Additional information will also be available on our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, when filed. In addition, reference will be made to certain non-GAAP financial measures.

In 2025, we completed a 3-year journey to fundamentally transform the business and position Upwork to extend our leadership in the AI era. We've reinvented our product, customer experience and operations to enable Upwork to become the human plus AI solution for the market. Today, we're seeing the early benefits of the new Upwork in our full year 2025 financial performance, which included over $4 billion in GSV, $788 million in revenue and $226 million in adjusted EBITDA.2025๋…„, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ทผ๋ณธ์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ˜์‹ ํ•˜๊ณ  AI ์‹œ๋Œ€์—์„œ Upwork์˜ ๋ฆฌ๋”์‹ญ์„ ํ™•์žฅํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํฌ์ง€์…”๋‹ํ•˜๋Š” 3๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ์—ฌ์ •์„ ์™„์ˆ˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” Upwork๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ธ๊ฐ„+AI ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์ด ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ œํ’ˆ, ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ ๋ฐ ์šด์˜์„ ์žฌ์ฐฝ์กฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ์—์„œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด Upwork์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 40์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ GSV(์ด ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก), 7์–ต 8,800๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  2์–ต 2,600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA๊ฐ€ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Both revenue and adjusted EBITDA were at record levels with revenue growth of 2.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 29%, and we finished the year with a strong Q4 that included year-over-year growth of 3% in GSV, 4% in revenue and a 27% adjusted EBITDA margin. We're entering the year well positioned to accelerate growth and generate strong margins in 2026 and beyond by capitalizing on the $1.3 trillion market opportunity in front of us. In this new era of work reshaped by AI, Upwork is positioned to lead the shift towards flexible skills-based talent.๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋ชจ๋‘ ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋งค์ถœ์€ 2.4% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ๊ณ  ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์€ 29%๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” GSV๊ฐ€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3%, ๋งค์ถœ์ด 4% ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„ 27%๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์•ž์— ๋†“์ธ 1์กฐ 3์ฒœ์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ 2026๋…„๊ณผ ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ข‹์€ ์œ„์น˜์—์„œ ํ•œ ํ•ด๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

I'll unpack our fourth quarter operating achievements across the 3 growth pillars we shared at our November Investor Day, AI, SMB and Enterprise and share our 2026 goals for each. Erica will discuss our Q4 and full year 2025 financial performance and 2026 guidance, and then we'll take your questions. There's no doubt that AI is reshaping how work gets done. From what we see every day on our platform, AI and humans do their best work together. Our research published in November shows that human plus agent collaboration increases job completion rates by up to 70% compared to agents working alone and we're not an outlier.์ €๋Š” 11์›” ํˆฌ์ž์ž์˜ ๋‚ ์—์„œ ๊ณต์œ ํ–ˆ๋˜ 3๋Œ€ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ถ•์ธ AI, SMB(์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…), ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ๊ฑธ์นœ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์šด์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜๊ณ , ๊ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ 2026๋…„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๊ณต์œ ํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Third-party reports from Anthropic, LinkedIn and Workday further support Upwork's vision for a future of work that keeps humans at the center with AI amplifying their results. We're evolving the Upwork Marketplace to harness this reality. In Q4, we embedded more AI functionality in the Marketplace that helped clients and talent work together more easily, generated more than 50% GSV growth from AI-related work on the platform and laid the foundation to integrate agents to deliver work outcomes. With respect to Upwork's AI native Marketplace, we continue to advance our search and recommendation functionality and Uma, Upwork's AI agent to help clients hire faster and more effectively.Anthropic, LinkedIn, Workday์˜ ์ œ3์ž ๋ณด๊ณ ์„œ๋“ค์€ AI๊ฐ€ ์ธ๊ฐ„์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ฆํญ์‹œํ‚ค๋ฉด์„œ ์ธ๊ฐ„์„ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์— ๋‘๋Š” ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ์—…๋ฌด ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ Upwork์˜ ๋น„์ „์„ ๋”์šฑ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ˜„์‹ค์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด Upwork ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ™”์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๊ณผ ์ธ์žฌ๊ฐ€ ๋” ์‰ฝ๊ฒŒ ํ˜‘์—…ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋•๋Š” AI ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์„ ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค์— ๋” ๋งŽ์ด ๋‚ด์žฌํ™”ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๋‚ด AI ๊ด€๋ จ ์—…๋ฌด์—์„œ GSV 50% ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์—…๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ํ†ตํ•ฉ์˜ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

In total, we estimate that these improvements contributed $100 million in incremental GSV in 2025. In Q4, we introduced AI generated work summaries to give clients a richer multidimensional view of a freelancer's experience and to enable more confident and better fit hiring decisions. This new feature is already delivering an increased spend per client. By continuously adding AI functionality to our Marketplace, we're removing friction between talent and clients and improving monetization in our platform.์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์‚ฌํ•ญ๋“ค์ด 2025๋…„์— 1์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ฆ๋ถ„ GSV(์ด ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก)์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”์ •๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” AI ์ƒ์„ฑ ์—…๋ฌด ์š”์•ฝ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์„ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜์—ฌ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋žœ์„œ์˜ ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ๋ณด๋‹ค ํ’๋ถ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋‹ค์ฐจ์›์ ์œผ๋กœ ํŒŒ์•…ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋”์šฑ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ์ ํ•ฉํ•œ ์ธ์žฌ๋ฅผ ์ฑ„์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ง€์›ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์€ ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋‹น ์ง€์ถœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค์— AI ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ธ์žฌ์™€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ฐ„์˜ ๋งˆ์ฐฐ์„ ์ œ๊ฑฐํ•˜๊ณ  ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์ˆ˜์ตํ™”๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We're also seeing strong durable growth in AI-related work as companies move from AI experimentation to execution, as business leaders work to translate AI promises into tangible business impact. Many are turning to independent professionals to help with strategy, integration and implementation. GSV from AI-related work surpassed $300 million on an annualized basis in Q4, up more than 50% from the prior year. This performance was driven by categories like generative AI and creative production and AI integration and automation, which nearly doubled year-over-year in Q4.๋˜ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด AI ์‹คํ—˜ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ ์‹คํ–‰ ๋‹จ๊ณ„๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๊ณ , ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„๋“ค์ด AI์˜ ์•ฝ์†์„ ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, AI ๊ด€๋ จ ์—…๋ฌด์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์ง€์† ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งŽ์€ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด ์ „๋žต ์ˆ˜๋ฆฝ, ํ†ตํ•ฉ ๋ฐ ๊ตฌํ˜„์„ ์ง€์›๋ฐ›๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋…๋ฆฝ ์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€๋“ค์„ ์ฐพ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Further, in Q4, we saw the number of clients engaging in AI work increase over 50% year-over-year with GSV from these clients exceeding our average spend per client by about 3x. While this is still a minority of the total work done in the Upwork Marketplace, AI work is becoming more material every day and is an exciting indicator of our AI tailwind. Finally, on agents. In Q4, we outlined our AI agent strategy and introduced the human and agent productivity index or HAPI, the first of its kind real-world evaluation framework measuring agent performance with humans in the loop.๋˜ํ•œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” AI ๊ด€๋ จ ์—…๋ฌด์— ์ฐธ์—ฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 50% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋“ค ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ GSV(์ด ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก)๋Š” ํ‰๊ท  ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ง€์ถœ์•ก ๋Œ€๋น„ ์•ฝ 3๋ฐฐ๋ฅผ ์ดˆ๊ณผํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์•„์ง Upwork ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค์—์„œ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๋Š” ์ „์ฒด ์—…๋ฌด ์ค‘ ์†Œ์ˆ˜์— ๋ถˆ๊ณผํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, AI ์—…๋ฌด๋Š” ๋‚ ๋งˆ๋‹ค ๋”์šฑ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ AI ์ˆœํ’์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ธ ์ง€ํ‘œ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ์— ๊ด€ํ•ด์„œ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” AI ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ์ „๋žต์„ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  HAPI(Human and Agent Productivity Index)๋ฅผ ๋„์ž…ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ธ๊ฐ„์ด ๊ฐœ์ž…ํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ค์ œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์—์„œ ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ์„ฑ๋Šฅ์„ ์ธก์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ์ตœ์ดˆ์˜ ์‹ค์„ธ๊ณ„ ํ‰๊ฐ€ ํ”„๋ ˆ์ž„์›Œํฌ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Early learnings validated that human plus agent collaboration delivers superior outcomes to agents alone, and this is shaping our next phase with agent human pairs already in testing in our product today and rolling out to all customers by year-end. Turning to our second growth pillar, SMBs remain a major growth driver for Upwork, and we're seeing strong traction here with Business Plus, our purpose-built SMB solution. Since launching at the end of 2024, Business Plus has scaled quickly demonstrating the strength of the product and its fit with this segment. In Q4, we kicked off new targeted marketing efforts with the launch of our first dedicated campaign going after small businesses.์ดˆ๊ธฐ ํ•™์Šต ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋Š” ์ธ๊ฐ„๊ณผ ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ์˜ ํ˜‘์—…์ด ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ๋‹จ๋…๋ณด๋‹ค ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์ž…์ฆํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋‹ค์Œ ๋‹จ๊ณ„๋ฅผ ํ˜•์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ-์ธ๊ฐ„ ํŽ˜์–ด๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ œํ’ˆ์—์„œ ํ…Œ์ŠคํŠธ ์ค‘์ด๋ฉฐ ์—ฐ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ณ ๊ฐ์—๊ฒŒ ์ถœ์‹œ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ถ•์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€์„œ, ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…(SMB)์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ Upwork์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ํŠน๋ณ„ํžˆ ๊ตฌ์ถ•๋œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์ธ Business Plus๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๊ฒฌ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2024๋…„ ๋ง ์ถœ์‹œ ์ดํ›„, Business Plus๋Š” ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ํ™•์žฅ๋˜์–ด ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ๊ณผ ์ด ์„ธ๊ทธ๋จผํŠธ์™€์˜ ์ ํ•ฉ์„ฑ์„ ์ž…์ฆํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์†Œ๊ทœ๋ชจ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค๋ฅผ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ์œผ๋กœ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ฒซ ์ „์šฉ ์บ ํŽ˜์ธ ์ถœ์‹œ์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ํ™œ๋™์„ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This campaign highlights how Business Plus addresses SMB's most pressing needs from access to top talent to team-based hiring and credit-based payment terms.

