Speaker 2

Thank you, Sean. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our Q3 2023 earnings call. In Q3, we had record financial results, including our highest revenue and gross profit in Xometry history. We reduced our adjusted EBITDA loss by 51% from the prior quarter on our path to profitability. Behind those strong results was record additions of active buyers and orders and leverage on all of our operating expenses.

Speaker 2

With momentum from Q3 carrying into Q4, we are successfully executing what we set out to do in the beginning of this year. Return to our historical marketplace revenue growth of 40% plus, expand gross margins, improve operating efficiencies And reduced fixed costs so we could go from a $11,800,000 adjusted EBITDA loss in Q1 to potentially breakeven in Q4. This positions Xometry for robust growth and full year adjusted EBITDA profitability in 2024. We continue to innovate and expand. In October, we launched Team Space, a collaboration tool to augment our enterprise sales efforts and increase our organic buyer growth.

Speaker 2

Additionally, today we announced a new exciting partnership with Google Cloud to leverage Vertex AI to accelerate instant quoting for new markets on Xometry's AI powered marketplace. I will outline each in more detail later in the call. Here are some of the financial highlights from Q3 and their expected impact on Q4. Let's start with revenue. We grew revenue 15% year over year to $119,000,000 driven by Strong 22% year over year growth in marketplace revenue, offset by 16% year over year decline in supplier services revenue, primarily due to the discontinuation of our sale of tools and materials.

Speaker 2

Marketplace revenue included 78% year over year growth in our international segment, primarily in our European markets. We had forecast even more revenue growth in international in Q3, but some of that has been pushed into Q4 due to the timing of certain orders. U. S. Marketplace Q3 revenue was also strong with the highest sequential quarterly growth in the last 12 months, growing $9,000,000 quarter over quarter from Q2 of this year.

Speaker 2

In both the U. S. And internationally, growth was across many customer verticals, including general manufacturing, industrial equipment, aerospace and defense. Growth remains strong in injection molding As recent investments in technology and processes are driving an expanding pipeline of business. Underlying activity in the marketplace is strong With active buyers and orders in Q3 growing over 40% year over year.

Speaker 2

In Q4, we expect marketplace revenue growth and active buyer growth To converge, as quarterly revenue per active buyer remains stable year over year. This will power overall marketplace growth of approximately 40% in Q4. Coupled with relatively flat quarter over quarter supplier services revenue, We expect overall revenue growth in Q4 in the range of 30%. Next is gross profit. Gross profit increased 13% year over year to $46,200,000 driven by 25% growth in marketplace gross profit.

Speaker 2

Over the last 2 years, we've expanded marketplace gross margins by 5.50 basis points. In Q4, we expect marketplace gross margins to increase sequentially quarter over quarter, driven by our machine learning algorithms and the growth of our network of suppliers. Finally is our adjusted EBITDA. As I noted earlier, in Q3, we further improved our operating leverage, Reducing our adjusted EBITDA loss from Q2 by 51 percent or $4,400,000 This is a result of higher revenue and gross profits, Increased operating efficiency and cuts we've made in our fixed costs. In Q3, we balanced our advertising investments against profitability goals With advertising spend down 7% year over year, our marketplace unit economics continuing to improve, Driven by expanding gross margins and increasing advertising efficiencies, partly driven by the strong growth in our SEO traffic.

Speaker 2

We reduced our cost to acquire a net new active buyer by 27% year over year. Powering our strong Q3 financial results and the outlook for Q4 was progress we made in different areas of our business. Here are some of the highlights. 1, After a successful pilot with several large customers in Q3, in Q4 we integrated TeamSpace into the Xometry platform for all of our buyers to use. TeamSpace moves the Xometry marketplace from a focus on individual buyers and parts To procurement teams managing assemblies and products, TeamSpace further expands our enterprise solutions and land and expand strategy.

