Analyst Q&A
Q: Last quarter discussed internal levers to reignite growth, talk about those levers and current progress.
A: Roadmap organized around discovery, pricing, shipping, and service. In Q1, made progress in each. For discovery, AI-driven metadata improvements in search drove 4% higher search success rate and reduced null search results by over 25%, visual search lined up for Q2, natural language search targeted for Q3. For shipping, integrated USPS reducing parcel rates on packages under 20 pounds by 30% to 50%, plan to launch ML-powered quoting tool and upgrade shipment tracking capabilities.
Q: On GMV growth returning by fourth quarter, need change in macro conditions?
A: Confident return not dependent on market recovery. In Q4, will begin lapping over 40% reduction in sales and marketing spend initiated in late 25, and product roadmap's compounding impact. Midpoint of Q2 guidance expects GMV growth rates to improve sequentially, and clear path to return to year-over-year growth by Q4. Product roadmap areas of discovery, price, service, and shipping are high impact, with progress in each and more opportunity ahead.