2025 was a pivotal year with the introduction of Lifted, enabled by the acquisition of 2 companies, Lifted's offering is designed to support every major contingent work contract type and integrate directly into the workflows used by the world's largest companies. Enterprise customers tell us they want these capabilities and can't get them from anyone else in the market today. In Q4, we focused on bringing teams and platforms together and finalized and launched the first phase of a go-to-market strategy to expand with existing customers and pursue a focused set of about 3,000 prioritized Enterprise accounts, each with more than $50 million in annual contingent spend.2025๋…„์€ 2๊ฐœ ๊ธฐ์—… ์ธ์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด Lifted๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ „ํ™˜์ ์ด ๋œ ํ•ด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Looking ahead to 2026, we're continuing to build on the progress we made last year across our 3 growth pillars. In AI, we're taking our AI native Marketplace to the next level.

Our recent in-demand skills report found that demand for top AI-enabled skills more than doubled year-over-year and that human expertise commands a premium across work categories. We're helping talent develop and deploy deeper AI skills, including through our partnership with OpenAI to offer AI training, certifications, and upskilling to global independent professionals on Upwork. Through a range of ecosystem partners like OpenAI, we see an opportunity to continue to extend our reach in new ways. With respect to AI agents, in 2026, we will deepen human agent collaboration across the Marketplace.์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ˆ˜์š” ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ๋ณด๊ณ ์„œ์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅด๋ฉด, ์ฃผ์š” AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‘ ๋ฐฐ ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ชจ๋“  ์—…๋ฌด ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ์ธ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ „๋ฌธ์„ฑ์ด ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” OpenAI์™€์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด Upwork์˜ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋…๋ฆฝ ์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ AI ๊ต์œก, ์ž๊ฒฉ์ฆ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฐ•ํ™” ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๋“ฑ ์ธ์žฌ๋“ค์ด ๋” ๊นŠ์ด ์žˆ๋Š” AI ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ•˜๊ณ  ํ™œ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our work with third-party agent developers will enable us to offer a differentiated human and AI experience for delivering high-quality work outcomes. Our unique human and AI agent benchmark provides both a critical training ground for agents and a quality bar for ensuring great work outcomes. With spend on AI agents projected to reach $120 billion by 2028, we're positioning Upwork to capture a meaningful share of this emerging market. For SMB, 2026 is about expanding and scaling our offering. We're doubling down on SMB-specific features for onboarding, team hiring and AI-driven curation and running targeted marketing programs for Business Plus to drive broader adoption.์ œ3์ž ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ์ž๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ํ˜‘๋ ฅ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ ์—…๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ์ธ๊ฐ„๊ณผ AI ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๋…์ž์ ์ธ ์ธ๊ฐ„๊ณผ AI ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ ๋ฒค์น˜๋งˆํฌ๋Š” ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ํ›ˆ๋ จ์žฅ์ด์ž ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์—…๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ํ’ˆ์งˆ ๊ธฐ์ค€์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

As we said in our November Investor Day, our goal for Business Plus is to double in GSV, to represent over 5% of our total annual GSV in 2026. At the end of Q4, we're already pacing ahead of plan to reach these 2026 targets, underscoring our early progress in capturing more of the $530 billion SMB market. Finally, in Enterprise, our 2026 playbook also remains consistent with what we shared at our Investor Day. Our focus of the first half of the year is on integration and implementation of the Lifted platform as we continue to nurture the growing pipeline of enterprises interested in this solution.11์›” ํˆฌ์ž์ž์˜ ๋‚ ์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, Business Plus์˜ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋Š” GSV๋ฅผ ๋‘ ๋ฐฐ๋กœ ๋Š˜๋ ค 2026๋…„ ์ „์ฒด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ GSV์˜ 5% ์ด์ƒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง ํ˜„์žฌ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ 2026๋…„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ณ„ํš๋ณด๋‹ค ์•ž์„œ ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 5,300์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—… ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์žˆ์–ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ์ง„์ „์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ Enterprise ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋„, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ 2026๋…„ ์ „๋žต์€ ํˆฌ์ž์ž์˜ ๋‚ ์—์„œ ๊ณต์œ ํ•œ ๋‚ด์šฉ๊ณผ ์ผ๊ด€๋˜๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ดˆ์ ์€ Lifted ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ํ†ตํ•ฉ๊ณผ ๊ตฌํ˜„์— ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์— ๊ด€์‹ฌ์„ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—… ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์œก์„ฑํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
On the back of sales efforts that are already underway, we expect ramping the Lifted business in the second half of this year and then driving scale in 2027 as we unlock the $650 billion Enterprise market opportunity. In parallel, we'll look to accelerate our road map and time to market through targeted acquisitions. Through thoughtful M&A over the last 2.5 years, we successfully raised our game in AI and Enterprise. We'll continue to look for strategic investments that further accelerate our AI, SMB and Enterprise growth initiatives.์ด๋ฏธ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ์˜์—… ํ™œ๋™์„ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— Lifted ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  6,500์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์‹œ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์ฒ™ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ 2027๋…„์— ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋ฅผ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋™์‹œ์— ์ „๋žต์  ์ธ์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋กœ๋“œ๋งต๊ณผ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ถœ์‹œ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 2๋…„ ๋ฐ˜ ๋™์•ˆ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ M&A๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด AI์™€ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์œผ๋กœ๋„ AI, SMB ๋ฐ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ์ „๋žต์  ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ชจ์ƒ‰ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
2025 marked the capstone year in our transformation of Upwork we rebuilt the company for the age of human plus AI work, while demonstrating strong financial performance. Now we're positioned to lead as the operational backbone for customers navigating this new era. The opportunity ahead is massive, and we're entering 2026 prepared to build on our momentum. With that, I'll turn it over to Erica. Erica Gessert

Our teams executed relentlessly over the past 3 years, working with discipline and speed to transform Upwork, preparing us to lead in the future of work. We grew GSV to over $4 billion in 2025 with fourth quarter GSV accelerating to 3% growth year-over-year at over $1 billion. We continue to evolve the Upwork and Lifted platforms to serve the highest value customers and use cases which is showing up in key leading indicators on our platform. In addition to the AI and Business Plus growth metrics Hayden shared, average GSV per active client increased throughout the year, growing 7% year-over-year in Q4 to a record level of over $5,100.์ €ํฌ ํŒ€์€ ์ง€๋‚œ 3๋…„๊ฐ„ ๋Š์ž„์—†์ด ์‹คํ–‰์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๊ทœ์œจ๊ณผ ์†๋„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  Upwork๋ฅผ ๋ณ€ํ™”์‹œ์ผœ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์˜ ์ผํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ์„ ๋„ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ค€๋น„ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ GSV(์ด ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก)๋ฅผ 40์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œ์ผฐ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ GSV๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3% ์„ฑ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋˜์–ด 10์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๋„˜์–ด์„ฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” Upwork์™€ Lifted ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ฐœ์ „์‹œ์ผœ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๊ณผ ์‚ฌ์šฉ ์‚ฌ๋ก€๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์„ ํ–‰์ง€ํ‘œ์—์„œ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And overall spend per contract increased 10% year-over-year, resulting in the highest ever average spend per contract over any 12-month period at Upwork. While Marketplace GSV growth was relatively flat in the fourth quarter over last year. This was driven primarily by fewer low-value, high-volume contracts. Given the positive fundamentals around larger clients, we expect positive GSV and revenue growth in each quarter of 2026. We ended the quarter with 785,000 active clients. GSV per new client increased 5% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter, representing our sixth consecutive quarter of annual growth for this key value signal.๊ณ„์•ฝ๋‹น ์ „์ฒด ์ง€์ถœ์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” Upwork์˜ 12๊ฐœ์›” ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ์ค‘ ์—ญ๋Œ€ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ๋‹น ํ‰๊ท  ์ง€์ถœ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค GSV(์ด ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก) ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณดํ•ฉ์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์ €๊ฐ€์น˜ยท๊ณ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋Ÿ‰ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ๊ฑด์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•œ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€ํ˜• ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ํŽ€๋”๋ฉ˜ํ„ธ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, 2026๋…„ ๊ฐ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋งˆ๋‹ค GSV์™€ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ ํ™œ์„ฑ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜๋Š” 785,000๋ช…์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋‹น GSV๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 5%, ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ด ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ง€ํ‘œ๊ฐ€ 6๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์—ฐ์† ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our churn rate declined over the course of 2025 with fourth quarter churn reaching its lowest level in over 8 quarters. Churn in Q4 was over 130 basis points lower than the churn rate in Q4 2024. These improving churn rates as well as growing yields in our acquisition marketing mean that we expect to resume sequential active client growth in Q1. Our Q4 results reflect the success of several key customer experience improvement initiatives, starting with GSV from Business Plus, which increased 24% quarter-over-quarter. Revenue from Freelancer Plus grew 29% year-over-year, helping to drive total ads and monetization revenue growth of 24% year-over-year.2025๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ ์€ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ ์€ 8๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ด์ƒ ์ค‘ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋‚ฎ์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ ์€ 2024๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 130bp ์ด์ƒ ๋‚ฎ์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ  ๊ฐœ์„ ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํš๋“ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ  ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ธํ•ด, 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ํ™œ์„ฑ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‹ค์‹œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์€ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฃผ์š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ ๊ฐœ์„  ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณต์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ € Business Plus์˜ GSV๊ฐ€ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 24% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

