Share Repurchases
Year-to-date through October 31, 2023, GoDaddy repurchased 17.3 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 billion, with an average price per share of $72.85. Cumulatively, these repurchases represent an approximate 20% reduction in fully diluted shares from those outstanding at the inception of the current $4.0 billion buyback authorization.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents were $329.2 million, total debt was $3.9 billion and net debt was $3.6 billion.
Restructuring
In the third quarter, GoDaddy implemented further restructuring efforts to reduce future operating expenses and improve cash flows through a reduction in force impacting approximately 250 employees. In the third quarter, GoDaddy recorded $9.8 million of pre-tax restructuring charges for severance and other employee benefits in its statements of operations.
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, GoDaddy targets total revenue in the range of $1.095 billion to $1.115 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 6% at the midpoint, versus the same period in 2022. Within total revenue, GoDaddy expects fourth quarter applications and commerce revenue growth of approximately 13% and core platform revenue growth in the range of 2% to 3%.
For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, GoDaddy raises its targeted NEBITDA margin to approximately 29%.
For the full year ending December 31, 2023, GoDaddy expects revenue to be in the range of $4.250 billion to $4.270 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 4% at the midpoint. GoDaddy expects NEBITDA margin slightly above the previously guided 26% for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
For the full year ending December 31, 2023, GoDaddy expects unlevered free cash flow of at least $1.2 billion, representing growth of 9%, year-over-year, versus $1.1 billion of unlevered free cash flow generated in 2022. GoDaddy expects free cash flow of at least $1.0 billion, representing growth of 3%, year-over-year, versus the $968.6 million of free cash flow generated in 2022.
For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2024, GoDaddy is targeting to deliver approximately 31% NEBITDA margin driven by the inflection point in profitability observed in the business, the benefits of announced expense initiatives, and continued operational discipline across the organization. GoDaddy expects to continue to enhance profitability further in 2025 and 2026, above the indicated margin targeted for 2024.
GoDaddy’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). GoDaddy does not provide reconciliations from non-GAAP guidance to GAAP equivalents because projections of changes in individual balance sheet amounts are not possible without unreasonable effort and presentation of such reconciliations would imply an inappropriate degree of precision. GoDaddy’s reported results provide reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.
Upcoming Investor Events
GoDaddy plans to demonstrate the capabilities of its newly-launched AI experience, GoDaddy AiroTM, at its Investor Dinner in Tempe, Arizona on November 28, 2023. GoDaddy AiroTM is an AI-powered experience that proactively builds and helps grow online businesses, delivering a one-stop shop solution that automatically generates a logo, website, tailored content, communications and more.
GoDaddy expects to hold an in-person Investor Day in Q1 2024 at its Tempe office during which leaders will discuss GoDaddy’s long-term strategy, innovation initiatives, financial framework and capital allocation strategy, as well as provide demonstrations of recently launched experiences.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on estimates and information available to us at the time of this press release and are not guarantees of future performance. Statements in this press release involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to any statements regarding: launches of new or expansion of existing products or services, any projections of product or service availability, technology developments and innovation, customer growth, or other future events; historical results that may suggest future trends for our business; our plans, strategies or objectives with respect to future operations, partner integrations and marketing strategy; future financial results; GoDaddy’s ability to integrate its acquisitions and achieve desired synergies and vertical integration; the expected impacts of our restructuring efforts; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Actual results could differ materially from our current expectations as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to: the unpredictable nature of our rapidly evolving market; fluctuations in our financial and operating results; our rate of growth; interruptions or delays in our service or our web hosting; our dependence on payment card networks and acquiring processors; breaches of our security measures; the impact of any previous or future acquisitions; our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, our existing and future products and services; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to hire, retain and motivate employees; the effects of competition; technological, regulatory and legal developments; intellectual property litigation; macroeconomic conditions and developments in the economy, financial markets and credit markets; continued escalation of geopolitical tensions, and increasing interest rates and inflationary pressures; and execution of share repurchases.
Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect GoDaddy’s business and financial results are included in the filings we make with the SEC from time to time, including those described in “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, which are available on GoDaddy’s website at https://investors.godaddy.net and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics
In addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics are useful as a supplement in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, similarly titled measures may be calculated differently by other companies and may not be comparable. A reconciliation between each non-GAAP financial measure and its nearest GAAP equivalent is included in this press release following the financial statements. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage our operations.
Total bookings. Total bookings is an operating metric representing the total value of customer contracts entered into during the period, excluding refunds. We believe total bookings provides additional insight into the performance of our business and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts since we typically collect payment at the inception of a customer contract but recognize revenue ratably over the term of the contract.
Constant currency. Constant currency is calculated by translating bookings and revenue for each month in the current period using the foreign currency exchange rates for the corresponding month in the prior period, excluding any hedging gains or losses realized during the period. We believe constant currency information is useful in analyzing underlying trends in our business by eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and allows for period-to-period comparisons of our performance.
Normalized EBITDA (NEBITDA). NEBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating performance used by management and investors to evaluate our business. We calculate NEBITDA as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense (net), provision or benefit for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, restructuring-related expenses and certain other items. We believe that the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring and non-recurring items provides a supplementary measure of our core operating results and permits useful alternative period-over-period comparisons of our operations but should not be viewed as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures.
NEBITDA margin. NEBITDA margin is used by management as a supplemental measure of our operating performance and refers to the ratio of NEBITDA to revenue, expressed as a percentage.
Unlevered free cash flow. Unlevered free cash flow is a measure of our liquidity used by management to evaluate our business prior to the impact of our capital structure and restructuring and after purchases of property and equipment. Such liquidity can be used by us for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet. However, given our debt obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses.
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as our unlevered free cash flow less interest payments for the period. We use free cash flow as a supplemental measure of our liquidity, including our ability to generate cash flow in excess of capital requirements and return cash to shareholders, though it should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, comparable GAAP measures.
Net debt. We define net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt consists of the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt and unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs. Our management reviews net debt as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage and we believe such information is useful to investors. Furthermore, certain analysts and debt rating agencies monitor our net debt as part of their assessments of our business.
Annualized recurring revenue (ARR). ARR is an operating metric defined as quarterly recurring revenue (QRR) multiplied by four. QRR represents the quarterly recurring GAAP revenue, net of refunds, from new and renewed subscription-based services. ARR is exclusive of any revenue that is non-recurring, including, without limitation, domain aftermarket, domain transfers, one-time set-up or migration fees and non-recurring professional website services fees. We believe ARR helps illustrate the scale of certain of our products and facilitates comparisons to other companies in our industry.
Average revenue per user (ARPU). We calculate ARPU as total revenue during the preceding 12 month period divided by the average of the number of total customers at the beginning and end of the period. ARPU provides insight into our ability to sell additional products to customers, though the impact to date has been muted due to our continued growth in total customers.
Total customers. We define a customer as an individual or entity with paid transactions in the trailing twelve months or with paid subscriptions as of the end of the period. A single user may be counted as a customer more than once if they maintain paid subscriptions or transactions in multiple accounts. Total customers is one way we measure the scale of our business and is an important part of our ability to increase our revenue base.