Speaker 2

We expect TeamSpace to drive organic user growth on the marketplace and further drive advertising efficiency. The early feedback is positive with rapid adoption, including over 300 teams created since launch. 2, we continue to expand aggressively internationally. Customers and orders are ramping at a solid pace in recently launched markets including the United Kingdom. In Q3, we added Portuguese to our European site and launched new automated inspection reports for buyers.

Speaker 2

In early Q4, Xometry Asia in collaboration with Alibaba Group's 1688 dotcom Launched our instant quoting technology on 1688's B2B wholesale marketplace mobile app. Through Xometry. Eu, Xometry. Ukandxometry.asia, we've leveraged Xometry's core technology to provide localized marketplaces in 14 different languages with networks of suppliers across Europe and Asia as well as North America. 3, we made further progress expanding our marketplace menu With new processes, materials, finishes and certifications.

Speaker 2

In Q3, we launched a new certification on the platform, AS91100, which is an important quality management standard for the global aerospace industry. This further expands our capabilities in this vertical it's particularly relevant for customers ordering flight parts. 4, we continue to modernize advertising products and expand self-service options on the ThomasNet platform, making it easier for suppliers to start their advertising journey. In Q3, we made further investments to move to a pay for performance advertising model on thomasnet.com. 5, today we announced a partnership with Google Cloud leveraging Vertex AI to help accelerate deployment of new auto quoting models within Xometry's AI powered instant quoting engine.

Speaker 2

Since our inception, we've been utilizing AI to instantly quote growing number of categories in our marketplace. Leveraging Vertex AI, Xometry expects to accelerate the deployment of new auto quoting models. With the data we have for hundreds of additional unique categories, including many on Thomas Net, we can further grow our customer share of wallet in the giant custom manufacturing market. This partnership represents a formidable combination. Xometry is a technology company Disrupting an addressable market that can be measured in multi $1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000 of buyers.

Speaker 2

As we continue to expand the application of our AI, Increase the breadth of what we can offer and grow our international footprint, we are serving more and more buyers. Likewise, as we continue to gain market share, we expect more and more suppliers to participate, accepting jobs from buyers, advertising on Thomas Net and using our work center software. Capitalizing on those trends, we not only expect accelerated revenue growth in Q4 of this year, We expect robust growth in 2024 and for many years thereafter. We went public in 2021 with the goal of driving significant shareholder value by building a large disruptive leading technology company in 1 of the largest global industries. The shift to the digital, which has happened in so many other industries, is inevitable in custom manufacturing.

Speaker 2

We are the market leader and every day we continue to expand our competitive mode By improving upon our proprietary pricing and matching algorithms, growing our data lake, enlarging our network of buyers and suppliers and increasing our global footprint. Throughout 2023, our sequential revenue growth and profitability have improved each quarter. In Q4, we expect Accelerating revenue growth of approximately 30% and the potential to be adjusted EBITDA breakeven, setting Xometry up for a powerful 2024. With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Jim Rolla.

Speaker 3

Thanks, Randy, and good morning, everyone. As Randy mentioned, Q3 was a record revenue and gross profit quarter for Xometry and we significantly reduced our adjusted EBITDA loss Quarter over quarter by 51%. Q3 revenue increased 15% year over year to $119,000,000 Driven by strong marketplace growth, Q3 marketplace revenue was $102,000,000 and supplier services revenue was $16,500,000 reflecting the discontinuation of the sale of supplies. Q3 revenue growth Adjusting for the exit of the supplies business increased 17% year over year. Q3 marketplace revenue increased 22% year over year, driven by a strong growth in the number of active buyers, partly offset by lower average revenue per buyer on a year over year basis.

Speaker 3

Q3 active buyers increased 43% year over year to 52,467 with a record net addition of 4,173 active buyers. Our active buyer and order growth We're much stronger than our reported marketplace revenue growth rate in Q3. In Q4, we expect marketplace revenue growth And active buyer growth to converge as quarterly revenue per active buyer remains stable year over year. This will drive overall marketplace revenue growth of approximately 40% in Q4 year over year. In Q3, the percentage of revenue from existing accounts was 96%, underscoring the efficiency and transparency of our business model that leads to increasing account stickiness and spend over time.

