The report highlights Vimeo's robust financial health, strategic investments, and future outlook as the company continues to innovate and expand its market presence.

Financial Highlights

Vimeo reported a slight decline in revenue for Q4 2024, with total revenue of $103.2 million, down from $105.5 million in Q4 2023. Despite this, the company demonstrated strong financial resilience with a gross profit margin of 78%, maintaining a stable gross profit of $80.3 million. Net earnings for the quarter were $1.5 million, translating to an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.01.

For the full year 2024, Vimeo's revenue remained flat at $417 million compared to 2023. However, the company achieved significant improvements in profitability, with net earnings of $27 million and an all-time high Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million, more than tripling the total Adjusted EBITDA generated from 2021 to 2023 combined.

Business and Operational Highlights

Vimeo's business performance in 2024 was marked by substantial customer traction and bookings growth. The company solidified its position as a trusted private video platform, serving millions of creators and major global brands across various industries. Notably, Vimeo Enterprise bookings grew by over 50% from customers with $100,000+ ARR, and the OTT/Streaming business returned to growth.

In Q4 2024, Vimeo Enterprise revenue grew by 37%, reaching a $100 million-plus run rate in annualized bookings for the second consecutive quarter. The company secured new enterprise deals with prominent brands such as Adidas, Clarins, and Datadog, while expanding relationships with existing clients like Sanofi and Warby Parker.

Strategic Initiatives and Corporate Developments

Vimeo continued to invest in AI-powered innovations, launching features such as automated video transcription, video captioning, and video translation into over 28 languages. The company also held its inaugural customer event, Vimeo REFRAME '24, and collaborated with Apple on a new spatial video-sharing app for the Apple Vision Pro.

In terms of financial strategy, Vimeo repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock in Q4 2024 and an additional 1.5 million shares through February 2025, with $14 million remaining in its share repurchase authorization.

Management's Perspective

CEO Philip Moyer expressed gratitude to shareholders for their support and highlighted Vimeo's strong market position entering 2025. He emphasized the company's focus on innovation and strategic investments to drive profitable growth. Moyer noted that Vimeo's increased investment in technology and a more productive marketing and sales engine have positioned the company for accelerated growth in bookings and revenue in 2025.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, Vimeo expects demand for video to remain high and plans to increase investment in key areas such as video-powered learning, security features, and new video formats. The company projects Q1 2025 revenue to be near $100 million, with an operating loss of approximately $9 million and Adjusted EBITDA slightly above breakeven. For the full year 2025, Vimeo anticipates low single-digit revenue growth, with growth accelerating throughout the year, and an Adjusted EBITDA of $25 million to $30 million.