These and other enhanced value proposition strategies enabled us to grow our Marketplace take rate to 19.0% in Q4 2025, up from 18.1% in Q4 2024 which helped drive 5% year-over-year growth in Q4 2025 Marketplace revenue. Enterprise revenue decreased 3% year-over-year in Q4 as anticipated. Following our 2025 pause in selling our legacy Enterprise plans as we shifted to our new strategy with Lifted. As discussed at Investor Day, we are targeting 25% GSV growth for our Enterprise business this year, with significant acceleration in the second half when integration is complete and we onboard and ramp customers onto the new Lifted platform.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ–ฅ์ƒ๋œ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ œ์•ˆ ์ „๋žต๋“ค์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2025๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค ํ…Œ์ดํฌ๋ ˆ์ดํŠธ๋ฅผ 19.0%๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œ์ผฐ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 2024๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ 18.1% ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด 2025๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 5% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋Œ€๋กœ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” Lifted๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ „๋žต์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ 2025๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ธฐ์กด ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ํ”Œ๋žœ ํŒ๋งค๋ฅผ ์ค‘๋‹จํ–ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ธ๋ฒ ์Šคํ„ฐ ๋ฐ์ด์—์„œ ๋…ผ์˜ํ•œ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ GSV ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ 25%๋กœ ์„ค์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ†ตํ•ฉ์ด ์™„๋ฃŒ๋˜๊ณ  ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์„ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด Lifted ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ์˜จ๋ณด๋”ฉํ•˜๊ณ  ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋Š” ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As Hayden discussed, we are seeing strong signals of customer interest and we're focused on executing on our integration plans with speed to capture this opportunity. As such, we continue to expect Lifted to ramp in the second half of 2026 and to be meaningfully accretive to GSV, revenue and adjusted EBITDA in 2027. Gross margin was 78.0% in Q4, and a record high of 77.8% for the full year 2025 as we continue to execute disciplined cost management across every part of our business.Hayden์ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์‹ ํ˜ธ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์‹ ์†ํ•œ ํ†ตํ•ฉ ๊ณ„ํš ์‹คํ–‰์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ Lifted๋Š” 2026๋…„ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋ณธ๊ฒฉํ™”๋˜๊ณ , 2027๋…„์—๋Š” GSV, ๋งค์ถœ ๋ฐ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA์— ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ฆ๋Œ€ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ ธ์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 78.0%๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„ ์ „์ฒด๋กœ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ ์น˜์ธ 77.8%๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—… ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Non-GAAP operating expense was $107 million in the fourth quarter or 54% of revenue, on par with Q4 2024, even as we absorbed approximately $6 million in incremental operating expenses and integration costs, from the 2 acquisitions supporting the Lifted strategy. For the full year, non-GAAP operating expense was $405 million or 51% of revenue compared to 57% of revenue in 2024, reflecting our strong execution and cost management with our business. Adjusted EBITDA was $53 million in the fourth quarter, exceeding the high end of our Q4 guidance range and reaching a record fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 27%.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋น„-GAAP ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ์€ 1์–ต 700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 54%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” Lifted ์ „๋žต์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๋Š” 2๊ฑด์˜ ์ธ์ˆ˜๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์•ฝ 600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ฆ๋ถ„ ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ ๋ฐ ํ†ตํ•ฉ ๋น„์šฉ์„ ํก์ˆ˜ํ–ˆ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  2024๋…„ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ๋™๋“ฑํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋น„-GAAP ์˜์—…๋น„์šฉ์€ 4์–ต 500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 51%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 2024๋…„ ๋งค์ถœ ๋Œ€๋น„ 57%์™€ ๋น„๊ต๋˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์น˜๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์‹คํ–‰๋ ฅ๊ณผ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ • EBITDA๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 5,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜์—ฌ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๋ฒ”์œ„์˜ ์ƒ๋‹จ์„ ์ดˆ๊ณผํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 27%์˜ ์—ญ๋Œ€ ์ตœ๊ณ  4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was a record $226 million and reached our highest ever annual EBITDA margin of 29%. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter was $57 million. We generated a record $223 million in free cash flow in 2025, which we expect to use to support organic growth initiatives, M&A to accelerate our growth strategies and additional share repurchases. In the quarter, we used $34 million in cash to buy back approximately 2 million shares and used a total of $136 million in 2025 to purchase more than 9 million shares as part of our commitment to driving long-term shareholder value.์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA๋Š” 2์–ต 2,600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ ์น˜๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์œจ๋„ 29%๋กœ ์—ญ๋Œ€ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์€ 5,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ์‚ฌ์ƒ ์ตœ๊ณ ์ธ 2์–ต 2,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์ง€์›, ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋žต ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ M&A, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์— ์‚ฌ์šฉํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์•ฝ 200๋งŒ ์ฃผ๋ฅผ ๋งค์ž…ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ 3,400๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ ์‚ฌ์šฉํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„ ์ „์ฒด๋กœ๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์ฃผ์ฃผ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ œ๊ณ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์˜์ง€์˜ ์ผํ™˜์œผ๋กœ 900๋งŒ ์ฃผ ์ด์ƒ์„ ๋งค์ž…ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ด 1์–ต 3,600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ์‚ฌ์šฉํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $673 million at the end of the year. Now turning to guidance. For the full year 2026, we continue to expect GSV growth in the range of 4% to 6% and revenue growth in the range of 6% to 8% or between $835 million to $850 million. Starting in Q2, we expect GSV total take rate and revenue to increase sequentially throughout the remainder of 2026, driven in part by Lifted completing its integration efforts and beginning to ramp GSV in revenue in the second half of the year. We also continue to expect full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 29% or between $240 million to $250 million.ํ˜„๊ธˆ, ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ฑ์ž์‚ฐ ๋ฐ ์œ ๊ฐ€์ฆ๊ถŒ์€ ์—ฐ๋ง ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์•ฝ 6์–ต 7,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ „์ฒด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” GSV ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  4%์—์„œ 6% ๋ฒ”์œ„, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  6%์—์„œ 8% ๋ฒ”์œ„ ๋˜๋Š” 8์–ต 3,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 8์–ต 5,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ GSV ์ด ํ…Œ์ดํฌ๋ ˆ์ดํŠธ์™€ ๋งค์ถœ์ด 2026๋…„ ๋‚จ์€ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋™์•ˆ ์ˆœ์ฐจ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ Lifted๊ฐ€ ํ†ตํ•ฉ ์ž‘์—…์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•˜๊ณ  ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— GSV์™€ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋ณธ๊ฒฉ์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ „์ฒด ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์ด ์•ฝ 29% ๋˜๋Š” 2์–ต 4,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 2์–ต 5,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While we were incurring about 2 percentage points of margin dilution from investments in the Lifted growth strategy in 2026, we are maintaining our margin rate on a year-over-year basis. We expect to exit 2026 at a margin in the low 30s as a number of longer-term cost optimization strategies start to bear fruit in the back half of the year. We expect full year 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS to be between $1.43 and $1.48. For the first quarter of 2026, we expect to generate revenue in the range of $192 million to $197 million. In 2025, we delivered major platform improvements and a return to growth through our focus on higher value clients and more complex work.2026๋…„์—๋Š” Lifted ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋žต์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์•ฝ 2%ํฌ์ธํŠธ์˜ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํฌ์„์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋งˆ์ง„์œจ์€ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋น„์šฉ ์ตœ์ ํ™” ์ „๋žต๋“ค์ด ๊ฒฐ์‹ค์„ ๋งบ๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ 2026๋…„ ๋ง์—๋Š” ๋งˆ์ง„์œจ์ด 30% ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜๋Œ€์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋งํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ non-GAAP ํฌ์„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์€ $1.43์—์„œ $1.48 ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” $1์–ต 9,200๋งŒ์—์„œ $1์–ต 9,700๋งŒ ์‚ฌ์ด์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋งํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ๊ณ ๋ถ€๊ฐ€๊ฐ€์น˜ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๊ณผ ๋” ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ์—…๋ฌด์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ ์ฃผ์š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๊ฐœ์„ ๊ณผ ์„ฑ์žฅ ํšŒ๋ณต์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด๋ƒˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The key long-term growth levers we've identified on our Upwork platforms, AI, SMB and Enterprise, are all progressing well, including the growth metrics across Business Plus, the AI category and other leading growth indicators that Hayden and I shared today. This gives us confidence in achieving our top line growth outlook for the year. While also continuing to invest in growth and optimize our cost base. For adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter, we are guiding to a range of $45 million to $47 million, which represents an adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 23% to 24%.์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ Upwork ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—์„œ ํŒŒ์•…ํ•œ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์ธ AI, SMB(์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…), ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  Enterprise(๋Œ€๊ธฐ์—…) ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” Business Plus, AI ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ๋ฐ ์ œ๊ฐ€ Hayden๊ณผ ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๊ณต์œ ํ•œ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ฃผ์š” ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋“ค์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์น˜๊ฐ€ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋ง ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋™์‹œ์— ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์†ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋น„์šฉ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ์ตœ์ ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์กฐ์ • EBITDA์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, 4,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 4,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋กœ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์กฐ์ • EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„ 23%์—์„œ 24% ๋ฒ”์œ„์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our margin outlook in Q1 is lower than is typical for our business due to the rapid pace of our Lifted integration projects, investments to support growth on the Lifted platform and some incremental marketing investments to support additional growth opportunities in the Marketplace. With the long-term cost optimization initiatives we have implemented, we have strong confidence in our 29% margin outlook for the year and in our ongoing progress toward our long-term 35% margin target. We expect Q1 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS to be between $0.26 and $0.28. In closing, Upwork is well positioned for accelerating multiyear growth starting this year.1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งˆ์ง„ ์ „๋ง์€ ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์ค€๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‚ฎ์€๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” Lifted ํ†ตํ•ฉ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์˜ ๋น ๋ฅธ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์†๋„, Lifted ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค์˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ฆ๋ถ„ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ํˆฌ์ž ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•œ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋น„์šฉ ์ตœ์ ํ™” ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด, ์˜ฌํ•ด 29% ๋งˆ์ง„ ์ „๋ง๊ณผ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋ชฉํ‘œ์ธ 35% ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ํ–ฅํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ง„์ „์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ non-GAAP ํฌ์„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ 0.26๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 0.28๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, Upwork๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘๋˜๋Š” ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ์œ ๋ฆฌํ•œ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
I'm excited about the growth opportunities ahead and look forward to building on our current momentum in 2026. We are entering the year with strong progress on our key growth levers, on a highly profitable foundation and with a very strong track record of producing operating leverage. We have proven our commitment to growing shareholder value, and our strong balance sheet and tremendous free cash flow yield give us flexibility to maximize value and continue to solidify our market leadership. I know I speak for everyone at Upwork when I say we are excited about 2026 and the great growth prospects for our business.

