Although investors are cheering these developments, growth comes at a cost. The company noted that it continues to spend heavily as part of its growth acceleration strategy. 

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $55.3 million for the quarter, up 70% YoY, due to the company’s investments in the areas of sales/advertising and technology/content.

The company’s guidance outlines that it expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of $200 to $220 million for FY 2022, with YoY losses expected to begin decreasing in 2023.
