Forward guidance

The Company expects financial results for Q3-FY21 to improve year-over-year, with anticipated increases in transaction volumes and continued positive macroeconomic factors.

Tailwinds

  • Continued spending for the implementation of tools enabling omni-channel behavioral marketing, expanded analytics, and buyer/seller payment optimization.
  • Increased spending in business development activities to capture the market opportunity.
  • Stabilized macroeconomic factors that most directly influence the recovery rates of our most significant asset categories.
  • Marketplace seasonality converging back to historical trends.
  • Continued growth and expansion resulting from the continuing acceleration of broader market adoption of the online economy, particularly in our GovDeals and RSCG seller accounts and programs.

Headwinds

  • Continued mix shift to consignment pricing model which will lower revenue as a percent of GMV but improve gross profit margins.
  • Continued variability in project size and timing within our CAG segment, especially as COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and cross-border transactions.
