Loss-Making Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR) Expected To Breakeven

Fiverr International Ltd.'s (NYSE:FVRR): Fiverr International Ltd. operates an online marketplace worldwide. The US$3.8b market-cap company’s loss lessens since it announced a US$34.2m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$22.2m, as it approaches breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is FVRR’s path to profitability – when will it breakeven? I’ve put together a brief outline of industry analyst expectations for FVRR, its year of breakeven and its implied growth rate.

According to the 6 industry analysts covering FVRR, the consensus is breakeven is near. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2020, before turning a profit of US$2.8m in 2021. Therefore, FVRR is expected to breakeven roughly a couple of months from now! In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which FVRR must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 106% is expected, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, FVRR may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

I’m not going to go through company-specific developments for FVRR given that this is a high-level summary, however, take into account that generally a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.

One thing I’d like to point out is that FVRR has managed its capital judiciously, with debt making up 0.2% of equity. This means that FVRR has predominantly funded its operations from equity capital,and its low debt obligation reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
