“Our goal has always been to give people the power to access advanced technology without the barriers of complexity,” said Avishai Abrahami, Co-founder and CEO of Wix. “With Base44, we’re extending this mission by bringing the next generation of AI and natural-language development to applications. This is the next phase in the evolution of our commitment to democratizing technology, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

Nir Zohar, President and Co-founder at Wix, continued, “Strong execution across both Creative Subscriptions and Business Solutions drove bookings and revenue growth to accelerate to 14% y/y, exceeding expectations. Importantly, new cohort bookings sustained the momentum we saw in 1H as a result of healthy demand and robust business fundamentals. Continued strength in our new cohorts is a testament to the value of the Wix brand and growing importance of our platform for small businesses and all types of creators on the internet today.”

Lior Shemesh, CFO at Wix, added, “With market share growing from low-single digits to more than 10%¹ since June, Base44 top-line growth is exceeding expectations. To capture this better than anticipated demand, we are accelerating our marketing investments in Base44 with strong TROI. As a result of Base44’s outperformance, coupled with new cohort strength in our core Wix business, we are increasing our bookings guidance for the full year. I’m confident the strategic investments we’re making today will enable Base44 to be a meaningful growth driver for Wix in 2026 and beyond with similar margins to our core business in the long-term.”

Financial Outlook

We expect year-to-date momentum to carry through the remainder of 2025, driven by a robust top-of-funnel and disciplined execution on our strategic initiatives, particularly as we build out the Base44 business. Health in our core Wix offering coupled with ramping contribution from Base44 outperformance is setting the foundation for a strong finish to the year.

We are raising our full year bookings outlook to $2,060 - 2,078 million, or 13-14% y/y growth, compared to $2,040 - 2,075 million, or 11-13% y/y growth, previously. This increased expectation is driven by meaningful outperformance of Base44, which we expect to continue as we accelerate marketing investments to capture the stronger-than-anticipated demand we’re seeing today. As a result, we expect Base44 to achieve at least $50 million of ARR by year-end, an increase from our previous plan. Our guidance also assumes a stable macro and continued top-of-funnel strength.

At the same time, we are updating our full year revenue outlook to $1,990 - 2,000 million, or 13-14% y/y growth, compared to $1,975 - 2,000 million, or 12-14% y/y growth, previously. Base44 outperformance is expected to be offset by the continued shift in our core Wix business mix towards two- and three-year subscription packages.

We expect total revenue in Q4 2025 to be $521 - 531 million, up 13-15% y/y.

For the full year, we now expect non-GAAP gross margin to be 68-69% due to higher AI costs as a result of better than anticipated demand and increasing usage volume for Base44.

Additionally to capture the robust Base44 opportunity we see today, we are accelerating branding and marketing investments above previous expectations as a result of top-line outperformance, in-line with our TROI methodology. We now expect non-GAAP operating expenses to be ~50% of revenue for the full year.

Due to our anticipated increase in bookings, higher operating expenses, and continued working capital benefits, we now expect to generate free cash flow of approximately $600 million in 2025, or approximately 30% of revenue.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Wix will host a conference call to discuss the results at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. A live and archived webcast of the conference call will be accessible from the "Investor Relations" section of the Company’s website at https://investors.wix.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, bookings on a constant currency basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow on a constant currency basis, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenue expense, non-GAAP financial expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant currency or foreign exchange neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues and the change in unbilled contractual obligations for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Bookings include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by users as well as cash we collect from business solutions, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual agreements for which we may have not yet received payment. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and the majority of the additional products and services (other than Google Workspace) are recognized as revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognized as revenue as we fulfill our obligation under the terms of the contractual agreement. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income), amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude the capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters, and cash acquisition-related expenses. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Non-GAAP cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction costs and retention payments that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business. Non-GAAP financial expense represents financial expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for unrealized gains of equity investments, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and non-operating foreign exchange expenses. Non-GAAP tax expense represents tax expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for provisions for income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash flow margin, free cash flow, as adjusted, bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a key operating metric. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) the total monthly revenue of all Creative Subscriptions (including Base44) in effect on the last day of the period, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month from domain registrations multiplied by all registered domains in effect on the last day of the period; and (iii) monthly revenue from other partnership agreements including enterprise partners.
