NEW YORK -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX) (the “Company”), today reported financial results for first quarter 2026. In addition, the Company provided its outlook for the second quarter and reiterated expectations for the full year 2026. Please visit the Wix Investor Relations website at https://investors.wix.com to view the Q1'26 Shareholder Update and other materials.

“As innovation in the web and app building space has accelerated over the past few quarters, my conviction in its long-term value and Wix’s market positioning remains strong,” said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO. “We recently built our own proprietary LLM that is now powering Wix Harmony. By allowing us to continuously fine-tune our platform using our own data and user feedback at scale, this model creates a flywheel that we believe is unmatched and creates a significant competitive advantage. Importantly, our model empowers us with more control of AI inference costs as we scale the Harmony platform with little to no reliance on third party LLMs. We expect this to be the first of many custom Wix-built AI models, which is becoming increasingly central to our product roadmap and long-term profitability strategy.”

Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix, added, “Bookings from our Q1’26 new user cohort increased almost 50% year-over-year, with meaningful contribution from Base 44 and healthy core Wix new cohort performance. Core Wix Creative Subscriptions gross margin was stable as AI costs remained minimal, and we expect margins to remain unchanged as we control costs while we scale our platform through the year, particularly Harmony. The high-impact investments that we are making today are unlocking massive opportunities and new audiences, allowing for consistent TROI even on higher marketing spend as monetization steadily increases. We also have executed on our capital allocation plan from the beginning of the year, with the completion of our $1.6 billion modified tender offer in early April. By repurchasing nearly 30% of Wix’s outstanding shares quickly and efficiently, I believe we are generating significant value for our shareholders.”

^{1 Transaction revenue is a portion of Business Solutions revenue, and we define transaction revenue as all revenue generated through transaction facilitation, primarily from Wix Payments, as well as Wix POS, shipping solutions and multi-channel commerce and gift card solutions.
2 Partners revenue is defined as revenue generated through agencies and freelancers that build sites or applications for other users (“Agencies”) as well as revenue generated through B2B partnerships, such as LegalZoom or Vistaprint (“Resellers”). We identify Agencies using multiple criteria, including but not limited to, the number of sites built, participation in the Wix Partner Program and/or the Wix Marketplace or Wix products used (incl. Wix Studio). Partners revenue includes revenue from both the Creative Subscriptions (including Base44) and Business Solutions businesses.}

Financial Outlook

Despite a softer start to the year in our Partners business, our conviction in our broader near-term strategy and AI-focused product roadmap remains unchanged. Importantly, key initiatives, such as Harmony and Base44, continue to perform well.

As such, we are maintaining our previous full year 2026 outlook and continue to expect both bookings and revenue to grow at mid-teens percentage on a year-over-year basis. Our outlook accounts for the slower than expected start to the year in our Partners business as well as impact from productivity headwinds due to the war in the Middle East, which has pushed out certain important product rollouts for our professional audience. We expect to largely offset these near-term challenges with a broader set of growth initiatives across our core Wix business, with particular focus on optimizing and capturing a bigger top of funnel as well as strengthening performance of our existing user base. This outlook also reflects continued outperformance of Base44.

For the second quarter of 2026, we also expect revenue to grow at a mid-teens percentage on a year-over-year basis.

For the full year 2026, we expect FCF margin excluding acquisition costs to be in the high-teens. This includes the impact of foregone interest income on our cash balance liquidated to fund our tender program as well as interest expense on our $500 million credit facility. FCF outlook also includes approximately $64 million of headwind on our full year operating expense base, net of hedging activity, as the Israeli shekel has strengthened meaningfully against the U.S. dollar. Assuming pre-tender completion capital structure and excluding acquisition costs, we expect full year FCF margin would continue to be in the low- to mid-20% range.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Wix will host a conference call to discuss the results at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. A live and archived webcast of the conference call will be accessible from the "Investor Relations" section of the Company’s website at https://investors.wix.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, bookings on a constant currency basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow on a constant currency basis, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenue expense, non-GAAP financial expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant currency or foreign exchange neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues and the change in unbilled contractual obligations for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Bookings include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by users as well as cash we collect from business solutions, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual agreements for which we may have not yet received payment. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and the majority of the additional products and services (other than Google Workspace) are recognized as revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognized as revenue as we fulfill our obligation under the terms of the contractual agreement. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income), amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude the capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters, and cash acquisition-related expenses. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Non-GAAP cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction costs and retention payments that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business. Non-GAAP financial expense represents financial expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for unrealized gains of equity investments, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and non-operating foreign exchange expenses. Non-GAAP tax expense represents tax expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for provisions for income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash flow margin, free cash flow margin, excluding acquisition-related costs and the impact of our repurchase program, free cash flow, as adjusted, bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a key operating metric. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) the total monthly revenue of all Creative Subscriptions (including Base44) in effect on the last day of the period, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month from domain registrations multiplied by all registered domains in effect on the last day of the period; and (iii) monthly revenue from other partnership agreements including enterprise partners, in effect in the last month of the period. Business Solutions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is calculated as Business Solutions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Business Solutions MRR is calculated as the total monthly value of Business Solutions subscriptions in effect on the last day of the period. Business Solutions subscriptions include, but are not limited to, subscriptions such as Google Workspace, Email Marketing, and recurring paid ads.
