Did ETSY Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Etsy delivered a mixed second quarter, posting a sharp earnings miss alongside a modest revenue beat as the company navigated persistent headwinds in its core marketplace. The handmade and vintage e-commerce platform earned $0.25 per share, falling well short of the $0.49 consensus estimate, a 49.29% miss driven largely by a $25.44 million non-cash foreign exchange loss that weighed heavily on net income. Revenue, however, climbed 3.8% year-over-year to $672.66 million, topping the $647.63 million consensus by 3.86%, as a rising take rate, up 200 basis points to 24.0%, offset continued softness in gross merchandise sales. Consolidated GMS declined 4.8% to $2.81 billion, though Depop was a standout, with GMS surging 35.3% to $249.60 million, including 54% U.S. growth, as the resale platform hit an annualized $1.00 billion GMS run rate. With <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/07/30/live-will-etsy-nasdaq-etsy-soar-after-earnings-today/">shares rallying after results</a>, investors appeared to focus on the forward picture; management guided Q3 consolidated GMS of $2.60 billion to $2.70 billion, a 24.5% take rate, and a 25% adjusted EBITDA margin, signaling sequential improvement ahead.

“We are encouraged by our second quarter performance, which reflects tangible progress in our key investment areas. These efforts are designed to strengthen customer relationships on the Etsy marketplace, deepen buyer engagement, and reignite GMS growth. We're seeing early success in our efforts to build a more browsable shopping experience, particularly on our App, amplified by more personalized marketing and emergent AI technologies. We believe this is creating a significant runway for growth, as well as an opportunity to generate sustainable value for our stakeholders by capitalizing on what makes Etsy special.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q3 2025, Etsy guided consolidated GMS of $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion, a take rate of approximately 24.5%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25%. Management noted the Q3 GMS guidance represents a quarter-over-quarter improvement in the apples-to-apples growth rate at the midpoint and reflects sequential expansion and strong profitability for the core Etsy business, where adjusted EBITDA margins are consistently managed in the high-20% range. Guidance assumes currency exchange rates remain unchanged at current levels.
