- The integration of AI technologies, such as the new AI-powered card scanning experience and agentic search, has improved user experience and operational efficiency, leading to increased customer satisfaction and engagement.
- International GMV declined nearly 1% on an organic FX-neutral basis, impacted by challenging macroeconomic conditions in the UK and Germany.
- The company faces pressure from recent trade policy changes, including the removal of de minimis exemption for all countries, affecting cross-border volume growth.
- Non-GAAP gross margin declined by nearly 80 basis points year-over-year due to costs associated with managed shipping and authenticity guarantee programs.