Speaker 3

Once an account joins our platform, we aim to expand the relationship and increase engagement and spending activities from the account over time. The number of accounts with last 12 months spend of at least $50,000 on our platform reached 1223 at the end of Q3, up 26% year over year. In Q3, we accelerated the growth of net new accounts with LTM spend of at least $50,000 with 64 versus 50 in Q2. Supplier services revenue declined 16% year over year in Q3. We discontinued the sale of supplies in the U.

Speaker 3

S. In Q2, which negatively impacted supplier services revenue by approximately $2,000,000 year over year in Q3. Our core advertising and marketing services revenue remained stable in Q3 quarter over quarter. The number of active paying suppliers for Q3 2023 was 7,415 on a trailing 12 month basis, a decrease of 2% year over year. Excluding the impact of the exit of the supplies business, Active paying suppliers increased 4% year over year.

Speaker 3

Active paying suppliers is the number of suppliers Who have purchased 1 or more of our supplier services including digital marketing or financial services during the last 12 months. Q3 gross profit was $46,200,000 an increase of 13% year over year. Total gross profit margin was 38.9%. Q3 gross margin for marketplace was 31.1%, up 70 basis points year over year. Q3 marketplace gross profit dollars increased 25% year over year.

Speaker 3

We are focused on driving marketplace gross profit dollar growth. In Q3, incremental marketplace gross margin was 34% year over year, providing further visibility to our long term gross margin expectations of 35% to 40%. We expect marketplace gross margin to expand sequentially from Q3 to Q4. Q3 gross margin for supplier services was an all time high of 87.2% driven by the high gross margin of Thomas Marketing and Advertising Services and Growing Financial Services. Supplier Services gross margin increased 7.40 basis points quarter over quarter due to the discontinuation of the sales of supplies, which carried a significant lower gross margin.

Speaker 3

Moving on to Q3 operating costs, Q3 total non GAAP operating expenses increased 6% Year over year to $50,500,000 Q3 non GAAP operating expenses declined $2,000,000 Quarter over quarter reflecting the full quarter impact of the 4% reduction in workforce and consolidation of office space we announced in Q2 2023. Additionally, based on our cost savings and operating efficiency initiatives, We are seeing improving profitability in our Thomas Advertising and Marketing Services business. Within our operating expenses, Sales and marketing is our largest component. In Q3, non GAAP sales and marketing expenses increased 9% to $21,200,000 as compared to 19 point In new net active buyers in Q3, leveraging increasing brand awareness and efficient marketing. Q3 advertising spend decreased 7% year over year as we continue to balance growth and profitability goals.

Speaker 3

Q3 adjusted EBITDA loss was $4,200,000 or 3.5 percent of revenue compared with 6.3% of revenue in Q3 2022. Turning to segment reporting, in Q3 revenue from our U. S. And international operating segments was $103,000,000 $15,500,000 respectively. As Randy mentioned earlier, we saw strong order growth in Europe.

Speaker 3

We had forecast even more European revenue growth in Q3, But some of that has been pushed into Q4 due to the timing of certain orders. We therefore expect particularly strong quarter over quarter International revenue growth in Q4. Segment loss from our U. S. And international operating segments for Q3 was $7,900,000 $4,100,000 respectively.

Speaker 3

At the end of the 3rd quarter, cash and cash equivalents End marketable securities were $276,800,000 Now moving on to guidance. We are widening our revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance range Slightly given the rapid growth and increasing size of our business. In particular for revenue, our range encompasses the recent strengthening of the U. S. Dollar, which creates a potential incremental headwind in Q4 revenue versus our prior guidance on a spot basis.

