Similarweb delivers powerful data and insights that helps companies understand their markets better than their competitors, take action faster, and grow their revenues. In Q3 we continued our strong revenue growth, expanded our existing customer relationships, and achieved breakthrough deals with new products.

Financial Outlook

“We are pleased with another quarter of strong financial and operational performance for the business,” said Jason Schwartz, Chief Financial Officer of Similarweb. “Given the continued, increasing demand for our solutions, we are issuing strong guidance for the fourth quarter and raising our full year revenue guidance.”

  • Q4 2021
    • Total revenue between $37.5 million and $37.9 million.
    • Non-GAAP operating loss between ($18.8) million and ($19.2) million. This includes approximately $3 million of incremental operating costs related to the acquisition of Embee Mobile, which we expect to close this quarter.
  • FY 2021
    • Total revenue between $135.0 million and $135.4 million, up from prior range of $129.0 million to $130.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP operating loss between ($52.1) million and ($52.5) million.

The Company’s fourth quarter and 2021 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

The Company does not provide guidance for operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP operating loss, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted non-GAAP operating loss and forecasted operating loss without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