Eric Sheridan: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division Maybe one, just putting a finer point on the way you're framing 2026. When you think about the investments you're making exiting 2025 and moving it to the front half of 26, whether it be AI features on the platform or Business Plus expansion or even Lifted. How should we think about those investments scaling as you move deeper into 2026. But more importantly, how should we think about some of the contributions to GSV and revenue growth building and momentum as you get deeper into 2026 and the exit velocity of 2026.**Eric Sheridan:** 2026๋…„์„ ๋ฐ”๋ผ๋ณด๋Š” ๊ด€์ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ข€ ๋” ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, 2025๋…„ ๋ง๋ถ€ํ„ฐ 2026๋…„ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€๋Š” ํˆฌ์ž๋“ค, ์ฆ‰ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ AI ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์ด๋“ , Business Plus ํ™•์žฅ์ด๋“ , ๋˜๋Š” Lifted๋“  ๊ฐ„์— ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋“ค์ด 2026๋…„์œผ๋กœ ๊นŠ์ด ๋“ค์–ด๊ฐ€๋ฉด์„œ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ ์ง€ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด์…”์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€, 2026๋…„์œผ๋กœ ๊นŠ์ด ๋“ค์–ด๊ฐ€๊ณ  2026๋…„ ๋ง๋กœ ํ–ฅํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ GSV์™€ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๋„๊ฐ€ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ตฌ์ถ•๋˜๊ณ  ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ์–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ ์ง€๋ฅผ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ด์•ผ ํ•˜๋Š”๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Chief Financial Officer: Thanks, Eric. This is Erica. We've always anticipated when we guided to the 4% to 6% GSV growth and 6% to 8% revenue growth at our Investor Day. We always anticipated a ramp throughout the year in kind of both GSV and revenue. As we mentioned on the call, Lifted -- the investment side of Lifted, we're engaging in right now really moving as quickly as possible with our integration. That includes kind of initial investments in kind of sales and marketing there as well as finalizing our national entity structure. We expect to onboard and ramp new customers and existing customers on to Lifted platform in the back half of the year. And so we're going to see some acceleration there on the Enterprise side. Similarly, on the Marketplace side, we have very strong kind of growth trajectory of our growth levers. The AI category growing over 50% year-over-year. Business Plus growing 24%. And actually, its ramp into Q1 is even stronger than we expected when we planned for the year. So we feel very good about the growth trajectory of these growth levers and expect them to ramp throughout the year and exit at our high point for growth rates on both Lifted and the Marketplace.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Eric.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director On the AI and search side, we've made a few types of investments here that already started having impact for us last year, and we'll continue to ramp this year, both in terms of features that are live and new features we'll be shipping. To give you a little bit of color on that, we launched Uma Recruiter as one example, which is a key feature currently in the Business Plus plan. That's really accelerating time to hire by getting clients to a short list of really high fit candidates very quickly. We've also been launching some features around things like conversational search and messaging where we can get a much richer idea of a client's goals and needs and then go into our tremendous talent pool and target the right prospects for that based on that more enriched search experience. So some of those things are already live and having impact, and we'll continue to ramp across our customer base this year. And then, of course, we're also doing more this year to take the investments in the Uma platform and really make some changes to the user experience, both on the side of kind of pre-hire, so the search and match side as well as the collaboration and project management area. Those are places where we're investing this year. We're shipping new experiences that really are transformative and are much more AI-powered with Uma at the center of those experiences. And what we're seeing in early testing is they really are having a positive impact to customers as they go through our funnel and are able to offload more of the work to Uma and move more quickly towards their goals. So that work is ongoing and is definitely going to propel our results this year.**Hayden Brown:** AI์™€ ๊ฒ€์ƒ‰ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ž‘๋…„์— ์ด๋ฏธ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์œ ํ˜•์˜ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์˜ฌํ•ด๋„ ํ˜„์žฌ ์šด์˜ ์ค‘์ธ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๊ณผ ์ƒˆ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ถœ์‹œํ•  ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๊ณ„์† ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, Uma Recruiter๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ Business Plus ํ”Œ๋žœ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์ ํ•ฉ๋„๊ฐ€ ๋งค์šฐ ๋†’์€ ํ›„๋ณด์ž ๋ช…๋‹จ์„ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ํ™•๋ณดํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ํ•ด์„œ ์ฑ„์šฉ ์†Œ์š” ์‹œ๊ฐ„์„ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋‹จ์ถ•์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€ํ™”ํ˜• ๊ฒ€์ƒ‰๊ณผ ๋ฉ”์‹œ์ง• ๊ฐ™์€ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๋“ค๋„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ ๋ชฉํ‘œ์™€ ๋‹ˆ์ฆˆ๋ฅผ ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” ํ’๋ถ€ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํŒŒ์•…ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ณ , ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๋‹ค์Œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ฐฉ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ธ์žฌ ํ’€์—์„œ ์ด๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋œ ๊ฒ€์ƒ‰ ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ ์ ํ•ฉํ•œ ํ›„๋ณด์ž๋“ค์„ ํƒ€๊ฒŸํŒ…ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ธฐ๋Šฅ๋“ค ์ค‘ ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ์šด์˜ ์ค‘์ด๋ฉฐ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ „์ฒด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฌผ๋ก  ์˜ฌํ•ด๋Š” Uma ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์ž ๊ฒฝํ—˜์— ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋งŒ๋“ค์–ด๋‚ผ ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฑ„์šฉ ์ „ ๋‹จ๊ณ„, ์ฆ‰ ๊ฒ€์ƒ‰๊ณผ ๋งค์นญ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ด๊ณ  ํ˜‘์—…๊ณผ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ์˜์—ญ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๋ถ€๋ถ„๋“ค์ด ์˜ฌํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ถ„์•ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” Uma๋ฅผ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์— ๋‘” ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ด๊ณ  ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ฒฝํ—˜๋“ค์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ํ…Œ์ŠคํŠธ์—์„œ ํ™•์ธํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฒฝํ—˜๋“ค์ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํผ๋„(funnel)์„ ๊ฑฐ์น˜๋ฉด์„œ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์ž‘์—…์„ Uma์—๊ฒŒ ๋งก๊ธฐ๊ณ  ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ํ–ฅํ•ด ๋” ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜์•„๊ฐˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•ด์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ž‘์—…์€ ํ˜„์žฌ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ด๋ฉฐ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์‹ค์ ์„ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Chief Financial Officer: And Ron, to your question on marketing and specifically on Business Plus, but we did start to have some Business Plus dedicated campaigns launching in Q4 and have continued some of those into Q1. The great thing about Business Plus is these customers spend 2.5x the platform average in GSV and new customers who onboard onto Business Plus have a higher spend profile than the average. And so these are very good investments for us. And one of the reasons we're stepping -- kind of marketing up a little bit around the Marketplace side in Q1 is because we are seeing some very nice yields in terms of the spend that we've been doing. And so the great thing about kind of how we've been managing our cost base is, we will have capacity this year to spend a little bit more on the sales and marketing side, because we have other longer-term kind of cost optimization projects coming through that we expect to benefit the back half of the year. That includes some back-end automation we've been working on for a couple of years now as well as a location strategy to hire and kind of lower cost locations. So all those things will benefit us in the back half, enable us to kind of continue to grow our margins and invest in marketing.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ก , ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…๊ณผ ํŠนํžˆ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค(Business Plus)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค ์ „์šฉ ์บ ํŽ˜์ธ์„ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ๊ณ  1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋„ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์บ ํŽ˜์ธ์„ ๊ณ„์† ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค์˜ ์žฅ์ ์€ ์ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ํ‰๊ท  ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ด ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜์•ก(GSV) ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ 2.5๋ฐฐ๋ฅผ ์ง€์ถœํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค์— ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ฐ€์ž…ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์€ ํ‰๊ท ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋†’์€ ์ง€์ถœ ํ”„๋กœํ•„์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค์šฐ ์ข‹์€ ํˆฌ์ž์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…์„ ๋‹ค์†Œ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ด์œ  ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๊ฐ€ ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง‘ํ–‰ํ•œ ์ง€์ถœ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋งค์šฐ ์ข‹์€ ์ˆ˜์ต๋ฅ ์„ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋น„์šฉ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•ด์˜จ ๋ฐฉ์‹์˜ ์žฅ์ ์€, ์˜ฌํ•ด ์˜์—… ๋ฐ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ์ข€ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์—ฌ๋ ฅ์ด ์ƒ๊ธด๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ์ตœ์ ํ™” ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋“ค์ด ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ด๊ณ , ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ทธ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•ด์˜จ ๋ฐฑ์—”๋“œ ์ž๋™ํ™” ์ž‘์—…๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜, ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„๊ฐ€ ๋‚ฎ์€ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ์ฑ„์šฉํ•˜๋Š” ์ž…์ง€ ์ „๋žต๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ชจ๋“  ์š”์†Œ๋“ค์ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ ธ์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋™์‹œ์— ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…์—๋„ ํˆฌ์žํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Sang-Jin Byun: Jefferies LLC, Research Division This is John Byun on for Brent Thill. Maybe 2 questions. One, in terms of the Q1 guide on maybe revenue and GSV, are there any special seasonal factors there, given I think people expect a little more in Q1, excluding the ramp in Lifted, especially, I guess, in the Marketplace segment. And then second on, I think, sorry about that, second, on the top of funnel, if you could talk about any impact from SEO versus GEO and performance marketing, that would be great.**Sang-Jin Byun:** ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ Brent Thill์„ ๋Œ€์‹ ํ•œ John Byun์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ GSV ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ํŠน๋ณ„ํ•œ ๊ณ„์ ˆ์  ์š”์ธ์ด ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Sang-Jin Byun: Jefferies LLC, Research Division Okay. Yes, I did hear the echo. Yes. The first question was on the Q1 guide for GSV and revenue. I mean wondering if there are any special seasonal factors given, I think, people expect a little more. I mean I know you're ramping Lifted more in the second half, but I don't know if there's any other factors in the Marketplace segment. And then at the top of the funnel, I don't know if you've seen any impact still in SEO versus GEO in the different performance marketing channels.