Speaker 3

We expect Q4 2023 revenue in the range of $126,000,000 to $130,000,000 representing year over year growth of 28% to 32%. We expect marketplace revenue growth to accelerate in Q4 on a year over year basis to the 40% range. As previously mentioned, in Q4, we expect our marketplace revenue growth to largely converge with the active buyer growth rates that we have consistently delivered this year. In Q4, we expect adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of Breakeven to a loss of $2,000,000 Q4 adjusted EBITDA loss will be lower quarter over quarter driven by sequential growth in marketplace revenue, Improving marketplace gross profit, increased operating efficiency and further measures to tighten operating expenses. We are continuing to invest in key growth initiatives including enterprise sales and international.

Speaker 3

In Q4, we expect stock based compensation expense to be approximately $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 which we will exclude from adjusted EBITDA. With that, operator, can you please open up the call for questions?

Operator

Thank you very much. Brian, your line is open.

Speaker 1

Operator, we can come back to Brooks in

Speaker 4

a second if he's not.

Operator

Pardon me?

Speaker 1

We can come back to Brian in a second if he jumps back on. Let's go to the next caller.

Operator

Okay. Our next caller is Nick Jones from JMP Securities. Your line is open.

Speaker 5

Great. Thank you for taking the questions. I have 2. I guess first on kind of the buyer growth, can you speak to how much The team space is contributing to the buyer growth. I think in the shareholder was over 300 teams have been created.

Speaker 5

Could this kind of Structurally change the type of kind of net adds we should expect on the active buyer number? And then I guess a follow-up on this would be what is the spending behavior of active buyers coming in through Team space, do they spend similarly if you're going to increase maybe the net adds from This solution, does this maybe weigh on marketplace revenue per active buyer near term as you kind of ratchet up number back to buyers adding. Thanks.

Speaker 6

Thanks, Nick. It's Randy and great question. So we didn't release TeamSpace until October. So in Q3, it was still in beta with just a handful of customers. So the record net add in Q3 was not because of TeamSpace, But we certainly think that team stays in Q4 and beyond will contribute to net active the growth in net active buyers.

Speaker 6

At this point, we don't expect there to be any change, negative change in revenue per quarter From active buyers over the team space, potential upside, but at this point, we certainly don't expect any downside from it.

Speaker 1

Yes, Nick, it's Sean. I'd just add in Q3, Well, we saw, as Reddy said, record net additions. We're seeing really strong growth in SEO traffic. One of the things we called out on the call was that our cost of a net new active buyer was down 27% year over year. So seeing very strong efficiency in advertising.

Speaker 1

We're also seeing very good growth in Europe as well. I'm just seeing Across the board, our brand awareness is improving and you should continue to see very healthy net adds going forward.

Speaker 5

Great. If I can ask you just a quick follow-up on international, still strong year over year growth, but sequentially it was kind of flat In 3Q, anything to call out on what's happening internationally? Are things maybe slowing down a little bit on a sequential basis? Or Just any extra color there would be great. Thanks.

Speaker 6

Yes. No, Nick, business is very healthy in international. And again, this year as we covered international, It's primarily Europe. Order growth and buyer growth was very strong. It was really just a timing issue.

Speaker 6

So as we call out on the call, you're going to see some really strong Quarter over quarter revenue growth in international, particularly in Europe in Q4. So everything is going great. It's more of a timing issue and you should see a nice uptick in Q4.

Speaker 1

Yes. And it's Sean again. Just to double click on that, I mean, again, that was a very slight timing issue. All that revenue has been recognized in October, And we have good visibility there and we expect strong sequential growth. And as Randy said, top of the funnel in Europe in Q3 year over year was very strong in terms of buyer and order growth.

Operator

We will now return to Brian Drab with William Blair. Your line is open. Mr. Drap, we appear to

Speaker 4

be having Hello. Can you hear me?

Operator

Yes, sir.

