    SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cricut, Inc. (“Cricut”) (NASDAQ: CRCT), the creative technology company that has brought a connected platform for making to millions of users worldwide, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

    “We finished the quarter in line with our expectations and launched some important innovations. On July 18th, we launched Cricut Venture, the largest and fastest connected cutting machine on the Cricut Platform. Cricut Venture represents the fourth, all-new architecture of connected machines in our history and demonstrates our commitment to innovation. As part of the launch, we held our first in-person consumer event since 2020. We love the energy these events generate within our community and are planning to do more in-person customer events around new products and our Cricut platform. Despite the 3% sales decline from a year ago, we are encouraged by our subscriptions revenue and machines revenue growth which increased year over year 13% and 5%, respectively. Our international growth was positive, with 34% year over year growth. The Cricut platform now has over 8.4 million total users, up 17% over Q2 last year. This creates a tremendous opportunity for us to build deeper user engagement on our platform by helping them discover inspiration, design then make their projects and share them on our platform,” said Ashish Arora, Chief Executive Officer of Cricut.

    • Operating income was $19.3 million, or 10.8% of total revenue compared to $20.0 million, or 10.9% of revenue in Q2 2022.

Year to date, we have generated $159.6 million in cash from operations and ended Q2 with $361.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and we remain debt free. As part of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of capital allocation, we seek to balance multiple considerations, including ensuring that the Company has more than adequate liquidity and financial flexibility, evaluating opportunities to invest in our business to drive long-term shareholder returns (organically or through potential acquisitions) and returning capital to our shareholders. We announced a $1 per share special dividend or $234.6 million in total, of which $232.2 million was distributed on July 17, 2023, while the remainder will be paid upon vesting of restricted shares.” said Kimball Shill, Chief Financial Officer of Cricut. “We remain committed to our long-term operating margin targets of 15-19%. Our proven model has demonstrated that when we operate at scale and drive top line growth, these margins are achievable.”
