* Expected
● We expect to report first half bookings of $118m (H1 23: $98m), up 20% year on year and 19% at constant currency (cc), reflecting momentum across our focus markets and significantly improved retention in North America:
○ UK bookings +19% cc;
○ Europe & ROW bookings +16% cc;
○ North America bookings +23% cc;
● Last Twelve Month (LTM) net dollar retention rate increased to 101% (LTM June 23: 99%);
● Expected H1 24 revenue growth of 17% cc, in line with expectations given prior year's bookings growth;
● Strong cash generation, with net cash of $76m (FY 23: $92m) after completing initial £20m share buyback in H1 24;
● Completion of shareholder and court approved capital reduction, effective 19 June, enables future share buybacks, in line with our stated capital allocation strategy.
Adrian Blair, CEO of Trustpilot said: "We are pleased to report strong growth across the business in the first half of the year. This was combined with significant strategic and operational progress, and a clear focus on helping our business customers to build trust, grow and improve. In April we released new product features that provide businesses with AI driven insights into customer behavior and market dynamics, and we are encouraged by the feedback we have received so far."
"As we look ahead, we remain confident in the significant growth opportunities available to us in our focus markets of the UK, US, Germany and Italy, and beyond. The combination of new sales and an improvement in net dollar retention, supported by product innovation, underpins our confidence to reiterate our guidance of mid-teens constant currency revenue growth and margin improvement for the full year."