Speaker 4

Sorry, that that's what you heard first. So I was about to say something else. Yes, I think we need an announcement about how that we're going to be muted when we get introduced. Star 6, I guess, fixes that. So anyways, it will be very interesting to see how you guys perform when manufacturing environment is actually A little more favorable.

Speaker 4

This is impressive results in this environment. Randy, I wonder, can you Talk at all about the trends that you're seeing in some of the different services, different service lines. You mentioned injection molding was positive. Can you comment on trajectory in CNC and 3 d printing as well?

Speaker 6

Yes, Brian, it really has been strong growth across the board. Injection molding has been particularly strong, but We're really seeing good upticks in all categories. So it's pretty broad and as we said also it's across many industries.

Speaker 4

Okay, great. And I guess you called out financial services and the good margins That you have in the financial services. Is that it feels like that has yet to really gain the traction That it might at some point. Can you just talk more about what you expect for that component of the business in the future?

Speaker 3

Yes, Brian, I think financial services actually have continued to expand. That's being driven obviously by the addition of suppliers Into the marketplace and the adoption of that, I think what we really caught out in the quarter was the increase in margin on The supplier services side of the business, so where again the Finserv sits. So you saw increasing margins there this And we expect that to continue. A lot of that had to do with obviously the exit of supplies in materials. So With that part of the business being gone now, and we'll lap that obviously in this quarter here, we feel really good about where the margins are going in the business overall.

Speaker 6

And the advertising just to add to what you said, the advertising business is very high margin, Brian. So the thin serve business obviously is very high too, but the advertising So the core the biggest product we have in Inspire services is very high margin.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks. And then for now, just lastly, you're adding more manufacturing partners all the time. It is a challenging environment in the industrial world right now and Even heard one of your competitors talking about how their manufacturer partner base It has some extra capacity in certain regions. And I'm just wondering, can you comment at all about trends in how fast your Manufacturing partners are accepting jobs or prices trend in prices at which they're accepting jobs and what kind of bearing That is having on marketplace gross margin?

Speaker 6

Thanks. Yes. Okay. So in terms of marketplace gross margin, just to jump on that, we've indicated that we That gross margin for marketplace to grow sequentially from Q3 to Q4. And again, Just to be clear, the incremental gross margin in Q3 for marketplace was 34%, So very strong there.

Speaker 6

I do want to say, Ryan, so our revenue per active buyer per quarter has Flat this year, it was slightly up in Q3, but basically flat since Q4 of last year. We do not expect that to change. We don't see any trends in that changing. So irrespective if there's a little bit more capacity here or there or price in some individual park goes up or down, We expect revenue per active buyer to be flat to stable.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks very much.

Speaker 6

Thanks, Brian.

Operator

Thank you for your question. One moment. Our next question comes from Eric Sheridan with Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Speaker 7

Thanks so much for taking the question. Maybe if I could just ask one that's more bigger picture. With the partnership with Google Cloud, just to better understand a little bit of implementation of that partnership, how we should see it showing up in the numbers as we look into 2024 And what you think it was implied in your prepared remarks, but how we should be thinking about sort of bringing more density into the marketplace and Potentially, widening out some of the vertical exposure. Thanks.

Speaker 6

Yes, Eric, thanks for the question. So we're very excited about this partnership and this will help us accelerate the expansion and deployment of new categories in our auto quoting engine. And think about it, things that have taken us months to years will now go weeks to months in terms of how quickly we can deploy things. And we think it will have a material impact on the number of categories and different processes that we can auto quote. It's going to be happening over a period of months.

Speaker 6

And as you see us deploy new categories during that period, we can provide updates.

Speaker 7

Great. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. And as a reminder, please unmute your phone when you are so that you are able to ask your questions. Our next question comes from Ron Zhou from Citi. Your line is open.

Speaker 8

Great. Thanks for taking the question. I had 2. Maybe Randy and Jim, can you just walk us through a little bit more on the revenue per active I know it was down more here in 3Q, but then I think the guidance was for the stable, flat to stable in 4Q. So I'd love to hear More insights on that in terms of what you're seeing.