Chief Financial Officer: For the first question on the Q1 guide, I apologize, we're having a little bit of audio difficulty here on our end, but hopefully, everyone can hear me. On the Q1 guide, look, Q1 is manifesting as we expected when we guided at our Investor Day in November, this was always going to be a little bit of a bridge quarter for us, first and foremost, as you referenced on the Enterprise side with the investments upfront in Lifted and really the acceleration of revenue in GSV coming when we start to transfer people onto the platform. On the Marketplace side, we have been focusing on growing these larger customers with longer-term relationships. And that's been extremely successful for us. It's showing up across our platform and are lowering churn rates and other things like that. But there is some ramp to the spend with these customers. And so if there's been kind of an any kind of smaller impacts on the margins to volumes. It's really been at the very lowest end smallest contract types kind of sub-$100 contracts. Every leading indicator on our platform for future growth, including GSV per active, up 7% year-over-year, spend per contract of 10% year-over-year and importantly, spend per new customer continues to grow, which is a very important value signal for us. So we feel really good about the underlying growth trajectory of our business and are confident in our guide for the year. On the top of funnel question on SEO and GEO. I think, we actually have seen some very, very good initial yields on the GEO side, but it's super early days. These are very, very new channels for everyone. And I also think there's some interplay still between SEO and GEO. So we feel really confident and positive about what we're seeing from a signal point of view on that side of the house, but it's also very early days.**Chief Financial Officer:** 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃ„์†กํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ €ํฌ ์ชฝ ์˜ค๋””์˜ค์— ์•ฝ๊ฐ„ ๋ฌธ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์—ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ž˜ ๋“ค๋ฆฌ์‹œ๊ธธ ๋ฐ”๋ž๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” 11์›” ํˆฌ์ž์ž์˜ ๋‚ ์— ์ œ์‹œํ–ˆ๋˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋Š” ํ•ญ์ƒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ์ผ์ข…์˜ ๊ฐ€๊ต ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌด์—‡๋ณด๋‹ค๋„ ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ Lifted์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์„ ํ–‰ ํˆฌ์ž๊ฐ€ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, GSV ๋งค์ถœ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์„ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์œผ๋กœ ์ด์ „์‹œํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•  ๋•Œ ๋ณธ๊ฒฉํ™”๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ผ“ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์Šค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ์  ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ๋งบ๋Š” ๋Œ€ํ˜• ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ด์—ˆ๊ณ , ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ๊ทธ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ  ๊ฐ์†Œ ๋“ฑ์˜ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋กœ๋„ ํ™•์ธ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ์ง€์ถœ์—๋Š” ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„ ๋žจํ”„์—… ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋งˆ์ง„์— ์†Œํญ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋‚ฎ์€ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์˜ ์†Œ๊ทœ๋ชจ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ์œ ํ˜•, ์ฆ‰ 100๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—์„œ ํ–ฅํ›„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ด๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์„ ํ–‰ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋“ค์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ํ™œ์„ฑ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋‹น GSV๊ฐ€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 7% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๊ณ„์•ฝ๋‹น ์ง€์ถœ์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋‹น ์ง€์ถœ์ด ๊ณ„์† ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์‹ ํ˜ธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๊ทผ๋ณธ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ถค๋„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Maria Ripps: Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division First, can you maybe expand a little more on active client trends in Q4?

