Proptech Earnings Radar - Q2 2023

Proptech Earnings Radar - Q2 2023

Second quarter results are in for proptech’s public companies.

Our last summary of results was Q2 2021. As part of launching our Crystal tier, we’re bringing the earnings radar back. This time, better than ever as an ongoing Biz Intel Series. We’re re-starting with the ten companies we deem as the most important players in the broader category. However, it’s likely we’ll add companies to the list in future editions—if there’s one you’d like to see covered, let us know.

Without further ado, let’s get to it.

Note: All market cap figures are taken end of day, August 10th, 2023.

COMPANY SNAPSHOTS

Airbnb saw 115 million nights and experiences booked, up 11% YoY, on top of more than 7 million active listings. That led to more than half a billion in net income, making it the most profitable company of those included—by a mile. Also, it’s worth calling out that 18% of all gross nights booked were long-term stays (28 days or more)—down from 25% a couple of years ago in Q1 2021, signaling digital nomadism being an important movement but not the end-all-be-all trend some predicted.

Market cap: 85.7B

Notable Takeaways:

  • $2.5 billion in revenue, up 18% YoY.
  • Net income of $650 million, a big uptick of 72% from a year ago. Net income margin came in at 26%, up 18% YoY.
  • Free cash flow was $900 million, which helped enable $2.5 billion in stock repurchases over the trailing twelve months.
  • Average nightly booking cost was $166.
