Cricut reports Q2 EPS 7c, consensus 6c

Reports Q2 revenue $177.77M, consensus $176.5M. “We finished the quarter in line with our expectations and launched some important innovations. On July 18th, we launched Cricut Venture, the largest and fastest connected cutting machine on the Cricut Platform. Cricut Venture represents the fourth, all-new architecture of connected machines in our history and demonstrates our commitment to innovation. As part of the launch, we held our first in-person consumer event since 2020. We love the energy these events generate within our community and are planning to do more in-person customer events around new products and our Cricut platform. Despite the 3% sales decline from a year ago, we are encouraged by our subscriptions revenue and machines revenue growth which increased year over year 13% and 5%, respectively. Our international growth was positive, with 34% year over year growth. The Cricut platform now has over 8.4 million total users, up 17% over Q2 last year. This creates a tremendous opportunity for us to build deeper user engagement on our platform by helping them discover inspiration, design then make their projects and share them on our platform,” said Ashish Arora, Chief Executive Officer of Cricut.