Chief Financial Officer: Yes. So obviously, we talked on the call, our churn rate has been coming down kind of sequentially throughout 2025, and down 130 bps throughout the year, year-over-year in Q4. So the ongoing benefits to churn rate, this is -- if you -- the active client number is a trailing 12-month number. So those are going to continue to compound and benefit us as we go into 2026. So that is one of the dynamics helping us as well as the fact that we are seeing some good top-of-funnel yields as we go into Q1. And so we're feeling pleased with also the kind of top-of-funnel acquisition, which is going to benefit us and help to resume active client growth.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ 2025๋…„ ๋‚ด๋‚ด ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ ์ด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„๋กœ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ๊ณ , 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 130bp ํ•˜๋ฝํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ  ๊ฐœ์„  ํšจ๊ณผ๋Š” ๊ณ„์† ์ด์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฐธ๊ณ ๋กœ ํ™œ์„ฑ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜๋Š” ํ›„ํ–‰ 12๊ฐœ์›” ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„  ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋ˆ„์ ๋˜๋ฉด์„œ 2026๋…„์—๋„ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director Sure, Maria. We are really pleased with the category growth that we've already seen, up more than 50% year-over-year. This is our fastest-growing category and subcategories within the AI group are really on fire, which is exciting for us. We expect this to continue to be a trend throughout this year and into the future years. We are not seeing strong indications on the platform. However, we're always looking at making sure we have exactly the right talent to do this work, augmenting the pool we have of 250,000 AI experts already working with our clients in the last year alone. And that's where we're doing things like the partnership with OpenAI where we're helping them on the side of sort of certifying 10 million talent that they've committed to with their OpenAI for jobs initiative, and we are definitely exited to see a place where those can come and find work. So we're not seeing a bottleneck here. We're excited about the growth. We think it's extremely durable based on what we're seeing in the ecosystem and our investing in 2025 and 2026 rather.**Hayden Brown:** ๋„ค, Maria. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 50% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋งค์šฐ ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director Sure, Matt. On the listed side, we are very pleased that we're tracking to plan with this work. And yes, we've seen both the new client interest, including the 2 clients you referenced, which given the sales cycle in Enterprise is so long, we are very pleased to already have those clients coming on board with us. But you're right, we're also in conversations with our existing customers who are moving us in for RFPs and contracts that we would not have been in contention with before. And so our funnel is quite healthy, and that's a mix of both new demand and folks that are really new to our story, but also existing customers who now are considering us for work that was previously really not in the cards for us. So all the signs there are extremely promising in terms of the green shoots, and we see a really clear path to accelerating this business over the course of the year.**Hayden Brown:** ์ƒ์žฅ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ๊ณ„ํš๋Œ€๋กœ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด ๋งค์šฐ ๋งŒ์กฑ์Šค๋Ÿฝ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋‘ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์‚ฌ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•ด ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์ด ๋†’์•„์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”, ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์˜์—… ์‚ฌ์ดํด์ด ์›Œ๋‚™ ๊ธธ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•˜๋ฉด ์ด๋ฏธ ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ํ•ฉ๋ฅ˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์ •๋ง ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋Œ€๋กœ ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๋„ ์ด์ „์—๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ๋Œ€์ƒ์— ํฌํ•จ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜๋˜ RFP๋‚˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ๊ฑด์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์ฐธ์—ฌ์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ํ˜„์žฌ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์ƒํƒœ์ธ๋ฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ˆ˜์š”์™€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์Šคํ† ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์ฒ˜์Œ ์ ‘ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ, ์ด์ „์—๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ณ ๋ ค ๋Œ€์ƒ์กฐ์ฐจ ์•„๋‹ˆ์—ˆ๋˜ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๊ฒ€ํ† ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ชจ๋“  ์ง•ํ›„๋“ค์ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ํšŒ๋ณต์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋™์•ˆ ์ด ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Chief Financial Officer: Yes. And then just on the variable freelancer fee, Matt, we are really excited about the strategy. We had some real success with the very early testing that we did in 2025. We are going to be rolling out the variable freelancer fee to more categories starting in Q1 and kind of doing more of a gradual rollout throughout the year. And so that's another reason that we have a lot of confidence in the ramp for the year from a revenue point of view and GSV because we are kind of rolling this out gradually and we'll continue to test. But this has been a super successful strategy for us and actually really speaks to the strength of our data science bench here, which has been really creative and come up with something that is using the supply and demand dynamics on the platform to drive both GSV and revenue.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ณ€๋™ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋žœ์„œ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ(variable freelancer fee)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, Matt, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด ์ „๋žต์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ํ…Œ์ŠคํŠธ์—์„œ ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋’€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์— ๋ณ€๋™ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋žœ์„œ ์ˆ˜์ˆ˜๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ๋„์ž…ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์ ์ง„์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ GSV ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๊ฐ–๋Š” ๋˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์ด์œ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ ์ง„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๊ณ„์† ํ…Œ์ŠคํŠธ๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์ €ํฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค์šฐ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์ธ ์ „๋žต์ด์—ˆ๊ณ , ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ €ํฌ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์‚ฌ์ด์–ธ์Šค ํŒ€์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ์„ ์ž˜ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋ก€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŒ€์ด ์ •๋ง ์ฐฝ์˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์ˆ˜์š”์™€ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์—ญํ•™์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•ด์„œ GSV์™€ ๋งค์ถœ ๋ชจ๋‘๋ฅผ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Bernard McTernan: Needham & Company, LLC, Research Division Great, appreciate it. Maybe just to start on Business Plus it was -- the large number, 38% of clients are actually being new to Upwork. I was just surprised it seems like it's a pretty strong acquisition to why I thought it might be more of an existing selling. So maybe you can just talk to the go-to-market there and what you're seeing that's successful. And then on the -- just a clarification on the fourth quarter, given the Marketplace take rate of 19%, I think it implies the Enterprise GSV was up a lot year-over-year. So basically, should we expect a step down in 1Q before ramp back up throughout the year? Or just how to think about the shape of the GSV trends on Enterprise.**Bernard McTernan:** ๋„ค, ์ข‹์€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ € Business Plus ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ๊ณ ๊ฐ์˜ 38%๊ฐ€ ์—…์›Œํฌ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ƒํ–ฅ ํŒ๋งค(upselling)๋ณด๋‹ค๋Š” ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด ์ธก๋ฉด์ด ๋” ๊ฐ•ํ•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ง„์ถœ ์ „๋žต(go-to-market)์ด ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ž‘๋™ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ฆ๊ฑฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณต ์š”์ธ๋“ค์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, Business Plus๊ฐ€ ์ค‘๊ฒฌ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค์šฐ ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ์ง„์ž…์ ์ด ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋“ค์€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋žœ์„œ ์ธ๋ ฅ ํ™œ์šฉ์˜ ์ด์ ์„ ์ธ์‹ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ฒด๊ณ„์ ์ธ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์™€ ์ง€์›์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด์ฃ .

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director On the side of Business Plus, you're right, this has actually proven to be an extremely effective client acquisition strategy. And I think we're still very early in kind of fully deploying the opportunity around that. And we did this first targeted SMB marketing campaign in Q4. We saw some really positive results from that. We are seeing great acceleration both in terms of client volumes, 49% client growth quarter-on-quarter and the spend, which is really important because this is a key part of our strategy for moving Upmarket to larger small businesses. Those that maybe have 50-plus employees, have much more sustaining spend, are looking to get more complex work done. This is really the sweet spot for that product. And we're already ahead of plan as we enter Q1 in terms of the contribution of Business Plus to GSV against the target we have exiting the year coming from Business Plus. So all signs are really showing that this is something that's appealing to both new and existing customers. And I think there's a lot of run room for us to continue to both expand the value proposition, but also execute the marketing and other things behind that growth that's going to be durable this year and beyond.**Hayden Brown:** Business Plus ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ์ด ์ œํ’ˆ์ด ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๋งค์šฐ ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์ธ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด ์ „๋žต์ž„์ด ์ž…์ฆ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์•„์ง ์ด ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๋Š” ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์— ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฒ˜์Œ์œผ๋กœ ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…(SMB) ํƒ€๊ฒŸ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์บ ํŽ˜์ธ์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ •๋ง ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ˆ˜ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ „ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 49% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ์ง€์ถœ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋„ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ •๋ง ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ธ๋ฐ, ๋” ํฐ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…์œผ๋กœ ์ƒํ–ฅ ์ด๋™(Upmarket)ํ•˜๋Š” ์ €ํฌ ์ „๋žต์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ด๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 50๋ช… ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ง์›์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๊ณ , ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๋” ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ์—…๋ฌด๋ฅผ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค ๋ง์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด ์ œํ’ˆ์˜ ์ตœ์  ํƒ€๊ฒŸ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ง„์ž…ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ด๋ฏธ ๊ณ„ํš์„ ์•ž์„œ๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๋ง ๋ชฉํ‘œ ๋Œ€๋น„ Business Plus๊ฐ€ GSV์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์—์„œ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ๋ชจ๋“  ์ง€ํ‘œ๋“ค์ด ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๊ณผ ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋ชจ๋‘์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ œ์•ˆ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…๊ณผ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ํ™œ๋™๋“ค์„ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์—ฌ์ง€๊ฐ€ ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์˜ฌํ•ด๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„์—๋„ ์ง€์†๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Chief Financial Officer: Yes. And on the GSV trends on Enterprise, there obviously is some contribution from the acquisitions in terms of the year-over-year growth. But overall kind of Enterprise revenue, we are in sort of a holding pattern right now in terms of the revenue that we're recognizing from our legacy business. As -- just to remind everyone, we stopped selling new Enterprise plans. And actually, we stopped both the land and expand motion on legacy Enterprise at the beginning of 2025. And so to the extent there is some minor churn at the low end on Enterprise right now. We don't have new customers coming on the platform right now to replace it. So in Q1, we do expect there to be some kind of slight decline in overall Enterprise revenue sequentially, but that's all in anticipation of the build on Lifted and really ramping up very quickly once we put the new platform -- light up the new platform.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ GSV ์ถ”์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์—๋Š” ์ธ์ˆ˜ ํ•ฉ๋ณ‘์˜ ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๋ถ„์ด ์ผ๋ถ€ ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋งค์ถœ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ํ˜„์žฌ ๋ ˆ๊ฑฐ์‹œ ์‚ฌ์—…์—์„œ ์ธ์‹ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ •์ฒด ์ƒํƒœ์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ํ”Œ๋žœ ํŒ๋งค๋ฅผ ์ค‘๋‹จํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ 2025๋…„ ์ดˆ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ ˆ๊ฑฐ์‹œ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด์™€ ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•์žฅ ํ™œ๋™์„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ค‘๋‹จํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ํ˜„์žฌ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ํ•˜์œ„ ๊ตฌ๊ฐ„์—์„œ ์†Œํญ์˜ ์ดํƒˆ์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ๋Œ€์ฒดํ•  ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ด ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ์œ ์ž…๋˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And then just to clarify on this -- when we reconcile your first quarter and full year guide, it implies a path where revenue growth exits this year and possibly mid-teens from where you are right now.

