Shopify handily beat consensus fourth quarter estimates for both revenue and earnings and provided better-than-expected guidance for 2018.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce firm reported Thursday that revenues jumped 71 per cent year over year to $222.8 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31, ahead of consensus predictions of roughly $210 million (all figures U.S.)
And for 2017 as a whole, Shopify expects revenues of between $970 million and $990 million compared to the consensus view of $943 million.
Based its past tendency to beat estimates, Shopify should top $1 billion in sales this year for the first time.
The company’s net loss for the quarter narrowed to $3 million or three cents per share compared to a loss of $8.9 million or 10 cents per share during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Shopify is forecasting revenues in the current, first quarter of between $198 million and $200 million. While that’s down from the fourth quarter of 2017 (which included the holiday season’s spike in online sales), the first quarter guidance was better than the consensus estimate of $195 million by independent analysts. Shopify is also predicting continuing operating losses next year representing some 10 per cent of revenues.
The losses reflect Shopify’s strategy of investing heavily in marketing and developing new channel partners for its technology, which helps online merchants set up and operate websites. Among its partners now are eBay, Facebook, Amazon and Pinterest.
Shopify in recent quarters has also been targeting larger online customers.
Shopify has been on a hiring binge. At yearend 2017, its head count was nearly 3,000, up nearly 50 per cent from a year earlier.
The company finished 2017 with $938 million cash on its books.
More to come.
