Pinterest (PINS) 1Q24 Earnings Call Takeaways (from EarningsDigest.ai) ✨ Revenue Results and Drivers ✨ Pinterest's first quarter of 2024 saw revenues reach $740 million, a 23% increase year-over-year. This acceleration was driven by strong user and engagement growth, particularly in the U.S. retail sector. Additionally, direct links to lower funnel ad formats contributed to the revenue acceleration, reflecting improved actionability on the platform. The company experienced broad strength in retail and emerging categories like technology and financial services across various geographies. 💹 Margin Results and Drivers 💹 The company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $113 million with a 15% margin, a significant improvement. This expansion was attributed to efficient expense discipline and strategic investment in R&D and sales & marketing to enhance technical selling capabilities. Pinterest anticipates more modest margin expansion in the second half of 2024 as it balances growth investments with profitability. 🌍 Business Segment Results and Drivers 🛍️ The U.S. market saw notable strengths in first-party business and emerging contributions from third-party ad demand, particularly in the retail sector. In contrast, international markets, while showing growth, faced currency headwinds that impacted performance. However, there's anticipation for further growth and optimization in these regions going forward. 📈 Forward Guidance 📊 Looking ahead, Pinterest expects continued revenue growth and margin expansion, projecting Q2 2024 revenue to be in the range of $835 million to $850 million, representing 18% to 20% growth year-over-year. The company expects continued growth driven by initiatives such as direct links value capture and the emerging contribution from third-party demand partnerships. 🚨 Risks and Concerns 🚨 1/ Economic Sensitivity and Market Competition: The digital advertising market remains highly competitive, with the presence of larger platforms that have significant investment in AI and monetization strategies. Pinterest needs to maintain its unique value proposition for both users and advertisers to sustain growth amidst this competition. Additionally, economic conditions, such as shifts in ad budgets and potential challenges from the deprecation of third-party cookies, could impact revenue growth. 2/ International Expansion and Monetization: While there is optimism about the international growth potential, especially with the introduction of third-party demand partnerships like Amazon Ads and Google Ads Manager, the company recognizes that it will take time for these efforts to mature. 3/ Reliance on AI and Technological Advancements: Pinterest's strategy heavily relies on advancements in AI to drive user personalization and relevancy.

Small Wins, Big Celebrations! Just reminding myself (thanks to the wisdom of a close friend) to always celebrate the small wins. Here’s to another small win! Nothing beats the joy of receiving emails like this from Google—it’s a clear affirmation that you’re doing something right. 800 clicks from Google Search in the past 28 days might seem like a small milestone to some, but for me, it’s a moment to celebrate. It’s a reflection of consistent effort, dedication, and the impact of sharing valuable content with the world. These moments remind me that progress, no matter how small, is worth acknowledging. Every click represents someone finding value in the work—and that’s a win worth cherishing! To anyone working on their goals, remember: progress, no matter the size, is still progress. Celebrate it. Learn from it. Keep moving forward. What small wins are you celebrating today? Let’s cheer each other on!

Your daily landing page tip to help you add rocket fuel to yours… 🚀 Landing Page Tip 3/65 Choose one primary call to action Tie this back to your landing page purpose and metric of success (tips 1 & 2). Your landing page is there to get users to take action on something, so use a primary call to action to make it super clear to users how to take action! This may seem like a no brainer, but I've seen landing pages with no button, or no link, or no suggestion of what the user should do until further down the page. We want to set the expectation early with our users. This is the action, and this is what you need to click to do it. People like being told what to do. It makes their lives easier. Promise. Keep any eye out for landing page tip 4/65 coming tomorrow 💪 Comment ‘checklist’ and I’ll message you with a link to all 65 landing page tips as well as the Notion landing page checklist.

🚀Direct Response Copywriter | I'll help you get more students for your online courses in 90 days or less using my Conversion Funnel Maximizer Method
🔥 Want me to help you get an additional 1-3 new students in your next course launch in just 90 days for $0? You heard that right. And no, I’m not drunk for posting this outrageous offer. You only have to pay me AFTER the launch, which is 20% of the net revenue. You see. I prefer working with clients on a performance-based basis. I mean. Wouldn’t it make sense to only pay people who do a good job? That being said. This isn’t for everyone. I only work with people who have: ☝️ At least 5,000 email subscribers and at least 500 people have opened your emails in your list in the past 30 days. ☝️ A PROVEN OFFER. This means you’ve sold your online course before and have gotten at least 20 positive reviews, case studies, and testimonials. ☝️ You are currently investing in paid and organic ads. So, if you’re that person, send me a DM, and let’s chat :)