Speaker 8

And then any thoughts on just around the top 200 largest accounts, the penetration there? Are you seeing, call it, Expansion of buyers across those active those top 200? Thank you.

Speaker 6

Yes. Thank you. So just To be clear, everybody, we saw last year from Q3 last year was a high watermark for us For revenue, monthly revenue per active buyer marketplace, and then we saw a sharp reduction from Q3 of last year to Q4. Since Q4 of last year, our revenue per active buyer each quarter has been flat. So when we gave the comment about year over year that was because last year was a high watermark.

Speaker 6

But most important, It's been flat and we expect it to be flat again in Q4. So now as we are now in sort of a flat basis from Q4 of last year, That's why we talked about how we expect the growth in active buyers to mirror our growth in marketplace revenue. So we and we've been trending there in the 40% plus range throughout this year and we expect, as we talk about in the call, Sort of at 40% marketplace growth in Q4. So since Q4 of last year, that metric has been very stable and we expect it to continue to be stable.

Speaker 2

On the second question.

Speaker 1

Can you repeat the second question?

Speaker 8

Sure. It was just about expanding in the top 200 largest accounts Given the focus there and Randy that was very helpful on the revenue proactive buyer comment, but just top 2 of your largest accounts and the progress there.

Speaker 1

Yes. The one thing I would say is we saw very strong growth quarter over quarter in the U. S. And then part of that is we are as we've talked about focusing on the top 200 accounts. And as Randy mentioned on the call, we just introduced TeamSpace and That's for all our buyers, but in particular, we think this is going to be very helpful for our top 200 accounts.

Speaker 1

And so Again, we're really pleased with the traction thus far and we'll keep you up to date on that.

Speaker 8

Okay. Thank

Operator

you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Cory Carpenter with JPMorgan. Your line is open.

Speaker 9

Hey, this is Danny Pfeiffer on for Cory Carpenter. Thanks for the questions. On the first, can you just talk about if there's anything to call out in particular on what led to the sequential decline of marketplace gross margins in 3Q? And then on the second, is there any update on the Alibaba 1688 partnership and how that's performing? And maybe if you could size any current or potential revenue contribution?

Speaker 9

Thanks.

Speaker 3

Yes. Thanks for the questions, Jim. So I think a couple of things. We'll now evolve our relationship so that We continue to that continued to evolve. I think we have just rolled out recently For that mobile, so that's been a big change recently.

Speaker 3

We first rolled out, obviously, we shared everything. It was all laptop based, Which is not really used very much in China. So the mobile has really helped. We started to get orders rolling out there. So we do expect that to continue To be a bigger piece of the China business, but to be clear, that's very immaterial at this point in time.

Speaker 3

We don't really have to see a lot of that in the next quarter, But we are making good progress

Speaker 2

there. In terms of the gross margin,

Speaker 6

So just to refresh, that was up 70 basis points year over year. We do expect that Gross margin sequentially for marketplace to grow from Q3 to Q4. And again, if you look at the incremental gross margin, it was 34% In the Q3, so we feel again, we feel good about exiting 2024 with that 35% to 40%. But There's going to be some slight variability, but there's really nothing of note why they have declined sequentially.

Speaker 3

Yes. I think also though what we've said, right, Gross margin is going to continue to increase, but it's not going to increase in a straight line. So we'll have better quarters and we'll have slower growth quarters and so forth. So I think again we're moving in the right direction. We feel solid about our guidance of 35% to 40%, and we're certainly well on our path to get there.

Speaker 9

Thanks.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from Matt Hedberg with RBC. Your line is open.

Speaker 10

Great, guys. Thanks for the question. Maybe a high level question, either Randy or Jim. I think Randy on the call you noted you expect robust growth in 'twenty four and obviously you haven't really given us a ton of parameters around that. But wondering if you could Sort of outline for us key building blocks for next year's growth just so we can kind of make sure that we're kind of thinking about The trajectory appropriately next year before the Q4 call.