Chief Financial Officer: Yes, sure. In terms of the AI category, Rohit, so several of the factors you mentioned are true about the spend on the AI category. First and foremost, average kind of hourly weight or hourly rate or wage in the AI category is about 40% higher than kind of average kind of tech wages on the platform. So it is significantly higher rate. There is also just higher volume of work. So if you think about some of the spend and actually where we're seeing very fast growth, it is in kind of AI infrastructure work, also generative AI, kind of prompt engineering type work and some of these are quite big or long-term projects. So yes. So it's -- overall, there's a good reason to see -- to believe that this is going to continue to grow, and we really see no end in sight to the growth in that category. In terms of sorry, what was -- I think the other question was the exit rate for revenue growth. Yes. Enterprise is a big factor here because the 25% year-over-year GSV growth that we're targeting for Enterprise that's really all in the back half of the year. So that is ramping quickly in the back half of the year, like we said, once that platform lights up. But we also have a lot of confidence, and we do expect that Marketplace GSV and revenue will continue to ramp from a growth rate point of view throughout the rest of this year. And the reason for that is that we are -- all of these kind of growth drivers in the platform are scaling up. Business Plus continues to grow and scale every single quarter. The AI category growing 50% year-over-year. We have visibility into that and expect that to at least continue the current growth rates throughout 2026. And then like I said, things like the variable freelancer fee, which will also be ramping. All of these are drivers to enable the growth of GSV and revenue throughout the year.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director So there's, I'd say, like raging debate about is it AI or humans or is it AI and human. And we are looking at the data on our platform in this every single day, and it is very clear that the solutions that are winning in the market today bring together the best of what agents can do with human judgment, with human as an overlay and a supplement to what the AI agents are capable of, even the most powerful ones. We launched this Benchmark last year, called the HAPI Benchmark, which really is benchmarking humans and agents together. And that really shows that when you bring a human into the mix, agents are able to complete work with a 70% or more success rate than when they're just operating alone. So there's a big step up when you bring humans into the equation. So all of that is a backdrop for our strategy, which is really about bringing our incredible asset in terms of a talent network that is skilled, that is capable, that is AI equipped, alongside agents, whether they are our own agents like Uma, but also the huge and growing ecosystem of third-party agents. So that those humans and agents can collaborate seamlessly to deliver outcomes for our clients. And you're right, Rohit. This is not a user experience that exists anywhere else, and we are really building it from the ground up here at Upwork. We have a product in testing today where clients can submit jobs or submit work they're trying to get done and human and agent pairs collaborate on delivering those results. That's the experience that we are using as kind of the initial framing for what we'll be rolling out over the course of this year, where we bring humans and agents together as collaborative workers inside of our ecosystem, delivering work for customers. But our view is that this is -- we are in the early innings of a huge opportunity. I think it's roughly $130 billion of agentic spend by 2028. And we believe we can participate in a meaningful part of that by enabling third-party agents and our talent to collaborate together to deliver incredible work outcomes right here on our platform.**Hayden Brown:** ํ˜„์žฌ AI๋ƒ ์ธ๊ฐ„์ด๋ƒ, ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ฉด AI์™€ ์ธ๊ฐ„์˜ ํ˜‘์—…์ด๋ƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์น˜์—ดํ•œ ๋…ผ์Ÿ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๋งค์ผ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ๋ฉด๋ฐ€ํžˆ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์„ฑ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜๋“ค์€ AI ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ(agent)๊ฐ€ ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ๊ณผ ์ธ๊ฐ„์˜ ํŒ๋‹จ๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉํ•œ ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„๋ฌด๋ฆฌ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ AI ์—์ด์ „ํŠธ๋ผ๋„ ์ธ๊ฐ„์ด ๋ณด์™„ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฐ๋…ํ•˜๋Š” ์—ญํ• ์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ฃ .

Joshua Chan: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Just 2 questions from me. I guess the first question is on EBITDA. I was wondering if you could bridge us from the $59 million to almost $60 million of EBITDA you did in Q3 to the $53 million in Q4 and then and then the Q1 guide. I know that revenue is a little bit lower, but just curious to hear what moving pieces are leading to that EBITDA cadence over the last couple of quarters? And then, I guess, secondly, on Enterprise, what are some of the milestones that you are looking for to achieve in order to hit your kind of 2026 aspirations? I know you mentioned winning 2 clients. So how many clients do you need to win by midyear to get there? Just something to help us understand the pace of what we should be hoping for would be helpful on that side.**Joshua Chan:** ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์€ EBITDA์— ๊ด€ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 5,900๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 6,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€๋˜ EBITDA๊ฐ€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 5,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋กœ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ณ€ํ™”ํ–ˆ๋Š”์ง€ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ๋งค์ถœ์ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋‚ฎ์•„์ง„ ๊ฒƒ์€ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ EBITDA ํ๋ฆ„์„ ๋งŒ๋“  ๋ณ€๋™ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์ด ๋ฌด์—‡์ธ์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Financial Officer: Yes, Josh, on the EBITDA bridge, in Q4 is when we really -- Q3 we closed the Ascen deal and so had only about, I think, half a quarter of their cost base in our results. So we -- the full quarter of the 2 cost bases, but more importantly, we incurred in Q4, we started to incur a number of kind of integration costs that are temporary in nature to -- in order to kind of enable that business largely on the kind of platform enablement side. Similarly, in Q1, I think, we're projecting about $6 million of investment in Q1, much of which is temporary in nature as we kind of invest in the final international entity structure and other things for the Lifted platform. Also in Q4, we -- it tends to be a slightly lighter adjusted EBITDA quarter, and that's largely because of kind of bonus accruals and other things that happened in that quarter.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, Josh, EBITDA ๋ธŒ๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ฌ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— Ascen ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋ฅผ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ์•ฝ ๋ฐ˜ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ •๋„๋งŒ ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‹ค์ ์— ๋ฐ˜์˜๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋‘ ํšŒ์‚ฌ์˜ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์ด ์ „์ฒด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ๋” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์ผ์‹œ์  ์„ฑ๊ฒฉ์˜ ํ†ตํ•ฉ ๋น„์šฉ๋“ค์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ ๊ตฌ์ถ• ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ํ•ด๋‹น ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director On the side of the Enterprise milestones, Josh, we feel great about where the pipeline is right now in order to achieve those growth goals that we have for later in the year. Just to give you the sense, we're going after a target set of about 3,000 Enterprise customers who all spend each one $50 million or more on contingent labor. And so a shift in our strategy now that Lifted is coming into fruition really lets us go after much bigger customers with much bigger contracts than what we are eligible for in the past. And so to hit our growth goal, we don't need hundreds of customers to onboard. We need a small number of high-quality clients who are ramping their programs with us and not we're very focused on, and we see the signs of that happening. So key milestones as we look out across the year, but first of all, we'll be launching and migrating clients onto the Lifted platform once our integration work is complete, and we're targeting the middle of the year for that. And then, of course, on the back of those migrations and turning on both new and existing customers with that functionality, we will see those step ups in GSV revenue that we're expecting in Q3 and Q4.**Hayden Brown:** ๊ธฐ์—… ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ด€๋ จ ๋งˆ์ผ์Šคํ†ค ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, Josh, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด ํ›„๋ฐ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ํ˜„์žฌ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ๊ฐ ์ž„์‹œ ์ธ๋ ฅ์— ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์„ ์ง€์ถœํ•˜๋Š” ์•ฝ 3,000๊ฐœ์˜ ๊ธฐ์—… ๊ณ ๊ฐ์„ ํƒ€๊ฒŸ์œผ๋กœ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director Sure. We are really excited about the momentum we see in the AI categories. And I would say we continue to see on the flip side, a minor impact from categories like writing and translation, which for many quarters and now even years have been declining due to automation broadly and AI more recently. So that's one small factor, but I'd actually say the bigger factor behind some of our more modest growth rates in the immediate term, it's really just like -- it's a transition quarter for us. We've really been launching our Enterprise sales strategy. That's ramping the SMB strategy around Business Plus, that's ramping. Those things are really coming into effect over the course of this year. And at the same time, I'd say on the margin, this is a labor market that's not great and certainly hasn't improved. We saw in December, the lowest BLS data on job openings since September of 2020. And I think that's just indicative of the slowness in the market overall, which, of course, tracks through to our platform to an extent, even though we're growing faster than competitors. Even though we're growing when folks staffing firms are reporting negative growth numbers still. So I think the comparison is we're taking share and we're positioned well with our growth strategy. A lot of these tailwinds are not very durable like AI, and we're very focused on that that's are working.**Hayden Brown:** ์ €ํฌ๋Š” AI ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ๊ธฐ๋Œ€๊ฐ€ ํฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด์— ์ž‘๋ฌธ์ด๋‚˜ ๋ฒˆ์—ญ ๊ฐ™์€ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์†Œํญ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋“ค ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ, ์•„๋‹ˆ ๋ช‡ ๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ์ž๋™ํ™”์™€ ์ตœ๊ทผ์˜ AI๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ž‘์€ ์š”์ธ์ด๊ธด ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์‚ฌ์‹ค ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ €ํฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ์™„๋งŒํ•œ ๋” ํฐ ์ด์œ ๋Š” ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ๊ฒช๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์˜์—… ์ „๋žต์„ ๋ณธ๊ฒฉ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค(Business Plus)๋ฅผ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ์ค‘์†Œ๊ธฐ์—…(SMB) ์ „๋žต๋„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ „๋žต๋“ค์ด ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋“ค์–ด ๋ณธ๊ฒฉ์ ์œผ๋กœ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ฐœํœ˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋™์‹œ์— ํ•œ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ํ˜„์žฌ ๋…ธ๋™์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์ข‹์ง€ ์•Š๊ณ  ๊ฐœ์„ ๋˜์ง€๋„ ์•Š๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 12์›” BLS(๋…ธ๋™ํ†ต๊ณ„๊ตญ) ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด ๊ตฌ์ธ ๊ฑด์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ 2020๋…„ 9์›” ์ดํ›„ ์ตœ์ €์น˜๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ ๋‘”ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ์ง€ํ‘œ๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—๋„ ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿผ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ธ๋ ฅํŒŒ๊ฒฌ ์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ๋งˆ์ด๋„ˆ์Šค ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๋ณด๊ณ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์—์„œ๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Financial Officer: I would just add, Brad, real quick to this, which is that if we're seeing headwinds, it's not so much on a category level, aside from writing and translation, which has been consistent in our platform for a while. But we are -- we see some kind of a little bit of negative growth on these very, very small, very transactional projects, kind of sub-$300 or more and so -- or less. And so honestly, that just reinforces the power of our strategy to focus on these longer-term relationships, which are durable they ramp over time, they improve our churn rates, and we maintain these relationships for a long time. So I think this is going to be the winning strategy. It's really been working for us. And you can see it in the leading indicators in our base with GSV per client, GSV per contract, you use for a new customer, all of these things going up into the right. So we feel good about it.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋ธŒ๋ž˜๋“œ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์— ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€๋งŒ ๋ง๋ถ™์ด์ž๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์—ญํ’์„ ๋งž๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ์ฐจ์›์—์„œ๋Š” ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋ฌธ ๋ฐ ๋ฒˆ์—ญ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์˜ˆ์™ธ์ธ๋ฐ, ์ด ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—์„œ ํ•œ๋™์•ˆ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ทธ๋ž˜์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋งค์šฐ ์ž‘๊ณ  ๋‹จ๋ฐœ์„ฑ์ธ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ๋“ค, ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ๊นŒ 300๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ ์ •๋„์˜ ํ”„๋กœ์ ํŠธ์—์„œ ์•ฝ๊ฐ„์˜ ๋งˆ์ด๋„ˆ์Šค ์„ฑ์žฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†”์งํžˆ ๋งํ•˜๋ฉด, ์ด๋Š” ์˜คํžˆ๋ ค ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๊ด€๊ณ„์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ „๋žต์˜ ํž˜์„ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์‹œ์ผœ ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋Š” ์ง€์† ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ณ , ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚˜๋ฉด์„œ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ดํƒˆ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ , ์˜ค๋žœ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•ด์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์Šน๋ฆฌํ•˜๋Š” ์ „๋žต์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ์ •๋ง ์ž˜ ์ž‘๋™ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋‹น GSV, ๊ณ„์•ฝ๋‹น GSV, ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์‚ฌ์šฉ๋Ÿ‰ ๋“ฑ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์„ ํ–‰ ์ง€ํ‘œ๋“ค์„ ๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด ๋ชจ๋‘ ์šฐ์ƒํ–ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Financial Officer: So our guidance and our outlook for this year is definitely not predicated on any additional M&A. We are going to achieve our plans just based on or organic levers that are written for us. However, we have done some fantastic and very beneficial M&A over the last 2.5 years. That includes AI-related acquisitions and Enterprise-related acquisitions. And so we will continue to run a playbook that's working for us. And if we see targets out there that are really lined up against our AI, our SMB or Enterprise strategies, those are the places where we would get more interested.**Chief Financial Officer:** ์˜ฌํ•ด ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์™€ ์ „๋ง์€ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ M&A๋ฅผ ์ „์ œ๋กœ ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ์ž์ฒด์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ๋งŒ์œผ๋กœ๋„ ๊ณ„ํš์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ, ์ง€๋‚œ 2๋…„ ๋ฐ˜ ๋™์•ˆ ๋งค์šฐ ํ›Œ๋ฅญํ•˜๊ณ  ์œ ์ตํ•œ M&A๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” AI ๊ด€๋ จ ์ธ์ˆ˜์™€ ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๊ด€๋ จ ์ธ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์ธ ์ „๋žต์„ ๊ณ„์† ์‹คํ–‰ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งŒ์•ฝ AI, SMB ๋˜๋Š” ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ์ž˜ ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•˜๋Š” ์ธ์ˆ˜ ๋Œ€์ƒ์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์—์„œ ๋” ์ ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฒ€ํ† ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Marvin Fong: BTIG, LLC, Research Division Maybe to start on the 2 new Lifted customers, it's a great sign of validation of the strategy, just very early days, I understand. But would love to hear anything you could say about these 2 clients, I mean, to the extent you're able to speak to how much they spend on contingent labor or just how many employees they have in general? Or even if you can give us that, just anything on how that sales process evolved? Did the deal close as you'd expected on the time line you expect?

