What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Nir Zohar became co-CEO of Wix.com. This appointment comes as Wix.com faces margin pressure linked to spending by Base44. In the third quarter, Wix.com reported revenue of $570.16 million, a 12.9% increase year over year, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.42, which surpassed the $1.35 estimate. However, the non-GAAP operating margin fell to 12% from 18%, driven by sales and marketing expenses climbing to $193.19 million.

Why it matters

The margin pressure is attributed to spending by Base44, which Wix.com acquired and integrated as a subsidiary. Management has consequently lowered its full-year free cash flow margin target to approximately 16%. The leadership change involves Nir Zohar, who is already a Co-Founder and President of Wix.com.
