factors could cause our actual results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with: our ability to attract and engage with our users; competitive risks; supply chain, manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment risks; international risks, including regulation and tariffs that have materially increased our costs and the potential for further trade barriers or disruptions; sales and marketing risks, including our dependence on sales to brick-and-mortar and online retail partners and our need to continue to grow online sales; risks relating to the complexity of our business, which includes connected machines, custom tools, hundreds of materials, design apps, e-commerce software, subscriptions, content, international production, direct sales and retail distribution; risks related to product quality, safety and warranty claims and returns; risks related to the fluctuation of our quarterly results of operations and other operating metrics; risks related to intellectual property, cybersecurity and potential data breaches; risks related to our dependence on our Chief Executive Officer; risks related to our status as a “controlled company”; and the impact of economic and geopolitical events, natural disasters and actual or threatened public health emergencies, current recessionary pressures and any resulting economic slowdown from any of these events, or other resulting interruption to our operations. These risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in the most recent form 10-Q that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