Hayden Brown: President, CEO & Director Sure. So we can't disclose too many specifics on these customers, but I can tell you they're really in the sweet spot of that ideal customer profile we have with tens of millions of dollars of contingent work spend with programmatic work happening through this part of their business, the contingent work program. And I'd say they, like many of the other customers that are in our funnel, they have really lit up when we pitch them on this Lifted proposition and the fact that we could provide a differentiated solution that gives them compliant contracting across all 5 different types of contingent work, through a single platform with the highest quality talent that's out there. So they really were, I think, indicative of the product market fit that we've been building towards with the Lifted strategy. And we have many more customers like them in our funnel, which -- we're pleased to be nurturing over the year. We know this long sales cycle. Some of these buyers only make a decision once annually around going to the vendor in the space. So we're nurturing those relationships. It's working, and we're very excited what that's going to do in the back half of the year.**Hayden Brown:** ๋„ค, ์ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ๋งŽ์ด ๊ณต๊ฐœํ•  ์ˆ˜๋Š” ์—†์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด๋“ค์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์„ค์ •ํ•œ ์ด์ƒ์ ์ธ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ”„๋กœํ•„์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ์— ์ •ํ™•ํžˆ ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆด ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋“ค์€ ์ˆ˜์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์ง ์ธ๋ ฅ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์ง ์ธ๋ ฅ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋ž˜๋ฐ ๋ฐฉ์‹์œผ๋กœ ์—…๋ฌด๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์— ์žˆ๋Š” ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋งŽ์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, ์ด๋“ค๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ Lifted ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ์ œ์•ˆํ–ˆ์„ ๋•Œ ์ •๋ง ํฐ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋‹จ์ผ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด 5๊ฐ€์ง€ ์œ ํ˜•์˜ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์ง ์ธ๋ ฅ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ปดํ”Œ๋ผ์ด์–ธํŠธํ•œ ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ , ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์ธ์žฌ๋ฅผ ํ™•๋ณดํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์—์„œ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ Lifted ์ „๋žต์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•ด์˜จ ์ œํ’ˆ-์‹œ์žฅ ์ ํ•ฉ์„ฑ(product market fit)์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋ก€๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ˜„์žฌ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์˜์—… ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์—๋Š” ์ด์™€ ์œ ์‚ฌํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ๋งŽ์ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋‚ด๋‚ด ์ด๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ๋ฐœ์ „์‹œ์ผœ ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์˜์—… ์ฃผ๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๊ธธ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์ž˜ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ตฌ๋งค ๋‹ด๋‹น์ž๋“ค์€ ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์˜ ๋ฒค๋”๋ฅผ ์„ ์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒฐ์ •์„ ์—ฐ 1ํšŒ๋งŒ ๋‚ด๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋“ค์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ ‘๊ทผ๋ฒ•์ด ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์–ด๋–ค ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ผ์ง€ ๋งค์šฐ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Marvin Fong: BTIG, LLC, Research Division Great. And my follow-up, just on the Q1 guidance, just trying to square all the points being made. I think you said clients would be up sequentially yet the revenue guide is down sequentially. Is there something going on with the GSV per client? Or I know you also said Enterprise revenue would be down sequentially.

Chief Financial Officer: Yes. So Enterprise revenue, we do expect to be down sequentially. And again, this is really as we kind of invest for the future and make the Lifted platform kind of transaction ready. Overall, our -- I think we're very comfortable with the guide for Q1. And the reality is that when customers join us on the platform, right, as new customers come on, their spend ramps over time. So we are -- we do expect that our kind of new customer count will resume growth sequentially in Q1. But it takes time for those customers to kind of dip their toes in the water and then ramp with us. So we don't get as big of an impact in Q1 from kind of increasing new customer counts.**Chief Financial Officer:** ๋„ค, ์—”ํ„ฐํ”„๋ผ์ด์ฆˆ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ „๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋ฏธ๋ž˜๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  Lifted ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์ƒํƒœ๋กœ ๋งŒ๋“œ๋Š” ๊ณผ์ •์—์„œ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๋Š” ํ˜„์ƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ํ™•์‹ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์— ํ•ฉ๋ฅ˜ํ•˜๋ฉด, ์‹ ๊ทœ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ์ง€์ถœ์€ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ ์ง„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