Speaker 1

Hey, Matt, it's Shaul. I'll take that. We're not going to guide there obviously specifically to today, but the building blocks are, as we called out before, you should continue to expect to see Strong robust net active buyers being added every quarter, so you can build that in your model. And We put up we delivered over 4,000 this quarter and that did not have the impact of team space. So we'll have to Update you as we get into 2024 on that impact.

Speaker 1

And then against that, we're seeing very Stable marketplace revenue per active buyer. So as we called out on this call, you're now going to see that marketplace revenue is converging With buyer growth and order growth and I would think that that's the kind of building block you should look into for 2024. And then in supplier services, we expect to grow that in 2024 modestly, but we've put in investments This year to modernize the Thomas ad platform, we brought a new Head of Sales, and we expect some of these moves to bear some fruit next year, And that's a very high margin business.

Speaker 3

Yes, I would just I would add on that too, is the penetration of our top 200 accounts. We continue to see strong penetration in our top 200 accounts and really, we've done a great job here with TeamSpace. TeamSpace is our fastest adopted service or product that we've rolled out since the company has been founded. It's unbelievable the adoption of that, Especially with our top 200 accounts, we're seeing great adoption throughout the organization, a lot more engineers getting involved And frankly, we feel real good about that in driving revenue next year.

Speaker 10

Thanks guys. Super helpful. Yes, it really does seem like TeamSpace Could be a nice incremental boost to 2024 and beyond. Thanks again guys for the time.

Operator

Thank you for your question. Our next question comes from Greg Palm with Craig Hallum Capital Group. Your line is open.

Speaker 11

Yes, good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Just probably Keene, I'm curious if you have noticed any kind of change in buyer behavior over Recent months relative to kind of what you've seen on a year to date basis, whether that be Find more parts, whether that be utilizing standard versus priority shipping, etcetera. Anything to note? And then just Specifically, in the month of October, any change in trends relative to sort of what you saw over the course of Q3?

Speaker 6

Yes. So let me start with the first one. Good morning. So we really haven't seen any change in buyer behavior. And again, just to reiterate, we expect Revenue per active buyer each quarter to be relatively flat quarter over quarter and into next year as well.

Speaker 6

October has been strong.

Speaker 2

So? Yes.

Speaker 1

And Greg, it's Sean. The one thing Jim mentioned in his script, just Look, in terms of the Q4 revenue range, we're just being mindful of recent currency changes. Jim talked about it, but if the dollar were To be 5% stronger for the entire quarter, it would be about $1,000,000 impact. So we're just being mindful of that.

Speaker 11

Yes. Okay. Thanks for that clarification. And then I'm curious as you Look, whether it's next year or at some point, you've given this metric with accounts last 12 month spend of over 50,000 I'm curious if you have I'm sure you've got the information whether that's over 100,000 or over 200,000 of spend and how that's growing. I know You've been trying to go deeper within those sort of top accounts and I'm just sort of curious if we'll get some more sort of metrics like that, that show that The amount of money that some of your top customers are spending is accelerating.

Speaker 11

Maybe you can maybe give us a little bit of detail on what you're seeing there?

Speaker 6

Yes, I think that's a good question. And I we've been talking about at the right time adding another Ventric at a higher dollar amount. So To be seen, but we hear you and we think it's a smart idea.

Speaker 1

And Greg, the other thing is We've talked about with you before is we have certainly invested in our enterprise sales efforts in 2023. As you know, we have a new leader in that group. And What we're really trying to move to in 2024 is to get our largest accounts with committed spend. So not only is there a potential tranche of A potential new KPI of a higher spend number, we'll update you as we get further along. We're really trying to Get with our biggest customers and have them drive committed spend, which would add a lot of visibility certainly for you guys.
