• Achieved 7% GMV growth, the strongest since Q4 2024, by prioritizing product improvements over traditional sales and marketing spend.

• Attributed outperformance to an 11th consecutive quarter of conversion growth and a 10% expansion in both average and median order values.

• Stabilized traffic sequentially despite a 34% reduction in sales and marketing expenses, indicating a more efficient organic and brand-driven funnel.

• Leveraged AI-assisted development for over 70% of new code, accelerating the deployment of features in discovery, pricing, and shipping.

• Gained market share based on credit card panel data, outperforming a luxury home furnishings market that declined in the mid-single digits.

• Expanded the 'Pricing' pillar into a broader 'Trust' initiative to address authenticity, seller quality, and platform integrity as conversion drivers.

2026 Outlook and Strategic Roadmap

• Upgraded full-year guidance to expect year-over-year GMV growth for 2026, independent of a macroeconomic recovery in the housing market.

• Anticipates continued GMV growth in Q4 as the company laps the significant sales and marketing reductions implemented in late 2025.

• Plans to scale the Tastemakers Ambassador Program in the second half of 2026 to drive organic reach and improve paid media efficiency.

• Expects revenue take rates to moderate to 24%-25% due to a mix shift toward higher-value orders which carry lower blended commission rates.

• Aims for full-year positive adjusted EBITDA, supported by a reengineered cost structure that converts revenue recovery into margin expansion.

Operational and Financial Context

• Reported a 6% adjusted EBITDA margin, a 13 percentage point improvement year-over-year, reflecting the impact of multi-year cost rationalization.

• Introduced paid event sponsorships for the '1stDibs 50', creating a new non-endemic advertising revenue stream from high-net-worth audiences.

• Noted an accounting reclassification of $5.9 million from cash to receivables due to new payment processor agreements, which has no economic impact but lowers reported free cash flow.

• Exhausted the 2026 share repurchase authorization, returning $11.1 million to shareholders during the second quarter.

Growth and cost initiatives for the second half of 2026

• Management will focus on broadening the deployment of the four roadmap pillars: discovery, trust, shipping, and service.

• Key initiatives include rolling out a new machine learning model for personalization and expanding freight pre-quote coverage to 75% of listings and growing overall pre-quote coverage to 90%.

• The company is deploying an AI-powered customer service chatbot to resolve standard inquiries and free up staff for complex interactions.

Impact of the Tastemakers Ambassador Program on marketing efficiency

• The program tripled Instagram view time and is viewed as a hedge against SEO uncertainty and a tool to reach younger demographics.

• Management remains disciplined on paid marketing, stating they will only increase spend if the Tastemaker content continues to drive profitable unit economics.

GMV growth sustainability beyond 2026 without macro recovery

• Growth conviction is supported by the compounding effect of the product roadmap and the lapping of marketing cuts through mid-2027.

• Management believes AI provides unique capabilities to improve marketplace performance that were previously unavailable.

• Long-term growth will be driven by rebuilding the marketplace foundation and eventually expanding the total addressable market.
